that, the system upou which the division was based appeared to lio a rather peculiar ono. It was inscrutable. For instaucc, while Auckland was given 18 members, or one for every 4,592 people, Tarauaki was to cot 3, or one for every 3,154 people. It was the favoured province which had the Sugar Loaves, and it was to have the Biigar alsd. It did not at all matter what its population was, for it would have parliamentary representation even if it had no population at all. Wellington province was to obtain 11 member.', or one for every 4,642 people, and llawke's Bay 3 members, or one for every 5,005 persons, thus giving the North Island, for its popu lation of 155.205, 35 members altogether, or Vine For every 4,520 people. The South Island, with a population of 250,204, if hu remembered aright, was to have 55 members, or one for every 4,(358 inhabitants. Nelson was, the favoured province in that Island, as Tarahaki was in this. They wero the dark or bright spots as we might choose W look at. them in the field ot political view. Nelson was a good voting province, for the Govermeut, and Tarauaki was magnificent votinc from the same, view. " Mob?," however, were dreaded tliinijs- things to be fcareil and put down by Conservative Governments, for the Liberal clement was too strong in them— and so the towns where the "mobs" were to be found had been restricted by the bill lo a member for every o'OOO people. Me Speight then passed on to consider the subject of native legislation, the most im portant part of which he held to be this Native Land Sales Bill—a measure based upon the principle of the propped Bill of the Grey Government. The Grey party, sincerely anxious to obtain good legislation on this vexations subject, loyally supported the Bill which embodied their views even though intro duced by the enemy and despite the know ledge that their opposition would mean the defeat of the Government. With this Hill theMiuistciswcreguilty of gross insincerity, for they introduced it" with the evidently prearranged intention of withdrawing it, as its introduction was ouly made iv Older to keep up an appearance cf fulfilling promises. Like Macbeth's witches they "kept the word of promise to the ear, but broke it to tho hope." The speaker went ou to con demn Mr Shcehan for voting against the Bill which embodied his own principles and enunciated views on the subject of native laudj legislation, and for travers ing arguments which ho had formerly used with such decided eil'eet. He believed that the Government fully in tended to refrain from carrying out the declared intention of Parliament to pur chase a landed estate for the North Island in order to create with the consequent savings a fund with which to bribe the constituencies at the next general elections —to form a fund of some two or three millions which would enable then to throw sops to constituencies in the shape of promised works with a view of purchasing support. For this purpose, the negocia tions for the acquisition of the Patetero aud other desirable blocKs had been withdrawn from. The speaker then went on to give the history of the trans actions iv connection with Patetere. It had been said that the settlement of Pate tere by a land association was a good thing, and it might be so, but it was not a good thing to settle it by illegal means, for that was the point involved. (Applause.) Would the Government at the request of any other speculators remove the procla mation upon similarly-situated blocks? He did not thiuk so. If the Government intended to give up native land purchase altogether, let them say so distinctly, and put people on an equal footing. But they did not choose to do so—it would not suit their purposes. The Hon. Major Atkinson had told tho country the other day that he had reduced the expenditure by a sum of £250,000, but why had he brought down the estimates last year on the same elaborate basis as,he had the year before, if retrenchment were such an easy thing ? He would like to know upon what plea of decency Major Atkinson could support his statement that he had saved £250,000, for while he proposed a reduction of £50,000 on tho estimates, the House had cut them down by £218,000. The Govern ment system of economy was exemplified by the heartless aud unmitigated ten per cent, reduction of salaries all round—a most unjust method. Their mode of saving was that of the miser. Instead of going to the root of things and cutting off worthless offices, and doing away with un productive works, they saved, by retraining from making a needed road here, from con structing a much required bridge there, and by allowing Government property to fall into disrepair rather than by a judicious ex penditure to improve and renew it. After denouncing the appointment of Sir Dillon Bell at a salary of £1,400 as Agent-General when it had been understood that the office was to rjs abolished altogether, and explain ing with much humour the controversy in connection with Dr. Pollen's claim for a pension for services rendered as a Civil Servant while also during a portion of the period acting as a Minister, Mr Speight proceeded to denouuee the impolicy of allowing an irresponsible Commissioner like Sir William Fox to usurp the functions and discharge many of the most important duties of the Native Minister. He believed that one of the real cause 3of Mr Bryce's resignation ■was his disinclination to accept the responsibility •of a course of action which was being pursued single handed by a man over whom he had no con trol and who could not be saddled with tha proper liability for his dtiiugs. The speaker concluded an address extending over two hours and a quarter by stating his strong opinion that a proper system of taxation would rely upon the land as the main source of revenue for the government' of the country rather than adhere, to the system at present in operation which was guided by no idea of justice, nor based upou any correct principle of political economy, and by, urging the people to con tinue to watch vigilantly the work of legis lation as that was the only means of securing the proper and equitable government of the country, as well as integrity of purpose in our public men. (Applause) Questions having been invited, Mr Speight in answer to trie query as to •whether he intended again to stand for City East, said that he had been elected as the unit of a party, and that wherever that party thought in its interests ho should go, he was willing to go. Mr O'Hara asked if the member was in favour of the Dog Tax. * Mr Speight said that he was in favour of the extermination of useless curs ot every breed, and his opinion of the Dog Tax was beat shewn by the fact that in the district whore he lived he had been instrumental in hanging tho Act up. Another elector: And what about the rate? Mr Speight: Oh, we'll send tho dogs after them. (Loud laughter.) Mr Thomas proposed, and Mr Shearson seconded, a vote of confidence in Mr Speight which was unanimously passed. Mr Speight acknowledged the vote and then moved tho customary compliment to the chair. ' This was passed, and tho meeting dis solved. _____

