The House met at 2.;.0 p.m

Questions,

Amongst tho questions of which notice had been given to-day were the following: — By Mr WaKKI'IKLD : With whom and on what term, the Colonial Treasurer has mado arrangements to obtain the half million in anticipation of the million loan next year. Air PkacocK: To ask the Government whether they will take steps to prevent the further importation of American apples infected with the codliu moth peat. Mr Moat: To ask I he Government whether tlio usual provision will be made on the public works estimates for the erection and repair of school buildings. Mr Buchanan : To ask the Government whether it is their intention to amend the Roads and Bridges Construction Act during the present session.

Mr Buchanan : To ask the Government whether they will ask registrars of electors throughout tho colony for sugge.lion.. to improve the form of claims for enrolment under the Registration of Electors Act, 1.79.

Sir G. Grky gave notice to move for a return showing the names and descriptions of persons who have been nominated in the colony under immigration regulations, and from whose relatives or friends money has been taken as compensation paid for nou fullilment: of contract.

Sir Gkoisci; G>:i:y gave notice lo move for a return showing : (1) 'total interest paid by Treasury on capital expended un the construction and purchase of railways up to tho Hist March, 1884. (•>) Total amount paid by tho Treasury on the working of railways up to 31st March, ISB-1. (,'il Total receipts from railways paid into tho public account up to.'list .March. 1881. Mr KuitsTiioi'.-.r. inquired tho intention of Iho Government in respect lo immigra tion, and was assured that it is not Ihe intention of the Government lo resume lhe system of nominated immigration, except in ,-.o far a" it may see (it in cases of people who have paid money.

Mr ('ai.'.ian drew lhe attention of the Minister of Mines to the delay that aio-e through the payments on account of gold iields revenue being made by way of Wellington, and not direct. The Colonial Treasurer admitted that direct payments would be more convenient, but these could not bo effected without an alteration in the law. Provision would, however, be made to secure the object in view when a change is being made in the Treasury regu lation.

Mr Skudox urged on the Government the desirability of compelling vendors of patent medicines, tobacco and cigars, to take out licenses, the fees to bo paid to the local governing bodies. At the samo timo he read v letter from a Wellington tobacconist, iv favour of tbo proposed license, in which tho writer asserted that all smaller shops in Wellington are kept going with smuggled tobacco.

Mr Cadman asked if advances would be made on puriri sleepers, in order that this class of timber may be moro generally used for railway purposes. The Ministkk oi' Priiijc Works replied stating that Lenders were called for the sup lily of puriri sleepers, and only one was re-' reived, at -Is fid each. This was accepted, and any others that had been forthcoming at tho same price Mould also have been accepted. They were prepared to pay the same price fur puriri as for totara. Bills. The following bills wero introduced and read a first time: Hill to Amend the Law relating to Contempt of Court (Groy), Gold Dulles Act, 1872 and 188'J, Amendment Bill (Seddon). Imprest Supply. Sir Julius Vooki. moved the second lead ing of the I'ublic Revenue Bill, which pro vides for the issue of an additional i.150,000 worth of deficiency bills. Major Atkinson inquired why the money was required. Sir .luut s Vo.;i'.i, replied that it was bo cause the revenue for the month was in sulli ienr. The bill passed through all stages. Tiie Begistration ot Births Hill was brought down from the Upper Houso, and read a lirst time. Tho Financial Debate. The debate on the Financial Statement was resumed by Mr Holmes at a quarter to -1. Tiie speaker addressed himself to Mr Wakefield, whose speech he character ised as a tissue of sneers, jeers, and ridicule He asserted that when he heard Mr Wake tield rebuking the Treasurer he felt it to bo a caseof Satan rebuking sin. Hereferredat length to the political inconsistencies of the member for Selwyn, and twittod him with " ratting " in order to embraco a former op ponent, and at the same time gratify hisam .LMmmmm*m4m*mm*mmmmwmmmmmmmmmmmm .-"^ '

X-ona- the cost ola sacrifice of his prin ciples. He insinuated that Mr Waketield was willing to take office with his friend, Sir Julius Vogel. Mr Holmes conclud.d a speech of an hour and three quarters' dura tion by n hopo that Mr Moss would with draw his amendment, which, he said, practically meant a vote of want of-couli dence.

The House adjourned at 530 till the evening sitting.

