For the cnuse that lacks atsiilance, For the wrong that needs resbtsoc For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

It is incumbent on the Government to purge itself, by the immediate application of some drastic measure, of any appearanco of in difference to the charges of'wholesale robberies which have been brought by the natures at Parihaka against membeis of the Aimed Coastauulary who were engaged in searching their house?. The Duke of Wellington used to deal with such offences in a very summary and most effcc.ual way—marching the offenders out at day light } and executing them, as a warning to their comrades. Mr Bryco is fond of heroic remedies; will ho venture npon that! He hasan unquestionable precedent. But without looking for an authority in the severe discipline of the "Iron Duke," the offence with which these constables stand charged is one or the most heinous known to the criminal calen dar—robbery under arms; and a Govern* meat which professes so strong a determina tion to make the natives understand that the law must be obeyed had better clear its own character of the suspicion of wink ing at the commission of these crimes, which, if perpetrated at all, hare been perpetrated under cover of a Government order to break into the native houses. The accusations are bo specific that the mere questioning of the constabulary, and search of their tents, will not satisfy the public of their innocence. Without throwing any discredit on the force as a whole, we know that there are men in it who are anything but saints. The specific charges made by the natives were investigated by our reporter personally and he reports that,in reply to questions put by him, he ascertained that "£3OO is the estimate of the natives' money lost. One woman says that her purse was taken, the contents of which were £9 in notes, 4 sovereigns, and a half-sovereign, 6 shillings in silver, and two receipts for money paid. The gold solitaires were removed from her cuffs, and several greenstone-pendants from her satchel. Turire, of Wanganui, lost £35 from his box, and the meerschaum pipe of Whareko was taken before his eyes as he sat in his whare, and no notice taken of his remonstrance. Manga lost two green stone meres. Ameri missed two of the same weapon;; Reno has only been deprived of one. Ameiria has lost money also. Karaiti missed her brooch and locket at. tached to a gold chain. In fact, the depreda tions are too numerous to particularise." Now there is too much detail about these charges for anyone not interested in conceal ing them to doubt that they have some foundation. The course which the Camp authorities are in duty bound to pursue is therefore plain. Let them assemble all the constables engaged in the search, and then bring forward the Maories who allege they have lost property. Those of the natives who allege that they saw tho deed dono outfit be able to identify some of the offenders; and at any rate, it would prove to them, if it did nothing more, a real desire on the part of tho Government to punish all such crimes, whether committed by European or Native. The example of wholesale theft, committed With impuDity, is about the worst that could be placed before these people, as the settlers from whom they subsequently take " utu" will find out. The charge of plun- Joriugthc Maori potato pits and killing their pigs has been proved against one corps of volunteers, and yet the only punishment awarded was the removal of their camp. We do not hesitate to say that the corps ought to have been instantly disbanded and Sent back in disgrace to the place from whence they came. The Government is as fully bound to take instant action with re fereoce to these charges iv vindication of its own honour and the good reputation of the main body of our forces at Parihaka as in tho interests of justice.

Blank Warrants.

A coeeespondent of onr morning contem porary telegraphs from the WaimatePlains that: "It is asserted here that29o warrants hare been prepared, with the names lett

