THE WANT OF CONFIDENCE MOTION.

Proceedings In tho Honse.

(BY TIXEGK.VrU.—rAUM/JHSTARY

KKI'OKTEU.)

Wellington, this day. In the House yesterday afternoon, Major Atkinson intimated that ho should to morrow movo a eorios of resolutions traversing tho financial proposals of the Government. During this afternoon ho would placo them on the Ordor Paper. Ho asked the Government to givo him to morrow night for tho purpose. (Cheers.) If tho Government woro not prepared to do so, then of course ho must simply givo notieo that on going into Committoo of Supply, lio would r.iovo. Under tho circumstances, however, lio did not think ho should bo asking too much in requesting tho Government to allow him on tho following night to move his resolutions M a substantive motion.

Tho Pkemiek said that of courso it would bo diflicult to say what coureo the Govern ment would taUo unless they know in what terms tho lion, gentleman was prepared to inoVo. (Hear). Major Atkinson said: The resolutions ho waa going to proposo wcro vory reason ablo, and judging by what tho Government had already accepted, ho hoped thoy would accept them. Not Only should the Govorn mont accept thc=o last resolutions, but ho trusted that they would fee tlioir way to taking immediate steps towards giving effect to them. (Laughter )

The Pukmikr .said he hoped tho Houso would sco itH way to adjourn, and accordingly moved its adjournment till 7.30 p.m tomorrow (Thursday), Major Atkinson': 1 might suggest before tho Premier so moves that ho should wait till he receives resolutions. Perhaps ho would prefer to wait till ho has seen tho nntico of motion. To bo frank, thoro is no doubt that tho motion will bo of that nature that an ordinary government would take it as n vote of no-confkknco. (Ohoers And taught er.) Tho TiiKAsuujin asked tho member for Egmont whether ho proposed to allow Ministers to see tho resolutions boforo bring ing thorn down. (Crios of " Oh.")

Major Atkinson : I said I proposed to placo them en tho Order i'apor during tho afternoon. Certainly I shall not submit them to tho lion, gcntloman. (Cheers.)

Mr Maoandukw thought the discussion should not bo prolonßed. The mombor for Egmont had given notieo of v no-conlidonco motion. That could not bo gainsaid. (Hoar)

Mr Bakkon felt concerned at any un necessary wasting of timo. Tho session had nlroudy lasted a long Umo, and hon. members wished to got homo. Ho was quite duro that uny motion tho hon. men bor for Egmont moved would bo in such terms that membors had mado up their mini Is as to what thoy woro going to do. (Cries (if "No.'1) Many years' oxperionco in Parliament showed that long debutes rarely altered a vote. Ho thoreforo submitted that if tho Premier and tlio hon. member for Egmont agreed to adjourn till 7 ;)0 that night, nnd then went on with tho motion and disposed of it, members would bo onablt-d to get back [to their businesses or their toni-titiionts.

