nonts of the pill contcndod that it was calcu lated to oiler a premium to ignorance, and ■discourage cultnro and higher education. Mr Moss effectively attached tho latter as sertion, anil appculcd to members if there was not such a thing as learning for learn ing's sake. This sentiment was evidently appreciated by Sir Georgo Grey, who cried "Hear! hear," and applauded it repeatedly. _%eprincipal argument was whether a kno w lodgoof Latin was necessary to lawyers. One •mombor asked if Latin wa.s indispensable to who applied, why was knowledge of it also necessary to tho.=o who made flic law. Sir George Grey's reply was a very eloquent ono, and appeared to carry tlio sympathy of tho House. Tho bill was thrown out by a nnjority of ono. Tho Gisborno Grievances. It is tho intention of Mr Locke to move 'next week for the appointment of <i Select Committee to consider the condition and grievances of the East Coast, and that a petition from that district bo referred to such Committee, to consist of Sir George C.rey, Messrs Wi Pore, Barron, Dargaville, Major Atkinson, Brown, Conolly, Johnston, Ctigg, and tho mover. Mining Legislation. Mr Montcath's Mining Companies Bill provides that _ any person desirous of freeing himself from shares may trans fer tho samo to tho Company, provided he has given twenty-one days notice of his intention to do so, and advertising JJie samo ; that section of the 1572 Act is repealed, and in its place is provided Hint shares on which calls remain unpaid after !I0 days shall bo forfeitable by resolution of the directors. A bill to amend tho Mines Act, which bos been introduced by Mr Seddon, promises that the charge for miners' rights shall be reduced toi 10s; rcdnofcion is also made in the charges for business licenses. Mr Seddon has also introduced n kill providing for tho reduction of gold duty by one-half. Entrance Charges to Public Reserves. Mr Rolleston is preparing a bill in the "utercsts of the cricketers and footballers of the country, providing that payment for admission to recreation reserves on certain days of the year can bo insisted on. Tho bill will bo introduced to-day. It an thoriscs domain boards or other trustees of rectva feion reserves and racecourses to determine by regulation or by-law that on not more that ten days in tlio year any person de siring to obtain admission to such re servo must- pay for admission, and the -trustees may authorise tlio erection of pavilions, and charge for admission thereto. Swooping Away the •« Sweeps." Mr Hart's motion for return ot post ■oltico money orders taken out in favour of certain "sweep" promoters mils agreed to by tho Council yesterday. The list in cluded f!\e names of "Leo" (Mr Kidd), olid "Adainßedo" (Mr Abbott), Auck land, Ono hon. member made the startling proposal that Government should tako chargo of consultations and work them in. tho samo manner as the English Govern ment worked lottories in tlio gootl old <kys. Tho South Son Trading Sohcnio. Thero was an interesting debate in tho Legislative Council yesterday on tho motion for appointing a Committee to encouragoand promote trado between New Zealand and tho South Sens *Mvßeynolds, who moved in tho direction indicated, said n paying trade might bo established, and though Auckland from a geographical position would receivo tho largest share, what benefitted one por tion should benefit the whole. Mr Rich mond thought tho motion was asking ovory taxpayer to tako a share in a consultation for the benefit of Auckland. Tho motion was,howevor,agrecd to.

The Worth Island Railway Committee.

Strong Opposition by Auckland Members.

It is reported that 7 out of the 11 mem bers nominated on the Railway Commission arc in favour of tho Morton route. Auck land opposition is consequently strong. Tho latest rumour is that tho Government intend to lnako tho question a party one. If they do, Sir Georgo Grey, Mr Dargaville, and other Auckland supporters will vote againgst them. Proposed Southern Committee A committee of seven Southern members to decido on the routo for the Northern trunk railway is proposed in order to meet the difficulty which has arisen. I find that while a minority of Auckland members aro disposed to accept of this in preforonce to fie Committeo as at present constituted, the majority aro determined strenuously to oppose any committeo at all, and insist on the Government selecting tho route. All Aucklanders aro pledged to tho Stratford lino.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

