WjUXIKrtTON, Thursday Govornment Insurnnec Act.

Mit Macandkkw jjavij notice to move, on going into Committee of Supply, "That in tho opinion of this ilouso, it is expedient that the Government Insurnnco Act, ISSI, ho repealed, inasmuch as ono of tho chief objects of tho Legislature in passing tho said Act, viz., tho popularising and exten sion of tho bonelits thoroof throughout tho colony by means of influential local boards at tho chief control of population, has not been realised, and inasmuch as the intorcsta of policy-holders aro bein^ and aro likely to1 bo *till further seriously prejudiced by ox travagancs and unnecessary expenditure on the part of the Board at Wellington, which i-j practically irresponsible, and over which the policy-holdero ad a whole havo little or no control." Separation Resolutions. Mr Macanduew also gave notice to movo on k°'»k into Committee of Supply, "That a Koyal Commission bo appointed during the recess to consider and report as tv how far it may bo practicable to place the affairs ot tho JMorth and Middlo Islands rospoc lively under two or inoro distinct Provin cial Legislatures without injuring tho unity of the colony, and that it be an instruction to tho said Committeo, in tho evont of its recommending any change of tlio existing system, to embody such recommendation in a bill to bo submitted to Parliament at its next annual session, or at a special session to bo convened at an earlier date for th* consideration of such report exclusively should His Excelloncy tho Governor see lit." Monday Sittings. The Government propose asking tho Houso to sit at noon on Monday for private mombers1 business. Mates' Certificates. . In replying to Mr Macandrow's quostion if tho Minister of Marino will consider tho expediency of modifying tho regulations for tho examination of officers in tho mer cantile marine, so that candidates who are ut present dobarrod from passing their examination as second mates unless they have served for a given timo in foreign ships may bo allowed to pats, providoil they havo served tho requisite timo in inter colonial or coasting vessolls, Mr Launacu suid tho Government do not boo their way to relax the regulations at present as to second mutes. Light Duos. Replying to Mr gutter, Mr Laun'acii said the question of lijjht dues was lirst considered iv ISTs by a former Government. Ho could not say at prosent whether tho duos would bo ro-im posed. Tho amount which would bo re ceived if rates woro ro-itnposed would bo about £ 10,000. Wellington Hospital Scandal.

Tiio matter of tho Wellington Hospital Eoandul eamo before tlio House this after noon in tho form of a question by Mi' ti. L'\ Ku'Uaulpson, wlio wishod to know if tho Govornmont iutendod ranking inquiry into tho matter. Ho menliouoi that lie hail inudo inquiries, und bad ascertained tli;xt one nursu hud refused to leave becuuso she was attending on a dying man, and beforo she loft tlio police were called in to force lior removal. The I'uumieu made v fctatement in tho effect Unit tho nurses luul been dUmisaud in consequence of their Bunding in a round robin against tho conduct of tho Hojpitil CouiiniUeo, Two of tlio nurses hud imico asked to bo reinstated, saying their signa lures Ikhl been obtained under prtfMiro. One of tho lattor.* contained iiiU.lions mi tho action taken with respect to Dr. l.'hillon (Kc.-ident Surgeon), nayint; ho had Ihci. tin jUMtly dealt with. Mr ijAMriii. referred to tlio cruel condunl of tho.-o in charge of the Ho.-pital in turning out, these woiUdi) nt night in a town in which they hud no fiieiuls. Il'mcli a thing hud bron done in a private institution there would bo nuch a cry of itidigiiation that the por.-ons in charge of tho pl;ieo would have been burnt in tlligy. lie moved the ad journment of the House. Mr Misi.ur said that in expressing tiio foelingrf of indignation on tho part of the member" of tho House nt tho reoont occur ronco in tho Hospital, tlio lion, member lor New Plymouth had uried on tho hide of leniency. Tho Premier's an-wor to the question put him was certainly unsatisfactory, und, if necessary, In (the Hpeaker) would move the • i tho Standing Orders to enable the I.lst i-. alar to appoint » committee from the ll* isc to it>quiro into the matter. Tho I'liKUiKliwiid that thoquestio.i under discussion wan a very delicate matter. Ho deprecated tho House discussing it, and said if tho management of tho Hospital wero takon out of the hands of tho Hospital Com mittee thero would be no discipline in tho place. Major Atkinson admitted that tlio quee tion was n delicato and difficult ono, but it was caused by tho want of proper action on tho part of the Government. It was quite evident tho Premier misunderstood what

discipline meant. Granted that tho inirfes woro dieeatietiod with the Lady .Superinten dent, und had signed a round-robin, it was preposterous to oay that for this they wero to ba summarily discharged without inquiry on tho ground of insubordination. Ho re commended that no further proceedings l>o takon till to-morrow, when papers could bo laid on tho tablo.