Mr Uakciavillk: I think tho country qx pocts tlio wholo question to bo thoroughly Jubatcd. (Hoar.) It is easy to soy now that wo objoct to twenty-four hours' delay, but I look upon that as v puro protenco. Ido not know yet wiiat tho resolutions aro I should like very much to .sco them and to coneiilor tliem, bocauso tho direction in which 1 vote depends upon tho terms of thoso resolutions. I have somo faith in tho lion, mombor for Kgmont still, notwithstanding all 1 havo ilouo unil said in tha past. (C rios of "Oh I" and laughter.) Vot, although I havo somo faith in him, I havo not blind fnith, and do not believo altogether in his infallibility. I want to coe theso resolu tions and to consider thorn, and I daro say oilier lion, members are in thosame position. 1 hopo that tho Ilouso will be adjourned till to morrow. (Hoar.) Mr Sampf.ls .-^ii<l that virtually a no conlidcnco motion was to bo proposed, and urged that tho debnto should bu proceeded with that afternoon or overling. Major Atkinson : Will tho Premier make it clear that ho will permit mo to movo the-e resolutions t Tlio I'kv.mikr : Certainly. (Cheers.) I think it is to bo regretted that n notico of want of confidence cannot bo given without throwing out taunts iif,'ainst tho (lovornmont. Wo aro an ordinary Government, but I must say we havo mot with an extraordinary Opposition, beeauro wo novar knew who was leador of tho Opposition. (Laughter.) Wo havo boon lato in finding that out, and I can only congratulate the hon member for Egmont that at last ho has screwed up his courage to take tho lead, and not lot it pass into other hands. (Hear.) 1 think wo ought not to forco on tho motion if the hon. member has not yet had time to consult his supporters and to word tho resolutions co as to got their votes. Tho motion for adjournment till 7DO to morrow night was then put and carried on the voices. Tho following aro tho resolutions prepared by Major Atkinson, and circulated in mem bers' pigeon hole* at G last evening :—"That having in view tho financial position of the colony, this Ilouso is of opinion—l. That tho oxpendituro from the Public Works Fund for tho year ISSSSO should not exceed ono million. 2. That in tho present condition of tho finances of tho colony, it is not desirable that tho fiovornment should undertako tho construction of tho East, West Coast, and Nelson Rail ways. 3rd. That no new lino should bo sanctioned this session, 4th. That oneof tlio principal objects oft hoconstruction of tho North Island trunk railway boing to opon up tho intorior of tho North Island for settlement, and sooing that thoOovernmont havo negloctcd to mako arrangomonts for securing tho land necessary for this purpose, no furthor oxponditur« should bo incurred boyond tho pregont contracts, and for tho complof.ion of working survoys until satisfactory arrangomonts havo boon mado for tho acquisition of not loss than tivo hundred thousand acres of land for settlement. sth. That a roduc , tion of not loss than thirty thousand pounds upon the ostimatos of tho Consolidated Fund as brought down Bhould bo made for tho year ISSS-G, and a reduction of not less than £SO,OOO for tho year 1886 87, without taiißferring any of tlio amount now charged against Consolidated Fund to loan. 6. That tho Government bo requested to take immediate steps to givo offect to the abovo resolutions."

"NEGRO LIFE AND CHARACTER IS WEST AFRICA."

A MO3T interesting locture was delivered to an appreciative audience lust ovoning on tho above subject, by tho Rev. C. Worboys, in the Unilod Methodist Free Church, at tho corner of Pitt and Vincent stroots, Mr J. Knott occu^ pled tho chair, and briefly introduced tho lecturer, who K»ve a scrießof recollections of hla throa yours rc^denco in tficrra Leone, Weat i 'rioa. lie paid v tributu to the memory of the so noblo pioneer, of Christianity und civilisation who lirst txplorto. tho country. He then recounted some of hla own experiences unionist tho blacks, and pointed to Iho vast Held that was st)U open ta imaeionary enterprlao in those regions, flisnn ccdutua illustrative of the chlof characteristics of tho negroes woro pnrtlculnrly interesting, and plainly showed that they wero an In telligcnt raco taken aa a body. Ho Hated that ho had neror met bettor ncish boura and friends than the nogroes amongst whom some portion ot his life wasspont. Iho lecturer described tho scenory of the Sierra L^ono as remarkably beautiful. He also reverted to tho horrors of tho slave trade on tho Congo, outing that it was not unusual to lose 50 per cent, of thonumbor of slaves shipped, and exproasod hts happiness that this traffic was now abolished, With regard to tho climate, ho stated that 91 inches of water foil in three months; whereas only 33 inches por year fell in Manchester. It wax in West Africa that ho first saw Iho prin ciples of tho Local Option Bill carried oui by tho natlvos, who forbade the Bale of rum amongst, the people. Tho principal article 8f diet was rico, ot which largo quantities woro produced. OianKCS, bananas, mangoes, mnlzo, cassavnr, aiißaroane, yam, ginKer, arrowroot, coifee, pnlm oil, and cotton wero amongia the main prodtiots of tho country. He then spoke feelingly of tho depredations committed upon his flocks by the leopards, and produced a skin of ono for tho audience to examine. Ho also g.ve some vory amuaine anecdotes of tho insect H(o ot tho Sierra Leono, dealing particularly with tho ants. The locturo was intoroßting and amusing, and at its closo a voto of thanks was accorded the lecturer. Before tke mejting disporsed, a col loction was gathorcd ou behalf of tho mission funds.