When tho Speaker took the chair at 7.H0, Mr Wakkkiklh was on the lloor of the House anxious to make an explanation. He denied Mr Holmes's assertion that he had been intriguing with Sir Julius Vogel, and read notes from Sir Julius Vogel up braiding him for not calling to see him, and asking him to do so tit four o'clock that afternoon.

Mr W. F. Bu.k_.ani:> resumed the debate. Ho considered that Mr Holmes's remarks had boeti nothing but a personal attack on Mr Wakefield, instead of a criticism of the Statement and reviewing the proposals. Ho said that if all that the Government proposed to do for local industries was to hold exhibitions, they had better save the money. He raised a laugh by the remark that now that we wero coming out as ..bow men, tho next thing we would hear of would be a proposal to run circuses for horse breeding.

Mr Bevan described the Statement as ono of the most intelligible that had been presented to the country fort lie last five years. He read a telegram which he claimed was from his constituents, but which Mr Hurst interjected was from the Chairman of tho Westland Board of Education. This document ran: " Everyone here under stands Vogel's Financial Statement. All financial statements for tlio last five years havo been unintelligible, but all the dense fog has at last disappeared." Mr Bkyck took exception to the proposals for the reduction of the A. C. as unwise, and said he would oppose them at the proper timo. Ho considered that the financial pro. posals meant fresh borrowing, which would be enormous, terrifying, and alarming in its magnitude. All this had been carefully hidden in the Statement, but ho could show that tho Statement meant borrowingat least seven millions and a-half. It was intended to borrow tho third million and a million for the construction of tho North Island Trunk Railway. Permission was asked to raise an additional million and a - half. There were two millions and a-half for tho railway syndicate and proposals for other works meant a further expenditure of a million and a-half. Ho asserted that the Colonial Treasurer's dislike to the property taxarose from tho factthatunderitmortgasjes wero taxed and argued to show that it was only right that the money-lending interest in tho colony should be taxed.

Mr Ballaxck defended the policy of tho Government, which, he said, they were pro pared to give effect to as soon as .possible. Ho did not say that they would be carried out this session, but would in time, and he contended that it was a policy that would develop the resources of tho country and contribute to its prosperity. Respecting the proposed reduction of tho A.C., he pointed out that thoy were blamed for bringing down the same estimates as their predecessors, and at tho same time charged with making no reductions. He maintained that thenatives wero notinclined togoto war and that conciliation would be found more effective in dealing withthemthan the policy pursued by the late Native Minister. At all events the natives would not bocome disaffected bocauso of the reduction of tho Constabulary. Regarding tho loan pro posals he submitted that the greater pert of the monoy which they proposed to borrow was needed to pay off debts incurred by the Atkin-on (_o\-, intra.nt. Mr Rollestox defended the late Govorno ment from tha charge, made by them. Ho said that when they took office, live years ago, they found the colony in such a critical position that it was found necessary to borrow live millions. Thoy had at the same time been committed by their pre decessors to an expenditure of twelve millions. Ho asserted that there wero divided counsels on the Covernment bencllt., and that while the Liberal element wns represented, the money-lender and land monopolist were represented there in the person of Sir Julius Vogel Mr Moxioomkky criticised the State

iment, mid all!imi;.'li nvo**.!iif: hiinpelf to be a supporter of ihe Government, objected to i the rerlrclion r.f tho education vote.

Ho con sidered, however, that so far as railway construction was concerned, we were ahead of the times, and that while the agricul tural interests were in a depressed state it, would be better to st.-y onr hand. He expressed the opinion that the late Government wns no better than the present ono, and the present was going to be no better than the late one. He attacked the Government, which professed to be Liberal, fur its illiberal action in attempting to reduce the capitation grant in tiie Education Department. The debate was adjourned, on the motion of Col. Trimble.

The Home adjourned at 12.30 a.m

THE POST OF THE FINANCIAL DEBATE.

(r.Y TKT.KCIUPK— OWN* COKI-.ESI'ON'DI.XT.)