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE

STAKILIN^mSgOVEKY » A

A LONG discussion took place at the meet ing of the Worcester Town Council, with regard to a case in which a man had been taken for dead, and was in a cofhn at the doadhouse. Charles Davies, aged twenty nine, a carriage trimmer at Worcester, at tempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat, he being found in a pool ot blood. Two local medical men, who were brought to see the maD, gave it as their opinion that he. was dead. The coroner s officer, hearing of the matter, soon arrived, and, taking it for granted that the man was dead, sent two of his assistants off for a coffin and a barrow. The body was placed in the coffin and was wheeled to the mor tuary in the Worcester Churchyard, arid would have remained there to await the coroner's inquest, but the coroners officer suddenly observed the supposed corpse move his eyelids. This startled the officer After waiting a few seconds the man heaved a deep sighandthenmovedoneleg. Another doctor was then brought, and he pr°nouneed the man to be alive, and not dead. He ordered him to bo taken out of the colhn, and he was hurried off to the mfirmaiy, where he was seen by the doctors who had previously pronounced him dead. lne wound in the man's throat was dressed, and afterwards he was able to communicate with the house surgeon. N°»rlyt»re* hours elapsed from the time the poor fellow was discovered with his throat wit and his removal to the infirmary. The occurrence has caused a great sensation in Wor cester. _^_^_ ,

COROMANDEL NEWS.

[FROM THE COKOMAMDEIi MAIL.]

During the week a great deal of work has been done towards widening and extending the new road, at one time over twenty men having been engaged. Some thoughtless person having set fire to the bush, which at present owing to the long continued dry weather is very inflammable, a great part of the road leading up to tile Tiki spur has been enveloped iv smoke. Last Wednesday it was potitively dangerous to pass along, owing to the numerous burning branches that were contiuually falling from tke trees which overhang the road. Iv Australia there is a severe penalty attached to the crime ot bush-firing, and it is to be hoped that if the guilty party cau be discovered that a severe example will be made.of him, for besides the fact oi the danger arising from the conflagration, a large amount of valuable timber has been destroyed. Last Monday a license was granted to the hotel erected by Mr Tliorby, aud purchased from him by Mr Kelly, who is now ready to receive visitors. Several new stores arc being erected, causing (he hitherto solitary bush to have the ap pearance of a small village. Since the rich specimen was discovered by Wells a number ot miners have been prospecting the sup posed locality of the lind iv the Matawai Creek, but up to the present without suc cetH. Many believe that the stone was swept down the creek by lreshes, and that it will be a difficult matter to find the reef which shed so rich a specimen of quartz. Several well-known Auckland gentlemen have during the week paid a visit to this district, and they are surprised at the rich ness of the field. Amongst the visitors I may mention Seymour George, Esq., M.H.R.

