have any objection to lay a copy before the House, AID TO VOLUNTEERS, Mr Tole asked his question re_ capitation for volunteers, and as ;to provision for an annual encampment. Mr ROLLESTON replied that it would be unadvisable to answer the question till the budget came down, but that he would give Mr Tole information on the subject (privately I presume). THE TELEGBAPniSTS' STRIKE. The Postmaster General's answer to Mr .Downie Stewart's question as to why the * Government sent the names of operators on I strike last year to the telegraph depart ments of other colonies_ was as unsatisfac-! Tory to the House as to himself. He referred to the strike of 18 months ago, and said if there was a general strike it would interfere j with the whole business of the colony. .Telegraphists for all practical purposes, might he_ considered to be in one place together, as they had the means of communicating with each other every day ; and wonld thus, if they liked, form a strong combination. In the matter under notice (here was great danger through the action of the operators oi accidents occurring to trains by the Service being disorganised. In January, 1880, they struck in order to ob tain mure public money than they were get ting, and a number walked out of the office without giving notice. A few days after, nearly everyone who struck desired to re sume duty. They said they had been led astray, and promised to behave better in future, and in nearly every case the Govern ment with (to his mind) extraordinary in., dulgonce allowed them to resume. Some exceptions were made with respect to a few of the ringleaders, and it was the names of jj _\ -■'dismissed which were forwarded to % "?-J?b department- of other colo- J 5 ; -.A '.asked on whose authority. Mi-/*- T^-n said on the authority of a iniste.niow' --day. The names were rwardeu \i ',- the information of the departments i__-r~% Australian colonies. The information baffi™ijn acknowledged by those Departments anu'ao more. He did . jppt know whether it had \ reduced these dismissed servants to distress, but seeing the immense public inconvenience and great peril a strike might have caused at the time, he felt bound to say the Government were justified in the action taken. The Postmaster-General seemed; to feel, the position keenly while delivering the speech put into his mouth by the heads of the Department, for he frequently hesitated and stumbled over what he said in an extraordinary manner. •■(! i' - JUVENILE OFFENDERS. ' . Replying to Mr Hutchison, iMr Dick said the amendment of the law dealing with . juvenile offenders was one of grave impor tance, and they had not yet decided finally on thd question so as to prevent children nnder twelve years being sent to prison for a first offence, j-j/SMPLOXESONAUCKLANDAND DRUBYi-j RAILWAY.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The following is a summary of the business j which took place yesterday afternoon at j the Harbour Board meeting after our intsriml I retort had closed. ;'..' ;\ ■ DOCK' Committee, — This Committee, re. « commended _ — (1) That Mr Aiokin's letter should;1 in- compliance with his request, be relegated to the archives of the Board,- (2) That the engineer should be directed to prepare plans for excavations at Calliope Point, and that the solicitors prepare the draft -for the' necessary order-in-eouncil; (3) That a grant ot £50 -be made to Mir Blaokett'for his report re dook site; The, report also stated re Clark and Stanfleld's hydraulic dock The Engineer reported that, although'it w.as very ingenious/ it was not muehiused in England, and he thoughtj'-in a pl&Cß"like Auckland' it would be a'^mle take to erect such a dock.—Mr McKenziq described the advanta^eß of thoso dooks, as set forth in Clark and Standfleld's cirj ouiara. and the work which could be done by them. If they ware at aU equal to what was stated, they would supersede all graving docks; and he did not think the Board should neglect to obtain all information regarding them. There was not such an absolute hurry for a dock as to prevent this being done.—The Chairman pointed out that, in case of adopting this class of dock, all the money for it would go out of *uoJ_land. —The Mayor said tt might suit Mr MoKenzie 8 purpose that they should apply to all parts of tho world for information, first to one place, and wait for information from there before applying to another. The object was no doubt to delay the construction of the dock.—Mr MoKenzie moved an amendment embodying bis desire for delay, bnt it was negatived and the report adopted. He also opposed the gran. 0£ £5J to Mr Blackett but without avail. Well at Pilot Station.—The Engineer re ported that the well at the pilot station, was sunk, but.the work—the briokwork especially— waSsobidly done that he declined to take It over from the contractor.—The-Board confirmed the ao tion of the Engineer. " : ■ ■ Tenders.—Tenders for supplies were accent ed as follows: For timber, Jagger and Paraer ; for ironwork, .George' Leahy . shipcbandlery. H. P.Anderson; carting, J. Craig; supply of coal,'Jagger and Parker. x .... ' WOkjks COMMITTEE.-The report of this com mittee recommended that the application of the master ot lie Avona for a refund of the ?iilotage duties be refused; that two officers rom the Northern Steamship Company and Captain Mc&regor of the blzo recommended by the Engineer be rented to them at £10 a-year. a hat the fifteen-ton crane ba placed under the, direction of the Chief Harboarmaßter, to be; worked at a fixed scale of charged per ton per; hour.—This clause was referred baok tothecpm mitcee, but the- other recommendations were! adopted by an amendment moved by Mr Mo-' Kenzie on the second one being lost. \ „_-.Finanoe uoMMiiTEB.-:She report of the' Finance Committee was read, and accounts,! amounting to £1,093 163 Id, were ordered for, Pa _JESe_ONS FOB FnTUBE HABBOUR WORKS.— Mr MoKenzie moved " That competitive designs, be invited, and a prize of .3100 offered for the! best plan of the future works required for the, harbour of Auckland, including'dook accommo-: datlon." He obtained leave to amend his reso lution by striking ont the three last words. He then/pointed out the wisdom of calling for small works, and inßtanoed the new Ferry Cpm uany. the Park, and, Town Hall. Heretofore the Board had been going lhaphazard without any design. ■ Bis only donbt was that the mopey offered waS too small—Mr Stone seconded the motion pro forma, bnt stated his intention to vote against it-The Mayor. MrThompson, and Mr Mays also opposed the motion, and eventu ; ally it was withdrawn. :*_''■ , • khOlamation STBBETS.-The Mayor moved. "That the streets on the reclaimed ground bo rflnntrad by the City Council under the same conditions upon which the footpath in Lower Quesnrstreetis-now., being constructed."-The motion was seconded by Mr Waddel. and HNobth Shore WAiymo RooMS.-Mr Mays : Soved, " That the Ferry Company be directed S remove the buildings on ton wharves at the North Shore used as waiting rooms, and that toe Engineer be instructed to prepare plan? for a waiting room on each-wharf, the coSfc not to, exceedfilOO for both."