U'klmxotox, Monday. ()',' last Friday's debate the " Post" says : —"Anyone who looked round the House last night when the .Speaker took the chair would at once havo arrived at the conclusion that something unusually good was expected, Every inch of room was occupied in the galleries, and the Ladies' Gallery was crowded lo an extent we never remember having seen before. The expectations of those torlunuto enough to be piesent were not disappointed, as tho debate was an exceptionally brilliant one. Major Atkinson's speech was perhaps one of the best he has ever delivered to tho Houbc. He had an exceedingly bad caso to defend, for be bad to attack what ho was still forced to claim was to a large extent his own policy, but he certainly made Iho most of his materials. lie \va. clear, incisive, and earnest, without for ainomeiit descending to unworthy per.oiialilita or losing his temper, 110 ha?, iv fact, rarely showed to heller advantage individually.; but in his attempt to demolish the Govern ment policy his iirguijiisnU utterly failed. Why Mr Moss should havothought it neces sary,Ca__audra-liko,-ointerpose_lii. constant cry of ' Let us pay beiiua a l moiety of that mass of money to conic,' «« are at a loss to imagine, Ie does not occupy such a posi tion in thalLou.o—uc_ though i._ is Chair man of tho Public Accounts Committee— as to entitle him to follow Major Atkinson on such an occasion,'' or to move such an amendment as the one to be brought foi ward. Because Mr Moss is ' virtuous,' and has made nothing out of the Pubic Works expenditure, 'shall there be no more cakos and ale' for the colony? Sir Julius Vogel rightly did not bestow much attention on Mr Moss ; he devoted his reply to Major Atkinson, and he made, in its way, a very able, amusing, and logical speech. His exposure of certain 'irregu larities ' (to put it mildly) on the part of the Continuous Ministry was absolutely crush ing, and the points opened up so seriously all'oct the credit of the colony that thoy mist bo fully inr.u-'red Into and cleared up. Perhaps .- r 'Julius once or twice attempted to bo ruitier face ti ius where seriousness would belter have become the gravity of the occasion; bud altogether his speech was an admirable one. lie was followed by Mr Wakefield, who was in his best form. A master of the art of vituperation, unrestrained by any regard for facts when they do not suit his purpose, unscrupulously vindictive, regardltss of all to rules of restraint which gentlemen u.ually impose upon themselves even in political combat, and smarting under a keen sense of the ignominy of his recent accea . ion only to summary ejection from oflice, Mr Wakefield 'went for' Sir Julius Vogel and hi. policy in a manner which fairly electrified his auditors. The Ilousehasrarely witnessed such an oratorical exhibition, and although it was as good as a play wl i!e it lasted, it was not an edifying one. Still there is no doubt that he mercilessly ex posed many weak points in the Fina e'.ul Statenient, and planted a number of . arl and fair hits. It was, we think, a pity h'.t Mr Hobbs moved the adjournment v.hoa Mr Waketield sat down. Big speech should not have been left unanswered, and _ny answer now will fall Hat, The debate may not improbably now la.-t for some days, but we hope it will not, as the battle has to be tought again when the I'ublic Works State ment comes down, and this will not be un. til the present debate closes."

i__ R'7 Will > u_" •"■""■■ mo to add to what hag alreauy been said in your columns that I replied to an advertisement in tha " Herald " for an engineer, w inch eventually I found cam. from Patterson's Registry. He sent me one of his circulars to call upun him with relerences ; I accordingly did so. Ho told me it was a good place, and I was nearly sure to get it, and said his feo was 2s Gd, which would be returned if ho did not get me a situation. On tho strength of that, I paid it, but have heard of neither sinco, and the time has expired. But what made the tiling look as if it was not " all square," he advertised on the following week for an engineer. After saying that my testi monials were good, if be had really wanted one (which I very much doubt), and being an honest man, he would haVo given me a .how. I think it is timo something was done to prevent them from taking the last half-crown from a man out of work in a strange land, and I am ready to join with ; others in putting a stop to it if there is any i law to do it.—l am, .te., New Chum.

Lo* tho license fees be moderate, so as to be within the means of any one.

"Old Wcllingfonian" write,:—"The Wellington correspondent of your morning contemporary writes that "' v stampede nearly always takes place when Mr Ali'sa rises to speak.' Now, sir, as-an old Wel lington resident, and one. who has been a constant attendant in the galleiies oKtlia House during the past two or three'sessions, 1 de. ire to givo the insulting assertion of the 'Herald's' wiseacre a distinct contraj diction. Instead ot being reuarded as a bote, Mr Moss has the reputation of being one of the most level-headed and sensib* men in the Assembly, and when he speaks he invariably throws some light on the matter under discussion. He is listened to attentively, and seldonl speaks to a thin House."
