HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Misappropriation by Local Bodies. Monday, The House mot a'-. 10 a.m. Replying to Mr Richardson, whether tho Government will instruct the Auditor to lay information in ca^es of misappropriation of funds by local bodies', Mr Stoxt said in the question of loo.il government tho ratepayers should look after their own interests', but in special cases the Auditor-General would be in ! structed to take action. Other Questions. Replying to Mr Koss, Mr Tow; said in quirieswouhlbomadeinto the circumstances uiuler wliicli tho Chinese irim its of the Sea clfll'u Asylum met hiH death. Replying: to Mr Uichardnon, Mr Stout said tho (jovernment would consider the question oi appointing <» special committuo for the purpose of considering nil bills and matters affecting local government, Keplying to Mr Bcetliain ac to wliothor tho tiovorrmient would consider tho advisa bility of appointing v lloynl Commission for the purpObC of inquiring into the position of all local bodies, ,<:o that legiiilntion next ■ session might bo brought to a satisfactory decision, Mr Stout said the matter would roccivo careful consideration. liopljinpt to Mr Hnims, Mi Stout said members of tho Legislative Council did not receive honorarium when absent from tho Council. Ellis. The Agricultural and I'astoral Societies Act, 1!577, Amendment Bill, was read a second time and committed, road a third timo and passed. Mr Larnaou moved that the amend ments mado by tho conference in tho Minors Act Amendment be agreed to. Carried after discussion. Customs Interpretation Sir .11mi.s Voojx introduced the Custom? Tariff Interpretation Bill, which provides that the market value of cotton and drew-prints- should nut exceed od per yard. Tho bid "a.1- lead a aecond timo, committed, and parcel. Honorarium. Mr litmus moved for a return of tiio namca ot. all i-c<;Hiitivo Councillors from whom deductions wore made in honorariums for ISS-1 5. Sir Julik.s VouKii objected to the ques tion, and moved the previous question. Major Atkinson n^'recd with tho motion, and said it was rumoured (al hough ho did not believe it) that certain Councillors had overdrawn their honorarium, and in fair ness to llioeo lion, gentlemen tho return .-hould bo prepared. Sir Julius Youki, said if possiblo he would prepare the returns and withdraw his amendment. He hoped tho names of members of the Lower House would also be inserted. Mr Macan'drew moved an amendment in that direction, which was agreed to. Mr FKUCiOS moved as a further amend ment, "and tho number of days in which each member attended in euch session." Mr Stout strongly objected to this amendment, and Sir Jcliuh Vouiu euid if it was carried it would prevent the return being prepared this session. Tho amendment was carried by 42 to U After further discussion, Mr Bkown moved an amendment, "That as far as possible the return bo laid on tho table to-morrow, and comploted next session." This amendment was carried, and the original motion as amonded carried.

Land Bill. ]n tho afternoon, tho report of the Con fcronco on tlio Land Bill was agreed to. —Mr BaLLANOE explained the amendments tbat had been mado. As to tendering for land, it hnd been decided that unless thero was only ono tender lor perpetual leases, that tender should bo accopted at tho upset price. Tho homestead clause hud been re stored, with a modification that not more than 0,000 acres of land 6hould bo taken up in any ono district in ono year. Tho purchasing chuiso in the perpetual Ica-'O had been restore:!, but was not. ro apply to educational reserves. In the punishment clauses the imprisonment por tion hud been struck out, and the line of L'-O increased to i'aO,

District Railways Bill >Sir Juiiiu.s YocEii icoved lliut the amend meiit of tho Council docluring that "no now railways bo constructed under the Dis trict Railways Act " be agreed to. -The SI'KAKKK ruled that tho bill waa a money bill, and its amendment by tho Council a broach of the privileges of the House.—Sir Jumum Vogel moved for the appointment of a Comtnittoo to confer with a Committee of the Council on the subject, but the Speaker insisted on his ruling, und on the motion of Major Atkinson an amendent declaring that tho insertion of tho clauso waa a breach of tho privileges of tho House was earned. At a later stago a meesago was received from the Council stating that while the amend ment would not be insisted upon, the Council maintained its right to insert the

