The Representation Bill, providing for a distribution of scats upon a population basis, is the absorbing political topic in Wellington. "We learn from out special reporter that orders have been sent to supply all Chairmen of Highway Boards with copies of the proposed new districts. The 'Chairmen had better apply at the Survey Office if they wish to get them 'quickly. ' The 'districts are all arranged, so as to be co-tcrmiuous with the boundaries of boroughs and -road boards. The lie distribution Bill will > split parties, .and: has again raised a ,cry: for the separation of the two Islands, owing to the preponderating vote obtained by the South Island, which receives six aew mem ber?, against one gainedby the North Island, Southern members - denounce vehemently any increase of representation on the Maori population basis, by which the North would, gain. Otago and Canter bury complain especially that if" they had been alone they' would have been richer and stronger. Auckland members reply; that the South, and not the North, caused the native trouble", but the Southerners repudiate this. There will be a hard fight. Nelson and Westlaud will probably go with the North, but there ■is no ' knowing how Taranaki and Hawkes' Bay, with part of Well ington, will vote, Bnt for the public works- expenditure much less' importance would be attached to inaular divisions; but with!'the fact staring us in the face that Southern influence-has already secured the expenditure of £6,470,877 on railway*, out of colonial loans, against £2,932,813 spent I in-the North Island, it must be confessed I that a feeling of alarm at the prospect of a [large increase in the voting power of the I South island is not unwarranted..

A_T"a meeting of the Board of Education on Friday, the subject of examination for standards was brought up, when Mr Goldie movedijj" That it be, the duty of-.thS la epectors of Education, as Boon as possible after each examination for standards in thb various public schools under tUe Board, to furnish to every head-teacher, who shall in • turn.supply to any: parent asking. : for -the same, information as., to the particular branch or branches of study in which such pupil' -or pupils have failed."? After some diacuasion the 'motion was negatived. -This "■ matter: :was ' before the Board on *'&''''previous occasion, When a school-committee complained of the re fusal to furnish the information to a parent In : Onekunga. ; The,, explanation -then offered- was that the applicant could be satisfied by applying to the teacher. Mr Goldie, in proposing his motion, said he had received other complaints of a similar character in which the teacher, had been either unable or unwilling to supply the information sought for. <■ What are we to infer-.from this unaccountable desire for | mystery 1 If a boy fails in an examination, surely it is right that parents should be told by the teacher what branches the lad is deficient in, so that more attention may, be paid to those . parts of his study. The regulation proposed under Mr Goldie'sflmotion is more important and far reaching than appears at first glance, and we cannot understand on what grounds it is being resisted. We do hope, however, that the mover will bring it forward again, if only to give members opposed to it a chance of explaining their reasons for refusing to parents such reasonable knowledge con cerning the progress and deficiencies of their children. - . > i

The heavy westerly gale blowlDg to-day and causing vessels to grind and strain against the wharf, has moved ship owners to exertion. A memorial is beiug prepared .praying the Harbour- Board to construct Ts so that vessels .may berth end on. It is a wonder that the Board have not done this before. To their neglect is due very serious damage, and according to the opinion of experienced nautical men, the total loss of more than one vessel which, leaving port after straining at the wharf, have never been Heard of again. Insurance ' com panies, are interested with shipmaster* in. securing the' proposed work, and we have no doubt the memorial will be readily signed by the whole mercantile community. Those who question its necessity should go down the wbatf to-day, and their hesitancy will scon disappear. ■ j

A case of some importance to the mining people will be heard at the Thames War deu's Court to-morrow. TheplaintiffisMr Mr Adam Porter nnd the defendants Messrs McCombie' and Lee. In 1879, tho defendants were out prospecting in tho Waihi district, and pegged olf three leases which are now contained'within the licensed holdings of theMnrtha and Waihi Goldmin iugCompanies. According to alate'decision of the Warden, the -first pegger out of ground is the legal holder till dispossessed by a process of law. The case has been brought on.behalf of the present holders— the Martha and Waihi Uoldmining Com* panics and others.

