An influential deputation, consisting .of 100 Tory members, has waited on Mr Goschen, aßking him, in view of tho do preesion in tho farming interests', to make prnvision in the forthcoming budget for granting relief to those following agricul tural {Jurßuits. In reply, Mr Goschen said It was hie opinioh that the time had arrived when it was desirable to review the incidence of taxation generally throughout the tfnite'd Ki»gdoni, not witli tho object of remitting any the taxes, But with a view to bring about todistribulion, bo that personal property should be made to contribute more than present aid.

London, March 22. The intention of the Government to pass a bill For the suppression of crime in Ire land has been discussed by the London Fress. It is expected that a lively debate will ensue, and that the bill will mebt with

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

(FBOM OCB SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT )

London, February 4th. BUSINESS BEFORE PARLIAMENT. The debate on the addreeß dragged mono tonoußly through the last week, unrelieved by any notable incident. Several new memberß ventured on their maiden speeches, and one at least achieved conspicuous sue cesa. This waa Mr Cuninghame Graham, tberaemberfor Lanarkshire, a witof the Wil fredLawson type, whomanaged to excite some hearty laughs by his sallies, but was cor dially cheered when ha Bat down. Another new member met with a very diffeient sort of reception. This worthy having gradu ated in the Kensington Parliament, began confidently and fluently. There was a bumptious "I mean to be heard" air about him, however, which grated on the House and aggravated itß temper. Hon. members grew inattentive and conver sational, and when the debutant sat down after speaking for nearly half-anhour, there was hardly any applause. This failure by one from whom great things had been ox pected bae created considerable surprise, es pecially in South Kensington. Mo doubt the training oi an amateur Parliament is useful in a way, but it by no means follows that because a man with a fluent tongue and an assertive manner managed to lead one of them, that he will achieve suc cess in the House of Commons itself. Lord Randolph Churchill did not, it eeems evident, achieve much by his explanation. Many thought he would have a strong, if limited, part} at his back before the first week of the session was over, but, bar two insignificant new members, none of the Conservatives evidence any desire to sit at his feet. One thing, however, appears cer tain : he won't be content with his present unsatisfactory position long.

"KUDDYBOBE,

The title of the latest Savoy success is, cay the pious and fastidious folk, un ploasantly suggestive. An over-bold stranger has even ventured to write to tho great Gilbert himself and remonstrate. " Kuddygore," he complains, "practically signifies tho same as bloody goro.' " Not at all," replied Mr Gilbert, "tho two ideas aro ontiroly distinct; as, for oxamploi if I was to refer to your ' ruddy cheek,' the ex pression would convoy an entiroly different moaning to what I coneidor describes tho liberty you took in writing to ma.1'

MORE SCANDALS.

The society papers aro suffering from an attack of divorce on the brain. If half of the rumours afloat wore correct, there Would be " sensations " onough and to spare dur ing tho coming spring. I fancy, though, they all refer to, the same case. An cxpo«c of the particular ciroumatauces has been ex pected again and again, but on each occa sion, just aa law proceedings seemed inevit able, family friends stepped in and patched up a reconciliation. It is most sincerely to bo hoped a public Scandal can now be avoided, for it , would ruin the public career, .and blast the reputation of a popular officer in the navy. The "lady in the Baee, !l too, happens to be a ooctal star of the fi.rat magnitude Altogether, the Campbell opd Dilke, cashes will have to hide their diminished beads if this social catas trophe- ever comes to Court. B.y-the way, I hear that " poor dear Mrs (prow ford" has found a Champion in "Otiida," who means to ma&e her the heroine of her next three-volume "shocker." Mdlle. do la Ramco looks upon marriage as an effete and worn-out institution. In conversation with a friend at the Langhairi Hotel the orher day, she remarked : " People of in tellect are above all law, Marriage iB only suitable for the lower classes." So, indeed) recent events Would lead us to believe.