Mr Gaurick doprocated tho Premier treating tho matter as a question of disci pline, and objecting to tho House consider ing what ho ventured to call a public scandal. The Committeo of tlio House was the proper tribunal to look into tho matter. Tho Premier had said that the Hospital Committeo was tho propor tribunal, but it was not altogether 'clear that the Commit teo was entirely freo from blamo and should not bo judged by ths actions of its momboru. The fullest inquiry was demanded by public opinion. Ho had boon informed that tho women had beon tamed out in a peremptory and brutal manner.

Tho Colonial Treasurer stated that tho nurses had addressed a protest against tho dismissal of tho surgeon. This was n wholly gratuitous expression of opinion, and acting upon tho advice of the Hospital Committee, the nursrs had beon dismissed. He charged Major Atkinson with saying that no breach of discipline had boon com mitted by tho nurses.

Major Atiun.«ox explained that ho had. said nothing of the sort. What ho did Hay was, that it was no broach of discipline for inferior servants to addross a complaint on thoir position, but if thoy could not, after inquiry, substantiate tho position thoy had taken up against tho matron,then thore was nothing for it but to dismiss thoso ser vants. .Sir JoLins Vookl said that two of tho discharged women had requoetod to bo taken back again, and hnd stated that their signatures had boenobtainodundorprossuro in a weak moment. MrWAKifFiKLnsaid thoColonialTroasuror had dono his best to prejudice tho caso against tho women by putting colouring on a letter written by thorn. Who knew under what pressure that rotracHon was mado ? [Tho Pri'.mier : Noproasuro at all.] If tho Committoo had beon appointed by tho Colo nial Secretary to manago tho Hospital, why did not tho Colonial Secretary loavo tho Comraitteo to act on thoir own responsi bility insioad of interfering himself X Ample grounds had been shown for a very full in quiry.

Mossrs Fdltojj and Hrm.iT deprocatcd tho ppeech of tho Treasurer, which quito prejudged the naee, find advocated tho coureo suggested by the Premier, viz, to defor discussion until to morrow (Friday), when papers would bo on tho table.

Mr Samuels withdrew hi? motion for ad journment of the Houso, and gdvo notice that ho would to-morraw move that a com mittee be appointod to inquiro into tho cir emn.«tances attend ing tho reccntdismiesal of surgeon, steward, and nurses of Wellington Hospital, such committeo to have power to call for persons and papors, and to report within ono week, tho Committed to consist of Messrs Stout, G F. Kichardson, Major Steward, Hatch, Garrick, Hurathonso, Pearson, H. Hirst, and the mover, three to form a quorum, Foreign Companies Insurance Bill. The Foreign Companies Fire and Marine Insurance Bill wag reported fiom the Legi slative Council, the most important amend ment being the striking out oftho •' mutual" clause.

Mr Ivess, on behalf of an agricultural community who had been benefited by tho competition of a foreign insurance company, movod that the amendment of the Council bo considered that day six months. Ho eaid that alroady the local companies had raieod their rates 25 per cent. Sir Julius Vooel suggostcd that before taking the step proposed tho Committee should be appointed to confer with the Council re the amendments.

Major Atkinson said tho bill was a measure to promote monopoly. He would be glad to support the bill making com'

panics limited, but this measure would drive out of tho colony any company that had in more than one district of tho colony led to a reduction of premiums. The ]louso was bound to protect the aountry from inch monopoly. Mr Stott said lint tho bill allowed assurance companies to have limited liability on certain conditions. Major Atkinson's sole objection was that ono Victorian Comp.my carrying on business in the colony had not sufficient capital 10 meet with tho requirements of tho bill. Ho urged that instoad of throwing out the bill a Committed should bo appointed to draw up reasons why the amendment of tho Legislative Council should not be agreed to.

