Lighthouse and Harbour Worlcs. At Kaipara a lighthouse has been erected on the North Head, and is now very near completion. Tho training walls erected on tho Aorcre River,at Collingwood. havo been completed, and havo i'uily aiswcrod tho purpose intended. The French Pass light house and the necessary buildings arc now complete, and the lass was lighted on the Ist Oetobor. At Jackson's Head a sub stantial beacon has been erected on the reef lying nearest to the head, which it is expected will be nf cervine in mail;ing the width of tho channel.

Coalfields.

Fur some yeai> [«wl the coalfields of Uio eoluny havo bcuu lult to private entcr piice, the ouly roltttioii wliiuli Governmont Ims maiiitaiiicd i» UiGin bolnp that of their control und inspection under tho rognlutioiia of the Mines Act, 1874. Tho report of tho Secretary for .Mines dated 20th of June, 1884, is already in the hands of mem ber.i, and shows that this moat. cKential industry ia slowly but purely increasing in importance. Tims during the last 2-1 yeara, while the total consumption of coal in Uie colony has iricicis-ed T.i per cent., tho pro portion which llio coul raised in the colony bears to the imported coal has increased from 48 per cent, in 1577 to 77 per cent, in 188 H. I regret to p:iy, however, that a marked falliujl-otrin production lias been experienced in tho ousy of the Kawakawa mine, at the Hay of Islands, on which tho northern part of l!,e colony has for many years been mainly dependent for mipply of steam coal. Any permanent failure of thin mine would bo a KurimiK losa to the colony, on the expensive railway that lias been made to conned It with a deep water wharf would become in that ciso unproductive. From the reports ol thu (Jculofeioal Depart ment there appeals, however, to bo good ground for expecting (hut the fallillg-ofl'ic only one of tho IliU'tliationa incidental to all coulliolds, and if irt anticipated (hat a more active and extended use of the diamond drill in tho district will lead to the discovery of fresh coal Beams. A pitnilur failure was experienced in the case of the important Springfield mine, from which Cbristchurch is largely supplied ; but in that caec the Company procured a diamond drill, and tho result of its use in dis covering new coal seams on tho property has been very successful, There is no doubt that in tho diamond drill, if it is used with judgment, we have a means of placing the development of our coal mines on a solid basis by obtaining without expensive shafts accurate records of the thickness and nature of the coal measure. The principal areas occupied by coal measures, concerning the extent and value of which more exact in formation is required, are the following : — fn tho North Island, the Hay of Islands dis trict, the district of the source of the Waipa and Mokau rivers, and the lower Mokau district, where seams of valuable steam coal are known to cxifit, and probably to extend into the district of the Wonganui River There can scarcely bo any doubt that if the colony could afl'ord to givo substantial en couragement towards the employment of drills to tho local companies and to private [Xirsons, much good would ensue. Good results would also accrue to the colony, and considerable gums of money would be saved to companies and individuals were there n more liberal exjienditure in tho Geological Department, which at present receives a very small vote.

