desired 'to take the! second reading of : the Representative Bill yesterday, and aIBO that the Opposition had decided nob to. adversely criticise the measure until .it reached committee. It was fully expected thab some members would debate the second reading, and it was even feared stonewalling tactics would be [ resorted to. Extreme astonishment was depicted on every counteuance when it was found thab the Premier was the only speaker, and that the -second reading was carried .without division. The bill is to be committed on Tuesday, but ib will scarcely pass that stage of its progress without dis cussion. Mr Pykeand-fome other members intend to go into the whole question on that occasion, and the Premier will endeavour to have some alteration made in the percentage allowance for sparsely-populated districts. The Premier left it to be inferred from what ho said thab the Government would nob accept any amendmenb in the clauses. The Volunteer Troubles. According to .the Hon. G. McLean, the recent'Volunbeertroubles are due to poli tical appointments in the Defence Deparb merit, and he hopes that experience has shown the Defence Minister the inadvisa biliby of "continuing such appoinbmenbs. The same , genblenmn likens the consoli dated fund to an inexhaustible wizard bag. liiuployineiat of Females. Females employed in millinery and •dressmaking establishments will be pleased to learn .that a bill inbroduced bo prevent employers from depriving them of ■their -Saturday half - holiday, by compelling them to go into the shop as sales women, .has passed its second reading with out division,' and is pretty certain to get through,the Lowor LJou.se. 1b was shelved lasb y,ear. in the Legislative . Council, bub • the-' Government influence " will doubtless secure its safe passage ■through that -Chamber tbis-session. It also compels .shopkeepers to provide seats for saleswomen.

Mr. Levosbam feared that hardship would be inflicted on young men of 17 and JS, and also on their employers, if they were allowed to work on Saturday afternoon. Before "the second pending wan agreed to, Ijhe:Premier said he would not object to a clause, providing there was already a holi day in-the week, -that there should be no further holiday on Saturday. .Free Passes- The directors of the Manawatu Railway Company have granted members of the Legislature a. free pass- dining the session of Parliament. Hon. members enjoy a similar privilege on Government lined of railway at all seasons, The £1,000 UoHiatton. The Press Association representative, at Wellington recently credited the Hon. G. McLean with donating £1,000 to the Imper ial Institute. That gentleman has informed the.Legislative Council that the. donor was not himself, but Mr John McLean, of Ked castle, a gentleman who is constantly doing acts of private kindness, a true friend of tho colony. Hβ (the speaker) could not allbrd such gift,, but be would give a small moiety cheerfully. • ';■[ ! Hours of i'oHiiJs:.

The\ proposal to extend the hour of polling till 7 o'clock was warmly discussed when the Regulation of .Elections Bill came up for second -reading. t Messrs Hamlin, Fergus, Buchanan, and Brvco opposed the extension, and Messrs Downie Stewart, F. IT. FraseY, arid'Barron supported it. The Premier said the bill would enable registrars to strike the names qf persons who had lex't the district off the roll, but he could not do so till pgst-cards had been sent to the elec tors in questioimnd- returned through- the Post'Oilibe as " not known." A man could not be deprived of his vote unless registered elsewhere. Thff'opposition to fseven o'clock polling was entirely from country members, who said the houra of polling were already too long in the country. Payment to BSrs Fraser. The report which was current in Auck land recently, and which, gave rise to some talk at the time, proves, to Lave had sub stantial foundation, as the following will show :—Replying to a question put by Mr Rolleston in the Hcusq ..yesterday afternoon, Mr Ballance said the sum of L 1,932 had been paid £0 Mrs Fraser, wife of Colonel Fraser, member of the House; It was paid in connection with tho survey of cercsi& lands, and the amount paid wae the award-of the Chief Judge of the Native I>srid3 Court and Mr Cooper, Kaval and Military Grants- The following are the names, of Auckland persons who received grants under the 'Naval and Militaiy Settlors and Volunteers Act: James Agnew, Thawes, .L3O; Daniel Allan, Waketield-sbreet, L3O-; H.

The Representation Bill-Second

Heading Carried

Tlie second reading of the Representa tion Bill was passed without division. The bill was moved in tho House yesterday afternoon by Sir Robert Stout. PIo said that the only difference in the present bill from the measure of last year was that percentage was allowed in favour of country districts, while the margin had been fixed at 500, the commissioners having discretion in allowing a margin. The bill attempted to reliev3 Parliament of tho onus of adjust ing representation, Tho principle was not new, having been proposed in the House many years ago, -while in 1879 Sir George Grey suggested a Board. When the House caino to appoint tho three members to act in conjunction with the Surveyor- General and Controller-General and the Board, he bopsd care would be taken to appoint men , who were above suspicion. In dealing with the question of representation, personally he would not be in favour of a reduction of members beyond a few. He would ■ not vote for limiting the number to less than 90, including Maori members. His own feelings wero in favour of amalgamation of city constituen cies, but this was an open question. Clause 3, providing for the percentage to be added for country districts, would be tho Council's question on the bill, and if passed at all tho Government -would require it to be passed in that form. The percentage would mean an increase to the nominal, return of the population of 18,000. The difference between the two Islands would be only 400, but if the percentage was increased it would give considerable advan tage' to the South Island population. This was the principle at the root of the bill. If they applied the principle of property values, the North Island would get de creased instead of increased representation. Sir Robert urged the House to consent to the second reading of the bill. ISTo other member rose to speak to the bill, and the Speaker put the question for the second reading. There was a chorus of " ayes," while there.was one solitary " no' from Mr' Hursthouse. The Speaker an nounced that the ayes, had it. "The noes have it," cried Mr Hursthouso, and the boll having rung the voices were taken a second time, Mr Hursthouse was a<*ain the only " no," and this time he was satisfied and did not challenge the Speaker's ruling, consequently a division was not taken". The second reading, was passed, and the committal of the bill was set down for Tuesday. ' " ' ' „ Mr Guinness, one of the West Coast members who had credit for an intention to stonewall, wished to explain why ho had given a silent vote, but tho Speaker ruled that he. was too late, and the House rose before five o'clock.

A Veteran Speaks.

Glebe, Lyndhubst St. (Sydney), N.S.W., March 20th, 1880.— This is to certify that I have been suffering for the past ten years with liver and kidney disease, and have been attended by several medical men of 'Sydney, but always had a relapse of the same complaint —pains in small of my back, cramps in my limbs, and carbuncles on different parts of my body, cold feet, and finally became powerless in the left side, which was diagnosed as paralysis. I com menced the use of Warner's safe cure, taking in all seven bottles. The pains have all left me, I can work as well as ever, and am in better health now than I , have been for years. My age is 71 years.— David Thomas.
