The Troasuror replied that with regard to tho tot question, tho advance was made nuler the nineteenth section of the Public B B vcnuo3 Act. With rcgiird to tho second, theGovornraeut have uot been advised that lliere is »nY l K>wcr -to "lako all advance iinder the thirty-second section of the Pub lic Works Act, IS6U The reason tho Go vernment made this temporary advance was that the .Government had given a nledcc to the agents in the London money market that no further debentures of the (•ovcriiincut should go home, aud tho Go veriuucut was afraid if any such debentures wout home they would be accused of a Breach of faith. Tho Govorniiient, [thorei tore made a temporary advr.'ioo under the nine'tceutu section of the Public Works Act- LAND REGULATIONS. Mr Scddon, in asking that a copy of tho Lnud Regulations belaid on the table, said Ilia reason was that tho Government had given special privileges to Mr Vesey Stewart, which were denied to people Within the Colony. Mr Kollcston law tho regulations ou tho table without comment. ' flff Bryce, in reply to Mr Rrievos, said tho Government had not relinquished any Hem on land, but had removed the proclam ation over the East Coast block. DECEN I'BAIiIS ATION. In reply to Mr Moss's question, whether tho Civil Servicei Commission iiad h-icn in- Dtructed to inquire how far tho cost of tho gcrvico might bo reduced and its efficiency increased by extending local Government, go as to decentralise tho administration of railways aud other groat depots of the Pub lic Service, Mr Hall sai;l tho instructions to too Commission were published, HAWKERS. Replying to Mr Ireland, Mr Hall said the Government intend to bring in a Bill to mitigate the hardship onder which hawkors' labour with respect to licenses iv connection with County Council fees. THE SAN FRANCISCO MAIL. In reply to Mr Bowen, Mr llall said that letters not specially ad dressed vtc:c sent by San Francisco." By that means tho postal revenue of the colony was benefited. Keccntly, however, that practice had becu neglected by the London office, but a remonstrance had been cabled on the subject. The London Oilico was alone responsible, aud every effort would be niado to remedy the mistake.

MR SWANSUN AND JOHN LUNDON,

There was a complete case of Greek meeting Greek, and a consequent tug-ot war iv the afternoon. Mr Sw.mson and Mr Lundon were the Greeks, and the plural voting was the ostensible battle ground. Honest Willie had the tirat inniDgs and blazed away for nearly three quarters of an hour in the honest Swan sonian English, andwithn great expenditure of muscular Christianity in gesticulations on tue enormity of the baseness of those who would do away with the right of property owners to plurality of votes, and threatened to have the measure (Regulation of Elections Bill) recommitted on the question. Mr Swanson was certainly seen at his best. The marvellous facility with which he brought down the House by giving Rolands for Olivers to tho.se who interjected was something wonderful. He went in for a little beautilully neat mimicry of Sir George Grey aud Sir W. Fox, too which kept the House in loars as he rubbed his hands and imitated their voices, and tried to put on some plaintivephilanthropic look. Newton'a member of course is dead against abolishing plural voting, and he certainly niado the very best of his case to prove that it was against tiie iutereots of working men, to whom he belonged, to abolish plurality, nud ttien he drew a series of pictures of every man under his own vine and fig-tree order, which did not seem very relevant, and also demonstrated that it was by plural votes that niO9t able men were able to get into Parliament of which an example was Mr Sheehan'» return for Rodney.

Here Mr Lundon, who for twenty minutes had been regarding Mr Swanson with a Donnybrook Fair kind of expression, sprang up, and poured out vehement and emphatic denunciations of his colleague. He ridiculed his claims to be considered of the working class, while upholding plural voting, aud said, as for Sheehan being returned for Rodney, the people of Koduey did not want him, aod had not returned him, that feat being accomplished by Itod ney landowners living iv Auckland, but taken down by steamer. Mr Lundou " wired in " at a great rate, and with Mile sian volubility and energy for afew minutes, and rounder! off with a sneer at Mr Swan con's cowardice in not speaking the same sentiments before tho Central Committee or public meetings as ho did in the House, referring specially to the meeting in the Theatre Royal, when he was carefully absent, of course.

