WELLINGTON, this day LAND TAX BILL

The House yesterday was in committee part of the afternoon and all night on the Land Tax Bill. There was a very long dis cussion on Clause 4, in which Mr Bryce said > he had been pained at the Premier's declara tion that the exemption of improvements was a vital principle of the Bill. He did not wish to assist to turn the Government out, and would therefore walkout and not vote. If Messrs Itees and De Latour inter preted the views of the Government in in viting members to subordinate their con scientious opinions to party interest, no man could support the Government and retain his seif-respect. Mr Ballance said the exemption^ of im provements was a principle of the bill, and the Government were not so fond of their Beats as to turn tail in committee. They believed the principle right, and would stand or fall by it. Mr Rolleston expressed astonishment at Mr Bryce's determination to walk out, when last session they turned out the late Government in order to show they were not the only set of men to form a Ministry. He characterised the bill as devoid of principle, but embodying the political "fads" of the Attorney-General. The House divided on Mr Wason's amendment to strike out the last four lines, which would have the effect of rendering improvements liable to taxation. Theamend ment was negativeed by 41 to 12. Ayes_, 41 : Baigent, Ballance, Barff, Barton, Bastings, Brandon, Brown, J. C. (Tuapeka) Carrington, De Latour, Dignan, Driver, Feldwick, Fisher, Fitzroy, George, Harnlin, Hislop, Hobbs, Hursthouse, Johnston, Joyce, Kenny, Macandrew, McMiun, Montgomery, Moss, Murray, Nahe, Ormond, Rees, Saunders, Stout, Taiaroa.

A DIG FOR MR GISBORNE. During the course of the discussion Mr Gisborne received a dig from Mr Rolleston. Mr Gisborne remarked "having stated my convictions I shall vote for them," where upon Mr Rolleston remarked "if you hadn t stated your couvictions you wouldn't have voted for them." VALUE OF LAND. On the suggestion of Mr Savmders, Mr Ballance consented to strike out Clauses 2 and 3, Section 4, making primary jvalue of land in counties £1, and boroughs;£so per • acre. On Clause 4Mr Stevens said a pas toral tenant might suffer by being deprived of a run shortly after he had paid the tax. Mr Ballance promised an amendment to meet the case. nn -r^c LIABILITY OF LANDLORDS. Clause 4 passed. On Clause 5Mr Saun ders suggested an amendment apportioning the tax betweenlesseesandlandlords,either being allowed to recover from the other. Mr Ballance promised to consider the pro posal on the re-committal of the bill. Clause 5 passed. NATIVES. On clause six, Mr Fitzroy condemned the exemption of Natives. He thought they had too many concessions already.— Mr Wakefield, amidst much laughter, said the main reason for the exemption of ■ Maoris from the land tax was that no power on earth could collect it. Two ; solitary strangers in the gallery startled hpn. mem bers by buwling out " hear hear," but this was promptly suppressed by a man in blue, who pouueed out from a recess at the back. The strangers subsided, with a guilt-stricken expression of countenance. • •■ Mr Montgomery moved the postponement of the clause. Mr Sheehan said 20,000,000 acres were in the hands of natives of the, North Island. If taxed they would never be put through the Court. . , Mr Murray made another desperate attempt to delay the clause. He said this was a policy of confiscation. The Go vernment would have half the . land in the colony falling into their hands, by non-payment of taxes. They would then be able to sell it over again at a profit. He thought it was like that lucky speculation of Joseph's in Egypt. First, all the corn; next, the money; then, the land; and lastly, all the people. The motion for the postponement ot tne clause was-neeatived on the voices. Mr Murray, amidst cries of "Oh," divided the House :— Ayes, 9 ; noes, 27. Time, * Mr Fitzroy immediately moved to report progress, which was negatived on the voices. Mr Fitzroy called for a division, amidst a chorus oi yawns and agonised "Oh s,; wrung from slumbrous members disturbed from recumbent attitudes:--Aye.?, 7; noes, 27. Mr Murray moved the exemption of Maori land held under Crown grant.—Mr Stout acquiesced.—Mr Wakefield thought this carrying philo-Maori proclivities a little too far, and was instancing the case ot a Maori buying land from a European hold ing it under a Crown Grant; when Mr Sheehan stumped him with- the remark that "They sold in Canterbury at a penny an acre, but now they'll have to pay two pounds." This statement of the un wearied inclement" so startled Mr Wake field that he stood in an attitude of medita tion.—Mr Murray next talked for hve minutes against his own motion ; which ..caused Mr Wakefield to awake from his abstraction, and remark in a sad tone, "I m getting fogged."—Mr Johnson wanted to e>lide in an amendment precluding exempted Maoris from voting, but was ruled out of order. —Mr Murray ultimately withdrew his amendment. Clause 6 was amended as follows anc passed : "No land owned aud occupied by ,: jj [: /aboriginal! natives shall be liable •to laud tax, but if such land has been leased to any ■r person or is occupied by any person other ' :* ' than the: original owner, the tenant shall for the purposes of this Act be deemed to be the owner thereof and shall be liable', to laud tax accordingly." In clause 7 the! follow ing i additional exemptions of sites of University Schools andfColleges, incorpor ated under-Act or ordinance, .offices used tI'JTtX : ; on ly as -a. place of meeting by Municipal .Jiajfi'andV-County Councils, River and Harbour ::•:-_——Board- sites, ■ and charitable institutions. -•^During'ithe discussion Mr Rees/Yho had :l :;■' ,.