THE ISLAND TRADE

Vr'uatHe nnd Exhaustive Koport to tho

Chamber of Commorco.

The roport of Mr J. L. Kelly, the delegate ropresonting tho Auckland Chamber of Commerco in connection with the inaugura tion of tho new mail service by tho steamer Janot Nicoll, has been published by tho Chamber in book form. It ia a very ably written treatise on the commercial pros pects of tho South Sea Island trade. Mr JColly describos separately each of tho groups of islands visited, viz., Tonga. Samoa, Cook (Rarotonga), and Tahiti. Ho supplies full and reliablo information relative to the form of government existing in each island, the imports and ex ports, tho numbor of European and nativo inhabitant?, the description of European goods consumed in the several islands, tho currency and other trading difficulties, the names of tho business houses already engaged iv the trade, tho customs duties and shipping charges, ship ping statistics, and a vast amount of other commercial and statistical data of very grout valuo to mercantile men who are con sidering the question of entering this held of commerce. , We irather from the report that out of a total import of goods of foreign manufacture into Tonga into 1883, amounting in value to £90,000, England and tho colonies supplied £60 UOO, and Germany only £10,000. Tho exports, however, wero £GO,OOO wortli to Germany, againat £25,000 to England and the colonies, showing how well organised tho German trading stations are. The nature of tho imports and exports ia indi cated in tho report, Tho delegato was convinced by what ho saw that thero is a good opening for New Zoaland produce in this group, which now imports Hour from Adelaide, via Sydney, aud biscuits and timber from San Francisco. The report quotes ruling quotations for tho various classes of imported goods, and also diseutsts the currency difficulty. A very interesting chapter is devoted to Samoa, and tho difficulties besetting its weak native government. The imports into1 Samoa in IBSI aro estimated at £45,203 — of which £30,952 came Irom England and tho colonies, £15,409 from Ger many, and £1,872 from the United States. Tho expoits wore £32,000 to England and tho Colonies, £48,486 to Germany, and £2 000 to the United States. Out of a total export of £79,456, copra represented £09,076. The Gorman land claims com prise about 96,000 acres. English (chietly McArthur and Co.) 235,000 acres, and American 210,000 acres; Complaints were made of the dearness and inferior quality of tho New Zealand timber, flour, and bis cuits, which aro brought intd competition with similar goods from San Francisco. It Was also stated that Sydney eoap is pre forred to Auckland soap, because it is found to shrink less. Tho debased cur rency and irregular exchange here, as in other islands, aro obstacles to commerce. In the section devoted to Tahiti and de pendencies, Mr Kelly notices the extraor dinary falling-off which has taken place in the commerce between the Society Group and New Zealand. Fifteen years ago, when trading schooners plied regularly between this port and l'apeeto, the total imports into tho Group wero valued at £120,000, one-third of whish came from Now Zealand and Australia. Now, out of a total of £179,120 worth of imports, these colonies only supply goods to tho Value ef £13,135. We have let go our hold on the trade, which, through our inertness, has been grasped by San Francisco merchants, and is carried on by a regular monthly lino of schooners. A atoamer has now also boon put on tho trade between Tahiti and Kan Francisco. Tho Auckland delegate considers that there is a good prospect of oponijig up a large and lucrative trade between Tahiti and Now Zealand. The import roturns exhibit a consider able' consumption of flour, Bait and preserved meats, dried and preserved fish, soap, timbor, biscuits, coal, cheese and buttor, potatoes, applea and other fruits, onions, etc. The trade of the Cook Islands is already nlmo?t entiroly in the hands of Auckland 1 merchants —29 vessels, out of a, total of 00 of all nationalities, hailing from this port.

