PARLIAMENTARY.

{FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

AUCKLAND MATTERS. ', The meeting of Auckland members to consider the volunteer question had to be postponed till to-morrow, owing to inability to get a clerk for the occasion. : When it comes on the question of the Auckland Museum will also be considered. THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT. There is a probability that the question of moving the seat of Government may again come up this session. There is a strong party favourable to it, and there is no donbt the feeling has been growing stronger during the last three years on the part of Southerners to have the capital re moved to uhristchurch. FREE TRADE IN LAND. Considerable amusement has been caused here by McKechnie's original lecture on the "Magic of Property," many members recognising in his ronnded periods copions extracts from an old friend, "Kay's Free Trade in Land," pablished, I think, in 1866. One or two hon. members say, jokingly, that if the lecture were published in pamphlet form, as suggested, _ Kay's executors would have a good action for . literary piracy. AN OLD QUARREL HEALED. Mr Ballance and Sir George Grey have made up past differences, so far as speaking terms-are concerned, and are now frequently in close confabulation. It is questionable, • ' however, after what occurred between the ■ ;two during the Grey regime whether they 1 : are likely to unite in one party. :' ~ THE VOLUNTEERS. ■ •;. Mr Swanson has received a letter from ,-' Mr Leßoy, of Auckland, re the Volunteer question, and Sir G. M. O'Rorke is to call a meeting of Auckland members to-day , ■ (Tuesday) to consider what steps should be taken in the matter. '. . An influential deputation of volunteer ~';,.. officers, including members of both Houses, / . waited on the Minister of Defence yesterday _j ~to urge upon the Government the claims of the volunteer force. They referred to Mr ,',; Tole's question for Tuesday about theinten . tions of the Government re volunteers and ' particularly asked for the restoration of capitation or its equivalent, the encourage ment of camps of exercise, the adoption of a uniform dress throughout.'■ the colony, -the supply of ordinance, camp equipage, and ether appliances in which the force is at present very deficient. Mr Kolleston, in j ,j reply, intimated that the Government could. " ~,'., not say definitely what they proposed to do . 0 , for volunteers in the estimates, seeing that ~lj the latter were to he laid upon the table of V: thejHouse in a few days. He quoted the re ' ~ports of Colonel Scratchley and General ;, Davidson to the effect that at present the , , ;volunte,er. force was in an unsatisfactory con ;, .ditiqn owing to efficiency being.,sacrificed ! through multiplication ; or corps.

WELLINGTON, this day,

The " Pirates of Penzance" had a crowded house last night, and the piece went off most successfully. Nine-tenths of the members of both Houses were there, but many say it is not so good as "Pinafore."

CHRISTCHURCH.Ithis day.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

A man named Samuel Thornelly, aged 48, was killed this afternoon near Mount Eden by a fall of earth, which completely crushed him, and when extricated, life was found to be extinct. The deceased was a carter in the employ of Messrs Winstone Bros., resided at Parnell, and has left a wife and several children to mourn their loss. Mr Winatone received the news of the fatal accident from another carter, but as yet full particulars are not to hand. It is expected that an inquest will be held to-morrow on the body.

THE HERALD AND THAT BOGUS REVIEW.

The 'Herald' this afternoon put out'a paper on their board notifying that a copy of the Revised New Testament coulrlbe seen with in. Will the 'Herald' say wheretheygot theii, copy from, and whether they had it in their possession 'when they published, as their own compilation, the bogus Yankee extracts yesterday morning. If so, what do they mean by gulling their subscribers in this way? If our contemporary had the copy last night, why was the announce ment that it could be seen in the office delayed for a notice on the board to-day,instead of publishing it in this morn ing's paper ? Now that it has got a genuine copy, however, it is due to the people who have been taken in by its bogus review, to make an ample apology.

LETTER FROM PARIHAKA.

(FKOM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]

r THE FRICTION OF 1,5 0,0 NOSES, The last of the political prisoners were welcomed back by Te Whiti and his people on thel7th, at a very large gathering. The usual shouts" of the' customary wails 'resounded 'on all sides, and the last returned prisoners, 147 in number' we:re stationed around the meeting square, whe:re they were visited in turn by every adult Maori present, who rubbed noses with each consecutively. It must have been* a trying time for .their noses, as, each prisoner had to receive on his nose the pressure of at least 1,500 other noses in turn. Proposals to stay proceedings were received with "noes," and no one Knows but those concerned the plau of meeting which each nose knows. The proceedings lasted till late in the evening, and then the returned natives were taken into the meut ing-houses, as leave had not been given' to them to disperse to their respective homesi. A SETTLEMENT STILL FAR OFF. Whilst the meeting was proceeding, Tohu's people at the Parapara were ob structing the contractors engaged in metalling the road. It is the opinion of the majority that more agitation will shortly ensue. Te Whiti's speech points to that conclusion, and, as far as any settlement having been'arrived at, we are as far ad vanced as wo were three years ago, and mo further. What has been done is worse than useless because it.is done without the. consent of those interested. The natives ask for* a certain amoant of freedom, to have their status known and decided, and they are given reserves. The bread and the stone. ___________»

There is no hope in saving her. The steamer is considerably damaged for ward, and her foremast is gone by the deck. The wreck is not approachable except from seaward. Tugboats are in attendance, and efforts are being made to float her, but their success is doubtful.