some, which ey_©kedL.from Mr. Seym£BL George a deprecatoiyr"O]tl 7Rees; Mr Wakefield wanted to exempt cqn-, vents, which Mr Stout said was included in the term " schools." Mr Wakefield : "No." Mr Stout : " Well, then, its a dwelling; you might as well exempt dwellings of doctors and lawyers." Mr Rees • I thiuk we ought to exempt lawyers. I , Mr Montgomery thought sites us.ea by Agricultural Societies should be exempt. j Mr Hamlin said that would include race ! courses. :, Mr Barff sternly deprecated the con versational character of the debate, but was laughed dewu. Public gardens, domains, and recreation grounds were exempted. Clauses to twelve inclusive were pa-sed. At clause thirteen, Mr Mursay having had rest up to fifteen minutes past two, tried to make another speech, but had got as far as " There's a borough at Hamilton," when Mr Stout bowled him out with, "and there's a borough in Otago." Clauses thirteen and fourteen passed. On clause fifteen, Mr Wakefield objected to oaths, Avr-ereupon Mr Wlntaker said he had taken it twenty or thirty times, aud never felt any the worse for it.

The time was now twenty minutes past two. For another twenty minutes the House galloped through 45 clauses with about 27 members present. On clause 54, Mr Stout explained that where a tax was in arrear three months property could only be sold under the Hating Act after another fifteen months had elapsed. THE BILL FINISHED.

At forty past two the Committee got through the bill. Then Mr Dignan got up and wanted to tackle postponed clauses, but progress was reported, and the bill ordered to be re-committed ou Monday, and the House rose. Some rushed for home, while others 'executed a ,pas de seul on the floor of the House; and Mr Swonson, with much dignity, mounted the Speakers chair, and proposed a screw for himself amidst roars of laughter, in which the same two solitary strangers joined. And this is legislation. THE QUEEN'S ASSENT TO COLONIAL BILLS. Colonel Whitmore stated in the Council yesterday that the Royal assent was not given to the Shipping A ctjand the Domiciles Act, as the Solicitor-General's Act did not accompany the message from the Governor, but he stated the Queen was not advised by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach to grant the prayer of the petition against the Education Act. RATING ACT. The Rating Act was amended by the Council, so that the Board of the Road Dis trict is to make up a new toll from the valu ation roll. Ratepayers aggrieved by a separate rate may, within two months, ap peal to the Assessment Court on the gronnd that property will not be benefited, or the property of another ratepaypartialiy omitted, and the Assessment Court is to divide them. In the Fencing Bill, disputes respecting the erection, maintenance, and repair of fences are to be referred to the Inspector, with a further appeal to the Resident Magis trate. MR FOX FLAYED ALIVE. The "Chronicle" yesterday put out a large poster, with the words "The 'Chronicle' Flays Fox Alive;" and last night contained an article branding Mr Fox as "a cowardly libeller andliterary assassin," in connection' with his recent letters to the "Rangitikei Advocate." The Legislative Council was extremely crowded. Some were accommodated, with chairs. Jumping claims was frequent. THE MAORI IN THE ASCENDANT. The "Times" to-day says that the best thing a capitalist can do is to buy a Maori dictionary and a bottle of walnut juice. He will command the situation if he will meet every taxpayer with a Maori greeting "Tenakoe," no matter how ironical it may be. _________ ______

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.— PUBLIC DEBATE.