The delogato in his concluding remarks declares that ho has formed a very high estimate of the possibilities of trade be tween Now Zealand and the islands of the South Pacific. From the statistics given, it is shown that the import and export trndo reached a total value of nearly £700,000, and of this, over a quarter of a million sterling is the increase of the last thirteen yoare. He believes that tho whole of this increase might have been saved for Now Zealand if tho colony had, at an oarlier stage, adopted a policy of encouraging commercial oxchange. He enumerates, in closing, the circumstances favourable and advorso to Novr Zea land trade, and recommends tho forma tion of a Now Zealand South Sea trading company under Government guarantee, with its island head-quarters at Snmoa ; the establishment of bankihs* agencies at Apia, Papeete, and Nukualofa ; tho repeal of duties on ifland products, and abolition of shipping charges at tho port of Aucklaad ; tho reduction of freight to tho islands;tho making of Auckland the terminal point of tho mail service, and the despatch of the eteamor every sixth instead of overy eighth week. Apponded to the report area number of carefully compiled statistical tablof. Wohave, in this notice, been able to do no more than skim tho surfaco of this ad mirable report, and cordially recommend all who are intero?ted in tho extension of Auckland trado in tho Pacific to procure a copy, which may bo obtained from the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, or the principal book-selling establishments, for tho low prico of one shilling.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Arch Hill Bridge

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,— I would not havo troubled you again if it wore not for tho miestatemont of your anonymous correspondent "Bridge" (it should havo bocn Bridget). Ho says the voto for tho Commercial Road was fairly givon, as the mooting was composed. I nover said it was not, but I maintain that the Kingaland residents at tending that meeting had no more right to vote than the inhabitants of Timbuctoo, as botween the inhabitants of Arch Hill and tho Government, in respect to any grant. Tho Government will not give anything to connect Kingeland with Arch Hill, and especially Commercial Road, a raad only in name, it being not more than 12 feet wido at the gully. Then as to cost and grade, your correspondent, " Bridge," who, I take it, is also one]of the many engineers of mushroom growth lately sprung up, says that it will surely cost less than the £3,500 estimated by the surveyor, whon tho Government Surveyor, Mr Hales, a gentleman I should take to be well up in his business, and not biassed /or any route, estimated tho cost of Commercial Road Bridge at £10,200, as against King-street, £3,000. ' Then, again, as to grado, this amateur engineer eaya Commercial Road is already mado on the Kingsland sido. Now, could any man not daft think for ono moment that a grade 1 in S, and in some placos of 1 in 5, is tit for wheeled traffic ? Any schoolboy will tell him different A horse could not pull an empty cart up it. Then your correspondent, "Bridge," talks about substantial proof, which ho can get as far as King-streot is concornod, tho Go vcrnmont giving £2,000 to the Board's £1,000. A gontloman has promised £500, and I boliovo the residents aro good for another £200, leaving only £300 to bo found by tho Road Board. Then again, as to tho bridge, Commercial Koad's proposed bridge is 571 feet long, 50 feet high, against King street's proposed bridgo, 200 foet long and 40 foot high.—Yours, otc, James Curtis. [This subject has been fairly and fully vontilated, and we cannot afford space for furthor correspondence with reference to it. If tho residents want the work done, they must bring influence to bear in tho right quarter. A petition to tho Government, backed by a guarantee of a substantial con tribution, would do more to settle the matter than many meetings and letters. —Ed. E.S ]

Kingsland Bridge.

(To the Editor.)

Sat,—Now that the rosidonts of this rising district havo taken the matter ol Kingsland Bridge into consideration, it is to bo hoped that they will not loavo any Etone unturned in order to arrive at a proper solution as to which is tho best road. Doubtloss large pro porty-owners will endeavour by tho golden wire to pull ono this way, others another, in order to enhanco the value of their land; but this question of individuality must be placed aside in order to confer collectively a benofit to the greater number of people by adopting tho Commercial Koad routo, this being in a direct lino to Kingsland station and OnoJninga, besides passing through a moro populous part. Tho grado eeonis to be the most difficult drawback, as it would cost eon» £500 more than Ujng-etreet,
