the advantages were admitted, the only question being one of expense. On the oasis proposed, he computed that the cost to the colony would not exceed 460,000, and if they deductedlthe postal receipts it would tml oxceed half that sum. He read a himself to a Clyde ship building firm in 1878, in. which the prospects of the trade were fully dealt with. He went on to say that since then the meat freezing process had opened up new and im proved prospects for the traffic, He looked upon the direct steam question as one with which the interests of the colony and the development of its trade were most inti mately associated. In his opinion there was no time to lose. It. would take at least two years to establish the line pro posed. He knew he would be met by the objections arising out ot the San Francisco service, but that he thought could be effec tually answered. He moved that they go into committee to consider tho report.

Mr JOHNSTON said the proposal to his mind was premature. Tho San Francisco service did not expire till nearly the end of 1883, and it would bs time enough to con sider the matter when that service was about to expire. The Government had already made considerable inquiries on the subject, and beyond that he thought they could not be expected to go for the present. The result of inquiries made by Mr Mac andrew himself some time ago, was that £80,000 Was the lowest figure asked for a much smaller service than that proposed by the report. Inquiries would still be prose cuted by the Agent-General, who had been instructed to communicate with all parties likely to undertake such a service, and by the time Parliament again met they would be in possession of every possible informa tion on the subject. He hoped the House would be contented with the assurance.

Dr. Wallis strongly opposed tho motion,

The House divided on the motion for going into committee —ayes, 49 ; noes, 11. In committee, Mr Macandrew moved, as the first of a series of resolutions, " That this committee is of opinion that the establishment of a direct monthly service with Europe -would very materially promote the interests and development of the re sources of this colony." Mr Wood moved as an amendment, " That they had not sufficient information before them to deal with'the subject, but that the Government should prosecute fur ther inquiries as to the te:ms on which direct communication could be established, and report the result to next Parliament." He contended that it the trade of the colony were ripe for such a service, private enter prise would be found to undertake it with out having recourse to the inducements proposed in the report. The House divided on the motion :— Ayes', 27 ; noes, 31. The motion was lost, and the amendment carried.

RETRENCHMENT.

