LATEST CABLEGRAMS.

parliamentary elections —two tories returned. LONDON, July 20th.

The election of the representative for the British division of Lambeth in the House of Commons, rendered vacant by the appointment of Mr Boggally as a magistrate took place yesterday, and resulted in the return of the Conser. vative candidate, the Marquis of Car marthen, eldest son of the Duke of Leeds, by a majority of 738. ■ ' The election to the vacancy in par liamentary representation of the Horn sey division of Middlesex, caused by the elevation of Mr McGarel Hogg to the peerage, resulted in the return of Mr Stephens, the Conservative candi date, by a majority of 1,988.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

A meeting of the Conservative party, under the presidency of Lord Salisbury, was held at the Carlton Club to-day, for the purpose of discus sing the objections raised by tbe Liberal unionists to several clauses of the Irish Land Bill now before Parlia ment.

Lord Salisbury announced that in order to meet the views and retain the support of the Liberal Unionists the Government had consented to amend the bill by admitting the revision of judicial rents pending the introduc_ tion of the Land Purchase Bin They had only decided to drop the bankruptcy clauses embodied in the measure. The majority of the meeting concurred in the proposals of the Government, there being only a few dissentients.

DEFENCE OF INDIA.

Calcutta, July 20.

It is announced that the Indian Go vernment are. engaged studying measures for the improvement of the internal and external defence of India.

TASMANIAN FINANCES.

TAXATION TO MEET A DEFICIT.

Hobart, this day.—Mr Bird, Colonial Treasurer, delivered the financial statement in the House of Assembly last night. It showed that its expenditure exceed the. re venue. The deficiency at the end of June next is estimated at L16_,000. He proposed to in troduce measures for the imposition of in come, land and Chinese poll taxes.

FIRE IN THE SUPREME COURT.

(BY TELEGKAPH. —rRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Dunedin, this day. Fire broke out in the Supreme Court thi s morning through a defective pipe in the dividing wall. The fire was suppressed without much damage, but had it occurred in the night it is probable that the entire building would bave been destroyed.

THE H.A.C.B. SOCIETY.

The anniversary of *&a local branch of theH.A.C.B. Society v. ... celebrated last evening by a social gathe____g in the Catho lic Institute, which proved to be a com plete success. There was a very large at tendance, no fewer than one hundred couples being present. The hall was decor ated with evergreens and flags, and the handsome banner belonging to the branch occupied a position of honour. Dancing commenced soon after eight o'clock, and was continued throughout the night with occasional intervals for refreshment. The programe included several Irish jigs and reels, and a Scotch reel, and in this respect differed from the ordinary dance pro gramme. Messrs S. Fairweather and J. Patterson discharged the duties of Masters of Ceremonies, -while the music was supplied by Townsend's band. Mr P. Mullins catered to the satisfaction of both com mittee and guests. During one of the in tervals the committee assembled- in the ante-room, where they entertained the representatives of other societies and other visitors at an imprompt little supper. Mr T. H. White, District President, occupied the chair, and among those present were delegates from the Loyal United Friends, Druids, and Foresters, and representatives from the Society's branches at Onehunga, Hamilton, and the Thames, and also Mr E. W. Morrison, one of the candidates for City West. The toasts drunk were those of the Royal Irish Rifles, Hobson Rifles, and Sister Societies. The Chairman proposed the two former, and Lieut. Patterson and Sergeant McCarthy responded for the Royal Irish, and Captain Little for the Hobaon. The latter complained that he had been compelled to tight against pre judice and opposition, and that the strength of his corps was repeatedly misrepresented by tho press, and other corps notably the City Guards, given credit for a large muster when they had not even enough for a parade. His was the only company that had capitated in the battalion for throe parades, and it had now 47 effective men on the roll. District Vice-President tben proposed the toast of " Sister Societies, and said unity should be their aim, because thoy had the same objects in view and the same means with whioh to obtain them. -We learn from Mr P. Kearney, the efficient secretary of the local branch, that the amount of its accumulated funds is L' 2,500. It has 250 members, and notwithstanding the depression, held its own during the last year. In such pay it expended in the half-year Ll7O, besides L3O from the Bene volent fund in alleviating distress.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Annual Sleeting.

