and all being safe they returned to theit peaces and Mr Keeves resumed speaking, saying tho occurrence was nodoubtadis pSion sent in respect of the froward paths into which Parliament was straying. He therefore moved to report progress. Ayes, 3; noes, 22. Mr Sheehan also im proved the occasion, and moved that the Chairman leave the chair. Ayes, 4; noes, 22. " At three o'clock, Mr Bryce took the chair. Mr Keeves, after speaking some time, moved to report progress; ayes, 4; noes, 21. Between 4 o'clock and 6, five similar divisions took place. At the latter hour only 23 members were present, and most of them were asleep. Mr Lundon made a motion that the chairman leave the chair, proceeding to talk on the bill generally, when he was ruled out of order. Mr Sheehan disputed this ruling saying tnat Mr Seymour had ruled that the whole policy of the bill could be traversed in that motion. The acting chairman, however, refused to alter his ruling. The motion for leaving the chair; ayes, 6; noes, 30. The committee is Btill sitting, fresh relays on both 6ides having come on duty. Mr Pitt next took a turn and moved that progress be reported. He spoke for an hour-and-a-half, dealing with almost all the items on the Order paper, in order to show why progress should be reported. He concluded by stating that if the reasons he had given were insufficient, he would be happy to give further reasons on another occasion. During his remarks a quorum had to be rang up on about fourteen occasions. A division was taken at 1.30 on the question lor reporting progress. Ayes, 7 ; noes, 28. Mr Seddon then moved that the Chairman do leave the chair, observing that he could give good and sufficient reasons for the motion. He con tended that if it came to fighting or blood shed, they had quite enoughsfighting power on the West Coast to whop both Otago and Canterbury. If those who were seeking to deprive them of their rights had no scruple of conscience in using every means to force this injustice, they would have no scruples about using every means to protect their rights. He then began to go over the Hoki. tika Electoral Bill name by name to show how the property qualifications would effect each name. In the course of his remarks Mr Seddon accused the Government of buying four Auckland votes two years ago. The Premier said that if it was worth while doing so he could glye that statement a complete denial. . Mr Seddon said the Premier could not possibly do so, as ho (Mr Seddon) Knew his handwriting, and had seen it attached lo a certain document. Mr Seddon then continued and read the Hokitika electoral roll, when Mr Oliver rose to a point of order as to whether it was competent for him to do so. Several other members also called attention to the matter, but the Chairman ruled Mr Seddon was in order. He continued to go through the roll with frequent interruptions. The Premier and Mr Macandrew spoke warmly against the scandalous waste of time that was now taking place in the House. Mr Macandrew said he should not raise any further points of order, as he fonnd it was a mistake, and that it was better to leave the obstructionists to them selves. Mr Seddon ended a 3i hours' speech at 1.10. Mr Levastam is now speaking.

Had crops all over the garden, wi:h the exception of a (Up of grass by the creek. On the 31st of July, a cow got into his garden. He slept rather late that morning, and on looking out, saw Talt driving a cow out of his garden. He assisted in getting the cow out, and she went into Camp bell's paddock He knew it was Campbells cow. He went to Mr Campbell, and told him that his cow had eaten up his vegetables. Mr Campbell oflered him some manure to make up for the damage, but he told him he must have some money. On the following Monday eren ing, he found the cow in the garden again; he drove It out; he did not think it w»s the same cow; It had a different coloured tail; he com plained again to Mr Campbell and wanted payment for damage; Mr Camp bell offered to put him up a fence In Hen of money: on the last occasion the cows damaged over 100 head of cabbage. He estimated the damage at £7.—By Mr Mao- Kechnie: Had held the land six months. There are two oowa on rough land on the other side. No fence to it The cow jumped the fence. A big dog was there, and drove the cow into Campbell's paddock. They did not eat the beans, but made havoo among the peas. The cows went-over a large portion of the garden. He told Campbell that his cows ihad destroyed about 809 cabbages, and would he walk over and see for himself, Campbell said that's all right; the cabbage had been in toe ground three months, and were getting heart; tried to get the cow on Monday night to the pound, bat it turned voluntarily into Campbell's paddock.— To His Worship: the cabbages were unfitted for market, Sidney A, Tait, in the employ ot Messrs Warnock, soap manufacturer; deposed to the condition ot Ah Quit's garden; it was fully cropped; on the -Sunday morning he saw a cow in the garden eating cabbages.