FATAL FIGHT IN SYDNEY.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

Sydney, June 21. On the arrival of the Rotomahana she was j not allowed to come to the wharf by the Company's agent. She anchored in Neutral Bay. At the inquest on Killan, the boy who was killed in a fight on Saturday, the jury found Booth guilty of murder, Davies, Johnson, Dunne, Wiggins, and Parkes, in aiding and abetting. As no evidence was shown againstDooley, he was discharged. The small-pox Scare. No fresh cases of small-pox are reported, and the scare was said to be practically at an end. The effect oi the small-pox scare upon the efforts to Christianise the Chinese in Sydney were referred to by Archdeacon King at the Synod yesterday. He said the ruffianism which had lately developed, not only among the larrikins, but other classes, was degrading. Chinese were daily met in the streets with oaths and curses, turned out of steamboats and omnibuses, pushed into gutters, and ejected with indignity trom tramcars. May the Chinese catechist, had sixty-five countrymen at Sunday services last Sunday, and the attendance has fallen to twenty. He said he believed it would take 10 .years to regain the in fluence which the church had lost in Christianising the Chinese residents of the colony. The Dean stated he had received a message from the Chinese catechist to the effect that many Chinese were anxious, he should tell the congregation they were wrong in treating the Chinese in the way they were doing.

VICTORIA.

