m ■ For the eanse that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs reslstano*, For the future In the distance, And the Reed that.we can do.

"The'possibilities of the House " are - pretty well exhausted; .and yet our ; Parliamentary representatives axe little nearer the much-desired consumma tion of a firm and capable Government for the colony. Major ;Aj;tinson, who 'damtiLL, ' — „. i

is now engaged in the attempt to form; a Ministry, has admittedly a better chance of succeeding than any who have gone before; but withal his pros pects aro not very rosy. He has parted company with the Stout-Vogel party, and is now thrown back upon those who voted for the recent no confidence motion. He is confronted with fresh "difficulties when negotiating for a coalition with the Grey party, for the latter arc firmly pledged to the land tax proposals, and cannot see their way to support a Government which would oppose t>lie introduction of such a tax. We hope that when the House meets this evening, Major Atkinson will lie in a position to an nounce that a basis of agreement has been arrived at,andthat4iohas formed a Government likely to command the confidence of the House and country.

The political situation is so peculiar that the duty of concerted action in the formation of a Cabinet may be said to over-ride pledges made at the recent elections. Patriotism demands some sacrifice or compromise, that the business of the colony may not be ob structed. The constituencies will more readily forgive a compromise of principle than they will condone the blunder of a fresh dissolution. Such an occurrence would exhibit New Zealand in a ridiculous light before the world. What we hold is, that the question of Land Tax versus Property Tax should be held in abeyance—the statin ijiio boing maintained meanwhile —and that on all other essential points, on which there is substantial agreement between the Atkinson and Grey parties, there is ample soopo for uscM legislation for more than one session. The followers of Sir George Grey could at the present juncture take that course not only with the highest consistency, but also with the purest of motives. By doing so they will do the colony a real service, and add lustre to their own reputations. It is evident that the mutual antipathies of the "leaders" have had a good deal to do with previous failures; we hope that those who voted with Mr Thomson in the late division will now act on their indi vidual responsibility,and do their duty to thei'S constituents independently of how their former political leaders may direct.

The steamor Tarawera, which arrived from Sydney this morning, was visited and passed by tho Health Officer while coming up tho harbour, and she was afterwards berthed at tho end of Queen-street Wharf.

Mr J. M. Shera and Mr Seymour Georgo have joined tho Now Zeulnnd Board of the Colonial Mutual Lifo Assuranco Society. The offices of the Seciety, at 139, Queen street, aro almost ready for the conduct of business, and Mr Lyall, who is still in Auckland, announces that he will be happy to explain tho Colonial Mutual Tontine system of assuranco to any who may wish for information on the subject.

A labourer named Henry Scott, residing at Christcburch, cut his throat yesterday because he was aboHt to be arrested for failing to snpport his family. He is in a dangerous state.

Messrs Murphy and Fcderli are reported to have completed the purchase of 5500 acres of land near Hokianga for tho purpose of prosecuting sub-tropical industries by means of skilled European workers to be introduced at the rate of 50 families pjy annum for three years.

Mr 11. A, Barnett, son of the Queen-street pork butcher of that namo, sustained n deep scalp cut yesterday somo two inches long on the crown of tho head from the loosened knife of a sausage machine which ho was working. The incision, which extended to tho bono, was stitched up and dressed by Dr. Tcnnant.

" The Woman of the Peoplo " attracted another largo nudionoo to Abbott's Operu *Houso last evening. Tho greatost interest was manifested in the progress of tho drama by those present, and applause was very frequently bestowed on the principal per formers. Wo would draw' attention to the fcict that owing to the length of the drama tlyo play will commenco at a quarter to eight.

Our report of an interesting meeting held last night in connection with the New Zea land Congregational Union is unavoidably held over till to-morrow.

Ten boilermakcrs have been engaged in, Dunedin to come to Auckland and work at the repairing of tbo Triumph.

Mr and Mrs Charnock, who are charged with arson at New Plymouth, were yester day committed for trial, bail being allowed of £500 each, and twosureties at £250 each.

Tho important motion of Mr Upton, for the creation of an outside body to advise the Library Committee as to the choice of books for the Public Library, comes up for discussion ot the City Council meeting to night. We consider tho proposal one calcu lated to bo of great public advantage, and when some better plan is evolved by the collective wisdom of the Council it should be adopted.

At a meeting of the Auckland llugby Union held on Monday evening last, it was resolved to canvas for subscriptions towards payment of Auckland's share of expenses in the rate Sydney Football tour, the total amount being £51 15s. It was also decided that in the event of the match with Tau ranga falling through, as is expected, a match, Ponsonby and North Shore v. a team selected from other clubs, should be played in the Domain on September 16, that a charge be paid for admission, thepreceeds to go towards tho expenses of the Sydney tour.

The young man, Frank James, other wise Jackson, was yesterday fully com mitted for trial on two of the charges preferred against him, viz., forcing, and uttering an order for £17, with intent, larceny of photos, and views, the property of Mr Bartlett, the photographer, and larceny as a bailee of a camera, tho pro perty of James Richardson. Mr Napier appeared for tho prisoner, who is a very youpg man, and Sergeant Gamble con ducted the prosecution. In tho latter case the evidenco was insufficient, and on this charge he was acquitted. A fourth caso, that of stealing an album, value £12 12s, will be included in the indictments at the Supreme Court in October next. On the application of Mr Napier, prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in £100, and two sureties in £50 each,

At the ordinary meeting of the Onehunga Borough Council, on Monday evening, it was resolved to take over Catherine and Fitzroy streets and to decline Maria and Commerce, as the latter are mere rights of way. A proposal to erect a publifc hall, together with Council Chamber and offices, was carried, and referred to a committee. The probable cost is £1,500. Some discus sion ensued on the subject of fiio high rate, but nothing was done, the Council being counted out at 12.30. The remaining busi" ness was unimportant.

