[Received August 15, noon.]

LONDON

August It. Parliament was formally prorogued to-day by Commission. The Queen's speech, which was read by the Lord Chancellor, expressed regret that several important measures which had been introduced had failed to become law. The speech further states that the friendliest intercourse con tinues to be maintained with the various [lowers and alludes to the resumption of di plomatic relations with the Mexican Repub lic. It laments fuiluro of the Conference on Egyptian affairs, and adds that tholSovern ment will continue to fulfil with fidelity the duties arising out of the presence of British troops in the Kilo Valley. The special mis-ion of Karl Northbrook to Egypt will, it is be'ieved, materially aid Her Majesty's counsels on Egyptian questions, and tho future steps to be taken in that country. Regret is expressed that Zululand, outside the reserve territory, is now in a disturbed state. Allusion is made to the improvement which is manifest in Ireland and to the prospects of an abundant harvest throughout the kingdom. Tho speech announces that Parliament will he called together again in Autumn, and con cludes by saying that the prevailing loyalty to the Throne and respect shown te the law inspire the belief that the national aim is to piirsuo a course of order and moderation.

PECULIAR DECEPTION.

& Woman Porsonatcs a Mm

An' extraordinary case was brought to light in Beechworth, Victoria, the other day. On Saturday last an individual, known as Edward Moate, was brought before Mr Foster, P.M., in Bright, and chargod with having been illegally upon the premises of a resident of that place. When biought iuto the Court the accused feigned death so successfully that many persons in the Court cried "Shame" in protest against the action of the police in having brought a supposed "dying person" into Court. The magistrate re manded tlie accused for medical examina tion. On the 21st instant the accused was discharged by two justices of the peace, but v/sa arrested on the following day by Ser geant Shoobridge on a charge of lunacy, and was brought to Beechworth on Wed nesday evening for examination. Yester day, after examination by Drs. Fox and Skinner, tho aecu3od was committed to tho asylurr., and was accompanied to tli&t institution by Sergeant Shoobridge, wlio was suspicious, as to whether Moato is really a manaic. The officer communicated his suspicions to Dr. Despoil, the medical superintendent, and wasshortly afterward in formed thathiasuspicions were wellfoundoJ, a* "Edward"Moate is undoubtedly a woman. M ©ate was for a number of years employed as soaa servant by the late Mr Phipps, who was .elerkof courts in Omeo. Beforo his death Mr I'iiipps was most assiduously nursed by Moate, and ho bequeathed to the supposed tnan, in the name of " Edward Moate," a .quantity of property, which has since been disposed of. Under this will Moate.is said ,to have recently become entitled to a coal ■mine in England, and shortly before the .arrest she delivered to Sergeant Shoobridge thy will, together with a power of attorney, Several years ago Moate entered tha em ployment of the late Dr, Warren, who died suddenly in Bright. Dr. Warren is said to have previously lived with Mr Phipps in Omeo. The suddcD death of the ■doctor appears to have been tho exciting cause of Moate's madness, as she is con tinually raring about him and supplicating God's mercy for him. Moato has also ro fused to eat, and hag not consumed a pound of solid food for ten days, so tha; she is necessarily in a low state. She is 5i5 yeara of a^e, of siiort stature, and a, native of Ireland. Her hands show that that she has done rough work. Nothing is known of her history previously to )icr employment in Omoo.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

(BY TETjKQUAPIT.-SPECIAL iraPORTEH.)

Wellington, this day The Representatives aro " Sold."

Tin: proceedings in the House yesterday iiEtornoon wore rather a "soil." It was {jOJioruUy bolievud that some kind of state ment would be made re the formation of the now Ministry ; and when, after the swear ing in of yew members, Major Atkinson staled that he had a message from the Governor, lion, members roso from their scats to receive such an important missive with fitting respect. It consisted of half-a dozen lines written on a sheet of foolscap, announcing that it was inconvenient for his Excellency to tell them that day why he had callod them together, but he woidd do so on Tuesday. Major Atkinson then moved the adjournment till Tuesday, which was carried nan. run., and members tiled out. Sir Julius Vogel was not present in the House, so that any awkward questions were evaded. The Farce In the Fossil Chamber. Precisely a similar formula was gono through in the Council, witli the addition that the Hon. Mr Oliver, as representing the Cabinet, rose after the rending of the Governor's message and gravely informed his brother fossils that Ministers had placed their resignation in the- hands of the Gover nor. He then sat down. This .startling piece of intelligence (which had been made known exactly one week before in that other place to which honourable mem bers must never allude) having been duly digested, the Council stood adjourned till Tuesday. Tho Ministerial Salaries. It is settled that Ministers will not be sworn in till after Mr Stout's arrival on Monday next. Tho hunting up of authori ties scorn to have been ineffectual in dis covering any precedent, and as nothing is to be gained by swearing in before the House meets again, except the pay which goes to the Atkinson Ministry until they are relieved, it is thought wise to avoid the chance of mistake and wait until Mr Stout can present his Ministry in person. The pay, however, is no trifling consideration. The Ministry was fully formed on Tuesday night, and would, if the Premier had been lic're, have been sworn in on Wednesday morning. Through his absence they lose, and the Atkinson Cabinet gain, live days' pay, amounting in the caso of each Minister to a littlo over twenty pounds, and the Premier X.H. Thero aro seven paid Ministers, so they lose con jointly i'l44. Mr Stout is engaged on a bank case in the Supremo Court, Dunedin. It ought to be productive of fat fees to make up for the loss occasioned hero by his undertaking it.'