Considerable excitement was caused on 'Change to-day by the posting of the follow ing telegram from the Tokatea directors :— "Gold stmck inNo7.level this morning; Reef improving every shift.—W. HORNK.'r The long low level tunnel, which has been many years in progress, has only, just cleared the Bismarck ground and entered the Tokatea when this important announce* mentis made. Of course tho shareholders are very jubilant, because at a conf sidorable distance from the. boundary the reef was tested by a winze from the upper workings, and carried rich gold down. The inference is, therefore, as stated by our correspondent, that tbo Com: pany have an enormous area of gold-bearing country before them, which will Tevire the heavy dividend-paying days of this long quicscent mine. The effect of the news was immediately observable in tho quota tions, which jumped from buyors at 11s to buyers at 16s. • '

At the last meeting of the Senate of the University of New Zealand, heldatSVel lingtbn in February, it was resolved that a day be appointed by the Chancellor in the month of August for the presentation of diplomas to graduates of tho University in all the chief centres of population through out the colony. Accordingly, Monday next, August 15tb, has been appointed by: the, Chancellor for the presentation, and he has requested' Bishop Cowie, a member of the: Senate, to act for him in this mattor,, making. all the necessary arrangements! We are requested by the Bishop to announco that the presentation will take placo in the Choral Hall (by the kind permission of the Committee) at 4 o'clock on that day, when all wlio'are interested in the higher educa tion'of tlie colony are invited to attend.

On passing High! street, it was discovered that Mr Grigg had misinterpreted the Maori who had lost his dog, and could not tell where to nnd hirm He seemed exceedingly angry, and ■imme diately; assumed a hostile position,,, but several persons who were on the spot, showed' the native that they intended to protect the old man from injury,, and the native pursued his course in quest of bis dog.

The aggregate value is £1,500, and it is intended to dispose of the goods on the art union principle, there being 263 prizes, while the charge for tickets is £5 each. Messrs Upton and Co. are the agents from whom catalogues or tickets may be obtained.

To the Editor : Sir,—lt was with regret that I read in Saturday's Stab of the pro bability that the new Savings' Bank .would be built of Tasmanian stone. It is a pity to benefit a neighbouring colony at our own loss, seeing there is such grand stone in New .Zealand as the Oamaru stone, which can be worked so easily, looks so beautiful, and hardens with exposure. A tender has lately been accepted for finishing the front cf the new Parliament Houses, Melbourne. There were three stones named for this work, namely, Oamaru, Tasmanian, and Stawell (Victorian}. The last was the one selected, and the tender was about £200,000. The Oamaru stone is freely used in Mel bourne, both by itself and as a relief to darker stone. In Sydney it is also exten sively nsed, and Dunedin also possesses a number of splendid buildings built with it. Wherever it is used it gives great satisfac r tion, and I should like to see it introduced into Auckland.'' Apologising for trespassing

ARREST OF A DOCTOR AT FEATHERSTON.

Charged xvith Scalding a JtSaby

to Death.

[By Telegraph.—Pkess Association.] !

WELLINGTON, Saturday. I An . imjuest was held at Featherston on Thursday as to the death of an infant child of Mathew Cave of Toronga, near Featherstou. ■ The' circumstances con: nected with the death are" somewhat peculiar, and are as follow :—On the 22nd of July a child was born without showing signs Of life.. : Both Dr Michael Hunrathy, who was in attendance, and Mm Hender son, -jthe nurse, tr,ied the usual expedients in such cases, with the view of causing the child to cry,' but these were unsuccess ful. In accordance with the doctor's instructions a.jug of..boiling water wds then produced,' Dr ' Hanrathy being informed that there was a supply of cold water in tho room" in' case he required it. Covering the infant With towels, the doctor poured the hot water over its body. This appears to have bad the desired effect, for the child instantly began to cry. According to several witnesses DrHanrathy was asked if the water would not blister the child, to which;he simply said " No;" but he was not observed-to-teat the temperature of the waterj It was next Closely wrapped iii flannels, which were removed some hours! subsequently, when the infant was one mass of blisters, and for several days was subject to convulsive fits. Vive days after its birtn the nurae -noticed that one of the child's legs appeared to be mortifying, The, sinews were contracted and the, leg,was diawn up, while the flesh was quite black, and covered 'with'blisters.; The doccor prescribed an ointment to be applied to the sores, Death ensued on the morning of the Ist instant, Dr. Hanrathy certifying the cause of death, to have, been,convulsions. The police heard of the circumstances shortly after the interment. of the child, and at once had the body exhumed. When the inquest was hold the jury returned a verdict that death resulted from a severe scalding, owing to the use of :water which was above trie temperature safe for a child of that age. The jury also holds that neglect had been shown by the others in foiling to obtain professional services, or those of some other medical man for the child at an earlier period. Yester day Dr Hunrathy was arrested on a charge of manslaughter, ana will bo , tried at Feathergton on Monday next.