On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr Bryce moved the motion standing in his name, affirming the desirability of re ducing the estimates by £30,000. He said it had been reported outside to be an inspired motion. He supposed that meant it had been inspired by the Government. Such was not the case, in fact, he did not know, down to the present moment, whether or not the Government intended to accept the proposal. He had purposely framed it so that they would be enabled to accept of it without any loss of dignity on their part. He was fully convinced that the estimates could be reduced £30,000 without in any way impairing the efficiency of the service. The colony was heavily taxed in comparison with other colonies. The total revenue, including taxation and railway prohts did not exceed £2,000,000. The interest on loans and sinking fund swallowed one-and a-half millions of money, leaving only £500,000 to carry on the business of the colony with. Such being the case, it would be seen at a glance that great economy was still required to be practised. Mr GIBBS seconded the motion, and spoke in favour of the proposed reduction. Major Atkinson said he would accept of Mr Bryce's motion in the spirit in which it was made. He did not pledge himself to reduce the estimates to theamount proposed, but they would do their best to give effect. Nor would he say that they could not be able to come down next session and state that they had been enabled to make a reduction"to even a larger amount than that proposed. -The motion was then put, and carried. [COKRTJPT PRACTICES BILL. On the question for leaving the chair, Mr Saundeks moved, " That it was not desir able to proceed with the consideration of the estimates until they had passed the Corrupt Practices Prevention Bill through all its stages." Mr HALL suggested that the Bill should be referred to a select committee. Question put that the House go i nto com mittee. Ayes, 36; noen, 33. SOPPLY. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. Class 2 : Colonial Secretary, printing and stationery, £20,536; sheep, cattle, and bonuses,. £11,227. Passed. Miscellaneous services, £24,490. Item,revision ot statutes, £800. ' . Mr Andrews moved that the sum he re duced £500. Mr STEWART contended that the pay ment was a most improper one. It was paid to the Solicitor-General and a Judge of the Supreme Court. He contended it was most improper. The work could be done in twelve months, but if they continued to vote tkis sum it would, he believed, go on for a century. The actual work was being done by a person who had not received anything, and who had not the name of a Commis sioner. It was an abuse, and ought not to be tolerated. Other members spoke to the same effect. After a statement by the Colonial Secretary that the suggestion made would be carefully considered by the Gov ernment, the item passed as printed. ■ The House continued on the estimates, all proposals for reductions being negatived. Mr ANDREWS said that all his efforts at retrenchment would now appear to be futile. He considered it was unjust to reduce one part of the Civil Service and not another. It was in view of that fact he had taken the stand he bad done. Finding bis efforts of no avail, he would retire from the Chamber altogether, and leave them to do as they chose. - The House safe in Committee of Supply until after three in the morning. After 1.30 the following votes were passed:-In claso 4 District Courts and Supreme Courts. On the vote tor Resident Magistrates and Wardens, Mr Finn drew attention to the conduct of the Warden at Stratford and Kumara, ' and moved a reduction of £100 in salary. Mr Seddon spoke strongly against the Warden's conduct, which he said was driving the population away from the place. Mr Dick promised to ascertain whether it was true the Warden had disregarded the instructions sent to him not to hold bis Courts at night. He would not be allowed to disobey such instructions. Mr Finn withdrew his motion, and the vote passed, as did also votes for criminal prosecutions, fees, and expenses of inquests, contingencies and prisons. At 3.15 progress was reported, and the House adjourned.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"Betsy," an amplified version of "Baby," the comedy which the Lingards' produced with suc cobs during their lastseasonhere,was performed last night at the Theatre With unquestionable effect. The situations ore very laughable, and the dialogue witty aad amusing, bo that all that is needed for bringing out into strong relief the merits of the play are praotised and capable actors. In this respect there was nothing lack ing. A capital caat had been made, and the various characters were admirably sustained, Mr F. Marshall's Dawaon, of course, being the moat -finished portraiture. His byplay and facial expression were quite destructive, even to the most pronounced gravity, as the constant titter of suppresed mirth that circled ronnd the house abnndantly attested, while the effective support which he received from the other mem bers of the company enhanced the general effect considerably. Mies Jennie Watt Tanner filled the role of Mrs MoManus, Miss Adelle that of Madame Pollenta, Misß Maggie Knight that of Betsy, and Mrs McGowun that of Mrs Birket; while the male parts were allotted as follow : Young Birket, alias the Baby. Mr Elliott; Old Birket, MrK. Marshall; Dick Talbot, Mr James O'Brien: and Captain MoManus, Mr Sefton. "Betsy "will be reueated to-night for the last time, and to-morrow the company leave for Napier. _______________

WAITEMATA COVNTY COUN CIL.

The ordinary meeting of the Waitemata County Council was held to-day. Present: "-Councillors Allison (in the chair), Sinclair, Bond, Shea, Cantwell.

Road From Makarau Bridge to Kaukapakapa.—MrS. Percy Smith wrote under date August 26th, acknowledging letter from the Council asking the Govern ment to survey a line of road from Makarau Bridge to Kaukapakapa, and stating that before submitting the question to the Surveyor-General he would like to know (1) if they wished to have the line surveyed from the present bridge, or from the pro posed one on the road known as the West Coast Road; (2) if the Council would proclaim the road and deal with any ques tion of compensation that might arise, so as to secure a line of gradients suitable for a permanent road ; it would be necessary to deviate from the line as at present sur veyed.—Cr. Sinclair said it was the pro posed bridge on the WestjCoast Road that Mr Lamb had in view. Mr Percy Smith . had told him that it was the intention of the Government to survey the road, and

when they had money, to make it. It was only intended at present to connect it with the present road leading from Makarau Bridge. It was agreed, on the motion ot Mr Sinclair, that an answer should be sent; (1) that the required road is from the proposed bridge ; (2) that the Council is not prepared to enter into any question of com pensation, but think it necessary that the road should be laid down."

