PARLIAMENTARY.

WELLINGTON, this morning. THE EDUCATION BILL.

The debate on Mr Pyke's annually intro. duced Bill, legislating denoraiuational aid, occupied the evening's sitting, and wan very animated, At first the opponents of the Bill were inclined to allow its sup porters to do all the talking, and, at the end of each speech, cries or " Question " wero raised, but members in favour of the Bill, showing a determination to continue the disoußilou, the opponents considered it necessary to say something, and the debate on both aides to a« very well sustained; but the spoech qf the evening, as usual :on- theie occasions, was that by Mr Sheehau, who came in Hurriedly, in the middle of the debate (haVirig apparently bean sent for), and proceeded to fito a broadside into the Act and its supporters with visible effect on the •House. He accused some'of' the supporters of helping this Bill along aa a step to the BiMe-in-Scliools, a charge which was acknowledged by Mr Stewart, • vino had made a vigorous sp.aech la uvour of the Bill. Mr Hheehan then got otf a very successful sally at the expense of Major Atkinson giving a description of himself aa " Modified Densmi natUnalist," lie understood, ha »aid, what a denommationalist meant, and supposed that the modification was wrought upon the Treasurer's mind by the pressure of a large section at hia consti tuents. A general roar of laughttr showed that the sally was appreciated. The argu ments were "a repetition of those which have been used year by year, so much so that Mr Joyce took back a number of " Hansard," and read his speech from it, stating that he could not add anything to. what he said then. Mr Fulton gave an Intimation that a strong effort would be made to secure the introduction of the Bible in schools, though he would oppose the Bill bofore the Hou.e. Mr Shrimski, who is the only Hebrew in tho House, rose and Baid that if the denominational system was ob jectionabletoonesection,tb.eßibleinschepls would be equally obnoxioustoanothev. Every one had been pained by the persecu tion which a section of God's people were suffering in Europe. He believed this persecution arose through such religious differences as would bo cultivated by that BUI. Let all classes of people mset on one common ground, 'ihebaly Minister* who spoke en the subject were the Hon. Mesira Johnston and Rtlleston. Tho Hon. Mr Johnston »p»ke as a Catholic. He said the Catholics here spent £69,000 in the pur chase of schoel building?, and had educated S.SOOiChildren. They formed one-seventh of tho population and were entitled to a sharo of the largo fands spent ■ ott' educa tion.' . The Hen. Mr Kollcston eaid the question ;.yras not a party one, and though differing from Mr Johisfcon, there, was nothing to pfeytnt him from sitting ou the same benches. The elections" had show'ii that the'people looked upon the question as settled, and no Government could consent to an alteration of the Act without an appeal to the country, ■-■-> ■•:■•■ Sir George Grey Made a most forcible and humorous spec eh against the Bill, which told with the House, and was loudly applauded. No other Auckland member spoke ou the subject, and when Mr Levestam proposed t« move the adjournment at midnight, cries of "Qaestion" and "Divide" shewed the anxiety of the Honse to get rid of the-Bill from tho order paper. The Hon. MrDICK, Minister of Education, thought that before a division was taken, it was »ight he should make known hia views on the subject, and passed a high eulogium on the present Education Act, and declared bis belief that the enactment of Mr Pyke's Bill would' destroy the edu cational standard, especially in country districts. The Government wished to make public common schools a steppiog-gtoue to the higher educational institutions, and for that purpose Government intended to sup port the establishment ot a uuiyersity at Auckland. His colleague, the Minister for Lands, had declared that the Government would not take any step 'to alter the Act; and though he hoped some day to see alteration made in the Act so as to permit reading the Bible—(No !No I)—he -would, as Minister of Education, faithfully ad minister the Act as it stands. When the Hod. Mr. Dick sat down,Mr Sheehan pro duced a petition praying for tne Bible in schools, which bore the Hod. Mr Dick's name among the signatures.