The Liceming Bill will pro ably be the only one to-day except the second reading of the Corrupt Practices •." Prevention Bill. ... Z< PATETERE CORRESPONDENCE. !

The Patetere correspondence laid on the table includes a long letter from Sir George Grey to the Colonial Secretary, written on the 7th of Jnno last, in whioh he complains that the Government have joined in the violation of tho law by aiding wealthy per sons to acquire the land illegally, and that the general public had been damnified thiongh tho concealment by the Govern ment of their Intention to withdraw the proclamation. That the proclamation when issued was misleading to the public by concealing that a large portion of the land had already been acquired from the natives. He Contended that land so ac quired ought to beforfeitedto the Crown, and the Government should introduce a bill to deal with it in that way. The Colonial .Secretary replies that the Supreme Court has already power to deal with illegal pur chases.

MR. MOSS. .H.R., ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

The following islho speech made by Mr ,-: ■Moss onMr Mnriy's motion re Local Go vernment:—"l aa sorry to hear the pro pbsal to adjourn fie debate, unless it is; to" . made it an Orde of the Day on an early ( date. * We hay; all listened with great ', pleasure, to whi felt from the honorable | member for Bruo, and perhaps with greiter i pleasure to. whatiell from the bouourable < member for Cliv_ I was delighrd to hear 'i him speak for fecibly in favour of institu tions to which I feel as strong an attach- * ment now as I lid when fighting son.c ' years ago to uphild them. As those re* marks come from i gentleman who was not then favourable t> those institutions, his testimony ought ti have double weight. His * speech was so clatr, so connected, and so << conclusive, that i shall not attempt to say a word upon thit particular question. I * have spoken upoi it more than once, and am content not to repeat myself. But I roust say, after listening to the excellent speech which he {aye ns, I could not .help feeling that his ctnclusion was exceedingly lame and impoteit. The honorable gentle man asks us to discuss this question in a vague way, not to come to any definite con clusion, but to leave it still in the clouds and in that form to carry it before the people/at the nest elections. I hope the Hbuve will'do no such thingi I hope it will debate the question so fully that/we »hall have something concrete, something definito to present to the people. Idfnot think the Government can possibly be aware of the u/gent nature of this subject in such dittricts as that to which the honourable member, for Rodney has alluded. /When he' spoke of the General GoTernm&t un dertaking to make main roads, there was a burst of laughter from the Gov/rnment benches.' How "ate the roads in shch dis tricts to be made, if the Governmint will | not mako them? Unless they,'are pre pared to undertake the work, wf certainly shaU;;under the present system; have no new main roads, whilst those Already in existence must rapidly fall into decay. In thinly populated districts covering a-very large area of country, and .ithout any Land Fund, how can you expect the people' to make main roads for themselves when yoa take all revenue from them and give them nothing in return I Another point on which I thought the honorable member for Olive might well hare touched was the administration of native lands. I say advisedly that the legislation of this House during ,-the last two years has had this effect: that it has created a huge monopoly in the purchase of native land. Speak "as we may about free trade in native land-, the legislation of this House has been of* such a character that it tjas locked up the lands against; all except men # -of-large »apital .not over particular very often 'as to ;the way in which they use it. I am sure that is an evil which would be immediately dig. posed of if it wero left to a Legislature j which had a knowledge of what it was about. Again, the honorable gentleman says wo ought to do .nothing this session except pass the Redistribution of Seats Bill. I am strongly of opinion that the Redi-tn bu lion of Seats Bill neveronght to be passed, and neTercanbe p«ssed, nntil this question ot local government is settled. I hold that if this local government question were properly settled, instead of eighty-eight members you would hot have need than forty in this House, and in the sther House not above half the number there at present. The whole of the general work of the coun try could be done with sixty members in the two Houses, instead of about one hundred and thirty as there are now. That is why I think the Local-Government Question should be settled befoje the Redistribution of Seats Bill is passed. It is the great re-; formation at which we should aim. Let this Assembly only deal with matters of general concern, If it were really the Gen eral Government of the country, and shook off all local work, we need nothavemore than sixty members instead of one-hundred-and thirty, and we should have a corresponding reduction in the enormous expenditure attendant on our meeting here, together with a corresponding reduction in the ex pense of what is still called the General Government. In that way you will save far more than will be necessary to put local governments .on a proper footing. The Treasurer _yrM £c. ble. to effect savings to

such a, large extent that the finance I of local governments would be a j matter easily dealt with. You could hand over to them the whole of the property-tax. I am not quite sure that you might not only hand over to them the administration of the railways, but also endow them with the revenue from the railways, and leave them to deal with it as a basis for the further extension of the system. An honorable gentleman near me asks are we to continue the property-tax. I say, cer tainly not, if it can be dispensed with ; but, if necessary—and some tax will be necessary—then the property-tax is a form far more suitable to local governments than than to the General Government of the country. Holding these i views, I propose, if the resolution of the Honorable member for Bruce is carried, to make an addition to it, which will express in small compass what :l mean. 1 should propose to add these Words : " That no Bill will%e satisfactory which does not provide a: system of local * government sufficiently complete to relieve ; the General Assembly from all necessity of local, legislation, enabling it to reduce , materially the number of members in both * Houses, and to effect a corresponding reduc tion in the present enormous expense of the : general government of the colony."

THEATRE ROYAL.

The Carden Dramatic Company, of whose merits we have heard co often and so favourably during the last few months, will give to-night the initial performance of what it is hoped will prove a highly successful season, the play selected for the occasion being " Clancarty," Southern critics assure us that this theatrical com bination is the strongest which has ever travelled through the colony, each member.of it being pos»essed of special aptitude for particular paitsand the prin cipals being stars, of the first magnitude in the pr-tes-iiona! Erniament. Many of the m embers have long- enjoyed a high repute lupon the Auckland stage aud the fume of the others has preceded them. The Company (brings a large aud attractive repertoire and '.'Clancarty we have no doubt will serve to whet tho popular taste for other novelties. It is j_'powerful historical drama, dealing with the Court and life of William 111, and abounding in strong situations. The adver tised cast is full, and as the play will doubt less be well picsented it. should not fail in producing a nattering impression. There is likely to be a bumper house to-night.

SIR MAURICE O'RORKE AND THE AUCKLAND MEMBERS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln justloe to an eminent publio man who has rendered very important services to this , province and to the colony, will you allow me to?suggest, what seems to me good reason for considering- that Sir Maurice O'Rorko com mitted no faux pcs or blunder in lately con vening the Auokland members In order to oonjoint action on the aubjeots of Museum nnd the Volunteers, Granted, or supposing, that Sir Gecrge Grey is the leader of the majority of those'members in questions of politio-l party, it is to be observed: first, that the suhjeots re ferred to do not come within the category of party contention; and secondly, that the thing required was, not the action of a majority of the Auokland members, but tbe unanimous effort of the whole.
