the market place, the leases of which were falling out. A Town Hall would not add to the value of business places. Councillors should not entertain tho idoa that tho lay ing out of a lot of money added to the value of city property, for nothing increases the population like other business places. He thought the angle at the junction of Grey and Upper Queen-streets should be kept open; there were too few vacant spaces in our city. If they merely required a Town Hall and city offices, he would agree to have shops underneath, but they would probably require further accommoda tion for a free public library. He would not like to sec any shops in the same block. Or. Fleming said no arguments had been used in tavour of Wcllcsley-strect site. There were arguments used, if only two, which vrero, ho con sidered, sufficient—viz., size and cost— very large items. Notwithstanding its awkward angular shape, a very suitable and handsome building could be made to occupy it to advantage. The ameudment as it stood committed the Council to the laying out of a large sum of money, while he had no idea from what source it vraa to come, it was suggested to take it from the Borough funds. The balanca in hand on the 31st March- was £6,338, or taking the surplus accruing during the year available, £3231. This would not go far; besides, there were othor works pressing close upon it. The borough fund would uot stand such a drag, and if tho junction sito was chosen it meant a fresh loan or the curtailing of the build. ing. He would rather the whole question Were put before the ratepayers before the Council took action. Should the ratepayers decide the junction site was tho best, tho Council could then consider the best way to carry out the matter. He was compelled to vote against tko amendment, Cr. Thompson was sorry tho Mayor had not suggested tho latter course at the out set, lie considered it unwise to build shops underneath the Town Hall, for the fact of having a hall over shops would add to the fire risk ot the former. He did not dread the result of a poll, believing that they would havo a majority for the junction, site. Tne amendmenut of Cr. Goldie was then put and carried., the result being : Ayes— Crs. Goldie, Fleming, Hemus, Montague, Thompson, and Phillipps. Noes—The Mayor, Cra. Crowtber and Waddel.

Cr. Waddel then moved—" That a poll of the ratepayers be taken re Town Hall site; also, that the Council may raise money for tho purchase of the ground if the poll should be in favour of tbe Junction (Army and Navy) site." Cr. Goldie said a great deal could be made of borrowing. It was simply absurd to go to tho House to borrow £B,OOJ, while they could get an overdraft from the bank. He objected to the wording of the motion ; it gave the ratepayers to understand they ■would require something large. Tho Mayor pointed out that the motion could be placed more in detail when it came before the Council.

Cr. Thompson thought it better simply to ask the ratepayers to vote, placing the whole matter clearly before them. There were soveral matters they ought to know. They required the value of the hotel and "property adjoining the junction site, while another aspect might be presented, that if money were borrowed to build on that land, a great income would be derivable from the Wellesley-streetjsite. If let for 50 years a valuable block ot buildings would probably, in time, fall into the hands of the ciiy. There was no doubt that the pro sont form of the motion would prevent the ratepayers from voting for the very site they would otherwise choose,

Cr. Waddel declined to accept cf -any alteration, and the question was put, resulting :—Kor, 4; against, 5. Cr. Thompson moved as a further amend ment, " That a poll of the ratepayers be taken, but, previous to the poll being taken, that the Council shall be recommended to appoint a sub-committee to draw up a fair statement of the cost of the land and build ings, &c, of the site in Wellesley-street and the site in Grey-street; such sub-committee to bo empoweredi'to employ a valuer to assist them."

This was also put and negatived, 4 in favour and 5 against. Cr. Goldie moved, "That the words 'buildings, &<•,,' be omitted," but after some little discussion, withdrew it. The original resolution of Cr. Waddel was then put and carried as follows: " Tbat a poll of the ratepayers be taken ro Town Hall site; also, that the Council may raise money for the purchase of the ground if the poll should be in tavour of the Junction (Army and Navj) site," Ihe Council then proceeded to the dis cussion of other matter, tbe question of ex tending the city boundaties being post poned foi discussion at next meeting. In the meantime steps will be. taken to obtain all possible information ai to the particular action taken by the different suburbs of Xurangahnpe, Ponsonby, and Grafton.