The Temperance Hall was literally crammed last night to hear the announced debate on the pecuniary aspect of the liquor traffic, between three members of the Total Abstinence Society j and three members of St. James Mutual Im provement Association. The Rev. Mr Webb j laid they had met to hold a friendly discussion, arid he trusted that each speaker would reoei'e an impartial hearing. ,He then called on the Rev. S. .X dger, 8.A., to open the debate. ■ > The Rev. MrEdger, on rising, waa received , with enters. He understood the ooject of the discußsion was to enable each to form an intelli- i eene cop i nion, or conviction, on wh at was allowed to be the greatest question of the age. Allowing this to be assumed he hoped the amplest lustioe would be given to all facts and arguments adduced by either Bide. Pecuniariiytthey were , asked to discuss the liquor traffic, and the debate was to rest on financial grounds. He would , ent*r a mild protest that hia Bide would, never so put the .question, because., the question of temperance occupied to much higher social, political, and religious a posi tion ; but when they wer» j challenged to discuss on financial grounds, they were quite satisfied that, put the question in any form. Sis side would come out right. (Cheers.) As opener he would put the subiect laoomcaUy and plainly. His colleagues would perhaps, go more specifically into the details. In discussing the question financially he had three lines, of argument. Ist. Is each individual in thenation better or worse off through taking mtoxicat.ng drink % He had a dim notion that a nation was made up of individual icheers), ..that a nation was collectively a nation of individuals, and hie contemporaries had, no doubt, .some new logical or mathematical reasons upon which to base their arguments. Each individual drank so much! Had hei anythingto shov^ for it? Was he not so much poorer \ Did a man get strength, energy, mental capacity out of it i because clearly he could get nothing else. II they got increased working power- they would have something to .show . for it. Mr Edger drew a graphic sketch of the effects of exposure in bitterly cold regions, showing that those suffered least who aid not touch a. drop and that in the torrid zone those suffered moßt who drank intoxicating liquors ; medical men all giving solemn attestation to the fact that ordinary men are better by never Couching liquor. The men who don't drink dont die so soon as expected, while the men who drink die sooner than expected. If a man drinks so much in the ypar, he throws just so much money away. Statistics proved the average silm spent per head to be £4 7s. Such a rate worked out would show that national total absti nence would make. every familyJn twenty yearV better off by about £1,000. (Cheers and dissent.) He could substantiate this. In entering business, did it make no difference if a man had clear intelligence or livelrbusmees capacity ? He quoted the Queen's physician to show that it was a popular fallacy to suppose that drink improved man mentally, i That it gave man more thoughts imight be true ; but they were not good thoughts. Every atom pf alcohol taken w»b shewn on thie testimony U> iniure the tissue of the brain, lowering! the capacity and deteriorating the thinking and mental powers of ;the man, consequently every thin" that he has is deteriorated in value, because he cannot make so a good use of it. (Cheers). If individuals were thus injured the whole nation suffered—unless it were contended that as the man or -woman lost on each article sold but made up for the quantity disposed of. so the quantity of individuals nmae up for individual loss - that though losing on each individual, the nation gained in consequence of the large business done. (Loud applause). Perhaps his friends on the. other side would argue on that principle. He took the nation as a whole. Wealth was caused by a surplus of production over consumption. Every national let would impoverish or enrich. If a national a"ct involved more production than consumption it would enrich, or vice versa. If intoxicating <irinks imparted intelligence and . vigour, thpn it gave more working power., which is equivalent to wealth. In_ deal ingwith the nation they could not be met wfth-the suttt>ftoge of "the. peculiar consti- Sn of an individual requiring drink." We consume say. a million pounds' worth of alcho noKrmks per j ear, an& drinkit all; does that leave us richer or poorer? Might not a million pound^worth of BO mething ( else have been pro- Suced with ouch energy not so uselessly oonsum-. able. In reply to the return trade from |dnnk comes in the old argument of the ,ainounl^,of he about a million and a quarter expended in drink: for which nothing was got. The money was all dS. In 10 yeW such money Nyould uTv off the .national debt, or build railroads., Air Edkei-made special allusions to the effort of France in paying off the war indemnity,' to,sb.ow wMt individual self-denial of luxuries do ttfaU-the ramffloationa; of wa.3 perfectly; stountied. to. tnisK .ar^a.'rooi/e.i

