occurred

A great number of boats were dis. masted, and many were driven to seai others "being swamped.

Scores of expert swimmers, trying to reach the shore, sank exhausted. Over forty boats are missing, of which a large proportion sank while the others drifted to sea dismasted.

It is calculated that fully five hundred and fifty white and native divers perished. ; .:

Railway Employee*

Mr Taylor propose? to asli if the wages of engine driver?, shunter*. ir.echa;:ics. and other labourer? nre tc be reduced If per day after the let cf June.

The Opposition and the Reprc

scntatfou Bill. A meeting of tho Opposition party was held this morning, when then the Repre sentation Bill wft? discussed. The Bill generally was approved of and it was tacitly understood that no. opposition should be offered to its second reading, although it was considered thnt it should be modified iii gome rcpects. The opinion was expressed thnt the per centagc for sparsely populated districts was misleading, and would not have the effect which the promoters claimed for it.

Local Sills Comulttce

Sir G. F. Richardson was today appoint ed chairman of the Local Bills Committee, defeating Mr Donald Reid, who was nomi nated by the Premier.

Additional Grounds of Divorce

The Divorco and Matrimonial Causes Act Amendment Bill which Mr Reynolds has introduced in the Council provides the fol lowing further grounds of divorce: —(I) Desertion on the part of the* husband or wife for the. tpaco of at least seven years. (2j A wife may ask for a dissolution of marriags if her hus band, ha= been gv.ilty of adultery within twelve months of the date cf presenting th; petition ; (3V conviction for in indictable offence, and sentence fcr h period ;i not less than five years ix.priscn.T.er.t, or con finement to a lusatic asylum for three yean continuously.

NATIVE LAND PURCHASE.

There is a rumour going the round of the lobbies that tho Government during the recess paid the wife of an Auckland mem ber £1,725 for her into rest in a block of native land. This explains the following question, of which Mr Rolleston has g^ven no'ice : "Whether during the past finan cial year the Government has paid any sum or sums of money directly or indirectly to any member of this House, or to his wife, on account of any purchase of native lands or any prospective interest therein, and if so, under what circumstances."

NOMINATED IMMIGRATION.

Between May Ist, 18S6, and April 30th last 127050u18 were nominated asimmigrants and 1054 of these arrived in the colony, 200 going to Auckland, 204 to Wellington, 165 to Canterbury, and 208 to Otago. Since the initiation of the scheme 73,127 soul? have been nominnted and 30,272 have arrived in the colony.

TAXING THE TOTALIZATOR,

The Hon. Mr Hart has been long im pressed with the idea thit a revonue should be derived from the totalisator on racecourse?, and that consultations should be legalised. Accordingly on Tuesday, ho will move in the Legislative Council, "That in the opinion of this Council, horse-racing and its accessories for revenue purposes be made available for taxation."

THE MEMBER FOR COROMANDEL.

Mr J. C. Cadman took his seat in the House to-day, having arrived from Now Plymouth by last night's train.

AUCKLAND LUNATIC ASYLUM.

Mr Peacock saw Dr. McGregor to-day, and urged him to hasten the construction of an addition to tho Lunatic Asylum at ■Whan. He will see him again on the subject.

IMPERIAL INSTITUTE SUBSCRIPTION.

I understand that the Government will prepare an annual vote extending over a 6cries of years, in aid of the Imperial Instit tute. Of course in the present state of the fin ances of the country, any large contribution is out of the question.

REPRESENTATION AND FINANCE,

The Government will push on the Repre sentation Bill as speedily as possible, and should the Bill be disposed of next week, the Treasurer will at once delivor his financial statement The Opposition, before taking action, are awaiting the delivery of this, bnt I think they will" bo somewhat startled at the magnitude of the retrenchment effected; Without interfering with salaries, Ministers have reduced the expenditure by £100,000. They hold that it is for the House to effect a reduction in the legislative expenditure, and the correspondence that has passed between them and the Speakers of the two Houses will probably bo laid on tbe table,

NOMINATED IMMIGRANTS.