Colonial Liability. The following are the liabilities of the colony outstanding on 31st March, ISB2 :— Consolidated fund, £189,583 ; Government Insurance Account, £1,500 ; Public Works l'tind, £880,270. Total, £1,071,399. AUttresa-in-Meply. The debate on the Address-in-Keply was continued, but was marked by great dul ness. Mr Green (pastor of the Christian Brethren's Church, Sunedin) spoke for nearly two hours, and succeeded in proving himself the most unmitigated egotist that has over entered the House. Mr Hnrsthouae, in his sarcastic allusions to Mr Green's speech, was very happy, and elicited roars of laughter. Mr Hursthouse is rapidly es tablishing himself as one of the most pun gent and ready debaters in tho House. Tho committee to carry the Address to His Excellency was constituted, and so the first looked-for struggle ended, without even a division Destruction of Small Birds. The Bill introduced by Mr Steward (with the support of the Government) to suppress the small bird nuisance, is framed on the basis of a Bill introduced by Mr Saundcrs last session, to give power to county coun cils and town district boards to appropriate sums for the destruction of small birds injurious to crop?, out of ordinary mtes; and if requested by a peti tion of one-third of tho ratepayers, to levy a special rate for such purpose of three half-pence in any riding, ridings, or portion thereof, over the district affected; or over the whole county or borough, of a half-penny; and over town districts of not exceeding one penny. Letter from JReioi to Sir George Grey. fair George Grey has received the follow ing letter from Kewi, and .has laid it before the House of .Representatives :— Whatiwhatihoo, Alexandra, 15th May, 1882.—T0 Sir George Grey, Greeting?.— < m the 13th day of this month Tawhaio ni;«ie known his opinions to tbe meeting at Whatiwhatihoe. You may have seen his speeches in tbe newspapers. He spoke with reference to the bringing of Parliament to Auckland, so that wo might be able to join io. 1 suppose this because it is similar to what I proposed when I went to Auckland, in the year 1879, for that was my word, but I will explain the meaning of this proposal, " 1 hat the Parliament be brought to Auck land, so tbat we might also be able to join in," This is the meaning. It was not that the whole Parliament should come,but that wine able men should be selected by tbe Parliament, and power given to them to inform us of the intentions of you Europeans towards us Maoris, such persons to form a Parliament at Auckland, so that we could go there, to Auckland, on any day ap pointed, and could deliberate together with the said Parliament as to the best means of settling all troubles existing between the two. races. I now ask that you may strongly support this idea, because I think that by this means onr tree will grow, that is the tree we planted at Waitara, Perhaps our wishes that >he troubles between Maoris and Europeans should cease may thus be fulfilled, and we may leavo the two races in prosperity, love, and tranqullity. We lock to you to befriend us in this work, for you know us, and our wfeb.es, and our customs, because you are not of to-day. No, you were in my day, and in the days of the elders who hare passed away,nnd we are few wbo nowremain. Another reason why we look ta you is as yours were the great works in this Island. Friend, Sir G. Grey, do you lay this before your Parliament, and may it be carefully considered by you all. — Sufficient,, from your friend, Rewi MANIAPOTO. Sir George Grey's Address to the Queen. The following is the text of Sir George Grey's address, congratulating the Queen on her recent escape :—" May it plea .■ yonr Majenty,— We, the House of Representa tives of New Zealand, desire immediately after our first meeting in Parliament since the 2nd of March, to express to yonr Msjesty our great thankfulness and delight at the preservation of our Queen from the peril which threatened yourMaje»ty on that day. We humbly and loyally assure your Majesty that distant as these islands are from the centre of your vast Empire, there are none among the very many millions of yonr subjects who regard your Majesty with greater pridp, reverence, and affection than tbe inhabitants of New Zealand, whose representative?, both European and native, gratefully transmit there expressions of attachment and loyalty to their Queen."

Major ATKINSON, in seconding the address, Baid that, in view of the fact that addresses of this kind had been forwarded by tbe populatioa in all parts of the colony, the Government did not think it necessary that the servants of the people should after wards do what they had already done. The motion was carried, and the message was ordered to be transmitted by cable.

Thursday, lottebies bill. Mr P. Dignan Rave notice to ask if the Government will amend the Gaming and lotteries Act so as to legalise raffles for re ligious and charitable purposes. I MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPRKTV.

