Wellington, this day,

The Charges of Drunkenness. It was lately rumoured that a fuss was to bo made this session regarding the scandalous stories of drunkenness amongst members that were circulated last session. Tho

1 (Jovoiiiineut do not iiileiiii to lake the initiative in the matter, and do not think it likely that any private members will have the courage to do so. Mr Geo. McLean's Threatened "Call" of tho Council. Strango to say, all local papers havo made no reference to Mr George McLean's "call "of the Legislative Council to con sider the leccnt appointments to the Council. Ho publicly announced his intention of doiii^' this at tho Friday's meeting of the Council, but stated that ho intended con ferring with several of tho members boforc giving the formal notice. Political pooplo with whom I havo conversed on tho matter .scorn to think Mr McLean's action ill advised. The now Lords nro now installed, and cannot be removed, whilo much per sonal feeling will arise if the matter is pressed. It is further urged thai, thero was nothing unprecedented in tho Ministerial action, as even now tho Council is not so large as it has been in times past; but through resig nations, death, and nunatteiidaiico of Councillors, it is now much below the normal strength. The Opposition members of tho Council arc largely to blame, as last session it was freely stated that tlioy openly boasted if the Government measures passed tho House of Representatives thoy would not pass tho Council. Municipal Corporations Bill. The Municipal Corporations Bill, an amended reprint of the bill prepared by tho Statutes Revision Commission, has been introduced by the lion. Ml Buckley in tho Upper House. 1 note the following altera tions :—The Public Health Act, 1870, is incorporated with tho bill for the suke of bringing it into prominence, many powers being given under that Act to the thorough Council which might bo exercised more often There is a provision for tho distri bution of one part of the not revenue of the borough amongst wards in proportion to tho ratoa received from tliom, and to be ox pended on works therein; this is taken from tho Victorian Act. An alteration is suggested as to tho majority of votes required for sanctioning. Tho original enactment in 187G required a majority of one-fifth of the votes polled ; and, this r.ot being considered sufl.ciciit, v new enact ment was passod in ISSO wherein an ovident error exists. In this bill tho majority re quired for sanctioning a proposal ia mado larger. The raising ol special loans for works within any particular portion of a borough ou tho" assont of ratepayers is authorised, and provision made for obtaining as«ent. One of tho now clauses seems sjieciully worthy of acceptance ; it provides for tho enrolment of Volunteers us fire police, and swearing them in as con stables. It was the law in Canter bury, and proved very useful in stopping pilfering at fires. There is also a new clause authorising tho expenditure of borough funds for the orcction of public school buildings. In by-laws ull'ecting streets, two now subsections havo been added—tho lirst is to prevent back sections of land being crowded with ill-ventilated shanties and cabins ; the second is to pre vont overcrowding of people in houses without proper spaco being allotted to each resident therein, to tho danger of fever or othor infectious disenso.

THE "POST" ON THE LATE MR SHEEMAN.

(HY TKLKURArI!.—OWN COHRKKI'ONUENT.)

Wki-USuton, this day,

" Tiik Post," in a momoriain article ou Mr Shcehan, says :—" To-day it is our sad duty to record the fact that in the prime of man hood ho has been callod upon to join tho great majority ; his earthly record is closed. Tho brilliant prospects which it was hopod lay beforo him, have boon closed by the hand of death, and New Zealand has lost one of tho most intellectually gifted and iuige-heaitcd of her sons. Our great national poet hay said 'Men's evil maimers livo in brass, their virtues wo write in water.' Tho rovorso will, wo think, bo tho easo ill rcgnid to John Shcehan. Long after his few faults and foibles have passed into n kind ob'ivion, his innumerable good qualities will live in tho affectionate remembrance of thousands of both races in thoso islands. In every ie lation of life he exercised n marvellous (•harm over all who wero brought into con tact with him. It was often and truly paid tl at h j was a man without enemies. Even those who differed most from his opiniors, and most strongly condemned many of his notions, still entertained a great personal regard for tho man himself Honest, straightforward, and imsr_lli_.li in nil his doaliugs— whether in public or private life ; a staunch friend, but incapable of entertain ing enmity, holding strong convictions upon all public questions, ami ever ready to give forcible expression to them ; generous to a digreo, full of largo sympathiis, always ready to help fiionds, even to his own dotrimont or loss -, well informed upon nil imaginable subjects, thoroughly ac quainted with nutivo character and laagi a^o, and a charming conversa tionalist —Mr Shcehan might have been anything ho likod; but his admirable social qualities, whilo scouring him fiionds on all sides, to a considerable degree prevented his taking up tho position in pubHc life bo could have Idled so well. In many ways his nature was moulded on lines which rendered Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brinsloy Sheridan so celebrated and to loved, but kept them poor and in difficul ties all their lives. Many of the stories told of thoso two men w uld, if names were but changed, bo accepted as bearing tho impress of truth if told of Mr Shcehan."