"Akrah-Na-Pogue" was performed on Saturday orening to a capital house. - The representation was one of great merit, and the audience, by frequent and very hearty plaudits, gave expression to their entire satisfaction with it. Boucicault'a dramas are too well known", to" call for any explanation of their plots, and "Arruh na-Pdgue" is certainly one of the most popular and pleasing of them, It has..maintained its place in the stage repertoire, and never fails to command the appreciation of play-goers. On Saturday evening Mies Marston Leigh sustained the i6le of Airah Meelish, Mr James Garden that of Shuun tho Post, and Miss Jenny Watt Tanner that of Fanny Power. These word' finished portraitures, j Miss Leigh played her part with delightful "naivete"," and infused into it an amount of emotional /feeling which / quite■ ef faced : for the time the ■ individu ality.. ~, 0f,..- the "actress. Mr Carden'e Bhaun, wa» equally good of its kind. The gentleman is singularly well qualified for ( the.iinpersOEatiou of 'Hibernian charac 'ter,'and iaip assumption of the. rollicking, Hght-hoartcd, and patriotic Irish peasant will/nfcit Sobn" bofofgotten by those who had the privilege ot Bebinjj it. Tho ".Wearing of the Green " was effectively sung. Miss Tanner's Fanny.Power was graceful,- lady like, and,unaffected,: Mr Arthur" Elliott made a capital] Colonel O'Grady, and Mr J. J. Welsh a successful Alnjor Coffin, while Mr J. P. West garc proof or unquestionable histrionic ability" "in. Iris delineation or Michael Feeney, the .villain of the drama; Mr James O'Brieh's Beamish McCoul, Mr Gerald Dillon's Giny Farrell, and Mr Xachlan McGowan's Wi'nterliottVni also deserve complimentary recognition. Miai Maggie Knight played a small part very effectively,-, and ' danced aT jig- with suph acceptance that the audience insisted on its repetition;' The .'burlesque of ]'' Macbeth, 'f which'followed).proved, a highly successful divertissement, The parts had beets allotted with much discrimination, and they wor^ spiritedly enacted. The great sensational 'drama1 ''':>!-' !(' r "AFTER DARK , ' is announced for presentation to-night, and shouldprove an unfailing draw. ' The plot is complicated and is worked out with con siderable ingenuity, the situations are strong and intensely dramatic, and there is a full stage of characters. An attempted suicide followed by a gallant rescue, a London music hall with its1 varied assem blage of the types of humanity to be found in a large city, a dastardly endeavour to poison and rob, and the fiendish atrocity (though "mercifully denied its intended consummation) of binding a man across a railway line, are the salient incidents of the play. ; Their adequate effect can only be imperfectly conceived by one who has not witnessed their performance upon the stagei The play has a happy ddnoiiement.' Miss Leigh will appear as Eliza, and Mr Carden as" Old Tom,"-while Miss Maggie Knight will sing a song. Special scenery, has' been - painted and ■ complete mechanical effects prepared in order to render it as ■ natural: as possible. The' season ends on Friday evening, and on Saturday evening Mr Fred Marshall, the celebrated low comedian, will appear in his great creation of Charley Spraggs in, '• Blow for Blow." In this, and his other role of Quilp, he is without the shadow of a doubt "facile princeps." Ho is said to be unapproachable in his particular line, and the public of Auckland may certainly con gratulate themselves of the chance of seeing and judging for themselves. Mr De Lias' enterprise in making that possible ought to receive its fitting recompense

FOOTBALL MATCHES.