blank, to bo filled in as occasion demands.'' Now if there is any truth in this statement, and recent authoritative breachos of the law compel us to think that there may be, it its high timo that tho people of this colony subjects of the British Cfown» and inheri tors of the liberties and rights for which their forefathers fought and died—paused to inquire when and whero tho lawless actions of Mr Bryoe aro going to stop. To read of " blank warrants " at this lato period in tho history of the English people is certainly be wildering. Wo have surely gone back ft century or so, and are living over again tho dark days which wo fondly thought wero past and gono for evor. The whole ques tion as to the legality of blank or general warrants was definitely sot- in the year 1763, when John Wukes and a number of others weft) arrested on ono. It will sttrve 0 mtoful purpose to recall the circumstances, which aro generally esteemed of such importance as to bo related in greater or less detail in all tho historical te&t-books. John Wilkes, in the year abov* mentioned, soverely cen- Burcd in bte journal, the " North Briton," a speech from tho throne delivered at tl<e opening of Parliament. The Government, considering it a libel, as no doubt it wan, caused Lord Halifax, Secretary of State, to issue a warrant against "tho authors^ printers, and publishers of this seditious libel." . Forty-nino persons, including several who were quite innocent of any connection with the affair, were arrested, uud the papCra of many of them seized at the same time. Wilkes asserted his privilege as a Member of Parlia ment, and was released. Ho at once brought tho question to an issue beforo tho Court of Common Pleas, and the romaindor of the arrested wero at once set at liberty. Lord Chiel Justice Pratt held that the general warrant was illegal; that it was illegally executed ; and that the messengers wero not indemnified by statute. In his summing up ho made theso weighty remarks j—" Tho defendant claimed a tight, under precedents, to force persons' houses, break open escritoires, and seizo their papers, upon a general warrant, whero no inventory is mado of tho things thus taken away, and where no offenders' i names aro specified in tbo warrant, and therefore, a discretionary power given to mossongcrs to uoarch wherever their sus picions may chanoo to fall. If such a powor is truly invested in a Secretary of State, aiid he can dolegate this power, it cortainly may affect the peraon and property of evor.y man in this kingdom, and is totally subversive of the liberty of tho eubjeot." The result was that certain journeymen printers who had been taken into custody obtained £300 damages, and Wilkes himself £1,000. The Government, not having tho wisdom to lot tho matter rest here, appealed to the Court of King's Bench, where the famous Lord Mansfield, and three othor judges, wero called upon to test the legality of the judg rauut of the previous Court, They lrero unanimous in upholding that judgment, and in affirming that general warrants, in which no name is mentioned, are contrary to English law. Most sano persons would suppose that _ the question so em phatically decided would never crop up again; but if tho "Horald" telegram may be trusted, Mr Bryco is ambitious to figuro as tho Lord Halifax ot this century. Wo can scarcely imagine that any magistrate could bo so lost to shame and decency as to bocomo tho tool of tho Ministry in signing his name to warrants in which no name appears. If such a man is to bo found, then it comes to this, that war rants may be issued against any and all of the pcoplo of this colony. No ono is safe. Tho liberty and tho property of each ono aro threatened ; they lie at tho mercy of the first tyrannically disposed Minister. As an instance of tho danger which is supposed to menace personal liberty through any tamporing with tho barriers up to tho present time hedging it round, it may be mentioned that in tho West Coast Settlement Act, ISSO, whero tho Constabulary were empowered to arrest without warrant natives in the act of fencing, or assembled for the purspose of fencing, it was expressly stipulated that this clause should cease to have force after the lapse of three years. This prudent pro« vision shows clarly enough that there wero some in tho House of .Representatives who were mindful that at so late a period as this too much licenso and latitude mast not be allowed to men in authority.

The final meeting of creditors in the estate of Kverard Francis Buckworth was held to. day,wbea the debtor's discharge from bank ruptcy was recommended.

The members of St. James's Mutual Improvement Association hold their annual eocial gathering this evening in the Tem perance Hall, Albert-street.

A consolation race for the three hindmost boats in tbo Ladies' race, which took place at the North Shore Regatta, will be rowed in the harbour on Saturday afternoon. The prizes consist of two gold rings presented by Mr Liuabury, two dresses, donation of Mr Quick, and two pair of gold sleeve studs, the gift of Mr W. if. Fcnton.

There is a possibility of the fourth-class open tailing boat race, which took place on November 9th, having to be re-sailed, A complaint bos been made that at the time of starting ono of the competitors was about 150 yards ahead of her companions. The matter is now under consideration.

The Working Men's Political Association met at the Temperance Hall last evening. There was a moderate attendance. It was resolved, " That the candidates whom this Association shall support shall be working men." A committee meeting will be held this evening at Mr Jtiarton's workshop to decide on candidates to bo brought forward by the Association, and the names will bo submitted to a meeting of members of tho Association to be held next week.

We are requested to correct an error that occurred in onr report of the dramatic per formance at tho North Shore. Mies Ger trude Duke took the part of Martha Boms not Miss K. Burke.

Mr Luke' .will address tho electors of Franklin Nortb,on Monday evening next.at Mangare.

The '' Northern Advocate " (Whangarei) says that a case will probably be brought into Court in a few days under that clause of the Corrupt Practices Act which provides a penalty of £200 and political disfranchise incut of both the party who pays a man to do electioneering work, and the man who accepts such payment.

The prizes won at the North Shore Regatta will be presented at the Devonport Hall on Saturday evening at 7.30 o'clock. Tho Bartly brothers will perform some suitable musical selections daring the evening. This is an improvement on the custom of paying prizes in hotels, and will permit of the attendance of ladies, who otherwise would have conscientious scruples against being present.

