In the House this afternoon, notices of motion werogiven as follows:—Fora return showing what number of days the Govern ment steamer Hinemoa has been employed during the year ending March 31st (Mr Guinness). For n return showing the amounts received during tho years 1882, ISSIf, and 1881 respectively, by various local bodies from Oonoral Government (Mr Holmes). Jfor return setUngforth the area and estimated value of the Education lie serves for primary and socondary education in each county and each district (Mr Sahjukls). Notices of Questions. Among tho notices of questions given wero tho following :—To ask the Govern ment what steps have beon taken to remedy the defects in tho building of the Seaclitle Asylum (Mr TllBNBULI,). If the Government will oxtond the White Cliffs branch railway in tho direction of Lake Coleridge co as to facilitate settlement in that district to onablo the anthracite and other coals that übound in that locality being got to market (Mr McMillan). If it is in the contemplation of the Government to instruct the Kegistrar-Ganeral to publish annual statistics of the colony about a date as to be of more practical use than they have been in the past. Also, if the Government would instruct tho Kegistrar-Generai to take the Victorian Year Book aa a model of convenient size and method, and endeavour, as far as possible, to supply a similar year I book for this colony (Mr Walker). ! 'Frisco Mail Service. The Colonial Treasurer moved that the House would on Tuesday next rosolvo into committee of tho whole to considor tho renewal of the 'Frisco mail contract. Mr Rollksto.v desired to know whether beforo going into committee tlio lion, mem ber would supply tho House with a return showing the monthly coat of tho direct steam sen ice on tho year ending May 31st lost, and also tho cost of tho 'Frisco mail service for the same period, thowing the contributions and postages received. If it was impossiblo, they Eiiould havo bofore them a statement showing tho result of the contract entered into for tho direct steam service last year. A!ao similar information concerning tho 'Frisco sorvico. Sir Julius VoilEL said a* tho time was bq short ho would alter his motion from Tues day till this day week, undertaking to supply the information in tho meantime. Tho motion was then agreed to. Land Bill.

Mr BAU.ANOE, in moving tho second read ing of tho Lind Bill, said it was n consoli dating niensuio. Tho Government had not gono in for a wholesale alteration of tiio law.. Ho folt confident if Uioy Imd done ho it would hnvo boon impossible to pass tho inoasuro tbia sowion. lie guyo a history of recent lund legislation and asserted that tho beat kind of Kettlemonf wr,a thftt whicli on,ab.M tho Htntp to hold control ovor land, and allowed settlors to retain it aa lout; as tlioy conformed with tlio conditions. He favoured both freehold and porpotual lousing, experiments of tho latter having been attended with a considoruble umount of success lie objected to binding our selves to duo s>atom, nml thought that both might Rourlfh Hido by aide if wo gave thorn v fair ohanco. Ho advocatod small holdings for labouring men adjacent to largo cities. If .suitable areas were purchased and leased in small areas at a rental, not oxcocding 5 per cent., it would do much to modify depression. Ho dofended tlie special sottlemont proposal, a3 tlieio wcro no middlomon in tho system,, and each sottlor wus thrown on Ilia own re spoi',;ibility. lie was in favour of the ballot being used instead of auctions whore pur chasers of land woro hodyod about with settlement conditions. Tho tondor system wasalso objectionable With regard to small runs, provision was made for their cutting up and leasing. Any attempt to alionato land for pastoral purpo-ej would be very unfortunate. There was a largo quantity of land in this island which must bo die posed of in Email pastoral run's." It\vould be a mistake t6 make a number of s.ma.}l runs in Otago and Cantoii)ury without fixity of tenure He thought tho time had come whon reserves should bo administered on a better principle, and quoted instances of maladministration of education rosorves. If any progress wa9 to bo mado in tlio future, the land should carry raoro people than at prenont, and those Boards should bo mado a respon sible body. Tho Commissioners woro irro-

sponcible, and did not givo satisfaction. Tlio potitiotiM that hail been received regard ing amendments of tho Land Act contained many valuablo Bu^ostions Mr Romjsston cavo Mr Ballance crodit

for an earnest dosiro to do tho boat ho coulv

for tho sottlemont of thp wasto lands of tho f'ro.wn. Adminictration of lands uuiat bo