• June 23. The Squadron. It is expected the Squadron will remain here three weeks. Its future movements depend on orders from the Admiralty. An entertainment was given by the officers of the Inconstant on Tuesday. Between three and four hundred guests were present. - Messrs Tucker and Vale, members for Fitzroy, are not on good terms over the Re form Bill question. Mr Tuckeri sneers at: the Radical victory, and says Mr Vale is taking part in a go-as-you-please,contest for the Treasury benches. The police took possession of the Ferret as stolen property, as the parties are" to be proceeded against in Great Britain. Pro-' bably the prosecution will not be proceeded with here.

The Commissioner' of 'Customs had several representations made him by lead ing tea merchants with regard to the pro. posed enforcement of quarantine laws on all vessels arriving from Sydney. It' was pointed out that-at that port the only restriction placed was on vessels carrying Chinese, were, ,as here, ships, whether carrying passengers or not, were quaran. tined. This would be a serious drawback to.trade, and give Sydney importers a great advantage. The Commissioner pro mised to recommend to his colleagues that steamers be examined at the Heads, and admitted, if everything was found right and provided they carried no passengers. A case of child stealing was reported at Fitzroy on Tuesday. A boy named Percy Clarke, five years old, was walking in Fitzroy-street, Avhen a girl, Mabel Wal sfab, snatched the child and ran away with him.' She first went to Richmond, then to an hotel in Carlton where she asked for a bed, saying she had no money and was going to Oakleigh next morning. The re quest was complied with. The landlady, suspecting her, gave information to I the police. The girl was only thirteen. llt is not likely the charge will be pressed against her, as the child has been recovered.

THE ACCIDENT TO H.M.S. BACCHANTE.

MELBOURNE, Sunday.

H.M.S Bacchante and H.MS. Cleopatra came up to their anchorage on Saturday evening, after a good run from Albany. The accident to the Bacchante happened, as has already been stated, on the 12th of last month in the Southern OceaU. All the five ships of the squadron were together at the time, or within sight of each other, and. they were ploughing along before a strong westerly gale and through o heavy sea. Suddenly the Bacchante broached to in a most unaccountable manner, and fefuqedto answer her helm. The cause of her. eccentric behaviour was at .first a mystery, which no one on boars could explain. The' sails were trimmed and :i're-trimmed without effect ing the desired result, and then steam was got up. but the attempt to l?ring the vessel under control by means of her screw proved aliio unsuccessful. Eventually some of the officers, in looking over the stern, observed, as it'lifted to the sea, that the top of the helm was fractured and twisted. .'Steps were taken to counteract'the'in jury,;'and hy a, manipulation of the chains the'ruddar was brought into a workable position. Lord Charles Scott, jjiowever, thought lit best to bear up for Albany, the nearest port, for repairs. On the way thither a temporary steering gear was prepared as a stand-by in case of the rudder giving way, and on being tried it proved suitable for the pur pose,- but asit turned out, the injured helm was sufficient to bring the vessel into port Having anchored in King George's Sound, the work of repairing the rudder was com menced without delay, The ponderous thing had h>st to be uttsijipppd and taken on shore, and this was a task of some diffi culty. It may be here explained that.tfie blade of the rudder consists of an iron frame work with panels of wood, its weight being five tons. The upright shaft of iron by which it was turned was unlocked and raised1 and the rudder itself unlocked and

hoisted upon a barge, on which it was taken to the pier. An attempt was made to hoist it from the barge by means of awooden crane, which, however, was rotten, and gave way. Small derricks were then erected, and eventually the rudder was deposited on the pier, when for the first time the damage done was properly inspected. The top or shoulder of the blade was found to be seriously fractured, and the outer portion of the rudder twisted about 20 degrees to the starboard side. The repairs occupied a long time, owing to the want of proper faci lities and appliances, and had to be executed by the officers and men themselves. The helm having been fixed up on the shore, fires were burned underneath until the metal became red hot and pliable, when it was beaten flat again, and the gaping fracture closed. Strong clamps of iron were then rivetted over the break, and this done the rudder was considered serviceable again, and was re-shipped. Pine weather was experienced on the passage sound to Melbourne, and consequently no great strain was placed upon the steering gear. The rudder will, of course, have to be more permanently re paired, but whether this work will be done here or at Sydney, where the stores of the squadron lie, will have to be decided by the Rear-AdmiraL .