The fortnightly meeting of the Waste Lands Board wasiheld yestordayafternooUjMr D. A. Tole presiding. The results of the recent land sales were reported as follows : —Sales on October 31st, £1,374 4s 6d ; on November Btb, £2,784 93 lid. A circular was received from the Crown Lands Depart ment requesting tho Board not to sell lands on goldfields without due leacrvation with respect to rivers and water courses. It was reported that tho portion of the Okailiu block thrown open had been taken up; also that 100 acres had been act apart for a township at Helena Bay, Consideration of a letter from the " Observer," re advertis ing, was deferred. Several applications to purchase small areas were granted. This was all the business.

Samuel Kearney, a Doy ot three years was lost from Hillsbro, near the Pah,' Onehunga, on Wednesday. His father was attending the Agricultural Show, and the remainder of the family were on a risifc to Mr Freney, of Hillsbro. Tho little boy was missed in the afternoon, and it was remembered that several minutes previously he had been sitting on the verandah, eating some cake, when he suddenly called out that he wa3 going to town to see his papa. No notice was taken of what he said, as it was believed ho was speaking in fun. An energetic search was instituted, but no trace of the boy discovered. At the time he is snpposed to have wandoredofli ho wora a black and white straw hat, red muffler, white overall trimmed with red braid, blue jacket and tweed trousers underneath, lace-up boots and white stockings. A tele gram received from Onehunga this after noon states that the search party which was organised found the child in Titree Gully, at Hilsbro, to-day. He is well. The child was lost about two o'clock on Wednesday, aiid beinglound at two to-day, had been without food for 48 hours, and had spent two cold nights in the open air. Ho vbb suffering from whooping couyh when lost, and the father never expected to see him alive again. The fern around the district for miles is very high and thick. When found, the poor little fellow was fast asleep, and there was great difficulty in keeping him awake. Having been fed, he was brought in to see a doctor. The spot where he was found is about half-a» mile from the place where the picnic was held, and an equal distance from the pah farm. Mr Chatfield was the member of (he search party who discovered the child,

It gave out a splendid light, which could bo plainly seen from tho North Head, and burned for fully half an 'hour. These useful articles will, no doubt, often bo the'means of saving lifo in the future, and all vessels would do well to carry them. At the usual weekly meeting of tho Star of Now ton Lodge, 1.0.

The natives do not seem to troublo thorn selves one way or the other with regard to the Taranaki ■ complication, but tho Kingitcs, I am told, aro watching the movements very keenly, and if a false or in discreet step is taken by the Government, it may Involve the whole colony. A Press Association telegram announces that the Makau chiofTo Wctcre and others have waited on Mr Holly, one ot the Taranaki membors, and solicited his assis tance in getting a sitting of the Nativo Lands Court at Mokau. They state that they had made applications monttiß ago but without success, and wero anxious to have the titles settled, so that European settlement might be encouraged. Mr Kelly promised his assistance. The Govornincnt Bhould encourage in every way possible this disposition on the part of tho natires to open up the country. It would be a first step to the construction of the line from Taranaki to Auckland, To tho Editor : Sir, —Wo notice in your issue o£ yesterday ,in an article on the Agri cultural Show,a statement to the effect that Messrs Ireland Bros, were tho most success ful exhibitors in the local manufactures department, securing no less than nineteen first prizes and six second. On enquiry, from Mr Percival, the secretary to tho Asso ciation, wo find that this statement is not quite correct. There were only_ two prizes offered in the classes in which Mcisrs, Ireland Bros, competed, and of those prizos the first was giveu to onrselves and tho second to Messrs Ireland Bros. In fact, instead of Messrs Ireland Bros, being awarded "nineteen first prizes and cis Bccoud," they only obtained ono second prize. Wo make this correction in order that tho public may not be misled.—We remain, &c, B. GITTOS& SONS.

The following particulars of the recent fatal accident at Tapopa, ■ nsar Oxford, are supplied: The deceased, Jeroniiah Manning, was employed with a native falling a tree in the Tapopa bush. The tree, which was crowing on the face ot a steep hill, fell head downwards. Both men set to sawing the head off, and having succeeded, were about knocking ont the wedges when the trunk

slipped do ff n hill carrying deceased in front, a distance of 18 yards. Finally, his pro-

gress down hill was arrested by a projecting rock, against which he was jammed with great force. Death was almost instan taneous. News ot tho sad event was con*

veyed to the A. C. Camp by the native, deceased's'mate, who it appears,became too frightened to render immediate assistance On being extracted the body was conveyed to Oxford, where Constable Brennan, in

