perhaps the clause suggested by Mr Montgomery might not hi the best possible means of doing this. Mr Sheehan said that by the time the land was sold the na'-ivos would get an ac count foi deficiency instead of a cheque. To his mind the Government pnrchase was the only safe system. This Bill said that should not be. The Bill said the land was to ba brought under the operation of the Board. Not a single Maori of influence would bring an acre under the Bill. The expenses would be such that instead of auything being left, the balance would bo against the Maori. There were three systems open: the first was of Government purchase, making re serves ; second, to go back to the pre emptive rights. Both these were impos sible. The third was the course of direct purchase by Government, either of a whole block,orpart,at a fair price,orallo wins Euro peans to buy, and compelling them to open a certain portion for sale in small lots. Ho in tended to do liia best to make the Bill volun tary and permissive, and would vote for Sir George Grey's clauses for appointment of trustees,_ but even then he would be carefulif they made trustees to have them tied down. Every purchase meant extension of order. No doubt next year the natives would have to pay the rates which the Government proposed for them this year, and when that became the case the Maories would soon part with their land. The Bill as it stood would prove a failure.

Mr Speight qnotod from a speech of Mr Sheehan to the North New Zealand Associ ation to show the inconsistency between his present views aud those advocated by him less than a year ago. For himself, he sup ported the Bill. BJMr Reader Wood's amendment wa3 negatived, and the House went iuto com mittee on the Bill.

Clause 1 was agreed to, after which pro gress was reported, and the House rose fit 12 35.

FEARFUL TRAGEDY.

A fearful tragedy occurred last night at the Kyeburn diggings. Mrs Young, a highly respected elderly widow, living alone in a hut, with Chinese miner 3in prox imity, was found brutally maltreated, and died this aftoruoon. She was conscious for a few mioutos. There is great excitement throughout the district. Robbery appears to have been the motive, as the contents of deceased's purse were taken, together with a cheque. The house had been broken into. The murder had apparently been committed with stones, two of whic'a were found insido marked with blood.; The murdered woman was in good circumstances and universally respected. ..'

She then run for Tokoto, where she anchored for shelter. She left ngain, and when off Kawau the roaster finding that she would not weather the island, tried to put her abont, but she missed stays three times, and consequently got into the trough of the sea. Ultimately Bhe went ashore and broke up instantly. With the exception of a few trifles every thing was lost, but the two hands got off all right. One passenger that was on board was severely knocked about with the rocks. They made their way over the hills carrying and dragging the passenger along, who was unable to walk.

THE GRAFTON ROAD LIGHTING RATE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Two letters have appeared in your paper lately on the above subject; one from an opponent of the rate, and ono from Mr G. Aickin. As an opposer to the rate myself, and as the mouthpiece of many other dissentients, I would wish to say a fow words on the subject, explanatory of our opposition. I. We objected to pay 3d lighting rate in addition to the 9d highway rate, as there are so many more urgent and useful things required in the district, and therefore we consider the time has not yet arrived for luxuries. 2. We consider that gas lamps half-a-mile or more apart, are much moro a hindrance than a help to nocturnal locomotion, as the gleam in the eyes prevents one seeing the stones, puddles, ditches, aud other innumerable pitfalls of that kind, with which the district abounds ; things that could, otherwise be easily seen even in a dark night. 3. We are mostly a quiet stay-at-home people, and seldom go out at nights, and therefore consider that it is preferable to spend the 3d extra rate on works that would benefit us by day. 4. The gas mains are already laid in all our principal streets; so if we wish for gas in our houses, we can, at any time, lay_ it on ■without paying rates for use less outsi&c lamps. I would also wish to point out that Mr Aickin's remarks re Pon sonby progressiveness are incorrect. Pon sonby progresses, not because she has gas lamps, but because she has an unlimited amount of good and comparatively level building land—cheap land too. The Graftpn Koad is a narrow ridge without any side streets, and a great part of the dis trict is takea up with cemeteries, reserves, gullies, and Corporation property, and therefore building room is almost nil, except in one or two places, where land may be had at a fancy price. I would also ask Mr Aickin if He does not think that the £120 a year, proposed to be thrown away on gas, would be much better spent in forming footpaths on the top part of the Graf ton Koad, and in constructing crossings, espe cially at the corner of Kyber Pass and Symonds-street, where a continuous stream of unfortunate pedestrians are occupied in kickiDg through deep dust in summer, or wading through deep slush in winter all day; or else in asphalting, for the comfort of ratepayers, the footpaths of a district that is in a chronic state of eruption with rough scoria ash, in every direction, all the year round. Mr Aickin'a assumption that the writer of the lirst letter is a new chum in the district is also incorrect. I happen to know him personally, and I assure Mr A that he is one of the oldest residents aud largest property-owners in the district.—l am, &c, A Dissentient.

