OPINIONS ON THE BUDGET.

[by telegraph, parliamentary reporter.)

Wellington, this day. Reoahwno the Financial Statement there appears to be great difference of opinion, but in consequence of the vast range of abstract matter touched upon, especially the cautious reference to Free Trade and Protection, it ia impossible to in duce members to diagnose tho State ment and mention wkat they ad mire and what they disapprove of. The majority merely confine themselves to such general opinions as " partly satisfac tory, "clever and bold and I think it will do," "decidedly protectionist," " proposes some of the worst features of protection," " doctrines promul gated utterly disrogard the science of political economy," and so on ad iiifinilnm. Until they have further time to consider it more fully they decline to identify them selves pro or con. Some members seem to think that had tho Government faced the falling revenue and increasing burdens by a wise system of eimplicification and retrenchment in the public expenditure, instead of further increasing the but den upon the people by taxation as they propose to do, they would have added to their strength instead of increasing their woakneHH. Sir Julius Yogel's statoment that the Go vernment are neither Free Trade nor Pro tectionist is borne out in a peculiar way. He evidently thinks that if he gives Free Traders a little free trade and Protectionists some protection in hie proposals, he effects a compromise that ought to challenge admiration. It is pointed out that the Govern ment, like thtir predecessors, shirk tho duty of curtailing an admittedly over-grown Civil Service, far in ex cess of the simple requirements of half a million of people, mid that the experience of tho last session affecting district railways and the proposal to acquire them for the colony is ignored in tho scheme for railway classification. Moderate pup porters say tho Government are tolerated, but not supported. Immediately after the reading of tho ? tuto ment, 1 eont a circular to about twenty of the members, who are credited with having special knowledge of matters financial, but did noi receive more than half-a dozen replies. Sir George Groy, who, by tho way, was not present during the delivery of the Statement, has since read it, and takes a pessimiet view. Ho asks what ia the use of proposing to give free house) to working men when all the good land is in the hands of big land-owners. To be successful in this direction, iho Treasurer should have gone back to first principles. He is playing the part of a political Cagliostro, and promising things that cannot bo. A wealthy Southern squatter writes to me : — "The Statement requires closer examina tion before a reliable opinion can be pro nounced. It is a remarkably clever thing, in the sense in which the word would be applied to a man who had performed a (Jitlicult and dangerous feat. Sir Julius Vogel is clearly entitled to tho praise he takes for the success of his financial opera tions last year. The Statement is clearly Protectionist in its tendency. Sir Julius Vogel would havo been in much safer hands If he bad merely given bis aims and inten tions and left oat all bis economical reason ing, which exposes a surface frightfully open to attack. Th» local government proposals will not. I think, bo found satisfactory. There will be a tremendous fight, and pro bably a close shave, while dissolution U quite on tho cards. Tbo very boldness of the Government in bringing down all tbeir policy measures at once exposes them to greater danger." An Auckland member writer : " The Statement discloses a highly satisfactory condition of the colony's finances and of the public credit. It is also an able production, and its proposals present no salient features for attack by the Opposition if wo except the 21 per lb additional duty o«s tea. The Treasurer, however, is certain to be supported by the Houso on that com paratively small impost, although I think it a Btop in the wrong direction. As matters now stand Ministers will have a successful session, unless Mr Ballance's proposals upset their coach." The member for Dunedin South thinks " the Statement will givo pretty general satisfaction. It is mild in character. The tariff i-. Piotecdonist, and will stop the import of many articles." Tho Freo Trade members tind fault principally with the duty on foreign coal, and the knowing ones, as an evidence of Sir Julius Vogel's predominat ing influence In the Cabinet, point to the restoration of the tea duties, which Messrs* Stout and -Ballance formerly considered it necessary to reduce. Mr Moss says the increased duties are the natural outcome of a policy of Inflation. He will strongly oppose tho increased duty on tea. Another Auckland member suspends judgment on the Statement generally, but does not consider the local government proposals sufficiently comprehensive. Another Auckland member thinks the financial proposals are unsatisfactory, and ■ajg it means a return to the policy already condemned by the country. He belleres it will giro lukewarm supporters of the Government an opportunity they desire of leaving them, and will result in their de feat. An Auckland country member says his principal objection is to the proposal re district railways. Another is dissatisfied with it generally.

Tho " Press " on the Statement.