compiny with Dr. Cusbnty of Cambridge, went out on Sunday and held an enquiry into the circumstances. No coroner being available, the medical- attendant hold a

post-mortem examination, and satisfied himself that death had beon caused as

alleged,

At tho weekly meeting of St. Andrew's Mutual Improvement Association last night—Mr Roid,vice-president, in the chair, Mr J. Blackraan read an amusing sketch entitled "Silk and Sentiment," blended with the humour of which was a good deal of effectivo satire ami instructive matter. The sketch detailed the ''course of true love " of s middle-aged and poetical Auckland draper, and a curtain Miss Cash, whose interchanges of sontiment in the courting days took the shape of little; lectures on a variety ot social subjects, and who culminate tho auspicious negotiations by

proposing'and accepting marriage in rhyme. Tho paper bristled with telling hits, and elicited repeated laughter during delivery. Various members at the close offered,

criticisms on the paper—the most pertinent

being one to the cifect that it was very questionable if there was ever a draper especially an Auckland draper, who could writo poetry. An able es-ay on "Pride " was thereafter read by Mr Davis, and evoked some interesting criticism. The hearty thanks of the meeting having been accorded to the two gentlemen who had provided the evening's entertainment, tho chairman announced that next week Mr

Blackmail wo aid deliver his promised lecture on "Charles^ Dickens as a Social Reformer," and the procoediuga thereafter

terminated.

If wo wanted an example of the power osorclocd by the Press, in bringing a business into public favour by means of a judicious method o£ advertising, we have only to point to the unprecedented success attained by tho Auok land Provision Company since they first started business in tho Market. It had a small bogin. nlng at first, but it haa now become so popular, that every Saturday the place Is literally stormed by a constantly increasing; orowd of customers.' Wo don't intond.of course, to take all the credit to ourselves in this matter, for we are quite aware that the extra quality of tho goods sold, and the prices being fully 20 per cent below those of others, has operated greatly in the Company's favour; and right well thoy desorve the support of the people, and wo are sure that they are worthy of a yet more full and comploto success Wo havo, therefore, no hoßt tation in reommondini? our readers to visit tho Company's Bight Corner Stall, to-morrow, and they will soon be satisfied that it is to thoir interest to do ao; it is in faot what we should call the People's Market, and it is their own fault if thoy don't avail themiolves Of it, and profit by It, We need say no more, as a word to tho wise will be suffloient—(Advr.)

WRECK OF THE ORWELL.

FHE VESSEL PLUNDERED AND ClifcVr STRIPPED. iv arrival of the schooner Coronet last ivcniiifr, wo llavo full particulars of the iotal wreck' of tbc Auckland brig.antinb Drwell, at Poru, one of the numerous islands at which ,eho was in tho habit jf trading. The Orwell loft Auckland in jhargo ot Captain Robinson, on July 31st, tor Marßhall Islands. She arrived there safaly and proceeded to Rotuma. Thence 3110 went to. the Alice and Kingamill Gvotlp, arrriving at Peru prior to August 2Gtb. Oa that date tho Orwell waa lying at anchor, when the wind which for some timo previously had been blowing off tho land, suddenly veered round to the opposito quarter and placed tho vessel in a very awicward position. There was a largo flat reef under her lee, upon which she threatened to drift at any moment. Cap tain Robinson considered it advisable to make an attempt to beat out, and got un derway accordingly, but without avail, his fine yessel was in a few minutes upon tho reef, and almost immediately commenced to break up. This was about 10 o'clock in tho morning. Before 2 o'clock the same atternoon, the topmast and several other spars had gono ovor board, and there seemed no prospect of saving anything but the lives of the crow, whilo even that was a very difficult under taking. The shoro waa about a quarter or a mile distant, and had the water been at all calm all could have embarked in the boat. Tho breakers, however, prevented this mode of roscue. The Kanaka portion ot tho crew jumped over from tho starboaid sido and swam for the beach, which they reached safely, but the European members of the crow determined to. stick by the vessel as long as possible. They went into the cabin for refutre from tho wreckage, but found four or five feet of water on the lloor. Thoy thoo secured a few extra clothes and following the action of their dark-skinned compauione, jainped over tho side and headed for the shore They reached terra lirma very successfully, but hardly anticipated what was in store Tho native inhabitants had assembled on tho beach, uumbering several hundreds, and as each of the men landed they wero set upon by a band of savages and deliberately stripped,

