bargain. If the bloclc could be opened for settlement it would infuse new life into the Thames. The Waste Lauds Act did not authorsie the sale of Te Aroha lands to •Mr Broomhall, but gave power to sell Crown lands under certain restrictions. That waf no warning to the Thames repre sentatives ; they could not be said to have assented to that which the law did not authorise. He had consistently opposed the Waste Lands Board. If it had been an elected Board this sale would not have been essented to. Were the bopes of the Thames people to.be disappointed? No. A greater act of injustice could be done to any people than to sell this land to Mr i Broomhall. If the House considered the faith or the country pledged to Mr Broom hall, let compensation be paid to him ; but nothing could be more cruel than to sell this land, and deprive the Thames people of homesteads. Messrs Atkinson, Murray-Ayndey, and Stout contended that the honour of the colony was pledged to complete the sale. If they wished to complete it they must offer Mr Broomhall compensation. Mr Moss said Mr Broomhall had come to Auckland in the guise of a philanthropist, and not as a speculator. He made philan thropic speeches, but had a remarkably good eye for land. He considered it would be wrong to pass the clause before negotiating with Mr Broomhall as to com pensation. The affair should be left by the House in its present form, pending steps to be be taken to ascertain the exact terms of the bargain. When the House resumed, at half-past ten, af]ber the adjournment, Minister said the negotiations for Te Aroha block never had any actual existence until the Court sat at the Thames. The Waste Lands Board of Auckland sold Mr Broomhall land over which the Crown possessed not a shadow of title, and they might as have well sold private estate. In 1874, the Provincial Government Auckland made distinct promises that the land should be reserved for Thames settlers, and the General Government subsequently made similar promises. There was no evidence that Mr Broomhall had taken any steps to confirm the contract, but he had endea voured to form a speculative company, tro . i ,vhom he was to receive £5,000. He ( r Sheehan) had looked into the contract in 1876, and found that it was wholly illegal. The Attorney - General withdrew the clause. GRANT TO THE MAOEI KING. The schedule to the Special Powers and Contracts Bill contains the following clause: Auckland to fulfil a promise made by the hon. the Premier as an award of compeu sation to Tawhiao to grant to him in fee simple three hundred acres of land near Newcastle, called Tongiraru, the grant to be subject to " The Crown Grants Act, 1578," and acts pending the same. The Govomor may reserve in the grant a right of road not exceeding 100 links wide. NATIVE LAW SUITS BILL. On the Native Lawsuits Bill, Mr Gis borne contended that the proposed Court would not only be judges of the law, but ot the facts ; and suggested that the names of the judges should be inserted in the bill. Mr Montgomery referred to the import ance of the question and argued that the Government must retain the power of appointing the judges, and should be re sponsible to the House and the country for their choice. He contendod that a jury should be appointed to act with the judges. Captain ftussell claimed the consideration of the House, on the ground that the bill had not been circulated amongst the Europeans who would be effected by it. The latest telegrams received from Hawke's Bay expressed dissatlsfaation at the pro posal to leave the appointment of the judges in the hands of the Government. He moved " That the bill be read that day six months."

The Attorney-General said the Govern ment would not consent to advise the Go vernor to go outside his Responsible Ad visers in the selection of the judges. But, if the House did not trust to judges alone, he (Mr Stout) would insert a clause in the bill for the appointment of twelve trained men as a jury, He would also agree to the framing of rules by the Supreme Court, and to a limit of two years within which case 3 must be brought before the Court. The hon. gentleman went on to repudiate party bias on his own part as Attorney- General in the cases which would come be fore the Court. The point now in dispute waa only the appointment of the Judges. Mr McLean approved of the selection of the Judges being left in the bauds of the Government, but thought that as a fair compromise the names of the Judges should be inserted in the bill.

