•wtfth the amendments named would pass into law.

Messrs Sheehan, Kelly, and Saun ders, spoke in support, after which the motion was carried on the voices, and the Bill read a second time.

GOLD-DUTY ABOLITION. Mr Seddon moved the second reading of the Gojd Duty Abolition Bill.'He contended that the time had arrived when, on every principle of justice, the mining population of the colony was entitled to relief in this respect. In the discussion that followed, Mr SPEIGHT referred to the diamond drill, which he said had been rendered practically a white elephant in consequence of the tariff adopted. It the matter was properly arranged it would be the pioneer of fresh discoveries. He blamed Government for tacking on the portfolio of Mines t» that of Lands. He also called upou them to make arrangements for enabling miners to obtain Hasting powder more easily. He would support the motion. The motion was carried, and the Bill read a second time and referred to the Goldtields Committee.'1

ADOPTION OF CHILDREN BILL.

Mr Tole moved the second reading of the Adoption of Children Bill. He said it had originated in the other Chamber, and had been adopted without a division. Its aim was, that, the charity, of the : benevolent might find wide scope, and give the same the security of law.

Mr Stewart said the principle of the Bill was one he had been maturing for some time past. In the Bill before them, however.; there were certain safeguards wanting. The child might suffer by the mode of adoption proposed. The Bill provided that when adopted it became the legitimate child of the adopter. In that case if its uncle1 were to die leaving estate then the child's interest would suffer by the adoption. He would be disposed to have some provision made to protect its interest: in that direction. It should also be a provision that the child was,witboutsupportwhen adopted. .Then again the proposed restriction against the adopted child and a child of the adopter fntermarrying should not be given effect to. The, original name of the child also should be retained as a portion of its name. He objected to matters of this kind being left to the jurisdiction of .Resident Magistrates. It was necessary that: great caution should : be exercised in matters of this kind.

Mr BOWEN agreed in the * opinion that the measure was likely to be a useful one and one which would require to be given effect to with great care. In that case, it might be as .well to send it.in the first in-i stance to a select committee. He argued that the rule fbllo'wed1 in* America was the one best suited for • their guidance., What they had to guard against was, to protect persons who had adopted children and edu cated them from beiug called upon by the parent to give up the children. The Bill was read a second time. C GISBORNE HARBOUR BOARD BILL. >G

Mr McDonald moved the second reading of the Gisborne Harbour Board Bill: 'He explained that the Endowment asked for was 44,000 acres of land, upon the security of which tbey proposed" to raise a sum of £70,000 for erection of a wbarf. The land had only cost the Government £10,600.

.rMr .Hursthouse objected to^ tKe ; prib... ciple ot endowing Harbsur Boards with the colonial estate. * ; ■' II .■'•.■/ ft.a'l _ :iiJt>t._.

Mr ROLLESTON said there was no doubt but that.he time would be- taken up with a great many of these Bills. If they did not strangle them they Would be'strangled in another place. The fact was that there were propoSalS'to'taki. every -acre ;6f really good available land from settlement, and appropriate it for-local purp'dses. -The-Go vernment was about to open up the very block here proposed to be taken. He blamed Mr McDonald for neglecting the interests of his district

Mr Tubnbull spoke in support of the Bill* "- *■<*• •>--•:*:■'' n'■ .... &.-!_i.

Mr DeLautour strongly resented, Mr Rolleston . attack oh Mr McDonald, which was evidently intended, in view of the elec tions, to prejudice his constituents against him because he was too independent to beg, and too honest to enter into any unholy compact. _ Mr Stewart spoke in favour bf the Bill. Mr Kelly recognised ..that the district had not received much benefit from the public works expenditure, and he thought tbat tbe concession sought foe by the Bill, might very reasonably be given. •ta Mr MACANDREW looked upon the East Coast' as having been -neglected, and he thought the endowment" askedmmightt t very. pro-.erly,begiven; .',., '.'.'..

FREE TRADE AND PROTEC TION.

PUBLIC DEBATE.

