DECLARATIONS OF THE POLL.

PARNELL. Thk formal declaration of tlio polling in the l'arnell election of Tuesday last was mode at noon to-ilay in tlio I'aniell Hall. About half-a-dozen were present. Mr W. F. Louim (Chief Returuing Officer) precisely at noon announced that tho polling had been as follows : — Moss. George. l'ainoll 294 225 St. Sopulchro's ... 127 'W Newmarket ... 101 04 Totals ... 522 414 Majority for Mr Moss, 10S. Informal votes : 4 at Parnell, and 8 at St. Sopul chro's. He therefore declared Mr Frederick .Joseph Moss tho duly elected representative in Parliament of tho electorate of l'arnell. Mr Moss said that tho election excite ment had evidently worn off a little. He was very glad indeed to find that this was tho case. It was hardly necessary for him to repoat what ho had said tho other evening in expressing thanks for his re-election, but he would just liko to attain thank those who worked so strongly for him, and to say how much ho attributed to their exertions tho position in which he now stood. As ho would bo leaving ing for Wellington on Monday week, lie probably should not have the opportunity of thanking them individually, and lie there fore seized that chance of making public his thanks. He could only say that lie felt grateful for the position in whicn ho had been placed, because, not only did it show that the electors had great trust in them, but ho could alao take it ns a complete vin dication in respect of tho different things which had been said against him botli prior to, and during tho election. However, all that was now forgotten. His duty was to do his best for the constituents, and not to forgot that he represented quite as much thoso who had voted against him, as those who had voted for him. He should there fore say no more than that ho was obliged for tlio position in which the electors had placed him. Mr WakehAM thanked tho electors on behalf of Mr Seymour Thome George for the number of votes which ho polled during tho recent election, and nt tho same time ho thought they must all acknowledge that for n young man coming into a place in which ho was a stranger ho had done re markably well. He had himself overy con fidonco that Mr Moss would do Mb duty to the constituency, but he hoped that at some future time Mr Georgo might be more sue: cessful than ho was at the recent contest.

Mr Moss proposed a vote of thanks to the Returning Officer, who had, ho said, con ducted the election with thorough impar tiality. Mr Wakriiam seconded tho proposition. Ho said that during 25 years electioneering in Now Zealand he had soon no election conducted so quietly as the one in Parnell Hall on Tuesday last.

Tho voto was passed and Mr Loutii: briefly expressed his acknowledgements. This ended tho proceedings.

CITY NORTH.

Tho official declaration of tho poll in City Korth Electoral District was made at 1 p.m- to-day in the Temperance Hall. There were about a dozen gentlemen present. Mr S. Y. COLLINS pres-ided, and an nounced the result of tho polling as follows:—Mr Joseph Nowman, 1!)C; Mr Thomaß Thompson, 740 ; informal, 'J. He declared Mr Thompson duly elected to re present the district in tho House of Repre sentatives. Mr Thompson regretted that thero was not a large number ol electors present to hear what he had to say, but the at tendance proved that they wcro satisfied with the result of the election. He was gratified that the contest had been carried on in such good spirit, and was convinced that Mr Newman and himself parted bettor friends than they had met. When the mem bor.i got to Wellington, ho trusted that whatever leader they followed, the Auck land men would stand shoulder to shoulder to protect the interests of Auckland. Hitherto this had not been obtained, somo oight or nine being ranged on one side, and a similar number on tho other. He would do his bost to represent the wishes of the electors in Auckland. A vote of thanks to the lteturning Olhcer, on the motion of Mr Thompson', concluded the proceedings.

PONSONBY.

