POLITICAL GOSSIP.

(BY TKLKCIUPII—SPECIAL REFOKTKR.)

Welmwgsok, ttvit; day. Things have been very dull sinqo the depar turp of a section of members on thuir exj cursioi) to Nelson last Saturday Tho lobbies are rtlinost deserted, and oven t£ lo übiquitous and irrepressible loljby'^tg a p. pear to have taken win^;. T'; l0 'Hinemoa will get buck to-morrow moVtiing m ti«e to enable members to attend-meotracpi of com mittees. Several co'.dmiUees havo departed from the rule winch usually prevails, and aro sitting to-day with the object of over taking aviears oC work. North Island Railway Ceeunitteo. The North Island Trunk Railway Route €owmittoe met on Saturday, and examintjd! Major i'arris, Mr Rose (of tho Survey Do partment), and Mr Percy Smitfc .(chief sur veyor of Auckland). The North Island Tnmk Railway Com mittee met to-day and examined Mt Laurence Cousins, District Surveyor of ■ Waikato ; Mr Lawson, of Now Plymouth ■; and Captain JXorthoroft, R.M> of \N aikato, Tho State of tno finances. Tho financial debate of Friday night ttaa been the principal topic of araversattem since. Tlie general opinion is that hir Julius Vogcl weakened his position by assuming a power to make shocking dis closures, and then permitting himsolf to be forced into the position of disclosing tho fact that his hand was a very weak one-, Vt isunderstood that he has played Ins hißhest card on the score of disclosure:?, and mom ben of the Opposition are confident that it will be ti-umped by Major Atkinson-; in other words, I am civen to understand that Ample explanations respecting the accusa tions will be forthcoming. It is said to bo the intention of the Government to prolong the debate well into next week, in the Jjope of being able .to show a weakness on the part of thoir opponents, and to weary the patience <?£ wavering members whose Enclinatioi\a towards either party are not strong. Tlio object of tiio latter course would be to eecuro svipport,to htufy busi ness through, «nd let members get to their homes. Contempt of Court, Amonget tho bills of T.-hich notice has. teen Riven for to-morrow, is ono by Sir Oeorgo Grey with tho object of amending the lawTelstdng to-contempt of Court. His object is to limit the power at present possessed by magistrates of committing persons, and also to Afford further protec tion to publishers of newspapers than they ftt preeent enjoy. Sir George lias now quite a number of measures of various kinds before tlio Houao. Tho loquacious Seddcu, who devoted nearly a quarter of an hour last Friday to the task of convincing members that ho is not a Bham and that ho hates shams, intends to ask Government to-morrow if they will introduce a measure making it compulsory for all vendors of patent medi cinoa to take out liconscs, and that the fees charged for such licenses shall becomo revenue of the local governing bodies. Mr Moss's Amendment to the Financial Statement. Ministerial supporters affect to beliorc that the amendment moved by Mr Moss to tho Financial Statement on Friday night was instigated by Major Atkinson, arid capital is being mado out of this report, I am assured that there ia not the slightest foundation foi- tliti as.^crtion. Mi- acted entirely on his own responsibility, and without consnltin<j tho leader of tho Opposition, or in fact,anybody. As far as I can learn, if tho party had contemplated any such action, they would not have been likely to chooso Mr Moss to move tho amendment, seeing that ho has been looked upon a3 ono of the likel/ ones for a portfolio. As a matter of fact, I bolieve the Opposition are rather annoyed at tho turn events havo taken, becauso it was understood that a broad side from the heavy Atkinson and Wake field artillery was to suffice for tho present, and thatthe whole strength was to be resorved in case an attack became necessary on the Public Works Statement. " Heaping Coals of Fire, &c." An instance of commendable generosity on the part of Mr Shrimski, the hon. member for Oamaru, bus been brought to light. Tho educational authorities of his district are unable to provide fuel to keep fires burning in tho schools, and in order to minister to the comfort of tho youngsters, Mr Shrimski provides tho necessary coal at his own oxpenso. Railway to To Aroha. That railway from Thames to To Aroha is not being forgotten. A deputation,consist ing of Auckland goldfiolds members, Sir Geo. Grey, and Mr Brodie, was to have waited on the Premior respecting tho matter on Saturday, but for somo reason was unable to do so. Hearing that steps are being, taken with tho view of gottin" Government to construct the line, Mr Ritso, on behalf of a syndicate which was formed for tho pur; pose of undertaking the work, has written stating that they are still prepared to pro ceed with its construction. This is con siderod satisfactory, but tho deputation will nevertheless wait on the Premier to ascer tain what aro the intentions of tho Go vernment. Progress of Worlc. The Order Paper of the Houso ii steadily assuming more reasonable proportions, and instead of the bulky document which it was a week ago, ia now only a six pago affair. Members appear to have wearied somewhat of their innumerable strings of questions, or else have exhausted them selves. Although the paper is a modest one, to-morrow's business consists pf thir teen questions, twenty motions, and con sideration of twenty-three bills. Of course, only a comparatively small portion of this accumulation of work will £c dono at the sitting. A Minister Still Wanted. I really feel ashamed to return again to the quostion of that " vacant portfolio^' but it is possible that there may bo a few people in Auckland still who aro not tired of hearing about it. I am now given to understand that the appointment is to be made in the course of the next few day 6, and bo far as selection is concerned, I Bee no reason to alter the opinion that I have entertained all along. I might add that if Auckland people are " bored " on this sub ject, one or two of their representatives are not. The present position of the portfolio is a decided " source of joy " to them, and even frantic attempts aro being made to secure the prize. Pnrlrt for Railway Sleepers. , The desirability of having puriri timber used for railway sleepers throughout the colony is engaging the attention of Mr Cadman, and it is his intention to ask Go vernment if they will make a small advance on the present prioe given for puriri rail way 6leepers, thereby retaining in the colony the money now expended on jarrah timber. Compensation to Publicans. Some trouble is being taken to ascertain the feeling with respect to Mr Steward's bill to amend the Licensing Act. It is known that many of those who voted for tho second reading of the measure aro opposed to com pensation and other provisions, and the general opinion is that when tho bill get? into Committee, it will be either terribly or killed altogether. Both interests affected by the bill have a strong following in the Houbo. If any alterations are mado at all, they are likely to be in the direction of fixing an hour for closing all hotels, using the electoral in stead of the ratepayers' roll for elections, and extending the franchise to women. I do not think there is any chance of the compensation clauses passing. The rumour is current that Mr Downio Stewart intends to resign his seat forDunei din West.

