THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS.

(Pek Pbess Association )

London. S' r'emW 2? [ The Whitecbap/. Coroner has be t> i informed that purchaseis are found i«J America for the anatomical p-rtions of human bodies such as are missing from the corpses of persons recently murdered. In consequence of this m formation the Coroner states his belief that the murders were committed by some anatorast desirous of obtaining human organs for a medical exhibition m America. The investigation of the Whitcchape! murders still continues, and it has been ascertained that an American offered the curator of a London hospital the sum of for each specimen of a uterus he could procure for him. The applicant stated his object m en deavoring to secure these specimens was m order to issue an actual speci men with the copy of a new medical work to be published shortly, and he desired they should be immersed m glycerine to preserve them. The curator refused to entertain the pro posal. Acting on the information of the coroner, the police arrested a man named Fitzgerald on a charge of murder, and he has confessed to having committed the latest crime.

An old man named Richard William Care waa to-day committed for tail on a charge of obtaining money by falte pre tences. From the evidence It appeared that Can gave another maa, Reardon, a bill at three months for £20 for the pnr obaie of some goode, saying at the time that he had arranged with his eon to endorse the bill. Reardoc accepted the bill m good faith, but on his presenting the bill to the son for endorsement, the •on refused to back it. The case is rather an extraordinary one, as Reardon sued Oarr m the Resident Magistrate's Court ■ome weeks ago for recovery of the money, but the Resident Magistrate refused to hear the oase, aaylng that it was an indict able offence. It was owing to this remark that a warrant was taken out and Carr. arrested.

The rash to the Walkakaho still con tinues, bat for what reason it is difficult to understand;

NOTES.

v ot\vithstaxding that some of our! contemporaries have condemned any hing like a scare about the condition of the railway line alonsj the face of the Purakanui cliffs, and arpm d that the recent fatal accident, caused by the falling upon the me of a mass of rock detach c-d from above, was a wholly ex ceptional r.ccurren c, it now appears frrrn a telegram published yesterday that there \? and has been very real danger to the traveller at the locality referred to. It is now acknowledged that during the winter reason slips have been of frequent occurrence, and that from time to time thousands of tons

have fallen. Under these circumstances it is evident that it would have been criminal on the part of the Government to delay the necessary works to ensure the safety of the travelling .public, as until these are completed, there is a serious risk of a terrible disaster occur ring at any moment after a protracted rain or after a rapid thaw succeeding a sharp frost. A tunnel is to be driven behind the most dangerous place at a cost of from £10,000 to £12,000, and it is intended to have tbis, and other works m connection therewith, completed before next winter. In the meantime the most rigid and careful supervision of the line should bte exercised and every possible precaution taken for the safety of the traffic. This, no doubt will be done, but travellers to Dunedin will breathe more freely after leaving W aitati when it is '< no longer necessary to pass m front of the dangerous spot.

Everybody is aware that the New Plymouth harbor-works have not proved a success, but few people \rere prepared to learn that they have turned out such a fearful waste of money and so disas trous a failure as it now appears upon official authority that they have. In a recent number of the Government " Gazette " there is a " notice to mariners " setting forth that "An extensive sandbank has formed across the entrance to the port of New Plymouth, and directly across the approach to the end of the wharf. This bank extends to 750 ft m a south-easterly direction from the end of the breakwater, and 500 ft parallel with it, its southern end being nearly m line with the outer end of the wharf, which is 540 ft m from the end of the breakwater. From the end of the wharf to within 200 ft of the end of the breakwater, and 200 ft wide, there is 12ft, 13ft, and 14ft, oi water at low water springs, while on the bank there is only from 18iu to 4ft, the deepest being m line midway between the breakwater and wharf, and the shoalest at its southern end. Vessels drawing Bft can cross the bank at half tide, 10ft at high water neaps, and 12ft at springs, m moderate weather (the sea breaks heavy on the bank m bad weather), by keeping the flagstaff just open to the westward of the end of the wharf. This is the deepest water over the shoal. Masters of vessels bound for the wharf should keep the flagstaff and beacon m line bearing B.W. %-W. until the white bollard on the breakwater is m line with the summit of Moturoa Island, bearing N.W; by W. £-W. This clears the outer edge of the bank, with 14ft at low water springs, with 12ft at the outer end of the wharf, and Bft" at the inner end." From this we gather that instead of creating a first-class or even second class harbor at New Plymouth by a large expenditure of borrowed money all that has been effected hasheen to render navigation extremely difficult and risky with a prospect of its becoming im possible. This is a pretty state of things, and writes m the largest of large letters to other coast towns which have it m contemplation to plunge into a hopeless contest with Nature the time honored caution " Look before you leap."

