SIR JULIUS VOGEL AND MR ORMOND.

A Breeze iii the Mouse.

(BY TELEGRAPH, PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER.)

Wellington, this day. The proceedings in the House yesterday af ternoon were enlivened by a very warm dis cussion between the Colonial Treasurer and <.Mr Ormond, arising oub of a personal ex planation made by the former respecting his appointment a3 a member of the Select .jCominitteo which sat last session re Govern ment Insurance matters. Fortunately, the firmnoss of the Speaker in seeing that the forms of the House are strictly observed prevents that indulgence in unparlia mentary language which characterises the proceedings of some other colonial larlia 'ments.and:while neither Sir Julius Vogolnor the member for Napier yesterday afternoon dared give the other the lie direct, there was some uncommonly close sailing to that point, and the retort courteous was cer ■'tainly given. The broozo lusted the greater part of the hour, and the opinion among mem bers was that Sir J. Vogel was impolitic in 'bringing up the matter. In order that my readers may judge for themselves a3 to ,the merits of the dispute, I send you a 'tolerably full report of the discussion, Tho Colonial Treasurer having pro forma moved tho adjournment of tho House, modo a personal explanation. He had, ho said, on a former occasion stated that he in tended to reply to remarks Mr Ormond had made about him, but he waited,as he said he would, for them to appear in Hansard. Mr Ormond said in Napier, substantially, what he (the speaker) was about now to complain of. He took exception to the statement then, and intended, had ho been in better health, to have gone to Napier to take the hon. member to task there. However, the hon. member had given him an opportunity of deal- Sng wifch fcho matter in the House, by repeating the statement. Tho hon. gentle man said in effect that ho had submitted jfche names of a committeo he moved for in connection with the Government Insurance Association to tho chairman of tho Associa tion, namely, tho Colonial Treasurer. Then he said the Treasurer met him by saying :"• I must bo on that Committee; the Primo Minister must be there also." Tho hon. said he replied " Oh, but we aro 'going to try you," and went on to say, " I am glad to say that the Prime Minister i himself at once saw tho inconsistency :,of such a proposal, and declined to have anything to do with it." Sir .Julius.Vogel ■ went on to say thathegavothe moat emphatic contradiction to theso statements that the ■forms of tho House would allow. Mr Ormond's statements were wholly and absolutely incorrect. He would sfcato what had happened. Somo hon. member, ho believed it was Mr Ormond himself, came to him, during tho progress of business in the House, and asked whether, ho would approve of tho names of tho Committee which ho had selected to inquiro into tho administration of the Government Insurance Association. He (the Treasurer) pointed oub that there were one or two gentle men named in tho Committee who were notoriously bitter opponents of his, and lie said further that, as the Association was under his control, why had he not been •asked to sib upon the Committee ? The reply was, " Ob, if you go upon it we shall "have to take Fisher, and wo don't want that" (shrugging his shoulders). He (the Treasurer) then suggested that the Premier should go upon it, and the Premier said, "I cannot go on tho case, I am director of another Insurance Association." That was exactly what took place. The hon. member ithen took off the names objected to and the Committee was formed. Was it likely that he would let the hon. member come and tell him " they were going to try him?" and if the hon. member had that idea he had acted scandalously, for what was the course of that Committeo? If he was,on his trial before a jury would it nob have been right that the accusations against him should first have been made? Immediately after Mr Luckie had been examined, lie (Sir J. Vogel )was called. Sir Julius detailed the course pursued by the Committee in calling evidence, and said that with considerable difficulty he persuaded the hon. member to allow the other members of the Board to reply after Messrs Shannon and Fisher to statements which reflected on themselves and himself, and that he himself might be allowed to make a written statement. All he would say was that if he was on his trial the hon. member had acted In the matter in a scandalous manner, such as.it would not be fit to try a dog in—let alone a man. A few days after tho Committee sat Mr Douglas McLean, of Hawke's Bay, sent him down a copy of a column of matter which appeared in one of the newspapers, said to belong or to be con trolled by the hon. member. That _ was written by a correspondent from Hastings, which town was part of the Heretainga Block, and the grievance was .that-the In surance Department had nob considered ib desirable to lend a large loan to tho town because legal proceedings were current as to the title of that block. The article suggested that the Insurance Association should be boycotted, and he did not know what else, in consequence of ■t"his awful outrage. . When In saw this ' paper be went to Captain Russell, member for Hawke's Bay,whom everyone knew they could trust as a gentleman, and said it was an extraordinary thing that Mr .Ormond was saturated with ideas of this kind, and asked him whether, since the hon. member had moved for the Committee to make an impartial investigation into the Government Insurance Association, he thought he, could trust him to conduct it impartially, or was it worth his-while, to bring the matter before the House ? Captain Russell said, " I think you can trust him," and he did hob, therefore, bring the matter before the House. The Treasurer said ho would further say, in conclusion, thab before Mr Ormond indulged in that system of accusa tion and mud-throwing he .was so fond of he would do well to remember that in the pages, of "Hansard" there were distiuct charges against \, him which he would not meet, but walked out of the House when they were spoken of —that he had.abused his public position for his own private ends, and that he had better, before he did any further mud throwing,'try to clear himself. The Premier corroborated the Treasurer's statement so far as concerned Mr Ormond submitting the names'to him. "Mr Ormond said he believed he went by invitation bo submit the names, and though he' did '. riot *. .remember the names he believed the gentlemen he named were im partial and had no personal feeling against him. He certainly told the Treasurer they were going to try him. The Treasurer asked Mr Tole whether he would Be on the Committee. Mr Tole did not refuse. He (Mr Ormond) did not make any mention 6f . Mr Fisher,: though he believed thab gentle man was on the original Committee. Having Crfiftt' respect for that gentleman, he .would Be the last person to treat him with the ifedlgnity stated. He repeated that he.told I the Treasurer it would be improper for him ~to: be on the Committee because '-they /■were going to try him." As to Sir Julius ,Vogers statement that he had nob reason able opportunities to state his case, the hon. gentleman was also reflecting on other members of the Committee. He challenged members of the Committee ,tp say whether he did anything improper, or failed to give the Treasnrer every opportunity to make good his case.r The hon. .-gentleman ■wished to, make ,a final statement, and • in the end the Committee' agreed to i that course; As to the newspaper the hop. I |J gentleman m& belonged/tohjm,Qr ffJW i[m.d,er