Canterbury Dissatisfaction with the Cabinet.

I learn that when the Canterbury members met Sir Julious Vogol on Tuesday they presented him with a written protest against his proposed distribution of port folios. Mr Coster was instrumental in smoothing matters over, inducing them after long argument to ffivo way. Mr Wakch'eld, when ho saw his friends desert ing him, laid his hand on tho paper, remark ing that ho would pocket "that historical document;" but Mr O'Callttghan interferred, and declared tho paper must be burned, and carried his determination into action.

No Minister for Auckland. Legislative Councillors .say tho vacant portfolio must be given to an Upper House member. Tho representative of the (io vernmont in the other chamber has arduous and responsible duties, and cannot be left to an unpaid member of the Executive. This view seems reasonable, and it would exclude tho prospect of any Auckland member of tho i louse unless one of the other Ministers retires.

Tho Golelfiolds Meinbera Havo a Price

A meeting of goldfiolds members is con vened by Mr Pyke to be held on Monday. The representatives of tho gold-mining in dustry aro resolved to insist on greater attention being paid to their wants than in tho past. They claim that tho industry has been wholly neglected heretofore.

THE LATEST.

THE MINISTRY TRYING TO GAIN TIME. It is stated on good authority that tho Governor's speech »ill not bo delivered on Tuesday, but a further postponement will be asked by .the now Ministry. The objoct of this move is to gain time to convert the present minority, if possible, yito a ma jority. The postponement %vili'»6ii»trongly resented by moniber.s who pro" already indignant about past delays.

A Canterbury Criticism of tho Situation.

Christciiukoh, this day.—The "Press" of yesterday morning says*: "A great many people wore disappointed at the discovery that Sir Julius Vogelhad consented to occupy a subordinate position in any Cabinet, more especially as he lias agreed to allow Jfr Stout, the Radical leader, to bo placed over him as Premier. In coiiFequoneo of this arrangement it is pointed out that the colony is called upon to welcome onco more thofirey Government of 1877, minus two or three of the ica3b influential mombors. Many persons are at a loss to comprehend how such a condition of all'airs was ever brought about. They cannot be induced to admit that the natural outcome of the general elections is the accession to otlicc of ivliat may be described as the Radical party, with whatever amount of Conservatism Sir Julius Yogel and Mr Kichardson are able to eivo it, urn} refuse to believe that the combination can obtain, for any length of time, the support of tlia majority «f the House of Representatives. When it lirst became known that Sir Julius Vogel had consented to take ollice under Mr Stout, wo concluded he had, by that act, to a large extent,effaced himself asa party leader. No doubt, as Colonial Treasurer he hopes to have an opportunity of showing that he occupies a subordinate position more in name than in reality; but the mere fact that he-will be enunciating the policy of s Stout Ministry, and not of a Vogel administration, ■will make a material difference. Even if he makes it abundantly evident that it is bis own policy he is unfolding, the result will trot be quite the same. On the other hand, Mi' Stout's position and that of the other Radical members of the Cabinet will not be much improved if jt is demonstrated tJsat they have sacrificed past political pro fessions'for the sake of power. It may be said there ara occasions when men must, in ' the interests of the country, put in the background their own jr.dividualopinion. All coalition ministries are formed on such a compromise; but in the present instance jt surely would be a misuse of the term to describe the Stout Ministry as a coalition Government, inasmucli as it claimed to be simply an administration formed out of the late Opposition, and the best that could be aot under existing circumstances. The new Government enters upon its career surrounded :-with difficulties of unusual magnitude. They must count on finding themselves confronted at an early data by an able end numerous Opposition, while they cannot shut their eyes to the fact that the coalition of the Cabinet is such that it ■was with very great difficulty Sir Julius Vo«el was able to pursuade the Canterbury section of his followers to accept it at ar.y price. J1

A Contemporary Gives "The Reason Why." The " Star" yesterday evening, in refer ence to the "Press" leader, says—"The handwriting of the article in question may be that of the editor of the ' Press,' but the voice is the voice of Mr Wakefield—of Mr Wakefield disappointed and very poor in deed. We all know why Mr Wakefield is angry. His few associates have been reckoning without their host; have made up their minds any time sines January last that-Mr Wakefield was to bo in the next Ministry—ivhenever, however, or by whom soever constituted. Naturally, a Cabinet which Imo formed itself in defiance of these anticipations cf>n come to no good. This the 'Press/ the 'Tiraaru Herald,'and the ' Otago Daily Times' will pi'each to Canter bury and Otago henceforth ; but since every body will know that the inspiring cause of these sermons will be tho battled selfishness andwounded vanity of an unsciupulousyoung noiiricinn and journalist, we may euppo.se nobody will pay them any very great amount of attention."

