Sir George Grey gave proof at the City Hall last night that,he has lost none of his old fire. The address was one of the most powerful of the many orations we have had the pleasure of listening to from tlie member for Auck land East. It is very difficult for any man to expound exhaustively so many topics as were touched in this address, but so far as time permitted him. to go be handled his subjects, lucidly and defended his position so eloquently as to carry the judgment "as well as the sympathies'of the great majority of his liearers with hiiiij even when'they .had come prejudiced against his views. .The predominant feature of .this ad dress is its boldness^ There was no hesitation or equivocation. In assail ing the Government on their Village Settlement scheme, and in dealing with the subject of protection to local in dustry, the speaker was aware that he toucheduponsubjectsaboutwhichstrong views prevailed, but ho discussed both in a manner that commanded the re spect even of those hearers who still differed from his opinions. ' With regard to the expenditure on Village Settlements, there can be no doubt at all that the' Government committed a very grave error in their concealment of the expenditure from the House. Nothing is more dangerous to the liberties and good government of a country than that a Ministry should be allowed to incur large financial ob ligations without the express authority of Parliament. The first error the Government made—and we pointed it ,out at.the time—was in not asking for a larger vote than. in the previous ' session to1 carry then scheme into effect.' We1' are confi dent that the House would not have refused;it.. The; second error was in leaving it .for private members to extract from them by motions, infor mation relative to the 'operations in connection with this scheme instead of coming-frankly fonyard with a.^state ment of what had been done. The circumstances under which the expen diturewas .incurred were exceptional, and justified the action of the Govern ment; we also believe.that the money has been well-spent and was a greatboon to the people; nevertheless the manner in which Parliament was treated exposed .the'1 Ministry- to criticism Sir George Grey's attack—and what he seated with regard to the attitude of the Other Auckland members is borne out fey Hansard—did liot-go;beyond such legitimate criticism as it is the duty of°an,; Opposition to. apply to^so important; an adjwWSfrativeact,vJNQ,

member, either by speech or motion, ha 3 assailed the policy of placing people on the' land under regulations akin to those, which havebeen the means of settling the Village Settlement blocks. Although the Government were in a minority, and some Southern members were eager to attack them on this ques tion, they were prevented by the atti tude of the Auckland members. Any effort to prejudice our representatives on this question, therefore, must fail; and if it be attempted its object can only be to obscure the question whether the regulations under which these set tlers arc placed on the land are sound, and whether the money for the purpose was appropriated in the right way. As to the former question, it is pretty certain, from remarks made by Mr John Lundon, the indefatigable Go vernment agent in the matter, that, like the bulk of his countrymen, he has no great love of rent, and that he at least, believes the village holdings will ultimately be converted into free holds. To that conclusion we demur. With Sir George Grey's objections to a rack-rent and to fixing the occupants for ever to the soil, we agree. These regulations must, be amended. But we think the leasehold system, with, fixity of tenure, will succeed—at any rate it deserves a fair trial. Tins is actually the principle of Sir George Grey's own bill for buying . back and setting the large estates, and it is a sound one. * The extent to which Sir George Grey would go with tariff assistance to local industry was not very fully ex plained. He concurred, however, with the principle acknowledged by John Stuart Mill, that in young countries State aid to struggling industries is justifiable. He pointed out, however, what everyone who looks into the ques tion mustbe struck with, that Protection is no remedy for poverty and dull times. In the protected countries of the continent the workmen toil longer for much poorer pay than they do in England, and even in America the hours are longer than in England, and the pay, estimated in proportion to the cost of living, is no better. These are facts, and they plainly teach that people who believe that Protection is a permanent remedy for depression are deceiving themselves and will be doomed to disappointment. Protective assistance to our local industries is, however, a specific for some symptoms of the malady which the colony is now suffering. If judiciously applied, it will enable us to absorb our surplus labour and deliver us from our slavish dependence upon borrowed money for the means of furnishing our population with work. For these reasons we think it is not only justifiable on the grounds ad mitted by Mill, but it is abso lutely necessary. It is no longer a matter of choice—we must have it. In that and an extended system of settlement upon the land, with econo mical government, wesee the only avail able remedies for New Zealand's over done condition,and weshouldhave gladly heard the member for Auckland East speak more strongly than he did in favour of Protection to local industry. In so far as his remarks may be taken as a protest against indiscriminate tariff burdens upon the people, however, they will commend themselves to Protectionists and Free Traders equally. Summed up, Sir George Grey's re medies for the depression are these: Retrenchment in public expenditure, and, as a means to this end, reduction of the number of members of the House and of the Ministry; simplifica tion of our cumbrous Civil Service; aiid an extended system of settle ment upon the land. These embody, we believe, the true conditions under which the people of New Zealand should proceed to build up the nation. Sir George Grey, while advocating proper economy in the administration of the system of education, put in .a timely word for the maintenance in a state of perfect effici ency of that magnificent blessing to the people of the colony. There is no de partment in which the intelligent working-man can see such a. direct benefit to himself. It levels all ranks, and puts his children on the same footing as the chil-' dren of the richest in the land. The populace should look very suspiciously upon "the friends" who want to materially impair the efficiency of our public schools. There is no need for measures of panic. Like other coun tries, we are getting our taste of ■' hard time«," but our condition is by no means -critical. We have a splendid foundation to build upon, and only re quire intelligent, industrious, and honest builders.

