Guiding Lights for Manukau Maruour,

Mr Hamlin asked the Commissioner of Customs whether he has received, and if not whether he will take, the opinion of nautical men upon the propriety of having guiding lights placed at the tfanukau Heads to as to enable vessels to enter and leave the harbour at any time of high water during the night time. He said the trade of the port Wss yeany growing. Last year 100,000 nns of shipping bad entered that port, and there were great complaints at tLe vessels beiDg unable to enter at night, in conse quence of the want of guiding lights, which had elsewhere been found to apt well. He trusted that the Government, iv considera tion of the increasing trade of the port, and the fact that the Union Company were1 now running fast steamers to that port, would iiicrcase the facilities for entering at all hours. Major ATiassoNsaid the matterhadbeen under the notice of the Government last year, and cartful inquiry had been made by the Marine Department and Harbour master, The latter was of opinion that the project would lead vessels Into danger, Mr HAMLIN aiked Major Atkinson to lake the opinion of masters of vessels trading to the port. They were in the habit of entering the port at night, of course at considerablerisk, as there were no guiding lights. Major Atkinson promised to make in* quirlei, Sunday Trading Laws. Mr Pilliet asked Government whether the Minister of Justice will introduce this session a bill dealing with Sunday trading, with a view of sotting at rest the doubts entertained as to tbe valid existence in the colony of the English Act of Charles 11., the proviilons of which are generally abso> lute, and cannot be carried oat with judicial decency. Mr Conolly could scarcely understand the latter portion of tbe question, but, be sidei the Act of Charles 11., thsro were ordinances in Auckland and Otago beating on the subject, At no distant date "tfi* Provincial ordinances would have to be con sidered with a view to consolidation, and consideration to this matter would be given at the same time. The Kea Nuisance. Mr Fergus aiked what course Govern ment intend talcing to abate the kea nui sance. Be said that one-third of the lambs in the mountainous regions of Ot»go were annualy killed by this bird, Mr kolleston replied, threugh the In spector of Sheep and Rabbits, that Govern ment might do something in the matter of giving a subsidy for the destruction of these birds. He ssid th«y might be decreased by capturing and wounding the kea. the cries uttered by the wounded bird attracted others of the ipecies round in great num bers, when they could easily be killed, Penny Postage System. Mr Fish, In asking if the Postmaster- General will consider tho propriety of intro duoiog the penny postage system, said the time had now arrived when something should be dove in this direction, as most of the other colonies had reduced their postage to a penny. Mr Dick repliod;that the matter hid bean cons'dered from time to time for some years, but the Government hid not teen their way to making the reduction. The hon. gentleman was in error in stating that most of the other colonies hat adopted the penny postal system. The fact was that Victoria only had nude the reduc tion, and had lost £60,000 per annum through it. Were the reduction made in this colony, there would be an annual loss of £20,000, which it would take Un years to make up. The colony could not afford so much at present. Wharf for Eowick. Major Harris has named August Bth as the date tor moving his resolution re making provision on the Estimates for to erection of a wharf at Howick, Flax-Making in Prisons. Mr C. J. Johnston's motion for a Select Committee to inquire whether prison labour can, with advantage to the State, be em. ployed in the manufacture of New Zealand ilax for export, was carried. Mr Johnston, who has given considerable attention to the matter, said he was hopeful that the result of the Committee's labonrs would be the demonttration of the fact that this conld be made to pay without interfering with existing trades. It would find em ployment for both male and fcnulc prisoners, and would provide freight for vessels leaving the colony. The Education System. On Mr Fyke's motion, a Select Com mittee was appointed to consider and report on any petitions presented to tbe House alleging grievances resulting from the exist ing system of education. Control and Maintenance of Hospitals. Mr BUTTON moved, "That in the opinion of this House, it is necessary that permanent provision 'should be made for the erection and maintenance of hospitals; , that provision be made for the elec tion of local boards of governors, whe shall have ■ tho entire control of hospitals and hospital buildings, and shall be empowered to invest any funds , which may bt> placed at their disposal for the benefit of their local trust: that the Board shaft be entirely independent of Gov ernment control .except as regards medical > inspection ; that the necessary funds for either buildings or maintenance bo piovlded ' locally; that Government be requested to bring in a bill thii session fa accordance with these resolutions." Mr Button dwelt on the unequal working of the existing sy stem, and expressed the hope thst Govern ment would bring down a bill thii session to deal with the question In a satisfactory manner, Mr Fish could not agree with that put cf the resolution which proposed that the , whole of the funds for erection and maintenance of hospitals should he raited locally, He pointed out that the centre of population meeivod a large num ber of cases which did not properly belong to the locality itself. At the same time, he concurred in the opinion that hospitals should be put on a more equitable basis than at present. Mr Barron moved that the motion be amended by striking oat all words after " that, in the opinion of this House, it is necessary that permanent prevision be made tor the erection and maiintenaoee of hospitals," substituting the following :— "and charitable institutions, by setting aside a million acres of down lands by way of endowment, in accordance with the bill passed in 1880." Mr SuTTOSt disagreed with the proposed amendment, which he thought was- al together going beyond the resolution, Mr RoLTJESTON said he was unable to perceive the meaning or practical effect of Mr Barron's proposal, Mr Fitzgerald could not support either motion or amendment, but thought steps should be taken to place hospitals on a more satisfactory basis than at present. Mr Macandhew supported the amend ment. Co'onsl Trimble rrgretted [that Mr Rolleston had not dealt with the motion itself instead of confining himself to the proposed, amendment, For himself, he could not sco that any practical benefit conld be derived from carrying Mr button's motion, and he would oppose any change cither in the direction of the motion or amendment. Mr Fyke stated that the proportion of charitable aid per head, as compared with the population in the four principal provincial district?, was as follows :— Otago, 51s 2d pec head; Canterbury, 2s 3d; Welington, Is fid; and Auckland, Is 3d. How was it, he asked, that the same liberty which had been shown to Canter bury by Government had not been shown to tbe other districts ? He felt inclined to support the resolution, so far as the first sentence was concerned, Mr WATT held similar opinions. Mr Dick did not agree with an opinion that had been expressed during the debate, to the effect that all endowments in the colony should be resumed, though no doubt there were some endowments which might be resumed, It had been intimated that a sum of £26,000 would be obtainable from the endowments now proposed, but he pointed out that there appeared on tho Esti mates this year £80,000 for hospitals and charitable aid. Canterbury alone required £20,000, which appeared a very extraordi nary sum for such s rich district. Otago took the lead among provincial districts in endeavouring to support hospitals, Dunediu hospital being entirely aclf -supporting, He