Williecould not stand this, and so returned to the charge. He declared that the meet ing referred to he had not been notified to attend, and only knew of it through the papers. He asked John King why he had not been notified, but King said Captain McKcnzic had not told him what notifica tions to send. Then ho stirred up Captain McKenzic, and told him what Kin<? as serted.whereat the Captain said,"Jell King with my compliments, that he is a liar," and, continued Mr Swanson, " If I thought air, my constituents and the Central Com mittee were against plural voting, my resig nation would be in your hands like a shot, for I should no longer represent their opinions." Mr Swanson replied to the charge of carrying Sheehnii's voters to Kod ney by steamer, by saying the other side chartered a steamer too, only the Captain accidentally put voters ashore in the wrong place. Mr Swanson certainly gave back more than ho got, and between tho two speakers the House got a- good deal of in formation, which diverted it amazingly, as to the economy of Auckland election contests.

Mr Gisborne, who followed, said these matters might be very interesting to the people concerned, but they certainly were not to thn House. The roars of laughter that had been afforded, however, gave the same answer to Mr Gisborne that Captain McKcnzic gave to King.

MB, MOSS ON VOTING.

Mr Moss, in committee on the Regula tion of Elections Bill, made a strong speech in favour of a residential suffrage only, abolishing all other qualifications.

MR BRVCE AND NATIVE SCANDAL

Mr Bryco's Native statement, delivered in the House last night, created a profound impression amongst southern members, but tho scandals referred to are of long (standing, and must have been known to Mr Bryce himself for years back. The statement, in that respect, it is complained by some Oppo sition members, is disingenuous, and ap parently made to detach southern members from the Opposition. The native bills will be strongly opposed, and it is doubtful if they will pass.

DR. WALLIS AND THE LADIES,

Tho discussion after the native statement was uninteresting. Dr. Wallis in com mittee on tho Pharmacy Bill, contended that apothecaries passed in England, being authorised to practice anywhere in the British dominions, must practice in New Zealand without special authority from the proposed Pharmaceutical Board. Mr Dick retorted flippantly, by reference to Dr. Wallia's partiality for the softer sex. At half-past ten, when Mr Seymour left tho chair for the usual rece?s, there was not a quotum. It is tho usual thing for mem bers to make fine speeches on second read ings of Bills, and Hit away to amusement when the real work in committee, where the laws finally shaped comes on. When the committee re-assembled, the House adjourned.

(PER UNITED TRESS ASSOCIATION),

MR BRYCE'S NATIVE STATEMENT.

Charges of Corruption in the

Department.

Mr Bryce, in moving the second reading of the Native Land Sales Bill, said the law at present was not in a satisfactory condi tion. The object of the Bill was to simplify these laws. lUch of the eight Bills brought in, embodying the native policy, deals with different branches of the subject. Hitherto their course on this subject had not been a. satisfactory one. They had all along gone on the assumption that their policy with re spect to native lands must be based on the Treaty of Waitangi. From the time of the treaty until now, it had been deemed that the fee simply remained in the Crown until 1855. In 1844, some pressure was brought to bear upon the then Governor. He issued * proclamation, enabling private'parties to deal with these lands. A few months after wards he issued a second proclamation, re ducing the payment from ten shillings per acre to one penny, for the i?sue of a Crown grant. The pre-emptive right was restored ty Sir George Grey, the succeeding Govcr- n °f. That right was maintained till 1555, and he believed they would agree with him in saying that it was a very great pity that that right was not maintained after that date. The right of private persons to purchase these lauds was recognised. The I'ext change was in the year 1871, when the *üblic_Works policy was inaugurated. At that time and subsequently as much as three-quarters of a million sterling v/a'i ap propriated for the purchase of a landed estate in the North Island. Then com

