GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
[ANGLO- AUSTRALIAN PKESS TELEGRAPH AGENCY.] Wellington, Sept. 1. The debate on the Provincial Loans Bill was resumed. Mr Binuey sud the provisions for security by rates were inserted because the Government saw the necessity for a property tax, and wanted to throw on the Provinces the odium of the imposition. He would not oppose the Bill, but hoped it would be altered in Committee. Mr Buckland opposed the Bill as utterly bad. The debate was adjourned till tomorrow.. On the motion that the House go into Committee on the Gold-mining Bill, Mr Shepherd moved its committal that day six months. The motion was negatived on division by the Speaker's casting vote. In Committee, Mr White immediately moved that the Speaker leave the chair, which was carried on division by 24 to 19. The Bill was then thrown out. The Educatiou Bill in Committee is now on. Mr O'Neill moved an amendment that the Speaker leave the chair, which, if carried, throws out the Bill.