The New Hebrides- Sir I*. Dillon Boll', Apceiit-cJencval for t\vew Zealand, is understood to be anxious that tlie trup condition of the Now Hebrides question Bhould be properly brought before tho Imperial Ponferenco. The differences Which havchitherto existed between Victoria and New South .Wales on thig subject, and which have been so ilotrlmental to the settlement of the question by Franco and England, should, in his opinion, bo reconciled when tho matter was being considered fully by all tho colonial delegates. Those differences cohsfcitUtb Ihh greatest ob staclo tp the final settlement of the cilSc. Unless t>re colonies, which aro the, parties chiefly interested, arc ngrcod ■ upon : a plan for effecting a .settlement, it , will certainly bo impossible for* the Imporial Govern: ment to arrivo at anundorstanding with Franoe. Colonial delegates should thoroforo lose no opportunity afforded by the Conference to adopt concerted action among all the Colonies. Sir F. Dillon lSell entertains ii confident hope that if this bo tho result o£ their deliberations !<. way will be paved towards an amicable settle ment of the question which prevented thut colo nial bond of union between the mother country and the colonies which is so much desired by all., It is understood that the present time is specially favourable for ,an arrangement of the matter, as recent communications between Sir F. }>. Bell and an eminent French poHlidan show that a more friendly feeling exists towardß the Australian colonios than tho latter seems to suppose, and a strong desiro to return to moro cordial relations with them.

ALLEGED PERJURY.

The Ohiiicmntu Squabble Again.

At tho Police Court to-day, before Mr H. G. Scth-Smith, R.M., Jane Graham was charged, on tho information of Ann Robertson, with falsely, wickedly, wilfully and corruptly com: initi Imj wilful and corrupt perjury in a ca3e in the Supreme Court, in which. Ann Robertson was the plaintiff, and John V, ilaon and John Hore the defendants.

Mr Earle appeared for the defence and pleaded not guilty. Mr Hudson Williamson, for tho prosecution, said this case arose out of civil proceedings takon in the Supremo Court in May of last year. The writ in that case was issued during the life of tlic late Mr Robert Graham, but subsequently Mr Graham died. Thecasowasaccordingly taken against tho executors in theeatato. ThcaTlegatton in present case was that Mrs Graham, one o£ the witnesses for tho oxecutors, hadlgiven evidence in the case, which was cf a material nature, and was false. TJio prosecution was one in which Mrs Robertson claimed .£I,OOO damages for forcible cicctment from tho Ohinemutu Hotel. Sho proved that she was in lawful possession of the hotel when she was ejected by a party of native women, who were, it was alleged, acting under. the direction and by the instigation of Mr Robert Graham. It was claimod on behalf of the defendacts that tho ejectment was made at the instigation of the ground landlords. The balance of evidence was divided as to whether the acts were done by tho authoritylof Mr Robert Graham, and tho scale was turned by the evidence of Mrs Graham. Sho went into the box and clinched tho matter by swearing that on tHe day in question Mr Robert Graham was not in Ohine mutu at all, but was on his way to Auckland. There was another prosecution against a man named Campbell, a witness in tho case, but that would be put off by arrangement till another day. They would not be propared to prove that Air Graham was present in Ohinouiutu on the day of tho ejectment, and that Mrs Graham was in his company. The corrupt intontion was a material point in the question, but if thoy proved that the evidence was given, and that tho witness knew it to be false, he hoped His Worship would not take on himself to decide on the intention or motive of Mrs Gra ham. Mr Williamson then proceeded to call evidence.

Charles White Cave, solicitor of the Supremo Court, deposed that ho knew Mrs Ann Robert soil'. He was acting for her in a case which sho brought in tho Supreme Cburt against Mr Graham's executors. Ho took lip the case before Mr Graham's death, and now produced the documents of the proceedings in the C3,sc. It was ncccSsary ill that caso to show that the scizuro and sale of the Ohinemutu Hotel was made at tho in stigation of Mr Robert Graham, and that he was tho moving spirit in the matter. Evidence was given that he was present at tho seizure, but he was not sure that he was present at the sale. The plaintiffs witnesses supported this allegation. Mrs Graham gave evidence in that case. She was sworn by the proper officer of the Court, and examined on behalf of the defen dant. She said that Mr Graham was not present during those proceedings and that he was either at Tauranga. or on his way to Auckland during the proceedings. He recollected her denying that Mr Graham authorized the sale in any way, and asserting that the sale had been instigated by certain natives who claimed rentjof the premises. That evidence was most certainly material to the issue.