-an anything lo demoralise the Natives, lie meant the purchase of Native lauds by gents. llioeoagents mattered money amongst them like dust, induced them to take rum, and resorted to almost every species of demoralisation. They had not succeeded in getting the desired reward n^nJTT*?™ 8 tUat tllc Government agents did not regard themselves purely as Government aßcnta. They purchased land not only for Government but also tor thorn selves and their frit rids. The result was that the Government got the bad land, and those parties :md their friends the good and. 1 hoy, as a (iovcrnment, had not got thou reward, as tho evil sources resorted to ought to have led them to expect. In 187(J a Bill was introduced by the then Govern ment winch deserved more credit than it got, but it was too complicated. It was introduced, but withdrawn. In 1577 another JJill was brought by the same Go vernment. It went in the direction of free-trade principles, and, altuuui'h an improvement upon its urcdecessor in machinery, it too, had "to bo with drawn. It was withdrawn on an amendment, which was accepted by the Government. It was known as the Native Lands Court Bill. It served one useful purpose. It indicated the direction in which tho country waned legislation in Native land, it indicated that the House did not wish f-ce trade in Native land. Then Major Atkinson went out, and tho Grey Govorniiient came iv. One of the objects was that it should reform this very practice, and he had no hesitation in sayin'" that in that respect the Grey Government was an utter failure. It never attempted to deal with tho matter until a few days before it wont out of ollice. He despaired almost of making tho House understand tho terrible iniquities perpetrated in recent Native Land purchases. He would give them a few examples of the iniquitous transactions. The advance system has been the great feature iv these transactions, aud the particular mode of making these advances was somcthiurj atrocious—ho meant the system of granting orders on storekeepers. In Tauranga alone £11,000 had passed through one Government agent's hands iv the space of eighteen months. The process of granting those orders was for the amount to be left blank in the vouchers. The agent was supplied with hinds by an imprest, and when he wao called upon to account for the sums by tho auditor, ho filled these vouchers up to suiu the occasion. A transaction took place some mouths ago, which induced him to send Up and examine matters, and the result was some thing extraordinary. The auditor re ported that he found that moneys charged bad never been paid, and that had jit been paid, the grossest irregularities had taken place in connection with the payments Two items were specified—one for £30, tho other for £150, as much as £77 of tho latter being for spirits and beer consumed at a tangi over tho land agent's brother, tho Into Judge Young. Again, it was stated that negotiations with Natives were con ducted with tho utmost irregularity. He had ahvady said that they had btcu guilty of iuiquituf, but, had received no equivalent for their double. When they came to settle the negotiations connected with these vouchers oil which advances were made, they would niostuudoubtedly be repudiated, and fie Government stauds to lose a large sum of money. Again, this fund had never been closely scrutiuised, aud was most grossly abused. If a Maori wanted an order to pay his expenses, or to get rum, it was charged to this fund. The rule was that any doubtful payment was charged for food. Especially lie would now refer to the West Coast. He did uot think that the system of land vouchers obtained there, but all other objectionable features of tho system were observed. The agent there Would agree on a price for the land he had never seen, and which no white man could tell them about. They had purchased land, the surveyors now reported, to be broken and worthless. The agents had ' to rely upon the statement as to the aroa. Iv one ca<e the estimated area was GO,OCO acres, and when it came to be surveyed it was found to contain not more than 7000 acres. The result of this was that it was found that the money advanced wan far more tb.au the total value of tho land. This was in and about Wauganui. Further up the coast a geutlemau, who had been trea. ing with the GoTcrnment, got £1,000 for his alleged interest in a block, The gentle man was then appointed a Land Purchase Agent at £400 a year to complete the pur chase of tbat very block, which had not been done yet. More than that, this gcutle man wat a storekeeper and advances made to the Maoris were paid through him,buggies harness and other articles purchased from his store having been supplied in lieu on the land. The payment of compensation for contiscated land was next referred to. The payments to the chiefs were made secretly, and they were ordered to sign fictitious names to hide the naturo of the tranaaction. A sum of £1,030, expenses of gieat Maori mocking at WaiUra, was pro vided for in a moat extraordinary way. The N.itive agent at Waimate got the amount by imprest, and to satisfy the auditors aud Government, got three Maoris, who did not possess an inch of land iv tho placo, to sign receipts for the money. What he would contend for was, that the whole system was demoralising, and that if they would not reach tho expected benefits from their efforts, they muit do away with tha old system. No system could possibly be devified that could work worse than the present system. The pre-emptive right system was in his opinion the best de vice that could bo resorted to, but it would be impossible now to cany that out. Free trado in Native Sands was equally unten able. What then remained for them to adopt? He believed the only valid system was that continued in the Bill, tho second reading of which he now propose d. The great object would be to settle these lands, and he contended that the Bill before the House wai a step in that direction. It was, lie thought, the best law that could be de sired under tho circumstances. It was true that the Maoris might not be disposed to place their lands in the hands of the Waste Lands Board. To make it popular with the Maori", it was proposed to enable the Government to make reasonable ad vances upon the land. As regards the Maoris themselves, it would cventuallyjbe a.very great relief to them. It would save them from the perpetual annoyances of those persons who are always after them for their lands. Ho (detailed the features of the Bill, and concluded by moving the sccoud reading. Major To VVheoro moved the adjourn ment of the debate.