Both evening papers adversely criticise the Financial Statement. The " Press " says that last sossionSir J.Vogel, with unmea sured arrogance, censured other public men who saw fit to change their views on pub lic questions in accordance with changing circumstances, but what a change 1 The Finapcial Statement is distinguished by nothing so much as Its politic tone. It consists almost entirely of retracings and acknowledgments of error. No Financial Statement of Major Atkinson ever delivered was half such a triumph for him as this one, delivered by his humblod «»d penitent rival. The finaucial policy of 1885 is, in fact, a complete reversal of the financial policy of 1884, and a conspicuous admission of the fallacy of the Colonial Treasurer's flashy nostrums for financing the country out of its difficulties. Never was imposture so completely exposed. WJwt tho "Post" Thinks. The"Post,"whileadmittingtheStatement to be marvellously , clever, criticises the proposals adversely. Most of the alterations in tho tariff it says are altogether opposed to the principles of free trade. General principles of local' government are good enough in their way, but it doubts if the present scheme will last for any considerable portion even of the quarter of a, century over which it will ex tend. It doubts whether the loan pro posed will be sufficient, The cottage settlement seems, ib adds, to be a good one, and the proposed alterations in stamp duties judicious. Supposed Free Trade Majority.

I hear that the Free Traders, having counted noees in the House, claim a major ity, but prefer awaiting the result of Mon day's meeting before committing themselves to any definite statement in respect of this matter.

J DuNEDitf, this day. The Protectionists appear greatly pleased with tho Budget. They hold a meeting on Friday to tonsider the proposals It has been decided among the Free Trado members of the Houso to hold a meeting at noon to day (Monday), to oon eidw the Treasurer's proposals re taxation. In view of the presumed changes in tho tariff, there were large clearances of tea, sugar, and under-proof spirits in bond hero yeeterday. " There is now scarcely a box of tea in bond.

Our London correspondent writes:—" In the Houee of Commons the other evening, Mr Brand explained that preference hud been hitherto given to American rather than to Australian and New Zealand tinned meats, owing, to the former being packed in specially convenient canisters. The Mew Zealand tins were cylindrical, and occupied too much bulk, so they were unfitted for field service. Yesterday I saw Mr Paul of thu New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company. He tolls me this difficulty has already been removed ; in fact, that the tins now ueed by leading New Zealand firms are on tho American pattern, and inado by American machinery. Mr Paul looks forward very hopefully to the future « j tl)e _, New Zealand tinned meat trade. There is, he thinks, no reason why it should not be extended indefinitely Two Government contracts have already been fulfilled, and in one a better price was Jfitt meat t°an the Americans obtained. The Government are most favour ably disposed towards N.Z. firms, «nd will readily W all the colonial tinnedlmert landed m London. An endeavour has been made to persuade tho Government to make forward contracts for delivery at, gay Suakim or Aden, so a. to .aye freight charges, but without success.

BILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT.

(by telegraph —pabliamentaby rk- PORTER )

Criminal Code Bill

The Criminal Code Bill introduced in the Legislative Council is designed to effect a complete revolution in the course of proee; dure in criminal cases in the Supreme Court. The distinction between felony and misdemeanour will be done away with, and all the legal jargon which now leads to so much confusion is entirely abolished, and indictments will be drawn and offences described in plain terms. The adoption of the code should tend to facilitate the administration of justice. Land Bill. When Mr Ballaxoe introduced his Land Bill on Friday, Mr Mackbkzik (Mt. Ida) eaid last session the new members had learnt a painful lesson by allowing bills to pass the second readings without becoming fully acquainted with their provisions. He suggested that the second reading of the bill be postponed for a reasonable time till the Houso had an opportunity of making itself acquainted with the contents. This led to a discussion, in which several members advocated the postponement of the second reading for a week at least. Messrs Montgomery and Atkinson urged that the bill was of great importance, and the reading should not be hurried. Major Atkinson said it was rumoured that the bill before the House was not the bill Government intended to carry, but that they intended presently introducing a very important measure amending the existing law. Before discussing the Land Bill they should have a full exposition of the views of the Government respecting native lands. Sir George Grey said he had beard that the Government hai determined to abandon the land policy. It was well-known that many native lands would soon have to pass into the hands of the Crown, and perhaps it would be as well to deal with tbe bille affecting all lands at this one time. Ho ogam objected to land legislation going to the Waßte Lands Committee, which was a secret committee.