MR. SHEEHAN BEFORE HIS CONSTITUENTS.

(BY TELECHtAPH.)

THAMES, Tuesday. Me. J. ShEEHAN, junior member for the district, addressed a meeting of the electors last night in the Theatre Eoyal. His Worship the Mayor (Mr W. Wilkin son) occupied the chair. - Mr Bheehan, who was received with cheers, prefaced his remarks with an apology for the delay caused by illness, which had taken place in coming before his consti tuents. He then went on to speak of Pateteie. He asserted that he was the first man to establish the Crown pre emption over it, and that when he came to office he drove every land purchaser except two out of the North Island. He pro claimed every block upon which the Go. vernment had paid a shilling, but after wards the thing was knocked on the head. It was false to say that he changed his political opinions when|he became a minister, tie had now had ten years of public life, and in proof of his sincerity in the service of the people and their cause he could point to the ' fact that he had sacrificed the practice of a lucrative pro fession in order to do what he could to sustain his party. He was prepared to vote for the resumption at any time ot Government purchase. He had never changed his opinion on that subject, and he had never, either, in Bpite of all the opportunities he had had, bought a single acre of land for himself. The statement that he had severed his connection with Sir George Grey was also untrue. He always mentioned Sir George Grey's name with the greatest respect; he had stood by him in all the vicissitudes of the party He had also been the supporter of Mr John Williamson, one of the best friends that Auckland, or any other part of New Zealand, ever bad. As to native affairs, he could say without fear of contradiction, that whatever had been done to improve the condition of native affairs, had been done by the Grey Government. For many years the Maorh as a people lived m isolation, and the first step'towards effecting a reconciliation was made by the Grey Government. He had been traduced in various ways in connec- tion with native affairs. He had been blamed for extravagant and unwarrantable expenditure,' but had passed every half penny he had expended as Native Minister through the audit office. That had not been invariably done before his time. He remembered Sir Donald McLean send ing in his little bill for the Native Office amounting to £80,000, arid that was all the information vouchsafed to Parliament upon it. He remembered two other occasions when the House was told that they must pay £23,000, but no particulars were given, and when they vrex& demanded, details were refused. These were the good old days of native affairs. He himself had expended not only the resources he had as a public servant, but the resources he possessed as an individual for the benefit of the public, leaving office comparatively without a shilling. He had gone back to his own busi ness/ ' He had been told that the* Govern ment abandoned the purchase of native lands. Was he to be told that he must remain apart froni every opportunity of earning hts living ? Was it fair to a man whom you told to go about his business to deny him the use of a pick and shovel, by means of which he might earn his bread ? He was in that position, bat he might tell those that were interested that they would riot-be able to hold these lands they had purchased. With regard to local Govern-' ment we had it with a vengeance. We had been presented with such a complexity of institutions that the greatest confusion prevailed and it was scarcely possible to determine now in what diroction the authority of each extended. He would do his best to have this local Government simplified, and, if it were possible, he would still support the old provincial system which had worked so well. Turning to local matters, he felt sure that the electors would give Sir George and himself credit for having done everything in their power likely to promote the growth and settlement of the Thames district. He had done what he could in advocat ing the construction of the Thames and Waikato railway fully pursuaded that it would pay. Before long his voice would a<min be heard at Wellington upon this subject. The fact was that the principal indictment against the Grey Government was their advocacy and encouragement of this line. Still he would relax none of his endeavours to make this line an accomplished fact, and he would con tinue to further the interests .', of the Thames people as far as he could, and by every legitimate means in his power. He challenged criticism of his public acts. He had never forgotten the duties he owed to those who had sent* him to Parliament, and at the same time he had borne in mind the duties he owed to tho public at large aDd the country. He defied any man to say that he had ever sacrificed the public interest to his own benefit or the profit of his friends. He left office a poorer man he had entered it, and he had no fear of the judgment that would be pronounced upon his political career by I any impartial person. Until the Grey Government came into office the Thames district was wholly neglected, but, if the Thames ppople were true to themselves, their turn of prosperity would cqme again; their lands would be populated and settled, and there was every reason ta believe that that would come about much sooner than they anticipated. In answer to questions Mr Sheehan said he believed that the land of the State should bear a proportion of the taxation ; that he would support a capita tion allowance to volunteers ; and that he would do his best to enable Qhinemnri leaseholders to obtain the fee simple of their land, Sergeant Morrison a9ked "Where you afraid of the discovery of that £40,000 in the pigeon-hole after you left office ?" To which Mr Sheehan replied, amid laughter and cheers.that the gentleman who looked into the aforesaid pigeon-holes must have found there a mare's neat.