PtTKEATtTA Pound. —Mr E. T. Dutaur appeared as solicitor for thePukeatua Hieh way Board to object to the pound which had been erected in their district. It had been placed there against the wishes of every ratepayer, and the object was to drive Messrs Dodds and Martin out of the district, Mr Jeffs was the principal mover in tavour of the pound. The question wa* brought up at the annual meeting of the Highway District, and not a hand was held up in favour of the pound.—The Chair man said the Act had been brought into force in the district, and ratepayers had a right to demand 'a pound in each district. Petitions had been received for and against, and the numbers were nearly equal.—Mr Dufaur objected—(l) That the pound was erected against the wishes of the rate payers; (2) that the pound as erected is not in the most central position. He applied that if the pound is opened, the appointment of pound-keeper be left to the ratepayers. If the pound were proclaimed, a special meeting would be held to consider the question, and strong representations would bo made to tho Government in the matter. —The Chairman said the Council would consider the matter. —Mr Maitin, a settler, was allowed to make some remarks on the subject. The pound, he said, was the outcome of petty spite, and was erected in direct opposition to the wishes of the ratepayers. -Messrs Dufaur and Martin then withdrew.—A petition which had been presented^ by Mr Dufaur was read. It protested against the erection of the pound as a gross and palpa ble error, and as likely to deal a serious blow to a hitherto prosperous district.—Mr Bond thought the previous decision should be confirmed.—After some discussion, it was agreed on the motion of Mr Sinclair, seconded by Cr Bond, to inform Mr Dufaur, that in erecting the pound, the Council acted in accordance with the wishes of the majority of the ratepayers as per petition received for and against, and that the pound, being erected, the ground dedicated, and the site approved by the County Engineer, the Council are of opinion that the petition should re main as at present. Ratjhoei Bridge.—Mr H. Allrieht re ported that the bridge over the Kauhori tream would require an additional span, which would cost £40. He asked if the Council would invite tenders for the work. —On the motion of Mr Sinclair, it was agreed that tenders be called for the work, provided that the Rodney County Council will contribute half the cost. Keturning Officer.—Thomas Seaman applied for the position of Returning Officer for the whole of the Waitemata County. He already acted for Manukau and Waiko miti Ridings.—The consideration of the application was deferred till next meeting. Waitakarei Boundaries.—The ques tion of including a portion of Waipareira into Waitakarei JEast Highway District was deferred till next meeting, Wainoi Boundaries.—The question of altering Wainui boundaries so as to in clude part of Pukeatua was brought up.— ilt was decided to write to the Pukeatua Board asking if they are willing to agree to the proposed alteration. Sl AUGHTKR-HOtTSE A CT. —The considera tion of the Slaughter-house Act bye-laws was deferred for a month.

THE SCULLING MATCH, LAYCOCK V. RUSH.

