Mr Brad laugh had a seat brought him, and such refreshment as he preferred. Several mem bers of the House, including Mr Herbert Gladstone, Mr Pease, and Mr Borlase, chatted from time to time with him. The tedium of waiting was further relieved by tho second reception by the crowd given to Mr O'Donnell while passing from one entrance of the House to another with a lauy. When the numbers of the division inside on Mr Labouchere smotion condemning as an inter ference with the privilege of members the action of the authorities Jin expelling Mr Bradlaugh from the lobby were declared about ten minutes to two o'clock, Mr Brad laugh rose from his seat and made his advance on the door as arranged.

Electricity in War.

The Republic of France has the honour'ot first introducing electricity aa a force in war. At the capture of the Tunisian sea port Sfax,says the correspondent of the Lon don "Nows," "during tho night several armed boats were sent from the fleet close in to the town to prepare a jetty for the main body of the French storming division to land upon." The batteries of the Arabs commanded the point where the jetiy was to be constructed, but they had been pretty well demolished by the guns of the French fleet during the day. There still remained some mounted guns in the Arab forts which might seriously embarrass the jetty builders. In this emergency the French Admiral ordered electric lights from the ships to be concentrated on the shore forts. They turned the night iuto midday brightness where tho light was directed, so that every motion of the enemy at the forts was seen from the ships, and their shot and shell were sent as straight to the point of danger as they could have been in the brightest glare of sunlight. But to the Arabs in the forts the position of the French ships was all shrouded in darkness.

LATEST PALIAMENTARY.

The House This Afternoon.

EEDUCTION OF PROPERTY TAX,

Major Atkinson moved the second read ing of the Property Tax Bill. Mr Saundbrs blamed the Government for proposing a bill of this kind without explanation. The Treasurer ought to have shown the real state of their finance, and not deluded them by having borrowed money; or before they thought of reducing taxation he ought to have shown them he was able to live without borrowed money.

Mr Ballance concurred in the opinion that fuller information should have been given. He thought the relief proposed ought to have been given in a different way from that proposed. It ought to be given iv the shape of relief upon agricultural and other similar improvements. He felt, however, that it was useless to talk of any alteration, and blamed the Government for having persistently kept back all impor tant measures to this late period of the ses sion. It appeared to him there was nothing for it but to pass the bill.

Mr Moss commented upon the gross irregularity, of being called upon to pass such an important measure at the morning sitting after they had been sitting till 2 a.m. that morning. It appeared to him that the Government just lay in wait to catch upon an opportunity for passing this and that measure by a kind of subterfuge. It was quite clear they could not discuss the Bill with any chance of success. Sir Geo. Grey also blamed the Govern ment for having brought forward the Bill at this late period. He also blamed them for compelling the House to sit bo many hours in the day. The effect was to weaken the intellect and by that means measures were allowed to slip through, which would not be the case under a better system. He gave instances of the effect of this manlier of carrying on work.

Mr HALL rose to a point of ordeiyand ap pealed to the Speaker to prevent this reca pitulation, -which the Speaker decided against him, .' Sir G. Grey went on to say that many difficulties oE the kind were sore to tnraup.. The tact was that members of the Govt. took turn and tarn about they got rest and by that means they pushed through their measures by mere dint of subterfuge. Such conduct on'the part of the Government was most reprehensible and unfair to the conn try. He was opposed to the- bill, and agreed with the objections stated by Mr Ballance. If any .difficulty aro3e on the West Coast it would have to be grappled with at once, eveh although funds were squandered away. There must be no rallying 01 prolonged warfare. It was the salratioa of both races that this.course should be followed. la that case, this was not a time to reduce, as proposed by the bill, taxation. Iv committee he would propose such alteration as would transform the bill to one of a property tax on land. "MrMACAHDKEW was opposed to the principle of the Bill, but inasmuch as it proposed to mitigate the evil, he would sup port it. He also blamed the Government for Irregularities in the way they conducted business. Mr GISBORNB would also support the bill but did so only because at this period of the session, he saw no chance of making material alterations, however much they might be desired. "Mr J.T. Fisher would not support the Bill, as the principle of the Bill wai cmsh ing life blood out of the colony. Major Atoinsos said it seemed to him the Honse was iv possession of all the sur rounding facts connected with the Bill, and he would only be raking up time unnecessarily. He defended the mode of taxation proposed by the bill as the best for reaching rich men, \ The latter class was paying at present £42,000, where, under an income tax at 6d, they would npt con tribute more, than £12,000. He. .disputed that they were in a critical condition as serted by Mr Sauadere, expressing his opinion that they might have [gone even further than they had done on borrowing money. The motion for second reading was put and carried. The House adjourned at 12.5. AUCKLAND COLLEGE BILL. The Auckland University College Bill, which passed through Committee on Friday last but which was rendered null by a count out, has been restored to the order paper. CLAIM FOE VOLUNTEER SCRIP. MrToLE presented a petition to-day from Wm. Mumford, of Newmarket,> claim for volunteer scrip. PROPERTY TAX. The -Property Tax Bill passed second reading to-day with very little debate. Great complaints were made at the late period at which the finaniiil measures have been brought down, THE TROUBLE ON THE PLAJNS. . J have just seen the Native Minister, who tells' me there is no fresh news from the coast to-day, He does not believe that the Association telegram of Te Whiti's speech is a correct one. Telegrams from Col. Roberts and others last night state that the meaning of thp speech is exaggerated, and'that an attempt at a scare lias been made. The Government, intend to ask for full power to deal with any emergency that may arise. I have seen a private telegram from Nbrmanby, which cays the attitude-of the natives is very threaten ing, arid that the natives are dnvipg off cows and damaging private property. _ _ T&ere is little chancy of the session closing now this week. CUSTOMS BILL. Major Atkinson, in moving the second reading of the Customs and Excise Bill, intimated the willingness of the Govern ment to abandon the clauses relating to distillation, if the House wished it. They were only introduced on the recommenda tion of the Local Industries Committee, and it was too late in the session to fully discuss them. Ihe debate is proceeding.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

