WfDNESDAY,

Notices of Motion. Mr STEWAED gave n- tfca to a?k Govern ment if they iuteud to proceed further this session with the Alienation of Lands Uili ( and in the event of a negative reply to the foregoing, whether they will intimate to the Honse their reasons for the abandon ment for the second time of a measure which has been hitherto put forward as ope of the leading features of Ministerial policy. Mr Hutchison gave notice to ask Gov ernment if they intended to give the House au opportunity ot discussing papers re West Coa9t native affairs.

Mr Driver gave notice to move to morrow for names of the Committee to whom will be referred the whole question of direct steam service.

An Irregular Debate. A lengthy discussion took place on the report of ihe Petitions Committeeon the peti tion of one Coyle, surveyor, of Dunedini

This petition has been before the House for several years. The report was to the effect that the petition be referred to Gov ernment for special consideration. MrKOLLESTcNohjeotedtotheteportoftho Committee being adopted, but subsequently promised that he would oiTer no objection to the claim being deferred to arbitration. The report was eventually ordered to lie on the table.

The Irish Informers. Mr Pvkk asked whether Government had taken auy steps to prevent the landing of Irish iufortners in N.Z He reminded the Colonial Secretary that these men were criminal < and he considered the BritishGov ernmeat had acted wrongly in sending them to the colonies at all. He noticed that they had a; rived at Australia, und it was not impossible that they would land in New Zealaud at any moment. Apart from the objection to having such men in the colony, tbe authorities would be put to great trouble, as they would be compelled to keep a ordon of men to preserve the lives of these informers.

. Mr Dick pointed out that if informers were to be hounded to death, great crimes would go undetected. He, however, con sidered it objectionable that the British Go vernment should send these people 10 the colonies without first informing the Colonial Governments, The matter was one of con siderable importance, and was under the consideration of Government.

Mr Pyke : If anything is to be done it should be done quickly. French Convicts in the Pacific,

Mr WiiitAKER asked the Government if they had received any information regard iDg the provisions of the Transportation to the Pacific Act recently passed by the Fiench Legislature, and if so, whether they will communicate such information to the House! If not received, will they take steps to obtain it ? He said if the bill re cently passed in the French Parliament really did provide for the transportation of a number of criminals to these Islands, the Government should take some steps in the matter.

Major Atkihs'N said no doubt if such an Act had been passed the Agent-General would cause full inquiries to be made, and no doubt ha would forward every informa tion in due course.

Removal of Prisoners. Replying to Mr Bracken, Mr CONOLLY said that instructions had been issued to gaolers not to inform prisoners of any inten tion to remove them from one gaol to another.

Light at Waipapa Point. Keplying to Mr Bracken, Major ATKIN SON said Government did not intend to erect a temporary light at Waipapa Point, because they had been advised that it would only increase tbe danger. The light for the lighthouse had arrived iv the ship limaru, and would be placed on the tower as soon as it could be sent down.

Jtiotorua Hospital. Replying to Mr Hutchison.MrROLLESTON said provision bad been made for counter acting the corrosive effects of the sulphuric vapours on the iron used in the erection of the hospital at Rotorua. Land Purchase at Kawhia. Sir Gbokge Gkev asked Government if they intend to make inquiry whether Mr Chark-ton is entitled to compensation for purchase of liis land at Kawhia by Govern ment at public auction. Mr KOLLtSTON ieferred Sir George Grey to ihe report of a Committee ot the House in 18G7, mat cluims (or cempensatiou for losses tusaiued during tbe war are not entitled to compensation from the puolic funds.

Sir UKOKGU Gkey said the real point was that Government had purchased land with out informing him that it would shortly be given a great value. The_ first dnty of Government was to protect citizens. Mr KOLLESTON pointed out that the vote for the purchase of the land had been publicly made two years ago. In replying to Major Harris, Mr BitYCE said the police had not been rewarded in connection with the capture of the mur derer ot Miss Dobie, as the work had been performed by the Armed Constabulary, Major Te Wheoro's Maoii Representation Act amendment was read.

" Mansard." Considerable di-cussion arose out of Mr Macandrew's motion, " That in the opinion of tbe House, a single copy of ' Hansard ' shall be sent free by post, on application, to every householder (who is a.registered elector) throughout the colony, and that it be an instruction to the Printing. Debates Committee to make the necessary arrangements accordingly." Mr Dakoaville strongly supported the motion, saying that if the cost (£2,000) came out of the members' honorarium!", it would be advisable to have it done, Mr Shepiia.ru talked the matter oat till the 5 30 adjournment. Gold Duties Abolition Bill. At the evening sitting, on the Gold Duties' Abolition Bill being considered in com. mittee, Mr Mohko moved an amendment on the second clause, with a view to pro. viding that for tbe next 12 months the gold duty should be Is 6d per ounce, instead of Is as proposed, The amendment was nega tived by 40 to 25, and the bill was then re ported. Mr Kolleston opposed the third reading, and called for a division.

