POLITICAL JOTTINGS.

<HY TICLKOUAIMr.-SPECIAL ItEPOUTfCi:.)

WklliSiiTOX, this day

Swearing in of Members,

Tub new Ministers, with tho exception of Sir George Whitmoro (wfiois absent at Cis borno, but returns in the Kolomahaun), were sworn in on Saturday afternoon. Mr Stout, who had arrived about one o'clock in the tug-boat Lyttelton, presented them to ITis Excellency. Lobbying. Nothing is stirring in the lobbies except rumours of defections from the one side to the other. These aro industriously circu lated by whips and supporters ; but most of them are pure fictions.

Expected Eofest of tlic Government

The " Post" of Saturday night has an article quoting the precedent of the If nil Government for a Ministry in a minority holding office until they have had an op portunity of laying their policy before tho country. This is significant of two things — firstly, that the "Post," which has been filling the rolo of advocato of tho new Ministry, believe the Government are In a minority: and secondly, that if a want-of confidence motion is tabled on tho Address in-Reply, they will stave oil' the division as long as they can in the hope of repeating tho feat which made the four Auckland member.-' so memorable.

The Atkinson Organ on tlio Situation

Tho "Times" to-day commonts on the "Post" article. It notice.-; the extra ordinary change that has come over the " Post," and other champions of Sir Julius Vogel sinco the formation of tho Cabinet, and says:—"The 'Post' after having at the outset placed such explicit confidence in his ability and sound judgment, might have trusted him a little, further, and have credited him with a display of profound wisdom in his distribution of portfolios. Surely so great a political genius could not bo guilty of a huge blunder at the opening of his second career in New Zea land, i'et on Saturday we find the ' Post' holding forth in tho following strain :—' Wo doubt whether any Government over assumed ollice with a more decided [mblie opinion against it than tho ono which will coininenco its Ministerial career on Monday. Thero is no denying the fact that both in tho House and throughout tho country intense dissatisfaction exists, and we very much doubt whether even the Ministers elect are satisfied with each other.'" Tho "Times" then notices the threat that tho Ministry may attempt to hold office against a majority of the House, and goes on to show that there is a material difference be twoen tho circumstances under which Sir John Hall took ollice and those of the Yoyol Ministry. In the former case, they went in after the Grey Ministry had been defeated 011 tho Addrcss-in-Rcply, while Sir Julius Yogol has an opportunity of submitting his policy in tho Speoch, and can therefore be fairly tried on that. Tho Grey-Atkinson Knvjproehement. Sir George Grey may often be seen in the Opposition whips' room, which is also used by ox-Ministers and their supporters.

Union of Auckland Members.

Your forecast of the results of the elec tion has proved literally true. By the in terposition of Sir Julius Yogel, old party lines havo been shattered, and all the Auckland members aro now working harmoniously together as ono compact phalanx. With judgment and good management, this will guarantee Auckland against loss through the reicn of a Southern Ministry, and is already bringing about a better feeling among our members than os'or before existed.

Petitions to Parliament.

Petitions continue to pour in upon mem bers, though they have yet no opportunity of presenting them. By yesterday's mail Mi' Dar«avillo received one from llr Jlickey, of Thames, claiming a land grant for serviced in tho NVaikato Militia. Hon. Mr Dignan has received a number of peti tions from Waikato for presentation to the Legislative Council praying for the amend ment of tho Education Act Arrival of Notables. Three notables arrived by yesterday's steamer, viz., Colonel Whitinore, Mr Ormond, and ex-Judge Fenton.

Mr Ormond Supports the Ministry.

It is understood that Mr Ormond will support tho Ministry in the early port of tho session at least for the development of their policy. Strenuous exertions are being used to get over other votes, but as yet without success.

Slioep-Dipping at Onehunga.

I should have mentioned last ■week that Mr Haralin accompanied Mr Buckland in tlio interview1- re sheep-dipping at One hunga, and has been using his influence to have the restrictions modified.

