Legislative Council.

(BY TELKORAPH.)

PROGRESS OF BILLS,

Friday,

On resuming, the Trades Mark Ac* Amendment Bill, and the Waikato Confia" catcd Land Bill were read a second time.

AUCKLAND HARBOUR BOARD BILL.

On the motion to go into committee on tho Auckland Harbour Board Bill,

JMr Wilson said the Council had deter mined to put rating clauses in all borrow ing Bills, and also to provide for a poll of the ratepayers before a loan was raised. Dr. Pollen and Captain Frasbr spoke to the same effect, while Mr Williamson, Mr Johnston, and Mr McLean said the re sources of the Auckland Board wero so large that rating powers were not wanted. Ultimately the debate was adjourned, and the House rose at 5 p.m.

House of Representatives.

Friday.

Replying to Mr FULTON, Major ATKIN SON said the Government had under consi deration the propriety of instituting a pen sion fund for all branches of the public service, tho cost of which should be pro vided for by a compulsory and propor tionate deduction from the salaries and wages of persons employed in the Civil Service,

MOTIONS PUT AND CARRIED,

The following motions were put and car' ried :—Mr Johnston : "That a committee be appointed, to consist of live members, to consider and report upon the propriety of giving the consent of the Government to the rcfeicnce of the Broaden claims under the provisions of the Government Contractors Arbitration A ct, 1872, the committee to con sist of Sir J. Hall, Messrs Macandrew, Ful ton, Montgomery, and the mover." Mr O'Callaghan, "That the House resolve itsolf into committee to consider an address to the Governor praying that a portion of the amount paid in 1880 for incidental ex penses to several Boards of Education may be restored, and will recommend for appro priation this year the sum of 5s per child on the average attendance at the district schools, with the view of enabling the Boards to return 10 per cent, deducted from tho salaries of schopl-masters."

PRIVATE BILLS COSTS BILL,

On tho motion for committal of Private Bills Costs Bill, Mr Macandrew objected that it was altogether uncalled for, and the second reading had been passed without due con sideration.

Mr Kelly concurred In the objection. Mr J. C. Brown followed in tho same strain, and moved, " That it be committed that day six months."

Major Atkinson said it was but right that it an unjust Bill was brought forward, the persons interested in opposing it should have their costs.

Mr Hamlin said the Bill was one alto gether in the interests of the public. After further discussion, the motion for adjournment for two weeks was carried.