THE FAMINE IN ASIATIC TURKEY.

Deplorable Scenes,

IN a private letter, Mr Tristam Elhs gives an appalling account of the scenes of famine which he has just witnessed in the course of a journey from Diarbekir to Bagdad. Writing from the latter city to a friend in London, he says:—"From Diarbekir I floated down on a raft, called a kelek, made of a framework of wood, supported on in flated goat skins, and covered with twigs of trees. I had a little hat built ou it for protection against the weather — a very necessary precaution, as it

froze every night, and rained, and hailed, and snowed often for the first week, when the river passes through clefts in the mountains of Botfiu. My kelek caused great excitemont, from its being the first that had come down the river for some weeks, and the poor people were starving for want of grain that generally comes down the rivsr from the great corn-producing country round Diarbukir. No kelek had come down, for those that had been sent befora had all been intercepted and robbed, and several of the people killed,by a band oE Koords that Infested the river in its most rugged and. dangerous part. Their usual plan was to call out to the raftsmen to stop, and if they did not, shoot at the skins, which, caused the raft to sink very rapidly if they did not pull up to land at once. In fact, a large quantity of valuable wheat was lost in this way, as the river flows so rapidly in some parts as to render stopping v "difficult and dangerous operation. The scenery in some places is magnificent, and there is one town, called Hassen Kett'e, the like of which I have never seen before. It is almost entirely burrowed out of the rock, the precipices of which are honeycombed with passages, staircases, and chambers. Several thousand people live thus, and always have from the time that " the memory of man runneth not to the con trary." No one knows its age, but some of it is very old indeed, and there are the ruins of the largest pointed arched bridge I have ever seen, that crosses from this rocky stronghold to the plains on the other side of the river, where are the gardens and fields for the support of the inhabitants. As Mosul I found the famine worse than ever. .People were continually dying in the streets, and mothers selling their children for slaves, or even worse purposes. It was very common to see men and children, a mere heap of bones, lying naked in the street, covered with the flies they were too weak to brush away. And, worse of all, little dying children were hired by professional beggars for the purpose of exciting charity, and were exhi bited naked in the bazaars. I found one poor little baby, about four years old, quite dead, and the woman who was begging for something to give it was not aware that it was so ! Bread, upon which the people usually live, and which is worth generally about id per pound, was then selling for more than a shilling. The people would have died wholesale had .it not been for the root of a sort of thistle that the spring weather had caused to come up, and that is very edible, and of course can be got for the trouble of collection. The ground foi1 miles round the town was all dug up by the people for this root, and while they dug one saw them eating the grass and weeds round about as well. I don't think I ever saw so many thin people at once in all my life before. A contrast to them were the rich mufti and kadi of the town, who were as fat and round about as usual, and did nothing to relieve the distress around. In fact, most of them had large stores of grain themselves that they were keeping back till the price should become still higher. The Govern ment had ordered the stores of private in dividuals to be opened, and the grain sold by auction ; but, as the principal stores were all held by Government officials, only some small stores belonging to people who had put by enough to get themselves and families through the famine were opened. These people were therefore reduced to beggary, and the famine scarcely relieved. The show of crops was very good, but no rain had fallen for some time in that district (rather a contrast to what 1 had just been passing through), and great fears were entertained of another failure of crops this year; so prices were still going up and up. One day even bread was quoted at a price equal to 2s. a pound, but two days with, rain just at the right time caused the price to fall to 6d. in one day, showing that the storeholders had got frightened, and put a lot into the market at once. I, of course, visited Nimroud, where excava tions are still being carried on. There was very little to see, as the earth of the new excavation is thrown into the old openings, all the good sculptures having been removed to the British Museum.

'Tis Sixty Years Since.