By Mr Earl: The counsel for tho piaintiff Was Mr Cooper, and he examined a largo number of witnesses on behalf of the plaintiff. Some three or four witnesses deposed that Mr Graham was in the neighbourhood of Ohinemutu, and either at that place or Kaotu. A number of witnesses were also examined for the defendant, including several natives. He be lieved that Mrs Graham was called nearly at the end of the case, but he could not say where. He did not remember that somo of these witnesses admitted that Mr Graham was at Ohinemutu. Ho did not remember that Mr Edwards admitted such to be the case. He believed the purport of the evidence for tho defence was that Mr Graham was not at Ohinemutu. His impression was that the native witnesses denied that Mr Graham was at Ohinemutu or Te Kaotu. He was not prepared to say that on the occasion of the trial ono Edwards said Mr Graham was not at Ohinemutu; ho was at Tc Kaotu.

Tho witness asked Mr Earl what ho was quot ing from, and he replied. " From Mr Cotter's notes made at the trial." He knew of one entry on the hotel prior to the action being brought. It was made on behalf of Mr Graham, but he did not know by whom. He knew that there had been considerable trouble for about two months prior to that action, being bought. He did not know the question put to Mrs Graham which produced to answer alleged to be given, The question could not have been given. Do you remember hearing of trouble at the hotel 1 He distinctly remembered Mrs Graham making the statement which he had given in evidence, and also rcmemberedhaving been very much sur prised at it. The whole tenor of the evidence for the defence was to prove that Mr Graham was not at To Kooti or Ohincmutu. The exact words made use of by Mrs Graham were not these, " Mr Graham was then either in Tauranga or in Auckland." She said Mr Graham was. in Tauranga, on her way to Auckland, or in Auckland, at the time of these proceedings. He was not sure whethor the words, " of theso pro ceedings." She might have said to the best of my knowledge. Mrs Graham never investigated the Rroceedings by the natives. He had no recol :ction of Mr Earle asking Mrs Graham after sho made the answer, " That is to the best of your knowledge and belief V and her reply in the affirmative. He thought that answer of Mrs Grahams's wtfs given deliberately, and not for any misunderstanding of the question. He had refreshed his memory for a copy of the iudges notes.and the ne wspapor'evidencc. What he remembered being seen in tho judges notes was that Mrs Graham was either in Tauranga, or in Auckland.

By Mr Williamson; There could have been no doubt in Mrs Graham's mind as to which entry the proceedings related to. William HobinsoD, reporter on the staff of the " Herald," remembered the case in the Supreme Court in which Mrs Kobertson was plaintiff and Wilson and Howe defendants. Witness took notesof the evidence.and recollected M«s Graham fiving evidence. She swore that her husband ad nothing to do with the ejectment Mr Earl objected to evidence of a general character, and wanted the exact words. Witness then produced a file o£ the Herald, and read from his printed report that Mr Gra ham was either in Tauranga, or on his way to Auckland, or in Auckland, -when the entry was made. Those were the words she used. By IVIr Earle : He did not take a shorthand note of tho evidence. He made a brief note on the side of his copy, and wrote it on his copy. He probably added the effect of the question to Mrs Graham's reply, so that if she said Mr Graham was either atTauranga.onhis way to Auckland, or in Auckland, would probably have added the words "at the time of the entry." He invariably made his notes in longhand, using abbreviations. He had a recollection of Mr Kurl saying something like, "that is to tho best of your knowledge and belief. Mrs Graham." Several of the witnesses on both sides swore that Mrs Graham was present at Ohincmulu, and conse quently she was very much surprised.

[The case is proceeding.]