ANTI-COUNTY MEETING AT MATAKOHE.

A MEETING of ratepayers was held in the Matakohe Schoolroom to consider whai action the Board should take to prevent the County Council collecting a county rate, Mr J, Ovens in the chair.—Mr Isbister read extracts from Hansard in relation to the case tried in the Hutt County, where judg ment was given against the Council for trying to recover a county rate in a dis trict where the Road Board had already struck a rate. He also read a letter which had been received from — Mason, Esq., M.H.R., explaining particulars, and that four Judges who heard the case decided that as the Board had made out the valua tion roll and struck a rate thereon, they were the local body within the meaning of the Act. —After considerable discuasion, and Mr Lambert had read letters from chairmen of different Boards condemning County Councils, and had informed the meeting of the great success of his northern petition, and read a letter he had received from Sir George Grey promising his sup port, it was moved by Mr James Smith, seconded by Mr Kirk, "That, in consideration of the great zeal shown by Mr Lambert in re the northern petition, this meeting suggest the Board place the matter in his hands to obtain the opinion of Messrs Hesketh and .Richmond whether the Council can legally collect a rate in the Highway Districts where the local bodies are in full operation." —Carried unanimously.—Moved by Mr Kirk, seconded by Mr Martin, "That the District Board do strike a rate of Is in the £ on all rateable property in the district. "-»- Carried unanimously.—Several ratepayers spoke strongly against Mr Fisher acting Hon. Sec. to the Board, he being in the pay of the County Council, and Mr JLam :>ert called on some gentleman in the meet ing to move the Board to cancel the appoint ment, at least, until such time as the correspondence in connection with the peti ion was concluded ; as for himself he had made arrangements to sell out and go to Auckland, but he would always do what he could to advance the matter in hand*. The treasurer of the District Board said he fully 'concurred with the last speaker, and that it was a false position tor anyone to hold appointments under both Bodies, and he would assist the chairman in per forming the duties of secretary, since it was the desire of the Board to carry on the business of the Board without any paid official.—Moved by Mr Kirk, and seconded by Mr James Smith, " That this meeting suggests the Board accept of the kind offer of the treasurer, and that the advertisement re Mr Fisher's appointment as secretary be cancelled."—Carried unani mously,—Mr Lambert informed the meet ng he was £15 out of pocket besides the great loss of time, exclHsive of the money (£5) advanced to him by the Board to can vass the North re the great Northern peti tion to abolish County Councils, and that he had promised to refund £4, which, if he did, would leave him £19 cash out of pocket; that it had been said Koad Boards could not pay away monies to a canvasser. He wanted to know how was it the Hobson County Council paid a canvasser £10 to obtain signatures to divide the County, and how was it the said Council paid Mr Fisher lOd each meeting to act as reported.—Moved by Mr Kirk and seconded by Mr Martin, " That the Board allow Mr Lambert to retain the money advanced,and that this meeting hold the Board free of liability in the matter, and that it is to be hoped every Board that signed Mr Lam bert's petition will at once subscribe towards the expense incurred, and not allow Mr Lambert to be at any loss thereby.—Carried unanimously.— Moved by Mr McCallum, seconded by Mr Kirk, " That a copy of the minutes of this meeting be forwarded to the Auckland newspapers for publication."— Several rate payers expressed themselves sorry that Mr Lambert was leaving the district, and a hearty vote ot thanks was accorded him for past services, as also to Mr Isbister for his great trouble in going to Maungatoroto and getting the concise information which he had laid before the meeting on the points at issue.—After the usual vote of thauks to the chuir, the ratepayers dispersed.

NEW ZEALAND STEAM SERVICE.