clause. Major Atkinson Reviews tho Session. The Appropriation and Immigration and I'ublic \\ oiks Appropriation Bills having passed through committee, on motion for third rending, Major Atkinson reviewed tho session. Ho naid tho Government had submitted to robufl's and defeats such as lie had never seen equalled whilo ho had had tho honour of sitting in Parliament, lie thought tho other members of tho Cabinet had treated ihe Minister of Justice (Mr Tole) badly by not allowing him to speak moro, and by witholding their support from his bills. TheMiimterot Mines(Mr Lw.iach) had boon equally badly sorved. With re gard to the Minister of Public Works, there had never at any time been bo many com plaints about tho misnnnagimont of rail ways. Then tho Kativo Minister, who thoroughly believed in himself, was yet led about liko a lame lambi and allowed Instills to meet tho fate of all tho policy bills of the Government, Hot hough tsome credit was due to Mr Ballanco for his Land Bill. Ho twitted the Treasurer with utter failure to roulise his great promises, aod with failing to grasp the condition of tho country. He had hoaped taxation on the country, and was not the man to reliovo tho depression. Jho Local Government proposals, which consisted merely of borrowing, wero utterly vicious, but had broken down with tho rest. The Government had shown their insincority by refusing to make the Eatt and West Coast Railway a Ministerial measure. Coming to tho Premier, he main tained that Mr Stout had accomplished nothing. By tho coureo he had taken i;i going into a coalition government, he had dono himself an injury from which ho would not recover for many years. Thero was no political sympathy "between tho tremier and Treasurer. It was reported that tho Premier intouded resigning during tho rocoss. He hoped the report was true, and that tho Treasurer would go with him. If thoy survived till next session, ho ven tured to predict that they would meet the just lewaid of their misdeeds.

Tho I'KEMIIiIt said Major Atkinson ou^lit to havo laid down v definite platform of policy, lie had dono nothing of the kind ; neither hud bo uttaekod tho policy or admin istration oi tho Government. Tho iioueo was in a peculiar condition, and Major Atkinson had stated that nothing but a coalition Government was possible; hia objection to tho present ono was that he was excluded from it. He (Mr Stout) admitted that the Govorn- ' mont ought to haveieeignod after tho dofoat of their tariff proposals, but if their eup pjrters had kept tho promises they then mado the Reseion would not Lave boon so barren as it had turned out. Ho defended tho native policy, and eaid the natives were convinced that tho Go vernment desired to deal justly with them. What had bccoino of the two Native Land Bills introduced by Major Atkinson'd Government '! ho Ministry had done 60 much as tho present ono to curb ianJs epcculuious. An to local govern ment, they were in no worse position than tho parties in England, who all admitted tho difficulty of settling this question. The Government had passed the Hospital Bill, which the member for Eginont had been endeavouring to paas for six years. Ho believed bed bodies would ultimately have to depend on themselves in tho same way as municipal corporations, and would havo to borrow to construct their own works. Tho Govern mont had passed a Fisheries Bui and a Forests Bill, and would havo materially assisted other industries if their Tariil' Bill had passed, Jdo thanked Mr Kolloston lor the hearty assistance ho had given to tho land Bill, and felt con vincod that that gentleman was s-ineoic in his desire for tho proper settle ment of tho country. lie also thanked Major Atkinson for his assistance in passing the bill. Thoy had in tho present Land Bill a moro liberal measuro than would ever bo passed by any other Parlia ment, and this alono would havo been a good record for a session. The criticism of Major Atkin.-on hud been of a poraonal kind. There would be no really stable Government in the country till there wore new parties formed on a proper basis. He deniod that there vvus any interest whatever between himself and tho Treasurer previous to taking oilicc, and if ho had consulted his own in terests he would not be in cilice at the

present timo.

