Mr Huist went to Mr Weston to-day, and said "I was called a rat not long ago. Now you are called a mouse." Ibis is going the round of tho lobbies. • Auckland Petitions.

In reference to the petition of Samuel Cricket praying for an allotment of land, the commluee consider they have already a .ted liberally in the matter, and cannot TSS""So considered the netlfiWof James Wilson, and say, as the Set touer is engaged in the laudable in- Snsuy of carrying fish, and. that he has in reality asked for nothing in his petition, the committee have nothing to recommend. R J Feltus ha* probably sent more petitions to the Government this session than nay other person. The latest was pre .ent.d by Sir Geo. Grey. One of the clauses is as follows : " That through my brother s death, caused through fighting under the flag of England, my poor mother died with grief." The petition has not vet been dealt with.

The Night Sitting.

[PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

The following is a report of the conclu sion of the debate on Mr Smith's amendment upon the motion fur going into Committee ° Mr J. Buchanan understood that the Government had the question under con sideration of increasing the pay of iailway employes. t. a would vote against the amendment. Mr Bracken condemned the action or the Oovernment in treating the question before the House as oue of no-conlidence. Mr SMITH, to put himself in order, moved the adjournment of the debate, and ex plained that he brought forward the motion solely on his own re-ponsibihty as a pri vate member. He would now withdraw the amendment if it was the wish of the Mr HUTCUISOS said if it had not been for discussion on the amendment, the rail way employes would not have received anything extra, as the Minister of Public Works had repeatedly stated he would not increase the pay of these men. Mr White (Sydenham) said employes on the railway, and other labouring classes, were entitled to a rise in pay. A man could not fairly live on six shillings. He might exist. It would be better fer the colony if the lowest rate was eight shil lings. He thought the Minister of Public Works should not only give an increase, hut would go further than the member for Waipawa, and provide for men receiving extra pay for overtime, Mr S-BiMSKt did not agree with the course taken by the member who pro posed the resolution. Mr ALiiWBiGHT .aid he knew that it was the intention of the Government to do justice to these men. He would oppose the amendment. Mr HARRIS said he wsuld have thought the restoration of the rate of pay would have been granted to labouring men before Others, The question was then put that leave ho given to move to withdraw the amena ment, and leave was refused, Mr BARRO-. protested against the action of the Govemment in relujing to allow 'the amendment to be withdrawn, Mr M ss said the Government was res ponsible for the disotganised condition of the House. They should have resigned a month ago, when they wete in a minority. Mr WsSTON said when the Government had an opportunity of testing their strength with the Uppo.ition they had not done so. He could not submit to the action of the Government. The House was held up to contempt and ridicule by all the news papers of the colony, and the Govern ment wa3 responsible for this, and the sooner a vote ot no-confi_ence was pro posed and csrried, and new men placed on the Government benches, the better. Mr Whitaker condemned the action of the opposition. Mr Hurst begged the Government to allow the question to go on the voices Mr Thomson (Cluiha) said the Govern-, meat wereresponsibleforthedisorganisation of the House and the delay in business and Mr MORBIS laid the Government side wished ano-confidence motion to be brought on and decided one way or the other, and the business gone on with. As to the wages of railway employed, there were plenty of applicants. He did not see why the pay should be increased unless the uovernmeut wi-hed to do so. Mr HOBBS said the delay in the bu.loess was caused by the disorganised state of the Opposition. Messrs Lisvestam and Holmes spoke against the Government. Mr SMITH said he did not look on the question as a party question. He only desired a public expression from the Minister of Public Works. He had care fully avoided making this a party question. Be had the interests of poor working men whom he knew at heart, who were not re ceiving pay sufficient to support their families. He believed the debate had done good in getting an expression of opinion from members that these men had a grievance. He thanked members for the good-natured manner in which they debated the question. Mr KRYCE said that in asking leave to withdraw his amendment, Mr Smith coupled it with a condition that it should be given practical effect to by the Govern ment. He took it that if a division were taken on this proposal, all the Opposition members should have voted for it and been beaten, Mr MONIGOMERY said all the Opposition members would not vote for it. The motion that the debate be adjourned was negatived on the voices. The original motion to go into Committee ot tupply was carried on the voice- 1. In committee, a motion to report pro gress was made. The committee divided : Ayes, 19; noes, 42. The motion tor re porting pi ogress was lost. The estimates were then considered :— Class 2, Colonial Secretary, £24,880. Mr DUKOAN moved that item £15,000, for "Repairs to Dips, Expenses of Working Cattle, Rabbits, Sheep, and Fraud Act, and contingencies," be reduced by £12,000. Mr FELbWICK proposed that item £2,400, six chief inspectors, be reduced Dy £200. The question was then put that itom £2,400 be reduced £200-Ayes, 13; noes, 27. The motion to reduce the item was therefore lost. Progress was reported, and the House adjourned at 7.20 a.m.