The following account of this match Is given in the Sydney "Bulletin:—"The odds before starting were from 6 to i to 2 to 1 on Layoook but it was noticeable that some of the " talent' were more ready by far to take than to lay. When the men rowed past, up to the starting station—Bash bare-backed and biro-headed Layooek attired, a la Hanlan. in the most sesthetic ot pink silk jerseys—the result of the contest, it seemed probable to an outsider, would, after all, be bat a repetition of past races between the pair. Laycock, as usual, looked more sinewy than muscnlar: Bush, more mus cular than sinewy. Kush seemed strong: Lay coek enduring. People who didn't know any thing of oarsmanßhip, and paid regard rather to the general appearance than to the niochinical accuraoy of a sculler, would have liked En h, who looked bigger (but, by-the-way, Bcaled 2£tb. Icbb) than hia opponent. Laycock stepped into his boat at )23t. 71b. Much has been said con cerning alleged changes in the respective styles of Bush and Laycock, but there was little alteration manifested on Friday. Just after the Btart (a very level one) was effected, Bush, who had the inside station, dashed away, as everyone bad expected, with the lead, pulling a very quick and, for a time, a splashy stroke Laycock rowed more coolly and made no mis takes in style. Before 100 yards had been traver sed, the men's eoulls almost overlapped, a foul nearly occurred, and Laycock gave way. Rush at once took the lead, pulling "all he knew." La/cock, rowing a steady, slaughtering stroke, kept for a while half a boat's length behind, but after TJbr's Point, a quarter of a mile from the Btart, had been passed, Bush increased his ad vantage, and suddenly pot half a clear leDgth of water between the boats, con-, tinning to creep ahead yard by yard until he was more than a boat's length away. Kush steered for the north side. Laycock took a short cut right across to Blaxland's, and wben again they met off the Point, Kush was two and-half boat's lengths in front. One mile in smin 53sec3. Between Blaxland's and the Point the same tactics were adopted by both men, who, when' again they met off Pntney.were found to be at least throe lengths apart. Both were still rowing strongly, and as a question of form and "go it seemed to be any odds on Laycock, for he was breathing through his nose, and apparently taking it easy, while Michael appeared inclined to commence wobbling, and was not only showing his teeth occa sionally, but also steering in a manner which in clined one who attentively studied his countenance through a glass to the conclusion that he was going to crack. But it was not to bo. AtFarnall'spoint things were unaltered; at the Ren and Chickens (2i miles in ldmin 20 hoc) Laycock was still rowing a stern ckaee on the same terms, and at Gladsville Wharf the Clarence ttiver man maintained a pull of 21 leDgthß. At One Man Wharf. KlUa livened up ;so did Rush, who in creased his advantage in the tussle by a quarter ola lengtb. Laycock then dropped it, and Rußh rowed leisurely in, several lengths it doesn't much matter now many—in front. Official time-21min. 283ec. the fastest on record here, but not so very fast when the cir cumstanoeß under which the race was rowed ara considered. Besides a good many made it 21min, Msec.; and over. The stakes, £200 aßide, were paid over iv the evening at Hunt's Inter national Hotel. Laycook was unrepresented Bush (was horn in Ireland, and arrived in Australia while still a child. He is a man ot means, acquired for the greater part in business on the Clarence Biver. He has rowed many races, aohieved many victories, and sus tained many defeats, but whether in good or bad fortune has always proved himself worthy ol the confidence ot his friends. He lovea sculling for its own aake—beoauie it Is manly.and because he believes with reason, that in it may be dis played many ot the sterling qualities which make Britishers what they are; He has tho.heart of a lion, encased in a Heronlean frame—one which, added to Michael's manly face, woild command attention in any city of the world, of which it has long been his ambition to be champion sculler. Had Bush commenced to row earlier, and been trained properly, he might have realißed his dream. But now, he is gettUg to wards forty. "All things come too late."

Mr G. R. McNab has purchased the steamer Tarn o' Shanter, and intends to re place her immediately in the Wade, Pnhoi, and Matakana trade.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE THAMES.