Proposals for the Future,

There are two points which we must bear distinctly in mind—lirst, that there is great work for us to do in the way of extension ol the railway system, of feeding the railways ot opening up tho country by the construction of roads and bridges at intervals when the colony needs it, of incn a ing tho population by immigration, which, to speak moder ately, cannot be in any seneo exhausted foi two or three generations. In order to obtain a general idea of the future means it is necessary to know what is the policy of finance that it is to obtain, Tho Colonial Treasurer lias already at tome length communicated the views of the Government on tho subject, and I may bo permitted to supplement what has been already stated. Taking tht presont year as the starting point, tho ob ject after this year is to bring tho expendi turo charged on tho Consolidated Funt within tho means ;f that fund without aii. >jf the property tax. We foresee that thai can casi y be done by shifting to local ex penditure some of tho present charge* made on the Consolidated Fund — notabl) ibe charitable expenditure and eomc othei rtinall items—let us say, amounting with tho charitable, to somo LIOO.OOO a year. It is clear that the local bodies. canno' undcrtako this without additional ro vonuo, and to dispense with needless points of controversy at present, we maj -upposo that tho LIOO.COO is sup plied by cither a property tax or a land tax. But other revenue will also have to bt supplied to local bodief,-as it cannot hi satisfactory to continue for a lengthenec period tho policy of making and maintaining roads and bridges out of borrowed money, which has been virtually what has beei ''uing on for somo time. The borrowing for roads and bridges cannot bo abruptly brought to a conclusion, but its cessatioi. must be an end kept in view. Theio should be next year, and for some years to come at least, a net national increase of revenue o' 1.50,000. There should also be ovei many years an average additional saving of at least L' 20,000 annually on account of reduced interest on converted loans. fn somo years it will amount to a fjreat deal moro. From tho other source, il we pursue the wise policy of endeavouring as soon as possible to obtain returns from borrowed money expended,.weshould obtain considerable increases of revenue, apart from the natural increase when the North Island trunk railway is finished. Tho increase. from feeding to all the fragmentary systemh in tho island will bo enormous._ Putting this prospect on one side, I anticipate that if you allow me to pursue the works with n view to early returns, there will be during tho next two or threo years an averago in crease in railway revenue of at least L25.00C per annum. Wo have then a net natural increase of revenue of L 50.000 in addition each year to the savings on account of con version of L 20.000 and L 25.000, increase on account of new works in all L 95.000. The Government considers that this justifies our borrowing a million and a-half during next year, and that tho probabilities are that in futuro years the increases of revenui will justify, at least, additions of from one to ono and a-half millions a-year. The additional burden of this million and a-half will amount, at present rates, tr LOO.OOO, but probably in a year or two tho money may bo borrowed at 3J instead of 4 per cent. But it will be said that. I havo forgotten the additional charge of tho third million, to be negotiated next year. Tho third million, however, has not been forgotten, but in considering tho difi'erence between this year and next, it has to be remembered that the interest on tho money obtained by tt.o tem porary expediences and in anticipation of the loan will cover the amount of interest on tho third million. It is a million and a • half that has already been stated we propose to take authority to borrow, and I may say we also propose that it should cover expenditure up to the.end of March, 18SG. I havo not taken into account tho annual charge of tho North Island trunk line ono million loan, because up to (lie extent of LIOO.OOO I think we can provide for that line out of the million and a-half, and the Government wish to defer negotiating that loan till the expenditure on tho line is very heavy. At first, with all eagerness to push it on, it will be impossible to spend much money on it, whilst if the wholo sum is brought into the Treasury thero will bo the old danger of its being spent for something else.

Appropriation of Three Million Loan.

On the Ist April, ISS4, there was an avail able balance for expenditure of L 577,912 We propose to take authority for a loan of a million and a-half, as has already been intimated by tho Colonial Treasurer. Add ing that to the available balance at the end of March last, and tho third million of the loan of ISS2, we shall have a total of fc'3,377,902 available for expenditure from the Ist of April last for liabilities and new works, or, deducting tho liabilities to the end of August of L 154,000, there will be L1,827,01(i left for new works, which is another way of stating the balance of L 3-27,910 out, of tlie three million added to the proposed loan of one and c-half million. In view of these facts and figure?, I propose to avk the House to vote in all this year for the liabilities already existing and for new undertakings to be presently entered into, tho sum of L 2,810,2&9, made up as follows :— (For immigration, withJiabilities at the end of August amounting/fo LG2.2SQ, we ask for a vote of LIOO.OOO; fcfrgeneral departmental expenses, with liab/litiea L1?,750, we ask for a vote of L3o,osf?,;'foi\ railways we ask for a vote cf Ll,s^,s-16. On this sum wo have to charge L9oa;'S9B for existing liabili ties, and it also includes L 255,584. for addi tions to opened lines. But of this sum of £522,584 there are existing liabilities of 1,395,295. We have also to pay out of this vote for rails for renewals on working rail ways the sum of LIOO.OOO, and there are ex isting liabilities under this head of L 48,868. The LIOO.OOO has, however, to be repaid to the Public Works Fund by the-ivorkin" rail- Ways. Forroade, with liabilities of L 359.464, we ask for a vo> qqs. This includes