MrR. Hobbs, M.H.E., states "that the Horekino epacial settlers are intensely dis eatiefied at the unfulfilled promises of the Government. They have no stores, no credit, and some are io want of food, and have not tasted meat for week. Flour ia twenty shillings a hundred, and other goodß are in proportion. Some of the people are not on their sections yet, not boing able to get to them for want of roads'. Tbcee sett lers ate iii au isolated, inaccessible placo, and many will certainly starve if immediate relief is not forthcoming, Tho people aro willing to do without tea and BUgar if they can only get flour. The position cannot be exaggerated." I

PURITY OF AUCKLAND WATER.

Mr Pond's Report.

The report of Mr J. A. Pond, public analyst; on the city wator supply aa obtained from the Western Springs is as follows i —

Auckland, March 10, ISB7. Sir,- Iq ac cordance with tho instructions contained in your letter of the 4th inßt., I herewith forward you my report upon the purity of the city water supply, the direction of the Council requiring that the water for analysis should " be taken from tho pump ing Btatton, reeorvoire, and from etandpipes at the high and low levels of the City." On the 7th inst. I obtained samples from the pump well ;it tho pumping Btation, from the collecting pond, and from tho reservoirs at Ponsonby and Kyber Pass. On the 12th inßt. I obtained a check sample from tho pump well, and on the 17th met. eamplos from tho standpipe at the corner of Queen and Cuatoma-Btreets, and from Pollen-streot, Surrey Hills. , In the latter instance I de parted from my inetructione, and obtained tho Baraple from a private top, in conse quence of n letter appearing; in one of thp papers speaking of t,he impure state of the water in this street This sarhple Was obtained from a tap in Mr Clayton's photo graphic studio, and as ho stated he had been using a largo (Quantity of wator, it may he taken as a fair avorage then being sup plied in the neighbourhood. ~, . Oh obtaining tile sample frolri the pump well on the fth ihat j and finding it turbid, I examined tho inlet to the pities at the main spring, and found the turbidity causod by an influx of wator from the collecting pond, which at this time ivas very dis coloured,.,locally, by a further addition to the filter bed. , With the analyses of all the Eamples, I htive nleo attached a copy of analysis made under the same conditions^ the samples being drawn March 10th, 18S4, from tho pump well and a city standpipe. From these rosults, it will be Beon that thore is an increase of organic matter and, of nitrates, while the chlorine and ammonia are about the same. The cause of this is undoubtedly owing to a large influx of water from the collecting ponds j as in tho analysis of the sample taken from the pond near tho pump well, it will be seen that tho amount of oxygen abaprbed in four hours is exceptionally high. It is aleo Bhowii by thb prosenco of a largor (juantity of alg;« and moving organisms than before. There can bo no question that it is to this cause may bo attributod tho many complaints made lately of tho largo amount of insoct life in the water. t The romedy foi this objeetionoblo addition to our otherwise excellent water supply, is either to discard the wator from the collect ing ponds, or a more porfect mode of filtra tion. At present further additions of fino gravel are being made which, though an improvement, will not Bulh'ce to exclude the finest particles of oi'ganio matter. The addition of a filter-bed, of the magnetic iron sand from tho West Coast, easily obtainable at Onehunga, will be more effectual than any other medium for this purpose, and can be bo arranged that tho exit from the springs when the pumpß are not at work will always keep the filter-bed clean. Tho rcration of the wator while in transit from the pumps to tho reservoirs would aleo provo of great valuo under the proeent circum stances.

I cannot close thia report without again oalling the attention of tbo Council to a mattbr which, to my mind, threatens tho purity of our wator tupply moro than any other cause. I allude to the cemetery of Mount Albert, and would refer you to my report to the Special Water Committeo, dated April 2lßt, 18S4. Since that report was written, tho opening of tho cemetery at Waikomiti has rendered lees necossary tho ono at Mount Albert.—l have, etc , j, A. Pond, Colonial Analyst. P. A. Philips, Esq., Town Clerk, Auckland.

M, GARNIER'S TEST.

