NEW CONVENT AND CONVENT SCHOOL AT PUKEKOHE.

. ♦- On Sabbath last, the foundation of a new convent, and convent school was laid nt Pukekohe. A special train was run from Auckland and took up about 120 visitors to witness tho ceremony. There was also a large turn-out of sottlers from Waiuku, Pokeno, JUercer, _c, who, with the friends in the district, wished to be present on the interesting occasion. Rev. Father Costello, the priest in charge of the dis trict, assisted by an active Committee, had prepared a substantial repast for visitors, and after these had been partaken of, the pleasing ceremonial was commenced. Tho first step was the presentation to the Very Rev. Father Walter McDonald by Father Costello (in the name of the congrega tion) of an address beau .fully illuminated and framed, setting forth his great worth, his valuable labours on behalf of the Church, and his special efforts in the interests of Pukekohe district. On rising to reply, Father Walter was received with hearty cheers, for which he returned thanks. In a telling address, the rev. gentleman said he should be very humble indeed if he was not proud of this recognition, and un grateful if he was not proud of it, not for what lie had done, which was but little, but for tho recognition of his wish to serve them and the interests of the Church. He warmly euloL'ised the Roy. Father Costello, and his offorts to raise an educational establish ment at Pukekohe, which would add lustre to his name, and speak to tho world of what had been done by Pukekohe, aided by friends in Auckland. The matter of education was the question of questions of the present day and hour, and the Catholic Church nnd her pastors could accept no education unless founded on a religious bas_. " When Rome speaks, the cause is ended." The very rev. gentleman referred to the excellence of tho school al ready established and conducted by Miss 0 Day. (Cheers). Father Walter then appealed to the assemblage to contribute to the object for which they had assembled, 110 exhorted them to subscribo liberally, paying at tho same time a well-merited compliment to kind friends of other de nominations, wliose hearty cooperation he could safely calculate on from the fact of their presence there that day. (Cheers.) In concluding, he proposed the health of Father Costello, and alluded to the success which had attended his labours in Pukekohe district. Father Costello replied, thanking the audience for the cordial manner in which they had received mention of his mime, and referred in complimentary terms to his Com mittee, especially Messrs Walsh and Good win. This elicited a few well-chosen remarks from Mr Walsh, after which Father Walter read an extract from a letter received by last mail from Father Golden, formerly priest of the parish, in which he said : " It affords me great pleasure to hear that my successor atl'ukekoho is working with so mijeh energy and success. He is the maKing of a rattling and devoted priest." (Cheers.) The ceremony was then pro ceeded with, the block being laid in the usual manner, after which the Very Rev. Father Walter McDonald made a further appeal to the liberality of the audience. Collections were then received, and tho re sult was n grand total of £255, the greater proportion of which was actual cash. Amongst the donations were the following : —Very Rev. Father Walter McDonald, £10 10s ; Very Rev. Dr. McDonald, £5 5s ; Percme Te f'abau, Dr. McDonald's Cate chist, £1 Is; Father Costello, £20 ;Mr Jeremiah Hickey, £W ; through Mr Cum mins (collection from the men at Jacob's Ladder), £14 Gs ; Mr Goodwin, contractor, £20 ;Mr P. Walsh, £20; and other sums ranging from £5 5s to ss. At the con clusion of the ceremony, the special train came back to Auckland, the residents heaitily cheering the city visitors as they departed. The convent building is situated on the church grounds, which are <about live acres in extent, and lie near tho centre of tho settlement. The blocks and plates are laid of what promi.es to be a plain but serviceable structure. Tho form of the building is to be that of a double cross, and it is to measure 80 feet in length by 38 feet in width, the studs to be 14 feet in height, and the roof of galvanized iron. At one end will be the select school, 20 feet by 38 feet, at the other end will be the dormitories, etc., a jpaco of equal dimensions, and the body of the building, 25 foet in width, with verandahs on each side, will have a hall 6 feet in width running through, and tho spaces on each side will be divided into four rooms. The design was prepared and the building is being constructed by Mr Goodwin, a local builder, and a member of the Church Committee.

AUCKLAND PARLIAMENTARY UNION.

_» £*he weekly meeting of the Auckland Par liamentary Union was held hist evening, thero being a largo attendance of members. —A number of notices of questions and of motions were given.—ln reply to Mr Theo Cooper, jun., the Premier (Mr Lusk) stated that he intended to take upon himself the duties of Native Minister.—A motion by Mr Graves Aickin favouring tho immediate commencement of the North Island trunk railway, in accordance with the recommendation of a committee of the New Zealand Houeb of Re presentatives, was negatived on the voices, the Premier pointing out that it was premature, as members had as yet had no opportunity of debating the question, and had no information thereon. The Premier then moved the second reading of tho Land Act Amendment Bill, 1884. In doing so ho traced tho course of legisla tion on tho land question, such as the passing of tho Land Act of 1877, which introduced tho system of alienation of the Crown lands of the colony by means of a system of deferred payment. In 1882 a further attempt was made to popularise tho acquirement of land by another method than by absolute purchase—viz., the per petual leasing system. He then proceeded to describe tho bill he had introduced as an honest attempt to conduce to the prosperity of the colony. The main feature of the bill was that it endeavoured to gradually dis courage the alienation of the freehold lands of the Crown by absolute sale. To do this hastily and arbitrarily would have a prejudicial effect on the colony, as the prejudice in favour of freehold was very strong. They should endeavour gradually to overcome the idea that nothing was so good as freehold, and substitute in its stead another tenure that would he more conducive to the interests of the people. He then proceeded to show that in all countries the idea had been that the land should bear the cost of govern ment. In England land had been granted to those who were expected in re turn to do military service to the State. He spoke on tho advisability of dis couraging the holding of large areas of land by individuals, pointing out that the bill provided that land could only be sold by the Crown in freehold to persons who owned less than 1A square miles of land. The Government thought this would prove a great barrier to the holding of large estates. The bill would have a tendency to reduco tho value of land availablo for free hold, and incroase the area available for lease. Explaining tho leasing system pro posed in the bill, he said that tho lessee would be expecttd to pay osper annum in perpetuity on tho capital value of the land he selected. The Premier having resumed hip spat, a sliarp debate took placp pn a irtotion moved by Mr Thoo. Cooper, viz., that the debate on the measure be adjourned till next sit ting, on the ground that copies of the bill had only just been placed in the hands of members. This motion was carried on the voices. — The adjourned debate on the Abolition of Plurality of Votes Bill was , resumed, and continued with spirit till the hour of adjournment, the expected division not eventuating. Leave of absence was accorded to Pr, Tennant and to Mr R. C. Can*, and the House adjourned with tho usual formalities,
