SUMMARY FOR HOME READERS

AUCKLAND, N.Z., May 21, 1837,

Parliament is now In session, and the colony is in consequence immersed in poli tics. Theyearlyrecurringsfcruggle between the " ins " and the " outs " for possession of tho Treasury benches ia nob one whit less keen because the Parliament is moribund and will die a natural death in the course of a few months. The Government are believed to be apprehensive of defeat, for the Budget statement was delivered at an unusually early date, as if with the intention of making that the basi3 of an appeal to the electors. A deficit for the past and promise of in creased taxation for tho future formed, how ever, a very unattractive statement, and tho result has been to alienate support from the Ministry both in the House and tho country. The new tariff proposals have been con demned from ono end of the colony to tho other. Their effect is judged to bo, on the whole, prejudicial to the public and to dealers, although they have evidently been framed with a view to fostering colo nial manufactures, and commercial men in all the centres of population are unanimous in protesting against the l.roposed changes. In tho House it is not improbable that Ministers will sustain a defeat on their financial proposals; but a dissolution of Parliament is nob a necessary corollary, as past experience has proved. Indications, however, favour the opinion that the Government mean to ask for a dis solution in the event of their financial policy being condemned by the House. The Governor's address at the opening of Parliament on 26th April contained re ferences to the Imperial proposals in con nection with Her Majesty's Jubilee, to the Imperial Conference, and the question of colonial defence. The abundant harvest was mentioned as likely to add to the pros perity of the colony, and allusion was made to the deficiency in revenue, arising from the fall in tho price of goods and the in creased habits of temperance among the people, while the necessity for measures of j retrenchment was enforced. ' Legislative measures wero promised deal ino- with tho question's of Representation, i Reform of the Legislative Council, Loans to Local Bodies, Acquisition of Lands for Small Farm Settlements, Encouragment of Manu facturing Industries, Tongariro National Park, and Assistance to gold mining, as wellasbill3 providing for amendments in the electoral laws, the Government Insur ance Act, the Criminal Law, tiie Guardian ship of Infants, and for the Constitution of Railway Boards of Advice. True to pledge, the Representation rJm was introduced early in the session, and after a good deal of manoeuvring, during which the measure came very near being swamped, it is now in a fair way of being passed. The House has endorsed the principle of representation on the basis of pooulation, and a re-arrangement of con stituencies will be necessary, as the result of Which tho North Island will gain several members at the expense of the South. The passing of this measure is imperative, as the former Representation shortly expires ; but there is still room to foar that Southern intrigue may be directed towards having the next general election fought with the old constituencies, und to that end an arrangement may be made with the Go vernment to have an itninediato dissolu tion. Retrenchment has been inaugurated, but not on a sufficient scale, in tho Civil Ser vice: but Ministers shirk the duty of touching Governmental expenses. Several private "members are, however, moving in that matter. Mr Ormond lias introduced bills to provide for tho reduction of the honorarium of both Houses to LI 00 and tho Governor's salary and •allowances from L 7.500 to L 4.000. Mr Barron is also intro ducing a measure with' a similar object. The Government have resolved upon proposing an annual vote extending over a eenes of years in aid of the Imperial Insti tute. Of course in the present state of the fin ances of tho country, any large contribution was out of the question, and it is under stood that the sum agreed upon is £1,000 per annum for a period of ten years. Jubilee preparations are in progress all over the colony, and the rejoicings on the 21st June next promise to be of a very enthusiastic character. The Go vernment introduced a bill authorising local aut 1 . ..rities to vote money from their funds in aid of the celebration of the Queen's Jubilee. The bill contained only one operative clause, as follows : — " Every local authority may, if it think fit, contribute out of the funds of the county which it represents such sum as may be thought expedient in taking part in the "celebration of the Jubilee. It may assist by way of grant or subscription in one or more objects of commemoration, either in or out the colony, or in public re joicings or demonstrations of any kind in the colony." Such opposition was shown to the principle of this measure that tho Government promptly withdrew it, and therefore the cost of tho Jubilee rejoicings must be defrayed, and appropriately so, by the freewill offerings of the people. Among the measures submitted to Parlia ment, the Women's Suffrage Bill, introduced by Sir Julius Vogel, has excited consider able comment. This bill places women upon a perfect political equality with men, and asthesecondreading was carried on the 12th instant by a majority of 40 votes to .22, here appeared a likelihood of its becoming law. In that event New Zealand would have taken the lead in experimental legislation of an ultra-Liberal character, the results of which are extremely problematical. In committee, however, the essential clause of the bill, providing for the insertion of the words " and woman" in t,he Qualifica tion of Electors Act, was lost by 21 to 19.