The " Globe " of Monday has a moat in. teresting aiticle under the above title, from which we make the following ex tracts : —

The celebration on Saturday of Her Majesty's birthday may justly be regarded as a milestone in our national life, a con. vcnient halting-place from which we may look back and take stock of our progress. On Saturday, in an especial manner and with special emphasis, the morning drum beat, "following the sun and keeping com pany with the hours, encircled the earth with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England." When, in 1841, " Waverley ; or "fis Sixty Years Since," appeared, and startled the reading world, it was found that the time repre sented and reproduced by the magic pen of the great unknown novelist was sufficiently remote in character and iucident to be ro mantic to his generation, and to interest a greater number of people than had ever before been interested in a work of fiction. The difference in the condition of the world between 1814 and 1754 is, however, as nothiug when compared with that betweeu 1880 and 1820. Between these dates there is immeasurable distance. The six intervening decades have, indeed, witnessed greater changes than any six centuries of our era. It is only neces sary to mention a few to show the vast gulf betweeu the lirst birthday of our Sovereign Lady and that which was celebrated on on Saturday. In 1820 Napoleon was still alive in St. Helena, and Louis XVII. was King of France; Alexander I. was Autocrat of All the Itussias. There was no king dom of Greece; no kingdom of Belgium. But there was a kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In Germany there were more than thirty reigniug princes, and in Italy several; while the Pope was still a temporal sovereign. Among the eminent immortals then living were the poets (Joleridge, Wordsworth, Scott, Byron, Moore, Campbell, Shelly, and Keats ; the musical composers Beethoven and Weber; the actors Kean, Kemble, Siddons, and Talma; aud the sculptors Flaxmau and Canoya Goethe aud Jean Paul Kichter were still Jiving in Germany, aud Kotzebua died only the previous year. When Her Majesty's lir9t birthday was kept the population of Great Britain did not exceed fourteen millions. The two great colonies of South AustraliaandNewZealandhad no existence. The one, founded in 1836, has now a thriv ing population of over 250,000, and the other, first colonised in 1839, a population of over 420,000. That the material, moral, and legal condition ot the people at home and in the colonies has been ameliorated in the interval will be manifest from an enumeration of some of the most notable changes that have been eit'ected since that event.

It 1820 slavery was at its height in tho British colonies. So long ago as 1772, in a suit in the King's Bench, in the case of the slave, Somerset, it was established that slavery could not exist in Great Britain. Bat it was not till 1833 that the Act for tho abolitiou of slavery in the colonies, and the compensation of persons entitled to the services of such slaves was passed. In 1820, coiuiug, forgery, arson, and horse-stealing were punishable with death. So late as 1827, Edward Lowe, a coiner, was drawn to the scaffold on a hurdle; and it was only in 1829 that Thomas Maynard completed the catalogue of those who were executed for forgery.

There were no railways, tho Stockton and Darlington Railway, i constructed by Ste pheuson and Pease, not having been opened till 1825 ; and the Liverpool and Manches ter Kailwuy, at the opening of which Mr Hnskiason was killed, not till 1830. Only the year before the iirat steamer, the Savan nah, crossed the Atlautic. Gas had not yet beeu supplied to all London, and some of the most important provincial towns were lighted with flickering oil-lamps. The London police did not commence duty till 1829. The first omnibus run in London started from Puddington to the Bank of Eugland on Saturday, 4th July, 1529. "Sixty years since" nobody would have dreamed that in the lifetime of any then living one would be able to hold immediate communication with another at the end of the earth, and receive an answer in a moment. In that year Apdre had invented his telegraphic arrangement, employing the magnetic needle and coil, and the galvanic battery ; but it was not till 1838-9 that Mr Cooke set up a telegraphic line on the Great Western Railway from Paddington to West Drayton. It was only iv 1824 that M. Daguerre commenced those curious experi ments which resulted in the wonderful art of photography, which has not yet reached the limits of its power.

After alluding to the progress shown in the manufacture of steel pens, as also pins, as instances of cheap production, the writer refers to the remission of taxes on tea, sugar and salt, and the restrictions which then existed on the importation of foreign corn. The writer, in remarking on the state of literature at that period, says :—" There was no literature for the people, and news papers were so taxed that only the rich could procure them; even had they beeu reduced in price to whot they now are the vast majority would have been unable to benefit from them as they were unable to read." After reference to other social changes, the article concludes : — There are sigas that changes of even greater magnitude, political and scientific, are close approaching. It seems aa if Science is about to grasp the secrets of Nature, and to be able to utilise her forces at will. It is probable that progress for the next 60 years will be much more rapid than during the past. In one direction, however, there is no indication of anew departure. Loyalty to the throne does not abate, but has immeasurably increased and deepened since the accession of our Sov ereign Lady. In 1820 high treason was not an unknown crime, and in May of that year five men were executed as traitors for what was known as the Cato-struet conspiracy. Iv this May of 1880 hundreds of millions of people of all races, forming a Power which, to use again the words of the American Webster, r< has dotted over the surface of the whole globe her possessions and military posts," look with reverential affection to Queeu Victoria.