—Mr Moth, of Buller, here made another attempt to get the adjournment of the clobate carried; bat on a division being called, the adjournment was negatived, by 63 against 14. Mr Pr ke then replied, and on the division being taken the Bill was rejected by 47 against 26, showing that the denominationalists are less numer ous in the present Parliament,thin., in tho ]asr*j h. result doubtless due to the steady Increase of the popularity of the existing Education Act. Sir (iiOROK GRKY/was of opinion that tho Bill should be unanimously rejected by the House. The reason he con sidered absolutely fatal to it, was that the State said it would not foster any form of religious teaching. He proceeded to quote the,peculiar, religions.oi America—Mor mbn'iam.'Free Lo*e, and other delusions,* each of which yfould be entitled to claim ; and und,er that Bill were we, he asked, to foster every form of religious error and of religions vice ? Alluding to Mr Pyke's opening speech, he charged him with mak- Jng, black' appear white, but doing it so skilfully and so beautifully that it was difficnlt to say which was black and which was white. The position the State had taken up was, it would teach only all what is necessary for the secular life of the child, and not trench upon religious error, leaving the parents to mould the minis of their phildren. Jf a Bill were required to futher the interests of the Roman Catholic Church, let it be said 80 distinctly, and not put on the false pre tence «f giving liberty in educational matters to all.' ' ' Xhaonly Auckland member who voted for*Mr Pyke'a Denominational Bill, was Mr McDonald, of East Coast. ' "Mr Tolo went ana recorded his vote against it, . ■■-■■■• - Mr Sheehan 8 Speed},. X . Mr SHEIHA.N said the system of educa tion muiit'be one that recognised no classes, and he hoped that our State schools wonW simply be stepping stones to the highest educational institutions in the colony. He was a Catholie-(laughter)-and he .fas proud of his religion. Every man who had been in the colony tar forty years, must know that the Catholic priests had been the best friends of education. He for one stiod for a seat where his election almost tuned on the vote of his Catholic» lnend* and he had stated plainly that he would rather lose his seat than vote or an altera. tion in the Act. which would tend to make education anything but free, secular and compulsory. If the Act were altered it would simply mean that the Bible would be introduced into the State schools, -while the Catholic schools would remain as they were at present. He had been told that the Hon. the Colonial Secretary wished to have the Bible read in the schools, but he waa glad to hear him S ay the other day that the present Act would not be altered. The Colonial Treasurer was what was called a Modiited Denominationalist" : that was to say, he had those in his ranks who believed in de ; cominational education, and he modified himself so as not to lose their votes. (Laughter). He had risked his seat in the House and his success as a public man m this question, and he was prepared to stand by the course h« had taken. (Hear hear), The aim of the State should be to maintain one common platform, where everyotiej children could come and be taught the samt things at the same expense, lhe clergj appeared to him ,to want to force on th< teachers of the colony that work which the 5 were themselves paid to do. School Committees.-C'tcmulativt Voting. Mr Steward, of Waimate, convened t meeting of those favourable to the abolitior of cumulative voting at school committe, elections. He submitted the Bill showing the improved method of electing the com mittees, requiring nomination of com nritteernen to be- sent 'intcr'the-chair rain 'beforehand, and published prio to the • meeting; The Bill was dift Cussed at' considerable length, ano various alterations were made at the sug eestion of different members. Thosa presen were Messrs Steward, Daniells, Shnmski Duncan, O'Callaghan, Thompson, .Pestle thwaite, Barron, Joyce, Feldwick, and M, Green. The Bill refers to the mode oi election, and that one. Mrßryce questions whether Wi Parata the petitioner in tho case of Te Whitl has his authority. What authority he hai is verbal, but he retained Mr btout bj wire when the venue was shitted.

