Water Supply.—Mr John Lamb wrote suggesting that a bye-law should be mado giving power to any person desirous of fitting np water-pipes within his own premi ses without employing a licensed plumber, and that the engineer to the waterworks should be the judge of the pipes being properly fitted up.—Referred to; Finance Committee. Street Railways.—The lettetreceived on this subject was referred to tie Public Works Committee for considerition, Vlr Smith to be asked to be prespnt.o make any personal explanation necessarj Gas MACHINE. —Mr G. A.Wnrtfr's appli cation for leave to exhibit publify a gas making machine was granted pder the engineer's supervision. J Contractors' Mistake.—Mssrs Mc- Keo and Haselden, contractors(for works in Grafton-road, wrote stating hat tHey had made a serious mistake ii their es timate of the work, and asking U Council to grant them £14 additional, wh|h would bring their tender up to £73 15 ...whereas the next lowest tender was 19. The surveyor appended a memo, to iie offect that'the work was well worth £S»bis esti mate had been £S5. It was agreedo forfeit tbe defaulting contractors' depot (£6), and to hand the work over to ac next lowest tenderer. {■ ; . . The Main Sewer.—Mr Man- an nounced that the Sub-Committee ajointed to confer with a Harbour Boal Com mittee re the diversion of the mainewer, had duly met. They considered Jit the best ■ course to adopt was to telegph to the Minister for Public Works askn him to defer the construction of thesewdfor a few days, and that tho District Eiineer be authorised to confer with the Committees, and the City and Har bour Board Engineers. They hadjace mot Mr Stewart, and he hadfold them that not only did wo approvjtliQ diversion proposed but that he won| be prepared to recommend that the Governen t should give the money estimated fbthe completion of the work in aid of carryi4he sewer out to the Breakwater. Thoiti mated amount was within a few pountof £5000. He (the Mayor) therefore mjd, "That tbe matter should be left lithe handa of the Works Committeo with pier to act. —Carried. .j Sea-Watee Baths.—The Mayor, ide senting the plans of the proposed sea-\%r baths, said that the estimate of thehv vevor for a stone wall and a wooden platan covered in, so as to afford shelter f ron^e sun or from rain, was £850. The intena was to make tho wall four feet th, so that at low water there would ha depth of four foet in which to bat and at high water threo or fr feet additional. He believed that it -t also intended to havo a hole en. hteen mci in size through which the water conldi periodically drained off for tho cleansing the baths. In the four corners of t square fresh water shower baths would h placed in the meantime. The immediate ai rangements would be carried out with a Viet to economy, but when their loan had bee floated they might consider tne advisabilit of erecting a house where fresh water bath both hot and cold might be provided. So far as tho piesent project was concerned be thought that it should not be delayed longer, but that it should be proceeded with as ap proved by the Council in September last, fie therefore, moved, "That the survey ' should be undertaken ns already agreed to by the Council."—Cr. Buchanan m second in* the motion asked .if the baths were to bo free. -The Mayor replied m the affirmative. A houso of two rooms, he con sidered, might be erected for'one of the single men in tbe Council's employ, who might reside there and give a general supervision, night and morning, to the baths, supply towels at a moderate charge, etc.-Councillor Crowther did not think that the Council should be committed to free baths.—ln answer to Councillor Waddel the Mayor said tbat the inside measurement of tho baths from side to side would be 90 feet.—Councillor Goldie proposed as an nrnendment, "That this matter be referred to the Finance Committee to report upon." They had now, he re marked, an overdraft amounting to ±&,tIJU, while the Act gave them no power to spend beyoud a certain amount. There was great necessity for them to proceed with circum spection in these matters and under such circumstances, for they had just heard o the action taken by the Legislative Council against the Now Plymouth Harbour Board for spending beyoud the limit prescribed by the Act.—The Mayor explained that there was no parallel between the position of the Board just cited, and that of the Council. Tho latter was not spending money in anti cipation of ordinary revenue but in antici pation of a loan whicli they hoped to float successfully. — Councillor Oiler seconded the amendment. He was under the impression that the site given by the Harbour Board was a very bad one.-Councillor Waddel replied that it was the best site available.— After some further discussion it yrttt agreed that the work should be proceeded with provided that " tho expenditure does not infringe the revenue," the linance Committee be authorised to call for tenders. _, . , ■ '■ Fire Brigade Uniforms.—Six tenders were received for tho supply of Fire Bri gade Uniforms, bnt as it was stated that the number would have been greater if a longer interval of time had been allowed, it was resolved to return tho tenders and invite fresh ones. City RoAD.-Cr. Aickin wished the