FOOD FOR THE BEARS.

(From the " St. Louis Times.")

Thk other day a lady, accompanied by her son, a very small boy, boarded a train at Little Rock. The woman had a careworn expression hanging over her face like a tattered veil, and many of the rapid questions asked by the boy were answered by unconscious sighs. "Ma," said;the boy, " that man's like a baby, aint he?" pointing to a bald-headed man sitting just in front of them. " Hush!" " Why must 1 hush !" After a few moments' silence: " Ma, what's the matter with that man's head ?'' " Hush, I tell you. Ho's bald." " What's bald ?" "His head hasn't got any hair on it." "Did it come off?" 111 guess so." " Will mine come off?" "Yes." " Then I'll be bald, won't I ?" ••Yes." " Will you care V "Don't ask so many questions." After another silence the boy 'exclaimed : ■' Ma, look at that fly on that man's head." "If you don't hush I'll whip you when we get home." " Look I There's another fly. Look at 'em light—look at 'em." " Madam," said the man, putting aside a newspaper and looking around, " what'a the matter with that young hyena?" The woman blushed, stammered out something, and attempted to smooth back the boy's hair. " One fly, two flies, three flies," said the boy, innocently, following with his eyes a basket of oranges carried by the newsboy. " Here, you young hedgehog," said the bald-headed man, "if you don't hush I'll have the conductor put you off the train." The poor woman, not knowing what else to do, boxed the boys ears, and then gave him an orange to keep him from crying. " Ma, have I got red marks on my head?"

" I'll slap yon again if you don t hush." " Mister, ""said the boy, " does it hurt to be bald-headed ?" " Youngster," said the man, "if you'll keep quiet I'll give you a quarter." The boy promised and the money was paid over. The man took up his paper and resumed his reading. " This is my bald-headed money," said the boy. " When I get bald-headed lam going to give boys money. Mister, have all bald-headed men got money ?" The annoyed man threw down his paper, arose, and exclaimed : " Madam, hereafter when you travel leave that young gorilla at home. Hitherto I always thought that the old prophet was very cruel for calling the she Dears to kill children for making sport of his head, but now lam forced to believe that he did a Christian act. If your boy had been in tUe crowd he would have died first. If I can't find another seat on this train I'll ride on the cow-catcher rather than remain in hers."

" The bald-headed man is gone," said the boy.and the woman leaned back and blew a tired sigh from her lips.

In the following cases, judgment went for the plaintilis by default:—A Linabury and Co. v. Jules G. Wilson, £11 16s 7d, for goods supplied (Mr Coleman appeared for the plaintiff); Jas. Stewart v. Wrn. Hewitt, £23 11s 3d, on a promissory note (MrLaish loy for plaintiff); Somcrfield and Leek v. Thos. Russell, £214s lid, for goods. JUDOMKNTS CONFESSED. Win. Beaumont v. Chas.

