TUESDAY.

The lemperancc Insurance Branch.

At the afternoou sitting, Mr Gr?En asked Government what steps they had taken to carry out tha partial promise made last session to transfer to the Tem perance Branch of the Government Insur ance Department tho policies of total ab stainers who w>:re policy-holders prior to the establishment ot the new branch. Major ATKINSON said he had been anxi ous to give effect to the pattial promise, and the matter was still under the con sideration of Government. The difficulty, however, wai this :—lf they permitted all persoDS who were total abstainers and insured in the ordinary branch to transfer to the other branch, they roignt be trans ferring a large number cf iofener lives, which would clearly be very unfair to that branch. A^ain, it was the experience ot ollicers with regard to persons who had been in a few years that they were superior to the ordinary run of persons outside, so that the proposal would result in unfair ness to both branches. These consider*. tions alone had caused the Department to lrsitate. If, after further consideration, the actuaries could a\ range some fair 'scheme, the transfer would then be per mitted. Telegraphic Charges. Mr I AtNACH a«ked if (he Government were alive to the anomaly now existing by which the compound word "Ne.v Zealand" was charged under the colonial telegraph tarili' as two words, wtile words like "to rhiy" and "to-morrow" were read as one word. Mr Dick replied that it was the rule that when " JV.Z." was written a) two words it was charged as two words, hut when written as one it was only charged as one. Mr SEDDON expressed a hope that the information would be posted at the different telegraph offices throughout the colony. jxew Government Bills, \ After the questions, the House went into committee, and Major ATKIHSON asked leave to introduce the Legislative Officers Salaries and General Assembly Members' Expenses bills. Mr SkddOS inquired as to the nature ot the former bill. Major ATKINSON pointed oat that it wa« not customary to indicate tbe nature of measures on their introduction and firtt Sir GEO. GfiEY said tint the bills aflV cted both Houses, and it was for members to wait 111 the bill was prepared for distribu tion. Sir Geo. Grey stated his opinion that the Committee were entitled to so.r.e in ' formation regarding the naturfl of bills. Major ATKlssosr said, in that case, ibo sooner the Committee granted permission for the bill to be introduced, the soontr they would be placed in posseiaion of tint information, Mr &EDDON said he never knew the Trea surer to have assumed such an attitude b..toro. For all that numbers might know to the contrary, it was possible that the bill might se«k to increase tbe salaries if Legislative officers, aa<J, unless the Govern ment consented to enlighten the Commitue on the Jsubject, he would oppoie the intro duction of the measure. He moved that progress be reported. Mr Holmes said there was a rumoor itlloat outside that the intention of the bill was not only to increase the salaries of ollicers, but al.o the number of tbe officers thi-mselvep. Mr Rolleston reminded the Committee that when the Estimates •erebroaghtdowrj, the Government announced their intention of introducing tbe present bills, the object of which he said was quite clsar, viz., to deal with certain money Items which at present had to be doalt with year by year. Mr DuLadtoub said if the object ot tte bill was to take from tbe control of th» Honse any money items which were now voted year by year, the principle of the dill was bad. Mr Montgomery held that after the explanation of Mr Koileston, it would scarcely be a wise thing to give leave to the Government to introduce the measure. For himself he did not think it was necessary to withdraw from the control of the iiousa the talarics of Legislative officers. Major ATKINSON remarked that if he had any idea that the House desired infoimation b.tore concession to introduce those hills (a most unusual thins; with Government bills), he would have had them before him a»d read out tbe particulars. The bills were merely introduced in accordance wilh what the Government believed to be the desire of the House to have the salaries of Legislative officers and members of tbe General Assembly placed on a permanent footing, lie denied that he had been wautiug in courtesy towards the House, i After further discussion, tbe motion to re port progress was negatived on the volc-s, and the bll was formally introduced and • read a first time. On the question that the report of the Committee that leave be given to in'roduce the General Assembly Members' KxpeDSfS Bill ba agtced to, Mr Sediiqn intimated j his iatintiou of moving in committee on the bill to strike out certain words so as to reuder the measure applicable only to the members or the House of Representa tives, and n t to members of the UppT House. The question that the report of the Com mlttea be agreed to was passed after a division, and the motion was carried by 45 to 9. The bill was then introduced aid formally read a first time. on the motion of the Kativa Minister, the Native Commons Bill was also intro duced and read a first time. Several unopposed motion for returns were carried. federation and Annexation, Mr Rolleston returned the debate on the Pacific Islands annexation question, ex pressing the hope that the Hoo>e would see i its way to affirm the recommendation of the Committee on this subject, the nature of which ii ulresdy known. Colonel Thimble opposed tbe motion. Mr PEACOCK gave it a qualified approval, and said he would be in favour of it if it could be shown that the expense would be moderate. Sir Wvnn Williams followed In a similar strain. Mr Montgombby urged the Treasurer to rubmit the resolution of tbe Annexation Committee for consideration instead of endeavonrlna to carry the report as a whole. Major Atkinson had no objection to this, and with a view to this being done, the motion standing in his name was with drawn, and the debate on the proposal was adjourned till Thursday. The Native x>and vompany's BiU. Two petitions were presented by Messrs Bryco and Sheehan, respectively against the passing of the Native Lands Settlement Bill, tbe second reading of which was first business on the Order Paper. When the matter was called on, the COLowiAL Treasurer reminded Mr Do LMitour of his promise lost week not to persevere with the bill if after a week's adjournment of the second reading the Government decided to oppose if, The Government, he said, had carefully considered tho matter, aod had come to ths conclusion that, looking to all the circumstances of the ca?e, it would not be desirable for the bill to proceed further. He hoped, therefore, that Mr DeLautour would see his way to withdraw the bill. Mr DeLautour : As I always like to keep my word, I beg to move that the order be di charged, The bill was accordingly withdrawn. The House then rose for the usual 5.30 adjournment.