Mr Ballance said he had no objection to a postponement of the second reading till this dsy week. The statement of Major Atkinson was without foundation, and he denied the WdsteXands Committee was a secret committoo, as any member of the Huute could attend its sittings. He asked the House to support him to refuse, or in refusing to introduce a Native Lands Dis position and Land Bill together as aeked for. Sir Georce Grey made a personal ex planation. Heßaidtho Waste Lands Com mittee was a secret committee, because members were not allowed to divulge what passed there, and voting was private. The second reading was adjourned till Friday. legalising £2 Sweepstakes. The Gaming and Lotteries Bill of Mr Fitzherbert provides that any sweepstake drawn on any racecourse on the occasion of any race meeting or within view of any racing, shooting, coursing, or othor match, athletic or aquatic contest, or game of skill ie which tho sweepstakes, share or stake of each individual participating therein, shall not exceed the sum of £2, shall be exempt, New Bills. Leave to introduce the following bills will be atked for on Tuesday:—Seamen's Re protentation (Mr Bruce), to Amend the Counties Act (Mr Cadman), Stamp Duties Act Amendment Bill and Deceased Persons Estates Duties Bill (Mr Stout), P<operty A6se.B:oont Bill (Mr Stout), to Amend the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1881 (Mr Fitz herbert), to Amend the Gaming and Lot toricß Act 18sl (Mr Hobbh).

Tho Disqualification Bill.

In the Legislative Council on Friday the Colonial (secretary moved the second reading of the Disqualification Amendment Bill, to relieve Colonel Whitmor* from losing his seat by the acceptance of the ap pointment of military commandant. The Hon. Mr Scotland thought the Bill was to important that its further coneidera tion ought to be postponed. Tho resolu tion for adjournment was carried. Ayes, 31; noes, 21. .

VOLUNTEER VOTES.

A GARHIS3N drum and fife band is to be funned for the benefit of the Natal com panies, aid the old Naval Brigade Band Will furninh the nucleus of it. The Auck land Navals had a muster of 62 at their parade o:i Friday night. Capt. Leßoy took occasion to refer to the new arrangement of brigading the Naral Artillery Corps. lie hoped trmttbe companies would have oppor tunitios to drill together, and that the One hungaCorpswouUlbe with them occasionally. Colonel Lyon inspected the Onehungn Rifles and Navals on Thursday erenuig Steps are being taken to obtain a drill-shed The Deronport Natals hare deoided to erect a drill-hall, 100 feet by 150 f«et, the Government promising to pay half of the outlay. Subscriptions will be invited, and •tho Koad Board ached to grant a bite. A concert and ball is to be held on the 30th inst. Church Parade. The church parade of the Auckland and Ponsonbjr Navals took place yesterday morning, and was well attended. The Auckland Natals had a muster of 56 mon under Captain Leßoy and Lieutenants Parker and Smith, while the Ponsonby Navals numbered 45, under Captain Mor peth and Lieutenant Miller. The Corps, beaded by the Naral Band, marched to All Saints', where Rev, A. Hitchcock preached from Joshua, Ist chapter, sth and 6th verses. He said by moans of these church parades he hoped to prove his ufefulnets as chaplain to the Ponsonby Navals by making them good servants of the Master, as well as bravo and loyal soldiers of Her Majesty. Their motto should be " Defence, not Defiance." : Veteran Rifles. About 30 members of this company, headed, by the Garrison Band, marched to the wharf on Saturday afternoon, and proceeded by the 2.15 boat to Noirthcote, vhere they were entertained at & champagne dinner by their captain (MrT. T. Anderson). The weather was Very unfavourable, ond prevented the out door drill which had been contemplated. Amongst the guests present were the Right Rev. Dr. Cowie, Bishop of Auckland, and Captain Hume (late of the 79th Highland ers), Mr Superintendent Thomson,. Dr. Ten nent, Captain Daveney, and Captain Slat tery. Dinner having been disposed of, the usual loyal toasts were drunk, and that of " His Lordship the Bishop of Auckland ' followed. In responding, Bishop Cowie said Lord Clyde calculated the strength of his army by the number of voteranpjn it, and he hoped this Veteran Company would act as such to the other Volunteer companies. The toasts of ■♦' Captain and Mrs Anderson," "Army and Navy," "Armed Constabulary," &c._, were proposed and honoured, after which tho gathering terminated.