Mr John Walker, of Kyber Pass, met.with a severe accident on Mbndny evening in the Auckland Market by falling backwards over a wheelbarrow, which had been carelessly left near the pump in tho centre of the Mar ket-house. In falling, Mr Walker's head came in sharp contact with the edge of the lower stono step, which for a time rendered him unconscious. It was feared that the wound was dangerous, and at the sugges tion of friends ho was at once convoyed to his place of residence, where surgical assis tance was at hand and his wound dressed. He is still suffering and unablo to leave his bed, and it will be spme time before he will be in a position to resume his business.

The monthly meeting of the Grammar j School Board of Governors was held yostor- \ day afternoon, thero being present f-Col. Haultain (in the chair), Rev. C. M. Nelson, the Mayor, and Messrs Mackochnio and J M. Clark. Mr Cranwell'sapplication for re-ij fund of fees was refused. A letter from the

City Surveyor re kerbing and channelling of east side of Grafton Road was referred to the Property Committee. It w^s re solved to furnish a £16 range, tables and forms, and to authorise the janitor to supply a. hot luncheon to those boys who are willing to pay for it. The fit ting up of Jhe assistant master's room and tho construction of a waste pipe were santioned, and a mortgage, Lees to Lyell, approved. Twenty applica tions were received for the junior mastership, and'of these six were retained for future consideration. The matter of constructing and fitting up store rooms) was deferred.

Mr Crawford, the director of tho concern, addressed the meeting at great length, and on tho majority of voices of those present it was decided to open the factory for active operations on Monday, 15th September next. The factory, which is now completed, is 100 feet long by -10 feet in width, and close too tho iirm have also erected a largo general store, which will be opened on the same day, A handsome residence has also been erected for Mr Fox, the resident partner.

Tn our shipping column yesterday wo gave particulars of the Wanganui's passage from London. The trip was a very stormy c-no, and some littlo damage was done on deck, but, fortunately, nothing very serious has to be chronicled. Tho Wauganui is in charge of Captain Adams, the chief officer is Mrß. O. Stafford, socond officer Mr it. Craeroft, and** the third ollieer Mr Coii;:. The Wanganui brings no passengers.

Mr Justice Richmond has been rather slopping out of his sphere at Wellington by criticising tho new Bankruptcy Act of the colony, which it is part of his duty to ad minister. Ho considors that one of its Clauses at loast is not framed so as to be cf public utility. That may bo so, but nothing so surely brings a law into contempt as for a judgo to condemn any of its provisions.

Tlie action Koyso and Mnlcolmson v, E. T. and T. D. Utilstead was hoard yesterday in tho District Court, before his Honor Judge Smith and a jury of four. Tho no tion was brought to recover the sum of £50 damages. Hie defendants, Messrs Hal stead, are tho wclHuiown veterinary sur geons, and the plaintiffs wore formerly in business as tho Auckland Forwarding Agency. Mr Thco. Cooper appoaned for plaintiffs, and MrS, lloskcth for defendants. Tho evidence for tho prosecution showed that in March last defendants undertook to treat and euro a horse which was sttllering from fistula in tho foot, and that thoy did not sxorciso due skill in tho treatment, consequently the animal was rendered useless to plaintiffs. The defenco was a denial of tho material al legations, an admission that they undertook tho treatment, and that thoy did their best ■i their endeavours to cure tho said horse ; that it was not in consequence of any negleot on defendants' part that tho euro was not effected. Tho evidence of Mr Kinlock and other skilled witnesses wan given, and linally, counsel having addressed tho Court, and His Honor the jury, a verdict was given for dofondttnts, costs £5 14s.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

[lIV TELKOUAt'II.I

[FROM OUU SPECIAL REPORTER..]

Wr.u,t.\t:TtiN, this day Fun for tho Unemployed.

