Mr W. M Berry wires that the Terraces are gone. The whole place occupied by them and by Rotomahaoa ia now a series ef great volcanoes, and a grand and ter rible spectacle. Huge boulders and showers of ashes are being thrown up by there. Tarawera is as far as we could see it free from volcanic disturbance. We could not see the site of tire White Ter race for smoke and steam, but it cannot exist. The Pink Terraco looks as if it had fallen in. All the Natives about Roto mahananuisl have perished.

TINWALD TOWN BOARD.

To Tue Fditok

Sin, —I have been waiting patiently for the last five months to see the advertise ment calling for an election of one candi date to serve upon the above local body in the toom of Mr Robert Ennis, who resigned his seat so as to enable him to undertake contracts from the Board {he being the only contractor the Board em ploys.) I will relate the circumstance that makes me anxious. There are only four members of this Board, and the Chairman can, if any one member vote with him, carry any resolution ho hai a mind to, against me wish of the other two members, by the exercise of his oust ing vote. Surely this power should not be in the bands of any one, neither do 1 suggest that it has been improperly exer cised. But still it may be, and lam of opinion that the affair should be taken notice of. - , The Act also provides that a table of work shall bo annually laid before 'he Board and that the Board shall adopt the same or otherwise. 1 maintain that before any other works are executed, the works upon that adi p'ed table as laid before the Board must he done, then any money that is availab'e may be used as the Board may direct. 1 am sure the work at Houston’s creeks, and formation on to Ford’s read were never in ths advertised estimate for the year 1886. Yet I see it is let to Bow and Meharry, at Bs. 1 hereby protest against this, as the work is not of any benefit to anybody except the owner of New Grove Farm. . . , I will refrain from the subject of building a concrete bridge at this time of the year, as it is well known no one but a fool would suggest such a thing.—

Lord Houghton in the course of a dir• cusaioa which arose In the House of Lords last evening relative to the trade importation of frozen meat into England stated that it was impossible to prevent butchers selling Australian mutton as English, It has transpired with reference to the recent caucus of Radical members of the House of Commons at which it was decided to oppose the second reading of the Government of Ireland Bill that Mr Chamberlain was originally favorable to his party, abstaining from taking part in the division, but a speech made by Mr Trevlyan and a letter which was read from Mr John Bright, influenced the decision of the meeting. The reply ot the South Australian Go v rnment to the proposal that the manage ment of the Jubilee Exhibition, to be held at Adelaide next year, shou’d be taken by Government out of the hands of private persons, ia anxiously awaited The Imperial Government, has deter mined npon conpu’ting iheJvarlousColonl* 1 Governments, as to the practicability of utlising consular and other diplomats agencies for the promo'!ou of commerce with Foreign cations It ia reported that the action of the United States Consul at Samoa, lu declar ing the establishment < f a protectorate over the Islands has been freely discussed by the Germs ' Press.