Shipping Returns. ..Import, export, and shipping returns, for 1881, show the value of imports to be £7,467,045 ; duty paid thereon, £1,421,600 ; Vfilue of exports, £6,069,866; amount of

The number of vessels entered inwards for the same period from ports outside New Zealand were as follows :—Auckland, 218 ; New Plymouth, 1; Wellington, 93; Napier, 17; Nelson, 13; Weatport, 4; Greymoutb, 14; Hokitika, 10 ; Lytteltou, 132; Tiraaru, 24; Oamaru, 14 j Dunedin, 135; Bluff, 67 ; other ports, 24 : total, 765; total tonnage, 395,675. Entered outward?, 762 vessels ; total tonnage, 413,487. The total duties and revenues collected by tbe Customs Departmett during the year 1881 . was £1,585,049. %he Lotteries Bill. Mr McDonald's Bill contain* one clause, Which is as follows: "The Gaming and Lotteries Act is hereby repealed." McLean's Murderer. The Government have forwarded to New Plymouth the improved apparatus for ' hanging Hiroki, ! MeLe»n'a murderer, which is said to do the business with re markable effectiveness and despatch. Mr Keadi the Governor of the Wellington giiol, lias gooe to supervise the operation. Private letters received_ here from Alex andra say the King .Natives are carefully watching Te Wetero's action at the Mokau Lands Court, and if these lands are put through it is probable that others will press for similar treatment of their lands. A pamphlet has been issued by the Go vernment, giving all the amendments that have been mad« to the Constitution Act. Why the Seat of Government Should Remain in Wellington. Business is said to be better and steadier in Wellington now than for some time previously, bat its growth is evidently stagnant. la frequsut excurtious about the city and suburbs I have only seen two new houses, while many of the rows of match boxes ran up during the land speculating mania are. tenantleaa. One can easily understand that popula tion will : not advance faster in Wellington, thsm the business. The almost ya,tdless , dwellings crowded together on the limited, bill and. encircled iUt would be unwholesome and unattrac tive enough,if the evils of overcrowding were mitigated by any system of drainage, but there is no attempt at drainage, and every corner h«s its own particular stench. When one member complained of this pecu liarity, Mr Pyke said his hon. friend was very hard to please, because he had an un limited choice of smells, and if one did not suit him he could try another. The unat* tractiyeness of Wellington as a place ot re sidence, which was urged so much by some Southern : .members as a reason for shifting,, the seat of Government to Chriatchurch .appears <to me one of the strongest ; masons, for' retaining it here. After the member,a have been im prisoned' here, three:months, they become desperate, and buckle to work vyith a ven geaoce,>m order to get b*ok hqme. , While here also they h>v;e;notbiDg to, divert their attention froni the business in , hand. If Parliament were held in, Cbristchurcb, members would constantly absent them-. 6qlvo3,.and it,would;often be difficult to keep tl)e .House together. The session would ;probably Jbcr extended, as in Vic toria, to about eight mouths. There is nonr every [kind of. inducement to get through'the business, aud the country still often complains of waste, of time. I have not hc«rdasiugle ; {;ood reason for removing the seat of. Government to Chriatchurch, beyond the, convenience it Would; be to the O,(agp and Canterbury mem bers,,aud,the .unpleasantness of residence iv Wellington. These arguments, aa I have already said, must be looked at in exactly the, opposite, way, in fact, as a Btroug reason why the seat of Government should be kept there.aud if we give them all the weighl claimed for them they are certainly not enough to warrant .the large expendi ture necassary.to make the chause. :,.': -Corporal Punishment. Mr Weston intends' brihgiug in. a Bill for the ex:tensidn of Corporal Punjshnient not only to wife beating, but also to all classes of aggravated assault andMamkin isiii. . : : ■Street tramways, <Pc. The tr«mw»ya here work wdl.but will never pay lair.interest oaths capital absorbed in ttje.outset.in promoters' fees. Horses have been; substituted lor tho steam engine, in day time, bat the engine is frequently em ployed at night.1 The great water supply scheme, to bring water fifUen miles, by gravitation, is being pushed oo rapidly, and will be completed