One wonders where Clio crowd comes from which assembles daily in tho public gallery to hear members talk. Thoy look like work ing men, but ono would hardly suppose men in employment could find time for this '•sort of idling. Tho oonelusion is that a good many are out of work in Wellington, and take this mode of whiling away tho weary hours. Mr Soddon'o Grievance. Mr Soddon's righteous soul is vexed by jsir Georgo Grey's recommendation that tho Governor should sond for Major Atkinson. Mr Seddon is onaof the inveterate bores of the House. He mtlicts long-winded speeches iimn it in season and out of season, and haTf-a-dozcn such inon would make legisla tion impossible. Ho was elected a Groyite, but has played his own game this session. To b__-in with, ho took, on behalf of tho West Coast members (some of whom did not arrive till lato), rive seats in the front bench on the left centre, with trtic object of bring ing them under his paternal wing. Being men of superior intelligence to Mr Seddon, they rosepted this, and whan ho broached a proposal that all should voto together, thoy point blank refused. His motive was so "thin" that a child could see through it, his idea being that with five votes he might stand a good chance of tho portfolio of Minos. However, thrco out of the five walked into tho lobby against the Stout-Vogel Ministry, leaving Mr Seddon, after wabbling about and lead ing the Opposition to expect his support, to go with Mr Bevan into tho othor lobby. Mr Seddon therefore appears in tho melan choly character of a blighted being. "He had hopes'' which wero doomed to be nipped in tfheir early bud. His next movo was an attempt to induce tho caucus yesterday to carry a resolution of virtual censure on Sir Georgo Grey by 4-claring that ho ought to support a Stout- Vogol Ministry, but this motion,drafted by himself, was never carried, and Sir George Grey's manifestation of contempt for it in his recommendation to tho Governor loft poor Seddon "crushed again." Hence tho virulence of bis attack on Sir Georgo Grey and Mr Dargaville yesterday, at which the House, which has been watching Ids little game throughout, simply laughed; and when, in the course of his peroration on the Ministerial negotiations, ho exclaimed, " This is the way the time of the Houso is watted," placing great emphasis on the " this," loud cries of " hear, hoar" and laughter arrested tho course of an oration which threatened, to bo interminable, and he shortly afterwards subsided, to tho general relief of membors, who had been dropping out one by one.

The other proceedings in the House were brief.

A Southern Railway Job.

The residents of Waimca distrie , in Southland, are petitioning in order to have the Waimea Plains railway purchased and taken over by the Government. Thoy con tend that the lino is not a district one, but really a part of tho main trunk lino. They, however, add that the Company have struck a rate on property in the district of Jd in the pound, which probably accounts for their action. Roman Catholic Educational Griovonco. Petitions from Auokland district prnyinc for aid to Hainan Catholic schools continue to pour in. A number were presented yes terday.

Charitable Aid in the South. The jealousy evinced in Otago towards Canterbury in the matter of charitable aid has found vent in a petition from the Otago people. They contend that they are un justly treated in the distribution, inasmuch as the Otago Benevolent Institution only profited to the extent of £2,1f59 from Government grants, while Canterbury received out of votes for charitable pur poses £2,300 in ISS2, £1,300 in ISS3, and £600 up till March of the present year. They asuert that there is no possibility of the Ohago institution meeting the demands made upon it unless they are placed on the same footing as Canterbury.

CHORAL HALL.-"PSYCHE."

Tins fourth and penultimate concert of tho season was successfully given by the Auck' land Choral Society 1.-tsfc night before o crowded audience. All the available 'buses In tho place appeard to have boon pressed into service on the various suburban Hncsi and as a consequenco the do'Jrs of the Hall wero besieged by a large throng of people long before the usual hour for opening. When tho. performance began the place was full to repletion.

Dr. Gado's cantata, "Psyche," which lie wrote for tho Bintiingtiat- Triennial Musical Festival of August, iSS'2, was the work selected for interpretation, and from the comparative recency of its composition it must have buen quite now to the great bulk of the audience, Tfio libretto is founded upon tho well-known classic apologue, and the Rev. J Troutbeck has rendered into smooth and agreeable Eng lish verso tho Danish words. It recounts how Psyche, tho allegorical type of tho human soul, failing to propitiate Venus with an offering, is consigned by her to a rocky hoight in order to be delivered tip to n demon lover t how the Zephyr nnd Genii release her j how Eros, the god ot love, weds her upon tho condition that she must not seek to penetrate his identity ; how, in moments of doubt, she forgets her promise, descends to Hades is released by Proserpine, and receiving from Zeus tho gift of immortality, becomes reunited to her lover. Gado has treated the tlieino in his best stylo. The charms of his niollilltious music tit onco faseintito the hearer, and throughout tho work thero is a wealth of expression and n variety of resource in orchestral effects that cannot fail to command admiration. Thero aro occasional evidences of tho inllucnee exerted by Mendelssohn and Schumann upon tho mind of the composer, but thero is nothing like imitation in it. The music is in Gado's own distinctive and delightfully .suave and melodious .stylo. Those who havo heard his ",Eil King's Daughter" must recognise the- resemblance. It betrays itsolf at onco. The music is for tho most part soft, plaintive, and flowing, though in tho third part marked by a transition to incidents more stern and sombi'e. Tho instrumentation,in which the strings assert their predominance through out, is richly wrought, and the general treatment, of tho theme is conspicuous both for its delicate nuance* of expression and its exquisite harmony of colouring.