Tlio declaration of tho poll for Mow ton took placo in the Ponaonby Hall this after noon, and passed off very quietly. Mr Hulme presided, and announced the polling as already recorded by üb, viz. :— Peacock. Do Lautour. Fonsonby Hall ... 554 448 ■yVhau 59 zl Newton West ... H9 _139 Total "732 COS Majority for Mr Peacock—l2l. Ho therefore declared Mr Peacock duly elected. . Mr Peacock then said : It is now my pleasant duty to express my hearty thanks to the electors who have honoured me with their confidence and placed me in the posi tion of representative of New/on. The battle ha3 been fought, and as was said by Mr DoLautour at the beginning we could not both win it. I think it will be admitted that the contest has been carried out in an orderly way and without acrimony or bitterness of feeling, but should there exist any such feeling I am sure it is the wish of us all that it should die out and be for gotten. I assure the electors as a body that so far as lam concerned I shall not consider whether an elector has opposed me or not, but will endeavour to be service able to all, giving to each man a courteous hearing, and honestly trying to give effect to the wishes of my constituents. I may be allowed to emphasize a remark which I previously made, that I shall be glad if the working men of Newton will recognise in me one of themselves. One who is then true friend, and who, without attemptingto impose on them by mere flattery and empty professions of solicitude for their welfare, will carefully guard their interests and seek in their prosperity a true basis for the Bteady progress and advancement ot the country: Again I thank you sincerely for the honour you have conferred upon me. A similar acknowledgment of thanks was made on behalf of Mr DoLautour, and the usual compliment was paid to tho Returning Officer.

Wellington.

At the declaration of the poll for Te Aro, South Wellington, and Hutt, there was no alteration in the figures. In consequence of the Paikakanki re turns being lost, the declaration of the poll for Foxton was postponed till Wednesday. At present Mr Wilson has a majority of 1. Rangitikei. — The declaration was : Bruce, 589 ; Stevens, 490. Grbvmouth.— No alteration.

The process of British merchant ship ping is phenomenal, According to a I ar liamentary return it appears that the ton nage of sailing and steam vessels, with car gots and in ballast, entered and cleared at ports in the United Kingdom,.grow from 9,439,067 in 1840 to 64,061,763 m.1883, the British tonnage increasing from 6,4!)0,450 to 47,039,079 and the foreign from 2,949,18^ to 17,922,074. The total tpnnage of the United States, registered for foreign trade, was only 1,292,294 in 1882 against a total in England of" 6,908,650 tons. Tho German empire had 1,220,650, Italy 990,004, and France 983,017 tons.

Some interesting statistics have just been furnished regarding savings-bank. Opera tions in Great Britain. Ireland, it would appear, has 31 banks, 52,101 accounts, and £2,085,413 due depositors. For the year Ibbd the return says: "The average amount of receipts from dopositors was largest in Ireland, £6 Is Id ; while in England and Wales the average was £1 Ss, and in Scot r land £3 4s lOd. In England and Wales the average amount of payments to depositors was £8 Is 6d, in Scotland it was J.6 18s id, and in Ireland £7 8s 7d. Tho rate of interest paid to depositors averaged in. England £2 14s 6d, in Scotland ±2 14s Id, and in Ireland £2 133 2d."

A gigantic encyclopedia is in preparation at Hongkew, China. It was begun two years ago, and when finished will not hare its equal in execution and voluminousness This unique work bears the tit eof Do bu Chuck Seum," winch means, ' From Bail* Times to the Present." About 100 persons have been engaged during the past two years in printing and illustrating this work the literary part of which is being done by a number of the most eminent Chinese scholars, and to complete whfch wf U take one more year. It is not yet known how many volumes the work will comprise, but it will not fall much short of 1,000. ine cost of printing the work is roughtyesti. mated at £6,000, and the price put down for one copy of the whole work is about £120, at which cost a groat number of sub scribers have already Bigned their names.

Tho Engineer of tho Rangitikei was going aboard his vessel when he slipped off the gangway and fell into the water. The accident was observed and prompt measures taken to rescue tho unfortunate man. Whon brought on to tho wharf, life was evidently not yet extinct, but all efforts of resuscitation failed. Tho namo of tho unfortunate man was James Thomas. The body has been re moved to tho morgue by the police.