Major Atkinson denied that there was anything derogatory to the Government in inserting the names of the judges in the bill, and said that precedents could be found for that course in England. Through out the colony it was notorious that the Premier was a strong advocate for the Maoris, and the Native Minister had acted as agent tor many of the native suitors. Mr Macfarlane supported the insertion of the names of judges in the bill. Mr Moss suggested that the Bill might be allowed pass with a proviso that it should not come into operation until the lapse of a year. Mr Bowen moved the adjournment oi tne debate until Monday. The House divided. Ayes, 14 ; noes, 18.

The motion for going into committee was carried by 22 to 10. Clause 2 having been passed, the Attorney-General moved that the Committee report progress, which was agreed to. Leave was given to sit again on M°nday- CHARITABLE AID.

Two bills for endowment to local hospitals ■were shelved npon the previous question. The Premier said the Government was pledged to introduce a measure nextsession, providing for hospitalsfand charitable insti tutions, but could not be bound by a resolu tion so vague. The Government would make ample provision for these purposes, but might not give satisfaction to the majority of the House. Posterity, however, would jud^e by results—that was the judgment upon which Government would rely. He could not pledge Government to carry out the resolution in its present shape, because they could not undertake to make provision for every hospital and charitable institution in the colony. The Government recognised the necessity of endowing hospitals in populous districts, but undue extension 01 the charitable system would pauperise people. He would pledge the Government to prepare a measure during the recess, dealing with hospitals and charitable insti tutions upon a national basis, m a manner ■which would do credit to the colony and form an example to other countries. AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES In reply to Mr Feldwick, the Minister of Works saki the Government had ordered Iveral en|ines.fro m America because they Ire proved to be more suitable for some parts of the colony than those previously in nSe' ' LAND TAX. In the Legislative Council, second reading of the Land Tax Bill was moved by Colonel Whitmore; and after a short discussion the debate was adjourned. J U JtUii'O. On the Juries Bill an amendment by Mr Swanson, striking out the exemption of Bank Managers, was lost. A new Clause was added by Mr Stout, rendering special jurors liable to serve on any-common jmy And it was further provided that neither rTartv shall be entitled to a special jury Sh yout the consent of the Court or the JudgethereYAKlOUS BILLS. Further progress was made with the Thames Harbour and other bills, and the House rose at 1.40 a.m.

COKOMANDEL, this day. Harbour View.—The manager reports that he is rising and stoping in the ordinary course. The reef at present is small, and no^gold is showing. He would recommend a cross-drive being put in to test the foot wall of the reef from the stope, to prove whether the lower reef has been passad un noticed. Captain Ninnis reports that the rise is bearing up 100 feet between Nos. 5 and 4 levels. The stopes are about the same height. He thinks it singular that no trace of gold has been found recently.

DUNEDIN, this day. Geld Stealing. A story of the disappearance of 130ozs. of gold is going the rounds. The gold \v< s the result of the washing-up in a claim in the vicinity of Kirkeburn, Cromwell, and not caring to have such wealth about his person or premises, the managing partner nightly stowed it away among the rocks, adjacent to a pig-sty, till a more convenient season. To his dismay, on going to his '' plant" sometime afterwards it had dis appeared, and no trace of it was to be found. After much vain searching the voracious porkers were slaughtered, with the hope that they might have become the innocent depository of the treasure; but the result was unsatisfactory, and the loss is still viewed as a mystery. BELLICOSE MAORIS. At the Waitaki County Council yesterday, Mr Duncan Sutherland brought under notice the existence of a state of affairs which he characterised as discreditable and humiliating in the extreme. A band of Maoris at Waitaki have, for some time past, been going about armed with tomahawks and loaded rifles, to the annoyance and danger of the white iuhabitants. When the natives first invaded the district, they behaved themselves m a tolerably decent manner, but lately have completely changed their tone for one of defiance; not only do their dogs continue to worry sheep, but the Maoris themselves openly yard them and kill them for their own use. One settler lately lost some twenty sheep in this way. If shepherds attempt to interfere the tomahawks are flourished in their faces, and their lives threatened. The latest act of the Invaders has been to plough up a portion of freehold laud. The Government has over and over again been communicated with on the matter, but nothing has resulted. It was resolved " That the Council respect fully request members tor the district in their places in Parliament to call the attention of the Government to the lawless proceedings of the Maoris in their county, especially at Otekaike and Oamaru, and as this state of things has existed some time the Council hopes that immediate action will be taken for the protection of life and property." The motion was carried unani mously.