The Skating Rink,as announced, w,ill be opened for the season at the City Hall .this evening. The management have purchased 100 new skates, which can be hired nightly for the charge of one shilling; or visitors can bring their own. A special meeting of the Trades and Labour Council was held in Robson's Rooms yesterday evening, at which Messrs W. Duncan and Holloway were present as dele gates from the Radical League, with the object of trying to arrange a common plat form for the coming election. Both dele gates spoke at some length on ■ the subject, as did also many members of the Council. It' is probable the lines laid down by the Radical League will ultimately be adopted as the political •platform of the Council, but in deference to many of the members of the Council v/ho were absent its final adoption was post poned till a future meeting, when_ they will have an opportunity to take part in the dis cussion upon it.

The advertised meeting of the Royal Irish Rifles took place last evening. Lieutenant Paterson occupied the chair. The election of Captain was left over till next meeting.

Mr W. V. Mill ton, whose death at Christchurch from typhoid fever was noti fied by a telegram in our Thursday's issue, was a member of the legal firm of Struthers, William and Millton, and occupied for many years past a leading position among amateur athletes of Canterbury. He was Secretory of the Canterbury Rugby Union, captain of the New Zealand Representative Foot ball Team, which made such a triumphal progress through New South Wales several years back, and captain of the Canterbury Cricket Eleven, which visited Auckland twice during recent years. He will be re membered here for the prolonged stand he made at the wickets against our best bowlers. His death is a great loss to Canterbury, both on the cricket and foot ball fields. . .

If my case is to be taken as a sample of what the Committee require, there would be very little left for exhibition, as.it is impossible to manufacture almost, anything without a certain amount of imported hiaterial. I con sider I have been most unfairly dealt with. —Yours, &c., Charles^ Smith, perambula tor manufacturer, Victoria-street.

We have much pleasure in publishing, for general information the following extract from the " London Gazette ", of 6th May last:—"War Office, May 6th.—The Nor thumberland Fusiliers: Lieut.-Gen. and Hon. G. J. H. Laye, C.8., to,be colonel, vice. Gen. W. L., Earl of Longford, G.C.8., deceased." _ The old ; soldiers, of the 58th. Regiment will, no doubt, be much pleased at this announcement, as General Laye' served for years in.that corps, and com manded the troops when Wanganui wasat-' tacked in the war of 1846-7. On the ap prehension of the murderers of the Gilfillan family he tried them , by court martial—an assistant surgeon and a commissariat officer, being, the members and a lieutenant the president. The prisoners were sentenced to death. Captain Laye approved of,the sentence and immediately carried it into effect (respiting a boy), and then forwarded the proceedings of the court martial to Auckland for approval. This short and Jed burgh act finished the war in that district, and to this day the old natives in Wanga nui talk of this distinguished, officer. The House of Commons had, however, to pass an Act of Indemnity to cover him for this illegal proceeding, and he received at the same time the thanks of the House for his conduct on the^ occasion, and promotion to the rank of major in the army. A most enjoyable social re-union was held last night in St Thomas's Schoolroom, Union-street, in honour of Her Majesty's Jubilee. The room presented a very attrac tive and artistic appearance; the back of the stage or platform being covered with a snow scene, curtains adorned the sides,'red baize framed in evergreens bordered the front, and a large heraldic shield bearing a crown and V.R. occupied a prominent position on top of the stage, ■ which was further adorned by pots of plants, and a beautiful photo of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, kindly lent by the Rev. Mr Dußieu. Baskets of ferns were sus pended from the roof, and the room was lighted by means of candles placed in mirror j sconces, candlesticks, etc., and by Chinese lanterns. The programme consisted1 of songs and dancing, the vocalists being Miss F. Ode, Mr Edgar Ward, MrCarr and others. Refreshments were handed round during the evening: The large gathering of people tftxed the capacities .of'tno roonig to their utmost.'The playing of the National Anthem by Mr Adams (violin) and .Mr J, Edwards (piano)'brought; a very pleasant evening to a close. ! ! . . > . *