The third reading was, however, carried by 42 to 27. Major HABEI9 afterwards moved in com mittee of the whole an address to the Governor in favonr of setting apart a sum for the erection of a wharf at Ilowick.

The proposed vote was strongly opposed by Government, but after discussion in committee was carried by 33 to 32. The resolution was then reported to the House, when Major ATKINSON stated that Goverament could not consent to it, and he asked the friends of the Government to assist him in rejecting it. He pointed out that if the Home once began to grant special votes ot this kind there would be no end to them.

The question was then put that the resolu tion, as reported from the Committee, be agreed to by the House. This, on a divis ion, was negatived by 35 to 34. Duty on vliaritable Bequests. Sir George Gbey's Charitable Gift Duties Exemption Bill was then committed, slightly amended, and read a third time and passed.

The Trust Boards Incorporation Bill. Mr DAEGAVILLE moved the committal of the Religious, Charitable, and_ Educational Trust Boards Incorporation Bill, Mr Sii&ehan moved, as an amendment, that the bill be referred to a committee to consider and report -(1) on the provisions of said bill; (2) the extent, position, management, and present condition of various lands affected by the bill; (3) the desirability or otherwise of the resumption by the colony of so much of such lands as have been obtained by grant or endow ment from the colony ; the committee to have power to call for persons and papers, and to report in three weeks. Mr Oonoi<<a*, speaking as a private member, expressed a hope that the bill would be postponed till next session. Mr Montgombby repelled any attempt to get at the educational reserves by a side wind.

Messrs Holm us, Fish, and others also opposed the amendment. Mr J. E. Brown urged the House to deal with the bill on its own merits apart from the amendment proposed by Mr Sheehan. The Tbeasuber supported Mr Sheehan's amendment with a view of postponing the committal of the bill, and ho would ask the House to consider tbe three divisions of Mr Sheehan's amendment seriatim, when he would move to strike out the third division ; and if he did not succeed in doing that, he would ask the House to reject tbe whole proposal,

m. M the Pan of Government to interfere with the educational reserves of the colouv but he, for one, would not be a party to th? State losing its hold of the direction and supervision of these trusts with a view of securing their proper application. After a lengthy debate, at 1 o'clock Mr Dargaville moved the adjournment till next Wednesday.—Carried. The Hou»e then rose,

CURTAILMENT OF SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.

THE Auckland branch of the .New Zealand Hducational Institnte met at the Wellesley street school last evening. Upwards of 100 teachers were in attendance, Mr Worthing, ton presiding, The chairman, in his opeii« ing remarks, said he looked upon holidays as part of a teacher's income. They were required for recreation and relaxation, which, if rot obtained, they would fail to carry out the laws of health which they ■wore constantly setting before the children, He pioposed the following resolutions, which he suggo t3d should be signed by the chairman, seentary, and treasurer, and as many members of committee as possib'e :— " 1. That the following resolution should be forwaided to Kichard Laishley, Esq., Chairman of the Auckland Board of JKduca. tion, aud copies of said resolution to each and every member of the Beard of Educa tion now resident in Auckland, before the next meeting of the Board, coupled with a respectful request that it may receive their most careful consideration. 2, '1 he mem bers of the Auckland branch of the New Zealand Institute (lately called the Auck land Teachers' Association) havitg learnt that the Auckland Board of Education in tend to alter the regulations now in force in respect to the holidays allowed to elementary schools, respectfully call atten tion to the following considerations—(a) That the regulations now in force respect ing school holidays were resolved on only after long and careful deliberation as to what was most thoroughly beneficial and useful to lo h pupils and teachers, (b) That these regulations have hitherio given, general satisfaction to both pareuti and teachers, (c) That any curtailment of holi pays must be detrimental to the moral and physical welfare of both pupils and jeachera. [d\ That a curtailment of holi days is not in accordance with a late re solution of the Board, that physical train ing, which includes relaxation and lecrea ti»n, should be considered of paramount im portance in elementary schools, (c) That the holidoys hitherto allowed in elementary schools are g'eatly exceeded by those allowed by the Board of Education to secondary schools under its charge, and by all other secondary schools in the same educational district."

Mr Bailey seconded the resolutions.—Mr Harrison suggested a modification of the resolutions, informing the board that the teacher? were desirous of having abolished saints' days and single holidays. He moved, as an addition, " That the hearty thanks of the teachers be tendered to Mr Buckland, and trust that bis efforts to rescind the resolution of the board will be successful.— After some discussion it was agreed to ac cept of the addition, and the resolutions, on being put to the meeting, were carried unanimously. — On the motion of Mr Hart, it was also agreed that the board be te« quested to compare the holidays of this educational district with those in the South of England, aodalso consider the enervating effects of tbe Aucklaud climate, especially in summer.—A vote of thanks was passed to Mr TJuckland for his exertions in behalf of the teachers, which terminated proceed ings.