Yesterday a woman named Boardmaa, wife of one ot the hands on board the s.s. Oreti, was found by the police in her resi dence, Hobson-street, lying; in a comatose state from the effects of drink. She was promptly removed to the hospital where, we understand, but slight hopes are enter tained of her recovery.

We are informed by Mr Superintendent Thom-onjthat an inquest on the body of the child foundat Cambridge under circum stances stated in another portion of this issue, that an inquest was to have been held at two o'clock, this afternoon.

Amonsst the applications which came before Mr Justice Gillies, in Chambers, this morning, was one by Mr Coleman, who moved re Seymour v. Hutchison, for an order committing the defendant to gaol, under the Imprisonment for Debt Abolition Act. Hutchison was present, and on being examined, swore that he had had no means during the past year wherewith to discharge his liability. His HoDor there fore refused Ihe application, and in doing so commented censoriously upon the cisc with which orders of commitment _ were obtained in the lower Court. He did not approve of such orders being granted unless fraud could be shewn on the part of the debtor either in concealing or making away with his property, or in obstinately refusing to pay while he had the means. Mr Coleman asked if it was not true that His Honor had drafted the very Bill that allowed all this. His Honor said that it was not true. The Bill which he drafted contained only three clauses, and it sought to abolish imprisonment for debt altogether, but it had to give way to the present measure, which was tbe work of the Attorney-General. On the ap plication of Mr Lai»hley, an order was made to register certain Crown grants in favour of John and George Darracb, and an OTder was also made to register a copy of the will of John Jackson Kobinson (de ceased). The liability for the costs of first trial in Perter and others v. Jagger and others was also determined. -

ST. HELIER'S L AND COM PANY.

The prospectus of the St. Helier's and Northcote Land Company is now before the public, and judging from the number of np. plications for shares whictt are being sent i in, there is every probability that the ven ture will receive wide-spread support. The company was originally projected for the purpose of acquiring blocks of good subur ban land to be re-sold in lots suitable for re sidence sites, and recently, with the view of adding to the value of their lands by affording greater facilities of access, the provisional directors have entered into arrangements for providing a system of tramways lor the city and suburb?. The capital"is £125,000, in £1 shares; and of this amount 2a Gd is to be paid on ap. plication, 2a 6d on allotment, Is 3d in six months, Is 3d in twelve month?, and the balance, if required, at the discretion of the directors. An agreement has been made with the City Council by which the company has secured the exclusive right to construct and'work the tramways for a period of 21 years, and the terms of the con cession leave no room to doubt that the un dertaking will be advantageous to the com. munity and profitable to the proprietors. It has also b.en decided to lay down a tramway to St. Helier's Bay, connecting at Parnell, tear Brighton Road, with the cily lines. This will place the property within twenty-five or thirty minutes'distance from Qoeen-street, and will greatly enhance the value of the lar_;e block of land which the company has purchased there. The pre • perties already purchased consist of several blocks of choice land, comprising the St. Helier's Bay estate of 620 acres, the Kemaera Land Company's estate of 117 acres, and the Northcote estate of 1,012 acres, amounting in all to 1,749 acres ; the whole being admirably adapted for villa sites, combining the advantages of exten sive frontage to the Waitemata harbour, picturesque scetiery, and soil of excellent quality, together with proximity to the city. The sales already effected have averaged £200 per acre in Remuera, and £120 at St. Helier's, and land adjacent to the North cote estate has been recently sold at £100 per acre. In connection with the contract; taken up from the Council, it would be well to remember the great increase ef value in land which has fallowed the con struction of tramways in suburban districts in other places, amounting, in some cases, l to ten times the original cost, and a3 the company's lands were purchased before any provision of the kind had been_ made, it is reasonable to anticipate a similar favour able result in the present instance. It is intended to proceed with the construction of the lines already agreed upon as soon as the necessary materials can be obtained, the company having agreed to open the traffic and have oars runniag within eighteen months from this date. The Directors have placed the management of the tramway portion of the business in the hands of Mr W. S. Totton, of Belfast, , and the immense amount of valuable In formation which that gentleman is said to possess will be of great benefit to the successful carrying of the scheme through the earlier stages of existence. The tramway proposals at present embrace a loop line on caen side of the city. That on the west side commences at i Queen-street Wharf, which is to be the cen- j tral depot of both lines, and proceeding up i Queen-street, turns off at Wellesley-street ! West,thence travels along Hobson and Pitt- j streets into Karangahape Road, along Pon sonby Koad to the "Three Lamps," turning down College Eoad, and returning to the starting point by way of Patteson-street and Customhouse-street West. The eastern loop line turns up Wcllesley-street East, from Queen-street, continuing along ! Symonds-strect and Kyber Pass Koad to Newmarket, stopping at Remuera Road, the return route then being along Manukau- I roadthroHghParnellintotheStrand, thence , along Customhouse-street East und Fort- ' street to th n starting point. It is intended to | have a double line of rails laid along Queen- : street on concrete, withjgranite blocks. This will render the work very permanent in character. The fares will be lower than those at present charged on the omnibus j.cs, and will not exceed threepence for the round trip. We understand that the land previously held has been placed in the new company at the same prices as originally sold to the Remuera,St Helier's and North cote Companies, when amalgamated,vi„ .- ---620 acres, St Helier's Bay £44,000; 117 acres, _.emuera,£ls,ooo; 1012 acres, North, cote £12,000 ; whereas, at the prices now ruling for land of similar position and quality, they should be worth:—St if elief's Bay property, £70,000; Remuera property, £22,000; Northcote property, £24,000. It i 3 stated that the company have bad offers of £150 per acre for several 5-acre lots in the St. Helier's Bay pro perty. The Remuera land has hitherto sold at £200 and £250 per acre, and it is certainly not less valuable now. Land in close proximity to the Northcote property has changed hands at prices varying from £30 to £100 per acre. It will be seen that the company has a splendid prospect before it. Applications have been receiveor for