his control, thab statement was totally jn correct Hehad no interest in anynewspaper n thTs counfry, and hud never exercised the smallest control, or-attempted to do so, over any newspaper in the colony. He repudiated the statemenb as absolutely contrary to fact. He never saw the article £ question. Tho lion, gentleman's israinst him (Mr Ormond) was absolutely aid totaU? incorrect, but much stronger, farms should be used. He defied him to SE^thS to ever abused his public posi; Son and ho wished the hon. gentleman had'the same record. The hon. gentleman was not one who could stand up in the House and say he was in that position Considering what he did say w his speech at Napier* tho matter mentioned was a very small one. Tho hon gentleman did not refor to the other allegations made in that speech, nor. refer to the statement that the Government was not one that could show an untainted record. > He (Mr Ormond) put on record there the 3udgment of the House with regard to the hon. gentleman's conduct. What was the find ing of the House with respect to the district railways, when public money was wrongly given away by tho sanction and connivance of that hon. gentleman ? That House unani mously regretted the transaction referred to as calculated jbo, seriously affect and impugn the integrity of any gentleman connected with it, and that it was calculated to give rise to scandal. No one could point to him (Mr Ormond) as having been guilty of such conduct, as that, ■ Captain Sutter said that Mr Ormond had informed him at the time that ho had told the Treasurer that they were going to " try him." ~ ~ ~ : ... , Tho Treasurer, replying, said he believed that hon. members who had known him for years would beliovo that he was utterly incapable of telling an untruth to the House. He reiterated tho 'state ment with reference to tho Committee. As to tho^ purchaso of district railways debentures/ he had been unfairly treated by the Committee that sat on that question, inasmuch as ho had not been allowed to know the evidence before the Committee to reply to it. When hogave his evidence, he was not aware of the existence of a letter subsequently produced. Members, he pointed out, had private business of their own which they attended to in Wellington. Some of them would not come to Wellington otherwise. He claimed that in this in stance ho hud acted in the interests of tho country when ho bought the deben tures. Ho accused Mr Ormond of making statements against him which could only proceed from a malignant and vindiotivo mind. He had been asked why it was that tho hon. member had persecuted him as ho had clono for tho last throo years. It had been sug gested that it was because- the hon. gentlo lnun was aggrieved that he was not sent for when this Parliament first mot. When he (the Treasurer) formed ft Government, ho was asked by some of the hon. member's friends whether Mr Ormond could be Premier, and he said "Certainly not." Tho matter then dropped.