The anuual municipal elections for the pur pose of filling up ward vacancies in tho City Councfl aro taking place to-day, but do not appear to be engrossing a great deal of interest. Nevertheless, the various candidates and their electioneering agents are exceedingly activo at their respective polling stations, and numerous vehicles have been pressed into requisition for the pur pose of bringing up lagging voters to the poll. We append a few particulars :— City/ North.—This ward monopolises the l:o i's share of interest, excitement, and artivity fcr the very obvious reason that a duil olection is proceeding therein. Cr. M vrshall ha\ iog resolved notj:o Eeek re elec titn Messr«Chas. Atkin and PeterDignanaro waging a ke~n contest for tho vacant seat, waile Messrs Wm. Buchanan and W. G. Con it illy are simultaneously competing for Cr. Thompson's resigned seat, Mr John King proves an able lieutenant for Messrs Dignan and Connolly, while Mr Adam Porter is displaying on behalf of Mr Atkin his un doubted i a acifcy for elo itioncei lag work. The Temperance Hall is tho polling-station, and the placards of Messrs Atkin and Dignan adorn tho front of it. East Ward.—An ensign projected like an auctioneer's flag from tho privato c ltrance to the Freo Library, and the ap p3aranco of a couplo of placaids on the fonco opposito bearing the names " Hulmo" and "Crowther" are the chief evidences of a contest in this ward. Still Jlr W. Crowther, t le retiring Councillor, is making a strong tight for possession, and Mr Q. Hulmo seems equally determine Ito displace him. Cabs are dashing about for voters, but the pro ceedings are rather tamo.

South Ward. —Tho closest of the con tests is undoubtedly that which is being carried on round tho Catholic Institute for the South Ward Eeit by Mr Alexander Fleming, the retiring representative and senior Councillor to boot, as against Mi- David Goldie, who formerly held a seat in tho Council for a large number of years. It is difficult to speculate with any degree of confidence upon the issue, but the chances seem slightly in favour of Mr Goldie.

Karangahape Ward.—Cr. Stovonron having retired altogether from the Council, two new men compete for the vacant seat, viz., Messrs E. W. Morrison and John Trenwith. .The former has been con nected with district affairs ere Karangahape joined the city, whilo his opponent is a well-known boot and shoe manufacturer. The Excelsior Hall in Upper Pitt-street is the scene of operations, and a good deal of interest is evinced in tho struggle for supremacy.

Grafton re-elected her retiring Coun cillor, Mr J. L. Holland, and Ponsonby lost the chance of rivalry for her suffrages through an informality in nomination whereby Cr. Field was debarred from light ing for the retention of his seat. Mr E. Cooper therefore succeeds him.

THE BRIDGE AT TE AROHA.

Te Aroha, this day. Messrs Hales and Beere, Government Engineers, have been hero to-day inspecting the railway bridge in course of construction, and state there is nothing to prevent it completion within three months. Its com pletion in that time may be possible, but is highly improbable judging by the progress in the past. All work on it is entirely stopped at present, and has been for somo days now.

ATTEMPTED CANNIBALISM,

O.v the 22nd of April tho new mission station at Kabakada, Now Britain, was the s :eno of an attompt on tho part of the most worthless of the native community to revive cannibalism, and somo of tho ringleaders wero :?o-catled church members. A chief had corrupted them by bribery to capture two unfortunates belonging to a neighbour ing tribe, and thoy had succeeded and wero in the act of clubbing them when the alarm was given. The Rev. B. Danks, tho resident missionary, ran to the placs of disturbance, and found to his dismay his Fijian Cateehist Kitioni in tho centre of nn oxcitcd mob of demons, pi-o (citing with hid. porson a youth of sixteen years, who was cut and hacked about, lint yet li-ing ; the reverend gentleman's arrival with his supporters - the new Church members and a white trader—released Kitioni from his perilous position. One of the unfortunate prisoners had been mur dered, and the rescue party secured the body and buried it within the mission grounds. Kitioni had rushed into tho crowd of excited savages with raised spears and clubs, surrounding the poor lad, already terribly wounded, and exclaiming, "No moro cannibalism here," protected him with his own person at tho risk of in stant dia'h,

The "Polynesian Gazetto" advocates tho appointment of Mr J. B. Thurston to tho High Commfssiouership of the Pacific. The ship Earl Wemyss arrived at Lovuka on August 2!), from Glasgow, with tho machinery for tho New Zealand Sugar Company's mill at Ba River.

