PAWNBROKERS.

The following motioa was carried (Mr Tote): A return of licensed pawnbrokers in the colony.

THE CHEISTCHTJECH EXHIBITION,

Mr SimiMSia moved that the adjourn ment of the House for the purpose of visit ing the Cbristchurch Exhibition be from Friday, the 30th, to Wednesday, the sth July. Major Atkinson moved, as an amend ment, the addition of the words "and that Wednesday evening be devoted to Govern ment business."

After further discussion, Sir J. HaUi said he understood tbat a programme for the entertainment of mem bers in Cbristchurch had been received, and asked that it should be read.

The proposal wai negatived on the voices,

Sir Geoege Grey objected to the Government depriving private members of one of their days. He suggested that they should fix a sitting for Monday in lieu of the day that would be lost. The House*flivided on the amendment- Ayes, 52; noes, 20. After further discussion,

Mr Tolk moved as a further amendment that the House alt on Monday, the 10th July, at 7.30, lor, the purpose of taking ap private members' business Mr Sbddon protested against the whole arrangement, -stating that the House and countiy bad been made to dance to the tune of two mere adventurer*, Messrs Twopenny and Joubert, and he wonld be no patty to it. The amendment was carried on the voices, and the [motion, as amended, was agreed to. THE PROPOSED LOAN. Mr Bahron moved, " That any proposal for the increase of the public debt of the colony by further borrowing should be sab mitted to the electors, and receive the ap proval ef three-fifths »f their number before being finally sanctioned by the Legislature." He dwelt on the temptation borrowed money afforded to members to sanction fresh loans, when more mature reflection would show them that policy was altogether bad. The principle he advocated was already in force in regard to municipal loans. Mr Hursthousk supported the motion. He had all along been of opinion that it would be most reprehensible to add to the debt of the colony, He was satisfied that many of the railway works proposed to be undertaken wonld not pay 2£ per cent, for many years, and such being the case, he would not be doing his duty if be did not resist further borrowing. All the Nelson members bad been returned on the distinct understanding that they would discoun tenance further loan proposals. He be lieved it would be an evil day for New Zea land when she undertook to complete many of the main trunk lines again. Mr FERGUS thought that the subject ought to be delayed until the public works statement was before them, Up to the present time loans had been borrowed on the authority of Parliament. |If they now appealed to the countiy it would follow that districts well provided for would vote against fresh loans, and the other districts would go in favour of them.

Mr Moss spoke in support of the motion. It wa< only right that the persons who had to defray the cost should have a voice in the policy of contracting the debt. Sir G, Gbev supported the motion, "ad mitting that it had been brought forward at rather a late day. Still it was a right thing to do, and the sooner it was done the better.

Mr Bonus contended that the question of a fresh loan had been affirmed by the late elections. He would support the loan if his district got a fair share of it. He would therefore vote against the motion. Major Atkinson said, if a question of this kind was to be relegated to the electors, then it would virtually affirm the principle that not only this, hut every other question, should bs 80 relegated |to the electors for permission to act. A principle of that kind oogbt to have been preceded by a motion that the time bad come when represen tative institutions should be abrogated al» together. ; Mr BARKON denied that this was a third, rate question. It was of vital importance, affecting as It did their pecuniary position. He was advene to raise an abstract ques tion like this on the policy of the Govern. ment, a question which might be taken as a vote of want of confidence. It would be best to get the question discussed apart from the strong passinus excited in regard to a no-confidence motion. He admitted there were lines which ought to be finished; the Waikato-Taranaki through line, for example. Lines like that one could be provided for out of the lands through which they would be made to pass, The motion was put, and negatived on a division—aye?, 25; noes, 44 TECHNICAL IKSTBUCTIQIT. Mr HUTCHISON moved, " That the House resolve itself into a committee of the whole House to consider the address to the Governor praying that he will recommend for appropriation this' year the sum of £10,000, to be divided amoDg the Education Boards of the colony, for the purpose of on couraging technical education by means of night schools, or otherwise, and for the establishment and encouragement of female classes for sewing and cookery." Several speakei s spoke in favour of the. motion, which was carried on the voices^ GOLD DCTIES ABOLITION. Mr Sksdon moved the second readme of the Gold Duties Abolition BUI He argued at some length that the miners were a moat desirable class oi colonists. The duly represented at least 2J per cent, upon their incomes. That being so, if every other class of the community waa similarly heavily weighted, they conl4 dispense altogether with the. Customs duties Mr Roll£3ton said the subject had come before the House year alter year VS^ 68"0? creait?d ™# **rt the goldfield members were no* \n earnest, but such was not the $ase. With re' garfl to the mover of this motion, although many of his arguments were not by a,ny means either forcible or effective it had been argued that the duty and the miner's tight oreated an unfair tax. This duty was not properly a tax} it was a fait payment for a service ' rendered, Vox facility of collection, the impost was a most convenient one. If it was taken off it would rest with tho Government to find other means for looal government purposes. The private water-races on- the goldfields re presented £800,000, and themachineryabout £400,000. To meet local requirements a very heavy tax per £ would have to be levied to raise income from either of those Bouroes. He denied a statement made and reiterated that a largo proportion of the industrial population had lately left the colony. He would not be slow to see that justice was done to the mining districts, as witness the efforts^ being made by the Government in that direction, * He hoped members would pause before taking any steps to disturb seriously the financial arrangements of the local bodies.