"SIGHTS AND SCENES OF LONDON."

An appreciative audience gathered in the City Hall last evening to listen to the popu lar lecturer, Major Dane, describing tho " Sights and Scenes of London." The Rev. W. Tebbs accompanied Major. Dane on to the platform, and briefly introduced the lecturer. Ho expressed regrob thab, owing to sickness iji the family, His Worship the Mayor had beeri. unable to preside at the meeting. Mr Tebtis also intimated that the next meeting of the Athenieum, under whose auspices thp^lecture-vvasdelivered, would be h,eld in Robson'a Dining-rooms, when the question would be discussed as to whether the .labile .'Wor]<s Policy of tho prosent Government had been conducive to tho interests of New, Zealand.,

Major Dane* on coming forward, woe re ceived with applause. He said ifc seemed like carrying coal to Newoaetle to lecture before an "English audience upon the subject he had chosen for that nighfe. Still, as thpy went on, it might not prove uninteresting. London must ever bo the wonder of the world. It was unrivalled and unequalled. Its magnitude appalled them n& they approached it, and tigureß were nob equal to the task of discovering its greatness.1 London was really a great world in ibßolf. They might begin at its northern side and ride 40 miles and still be within this great city. It was peopled by all nations of the world. The work of describing such a great city was truly appalling. Major Dane then quoted figures and similes to convoy an idea of the size of the metropolis of the world. He referred to the immensity of the drink traffic carried on in London. In one .year- alone 25,000 persons were arrested for drunkenness. He next referred to the underground railway in a graphic manner. In Bpeaking.of the poverty and crime of London, the speaker exhibited powers of description,that astonished the. audience: He mentioned that there were 500,000 juvenile offenders in that city; and every year 100,000 juveniles were turned back from penal institutions to again prey upon the public; He considered that the London beggar was an institution in him self. He was continually changing his .spota., :Soraetimes he was without a foot, at another place without a hand, and often struck by lightning," but never lkiled.^ The speaker then devoted considerable time to describing the varieties of low characters that are to be met with in London. Some of these descriptions were 'amusing, others were affecting, whilo persons who had drifted down from higher life, through the curse of, drunkenness, were re ferred^ to in a feeling manner. While speaking upon outcast London, Major Dane displayed great powers. As he spoke of the* erring ones who had fallen in a mo ment of weakness, his pathos excited the emotions of many of the audience. . Ho next dealt with the various ; institutions that were .in-operation in London for the good of, the people:; The HosrJital'a; Ragged Schools, and Boot Black Prigadek were duly noticed. It. soenwl incredible, that in 30 years, nine of these bootblack brigades had earned £1,000,000; jail -the •-results of tho penny fees in answer- to the cries of " Shine your boots, sir?" k The lecturer also dwelt for a littlb while' upon the parish system, and caused amusement by his description of the English Parish. Beadle. In grand old England he had found that public rights were greater than private corpora tions." In his idea London fog beat any thing. It even pub out the light of day, and the gas had to: be "lib. Fortunately, there were Bome,fine parks to which they might go when bhe sun came out, to get a breath of "fresh air. "Here they could study the weal til and nobility of that great realm. London was the grand university in which they could study everything from the highest to the. lowest. Kew Gardens, Syderiham Palace,, the; .British Museum, and Trafalgar Square were next des cribed. , in, grand 'language. , Then. there 4' was" 'Downing-street, where 'sab, those men^r representatives of the realm';' whose slightest) bveafii made' the whole world .tremble and listen. Westminster Palace, was also preferred bo in glowing terms. The iceremopy of. bhe Queen open ing Parliament was graphically described. The House.of Lords he,considered the most magnificent piece of civic architecture in the, world. ; It .almost idefied description.: Here. they. ea,w assembled the .power and will of this mightys-empire. Here they had .Church and State handed down through, ages.' • Beyond*tho bar sto'6d! the' whole Empire, for, that body of. men were the- Corriihoners of England—'the representa-' tiveß of the; millions that formed-the Empire, In. d.eßoribine Westminster Hall;: ;.t>feewea{ser-.teferreatoließianyjntier§gbing