Ex-Judge Fcnton's Mission,

Ex-Judge Fenton comes down with ft private bill giving the Rotorua native power to deal with their own lands as they please ; the object being to enable them to carry out their wish to endow Hie Rotorua railway. Postal Reforms. Mr Hamlin interviews Mr Gray, of the Postal Department, in reference to the establishment of money order offices at Tuakau and Bombay. Hedoes not, however, expect anything will be done in the matter until the Ministry are properly in harness. Proposer and Seconder of tho Addross in-Keply. Mr McKenzie is to propose the Address in-Reply. Mr Samuels, of Taranaki, was asked to second it, but declined, though he will probably vote for the Ministry until the Financial Statement is deliyered. Efforts have been made to get Mr Fit/.hcr bert. Wellington, to second the Address, but it is understood he continues opposed to the Government. Meeting of Goldficlds Members. At a meeting of goldfields members, twelve out of fifteen were present, Mr Seddon being Chairman. The only subject discussed was tho abolition of tho gold duty. The following resolution, moved by Mr Vincent l'yke, and seconded by Capt. Morris, was carried unanimously:—"That a deputation of golJfiolds representatives wait upon tho Minister of Mines to request that Government will bring in a bill to abolish tho gold duty so far a3 the South Island is concerned, and that a remission of tbo duty be mado permissive in the Nortli Island." The following wero present:— Messrs Seddon, I'yke, Cowan, Whyte, Hursthouse, Fraser, Bevan, Mentoath, Cadman, McKenzie, Morris, and Guinness.

THE LATE RAINS.

Damage to To Aroha Tramway and Thames Water-race.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.)

Cambridge, this clay. A TELEGRAM has been received here from the manager of Te Aroha tramway this morning to tho efiecft that the late rains havo done damage to the tramway to the extent of £100. This is bad news to the Pinko County Council, who contemplate leasing it, the lessee to pay for all repairs and repair all damages.

Thames, this day. The County race has been damaged by a landslip at l'arawai, and tho water supply to tho batteries and Queen of Beauty pumps lias consequently been stopped, but will bo restored to-night.

LATER.

GREAT FLOODS AT TJE AROHA,

Te Akoha, this day,

Tlicro lias boon a continuous and heavy downpour of rain for the past threo days and nights accompanied by heavy gales, and the result is one of the greatest Hoods remembered in tho district. All tho low - lying land is covored for miles on both sides of the river. The railway bridge in course of erection stood it well, but a considerable loss of timber, cement, and other material occurred. Tho Damage to the Tramway. Several slips haxe occurred on the tram way which will probably take most of the week to set right with a good number of men at work. The worst occurred in tho heavy cutting near Inverness mine where the cutting ia filled up, and large quantities of earth have gone over and into the gully beneath. ________

The illuminated testimonial from the Jewish residents of Auckland to Sir Moses Montafiore, offering him their congratu lations on the celebration of his hundredth birthday, was on exhibition at Upton's to day.

THE RINGAROOMA AGROUND.

Exciting Scone.

Passengers and Mails Sent Off in Boats,

(BY TKr.Klilt.U'l!

— OWN UORRKHI'ONIIKNT),

CllKlsTiUH'UL'll, this day. A:; examination of the Kingarooma shows that four or live platcu on the port side about the bilge arc dented. M foot of the keel and forefoot, arid about 10 feet of her stern, with a proportionate quantity of that part of tho vessel comprising the collision bulkheads, are carried away. Captain Tozer's report states : —Sailed from Port Chalmers for Lyttelton at 4A5 p.m. on Friday; crossed the bar at 5.20 p.m., the weather being fine. Nothing of noto occurred till 11 p.m., when the fog commenced to rise. At mid night ordered the fcg whistle to be kept going, and examined part of tho log, which showed a record of 7- miles. At :i a.m. it showed 107 miles. At 4 a.m., the fog having become very dense, put the engines "dead slow." At 5 a.m. the log was again examined, and recorded 11") miles. •Altered the course half a point off to clear the land : fog still very thick. At r>.,">() a.m. the vessel struck. Immediately sounded tho hold, and found no water either in tlio main or after com partments. Had the boats swung out and provisioned ; put all the passengers, mail ■ bags, anil whatever valuables were on board into tho boats. The second officer was put in charge of ono, and the other was under the care of the purser. These were ordered lo proceed towards Akaroa south waul and gain the harbour. After tho boats had left and got well clear, wo made tho first attempt to get her off. Put tho engines " fullspeed astern,"buttvilhout suc cess, so stopped them. After a few minutes again tried theenginesastern,and with better effect, the steamer coming oil. On getting her afloat, tried her again, and found she was making no water, so I stopped tho boats, calling thorn back, and took them aboard with the passengers and mails. Shaped a course for Lyttelton, tho weather still continuing very thick. Arrived at Lyttclton wharf without mishap at 1 p.m.