Kwington (St. Jaine 3 '), replied in, clear sparkling language, showing perfect Sainten^ith.the subiect, and being armed 3t formidable array of statistics, which were however interesting. Space precludes as full a repMtlawe should like to afford. Mr Ewington topiyed great skill in his reply, and met with continued applause as he proceeded.-His figures totat'ed up showed ,the gross honor traffic reoeipts-for the year ending July, 1877, to. be £525 022, »gainbt which he would allow a pro- Dortiou of charges for asylums, institutions,, law coucts?&c. to be made the proportion charge. S ' theiiauor traffic, .amounting to £220,441,. ou of a gvZ total of '£405,519, leaving-a-nett profit to the Colonial Tiea-urey of £299,581. Fcheersl Mr Ewington argued that the money IH#I#S sSswa tssss. nilnrfiniz to the immense amount or labour createTby luxuries, he humorously showed how remarking that in some paits of Scotland men Sot thtak it necessary to wear trousers." To «howthe «eat respect Uovernnient; hadfor the revenue from the liquor traffic. Mr Ewington Xciedto Z closing and the giving compen^ tr, n inrnl distillery, which was uguiing tne c^sfom's receipts? 7 He concluded amid loud '.followed, aud was received with applause. He said the 9*« ttonwM a two-fold, one First the gain or loas to the Government , and secondly, -the nta or loss to the cnlonr Ke would admit that the Colonial Treasury realised abont £500,000 annually by the trade in drink, but * largo portion of that wus lost aeain, well-uuthenticated opinions having shewn that 75 par cent of th» cases of poverty, disease, lunacy, crime, police, and law courts in the colony was due to drink ; therefore over £200.000 must be deducted on that account. •? here were of thefse classes about 25,000, and as the volue of each individual as a taxable article was about £15 ptr annum, these persons oainir non-coaßumerß. like ordinary citizen*, to tne exteat of 33 per cent, theloastothe Ireasury was at the mte of £5 per head : at least £75,000 per year. He further estimate* tnot about -1.000 lives are sacrifice.* yearly, throuKh drink, representing another £10,000 loet to the Treasury. There was another theory of loss which he, the sneaker, had conceived, rashly perhaps, but he would submit with confidence his date to the audience. Ine Blue Book shewed that the coat of liquors mi ported w«f about £626,000, besides over £88,000 for imported be<'r. Taking £2 per head as_ the cost of the article, as imported, he went into figures to shew that since 1837 the colony had exported for drink £14,558,000. The cumulative interest paid on loan accounts since 1856 was, actual cash exported, £9,325,000. or at 5 per cent compound, at least £24,636.000. This sum repre sented an abstraction from colonial capital account of about £31,000,000, to recoup which we had borrowed übout £27,000,000, which still remained as a permanent charge. And this charge now amounted to £1,225.000, a great drain upon the Financial Secretary for interest. If capital had been exported to such extent, it was clear the borrowing had been an inevitable con sequence, and the liability for interest, with the costs previously referred to, including a total of at least £1,500,000, was the yearly debit against the £500,000 gained from drink. Mr Brame also referred to items of colonial loss as distinguished from Treasury loss', and was attentively listened to throughout, with occasional approval and dis sent. Mr W. J. Napier (St. James') made a vigorous address in the affirmative, bringing forward a series of quotations to prove that the liquor traffic »>ea great basis of national wealth, and that drunkenness was not necessarily an accessory to crime. Mr Napier was happy m (striking sympathetic chords, and kept the audience in a good humour. Ho intimated his belief that, indirectly, the success of Lord Beaconsfield'H negotiationa was traceable to English wealth, which flowed mainly from the liquor traffic, and contended that the success of the South Se* trade was positively due to the profitable barter oarried on with Holland s gin. He quoted from "Law and Liquor," to prove that in English counties wherein crime was most rampant, there was less drunkenneso, while in other counties where there were far more criminal convictions there was less drunkenness. Mr Napier challenged Mr Edger to show how a large bulk of civilised comm unities would exist, if luxuries were dispensed with. He could not regard a man as a national producer because he planted sixpeDny-worth of turnip seed. He regarded all things as having their uses and a place in society. In a locomotive there was a boiler for evolving steam, every crank and shaft hud its appointed place, and it was so with necessaries and luxuries. Mr Napier concluded amid a storm of applause. The discussion is adiourned until Tuesday next.

BAKER AND FARRON.

These popular players were greeted by an immense audience List evening in the Theatre noyal.and produced with, their associates, for the fourth time, the lively, changeable, anrt langhter-provoking drama of "Lisa iiccles. We hare had occasions of speaking of the pleasant peculiarities of this drama.and need not repeat approval of the same. The people are the best judges as to their needs, and from the well filled houses, shouts of laughter, and frequent outbursts of gladness, " Lisa Bocles" is exactly the drama for the people. The drollery, fan, phases of character, dances, songs, and every thing in happy combination, answer admirably. Still the litte army of volunteers ia one of the the most attractive of the scenes, and is always anticipated with pleasure. The songs also meet with the same favourable reception, where ballads of higher merit would fail in winning sympathy. To-night " lisa ttccles" will be pro duced for the last time in the city, and on Mon dayMeeBr3BAKmAVDFARRON will give their farewell entertainment, when a splendid double bill will be presented to every visitor, also a photograph of the chief actors, Messrs Baker and Fawon. who will leave on Tuesday next by the s.s. Rotorua.

After the lire has drawn up, Coke may be added in small lumps (not in large masses), either alone or mixed with Coal A fire made in this way is better for not being stirred, so long as there is space between the fragments of fuel for a free current of air. The value of COKE as a fuel and as a means of economy of Coal is hardly appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of Coal and Cokeis invaluable Eorthe ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking, as it absorbs the s.nioke or iur flammable gases given oft" by Coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer,'cind hotter, than it can be made foy any other means.—[Advt.] " ■- Visitors and strangers to Parnell from the suburbs of Auckland are quite astonished to see such a Large and Well-ascorted Drapery Establishment as F.
