them no claim whatever tor any specn expenditure. I say that, leaving out tl question of' territorial ruvenuo, Auoklani in 18-1-83, contributed more than oni fifth of the whole revenae 'of th colony ia Custom.,'; Stumps, Lan and Property Tax, nnd Boer iaa being the sources from which revenu is derived, exclvaive of territorial revenu* The population ot Auckland amount altogether not to 98,0.0, but to some thing more like 120,000, including th • native population ef the colony. The are of Auckland is seventeen millions of acres which is rather more than a fourth of th area of the whole colony. Now, how do* Auckland stand at present in respect ef rail ways and expeadituro upen them. I Tker are in the whole colony somo 1300 or 140* mile* of railway open for trathc. Out o that Auckland has HO miles only open fo traffic at pretent— about a tents, or a ninth perhaps, more correctly speaking. Thesi 149 miles cast £1,2-0.000. Now let vi comparo thAt withjmy hon. friend's provinci of Canterbury. Canterbury, with mncl less population, with a smaller cim tribntion to tho revenue, apart as 1 said from territorial rovenuo, has 33. miles open for traffic atthe presont moment, as compared with Auckland's 149 miles, Th» cost of these 334 miles was nearly twe millions of money, as compared with £1 250,000 spent in unfortunate Auckland, Or' let us take lHago. The Otago mem. berß, I really believe, aro under the extra ordinary and . unaccountable impression that Aucklaad has been much batter treated than Otngo. In Otajjo, however, thsro aro 473 i~s.es of railways open for 'traffic,'aa compared with 149 miles in Au.klwi," The 473 miles cost £2,307,000. J Sir, I fl-m not going to say much more, but **. I wished to pat the boa., gentleman right, «v aiore e-peei-ii.' km ha is one of tho able • and d~.tJagm~h.ed members ot tn. _,ouso,. V] ghoal'd bo vary _©r» M such an .rroH.ons \ itatoment went forth, uncontradicted. I jfaay Auckland, has a just claim at the ■ rfeg-nt moment for a millioa for .public i wbrfc« expenditure, and iam prepared to go ' iaic the question witli any hon. measber of ■J ffifs House and prove it at any Umo. I do i n»t say thfit the North Island has a claim, f bvi Auckland, has a claim again.t ;the I colony, in order to place her on an equal footing with tho rest of tho colony, of not less than a million. Let us, for one other instance, toko Wellington, Taranaki, and1 Hawke'a Bay. The population of these three Provincial Districts together is con eiderably less than that of Auckland ; their total area is lo«s; their contribution to revenue, put together, is less than that i of Auckland [ aad yet, what do we find in ! these parts of the North Island? Why, thafrthere are 307 miles of lino open in this ' southern half of the North I-land, I aa'compared with 149 in the Provincial Dis. . trict of Auckland, and these 307 miles cost 1 the colony £3,423,000, as compared with I £1,250,000 spent in Auckland. Sir, although there ia no part ot the colony which has a greater claim than the part to whioh I belong, yet I feel loth to further Urge h«r claims at present in this House. Other opportunities will arise, no doubt, for doing that. I honour this Government for their attempt to do Auckland jus . tico in the matter of this tine • Million Loan, if they are really sincere in the Matter ; and although my party obliga tions c-mpelled mo to vote again, t them the ether night, it was a severe straiu on those obligations, and I say now I thank the Government for acting as thoy have done, assuming that they are sincere. I trust we shall have no mere of the provincial reeriminations-at all events so far a> the aufortunate part of tha colony I come from is concerned, because we havo been sufli eiently cruoUy and and unjustly treated in tbe past. I havo already voted for the second reading of the One Million Loan Bill, and I shall do the same on this occa sion.

Mr Bracken a«ked the Government if now that immigration to the colony is, about to be resumed, they do .not think it advisablo to provide a system of Labour Registration in cities and country towns. for the mutual convenience of employers and those who require employment. Mr Eolleston thought that such a system: would be advantageous, and would njbyoin. the matter.

Roads Kind Bridges.

The Government Koads and Bridges Construction Bill has just been circulated.; During the financial year ending Ist April, £100 000 will be taken out of the Public Works Account, to be called " Main Roads; Account," and the aame amount yearly out «f tbe Consolidated Funds from the sale of land for the flame purpose transferred to ifcbc same account, any balance from land fund remaining after paying wflri-iag expenses of the Department to be feransferred to the Public Works Fund. If Surplus Land Fund does not reach a sufficient amount, the deficiency to form a first charge on the amount directed to, he transferred to the Main Roads Account for tha oneaißg year. The Minister, by oetice, may declare main roads, but the H.-_e has to approve of the aame being made M main roads, .County Councils;, to have like power over main roads as over country roads.

YOUNG WOMEN'S INSTITUTE

(To the R litor.) | Sir,—At a meeting held this afternoon, of tho committee appointed to inquire into the arrangements for carrying on the Young Women's Institute, we were appointed a sub-committee to hold a meeting of ladies at the Institute [on Thursday afternoon. : An advertisement in your columns requests ' ladies to meet us there; but no advertise- ' ment, and hardly any words, can express : the intensity of onr desire that the j ladies of Auckland should realise how the futmc of the Institute depends, almostl entirely, on their present action. We . earnestly entreat every woman {who has 1 the welfare of young women at heart, to , meet us at that time, and see if we cannot i devise some scheme to save ourselves from the shame of letting the luitituto fall to ' the ground.—We are, &c, i J. A. JODD, J. S. S. SINCLiIK. August 22nd, 1882.