Wki.un'oton', Sunday.—With refcroneo to the s.s. Ringarooma going ashore at Akaroa, it is believed that she sustained such damage to her hull that she could not leave Lyttelton lust night. It. has accord ingly been arranged that thcßotorua, which left Wellington at 1 p.m. yesterday for Lyttelton and Dunedin, shall turn back from Lyttelton immediately on arrival, bringing up tho mails and passengers, with which it is expected tlio Wanaka will bo able to leave this port for Onehunga early on Monday morning. Tho mails and steamer's detention at Auckland will, therefore, probably not exceed twelve hours.

SHOOTING ACCIDENT AT KAITAIA.

MAORI SHOT BY A SETTLER.

Ahoitt 10 o'clock this morning Constable Moar, the police officer in charge of the Mongonui police district, and who arrived hue on Friday last in chatgc of three prisoners, received a telegram from Mr Robert Wyles, J.P., of Mongonui, stating that " a young man named Larmar, residing at Kaitaia, 25 miles from Mongonui, had shot at and dangerously wounded a native." The telegram also stated that, in the absence of Constable Moar, a native constable named Billy Wright had been sent to investigate the ufl'air. Larmar is about 2-t years of age, and resides with his parents, who belong to the farming class. He is highly respected in the district.

The inference, of course, drawn from this telegram was that young Lamar had attempted to murder the native. The vagueness of the message, however, im pressed us with the necessity of knowing more about it before submitting it to our readers a " real live sensation," so wo telegraphed to Mr Wyles on our own account, asking him to favour us with a full account of the "attempted murder," and Mr Wyles has complied with our request in the following terras : —

"A settler's son at Kaitaia, when out pigeon shooting, mistook an old native in a stooping position collecting flax, for a pig, and tired at him. Tho distance was about fifty yards. The native is not much hurt.

DRAWBACKS TO SETTLEMENT IN QUEENSLAND.

(KIIOM OUK OWNUORBKHI'ONIiKNT.)

No. I. Toowooim.v, Queensland, July 28, I SSI. I cannot concoivo that settlers would pro tor Queensland to New Zealand if tho choice of tlio two colonies wero honestly put beforo thorn. But, of counse, in tho vast majority of instfjßcos thoi'O is no actual choice. Tliu intending emigrant from tlio old country Ims nothing but tho statements of interested parties to judge by, and that colony is pitched upon by him which can point lo the brightest and most highly-coloured description. lam certainly of opinion that the intending settler would avoid Queensland if ho were made aware of the actual facts. But he is informed that tropical fruits, j sugar, maize, cereals of all kinds, colVee, arrowroot, and what not, can all bo raised : ! that tho cost of living is not much in ! advance of what he has been accustomed j to; and then it is pointed out that the i assisted passage to Brisbane by steamer is ! only i' 7, and that is decisive. The glowing ' picture fascinates him, hois full of hope and i expectation, and believes ho is bound to a ! veritable land of gold. Me is speedily un- j deceived on landing, especially if he : happens to arrive in tho summer. The heat of the Queensland climate is one ! of its greatest drawbacks. Meteorological i figures convoy but a poor idoa ; butl append I those for Brisbane February is the most I oppressive mouth of the year. The mean j shade temperature is 77 dogrees; tho j maximum ii> shado being 102 degrees, and the minimum Gl degrees. Think of what a ; hundred and two in tlio shade must be, j and if it is that in Brisbane, what must it ] bo six hundred oi1 a thousand miles nearer the equator '! It makes one sweat lo think of it. The coldest month is July, and then ; the mean shade temperature in ;"iS degrees ; the marxinuun in shade being 7!> degrees, j anil tho minimum ,'i"i degree*. These art) ; tho .statistics for LSS'J, wlieu July was nil her cooler than usual. 1 was in Brisbane about tho middle of May last, anil to me, j just arrived from Auckland, tho utmos- 1 phet'o was unpleasantly warm. At tho town from which I write (and which 1 shall endeavour to describe in another letter), the winter temperature is about tho same as that of Auckland, though, if anything, it is rather colder. We havo had numerous white frosts in (lie mornings, followed by clear bracing days, with, how ever, a warm sun at mid-day and during tho afternoon. lam told that tho summer heat is not much less than that of Brisbane, though nights and mornings are cool. I should state that Toowooiilba is situated '2,000 feet above tho sea level, and about 80 miles from the coast in a south-westerly direction from Brisbane. j Ono of tho accompaniments of a hot climate is fever, and Queensland is a fever si ricken country. Wherever ycu go you hear of its ravages. During the summer and autumn last past Brisbane has been visited with an epidemic of typhoid, and nearly every other town in the colony Ims been similarly troubled, i am not in a position to give more than two or throe corroborating figures respecting the ex tent of tho visitation at Brisbane; but during tho two fortnights ending 17th and 31st May five and three typhoid patients respectively succumbed to tho disease in the Hospital there. During the week ending July sth no less than seven died. But the fever was then subsiding, and I have been told that as many as ' eighteen had previously been cut off in a . single wool;. From the report of the Registrar-General fortho month of Juno, it appears that in Brisbane and suburbs there ' occurred 77 deaths, of which 28, or 36'3(i percent., were from zymotic diseases. In May, no less than 10G deaths were registered. The population of Brisbane municipality is somewhere about 30,000. An inquiry into tho manner in which the night-soil con tract was carried out resulted, but the

