House of Representatives.

Thursday. FAULTY WAGGONS. Replying to Mr Weight, Mr Hall said there could be no doubt but that someone waste blame for the faulty construction of the timber waggons which ran off tbe line at Kaitoke, but it was so long since they had been built that it was difficult to say who was responsible. They had been in use for years, and they had been looked upon as safe. The defects were now being remedied. ROAD BETWEEN ONEHUNGA AND NEW MARKET. Replying to Mr Tole, Mr Hall said steps had been taken for the repair of the Auckland and Onehunga-road between Onehunga and Newmarket. SCANDALOUS NEWSPAPERS. Mr DRIVER'S motion, introducing a Bill to prevent the printing and publication of scandalous newspapers was agreed to, and the Bill was read a first time. THE ACTION OF THE CHAIRMAN OF CO M MITTEES. Mr Gibbsmoved, "That, in the opinion of the House, the action of the Chairman of Committees in refusing to accept from the Hon. Mr Gisborne, on the evening of Fri day, the 2nd September, a mo'tionto report progress for the purpose of obtaining the opinion of Mr Speaker on a previous ruling of Mr Seymour, to the effect that he would receive no further motions to report progress or to leave the chair, or any amendments to the Bill under consideration, but such as he considered bona fide, was contrary to parlia mentary practise and the standing orders of this House, and will tend seriously to cur tail the freedom of debate in Parliament and strike a blow to the liberties of the people." He recognised the rights of majoities to rule, but at the same time contended that there were occasions upon which it was the duty of minorities to make themselves heard, and he felt the position of a member in that House would be a most unenviable one if their mouths were to be closed at the will and caprice of a majority, however large and influential. Mr Seymour contradicted the rumours to the effect that his ruling was the result of an understanding come to with Govern ment. No one knew what he intended doing, ho having consulted with no one ex cepting the Speaker. He referred to a similar action on the part of the Chairman of Committees in the House of Commons, where the discussion was put a stop to after 41 hours' continuous sitting. He cited that instance in justification of his action. Mr Stewart supported the Chairman's ruling, pointing out that in ordinary meet ings the Chairman would not allow an unruly member to obstruct the progress of business, and apart altogether from the powers given by the standing orders, a similar right vested in the Speaker of the House. Unless such a power existed Parliamentary government would be a perfect farce. The power ought to have been exercised at a much earlier .stage than was done. Members got up time after time, and avowed their intention of obstructing the business for a period of six months, if necessary. Such a state of things was absurd. It was not curtailing speech, it was simply putting a stop to a wiiful and perverse waste of time. The whole thing was obviously vexatious, and could not be submitted to.

Mr HALL referred to the thin state ot the House, which went far to show that the action referred to in the motion had been properly taken, and that there was no danger whatever to the right of debate on the liberties of the people. He quoted authorities to prove that the ac tion taken was justified, and quite in ac cordance with Parliamentary practice. He deduced from these authorities that it was contrary to the spirit of Parliamentary practice that clear and palpable obstruction should be tolerated, and even if they had no such authority, their own common sense told them that they were bound to adopt the course followed, and stop the abuse that was going on. Referring to the penalty im posed on Mr Gisborne, he reviewed the surrounding circumstances, concluding by giving it as his opinion that no other course could possibly have been followed. He had since received from all parts of tbe colony congratulatory re marks on the course which had been taken. He concluded by moving as an amendment, " That the action of the Chairman of Com mittees in refusing, on Friday last, when the Representation Bill was under consi deration in Committee, to report progress, and which appeared to him to be made for the purpose of obstruction, was so done by him in the exercise ot a proper discretionary

power." * Mr Moss denied that Mr Gisborne had been guilty of the obstruction complained of, and yet he was mulcted iv a penalty. Referring to the question of obstruction, he reminded them that on one occasion Mr Stewart bad delayed the business for a whole night simply to prevent a certain bill passiog. Then, again, they could recall the occasion on which the present Government had obstrocted the business for three weeks, until they had converted the celebrated " Auckland four " to their way of thinking. He further reminded them of what took place on the occasion of abolition, when the Speaker himself took part in the ob struction. The late minority, was not a small one ; there were at least 30 included in it, though a large number took no part in the obstruction. He admitted the op position had gone too far, and ought to have ceased when the House got into com mittee. Still, it went on in perfect good nature, and is was felt that they were deserving of further forbearance. He quoted to show that in the Imperial Par liament, although violent obstruction had been carried on for years, the stringent coercive measures had never been enforced. He felt that it was time that the obstruc tion was ended, but what he complained of was that it had not been ended in the right way. x -. ' ■•-, -.-^ :\- Mr BALLANCE contended that there was no parallel between the cases cited by the Premier and the circumstances un der which the Chairman acted on Friday night Mr Seddon reviewed the ruling of the Speaker adversely, contending that it was calculated to stultify the rights of debate. Interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment. The House resumed at 7.30. PENSIONS BILL.

