I HAYK been favoured with a glance at the programmes for the Aucklaud Spimg -nd Summer Meetings. The date of the foi mer has been fixed for Nov, 7, and the added money will amount to £400. Tha events are : Trial Stakes of lOOsovs, Hurdles of 60 soys Welcome Stakes of lOOsovs, Spring Handicap of lOOsovs, Selby Hurdles of 20sov-, and Consolation .of 20jovs. Entries for the Spring Handicap and Hur dies closo on tho 29th Sept, The added money for the Summer Meeting has been increased to £2,400, the Auckland Cup prize now being the respectable sum of Mr John Lennard has named his three yoor old Patriarch-Lyra filly Lyric. The filly has recovered from her shin-soreness, but Mr Lennard dees not intend the race to be till the Summer Meeting. Another item of news from this stable is that Dew drop will not sport silk thi3 season. . From an authoritative source, I hear that tho Thames Jockey Club intend raising the value of tho Thames Jockey Club Handicap to £150 this year, and the steeplechase to £75. The annual horae parade of stallions will take place at Kllerslie on September 16. The Middle Park Company's mare, Idnlia, has missed to King of Clubs. Tbe Wanganui Jockey Club have re versed their decision _•« tho appointment of MrHntelyas handicapper, and a committee of three has been appointed to do the work. My London correspondent writing by the buez mail, says : — The only race of importance, since I last wrote, has boon tho Northumberland Plato, or Tynesider-' Derby," as it is sometimes called. Tho day was fine, and the par ticulars aie as follows :—

This race, which everyone thought a dead certainty for Faugh-a- Ballagh, resulted in a turn up. Three quarters of a mile from home the favourite "cracked," and Victor Emanuel heading Novice without difficulty won in a canter by twelve leniths, Timo, 3minß 25secs. Value of the stakes, £950. The acctdent to Wheatear is likely to prove serious. " Augur" aaya that Wheatear's hind legs were badly injured, and Sir Oliver bad his near fore-leg cut severely. Fears are expreised that Wbeat ear will never be able to race again. Both colts bad valuable engagements, ao that it will be hard lines for Captain Osborne, who is one of the most genuine spurt i_ien in Australia.

The total amount to be run for at tho Dunedin Spring Meeting is £1,025, au in crease of £500 on last year'a meeting. For the Autumn Meeting the amount i" £2,935, being £1,000 above the amount of tit. -takes run for at the last Autumn Meeting.

It appears, says " Beacon," that Messrs Mason and Vallauce are to have the use of Siesta, Nonsense, La Mode, Murat, Leo pold, Deceit, and Helana; while Dan O'Brien has taken Holderness. Messrs Mason and Yallaoqe may therefore be ex pected to take this 'season quite as promi nent a place in tuif matters as tbey have in previous years.

BREVITIES,

Mr Hamilton, of Manutahi, has pur chased from Mr Barker tbe thoroughbred ; aire The Governor. i Tho Musktt—Maid of Honor foal is dead; " Troubles never como singly." A bookmaker named A. F.

PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM OUR gPKWAIi COERKSPONDKNT.)

