PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.)

WELLINGTON* this day.

REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS. I hbak that a leading member of the Oppo sition has suggested to the Government that they could greatly abridge the lime that would be taken up in discussing the Redistribution.of Seats Bill by bringing; down a bill with merely bo many members allocated to each Provincial District, leav*. ing to the members for that Provincial Dis trlct to say what the boundaries of the several electorates shall be. There is a de side among many of the Opposition to make the session as shor.t aa .possible, consistent with the passage of neceisary legislation, \ , CABINET MEETING. '■A cabinet meeting was held on Saturday after the caucus, and sat a very long time. The estimates were reconsidered. Among other things suggested It is rumoured among civil servants, that the question of the ton per cent, reduction was considered by the Cabinet, and with the exception of the Premier all Ministers agreed not to make the reduction this year. The esti mates are still in type, as they have been tor tke pant fortnight, waiting the pleasure of the Government, but if it be true that fnrther alterations are to be made, there appears little probability of their being down to-morrow. OPPOSITION CAUCUS. I A caucus of the Opposition was to have been held at 2 p.m. to consider the line of action for the future, but it has since been decided to w«it a few days to get all the measures of tho Government down. ANOTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT MOTION.

Mr Sattnders' motion with reference to the Separation of Meal and colonial finance is looked on.by tb'e Opposition as equivalent ti) a want of confidence motion. The follow log is its f nil text :—" That no financial proposals will bs acceptable to this House that are not based on a strict adaptation of the annual expenditure of the colony to its annual revenue without any assistance from brorowed money, and that do not aim at the complete seperation of colonial and local finance, and the entire emancipation of the latter from the control or interference of this House. The motion is tabled for 10th August.

WELLINGTON, this afternoon. MEETING OF OTaGO PHALANX.

A meeting of Otago and Southland mem bers was held this day, by request of Mr Macandrew, who occupied the chair. All the Otago and Southland members in Wellington were present. On the motion ot Mr J. C. Brown, it was Agreed thai in the opinion of this meeting Ihere should be no increase of the number of members in t the P'ouae of Representatives,- and that in any such re-adjustment it shall be understood thn't city and. suburban constituencies should, upon the average, have 33 more per cent., inhabitants to their represen tation than, country constituencies. y t.t was moved by Mr Murray that each Provincial District should have the propor tjfia to it, the number of members it is entitled to, and the redistribution of such representations should be arranged by the members at present representing such Pro vincial District. This also was curried.

On the motion of Mr Barron, it was agreed that Mr Macandrew wait on the Premier and make arrangements to receive a depu tation of Otago members to lay the resolu tions of the meeting before him.

The dividend will be payable on application at the Company's office, Custom House, street.—For the Board of Director*—William C. Daldy, Chair man. The balance-sbpet was as follows: —

G. Wadk, Auditor, Auckland, July 30th, 1881.

■ The Chairman, in moring the adoption of the iepoit, Baid.it wa« a genuine statement, and if it erred at all it was on the safe side. They were now erecting a powerful mill capable {of cutting 150 tons per week, at Mongonni. They had also opened the bushe* there, and bad about two million feet in the creeks. During the three years they had written off £8,000, and this was certainly keeping on the right side. They were now endeavouring to keep pace with demands, and where new markets were opened, they competed by opening news. He was confident that a great deal of their success was due to the efforts of Mr Hold ship. He recommended the shareholders to inspect the new mill, and the extensive brick promises they were haying erected'on the Reclamation. •

The adoption of the report was seconded by Mr Minnetti, and agree to. "Diekctok AHD Auditor.—Mr Bleazard was re-elected a Director on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr Skinner. The remuneration of the auditor was fixed at £30. Mr Wade was appointed auditor. Mr Holdship addressed the meeting. The success of the company depended on the cash it had to carry on the business. If they spent all tbo money in dividends, they would probably have to borrow outside, and thHS give mortgages over their build ings, and probably sell their surplus shares. Theao shares, he believed, would soon be of much greater value than ;u present. The meeting concluded with votes of thanks to the .Directors and Chairman. <

TELEGRAMS.

(FROM OBE OWN COREESFOSDEKT.)

RUSSELL, this day.

A public meeting was held last night and wa3 largely attended by the owners of stock to discuss what steps should be taken to prevent the Municipal Act being actively 6nforced, the Act having laid dormant for years but is now only being enforced through the action, of one of the Inhabitants. It was decided to draw up an agreement doing ilway with all cattle . that were an annoyance,, and limiting the number of stock that should be kept in the township, and after the, same is signed to request the Government to again let the law be in abeyancß'as it- becomes a great hardship in a country place to be debarred from keeping a cow and horse.

Tenders were accepted to-day for the building of a Public Hall. The want of such a building has long been felt.