attention of tbe surveyor called to this thoroughfare. North Wam>.—Lots were drawn for the purpose of ascertaining in what order the three representatives of North Ward should retire from the Council.—The result is that Cr, Thompson retires this year, Cr. Buchanan next year, nnd Cr. Waddel the year after, NidHT Soil Contract.—An elaborate report was read from the surveyor regard ing the night soil contract. He recom mended that Jthe Couucil should provide tho plant necessary which would enable them to let the contract annually, instead of for throe years; also, that the use of earth or ashes should be made compulsory, ratepayers having the option of cither pro- Tiding the earth ,or ashes themselves, or .-■ •:. :.! it ,', (A ,'(...;!:■! '

taking it from the contractor at the contract price. His opinion was the Council should arrange for the continuation of the present contract until the end of Juno, 1881, and in the (meantime obtain the necessary plant ready |,to hand ovor to the contractor. The report was referred to the Works Com mittee.

Works Committee : -The report of this Committee |was read anil adopted. It con tained nothing of special interest.

Finance Committee.—The report ot this Committee was adopted. Its recommenda tions were given by us at some length last week, so that it is unncccessary to repeat them.

NuMr.KitiNO ok Houses. — Councillor Aickin moved that the resolution of the Council, in regard to the kind of name plates for streets and numbers for houses be amended prior to tenders being called for them, and that enamelled irou plates bo ordered for tlie purpose iudicatcd instead, — Tho Mayor seconded the motion — After some discussion, Councillor Aickin amended his motion to tho effect that specimens be procured and submitted to the Works Committee.—This was agreed to.

Native Meeting at Parihaka.

TE WHITI'S SPEECH,

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

PUKEHINAU, this day. WAITING for the dispersal of the natives your corresponded remained at Parihaka until to-day. The dispersal has not taken place yet, nor is it likely to. Tc Whiti has detained all the natives, with the exception of a few who are going to their own homes to take the houses belonging to tho natives arrested for fencing. Parihaka is alive with Maoris, the meeting on the 17th equalling a half-yearly meeting in regard to the num ber ,present. Te Whiti in his speech called upou all the natives of all tribes from the four quarters of the Island to come to him. Food is abundant, and the provisions divided for the entertainment of the visitors who may not be considered permaneut resi dents until arrested consists of lamprey, preserved pigeons, albatross, pork, bread, and tea. Although To Whiti's speech was comparatively short, it was very emphatic. Tho following are a few items in his oration : —"Springs of| water which}have become divided in my work shall not be made clear by anyone but myself, unci there is no drinking place for the dogs who wish to driuk. The two tribes of the Island are buried and know not my aims. Arresting men to prisou is not good work, but I will not leavo this quarrel to extend to another year but will finish this year. Though we are arrested like bush dogs we shall arrive at a satisfac tory end to our work. I will settle this alone without land. Those who wish to settle it without me will fail. All aro ignorant of what they are doing. The Government confines its work to the appointment of Ministers whom they thiuk lit. Those of two tribes who were wise concerning things of_ old are ignorant of my doings and my inten tions. All I hare to say this day is come to me from the four quarters of the island. Come to tne the members of many tribes, for the fence which confined this difficulty is bioken down. I am an ignorant man, and the tribes I am sending to prison are ignorant men. Mine enemy will never know what I ara aiming at until ho comes tome. It shall never be left for any but for ourselves; but listen tome—there shall be no lighting and no Laud Courts in bringing the matter to a conclusion. Both old and new troubles must be brought before my face, and all shall be settled. I tell you again that no waters have been made clear by any thing which has yet been done. The works aro not my owu, but I am the agent of another. No oue shall postpone it. What I give the Europeans to do they shall not be ablo to avoid. What I have appointed for the Maoris shall be given to them, but what I iutend shall no more be discovered than one can tell the destiny| of a bullet. There is no wisdom left to the tribes, but it was said in days of old by a covenant that all should be known and settled. Are you Europeans vexed with me for speaking thus. lam not vexed with you for taking my people pri souers. Did I send anyone to steal 1 ll id they steal auy thing? No -, I have a garden full of mfclous, and they think we are sorry that some of the biggest melons havo beeu .st jlon. They think that all the big ones have been takeu away from me, and that they cau take all with impunity. They know nothing about the biggest melons. The melons taken are the important pri soners, and the melon left is the right and law aud the question its Issue. Tohufollowedandsaidamongother things: 1 don't think the Government is the stronger of fie two races, hut I simply iclinquish my people to prison, and I don't say that there will be any end of my willingucss to give, them my men, my women, my children, and myself. There is a great man raised by the author of creation to settle this question. There is a victim of war dead this day ; a very great one, and it only remains to bury the corpse. No such victim remains. It is the intention of a great nation whicli is frustrated. It is not Col. Roberts or Major Tuke who is the victim. No; they have not come near euough to me to be vanquished by my peace ful intentions. The prisoners I havejient are simply to prove that I am peaceful and yet persistent, and are not despatched to ' achieve auy result, but my men are going and everyone. The Government gets incensed in its em barrassment. The Government has swal lowed a worm and it disagrees with, the Government, and they wish to discontinue the prisoners on that account. The action of the Government is like that of Herod, who, being afraid be was going to lo3e his kingdom, slaughtered the innocents; but it did not avail him. It was foretold of old that a great mountain shot-Id be raised iup to apportion the ways of the whole j land.