Mr Shrimski moved, " That the amend ment a made by the Legislative Council in Pensions Bill be disallowed, being an in terference with the appropriations made by this Jtlouse, and consequently beyond the powers of the Council." The motion for disagreeing to the amend ment was then put and carried on the voices, and a committee eleoted to confer with the Council on the subject.

Mr Sudd's men havo a good portion of tha Umber work for pit in position. I find a largo portion ot tbe work at the foundry iv a forward eiate. Some repairs are required to the winding Bhaft between Nos. 4 and a levels, which will be started as soon as timber comes from the mill. I have been down the Piako shaft and find that repairs at No. 31evet must bo made before I can ascertain if we can go further down to get out the pipes, as at present the shaft is in a very badfltate.-RoBEBT ff-.NG_.Ts, September 8.

We aro now in a class of coumry where gold may be met with aoy moment. The contractors have driven about 24 feet during the week. In a few more days the drive will be far enough ahead to allow for the starting of tho rise _ which I recommend being proceeded with at onoe. The face of drive is now 1,620 feet in. Be battery : The first ten head of stampers will be ready for crushing today, the other four will be ready in a day or two.

Golden Star —I am still pushing tho main drive ahead. The small lode spoken of in my last on f ootwall has made quartz right aoroßS the face. It looks as if there would be a change as tho country was disturbed by a cross lode. The reason why no gold Is got is the mineral veins do not strike in<o the lode; onoe they do, gold will moßt likely be obtained.—H. Cowe,

Thrush.—l beg to report that we out the Colonial leader on Monday last, at a dlatanoe of 33 feet from the entranoe of the level. The leader where interseoted la a mere seam of mul lock with scarcely any quartz in it; but the country is well oharged with minerals, and I do not exoeot we shall nave far to drive before we meet with quartz and gold-bearing Btone. We have driven 15 feet during the week, and I have also done some prospecting on the leader in the cully. but without any good results,— Henry Thode, September 6.

Eureka.—The manager reports: The drive is in 45 feet, carrying good crushing dirt all the way. For the last few feet, the reef has opened out to about 3 feet, and little gold seen when broken down. We are also driving on the small leader, which will junction with the main reef in about 20 feet, and from the prospects at present there should be a good patch of gold. There is about 10 or 12 tons ready for crushing. —W. Gibbons.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING-HELENSVILLE.

A NOBLE RESCUE.

On Wednesday night about 7.30, Mrs Naugh ton, our respeotad and courteous police officer's wife, acoompanying her husband home after shopping, -was crossing the railway bridge south ot the Helenaville Statloa during a squall, when, unfortunately, she tell into the creek (a dreadfully dangerous atid muddy one) and, but for the timely and brave assistance ot Harry Hull, porter at tho Helenaville Station, would have been drowned. Her husband was walk ing a-head a few yards, when he heard, as he saya, a " splash." His wife had fallen 20 feet into the creek. A neighbour, Mr H, Walker, and tho porters at the station, viz, T. Night ingale and H. Hull, bearing the dreadful cry ot poor Naughton (who had jumped over Into this treacherous oreek hoping to swim to his wife's assistance), immediately ran to their roncue. Harry Hull, tne porter, fearlessly plunged into the oreek, and at the immediate risk ot being smothered in the mud, swam out to tho poor woman, who was floating out in an exhausted Btate before her helpless husband's eyes. The brave fellow picked her up, and sup ported her until the prompt arrival of the Min nie Casey's boat, manned by Mr Tom Ross, mate, and W, Shaughan, a West Indian seaman. This is the second life theae two sailors have helped to save within the last tbree weeks, lv and near Helenaville, by their prompt aud smart lowering of the Minnie Casey's boot- Mr Nightingale's presence of mind lacili tated the speedy arrival of Ross's boat thereby saving two valuable lives, Mr D. Stewart, upon being informed of the " dreadful wail." which pierced the evening air; with commendable coolness and forethought, hurried off to the scene of the accident with ropes, and was instrumental in extricating poor Naughton from his perilous and helpless posi tion. He had aunk ud to the armpita in the mud. It 1b hoped that under the kind and motherly care ot Mrs J. Walker of the hotel, Mrs Naugh ton, (who is in a very precarious state), will be soon restored to her children. The tender concern of Mr D. Stewart, in assisting the •willing nurses in restoring animation, and pro viding comforts for the poor woman cannot (tho' I know he does not want it) be too highly spoken of. Mr H. Hull is, considering the dreadful nature of the Kaipara Creek, well deserving ot the R.H. Society's medal, and it is hoped that his bravery will be reported to that Society, and that he will be rewarded with its badge as a recognition of his bravery.—( Corres pondent).