being, as one of the crew since remarked, "as naked aa the day they wero born." After this rriost novol ceremony had been performed, the natives being unable to secure furtherplunder from the men, allowed them to go free and " maKe shifc" for them, selves, Different manners were adopted for protecting their bodies from the rayß of the sun, matting and other comparatively use less articles being brought into requiiitioo. On the following day one of the crew thought ho would swim off to tho vessel and secure some clothes which ho had taken the precaution to lock tip before leaving. He reached the voaaol, and boarded her, but caw no person about. Descending jntohis berth, lie secured several article* of clothing, etc., and began handing them up on deck, Tho last item was a box of valuable «hellß, and with this in his baud he got on deck. His surpriso can be easily imagined when not the slightest vestige of the atticles he had handed up could bo BCOD, It would appear that somo of the vory cunning natives had watched his movements, fol lowed him, and as ho placed his goods on deck quietly mado off with them. The man only had his box of shells, and making the best of a bad job, took it ashore. Two days after the wreck, the natives had cleared the wreck of cargo and all valuables, the former beiDg for tho greater part composed of articles of trade. The echooner George Noble called at the Island shortlyafter, and Captain Kobinson took pas sage iv her for Alabama, where he found tho Auckland schooner Coronet. He went on board of the latter vessel, and returned to Peru, picking up Mr Flower, supercargo, and a few more of the ciew, coming on from thence to Auckland. They havo, in deed, had a very unpleasant time among the Kanakas, and are not anxious to be again so effectually in their power. The brigautine Orwell was a wooden vessel of 168 tons net register. She was built at Jervis Bay, N.S.W., in IS7I, and registered at Melbourne in 1874. She was bought by Messrs Henderson and Macfar lanc about a year ago, and has since been engaged in the Island trade. The Orwell was insnred for £1,200 In the South British oflice, £700 being re-insured in other companies. The South British Company is thus a loser to the extent of £500. •

Complainant had simply come np for a little fresh air. when he was attacked by de fondant, who grasped him by the neck, and dragged !hlm along the dook; it was a wanton and unwarranted attack, especially as the defondant was an officer on board. — William Ductfham doposed that he was a trimmer, and went on dock for a blow, which he found nocesstry to his health.

THE WRECK OF THE RONA.

(To tn« Kditor. Sin.— l see by your Saturday's issue that tho re mains Ot pour Captain It. MoKenzio wore found a few days aeo on the North Spit, Kaipara Houde, by Mr Georga Kitchen. Now, when Cap tain Smith came to tho Kaipara some time ago, for the purpose of searching the beach from the South Spit to the wreck, after Mr H, Bailey and myself had traversed alone the beach for tho aamo purpose, I Bugßostod that it would be better to continue the search on the North Spit, and stated my bolief that if cither tho boat or any of tho men were found it would bo in the neighbourhood of the North Spit, because the flood tide sets rieht in to this, and nearly everything in the shapo of wreckage, loge, sawn timber, &0., drifts in there. It will bo remembered that we fonnd two coils of ropo. keg of batter, and othor gear from the Rona, at leavt 15 miles north from where she went ashore, and about 6 miles south of the South Head. Had my suggestion been acted on, the body just found might have been picked up more fully recognisable, and would have escaped tho mutilation it had evidently received. This loss of life to the captain and crew of the Rona should Stir up the Government to erect a lighthouse on Kaipara Heads, and I am glad to see that others are agitating on the subject. Let it be a promise with our coming memoers, that they will press tho matter before the next Par liament.— Yours &c, H. Stanaway. [In referenco to Mr Stanaway's letter, it is clearly the duty of the Government to ordor a periodical patrol, say ones a weelr, along this part of the coast, especially after any wrecks. When he and H. Bayley searched the beach af tor tho wreck of tho Hona, they found a corpse which they considered belonged to that vessel, but was afterword believed not to.be so.and was supposed to have been one of thelU-fated crew of the James A. Stewart, lost many months pre viously.—Bo", E. 9]

CONVERSAZIONE AT THE MUSEUM.