At tho invitation of M. Gamier, medical electrician, a numbbr of gontlemen assembled at his Consulting Rooms, 220, Queon-streot, at 10 o'clock this morning for the purpoeo of witnessing " a eerios of experimental electrical anolyaos of our city water supply." Amongst thbae present were Crs. Holland, Garratt, Swaloe, Atkin, Clarko, Trenv.'ith, and Davioc, Mr K. T; Warnock (Mayor of Newton), Superintendent Hughes, Dr. Tennent, and Messrs G. P. Pibrce, B. Mitchelson, M.H.R, Dalton, C.E., J. A. Pond (Provincial Analyst), C. D. Whitcombe, J. O'Meagher, J. M. McLachlan, and representatives of the STAi^and " Herald." Aa a preliminary to the proceedings, Mr Whitcombe road the transition of an address which M. Gafnier had composed in French, and which, inter alia, contained the following statoment :— "I have discovered how to find out without trouble or even much expense all the or ganic matter contained not ODly in our city water, but also even in distilled water, and the process can be applied as well to urine, wine, spirits and beer, and especially for do tormining the age of wine. X think; in de monstrating all this, it will be rendering a service to humanity, as not onlj I undertake to chow you the organic matter contained in the water we have to drink, but I shall also impart to you the means whereby you may always have_ at your command water fit to drink." Just when operations were about to be com. menced, a contretemps occurred that might have upset some of the arrangements, A messenger arrived from Mr Peacock for pos session of the microscope which had been borrowed from that gentleman's establish ment for the purpose of the experiment. Mr Pond, however, kindly relieved M. Gamier from hie awkward dilemma by sending oft for his own microscope.and while its arrival wae being awaited he produced and exhibited two phials—one containing the organic residuum of a half-gallon of water taken from the Ponsonby Reservoir as it arrived there, and the other containing the organic residuum of a simi lar quantity of water taken from one ef the ponds at the reservoir. In each caee the residuum abounded with animal life, but, more especially that from the pond which contained plenty of water fleas, besides some ten or twelve varieties of diatoms—ft species of silicious animal cola;. The microscope having at length arrived, M. Gamier produced from a box five glass jars filled with city water, and duly sealed. No. 1 sample was taken from the Ponsonby reeervoir on the9thinet., in the presence of Messrs Carlaw (furn cock) and Eagleton ; No. 2 sample, from the Western Springs at their sourae ; No. 3 aample.from tho pumping station reservoir ; No, 4 sample, from the highest altitude of the water service, viz., Kyber Pass reser voir ; and No. 5 sample, from its lowost altitude, viz, Lower Qaeen-street. M, Gamier having adjusted his appar atu?, which was connected with a Leclanche' battory, 66t to work with tho decomposition of the water contained in No 1 eamplo. As the process was expected to occupy a couple of hours, the gentlemen present caw it started and then withdrew, the majority of them promising to return at one o'clock to aecertain the result.

At 1.45 tho experiment had not suffi ciently advanced to enable ODy definite result to bo arrived at. Tho decomposition of the watßr takes longer than wbb anti cipated.

A vessel is signalled outside of Tiritiri as we go to press.

As a letter by " Solis" on the city water supply which is published in our supple ment to-day points to the same causes of pollution as are indicated in Mr Pond's report, it is only fair to state that the letter of " Salus " has been in our hands some days, waiting a chance of insertion.

Under examination by the Official As- Eignee to-day, Matthew Henry Frost (a bankrupt) made the following statement: —For five years prior to 1883 I was a land acent in Auckland. It was not a remuner ative business, and I left it in debt Some of theee debts are on my present schedule of liabilities. Since 1883 I have been butchering and carpentering at various times and places, but have never succeeded in earning sufficient to support my family of Bix young children. I have been a widower sevon years. My present indebtedness amounts to £595 12s 2d—of this £250 5a 7d was incurred prior to 1883. My only explanation of this large liability (£325 6a 7d) since is that I had been unable to earn sufficient to support my family. My aEeets consist of book debts, £640 6s 2d for commissions, etc, prior to ISB3 I have no doubt some portion of this could be recovered. Some of these debts are beyond the statute of limitations. ! Beyond this I have nothing but 1 a few odds and enda of the value 'of about £5, and £5 worth of household furniture. It was my wish and intention to pay off lecent debts if 1 had been let alone, but pressure and a judgment compelled mo to tile. I do not think ray friends will help roe now that I have filed i
