House of Representatives.

MONDAY.

An extra Bitting of the Houte for the despatch of private members' business took place last evening, and, considering that itie measures to be discussed were not of general interest, there was au excellent at tendance of members. Contempt of Courts Bill. Mr Tols moved the second reading of the Contempt of Courts Bill, and in doing so explained the scope of the measure as already telegraphed. He hoped the bill did not unnecessarily limit the powers of judges, or needlessly impair the legitimate powers of the press in the preservation of impartiality. Mr CoNOIiLY said he entirely agreed with tbe principle of the bill, but he asked Mr Tole, unless there was any pressing f or tho bill to be made law during the present session, whether it would not tie desirable to content himself with aflirmiag the prln. ciple by the House passing the second read, ing, inasmuch as a bill of this kind was before the Imperial Legislature, and it would be wise to tee the fate of that measure prior to legislating oa the subject in this colony. Si Geo. Grky thought that tbe timo had come when we should walk alone and pass our own bills, without waiting to see the result of similar legislation in the old country. Ha therefore truited the Govern ment would allow the bill to go forward this session. Mr FkLdwicic bad every desire to see a short, sharp, decisive measure passed into law at once. He pointed out that at the present time newt paper vroprietors were subject to a good deal of unnecessary an. uojance and expense. Under the exiiting laws, a person might initiate procetdingj against them, send them lawyers' letters and writs, and in the majority of instances take no further action. Legacy Duty on Fublic Bequests The second reading was agreed to with out a division. Sir Gborok Grey, la moving the ohw itable Gifts Duties Kxemption Bill, said tbe object of the bill was to encourage people to make charitable bequests to the nation by relieving them of the butdens they would otherwise have to undertake. Major ATKIKSON said he did not piopogo to oppose the second reading of the bilr, bnt he thought it would require very material altsration in tone, especially in regard to the second clause, which he thought of too wide a character. Mr Kelly did not approve of the principle of the bill. Mr Pkacoce said he had great pleasure in nupponing the bill, believing that it would encourage benevolent persona to make larger bequests to charitable institu. tions than hitherto. Col Tbiublk proteited against the principle of the bill, which be believed would be the means of introducing the thin end of the wedge in the direction of permanent endowments, Mr Swahson snpported the bill, and Ml Holmes suggested amendments of tho second clause. BirGsORGB Gkby replied by remarking that the objections raised were from a mil* understanding of the measure, Tbe second reading was carried on the voices. Election of School Committees. The House theu went into Committee on the School Committees Election Bill in clause 3, providing for the time of com mittees retiring from office. Mr Moss moved the insertion of words to the effect that the clause should not come into opera tion until after the next school committee elections. Mr ste\takd said he was nnable to ac cept the ameftdment, which was nega tived. A motion to strike out clause 4, affecting nominations, was also lost, On clause 6 Mr Mimto moved, "That ths proviso abolishing plural voting ba struck out." The amendment w*« lost by 42 to 9. After considerable discussion, the Corn* mittee divided on clause 16, defining tbe word'" householder." The clause was carrltd by 31 to 17. The remainder of the bill passed without Amendment, though a new clause affect* Ing the committees of new districts «v added, Mr Moss gave notice to move on Wed nesday that the bill do not come into fores till March Ist, 1884.

'Ihe bill was reported, and the House adjoarned at thirty-five minutes past twelve.