Tho Society brought to tho performance of tho cantata a force of somo ISO voices and instruments, marshalled under tho baton of thoir experienced and talented conductor, llurr Carl Schmitt, and classified as foNow : — Sopranos, 50 j contraltos, 2S ; teiurs, 21; baritones and basses, 35; in strumentalists, 38. Tho soloists wero :— Psycho, .Miss Bloazard (soprano); Proser pine, Miss Mnunsoll (contralto); Eros, Mr Milligan Hogg (baritone) ; Zephyr and (Jenii, Mrs J nelson (soprano), Miss Corbett (contralto), and Mr J, Hnnna (light tenor). The chorus was bettor balanced than it usually is, and the orches tra was less assertive. Indeed, atten tion to this latter point is exigent in tho rendering of siicli music. Tho work opons with a short instrumental prelude in slow time, leading up to a lengthy prologuo for Hit! chorlls. Of dramatic character and marked by several changes of key and timo, it was capituMy rendered, tho shades of expression being especially wall observed, and tho crescendo at tho end proving highly effective. Tho ascending chromatic phrase, sung in unison and wedded to a tremolo accompaniment from the orchestra, was particularly good. In tho next, part Psyche opons with a wail ing recitative of slow and sustained char actor, but gradually increasing in pitch until it ends in prolonged notes of distress. Miss Bloazard sang it with true feeling. The following trio—a smooth nnd simple number—was pleasingly rendered by Mrs Judson, Miss Corbett, and Mr Hanna. After this comes a charming duot between Psycho and linos, which was rendered with great faste and delicacy of expression by Miss Bloazard and Mr Hogg. Towards thocloso, where the voices arc in unison, tho baritone part becomes rather too trying by reason of the .sustained singing in the upper register. The part cutis with a capitally harmonised invisible chorus, which was effectively rendered. Part 11. is ushered in wilh a blight instrumental schorzo, admirably played by the orchestra, loading to an exceedingly pretty trio and chorus, in which the soloist-!, chorus, and orchestra alternate with very nice effect. It. would be mere affectation of hypercriticism to find fault with tho manner in which this number was done. The whole ell'cct was highly agreeable, and tho jinrls -Wero interpreted with euro and good judgment. Mis* Dlcazard g.vo tho ensuing solo, " Thank ye, kindly"—a very dramatic and melodious morceau, by tho way—with good expression. Thosubsequent lengthy dialoguo between Psyche and chorus —the ono bemoaning her fate, and tho oilier offering hope and encouragement was carefully performed, both chorus and orchestra executing their respective parts with roiolution and skill. Miss Dlcazard had in this v part of somo diflictilty, ending, i,s it does on B lint m alt, but she was equal to it. A musical dialogue between Psyche, Kl'os, and chorus follows, ending with ti trying aria lor the baritone, and perhaps the most pretcnslotis chorus of the wholo cantata, "Thou Art Mighty, 0 Eros." The chorus was spiritedly sung, and tho solo pieces wero given with a care of expression which atoned for tho defi ciency in voca volumeandsomc unavoidable straining in the upper register. Tho scene of tho third part is laid in tho nether world, and the music is thoroughly in hooping. After a low bars of instrumentation, the bassss and altos opened slowly and solemnly, the tenors aud sopranos following in tucir turn, and the orchestra playing a suitably weird accotnpanimont, while the occasional clang of the gong added considerably to tho dramatic expressiveness of tho ensemble. Tho part consists of only one number which was divided between chorus, Miss Bloazard and Miss Maunsell. Both ladies sang with great taste, and the orchestra had an opportunity for display which was turned to tho best account. Tho entire number is pregnant with powerful expression, and it was artistically interpreted. In the fourth and last num ber a sudden contrast is presented. Tho strains arc joyous and happy, and the finale is jubilant.- Eros opons with a melodious descriptive aria, which forms tho gem of the baritone part. Mr Hogg satng-, it with great taste and feel ing, and ; the audience testified their satisfaction, by a round of applause. Tho remaining numbers are two duets for Psyche and Eros, and a chorus, solo and duet, ending with a gladsome chorus of greeting. Allthesewereell'ectivelyexecuted; Miss Bleazard's rendering of Psycho's song of rapture, concluding as it dpes upon tho sustained C in alt., proving very ucceptuble, and both chorus mid orchestra acquitting themselves admirably. In fact, tho orches tra and chorus, but cspocially the former, under thier able chef d'attaijuc, Mr Charles Hemiis, Were highly proficient, and thus exhibited the fruits of assiduous and skilful training on tho conductor's part. Miss Bleazard's compass was taxed by tho arduous music set for Psyche, but sho wont through it with unfaltering resolution and correctness. Mr Milligan Hogg is de serving of special commendation for his courage in taking up at short notice the abandoned baritone part. It is really tho work of a tcnotc lobusto, and as a conssq^ienco Mr Hogg's voice was kept for a long timo at a high sustained pitch, which did. not afford opportunity for tho display of its best qualities. He reads with great facility, and his phrasing and expression wero both excellent. Miss Maunsell did complete justice to her small part, and Mrs Judson, Miss Corbett, and Mr llanna acquitted themselves well.

The selection of this cantata for perform ance is duo to llerr Schmitt himself, we understand, and it certainly does groat credit to.his discernment, as well as to tho good sense of the Committee in consenting to such an excursion from the beaten track they havo hitherto pursued Its successful performance is also in very great measure duo to his zeal, ability, and unremitting exertions. We are glad to know that more novelties may be anticipated in greater profusion noxt season. The throng ut the hall last night, tho fact that hundreds were unable to gain admission,, and the Dresent necessity of setting a limit to the number of honorary members, should con spire to determine the Society to mnko speedy provision forincreasing the accommo dation at their disposal, cither by enlarging the present building, or by erecting a new and more spacious one. Something must be done in this direction, and this too shortly,

