(FUOM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

Wellington, this day,

The New Government Measures. Mr Stoitt has been good enough to ex- . plain to me the principlo of the Government J measures introduced yesterday. That dealing with the reform of tho Logielativo Council provides that tho newly-appointed members shall hold offico for ten years, and that leave of nbsenco can only bo granted to any member for ono noason, Tho Patents Amendment Bill is devised to protect exhibitors at the Exhibition, it having been recently hold in a Division Court that tho exhibition of an invontion might deprive the invontor of his patent rights. The Canterbury and Otago Marriage Bill is to logalise certain marriagoe contracted in these provinces iv tho early days by persons not properly qualified. The legality of somo of these marriages has recently been questioned. Tho Administration Amendment Act is to remedy a elefoct in tho law affocting married women's property. Appointment of Wasto Lands Com mittee. In tho Ministerial motion for tho appoint ment of a Waste Lands Committoe there is moro than moots tho oyo. Up to four yoars (if/o, thoappointmont of the Uommitteo was always made on tho motion of tho Ministry Its functions wore tho consideration of all land bills, these measures being reported on by tho Committee boforo they could bo discussed in the House. It will thus bo seen that tho Committee had vir tually tho power of retarding the progress of any measuro affecting lands by merely neglecting to roport to tho House. In the session of ISBI, I think, Sir George Grey, then in Oppositicn, complained in tho Jlouso that ono of his bills had been wilfully dolayod by tho Committee, and such a fuss was caused about the mattor that tho House amonded the Standing Orders in the direc tion of depriving the Committoe of a powor which common sense showed to bo objoc tionablo. Themotion of which Mr Ballanco bus given notlco proposes to suspend tho amended Standing Order, No. 178, in order that tho Select Committee might "consist of twelve members to be appointed to consider all bills and petitions that may bo introduced into tho House affocting tho waste lands of tho Crown, and to report generally upon tho principles and provisions which thoy contain, with power to confer or sit togothor with any committee which may bo appointod by tho Legislative Council, and to furnish a joint or separate roport, and liavo power to send for persons or papers and records, three to be quorum." The motion is tlius an attempt to return to the objectionable practice, and I understand that when the Committee are on for consideration on Tuesday next this will be strenuously opposed by Sir Georgo Grey. As three of tho leading mombors of the Ministry—Stout, Vogel, and Ballance—were not in tho ilouso when the Standing Order was amended, it is just possiblo that they are not awaro of the objectionable nature of tho proposal they seek to introduce. Sir Goorgo Groy considers it wrong in principlo that a quorum of threo should usurp the func tion properly belonging to tho whole Houeo. Adoption of Children. The Adoption of Children Bill to be in troduced by Mr Stout was drafted by Mr Tole, who will probably pilot it through tho second reading and subsequent steps. At present district judges only havo the powor to mako orders for tho adoption of children ; but it is proposed to confer this power on rosident magistrates. Projected Judicial Reforms. Legislation will bo introduced this session greatly extending tho powers of resi dent magistrates, enabling libel and slander actions boing heard bofore thorn. There is now a hotter class of resident magistrates, and it to not improbable that the District Courts will bo entirely swept away. Tho "Post" on tho Governor's Spooon. Iho "Post" says tho Governor's Speech bcara tho appearance of having been cut down at tho laat moment. There are one or two rather remarkablo omissions, no roferonco boing made to the complete MUccosHthathasattondodtho establishment of the direct mail servico.and tho action of Now South Walos in despatching a colonial con tingunt tothoSoudan. Somo further allusion ini^lit also havo boon oxpectod to tho negotiations which took placo as to tho mmoxation of Samoa, ana kindred com munications from Fiji. As to tho announco monts in tho Spoocli, nono aro of a startling or unoxpoctod character. Tho Loci Go vonimont and Mativo Land legisla tion will evidontly bo mado subjects to bo doalt with, and on both tlieso the Go vernment must oxpoct that their proposals will bo violently arauilod, sovoroly criticised, and vigorously opposed. Tho announco mont that it ie proposed to establish a parcels post, and to introduce a very useful systom of postal notos, is highly satisfactory, and is, perhaps, tho greatest surpriso contained in theSpeoch; for of all Departments of tho Government tho Postal and Tolograph is tho most fossilised, and the ono which resists innovation or im provement tho most steadily. Tho "Evon ing Press " says if it bo the objoct of the Governor's Speoch to rocord nothing, an nounco nothing, oxplain nothing, and com mit tho Ministry to nothing, it is tho ablest spcoch that was evor put into tho hands of a Governor by his respon sible advisers. It is quite an arduous, intolloctual oxorciso to toil thrjugh tho wordy dulnoss of this intermin able rigmarole in search of somo solitary indication or suggoetion of political disclosure. As to the Native Lands Bills, it thinks that, as Mr Ballanco happens not havo tho remotest acquaint anco with tho question of native lands, tho measure will bo dropped, or else will upset tho Ministry. Tho Spooch as a whole is littlo bettor than vorbiar*o from beginning to end — vorbiago unrolioved by a einglo straightforward or tangible declaration of policy.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