Mr SheeuAn bad convinced himself that this was an arbitrary and anjoat impost. As regarded the pies of compensation for the area of the land, he disposed of that by

saying that mining was now almost exclni sively confined to land otherwise •worthless' He had to face the fact that the abolitionof the duty would leave certain local bodies almost destitute. Efforts wero now being made to make some kind of substitute of provision, and until that wta done he suggested that the Bill should not bepresßcdou. Ho suggested for that nur. pose a delay of one week. The Bill of last session contained a permissive clause and if this Bill was insisted upon at present ha would ask the Honse to assist him in getting a similar clause put into this Bill. He had no faith in the c »ne rosity ot the Government in making nro" vision for the loss of the revenue He would, therefore, hesitate in givios th« Bill as It stood his unqualißed sunnor" He moved in no hostile spirit toth£ Bill, •' That the debate be adjourned for a week."

Mr Weston supported the amendment Mr Munbo opposed the adjournment and supported the motioD, ' Mr Fergus insisted that Parliament had Lroken faith with miners in not subsl. dising the goldfields revenue £ for £ the same bs other revenue. He reiterated the pleas that m'ners were making roads which would eventually be of service in the settle. ment of the country. Sir George Gket reprobated a state, ment by Mr Kolleston that on previous oc« casions the goldfields members had not been sincere ia this endeavour. He denied there was any truth in the assertion, in proof of which he reminded them that the Bill had been parsed in that House. Mr Rollesloa did not understand the question of deferred payment. Settlers were mentioned. These men purchased a freehold. Jf he had to pay a duty like the miner the time would come when he would be bound to throw up bis holding. In the same way .this duty' was bound to close up a certain class of miners, He would, as he had all along done, sup. port the motion.

Mr Pvke said a conference of goldfields ran in bets had been held, to form a policy, which they had done, and which was now before the Government. This was only a portion of the policy they had communk oated. He would ask the mover of the amendment to withdraw it, and allow the Bill to be read a second time. It could then be made, as in reality it was, a part of the aforesaid policy. Mr Sheehan said that he had an assur ance that sufficient time would be given before the committal of the Bill, to allow of the goldfields members maturing their plans. He would therefore withdraw the amendment.

Mr Seddon replied, and said (hat the goldfhlds were quite prepared to face the question of local revenues. The motion was carried on the voices. i EMPLOYMENT OF FBHAUS3. Mr M. W. Gbeen moved the second reading of the Employment of Females Act Amendment Bill. The motion was ca ried, SCHOOL COMMITTEES ELECTION BILL. Mr Steward moved the second reading of the School Committees Election Bill, Mr Peacock and Mr Hutchison sup ported the Bill. Mr Dick approved of the provisions of the Bill as to the date for election. He agreed that the cumulative vote was objec« tiouable, and ought to be abolished. He would like to have seen absence from three consecutive meetings declared a dia« qualification. Me would support the Bill. Me^rs RUTHBiFOBD, DaLTON, SMITH, M. W. Gbken, and Dodhon, supported tlie Bill. The motion was then put, and carried on the voices.

The House rose at 12.50 a.m,

WAIKA TO NEWS.

(PEOM OUB OYfX CORRESPONDENT.)

Hamilton, Wednesday. The Piako-Thames road is at present in anything but a comfortably passable con. dition for travellers, and more particularly for carriage traffic. The recent few days of fine weather enabled the mail coach to proceed bet .veen Hamilton and Te Aroha, but yesterday's rain has not improved its condition. Should the weather not iin. prove, it is feared tbat this important line of road will be practically closed to -traffio lor some time,

Tk awamutu.