On the motion of the PijKJiiKß, Messrs Gurrick, Conolly, ilnd Downid Stewart were appointed a Committee of i'rlvatc Bills and Standing Orders. Mr Stout said that as tilts end of the month was approaehiilg, lio would niOvd to morrow that temporary supply bo granted at the request of tho member for Egmontj who, he understood) had been entrusted with tho task of forming a Ministry; Ho would move that tho llottse, at rising, ad journ till 7.110 p.m. to-morrow (Wednesday). Tho Cabinet-Making Failures. Mr Thomson rose amidst applause, and said ho had informed them hist Saturday that he had told His Excellency he had every reason to beliovo he could form an administration. Ho had put himself into communication with members of both Bouses, and had roeoived many assurances of support from them, but whon thoy came to discuss tho political situation he found tho stato of parties was such that it was im possible for him to form nn administration that would continue to carry on tho business of tho country. Ho had stated so to His Excellency, and trusted tho House would give him credit for not unduly wasting time. (Cheers.) Sir Gkorcik Ohkv said he would like to slate to tho House that on Friday after noon, at 5.30 p.m., ho hud an interview with His Excellency, who asked if ho could utidortuko to form a Ministry to carry on tho business of tho country. Ho replied that it was an onerous task, and he would liko some time given him to consider whether ho would, undertake it. Ho found thero was a doubt whether ho could not bring about a combination of parties, and he asked His Excellency subsequently to grant him an extension of timo from Satur day till this morning. Ho had an interview this morning, in which ho assured His Ex cellency that ho had endeavoured by every means in his power to bring about an ar rangement by which some othor member than himself should form n Ministry. His thought was that thero would bo a better chance of this than if ho himself did so ; but it was impossible to bring about an amalgamation, and thorofore he expressed rogret to His Excellency of his unwillingness to form an administration, but he added that ho had formed an opinion of what would lead to a satisfactory result, and J lis Excellency gave him permission to •state what it was, and also to communicate to tho Houso. Thorofore, ho stated his opinion that tho only member of tho House able to form a Ministry to cany on business in the presont position of affairs was tho lion, member for Egmont (Major Atkinson), ilis Excellency said that was his own opinion : his thoughts had run in that direction, find ho believed they would find an issue in following the courso indicated. Further than that, ho knew nothing except that he had leavo from His Excellency to mako this statement. (Applause.)

Major, Atkinson, who on rising was greeted with choors, suid tho Govornor hud been plenscd to sond for him that morning, and charged him with the formation of a Ministry. Ho had asked for timo in ordor to consult his friends. Ho was unablo to mako a definite statement, but was in tho fullest degree alive to tho necessity for this interregnum, if ho might, call it so, being brought to an end. He hoped that to-morrow evening ho would be ablo to stato that an administration hail been formed. The timo had now ar rived for them to sink minor differences for tho good of tho country. Whether that could bo so, ho did not know, but the task was one ot great difficulty. Mr Skiiiion attacked the leaders of parties at some length, describod the position of affairs ns humiliating, and accused Sir Goorgo Grey for tho groat expense to which tho country had boon put by the unneces sary dissolution. Hedonounccd Sir Georgo Grey for ousting from tho Treasury benches men who had previously been his colleagues, and accused him of being guilty of glaring inconsistency in recommending the Go vornor to send for Major Atkinson, one, lie had formerly alleged, who had robbed un trjttl millions of thoir birth-right, and one who had been a curse to Now Zealand. He assorted that if tho division of tho othor night wero taken again, the result would be roversed, and added that a poll of tho whole colony, if taken, would be in favour of the presont Premier. Mr Soddon proceeded to describo tho ovonts of tho lost few days, and in his concluding remarks said tho Governor had slightod the House in sending for Major Atkinson again. It appeared from tho course His Excellency had adopted that he only knew four porsons in tho House, although ho (Mr Seddon) believed that if all the old party loaders had been rofuscd el9Ction their a Government quite as stable as any that would be formed could havo been selected without assis tance.

Mr Stout said that on behalf of Sir Julius Vogel ho wished to deny tho state ment by tho last speaker that a deputation wont from Sir Julius Vogel to Sir Georgo Groy. What really happened was that the deputation of Sir Georgo Grey's former colleagues waited on Sir Georgo Grey for tho purpose of ascertaining what attitude ho proposed totako with roferenco to tho new Government. Ho regretted that the House had not kept to what every House should adhere to-strict party lines. (Ironical "Hear, hoars.") Members, he thought, should continue to support leaders after they had followed them into the lobby. He would not say more, as ho did not wish to embarrass the gentleman who was forming an administration. \ The House then adjourned till Wednes day evening at 7.30.

THE CHAMPION SCULLING MATCH.

('Alter Mid -htftle'.'''