regarded from throe points—(l) Settlement of tho people upon lands j (;]) with rogard to rovenuo ; and (3) with regard to means of communication and roadinfj, if ho might mako uso of a word recently coined in the country. Ho spoko in high praieo of tho small-run sy-ttem, and said they should place tenants' right on thorn, as towards the end of thoir term it wns customary on tho part of tonants to do as little as possible Ho spoke of middlemen boing tho bano of settlement. Rogrfrding agricultural settle ment, ho agreed largoly with Mr Balllance. The-effect of tho dot'orred payment system wns that tho capitalist came and aggro gated small lots. I[o bol^oyod \n the Bystojri of perpetual joatjng in vesppct to all on^ovvifionts ' \i wap grutifyjnjj to him to. find that the publics woro re oognlsing tho morits of the perpotual lousing system. If tho disposition of land in tho future was to bo as it was in the past, it would be detrimental at onco to the interests of men of proporty, mid ajso of the working clafa. Ho bolipved tho hometitoad system might be moro largely availed of in tho futuro than in the pa1-!, and ho was aware of parts in Auckland whoro it had worked well; but it had its diawbacks, and he thought that ovontually perpetual leasing would tnko it.1* place. Ho also sup ported thodirect cash system, on the ground that Crown lands should produco a ccitain amount of rovonuo from this source Refer ring to the Bpcpial sottlomont proposals, he ir.ohtioncd that in his (Mr Rolloston's) bill thero was a clause abolishing spocial settlements in conscqnonco of tho spocula tivo element it introduced, and |(O aid not think thai; Mr Ballancp'ii bill \yould do a.way with middlemen. Ho uvfi'cd that the ox perimont for special sottlemont should bo confined to 100,000 aorcs,

Mr MoNTCOMKrtv supported the bill, but thought something should bo done to cheapen land ; and ho ovoti wont so far as to say if pooplo woro plaood on land at the mere cost of survey it would be boat for tho colony. If tho colony was to bocome strong in numbers and resources they must have a groat many moro people in the colony to settle on tho lands. Ho thought that if hundrods of thousands moro wore induced to come hero, New Zealand would becomo one of tho greatest nations in the world.

Mr Beetham denied that the specia.l settlement sy&tpm was best for the colony. If tho House would only face the quostion and voto tho money nocessary to mako road lines and surveys to ex. tond through the whole of New Zealand, they would be able, through the Waste Lands Boards, to sottle the lands as entirely andexpeditjouely a.s under the special settle ment system. Ho waa prepared to give his unqualified support to the leasehold system as being tho best. Ho disapproved of the ballot system, but supported the Minister for Lands in saying that endow ments should bo dealt with subject '.to the waste lands laws of the Crown,

Mr Hurst said that Mr Montgomery had addressed himself to tho kernal of tho land question. Ho found faulb with the continual uncertainty of tho land laws,-which pre vented people from coiling. They wore getting 20 or 40 years ahead of the Public Works policy by_ stopping the system of immigration, which was calculated to do groat injury to tho colony. He objected to the porpetual leasing system, as it prcvpjted immigration. Peoplo with limited mea.ns would not com,e gut here if they wero imbued with tbo idea that the. best land could only bo obtained on lease. This was not tho time to work out theories. They should got the pooplo out and then through the Uußtomg and other rnpang make them pay the rent. Mr Hotsb.s followed in tho same strain, and thought tho homestead system should be encouraged*and spread ovor the whole colony.

Mr Kbbr advocated the survey and lay. ing-off of roads before attempting to Bett'o land.

Mr Moat echoed Mr Kerr's remarks, and said the want of surveys had driven many intending settlers out of Auckland. Be spoke in favour of the good work done by the homestead system. He agreed with the others speakers that ■ the great charm in inducing many immigrantj to come to