ROMAN CATHOLIC CONCERT, CAMBRIDGE.

This concert, held on the sth inst, was a great success, particularly in a financial point of view, for the halt was crowded. It was a pity the programme was such a long one, bat the audience sat it out well, and no doubt enjoyed the dance afterwards with so much the greater gusto. The ac companists to the various songs were Mr Bell, from Hamilton, and the Misses Wat son and Grey. Miss Nillson, at the last, kindly consented to-assist, and I sincerely hope that this lady, having once been per suaded to come forward, even in such a quiet way as on Monday evening, will not in future hide her light under a bushel, as she hitherto has done. The prima donna of the evening was without doubt Miss Finch, from Alexandra, though she did not get an encore ; but what could you expect from an audience who so vociferously clamoured for a repetition of such a song as "Mrs Green's Mother." I enjoy a good comic song as much as anyone, but it must be a good one. In both her songs, "A Dream within a Dream," and " Watching," Miss Finch, accompanied by Miss Nillson, sang remarKably well. It was evident she had studied her songs carefully, and she gaye ,vgreat expression to both of them. After her, Miss Swan, of Auckland, was, in my opinion, most worthy of commendation. _ler first song was reoeived rapturously, and when for an encore she sang, " Old Ire land, My Darling," the Irish feelings of her audience seemed wound up to their highest pitch, but I think her songs were too long. Mr Edgecombe, whose appearance is always welcome, gave the fine song " The Village Blacksmith "in good style to Mr Bell's ac companiment, and for an encore sub stituted Miss Nillson's song of "The Labourer," accompanied by the lady her self, but I candidly confess he made a ?' mull" of it, apparently forgetting portion of it entirely, much to every one's regret. The duet from the " Barber of Seville "" for violin and piano between Messrs Bell and Keesing went very well, and 1 think the Cambridge people ought to consider them selves'well off in gaining the assistance of : such' an able musician as Mr Bell. Time and space will not allow me to criticise each performer individually. Messrs Jaggs, Moor, Trewheeler, and Evans were in good voice though the former only gained an encore Mrs' Madigan sang "Thy Face" well Monsieur Galon's dnet, for piano and harmonium, played "by himself, _ was scarcely successful as a.musical perform ance The solo and chorus "Children's Voices," went fairly well', but would have been better if the solo had been taken by a soprano voice, instead of by Mr Moor, Our young friend, Mias Watson, who played most of the accompaniments, pro mises well, but shb must study correctness in her playing. The duel,,' "Pulaski.s Banner," -between Miss Grey and! Mr Moor, was rather tame; Miss Grey has a nice voice, but her words are quite' indis tinct One verse'of the National Anthem brought the .concert to _ close. Miss Dofan, and others', have been indefatigable in their exertions to make: tins' I concert' a success,—(Correspondent.)

THE SPEAKER AND OBSTRUC TION.-MISSTATEMENTS OF THE " HERALD."

(To the Editor.)