Mr Earl confessed judgment on behalf of the defendant, and judgment was according, ingly given. John Buchanan v. William Grosse ; claim, £9 5s 3d; Mr Theo. Cooper for plaintiff. The defendant admitted the debt, and was allowed by the plaintiif three months in which to pay it. NONSUITS. John Keenan v. Maria Cornwall; claim, 10s for wages. The plaintiif sued by his solicitor (Mr Brock) for was;e» due his daughter, who had been employed as ser vant girl by the defendant. As it appeared that the defendant had since got married, Mr Brock elected to accept a nonsuit. Jas. McConnick v. Wm. Vereker-Bindou; claim, £27 10s, wagei, &c.; Mr Theo, Cooper for the plaintiff, and Mr Tyler for the defendant. Mr Cooper announced his readiness to take a nonsuit with two guineas costs for the defendant. He said that the action would probably be brought in another form in the District Court. defended cases. Janet Mary Grog an v. Edward and ANN LaWLOß.—Claiai, £28 8s 3d for de tinue—Mr Tyler appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Laishley for the defendant, Ann Lawlor.—Mr Tyler, m opening the case, explained that the plaintiff sued the defen dants for the detention of a number of articles, for their return or their value, and the sum of £5 as damages for their deten tion. The plaintiff sued in the name of Janet Mary Grogan, as a person who went through the form of marriage some time ago with a man named Edward Lawrence, who afterwards turned out to be Edward Lawlor, and the husband of Ann Lawlor. This man was arrested, charged with .bigamy, and ultimately convicted. Some time before his conviction, however, and even before his arrest, the plaintiff left his house and rented one in j^felson-atreet, whither she removed such articles as were her own personal property, and such as Edward Lawlor had given her. Ann Law lor came to this house during the plaintiff's absence, broke it open, aud removed the articles which it was sought to recover.— Mr Laishley said that he was prepared to admit that his client took away certain things. He submitted, however, that the plaintiff had no right to sue, inasmuch as she was a married woman—having gone through the form of marriage with Edward Lawlor. True, he had been convicted and sentenced for bigamy in marrying the plain tiff, but that fact did not make the marriage void, though it justified the plaintiff in going before an Ecclesiastical or Divorce Court, and applying for a nullity of mar riage in consequence of his act.—-His Wor ship :—lt ia shewn clearly that the plaintiff was not married at all. Mr Laiahley contendsd that the marriage was still in force, and would be until declared null and void by the proper Court. He quoted the case of Lewis v. Lee, from Roscoe, aud then submitted that the plaiu tiffwasa "femnio couverte."—His Worship: If that were so, the law would sanction bigamy. That is clearly wrong. The bigamous marriage is no marriage, other wise the man would have two wives.— After some further argument, it was agreed to proceed with the examination of witnesses. —Janet Mary Grogan deposed that some two or three years ago she went through tho form of marriage with Edward Lawlor, aud that from that time till the period of his arrest she lived with him. Five days prior to his arrest, which took place about the Ist of July,she rented a house in her own name from Mr Wilson, and removed thither. The articles contained ia tho particulars of demand were in that house at the time she was living in it. On the morning of the 3rd of July she proceeded to the Police Court to witness the trial of Lawlor, aud on returning home in tho afternoon she per ceived that one of the window panes was broken. While she was unlocking the door the defendant came on to the veran dah, pushed her asido, slapped her on the face, and called her most abusive name?, besides stating that the things contained in the house were her husband's, and that witness should not come there again. Witness went into the shop of Mr Wilson, aud on going out subsequently she took her shawl from one of defendant's children, who wa3 carrying it away. On Sunday night she looked through the windows of the house and sa\y that the children were in bed, while the majority of the household goods were there also. On Monday she saw the defendant aud her children engaged in re moving the things from the house, but she did not speak to them. After they left she went into the house with Mr Marshall, Mr Wilson, and Miss Wilson, when they found what few articles remained strewn about tiie floor in a disgraceful manner. The articles enumerated in the particulars of demand—principally ar'iclcs of dress—were missing. Some of them had been given lur by Mr Lawlor and others, and were her own personal property. The-police stood by while the defendaut smashed the window-pane already referred to, while she herself applied no less than six times at the police-station for assistance. She demanded the return.of the goods from the defendant, but sho refused to give them. —Chas. McCartney, a boy of about 12 years, stated that he saw the defendaut breaking into the house of the plaintiff. Sho was accompanied by two policemen, who stood by while the defendant broke the window with an axe. The policemen then went away, after having been assured by Mrs Lawior (then m the house), that sho was "nowallright." The witness corroborated Miss Grogan's evidence re tho assault and the removal of the goods.—Geo. Wilson gave evidence as to letting a house in Nelson street to the plaintiff, and to its subsequent occupation by the defendant, who declared that sho came armed with authority from Mr Barstow to do so.—Mary WHson, daughter of last witness, wa3 also examined. —Mr Laishley then resumed his contention, arguing that the plaintiff had no right to sue, as she was a woman under coverture, notwithstanding the tact that her marriage with Lawlor was a bigamous one. Ha then called Ann Lawlor, who admitted having removed articles from Mr Wilson's house in Nelson-street, believing that they were her husband's property. She was too ex cited at the time to remember all the articles, but she was willing to return such as the plaintiff could provo to be her pro perty.—Mr Tyler having been heaid on the whole case, His Worship gave judgment for £23 8s 3d and £5 13s costs.

DUNNINGHAJI AND KING V. JAMES Bridge.—Claim £3 14s, for board and lodging.—Mr Armstrong appeared for the plaintiffs, while the defendant conducted his own case. - The debt was alleged to bo contracted in December, 1875, the defen dant having just arrived from Aberdeen by the immigrant ship Zealandia. He ad mitted having stopped a week at the plaintiffs' hotel, and asserted posi tively that he paid before leaving.