The following were received from the Statute Revision Commission, and read a first time:-Justices of the Peace, Fisheries, Companies, Lunatics, Friendly Societies, and Inspection of Machinery Bills. DECEASED rEBSOHS' ESTATES, In reply to tbe question; by Mr Hart, Mr Whitaker said the Government were going to bring in a Bill to amend the Deceased Persons' Estates Duties Act, 1881, by relieving from duty the property passing to a widower on tbe decease of his wife. PRICES OF LAND, ETC. On Mr Chambeblin's motion, returns were ordered showing the average price of all Crown Jands in New Zealand reserved, and alft) of.those lands proposed to be reserved for the arowth and preservation of timber since the Land Act, 1877, came into force for the entire colony; bow maay notices to claim bonuses have been sent into the government trom the 18th May, 1881, to the 31st December, 1881, and, further, to the present time, for what articles, and at what dates were they given in ? ADDRESS-IN-RBPLY. Mr LAHMANN moved the adoption pt ihe address-in-reply to the Governor's speech. The address was wholly formal in its wording. Mr Williams seconded the adoption.

Colonel Whitmoke, in a speech lasting an hour, compared tho financial policy of the Hall Government advenely with that of the Grey Ministry. Ho warmly approved the Government action with respect to the West Coast troubled, but considered that

, their vigorous action should have been taken years earlier. He stated that the Government withdrawing from the purchase ' of the Patetere block haa resulted in a gain r of £250,000 to speculators, and its loss to I the colony. He advocated a policy of free trade, and direct taxation even to the extent of ten per cent., instead of the bulk t of the present Customs duties. He con i demn«d the Government for including so , large an area under the working of the Thermal Springs Bill. He thoroughly ap proved the Government's action with regard ' to Tawhiao and the King party, and pro , dieted that within a year or two the whole of the King country would be fully open to Europeans. Mr YVihtaker said be would, at the proper time, be prepared to enter into a dis cussion with the Colonel upon the financial policy of the late and present Government, but the present was not the occasion for it, and he deprecated side dUcuasions in the Council. He fully approved of the delay to the last of using force on the West Coast. All experience showed that no community would wholly give up indirect for direct taxation, and therefore] it would be fatile to attempt it. The Government had not yet decided to ask power for another loan thii session. In any case, it could not be raised till the end of the year or the beginning of the next. If possible, Government would do without a Loan liill till the next session, though there mutt ultimately be further borrowing to complete and reader prortuc-' tive the works now partly done. He denied that the Government sought a policy by sending round the local government circu lars. On the contrary, a policy was sent and suggestions were invited on it. He de fended the action of the Government as to Patetere. Their policy as to that land was that followed in all other cases. The In cluaion of so large an area under the Thermal Springs Bill was unavoidable to effect the purpose of the Bill, Tho policy of that Bill was an important experiment, which gave every promise of being success ful. Mr WILSON nrged a reform in the ad ministration of native lands. The present system was demoralising to both races. Mr Chambkrlin blamed the too eco nomical policy of the Government in work ing the railways as the cause of most of the accidents. Mr Mamtbll expressed his surprise that tbo Governor's despatcues, with regard to the West Coast affair, had not already been laid on the table.

The address was then adopted uniinl moiißiy. The Council rose at 4,50.

House of Representatives.

Thuesday. The House mot at 2.30 p.m. CONSOLIDATION BILLS. The following Consolidation Bills were introduced by message from tho Governor, and read a first time :-The Customs Laws and Customs Duties Consolidation, QUESTIONS. The following iqplies to variona questions were given :—(1) In the caso ot the hand cuffing unresisting citizens apprehended for a breach of the Gaming and Lottteries Act, they were Chinamen, and as a rush was made at the time, the handcuffing was re sorted to for the purposo of securing their identity. In the other, case, under the sumo Act, it was a teat case, and the police thought it advisable to commit the law officers before instituting proceedings. (2) It was not tho intention of the Govern ment to introduce any amendment of the t duration Act this session. (3) A joint committee of both Hautop, to consider tbe bankruptcy laws, would be moved for, and the Government would, on receiving their suggestions, be prepared to frame an amended Bill.