Sir. —Your telling article of yesterday I (Wednesday) refutes the semblance of reasoning advanced by your morning con temporary. It may be useful to show also that the recent occurrences in the British Parliament have been grossly misrepre sented. In the "Herald's" leading (mis leading) article of Tuesday we find mis statements and insinuations of which the following is a specimen: — " When Mr Gladstone, his colleagues and his majority found the powers of the Souse, as pres cribed by the Standing Orders, inadequate to overcome the obstruction of the Irish party with regard to the Irish Laud Bill, he did not call upon the Chairman of Com mittees to put down the obstruction by ex ceeding his powers, but after infinite patience, and with the approval of bis poli tical opponents, he called upon the House to suppreas the obstruction, aud it did so." Such are some of tho allegations of the "Herald" writer; the following are the facts. On Monday, the 31st of January last, in the House of Commons, soon after the commencement of the session, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, moved for leave to bring in the Peace Preservation (Ireland) Bill; whereupon the Home Rule Party resorted once more to their tactics of ob struction by moving amendments aud ad journments, and on every such motion speaking as long as possible. This went on continuously for 41 hours; but on Wednesday, the 2nd of February, the Speaker, when putting an amendment, announced that, acting exclusively on his own responsibility and sense of what was fitting and necessary, he had come to the determination of "allowiag no further debate," but that after that amendment the main question should be immediately put. The amendment having been nega tived, like the others, by an overwhelming majority, the Speaker at once proceeded to put the question that leave be given to bring in the bill, and on Mr McCarthy attempting to address the House for the purpose of introducing another amendment or motion, the Speaker peremptorily refused to hear him, whereupon, after much gesticu lation and shouting of "Privilege, privilege," tbe Home Rule party walked out of the House. That was the manner in which the House of Commons' stone walling was first put down, by the action of the Speaker alone, Subsequently, not previously, to this remarkable occurrence, did Mr Gladstone introduce the new Stand ing Orders, viz., on the following day, Thursday, the 3rd of February, and those new rules were considered modified and adopted only when the Home Uulers, 35 in numoer, had in succession been temporarily expelled from the House in consequence of their disobeying the ruling from the chair. The Peace Preservation Act was passed with the aid ot the new regulations; and after its being passed tbe Irish Land Bill was introduced. From this simple state ment of facts the reader will perceive how replete with misrepresentation i 3 the above extract from the " Herald," which is quite iv keeping with the rest It was the Speaker, not the House, that first put down the obstruction; and no such high-handed proceeding was resorted to by the Speaker in Wellington, It may be noticed thatit was not " with regard to the Irish Land Bill" that the obstruction waa being practised, but against the Peace Preserva tion Act, commonly called the Coercion Act. The latter blunder goes to acquit the 1 writer of conscious falsification, save the consciousness that he makes at random statements that he thinks .favourable to his case. But we cannot acquit him of surprising ignorance habitually exhibited on the subjects of which he writes, of gross recklessness in making assertions, and of extraordinary audacity in such attempts to mislead the' public.—l am, &c, Liberal Elkctok.

[When the "Herald" stated that the House of Commons patiently endured ob struction for three years without taking any steps to put it down, the writer either ex hibited gross ignorance or was guilty of wilful misrepresentation. At the vory beginning of the obstruction, measures were taken to maintain order, and on the 6th of August, 1878 (three years before Mr Gladstoue brought down his cldture resolu tions) Major O'Gormon was suspended by the Speaker for defying his re peated calls to order. In the United States Congress and every Representative Chamber of Europe, "iron hand" clauses in the Standing Orders have been provided to repress unreasonable obstruc tion. This has been found imperative to maintain the integrity of Representative Government. Mr Gladstone's "cldture" was merely an adaptation of the Orders long enforced in the French Chamber of Deputies. Our correspondent's account of the circumstances attending the introduc tion of the cldture in the House of Com mons is strictly correct. The Speaker stopped a debate on his own authority and had to order the forcible expulsion of the Irish members from the Chamber'one after another before business progressed, It was on the day after this scene that Mr Gladstone introduced the cldture. We quote from Atlantic despatches published in the STAR of 22ud March last, the account given of the action taken by the Speaker ot the House of Commons, It bears such a striking resemblance to the course adopted by Sir G. M. O'Korke that there can be no doubt he acted upon the precedent thus furnished him :— " London, February 2. The House of Commons, which assembled at 4 o'clock on the 31st January, continued the debate on the motion by Mr Forster for leave to introduce the Coercion Bill, and sat uninterruptedly through the night of the 31st, all through the^lsf, and the night of the Ist, until 9.30 on the morning of the 2nd of February, when the discussion was peremptorily closed by the Speaker. The Speaker pbinted out that a crisis had ar rived, demanding prompt ihtetpositiofi of the chair, that the rules of the House had proved powerless to ensure the otdinary effect of debate, and an important urgent measure was arrested by an inconsiderable minority of members, which resorted to modes of obstruction recognised" by ;the Hduse as a Parliamentary offence. The dignity, credit, and authority of the House had been seriously threatened. It was necessary to vindicate them. The Speaker, therefore, declined calling upon any more members to speak, and proceeded to put the question to the House. The amend ment of Mr Lyp,ns - demanding the pie cedence of remedial legislation was there upon negatived by 164 against 19. The Speaker proceeded to put the, question, that leave he given to introduce the bill, whereupon the Irish members rose to their feet and shouted "privilege" during several minutes.amid unparalleled uproar." The remainder'of the telegram 'describes very graphically the expulsion of the Irish members one after the "other", eaoh protest ing that the Speaker's action was a breach of privilege. This, it must be borne in mind,* occurred before-the cldture had been iutroduced; into the House!of Commons. sir G. M. O-riorkeis'too1 welltversed in Parliamentary usages.to make any mistake in the use of . his perogatives on so i momentous an issue.—Ed. E.S.] '' '•