BV_ft_V', A'ugtiit 2i The talk of tho great boat race li«? pretty well subsided. Beach has been feasted and Honised, and is about to return to his home at Dnpto. The general opinion is that Beach won tin his merits, and that tho Tomki affair really did not mak« any material difference. Mr Y.J. Clark, the umpire, has given that as his opinion. Hanlan held his man rather too cheap, and ho doubt neglected tho necessary pre cautions in training. Whether ho will wait six months to again row Beach is flot yet decided, but Boach positively declines to fow under that time. Paying the Stairs—lnteresting Dis cussi""' On Monday, 18th inst., tho stake.'! were paid over at the International Hotel, wheri the committee-room was crowded, and about 5,000 persons assembled in the street outside, Hanlan was loudly cheered on making his appearance, and when ho had come upstairs to the room, llcach entered shortly after, and tho two shook hands. Mr F. Smith, the stakeholder, was voted to the chair, audj having an order from the umpire (Mr I. .J. Clarke) to pay over the stakes, handed to Beach the i'I.OUO he had won. , .ii. Tho champion, in receiving it, said no was very proud of the honour ho had won for himself as well as for them. Ho would always foel happy to row and win honours for Australia as long as ho could. (Cheers.) Ho hoped thy championship of the world would never leave Australia, and that when ho was beaten hi a match for the champion ship it would be by an Australian. (Loud cheers.) Beach then called for three cheers for his worthy opponent, Mr Hanlan,, which wore given very heartily and repeated, Hanlan, on rising, was greeted With great applause. Ho thanked Mr Beach for the honour ho had'done him, He was n beaten man, still ho was not any smaller. (Cheers.) Ho was still the same man, although he had lest his reputation us far us the champion ship of the world was concerned. He met Mr Boach on the Parfamatta River, and they all know, and he had to acknowledge, that Beach had defeated him, and he thought that a man who would not acknow ledge a fair defeat was no man at all. (Loud cheers.) They all understood that ho had won ti great many races, but this was the first defeat he ever had in his life in a match race, aud ho took his defeat as if ho had wen the race (Hear, hear.) They had defeated him, but had not killed him. Ho must say that Mr Beach was a great oarsman. He would not, however, say that Beach was tho greatest oarsman in tho world, and he was now ready to make v match with Beach or any other man for _500 or £1,000, to row on the Parramatta River. Mr Beach could choose his own timo, but lie would like him to row as soon ns possible, that would bo within two or three months. They knew that he was a long distance from homo, and had been absent some eight months ; and he knew that Mr Beach, the representative of Australiu, and champion of the world, would not let Hanlan go homo without giving him another chance, and no Aus tralian would let Beach rofuso to row him. Mr.l. Deeblesaid that it was impossible for Beach to row Hanlan within two or threo months, but they would give Hanlan an opportunity of going home and return ing, and in eight months' timo thoy would row him for i'soo or £1,000. Mr Hanlan said ho could not see that ho ought to stop out here for eight months. All ho asked for was fair consideration. He was not obliged to poddlo this championship ail over the world. If Beach could beat him hero, ho oould do it in another part of tho world. Beach should-give him a race before ho went home, and within three .months. It was left for Mr Beach to say whether ho would accept his proposal. Mr Cowpor suggested that thoy should compromise the dillicultybymakihgtho)natchatfourinonths Tho Chairman said that Beach had in timated that ho would under no circum stances pull in less than six months, but there was a gentleman in tho room prepared to match Clifford against Hanlan in best and best boats within three months for _;">OO, so that Hanlan would have a job on his hands while waiting for tho other.

After some consideration, Hanlan rose and said that he hardly knew what to think of Mr Beach. He did not know whether it was Mr Keach or his representatives, but ho now knew what it was to have lost the championship of the world, and ho could not realiso that ho was in Australia, and that tho man who held the championship lived in Australia. To think that ho had to wait here six months to row Mr Beach! (Mr Deoble: "Ned Triekctt had to do it, Hanlan." Cries of "Quite right," and up roar.) He supposed Mr Beach knew his own business, and now that beheld the posi tion they would bo dictated to by him, so ho supposed he would havo to wait until Boach folt disposed to row him. lie did not think lie would row any raco until ho rowed Boach. Ho did not think it fair to ask him to stop hero six months. He did not think they would get anyone out hero any moro after tho way ho had been treatod on the Parramatta River. Ho was really sorry to say this of Australia, becauyo he did not go behind their backs to tell them what he thought of them. He believed that on land the Australians wero gentlemen, but ho was sorry that a fow on board a steamboat that represented Mr Beach should be able to ruin Australia. (Cries of " Never," " No," and uproar.) Mr Beach, in reply to this, said that Hanlan admitted to him on Saturday night that ho had beaten him fairly and honestly, and ho (Hanlan )*gavo him credit for being a good oarsman, and thatHanlansaidhofoulod him on purposo to win the race, and was vory sorry for doing so. Ho (Beach) did not think that the Tomki in any way inter fered wirh the race. Ho thought he would have won tho raco just tho same if the Tomki had been three miles away. (Cheers.) Captain Amora defended tho conduct of Captain Magce, of tho Tomki, by stating that under tho circumstances it was ab solutely noccssary for tho Tomki to bo kept free, or sho would have gone ashore. The captain simply did tho only thing ho could or should havo done in keeping his vessel from being stranded. Hanlan replied that ho did not say the captain did it intentionally, but the steamer should not have been there at all; it should havo beon further ahead. (Hear, hoar.) Beach might have beaten him even if ho had not fouled that steumer, but he might not. He hopod that the next timo they mot ho would havo a fair contest, and that no steamboatswould interfere. Boat-racing could be carried on in a more gentlemanly way than by arguing so about it. (Hear, hear.) He did not wish to bring it down to the level of prizo-fighting. (Cheers.), Mr A. Cameron, M.L.A., then proposed the toast of "Tho Two Competitors, Wil liam Beach and Edward Hanlan," coupling them together because, under the excep tional circumstances, tho names of two such groat and worthy men should not be severed. Ho hoped that Hanlan would tell his friends that they would be roeoived here with open arms, and that thoy would get fair play ; and that if they took off tho championship, no ono would bo before the men of New South Wale? in making thorn welcomo to it. That accident, which could not have been prevented, should not be made a national matter. Tho Austra lians would have been almost us jubilant if the Canadian had won tho match.

Tho toast was honoured with enthusiastic cheering. Mr Beach, in replying, said he hopod that when thoy mot again thoy would have a good fair and square race, anil the best man would win.