scones that had occurred there, and said that thinking of those past scenes was enough to thrill all those who had Englfsh blood in their veins. Old London, &? guilds, and Lord Mayor were also dealt wh& It was a kingdom within itself-in Jact., a kingdom within a kingdom. This was the'centre of the Kingdom of England. Therd stood the Tower, that most won deiful of wonderful buildings. It was rich in it was rich in wealth, bub it' would requi^ a week of evenines to reveal its wonders and re rordT Neai- by was the Mint, continually g°r lindin^or fc » ythe wherewithal for the insatiable maW of commerce. Nob for. away stood Sb E»™l 8» wlnch is erected on SJlWthotSipleof Diana From the dome of St. Paul's ok' a sunny day might be seen the grandest panorama in the word. A city of S7OO square mil^>th a popuLv tion of 5,139,166, according to the last census - half as many tfore than the population of the whole of Australia. In coming down from tho domed St. Pauls they might lay their hand upon 6fce brown breast of old Ben. But let it b? done reverently, for its notes wero .nevei heard unless a King, a Prince, or 1 r?me Minister was dying. Yes, lob thorn lay thS« hands reverently upon old Bon, and if they had a grain of American blood in their veins lot them touch it with even more reverence still. For when after eighty long clays and nights of pain, aftor the Widow Queen" of England had daily whispered her sympathy across S,wu miles of sea to tho wife of President (?ar field, when after that long time tho wires brought the news that Garfielcl was dead, then it was that the tongue of Big Bon tolled forth the news to tho world, and tho millions of England wero plunged in grief. Yos, lot them touch that bell reverently, for tho nation had spoken their sympathy that night, when old Ben tolled out lte notes. (Applause.) Major Dane next pro ceeded to describe tho Old Lady of Threadncedlc-streot, with her guard of honour, and thousand clerks. There could bo seen piles of gold and hies upon files of notes. They were simply " We promise to pay," and .that was all the world asked from there. There might be seen a cheque for L 1.000,000 JsepJ under a glass case. Not a bad thing to liavo in your waistcoat pockot. With deposits amounting to £32,000,000, a reserve of L 25,000,000, and a circulation of L 15.500.000, tho Bank of Englund was really the great electrical machine which moved the world. It was the pulse of tho world, tho great contro of wealth and gold. All through thisfamous street were various banking institutions and exchanges. It was the real centre of tho financial world. There sat the men who told kings when they might go to war, and when they might not. London was also the contro of intelligence. In the 16th century men of intellect had flocked to London from all over tho world, and for 200 years the result of their genius had radiated all over the world. There it was that the movement had origin ated which resulted in tho abolition of slavery all over the world. (Applause.) From hero it was that men and women all over the world had learned of liborty and freedom of thought. (Applause.) Hero had been sung the songs of^ some of tho greatest poets, and from thfs centre had boon despatched religious teachers who had spread over all climes. Having led his audience up to this point, the lecturer con cluded by asking all present to join in sing ing " God Save the Queen." This was en thusiastically responded to, and Major Dane resumed his seat amidst prolonged ap plauso. , , The Rev. Mr Tobba :camo forward, and said that ho thought it only right that they should not part without telling to Major Dane how deeply they felt the expressions which he had given utterance to, with regard to the mother countpy" (applause), and also to assure him that our feelings to the daughter countrywhioh be represented were fully reciprocated by themselves. (Applause.) Major Dano had told him that throughout tho whole world, as far as he I had travelled, ho could soo a growing ten dency towards a grand confederation of English-speaking people, and then would come, and not till then, the reign of Uni versarPeaco. When our American cousins wero united with England and her depen dencies, there would do no power existent upon the earth which would be able to say them nay. (Applause.) This was the first time that Major Dane had addressed an Auckland audience upon such a subject, but he hoped sinceroly that it would not be the last by any means. Major Dane, in reply, said that perhaps some people might think that ho had trimmed his lecture to suit an English audience, but he cbuld aßsure them that i* was not so. He had spoken that lecture to them' just as he had been speaking it in his own country for the last 15 years, excepting some few matters of detail, which, to an English audience, would have become tedious. He then thanked the audience for the kindly feeling exhibited, and tho meet ing terminated. Major Dano ia undoubtedly one of the most interesting lecturers that have visited this city for many yeara. '• He" holds his audionce spell-bound by his wonderful powers of description. It is to be hoped that yet another address may bo delivered by Major Dane ere he leaves our city.

PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY.

£100 v. 13s 6d.

Tub Waterbury Watch will keep mean fcime or apparent time, Greenwich or Hono- X Sidereal or Solar; in fact any tune except tram time, which passes all under standing.

Why should I give £5 or £10 for a watch bhat has to be perpetually undergoing re pairs, and abthe best of times cannot be re lied oh, when I can buy a perfectly reliable, stong, and handsome Waterbury Watch tor 13s 6d I

Tho Waterbury Watch is cheap because ib contains less mechanism than any other, and can be repaired at less cost. Bub it goes 60 minutes to tho hour regularly all the time ; that's why the factory has to be enlarged and the agencies extended.

" As far as the Waterbury 18 concerned, I can givo you my bostimonial in a few words. The longer I wear the watch the better I like ib. It is always true to time."— Edward Kennedy, Manager Berrima Polliery.

Parenbs, beach your children to be m time. As soon as your boy can read the thno of day, givo him a watch ; teach him how to tako care of it and always be in time. No need to buy a costly one. The Waterbury ie the very best watch for the purpose, and will always keep the boy on time.

Thto Waterbury Watch Company don't claim ito give you an 18-carat Gold Chrono meter nvith your name engraved on it, and a Gold Chain to hang it on, for 13s 6d. But they do claim bo give you a strong, accurate, durable timekeeper for the money, and don't you forget it.

The Wafcerbury Watch is cheap, simple, strong, durable, massive, and exact. _ The case is plain nickel, wearing equal bo silver, and tho movemenb is guaranteed to keep time, if used with ordinary care, equal to the best Enclish watches, and better than any of the cheap ones.

The Waterbury would nob bo bhe cheapest watch in tho world if ib could not be re paired cheaply when required. The Com pany undertakes this responsibility ab a nominal cost, never exceeding 2s 6d.

The Waterbury Watch is a keyless stem winder, unequalled in 'the world for ac curacy, reliability, and the strength and beauty of its finish. Ib is sold everywhere for 13s 6d.