[66,000 shares, leaving 60,000 still to be I taken up. Plans of the several estates may be seen, and all other information re-, garding articles pf association, etc., may be obtained on application to the secretaiy, at the Company's office, Shortland-strcet, Auckland. Applications for shares, accom panied by a deposit of two shillings and sixpence per share, will be received' by the membeis of the ..uckland Brokers' Asso ciation, or by the secretary, up to the 21st lay of August, 1882, and shares will be allotted according to priority of application.

SAD AFFAIR AT CAM BRIDGE.

[BY TEIIKCIRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

CAMBRIDGE, this day. A SAD affair has come to light here this morning, and which, ftom all accounts, is likely to tcrminato more sadly for the un fortunate victim. A girl named Sarah Johnson, servant at the Masonic Motel here, was known to have been in a pregnant condition for soma time past, hut denied the fact to her employers and medi cal attendants, saying she was merely suffering from an internal complaiut. Tbe police receiving intelligence this morning that something suspicious had happened, proceeded to a gardon behind the hotel, and after a litle search, discovered the body of a full.grown male child buried beliiud a pigstyc. It appears that tbe unfortunate girl got up in the middle of tho night and went into the garden where she was con liucd. It is not known as yet whether the child was dead born, but this will be proved by medical evidence at the inquest, which takes piacc this afternoon.

THE SULTAN AND AKABI,

June 26th.—The Sultan hascouiurred the Order of Medjidjie of the first class upon Arabi Pasha, aud has also presented the Khedive with a souvenir in diamonds, and conferred upon Solyma Pasha a distinction of high rauk.

The impression caused by the Saltan sending [the Merljidjio decoration to Arabi Bey is very varied. By some Europeans it is considered as a great blunder; by others, including .onto of the official class, it it regarded as indi cating the Sultan's intention to bribe Arab to obey the wishes of Kuropo. Some Arabs also hold this opinion. One prominent Egyptian remarked to Sir Auckland Col vin : " Wo often butter our bread before ea.ing." The Arab Wational party, how ever, regard the decoration as a sign of tho Sultan's approval of Arabi's rebellion, hence it is possible that it may have a bad con sequence.

SUGAR REFINERY.

AT tlte meeting of the Ilatbour Hoard this afternoon, a letter was read from Mr E, Knox, requesting on behalf of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company, which has pur chased tin cxtensivo site at North cote, North Shore, permission lo reclaim a portiou of the foreshore of my laud, situated on the noith shoic of the harbour of Auckland, which is now covered at high water, and to erect a wharf abutting on this reclamation ; both reclamation ana whatf being shewn on tracing appended. The writer said he was desirous of carrying out these works io order that a sugar refinery might bo erected on the point of land between Duck Creek and the harbour. The application was mado in his name, as tho registered owner of the land in question, because the details itt connection with tho formation of the com pany which was to work tho company had not yet been settled. The applicant assed for an immediate answer, as, if they coulil not carry out the plans of the reclamation and wharf now submitted, the land would have to be abandoned, and a more suitable sito for a refinery sought in tho neighbour hood of Auckland or some of the other New Zealandcittes. Ashewasgiventounaerstand that the Harbour Hoard could not allow the fcc-imple of any reclaimed land to pass from their control, he trusted tho Board would, in deciding on the terms of tho lease to be granted, to bear in mind the great cost of the reclamation, and the advantage derivable by Auckland from the establishment of tho new industry there,