Captain Hayward on his arrival will bo mot by a white trador of Nannche, who arrived in tho s.s. Gunga from Sydney on Saturday last, for tho purposo of making certain complaints to the High Commissioner referring to tho de struction of his property on that island,"

ROBBERY IN THE WESTERN PARK.

A most impudent robbery, with violence, was committed on Tuesday attornoon at 3 o'clock by three youths, whoso ages range from IS to 22 respectively, named John and Georgo Evans (brothers) and George Head, a notorious larrikin, whoso name is well known to the police. It appears from tho police report, that a respectable woman, Mrs Mary Ann Smith, wifo of 1. boat-builder residing in Cross street, Newton, was passing through the Western Park in broad day light, when she was suddenly assaulted by threo young men, ono ot whom she can identify, who caught hold of her and threw her down, ono holding her arms, an other placing his hand over her mouth, while the third forcibly took her bag from her containing a £1 note, and 17s (id in silvor. The robbers immediately decamped. Sirs Smith gavo information of the assault nnd robbery to tho police, and the prisoners woro arrested yesterday by Sergeant Clarko and Constable Bernard. Ono of tho prisoners has made a partial confession to sharing the plunder. Ono of the youths, Head, is a notorious larrikin, but nothing is known against the Evans's.

Hydraulic Lime.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—However anxious I may be not to utilise tho public press for the purpose of airing private grievances, and although it may bo considered infra diy. to make remarks on a notice of motion bcloi'J being brought before the Council, I am forced, in the interests of the Company I repre s ;nt, to call in question the assertion—viz. that Wilson's hydraulic lime has been proved the b st-made by Cr. Waymouth in his notice of motion, and to which you have given publicity in your valuable paper.

Cr. Waymoutli's motion is ns follows:-"That it having been proved that there are several sorts Of limestones at Maliurangi, and that Messrs Wilsons' i 3 the best, theKngincor boinstructed to specify Messrs Wilsons'limefor all Council work." I entirely deny tho superiority of the Messrs Wilsons' lime ns alleged by Cr. VVayinouth, and a9 far as I am concerned, should be glad if some outside party would make tests, and settle, once for all, the relative values of the different lune3. As far as practical tests arc concerned, I would beg to call Cr. Waymoutli's attention to the fact that tlio foundations for the new Harbour Board Oflices, also Mr Thomas litis sell's Paluicraton Buildings were, made with our lime,'and I defy Ur. Waymouth to produce proofs as to quality superior to those.

Were Cr. Waymouth to make a pilgrimage to his new-found shrine at Maliurangi, and could open Uis heart to visit the other limo works there, he mightfindout the truth of that now immortal adage. "AH Maliurangi limes are not alike." And then possibly he might have somo qualms of conscience as to the assertions in his motion sl'ghtly infringing on the moral law. But per haps Cr. Waymouth has made his discoveries since he was appointed to overhaul the business books of (ho firm he now wishes to have a monopoly of the Council's trade. — I am, etc., J. P. Kidd, ngont Warkworth Comcnt Co., S3, Queon-street. MeS3i-s Bannatync and Co. wiltc in a similar strain. They say:—'' Our quarry is side by sido with theirs, separated only by a boundary line, and wo hold it to be practically impossible that there can be any difference in limes quarried one wilhin an inch of another."

At a meeting of Napier Hospital Com mitteo on Tuesday, personalities of the grossest kind were indulged in, and the proceedings becamo so disorderly that a number of those present " fled the scene," and the meeting lapsed for want of a quorum.

Dumjiii-.', this day.—The man found dead in the Otepopo tunnel proved to be David Aitkin. He was employed on the To Anau, and had proceeded to Oamaru to sco his sister.