Sir George Grey carried the second read ing of bis Law Practitioners Bill by iive votes. After he had moved its second read ing, Mr Lance proposed an amendment that it be read that day six months. The lawyers in the House did not hold their usual sessional debate, for they doubted not their strength to defeat the bill. The division list, however, showed that they had erred, for the Speaker announced that the amendment was nega tived by 30 to 29. The result was received with hearty cheering. Mr Samuel made a bitter attack on the principle of the bill, the second reading of which was carried by 29 to 24. Its committal is fixed for Wed nesday, the2sfch inst. . ... Mr Samuel has introduced a bill to amend the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act. It is framed on the lines of the mea sure introduced in the New South Wales Parliament by Sir Alfred Stephen, who has been in communication with Mr Samuel on the subject. The bill allows a wife to peti tion in case of her husband's adultery within six months before the presentation of peti tion, and to permit either husband or wife to petition in cases of wilful desertion for three years, habitual drunkenness, habitual cruelty fqr two years, conviction for crime and sentence for two years, and incapable insanity. Power will also be given to the Court to prevent publication of evidence where expedient.

Mr Thomas Bracken moved in the House of Representatives a resolution expressing , disapproval of the coercive policy now being applied by thri Imperial Government in Ireland; but the motion, which had no chance of passing, was talked out. * • , Among the papers laid on the table of the House was correspondence relating to the naval defence of the colony, dealing par ticularly with the combined action of the colonies in the event of war. The Govern-

ment were distinctly of Australasian' fleet should be strengthened. .:SfvfesH.' in a memo to the Defence favoured the selection of coaling station forller S value as such, he points oSSis! hanced by the fact that of all ttSjs™ the one most strongly. also the coal harbour of Rui&Mffallp distance, where Her Majesty's' ~ procure coal cheaply and th e £ J3s's. ; be small. Moreover, Auckland large enough to repair visiting Australia, and its siS"sisM gards fie Pacific that of any of the colonies favours a sanatorium for sailors great heat of Australia or the affected and already and machine-makers capable of *¥**& ing any repairs that might b<, Wellington is also an excellent defended harbour, with many of ill , M tages of Auckland, but not nS* dock like the Calliope or a safe HS* whore coal can be obtained at a ened by the absence of freight * chea P- Each succeeding month's retiH'V Customs revenue gives added pro o ft£ « Ot ebb tide of commercial debresaiZ i 9 touched low water mark, and that is about to enter on the flood tide of I J ity. Thus, although the Colonial fi* has a deficit to face, there are hopes S present! year's receipts will tent make up for past A telegram from that the Customs revenue 'collected irtW colony last month was LI 19,402 as L108,G31 for the corresponding m ffi last year. The amounts collected at U principal ports were :-Auckland, L3OW Wellington, L 17.072; LytteltohandCS church, L 25,798; Dunedin, L 25 822-I is highly gratifying to note an increase over 10 per cent, as compared with* year, despite the continued fall-itf M n # and it is Jturfcher matter for conm&tuM to see Auckland occupying fcbSJ I&jj3 place.

There was no question of public importance agitated in the city of aumirbati districts, but there was a large tan-out at most of the meeting.?, and a keen interest manifested in the proceedings. Themethod of election has been again proved to te unwieldy and unsatisfactory, and at some meetings in Napier and Dunedin disorderly scenes took place. . •. •