Captain Haiulin, in feconding the motion for adjournment, said that they heard some thing from the mover which they would very much like to inquire into. Then, again, they wanted to have other measures to see the effect upon the whole question of native policy. He hoped the Government would not object to the motion. Mr Maciindrew supported the motion for adjournment. The measure was one which required calm consideration. Mr Gisb»rnc said the Native Minister bad quoted from documents boS before the House, and that itself was a reason for ask ing the adjournment. Mr Lundon aleo spoke in favour of the adjournment. Sir George Grey said that the speech had been chiefly an attack upon othei persons, and that it was only fair that the late Native Minister should be present before the debate was gone on with. The motion for adjournment was then put and agreed to. The debate was adjourned till Friday.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The Five Million Loan.

Silt JULIUS VUGEL'S LETTERS,

The papers respecting the Five Million Loan were laid on the table to-day. They contain a memo by Mr Balkan cc, dated June last, informing Sir Julias Vogcl that the Government proposed to raise a loan of live millions at live per cent., and to appoiut as agents Vogel himself and Mr Omauney. O°i the 27th July Mr Ballauce wrote that the Government had not realised their ex pectations of forwarding authority to raise the loan by the 'Frisco mail of 19th July. On July 22nd Sir Julius Vogcl telegraphed in reply to Sir George Grey that he could raise a'£loo,ooo or a £150,000 temporarily ou short dated debentures at Bank rates. On the Sth August Vogel again telegraphed in reply to Sir George Grey that the Loan Agents would accept sixty days for £150,000 and £100,000 in the following three months. On the 13th August Sir George Grey informed Sir Julius Vogcl that the Govern ment would draw from time to time from the proceeds of the new loan to provide for the expenditure sanctioned under the Loan Act.- On the 15th Sir George Grey instructed Sir Julius Vogel to telegraph from time to time to the Audit office, Wellington, the amounts raised in London", upon receipt of which the Treasury would credit the Public Works Fund and debit the Bank of New Zealand, London, with the amount raised. Sir George Grey admits that the course is un usuaf, but'justifies it, on the grounds of necessity. He says that to Ist. of Oct. 1870 a sum of £531,579 would bo required, of this £531,579, a sum £515,534 was re quired for interest and sinking fund, orders tor transfers to foreign account not ex ccrcised £471,184, making a total of £OSG, 719 from which the balance in the Bank of