COMMITTEE OP SUPPLY

On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr Dargaville said he was not the mouthpiece of the Opposition, or any sec tion of the Opposition, but he desired to make a few remarks upon the financial statement. He was not actuated by a spirit of hostility. It had been rumoured that a v/ant-of-confidcnce motion would be pro posed. He was innocent of any such pur pose. Tho first matter ho referred to was the sinking fund. That wos involved in mystery. He could get no information on tho subject. The conclusion ho had arrived at was that tho fund did not cxißt, as the Colonial Treasurer would have them be lieve. It wob stated there were £2,000,000 of Binkingfuttd,butit existed only on paper-our own promissory notes. The words " accrued fund " meant something with a foundation— something reliable. The so-calUd sinking fund existed only in the colonies ou paper, and they had no right to call this an ac crued sinking fund. He therefore trusted that the Treasurer would state tho whole thing in its native deformity, The state ment aa made was merely a delusion and a snare, The next matter demanding ex planation was that he began the year with a considerable credit, between £700,000 and £SOO,OOO, and yet some £432,000 of Trea sury bills had been Issued, Now that money was paid into tho bank, and had lain there. He a^ked why this should be. At the end of the financial year thero was a credit balance in the bauk of £784,000. Between what was paid as interest for the Treasury bills, and the interest paid by the bank, there was calculated a loss of from £B,oooto £12,000 per annum. The next point was the proposal to raise in the colony a loan of £250,000 from the savings of the .people. This was an old proposal, but it was not made in tho same bold terms as heretofore. The Ire-surer had had already two millions of tho people's money, and be was hungering after moio of it. He s:.id tho banks held something like nine millions of the people's money in Now Zealand. He was sure the intention was to experi ment With the banks of the colony, instead of going to the foreign market to raise loans, It tho Treasurer raised money in the colony to that extent, he would bo inflicting an injury on the colony itself. It would not bo tho email depositors that would purchase the debentures, but trust funds seeking per manent investment would bo invested in them. Theso moneys would have to be withdrawn to take up the debentures from the Government, The quarter from which these withdiawala would be re placed would be England, and the result would be that, instead of the Government getting English money at 5 per cent, these investments would have to pay 7J, In that way a great injury would be inflicted on the colony, This proposal to raise money in the colony for the necessities ot the Government would be most disastrous to the community at large. The incidence of taxation was next referred to, It was impolitic to tax money, and it was impolitic to tax improvements. The bondholders of this country had to pay a property tax. If they shifted their camp, and went to Mel bourne or England, they paid no property. tax, He was told the interest was payable here, but he did not care where the interest was paid. If tho Treasurer was' anxious to see accumulated wealth take up its) abode- in the country, his property tax should he changed. It operated in the most cruel and unjust man ner upon settlers. In Otago the property tax showed an increaso of 40 per cent.above the land tax. In Canterbury it wag 50 per Cent, increase, and in Auckland 300 per cent. It was land that had been benefitted by tho public works. A sum of £10,000,000 had been spent on railways.and although he was told tbey were paying 4 per cent,, ho asked, had nuflicient allowance been made for depreciation of rolling stock? Even sup posing the* profit was 4 per cent., ho would remind them that they were paying far more than that for the money. Thero was then a loss of ovor I por cent, mdci pendent of the immigration costs and expenses. All that was undeitaken for the benefit of the landed proprietors. For these reasons, he said that they should return'to the land tax of the Grey Government. Keforenco was next made to the proposed loan. They were told it was to be raised, or rather expended on a new principle. Itwas to bo allocated before it was raked. That was a mild subterfuge. The scrambling was just as groat as evor. Government knew that if these proposals did not give satisfac tion to their supporters, they must just as well write out their resignations. This allo cating of the loan was a mere sham. His impression was tbat they should pause. He asked them to remember the indignity put on tl^o colony when they last went into the English market. It was a great insult, which a private individual would not have readily forgotten. The Bank of England would not advance £15,000, on five millions of their debentures, and even then, when they got the money, they were told not to return again for at. least three years, He counselled them to pause for at least one year. Periods of depression came periodically. It was four years sinoe the last depression. What guarantee had they that they would not havo a renewal of such periods soon ? During times of depres sion they could not stop borrowing. It was duiing times like this—times of prosperity— that they could refrain, He knew of no urgent demand for the completion of their railways. Even Mr Macandrcw was making no demand for railway works in Otaao,ana ho was a very glutton for public works ex pondituro, Mr Montgomery understood they were to havo no financial discussion, until the public works statement was brought down, If they were going to spend three millions of money, it was most important they should have the public works statement, as also tho Local Government Bills before thpm,

PAYMENT OF MEMBERS.

Mr Seddoh reflected upon Mr Dargaville forlMnging on the dobato on finance on an evening which had been specially set apart

for the purpose of giving him an oppor tunity for moving a resolution re the pay ment of members. The motion on that sub ject he had to mnkc was as follows : " That members of the Bouse of Representatives be compensated for the expense incurred and time devoted by them, to the legislation of the country, and that said payment should be fixed by statute j and (second) that an address be presented to the Governor re questing him to recommend that a sum of £25,000 be appropriated out of the consoli dated revenue, payable every session, and that a Bill be introduced into Parliament to elve effect to that object.7'

The Speaker ruled that the second reso lution could not be put. An address could only be moved in committee of the whole. Mr Seddon said he would move the first part of the motion, and went on to argue the importance of having the honorarium question fixed ova permanent basis. He argued that there were men of ability in the colony who could not afford to devote them selves to the business of the country without some compensation. Other colonies and countries bad pursued this course, with advantage to tbe Legislature and lhe public. The unseemly spectacle of voting tho honorarium year by year would be super seded. So tar as tbe pecuniary part of the question was concerned, he reminded them that under the Triennial Parliaments they were put to increased expense. The object was to increase the amount paid to £300.

Mr Fish seconded tho motion. He argued that the sura now paid was in sufficient. If they recognised payment at all, then as regarded having it settled by statute, there could be no manner of doubt on that point.

Mr Bryce said that because the Govern ment had not brought down a Bill it need not be inferred that they were opposed to the payment of members. The principle had been wisely Jconceded by the House, and he agieed in the argument used,that if they were not paid, the non-payment would promote class legislation, and in' thai way the loss would be much greater than by a direct payment.

mr M. W. Green and Capt. McKenzie supported the motion. Mr Connolly thought that it should be left for the Government to fix the amount.

Sir GEO-GE Grey argued that legislation would be a great saving to the country. Recently, two sessions were held in one year. Th_t was £400 each. On that occasion, that was paid not only to that House, but likewise to the Legislative Council. In that case, financially, legis lation would be a saving, Again, there was no distinct arrangement as to whether a member leaving the colony could be paid for his absent time. He hoped the session would not be allowed to pass without getting the whole question settled. What must be done for one Chamber ought to be done for the other.

Sir J, Hall supported tbe motion. He regretted that the point had not been settled long ago.