OPENING ST. SEPULCHRE'S CHURCH.

The handsome new church of the Holy Sepulchre erected in Kyber Pass Road, at its intersection with Burleigh-street,„was opened .and consecrated this morning,'in accordance with Anglican Ritual, and in tbe presence of a large assemblage of people. Before proceeding to describe the service, we shall take the opportunity of giving a brief account of the edifice itself. It is a handsome wooden building, constructed as far as possible after the Gothic style of architecture, and It consists of the usual nave and side aisles, transept and chancel surmounted at one end by a spire 130 feet high, and at the other by a tower 16 feet square,which forms an entrance porch. The dimensions are : —Extreme length, 131 feet; breadth across transepts, 70 feet; breadth across nave and aisles, 55 feet; internal length of nave, 89 feet; length of choir and chancel, 40 feet; height to ridge of roof, 52 feet; height to top of cross on spiro, 130 feet, or 20 feet higher than the spire of any other church in Auckland. The central aisle is 5J feet wide, and the flanking aisle 4 feet wide, while the choir platform is raised a foot above the level of the floor, To the left of this platform is the organ chamber, l'i_ feet square and 28 feet high, at present occupied by the organ purchased from St. Mark's Church. The vestry room is on the right. The apse is surrounded by the in scription, in gold letters on a blue ground, " The Lord is in His Holy Temple, let all the earth keep silence before Him," the work, we understand, of Major Morrow. A handsome reredos has been provided, and it has been artistically decorated by Mr E. B. Dickson, while a number of ladies have generously furnished the hangings. The sanctuary, of coarse, is carpetted, while the chancel, which is two feet higher than the choir platform, will be lighted by a pair of soven-light brass standards presented by Bishop Selwyn in memory of his [deceased wife who had always taken a warm and active interest in the old church. Open arches divide the nave from the side aisles, and their spandrils are filled in with wood work tracery. The building has an open timber roof, the principals being supplied with curved ribs of tracery. • The height of the main walls of church to wall-plate is 29 feet; of the side aisles, 12 feet and 29 feet at their junction with the main building. From floor to apex of roof of building, the height is 50 feet. At 44 feet from the floor the roof will be ceiled, and the whole of the church lined inside as high as the window sills, with vertical tougued 'and grooved hoarding, arid the remainder with horizontal boarding. The vestry-room and organ chamber are se parated from the body of the church by open Gothic screens, so that on'special occasions the vestry can be used to accommodate hearers.' There is a heavy plinth all round the (building, and moulded string cornices underneath the. windows. v The church tower is'in three stories,! the upper one being" the bell-chamber while in the.second there, is placed 400 ---gallon tank of water, , for supply jng Watertb other portions oif ; the building, A. rose window has been'fitted into'the centre gable of the weßt end; and another in.,the transept.

The building whiie being admiftedly one of the .largest .in, the province (seating no less than 700 adults) will also be a. -prominent and pleasing . landmark in approaching the .harbouri' of which it - commands 'a' splendid view. , The tender for its erection was accepted oti'.'tlie 23rd of October,; I§Bo, at,£2,7-95,".t8t-the 'subsequcut lengthening of it 14 feet in excess, of the original plans, has brought tha, contract up to a little .over £3,000, ex cliisiyftof the extras, such as, seats, fit tings, gas, fencing,. &c, which will bring the cost up to close on £4,000, and as'the amount paid for the land was £1,300, 'tlie total expenditure will be about £5,300. On the 9th of November, His Lordship Bishop Cowie, laid the corner stone, and Mr James and his mon have since then, prosecutedLhis work n}pst energetically. It is hnished within the contract time.