Blackmore's.—The fact of rich gold having been struck in the tunnel at a depth of about iiity feet from the surface has caused a large amount of interest to be cen tered in this mine. The find is in the flat reef, to cut which the tunnel was driven and the lode, when cut through, looks very pro mising, with every indication of gold going down. Just before breaking down the reef an Auckland gentleman purchased a quarter share for £125. After the value of the reef was known, a much larger sum would not have purchased the interest. Since the reef was pierced aud found to be about two feet in thickness, no work has beeu done on it, the shareholders having been engaged with the road party, and conferring their attention to the specimen leader, which gave a batch of rich specimens last week. Last Thursday morning, several more feet of the leader having been stripped, was broken down and another patch of specimens Lagged. This mine, there is every reason to believe, is identical with : Sheehan's specimen leader, and it looks well for the future of the field to find the gold so strong and continuing for such a distance. SHEKHAM'S.-Mr Kirby, the manager ap pointed to take charts of this valuable property, is eDgaged putting in a new level, which will give when the drive works underneath where t.he late crushing was taken from a distance of some 40 feet, about 50 feet o£ backs. The reef has been stripped in the face, and crushing stuff will be paddocked straight away. Battery.—About 3 tons of general stuff are on hand, besides some GOlbs. of sped mens and a quantity of picked stone.> Matawai G.M Company.—lnthisnrne the manager, Mr Bremner, has been for tunate enough to discover on the western side of the spur which runs up from Barrett's, a very promising leader. The quartz, when pounded, shows gold, and colours can be obtained along the surface on the course of the leader. Time has not allowed work to be done on this lode, which is at present about 5 inches in widtt, but when driven upon some little distance it will doubtless add considerably to tho valuejof the property.

CITY OF NEW YORK MISSING.

fItUUTER'S TELEG.IUMS.]

MELBOURNE, Saturday. London telegrams state that the Pacific Mail steamer City of New York, which left Auckland on Ist. March, had not yet reached San Francisco, and is a week over due., A steamer has left San Francisco to search for the City of New York.

As tho steamer did not leave Auckland until midnight of the Ist March, auy grave anxiety on her account seems to bo premature. The uncertainty that prevails when a few days' delay occurs, shows the importance of a lino of cable to Honolulu. If one wero in existence, speculation as to the steamer's wherabouta would have more tangiblo material to guide it. We shall' pro bably hear in a day or two that gome accident to the machinery has been the cause of the delay. The follow ing were the Auckland passengers:— Saloon : Mr nud Mi's Woodruff, and family, MriandMiSjll. F. Birloy, Mr aud Mrs Muncrtzhager, nurse, and six children, Mr and Mrs Brooke, Mrs M.

TILE CUTTER DIAMOND RE PORTED LOST.

A ItUMOUR has beon largely circulated in towft this afternoon to the all'cct that the cuttor Diamond, owned by Mr Edward Clare, with that gentleman, his wife and family and ouo or two other poisons on hoard capsized ot tho island oil' Kawau during a blow yesterday, [From what source tho rumour came we have beeu so far unable to discover, but the facts bo far as we have learnt me biiclly as follows :— Mr Clare left this port iv the Diamond a few hays n<ro with the iuteutiou of pto ceediufj to Kawau. The vessel whs seen there on Thursday, but siuce then we have no oilicial intimation of her whereabouts. The report which has beensowidelyciiculated is that Mr Clare, after procuring a quantity of oysters at Kawau, left for Auckland, and beiore well uudcrwny capsized drown ing all hands. A small yacht, called the Flying Fish, belouging to Mr Kuox, fisherman, arrived from the vicinity of Kawau this morning, and her occupants report that no such vessel as tho Diamond was seen during yesterday, aud they had heard nothing of aiiy accideut having happened.

ENGLAND'S DESPOT.

(To the Editor),

Sir, —I respect a man who appends his name to his letters,otherwiso I should not think it, necessary to reply la Mr Oram's last. While we both claim to be guided by common sense, liberty of con science must have its limitations. The thief's conscience allow him to steal, but his neighbour.fails to see auy viitue in tho act. A publican's conscience may allow him to sell bad grog, but it will not agree with his customers' views of what is ritfht. A drunkard's conscience will allow him to get drunk and disorderly, but he co.nmits a crime nevertheless. The "yellow flag of disease and death;" the evil effects of drink disturbs some incus conscience, but not often the publican's for he shuts his eyes and does no*' see it. During the time of Britith slavery, the slave-holder used just the fame arguments as Mr Oram. "It was a legitimate trade," so the owners declared, but it was death to the slave, and yet it \va3 not so destruc tive to life and property as the driuk traffic of the present day—yet it was legalized by Act of Parliament, until " fanatics " like Clark.son, Wilberforce, Buxton, Brougham, aud many more, like-minded men led the public to alter their views, and declare that ihe trade should exist no longer, aud yet the slave trade was better than the liquor traffic in this that it had one redcennn; quality. The slave labour waa turned to good account in producing cotton, sugar aud rice, but the drink-trailic does no good. Alcohol as a dietary is useless, for, accord ing to tho bost medical testimony, it neither gives health nor pcrmancut strength, neither is it suited for extreme heat or cold, only as a mediciue is alcohol iv auy of its various forms of any use, except, of course, for some scientific purposes.