Tho champion and ex-champion then shook hand*? in cordial agreement lo dismiss all differences.

The windows of the room were then opened, and Beach on going forward was received with tremendous cheering from the crowded mass below. Ho said ho hopod to keep the championship, and thanked the assembled public for tho way in which they had received him and his friend Mr Hanlan. He called for throo cheers for his worthy opponent Hanlan, which were given with groat goodwill. After"a few remarks from Hanlan the proceedings terminated.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Q-toroak at Mr W. Vailo'S DrapoVy i Store.

EAtirii'aiea' Damage, £7,750.

&» Kl_fm of fire wag ttih% 6.4 by tht; city bolls about half-pagt nine last rfighftk owing to the discovery of an exte'usi'v'e lire on the

premises of Messrs Vaile and Co., drapers, of Queen-street. Tho building ll'* ono storey high,'and built of brick, being" situated between two brick stores occu pied by Sir Atkiii, draper, on tho one side, and Clarke Bros., photo graphers, on the other side, Constables Wild and McConnell were passing the building at the time mentioned", when their attention was attracted by the prevalence of smoke under Mr Vaile's' shop verandah. They at once concluded that a serious outbreak of fire had occurred, and gl}ve tbe alarm. The Fire Brigade, tinder SVpTt'i'ffendont Hughes, the Salvage Corps, under Captain Field, and the police, under Sergeant Gamble, were (speedily in attendance, and tlio locality of tho lire having been discovered, they performed their respective duties with smartness. The roof of tho building was of iron, with skylights, nnd tho fire having shown through tho latter, ladders wore erected and the boso was speedily play ing on tho burning mass from aoov3. The Inside of tho shop Was then in a big blaze, but the steady stream of wafer which was laid on speedily put nil further possi bility of the lire spreading at an end, and in a very short space of time the conflagration was extinguished. When tho premises wero examined subsequently, the stock was found I o have been very seriously damaged, tho lire having apparently raged more fiercely in the southern i«ide of the building, where a chimney and fireplace is situated behind the counter. Mr Vaile informs us that he left the shop in company with his assistants at (i o'clock last evening,- after having seen that everything was right, and locked the door in tho shutters in Queen street as usual. Ho was informed of the lire late in the evening, and being then at Noitli Shore, he came over in the 11 o'clock boat and found things as already described above. Mr Vaile estimates the damage done to stock at £7,000, the insurances being as follow:—£4,000 in tho Norfli British, £1,000 in tho New Zealand, and t'l,ooo in tho Norwich Union. The build ing is owned by Mr F. L. Prime, and is insured in- tho Now Zealand for £750. The stook in Mr Stephen's boot and shoo store, situated adjacent to Mr Vaile's pre mises, was also damaged owing to water streaming through an aperture in the wall, which completely soaked a quantity of his best goods. The shop was filled with smoke to a suffocating degree, and Mr Stephens had to remove a number of trunks of boots and shoes from their proximity to tho fire, which raged with great fierce ness against the dividing wall. As the partition is only a brick in thickness, he was afraid that flames might follow tho Smoke, and so removed his books and valuables to a place of safety. Respecting the origin of the fire Mr Vaile is of opinion that it must have commenced through a spark from tho fireplace lodging amongst tho goods packed under the counter a few feet distant. Hesayslhere was a lire lit during the day, and, as usual, it was extinguished before the shop was closed, but it is possible that a spark may before that have ignited some inflammable material in the stock, and this led to an extensive fire.

THE POLITICAL CRISIS.

(GY TOLEGBAPHi-SPECIAL KKPORTER.))

Wellington, this day.

Major A-tbmson's Negotiations. Sin Gkorue GkiW's- statement .in thca House ro his interview with the Go vernor confirmed generally the account J wired you yesterday. Sir George Grey's recommendation of Major Atkin son is admitted by unprejudiced men to iteve been the only impartial advice he could have tendered, and was given in the. interests of the country to terminate" the, present deadlock.