A. public debate between St. Andrew's aud St. James' Mutual Improvement As. sociations on the question " Would a Free Trade Policy be Most Beneficial for New Zealand ? " took place last evening in St. Andrew's schoolroom, and passed off very successfully. The building was crowded to the doors—a fair proportion . of, those .present being ladies. . '{,•{ : The' representatives of the rival As sociations, viz., Mes_rs J. A. Haslett, C. J. (Smyth, E, W. Burton, and P. Olipharit for St. Andrew's, and Messrs W. Cooper, J. M. Geddis, G. Thwaites, and -H. S. F. Peltzer for St. James', occupied seats' and were provided with tables at separate ends of the platform, the Chairman being mid way between the opposing camps, Mr H. Haslett superintended the operation of time-keeping. ".'". i Tbe Rev. A. Carrick occupied the chair, jHe opened the proceedings with prayer, and then in a few pleasant remarks introduced the business of the evening.':■•'

Mr J. A. Haslett (St. Andrew's Associa tion) commenced the discussion. After referring at some length to tho good re sults: that were likely to ensue from such [friendly competitions in dialectic skill, and expatiating upon the transcendant im portance from a political point bf view of 'such a subject as Free Trade versus Pro tection, the. speaker proceeded to define the former policy. , He explained it to be ,an' absolutely free and unrestricted exj change of commodities between the various [countries of the world; each sending abroadthe surplus stocks for the growth or manufacture of which it is peculiarly adapted,'and receiving in return tlie articles which it can only produce at a disadvan tage.' '". He asserted that many : generations must elapse before New Zealand can be come -a mantactnring country, and there fore argued, that instead of increasing the prices of food, by a resort to protective im posts, we should.be content to export the raw products with which nature has en dowed us, as well as the produce of a pro lific soil; '"'•;' ~ . ["■, :,

Mr W. Cooper'(St; yames') followed, fle said that, while he was:not prepared to affirm that the.principle o. Free Trade was iv the abstract wrong, he emphatically dehied I that i its application 'to a young country like New Zealand would he either beneficial or expedient. He then passed on to shew that many industries, and notably the timber trade aud grain produc tion, had languished and declined under a Free Trajle policy, but that when given a moderate degree of protection they revived and prospered. Some figures were quoted iasupport of this contention, and particular reference' wag made" to the balance-sheets presented..at. the irecent, meetings of; .the local timber companies.'- '~.'\ y ■: Mr C. J. .Smyth (St Andrew's);set., out by impressing upon, the" audience" the momentous importance of the subject under discussioii,. and then,.after alluding to.a motion which Mr Murray had brought for ward in Parliament, he proceeded to enlarge upon the natural richness of New Zealand and'thcbright future in store fbrhlr:'" 'In general ternis .he. then credited Protection with promoting taxation and, immigration' by keeping up the prices of articles,at a high rate, while Free Trade, he averred, reduced the cost of living by putting an end to competition,/and by limiting exports and decreasing imports. The gentleman.concluded by reciting some verses of poetry.