Mr Fkldwick : A return giving a list of the gaols in the colony, the names of the Visiting Justices appointed to each, and a return of all punishments inflicted on pri soners for prison offences in the several gaels during the year ended the 31st of December, 1881. HOUR OF ADJOURNMENT. Mr MaCAHDREW moved, "That during the present session of the Bonne, any bnsi nets under consideration of the House at 12.30 a.m., shall be adjourned by Mr Speaker, without any question being put ;If at that hour the House be in committee, the Chairman, with out any question being put, shall re port the same to Mr Speaker, who shall forthwith adjourn the business and then tin: House without putting any ques tion ; tho business so interrupted to bo put down on the order paper for tin next day, in accordance with tbe standing orders allcotinx other interrupted business," After some discussion au amendment by Major Atkinson, referring the matter to tho Stand ing Orders Committee, was accepted. THE ADDRESS-IN-RBPLY. The debate on this subject was then resumed. Mr FsLDWICK blamed the Government for not having called Parliament together at an earlier date, Mr M. W. GREEN said that he had been returned on an entirely independent foot ing. He had been unintentionally made to appear in the position of an Opposition member. When he consented to attend the Opposition caucus, he was distinctly given to understand that he was not committing himself cne way or the other. It was on that understanding that he attended that meet ing. He wished it new to be understood that he still reserved to himself the right of exercising an independent judgment on all matte's Which might come forward. He was disappointed with the speech. There ought to have been a bold statement of policy, instead of some small proposals, In not calling Parliament together at an earlier date, Ministeis brought themselves under the censnre of the House. He had no sympathy with those who asserted that the native difficulty was brought about for the purpose of standing right with tho ceuntry, but still be thought tbat the native difficulty of November last was a favourable' opportunity for dissolving Par lisrqent. Haying dona so at their own will, it T7as their bounden duty to call the Parliament together long before they Aid. Had "the He Use tfeeh called' to- j getbpr at art earlier date, arrangements for leasing the Qtago rune could have beoa

g made. He denounced the conduct of the if Government in connection with these runs if as tending to throw the land into the d hands of the squatters, He criticised the c Laud Act, and argued that it imposed con ,t ditions which prevented men ot small a means from competing for these runs. He c next alluded to the constitution I c of the Government. There was some a force in the contention that tho Premier i 0 ought to have a seat in the House. He c looked upon the existing state of things as c a violation of repressntativn Government! . which they should nnt overlook. The j • manifesto issued by Government to the • ) local governing bodies he looked upon as an , 1 ofleuce against their repreientativo inatitu - tio_.. Mr Hursthouse dissented altogether from the leasehold proposal, as he under stood it, However, it was only a limited j quantity of agricultural lands that was to be placed under the operation of this policy, and such being the case, he felt in a manner reconciled to the proposal. The exception taken to the Premier on account of his having been rejected by a certain constituency was frivolous and unfounded. He thought the speech was con spicuous for certain omissions. He was surprised at its silence respecting the reconstruction of tho Government, and the painful causes that had induced Mr Hall to resign. The few are rejoiced at Mr Wbitaker s promotion. As to the law of entail, he hoped that It would make ita appearance again in that Chamber, Now was the time to strike at the root of the evil. Alluding to the question of local self"governtnent, he said what was wanted was the introduction of a method formaking roads and bridges without imposing taxation. tie objected to any further loan being con tracted. Let them see whether or not the prosperity was pormanent, before they plunged further into debt. It was all very good for places like JUunedin to talk about further leans. They gat tho benefit of the money, They had their Otago aentral line and thoir harbour .iclißines to promote. It was very different with the remoto districts, such as the one he repreaeated. They got no benefit from the loans. The troth was that their lauds were much more valuable ten years ago than now. He asked them to consider these facts, Mr FERGUS congratulated tho Govern ment upon tho increased prosperity, which ho attributed to the wise and liberal mea sures taken by them to allay the commer cial panic. Mr Fish scouted the idea of his col league, Mr Green, continuing an indepen dent member. Tho exigencies of the State demanded government by party. He defended the Government in the course it I had pursued in many matters. Mr J. C. Brown spoke at some length in opposition to the Government. ' The motion for tho appointment of a committee was put and carried on the voicos. Tho address was then read and adopted. On the motion of Mr Peacock, it wna agreed that the Speaker, accompanied by members, should present the address. At 12,25 the House adjourned.

