Sniicial Powers and Contracts.Public Chari. ties' Act, 1876, Amendment. The Town District Public Domains Bill was read a hird time and passed. RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION AND LAND BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Railway Construction and Land Bill, Mr MURRAY took exception to the Bill ex patiating at length on the danger of allowing these works to be constructed by a company and submitting an elaborate scheme of his own. Mr MACANDRKW said he would not op pose the Bill, but at the same time, he expressed an opinion that the railways should be undertaken by the Government and not be left to the operations of pri vate companies. Mr OLIVER adopted an opposite view, thinking that a good workable measure could be mode out of it. A number of clauses were passed. In the course of the debate Mr Seddon said that the member for Grey Valley had been appointed solicitor to the railway, Amberley-Greymouth line. Mr Wkston denied the statement. Mr Seddon went on to say then, in that case, the Canterbury Press was a liar, as he had read it In the paper referred to. He was called to order by the Chairman, and on persisting, was peremptorily or dered to desist. He then went on to con tend that the power propscd was one which should not be left in the hands of the Government of the day.

ACCIDENT TO SUPERINTEN DENT THOMSON.

A SERIOUS accident happened to Mr Super* intendent Thomson, at Te Awamutu, on Thursday evening.

Mr Pardy received intelligence of the unfortunate occurrence ilate yester day afternoon. Mr Thomson came down by to-day's train, and was met at the New market station by Mr Pardy and Sergeant Jackson. Thence, he was taken to the Hospital for treatment.

A NIHILIST'S CONFESSION.

HARTMANN'S ATTEMPT ON TH£ CZAK'S LIFE, A cable despatch last week stated thai the Russian Government had made a de maud upon the American Government foi the extradition of Hartmann, on the ground that his offence was a criminal and not a political one. Hartmann is in New York> collecting subscriptions to advance the Nihilist cause, and be supplied the " New York Herald" with the following narra tive of his connection with the plot to blow «p the late Czar at Moscow. Possibly statements will be used by the Russian Go vernment in support of the demand. Hartmann said —" In November, 187S, I escaped from prison in the town of Kkater insdar, in the Caucasus, on foot, biding from place to place, every moment in danger of being recaptured. I succeeded at length in reaching St. Petersburg. The Nihilists were then so numerous that it sufficed for me to saunter up the Newska Prospect for a quarter of an hour to meet with a friendly face, and half an hour later I was amid the chief representatives of our movement in the capital, eagerly listening to news from which I had been cut off for more than a year. The news was sad. enough. Nothing but arrest and brutal tortures inflicted on men and women indis criminately. Despite the persecutions which were rained on us heavier than ever, we decided not to have recourse to violence, but to continue the work as we had begun it, to spread our ideas secretly and peacefully among the people. In the meantime there occurred a few com paratively unimportant events. The attack of Veru Sasaoulitehl'on the Chief of Police of St Petersburg, a deed to which all classes of society gave their sympathy s and the assassination of several high officials of the crowns which were secretly applauded by the population of the capitals, were among them. We saw that these acts, which, emanating from individual groups of our friends, were not, strictly speaking acts of the party as a whole, far from evicting'any hatred, against us gained for us sympathy and secret supports not only of the working-classes, but of many of the most intelligent representatives of the higher and middle classes, which both h 4e the autocratic system of government. All this naturally had its effect on the re volutionists, and first suggested to them the advisability of terrorism. The argu ments of the timid ones in our council did Dot prevail. The majority decided against, them. AN UNEXPECTED SENSATION. "All of a sudden fell a txunderbolt which took us all by surprise—SolviefFs un successful attempt to kill the, Czar. We at once dispersed all over Russia in villages and cities, mingling in all the crowds, taking work in factories, wandering from one large center of public life to another, and gleaning, everywhere all we could gather of the opinions of the people on the event. Not one of us heard one single word of sympathy for the Czar, but on the contrary many an expression of regret that the attempt bad proved unsuccessful. Delegates of the revolutionary sec tions of St. Petersburg and of many provinces continually at our headquarter? on the Volga, and all brought the same reborts. on the other hand, the Government had evidently lost all presence of mind. Nearly every day brought new law directed against the Nihilists, which were revoked on the next After our Congresß I remained yet some time on the Volga. Then it was that I con ceived the plan to accomplish myself the fourth attempt at the killing of the Czar. It was evident to me that meditating as we did the disorganization and ultimate des truction of the autocracy, its first and only source, the Czar, author of all the misery an I sufferings of our people, was the first who should be doomed to perish at our hands. But how was the act to be accom plished? Of all the different ways and methods of accomplishing my pnrpose, I at length selected an underground wire as the most efficient. I imparted my idea to a few friends. We labored together on the plan, and one of us was immediately sent to St. Petsrsburg to communicate with our com lados there on this business." > A DEVILISH DEED. Having been made a member of tyje Exe cutive Committee, Hartmann proceeds to describe the dynamite factory in which the missiles were manuractured. He describes the explosion as follows : "The morning of the eventful day dawned. The two who were to accomplish the explosion were alone in the house. They were Sophie Perovsky and another. The former had to observe the approach of the Imperial train and to give the signal for closing the cbain. The latter was posted in a barn near the com mutator, and had to close the galvanic chain on hearing the signal." " Who was the other one 1" "The Russian Government does not know who he was, and I do not consider it expedient to dispel its ignorance. More over, 1 fully expect to return to Russia sometime, probably soon. I may then fall into the hands of the Czar's police, though I doubt it, and should prefer, therefore, at present to be reticent on this one point. The moment of the explosion has come; the train speeds along the line ; the signal is given ; the chain locked, and at the same moment a deafening report is heard. A column of earth rises over the bed of the rail road, two cars are lifted into the air and thrown with terrible violence into the fields below. In a moment all is confusion. People run out of their houses. The shouts of terror, hysterics, and the sobbing of women fill the streets. Policemen are speed ing from all sides to the spot. The whole district seems to be in a craze of fright. In the meantime Sophie Perovsky and ' some body' cross the yard to its farthest end, pass through an opening in the railing, which has been prepared beforehand, into a neighbouring yard, then through a doorway into a street situated on the side of the houses opposite to the railroad, and saunter off quietly into the city, where they enter a safe place of concealment. On the same pay Sophy Perovsky and her com panion left Mobcow for St.. Petersburg by the night express. It was then only that they heard of the failure of their enterprise. The Czar had been more cunning than they. He had cbangrd trains a few miles before he reached • Moscow, and this had saved him foi the time. The day after the arrival of Sophie Perovsky and her companion'at St. Petersburg the Czar too reached the capi tal"