FRIDAY, JUNE 12,

Now Bills.

A number of bills woro introduced, in cluding tho following:--Patent Act 1883 Amendment Bill (Sir J. Vogel), a Bill to amend tho laws relating to Fire and Marino Insurance Companies and Foreign Companies (Sir J. Vogel), Inventors' Protection Bill (Sir J. Vogel), a Bill to Abolish Plurality of Voting at Election of Members of Hosbb of Representatives (Sir G. Grey), Bill Relating to Encouragement of Fisheries in New Zealand (Sir J, Vogol), Bill Relating to Establishment of StatjForesta in Now Zealand (Sir J. Vogel), Bill to Regulate the Admission of Persons to Practice in the Courts of Law (Sir Geo. Groy), Bill to Provide Facilities in Courts of Inferior Jurisdication (Sir Goo. Grey). The Adjournment of tho Address. Mr Stout, in moving the adjournment of the HouEe, said Mr Bryce had men tioned to him that it would be desirable, as many members were not present, that the discussion on the Address-in-Reply be not taken this week, while the Govern ment were quite ready to go on with the business, and at the same time they did not wish to prevent any member being present and taking part in discussion, and wore quite agreeable that the mption should stand over till Tuesday, in which direction be moved.

Mr Bryoe said that personally he would rather the motion went on, but he did not think it quite fair to members who we>o absent—and in a certain sense reasonably absent —under the belief that the motion was unlikely to come on. Judging by the practice in previous sessions, he believed that the Government had exercised a wiee discretion in considering the convenience of members absent under tho belief that tho usual course would be followed.

Mr Stout having denied that the usual course was for the .Address in-Reply not to be moved the day following thodeliieryof tbespeech.MrMACANDKEwde precated tho courso adopted. He said he was delighted on arriving in Wellington to find the dobatj coming on to-day, and thought that business was meant, and there was to be an end of trumpery formality. It wag the duty of members to be pr sent (Hear).

Mr Wakefield also regretted the debate had not been gone on with. He hoped it would not be understood thatthey were going back to the old practice. Members should be in their places on the first day of the session unless they were going to obstruct the business of the colony. (Hear.) Tho House then adjourned.

All farmers, gardeners, and fruit-growers who do not want to stick fast In the mire of old-fashioned ignoranco, while tho mnrch of progre3B leaves them far behind, should take note of the fact that the New Zealand Fakmer like every other good rural journal, io published to keep thorn moving along the path of prowess with oredit and profit to themselves and their country.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

This weekly mooting of this body was hold yesterday aftornoon. Present - Professor Aldis (Chairman), Professor Tucker, and Messrs J. M. Clark, D. Goldio, J. 11. Upton j J. W. Carr, and S. Luke.