this colony was tho idea that they would obtain a freehold, and advocated the im mediate resumption of nominated immigra nt the evening sitting the debate was continued by Mr IVBSS, who said tho bill showed that the Government were sincere in their desire to place a satisfactory land law on the Statute Book of the country. Ine colony could never become great unless it had liberal land laws. ...... .. B Mr Bruce strongly objected to those clauses which led to the establishment of a State tenantry. This was a new de parture in the Land Bill. . Mr HuESTHOcsE advocated the system or perpetual leasehold, and said that in the Nelson administration of land laws, free selection before survey had not been al together satisfactory. He intended to sup- Scoßlis Mackenzie ndvooated the continuance 01 tho freehold tenure system as best calculated to stimulate industries and settle the people permanently on the land. Ho observed a tondenoy on the part ot the Government to foice the perpetual lease system on an unwilling people. ( IN o) Tho Premier hoped that the House would not negative tho provision for perpetual leases in this bill. He agreed with the member for Geraldino that in placo of the words "perpetual leasing," they sho.ild substitute "conditional freehold. 1W land question was a great aues^on for the future, and it could not be settled by the freehold system. Herald if the House was eoina to object to tho porpotual lease system, they should also object to the pastoral leaae system. As to the argu, men* of giving away land, he swd they must Took to tho future. He hoped some lands would continue to be held by the State for many years, and strongly urged that deferred payment land should only be. used for three yoars. He defended Mr MAOKenzio's clauso, saying it would not affect the production of wool one whit, me only result of it would be, instead of having the pastoral industry of Otago and Canter bury in the hands of a few people, they would have a great number of pastoral tenants. . The measure was supported by Meiara Joyck, Duncan, Fishkr (who, however, objected to the leasing system), and Smith. The latter intimated that in Committee ho would move that in place of a nommatjvo Waste Lands Committee the Committees should beoleoted. After supper Major Stewart spoke to a bare quorum. Ho said lands could now be acquired by the State at a very low price.and if tho colony wore in a position to take advan tage of such a circumstance and divide such purchased lands into small holdings, they would obtain in tho way of rental from persons who would thrive unon^ them more than tho interest'on tho money rsquired to acquiro these lands, Mr Pyxe said that in Committee he hoped to ameloriato the condition of the deferred paymont sottlorß, to improve the condition of tho porpetual-leaseholders, and also that condition of pastoral tenants would b ( e taken into consideration. AH claasoa were dissatisfied with tho prosentj land laws of Now Zealand. Mr BaixaSck, in reply, said it would cost half a million of monoy a your to mate tho necessary roads now required, a.nd asked what would it cost "them1 if tho number of settlors worp incyoaspcl, Tho oecond reading was then carried on tho voices,

Stamps Act,

The Pukmifh having moved tlio second reading of tho Stamps Act Amondment Bill, Mr Downik Strwakt said tho meaauro would add 50 percent, to tho alronily heavy stamped duty, making it a burdensome tax an tlmao who wore purchasers of land. Tho sooond reading wa.« carried, tho bill to bo committed on Tuesday noxt. Deceased Persons' Estates. Tho Prrmira next moved tho sooond reading of tho Deceased Persons E3tatos Duties Act Amondment Bill. Mr Stkwart thought Mint the prin ciple of retrospective legislation . should he vory oarefully guarded and diseounton aneed. , The second reading was carried, tho bill to bo committed on Tuoaday.

Whitmor) Enabling Bill,

Mr Ballance moved tho farther post ponement of tho Ayhitmoro'1 Enabling Bill till Tuesday. Counties Amondment Bill.

At midnight, tho resumedi dobate on the Countios Act1 Amendment BUI \v*s taken

up. 'Mr M(jAht«uh said ho failed to disoovor any principle in tho bill. Considerable want of knowledge had been shown in its preparation. It was said that to contest an election for county chairman would bo moro expensivo than to contest a seat for Parliament. Ho also thought the system of elocting auditors was vicious. Mr Guinness approved of tho olectlon of county chairmen, but thought tho auditors should bo nominated by tho Government. Colonel Trimbir thought tho olection of tho county chairmen by ratopayora ■was a mistake.

Mr Richardson (Matai\ra\ thought a bettor chairmqn woiild bo < lected lay the Cou,ncjl than by the ratepayers, and ob jocted to making auditors elective. Mr Rollkston hoped Mr Stout would make tho position of town districts in reference to counties clear.

Mr Walkkr thought thoro should bo only one rating body. Mr Lake was disappointed with tho bill, and disagreed with most of its provisions. Mr Moat objocted to some of the details, but would support tho eocond reading. Mr Stodt promised that when tho bill was in committoo ho would endeavour to have somo of tho suggestions carried out. The bill was then read a second time, and tho House roßo at 1.30 am.