•Mr*"-xT„ M. Geddis charged Messrs Haslett and Smyth with having for saken the real question at issue for theo re'ticaiabstractions which had.no relevancy iwhatever to the question of the :beneficial character or otherwise of a 'Free Trade policy as adapted to New Zealand. The latter gentleman he twitted {with having confined himself to '{a rhapsodical disquisition lupon things in 'general, and stigmatised as preposterous hia assertions that the abolition of competition and the limitation of exports were things to be desired. The speaker then went on to argue (1)' that protection stimulates the growth ana-promotes the expansion, of. a new country to a far greater extent than iree trade, and (2) that it tends to the local •production of manufactured goods at a {cheaper price than that at which they can ;be : imported. The first proposition was 'sustained by a reference to the comparative statistics of Victoria and New South Wales; •and the second by the contention that boots and shoes, candles, tinware,. etc.,: locally manufactured were now underselling the imported* article. The speaker also main 'taiued that .no' section of the community {could be benefitted without the whole body 'deriving advantages from it, and that active competition kept wages anoV profits at their normal standard. j Mr E. W. s Burton (St. Andrews), said 'that as' ttusi preceding speaker had clearly {marked out* the limits of debate he would follow bim thither. In the first place, he submitted that Protection was essentially I unjust, inasmuch as-it sought to cast addi tional burdens upon a vast number of peo ple, for the purpose of .making a present to a Bmall fraction. As not one in twenty re quired protection, all the others were taxed in order that it might be accorded. He denied that protection attracted capital, and alleged tbat if manufactures were,specially encouraged the natural effect would be that everyone would turn manufacturer. The gentleman then argued tbat the effect of the statistics which had beeu given of the exports of Victoria and New South Wales was to shew that the former country had glutted her own market,, and. he had yet to learn that that was a'stale' of things which could he held to be satisfactory.. . At any rate Now South Wales had more largely increased in population than "Victoria. Mr Burton, in conclusion, thought we should content ourselves with°supplying our coal, iron, grain, etc., to other countries:.in exchange ;i for the manufactured goods with which they were, better able to supply us. He hoped that Protectionwouldsoonhecome one of* the phantoms of the wretched past. 1 Mr Geo. Thwaites ■ (St. James' Associa tion) contested the validity of the " let well alone" doctrine. ' Heinsistedthat-itshould be the aim of a country,to relieve herself from a dependence upon her neighbours for What with a little preliminary? self-denial she" could do herself, and claimed that it was a more beneficial; thing to purchase goods at an enhanced price from local manufacturers, wbo-in'fet-nr dealt with us;'than tb'sehd the money out .0f....-the country tor the sup port of foreica'artisans aud manufacturers. He considered that Protection was the readiest mean's of placing us in a position to compete oh equal terms with the other countries of the world, and in reply to Mr Burton pointed out that it was simply impossible ft or everyone to turn -manufac turer, as p3_ increase of manufactures made agriculture a highly profitable pur suit. The\ labourers required to be fed. j Mr P. Oliphant (St Andrew's) said that as Mr Thwaites had advanced no arguments demanding consideration from him, he would cut out a track for himself. He thought that .'the .inability of America to dispense with protection now that she had been habituated;to the use of it, was incon trovertible proof that its tendency was not for free competition, while the fact that [European .manufacturers were able to reach ;the American., market,; notwithstanding the barriers erected to shut them, out,, shewed , the; futility of forcing industries in a country which had not advanced ito the (stage of being able to maintain them .profitably' unaided by protection.. Free Trade 'he urged conferred the greatest ■good upon the greatest number, while Pro tection only benefitted a special class. Mr Oliphant then went on to condemn the timber duty, and to affirm that it cramped :the shipbuilding and other industries. 'Protection, he averred, made the shadow of the sheriff's hammer hang like the sword of Damocles'over the settler's cabin. Mr H. S. F. Peltzer (St. James) humourously compared Mr Oliphant and his arguments .to a Krupp gun loaded with blank ammunition, which.made an infernal noise while doing very little execution. He held that the arguments of J. \S. Mill and other". Free Trade writers were applicable 'only to full .grown states and not- to new ebuiitrieslike New Zealand, and contended that free trade every where must be preceded 'by!' political ' freedota "'.and {..equality, free , trade, in'• land,'_; cheap _ .transfer of land. and a revenue based, on . direct -taxation anstead of .customs Hnties. fie also showed that, free .trade •naturally included free trade in labour, and, -that therefore5 the prohibition, against an .inundation of Chinese libourerstfould have to be -relnoved." {He thought it -that ah°infant:State dike New Zealand should be thrust into the'lists tot-f T^Po^ °j competing.with countries which had teached their maturity, and were provided with al possible advantages for winniog the uneoiial C°Ml__rsW.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE NON-VISIT OF TBE PRINCES,

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—With all deference to the possible truth ef the remarks contained in your leading article of last evening—may not another reason which certaic.y overtops all "probabilities" be yet added, viz.— That public meeting so dishonorable to the whole colony which was held last Monday evening in Wellington, and in which several members of tbe House of Repre sentatives to tbeir infinite discredit took part. Notably, were four Auckland rep resentatives (?) joined in this very unwise procedure, viz, Sir George Grey, Messrs jSheehan, Speight, and Tole. How in all common reason and integrity can colonists play so dishonest a part as to allow of a public expression of sympathy with existing anarchy within the.realm, on. one day, ' and the next preteind to be unanimous In a hearty loyalty to the British Government and Royal household ? Monstrous incon.istepcy this! fcJew Zoaft' land is.now—for a period, at least—dis graced ; and she has- been thus disgraced mainly by Sir G. Grey,; John Sheehan, William J. Speight. John A. Tole,; J. Ballauce, J. B. Fisher, and the Mayor (!) of Welliagton. These seven names ought surely to be blotted ou. {{at .the .{.first election of representatives, ahd., by doing tnis the electors of,the colony would best show how they have been misrepre. s'ented, and, at the same time, maintain the character of .their own staunOh loyalty1 to the Throne of England,—l am, &s,,' * ". - ''-•'■!' *': 'LoyAl:

SYMPATHY WITH THE LAND LEAGUE.