in niuo months, at a cost ot £18,000. It will give Wellington a splendid supply, having an enormous pres sure for extinction of fires. : Fire Brigades Bill. Mr Levestam's Fire Brigade Bill makes the duty of extinguishing fires devolve on City, Municipal and : Btrongh Councils. Such Councils shall maintain a force of firemen or agree with a Volunteer lorcefor extinguishing fires, and pay such aid out of funds belonging t» the city. The Council has power by rates,. not exceeding one penny ' in" the pound, to be made, and collected with the general, rate, to provide engines, plant and material, to be the properly of the Council. Fire Inspectors are ap pointed by ,the Corporation or the Board, and in case of fire they may take any measures they may think best for the pro tection of defined property. All damage to property caused by any Fire Inspector, or any person acting under his orders, in the due execution of their duties under the Act, shall be deemed to be damaged by fire within the moaning of any policy of in surance against fire, anything in such policy of insurance to the contrary notwithstand ing. Fire Police and Salvage Corps are to bB sworn in, and hare all the power and authority of constables. Ministerial Reticence.. An incident in connection with affairs on the West Coast, -which evidently re quires) some explanation, and which ex planation will probably be forthcoming to morrow, occurred yesterday afternoon. Mr Seymour George asked Mr Bryce whether he had beard that the natives had recom menced their illegal fencing. Mr Bryce's reply was that he held ia his h«nd a teUgram received by him from Cel. Roberts within the Ust half-hour, aad that in ii no reference was made to fencing having recommenced $o-day. Mr Bryce alio privately challenged Mr George as to the eource of his information, more than hinting that there must have been some leakage from the Telegraph Department. Mr George assured Mrßrjce that his (jaesv tion was put at the request of a gentleman who, in his note to him (George) said he had seen a letter from a resident at Normanby ' stating that such was the case. ' Mr Bryce demanded to see the letter, but Mr George declined to show it until he had oommunicattd with the writer. This he did to-day, and received full permission to produce the letter in the House. It was thought that this would have been done this afternoori, but at Mr Bryce's request the matter has been postponed until to morrow. Having snen the note addressed to Mr George, requesting him to put the question, and also the letter from the Nor manby resident upon which that note was based, I am in a position to Btat* posi tively that Mr Bryce's assumption that there had been " leakage " in the Telegraph Department ia wholly without foundation. The question naturally arises, why should he suspect leakage if there was nothing of the.description indicated to leak out? Corrupt Practices Bill. Mr Atkinson's Corrupt Practices Amend ment Bill reduces the penalty,' and gives Judges the opti«n of making the disabili ties at present in operation for corrupt for any, period less than, three years. ; •-; . < ■ ': i; ■' ■ ■ • ' More Petitions. Sir George- Grey presented to-day two petitions from Mr K. J. Keltus on hia usual subject j also one from Garrard, the unemployed champion, complaining _of wrongful imprisonment in the action brought against' him by the Auckland Re turning Officer during the last election. The fatter .petition required considerable doctoring to bring ii within the rules of the Souse. Although the»e is a general feeling that, on constitutional grounds, the Attorney- General should be in the Lower House, any motion to that effect, passed by Sir George Grey, would necessarily be' regarded as a vote of want of confidence, aud would be defeated in the present state of the House. The -position of Solicitor-General, as a non^political office, will also, probably, come under review. . j, Mr Whitaker's Affirmation in Lieu o Oaths Bill ia an improvement on tho Bills ol last session. Those we" direetod aoWy fa Parliamentary oaths, but Whitalcer s Hill gives the alterative of affirmation in ever j case where an oath may be used .The B1 declaresthat where a spec.fie form^oE oatr has been prescribed ( by. any law or e»et ment the words "sincerely and truly affirm and declare" shall be snb stitnted for the word •'swear,'and omit ting the'words"So help me, God.

