FREE TRADE V. PROTEC TION.

A most interestiner discussion took place last evening in tho Newton Schoolroom, Edinburgh-street, betweon the members of the Bereeford and Newton Debating Societies on the question, "Which is the most beneficial to Now Zealand, Frea Trade or Protection ':" The Key. Mr Close, pastor of Mount Eden Con ere"ational Church, occupied tho chair, Incfbriefly opened tho proceeding. Thoro presentatives of the Borosford Class led off in favour of Free Trade, Air Airston making an eloquent appeal to the reasoning capacities of the opposite party. His opinions were cnrefully nnalysod by Mr \V. Smith, the leader of tho Newtonites, who contended that young industries required fostering, even as young children needed nursing. The following gentlemen then jpokoln favour of Free Trade :—Messrs Webb, Fowler, In.-ull, Peace, Rondell, Lyons, and Lee ; and Messrs W. Atkin, E. Wood, A. Rosier, W, Soxton, G. Ssxton, Edmonds, and Spencer sup ported the Protectionists' theory. Good Bpeeches were mado on either side, though the Freetrader* had slightly tho advantage by being as a rulo tho more elderly members of the classes, and there fore more accustomed to appearing in public. Aftor the debate had been opened by ths four leading epeeches from each Society, the Chairman stated that tho Bulbing members wero at liberty to Epeak and vote according to their private opinion, the diecusaion thus cemiog to be distinctly a party affair. Consequently members wero found voting and speaking on the opposito sides of the question taken up by their respective societies, When the matter was put to tho vote, the numbers stood aa follows:—Froe traders, 28; Protectionists, 25. It was evident from this that the Freetraders had adduced convincing argument, as only four Beresford members voted for Pro tection, whereas when tho question was discussed in their own class a short time ago, the numbers were divided—l 3 for Free Trade, and 12 for Protection, It is, of couree, possible that after all there was a little party voting in the matter, as some of the strongest Protectionists on tho previous occasion appeared last night as expounders of Free Trade principles. Tho meeting was open to the public free of charge, and about two hundred persona wero present, many of whom wero ladies, who manifested the keenest interest in the discussion. A vote of thanks tras accorded to tho Chair man before tha meeting disported,

NORTH SHORE CRICKET CLUB.

Theee was a very large attendance at the meeting held at Devonport laat evening lor ths purpose of considering whether it was advisable to reform the North Shore tncket Club. Mr Edward Biugess oc cupied the chair. It was resolved that the club be re-formed on the former basia. Mr VV. J. Hurst,was elected President; Captain Morrison, Vice-President; Mr Chapman, secretary; and Mr Benge, Treasurer. A subcommittee was also appointed to treat witb ths Domain Board towards obtaining a suitable ground, and report to a future meeting. It was agreed that the Club should devote £10 towards improving the ground, on condition that the Board did likewise and also took off the cattle. The interest exhibited in all discussions last evening shows that there aro many ardent cricketers in the marino suburb, and if a suitable ground is obtained, there is little doubt that the Club will be a very strong

The police have concluded their quarterly report on the hotels of the city aud suburbs for presentation to the Licensing Courts which are about to hold their quarterly sit tings.

Thaeo aro considered to be evasions of the con ditions on which the licenses woro granted, and arc likely to load to somo trouble with tho Commissioners,

WILL OF THE LATE J. T. MACKELVIE, ESQ.

Suggosted Slto For Art Gallery.

TIIK City Council resolved last night, upon tho motion of Councillor Devoro, tliat the Library Committee should roport upon the desirability of utilising for

EOino public purpose tho space in the Frca Library thut had beon reserved for an art gallery, but which was now rendered unnecessary for that purpose by the terms of Mr MacUolvio'a will Councillor Devoro had with him a copy of this will, and ho explained tho substance of it to the Council. After making a number of private bequests, tho testator goes on to bequeath all hid "pictures, prints, bronzes, statue?, vases, works of art, articles of vertu and curiosities, together with nil his land and real estate to D. L. Murdoch, Albin Martin, J. L Campbell, and Thomas Kussoll upon trust, in order that they may "so soon as conveniently may bo" after his death " purchase or acquire a sito " in or near tho city of Auckland, " and cause to be erected on such sito a Museum capablo to roceivo and display the said collection, and any addition that may bo mndn to tho

same, such Museum to bo substantially built of brick or stone, and to bo of such design ns tho said trustees or trusteo may think fit." Tho cost of such build in?, including that, of tho site, is not to excoed .CIO,OOO, and both Museum and site are to legally vest in tho trustees, Tho will them proceeds to say that tho trustees shall hold tho Museum and its contents "as a freo public museum of art for ovor, and shall allow tho said Museum to bo visited at all suitable times an Sundays, as well as week days by all decont and orderly pooplo without payment or exceptional privilege" It thon provides that £'2,000 shall bo investod to raiso a revomio whereupon to pay tho salary of a resi dont custodian, and that £1,000 shall bo invested to keep tho museum in repair and insurance. The surplus of tho trust moneys aftor all theso things have boon dono, is to bo laid out "in tho purchase, transport, and arrange ment of other works of art of any kind, or objects of curious or Antiquarian interest connected with Iho art to bo added to and hold, and exhibited with the ■'aid collection." "Without fcttoring tho choice of tho trustees," the testator expro.Sc-os tho opinion that "tho Museum would bo suitably plaead in tho grounds of Government House " if ycr petual possession can be obtained. I'ro vision is mado to enable students and others to copy works of art, and a part of tho Museum is also to be fitted up in a public library of art to bo furnished with "books instructive, historicnl, or curious in matteia of art," In case tho trustees should disclaim their trust, tho President ofthoPunka of New Zealand, and tho Mayor and Bishop of Auckland (for tho timo being), their sucossore should act as trustees. Tho will was mado in Decomber, ISS4, and the amount estimated to nccmo to tho trustoqs for tho purposes of tho Musoutn is between £42,000 and £43,000.