OPENING OF THE NEWTON EAST SCHOOL.

The opening of the new school building in Newton East, recently completed to the order of the Board of Education, took place this afternoon in the presence of the School Committee, and a large number of the parents and friends of the pupils. The children were assembled in the main room of the old building after tbe mid-day recess, aud thither also the public wended their way, being graciously received by the head master (Mr Vereker Bindon), and accommo dated with seats.

Mr Joseph Warren (Chairman of the School Committee) presided. He opened the proceedings by calling for the children to sing a chorus. .They responded by ren dering with good effect ono of the selections contained in their book, "The Little Blackbird:"

The Chairman then in a few words stated the nature of the proceedings, and then in vited the Rev. B. T. Dudley to apeak. Tbe Rev. Mr Dudley congratulated the children upon the growth of their school, and upon the possession of such a handsome building as that which the Board had erected for the accommodation of the largely increasing numbers of the pubils. They were fortunate in having such commodious buildings, and more fortunate still in being under the" direction of so capable so general and so painstaking a master as Mr Bindon, He had occasion to traves Newton very often, and he knew of nil knowledge how generally Mr Bindon was liked and how profitable bis instruction was proving. He was an excellent tutor, and also a kind friend. The rev, gentleman went on to impress upon the .young people to remember what trouble the teachers had to incur in the discharge ot their duties, and what responsibility they had to bear, and therefore exhorted them to try and render their work as light and as agreeable as possible. He concluded by counselling them not to forget their dependence upon God, and the desirability of beginning each day's duties by soliciting His help and guidance. Mr Geo. Hemus was the next speaker. He pointed out the superior educutlonal advantages which the children of tho present day over those which their fathers and mothers had, and earnestly advised them not to allow them to slip by unutilised and unappre ciated. Their teachers were full of the requisite knowledge which they were ex pected to impart, but unless the pupila were willing and desirous to learn all the talents and pains of the teachers would bo barren of result. Learning was a thing over which the children had full control, and if they did not care to use it the teachers could not do it for them. Mr Hemus proceeded to shew his young hearers that they were now beiug fitted to fill the positions which thoy would very soon have to occupy in the active business in life, and to point out how importantly their future would depend upon the manner in w bich they played their parts aud iuf filled their scholastic duties now. He also con gratulated them upon having such com modious and comfortable buildings, such diligent and able teachers, and facilitios tor acquiring v good education. Another chorus having been sung, Mr Beaumont addressed the assemblage He praised theorderand decorum of the chil dren, complimented the teachers upon the exccellent discipline which they had, ceeded in maintaining. He though that the removal of difficulties from the school boys path, was not an unneeded blessiug for the boy who had the perseverance and the courage to face and master difficulties was qualified by the effort to undertake more ambitious tasks in after lite. The speaker passed on to counsel the boys to be chivalrous, to protect the weak of their number from the strong aud bullying, to treat new and diffident scholars with kindness, to avoid and despise tale bearing, and to apply themselves with assiduity to their studies.

Mr Enock Wood reminded tho children that they should be regular and punctual in their attendance at school obedient and respectful to their teachers, and well - versed iv their lessons. He also adverted fo the privileges which the boys and girls of these days enjoyed and that their elders had lacked.

Mr J. C. Wilkes also addressed the children.

One of the elder boys then came forward, and on behalf of the pupils of the sth and 6th classes presented Mr Herbert Mason, who is retiring from the teachers* staff, with a testimonial expressive of their sorrow at his approaching departure from the school, of gratitude for his patience and forbearance with them, and of good wishes for his success and happiness in life. The address was accompanied by an appropriate souvenir. Mr Mason feelingly acknowledged the presentation. Tbe proceedings wete still going on when our reporter left,