The Society of Ar.ta held a Conversazione in the Museum building last evening, which was largely attended. The centre of at traction was the " black and white "exhibi tion, of which a report appeared in our last night's issue, the room where the pictures wero displayed being crowded. The loan collection of pictures and photographs also proved very interesting. A selection of vocal and instrumental music was per formed, tho following ladies and gentlemen taking part: Mesds.nes Brookfield, Camp bell, Judson, and Upton, Misses Brown and May, and Messrs Angclo Forrest, Gordon Gooch, Beale, Cox, and Forth. The National Anthem brought the even ing's entertainmeut to a successful close. A . special general meeting of the Society, under tb'o presidency of Sir Maurice O'Korke, was held at 8.30 in the iecture-r6orri. Tho two following resolu tious wero passed unanimously :—" That tho committee be empowered to appropriate from tho reserve fund of £60 a sum not ex ceeding £20 for the purpose of procuring standard books upon art subjects to form tho nucleus of a library for art culture and reference." "That this meeting desires specially to recognise tho munificence of Mr 3. T. Mackelvie, as shown in his generous and liberal gifts of paintings and antiquities for tho people of Auckland, by a cordial and unanimous vote of thanks, and would beg to request that Mr Mackelvie would permit his name to bo placed upon tho list of vice-presidents of the society." This was all the business.

SALE OF PEDIGREE STUD STOCK.

The first annual sale of pedigree stud stock by tho Auckland Agricultural Company (lato Maclean and Co.) took place yester day afternoon on their fine estate, Penrose Farm. A special train was laid on from Auckland, and fully seventy-five gentlemen proceeded out in it, while one hundred and fifty others found their way to the place of Hiilo from the surrounding districts. A capital cold collation was laid out in one of the eheds at half-past twelve, and after it had been duly discussed the Hon. James Williamson mounted the auctioneer's bench in the yard and made a few preliminary remarks. After referring to his own early experiences as a cattle breeder between 1844 and 1649, he said that the stock offered that day wertthofirst that had been obtained from tho piidigreeanimalspurchasedby theMesars McLean, Mr Russell; and himself at long prices in England. They had procured beauts of tho most fashionable breed, viz., Oxford Royal, and these were, perhaps, the only representatives of their family this sido the Lin& Money had been no bar to their efforts to get the beat stock obtainable, and he hoped that the public, by giving liberal prices, would make the investment reproductive, and that their purchases that day might prove profitable. Mr Buckland also took occasion to deliver a short speech, in the course of which ho said that the animals offered for sale were unequalled in this hemisphere. He had never before had the opportunity of putting up to auction such a number of stock of the very best kind;

Such reform, he stated, was urgently necessary, and he asked the assistance of all political parties in bringing the same into effect. Ear) Grauville also made an important speech. He stated that a cordial agreement continued between England and France in regard to Egypt. Alluding to the Anglo-French treaty negotiations, he said that the Government attached no magnified economic importance to the con clusion of the Treaty of Commerce with France, although, politically, such would be valuable. His Lordship_ concluded by i stating emphatically that it was impossible for England to conclude a treaty with France of a retrograde character.

In the Supreme Court; to-day, argument was heard upon an injunction, recently granted, calling upon Commodore Wilson to show cause why he should not be committed for contempt of Court, for ordering the re-arrest of bandsman Yates, who deserted from H.M.S. Bacchante. The rule was dis charged.

THE SYDNEY MINING SCANDAL.

SYDNEY, Friday.

In tho Assembly last night, on the adjourned debate on the Milburn Urcek mine inquiry, Sir Henry . Parkes mored that Mr Garrett, Member for Camden, was unworthy of confidence in consequence of his action in connection with the award to the Company. Mr Garrett made an eloquent speech in his own defence, and the motion was finally rejected by 40 to 38;

Sir John Robertson, Vice-President of the Executive Council, and Representative of tho Government in the Legislative Cou>i cil, has resigned his portfolio. The actual cause of this has not transpired, bnt it is believed to be due to a difference between Sir John Robertson and bis colleagues in regard to the policy of the Government.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The Opera Company performed last night, as well as the evsning previously, to crowded houses, the programme on both occasions consisting of the first act of "Les Cloches de Corneville" and the whole of " The Pirates of Penzance," On Wednesday evening especially, the attendance was exceedingly large, and the _ per formance was made exceptionally inter esting by a graceful tribute on the part of the Company to the character of the holiday. The curtain rose upon an allegori cal tableaux, emblematic of Britannia guarded by thelion kiouchant, and supported by a soldier and a sailor, while the mem bers of the company were grouped prettily on either side. . They jsang the national anthem, the audience standing all the time. Then Mr Porter sang, " God Bless the Prince of "Wales," and finally " Rule Britannia''was given as a chorus. The demonstration ot loyalty and respect was effectively carried out, and gave great satisfaction. Last night's performance was a very agreeable one also. "Les Cloches de Corneville' will be presented in its entirety this evening and to-morrow even ing as well. A new bill is announced for Monday.