A iPAINFrJIi accident happened to Mr Charles Bailey, at his shipbuilding yard, this morning. He was engaged in putting a pohutakawa knee through the circular sawj when the wood slipped, and his left hand became caught by the teeth of the saw, causing several very serious cuts and bruises on his fingers. George Moore, one of the employe's, went to his assistance, and, at the request of Mr Bailey they were about proceeeding to wards Queen-street in search of a doctor, when the sulferei became faint and returned to the shed. A cab was promptly obtaine d and Mr Bailey was convoyed to the house of Dr Hooper, where kU injuries were at tended to. It was found necessary to put him under chloroform, and to amputate the second linger by the second joint. The third digit was a good deal cut about, and others suffered, but it is hoped that he will only suffer the loss of the one. From the doctor's Mr Bailey was taken to his private residence, from whence we hear that ho is ai well as could be ox. pectcd under the circumstances.

BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

A special meeting of the Grammar School Board of Governors for the purpose of receiving tho report of the sub-committee appointed to cuter into arrangements with the present masters of the school was held this morning. Present: The Mayor (in the chair), Col. Haultain, Rev C. M. Nelson, and Mr T. Peacock.

The report was 'as follows :—Tho committee, after conferring with the acting Head-master, have agreed to the following propositions:—(l). That the maatora be engaged to toaoh 25 hours weekly, at suoh terms as may be required by the Board.—(2). That when oalled upon by the Board they ahull taxo oharge of evening classes without any additional remuneration, beyond the feeß received from the studonta.—(3). That three months notice of the termination of tho engagement be required on either sido.— (iL That the masters be divided inio (trades na follows — The Ist, those receiving £100 a year; 2nd, those rocelving S3OO to £350 a year; 3rd, thoso receiving £250 a year; 4th, those receiving £150 to J3200 a year. That, as a rule, promotion from one grade to another, and not increase of salary, Bball be the reward of good and eftlolent sorvioo. Promotion to be invariably by seleotion and on tho reccom. mendation of the Headmaster.—(s.) Jfhoueeac commadation ia provided for any of the masters tho board may require that such master shall take boarders at rates to be flxoi by the Board. —(6) A special arrangement to bo made with tho Frenoh Master, who gives only half hia time to the Grammar Sohool.it ho is required to teaoh an evening claaß.— (l) As it appears there are now four evening classes besides the Frenohclass, averaging about ten students, each attending twice a-weok for one hour's instruction each time, and that these students apply chiefly for elementary instruction only, the Committee recommend that one master should take the whole of the olassesfor two hours every evening except Saturday, and be employed in the fore noons only at the eohool. They have reason to believe that Mr Nicholls could satisfactory per form this daty, and they recommend that his salary be made up to £200 per annum if the fees paid by the students do not raise it to that amount. Should there be a class of students desiring instruct'on in the higher subjeots of education, ihey miKht be formed into a separate olass under one of the other masters. With regard to the evening classes, the Committee suggest for the consideration of the Board the following proDositions in case the above is not approved of:—Kither that a special master out side the ordinary staff be employed for tho evening olasses only, or that tho students re quiring elementary instruction only Bhoald attend Mr Worthington's classes, Mr Worthing ton reoeiving 3 subsidy from the Board of Governors. A list of the present staff and a draft form of agreement are appended:— Present staff arranged according to proposed grades.—lst grade: MrSloman, and Mr Ander son, £100 ; and £50 evening class; 2nd grade: Meßsrs Gulliver and Morrison, £350 eaoh, and Mr Tonißon, £3O; 3rd grade: Mr Tomlinson, £2c9, and Mr Eobertson, £250; and £50 evening class ; 4th grado, Mr Nioholla, £150: Fronoh master, (Mr Lennox), half-time only, £150 and £50 evening class.

