DEFEAT OF THE STOUT-VOGEL MINISTRY.

BY TKIiKGHAPIL-SPKCIAIj REPORTEII,

Weixinuton, this duy

The Premier Throv/s Up the Sponge,

1L! became known about 10 o'clock la=!

night that lho Government having counted noses, a:id found they wore in a consider ablo mi'iority, were resolved not to extend tho dob.ito, but if possiblo come to a division at once. When the Premier spoke ho challenged them to thin, and the Opposition, though evidently taken by surprise, accepted the challenge, and the division was taken snnn after midnight, amid suppressed excitement. Previous calculations had placed tho Opposition majority at. between 10 and 15, and when defeat was seen to bo curtain, members Hocked to the stronger side, and the result was a majority of 10 against the Govern ment.

Sir George Grey and all the Auckland members, except Captain Morris, voted with the majority.

Analysis oi the Voting,

Tho analysis of the division list shows tliat except Mr Fergus (Opposition), absent through illness; Air Garriek, a .supposed Ministerialist, also absent; and Tuiarou, who withdrew, tho whole House either voted or paired, Wi Pore and To Ao, two Maori members, intended not to vote, but, remaining in tho House through ignorance of the rides, were compelled to record their votes, and therefore neutralised each other. Ihaka llakuouo, tho Maori member for tho Northern District, went with Mr Hobbs into tho Opposi tion lobby. Tho feeling of all tho natives was opposed to Mr Bryce'a native policy. All the Nelson and West Coast members, except Messrs Seddon and Bevan, voted with the Opposition, and tho only North Island members who voted with the Govern ment were Mr Ballanco, Captain Morris, Messrs Samuel, Fisher, and Wi Pere. Threo Canterbury members—Messrs Grigg, Koeso, and Wakefleld — voted with the Opposition, and 1" with tho Government. Tho Jonah who Sank the Government Ship. The " Times" to-day, in commenting on tho division, Bays—" One begins to onter tain a faint suspicion that Sir Julius Vogel was thoroughly dissatisfied with his first efforts at Cabinet-making, and determined to do something which might lead to the Fpeody destruction of tho work. If that was the object of taking Captain Morris into tho Cabinet, it was successful, inasmuch as it added to the number of those who voted for Mr Thomson's amendmont." Captain Morris Further Crlticisod. The " Post" last night sharply criticised tho appointment of Captain Morris to the Ministry. It says lie had before been in closo conlidenco and sympathy with tho Atkinson Cabinet, and, except on its native lands policy, was understood to be in sympathy with their measures. It declares that he will not be recognised by Auckland A3 representing it, and cannot strengthen the Ministry, The writer further condemns the allotment of the portfolio of Com missioner of Customs to Captain Morris, and observes that as an ex-military ollieor and sottler he knows nothing of mercantile .matters. The Scene in tho House. There was a largo attendance in tho .House, and all the galleries wore we'll tilled. .Mr Fisher, member for South Wellington, appeared in his neat for tho first time, but was not sworn, anil Dr. Newman afterwards asked leave of absence for him for a fort night on account of ill health, which was granted. Notices of motion wore passed on with the usual formalities, whon Mr Thomson, of Clutha, gave notice to move that tho Go vernment do not command the confidence of the House. The announcement was re ceived with loud Opposition cheers. Mr Macandrow looked surprised, and nervously lidgotod with his spectacles. -Mr Thom son had always been classed as one of his i<taunche3t personal supporters. Tho House was proceeding to further business, when Sir George Groy asked the Premier whether it was usual to go on with business in tho face of such a motion. The Premier thought it would bo a pity to deprive membei-3 of the benefit of their At a subsequent stage, when Mr Richard son, in reply to a question, spoke of intro ducing a bill, Major Atkinson challenged the Government's right to give notice of such intentions. Upon tho appointment of sessional and standing committees being reached, the Premier avoided challenging a division by notifying that ho would defer the appointment of all committees except the Library and other necessary committees, which he would move with permission of the House. This was granted. The Proposer and Seconder of the Address. Mr J- S. McKonzie, who moved tho Addreaa-in-Reply, is a young journalist now conducting the "Mount Ida Chronicle," which is tho paper that first sent Mr De Lautour to Parliament. He ap peared in a full dress suit. He opened his speech before a rather thin House, but crowded public, press, and ladies' galleries. Most of the ladies had come furnished with fancy work of various sorts, and after taking stock of the young orator, they plied their needles industriously. On rising, Mr McKenzie was greeted with rounds of applause from all sides of tho House. He srioke in a clear voice, with a marked Scotch accent. His speech, though not remarkable as an oratorical effort, or ornate, was well constructed, ond was delivered in a good, clear voice. Mr Walker, who seconded the addrc-as, is whip for the Vogel Party. Ho is atall, spare man, with fair hair, and represents Ashbur ton where his farm is situated, and in which he holds the position of Chairman of County Council. His speech was slow, hesitating, and rather jerky, and the mat ter strongly Conservative in tone. The Address-in-Reply itself, like _ all similar documents, consisted merely in a repetition of tho Governor's speech, prefac ing each paragraph with an expression ot agreement with the opinions and promises which His Excellency has been pleased to make known therein. The Mover of No-Confidence. Mr Thomson, of Clutha, who proposed the amendmont to the Speech informing His Excellency, in the closing paragraph, that this House had no confidence in His Excellency's advisers, is an elderly, retired Scotch minister. Ho held the portfolio of Lands in the Grey Ministry for a period of less than three months as a colleague of Mr Macandrew. He speaks with a Scotch accent, and in a rather disagreoable nasal tone, but possesses a good fund of quick, Scotch wit. He made two or three very good hits in the course of a rather brief speech. The Now Member for "TalUee-Talkee.' Mr Hatch, of Invercargill, is a florid, stout man, about forty-five years old, whose name is known in connection with a rather celebrated sheep-wash. His delivory is confident, but decidedly involved, develop ing impotont conclusions from vague and uncertain premises. Ho talks along with tho fluency of one who is no tyro at public address, and with tho air of a man who has been accustomed to conquer with volubility rather than by terßO masiveness. It is to be hoped for the sake of business that he will loam early the lesson which som&j young members tako a whole Parliament to understand — that their influence in the Houso is in inver3o ratio to their loquacity. The Premier's Speech. Mr Stout spoko with great vigour and force, showing ho had lost none of his old debating power. From his speech it was Bhown the Government did not intend to protract tho debate, but meant to tempt their fate at once. Other Speakers. Mr Buckland, of Waikouaiti, was called up on the spur of tho moment by Mr Stout's challenge about deserters from their ranks. He spoke sensibly, and made a special point of the taulvtaMHyol ittin" the South against tho North. MrGiTl/es proved himself a most effective sneaker in a vigorous assault on Govern ment borrowing* The debate throughout was well sustained.