Mr Wakf.iiki.h said tho clauso rejected in tho Council waa a safeguard against monopoly. It wa.s not tho Australian Com pany that had upset logisla'tion, but other companies that objected to competition, and if tho bill pasted, tho rales would, no doubt, bo raised loan excessive amount. Mr Moss said the wholo bill had b«on designed in tho interest of a number of local companies. When a small company took a risk it generally rc-iuaurcd its risks with a powerful English company. If the Go vernment were in earnest, lot them appoint commissioner* to inquire into the alluira of all insurance companies to ascertain if their capital wa.s equal to tho risk. Mr BiiCKi.AND moved tho adjournment till 7 30 to enable private members' business to bo proceeded with. Tho House divided-Ayes, 30 ; noes, '10. Tho motion for adjournment was lost Mr BAHROM moved t-hat amendments bo now agreed to. The Houso then divided on tho question that tho amendments of tho Legislative Council bo read that day six months ■ Ayes, 50; noes, '27. Tho Ministers voted with tho noes.

Land Bill.

The entire evening sitting was occupied with a discussion on tho Land Bill.

Mr Stout hoped that a Commission would be appointed to inquire during the recess into tho circumstances of the deferred pay mont settlers.

bir Gkoboh GnKY thought tho condition of six Years' residence waa too hard to im poso on deferred payment sottlera. Other members spoke to tho same cfl'oot. Mr Suome Mackknxii moved that a portion of Clause 127 bo struck out, which provided that a grunt shall not bo issued to a selector until tho expiration of six yours. Jle contended that thoso roloctors who had fulfilled the required conditions should bo put in a position to receivo their grants. While discussingtho clause which deals with applications to capitalists on unpaid instal ments for land, Mr MACKENZIE said that nlme.-t every person win compelled to borrow at some time, and ho was surprised that a Government, wUoso wholo policy was a borrowing policy, should try to prevent, tho unfortunate settler from borrowing lifty pound* whon ho wanted it. Tho amendment was lost. In Clause KM Sir 0. tiuiiY moved a pro viso that land under tho deferred payment system might also bo brought under tho homestead Hyatom. The amendment was lout. The Mackenzie elauso provoked a long discussion. It provides that no porson hoiding land capable of carrying L>o,ooo sheep or 1,000 head of cattle shall be en titled to become purchosorof any additional pastoral license or lease. Mr Fi:U':r.s suid tha system of cutting up tho country into small runs had been tried in (he Wakatipu district, and had failed because tho email holders were I unable to cope with tin; rabbits. On I the Malvern Hills run, 121 men were being employed keeping down the rabbits. Mr Stout said (he New Zealand Loan and I Murcauti'u Company surrendered pieces of I mil, and I hoy were not small men, Sumo |of the richest holders had asked the j Government to allow them to surrender.

After luttlicr discussion tlio c'.auso was l<i.-t nn a division by 2-1 to 11).

Thoqlovoit woro merely a blind. Tho ii;;ht hud beon spoUonef by tlio Roy. Mr North,of Dutiodin, in a 'o'tor to tho same journal, as an event Unit was a disgrace to tho community, against which tho public ought very ulVeotually to rniso their voico?. As to tho desirability of putting a stop to these exhibitions, thero could not be two opinions, und ho (Mr l<oss) trusted tlio Government would give an answer in tho iilVnniativo.

The Minister for Justice said thero could bo no doubt that the exhibitions were dis graceful, and cvon brutal, and tho Govern ment would tnko steps to prevent tlio continuance of them.

Wilson, which ho rofundod, tho report as amended was then adopted.

Waikomiti Cohfery.— Tho Legal Com mitteo recommended (1) that tlio outside sholter bult at tliia Cemcctry should bo planted with 40G pin us insignia, at a cost of £'25 7b Gd, as per plan and oll'or sub mitted by Ward & Loigh ; (-2) that tho Solicitor state, ro Hobeon st, agroomont, whether ho considered tho Council aro bound if tho deed bo eijrned by tho proporty owners : Tho roport was adopted Tho City Solicitor's opinion on tho point suggested had boon obtained, and was as follows: "Tho Council would not bo loyally bound by this document until elo cution of same by tho Council. Tho mere preparation of tho document by tho Coun cil, or its approval of it (unless such ap proval complied with Clause 174 of tho Municipal Corporations Act, IS7K)- though morally binding would havo no legal offoct. Neither would the signature of tho proporty-holdora alono bind tho Council. Such signatures only bind tho persons who actually tign or otherwise execute., the document." Tho deed of agreement was therefore reforrcd to tho North Ward Councillors, in order to obtain tho signa tures'of interested property-owners. Finance Committee.—This CouimiUoe reported that tho list of Corporation proper ties to bo insured had been considered and rovL-od.—Tho report was adopted. Nuisances, Dons, &c~ The Sanitary Inspector reported that during tho fortnight 1)0 had attended to 77 complaints of nui sances, &c i issued 14 notices to abato nuisances, &o, ; and had received reports of throo cases of infectious diseaso, viz diphtheria, typhoid, and meat-lea.

