LANDLORD AND TENANT.

THE AECHBISHOP NOT

HOPEFUL.

(SPECIAL TO PRESS ASSOCIATION)

London, September 30. Archbishop Walsh, who recently suggested that a conference should take place between Irish landlords and tenants, with a view to the adjust ment of their differences on the question of rent, has been invited by the Convention of Landlords, which lately met here, to nominate tenant delegates. The Archbishop, in replying to this communication, states that though the Convention had ap. proved of the proposal in the abstract, he is not sanguine of success, and fears that there must be further clelay be. fore the tenants secure the advantages for which they are agitating.

ADVICE GRATIS.

CHAMBERLAIN LECTURES GLADSTONE.

(SPECIAL TO ASSOCIATION.)

London, September 30. Mr Joseph Chamberlain, addressing a meeting at Birmingham, said that two-fifths of the Irish people were op posed to Home Eule. He maintained that Mr Gladstone was greatly to blame for the present uhsebtled state of Par liament with regard to Irish affairs- He considered that Mr Gladstone, in stead of agitating for Home Rule, slioul'd devote his attention to such questions as the securing of religious equality, local self-government, and economy in the official adminstration of that country.

ACCIDENT.

About noon to-day a horse and spring cart going along the Great North Road, near Avondale, fell over an embankment 8 feefc deep. It contained furniture. Mrs Ellis and two children were in the cart at tho time, who were thrown completely out, the cart rolling down the bank. They had a most miraculous escape. The cart was driven by a man named Rowe. The goods, cart, horses, etc., were greatly damaged, and the horse just escaped, being shaken very much. The trap rolled right over and over Mrs Ellis and children, who yet were not killed.

POLITICAL FINANCIAL REFORM.

Meeting at Newmarket.

The public meeting for the purpose of forming a branch of the Auckland Politica 1 Financial Reform Association was hold at the Newmarket Hall last night, and, not withstanding the web and stormy night, there was a large attendance present. The Mayor of Newmarket was an nounced to take the chair, bub wrote a note saying that, owing to an accident to one of his sons, he had to take him to the doctor's, and feared that he would be unable to be present. The meeting did not begin until near 8 o'clock, when there were over 80 persons assembled from New market and its vicinity. Mr S. S. Osborne was requested to take bhe chair, amidst applause. The Chairman explained that lie had attended as a listener, and had no intention of taking any part of the proceedings, but would nob shrink from performing any share of what was really an important public duty. Hitherto he had nob gone very much into the subjeeb of bhe public expendibure, bub recognised bhab bhe Association had done good service', and was likely yeb to perform more if well supported by bhe pub lic in Auckland and bhroughoub the colony. Now tlie elections were over, he inbended bo devobe his atbenbion particu larly to tho question before them, which he regarded as the paramount duty of every elector in this and other districts to do, and bo bring public opinion to bear on bhe Legislature. Mr Cherry nexb spoke, and related what had been done at the meeting on tbe pre vious Saturday, and that ib was adjourned from bhab evening until bhab night- Mr Cherry supported the motion which had been moved by Mr Burton and seconded by Mr Bubble, thab it was desirable to form a branch of the Auckland Political Financial Reform Association, and concluded amidst cheers.

Mr John Buchanan, chairman of bhe Association, then addressed the meeting at some length, giving a brief resume of what had been done, and of the deter mination of its members to pursue the objects for which jjbhe Association was in augurated to a successful issue. This gentle man carried bhe sympathies of bhe audience and was much cheered ab bhe close and during his address. Mr E. Bell, from Remuera, also supported the motion in an able address.

Mr McLachlan followed, and sbated bhab bhe sole objecb of bhe Association was to effecb rebrenchmenb and more economical administration. Persons of all political parties were members of ib, bobh probec tionisbs and free traders alike.

Mr E. W. Burton followed, and in in broducing his remarks, referred bo a pas sage in the Rev. Mr Gulliver's political sermon delivered ab St. Paul's on Sunday last, in which he had depicted the colony endowed wibh a gigantic system of government far bey und as require ments, as "a child in his grandfather's coab." The speaker proceeded to sbabe bhab on the admission of a Cabineb Minister we were going bo bhe bad ab bhe rabe of £30,000 per month, and bhab if we desired bo be accounbed honest men we musb ab once proceed to adjust our expen dibure in accordance wibh our income. The esbimabes of bhe colony were passed far boo hurriedly when bhe ainounbs involved are considered. Ib was absolutely necessary bhab Parliamenb should at once address itsolf to reducing the growing power of the non effective list, in eluding pensions. Thehabibof voting away large sums of money under bhe head of " Special Acbs of bhe Legislabure '.' was pernicious. He abbacked bhe pension lisb, and ridiculed the alleged inviolabiliby of pensions and of Acbs granting them. He contended that the pension system was per nicious as rendering the civil servant year byyearmoreandmore independenbof his sup posed masters, the Government. He read bhe answers of one of bhe candidates holding an official position, in which the powerless ness of bheadminisbrabion over its officers was commented on wibh severiby. The speaker bhen alluded bo bhe unnecessary expendi ture upon higher education, caused by bhe multiplication of university colleges, in which many of bhe professors' classes were abtended by only one sbudent, whilst the audiences of some professional teachers were so slender as to render them gentlemen at large. He deplored the habib fosbered during bhe lasb sevenbeen years of relying boo much on bhe Governmenb and boo little upon'ourselves, asysbem which he conbended_ was creating greab adminisbrabive waste, together with an enormous debt, and des troying the spirit of individual enterprise. Mr F. Jeune also spoke earnesbly in favour of the motion.

Mr Carr as a resident in bhe neighbour hood considered ib important that the move menb should be well supported. The motion was put and carried without a dis senting voice amidst cheering. A Treasurer and Secrebary was then ap poinbed for bhe Newmarkeb Branch, and a considerable number of persons gave in bheir names as members and paid bheir sub scription bo bhe Acbing Secrebary of bhe As sociation. The proceedings berminated with a cordial vobe ot bhanks bo bhe Chairman.

A social gathering in connection with St. Mary's Cricket Club was held in the Pon sonby Hall lasb evening. The hall was nicely decorabed for bhe occasion, and ib was to be regretted that the attendance was not larger. About twenty couples tripped the light fanbasbic bo excellenb music provided by Messrs Minchin (piano), Morris (corneb), and Sheehan (violin), and a well-arranged programme of 22 dances was gone through.
