Mr HALT, announced that the steamers, North and Sooth, had been detained, and would not leave to-morrow until the busi ness was finished. MR SEDDON AND MR FYKB. Mr SaDDON called attention to a misre presentation of what transpired between himselt and Mr Pyke on the occasion of the passing of the Railways Construction Sche dule, 'and published in tho Christchurch Press. He denied that the foul language imputed to him in the paper had been used "by him, and that any such scene as stated had occurred. The facts had been correctly reported by the Press Associa tion. He detailed how he had subse quently met Mr Pyke, and they shook hands, and he had a glass of wine with him. Indeed the whole thing had dropped there, and he had freely forgiven the cause of the disturbance, as he could forgive the writer of statements which no respectable paper would have published. Mr MACANDRBW suggested that the time of the House should not be taken up with such matters. He never took notice of newspaper paragraphs. Sir W. Fox said that the affair referred to was the most disgraceful scene he had ever witnessed in the House. He was present, but had not heard the words. He was, however, satisfied that there was no exaggeration and no misstatement in the account given by the Christchurch Press. Mr Hurst being appealed to by Mr Sod don, as his name was used in the Press, said that Mr Seddon had made use of lan guage of a very objectionable and improper character. Mr Pyke then looked about for a stick, as he thought, to strike at Mr Sed don. He and Mr Turnbull then interfered to prevent a scene. He would not have said anything on the subject had lie not been appealed to, but he felt bound to state the truth. He added that after the first words Mr Seddon behavod very calmly and well. The motion for adjournment, on which the discussion proceeded, was then with drawn. PROGRESS OF MEASURES. Major Atkinson moved the third read ing of the Customs and Excise Duties Bill. —Carried, and Bill passed. The Special Powers and Contracts Bill was further considered in committee. After a lengthened discussion ou the schedule re lating to Onehunga reserve, Mr SwAKSON moved that progress be reported. Ayes, 19; noes, 34. Eventually the schedule was amended, providing that the Crown grant for the Onehunga endowment might be issued by Government after Ist June next, unless Parliament should otherwise deter name. The BUI was read a third time and passed. SUPPLY, On the question for sroing into Committee of Supply, Mr MACANDREW said that he regretted the course of events precluded him moving hia resolutions re local self government. He regretted this very much, as although he bad no desire to take a prominent part in the local government movement, still he believed he could have thrown important light on the subject. As it was, he would have to be content to deal with the subject when he appeared before his constituents. SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES. The HoHse continued in committee of supply on the supplementary estimates. Class 1: Legislative, £3.648 ; item cutlery and electro plate for bellamys, £98, was struck out on the voices.

THE TOKATEA,

Tokatsa, this day.

I have just inspactcd tha mine. The face of the low level looks splendid. I have never seen it looking better for gold. The last time I was in the tunnel it was confined to the hanging wall, which, the old Tokatea hands informed me, was never the position of the reef when rich gold was got, but that the best specimens wore invariably got when the reef was on the foot wall. It has now assumed its trueposition.having crossed during the last 48 hours. The manager last night observed a marked change in the lode, and instructed the contractors to have all the stone saved. Shortly afterward* strong gold was seen, and twenty pounds of speci men and picked Btone were obtained.