The House TO-Day.

When the House met to-day, Me Wynn Williams brought up the roport of the Select Committee on "Corrupt Practices Act. It was to the effect that clauses 17 and 18 wore too sovere, and should be amended by giving judges discretionary power to inflict all or any of the penalties, instead of their beinc obliged to mflct the whole penalties, even in cases of merely technical offences. The Honso asreud to the roport, and re solved that legislation bo introduced to give effect to it. The Grammar School Reserve. Mr Moss gave notice to auk the Govorn raent on Tuesday next whether thoy have received from the Governors of thoAucklaml College and Grammar School any oom munication with reference to a proposed transfer to that school of certain properties in the city of Auckland, near the borough of Parnel), now held in trust for the purpose «fa Maori hostelry, and if so, whether they h«ve any objection to Jay fiucli communications with their reply upon tie table. . LEASEHOLD FRANCHISE. In reply to a question, tho Government said thoy would introduce a Bill, if time allowed, to confer a leasehold franchise.

IMPROVEMENTS TO ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH.

Laying thkFoundati in Stose.

Thee ceremony of laying the' foundation atone of the tower and portico that are to bo added to St. Andrew's Preßbyterian Church was proceeding when we went to press «n Wednesday, and was briefly referred to in that issue. We now supply the faller particulars. The site of the in tended tower is the north-western angle of the building, and it was here that tbc gathering took place. A staging had been erected for the accommodation of the speakers and representative men, and bunting bad been suspended along the wall of the church, conspicuous among the flags and pennants displayed being the yellow stan dard of Scotland. Children from the various Presbyterian Sunday-schools of the city were grouped in front of the staging, and the general public formed the outer circle, everyone, of course, being anxious to get as near the scone of operations as possible, and tbe incritable coasequence being much squeezing and crushing The following gentlemen were noticeable upon the platform :—The Revs. A. Carriclc (pastor of St. Andrew's), John Macky (OUhuhu), J. Bruce (Onehunfia), W. Thompson (Waiukn), P. Mason, K. F. Macmcol, (St. James's), D. W. Kunciman (St. Stephen's), the Vtn. Archdeacon Maunsell (Anglican), T. Buddie (Wes leyan), and Alexander Reid (Weeleyan). The proceedings were opened with devo tional exercises, after which Mr George Fraser, clerk of the church, read the oon tenta of the parchaent acioll which had been prepared for depositing ia the leaden bottle that was to be placed under the stone. It contained a succinct history of the church, and the names of the present pastor and office-bearers, &c, viz ,— Pastor, Rev. Alexander Carrick. Elders : Andrew Bell, J. B.

The man Hoy, who was reported in our last evening's issue to have sustained serious injuries under very peculiar circumstances, was more sensible to-day, while his condition had somewhat improved. Ec explains that the burns referred to were caused by a lighted cundle falling against his neck while he lay in a semi-conscious state.

A ■workman employed in the Kail way Workshops called at the Hospital this after noon tor treatment, one of the fingers of his left hand having been smashed by an acci. dent. The injury was dressed, and the man, who had lost % considerable quantity of blood, returned to his home. He did not leave bis name.

The last report from the Southern Cross manager is dated May 25th. It states that the leading 'stope on the hanging wall leader has been carried along for some distance, and another stope started. No gold has been seen in the quartz broken out during the week, but there is plenty of nice mineral in the stone. The drive has been timbered up and everything is now in order to work this leader. There is about 70ft of backs to work out on the leader— that is from the 200 ft to the 140 ft level. Four loads of quartz were landed up on Wednesday, but crushing will not be started before Monday. The reef in the drive at the 400 ft level going seaward has greatly improved. The manager says he is taking th,9 driye i about Bft wide, which is all quartz, and still there seems to be more in the hanging wall. There is plenty of mineral in the stone, some of which looks , favourable for gold. ■■■•'••«