_ Fever Beds.—The following rcprcpontu non by tho Sanitary Inspector of a fertile source of dißoai-e in tho city was received : - I would respectfully call tho attention of the Council to tho urgent necessity for legislation in regard to tho placing of privies in yards. At present an owner of a hou.ee can (if ho so desire) place a privy right up against a neighbour's house, even

although ho has plenty of space for placing it otherwise. A complaint was made to me on Tuesday (and I endorse it) of two privies placed almost up against a house in a thickly populated neighbourhood, where a child is now down with typhoid fever. Tho child complained of the smell from these closets, and hence the father complained to me. I cannot render him any assistance, there being no measure to deal with such an abominable nuisance Some timo ago 1 tried to shift privies complained of by John Bell, in Chapel street, but failed in getting them shifted, as they had been constructed according to tho regulation of tho Coun cil, and wore emptied regularly every fourteen days. I would request that a law be made at onco, to say how far privies should bo placed from dwelling houses. There should bo so much area of a yard to ovory dwelling house, and privies should be placed noaror to the houses of thoso who are to use such privies than to tho houses of tlio neighbours adjoining, so that thoso who really ueedthom would not be doprived of any of tho benelits arising from such conveniences. And the nuisanco of a filthy privy would bo more likely to be remedied sooner by the persons causing tho nuisance, if such persons wore to receive tho full bonefitof their own neglect.—The communi cation was referred to tho Legal Committee 'in order that steps should bo takon to framo a by-law to meet the case of the nuisances pointed out by the_ Inspector. Emily Place.—The Engineer reported that ho had not been able to obtain for that ovenine the information wherewith to an swer (Jr. Crowthor's questions :-(]) Pro paredness of Emily Place for traffic when present contract is finished. (2) If there was any obligation on the contractor's part to properly grade into Jermyn-street, Eden Crescent, and Shortland-street. (3) If not, was this a practicable grade, and what would be probable cost of paying same and laying down scoria ash ? Leave of Absence.— A fortnight's leave of absence was granted to Cr. Dignan. The Mackelvie Bequest.—Cr. Dovoro moved: "That the Library Committee enquire and report to this Council: (1) The conditions of the bequest of tho late Mr Mackelvie for founding a Free Public Museum of Art. (2) The desirability of utilising for some other public purpose so much of the Free Public Library now building as is sot apartfor an Art Gallery."— Cr. Devorc produced a copy of Mr Mac kelvio's will, and pointed out that his bequest would not now be available for stocking the Art Gallory provided for by the City Council. In his opinion, there fore, tho space thus tot free might very well be devoted to the purposes of a Technological Museum, when funds wero available In tho meantime, it might be used as a temporary Town Hall, a portion being set apart for the purposes of a lending library, which was bound to be started at no distant date.—Cr. Upton soconded tho motion, and supported it in a forcible speech.—After remarks had aleo beon made by Cra. Mackechnle, Garratt, Holland, Waymoath, Crowther, and the Mayor, the motion passed. The rough minutes wero read, and the Council rose.

PRISONERS PROBATION BILL.

(BY TELKOKAI'JI - PARLIAMENTARY

KKPORTER.)

Wellington, this day. The Prisoners Probation Bill has just beon circulated. It proposes to per mit the conditional release of first offenders for a probation of good con duct. Tho Government is empowered to appoint probation ofiicers, who shall havo the powers of constables, and whose duty it shall be (1) to inquire carefully into tho character and offence of every person arrested for a first offence for the purposes of ascertain ing whether tho accused may reasonably be oxpected to reform without imprisonment; (2) to attend tho Bittinge of all Courts in his district where first offondera are to be tried ; (3) to recommend to the Court placing on probation of first offenders ; (4) to koop a full record of tho results of his investigations. Ho may also recommend tho release of accused persons on probation, and if nocessary ro-arrest them without further warrant.