THE REPORTED GOLD DIS COVERIES AT NEW GUINEA.

We have rocoivod ample corroboration oi tlio statemont made \n a. previous issue that Kerry exhibited tlueo rich specimens in Auckland in tho beginning of August last, which he declared ho had found in New Guinea. This was shortly after the return of tho " Ago " expedition. Besides examining tho specimens ourselves, they weresubmitted to Mr T. Morrin and others interested in mining. The statement cabled from Mel bourne that Kerry wfts suspoatod of pur -1 chasing speciroona in Launceston last February cannot cortainly refer to these specimens. Tho following telegram relat ing to the proposed expedition, which has no iv beon übuudonod, appears in the iiydnpy papers received psr To Ann.ii ; — "• The gold referred to yesterday us having boen. brought from Now Guinea was the propotty of Korry, ono of tho members of tho ' Age' party, and experts are unanimous in thoir opinion that it is not Australian gold, and that it had been broken from the cap of a roef. Kerry states that when the party wore returning demoralised to the ooast, ho sat down on tho edge of a oroek to" wash his feet while the others went on, and he then saw a pink-and-white quartz outcrop, from which, with a tomahawk, he knocked off pieces of tho stono containing large masses of gold. The statement was believed horo, and tho requisite capital to send an exploring and prospocting expedi tion to Now Guinea wa§ subscribed within two hours. i\fajor-Gen"oral Soratohley has given tht) company tho requisite permission to prospect undor certain conditions re garding tho carriage of arms and good con duct."

The "Sydney Morning IJsiaU*' says the specimens were eoataunioated to it on tho return of the " Ago " expedition, but the whole Btory was discredited. However Kerry's Btatemonta met with a different reception in Melbourne, and a syndicate to carry out another expedition wns formed "On the 2nd inst. (says the " Herald ") a telegram from G. Moulder, Collina-gtroet, Melbourne, was received by Captain Strachan (who oomraanded tho "Age" expedition) asking him on what ternw he would join tae expedition ; and in reply to an inquiry on his part as to tho naluro of tho expedi tion ho was informed that the object waa gold, and that he was required to lead in conjunction with other?. Captain Strachan then wired th.at a yrofesaioaal engagement in Sydney prevented him from giving a definite answer, but on the fallow" wg day he i n(ima t e d that h o would nqt tooent, flnd further ata tod that he had ~o faith in tho story told in i el n% nl' ? mld, PVOVB itto be untrue 0« Saturday last ho received another telt graphic message, to the following effect-- Promoters confidents not imperative for you to believe, required nautioally,and if passable go over same ground; ealary or leSe volf'fl lfn anl W, er *»voirable Vu naming & te ™~ d stipulating that his advice was to be taken as to equipment and arms; and so the matter rests at present.

NEW PROVINCIAL MOVEMENT.

(BY TFXEfIR'-VH. — PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER ) Wellington, this day.

Mr Moss is endeavouring to bring to gethor tho leading men of different parties to devise a common ground on which they can urge tho Government to take action in tho present critical state of affairs. The ground on which it is sought to unite them is retrenchment of the ex penditure, which is bearing so heavily on the psoplo of the country—to ;begin .by re ducing the number of members of the Assembly proportionately, the number of members, and proportionately the staff and expenditure of thej general Government ; also to devise some system of local government, simple and economical, wh'ch will relieve the General As sembly of local works, and enable a re duction in its number and expenditure to, be effected. This, your readers \y\\\ see, is some of the modifications cif the Provincial system, and the o\d provincial sentiment is stronger this session than it has been before, I nave se? n Mr Moss' about thia matter, and he informs me that for some days past he has been endeavouring to bring together tho loaders of opinion, and SirGQO GroyiMrMftcandrew.andMrOrmond are quite willing to 00-operate in any mov3 mont that will extricate the country from its difficulties. Mr Moss has not much hope of euccoedingin tho present Parliamgnti hut believes that if the public see leading men who have been Qpp.ftsed to each other cooperate in a movement of this kind, it would e^cito attention. He believes that M,r l{otlo;iton and others, whose sympathies have ajwa.y« been In this direction, would ho glad to lend their aid,

CORRESPONDENCE