report presented was of so feeble and in conclusive a character that nothing is likoly to eomo of it. Hero at Toowoomba tlio same fever was rife, and one of the members for the district was laid aside by it, but rocovered. At Rockhampton (■l5O miles from Brisbane) the unfortunate victims are said to have died off "like rotten sheep." The Government propose to pa3s a measure this session for the improve ment of the sanitary condition of the colony, but tho people will never be made cleanly in their habits by not of Parliament. And, of courso, filth lies at tho bottom of all this disease. Thero is absolutely no drainage at Brisbane, Toowoomba, and Rockhampton, nor, so far as I am aware, in any of the towns. In the first two places just named a so-called earth-closet system is in force, and I shall hardly be credited when I say that here in this town tho night-soil cart goes about the streets in broad daylight, ■when tho footways are in possession of ladies engaged in shopping anl making calls, children going to and returning from school, and men pursuing their usual avocations. I leave this unsavoury subject with the remark that Queensland is a hot bed of fever, and must continue to bo so, because of the shortsightedness of the peoplo resident therein ; who might, not withstanding a broiling sun, keep zymotic diseases at bay with cleaner habits and a thorough system of drainage. Another scourge of the settler in Queens land is to be found in tho droughts which occur from time to time, but with no ro-

liable regularity. Australia, it is said, h tho land of flood and drought, and tho latter condition was tho prevailing one during last Rummer. The loss sustained by stock owners and agriculturists was enormous. For months no rain fell, and vegetation was parched up, Tho country assumed tho ap pearance of a desorfc. Hotels and flocks wore decimated, and the owners in many instances driven to tho last stage of despera tion. liuin is staring many squatters in tho face as a consequence of the un precedented absence of rain, flocks which previously were counted by thousands being now less than as many hundreds. What has made the matter all tho worse and tho harder to bear is the fact that relief was nowhere to bo obtained by travelling tho stock, and in many instances owners re frained from doing so, anticipating tho dosircd change, until the stock became too weak to travel nnd nothing could be dono. In the Darling Downs district, where grass is often to be seen three and four feet high, ono might have hunted a mouso over tho ground with no fear of losing sight of it. The oranpe and grape crops wore a failure. I expected to bo able to obtain oranges almost for tho asking, but find that the price of very small, thick-skinned speci mens is from a shilling to eighteenpenco a dozen. Apples cost from three halfpencoto twopence halfpenny each, but they are not grown on tho spot, but are imported mostly from Tasmania. Butter reached the famino price of half-acrown a pound j milk, when it was to be had, cost sixpence a quart; eggs were sold at threepence_ each. The drought was practically over in this place when I arrived, but the shadows and skeletons of cows and horses one saw walk ing about told eloquently enough of the privations the wretched creatures had been subjected to. Even now it is a common thing to see five and even seven lean horses harnessed to a cart which a souple of Win stone's well-favoured steeds would easily manage ; and there are no hills here at all comparable with the hills of Auckland.
