TUESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1881.

The Rev. H. R. Dewsbury conducted the services, morning and, evening, at the Cambridge Wesleyan Church on Sunday last. We have received the current number of the lUuUratccl New Zcalamd Herald, containing the usual number of engravings, some of which are i well executed. The intelligence received by Mr T. Wells from Messrs Whitaker and Whyte, M.H.R.'s, on Friday last, to the effect that the Cambridge Railway Bill had passed the second reading by a large majority, was received with universal satisfaction ill Cambridge. Mr Wells read a telegram signed by both > members at the Rev. Mr Dewsbury's lecture on Friday night, when the news was greeted with much applause. In speaking on the Representation/ Bill one of the Maori members (Mr Mohi Tawhai) is reported to, have i'said in i his r speech.: — Now I will ask you wllo sit' here in this House, as well as all the officers in the Government service, why are you $o,i assiduous in * your i duties?, Why, because you aro, paid to ' do j your work. If your pay ceased, I am bound

Mho say yM would all^qufotit and for- [ sake your posts. It is' the money that keeps you. It will be seen by an advertise•mpu^ipanofcho^floluinn that thft4SftX. ernmintMnv^tef tender^ WtM ereeflftn ol&he railway-bridge 'at HamiftonU-The- tenders are to be in by the 12th October, and it is to be presumed tlfaT"the work wnT'be' commenced shortly, aftp that date. * TlWfaciiig privUeges for tile l (3im-: bridge Soring Meeting were sold by auction by Mr'"H."'ETCofton*'aFTiis'aalS" rooms, Victoria-street^ pu Saturday ing last. There, \saa »»prelty gpd& Attendance, and the bidding was spirited. The following are the prices :~*-GrandH stand bar and Dining-room (Mr Raynes), £lo ; Good Templars' booth (Mr Raynes), £4 ; cards (Mr Adams), £8 10 a; horse paddock, < Mr ,■ Hoy),; £2 t ; gates (Mr Adams), ( £20., ;'We ara given to understand that the booths were purchased by ' Mr Ravnes for Mr, Camp, of the, Tamahere:Hotel, [l' * < , , >"'• \ I Great dissatisfaction is expressed at the probability of iMr P. Corboy obtaining the only piece of available bush land in the Whatawhata district as' fipm- ! pensation for the loss of some deferred payment system land, in the Raglan dis- I trict, granted to him/ -The setilers were not made aware of Mr Corboy 's intention till ,very recently, and ( they are taking the necessary steps to prevent the alienation of the bush reserve, which forms the only source from which they draw their supply of firewood, They intend communicating with the Government through the member for Waipa, and there are good grounds for believing that their action will have the desired effect. ' The Tamahere central road is no-w-in very fair condition along the greater portion of its length, though some attention is still required to be paid to that ! part .nearest the Eureka gate. The improvement which has been made in this portion of the district during the last twelve months has been very marked. The Tamahere Highway Board have taken very efficient measures to preserve the earthworks at Hinton's and Crawfords gullies. In both places a double line of wattling has been placed on either side of the embankment ; the intervening space, as well as the lower part of the slope, being planted with poplar and other quick growing trees. This example might be followed with profit in other parts of the Waikato. We are requested to state that the Bishop df ■ Auckland wili preach at the evening service to-morrow at 7 p.m., and after the service a meeting of churchpeople will be held to consider a scheme for providing more parson's services. . The Bishop will preside, and a full muster of church folk (men and women) is requested. A special meeting of the Hamilton Domain Board was held last night for the purpose of reconsidering a resolution passed at the last meeting re allowing £30 for improvements on the surrender of the lease of Mr F. Vialou's allotment Domain lands. There were presentMessrs Knox (chairman), Jones, Hill, Peat, and Vialou, Messrs Jones and Hill, who were not present at the former meeting, expressed great dissatisfaction and surprise that the Board should have fixed a valuation without inspecting the improvements. Mr Jones then moved, and Mr 'Peat (who opposed the resolution when passed) seconded "That the resolution