PROPOSED ROAD ACROSS FREEMAN'S BAY.

This project of binding tho western suburb more closely to tho city by bridging tho chasm of Freeman's Bay with a road that hIkiII unito Mount St. * ary with Customs street West, bill;* fair to bo a fail accompli at no distant dato. Pursuant to instructions from tho City Council, and with a view to the completion of arrangements with the Harbour Board, tho City Engineer has just finished a eot of plans skewing the beet means of con tinning Harbour and Wai temata streets to the beach, bo as to effect a junction with tho road which tho Harbour Board pro poso throwing across the bay from the point, whenco Customs-street reaches its western extremity, and swoops round to tho southward. It is proposed to carry Harbour-street along in a straight, excepting a slight deflection, so as to leave untouched as much as pos sible of the ' Catholic property. The proposed width is 50 feet, and the excavation involved will be inconsiderable. The plans also show an extension of Waite matastreot for some distance in a Btraight line, and then a sharp turn so as to effect a junction with Harbour and Customs-streetß at tho back. It will necessitate much heavier cutting and greater expense. Alternative grades of 1 in 10, 1 in 12, and 1 in 15, aie shewn, and prtbubly tho last named will be adopted. An Harbour ■ street affords tho best and most direct line, of communication and its extension will entail tho least cost. Tho works in con nection with it will doubtless bo started as soon as tho arrangoment between the two contracting bodies is offected.

THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN.

Tuk correspondent of " St. James's Gazette" at Madrid, writing on the 2Sth of June, gives tho following particulars of tho cholera epidomic : — " It is calculated that the pecuniary loss suffered by the shopkeepeia of Madrid through tho closing of tho shops a week ago amounts to upwards of £20,000 1 This is cutting off ono's noso to spite tho face with a vengeanco. Notwithstanding this loss, and the fatal riot which occurred that night, tho Uniou Mercantile had decided to close tho shops again on tho Ist of July. Tho average number of caaos occurring in Madrid daily is about seven. In one house alone there havo been eight deaths, and thoro remain ten ill. Up to the pre sent all tho crises havo occurred in the southern quarter of tho town, whore the poorest classoß Hve, but some cases havo now occurred in other quarters Not long ago, I took a walk across tho fields to the south of Madrid, crossing the Manzanarees. Within a fow yards of the houses, men were skinning dead horses, and tho stench was fearful. '1 he authorities, however, are be having splendidly ; nothing is loft undone to arrest tho epidemic, and I feel euro that wo have to thank them for not having tho cliolora worso already. "Murcia has been severely punished. A few days ago the number of people attacked in ono day was upwards of 300, and the deaths upwards of 200 ; this, considering that about 15,000 people only remain out of 54,000 inhabitants, is pretty Eovcro. In that unhappy town all the shops, with the exception of a few chemists' and bakers', aro shut; nearly every house is alao shut up, and not 100 people aro to be scon in the streets in the wholo town. Most of these are tho doctors rushing about from patient to patient, and tho prioats hurrying along to administer the last rites "of the Church. Collins arc deposited at tho street-door? to be taken up by the dead cart as it pasfos, and tho funereal silence that reigns in tho plaso is only broken by tho lugubrious tinkling of tho dead-cart bell. Tho Civil Governor, Sonor Alcazar, who.-c behaviour may well bo called heroic, is now down with the dread diseas-o. The conduct, also, of Peris Monchuta, tho graphic correspondent of the ' Correspond encia do Espana,' as well as that of his wife, is beyond a'l praise. To slmw to wiiat a pitch things' havo come in Murcia, a man was caught tho other day in a house whero all tho inmates had died, quietly making off with all tho effects. The cholora began this yoar in Murcia on tho day of Corpus Christi, as it did in 1834. Tho fistors of charity are also dying fast, but their placos are quickly filled by other Christian heroines. The Bishop is said to have remarked that if things continue at tho present rate one month longer, no one will bo left to feed tho cholera. A ptojws of this, Peris Mencheta mentions in ono of his letters J; j;n Murcia, how in Seville, in the six teenth century, the number of victims of the pest was co great that the ddad could not bo buried fast enough, and many corpses wore left to rot in the streets. The panic a'-.d confusion became'so great at last that the Mayor is;ucd a proclamation cay ing that, in view of the impossibility of burying all tho dead, anyone feeling him self ill was to go forthwith to the cemetery,"