He was ten years old. Mr Palmer was quite -willing to pay for his malnte nanoe.-Ordered to the Naval Training School for four years, _ Receiving Stolen Property.—SeorKe Cos, a yoang lad, was charged with receiving la. knowing the same to haro been stolen, aj Auckland, on September 2lßt.—Mr Pardy said thia charge waß connected with the last one. There was only the evidence of one boy agaiiißt another, and under the circumstances, he would withdraw tho prosecution.—Dismissed. CONSPIRACY. Manrioe Kelly, Brnest Frost, Thomas Kelly, Nicholas Casey. William Wilson. William Mor ton, Robert VVUon, and Jaine3 Froet were charged that they did unlawfully and wickedly conspire, combine, and agree together to commit the orime of perjury, an otfenca punishable by law.at Auckland, on August 11. Mr Tyler for tho Kellya and Wilsonß, and Mr Laishley for Morton, Caaey, and Frosts. Mr Hudson Williamson, Crown Prosecutor, said before asking for a remand, he would re auest that tho informations be read over. The informations were then read to the pri soners by the Clerk of the Court. That laid against Maurice Kelly was also for arson. Mr Hudson Williamson asked that the ad journment might be brief in order that the cases should come before the approaohing sessions of the Supreme Court. He applied for an ad jonrn ment till Tuesday next, Messrs Tyler and Laishley asked that the re mand should not be for less than eight davß, in order that they might have tune for defence, Mr ljaishley thought the prosecution snonld state the charges they intended to take when the cases next came on, in order that thoy might know what they had to meet. The charges in cluded perjury, arson, and conspiracy, be askod that bail be fixed. Mr Hudson Williamson said he did not think a lengthy adjournment necessary, as the counsel for defence had the whole circumstances of the caae at their finger ends. Referring to the Btate ment of Mr Laiahloy that the men bad not attempted to escape, and that ball should ba fixed he said that the prisoners and theit friends had used the telegraph wires pretty freely, but in what direction he would not yet say. He wou'd consent to the case beiixa taken next Wednesday or Tnursday. His Worship said that aa he, being one of the witnesses in the case, could not sit on it, he would, therefore, consult Mr MabDonald aa to what day would be the most convenient to His Worship then retired, and shortly after wards returned and announced that the re mand might be made till Friday, 30th. Mr Tyler, in applying that bail be allowed, said there was no desire on the part of the prisoners to avoid the charge. When they heard that warrants were issued, they met to gether and gave themselves up. Mr Laishley sajd a number of the witnesses for the defence were at present living in the Wnikato and other parts of the pountry. and it was consequently problematical whether ho would be able to go oa with the case on the 30th. His Worship said he would fix ball as follows: —All the prisoners to bind themselves in reoog nlfailces of £.00 each, and two of £50 each; Wilson and Morton, on the two extra charges, toilOO ea°h. and two of £50 each; and Kelly, on the more serious charge of arson, £200, and two °'jfs IBAULlBAULT-Francis MoMahon was charged wUh unlawfully and malipiously kicking Louisa McMabon; and thereby wounding her. There was a second charge of assaulting John Mo- Mahon. by striking him on the head with a pieae of wood, at Auckland, on lvth instant.- Mr Pardy said there were circumstances whloh preventea tho second charge from being gono on with at present-Mr Tyler appeared for defendant, and while pleading guilty, said Mrs McMahon was desirous of having the chirge withdrawn. Prisoner was under the influence of drink at the time. Considering that the man had already been punifhed he would ask that the cbaraebe with drawn.—Mr Pardy said the assault was a very serious one, and he thought the case one of those which it was the duty of the polioe, in the interests of the public to step in and take out of tho hands of private parties He would call the doctor, who would state the extent of the irjuries.—Dr. Wine deposed that he was called to see Mrs MoMahon. She was in an hysterical condition, her face was covered with blood, and her body with bruises. The Injuries were not dangerous, and the woman was now recovering.

—His Worship said he was trawiling to send a poreon of prisoner's age to gaol, but the offence was one whioh he oonld not overlook. He would order him to pay » fine of &v and £1 8s costs, or take one month's imprißonment with hard labour; and farther, to be bound in his own recognizances of £50 and one surety ot tne same amount to keep tho peace for three "indecent Assault. - Thomas Poole was oharged with unlawfully and lndecontly assault ing a girl named Jane Ann Hodson under the ase ol twelvo years.-Tho Conrt was cleared. —Mr Hesketh appeared to watoh the case lor defendant. - Mr Fardy stated the facts of. the case.

PROPOSED CITY IMPROVE MENTS.