TUG ANNEX VTIOS OF NEW GUINEA,

LONDON, July 9. IT is considered probable in well-informed circles that if the Australian Colonies mantain the firm attitude which they have assumed in connection with the annexation of New Guinea, Lord Derby will consent to annexing a portion of that territory together with some islands of the Pacific, ahould jsngland accept this policy, how ever it is hardly likely that »he would ex tend it to the flew Hebrides, as Govern ment appear perfectly willing to allow the French to annex those islands if they desire. At the invitation t>t Sir Samuel WiUon : a number of gentlemen holding Conservative views nut last night at Hughenden Manor, when the question of the annexation of New Guinea was introduced and dl.cuss.d. Mir Samuel Wilson, in the coarse of some remarks severely denounced the action taken by Mr Gladstone in regard to this question. I'.IUDGI y, G THE ESGLISH CHA3NEL. The French Chamber deputies arc en ejawed discussing a bill which provides for the construction of a railway bridge over the English Channel, The bill provides tliat the starting point of the projected bridgo shall be Cape Griesney, a point ton miles torth of Boulogne, and that its termiuUH shall be FnlkeitOMe, a seaport own in the County of Kent, Steel and Co., a well-known Urm of ship builders at Grcenock, have called a meet ing of their creditor?. COLONIAL HAVAL DEFENCES. Lord aidmouth's motion for the produc tion of correspondence in connection with navol forces for the colonies was discussed last night. In the course of the debate, Earl Carnarvon expressed fiu opinion that the whole resp msibility of initiating a scheme of naval defence for the colonies rested with the Imperial Government, whose duty it was to draw up a gentral scheme and submit it to the various colonial Governments. Lord I'erby denied that it was ihe duty of the Imperial Government to take the initiative in such a scheme. He conteaded that as the colonies would be mainly benefited by a thorough system of naval defence, they should first move in the matter, and the Imperial Government might then supplement their efforts. Lord Siamoutb's motion was then negatived. A debate took place in the House of Com mons last si^ht upon a motion introduced by the Hon. H. Chaplin, the subject of which was to place some restriction* upon the importation of live stock from America. The motion waa carried Since the departure of James Carey, the informer, it has transpir.d that bis estate is bankiupt. THE DISASTER ON TUB CLYDE. Efforts to raise the ateamar Daphne, which sank while being launched on the river Cljde, have to far been successful. Eighty bodies have be*n recovered. THE SOEZ CANAL AGifBEMKNT. The " Standard " this morning confirms its previous statement that the English Government had accepted the terms pro. po'.cd by M. tie Lesseps in connection wit u tie construction of the second Suez canal, i subject to certain modifications, England i will guarantee the interest of £8,750,000 capital for construction of the canal. Fro vision has been made for a teduotion of tbe transit dues by 2£ francs per ton. deduc tion will alto be made by the Company of tbe cost of pilotage, the conditional per centage of 20 per cent, being returned ss dividend. In consequence of thi unfavourable man ner in which the scheme for the construc tion of the second Su»z canal has been leceired by the mercantile community of England, lit is probable that M. de Leaieps will abandon the project. Mr Gladstone has pronounced that be will submit the question of the con«tru< J tioa of a second Su»z canal to the Hou«« immediately after the Tenants Compensa tion Bill has been dealt with in Committee. The Government anticipate that they will' be able to make an arrangement with tie Canal Company abolishing half pilot rates in 1886 and the balance in 1887, and reduc ing the transit dues in ISSB. TflE FBE-VCH OUTRAGES ON ENGLISHMEN. LONDON, July 11. The French authorities at the Gaboon rejion of central Afiica on the Gulf of Guinea' have aireated several Englishmen in that loculity, charged with carry log fire arms. The prisoners were brought before the Court and fined for tbe offence, In the House of Lords to-day, Lord Grtnville, Secretary of State for Foreign Affair*, stated that he had com municated with M. Challemel-Laconr with reference to the attempted expul sion of the British Consul lrom T/amatave, and the subsequent seizure ef British Naval officers. M. lacour replied that the French Government was In utter ignorance of what had taken place. In reply to Lord Salisbury, Lord Granville also stated that M. Lacour had expressed the opinion that if the report of the expulsion and seizure were correct, the French Commander had acted in a most improper manner. Lord Granville was asked whether, in view of what had occurred, the English Government intended strengthening the squadron cruising nc ir Madagascar, but he declined in the existing state of affairs to make any announcement as to the Inten tion of the Government. LONDON, July 16. The Government have finally decided to reject the terms submitted by M. de Lesseps in connection with the proposed construction of a second Suez canal. Sir Julins Vogel, In ■ letter to the " Times " this morning, urges England to offer a oertain sum of money for the canal, and compel the promoter! to actept it. It is rumoured that Mr Guilders intends to resign bis oilice of Chancellor of the Ex* chfquer. Lord Bipon, Governor-General of India, has given a denial to the report that be in tends shortly to resign, Replying to a request from France, the Japanese Government have refused to co operate with tbe French authorities in carrying on tho war in Anam, The English Government have decided to grant the Ameer of Afghanistan a pension. The appeal case, Ward v. Rational Bank of New Zealand, has been dismissed, Peterborough Cathedral has been con sidered unsafe for some time, and has now been condemned as absolutely dangerous. The Knglish Government have decided not to enforce quarantine regulations in consequrnce of the spread of cholera in Bpypt. Tbe " Times" has commenced the i«sne of a half-penny evening edition, containing a summary of the morning news. Sir John Pope Hennetsr, late Governor of Hong Konf, who was appointed to suc ceed Sir Geo. Bowen as Governor of Mauritius, arrived at that island yester day. Jr. Worrlswoith, Bishop of Lincoln, baa announced his intention of resigning. LONDON, Jnly 16, It has been decided that the Marquis of Lome shall succeed Lord Bipon as Gover nor-General of India, CHOLERA IN EGYPT. Dr. Hunter has been appointed medical inspector in Egypt. The icare caused by the outbreak of cholera in Egypt is abating, and the English mails will again be landed at Brindisi as usual. The authorities at Damletta have found the cordons which they drew around the town utterly powerless to prevent the disease from spreading, and the cordons have accordingly been abolished. In order to avoid danger of infectiorj tho British troops stationed in towns where the cholera has appeared have withdrawn into the desert, where they are now encamped.