SU PPOSED SUICIDE.

A MAN named Thomas Colerick was killed at Eetuuera last evening under circumatan- Btancos which leave but little doubt that the act was a premeditated one. When the Ngaruawahia goods train was returning to Auckland station, shortly before 8 p.m., something was observed by the driver to fall irom a bridge situated between Greenlane and Kemuera. The engine was stopped im mediately, and lights having been pro cured, a search was instituted, when the body of a man was found lying in a pool of water under the bridge. Life was extinct, and the body was, therefore, placed on a truck, brought to town, and handed over to the police. Traces of hair and blood were found on the cow-catcher, and as there is only one wound on the head, it is believed that he was struck by it. Colerick was formerly a telegraph clerk_ at Catlin Kiver, and, recently, he occupied the same position at Whangaroa. Ho was discharged in July last, and it will be remembered that since then, he repeat edly attempted to make away with his life by poisoning. He has been in the Asylum since his arrival in Auckland, but was discharged recently. He leaves a wife and one child, who are now stopping at Devonshire House. The pockets of deceased were searched last night, and amongst other letters was one from Mr Gray, secretary to the Telegraph Depart ment, intimating that he was entitled to £75 compensation on his discharge. Cole rick was about 47 years of age. THE INQUEST. An inquest was held this afternoon on the body, before Dr Philson, Coroner, and a jury, at the Terminus Hotel. The follow ing evidence was takes : William Hackct, fireman, deposed that he knew the deceased; left Auckland by 5.30 train for One uunga yesterday, and when within half a-mile of Remuera. He saw something like the body of a man lying across the rails. Blew his whistle, when the man seemed to move his head slightly, and_ as the engine got nearer to him he pulled him self back. The man got up after the train had passed, and walked along the middle of the line. Did see urn afterwards. On passing, he called to the man, asking him what he was doing there. Did not hear him answer. The man was certainly not touched by the train This was about a quarter to 6 o'clock

EVOLUTION.