BILLS INTRODUCED,

The following Bills wore introduced and read a first time :—The Central Otago Gold fields Roaerves (Mr DeLautour), to Amend the Public' Offenders Disqualification Act, 1876 (Mr Lev'estam), North Timaru Ceme tery Sale (Mr Tumbull.Jj Harbour Board Bill. -Mr Swarson, in moving the second reading of tile Harbour Board Empowering Bill, made-a few remarks. He explained that* the Board waa in a good financial position, tbat the works were of a necessary character, and that when completed thoy would be found to be of a reproductive character. Mr ToiiE seconded the motion without comment, and there being no opposition, the motion was carried, and the Bill ordered to be committed for next Wednesday. MOTIONS ADOPTBD, Tho following motions were adopted:— Mr Shephp&d : A return showing for each borough and county the expense iu curred in the election of Licensing Com mittees. Mr Siiipherd: A return showing for I each borough and county the expense in curred iv taking the Local Option vote under the Licensing Act. Mr O'CA-LAohan: For a roturn of revenue, expenditure, number of pupils, and other particulars relating to the Agri cultural Callege in Canterbury, fyke's education act. Mr Pyke moved the second reading of the Education Act Amendment Bill. He said the welfare of the next generation was bound up with the meaiure, and it would be a national calamity if the measure were not adopted. He had no deaire to disturb the existing sjstem, but to add to that sjatem. Ho simply asked that other than public schools ahould receive assistance, provided they contormed to certain pro visions provided for by the Aot in existence, such as qualification of teachers, standards, inspection, etc. Aa regarded matters of religion, the Bill was liberal enough to meet the views of all claaaos of tho community. He dwelt at some length on the importance of a diver sity of systems of education being provided for the development of tho intellectual faculties. The consequence of educating all children under a particular standard was calculated to thwart that diversity of character upon which so much of tho great ness of our nation depended. At present there was one-fifth of the number of chil dren attending school in the colony receiv ing education at other than public schools, They were doing a wrong in causing re.i. gioua reading to be excluded from the schools, and also iv excluding the Word of God. He could not justify such a state of things to himself. He would be told that religion should be taught at the fireside, but he reminded them that in a new coun try like, this they were all straggling to make for themselves a home, add that after their day's struggle they were not in a proper frame of mind to go homo and teach their children religious traths. They were told that this was an age of toleration. . ftow, he asked where was their' toleration Z 1 hey said to tfte minority, " You shall contribute to the educational system in operation, no matter how. strong your conscientious ob» jections may be." He asked for fair play for that minority, and, in committee, he would be'ready to accept any reasonable modification whioh might be thought ex pedient, ..- I ■ ' i * »*■_ n» n .A» ___~_J3_3 TT_ X1.~..-1.1. .1..

Mr E|ODSON seconded, He thought the concession asked for was only reasonable. With Catholics this waa a auestien ofxoa science, and he thought they wore as much bound to respect the consciences efthatclass aa they were to consult th»ir own, despite all that had beensaidinfavpurof the present system. Speaking of the place where he came from, he knew it was not a success. In the achaol at Blenheim he saw a whole host of perfeot babjes, and when he in quired about their ages he was told that their parents bad stated that they were over five years of age. Each of these young thiags cost as much as children capable of receiving proper education. He complained that the school committees were lax, apd partial in the discharge of their duty, The result of that in one caae he knew of was that an objectionable teacher was kept in office for a period of two years, many children being kept away in conse quence of their teacher's irregularities. He also instanced the case of a Catholic school where the teachers laboured day after day without aid, aud he honoured them for it. He considered it Was not only right but their duty to give these schools a fair share of assistance.

Messrs Barron, Butherford, O'Callaghan, Daniels, Brabken, Johnson, Stewart, Dun can, Joyce, M. W. Green, and other members spoke in favour, and Messrs' J. Evans Brown, Weston, Sheehan, Sariwski, Eetrie, Kolleston, Sir 6; Grey, and others against the Bill, when Mr Monro moved the adjournment of the debate -Ayes, 10'; noes; 64. ' Mr Pyk_ replied, and the House divided on the motion for the second reading—Ayes, 26 ; noes; 47. •■•" ' '' The Bill was ordered to be read tltis day six months, '