■j' At 11' o'clock this morning, theimpressiycj ;coiisecratipn, service was commenced., with the entrance of His Lordship. Bishop Cowie, accompanied by his chaplains and the fol lowing clergymen ; Yen. Archdeacons Pritt and Maunsell, Revs. Baker (2), Burrows',' Riites, Calder, Nelson, Tebbs, . Mulgan; Ashwell, Bree, Kidd, Purchas, Edwards, Hall, Haselden, Hitchcock, Davis (2), 'Gulliver, Phillips, Willis, Cubitt, Sparl ing, Bigga, Gould, add Lush. They were met at the entrance to the chancel by' the incumbent, Rev. B. T. Dudley, churchwardens, vestrymen, and trustees of the site, the.congregation standing the while. Thet petition praying that the Churph might be consecrated | was; then presented, and read by the Registrar. The consent having been given, the Bishop, and the Clergy and others attending upon him, marched round the aises of the Church, re peating in a loud voice the ,24th Psalm, alternately, while the choir and congrega tion sang the 396 Hymn' (Hymns A and M), commencing - ~./'pießsedcity,h'eayehly Salem, i '' •, ■•.,:■> Vision dear of peace and lQvp, .;...; „,, Wbo.of Jiving stones art bnjldpd • In tho height of heaven above, !•:.., , And, with angels hosts enoircled, • As a bride dest earthward move," and ending—.. , . " Land and honour to the Father, Laud and honour to the Son, Laud and honour to tbe Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, Consuhstantial, Co-eternal, While unending ages run." Hib Lordship then seated himself in bis chair, when the trustees presented him with the deed of dedication, which he de posited upon tbe communion table. He then addressed the congregation as follows: —Dearly beloved in the Lord; forasmuch as devout and holy men, as well under the Law as under the Gospel, moved either by the secret inspiration of the blessed Spirit, or by the express command of God, or by their own reason and sense of the natural decency of things, have erected Houses tor the, Ptfblip Worship of God, and separated them frp^ all prof ane and com mon uses,'in-qrder' tp fijl- men's minds with greater reverence tor His CrlQriouß Majesty, and affect their hearts with more devbtion and'humanity .in his: service;; which pious works have been approved/oj • and; graciously accepted by our' Heavenly Father : Let us not doubt but He will also favourably approve our1 godly purpose, pf setting apart his place in solemn man ner, for the performance of the several offices of religious worship, and let us faithfully and deyoutedly beg His.ble?sing bqjthis our undertaking. !A., number of prayers were then offered up, after which the- Bishop having re sumed his' seat, the chancellor of the diocese, Hon. W.Swainson,read'.the sentence of consecration, which was signed by the Bishop, and ordered to be preserved among the muniments- in the Registry. The Old Hundredth was then sung, after which the order of. morning prayer was entered upon, the Preces and Responses being sjing to Tallis, in unison, witl; organ accompaniment;. Tlje Psalms used were the 84th, 122 nd, and 132np, while the lessons were from Ist Kings, chapter viii 22-62, and St. John, chapter xn 15-23 re spectively, the first one being followed by the ''TeDpum" (Dykes), and the second one by the Bpnedictus (Dykes). Several collects having been said, the choir J \ {,O'J 'A 'tl A it. i A X ,0 ,J

rendered in a pleasing and effective manner the following anthem :—" O how amiable ' are Thy dwellings, Thou Lord of Hosts! My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God. Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house: they will always be praising Thee. Hallelujah !" The Bishop then said the service ot Holy Communion, after which Monk'? Mission Service in A was sung. This was followed by the recital of a collect, the reading of Scripture (viz., St. John eh.' 2, and 2nd Cor. eh. 6), and the singing of the Nicene Creed (Stanier in G), after which His Lordship preached a brief and instructive sermon. The text was from Matthew xvi, IS : " And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock i will build my church ; and the gates' of hell shall not prevail against it." His Lordship went on to shew that the Anglican was tbe Apostolic Church, and thence he proceeded to enjoin upon bis hearers a loyal adhesionto its teach ings, and a cordial support of its ministers. After the sermon several hymns were sung, commencing with, "The Church's One Fbuiidatien," tnen the offertory was taken up and the Benediction pronouncad. The hymn, " Jesu, gentlest Saviour, Thou art in us now; fill ns with Thy goodness, till our hearts o'erflow," was sung kneeling., while as the Bishop and clergy left the church the congregation standing sang, "We love the place, O God, wherein Thine honour dwells; the'joy of Thine abode, all earthly joy excels. It is the house of prayer, wherein Thy servants meet; and Thou, O Lord, art there, Thy chosen flock to greet," as-well as the five subsequent stanzas. This consluded the ceremony. There will be a service this evening, beginning at 7.30 o'clcck.