THE LATEST.

THE MINISTRY RESOLVE TO RESIGN.

Who Will Bo Sept For?

Wellington, this afternoon.

A Cabinet meeting was held in Sir Julius Vogel's room at noon to-day. They will announce their resignation on meeting tlie House at 2.30. .„ . It is expected that Mr Thomson will lie sent for, and that he will advise the Gover nor to summon Sir Sir George Grey. '

There is general comment in the lobbies to-day on tho largeness of tho majority, which exceeded expectations, but tho Go vernment knew they were losing votes every day they remained in office, and that further lobbying was futiie.

A Canterbury Wail Over the Defeat CjJRIfITCHUUI'M, this day.

This morning's "Press" says:—"The Stout combination has proved a disastrous failure, the vote taken this morning being a tolerably accurate indication, we imagine, nf the feeling of the country. Tho Premier, in ono of the noblest and most statesman like speeches ever made in tho House, gave his reasons at once for going to a division, Tho majority has placed itself before the country in a most humiliating position. Tho House deliberately determined to enter upon a course of Parliamentary chaos which will bo without parallel in the history of ro presentative Government. The Opposition won dishonourable victory, and it is out of its power to make a proper use of it.

How the Country Receives the News1

Cambriuuf, this day

The news of the defeat of the Govern ment was received here with very mixed feelings. Some are glad, others rejoice ; some are sorry, others much grieved. Those who believed that Sir Julius Vogel would remodel the present native land laws are now afraid that Mr Bryce may be recalled to power.

RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY.

AIIM. W. THOMSON SENT FOU.

He Undertakes to Form Ministry

The result of the Cabinet meeting was that the Ministers tendered their resignn nation this morning, and Mr Thomson, oi Clutha, has been sent for. The retiring Ministers were not asked for, ami therefore did not tender any advice. Mr Thomson had a long consultation with Mr Ormond after receiving the Governor's summons. ill1 Thomson told the Governor that ho believed he could form a Ministfy. The Governor has granted him a reasonable time to try to do so.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

:»Y TKLEOIIAPH.-SPKOIAL RKI'OUTKU.)