At the meeting of the Auckland Institute ioa Monday evening the Rev. S. Edger, B. A., read an interesting paper on "Evolu tion looked at it from its Religious Side." We append a synopsisof it which was crowded out of our last issue. The paper commenced as follows :-" The doctrine of evolution has taken so deep a root in modern thought and in its ramifications reaches to so many subjects of human knowledge or inquiry that it is incumbent on students of all classes to give it full consideration. An in telligent perception, of the all-comprehen sive nature of religion necessitated the bringing of the two into conjunction, for .if two modes of thought cover the Bame ground they must of necessity, if both true, be harmonious. Both parties are right — scientists and religionists —in affirming tbat if evolution and re ligion are inharmonious, one must go as being false. If scientists can boast that their conclusions are based on incon trovertible facts, on philosophical inves tigation andinductive reasoning,religionists caa as certainly reply that the history and experience of the human soul, supply facts quite as incontrovertible as physical nature ; and that the deductions from the latter are just as logically drawn, so that the platform each occupies is good enough to justify the demand for a respectful hearing from the other side^ If either could claim an advantage, it would seem to be on the side of the oldest as having had the largest measure of consideration; and if it be thrown in the face of the religionist tbat his conceptions have been governed very much by ignorant, superstitious feeling, we have again to reply :It may be so, to some large extent, yet even that would have just as broad a basis of philosophic research on the part of religion as science can claim, while it may truly be sajd that science must acknowledge more positive assertions, ultimately found to be fatee, than can be laid to the charge of religion. A little modesty and suspension of judgment on the part of each would seem to be the wisest and most just resolve. Neither party has been any too willing to allow of this. Jilgotry has prevailed. Scientific bigotry, in jumping to positive conclusions on insufficient data, and adhering to the conclusions in au inverse ratio to their evidence (of which the confident assertions of an extreme evolution form one of the most remarkable examples); religious bigotry, in adhering to conclusions simply because they have been handed down from more ignorant ages, and in sustaining them by means not in any way to be justified by religion itself. . . . ■' . Evolution's I broad idea is that of the growth of higher out of lower forms of existence, as by hu man Bkill an apple is evolved from a crab. An immense number of interesting facts of this kind fill the world of nature, which no wise man will dispute or ■ fail to admire and study. But when it goes on to make this a universal proposition : All species have arisen thus—thus, man has grown by successive steps, out of primitive inorganic substances (or from monkeys), we reply—that is too large a conclusion; it covers ground upon which there is not a j single known fact, for there is not as yet ! known one instance of a higher species being ! evolved from a lower. And, therefore, we I suspend our judgment from any such con clusion until the facts are known ,'"", .. . That is how we 'stand with evolution on its religious side. "We decline allowing the evolutionist — the scientific pope —to forco upon us conclusions that cover more , ground than the facts he can produce justify. We decline allowing the religious bigot to tie us down to his way of inter preting religion, when God, through scientific discovery, would lift us a little higher." The writer Jhen proceeded to shew that evolution pure and simple—that . higher forms of existence are evolved from , l ower —Joes not throw any doubt on [ the great religious thought of a j Creator of all things. In this connection, < Mr Edgar said: " I see no harm to religion in evolving a man out of a monkey—looked at from the material point of view, i.e., a man • body from a monkey - body. The mistake 18 in confounding the man and the man-body. It is a quite different thing when it is asserted that—concurrently—the conscience, the great spiritual conceptions, the religious consciousness, are evolved from the monkey-mind—as a complete truth. Though, I can well believe that even these things may appear to have taken their i present shape by a quite gradual process when we come to know more about the things and influences of the unseen. I hat, however, will not be evolving them torn monkey bodies, or any other bodies. In ; drawing to a conclusion Mr Edgar said,— " We can form a tolerable notion of the direction which further evolution of the \ mind is likely to take. We may be j pretty sure that the power of abstract j thinking will be strongly developed, I from which will come the possi bility of much clearer and more satis factory ideas of God. The narrowness of ■ the concrete no longer enthralling us, we , may come to have a better defined idea of \ the infinite, and the sharp discordance ' between it and all individual thought may •be sufficiently toned down to get rid of the

contradiction that now burden all our attempts to express God." ........ "Intellectually, morally, it may at last appear that what has seemed incredible or unintelligible in our religious belief has been so only to a nature not yet evolved or developed, and so, by evolution, the clouds of misconception and doubt will have melted away in the steady upward march of man-reaching altitudes where clouds never gather, and bo finding his home where miracles and prodigies shall be the common material of everyday life." This concluded the business.