JThe chairman said he believed it was the intention of the Conpany to expend £100,000 or £150,000 on machinery, build ings, reclamation, and wharves. He moved that the Board cause the lands in question to be leased by auction for 50 years as a sugar refinery, subject to tho condition that the land be reclaimed and wharf erected within three years,—Mr Mays seconded tho motion.—Mr Thompson thought they were asking the Board to deal too hastily with a very important matter. He moved as an amendment that the matter be referred to the Works Committee, and that facilities be given to the members to visit the site applied for.—Mr Isaacs, who thought the matter too important to be settled at once, seconded, — After some discus-ion, the chairman consented to withdraw his mo tion, and tho amendment, referring the application to the Works Committee, was carried.

THE MELANESIAN MISSION.

ADDRESS BY BISHOP SELWYN,

Bishop Sblwyn, of Melanesia, delivered an address on the Melaaesian Mission at St. Sepulchre's, at eleven o'clock this morn ing. There was a largo attendance, com posed principally of ladies and children. After religious exercises, His Lordship made a few remarks concerning the Gospel for the day, and then proceeded to give an account of the progress made in the Mission, At the Island of Florida, where the Rev. Mr Penny labours, the work had received a severe blow from the retribution inflicted by the man-of-war for the massacre there. When the Bishop arrived at the island he found the people had run away inland, and all work was at an etid. The first thing the missionaries did was to find who were actually concerned in the murder, and it was then explained what tho man-of-war wanted. Having got the people to under stand, they commenced to build up what had been destroyed, and in six weeks they had the church finished, and the people gathered to together, Jn former days the natives had lived in small scattered hamlets, but in consequence of the destruc tion ot their villages, they gravitate to the Christian villatre—the only one left standing—and what was formerly a very small place, now contained a large popula tion. And so out of evil has come good. He ha. found the people in a state of great doubt, and in assuring them, an opportun ity of making the words go straight home to their hearts was afforded, which did more good than talking to them in the or dinary manner. The action of the man-o' war, in sparing the church and school, had done an incalculable amount of good, and he had been able to explain to the natives that the "mark of peace" bad saved them. At one village, superin tended by a native teaoher, he had found a great spirit of enquiry. The native, Sam, came to him and, sittiog in the moon light, would question him. They would then go to Alfred (the native teacher) apd question him also, He bad been very much struck with the fact that evil was a great stumbling block unless removed immedi ately, and the visit of the vessel had af forded a lesson regarding the power of example. He had been on the island a year, and suffice it to say that they had got the people back in greater numbers than previ ously, and when he left they had three or four schools under wei^h. As illus trating the progress of Christian-'y and civilisation, be related that at one of the islands, on the death of the wife of a Christian chief, some of tho natives wished to kill some one in her hon our. He spoke to the people, and Lamson (the Christian chief) also spoke, and tho danger was over. At the island where that circumstance occured, he had stayed six weeks attending three services every Sun day. At Santa Cruiz there was not much doing, though the leaders had been within a mile of -where Commodore Goodenough was killed. At Baxter's Wand the work had been retarded by sickness.and by agreat 1 hurricane, which had resulted in great loss. He alluded feelingly to the loss sustained by the mission through the death ot two of tho wives of the native teachers, one of whom, he said, was genial, kind, and a perfect lady, and these women had done much to raise their sisters. In concluding, the Bishop spoke hopefully of the progress made at the training school at Norfolk t Island., At this termination of the ad i .dress, a collection in aid of the mission was taken up.

DUNEDIN, this day,

The Royal Commissioners' report on the management of the Benevolent Asylum disproves nearly all the charges made. The Commissioners conclude by expressing a high sense of the present management, and the excellence of the arrangements.

We are gladto be able to inform our readers that owing to the representations made by Mr Peacock,the Government have decided to connect the Hospital, Goal, and Lunatic Asylum with the Auckland Tele phone Exchange. This will prove a great boon to the subscribers to the Exchange and to the public generally. The usefulness of the Te'ephone Exchange would reach its acme, if the authorities would establish an office in a central part of the city, say at the police station, so that persons not sub scribers to the Exchange could, when they desired, communicate speedily with the gaol and our eloemosytiary institutions.