So ended the day's speeches,

Correspondence.

MB. JOHN LAMB AND CHEAP

LABOUR,

(To the Editor.)

Sißj—A few words in answer to Mr Lamb's remarks before the Commissioners for Local Industries with regard to the working man, recommending the Government to pay la bouring men less wages, thus giving him self and others (as he supposes) a chance of getting their work done at a much cheaper rate. Now, looking at it in a retrospective view, that labour being a marketable pro duct, the price of wages is ruled by the amount of labour in the market, and either rises or falls, according to the demand and supply, necessarily finding its own level. Even reckoning what Mr Lamb describes as the extravagant price which the Govern ment pay for labour, the men, considering the loss of time by wet and other casual ties, make on an average throughout the year about three shillings a day, being em ployed barely three days a week, which at six shillings per day would amount to Mr Lamb's calculation for married men—viz.. eighteen shillings a week. Now, I would ask Mr Lamb if he would guarantee to pay his men (wet or fino) according to his beauti fully graduated scale, and after he had got men to work at that price would he reduce the value of his commodities in proportion, and give his customers (like a true philan throphist) the benefit of his cheap labour|? Or, perhaps, it would be better to reduce his Hour and biscuits first, and then talk about cheap labour.- I am, &c,

Do Unto Others, &c.

Sir,—On Monday your contemporary had a very indignant leader, written expressly for home readers, on the alleged misrepre sentations of disappointed new arrivals, which have been rather rife of late in the English papers. Now I should like to know what the sapient writer of the said article has to say to Mr John Lambs pauperizing proposal of 3s per day to mar iied men, and 2s single ditto ? This gentle man is supposed to rank among the New Zealand magnates, and would be reckoned by the " Herald," I suppose, an authority in political economy, and yet he comes for ward with this monstrous proposition, which could only be entertained when the property of Mr J. Lamb, and such as him, had fallen in value 50 per cent. I can con ceive no worse enemies to New Zealand than those who coolly recommend such pro posals to a Government Commission, which, of course, are sure to be published in the English press. Thank God we have an honest paper in the Stab, which will not lend itself to heartless shams. -Mr Heslop jnay well remark that when the state of thingsdesired by Mr John Lamb has been brought about, residence in another country will be preferable.—Yours truly, L.N.

To the Editor : Sir,—ln your last issue i noticed a report of the evidence of Mr John Lamb before the Commissioners on Local Industries, ln his evidence he says : "We (the Agricultural and Pastoral Association) consider that 2s per day for single men, and 33 per day for married men, is quite sufficient to pay as wages." Now, Mr Editor, I should like to know how it is pO)Btble for any single man to pay his way and live on 2s per. day. .It is a pity that Mr John Lamb did not also show how a single man is to maintain and keep himself respectable on 2s per day. Possibly he cau show how a single man can pay for board, lodgings, clothe himself, procure shoes when neces sary, put something in the plate at1 church

collections on Sunday, pay the washer woman, aud other little items out of the abovo sum, but I doubt his ability to do so. And I think it would be equally impossible for him or any of the other members of the A. and P. Association to paint out how a married man can support himself, wife, and say three or four children on 3s per day in this Colony. Mr John Lamb did not men« tion, in the event of the rate of pay which he (on behalf of the A. and P. Association) recommended, became general in the colony whether the working man would he able to obtain the necessaries of life at a correspond ingly low price, and if he intended to reduce the price of flour and so enable the working man to obtaiu a cheap loaf, as I fancy, that would be about all he could afford to live ou, after paying for reut, firing, &c, out of the exceedingly liberal wages pro posed by the members of the A. and P. Association. If the members of the A, and P. Association had a little tnoro thought for those who are the bone and siucw of the country, and by whose assistance many of them have been helped to the position they now occupy, they would not be so eager to bring down the wages of those, who in tho past, have been the mainstay and backbone of the colony. By inserting this you will greatly oblige.—Yours, faithfully, "LIVE and Let Live."