Another elector asked: Will you support a measure to give Roman Catholic Schools a fair portion of the education funds.—Mr Sheehan answered: I tell you at once that I am a supporter of 'the present education system. I believe I have incurred the displeasure of some of my own people for being so. I cannot help that. I can only speak my mild, (Cheers.) Mr Comer moved, and, Mr Greenville seconded, " That this meeting having heard the address of .Mr John Sheehan, one of the representatives in the General Assembly, desire to thank him therefore, and to express their entire confidence in him as their representative. Mr Samuel VHutchinson, amidst great disorder, proposed as an amendment, " I'hat this meeting thank Mr Sheehan for his ad dress j at the same time they express their want of confidence in him as their represen tative, he having betrayed the trust confi ded to him by this electorate." There were very few hand's held up for the amendment and the resolution was carried by a large mThe declaration of the result was followed by general cheering. _ ■The usual compliment having been paid the chair the assemblage dispersed.

GENEKAL SUMMA.BT.

In the House of Commons, Gladstone, replying to a question, said no immediate prospect exists of reducing the interest on Consols; that the House would have an opportunity of expressing its view on the subject when the conversion of annuities came under discussion. McCarthy's motion for a vote on the Irish Executive was rejected by a vote of 130 to 22. (Parnell's followers have | dwindled down to these slender figures ) Jos. Cowen (Radical) was the only English member who voted with the minority. During the debate on the motion, Wm. JH. Johnson, Liberal member for the Mallows, said the result of the action of the Land League had been to bring Ireland to her present deplorable condition. In the House ot Commons to-day, Lord Hartington, Indian Secretary, replying to a question by Lord Spencer Churchill (Con servative), indignantly denied the news paper stories that the sum of £25,0C0 had been promised General Sir Frederick Roberta for hia Afghan campaign, and £12.500 was substituted when it was ascer tained that General Roberts disapproved the evacuating of Oandahar. Constantinople, May 17.—Dispatches from the Sanitary Administration in Mesopotamia state that the mortality from the plague in Nedjef was fifty-six per day for the week ending May 2nd. Twenty four thousand inhabitants are disposed in camps completely isolated. These camps are now qiiite free from the plague, as are also the localities of Elaeayad and Ojara, whence the disease was originally pro pagated. The remaining inhabitants of Nedjef will leave shortly, when the officials will be able to completely destroy all the latent germs of the epidemic. Lord Selbourne, the Lord Chancellor, in a letter to Right Reverend Christopher Wardsworth, Bishop of London, expresses the opinion that the revised Testament cannot be read in the English Church until it has been recommended or authorized by some sufficient public authority, and that any clergyman so using it incurs a penalty as an offender against the law. Professor Robertson Smith was suspended by the assembly of the Free Church from teaching his classes at Aberdeen University for certain writings, particularly an article on the Hebrew language and literature. He has accepted an offer from Blacks, the publishers of the work in which the objec tionable article appeared. A French veterinary surgeon has dis covered a remedy by inoculation for a sick ness called " Charbon," which kills a million francs' worth of sheep yearly. CATHOLIC NOBLES AND ARCH-

BISHOP CROKE. New York, June 3.—The "World's"