In the courso of his romarks last night Councillor Devoro suggested tho ad visability of making a freo gift to tho trustees of a sito in tho plantation resorvo on tho western side of Bowen ptrcet, bo that tho money saved theroby might bo ppont upon tho building itnolf, £10,000 would thus bo available for the purpose, and ns tho Harbour Board offices had been erected for £S,OOO, n structure worthy of tho city end tho tcstitor's munifi cence would bo the result. As for the spaco set free in tho Free Library building, a portion would be required for the lending branch, ami the/remMnder might temporarily servo tho purposes of ;i Town Mall, but might eventually perve for a Technological Museum. These views wore supported by Councillors Upton, Garratt, and other?, and the motion indicated at tho outset-passed with but little opposition.

MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.

An adjourned meeting of creditors of Mr Stodart was hold this afternoon in tho office of the Official Assignee. J, Lawson, Esq., presided. The object of he mooting was to receive logal opinion. If tho creditors had power to sell a certain piece of proporty in Ponsonby ownod by Mr Stodart, and over which thero was no mertgogo. Part of this land had been handed over to tho city as a road, and upon which the authorities had formed and metalled it. The legal opinion was that nothing could bo dono in tho matter for the benefit of the creditors. At a meeting of the creditors of Joseph Lee this morning, Mr Hill stated his belief that he could bring ngainst the bankrupt's proof of irregularities sufficient to warrant an adjournment. After eorno discussion the Assignee was left to call a further meeting if tho he deems it necessary. The creditors of A. L. Wilson, miner, held a meeting at 2.30 this afternoon and paesed a resolution requesting the Assignee to report to the Judge that they offered no opposition to Wilson's discharge. NormanJArch. McMillan, of Hokianga, carpenter,*filod a petition in bonkruptcy to day.

MILITARY INQUIRY.

AN inquiry into tho cause of Lieutenant Wool field's accident was held yosterday at the Drill shed. Tho Board appointed by the Government consisted of Maior Lusk (who presidod). Captain Morrison. A.C., and Captain-Commandant Le- Roy of tho Auckland Naval Artillery. Messrs 15. iieskoth and T. Cotter, who dad boon retained by Captain Secconibe and DrUllnstructor; Smith, were requested to withdraw before the Inquiry proceeded. Tho first witness was Lioutennnt Wool leld. who stated thatho believed tho affair was not wholly accidental, and pave his vorsion of the ineide.it leading t^ that impression and to the charge which he had laid. He stated Captain Seccomhe requested him to take his pruco before Instructor Smith, and he parried tho first pass successfully ; that on the second his attention was drawn away talking to tap tain Scccombo, when Smith gave him tho point. Dr. Corbott then gave evidence, which was fa vourable to tho accused. Tho wound was merely auperlicial; the skin had bceu piorced above the ribs, but the wound healed m less than IS hours, no important tissues being touched. He further stated that the plaintiff's subsequent illness arose from the, shock sus tained by his nervous system. Captain Seccombo stated that Instructor Smith was showing him some new sword cuts. A discussion arose, and Lieutenant Woolflold requested to take his (witness's) place, which was agreed to. Ihe two officers engaged in sword exercise, and shortly aft»r Woolllcld, who was supposed to be acting on the defensive, advanced and ran against Smiths weapon. He had no personal feeling against Lieutenant Woolfield. Mr. Thompson and Sir. Bishop, boarders at the Wa verly Ho el where tho incident occurred, corroborated the evMenc" of! Captain Sc combo. A third boarder named Dent was also in atten.lnnco.. but the Courtdeclined to hear his evidence, being satis fied that Uie case was prrtly an accident.

THE NORTH ISLAND TRUNK RAILWAY.

The Government appear to be using their best endeavours to push on the construction of the North Island trunk line of railway. Mr Coates is making active progress with his contract for tho formation of the first

stage of 15 miles from Te Awamntu to Puniu, and tenders are invited for the formation of the second stage of 10.? miles,. extending from Punu to Te Kuiti, while surveys are actively pro ceeding over a considerable area of country still further in advance. The Te Kuiti con tract commences at Punui, passes over pretty level and somewhat swampy coun try, and runs through the Maori race course at Te Kuiti, just beyond which it stops. This contract includes the construction of four bridges, viz., two over tho Mangapu River, one 676 feet long, and tho other 261 feet long, tho third bridge 131 feot long ever tho Mangarapa River, and the fourth bridge IS4 feet iong over tho Manga-o-Kewaßivor. Another contract of about similar length (10 or 11 miles) from Te Kuiti onward, will be let almost immo diatoly, and by this timo next year tho Dis trict Engineer (Mr Hales) believes the whole extent of tho lino between To Awamutu and tho Purotarau tunnol (49 miles from Te Awamutu) will be under contract. Mr.l. J. O'Brien is already pushing on with the tunnel, wh?ch will bo 1,166 yarda in letgth. Beyond it the surveyors aro busily at work, and another body aro making surveys for a 'road or curt track that is to lead from tho tunnel to a tribvtivry of tho Wanganui river. Tenders are already being called for the construction of tho first section of fivo miles, and tho Public Works Depart ment is trying to arrange with tho Govern ment to do a second section of twelve miles.

A woman named Jane Errington fell down the stops of her house in Lorno-street to-day and broke horleft arm. Sho was at tended to by Dr. Bond at the Hospital.