Tenders have now been advertised for, for the erection of the Cheese Factory and manager* residence. '1 he plans of tho building were drawn up under the direction of Mr Walpole, a gentleman, of extensive experience in the matter of milk producing and cheese making. The site chosen ior the factory is conveniently situated, adjoin ing the town, and in a good central position for the milk contributors. The water for the factory will be obtained from well?, and not" from the Mangapiko River, as at first intended; and, judging from tho interest and enthusiasm m&nu tested by the settlers in the project, and the readiness and confidence with which tho shares have been taken up, Mr Walpoto predicts a very successful career for tho industry.

Cambridge,

Judging from a letter which appeared in the " Waikato Times" of yesterday, tha settlers m the Cambridge district are be« ginning to consider the matter of a cheese and bacon factory, Bamjlron and Te Awa muta having set them an example of a most encouraging character. Probably they will wait uotil something practical is knowo of the pecuniary success of the Te Awanmta shareholders, and if the enterprise of thesa does not realise present expectations, thera is very little likelihood of a cheese factory being started here. Cambridge peopla were at one time very fertile in institutione, out, generally speaking, the success wbich has attended the exertions of the promoters has been of sucti a character as to warrant a discontinuance of untried enterprise for some time to come.

At the usual annual meeting of the Public Hall Committee, h.ld y M ferday eronimj, Mr J. P. Campbell in tie chair, tho following gentlemen we» unanimously elected trustees for the. ensuing vw — Captains Kunclman, Soutter, and Fisher, and Messrs B. Rirkwood, Jno. Hooghton (sen.) Hewitt, Thomson, Brooks, and. Isaacs, At a meeting of tho committea held subsequently, Mr Houghton Was «• appointed chairman, and tho scale of charges for local objects was materially reduced.

Tbe Company la formed for the purpose Of manufacturing in Aacklasd, on a large scalo, Stearlne Candlos, Soap, Oil, and the various other articles of commerce which ara produced in connection with such manufactures. it BAS BERN arranged that the Auckland Oil Company, Limited, the Parnelt Soap Factory Company, and Messrs Saundera and Gilbert tranafor their sever?! btwinotooa and plants to the Company,receiving payment in Sharaa with 10s each paid up. The valuation of the piopar tles thtu acquired has beon carefully maae, and none of the firms receive nny advanoo on the cost price of their plant and promlios. or any allowance for goodwill. The Company has thus a lp~ge and profitable business to commence with, and can at leisure develop its plans for farther expansion. The Punt Required for making Steirlne Candles will be imported, as Boon as fuller In formation hrs been obtained as to the machi nery needed and the be?t processes of nianu factrre. It is istkndrd to purchars land of sufficient extent to carry all the Company's works upon it. Several suitable eltes eio available and when the Provlflonal Direotors have acquired tbe site considered best for the purpose, stops will \>3 taken to remove the plant now in use from tha present premises and concentrate all the Company's works on one spot. Fortho Information of Intending shareholders the prospects of the different branches of the bußlnea3 are Bummarlsad us follows :— Steaeine Casdws.—At present none are raado in Auckland, t3 that the Company would hivo no competition, except with the imported article. The quantity of Stonrino Candles im ported into Auckland in the year ondinp3lst March last (escluelve of coastwise importations) was no less than 971,404 pounds weight. In favour tf tho Compaoy b3in« able to compete for tho supply of this large market rre the faots (Ist) that fii Jt-alaas tillow.a principal ingredient, can be bought bere at about £10 per ton cheaper than in England, and (2nd) that the Company's candles would be free irom the cast of freight, insurance, and duty, &o, which add at least Zd per lb to the price of imported candles. Tha duty paid On Stearine Candles, at the port of Auckland alone, in the year end- Ing Slst March, 1882, was £6,071 5s Gd, in itself a handsome profit. ' Soap and Oils.—The provisional direotors have satisfied themselves that each of the three businesses which are incorporated has been worked at a profit to the proprietors, and as the union into one company will inoreaae the margin for profit, as well as tend to economy in working, they have no doubt of the payable re sults to be had from theeo doprrtmon**). The export of oil and soap is already steadily In creasing, and undoubtedly admits of great ex pansion. The Capital of tho Company Is fixed at £60,006, to provida "amply for all contingencies; it is not expeornd, however, that more than 10s per share will be called up. Sixteen thousand Shares, with 10s per share paid up, are allotted to the partners in the amalgamated firms, in ezobange for plant, promises, and stock of equal value. The remaining 31,(00 Shares are now offered to the pub'io at par :—Two Bhl'!ings per snare to be paid on application, one shll"ng on ellot men t, and tho baUnoa ai may be required— in calls of one shilling each, made at intorvcls of not IeBS than three months.