The statement of assets and liabilities showed that the latter amounted to £5,311 4s lOd (including loan of £5,000) and the former to £8,018 3s 4d, of which the largest item was flracecourse, £5,500. The auditor (Mr Waymouth) reported that the balance and income.and expenditure account was not bo favourable as last year by £330, but that this was,caused not by any decrease in the prosperity of the Olab's operations, but in consequence of increased liberality to the proprietors of horses and in other ways.

MINING NEWS.

Union G.M.C.—The manager reports

" Since my last report the contractors are very nearly finished. Both contracts will be finished about Tuesday next. Mathews, in the upper tunnel, is cutting through a reef. He is five feet through, and there is no appearance of the footwalL I have pros pected the stuff, and it is carrying a little loose gold, but nothing to speak of as yet. I have seen nothing in the stone yet, but I hope I soon will. On Tiernan's boundary, where the wages man is working, there is a fine looking reef, about a foot thick. I ex pect, everyday, to get gold in this reef. Hokitiki G.M.C.—The manager reports: In this Company's ground I hare one m&n trenching. He has cut three fine looking reefs. 1 have got a few colours of gold on the surface, and 1 intend to cut those reefs in different places on the surface to try and get on a shot of gold somewhere on those reefs.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The announcement of;" The Colleen Bawn" and "The Young Widow " had the effect of attracting a largo audience to the Theatre on Saturday evening. Boucicault's drama tisation was performed in an eminently suc cessful manner, and the entire satisfaction of " the house " with it was signified by the hearty plaudits which marked almost every situation. Miss Leieh played the part of the heroine, Bily O'Connor, and Mr Carden that of Myles-na-Coppaleen, while Miss Tanner sustained the role of Ann Chute, Mr Elliott that of Hardress Cregan, and Mr Welsh that of Danny Mann. All these impersonations were of an exceptionally high character, and the performance there fore was very effective. Miss Leigh sang with much taste and expression " The Cruiskeeu Lawn," and " The Pretty Girl Milking her Cow." In the laughable after piece, Miss Maggie Knight, Miss Tanner, Mr O'Brien, and Mr McGowan appeared to I advantage. The first-named lady brought down the house with her song, "Little Widow Dunn." "THE FROZEN DEEP,"

a dramatisation of Wilkie Collin's powerful novel of the same name, will be produced this evening with full accessories and new and complete scenery. It has been in pre paration for sometime, and is said to be well-calculated to hit the public taste. It contains exciting tableaux, while the plot is one of enthralling interest, lead ing to a startling and impressive denouement. The first scene is laid at Portsmouth, the second amidst the dreary waste* of the Arctic region, and the third in the Isle of Wight.. An Irish couple named Kilrooghan, a Jewishslop-seller, and a single-eyed, well-seasoned " salt ' supply the comedy element. The drama ought to "take" well. Wednesday is the volun teer benefit night.

MRS SPOOPENDYKE OBTAINS AN INSIGHT.

11 MY deal'," said Mrs Spdopeudyke, hold; ing a piece of lace to her Overskirt and wondering whether she had better plait it on or full it in —" my dear who is this Con gressman Lock who has jttat died ?" "What Congressman Lock!" asked Mr Spoopendyke. " Why, I read in the paper this morning that they couldn't do any business because tii the dead Mr Lock. Did you know him?" '•That ain't a Congressman, said Mr Sdootiendyke- "Ytiu read that there was a deadlock in the Senate. Wasn't that it?" ■ i " Yes, and I lead it all through, and when I found that Mr Conkling felt so bed about it I thought Mr Lock must be a Con gressman." No he isn't either. The deadlock means that the Democrats and Kepublicans can't agree." Good gracious ! Have they had another falling out t I shouldn't think the Republicans would hght the poor Demo crats any more. What have they been doing now I"

"They haven't been doing anything. Senator Mahone, of Virginia, went over to Republicans and—" "I see," interrupted Mrs Spoopendyke " and Mr Conkling won't have him con firmed. Though I can't understand why they should interfere itith Mr Mahone's religion. If the poor man wants to join the church I " " Who Wants to join the church 1 Who's a church ? Think Mr (jonkling's a bishop i Got an idea he's ah altar If S'pOse he's a blooming chapel with ivy all over Him, a spidn fence andjd chime of bells z Its Stan ley Matthews he don't want confirmed." "I read aobilt him * oo," rejoined. Mr Spoopendyke. " He's Mr Garfie'ld's collec tor, isn't he?" "No he ain't. That's Judge Robertson. Mr Garfield wants Judge Robertson for collector, and Mr Conkling is opposed to him."