Between May Ist, 18S6, and 30th April laat, 1270 souls were nominated under the nomination system of immigration, and 1054 of these arrived in the Colony. The distribution was — Auckland, 206 ; Taranaki, 39 ; Hawke's Bay, 109 ; Welling ton, 264 ; Marlborouph, 22 ; Nelson, 27 ; Westland, 14; Canterbury, 165; Otago, 20S.

Education Vote. — A circular from the Education Department notified the Board that the balance of the vote of last session for public »choo! building"? (L 316 LOa 3d) had oeer. pA«ed i:r pay ment.

The Temperance Text • Book.— The City School Committee forwarrbd a resolution passed iJ the annual meeting of the lioiueholdsrs objecting ';o the introduction into "school use* o( ill) Tamnerir.cc lesson book, luthoriaed by oh; Board in circular of 28 Ui January. Lknotii of Christmas H:xtdays. — The Mount Eden Committee wrote calling attention to che necessity of curtail ing holidays, and aho to. the better ir- ; ranging for probationer?' ojra.'ni'u'.ions. so that their duties may nofc be neslacced and the school work practically «u«pended through their being-token from their por.s for examination. The committee also sug gested thatsucharrangementsshould bemade that the Mount Eden school should break up for Christmas holiday? on Friday Dec. 15, 1537 and resume work on Monday Jan. 9, 18SS.—Mr Cooper expressed the opinion that the agitation for lessened holidays was not. supported-.-..by .the majority of- parents.' — Mr- -Ooldis-wae "di.«gu = ted with the inconsistency of many head teachers. They talked of long holi days being hecesJSary for rocuperation, and yet were willing to take plenty more work providing it brought them larger salaries. —T^ejcfvsd tc suggest that time for teachers' examinations should not bo altered, but should be in December.

Texdkrs. —J. B. Langley's tender (£4B) was accepted for al deration «i to school buildings at Coroniandel, and J. Pickett's tender (£6 ss) wni« accepted for painting of schoolbuilding at Woodjide. J. Bishop's tender (t'2B l'2s od) wis i:ccpted for school fencing at Kotorua.

Proposed FneE NrauT .Scnopr,.— Fen. Arch'Jcacon Dudley and Rev. H. Bull waited as a deputation from the Minis ters' Association and Anglican Clerical meeting to urge the Board to establish a free night school for neglected boys, as a means of combatting tho evil of larrikinism. Archdeacon Dudley explained that tha resolution was tho. outcome of a con ference of the above bodies upon the subject of our neglected; youth. — The Rev. H. Bull said the. evil was being coped with advantageously by privato effort, but the • Board's assistance was also requisite. Mr Cooper pointed out that Section 86 of the Education Act barred them from taking the' step suggested; Day schools 'wore' tho only free schools contemplated by the Act.' The Board might give the use Of a room, gas, and books.—Mr Goldie did not think the Act had the effect Mr Cooper had stated. The only mistake the ministers had made was in calling the school one for " neglected youth." The lads they wanted to meet especially werefactory lads or youths of any kind. He moved that the request be acceded to.—The motion was passed new. con.

The Members of the Nelson Football Club are notified by advertisement of n meeting to be held this evening in the Prince of Wales Hotel. As the. business is ,of an .important character, all members and intending menv bcrs are requested to attend,

This, of course, can beearily rcmerliccl by trimming them up a bit higher. Cr. Buchanan was in favour of keeping the trees in Grey-street pruned so that they would never get any bigger. TluY of course could be dono, but then the avenues would never present that majestic appearance that -would be attained by pro; perly matured tree?. Any person noticing the tree? in Grey-street must necessarily be struck with the- beautiful effect cf their foiingG in the spring and summer, though of course at the tall of the leaf they become rather a nuisance. Still, for hygienic reasons alone, it i? highly requijiu; thab trees should bo allowed to crow in portions of th; city when tho tratf.c is not sufficientiy great to cause them \o bo in the way of ■;:hicles.