Finaxce.—The bank balancos up to date were stated to be :— Building Fund (credit), £4,240 12s 2d; Education Fund (debit), £1,150 15s 9d ; credit balance, as per pass book, £3,089 16s sd. Chairman's Report—This report statod that the consideration of tho Pakuranga Committee's letter relativo to examination had been deferred for Inspector's report. Miss Harkis had rosigned her position as assistant teacher of Mt. Hobson Boys' School, and the open scholarship held by Alex. Morrison was reported to be vacant. Girls' High School.—The Visiting Com mittee announced, with regret, the resigna tion of Miss Walker through ill-health, and stated that Miss Margaret Harris would fill the vacancy till the end of tho term in Augustnext. Withreferencetooxamination, tho Committee, after considering Professor Thomas's lottor, recommended the Board to request Professors Brown and Thomas, andthoKev. E. H. Gulliver, M.A., to under take the examination of the whole school, and to offer each examiner a fee of £25, tho examination papers to be printed in tho same form as that adopted for the Univer sity examinations. Tho Committee con curred with the Head-master in recommend ing that prizes should be awarded, one to each form, for excellence in English, Fronch, Latin, German, Mathomatics, and Natural Philosophy, besides one prizo for the upper and one for the lower school in oach of tho following subjects :— Drawing, singing, and sewing. No prize to bo given unless 75 per cent, of marks is reached. In addition, the Committee recom mended that certificates of merit should be issued on application to each pupil whoso general average of marks was not less than 50 por cent. Thoy could not recommend any remission of feo for non-attendance during part of a term. The report was adopted. Inspection of Schools.—The Committee appointed to roport upon arrangements for inspection of schools reported as follows : — " Your Committee, having examined the returns of the number of schools examined and inspected during last year, are of opinion that the Inspectors should be relieved of the duty of conducting the examinations for scholarships ; and that, in this case a suitable division of the district into three sections would enable the inspec tion and examination for standards to be efiiciently carried out by three Inspectors. Your Committee recommend that the arrangement of tho division of the district into threo parts bo entrusted to the Senior Inspector, Mr O'Sullivan, with tho understanding that tho same In spector shall not inspect the same school for two consecutive years, unless other wise specially ordered by the Board. Your Committee also recommend that the superintendence ot arrangements for inspec tion bo entrusted to MrO'Sullivan as Senior Inspector, and that the labour thus involved bo taken into consideration each year in apportioning the work among the three Inspectors ; and that each Inspector keep a diary of tho work actually done by him on each day, to be forwarded to tho Board on the last day of each month. Your Com mittoo also recommend that the salary of Mr Fidlor bo increased to the rate of £400 a year." The report was adopted. Mb O'Uoxooiiue.—A letter was received from the Ararimu Committee accepting tho application of Mr Dennis O'Donogl.uo for tho position of head teacher. As Mr O'Donoghue was awaiting a reply to an ap plication for an appointment in the South, tho Board deforred for a weok its considera tion of tho matter. Tho Board agreed that tho costs incurred by Mr Flavell in defending an action for chastising a boy should bo paid by the Board.—Mr Allright was instructed to report as to tho cost of raising the fence at Nelson street School.—lt was agreed, on tho roport of the Inspector, that ono master should supervise the teach ing of singing in Auckland city and surrounding districts, andjihat there should bo no change at tho Thames or Hamilton.— Mr Yoi ng receives notice that his services aro dispensed with.—Several country ap plications of minor importance were dis posed of.

CORRESPONDENCE

Dofaclng tlio Pavoraonto,

(To tho Editor.)

Sin, —It is about time that some steps were taken to put a stop to tho new mode of advertising adopted by somo of our Queen street trado?men, who "can't be beat." I don't know so much about what thoy sell, but I do know they can't bo beat at dis figuring the footpath with their scribbling. It is high timo a stop was put to it, or we shall have an endlees advertisement on our footpaths all over the town. One tradesman has as much right to do it as another, and what is sauce for one is sauce for all. Let our tradesmen who can't bo beat advertise in the papers in a respectable way, and not show up their parsimony in this way. Mr Coombes and others have been stopped for advertising in a much less ob jectionable way than this, and let me ask, Where is the Inspector of Nuisances, that ho has not seen this before ? If he has been asleep, it is high timo he awoke from it.— lam, etc., Vebdas.