The Chairman suggested that the clauses should be taken seriatim.—Mr Peacock preferred to consider them collectively. The object kept in view in appointing the Com mittee was simply to gnard against a possible dispersion of the present staff at the expiration of their term of notice. The Committee had indicated the means by which a satisfactory agreement could be entered iuto, and it might now be held over for consideration until the headmaster arrived. Present engagements could be ex tended on the understanding that were any masters to be dispensed with sufficient notice should be given.— Colonel Baultain did not think that the masters should be kept any longer in a state of uncertainty, and besides he thought it preferable that the headmaster should enter upon his work with a staff definitely con tracted with.—The Chairman pointed out that the arrangements would be susceptible to alteration if, after consultation with the headmaster, alterations were deemed requisite.—At the request of Colonel Haul tain, the resolution appointing the Com mittee was read. It authorised them to make arrangements with the masters.— After some further discussion it was tacitly agreed to review the clauses seriatim first, and to decide at the close wbat should be done With regard to them.—The alternative propositions with regard to the teaching of the evening classps were struck out pro visionally, in favour of the recommendation that Mr Nicholls shall take over the entire charge of them. It was resolved to submit the terms of agreement for the opinion ot the Board's solicitor, and that a special meeting be held to-morrow morning for the purpose of further considering them. Miscellaneous.—A letter was received from the Governor's Private Secretary intimating tbat the paddock at the rear of Government House might be used during the next six months as a playground by the boys of the Grammar School.—The Chairman explained that this letter bad been sent in consequence of a deputation having waited upon Bis Excellency prior to his departure for Fiji. At: that interview he was disinclined to relieve the Governors of the responsibility of providing a proper playground, but agreed to grant the temporary use of the paddock, though no one imagined that it would .be for so limited a terra. The Secretary waß directed to make the customary acknowledgement.—Upon the recommenda tion of Mr Sloman, some slight repairs at the Grammar School were authorised, and leave given for a week's holiday com mencing on Monday,. October 3. A reported threat from" some residents ot Graf ton Road to break open the Grammar School gates if kept closed on Sundays was disregarded. The Board then adjourned.

The case was dismissed, the presiding justice (the Key. Mr Scott) having a few hot words at the close with the chief officer ot. police, who con. ducted the prosecution. As the latter was drawing the attention of tho Bench to the nature of the evidence, the presiding Justice stopped him in art abrupt manner and said, " Who authorised you to tell us our duty? Ido not know why you should presume to get up and teach three magistrates what is their duty. I know my duty well, aud am not going ;o be dictated to by you." A second charge >f larceny, of £3 5«, was brought against Stehr, the case being that he got an order made out in Bell's name* and used the order to pay his own private account with.

SACRED CONCERT.