L 304.200 for grants in aid under the Roads and Bridges Construction Act, on which there are liabilities amounting to L 204.200. For waterworks on goldtiolds, with liabilities of L7,(JG3, we ask for a vote of L 12.857. For purchase of native lamb, North Island, wo ask for a vote of LHO.OOO, that being the amount estimated to be required to meet the payments which became due during the year now current. For tulegraph extension, with liabilities of L2O,4iS, we ask for a vote of L 29.322. Forpublicbui'dings, with liabilities of L 5.453, we ask for a vote of LI 71,104. For lighthouses and harbour works, with liabilities of L26,!)Sfl, we ask for a vote of L 5. r),9lfi, and for charge-* and expenses of raising loans, we ask fur a vole ol 1-1(1,500, that being the amount estimated to be re quired to cover the cost of raising llm lust million lemn which was flouted iv England.

North Island 'AVuuk linilway.

Ah logurds tho railwuyi-l in couroo of con ntruction proposed, it is desirable that 1 should state the intentions of the Govern ment with regard to them. Our intentions are as follow : — Kawakawa : The vote set down for this work is nearly sufficient to cover existing liabilities, but it is proposed to have plans prepared, so as to enable the Government to put tho extension of tho line towards Kamo in hand early next year. Whan<;arei-Kamo : The vote pro posed is sufficient to cover all existing liabilities. Hamilton-Cambridge Railway : The vote proposed in this case will cover the Campbelltown extension, andequipmont of the line throughout. Hamilton-Te Aroha and (jrahamstown Kopua : Tho vote pro posed for thepe works will complete and equip the railway between tho points indi cated. Main Trunk Railway, North Island: The Government Jini on more than one cc vision expressed its conviction of the expediency of hastening forward to the utmost the construction of the North Island Main Trunk Railway, and tho route of tho line having now been decided, 1 have been enabled to insue in.slriietiot.s for surveys to be proceeded with for the fust section south of ie Awamutu, and I hope in a few weeks to bo prepared to call for tenders for this work. I shall leave to my colleague, the Native Minister, the task of obtaining land along the line. It will bo necessary in any case to commence the construction of the other end of the line, und it will greatly facilitate tho prosecution of the work if tho construction of the VVolliugton-Mana watu railway is vigorously pushed on. [Mr Richardson here stated particulars respecting other Southern lines.] If the House consents to vote the amount which I have intimated that we now intend to ask for railways we shall have, I expect, by the end of this financial year, a length of 1.450 miles of railway open for traffic as against 1,404 opened up to the 31st March last.

North of Auckland Railways,

Hon. members are aware that large sums have been expended on roads to the north of Auckland, in lieu of expenditure on rail ways. This course Was decided on many years since, it being considered that roads were a more immediate object of necessity than railway?. Tho time lias come, how ever, when the people to the North of Auck land are very earnestly appealing for an extension of the trunk system of railways through their districts with the view to con nect the various settlements. It is urged with great force that the timber, gum, coal, nnd other minerals which the northern dis tricts possess, together with the capabilities of the toil of a very large quantity of land, would make such a railway at once remuner ative, and the-means of conferring a large amount of indirect advantages on existing settlers, besides inducing a considerable in crease of settlement. The Government think the subject demands attention and will cause inquiries to be made in order to place the House in | o session, i.oxt ses sion, of a.curate information concerning the route and prospects of additional rail way communication, tho extent of Crown 1 nds likely to be benefited, the advai.tige* to existing sottlers, and what funds toivarda (layment lor the construction of the railwoy would be derivable from tho disposal of the forests and from rentals obtainablo from suitablosized farms in the districts through which tho line would run.

Road Votes.