Dukkdin, tins day. Tiik relatives of the girl Beitdall arc indig nant at Hie suggestion that they wero in

any way privy to what was going on lately at Christchureh and Ashburton. "A friend of the family " writes to Hie " Star " donying tliat tho girl was over in the employ of Keddingtield as a doinestie. Slie left hey mother, who is now in Dur.edin in a critical state of health, her father being employed ii) the neighbour hood of Wellington, in order to talco up work with the Army-, who allowed her 15s n week, 10n of which was payed to Uedding licld for her board. Her mother wrote several lottere to tho latter insisting on tho girl's return to her home, but she alleges that she was always put oil' with fair promises. Mrs Bctldinglicld herself wrote in one of her letters to her friend : " I am sorry I should have upset you by asking for you to stay. I can quite feel for you. 1 have often told you that were I in your place 1 could not bear having to live alone. Do not think I am selfish in asking you how long she can stay. I only thought it would be better for us all. You need not believe any of the reports, whatever they arc, bo cause you ought to know by this time how the Army is disliked. Host assured that should anything be wrong I would let you know directly. I promised you that I would look after her, and I mean to keep that promise. I lovo her as dearly as 1 do my own sister, and as such I treat \ er. I hopo you will not worry yourself. Her heart is in tho work. You must not believe that, she line changed. She is a dear, good girl, and will do what is right, both in your sight and God's." The husband, prior to this, had written this precious letter : " 1 am afraid some of our Dunedin friends are very anxious to got our little 'Lieutenant' back again. She has not been very ill. Had she been so, I should have sent for you directly, for when I came away from Dunedin I promised you I would look after her and take carp of her, and I can say I have faithfully carried out my promise. Our littlo friend, ' Sergeant' L., was kind enough to tell mo that lio was gojng to tell you to take . I suppose ho did so, /but I can assure you I have not made her work very hard in tho meetings, although she is a very groat help to me.

I shall miss hor, but I suppose (4so Lord will givo mo strength to do His work; but spare her as long n:> you can do without her. I was very iii on Sunday night after the meeting ; I thought the dear Lord was going to take mo homo to heaven. Tho work is hard here and the remits very small, but wo are believing for great things. A freethinker gavo his heart to (lod on (load Friday at our hall, and has testified several times to what Ood has done for him.

TE AROHA TRAMWAY.

(by telegraph- own correspondent.)

Te Aroha, this day. Titi! question of the management of Te Aroha Tramway has, since the last meeting of the County Council, taken a serious turn. Mr Adams, the manager, on reading tho remarks of Messrs Chepmell and Gould at the Council meeting, forthwith tendered his resignation. The tramway was not a source of much benefit to him, as lie was riot paid for his duties, but was merely voted a certain sum by the Council annually, which, from all accounts, he has never received. It was therefore a matter of "courtesy " on the part of the owners of the battery that ha was allowed to undertake the manage ment of t!je tramway, The people on the goldfield have been clamouring to have the tramway leased, thinking that under the management of a contractor quartz would be carried at,a cheaper rate. They seem to think that the tramway wan built for and by Te Aroha ratepayers, and altogether ignore the fact that it cost the county £20,000, upon a large portion of which the CDiinty liow pays interest, Mr J. C. Firtli has also resigned aa Chairman of tho Tramway Committee. A special meeting of tho Council is to be held to night at Cambridge for tho purpose of con sidering the situation.

The Canterbury people are now divided among themselves on the subject of railway rates, and there is hope for the rest of the colony on the principle that " when thieves fall out honest people get their own." At the meeting of the Tiniaru Harbour Board yesterday it was unanimously agreed that the Railway Department had extended such facilities for shipment at Lyttelton as svoyld tend to divert the trade from Timarn. One member said lie was informed on good authority that ths Christehurch mer chants had guaranteed the Department so many tons per week if they would make the reduction just gazetted. What for merly cost 15s per ton to convey to Lyttol ton now costs only 10s 2d, an.l besides, the traiiia manager had power to convey q. larger quantity at even a lower rate. It was resolved, " That the attention of the mem bers for South Canterbury bo drawn to the special jiarjff on grain between Timaru and Lyttelton as being most unjust to the port of Timaru, a.-; the only alteration made in the new railway tariff is on grain, the re. ; duction being aii in favour of the merchant, and the minimum quantity 100 tons."