New Zealand, London, and the Bank drafts wore to bo deducted to the amount of £•155,139, leaving a deficiency of £531,579. On August 15th Sir George Grey sent the Loan Agent a draft in favour of the bank in London to the amount of a hundred and fifty thousand, and intimated that three further drafts, to the amouut of a hundred thousand each, would also be sent. These drafts were in anticipation of authority being sent to raise the live million loan. On the same date he gave Sir Julius Vogcl authority for tho loan, aud authority for Sir Julius Vogel and Mr Omanucy to act as agents. On the ISth a telegram, signed by the Governor, was sent, authorising Sir Julius Vogel and Mcstrs Julytin audOnian ncy to raise the live million loan and to raise, in anticipation of warrant, temporary advances not exceeding two hundred thou sand. On the 25th August Sir Julius Vogel telegraphed "advance arranged." On the 12th September Sir George Grey drew on Crown Agents for another hundred thou sand. Sir Julius Vocel, on the sth Septem ber, while Mating, "It gives me great plea sure to think that I have been able to aid meeting the requirements of the Govern ment," adds, "it is right I should say the more tho loan is nnticipted the greater will bo the dilliculty of Hoating it, because people will try to take advantage of the necessities, real or fancied, of the Govern ment." On the Mth Oct. the Loan Agents telegraphed that tho market was very dis inclined for a large New Zealand loan." The Government must bo content with half negotiated now, and the other half not before tlie end of ISSO, aud undertake not to issue nnothor loan for three yeais. I'cople ask for .statistics showing generally the employment of the railways. Be very cautions not to reveal contents ot telegrams. On tho 7th Mr Hall asks loan iiKenta " (Jould you uot raise throo millions now '! " They reply (hey will try to moot his wishes on receipt by telegraph of a pledge that tho colon? will not issue more that three millions under the net of 1579, and not more than live millions until after the end of'lS32. Mr Hall telegraphed accordingly on the 26th, On the eighth November Major Atkinson informed the Agent-General it would be necessary to anticipate tho new loan to 31st January, ISSO, by £1,1.14,893 lo meet liabi lities in Englaud. On 2nd December Sir Julius Vogel (olfgraphs the Bank of Eng land hesitates to act, and refers to Dnnk Committee on 6th December. Tho Trea surer slates that the amount to lie required in the colony for expenditure out of loan to 30th Juno, ISSO, would bo about one hun dred thousand ji month in addition to revenue accruing to on amouut equal tv interest and sinking fund to bo paid in .London out of loan, lie also intimates with reference to the Treasury Bill that £-M 2,000 will be due on the first of March, and pay able at tho Crown Agents. The Govern ment propose to extend tho currency of their bills for three y»ars with a view to their being iiucribcd. With record to De ficiency Bills to the 31st March, 18S0, the Government propose that they shall he taken up on short-dated debentures, and be inscribed under the Consolidated Stock Act, 1877, to the amount of eight huudrsd thou sand, fix hundred thousand being applied to redemption of Treasury Bills, matur ing on September 30th, ISSO, and two hundred thousand in aid of tho re venue to 3Lst March. On the Gtli De cember Sir J. Vogel telegraphs that the Bank of England reluctantly nu;ree to invite subscription of a loan. They, in common with general opiuion, think the New Zealand Loan excessive. The agents are giving 120 for every live per cent. On the 12th the Loan Agents telegraphed that the loan is subscribed more than twice over. Further correspondence shews the Government lias deposited £50,000 with tbc Colonial Bank for twelve mouths at four per cent., and notifies the Loan Agrnts of further drafts. On sth November Sir Julius Vofccl telegraphs : " Tho Crown Agents will accept your bills for November mail for £175,000 more to he drawn until further advised by Loan Agents. The bauks decline further advances in anticipa tion of the new loan. This is confidential " On 6th November the Crown Agents state that Sir George Grey's draft of £250,000 lias been accepted; besides this,advauces to the extent of £1,102,500, of which £705,000 were on the security of tho new loan at four per cent., and £307,500 in short dated live' cent. debentures. They had also accepted bills to an amount of £525,000. The Bank of England had refused to may advances on unguaran teed debentures beyond £307,500, but [he London and Westminster Bank was being moat liberal in enabling agents to meet advances. The Loan Agents add tbat a atrontr feeling peiviulen the market that New Zealand in incurring liabilities beyond those which her popula tion and circumstances fully warrent.and an idea