Fob some time past the municipal autho rities have had under their consideration the desirability of improving the means of com munication between Queen-street and the eaitern extromity of the city. At present Victoria-street Eastwakind of culdcsac, -while the neighbouring thoroughfares appear to have been designed more with the idea of surprising and puzzling the pedestrian than with any sytematised view of facilitating access to the city or of consulting the con venience of residents. Xhis want of definite arrangement, and the con sequent need of improvement have been discussed many times during the past few years, but the magnitude of the work, and the engineering difficulties asso ciated with it hare always disconcerted the Councillors and induced them to defer a decision with regard to it. The commence ment of the operations at the Albert Park, however, have again had the effect of bringing the other contemplated works un der notice, and'stimulated.by a petition from the residents of Victoria-street, the Council seem to hive plucked up sufficient courage to face the undertaking. After obtaining all possible information on the subject from the Surveyor, the Works Committee have recommended the adoption of a plan which he has prepared, and which may bo briefly stated here. la substance it is that the stone wall which closes up Victoria-street at its eastern end shall bo demolished and the roadway carried right through the Park into Princes-street, while Bowen-street (which forms part of the P»rk proper) is to be straightened and included within it, gates boing placed at cither end to exclude wheeled tratlic. As a compensation for its loss as a service able avenue of commerce and business, Victoria Quadrant (hitherto indicated merely by a foot-track) is to be > formed and carried through to a junction with Coburg-strect, which, in conse quence of the works in Victoria-street, will have to be lowered. Victoria Quadrant at present has only a nominal existence as a street It will extend from the Northern Club in Princes-street down the hill (skirting the plantation of trees) to the lower end of Bowcn-street, where it will debouche into Coburg street. These pro posed works will involve an expenditure of between £3,000 and £4,000, part of which will come out of the city funds and the remainder be drawn from the Im provement Commissioners'. Trust which still represents something like £B,oo#. Of the utility and extreme desira bility of the indicated improvements there can be no question. Under existing cir cumstances there are no means of reaching Symonds or Princes-streets, or Parnell, with vehicles from Queen-street between Shortland and Wellealey-streets, which re spectively mark the northern and southern limits of the heart of the c ity—-where business is most active. The carrying of them out coincidently with the formation of the Park will be an advantage, and the conveniences which they are intended to supply will bo readily appreciated by ratepayers of East Ward in particular, and by the whole city generally. It remains only for tho Council to sanction the work, and that may be done to-night. At any rate, the matter will be brought forward this evening among the ordinary bu«iue»s.

Sir,—A friend of mine has just placed In my hands a copy of your paper, published during my absence from Auokland, in which appears a loiter asklne; me to publish a list of names of all those who subscribed towards tho expenses of my canvass of the North, in re tho petition to abolish Couaty Councils, and the individual signs himself "Above-Board," whiob, if I am rinht in my conjeoture, should have been " Below Board,' as I stronotly sns ceot he belong to the parasite fraternity. I have met with many thrusts in the dark since I unc ortook and oarried through tho canvass, and in tact it has partly been tho oauss of my break ing up my home in the country where petty SDito holds co much sway. I am prepared to elve a fall statement to those who are entitled to it, and have done so to the local body of my own district, which was received by thorn in tho manner published in your p*par a few weeks ago, but this Bhall bo my last reply to anyone not manly onouuh to sign his name, for whoso benefit and the benefit of the publio 1 now state that any subscriptions I reoeivcd came from the Road Boards, and not one penny fiom outside those local bodies, and until Mr Cantwoll ot the Waltaltira Board forwarded their snbacrlptims last week, I w»a £15 cash out Of pocket, Ido not complain ; I merely state a faot. A number of Boards piomißod their support, but have ne*lectad, others, again, like the Wairaa.Manicapal, and Ruarangi told mo at the time they were too poor to subscribe any,yet I got all their signatures.

Narrow Escape of 500 Chinese from a Horrible Heath.

At ten minutes past four o'clock in the morning a couple of affrighted Chinamen dashed out of the three-storey brick build ing Nos, 2 to 10J Ross alley, between Du pont,Stockton, Washington, and Jackson streets, San Francisco,and in a few moments after, a sheet of ilame burst out of the rear end of that building, and rapidly spread from floor to floor. An alarm was sounded from box 25, but before the engines arrived the sky was lurid with the glare of the huge conflagration, The scene as des cribed by special officers was panic itself. The two upper stories, in width about 50 feet by 100 deep, were partitioned ofF in cell-like rooms, and from these poured some 500 Cbiuese men and women in the moat scanty attire, and cry ing out for assistance in their terror. Not a moment -was given a single soul to gather his goods, but all hurried out pell mell, in time to save their lives only. The whole in terior, with its numljerleßß wooden partitions and not a single fire- wall,was a seething fur nace before a single stream was turnedon,and despite the flood poured in, the burning mass was not quenched but burned itself out. The lire reached the r«ar portion of the Grand Theatre on Washington, but was headed oft' here, and was confined to tho building where it originated. After fight ing the blaze for two hours, It finally sub sided for lack of food. Property worth $15,000 wan destroyed.