WELLINGTON, this day. j The Government and the Land r Tax Proposals. 3 It is understood that a Ministerial state -8 ment will be made b. the Colonial Trea ts surer to-day as to the course the Govern- I ment intend taking in relation to the now 3 clause which Mr Shrimaki proposes to • add to the New Loan Bill. j Fees on Private Bills. ij A joint committee on private and , local bills have recommtnded a revision of [ the standing orders relating to inch mea sures, and at a reduced scale of fixed costs, . instead of the present rates, which they . condemn as "highly exorbitant" Dr Diver's Claim. 1 The cemmittee considered Dr Diver's petition again today, aad came to tbe ' conclusion that as he bad no authority for J making medical examinations, be has no claim. Financial Separation. iln the House to-day Mr Driver gave notice to move, on going into Committee of Supply, a resolution affirming the necessity for immediate financial separation between the two islands, and that a Royal Commis sion should be appointed to determine tho terms of such separation, and that a Bill be ; introduced next session to carry out tbe report. Native Lands Act. Mr Bryce's Native Lands Act Amend ment, after repeating some sections of the Native Land Court Act, 18S0, enacts that it shall bo lawful for the Govsrnor-in- Council, for the purposes of tho said j«ativo Lands Court Act, from time to time to divide the coloay into Registrar's dis tricts, and to annul, alter, _or vary, such divisions for each district. The Governor may appoint a Registrar, and such other officers as may be neces sary. Tho records, maps, and docu merits relating to land within each district shall bo deposited, and tbe official or administrative work thereof carried on at such place in each district ns the Oovcrnor shall from time to time ap point, If a block of land extends into more than one district, the application may be recorded and the papers deposited, and the work about the same coaductod in either of the districts as may bo decided by the Chief Judge, if any question arises thereon. And whereas much incon venience has been experienced from the existence of surv«yors' and other liens which it is expedient should be removed,be it enacted that iv any such case the pay ment by any person into the office of the Public Trustee of the sum of money at the time protected by such lien to the account of the Native Lands Court in the matter of the block of land named, and ex pane the per son who originally obtained the lien shall be an absolute discharge of such lien, and shall be recorded by the Court accordingly. And whereas doubts have arisen as to the jurisdiction of the Native Land* Court, in the division of lands held by natives as joint tenants under Crown Grant, be it de clared and enacted that orders and decrees for division and award may, without op. position at the time of hearing by the Native Land Court under the provisions of the Native Land Act, 1873, and amend ' ment thereto, shall be, and be dc.mcd to have been from the date of such order, as valid and effectual as if the Native Land Court had at the time of tho making ef such orders full jurisdiction to divides ,pr award land as aforesaid. Sale of Crown Lands. -On Thursday, August 24th, Mr Wynn Williams will more, " That, to the opinion of this House, it is esseatial to tbe future prosperity »f the colony that all Crown Fa-ds should be reserved for the purpose of being leased or sold in blocks not exceeding 500 acres, at fixed prices per acre, and that provision should bo made to the abore effect, and also f«r tho prevention by stringent penal provisions of the purchaso by any one person of more than 500 acres of land or of tbe holding of leaseholds of larger extent than 500 acres, Including lands let for purely pastoral purposes. Further, that the Gottrnment should, prs paratory to the next session of Parliament, consider of some financial proposal far the redistribution of the taxatisn as to ensure that it shall follow in due proportion more directly on the owners fof lands specially benefitted by tho construction of railways, thereby equalising, as far as possible, the general taxation of the people." Repairs to Parliament Build ings. A return of the expenditure in repairs, alterations, painting, and decorating the Parliament Buildings since last session of the Assembly was| laid on .the table as follows: Committee rooms, Legisla tive Council, £778; painting, papering, distempering inside, painting ontsidc, £994 { new galvanized iron pipe, £644 ; re-dyeing drapery, upholstery repairs to furniture, new matting, carpets, etc, £656 ; fencing ground, £413; miscellaneous, £684. Total, £4,069. Mr Shritnski's Amendment. Bo Mr Shrimskl's amendment, the "Times" says:—"lf ever there was a barefaced attempt te hoodwink men into endorsing a proposition irrespective of their convictions, this was surely one. That tho House did not in some marked way resoot this unprincipled interference with its freedom of opinion, can only be accounted for by the fact that the members felt as men do when caught in an ambnscade. By this time, however, lhey must have recov ered from their surprise, and we are much mistaken if to-day the House does not, by its attitude, firmly declare that no party, shall be allowed to dictate the House's action, that the proposal tp tax the lands shall not be inserted in the Loan Bill, and that the Bill, as also that proposal, shall be disposed of Solely on its merits." In the Legislative Council yesterday, the following Bills were read a second time :— Savings Bank Act, 1858, Amendment Bill; Supreme Court Bill j Court of Appeal and Amendment Bill; Law Amendment Bill; and Criminal Law Bill. Auckland College, In the Council, on the motion for tbe committal of the 1 Auckland College Bill, Mr VEVHOiiDS moved that it be thrown onl, but after a long debate only four voted J for the amendment against 27 who sup ported the Bill.—After considerable dis cussion, the Bill passed through committee with amendments. The third reading of the Bill was fixed for to-morrow. Questions. Replying to Mr Holmes. Mr BRYCBsaid the 'Government understood that crimes of violence, at Christchnrub, Were not quite I a. common ns they had been. They were, i however, too common, so much so as to lead , bim to believe either that Chriatchurch ] criminals were particularly bold and audacious, o, else the police were par- j ticnlarly inefficient. He proposed taking steps for satisfying hinjself on the point at an early date. Native Claipis. 1 On the motion of Mr McDONAifl, a Bill for tbe settlement of [native claims in the Mohake and Wajkere districts was rpad a first time. A Set Against Colonel Trimble. Exactly two hours and a-quarter were wssted, last night, in deciding who or who should not be Chairman of Committee. Mr Shbimski startod the ball rolling by objecting to Col. Trimble, when a long and needless discussion ensued, which even tually ended in the Colonel' filling the chair, which he did amidst loud applause. The debate, however,. will probably make Colonel Trimble more careful, and not quite bo arbitrary in his future ruling, which fact was fully acknowledged by many to be the case during the discus sion, i ■ • ~j, Coroners Act. In committee ontheCorOners Act Amend ment Bill, I Mr DICK moved as an amendment that | the number of jury to be summoned upon a coroner's inquest be six persons, of whom ! four shall be agreed, instead of twelve, j as at present. Tho clau.e was passed, | subject to the proviso of five out of the six agreeing upon a verdict. The Bill was reported with amendments, and read a third time and passed. , Law Practitioners Bill, During the debate on Sir George Grey's Legal Practitioners Bill, Major Atkinson asked the member in charge of it to post pone it for a week, .Mr DnaCANy amidst an audible titter, hoped Sir George Grey would "stuck to his bull," as the district whioh he repreiented only possessed " one legal prolessioner.' After a three hours' debate, the Bill was re-committed, •■• '• .Mr Holmes (a lawyer) denounced the Bill as calculated to degrade the profession. Clause 3, authorising the appointment of legal advocates;-he denounced most empha-

I tically. It was calculated to foster a class of touters. With respect to the rest of tbe J-ill, he was prepared to accept it. He moved tho re-committal of the Bill, with the view of getting clause 3 expunged. The Bill was re-committed on a division by 33 to 29 Left sittiou- at 1.30 a.m.

After considerable further discussion in committee on the Law Practitioners Bill, progress was reported, and the House rose at 2.2 a.m.

= ~r _ - Rumours were current in town tq-day to the effect that Dr. Philson bad died from the blood poisoning referred to in a pre vious fs-ue.