NEW ZEALAND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

Til f. adjoin nod general mooting of the Auck land branch of this Institute took place on Friday in tho Wollesloy-strcet School, Mr J3. Bailey (President) being in tho chair. In addition to a fair attendance ot teacher,., Messrs Goirio, Upton, Crowther, Jcuno, and Hooker were present. Messrs Gurr, Davis, W. Robinson, and Jas. Ghristie were then elected members, and power given to all prosoi t to vote upon resolutions allocl ing tho rulos and regulations of the Board of Education, which the meeting then proceeded to considor. After an ani mated di.-cussion, clauses 7 to 13 under the heading 'As to Teachers" were declared to be unnecessary. Clauses 14, 15, IG, and 17 passed, and clauses 18 and If) were pronounced unnecessary, as was also Clauso lof page 5. Upon clause 2 considerable discussion took plato, and a general feeling was expressed that teachers ought not to bo deprived of their rights of citizenship. It was resolved, on the motion of tho Rev, Mr Coatcs, seconded by Mr Scott, that clause 2 read thus: "That teachers cannot be allowed to tako any office which may interfere with the dis charge of their school duties " Clause 3 was retained, and for clauses i to 15 it was agreed, on the motion of Mr Worthingtor, seconded by Mr McArthur, that it weie better to substitute the following :-" The discipline enforcod in schools mu.-t be mild yet firm, and toaehors should endeavour to control their pupils by their personal in llucnce. Corporal punishment should be inflicted sparingly, and as a rule only by the head teacher. Proper provision should be made for the supervision of tho pupils 'at play.". Clause 10 passed, and in clauses 17 and IS it was recommended that the word " Board "should bo substituted for "Inspec tor " and the clauses amended accordingly, It was further recommended that clauso 19 would begin to road at "All lottors." Clauses 20, 21, and 22 passed. With respect to the scale of stall' and saluiies it was re solved, on tho motion oE Mr McArthur, seconded by Mr Scott, "1 hat in the opinion of this Institute, teachers who are qualified according to the Act should bo (mill such salaries as arc allowed by the regulations " Mr McArthur spoke on the miserable salaries paid to male assistants, and tho necessity of offering greater inducements to them to enter the servico of tho Board, Mr Bailey, whileagreeing with the resolution generally, hoped it did not imply a reduction in the salaries of female teachers, as ho did not consider they were at all too well paid. It was then rosolved, on Mr Mc _rthur's pro position, " That it is the opinion of this In stitute that a revision of the scale of male teachers' salariaß is necessary in order to secure a dosiruble class of male assistants " Tho meeting then adjourned till Friday next.

FAITH AND FREETHOUGHT.

Kkv. C. Wokii v.s preached the second of the series of discourses on "Faith and Free thought " in I'itt and Vincent-street Church last evening. Tho subject was "Christian Froethought"; text, 'Trovo all things hold fast that which is good," Ist Thoss. 5-21. lie stated that in the previous discourse ho had shown that Christianity is hotter for tills life than so-called Secularism; he in tended to show that the thought of Chris tians is as free as that of any so called Free thinkers, and much nioro philosophical. There is no absolute freedom; the exigencies of society restrict every man's liberty. It is tho duty of tho Stato to secure for every person tho largest amount of freedom that is compatible with tho good of the whole Thought is opinion about facts, and is limited in its freedom by the facts. A man may believe what he pleases about tho inhabitants of the planet Jupiter, but not about tho inha bitants of London. There facts comes in and limit the freedom of las thought, One fact demonstrated by ethnology is that man has religious instincts which are intended to be mot as certainly as the faculty of sight is provided for in nature. The anti- Christians ignore that fact, and seek to extirpate the faculty by disease. Then there ii the fact of human consciousness. I know 1 am, that 1 urn v person, Jiave a mind, and a moi al nature. What I am my Father, (iod, must bo ; but in a higher tense, and free from evil. Then thero is the fact of Christianity itself. Despite tho opposition of those in the past— who certainly have been quite equal to their representatives of today—it is the mightiest force of this time. Its truth should be distinguished, from adventitious circumstances that are connected with it. It profes.es to bo tho "power of God unto salvation." Is it so '! Mot all the so-called Froethought people in tho world can prove it is not, and there are thousands who say it is, and their lives prove it. Six facts in nature prove a law, but here are innumer able facts, all bearing on this one truth, lie went on to say that creeds, though they may have rendered good service in the past, are only human opinions on the moaning of the Scriptures, ami wore naturally coloured by the times in which they were formed ; and it is difficult to sco how other views of God and man could have been held in these times. Tho Bible is a progressive book, and may bo said to generate tho light in which it is studied. Christ advanced as much as the world could receive then about the rights of man, and as the sentiment has grown under his principles fuller light has been brought forth horn the old Book. In relation to sin, the atonement, and rotribu tion tho thought of Christendom has pro gressed, whilo the truths aro essentially the same ; much of tho human has dropped away, and tho laws which obtain in the physical world aro seen to prevail in the spiritual world also. With tho honest doubter he expressed tho warmest sym pathy, and urged his hearers to think, but to think fairly, freo from prejudice and the hostility that springs from moral antagonism to Christianity, to give Christ a chance. Tho church was tilled.