Solomon was accounted the wisest of men m his day, hut the parents of the present generation esteem themselves wiser than he, for large numbers of them wholly eschew his precepts, which abound m the book of Proverbs, as to the salutary effect of the rod as a corrective of juvenile transgressors. We alto gether disapprove ourselves of indiscri minate or vindictive chastisement, but that it is occasionally necessary there can be no question, and not a little of the larrikinism of the present day is traceable to the fact that physical punishment has been almost altogether abandoned m the training of the young. We by no means desire to see the frequent use of the birch, which was a disgrace to old-fashioned schools, re- Btored to those of "to-day, but we do think that the modern schoolmaster has a bad time of it through the almost universal refusal of parents to allow of the enforcement of discipline by corporal punishment even when it becomes a manifest necessity. Every now and then { School Committees are called upon to enquire into complaints made against teachers for venturing to use the rod, and though?sometimes there is found room for fault-finding on the ground of excessive severity, yet as a rule it is generally discovered that there is little or nothingto complain ot Such an inquiry was held at Sanson (up Rangitikei way) the other day and after hearing the evidence the Com mittee unanimously concluded that it was necessary to uphold the master m his endeavors to restore the discipline of the school. But, given that punishment may and mast be sometimes inflicted, a contemporary of the Sanson cape, thus amusingly alludes to the difficulty of defining as to how it may be inflicted. It says : — " The great problem with the teacher nowa-days is not so much how to teach the boys as 'where to spank them. One mother is very solicitous that the master shall not administer punishment on the hand; with others the ear must not be boxed ; another insists that the legs must be free ; while others again are terror stricken at the idea of punishment being put on that part of Johny's anatomy upon which he sits, as it tends to dull his intellect and cows him." It is of opinion that there is only one way out of the difficulty, and chaffingly suggests that Sir George Grey be asked to bring m next session H a Bill by which every mother shall be compelled to place a mark upon that part of her youthful Btudent's anatomy that is to be tapu aud sacred from the destroying rod of the schoolmaster, and then leave it to the Committee to see that such part has 1 absolute immunity from attack." The weak point m our contemporary's scheme is thajb come fond and foolish mothers would tapu the whoje boy from hie prow» to j)ie toes,

Despite the, s fact that he was clearly shown that he was m error m his speech at Ashburton m stating that the Licensing Act of last session was brought m at the instance of the brewing interest, and that it had been dropped by Major (Steward be cause of the proposal to add the Female Franchise clause, we observe that Mr Glover reiterated his erroneous and unfounded statements at Oamaru, and has been taken to task therefor, m the correspondence columns of the " Oamaru Mail " by the member for Waimate. Mr Glover will certainly damage himself m the eyes of all right- j thinking men if he persist m this course, inasmuch as he cannot now plead ignorance of the real facts of the case. He evidently does not like to be himself unjustly attacked, and ha 3 recently had some experience of that sort of thing, which he very naturally resented . It appears that among other places Mr Glover visited Ngapara, and that after he left, one of the staff of the hotel showed about one of those in genious " pocket pistols " made m the form of a book, and containing a bottle, which he alleged he had seen fajl frqni Mr Glover's pocket. Of course* there has no truth m the yarn, and Mr Glover very properly resented it with indignation. But what is sauce ( for the goose is sauce for the gander, and Mr Glover shonld be as careful of the reputation of others as he rightly is of his own.

EMPEROR FREDERICK'S DIARY.

[PKR PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Berlin, September 27. Prince Bismarck has determined to prosecute the publishers of extracts from the Emperor Frederick's diary on a charge of revealing secrets. The " Review," which is publishing the late Emperor's^ diary ? _has been directed to stop its circulation. T?ublic opinion is divided and excited ovsr the publication and its consequent revela tions. It is rumored that a portion of the diary bearing on the war of 1866 ' j will appear shortly.

Prince Bismarck declares that the Emperor Frederick was not permitted to take part m the political discussions m 1870, as his father feared he was indiscreet, and would make disclosures to the English Court. He cites instances of inaccurate entries m the Emperor Frederick's diary, extracts from which Prince Bismarck asserts were published m the interests of a revolution.