regarding allotment No. 21 passed at last meeting be rescinded." The resolution was put and carried. Major Wilson, of Te Koao, Waipa, met with what might have been a serious accident on Saturday last. He had been to meet the South train from Auckland, and started for home about 4 p.m. He had proceeded some distance when one of the bolts of the shaft broke, and the mare began to plunge. Luckily tor the Major, he was thrown out immediately. The mare then bolted and threw the buggy into a hole on the road, when the other bolt breaking she proceeded home with the shafts. Beyond a severe shaking the Major escaped unhurt. The buggy, however, was very much damaged. The Bannockburn, chartered by the W.S.N. Company, cleared from Melbourne on the 3rd inst. for Port Waikato, with a cargo of A^ictonan bonedust She is expected to reach her destination daily. The Borealib has been chartered by the same Company, and w r ill arrive at Port Waikato in about five weeks from now, with a cargo of bonedust and boneflour. The Bannock burn, after discharging her cargo, will return to Melbourne for another for the 'same consignees. At the Police Court, Hamilton, yesterday befoie His Worship the Mayor, Lawrence Hayea was charged with havingcommitted rape on a married woman named Gordon residing in Hamilton J^ast., The accused was remanded on the application of the police till this morning, bail being allowed in two sureties of £100 each and the accused's own recognition of £150. In reply to a deputation of representatives from Ireland on the subject of the liish land question, Cardinal Manning baid — It wab quitf* obvious that a certain amount of land was necessary if a man was to live by it, and live on it as a farmer ; he would not attempt to fix what that quantity ought to > be,/ as it varied according to conditions of soil and climate. But there ought' .to be a minimum under wh t ich ! inen would not be allowed to be tenant-farmers, because there would not, be enough produce for the maintenance of themselves and their families. Every labourer ought first of allto have a house. There should be a law to compel those who possessed an interest in the land to provide under • certain conditions propel houses for the labourers. He would further say that there ought not to be a labourer in Ireland who did not possess with his house, however little, on allotment of land, and if possible, a garden. Mr Thomas Charles Hammond has been appointed Creditors' Trustee in the '.bankrupt estate of William , Henry Goodwin, of Hamilton. ' ' All claims against Tawhiao'a Reception Committee are rcquesred to be sent in to Mr John Knox'before S^J.m. this day, or they will not be recognised. Messrs Mac Lean and Co. are open to lease their imported Clydesdale stallion 1 " Stai and Garter," to travel in tha Upper W.aipa districts. Tenders to be in by the 2ist inst. Mr Kenneey Hill ,will .dispose of a x quantity of building material at tb.e Delta Hotel, '' Ngaruawabia, on the 21st inst. The new pure cash system now being initiated by G. and C. will certainly prove a benefit to the public. It has , been a great success, in Sydney arid Melbourne and when strictly carried out ' the tius'tomer who > buys it an establishment where the goods are marked low to ensure a. rapid sale must be a great gainer. G. and C. sell their drapery millinery, and clothing at such prices for cash as gives the buyer the advantages of a shareholder in a co-operative^ociety, wjthoutthorisk of being called upon to bear aportion of the loss should the <yoarV business prove unsatisfactory. 'Garlick and Cranwell will aim ( to retain the confidence which the public have hitherto showta them, and are determined to give the pure cash system a. fair trial ; whether they gaihi or lofee the firjt year. Country buyers on remitting cash with ottler will ,be supplied with goods prices ; just the samo'as'though'they made* a personal selection: Furnishing 'goods} suchf-as carpetiy floor , cloths,' bedsteads, bea^uip^nd,, genera*, house furniture, the. largest portion of wnicii is turned out at our own'factdry, wiirbe nWked'&t' the lowest remunerative prices, and a discount of five ]jer cent, will be allowed to those who pay,}»s , •. the $ime of purchase. jG. &/C. haying 'realised the entire value of their stock during their i lam cash sa^e, the present Stock is N8W T ANB v ckßAM.r boog'ht.