A MINE MANAGER KILLED,

Information of a fatal and most painful accident reached town this forenoon, stat , ing that Mr Kobert Wingate, manager of the Queen of Beauty mine, Thames, had fallen down the shaft last night, and had been killed almost instantly. Mr Me- Donald, of the Insurance Buildings, re ceived two communications as follow? •. - (1) " Wingate fell down shaft last night and killed. Written particular by steamer to-day." (2) " Sad news. Wingate was killed in shaft last night.— Kouald McDonald." ©This morning's " Advertiser " gives the following account of the accident:—" We regret to announce this morning—and the sad intelligence will be received with sorrow by the entire population of the Thames—"that Mr K. Wingate, the popular and enterprising manager of the Queen ot Beauty mine, met with his death last night in a similar manner to that which befel the late Mr McGregor in November last. It appears that there was a hitch in the working of the pumps which called for the special supervision of the manager, and at 10 o'clock he appeared on the surface in connection with the business of the miuf. A few minutes later he was seen, and held a conversation with Mr Cullen at the top of the shaft. At 10.20 the pitman, Mr Stone, accompanied by Mr McCabe, pro ceeded to the landing at the 180 feet level, and discovered a lighted candle. They at once concluded that something was wrong, and to their horror and surprise immedia tely after came across the lifeless body of Mr Wingate. They at once took steps t o take it to the surface, and repotted the accident to the police, and Sergeant Murphy imme diately proceeded to the mine, and, in com pany with a few of the miners who had been summoned, assisted by Constable Dunn, conveyed the body to the Cornwall Arms, where it now lies to await a coroner's inquest. A messenger sent by Sergeant Murphy, went immediately for Dr. Huxtable, who, on arrival, of course found life extinct. On examination it was found that the bones of the skull were shattered completely and the neck broken, and an effusion of blood over the head and face. There are also scalp wounds. On the medical examination the body was found to be still warm, which proves that the accident could not have happened many minutes prior to the body being discovered by Messrs Stone and McCabe. An inquest will be held to-day, when more concise par ticulars will undoubtedly be forthcoming.

Mr Wingate had been a most successful miner in connection with this field, and had been fortunate in most enterprises in which he embarked. He leaves a widow and a family of six or seven children, the youngest of which is only four months old.. The sad intelligence was at a later period communicated to Mrs Wingate, and Bhe almost immediately proceeded to the hotel but the good offices of Sergeant Murphy pre vailed, and she was induced to return home without viewing the remains.

A RAILWAY-MAN'S GRIEVANCE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,— -Recently I had a long conversation ■with a platelayer, who, as the subject changed from stonewalling and waste of time by our members, to the ten per cent, reduction, began ts bite his lips, and clench his fist, and say :—" We have the same amount of work to do as the men of the South, but do not receive the same scale of wages. At the. same time we have the same to pay into the revenue. Our Auck land railways are bringing in good profit. The lengths have to he walked every Sunday and we get nothing for the work, besides being thus compelled to break the Sabbath day. When the first part of the Kaipara line opened from Newmarket, Mr -— told the platelayers that they must be at their work at seven o'clock in he morning; thus, the; Government are

encroaching upon us instead of redressing our grievances. m We railway men never get holidays, " like other departments. We have to . work on Christmas Day and Good Friday, whilst Go vernmeot spend money in running volunteers up and down the country which there is no necessity for. Telegraph men are relieved from duty on the Sabbath day, the police force have received their ten per cent, back; we ought to have received ours two months ago, but have not receve d it yet; no one will see into our grievances. It is illegal for us to send to Press, thus we are like men that have seen the day of grace pass by,—we have no hope. Now, Mr Editor, as on elector I should like to know why these wrongs are not put right, and who gave our railway officials authority to make men work nine hours a day. If no one can tell when Hamlin and Harris comes back, we shall have to give them particular fits.—l am, &c, A Well-Wisher to tbe Wobking Men.

A telegram was received to-day stating that eight pounds of specimens had been obtained from the Tokatea low lev3l this morning. " You can't both eat your cake and have it,"—Ancient Proverb. No! Well then, how are you going to eat your cake if you don't have it ? It's a mighty good thing for the reputation of the people who bnilt these proverbs that they are dead, and can't be stumped by tough questions. Several of the members of tho Band of Hope Union Choir have not yet secured their tickets for the Thames. They should do so at once by applying to Mr Tudehope. plumber, Upper Queen-street, as the secretary has left for the Thames.