FOOTBALL MATCHES

Ponsonby v. Grafton. — What was un doubtedly the best match of the season, so far, was played between Ponsonby and Grafton on Saturday, aud resulted in a victory for Ponsonby by C points (a goal from tho held and a try) to 5 points (a goal). Poneonby had tho beet of the game in the oarlier part of the match, and kopt tho ball constantly in their op ponei.ts' " twenty live." In the first five minutes' play, Wbi'csido potted a goal from the livid, and thero was no further scoro until those Oad term, when White side, after a sinuri pass from R. Bruce, got over tho lino and secured a try, .Arneil had strained ono of the sinews ol his leg very badly, and being unable to take the place kick himself, gave it to Daniels. Tho attempt was, however, a wretched one, iho ball rolling towards tlio ground. The play, which had at times been very slow, now became decidedly fast, X Whiteside, Davy, T. Whiteside, and Macky showing iqi well for Ponsonby ; while Ryun, Chap man, Mountfoit, Spencer, and ono or two others wore working hard for their oppou etits.- At ono moment the bail was in lVusonby's 20, and in the next Grafton wore trying to work it out of their own territory. At last Arneil was called on to clear his goal, but in proceeding to kick with his good leg, the injured one gave way under him, and ho was helpless. Tho ball only reached tho Grafton forwards, and Mount fort seizing it, had a clear run in, and touched down. The crowd cheered vocifer ously, and their excitement redoubled when Ryan converted the try into v splendid goal. Grafton now played more to their backs, and tho conscqueneo was that Ponsonby, weakened by Arneil's hurt, were hard pressed. Indeed, when time was called there appeared to be every probability that Grafton would ecorc again. During the progress of tho match, Kyan and Arneil both kicked from marks, but their at tempts, although straight enough, fell short. Looking at the play, there cannot bo any doubt that Ponsonby had the best of thegamo. Thiswassliowninthoplay until the last half hour, when their three quarter back was disabled, and tho team disorgan ised in consequence There was little or no passing amongst the Grafton team, and they depended too much upon their forward game. The Grafton men were, how ever, very good in following up, charging, and col aring. Tho passing of Ponsonby was at times very pretty, but even they did not play to their forwards as they should have done. Braund and Medigan, to re spective backs, both played n good game. Auckland v. Gordon.—Gordon won by four points to nil. J. Clayton kicked a goal from tho field, The decision of the Gordon umpire found no favour with their op ponents.

Nobth Shore v. Albert.—Albert won tas match by a try to nil. Hidings soeurtd tho try, but the shot at goal was a failure. North Shore claimed a disputed try, which wi s iecided against them.

Junior Matches. - Surrey v. Union match resulted in a tie, each side gi tting a goal. Bay Boys defeated Albion by a goal to a try. Ponsonby Second defeated Vic toria by 5 poiuts to 4. For Ponsonby, Braund secured a try, and Foster converted it into a goal, while Wynyard kicked a goal from the field for Victoria Auckland 2nd defeated Grafton 2nd by 3 tries to nil. Church of England Grammar School v. Clifton resulted in a draw.—Tho Albert v. VVaitemata match resulted in a win for the Waitemata by 9 points to nil. For the victors, Mackie eocured two tries, and Stephens one. Gillespie kicked a goal from a try obtained by Mackie. The other kicks at goals were failures. Mackie and Stephen son also secured a disputed try oach.