A SACBED concert was held last evening in the Beresford-street Church in celebration of the opening of the now gallery, and Aea. pite the highly imfavourable state of the weather there was a very large attendance of the public. So far as the performers were concerned the elements seemed to have had very little deterrent effect, [for both band and chorus mustered in such strength that the stage was crowded to excess, and the merest change of position upon it became a matter of some difficulty. In consequence of this many of the soloists were "obliged to submit to the com parative disadvantage of singing from places beyond the harmonium. The programme wa3 ' composed princi pally of choice selections from well known oratorios, such an "Elijah," "Mes siah," "St. Paul," and "Judas Macca bceus," and the singers and instrumenta lists were for the most part recognised per forming members of the Choral Society. The prevailing humidity of the atmosphere seemed to have affected the voices of several of the soloists, but tho general effect was thoroughly satisfactory, while the band acquitted itself very creditably indeed. After prayer had boon offered up by Kov. J, Robertson tbe concert was opened with the "Gloria" from Mozart's 12th Mass, played by the band. The execution was good. The singing of the flrat chorus, "And the Glory," (Mcssiah),scrved to demonstrate the predominating power of the basses, but with the exception of some uncertainty among the sopranos in the higher notes,the morceau was capitally rendered. Of the re« maining choruses, the " Hallelujah" (Mes siah), was the best, and the one from St. Paul, "How Lovely," the weakest; it had evidently been insufficiently rehearsed. The chorale, "Sleepers Awake," (St. Paul,) was only fairly given. The few concerted selections were interspersed with the solos and choruses, and of them the most meritorious was the duet " The Sea of Glass,"contributedby the Misses Marbrook. It was sung in a subdued manner, and with great taste. The " Prayer" from " Moses in Egypt " was given by Misses Sampson and Gee, and Messrs Warner and Harker, but one of the singers seemed to be rather tremulous, and the effect was to some ox tent marred. The other quartette, "Cast the Burden" ("Elijah"), by Mrs Taylor, Miss Gee, and Messrs Harker was some what better rendered, as, of course, its greater simplicity would load ono to expect. Miss Spry is rapidly improving as a vocalist. Her singing of " Too Late," although sus ceptible of improvement in the matter of accentuation, was marked by careful expres sion, and much feeling, and she well merited the applause that was accorded. Mr Ryan tang, "Arm, Arm, Ye Brave," ("Judas Maccabteus '') but ho was not in very good voice, and the declamation of the recitative especially suffered in consequence. In the solo, however, he was heard to more effect, although even it was not comme il faut. Miss Hajlessang the pretty solo " Charity," and for one so young, sang it fairly too. i Her voice is light and immature, and a habit of singing with head bent over- the music did not afford it full opportunity for display. Of thesolos in-the second part of the programme Mias Tait's " O Rest in the Lord " (" Elijah"), and Mr Brett's " Why do the Nations" ("Messiah") were un deniably the best. The lady has a clear contralto voice of excellent compass in the lower register and worthy of careful cultivation. She sang pleasingly. The solo and baps cHorus "Nazareth," with violincello obligato, were much enjoyed. Mr G. Smythe was the soloist, and his vocalization was Rood, though in this respect the effect would have been enhanced had he but opened bis mouth with more freedom instead of allowing bis voice to be muffled by the partial closing of teeth and lips. A duet, " Even tide," by Mi?s and Mr Spry, was rendered passably, while several hymns were sung by both chorus and audience. The concert altogether was very agreeable, and considering the difficulties and ' trouble connected with the preparations for it, both conductor (Mr J, Brown) and organist (Mr J. P. Hooton) deserve great praise for the achievement of so successful a result. In announcing the unavoidable absence of Mrs Revitt, who was to have sung the solo " Resignation," tho Rev. Mr Robertson took occasion to convey to the performers the cordial thanks_of the con gregation for their generous assistance, and also to express the hope that the concert would be repeated. The audience ap plauded most heartily both sentiments.

SMALL-POX AND VACCINA TION.

The local Board of Health have received the following communication from Dr. Stockwell (District Health Officer), in reply to an intimation of the Board's resolve to countermand the order for the inoculated calf:—" Auckland, September 17th, 1881. Sir,—-In acknowledging your letter of the 16th inst. informing me that thelocal Board of Health had determined to defer action as to obtaining a supply of vaccine lymph " de novo" by inoculation of a heifer with small-pox matter, I have the honour to request you to submit to the local Board of Health that I respectfully acquiesce in their determination, feeling that the tone of opposition taken by the press and its influence on the minds of the public render tbe step now not desir able. At the same time I would beg you to lay before the Board, for their information, tho following authoritative statements by great medical writers. Dr, Jenner.the dis coverer of vaccine, states, as quoted by Dr. Churchill, that his fundamental proposition "That cow-pox and small-pox aro iden tical and not dissimilar," is proved by " Human small-pox being communicated to the cow by inoculation, producing a mild form of the disease, and, if matter be taken from these pustules and applied to a human being, a disease identical with cow-pox-will result, (i.e. vaccine)." Dr. Churchill also states, " experiments have confirmed this." Dr. Erasmus Wilson, the present President of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, gives in his work on diseases of the skin the following facts as established with others : "The transmission by inoculation of tho small-pox to cattle and the consequent development of cow-pox in these animals." " The transmission by inoculation of the cow-pox to man and the consequent develop ment ot the vaccine pock of the cow," recommends the "recurrence to the primary lymph from the cow as the only unobjectionable method of improving the current lymph and correcting deterioration which has arisen from neglect of Jenner's precepts." He says also : "Lymph from this source must necessarily be pure."—l am, sir, yours, _c., Wm. Stockwell. P. A. Phillips, Esq., Town Clerk.

The shareholders of the advance lease, Tiki, have resolved not to form a Company at presont merely employing two men far a month, to inspect the ground. Mr H. H.