The " Church Gazette" for June contains the average quantity of news and other items of interest to churchmen, especially the letter of Bishop Selwyn addressed to Bishop Cowie, descriptive of his Christmas at Gaeta', and- Christmas tree and magic lantern entertainment which had a pleasing effect upon the natives. Tlie Bishop's let ter touches hopefully upou Christian work, and [pleasantly upon the superstitions of the people of Kavnna. Mr'Neil Heath offers a laudatory criticism on the Children's Hymnal.'and expresses an opinion that a large number 6f the hymns are coiiched in language of exquisite beauty and tenderness, and in numerous instanced *hey are wedded to melodies of the must charming and enduring character. The Key. Edward J.Phillips contributes passages from his journal of travel and talk through country settlements. Similar extracts are given from the " Bemembrancer" of the Rev. Frank Gould. Notes.on the church in Victoria are continued. An article by " Nemo" on the " Religions Census of the Stak," with some useful suggestions on promoting 'church attendance ; Bey. J. Vaughan's paper en ' Children's Services; notices ofbooks, Sunday-school lessons.and a string of extracts, add to the value of this | useful monthly serial.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THK annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held this afternoon, there being present: Messrs C. C. McMillan (Chairman), T. Macffarlane, J. C, Firth, F. Larkins, J. M. Clark, G. P. Pierce, W. Buchanan, — Oppenheimer, R. H. Steven son, G. Aickin, G. Harper, J, Held, W. R. Waddell, J. Milne, W. Lodder, J. Way moutb, Theo. Cooper, and Dr Campbell. ' ANNUAL KKPOkT.—The firat buainess was the reading of the annual report, wnich was simply a statement of the mat ters in regard to wnich the Chamber had taken action during the year. As all the meetings at whioh these subjects were dis cussed were folly reported at tho time, there is no necessity for giving the report, seeing that it was but a bare recital of the year's operations.

ANNUAL ADDRESS. j The Chairman then delivered the annual address. He commenced by congratulating the* Chamber on the continued and increas ing prosperity of Auckland, and then, after au'expression of regret that the date of tbe meeting precluded him from obtaining as full statistical information as he wished, he aaid that he had got suliieient, however, to show that this province had made mate rial progress. Our imports for 1881 amounted t0£1,490,124,a5again5t£1,242,871 for 1880, being au increase of £247,253, while1 our exports were{£Bl3,ll3, aa against £758,271—an Increase of £54,842. The fol lowing table of increases or decreases in the various products was then read :—