prevailed that theloau had been largely discounted with the Ba.uk of New Zealand", if when the new loan comes to be floated the press of the colony unfavourably criticise its finances, bankers s»v the chances of raiding the loan would bo diminished if not altogether ex tinguished. The agents feel bound to add that the Bank ot England in refusing further advances on any terms was in fluenced by those considerations. If the new loan i* not raised before the end of the year debentures would not be convertible securities. They es timate tho amount required to 31st March at £2,207,786. On second January Mr Hall thanks the Crown agents for their trouble, and hopes the Property Tax and increased Customs duties will reassure the the London money market. The Crown agents in letters of the 9th December state that twelve millions were applied for. They state that although the live per ceut. debentures are issued at two and a half per cent., the converted loau will repre sent eighty pounds for each hundred of four per cdnt. stock. So that inscribed stock will represent money borrowed at a fraction less than five per cent. The Bank of Englaud has been paid one half of one per ceut. commission and quarter per ceut. brokerage. Mr Julyan received an eighth and Crown agents one eighth per cant. Sir Julius Vogcl's remuneration rests with the Government. Mr Hall writes on 27th February that it is difficult to pronounce an opinion as to the wisdom of the proposed conversion, but the amount of capital to be repaid will be more than proportionately increased. Also the price for the loau (£97 10s) was below current quotation?. The Crown Agents in a further telegram state that the success of the loan was not so much due to the credit of the Colony as to the fact that the Bank of England became its' sponsor. On the 2nd March Sir Julius Vogel informed the Treasuror of tho renewal of £442,000 Treasury Bills. Sir Julius on 19th /ipiil last, acknowledges the letter re fusing to grant him commission on the new loan. He coutends that his services were exceptional, lie regrets the Government only partly read his telegrams to Parlia ment, as he had declined to act as Agent- General on the terms proposed. In reply, the Government stated that they considered his acting as Agent-General incompatible with other business and considering the ex pediency of relieving him therefrom, appoin ting him agent for inscribed stock at a per centage and associatiug two agents with him. Sir Julias Vogel asks whether it would be understood, after this, that he was- to continue as Loan Agent for sixteen months without remuneration. His colleagues had come to the conclusion independently of himself as to the amount of percentage based on custom, usage, and common sense. He thinks his claim to commission undeniable. He details his B :rviccs saying they were worth hun dreds of thousands of pounds to the colony, oud asks that Parliament may be consulted on, the question of remuneration. Enclosures shew Grey called on Vogel to resign his position on the directory of tho Agricultural Company. Be would riot allow the Agent-General to take part in politics or private bnsiness. Vo^el replies that some members of the Govern ment knew he wai organising the compauy, and the shareholders would not think it fair for him to resign for some time to come. Mr. Hall, on coming into office, asks Vogel to wire the names of the- members of the Government who were aware, and says a reasonable time will bo allowed to arrange ais retirement. Ho endorses Grey's tele gram as to the inexpediency of his remain ing a director, or engaging in home policies. Vogel replies that Mr Stout certainly, and to the best of his belief, Mr Macandrew and Mr Ballance know. He cannot for some time resign, but he is willing to take the loan agency, payable by pcr-centago, and act as Agent-General without salary as long it suited the Government. In reply, the Goverumeut say they "consider the Agent-Generalship incompatible with other business and. that tho Govern ment are considering the expediency of appointing him agent of inscribed stock, aud relieving him of tho Agent-General ship." Mr Hall further telegraphs that the Government are unable to sanction tho commission on the last loaiij and regard other loans as subject to the approval of Parliament. They will pay each agent one-twelfth per cent. Vogel, in reply, still claims pcr-centage on the last loau, and asks permission to refer the question to Parliament. Ho says he will accept onc twelftli in fnture, including last loan, aud will commence his duties at once, and also continue to aid as Agent-General tillrelicvcd. His salary is to be deducted from the com mission. Mr Hall replies on the 4th March that he has no objection to Vogel com mencing as agent, and continuing Agent- General till relieved, Vogel, on the 12th