(To the Editor,)

Sib,—New Zealand Steam Services have af forded exerolae for the Ingenuity of all our eminent politicians since the days of Sewel'g inauguration of the Coleman Line. This shrewd Minister owned at a publio meeting in Auck land, that during his visit Home, every possible route upon the chart had been worked oat by local interests as well as by nautical men, with out the least ohanoe of success; that New Zealand—North, and South, could be compre hended by one lino winh satisfaction; that find ing the impracticability of such aim. and the hesitation ot contracting parties, rather than have none at all, he would have accepted an ar rangement that the English mails should be dropped even at the Three Kings.for distribution throughout the long range of north and south ports. With regard to the P. and O. imitation steam service, or monopoly, introduced by Southern men to the House of Assembly, it is clearly seen that all geographical considera tions are ignored, and all other rontes, save the terminal ones of Wellington and Port Cooper, for no nautical authority, would entertain for a moment the visits of a 4,000 tons steamship, bound to time, entering Port Chalmers over a bar with soundings of 15 feet water. When Victoria, too hastily, was drawn Into a contract with the P. and O. Company for an annual pay ment of £80,000 and shutting out the Orient Co. from a sabaldy for performing Bimflar mail car riage doubtless the latter wonld have falien into the views of our southern neighbours, by ex tending their line through Cook's Straits, and thus have rendered a consistent measure of con tentment, and certainly have furnished a first class service of the like kind proposed,—Bat the main feature of a mail service always resolves itself into that of the shortest delivery, and if the sonthern magnates have centered all their deaires upon their geographically distant parts, it becomes necessary to remind them of other projects, which will most assuredly confuse cal culations, in whioh they have comprised the northern and most important portion of New Zealand. Before the stipulated time has ex pired for the virtual loan of one million pounds at 9 per cent,to be raised for a special steam aer vicefor the Southern Ports, the Port of Auok land is promised to to visited by a first class line of swift steamships, dropping mails, Pas sengers and cargoes, one mouth only from Home, via the Tehnantepec Isthmus, by consid erably tho shortest mileage, through the calmest waters of both oceans; and, in course of time, should the P»n»ma C«nal be completed, these latitudes will also be traversed by freights, en route for the Australian oolonles—in addition to the present excellent mail service of San Fran cisco, which will doubtless find sufficient en couragement to continue running, from the rap* idly increasing traffic, which must set in to these shores, now the country is emerging from native obstruction and large areas are being offered for settlement on an extensive and libe ral scale. These considerations must be intro duced to the notice and regard of our Legisla tors, as contras to the project of the South.shew ing the fallacy and injustice of their seeking to borrow » million pounds, at 6 per cent, to be forcibly contributed by the Nortn, where no in terest can be felt in the outlay, for the line which can land Home mails, passergess and cargoes in New Zealaad from a week: to ten days in advanoe ot the proposed scheme, must take the chief trade.—l am, &c.

CORRESPONDENCE.

ONE WORD MORE ON CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—For ten or twelve years I have taken all suitable opportunities of entering a pro. test against continuing the barbarism ot trying to make boys wise and good by cor poral punishment. I could not expect ray solitary protest —even when sustained by powerful and unanswered reasons—to have much effect. Although I might bring examples, many and striking, of the suc cessful working of schools—national and otherwise—from which corporal punish ment is entirely excluded; yet so long as these are all at a distance from New Zealand, they receive little attention. Now, however, I can point to a case nearer Auckland. But rather than allow any. thiog to depend on my statement, I wonld ask the teachers in Auckland themselves to write and obtain information respecting the 1 discipline of the Boys' High School at Obristchnrch, from which all cor poral punishment has been lately ban ished, with results eminently satisfactory. While the South possesses pecuniary advan tages in the way of education which Auck land does not enjoy, it would be a pity if we should voluntarily concede to them a still greater advantage over, us, in a higher and more intelligent moral discipline. We are not far from the day when the eyes of the people will be opened to the greater importance of moral than simply mental training; and as surely as that time comes, will those parents who can send their sons where the character may be formed after a higher model than ever enters into the mind of the schoolmaster who thinks to teach by flogging ?—Yours, &c, SAMUEL EDOER. Augnst 29th, 1881.