MINING NEWS.

Ness ■ Side.—The manager reports:— Since my last report I have extended tbe drive on No. 1 Ness-Side leader ten feet, and have also stoped out 20 feet by 10 feet, from which I'have taken 24 pounds of speci mens and paddocked 4 tons of quartz, mak ing a total of 173 pounds of specimens on hand, and 'about 7 tons of quartz paddocked. No. 2 Lpad.—The work has been pushed ahead on this leader with good progress. During the past-fortnight 12 feet have been driven and good payable was struck on Friday last. Since then I have been pad docking the quartz, which shows coarse blotches of gold as it is broken down. This level will give about fifty feet of backs, and as the tunnel is now nearly under (he run of gold, a quantity of good stone may be expected at any time.— Angus McNeil, Mine-manager. Colonial. — The manager reports : "Since my last report the level has been extended 21 feet, making the distance 86 feet, still carrying a strong leader a foot thick, and the ground a little harder again. A few pounds of picked stone have been obtained from the stopes,—No. 2 leader: There has been 20 feet driven north of this i leader. The prospects are not so good as where first cutl. A rise has been started here to where I got the prospects on the surface.—Geo. Stevens."

THRUSH.—The manager reports : "I have much pleasure in informing you that the reef has changed for the better since my last report. Yesterday, in washing some of the casing I obtained loo3e colour of gold, and in breaking down the reef to-day I met with strong blotches of gold in the stone. The reef ia much reduced in aize. It is now only about three inches wide. The coun try ia well charged with mineral. There is every indication of a patch of gold being olo?e at hand. We have driven six teet this week, and there arc now 18 feet to drive to our boundary.—l have, etc, Heney THODE."

THE FRANKLIN ELECTION

BtR GORDON AT OTAHUHU.

Agreeably to hi 3 announced intention, Mr John Gordon, one of the candidates for Franklin North, addressed a meeting of electors last night in thb Public Hall, Otahuhn. There was a good attendance of' the villagers and outlying settlers.

Mr Sturgea was voted to the chair, upon the motion of Mr Day, seconded by Mr W, R. Wills,and after opening the proceedings in tho usual way, invited Mr Gordon to deliver his address.