March, says the proposal leaves him a year unpaid, and that the work of the con version of the loan is not completed. He strongly protests, Ou the sth of June Mr Hall writes at length excusing Government.

Constable Walker wai made aware of the fight and raihcd to the spot, but unfortunately in leaping the fence, he met with a misfortune and got his trousers torn and damaged. The Court commented upon the pro ceedings as things of tho past, but would uot express favour or disapprobation of the act ; he found that cock-lighting was an offence against the law, and they must pay a line of 5s each with costs.

CHARGE AGAINST CIIABIiES VEITH,

Charles Veith was charged 011 summons with using as a slaughter-house a building occupied by him in Queen-street without being duly licensed. Inspector Goldic gave evidence to the effect that Mr Veith had not applied for a license to kill. The place had never been used as a slaughter-house. Charles Veith acknowledged that he killed small calves, but cot on the date in the information.

Mr Veith said he would havo pleaded guilty at once, but the inlonnation said the 4th, and the calves were killed on the 3rd Juno. He could not, therefore, conscien tiously plead guilty. The information was altered to the 3rd, and Mr Veith pleaded guilty.

Fined 10s and costs. ASSAULT

Mr Dufaur for complainant,

The ca3e was trifling in character but as an assult had been committed defendant was lined 5s aud costs.

THE HANNAH MOKAU.

(To ;Ii 3 Editor.)

Sir, —Will you kindly allow me a small space in your valuable paper in order that I may be able to explain matters with re gard to the s.s. Hannah Mokau, while run ning to Mokau. She has performed her services to Mokau according to the contract entered into with the late Govcrnmont, and has only received £100 for two years' ser vices, and the present Government declines to pay the amount really due to the steamer, viz., £450, and say it was only a verbal agreement which, was made. It seems a great pity the first £100 has been paid, as the Company would have only run the steamer when it paid her. She has lost money in consequence. There is not the slightest doubt but what the .steamer has dono good service towards tho Mokau district, it boing impossible to got to Mokau overland with a load of any kind. There may be a road made some day, and then it will only be iit for pack horses, which occupy two days iv getting to their destination. But the s.s. Hannah Mokau has done the trip to the Mokau river iv 2J hours from Waitara, which is really beautiful. The steamer lias run 15 miles up, and brought down samples of very line coal, and if the steamer be sold by the Government they must do something ; for ou the North Side of the Mokau river the Government havo some lifty thousand acres of splendid land, bought and paid for the last thiity years, and which would tjivo employment to hundreds of working men. If tho Hannah Mokau was repaired she wonhl make employment for both coal miners and bimhrncn, there being plenty of good limber also. Tho natives there hare done there utmost to try and get tho dristrict opened up for European enterprise, and they arc in a grout way about losing their Steamer, but are determined not to allow any other steamer to go into the river but their own.—Yours, &c,

PARNELL WATER.

(To tho Editor.)

Silt, —Economy and retrenchment ought to bo the rtilo iv our unfortunate borough. Where then is tho hcdsc in this childish, unseemly persistence in an attempt to force additional, unnecessary burdens on unwill ing tax-payers ?

Were tho demand for more water email ating from any of our highly respectable publicans or conscientious milkmen, 1 could readily understand their purity of motive, aa well as its innocent cogency iv their Npecial cases, and wo applaud it, Here, however, the spectacle presents itself of one or two fussy butchers, who having secured to themselves permission (most disgracefully in my opinion) to slaughter within the borough bounds, to in diet on their neighbours tho plagues of flics, of stenches, aud of putrid bloody 01 dure, now with bruzeu cli'rontery seek to saddle the cost of cleansing their abomina tions on the ratepayers.