Although, as before stated, I do not pro pose to go into all the road votes in detail, it is necessary that I should say a few words as regards the total amounts proposed to be asked for nmler three of the principal classes of roads—namely, the roads north of Auckland, the grants in aid under the Roads nnd Bridges Construction Act, and the roads to open up lands befere sale, as it might otherwise appear that these amounts are excessive. For the roads north ol Auckland our proposal is to take a vote for the whole of the balance of the amount already allocated in the loan of 1882, which amounts to L 103,500, and to distribute tho sum amongst the various local bodies, to be expended by them during the remainder of this and the whole of the financial year. This is done in aider that they may make arrangements tor tho works being executed during the most suitable period of the year, as it lias been found that the annual allocation of •small amounts made in midsummer has the effect of running tho construction into the winter time, and also of necessitating this being dono in a very piecemeal fashion. For grants in aid under the Koada and Bridges Construction Act the vote proposed, and the one which so materially swells the total amount asked for under the general heading of roads, i? L 304.200. This sum includes a liability of L2o4.2oo—being the total outstanding balance of all allocations made up to the end of March last, together with LIOO,OOO which we propose for alloca tion this year for main roads. This wiU leave tho item of roads still to be provided for under tho permanent appropriation of LIOO.OOO made by the Roads and Bridges Construction Act, ISS2, tho balance avail able for allocation under this head, in cluding some L 1,803 of debentures already paid, being L 43.987. For tho roads to open lands before sale, the amount proposed to be voted is L 133.305, that being the balance of road allocated of 18S2, with some ."mall additions recommended this year. I venture to express a hopo that next year such a system of local government will bs constructed as will make it unnecessary to come t/j this House for such an amount of votes for roads and bridges.

Concluding Remarks.

In conclusion, the speaker said : I shall only add that I hope when the time comes round for the next annual Public Works Statement I shall be able to show that the department generally is being administered with greater economy than at present, that I may havo been ablo to place the tariff on the railways in a more satisfactory stato, and that I shall be able to submit a bill providing for the creation of non-political Boards of Management, which will be satis factory to the House and the country. I have, I am sure, wearied the House, and perhaps I have trespassed too far on its patience, and it only remains for rue now to thank you, Mr Speaker and hon members, for the indulgence accorded to me.

Firth, in recognition of the services ho had rendered during his term of ofiice as President. Mr Firth acknowledged the presentation, and expressed his thanks in a neat speech. He had been very much pleased with tho distri bution of prizes. Ho congratulated tho prize winners on the result of their arduous labours, and he also congratulated those who were not prize-winners. Though they had notwon a prize, they should not suppose they hud obtained uo advantage from the contest. They had made prcj gressin acquiring knowledge, and had secured v result ncurly equal to that obtained by those who won. llealsodrewattentiontothecircum stance that tho girls had carriod oil'the majority of the vrizcß, and urged the boys to greater exertion in tho future. Mr Firth was loudly cheered at tho close of hia speech, which tvbs listened to with much attention. Later in the evening addresses were given by tho Rovb. Hill und Monro, and S'ivoral hymns were also sung. Mr Knoch Wood presided at the har«' inonium. A' iho close of ihe meeting a collec tion was taken up to defray expenses.

CimiSTcmntcii, this day, —Mr John McFarlane, farmer, Rangiora, died tki* morning. He was a colonist of 44 years' standing, 3D of which he passed in Rangiora district. He was a member of the Couety Council, and President of the Northern Agricultural Association for many years.

Electricity has hitherto appeared as the enemy of gas-lighting, but a recent inven tion shows her in tho character of hand maiden to the now old-fashioned illuminant. An ingenious apparatus was shown at the Electric Exhibition in London, the uso of which is to light gas-jets by. It is ap parently nothing more than a hollow rod, yet by a simple process of pressing a knob near one end, a spark of electricity is generated at the other end, and this ylaced near the gas-burner is sufficient to cause ignition. With one of these appliances no danger could arise from lighting up large premises ; and as the rod can bo lengthened, it would prove a convenient means of light ing lamps in streets. This clever invention may bo inspected by the curious at tha office of Mr C. 11. Osmond, land agent, Queen-street.

Dear Sir,—Beina a firm non-believer Jjq patent or proprietary Medicines, my testimony may be of some value to you. Last week I suffered acutely from severe contraction of the nerves of the neck and shoulder. A friend laughingly suggested St. Jacobs Oil, and I invested in a bottle, rubbing it well in at nigU before retiring. The feeling of warmth and count er-lrritationl experienced almost immediately was very strong ; and I am pleased to state that I awoke next morning with hardly any trace of pain. A socond and less prolonged application cured me completely. A bad chilblain on my ear was re moved with one rubbing. You may mention my name as an authority ou St. Jacobs Oil.—l remain, dear Sir, faithfully yours, D. Benjamin. GOLD MEDAL, CHRISTCHURCH, 1882. GOLD MEDAL, CHRISTCHURCH, ISB2.