Mr SWANSON suggested that the hono rarium should be fixed, bnt that tbe money should be raised by the constituencies. When he first came to Parliament £ICO was paid, and the members were put as candidates for re-election, and when elected as such to do their duty as tbey were now.

Mr MO3S reminded them that the Dis qualification Act did not exist ia those days, and the exemption was largely taken ad vantage of. No such inducements now existed, consequently the condition of affairs was changed. Referring to the English Legislature, he said it was true that members were not paid, but they had all the patronage of the public offices, so that they were remunerated iv another way.

Mr Sheehan said it waa a fact that mem bers had spoken against the honorarium, aod then went into the lobbies and hunted up members to vote for it. The time had como when such a state of things should be set at rest. The expense of elections had been greatly increased of late. He was not prepared to say what the amount should be. What be said was to have it settled, and settled for ever, or else abolish it alto gether. Mr Rutherford supported the Bill. Mr Seddon's motion was put aud carried on the voices.

SUPPLY.

The original motion for going into Com mittee of Supply was then put and earned.

THE ESTIMATES.

Vote, Geological and Meteorological De partment, £3,64o.—Passed. The vote, Agent-General's Department, £3,500, passed.

Mr George moved reporting progress. He pointed out that the next vote was for charitable aid, and would create consider able discussion, and the evening was far advanced.

Messrs Montgomery, Moss and Turn bull supported tbe motion, insisting that it was simply attempting to ride through tho estimates when there was no actual necessity.

The committee divided t Ayes, 18 : noes, 40. •

Vote, Charitable Aid, £40,000. Carried. Vote. Lunatic Asylums, £4,165, Item, Inspector, £1,0C3. Mr George moved that it be attack out, Mr SHEEHAN moved reporting progress. After considerable discussion Air George's motions to strike out tho item Inspector of Lunatic Asylums and Hospitals (£1000) was negatived on the voioes. The total vote of £41,165 was passed, progress reported, and tho House rose at 2.5 a.m.

SPORTING.

By Argus.

" No Jupiter qnldom omnibus plooot,"

PONSONBY played Grafton on the Domain Ground on Saturday, and won an exciting match by eight points to nil, T. White aide and H. H, Davy getting trys, which Arneil failed to convert into goals; and J- Braund got a goal from the field by a magnificent drop of about CO yards, the ball only Just clearing'the tape. The rapid passing which ended In a try by Whiteside was the best hit of that class of play I ever remember to have seen. To day, Auckland and Peotonby play their first match on the same ground. These clubs were to have met on the 3rd Instant, bnt only ten Aucklanders turned ud, and neither club brought a ball, so the match was postponed till the first blank day, which happened to be to-day. The following teamß have been chosen; Auckland—Bindon (2), Coleman, Culpan, Croxton, Carter, Mathias, Murphy, Mackay, Moginie, O'Connor, Pearson, Stewart, Henderson, (captain), and White. Ponsonby—T. Macky (captain), Arneil, Sfceen (2), White side (2), Braund, Davy, McConnell, Keesing, Clayton (2), Stewart, Hanna, and Pilkington.

Auckland and North Shore played a drawn game in the Domain on Saturday last, neither side scoring, though Auckland seemed to have the best of it if anything. The attendance a,t these matches was the largest seen this season, and the public seemed to take a great interest in the contests. But it is a, pity that the on-, lookers should allow their feelings to so far overcome them, as to cause their intrusion on tbe field of play. On (Saturday the crowd frequently interfered with the players by pushing forward across the touch and goal lines,

Several horses of good pedigree and ap pearance have arrived from Wanganui, and are now stabled at Mr Frank Quick's establishment, in Victeria-street. There are four cross-country animals. Two of them named respectively Bullseye and Katipo, and a third unnamed, are by Dead Shot, Mata's aim ana another big sightly chestnut, whose pedjgree I cannot ascer tain, named Harkaway. The last and least of thebvmch is. a tiny fancy pony, which is said to have a good reputation as a trotter. Th,ese animals should soon find purchasers, as the jumpers will be useful during the hunting season, aud would be eligible for thePaknranga Hunt Club races. Prometheus is so favourably spoken of by the Australian Turf writers, that people in Auckland, who have backed him for the y.E.C. Derby and Cup. don't desire to lay their, money off. Tho colt is a half brother to Darebin.

A footballer got excited in town on Saturday night. There was a "scrim mage, and he kicked five " behinds," got one *'touch-down," and secured one "goal" (only they put the a before the o this time), Frank Hewitt got beaten by'a yard »nd a half in his 50yd. match with Farrell on June 10th. The race was ran in the Agricultural Society's grounds, in the presence of a large crowd. Hewitt was the favourite. The time of the race was taken as 5 l-sth sees, I don't hear any more about the Huck step-Walsh walking match. Has it fallen through?