Indemnity to Dummyism Wit nesses.

The measure introduced by Mr Eol« leston at the instance rf the Otage Dum myUm Committee is called the Parlia* mentary Witnesses Indemnity Bill. Mr ROL^HSTON, in moving the second reading of the hill at the evening sitting, said that its object wrs to indemnify wit nesses, who might criminate themselves be fore a select o mmittee. The second reading was agreed to, and the hill pus-ed through its remaining stages with an unimportant amendment, A Question of Privilege- Sir George Grey said he wished the consideration of tbe House on n matter of privilege. Iv one of the peti tions agtinst the Land Company's Bill, certain accusations bad been made against the promoters of the measure, lhe words he obj ctcd to were these: —"That the afores.id bill has not bad sufficient publi city given to tt to afford the inhabitants of the colony an epportnnity of fully com prehending the dangerous results after it bos become law." This has been purposely kept secret, in order that it might be hur ried through its Parliamentary stages in an unconstitutional manner. None of the members at his (Grey's) end of the Honse had heard a s'ngle word of the petition when it was lead, and consequently they could

not rise to refute these accusations. What he wished the speaker to do was to inter fere and prevent tbe petition from being published in "Hansard" and going forth to the country -with th« stamp of Parliament upon it, Hn did so because he found that another peli. tion mach worse than the present one had been published in " Hansard " under sitnU lar circumstance?, The Spbakbr said he was quite surprised to find that the petition last referred to had been published in " Hansard." It waidone without his authority, or tbat of the Cletkof Parliament. Mr BRYCE was astonished to find that be. cause a petition had been read to the House it would not be published. It had been deemed necessary, as a matter of course to publish it in "Hansard." After farther discussion, tbe Speaksr said he would give instructions in fatnre tbat petitions read by the Clerk should not be put in " Hansard." Committee of Supply. Tho House went into Committee of Supply, the estimates of the Minister of Justice Department being considered, The votes of £715 for Minister's wifice, £2,27 9 Crown Land Ollioo, £225 I'atcnt office, and £7,G80 Supreme Court.were passed without discussion. In regard to the vote of £49,907 for])i s , trict Resident Magistrate and Wardens Courts, some discussion ensued. Mr IiiORGE drew the attention of the Hou*c to the fact that there had been an evasion of the law in the mutter of the sal-iry ot the K.M. at Collini>word and Takaka. The gentleman who held that office had been a member of the House, and as it was illegal that ex-members should hold a position of profit under the Crown until a certain time after ceasing to be a member had elapsed, he had been appointed last year without a salary. (. n this year's Estimates, however, last year's salary had been made up in the tlupeof travelling ex. pentes. A discussion ensued, and the amendment was passed as printed. The salary of the K.M. at Ashburton was reduced by £100, and the travelling allow;. ance of the Magistrate at Tiinaru vsasre. duced from £150 to £100. In regard to the vote of £1,200 for criminal prosecutions, includiug fees to Crown solicitors and prosecutors, tome dis. cushion took place, it being argued tbat it would be cheaper to pay Crown Prosecutors in large centre* at fixed salaries. The vote was passed as printed; also the vote of £3,000 (or expenses of inquests. This latter vote called from members the sugges* tiou tbat the inquests on many deaths and fi.es were unnecessary, and should not bs held, bnt the MINISTSBOJ Justice said this must be left to the dl». cration of coroners. In the Prisons Vote £3,888, the allowance in lien of quarters of £100 to the Inspector of Prison* was struck oat, Mr Shkehan moved that tbe rote ot £1,100 for the central prison at Mount Cools be struck out.