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

(To the Editor.)

1 SlU,—Leaving the personalities unnoticed, I feel justified by the letter of " Firm and Kind,'' iv adding what I should have said in my former note, but for fear of trespass ing too much on your space. " Finn and Kind " in hia fust letter compares the cane to the policeman ; the comparison is as just as it is fatal to " Firm and Kind's" position. The functions of the policeman are quite in compatible with the work of the teacher. Surely no one who has considered the matter would ever wish to see the policeman in the school, or at least nut till the teacher is out of it. The duty of the policeman is to shield society against the outward injuries of crime; the work of the teacher is to train the moral character of the child iuto freedom from vices—which the policeman in no sense undertakes. Now, there are but two methods by which any human being cau become free from vices; either by destroy ing the sources of vices, or by training the moral character to a complete mastery over them. The cane is powerless towards either of these ends. Repressing vice by force never cures it, but sometimes inten sities it, aud sometimes makes it cowardly and subtle. The value of the cane to the teacher is in saving him trouble; it euablcs him to keep vice out of sight without curing it; but it is at the expense of degrading the child. Fear is powerless for good ; moral influence alone cau cure evil. "F. aud K." appeal to the public; so do I, with perfejt confi dence tbat even when the conclusion is not unconditionally accepted, the principles I state will be admitted by tho majority of men who have given the subject their atten tion and by nearly all women. Consider ing that education is made compulsory, I think we arc entitled to ask that the law shall prohibit corporal punishment in Go vernment Schools, aa is tho case in Switzer land aud elsewhere. But, without this, its banishment is only a question of time. The growing reverence of this age for the ethics of Christianity will as snroly put an end to this remnant of barbarism as it has dono to many others.—l am, &c., Samuel Edger.

THIS DAY'S BUSINESS.

Tho House met at 11 o'clock and went into Committee on the Wellington Racing Club Bill. Mr Hutchison moved that the Chairman leave the chair. The motion was put aud carried.

In committee on the Law Practitioners Act Amendment Bill, Mr WniTAKER moved that progress be reported. The committee divided—Ayes, 5; Woes, 35. On cluuae 2, Mr Sutton objected to the bill going auy further, and in explanation stated that it was a measure meant to meet the peculiar case of members of the House. The gentleman in question, au articled clerk, had come into the House knowing the dis qualification he was incurring in refetence to the profession for which he was studying. If the bill went far enough so as to provide for the cases of other persons besides mem bers of the House, he would be prepared to accept it, but he could not admit the right of the House to legislate for themselves. He moved that progress be reported. Negatived oa voices. Mr McClaughan described the conduct of his opponent as' blackguard conduct, and cowardly. He hoped they would continue their sittings so as to defeat such unseemly conduct.' Mr Hall said he was opposed to the Bill, but he | pointed out .that public business was beiug interrupted, and asked them to ad journ the measure. Mr Whitaker took ex ception to the languago of the member for Kiverton. He described the sudden out pouring as of on inexperienced young man, for wbom he was sorry. Mr McCanghan having left the House he would say no more. : _ - ' ■. ■ -,■

On the suggestion of the Premier further opposition was withdrawn, and on progress being reported the bill was reported with the amendment and passed.

AS STRANGE AS FICTION.

