WELLINGTON.
[Br Telegraph.] (From our oton Correspondent.) Weluxotok. October 2, Remarking on last Thursday night’s debate, the “N. Z. Times’ says:—“ Mr Bradshaw’s experience of last night should teach him that violent and extravagant language seldom dees good, for it was his unwarranted and offensive expressions that pushed Mr R-ia’s Female Rmployinent Bill through n second reading, iho mover opened the debate in a temperate and aigumoututivo speech, to which Mr Bradttiiaw replied in a manner that proved the bad* n « S f y* l * causu - To com pure the condition of female-workers in tins country with that of serfs in Russia, or with the degraded position of some factory women in England, was absurd; t-ut it was more than absurd to state that the prouiotei s of the Dill desired io grind down and oppress fatherless children and widows—to woik them like slaves day and night, the Sabbath included, and ,o sacrifice human flesh and blood in oroer that additional gold might be gamed. To use Air Reid’s words, the hon. member should not set himself up as the sole conservator of right or the sole possessor of human sympathy. Thcic ere others who have as keen a sense of justice, and who would reject as scornfully ns ho any scheme lor getting gain at the expense of their suffering fellowcreatures. The attack was quite uncalled for, and affected considerably the result of the division.”