Mr Oram censures temperance men for not "lindiug reasonable remedial measures" in the face of our urging strongly—since the d.ink is useless, and at the same time very destructive to the prosperity of the public, that they shoulddo without itcntircdy. The fact [according to Mr Oram's.ad mission] that the trade is restricted by Act of Parliament is proof that the trade is dangerous, Then why not try to remove the evil as far as possible ? Mr Oram will not contend that 74 public-houses, mostly open until 12 o'clock at night, are necessary for the well-being of the city of Auckland. The public are not benefited by this arrange ment and I can only throw tho statement back upon Mr Oram and his friends, that it must be for their own benefit, othorwise they would not be so fond of keeping a public house, or bo patriotic enough to keep one open till midnight for the public good, but I do not find so much fault with the publican or the accommodation they provide for the public as I do with the Licensing Courts, and the Legislature, that endorses their proceedings. If the poople were consulted in each local district, their vote would soon decide tho question whether the house was needed or otherwise. In so doing I shift the charge ot Despotism upon the shoulders of Mr Oram and his friends. The temperance people are williug to put the question of license or no license upon the broadest possible basis. Let the men, women and children, even of a proper age,be allowed to vote —for they are all deeply mterestcd and fearfully injured by the praaent system, and it is tho des potism of the Court and the Government of which we complain—" That they legislate for the few, to tho fearful injury of the many."—l am, &c, Joseph Newman.

THE HORRORS OF A CHINESE EXECUTION.

The "Pekin Gazette " contains the follow ing account ot the execution of a woman in China, who had been found guilty of the murder of her husband, and had received the sentence of "ling chi" (cutting into 10,000 slices) which, according to the Chinese penal code, is inflicted on a wife for killing her husband, or cither of his parents, or vice versa. The method of executing the ''ling chi' is as follows :— The criminal is conveyed to the execution ground in a basket slung on a bamboo between two coolies. Halt stupefied by fear, and rendered almost insensible to the fate about to be suffered, from the effects of samshoo, which is given to the victim in abundance, the procession wends its way between throrjga of Celestials The road is lived with sedan chairs conveying the officials, both high and low, to witness the sight. Upon arrival at the place of punishment a crov/d of chattering Chinese may be seen, aome engaged smoking their pipes, others discussing their early bowl of congee at the stall of tho perambulating vendors of edibles. Not the least trace of any feeling of awe or compassion is exhibited at the tragedy about to be enacted. The criminal is made to kneel, while a subordinate officer reads the edict of the Viceroy. At a given sigual from the judge the two executioners step forward and seize the unfortunate wretch. Divested of every particle of clothing, he or she is bound hand and foot to two upright pieces of wood in the form of a St. Andrew's cross. The minions of the law draw from their belts two short sharp knives. They arc now ready for their bloody work. With a devilish skill they commence to slit the skin and flesh at the wrists Proceeding up the arms until the neck is reached, their attention is then directed to the lower limbs. The ankles upwards, the fleshy part of the legs and thighs, right up to the chest, are under operation. The whole body is now one quivering mass of strips of skin and flesh, from which the blood is pouring in streams, dyeing the around and the executioners' clothes a vivid red colour. By this time the vast crowd are on the tiptoe of expectation, straining their bodies to get a glimpse of the eory figure, and eager to watch the least sound of a sigh or groan. After the shriek of

' pain which attends tlie first use of the knife frequently nothing but low agonising moans escape the lips. While this horrible scene is being enacted the peanut haiVkers, the bean-curd and candy hucksters ply their trade, oblividus of the tact that a human being is undergoing tortufre. With head dropped on the breast, closed eyes, and the face bearing an un utterable look of pain and agony, the victim now stands. The judge, seemingly tired at the disgusting sight, claps his hands. The chief executioner lit the signal pliinge& His knife into the breast,', aud with one hitnd tears open the flesh, while with the other ho pulls the quivering heart out by the roots, holds it up to view, and then (lashes it to tho ground. Thus justice is vindi cated.

THE MYSTERY OF LORD BRACKENBURY: A NOVEL.

BY AMELIA B. EDWARDS.

EPILOGUE.

CHAPTER I. AVTKR TWKI.VE YKABS,

AFTklt twelve years—twelve eventful years in the history of tho world I Years of war and peace, of gain and loss, of change, aud sunshine, and storm. In India, the last (ires of tho Mutiny had been stamped out. In Abyssinia, the taking of Msigdalii had beeu followed bptho tingic death of King Theodore.