Wklmxi.tox, this day

Tho "Hansard" Debate.

It is comforting to know we have already got over the annual debate on "Hansard." Mr Hurst house took advantage of Mr Seddon's motion for further free distribution of "Hansard" among Road Boards and County Councils to force the first division of the session on a proposal to abolish

"Hansard.'' lie found, however, only 12 followers against "-'. Tho motion by Mr Moss to discontinue the twenty true copies given to members received more support, but was negatived by 21 to 43 ; and Mr Seddon's motion for free distribution to local bodies, with additional facilities for sale at post offices at the bare cost of print ing, was carried. This motion will make a further addition to the already heavy cost of a questionably useful service, but mem bers cling to their privileges . The carrying ' of this motion against the protest of both the present and late Premier, who wished the matter referred to the Committee, does not look as if the House were bent on retrenchment. '• Go to Howick! "—Membors Have Sonic Fun. Mr Buekland's motion for an address to the Governor to place a gum on the estimates to provide a wharf at Ilonick provoked a roar of laughter from members, who recog nised Major Harris's pet motion, which hu< appeared on the order paper regularly for several years, and on ono occasion came very near defeating a Ministry. Magnanimity Makes Moro Fun. Sir George Grey's withdrawal of his bill to abolish plurality of voting from an ex pressed desire to give a chanco to Mr liarron, a younger man, and to whom tho honour of carrying such a measure was of moi c importance than to himself, immensely tickled tho House. Notices of Motion. Mr ilamlin asks tho Commissioner of Customs whether the Government will cause guiding lights to be placed on beacon at Manukau Heads. Mr Holmes asks tho Government if New Zealand Government have lent or advanced any public moneys to any companies who have made or projected railways undei District Railway Acts, or havo invested any public moneys in shares or debentures in such companies. New Bills. Leave was given to introduce the follow ing bills:—Mr Ormond, the Napier Har bour Board Empowering and Loan Bill ; Mr Fulton, Bill to amend Anatomy Act, 1575; Mr Bradshaw, to amend Employ ment of Females and othor Act, ISSI ; Mr B. Bradshaw'sßill to Define Regular Hours of Labour Within tho Colony ; Mr Steward, School Committees Election Bill, Workmen's Lien Bill. Mr Fisher was sworn in before leave of absence was asked for him. Wahanui in Wellington. Wahanui's portly figure is seen about the lobbies. Ho intends making a long stay in Wellington to got land and railway matters settled up with the Government. Dunedin Benevolent Society. A deputation of Dunedin members waited on Mr Montgomery to-day ro the claims of their Benevolent Society.

MR BRABAZON'S REMOVAL FROM THE NELSON-STREET SCHOOL.

Petition to tho Houso of Representatives,

(BY TELEGRAPn —SPECIAL REPOUTKK.)

Wellington, this day. Tiik petition of Joseph Brabazon, school master, which was presented to the House yesterday afternoon, is a lengthy document. The petitioner points out that he has been engaged in teaching for 43 years, of which 24 have been in Auckland. He says that when the provincial system of education was brought into force in 1873, he gave up to the Board his private school, which paid him in weekly, monthly, and quarterly re ceipts more than he has got from tho Board at any time for the last eleven years. He asserts that the continued neglect of the Auckland Board of Education to enlarge his school prior to the present building being erected caused a pecuniary loss to him in capitation of £300, being at the rate of £75 per annum for four years. After com plaining of injustice at the hands of the Com mittee and Board, Mr Brabazon proceeds to say :—" This state of affairs is caused by a partial committee, who have got up a trivial charge of slapping with a cane, and called it cruel beating; and this contrary to the merits of the case, inasmuch as neither the female teacher in the same room nor any of the teachers have been examined by the Committee as to the discipline or mode of punishment adopted ; nor has tho child been examined by a disinterested party to give reliable evidence thereon; nor has tho female assistant's letter been sent to the Board; and your petitioner avers that this child was not in any way punisheddifferently from hundreds of others, whose parents have thanked him for their proper correction." The petitioner pro ceeds to say that neither inefficiency nor neglect can be charged against him, the average of passed during the last five years having been 83 % per cent., and that for the last year S3.}. The petitioner concludes by claiming acquaintance with Sir G. M. O'Rorke, Messrs Hobbs, Moss, Tolo, and Dargaville, and praying that his case may receive consideration.