Major Atkinson's negotiations for coali tion were further embarrassed by the resolu tion carried by Canterbury members yester day, insisting on having Sir Julius Vogel in any Ministry claiming their suppoit. All were present at this meeting except Messrs Reeoj, Wakefield, and Turnbull. The hostility of some of the Atkinson party, including more than one member ot' his Cabinet, against Sir Julius A rogel, is of the m«st inveterate kind, and the choice oVI sacrificing some of his own staunch fol lowers iv order to form a coalition was an, unpleasant alternative. On the other hand, he felt he could not ignore the de mands pressed with so much determination and unanimity by Jarge sections in the South. Then tho singular loyalty and brotherhood of Vogel and Siiout, vv-bo ap peared to have taken up tile position of standing or falling together, ant? ts have, imbued a large number of their followers with the same idea, was another source oS embarrassment. The negotiations were continued all yesterday till late at niVht with varying su c;sf,so ne members offexng to bet that another dissolution must follow. Members Sick of the Delay. Tho prospect of a dissolution, however, is enough to frighten members, who have disagreeable election recollections fresh in, thoir minds, into supporting any Govern ment, even one conducted by his Satanic Majesty, and they have become as weary o$ the loss of time and idling about as the country is. This feeling has greatly strengthened the chances of any Govern ment that might be formed even without a coalition. Tho Vogel Fooling to CantOrb_ry. The unanimity of Canterbury members ro Sir Julius Vogel" is disputed. It is asserted that tho meeting yesterday was not so large as represented, and several members declared their dissent from the resolution adopted. Some say that his solid Canter bury support does not exceed nine votes, Mr Stout's Movements. Mr Stout has received another urgent suipmons to Dunedin to attend a case. He will leave on Friday unless something arises to detain him. A meeting of his supporters has been convened for to-day to consider the situation. The Atkinson Party. All the late Ministers have placed them selves entirely in Major Atkinson's hands, none of them pressing their personal claims for consideration in the selection of his now colleagues. Martini-Henry Blflns for Volunteers. The gallant defenders of their country will bo interested to learn that it is the in tention of Mr Levestain to ask the Minister of defence to-morrow whether he will sup ply tho volunteers of the colony with Martini-Henry rifles instead of the obsolete Snider rifles. Singlo Voting at Elections, The Plurality of Votes Bill, introduced by Mr Barron, provides that any person voting; in respect of more than one electorate at general elections, shall be considered guilty of offences under act, and liable on conviction before one or more Justices of Peace to im prisonment for any term not exceeding twelve months. The qualification is a residential one, and tho bill provides that returning officers shall put the question whether or not the applicant had previously voted. A false answer is to be deemed an offence. Other Now Measures. i Mr Cad man has given notice of a Work men's Lien Bill, and Mr Steward of a bill : to amend the Licensing Act, 1881. Mr i Bradshaw has come out as tho champion of ■ oppressed females, and he has now in tho * hands of the printers a bill to amend the. : Employment of Females and Others Act, i ISSI. A second bill svhich he is to intro duce, defines and regulates the hours of labour within the colony. Petitions. ! Tho Petitions Committee will havo its [ work cut out for it when it is under way. Seventy petitions have already been pre -1 sontcd, and of these a largo proportion are I from Auckland. The greater number con sist ot requests for grants of land. ; Drastic Licensing Proposals. I Mr Shrimski's bill amending the Licens -1 ing Act is a stringent measure. It pro ' vides that persons convicted of selling ! without a license shall bo imprisoned : without the option of a fino for not less than 1 one month, and not exceeding throe ; that i persons may be convicted of illegal sale ■ when made by a servant, agent, or other ■ person in the house of accused ; and that > thero shall be no appeal whatever from the ! conviction. ' The VogeMtes Determined. j. At the caucus of the Stout-Vogel party B to-day, Mr Stout announced Major Atkin -5 son's final refusal of their proposals. Dis j cussion ensued, in the course of which a j general expression of opinion was made that , they should insist on Stout and Vogel 3 together, like the Siamese twins. ,No . resolution was carried. The meeting j having arrived at this understanding, ad journed till to-morrow to await the result k of the Atkinson caucus this afternoon. 0 Conference Between Major Atkinson and Sir George Grey. The settlement of affairs appeared this B morning farther off than ever. Major n Atkinson had an interview with Sir George Croy, but it is believed that the land tax V prevented any cordial agreement cr co " operation between them, Major Atkinson adhering firmly to the property tax. Further Particulars of the Nego tiations. o I havo obtained a more complete and i authoritative account of the negotiations - between Major Atkinson and Mr Stout. rj The proposal was that each should nominate j four members of the Ministry, the House - being asked to grant an additional Minister; n that Mr Stout should also have the right s to nominate a member of the Executive i' without portfolio, making five out of nine, o These terms wero submitted last night,: f and this morning Major Atkinson saw i Mr Stout, who said ho could not make any modification. Major Atkinson's proposals being finally rejected, he told Mr Stout that his party refused to have anything to do with any Ministry of which Sir Julius Vogel was a member, This ter minated the negotiations which were com pletely broken off.

THE STOUT - VOGEL PARTY DIS CARDED.

Major Atkinson Convenes tho Grey Party.

The result of Major Atkinson's negotiations with Stout and Vogel yesterday was a de mand by the latter that both he and Mr Stout should be in the new Ministry, with the right of nominating another member of the Cabinet. These terms Major Atkinson positively, refusedj to accept, and broke oil' the negotiations. He has summoned all who voted for the want-of confidence motion to meet at half-past two to-day to determine whether he should pro ceed with the formation of a Ministry.

The Canterbury Malcontents.

Tho attitude of a Canterbury section in refusing to recognise any nomination from amongst their members except Sir Julius Vogel, causes great difficulty. A strong feeling prevails among the Atkinson-Grey party that ho should form a cabinet with out reference to Vogel, and take the benches, relying on securing a majority of the House for bis policy. A caucus of Stout-Vogel supporters was held to-day at eleven to consider the situa tion.

The Stout-Vogol Caucus.

Thirty-five persons were present at the Stout-Vogol caucus. Sir Julius Vogel was among tho number. Mr Stout stated that Major Atkinson had submitted a proposal to him offering to take him into the Cabinet with any two Canterburysupportersthe Can terbury members might nominate, provided V that Sir Julius Vogel was excluded. Tbe caucus was almost unanimous iv its resolu-:, tion to insist upon both Stout and Vogel. '■ There wore, however, two or three who dissented and refused to be bound in that way. It is the wish of the caucus that, ,'? Major Atkinson should go "in with his own party, and that Sir Julius Vogel should move a no-confidence motion. ■■ Sir Georgo Grey and the Land Tax, Sir George Grey is arranging for a meet- : . ing of members to consider the question of a . - .' t £ffi*g*gjg