CHURCH MEETING AT THE CHORAL HALL.

The annual Church of England gathering in the Choral Hall last night was unfortunate inresoect of the weather, as the rain fell in torrents about the time that persons were wending their way to the place ot meeting ; still a goodly number of persons ■were present. This meeting, held during; the sittings of the Synod, is of a socta musical, and intellectual character, for the pur pose of bringing ministers and people together in friendly communion, aad making useful sug gestions for the future good of churches and congregations. Dr. Covyie, Bishop of Auck land, presided, and in his opening re marks stated the primary objects of their gatherings. An excellent choir of voices assisted materially towards the pleasure of the evening, by singing a number of hymns and anthems specially selected for the occasion. Mr Vincent B. Rice, with his musical know ledge, conducted the choir. The speakers were respectively the Venerable Archdeacon Maunsell and Archdeacon Clarke. An elaborate and well-written paper on "The present con dition of Palestine" was delivered by Colonel Haultain. Dr Maunsell gave a succinct account of religious progress in the districts of the Waikato, interspersed with his own hair breadth escapes in other days from the Maoris. The doctor's reminiscences had touches of humour in them, and were original. Having reviewed the wars and struggles of the past, the speaker turned to the railway of the present, the homes of industry scattered over the face of the country, and the humanising influences at work for the advancement of Christianity and civilisation. He had faith in the operations of the present, and believed that the foundation, not only of a Christian church, but of a great and beneficent empire was being laid in this country. The Venerable Archdeacon <'larke followed with a diversified sketch of the history of the Archdeaconry of the Waimate district, and in the course of his remarks referred to incidents in the New Zealand career of Sir George Grey, who was nearly sacrificed to Maori ignorance, but was saved through the instrumentality of the speaker's father. He spoke in fesling terms of the labours of Mr Marsden, who landed in this country in ISM, and who was undoubtedly c 'titled to the appel'ation of the "Apo3tle of Christianity in this land." He concluded by referring to the genial and widening influence which native clergymen and native Christians were exercising, which must tend to beneficent results.— Bishop Cowie spoke of the proposed "Selwjn Memorial." which had been authorised by the Synod, and which would consist in founding a chaplaincy for ministering to tho inmates of the gaol, hos pital, lunatic asylum, and the Refuge or the aged and infirm. This work, however, would require the assistance of the public. He (Bishop Cowie), though- not a rich man, would contribute £5 a year as long as he occupied his position as Bishop of the diocese. He was pleased to inform the meetine that a member of the Synod had promised £100 a year in half yearly fifties. Subscription lists would also be opened [at the churches, so that all might have the opportunity of subscribing to an object which would meet with the approval of Bishop Selwyn himself—The paper by Col. Haultain was of a very pleasing nature, evidencing a close acquaintance with the scenes of what is usually termed the "Holy Land," being a sketch of Palestine at tha present time.—A collection was made towards the expenses of the hall, the surplus, if any, to be gives to the Mission Fund. —Votes of thank 3 were given to the chairman, choir, conductor, and speakers, and the meeting closed with the benediction.

In the year 1877 the Sydney Mint coined 1,590,000 sovereigns, and the Melbourne Mint 1,487,000_ sovereigns, and 80,006--hai& sovereigns. Since the opening of these two branches of _ the Royal Mint, .in 1555 and 1872 respectively, there have been coined in them 47,620,500 sovereigns, and 4,172,000 half-sovereigns. The Deputy Master of the Mint states in his report this year that the uniform accuracy of these coins, both as to weight and fineness, continues to be|well maintained.