Only to-day wo lonru of an abortivo ex periment in the Harbour, to harrow up by steam aid the silt accumulated in it. One day's work at an expense of £17, caused a wiso stop to tho folly on the part of the Harbour Board.

Away with sucii wv eery follies, and citi zens of Parucll arice iv your might, and determinedly extinguish these persistent schemes of niischevious additional taxation. —I am &c,

Vigilant,

GAS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l think it right the attention of Auckland citizens should be called to the " Cheap John " style of doing bu»iucsa now used by the Auckland Gas Compauy. Every device in advertising local aud foreign has been adopted to induce house holders to purchase gas stoves, sold by the Company, of course at a prolit; tempting (illusions to the great saving to be attained by their me, the non-necessity for the "domestic institution" as the Company elegantly puts it, and many other advantages (on paper) too alluring to be re- Kititod. What in the result? The stows are sold ; the gas still keeps at its exorbi tant price, ami the quality becomes more and more inferior ; complaints are made, men arc sent to the houses of tho?e com plaining ; but tbc only uffect is, tho pipes are found too small or too large, but neither the company nor the gas is in fault, accord ing to their showing. During tho month ending the 10th June instant, the gas sup plied during three days and nights, was insufficient, cither with which to cook or to read, and yet no reduction is made. The meter ih read as usual, and the charge i.s U9 before, and owing to the inferior gas, .1 much larger quantity wa3 used, without any corresponding benefit whatever. And in many cases to tho seiious lojs of tho consumer, and the consequent profit tc the Company. The Company should do as other advertising tradesmen do ; aud that is charge less for an inferior article than for one of good quality, aud not stubbornly adhere to a " hard and fast price," and practically toll cus tomers if they don't like it they can do without. It i.s time pressure was brought to bear upon tho Company to compel it to supply good gas, and to reduce the price. If some change does not speedily take place, a new Company will bo formed, for which there is plenty of room, and it will be found that the Legislature are not averse to another Company. I am informed an examination of tho Company's balance sheets will show their profits have far exceeded the statutory limitation.—l am, &c.,

WHANGAREI.

(FROM OUR OW3T CORRESPONDENT.)

There has been a few days of lovely weather, during which time I fondly imagined tho roads would have been channelled and metalled, but no 1 they arc in the same condition as a week ago, when the erjgine left off running for the simple fact that it constantly stuck in the mud. It would have paid Whangarei better to to have mended the road on purpose for the engine, and so have kept it running until the railway was completed; now we lose the expenditure oE £500 a month in tho district by the temporary stoppage of the coal work. Had. the authorities interviewed the proprietor, and suggested co-operation in the repairs, I feel sure they would have been met in a friendly spirit, but they can hardly expect Mr Bennett lo lay out any more money on a public road unless they contribute a proportion of the expense.

The Ladies and the Property Tax,

The collector for the Property and Personal Tax has commenced his duties here. I do not envy him his appointment Kveryonc feels it a special grievance be sides, as one youag lady justly observes, what business is it of the Government how many lockets and brooches her admirers have given her. By and by they will want to know the names of those who pre sented them, and the old ladies don't like heir affairs talked over by those meddle

some people who ought to be ashamed of themselves, for interfering in other peo ple's business, while the gentlemen, (those who do not consign the Government who impases such a tax,to a warmer place than Whangarei), wish they had thorn in Frisco, where they would soon get their deserts. Some first class leather from Mr McKen zie's Tannery, has been on view this week, and is highly spoken of by our local Cris pins. Mr McKenzie is to bo congratu lated upon being the first in Whangarei to establish a manufacture of this description, and I trust he will be eminently success ful.

Coal has been found cropping out between here and Kamo, and a shaf l. is to be sunk in a few days. This is likely to he of im mense value, I am told, by an experienced miuer from the old country.