Particulars of a Recent En counter with Hostile Apaches.

Denver, August 21, —Santa Fe specials give the following account of the fight in Lake Valley a few days ago -.—Lieutenant Smith and his force of 20 men had been on the trail of the hostiles for several days, and by forced marches overtook the Indians near McEver's ranch in Lake Valley district. The Indians were strong in numbers, and Smith attacked them, expecting reinforcements from the troops following somo distance behind. The soldiers were being rap idly shot down, when at the critical moment George Daly, with his force of twenty miners, arrived and joined in the fight, and the Indians were wited with great loss. They, however, carried off their dead and wounded, so that the exact loss could not be ascertained. The -whites lost George Daly, Lieutenant Smith, four men killed and 11 wounded. The killed and wounded, except Daly, are all supposed to be ex-soldiers. Daly s part in the fight grew out of an attack by Apaches on hie camp, in which the Indians were opposed by all the miners of the camp, Daly commanding, and repulsed, Daly at once collected twenty men and started in pursuit, overtaking the Indians as above. Smith was one of the best officers of tbo Ninth Cavalry, and has been engaged in several Indian campaigns, and was several times during the war brovetted for bravery. Lieutenant Dimiuick, with a company of cavalry, and Lieutenant Taylor, with twenty Indian scouts, who were but a few hours behind Nana's main band, arrived during the evening, and without stop ping continued the pursuit. They have probably overtaken the Indians before thie, as tbe latter would be considerably delayed by carrying or burying their dead. The hostilcs are near the Mexican line, evidently making for Chihuahua. A company of cavalry has been ordered to guard HiUsboro and Lake Valley settlements, and if pos sible cut off or hold Nana's band until Taylor and Diminick overtake them.

The following notices of motion appear on the City Council order paper, and will re ceive attention at the meeting to-nigbt, yiss. :—By Councillor Goldie—" That a Committee be appointed to take into consideration the necessary prelimi naries in connection with the securing of additional land, and also the best means of obtaining designs for the erection of the Town Hall, on the site selected at the junction of Grey-street" By Coun cillor Waddel—" That the footpaths in Wellesley and Cook-atreets, between Bobson and Nelson-streets, be kerbod, channelled, and asphalted.—That the Sur veyor report npon the boat method of surface draining Nelson-street, between Cook and Victoria-streets."

At the Internation) Food Exhibition, held in London, Ootober, 1880, tho only Prize Medal for Aerated Beverageß was awarded to " Yin- Sante." A KRW SELECTED TESTIMONIALS. Report by H. C. Bartlett, Esg, Pn. D., F.C.B.—" I have examined with great care the non-alohollo beverage of Metßrs Morgan, Kempßter, _ Co., known as 'Vin-Bant<S. It is admirably prepare! as a table tonic, and contains Hypbphospbites in the most soluble form, including iron, so as to be well adapted for' general use, and I thoroughly appreciate the dletetio excellence of this advance in the chemistry of the eubject. I particularly notice tho absence of an unpleasant astringent reaction as an after-taste from the iron, whioh is objectionable in beverages for habitual table use, both as regards flavour and as being medicinal in common use.Avoiding this obvious defect in some of the same class of beverages, the Yin Sant6 may be recommended as;a pieasant, refreshing and gently stimulating beverage, whoih well replaces effervescent wines In many cases," Liverpool Royal Infirmary, School of Modictno, 6th Nov., 1880. Deir Sir,—l have no hesitation in caying that your "Yin Sante" is the best beverage of its class which I have yet seen.—Yours, J. CiMPBELr. Brown, D. So., F.C.S., &o„ and City Analyst. Uxbridge House, Carnarvon, September 17.1880. Gentlemen,—Your Yin Sante is very agree able to tho taste, and oontaioing the tonics ) named in aesimllable forms, it cannot but be a , welcome beverage to the constantly increasing number of persons that have for ever lost faith I in all kinds of Intoxicating drinks as common . beverages. Hoping it will be a boon to the public, and a successful enterprise for your selves, ! I am, gentlemen, yours faithfully, ' M. Daviks, L.R.C.P.E, Exam., &c. ■ SOLD BF BOBERT NEAL,. QUEEN STREET.