London special says : It is reported to-day that some of the English Catholic Peers, who, in the absence of a Papal nuncio in England, act as agents between the Vatican and Downing-street intend to bring Arch* biehop Croke's utterances before the Pope. The young Duke Norfolk, although a Liberal in politics, is knowa to be as -hos tile as any Tory in the Parnell movement. The Earl of Donleigh is a Tory, as are aIBO Earl Ashburnhum and the Earl of Oxford, but Lord Howard, Lord Safford, Earl of Graham, Lord Petre, Lord Vaux of Harrowden, Lord Clifford of Chudleigh, and other Catholic peers! are Liberals. In any question, affect ing the landed interest the Catholic nobility in England almost invariably casts its influence on the fiery side, and a united protest from them against the League, backed as it undoubtedly would be by Cardinal Manning, could not fail to have great weight at Rome.—Manning, yester day, in an address to the members of the League of the Cross denied that he had re fused the use of Catholic halls to the Land Leaguers, but counselled the society to keep clear of it. >; GREETING AKCHBISHOP CROKE. Dublin, June 3.—Archbishop Croke has returned to Thurles, County Tipperary, after delivering a series of speeches on tbe land question, which the opposition jour*, nals assert would have led to his arrest if he had been other than a Catholic Bishop. On his return to Thurles, he was met two miles from town by a band of musicians and 3,000 people, with flags and banners, bearing; patriotic Irish inscriptions. He was brought in procession to the Archiepiscopal parish, Episcocal.Palace. The people were with difficulty restrained from taking the noises from the carriage and drawing it themselves. ~ U'DONNEL DARES THE GOVERN MENT TO ARREST ARCHBISHOP CROKE. < London. May 24.— In the Honse of Commons to-day, O'Donnel (Home Ruler), member for Dungaryen, speaking in sup port of the resolution on the arrest of Father Sheeny and Dillon, made a bitter attack on Forster, Chief Secretary for Ire land. He said the airest of Father Sheehy excited even stronger feelings than if Arch bishop Croke had been arrested. It was, perhaps, deemed safer to arrest a curate than an archbishop, but though the act was cowardly it was by no mean safe. He pro ceeded to attack the Government for assis ting to evict poverty-stricken people, and stigmatised the recent circular, urging the police to greater vigilance, a direct incite ment to the fabrication of evidence. Chief Secretary Forster said he refused ' to dwell upon O'Donnoll's assertions, because ' they were unfounded. He had hitherto refrained from Entering upon the particulars of Dillon's arrest, because feared it might endanger the safety and even lives of particular individuals. He then proceeded to quote from the incendiary speeches of Dillon and Father Sheehy. Forster admitted that tbo Government had proclaimed Dublin in ordor to be able to arrest Dillon.- They could not, he said, arrest people for " Boycotting," but when the people were put in personal danger, they had made arrests, and would do so again. If the Government saw a conspiracy to commit robbery by armed resistance to the law, they would , not allow the conspiracy' to succeed,, even though the persons to' 'be robbed were landlords. They would arrest" the instigators and abettors of outrages, were they members of Parliament or of the JLand League, or clergymen. He looked forward, he said, with some alarm at what was going on, but hoped that by sending an over* whelming force wherever resistance was expected they should be able to maintain peace.—-O'Sullivan (Home Ruler), member from Limerick County, moved an adjourn ment of :,: the debate.—Callan (Liberal) seconded the motion.—Gladstone- charged the Irish members with not daring to face a division on the resolution.— Parnell supported the motion for adjourn ment of the debate. He charged the Gov ernment with obtaining the Coercion Act by false.pretences and by gagging the Irish, members. Bat they would not lie said, succeed in silencing them {again. Callan was speaking at 7 p. m., when tbe debate was adjourned in accordance with the standing orders. ORDERS TO THE CONSTABUDARY IN IRELAND. New York, June 3.—The "World's" London special says: The reports that a nerious eviction riot had occurred at Scariif were unfounded, Shots vrere exchanged at Scariff, but no one was injured, The con -Bta.bulary fired over tb,e. heads, of their as sailants. Therejs no doubt, however, that a bitter feetjng exists between the police and the people. Resident Magistrates have been cautioned agrinst reading the Riot Act except on the aravest occa sion, i and even when the police receive the word af command to fire, they are charged to fire at least two blank volleys into the air before firing into the mob, and the bayonet charges they have to make use of the butts of their rifles rather than their bayonets, unless, of course, their lives are in imminent danger. Similar orders have been issued by Sir T, Steele, Coramanderin-chief of th.c forces in Ireland, to the'general officers commanding the various districts. It requires no large stock of bravery there fore for a mob to atone the military and police. The peasants know what the orders ot the latter are,"and make good their retreat before the ominous words, " With ball-cartride prime md load," are given. The soldiers are rather popular than other-' wise with the peasantry, but the police are detested and suffer terribly in almost daily collisions. ■ DETAILS OF THE DISASTER TO H.M. DOTEREL. , LONDON, May 18.—Advices irom St. Vincent state that the details have been re ceived there of the disaster to the sloop-of war Doterel, which was blown up at Sandy point, in the Strait of Magellan, involving a loss of 143 lives. There were two ex plosions, the first supposed to have been tbe bursting of a boiler used in condensing sea water. The second was in the froward magazine. The vessel went down, boW fore most, in eight fathoms of water is three minutes, and nothing was seen after the second explosion except a few planks. The survivors saved their lives by jumning over board after the first explosion.