Darebin has suffered from another attack of his old enemy, rheumatism, since his brilliant coup in Adelaide, and has been nnable to leave for Melbourne in conse quence, Reform, who won the steeplechase at Adelaide recently, was sold after the race

Among the latest Southern items m sporting news, I hear that George Belcher the well known bookmaker, and who was in past years equally well known in the Fl7-_ ha. s, been, assisting at Mace's benefif at Christchurch. And, in passing, it M be interesting to record that it was Belcher who gave Professor Miller his first lesson, in the noble art of self-defence. Edwards, the long distance pedestrian, who will be well remembered by Auck landers as being the champion walker here at the period of the visit of Harris, Hewitt and Bird to our shores about ten or eleven years ago, has been matched against a ned named Clifford for a six days'contest for £100 a-side, to start on July 3rd, at Gee t f'TT 0f thoae wllom I mention above Jack Hams is now a bookmaker on.the New Zealand circuit, and perhaps the most res pected of his class in the colony. Frank Hewitt is in Sydney, where he has kept kotels, promoted pedestrian sports, made books, and, at latest, again appeared on the track. _ird,-well Bird went to quod In Tasmania a, heap of years ago, and his present whereabouts is unknown. Photo', graphs of all the quartette are still to to seen at the Occidental; and very few who have made Jack Hanis's acquaintance lately would recognise the picture of-a lean muscular athlete in full running cos. tume, as representing tho younger days of tbe tall and imposing metalliciau. The "Bulletin" says that a New Zea land bookmaker, now in Sydney, is posted at Christchurch Tattersall's.

LONDON, May 8. THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. As_ the result of the first of the great classic races will havo been forwarded to you by cable, I need only refer to it briefly. The day (April 27) was dull and wet, and the assemblage at Newmarket smaller than is usual an tho Guineas anniversary, Speculation, however, proved brisk directly the Ring assembled, for with the winter favourite Dutch Oven scratched, and Gerald under suspicion the race seemed the most open known for years, and up to the very last 4 to 1 ivaa freely laid on tho field. When business began tbe French colt Executor was favourite, and in strong demand at 4 to 1 and 7.t0 2, the Northern colt Porsebearer and the Kings, clerc filly Shotover being also fancied.

THB RACE,

Southampton made the rnnning at his best pace, with Paragon, Comte Alfred, Shotover, Quicklime, Marden, and Purse* bearer lying well up, until the Bushes wero reached, where Tom Cannon was observed to be holding Shotover as though in a vice, while all those around were doing their utmost to keep theit places. Down Bushes Hill the issue was reduced to a certainty, bar accidents, and eventually Shotover cantered home a remarkably easy winner from Quicklime and Marden. Pursebearer was fourth and Gareth fifth, Time, lmin. 53secs. Value of the stakes; £5,000. Shotover is by Hermit, from Stray Shot, by Toxcphilite, her dam, Vsga, by Stockwell out of M*ndicant; by Touch stone. Vaga was purchased by Mr Chaplin at the dispersal of Sir Joseph Hawley's stud, and Shotover was bred at Blankney, She is a chestnut, with a star on her face, and stands near 15 hands 2^in., but ska is a wondertully deep-bodied mare, with great muscular development, and is true in her shapes, with uncom monly good legs and" big' open- feet. Robert Feck bought her,for the Duke of Westminster as a yearling tor I,4ooguineas, aud she ran once or twice unsuccessfully as a two-year old. Shotover is engaged ia the Derby, Oaks, St. Leger, and otbar great races. After the Guineas, the filly became favourite for the Derby at 5 to'l, Bruee receding to 11 to 2, and Kingdom to 8 toi. She was also backed to win the treble event of One Thousand, Derby, and Oaks at 14 to I, . THE POT BOILS OVER. The winner of the Two Thouiand Guineas was not destined to retain her. pride Of place as favourite for the Derby long. On the following Friday the Ona Thousand Guineas was tun, and as Shot. over looked well, backers plunged "wildly, laying 4tol on her. The pot, however, boiled over, for St. Marguerite collared her in the dip, and beating her in a few strides, won rather easily by a head, THE CHESTER CUP, In old times, the race for the Cup at Chester was the greatest of all tbe Spring handicaps, but latterly it has much deterio rated, and on th,e present anniversary, though the attendance was. as large as over, the eventot the day attracted scarcely more attention than its fellows.

As they came into the straight Danube and the favourite hung out signals of distrees, and Prnd homme, closing with Pilgrim, drew away without the semblance of an effort from the distance, and won in the commonest of canters by a length ; Retreat, pulling up, was a very bad third, just in front of Brown Bess, fourth; Fiddler was fifth, and Danube trotted in last.