This completes an unbroken chain of railway com munication between the oity of Auckland andx the Hot Lake district, which is the contra point of attraotton for tourists to New Zealand' The cost of the Hr.o has been estimated—after verycaieful survey and exploration—by Jas. Stewart, Ksq,, late District Engineer, to be £2,000 per mils for the first section of thirty-five miles, &1.500 per mile for the second section of HI toon milo3, and £3.000 per'mile for the final section of twenty-four miles; making a total cost for construction (on the Bcale of the Govern ment railways, and excluaive of rolling stock) of £209,500. 'Ihe cost ot buildings and rolling stock id estimated at £33,000, making a total ooat of £247,600. It is proposed to construct the first section of thirty-five miles under the provisions of "The District Railways Act, 1878," by which, the Colonial Government is pledged to the payment ot 2 per cent, interest on the cost of construc tion and equipment, and the neighbouring lands (rated in proportion to the benefits derivable from the construction of the line) may do made liable for interest to the extent of a further 5 per cent, thus giving a certain interest of 7 per cent. on the investment, even if the line itself only pays working expenses. The majority of the landowners abutting on this section have ex pressed their willingneßS that their properties Bhall be brought under the operation of "The District Railwa/s Aot," For the construction of the second and third sections, passing, as they do, through native lands, which it is not possible to bring under " The Distriot Railways Act," the natives of Ro torua have agreed, through F. D. Fenton, if sq., to Rive a blook of 72.000 acres as an endowment, and the Colonial Government has promised to ask for power, under the '• Railway Conßtruo tion and Lands BUI," by which a grant o( 28,000 acres may be Riven to the Company as a further endowment for the construction of the line. The prospects ofimmediate and very consider able traffic on the line are as good or better than could be shewn on any new line in New Zealand. The rapid stridos made during the last few years in the Upper Thames and Wai kato districts show that the country has a power of production and of supporting a largo popula tion in proportion to its area equal to any other part of the colony. The projected railway line will open up an area of from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 acres of available land, ready for immediate occupation, but at present wholly unoccu pied, owing partly to the want of means of communication, and partly to the fact that the great bulk of this territory has but recently been acquired from the native owners. Tne settlement of this extensive area must, neces sarily, for someyears to come, oreate a very large import traffic, and year by year, as settle ment proeresses, the export traffic of grain, stock, and other produce must also increase to very large dimensions. But, independently of the ordinary sources of supply towards a rail way traffic which agricultural and pastora settlement of the oountry affords, there are speolal reasons which justify the expectation of an unusually rapid development of a varied, ex tensive,'and paying business on this line. It is now generally known that the purchasers of the lands known as the Patetere Distriot are taking active steps towards the immediate colonisation, by comparatively small holders, of the whole of the lands they have acquired or are acquiring, tbrough the agency or a power! m company in England. The importations conse quent on the introduction of a large population cannot fall to be very considerable during the first years of their settlement. Ag&in, the line in its course to Obinemutu tape a valuable forest of magnificent timber, from which—as soon as the line ia completed so far— the whole of the Upper Thames and Waikato districts will, undoubtedly, draw their supplies ot timber for house building, fencing, and firewood; and last, but certainly not least, the large and ever increasing stream of tourists visiting New Zealand from all parts of the world, attracted by the wonders of Ohine mutu and Rotomahana, will certainly prefer to U3e this lino ot railway, which will convey them easily in one short day from tne city of Auck land to the Hot Springs, by an easy and most interesting route, thus giving to the line the exceptional advantage of a large passenger traffic at once, quite irrespective of the ordinary passenger traffic of the country. It may also be pointed out that for a distance ot fully forty miles the line proposed must, at a future and no very distant date, form part of the main line connecting Auckland with N apier aud Wellington, through the interior of the island. For these reasons, and for others too numerous to mention, the Provisional Directors feel fully justified in recommending the undertaking to the Public as a work ot National, as well as local importance. They have no hesitation in affirming their belief that, as an Investment of capital, it will be directly remunerative, and they confidently expeot the hearty support of the people ot Auokland, both town and country, in a work which cannot fail, immediately on its completion, to add, as no one undertaking has added before, to the population, production, and the import and export trade of the whole Pro vincial district The Nominal Capital of the Company It is pro posed to fix at £400,000, in 400,000 Shares of £1 each. The first issue ot Shares to be 100,000, and tha payments 2a 6d per share on application; the balance by seven different Calls at 26 6deaca, to be made after ths commencement of the work, at intervals of not leas than two months.