In answer to his letter, the Town Clerk has received a cablegram from Messrs Grainger and D'Ebro, architects, of Mel bourne, stating that they cannot return an answer until they receive back their com petitive plan 3 for tho Freo Library, which Mr Philips is asked to forward at once.

During the past fortnight Inspector G oldie has attended ta 104 complaints of nuisances, issued 31 notices to abate nuisances, registered 22 dogs, thus bringing the total registered canine population 9S'>, impounded 6 dogs, sold 3, and drowned 3. No case 3of infectious disease havo been reporlei, and in noting this circumstance he says: — " The city is healthy at present, but great vigilance and supervision will requira to he exercised to keep small-pox and cholera fronj beiag Imported."

The schooner Julia Pryce went ashore at Rarotonga on July 27, and sustained slight damage.

THE INFANTICIDE CASE.

A coKO.NiAi, inquiry into the circumstances

touching tho death of the child Emily

Wilson tiok place at the Auckland Hotel at two o'clock this afternoon before Dr. Philson, coroner, and a jury, of whom Mr Stimpson was chosen foreman. Mr Super intendent Thomson represented the police,

and Mr Brassey intimated thatheappearedto watch the proceedings on behalf of the mother of the child. The jury More sworn, and viewed tho body. Sume delay was occa sioned through the nun-arrival of tho ac cused, who, it transpired, had fainted in an adjoining-department. After several minutes spent in waiting, tho aceusod, who appeared very weak, was escorted into the room on the arm of Doteetivo Twohey, and accom modated with a chair near Mr Brassey. The first witness called was

Dr. F. W. Wright, who deposed : 1 am a duly - qualified medical prac titioner, residing in Parnell. I saw the body of tho deceased this day, and identify it as an infant at whose birth I was present. [At this atage witnesses were ordered out ol the room at the request of Mr Erassoy.] The child was born on the .'iOtli July at tho house of Mr Wake ham, living at Brighton. A woman, who gave tho name of Mrs Wilson, was the mother. She is now present, Tho child was a female, and was quito healthy at its birth, and mature. The mother was un seemly in her behaviour during her confine ment. She screamod all tho time sho was in labour, indicating groat pain. The labour was a natural one, and I do not think that her health was impaired thereby. It was continued long cnouirh to do so. By mi seeming, I moan unwarrantably, she kept the whole house awake. Thoro was no flood ing or hemorrhage. She progressed favour ably until tho fourth day, when she took some brandy and complained of abdominal pains The nurse told me she had had some brandy. The nurse's name was Mrs Norrie. The nurse told mo that the mother would not have the child brought up at tho breast. 1 then directed that the child's food should be two parts milk and one water, swootonod with sugar, but I wished her to suckle the child. After the four day, hot fermenta tions were applied to tho accused, and ano dynes used to relieve pain. Theso menus did relievo the pain, and everything went on favourably afterwards. She did not sutler from distended breasts. At the time of tho labour there was no symptom of puerperal mania, but. sho was hysterical. She did not seem depressed in spirits, but appeared to have a repugnanco to tho baby. Tho reason I wanted her to give it tho breast was to make her fond of it. I never saw hor tako the child in her arms. 1 con tinued to attend the accused till the ilth inst., and whon 1 left her she was out of bed and going about tho house. I think that she made a good recovery under the circumstances. Ido not know if it wanhcrtirstconiinomoiit—sho was an utter stranger to me. I neither saw or heard anything of tho accusad until Tuesday last when I road an account of tho finding of .the boJy in tho Staij. I did not sco tho body till to-dry. It is a common thing that women are in a peculiar frame of mind after confinement, and in this state will often do very extraordinary things. An at tempt by the mother to destroy tho child in very frequent. Tho accused on ono occa sion complained to mo that tho nurse lot tho child cry, and so prevented her (the accused) from sleeping. In cases where mothers are likely to destroy their children we have premonitory symtoms, and take stops ac cordingly.

By the foreman : The woman was in a lighly nervous state at tho time of the about.

By a juror: I did not recommend tho brandy.

By the Coroner: Whon I slept tho child was in pood hoalt.h and likely to live. My only objection to tho woman's general demeanour was that sho would not take the child to tho breast. It was an unnatural proceeding.