BREAKING UP THE ACCLIMATI ZATION WARDENS.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—The determination of the acclimatiza tion Society to sell off everything at their gardens on Tuesday next (to-morrow), must surprise all, and arouse tbeindignation of every honest citizen. We have evidently been leaning on broken reeds—men who have not cared to carry out their trust in a patriotic spirit. If their indifference had allowed them to consider, there were many expedients open to them besides that of hastily disposing of the public property, and consigning the work of acclimatization to the limbo of ill-devised, faint-hearted broken down enterprises. Supposing that these gentlement who undertook the duties of management, felt indisposed to proceed further in the work, have they made over tures to the Domain Board, to take over the accumulated industry and collections of years! Not they. Everyone apparently has been ignored. Did they appeal to the public for funds ? Not they. And it must be within your recollection how failing institu** tions—the Young Men's Christian Asaocia , tion to wit—have been resuscitated. Is the work of acclimatisation completed and ended ? No, sir !It has not begnn. Com paratively nothing has been done to wards the naturalization of plants. 1 This most important branch of ac climatization has been utterly neg lected, Ita importance is such,;that private individuals have undertaken what the Society should have done, and, to their credit be it said, they are now trying to turn our splendid climate and fruitful sou to pro fitable account by introducing plants that will in the course of a few years create a supply of food products which are at pre sent imported. I refer especially to the introduction of sorghum by Mr Justice Gillies, sugar beet by Mr W. A. Graham, and the planting of orange groves at Orakei by Mr William Earl. We may well ask what has the Society done for the farmer as to the introduction of new forage plants, new grasses, hedge plants suitable to our climate and soil, or new root food plants for cattle feed, &c. 1 Such important items were not thought of apparently. The intro duction of game and fish whereby the sportsmen of the future may revel in glorious relaxation, seemed to be the whole aim of our Acclimatisation Society. Every true citizen will thank you for urging the energetic to look after this matter ; the sale of the public property must be stopped, and a new regime instituted. Fresh blood, and amended legislation is necessary. Acclima tisation must proceed. There are still a few left in our midst that have sufficient public spirit to insist upon our splendid public Domain being properly administered, and that the Colonial work of acclimatisa tion be efficiently carried out therein.— Yours, &c, * ADVANCEMENT HOT KETEOGKESSION. Auckland, August 29,1881.

We understand that a special meeting of the Licensed Victuallers Association, con vened by circular, was held this afternoon at the United Service Hotel for the purpose of considering a formal proposal which had been made to them re the establishment of a subsidised journal devoted to their interests. After fully considering the matter, It was. tacitly agreed that although the Star and " Herald " had been a little hard upon the licensed victuallers at times., yet that as they had always afforded the fullest publicity to their proceedings, and-given them every opportunity for representing their side of the caae, there was no reasonable necessity for a change,

Advt.] QUHBN STBBKT TROUBLES.-BELIi V.



(To the Editor of the Star.)



Sib.—Mr Bell has had a -weeks innings re tho above caae, and all concerning this affair, as ie now stands, looks well for him, and bad lor my self. I now desire to say something on the sub ject, aa I consider I have not been very, well treated by Mr Bell, I sold the lease of the premises to Mr Bell, reserving the first floor for my own use for a period of twelve months, at £5 per month; one third of the floor I sublet to Mr Karle, at 15s per week. In tbe beginning of the month of Jnne, I found it necessary to make other business arrange ments, and consequently sought an Interview with Mr Bell, and pointed out to him the olr oumstances, and proposed to release Mr Bell frommytermof occupation of the first floor, bo as to allow him to choose his own tenant, for the part ocoupied by me. Mr Bell, daring that con versation, led me to believe that he would meet my views. On July 7th Mr Barle paid me hlB rent; and said he was about to remove, as Mr Bell talked of increasing his rent. At this period Mr Bell asked me to write a letter to him, stating I was about to give up the ocou nation of the ofnoes, which request of his I complied with, and in reply, received a communication frojn Mr Bell,' to the effect, "he did not see his way to release me, &o. I then advertised the first floor to let, and had many applications from eligible persons, but each and all, on going to view the offices, in variably raturned to me, saying the premises were suitable, and the rent reasonable enough, bnt that they were given to understand when my term of lease had expired the rent was to be nearly doubled. This kind of proceeding went on from the first weeK in Jnly until the time of the aotion tafeen by me, as it was explained in Court; and I now relate the circumstances as justification. Mr 8011, through hia extraordinary action, in lie matter, prevented me telling them, and I in tended to annoy him, in retaliation for his conduct towards me, which has been of a moat eggravating nature: such as refusing me access to the yard, and painting out my business address from the entrance door, and placing a frame in front of my office window ; and to finish places, a rope dangling; about in front of said window, as if to remind me of the adage, " give him rope enough and he will hang himself P which I Sid, by cutting it down.-I am, &c, :-..,■. -■ ■■- KDWIN Bl NN&Y.