Mr Gordon, in rising to respond, was re« •". ceived with a round of cordial applause. He said that as one of the four - candidates for the suffrages of the electors he had come forward that night to expound his views upon the lead, ing questions of the day, and to state the grounds upon which he expected to obtaia I a fair measure of their support and influence. There was no necessity to refer to personal matterSjfor ho had lived in Otahnhu nearly as long as the oldest inhabitant, and there fore was well and widely known; The speaker then proceeded to review the poli. ' tical questions which either hare been or are at present exercising the public mind. He condemned the Counties Act as un workable ; so far, at least, as Otahuhrt was concerned, and expressed himself in favour of some modification of the system whereby districts might be allowed the' option of availing themselves of municipal rights and privileges. The Town Districts Aac contemplated something of the sort and the only difficulty in the way of its in' troduction, he thought, would be want of funds. Although it might become cum. bersojne in its operation, yet it was a very i good instalment of the local self-government lor which the pebple were clamouring. He was in favour of the resumption by the Government of the power of pur. ; chasing native lands, and he con. sideied it a regrettable circumstance that it had ever been relinquished. If the* were indisposed to arrogate to themselves the sole right of purchasing they should, at any rate, reserve themselves the power of step ping in and setting aside for the pnrposes of W, settlement any blocks which appeared desir able and advantageous. The time was now H approaching when the leases of a great ~m many of the Southern runs expired, and the manner in which the Government had declared itself prepared to legislate with regard to theiii seemed to him highly satis- : factory, and deserving of hearty snpport; It was ready to cut up the runs in order to . afford enlarged facilities tor their settle ment and cultivation, besides making them more profitable as a means of revenue than they had been hitherto; However; as the i South had the preponderance of voting power, its members would doubtless attempt to perpetuate, andmight succeed in perpetuating the present system. la order to combat any such project, the North ' ! Island men would have to be united and 9 determined. The individualisation of tho native title was a matter which in all proba bility would soon receive attention, bat ia this connexion it would be highly essential' to take precautions to prevent the entire alienation of native lands, and to make it illegal for each (ribe to sell within the area which might be considered necessary for its maintenance in comfort. • Upon the sub- : ject of land tenure, he. might say that he was opposed to the law of entail, and he sincerely applauded Mr Whitaker's efforts to secure its abrogation in order to simplify and facilitate the transfer of land. Oar : administrative machinery at present was far too costly, and in his opinion it could easily be improved; and at the same time: worked more economically. The Govern- , ment, too, instead of ascertaining the fiscal .'■ burdens which the people were able to bear, and then adjusting their expenditure ac cordingly, proceeded upon the contrary plan of determinine; their expenditure after- ..,', their caprice, and then saddling the country with it by the imposition of laxeßi He thought that pensions in the past had been recklessly granted, and it $ should be the duty of every inde pendent representative to see that none of these payments were made in future except where the recipients had a moral and legal right to them. After referring at " Borne length to the New Plymouth Harbour Works,which he stigmatised as the result of a swindle practised upon the colony, Mr Gordon went on to say that he was under the apprehension that attempts would be made during the ensuing session to alter the system, of triennial Parliaments, and if ' < M they succeeded the result could hardly fail 3 to be deplored by the country. If returned -fl he would offer the greatest antagonism to * any such effort. To his mind a manifest injustice had been, done the North Island by the exclusion of the native population from theoperation of the Representation Act, the effect of which had been to deny it fiva or six more n_embers than it was now ■'. • allowed. He believed that the Government had been stimulated to this action by the Southern members for the furtherance of projects which, as yet, were beneath tho surface of things, but which at anytime might rise into very great prominence. He believed in the principle of local option, and therefore was disposed to snpport the new Licensing Act, although ho was in clined to thiuk the machinery was some thing cumbersome. With regard to the Gaming and Lotteries Bill he had hoard it said thatils immediate [effect would be to ' send large sums of money out of tho country, and if that were so the measure would have to be repealed. Gambling wiis to be deprecated of course, but, like many other evils, it could not be altogether suppressed, and, therefore, it should be ; regulated and controlled, He was a stout j supporter of a system of education, free, j ' secular, and compulsory, and he would S I ' strongly resist any endeavour to do away -.sS#J , with' any one of these characteristics. f Still, he considered that there was a ten- ' 1 dency to extravagance in expenditure upon-'jl^H i the part of the Education Boards, and lest •: they involved thel colony in financial em barrassment ia 'that way, he thought a limit should be put to their disbursements. 1 j! He objected, for instance, to the allocation of £70,000 or £100,000 per annum for the. >£! training 'of teachers in the work" for .9 which, subsequently,; they would drawlaE State salaries. The office expenses'of tho Boards were also excessive, and no other §m '■ Board was so extravagant in this respect a.? ■ our our own. It therefore did not deserve the credit that had been claimed tor it upon the score of economy. Besides, the system was called a national one, and yet the children living in thickly-populated districts received the benefit of tuition' from extra f masters, such as drill, singing, elocution, t and drawing masters, from which country s ' children were debarred. That inequality [> was not fair, and even if it could be justified i the State was not bound or called upon to } provide instruction in theEe extra 1 subjects. By the means -he had ' ! indicated, the expenditure could be reduced without impairing the educational ~ i system. He was a firm free-trader, bnt p still he favoured the offering of bonuses for ■":;;:;* the creation or encouragement of local in- [> dustries which would be likely to thrive and Jj become of value to the country. ■ After f giving some illustrations of the large amounts expended by the Government w f. the compilation of statistical returns whicn ought to be obtained very inexpensively] the gentleman coscluded by stating that to had sufficient knowledge of tho politics and history of the country to discasfl familiar.y | any question that might come before,™ j House, while his past action afforded W jj people a guarantee that he would pursue» j, fair, honourable, and conscientious coursß in jf Parliament.^ • ■ . i Z«S t In reply to a question as to his opinion « > the action of the Government on the Wat v Coaßt, Mr Gordon said that it would not j be right or wise on the part of * candidate for legislative honours to pronounceapj' ad verse criticism upon the recent action onoo Government in respect of the PanS*^ matter, or indeed to pass judgment.B* ■" i until the colony had been extricated from the difficulty. , t : In answer to other questions, Mr GordW £ ( said that he would not seek *° Pial«sfflHr Justices of the Peace from taking pa" m ; local elections; that he was in favour ol an elective Upper House, the members uriw"";^! office for a limited period ; that, he **>>" vote for the reduction of the honorarium " : ; >; a fair remuneration for the services giTCS. say £150 per annum. ■ h Mr Ow en McGee, in a laudatory »?; proposed a vote of confidence in the cau> didate as a fit and proper person to KPre" sent the constituency in Parliament..