To the Editor.)

;, Sir,—As on effort is being made to gal i, vanisa this institution into life, will you 0 allow me^ as an ardent wall-wisber of tho _ Home, to* make a lew suggestions as to , past failure and future success. In the first place, what is required. ami - what has boen done or attempted to be i dou«? Tha requirements seem to be—(l) r A homo ready to hand for triendle*s girls , tirrivrtftg in the colony. (2) A home for r fri.---.-idi--.-.s girls in .situations in the city. i (:•; n. hv.ao for servants of guaranteed . ...j-•-..'.'.bility when unavoidably out ot t- pi.... . , .. bat Sua been attempted may have bees j tli->j<- t-tiB2S, or o«teT~Sbiy bo, but what has 1 .COi.i,M—J_»- «.»v~.„~a » 0 n „»,i,.Jt v . f„lßi num. i bet... ova awl two, but to have utterly faiico ) i iiu jfßta>li.i threo; whilst two works of i j cotapli-.;. * supererogation have been carried J on, uitiicl,., providing a homo for girls ~-ko j have Lieu-la within easy distance with t whiwtt thjy hot only would, but '-tight to " Aye; and, >rovidiag a restaurant for ctniers _ and goers, which in not only .unnccea- s s»ry, out also an unfair pro- ' ceeding to those who keep respectable * establishmonts of the kind ; the difference t of prices at tho two places, although small J in each individual case, yet meaning a on- j: siderable loss to restaurant-keepers, to tho _ Institute, and tn the Bubscribsrs all round, t Mow tor failure or success. The failure of J the past has eventuated iv a twofold way __ —by o, cau'O without and by causes within, d The cause without has boen the lukewarm- J ness of the public, and this has been J brought about by the causes within, i, which are these: in the manage- J ment, a want of definition of pur- J; pose and responsibility;' no comraitteo i —or if one, that oneauubhed and ignored, i > o outsider permitted to interfere except to * provide funds, about which no further - question must be asked ; ah appeal to tho public for money to carry out a charitable object, bnt tho repudiation pf auoh money being taken as a charitable contribution. Causes within have been mainly the "fine ladyism" of the inmates and the supercilious bearing of some ( of them towards certain of their (supposed) j loss-favoured sisters. "Miss S and I," was the remark of one of them who bad P no business there at all, to one who was _ most properly an inmate, " are the only \ two ladies in the Home." For servants, however respectable and well-cenducted, it has been no place. If success is to bo ac- v quired, these faults must be remedied, fublic assistance must be procured, bnt . tben it mast he a public institu tion, publicly managed. No debt 9 - contracted by irresponsible persons and , payment begged whilst statements ot cause aro strenuously withheld. Whilst there should be a competent rpatren, there should be a Ladies' Committee, which should bs - a reality, net half a clique and the rest dummies. There should be, too, a board of gentlemen—in shsrt, no better model, 1 perhaps, could bs taken than tbe Parnell ( Orphans' Homa. Tho institution mutt, _ again, be undenominational, not a nursery for the propagation of any cramped and r miserable " ism " ; such a place ia not a re- _ ligious-training college j it is merely _ a Home where there shall be the certainty ef a he*lthy moral inllucuca, tog«ther with the kindly shelter of Hon* I Abote everything, cliqueiam, such as has . been the rnliog spirit of tho past (and , ipparently .of the present, to jndgo from , the little report and the advertisement . appearing sfcqiultajicouely with it this . morning), must bis rendered impossible. Cliqueism, in every shape and form, and , in every department, has been tbe bane of the past; let it not be either the stumb- | ling blsck .of the present, or the cause of k death in the future.—l ani, Sec,

FIRE NEAR PAPAKURA.

Suspected incefitfiarlsn},

On Saturday week last tbo house of Mr Neillie, near Papakura, was burned tp the ground during the absence of the Inmates. As the dwelling was not insured the total loss to Npillie is £200, The fire was first observed by a map working in the vicinity who reports that he heard tw- slight explo Bions, caused probably by the ignition of somo powd'-r stored in the house, Aftir tbe fire tho footmarks of a man and a boy wero observed in the vicinity, and tho ..eillies su.pect a neighbour with whom they.hud a quarrel of being tbe perpetrator ot the outrage,

THE SCHOONER WAIWERA ASHORE.

Mr J. Cjbaio received a telegram from Giiborne this morning, stating that the sohooner Waiwera, which left this port recently laden with Newcastle coal, has gone ashore on the outer bar, nod that sho Is badly damaged. The Waiwera is a schooner of 42 tons register, built at Wai wera, Now Zealand, in 1875, and is at present owned by Messrs D. Goldle and G, W. Owen and Company, of Auckland. Sho has principally been engaged in the trade between Norfolk Island and this port, but at present is under charter to Mr J. Craig, ha-ing on board a cargo of New castle coal consigned to Mr Luke of Gisborne.' Tho'cargo is uninsured, but a policy of £400 ou the vessel is held in tho South British.