was unable to support Mr Sutton's motion though in some respects it had his svm pathy. •>"" • Mr O'CALLAOHAN urged Mr Banon to withdraw his amendment, as it was alninlv taking money out of one pocket and pultini it in the other, h Mr Thomson would support the motion in preference £o the amendmuit, bat he looked forward to the time wheu hospitals would be sustained by the local bodie*. Mr Munro thought a member of" the Government should be placed on the Com. mittee. * The debate was interrupted by the 5 30 adjournment. Amendment of the Election Petitions Act. At the evening sitting, Mr Ivess moved the second reading of the Election Petitions Act 1880 Amendment Bill, and in doing S n referred to the trouble which candidates were put to last election through being held responsible for the mistakes of g O v. eminent officials. He pointed out that ]n other Cour s there were higher Courts of An. peal, but from the decision of tbe judges cf the Election Petitions Court tnerc was no appeal. He thought the Crown shonld exercise more discretion in the appointment of Returning Officers. It might be urged that there was no choice, through all tha elections being held on the same day but he pointed out that it was not necessary that Jocal men stould be appointed reeia. tras. Referring to last election, he earn in some instances Returning Oflicers bad not acted impartially, Reference was made to the nunibei of "close linisheg" of last election, many of which he asserted could easily have been upict, as he bimsell had upset the Wahanui election, if the votes bad been carefully scrutinised. He said the rolls were so clumsily compiled' that there could be hardly any doubt but that frequently two or three persons of the tame name and same occupation voted, enly one of them btiDg entitled, One evil which the bill would remedy was this: Under the existing law, if elections were declared void, no new election could be proceeded with till after the appointment of the Speaker of iia Home, which practically disfranchised tha constituency lor half a session. He pointed out that the bill tnrew costs on tbe Govern ment should they declare an election void. Mr Smith, of Walpawa, in seconding the second readiDg, related bis experience in contesting the Waipawa seat. When the Returning Officer was a political partisan, that officer had improperly kept voting pap-rs back for six week*. Mrfc-BTTOKspoke feelingly in favonrof the bill, a petition against his election having cost £52. Mr DICE assented to the second reading of the bill, the main point of which he said was that Government should pay for the laches of Returning Officer*. Government had not been consulted by tbe hon. gentle man who introduced the bill as to that clause, and Government would have to consider that portion of the bill subsequently. That clause was against the report of the Election Committee of last session-that the Crown could not be held lo.ponsible for the mistakes ot Returning Officer*, and be, personally, did not think that the clause should become law. ■ Mr Habbis did not agree with Mr Dick. He (Mr Dick) saw the matter in the light of a successful candidate, but unsuccessful candidates could not ace it from that stand point In bis case the Returning Officer selected for the second election was the solicitor who had acted for his opponent iv the hearing of the election petition. If anything would thamo a government, that appointment would. But it did not, and he had found that greater wrongs did not sbame them. He suggested that iv future on cases of election petitions judges should be moved! about, as he did not believe in judges who knew tbe candidate? hearing the petition. Mr Siieehan strongly supported the bill and urged tbe Government to accept the responsibility of the mistakes of < returning officers. Under the present law It was scarcely possible to turn with* out breaking the law. Last election can* dldtftes had been blackmailed, and next •lection and the one alter that they would • find gentlemen thriving on candidate*. Members would soon find such persons ad. vortlslng "A. 8., Petition Agent and Broker." The second^ reading was carried on tho voices.