The " Kentish Express "has some particu. lars of an extraordinary life. The final scene took place a few days since, at Hastingleigh, some five miles from Ash lord. In the churchyard there gathered "an unusually large congregation, in the after noon, to witness the burial of an old and respected native of their ,parish,'MrrHonry Conley, who had died on board the steam ship Somersetshire, while passing through the Downs, after a voyage from Melbourne, iv Australia, to end his days with his eldest son, Mr William Conley, butcher, of High street, Deal. Until receiviug a telegram from the commander of the ship, dated from off the Lizard Wednesday night, td th ti effect, " i-our aged father, is ill on board the Somersetshire," Mr Conley had not heard directly jErom his father since the latter emigrated in 1853 when he threw up his business unexpectedly, aad left the country (his wife having died), without even bidding his family farewell. Occasionally he wflflheard|of iudirectly, as he was a man of business, who made him self well known in the cattle markets of the colony. Latterly the old |geutleman (who was 83 years.of age) expressed an increasing desire to see his friends, and be buried by the side of his wife at Hastingleigh. The old gentleman died when opposite to, and within a few miles of the house of his son, He had made up his mind to be buried at Hastingleigh, and at his great age undertook a journey of eighteen thousand miles to ac complish this end, but was not spared to again ,tread on his native soil. Mr Conley easily recognised his father's features, which were butlittle changed,claimed his body,and had it conveyed to Hastingleigh, where it was carried to the grave by four gentlemen far mers of the parish, sons of old Mends of the deceased. ' Previous to emigrating to ■ Aus tralia deceased held farms at Brook, Has tingleigh and Waltham, was a large cattle dealer, and well-known figure with the Earl Kent .Foxhounds, mounted on his favourite grey gelding, '■_, horse he had'won several raceis with, and ridden thousands of miles. It was the old gentleman's wish that the skin of this horse should be placed round his coffin, and_ thirty years ago the horse was shot and his skin preserved. Mr W.

About eight years ago a wealthy banker died, and left the usufruct of his entire for tune to hisyoungwidow till their only child aged two years, came of age ; then • the capital was to be divided between them.

LETTER FROM AFGHANISTAN.

A SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCE WITH GENERAL

STEWART'S ARMY

A soldier who is with General Stewart's force in Afghanistan, writes from Ghuzni on April 22nd to his father at Icklcshani, a letter from whicli we extract the follow ing :— "The weather has beeu greatly in our favour. Slight showers at times, and gales of wind, but nothing of any consequence iv the way of delaying our march. On leaving Kandahar we wero told that we could stow our warm clothes away, as we should not require them any more this winter; but on leaving Kelat-i-Ghilzae we found we required our warm clothes, and a little more if it was forthcoming. Kising higher, of course it became colder ; but it is lovely weather now, neither too hot nor cold. The only thing that trou bles us at times is clouds of dust rising, that makes oiir eyes very weak. I told yon in my last letter of the country being very unsettled up here. I must also tell that shot and shell have been fired since last I wrote ; but, thank God, I have been spared, although our loss and wounded amounted to about 125. I have no doubt you will hear of this before this letter reaches you, and I am sure you will be all in groat trouble. It is the last and largest fight that has been in Afghanistan during the war. They estimate the enemy's loss at four to five thousand. Their number was supposed to have been twenty to forty thousand. It was about forty miles from here where they came and met our force. They have not been seen sinco the battle. But such a daring class of men 1 never thought was in Afghan istan. They came nearly up to the muzzle of our guns. Our force fought remarkably well indeed. Tbe only man wounded in our battery was our captain—shot in the aim. He is a nice gentleman. lam very sorry for' him. He is doing well. One of our gunners was run over by the gun ; but he is doing well. The fight lasted nearly two hours. It was really hard lighting, and at the last it was hand to hand light. Our infantry fixed their bayonets and charged them. Our Indian regiments fought well and plucky. The four batteries of artillery were firing all this time, doing won derful execution amongst them; iv fact it was like mowiug them down; but still they came more and more to fill their dead one's places. My battery alone fired nearly two hundred large shells in that little time. It was very hard work indeed. Our hands wero blistered all over. I never saw a man so cool as our gallant general wao all this time. He took up a position on the top of a hill, and watched all the operations during the fight. Every man seemed in good spirits thiougbout. I must tell you, dear father, that I folt a little timid at the first or second shot being fired ; but after that I felt as if I could do anything for my life or anyone else's. I saw a great many poor fel lows turn pale at the first shots but soon recovered all this and worked to their uttermost. There are some lovely fields aud gardens here. The fort is a large oue, in want of repairing. Hoping, dear father, you will excuse this very bad writing, as my time is very scarce ; having only marched here to-day, everything is very uuscttled; and am battery orderly, having to warn all duties, and a great deal ofiwriting to do. I will give you full par ticulars when time will allow me to do so. Afghanistan is conquered at last, I am happy to tell you. I cannot tell you where we are going. There are rumours of goiog to' Kabul, ;aud some say to_ India. 1 will write again as soon as possible. And now 1 kind love to all; and tclJ poor mother lam safely brought through the battle, ;and am well and alive. Bullets were whistling about my head all the time.—Your affec tionate son, H.H."