" I don't see why he should be. Though, of course, I should suppose Mr Garfield would rather have a man like Mr Mahone, who is going into the Church1." "Whore's your .sense t" snored Mr Spoopendyke. '' What d'ye want to mix things up for $ Trying to, riiake a grab-big of prominent AmeribansT Stanley Mat thews is iiatididiiti' for judge, ; Mt. Mahono is a senator, add Robertson i« appointed collector, but,- like Matthews, haß'nt been confirmed. Can,you see, through that ?", "Of course, 1 understood that,^but I,don't see any|excuse for fighting tJUe Democrats, unless they think that Mr Robertson would collect money from Mr Mahone, and M.i Matthews would send him to jail. In that caie it "

"In that case it would take you to straighten 'em out!" squealed Mr Spoopen dyke. " What are you trying'to get up now an idiot asylum? Are yon planning for a mur der and trying to get up an insanity play ? What d'ye think Robertson's going to collect hens ? Got a notion that Matthews is a penitentiary, sitting around to be leased out? Imagine Mahone to be the national debt ? Well, they ain't, they're men, I tell ye. Men with legs," and Mr Spoopendyke kicked put both his own foot handles by way of illustration. " Conkling isVopposed to Matthews and Robertson. So says they anaut be confirmed, bnt he is a friend of Mahone."

'"That's what I didn't see," said Mrs Spoopendyke. lam glad Mr Mahone will by confirmed, though I dont care for Mr Mr Kobertson. It will teach them to repent their sins, and not fly into the face of Providence. I'm glad Mr Conklin is a good Episcopalian." ." Oh, he's a prayer-book 1" howled Mr Spoopendyke. " You've fonnd him out t You've got him 1 All he wants is a red cushion and a rack nailed up in front of him to be a mourner's bench 1 Didn't I tell ye he was a senator ? Do you know what a senator is? It's something shaped like a pie, a measly pie. Understand it now!" And is Mr. Mahone a senator, too ?" asked Mrs Spoopendykej a new liaht drawing upon hen " No, he ain't a senator," grorned Mr Spoopendyke—" he's a rod to keep howling idiots from fafling overboard. Begin to see into it ? And they want him confirmed, so if he finds any blooming oid female named Spoopendyke slopping into canal, he'll slam a church top on her. Got the idea f

" Upon my word, my dear,"iemonstrated Mrs Spoopendyke, "you talk extravagantly. Mr Mahone may fight Democrats, but he would never go around throwing churches at women. 1 don't know Mr Mahone, but I don't believe he wonld do a thing of that kind. As for Mr Matthews and Mr Robert son they know their business better, but it they have abused Mr Conkling, I wonld never read one of Mr Matthew's decisions, and Mr Kobertson might call) here every day for a month and he could never even collect the paper bill. I don't think it's right to trust such men with the contribu tion box, and I know the misaionary ladies would nerer permit him to collect the sub scriptions." "That's it I" yelled Mr Spoopendyke. " There's the science of government 1 All you want now is a saloon in the basement to be the National Capitol! What you need is a gas meter and a veto to be an im proved White House 1 When Kobertson comes here for the milk bill, you pay him, I say pay him, you hear? And when Matthews is Justice of the Police in Brook lyn, you have Conkling arrested for selling coal, you hear? That'll tetch it 1 You've got the idea now I All yon want to do is to live all Bummer iv the soldiers' home to be complete administration ! If I had yonr vision I'd get up on three sticks and hire out as a telescope 1" " Of course, I'll do what yon say," re plied Mrs Spoopendyke submissively, " and if Conkling should take some of our coal, unless it was by mistake, I should certainly feel like complaining of him. If Mr Robertson comes, I. will pay him, though the milk is not as good as the first we got, Perhaps Mr Matthews will fix that when he gets to be justice. Do yon think Mr Mahone will come too ?"

" Come 1" shrieked Mr Spoopendyke, " of course he'll come. He's liable to be here any minute. He's a burglar, I tell you, and he may come over the back fence to-night 1 Look out for him, I think I hear him now!" and Mr Spoopendyke fell clear over himself into bed and pulled the clothes over his head.

"Now I understand why they have a dead lock," mused Mrs Sppoopendyko, pushing the table against the door as a pro caution against the marauding Mahone and then examining a pimple on her elbow; "its because those ambitious senators and collectors and justices and burglars, fight these poor Democrats all the time, I suspected there would be trouble when Mr Gartield beat Mr Arthur for the presidency. For my part I would rather be General Grant, and get all the money, though I don't see what he wants of it now he's sold out the World's Fair;" and Mrs Spoopendyke crawled into bed, wondering how the was to tell Mr Mahone from Mr Kobertson, and whether Mr Conkling would be content with what he could carry, or if he might not also demand her new chudda cloth dress with cut steel buttons.—" Brooklyn Eagle."