AUCKLAND AND .NORTH bHOKE V. PONSONBY AljfD GRAFTON^ : I This" match, between two sixteens selected from the above Clubs^took place on Satur day afternoon oa the-: Domain cricket ground.' ■ It was contested with groat spirit by botihsideß from the kick-off (which, by tko by, was disgracefully late, not taking place till 3.40 p.m., instead of 2.45, as' it ought to have/ done) till the cry of " Np sMo.-".-, While undoubtedly each mau did his beat, it could not but .be noticed that the mixing of Clubs spoils the play to a great extent. There may be as'much or more individual, excellence on the part of, a few men," but* at' 'the. same time theffHs little|or no combination, that great desidera tum! in .football.; iThernns.of White, Mar tin, and Whiteside were really good,- and deserved better backing upi than they re ceived,' so,' when Biggs on two Occasions played the. ball,clear through the opposin* forwards, "he was.not properly followed .by hia fellow-players. It was a decided mis take placing Burgess »nd McGechie half back for their side, as they rare too-! heavy and slow for the. position on a wet day. I venture to, say.,., that'had J. Sibbiu been in. Burgess', place,', in .the third term he could have dropped a goal, and would at least have tried to,'iuetead of Attempting to tear through a double row of forwards, to ratlin. Just before the first term closed T. Henderson ran in and touched down for the Auckland and North ■Shore, and D. Lynch kicked a goal from the try. Loud cries of "off side" were raised by the spectators, against Henderson, but as there were two well known players acting as umpires, it is safe to say, the : onlookera wWe'in the wrong. It was not till the last live minutes that any more scoring was done. At this time the A. and N.S. got the leather into their opponents "25," when one of their backs tpok a shot at t'oal, which missed, bat Sims following well up, the ball bounced too high for, Braund to reach properly, "though he could just touch it, and so put Sims "on Bide" when the latter touched down; i The try at goal was a poor one, as he waited till the forwards . were right on him, . and smothered his kick. I must not clobo without giving a meed of praise to the backs of both sides,.who col lared very well all day—Whiteside and Braund for the losers, and Bindon and J. Webster for the victors. Next, Saturday the team who.are to represent ius against Waikato will play "all comers" on the Domain ground; Players who are willing to go to Waikato will oblige .by sending in their names to Mr T.

DEATH OF MRS. EVITT.

Mrs. Evitt, mother of Mr George Evitt; gunmaker,, died suddenly last, evening at Newton in tho ,60tb year of her age. Mrs Evitt had been to Ponsonby to pass a few hours with some friends, and on returning to her home was seized with the illness, which proved fatal. She had reached Karangahape Road, near the. reservoir, when she fell, and was at once assisted into the house of Mr Carlaw, at tho reservoir. Mr Carlaw immediately sent for. Dr Purchas, who at once attended and found that death had intervened. Con stables Strathern and Clarke procured a conveyance and took tho body of deceased to the house of Mr Evitt, her son-, in Upper Queen-street. It appears that Mrs Evitt had been suffering from heart disease,' and hnd been lor some time under the medical care ot Dr Pbilson, and it is conjectured that this was the cause of death. Dr Phil son held a post mortem examination this afternoon on the body, and, having discovered that death resulted from heart disease, he gave a certificate to that effect, thus rendering an inquest unnec cessary. Mrs Evitt was a very old resident of Auckland, and her husband, for some years, was the Government armourer.'

The friends of the Primitive Methodist Sunday-school, Alexandra-street, are about to give the Servioe of Song " The Start in Life," on behalf of the improvement to building fund.

