Tho Chamber did< Dot desire to causo alarm, nnd it reenpsized what had already t>eon done, but it wished '. to impress upon tho Government that peifect cafety could only be secured by a thoroughly effective system of defence.] After 3ame discussion tho resolution was , tmonded by tho insertion of tho following preamble which was moved by Mr Shera, "That while tho Chambor aro nwaro that the Governmont havo called for tenders for one gun." {Then followed tho resolution with tho word "further" excised from it.] The resolution, as amended, -was adopted,. and the meeting dissolved.

STRANGE DISCOVERY

Human Remains Found in a Cesspool.

A mji4rkable discovery was made late this"afternoon by Mr Charles Kay, contrac tor; and his workmen.

Tho stood over tho hole in which the remains were found until a few daysago, and was in uso until thon. It was removed in tho course of the works wlidare now proceeding.