The Constitution Amendment Act.

Sir Gso. Grey, in moving the second reading of tbe Constitution Amendment Act Kopeal Bill aaid that at the time of the first reading a long aebate had taken place -such as usually took place on the second reading. On this occasion he would . simply content himself with replying to the arguments that might he adduced against . the measure. Major ATiUKSON expressed regret that • Sit George Grey had not given reasons why they shouid repeal the Act, yvMcd, iv hla opinion, was shearing themselves of prlvi* t leges they already possessed, Mr Teimblb said at the time of the:, first reading a dlscus.iion had taken place on Sir George Grey's right to iutroduce tho bill, but the merits of the bill itself had not been gone into, nor did the bill disclose the benefits it would give to the colony, and now Sir George Grey sat down and waited to hear what members had to say about " this piece of waste paper," which should at once be relegated to the waste paper basket. As Kir George -Grey wa» trilling with them, he moved that tho bill be read that day six months. Mt SHGFHEBD argued tbat the bill before the .House would be repugnant to the Constitution Act Amendment Act—3B | and 39 Viet If a measuie had been brought in that wonld test the matter in some other way, a bill that would have had a chance of being assented to by the House, he wonld have supported it Sic Gkoiu!e Gkey rose and spoke to tho

amendment, ilo repeated the arguments ha j used at the fint reading. He said that tfas Act which be was desirous of repealing was pasted under peculiar circunistancsß, and an effort was being made to I den toy it, as it was too liberal : for many minds. He could ahow ' tbat an effort was mode to induce Mr Labonchere to destroy provinces, by I making him interfere between the provinces and the General Gorernment, but Me I Labouchere declined, and shortly after tha Act here referred to was passed.