Qualification for City Collectorship.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—lt is frequently asserted that tee totalism has a tendency to make men narrow-minded and illiberal. We have a case in point in Mr Goldie's objection to Mr Eller on account of his association with members of the Noi them Club. Query Is Mr Goldie's objection founded on the belief of the general immoral tenden cies of that institution ; or from an innate antipathy to any one in the garb or with tho instincts of a gentleman ? In either case I havo no doubt his dictum will be duly appreciated both in and out of his own narrow circle. On a future occasion, perhaps he will be good enough to define what in his opinion is a proper qualification for collecting the money from yours, A Ratepayer.

Band Contest.

iTothe Editor.)

Sir, —Will you kindly give me space to make a few remarks upon the letter that appeared over the name of S. Philpott on the sth inst., and I hope I won't give offence when I cay that I am afraid your corret pondent in in a bad state of health, and that serious results will follow if he does not see the doctor. An attack of cacoellmscribendi, aggravated by bile, has been productive of terrible results in this case. Mr Pbilpott'a attack has been produced by listening to the heavenly strains that flow from the only band in Auckland ; and the first re sult is his letter. Mr P., in his general fling round, goes for a Mr Wilson, who has dared to question the supremacy of the Auckland Garrison Band, and very truth fully I think tells that gentleman that he placed thut band in an improper position. I may toll Mr P. that there are a number of people who assert that Mr Impey's City Band is better than the only band in Auck land, and as far as national music is con cerned, the Salvation Army Band would run them very closely, so that Mr Wilson, I hope, will see the error of his ways, and place the Garrison Band correctly in future, not second but fourth. Tho next assertion v that the Artillery Band have no right to challenge the Garrison because they have defeated the Artillery Band in a former contest; if that were true(which Ideny)con test rules demand that tho vanquished one shall challenge the victor ; but, taking into consideration this fact, that tho Garrison Band wore never thought of by the Artillery Band when their challenge was indited, I don't think this statement will apply. If the assertion were true, what doesit amount to ? Over three years ago the Hobson Band dofoated tho Artillery Band at a contest when ton .of its best members wore absent. I might inform Mr Philpott, and the public, who may have forgotten the facts and who would be led away by fnlse statements, that there were four competitors and two prizes were al lotted, and it I remember rightly I did not Bee the Hohsons carrying home any of the honours. Again, Mr Impey was bo dis satisfied, with the decision that he would

not accept the silver medalTl ~~" that the Hobsonefas cons?it,^PhilWt North Shore contest, were n'^r at «* compete.

Steps are about to be taken for the early establishment of a Highland Society in Auckland upon such liberal principles at will comport with those of similar organic tions in tho United Kingdom, the Dominion of Canada, and the Australasian colonies, The Grelio Society of Dunedin,with a branch at Invercargill, is in a flourishing slate, and as it is estimated from reliable data that there aro no less than four ai five hun dred Gajlic-speaking people in the province of Auckland, exclusive of the Highland settlement of Waipu, no misgivings need, it is asserted, be apprehended as to thestiqceM of the Society. It is not intended to confine tho membership to Scottish Celts and their immediate offspring, as is done in Victoria, New South Wales, nnd Queensland; but, on the contrary, to make it open to.persons of all nationalities willing to identify them selves with the movement, Irish and Welsh, belonging as they do to the great' Celtic families who originally emigrated from Asia, the cradle of the human raoe/vrill be heartily welcomed to join the projected Highland Society.

At the Ivybridge (England) v Petty Sessions recently, George • Lenn&rd,: 8 butcher, was committed for trial on the charge of sending a postcard to Mr Mallet, hotelkeeper, Ivybridge, in which be said he would kill him if he said anything re*, pecting Hugh Shortland and the lafe murder at Blackawton.