The annual meeting of tho Chamber of Commerce is proceeding tins afternoon- The report of the year's proceedings which was brought up for confirmation was of a most voluminous character, dealing chielly with the steps taken by the Council of the Chamber with reference to the 'Erisco Mail Service, the mining industry, tech hical museums, trade with Canada, manu facturing industries, foreign trade, and Captain Daveney's settlement proposals. Speaking of tho proposed Maritime Exhibi tion and the steps taken by the. Chamber to excite public interest in the work the report stated : " The wholo sub ject was thoroughly ventilated, and a sub committee formed, to bring up resolutions. So far, no further steps have been taken. The time is either inopportune or from lack of enthusiasm it has been allowed to remain in abeyance—probably the mis-management of the London Exhibition is too fresh in the memory of the public." Harbour Improvements. As the portion of tho report alluding to harbour facilities is of current interest, we make the following extract: '' Your Council believe that, as the new .Harbour Board are made acquainted with the requirements and desires of the'commercial community, the same will meet with the attention re quired, and that suitable accommodation will be made to meet the rapidly-growing requirements of this portion of the colony, and are now engaged in carrying out the following new works, viz. :—A shed 294 feet long by 50 feet wide, with passages on both sides, but in order to get this to enlarge the wharf to the requisite dimensions. As part of the first section of the general scheme, it is in tended to extend the Railway Wharf for 420 feet into deep water and 500 feet easterly, which will give ample berthage for direct or mail steamers, with 27 feet at dead low water. The Railway Wharf on Quay frontage is also to be 120 feet wide overall on the top, and consisting of a rubble mole 30 feet wide on top, carrying three lines of rails between tho two rows of goods sheds. On each side of the mole timber decking will be carried, and goods sheds 30 feet wide and 12 feet high placed, capable if necessary of holding an inward or an outward cargo from or for the largest ocean-going steamer; so that both cargoes can be received and delivered as fast as the goods can be sent out of the vessel or stowed in her. Another line of rails, for working goods which do not require shelter or storage, will run close to the front of the sheds on the timber decking, making five altogether. Tho length of new berthage to be provided by the first section is 7,410 lineal feet, having depths of water varying from 27 to 18 feet at low water, and capable of accommodating about 20 vessels from 250 to 500 feet long, wlnre the inward and outward cargoes could be handled with safety and rapidity by passing the goods through sheds capable of holding about 20,000 tons in all. The following statement shows the present and proposed shed accommodation very clearly :—Rail way Wharf: present, 70 x 27, "315 tons ; Railway Wharf: proposed, 600 x 30, 3,000 tons ; Quay-street Jetty : proposed, 300 x 40, 2,000 tons ; Outer Eastern T : present, 89 x 82, 1,216 tons ; Outer Eastern T : pro posed, 294 x 50, 2,450 tons ; Outer Wes tern T : present, 71 X 30, 355 tons ; Outer Western T : proposed, 280 x 40, 1,857 tons ; No 2. Eastern T : present,4o x 30, 200 tons ; Hobson-street Wharf: proposed, 1,850 x 30, 9,250 tons ; total present shed accomodation: 2,086 tons ; total pro posed shed accommodation : 18,557 tons. A contract is also about being entered into, whereby the goods will be taken over, by a duly appointed person, from the slings, and receipts given for same to the ship, thus doing away with many objections and complaints that have prevailed in the past.

The building of St." Benedict's Church will, it is expected, be proceeded with at once. The contract was signed by the Building Committee of the church and by Mr J. J. Holland, the successful tenderer. The building is to be of brick. The con tract price is L 5,453.

Those interested in the progress of local industries could not do better than make a visit to Elliot-street, where Messrs Cousins and Atkin have on exhibition some 20 or 30 buggies, phaetons, pagnells and vehicles of other descriptions, all of their own manu facture. The specimens shown are elegant and- thouroughly honest in construction, and-persons desirous of "setting up a carriage" have special inducements offered for purchasing. Buggies are quoted at from L2O.

An extraordinary meeting of the Apple Farm Company was convened for this after noon for the purpose of passing special re solutions authorising tho voluntary wind ingrup of''the' Company. ! In view Of the splendid condition of tho orchard, it is ex pected that a new company will at once be formed to carry on operations.