Mr Stout will probably leave for Dunedin at the end of next week, to give, evidence in a Supremo Court case.

Thames, this day. New Prince Imperial.— The greater por tion of the specimens crushed on Saturday ■were exceedingly rich, and the manager estimates some of the largest blocks yielded quite sozs. per lb. With one exception.the parcel was the richest ever obtained from the mine. The manager purposes keeping the retorted gold in its present form until the end of the month, and melting it when supplemented by the return of the general crushing. The shaft is now 63 feet in depth, and passing through good country. Caledonian Low Level.—The crosscuts from the prospecting tunnel are situated within 115 feet of the Moanatmari slide, or immediately beyond tlio hard t'af last grappled with. Hope.—This is a piivate claim, oikuated on Una Hill. The owners have obtained 14OZ8. of gold from cine loai of quartz, broken in the drive on a Uinty vein.

In fact, his statements are mathoniatrcally unanswerable, and we havo no doubt thero will be no attempt made to answer tttefn. The only thing that causes us to treat seriously such estimates is tho fact that there ia one element in their calculation of which different pcoplo may take different viows, namoly, tho number of lapses that will occur. Wo do not blame the actuaries who calculated t-hese estimates for taking an optimist view of tho numbur oi such l'apues; but the line must be drawu somewhere, and an "Associate of the Institute of Actuaries" has conclusively shown that the line.in this ensehus been vory olaslic indeed, and that, in fact, ihese estimates niiglit also bo described us works of Imagination. Besides, we see no escapo from this conclusion that, since a lapsu involves so much loss, thero will bo streuuous efforts mado to keep the as surance going, and so the lapse among Pontino policies will bo fewer than among ordinary policies. Wo regret to havo to write so sevoroly on this matter, but a series of cstimatos that will novor bo realised will mako ovtery Tontino policy-holder, whon ho finds hinieolf dis appointed, an agent not for but ugainst life as surance and thus legitimate lifo business will in tho end havo to pay for such " enterprise " as we aro denouncing.—lnsurance Agent News paper, London, Ist July, 1884. fTIHE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE X SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATK3.