i.n Inoroaao. Decrease. Woiuht. Value. Weight. Valuo. Bum .. 14 705 owt ;fi.10,01l _ _ VlaXi .. 1991 tona 1093 - — Copra - - - SlStonß £8150 Wool .. 13.633 lbfl 2t9 - _ Hold .. l„lbza 11.202 - - 'J Unbar.. - 18,496 - - j Resuming hia speech, the chairman adverted to the decrease of £8 450 in copra, and attributed it to the fact of merchants shipping home direct, in consequence of tbe heavy freight charges from this port, He was sorry to see that instead of our coal.mines supplying our own market, the importation of New castle coal was on the increase, Auckland still maintained the premier position in shipping, more vessels passing inwards and outwards here than at any other port In New Zealand, Our new dock would be second to none in the Colo, pies, while with powerful dredges the har bour ought to be kept from silting up. The slow manner in which cargo is dis charged had given u« an unenviable repu tation, but this would be remedied by tho erection of the new sbeds. After reading a table giving the revenue and coat of work ing the railways, the Auckland portion of which showed a slight decrease, Mr Mc- Millan went on tc say that it was a matter for regret tbat the Government did not pay greater attention to our commercial in terests. The excessive taxation that we had to pay was a proof of this. When Sir Julius Vogel took offico, the duties were raised by measurement, equal to about 7 per cent,, and the subsequent Substitution of the «d valorem system brought them up to 11 per cent., but how thoy were as high ns 164 per Cent., the aim of each successive Colonial Trensuror soeming to bo the further increase of these duties. Theae high tariff* had an injurious effect in lessening the volume of trade, imd the consumers felt the weight pf them. Taxation should be equalised, and commerce relieved of her heavy burdens, At present iargejlandownera did not pay anything like their fair propor tion of taxation, and a very good means of remedying this anomalous Btate of things would be the adoption of a sliding scale of so much an acre, commencing at 500 acres, and in creasing with every additional area i>f that'extent. The preatnt mode of raising revenue by ad valorem duties was most objectionable. In the abstract it might bo defended, but in practice t, ( was m really a premium for fraud, Under the system of measurement, ihe. charge waa so much a foot, and so if ligh-ratcd goods weie passed for cheap ;ooda, the opening of the case showed ihe frautf, By the ad valorem systom iowever, false invoices could be iused, one or the Customs and one for the merchants, he result being no protection for the honest trader. Under theae circumstances fraud ivas only detected by the merest accident. The penalty too, in case of conviction, ivas quite inadequate, and should 30 made to embrace imprisonment, the real remedy, he believed, lay in a •cturn to measurement duties, which would lave two good results—the revenue would wt be plundered, and honest men would lot be handicapped againat knaves. Ou ihe subject of railways aud roads, he held lhat in a new country it was the duty ol the Government to provide these. It was jrobablo that from tbe new loan about ;o .be floated a large sum would ire set apart for the Aucklaud taranaki Railway, and if so tbis Chamber ihoiild urge the construction of the line with the least passible delay. In the event )f any native trouble intervening, they ihould inaiat upon the investment of the nonCy until the difficulty was overcome.and permit it to be spent South as in former jimes., . , Next to railways m im- Dortahce was the proper construction of roads, and in 'this matter we had been mamef^liy neglected. After comparing )ur.i> condition in this resptct with that ef the South, the apoaker said that the roads should bo con structed by the Government ont of con solidated revenue, He alao complained of the want of facilities for giving intending jettlera information regarding land open for selection. The sending out from Home of suiUble emigrants waa, in his opinion, mother subject the importance of which could not be over - rated, tinder the Vogel regime we had got received our fair quota of immigrants, md we should see that this was amended in the future, betides insisting that competent agents should bo Bmployed,' who would only send mt the olass of people that were absolutely requited. He had been aorry that a reso lution had been carried at a working men's meeting deprecating Immigration, for it proceeded upoa the fallacy that with an influx of population wages must come lowa. On the contrary, tbe more arrivals there were the greater impetus to trade. He believed thoroughly in nigh wages, for that meant greater power of consumption. Alter expressiug a preference for con certed action among merchants rather tha'h legislative measures for' the repression of Eraudulehf bankruptcy, Mr'McMillan pre licted a bright future for Auckland, He -included' by moving tho adoption oftfto, report. Mr J.M. Clark seconded the adoption of the report. He. said that he was glad to ace from it that the Chamber had been watohful over the interests of this part of New Zealand. In doing tbis, however, he also-felt bound to dissent from many of the Chairman's remarks, and notably'his con demnation of the ad' valorem system ol taxation-upon ordinary goods, Of course it Waa more open to fraud than the system ot measurements, but it was the correct principle, and' had the advantage of being self-adjusting, Another point to which he took exception was the advocacy of tb< imposition of a sliding scale upon land, ai a means of bursting up large estates The time for it might oome, hu it had not yet arrived.' He woulc however, favour _ the taxation of unim proved laud, which' was merely held fo speculative purposes. He approved 'of th remarks regarding immigration' for broade reasons than the chairman used. In hi opinion the working men were not by. an; means short-sighted in apprehending ; reduction of wages from the introductio: of immigrants, . but' he saw that th thing meant the opening up of the Countrj and therefore he favoured it. He woul like to see a new Bankruptcy Act passer] which would offer facilities for realisatior protect the' innocent debtor, and punish tb fraudulerlt'one. " He concluded with a fe' Words of congratulation upon the' progret of Auckland.-

The motion was then put and carried. Election of Officers'.—Dr Campbell Was then elected Chairman, and. Mr L. D. Nathan, Vice-Chairman. ' The following officers were also appointed :—Committee— Messrs J. M. Clark, U. C. McMillfm, Q.

Aickin, T. Morrin, A, Nathan, T^ Peacock, and C. B. Stone, Auditors — Messrs J. Waymouth and X Arthur, Secretary—Mr J. Stodart.

It was agreed to print the Chairman's address, together with Mr Clark's speech. The passing of a vote of thanks to the retiring Chairman brought the proceedings to a close.