Nearer home, the French and Sardinian armies had won back the Lombard provinces, Will Victor Emmanuel had become King of ltiily. Hut the war between France and Prussia, the fall of tho Napoleonic dynasty, the ri^o of tho Gorman Empire, wero yot to come. On the other huud, somo blood less changes had happened which, although they loft the political map of Europe unal tered, may be said in.'aiiotber bcusc to have revolutionised the map of tho whole world. Cities tho moat distant, nationalities the moat diverse, had boon brought together by a network of rails and wires ; while tho Mont Cenis Tunnel, tho Suez Canal, and tho Atlantic cable had abolished tho natural boundaries of mouutaiu and desert and i-ca.

Such, In outline, wcro tho main events that marked tho procession of those twolvo years across tho stajje of history. Upon that minor stage occupied by the personages with whose fortunes wo are here concerned, no .startling changes, whether for good or ill, have meanwhile taken placo. \V ith Lance lot ami Winifred, tho course ot true love has run with v smoothness that sets the time-honourod proverb at defiance. Blessed in their home, iv their children, in each other, they arc happy themselves, and a source of happiness to those around them. Under their beneficent rule, a flourishing colony has Kprung up ou Burlield Moor, consisting at lirstof only thechurcli, schools, vicarage, and about a score of cottages, tho new district has, during these twelve years amumed tho aspect of a large though scat tered village, and numbers a population of .some eight hundred souls. It would be too much to say that all tho " dark folk" have become members of this decent community. Many of the old stock arc still unreclaimed and not even Mr Pcnnefeathcr, whoso success has already surpassed his own wannest hopes, anticipates that lie shall livo to ccc tho day when the Plants and Stanways will leave oil' poaching and pilfer ing, and Bcttlo dowu into respectable rout aud-tax-payors like tho rest. Mr Peuuc feathor, it is needless to add, is tho most devoted, the most earnest of North-country parsons. That which his hand finds to do, he does with all his might; aud his might, both physically aud morally.is greater than the might of most men. Itis, at all events, adequate to that work which is the labour and the crown of his life.

As for Mrs Pcunefeatlicr, she says herself tbat she is too hnppy. 11 er children flourish in the free air of the moor; and her two elder boys, having won their scholarships at school, are now graduating at Cambridge. The " baby," long since deposed by a newer claimant to that title, is at Rugby. The "baby," is Lady Brnckenbury's es pecial protege', and owes his school ex penses to her bouuty. In the meanwhile, Mrs Penncfoathcr, having now many six pences a year to spend as she likes, is hi her way, as active and helpful as Mr Penuefeather himself. Her way, too, is a very pleasaut way. Her sympathies are quick, and she has "a hand open as day for melting charity." It is, after all, not wonderful if her genial nature should com mand moro ready love than the sterner virtnc*of her husband. She is still, despite lime and altered ciicumstancen, Lady Bracken bury's dearest friend ; and to Lady Brackcnbury she has confided something of tho plot of that yet unwritten novel which is to show the world how well sho can write under the burden of prosperity. The Hrackenburys, during these twelve years, have lived principally at Brackrm bury Court, on their own lauds and among their own people. They sometimes travel for a couple of months in the autumn, and it is their habit to spend a few weeks every season at some London hotel; but they have no town house, and not till their children are of an age to go into society do they propose to indulge in that expensive luxury. Tho world-or that small, self consticucd body which nails itself the world—wonders why Lord Brackenbury does so little with his wealth. He keeps a sullicient establishment, it is true ; he. en tertiius, not extravagantly,but hospitably ; he lills his house now and then for a few

' i \J?'tne making of booSs there Is no end," \J wrote an inspired author in the infancy of tho world, thousands ot years before the art pre servative of all arts was discovered. But book making now ia a very different thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously nenned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, now a-days the world is almost " cm barras dcs rechesees" of learning, "quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in books. And much of this learning is liberally supplied by modern publishers, Buoh as Caßsell, Potter and Galpin. Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. Not only are the works issued by theEO firms of the highest practical ■ use, but they are sent out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of the remarkable progress that has been made in book illumination. Nothing in our opinion teiids to civilise or beautify a home 1 so much as good hooks and pictures. You can I form a good idea of a m&n from his library. The great diffloulty with many in obtaining 1 booko of a high class in nearly every depart ■ ment of literature is the almost prohibitive price ■ at which they are issued from the press, and it 1 is rettlly a boon to society when works of 1 admitted excellence are brought within the L reach of persons of moderate means by the ■ admirable System op Time Payments.