In the Theatre Koyal the effect would have been more agreeable, and the vocal ability of the youthful artistes demonstrated to greater advantage. ' The volume of sound produced by a full orchestra in a hall of such limited dimensions. as that of Lome-street. is lotid! enough to drown many of the more delicate strains and obscure those harmonic grace? by s which' the ear" is ravished and the' critical taste satisfied ; but when ■: there is ' united with the instrumentation a' numerous choir of fresh and shrill young voices, the clamour must be almost deafening to the near est auditors. It waa so on Saturday evening.: The operapofcsessesi a pretty and romantic plot,:and the characters -represented in.it'l .include-the droll, jthe crafty, and lovable, while , the music, despite ■ the • disadvan-' tageous circumstances under which "it"was heard, is very takine.

It to, we understand, the handiwork of a lady,residing in Parnell, and is remarkable' for the happy combination of colours and the refinement in execution which it displays. The price at which It is labelled is tfxceedinßly moderate, when we take into consideration the amount ol.patlent labour that must hare been expended on it, to say nothing of the materials used.. We have only seen two similar screens in tho colony—both at Uunedlh-one of which which waß sold for £30, and the other was dis posed of by art union'for SSfS; and neither of •

MR iBRADL&ttGH'S CONTENTION

(To the Editor.)

It was'bat'ftß of her dtty,that our-representatiVe^at ,'Wd lingtoh passed with applause an affirmation bill, to remove1 in *I;liis coloiiy the same t* l igious disabilities aa Mr Bradlaugh is cofi" tending against.' The Legislative Council' that'incubus on our representative Govern' ment, however,-threw the bill out. I think Mr Bradlangh is entitled to great credit for the indomitable courage he has shewn in fighting, [against odds, such a great battle, almost, single handed. But, never, thclcss if you, sir, are in possession of any facts against his moral: character -and I think your remark implies, as much—y'im should publish them for the joint benefit fit those who admire him- and those who detest:l 'him.l -The. revelation would cool the 'admiration of" the one and intensify the hate^ of thei? p^. ■But if it is pnly his well-known sin ofiinl belief—■ Ah i-I well! that is now bo: common less, or move amongst intelligent • persons ,that. ttiejr only jdifier from Mr. JBradlaugn in degree; and 1 mil only add, let him Wflbfis without that sin amongst you cast the first stone at him.—Yours, &c, -; ima A.

MR EWINGTON ON "SWARMING."

Sm,—l*noticed'in your paper of Saturday that tho above gentleman ;in his speech oa the intelligence of bees speaks of the Irish people.thus:" If the Irish people would go "■■ further afield, ha the' "bees^do, they .would soon remedy.'>,theirogrievance and1; .byisr- f : crowding.I'--In the beginning of the'pieaeipt >. century.- befoW "^Kepeal of the Union," '; rlrerand. had a populfltion of 8,000,000.

Mr Ewington/ords thaflbver of Ireland, the "Daily Times," said at trie time, "The Irish are, going with a vengeance! 11 Ireland over-e'rowded I • Such a ''statement is- absurd, as I' wilt plainly show.■ For instance, take''little Belginm,: •: extent iin square ; miles 11,412;" population in 1871, 5,087,105. Ireland,-extent ■ in- square miles 31,817, ' population in 1871 5,402/759.

At that rate if Ireland had a population of 10,000,000, she would not ha j over peopled, whereas she only counts one half that number. '■''"'lt'-is very-easy, Mr Ewington, to find put trie differences exist ing between the two countries referred to. In Ireland, they have a great number, of drones, such as Lapstowne,. and the Duke of Leinstcr, who suck all the; honey, and ; leave the _com.b)to'tnerbusy bees, and if ;they;dare;lift their voices:against such a -share, the drones^ assisted by the Govern ment, 'kick' them out of the hives; that.is in direct opposition1 to; your theory.

The causes are various as well as numerous—two or three may, suffice at present. The practice, of . smoking among our youths is a bad'one, and very injurious to health; also the habit of daily consuming- so much animal food is one worst of all is the,least, suspected one, that is hurrying, as it were, young and old to a premature grave, viz, the fine white bread in daily use! No wonder children and young people are infested with worms. J -The flour from which the bread is made to .; please the c.ye and the palate, is of necessity deprived, of its nutriment in manufacturing, and, therefore, comparatively speaking, almost unfit for human food.