The Company boga to notify to tho public that tho worka at Auckland and tho Waitara have now boon completed, and constitute tho most oxtensivo Mfcnt-presorving and Frooz-' ing Works in Now /oaland. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT Ig noiv open at tho Company's Worka at tho Railway Wharf, where Town and Country ordeia will bo attended to with tho utmost promptness and despatch. Tho Company can rofor with contidenco to the superior quality ef its I'rihj! Meat, as selected for tho market from largo quantities of first-class West Coast stock, dealt with at tho Company's Works, Waitara. SALT BEEF. Special attention is directed to tho Company's brand in this line, which, with tho faci lities afforded by tho cold-air process, can bo cured in mild pickle, and the necessity ..of cutting up in small pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M. Navy, hero and in Sydney, large stocks are kept on hand. BACON-OURING. Tho Cooling Chambers 'Jor Bacon-curing at the Company's Works in Auckland are now ao far advanced that this New Industry has been commenced, and choico Hams and Bacon can be offered cured on tho most modorn principle. Particular attention will bo paid to the selection of Pics for this usk, and on no account will any except Dairy or Corn Fed Pigs be purchased, as it is purposed to build up a reputation for an Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory.. MEAT-PRESERVING. This branch is equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, and tho Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS As siiporior to anything of the kind horotofore offered to tho public. Tho Company would specially call attention to tho fact that the COMPRESSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, PACKED IN TUE SQJJARE CAN (Tho right to which is patented), is tho first samplo from any part of the world that has been able to compete successfully in the London Market with the best Chicago brands. Hitherto tho Colonial meats packed in the round cans, although called compressed meats, wore only saleable in tho English markets, whore a low price was the first consideration, bat meats of tho Now Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockvajtd, wore awarded' the highest commendation, and placed on the register of accepted brands. The following extract from tho letter of tho Company's Agents in London, tho Now Zealand Loan and Morcantilo Agoncy Company (Limited), is referred to, who writo as follows : — " We have the pleasure to handjjou herewith an extract from a letter received from the War Office, Army Department:—" Samples of the. Peach Brand o( tho Now Zoaland Packing C!r jnbmltttd by you, have been tested and proved, and iho Brand will be added to tho Solectod Lint nf the Dopartroont" This now entitling you to tho prlvilego of comp tintf, ye thevrrforo tendered on your behalf aflWa 3d per 1121b; and to-day were grafflcd to hoar that thcjrjfler had toon nccoptot) notwithstanding that it was 9(1 per owt. higher than tho leading Amerloan brandß, showing that tho qualitywas fully appreciated." Consequent upon tho tomporary stoppage of production during tho transfer of tho Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waitara, and owing to the fact that tho reserve which had been relied'upon to'meet current demands was taken by tho New South Wales Government for the Soudan expedition, tho Company haa boon unablo to comply -with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all ordors with which they may bo favoured. WHOLESALE B.UTTER DEPOT. The Company is about to open a largo Wholesale Butter Depot at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chambers and tho necessary plant aro now being prepared. It; is anticipated that with tho appliancea, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with the ever-increasing surplus, the Company will bo able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce. Tho Company's Managers of this branch are cash purchasers of PiitnO Buttor and ?resh Eggs. Communications may at onco be andressed to them. The utmost care will be taken in the selection of Buttor for table use. This will bo made up fresh overy morning. As early as possible, wholcsalo orders of Butter will bo delivered in rofrigorated carts, so that retailor*! will be ablo to obtain a day's supply each morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company's Brands of Butter, will obtain a tablo delicacy throughout the year. The dopartment will bo under tho management of Messrs Glanvillo and Ellyett, whose Butter Business is being taken over by the Company. , ACID AND MANURE WORKS, Tho Directors being very desirous of satisfying the public as to tho genuineness of their Manures, have requested Prof. Browu, of tho Auckland University, to act as thoir Analyist, and he has agreed to certify to tho Analysis of tho Superphosphates. The Company will defray tho cost of any Analysis of Manures purchased direct from them and duly sampled, the rosult of which may be proved to fall below tho guaranteed 3tandard, and also allow 4s Cd per ton per unit for the deficiency. Samples and further information may bo obtained at the Works, Otahuhu, or at tho Office, Railway Wharf. STORING. The Company is now prepared to enter into arrangements for storing Genual Merchandise, etc., at current rates. The Storks have a lino of rail running through tho building to tho end of the Rail vay Wharf, so that all cartage, either by rail or vessel, is avoided. All goods stored are itded and unloaded under cover, hydraulic lift and other appliances being available.