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The annual meeting of tbe Devonport branch of tbe Werioyon Methodist Foreign Missionary Society was held in the chapel last evening, Owing to the stormy weather prevailing, tbe attendance was small, The Rev. G. Spence presided, and gave an in« teresting account of tbe missionary field occupied by tbe Society in the South Sea Islands. The results which bad fol lowed the efforts of tbe Rev. George Brown were marvellous. The Rev. Mr New. port then delivered his promised address upon "Missionary Enterprise ia India," He commenced by stating that it was necessary for the dcvelopement of its spiritual life that the Church should engage iv mission work. To give an idea of the extent of the field of labour, the popula tion of India exceeded by 50 times that of tbe South Sea IsJauds, including New Guinea and l'iji. In preaching to the. heathens in India, ibe missionary has no fixed place of meeting, but goes in search of the people. He will sometimes commencs as rvice with only two or three listeners, and in five minutes time "he may have a congregation of five hundred. I Questions and objections pour in from all sides, and the preacher requires to be very cß'eful with replies. The mo-t important question he ssid was : "How does the , work prosper ia India?" The reverend gentleman said that, as the result of mis. gionary toil, they could now show 529,000 native Protestants, During the decade, 1871-81, whilethe population of India bod la. creased 6 (six) per cent., the number of Chris, tians had increased 86 (eighty-sis) per cent. There was a great deal to do, and com* . paratively few labourers were in the field, All the workers (European and native) put together only numbered 4,399, which pro. portion was not equal to one missionary to the whole population of Auckland. Mr Newport closed his interesting and instrno tive address with an appeal for the prayers - and sympathy of all Christian people.

THE ORANGE ANNIVERSARY.

(To the Editor.)

Hik,—Tbe intended offensive production of yonr correspondent "Pax" is really the moat absurd rubbish I have ever read. Some people have an itch for serlbling, sn are ever ready to jump at the first op. Sortimity in order to gratify their ambitious esires. The chance has presented itself for this famous correspondent to distingnlstt himself. Alas for tbat fame that has all those years past been dormant, and how cruel to find historic facts so sadly ont of order I What on earth is he talking abont whea he says that tbe Dutch whipped their forefathers, &c ? lam only aorry some of those Dutch are not alive to whip yonr correspondent for distorting historical facts. Why, any schoolboy knows better than this, Shame on yonr correspondent for falsely maligning these men, who can* not answer for themselves. Unmask yonr* self, "Pax," and let me know who you really are; snd let us by argument, and not abase, appeal to the ever fair judg< ment of a generous public opinion, Methinks I sniff the trail of a Romish serpent, ever ready to traduce the Orange Society, and the kind, genial Dr. Maunsell. But no matter. I will prove to him that if the Pope likes the Orange colour, the williamites dearly love the green: for did they not wears green sprig in their hats at the Boynel—lam, &c, Bally Kilbbbg. I [Other letters on this vexed subject. from "A Roman Catholic," "Troth, '• An Orangeman," nnd " Royal Arch, have been received, but ore desclined for want of space. The correspondence mast be considered closed.-BD, E.S.]