LATEST PARLIAMENTARY.

WELLINGTON, this afternoon,

AUCKLAND CAUCUS.

"A caucus of Auckland members respect ing the endowment of the Museum, was held this morning. It was proposed that a deputation should wait on the Government, but it is objected that deputations were generally useless, and placed the Opposi tion members in a false position. The end would be better gained by resolutions supported unanimously, and proposed in the House. ■ Members supporting the Govern ment could let them know, individually, what had been done, without a .formal, deputation, An amend ment was proposed accordingly that the Auckland members pledged themselves unanimously to support any measure intro duced into the House for the efficient en dowments of the Museum. The amend ment waa negatived by the votes of those in favour of the deputation, who then refused to go further as the meeting was not unani mous, and broke up without putting the Original motion. I understand the endow ment will beibrought before the House, and many Southern members will support it, owing to the stand taken against back stairs influence and the system of deputa tions, which many abhor them as putting them in merely a falee position with Ministers. Sir George Grey was not present, objecting to the speaker calling meetings ot tbis kind, on the ground that the Speaker should keep aloof from party matters. Mr Speight to-day will give notice asking the Government their intention. It being 11 o'clock when the decisson was come to, members having to attend Committees, the question of Volunteers was not dealt with, Another Account. The members present were: Sir' G. M. O'Rorke, Messrs .Macdonald, Colbeck, Moss, Speight, Wallis, Harris, Hamlin, Tohi, Tatohao, Whitaker, Swanson, Tole, and London. A circular was read from Mr Peacock, President of the Auckland In stitute," : urging members to move . for certain land as endowment. Mr Swanson said that the first thing to do was to appoint a' sub-committee to wait upon Ministers to ascertain their views. Messrs Moss, Tole, and Speight objected, on the ground that, it was not dignified or proper to, wait, in attendance on Ministers, and that thfe present Ministers invariably snubbed deputations.' Mr Hamlin'moved, to test the'question, "That a deputation, consisting of Messrs Wallis, Swanson, and MSbdonald, be appointed to wait on Minis t?rs'and confer as to land for endowment, etc." This was carried, the three gentlemen above-named voting against it, as also Mr Harris, on the ground of the impropriety of interviewing Ministers.- and that it should be done by. a question in, the House. Sir G*. M. P'Rbrke.tho^saidthattin.the-^ei'nf; this opposition it cbutd.jipt be said that th&« deputation ;would represent "the 'Auckland members. Dr., Wallis, Messrs Swanson, Hamlin, and McDonald explained tbat all that was required of the objectors was to give'their consent to the deputation going forward.; j They could not have their dignity lowered by-having to Wait on business on Ministers;1 If their consent was not given, they agreed .with Sir G. M. o'f.orj.e that the meeting would not be unanimous, and would cease to have proper effect. This did hot meet with favour from the objectors, and after some rather severe remarks from Cap tain Colbeck, the meetingseparated, nothing having been done. It has just transpired that Sir George Grey interviewed Sir G. M. O'Rorke just before the meeting, and tolfl him that if the meeting entertained the volunteer question which was completed, he.would bring his (Sir G. M. O'Rorke's) action before the- House, as he had no right to move, members from one part of the colony in a matter that affected the whole colony. An ■ attempt was made by Mr Swanson to get; something done re the volunteers, but nothing came of it, •''JUDICIAL COMMISSION. , The .Judicial Commission resolved to mcct1 again in July, so as to enable the Legislature to pass the amendments neces sary to give effect to the recommendations of the Commission.