(To the Editor.) Sik, —Would it ,be -permisaable for me to venture the guess that the Land League sympathy meeting held on Monday at Wel lington is a clumsily planned ruse, an un skiltully. arranged bait through which the hook is plainly seen poking? Why should certain members of the House of Repre sentatives so suddenly have discovered the terrible iniquity of the treatment of the Irish at Home by their landlords, when all ,the world; has been ringing with the fact for months past ? The explanation of this unexpectedly developed sensitiveness seemi*; to me to'be, that the gentlemen ii. question are angling tor the Irish vote at The ap proaching election. But-surely'the Irish men am6ng us are'not so easily gulled ?,{ —they :are not to be taken in by such a gross and palpable fraud. They are_ usually rcredited-twith a quick wit, but I, should iinagine tlte', dullest comprehension would see through _' few fine phrases and: pretty speeches., If the gentlemen who got 'up the meeting! am referring to were to head the subscription list with double and :treble figures, then.perhaps Irishmen would begin to think there was something besides "igas" iv this wonderful.,'* sympathy..'.

TAWHIAO'S TOUR.

A Visit to Auckland Still Con-

templated.

A REIPORT was current in t6jvn thiis morn ing to the effect that Tawhiao, while at Mercer, had voluntarily abdicated his sovereignty in: favour of Paul of Orakei; and had also performed an act equivalent to'that of coronation ,by clothing him.with. aHsluablekiwi mat, which hoihad worn »h' state, occasions only, during'the' last 30 years. On hearing, information' Of so important 'a' character, we made diligent enquiries about it, and, although tbe result has been to divest it ot much of "its sensational embellishment there yet remains sufficient to form the sub ject of sincere congratulation. The abdi cation ceremonial and its attendant elevation of Paora Tuhaere to the Maori thrown are shewn to be but fanciful myths, but communications have been made of quite as" /significant -a character as any delegation or. transfer of pseudo-regal authority. It seems that Paora Tnhasre, of Orakei, and Te Hemara, of Mahurangi, on learning that Tawhiao and his party had arrived at Mercer, went thither to meet him. After the interchange of the formal courtesies usual amongst chiefs of rank, the visitors acquainted the King of the preparations that were com? menced for . his; reception in town, I and asked him if he were going thither. Tawhiao replied that he ,was . greatly grieved that Paul had not; arrived'and told him of this sooner, as he had already passed his word to* his people that he would return from Mercer home wards. That promise he could not now recal, but although he was deterred from visiting Auckland at present, he would take an early opportunity of coming down. As a pledge to the Europeans who had done him so much honour and shewn him 'so much flattering attentions that this was no mere idle promise, he then presented Paul with a handsome kiwi mat upon which great store had been set. He further said tbat he was. 1 deeply' sensible of the uniform kindness shewn him and the respect "paid to him by the settlers of the various townships through which he, had passed, and that he fully ap*.. predated the friendly intentions' otthev people of Auckland. He commissioned Paul to report tbat as soon as possible he would visit the city and also the Kaipara district. For this information we are in debted to Mr R. de Thierry to whom Paul communicated it in detail. , We understand tbat the fatal, aocident which occurred on the railway line is looked upon by the bull. cf the natives, who are nothing if not super stitious, as significant of the fact that tbe Queen's sovereignty has been established and tbat it is impossible to prevent the ex tension of her dominion over the length and breadth of New Zealand.

i On their arrival at Mercer, the King and his,party heard, for the first time,,tbat the. Princes;'were not, after'all, coining to Auck-' land,aud this fact,coupled with the inability of the King to -proceed thither Constitutes in their opinion, an aitnaj or omen, from Which they draw singular conclusions. Their nature we could ascertain, but they are said to be rather remarkable. ' -*- j w0 ,„ TAWHIAO-S ANSWER. :„ j The Mayor received to-day per post, an answer from Tawhiao himself to the tele-: graphic invitation forwarded him on behalf of the citizens. We subjoin a copy of it:— ; Mercer,, August 4th, 1881. ToOjarke, Mayor, and to you all wbo signed the letter I have received: Friends, greetings to you and tbe great nation which resides at Auck land.
