COMMERCIAL.

Melbourne, October lfi The Age states that definite arrangements have been concluded between the repre sentatives of one of the steam lines and the frozen meat shippers of Melbourne ami Sydney for a direct shipment to Manchester of 2'»,000 carcases of frozen mutton. The service begins next May, and will be con tinued at regular intervals of four weeks, The shipments are being made without any Government assistance, but it is certain that the Agricultural Department will offer every facility, and shippers of perishable produce will avail themselves ot the second market. At the opening of this wool sales, 5830 bales were offered and 4760 sold. There was a large attendance and good competition, bub the animation was not very marked, which is ascribed to the latest London advicee of lower prices. Compared with last yearns opening the prices are good. Merino greasiesare Id, pieces |d, good crossbreds Id to l|d, and inferior qualities |d higher all round. Lambs' wool is unohanged.

Mr Wilding for plaintiff.—Samuel Bennett, the plaintiff, said he worked for Mr Max well at ploughing and other jobs. Always got; £1 per week before and since When leaving Maxwell wanted him to take 16s. By defendant—Yon told me you had seen in the papers that Mr Grigg had lowered his wages, but you said nobbing about reducing plaintiff's. H*d been on a farm all his life. By Mr Wilding—Did not agree to accept less than £1 per week when Maxwell mentioned the reduction at Longbeach—J. McOusker, a farmer at I Riverside, said he had paid plaintiff £1 per week at various times, and considered > him worth it. He was better worth it than other ram he bad.—John Brown, farmer at Wakanui, gave similar evidence. By the b.M.- Bennett was as good a man as could be got.—John Gibson, farmer at Riverside, said Bennett had had £1 per week on witness's mother's farm, and was worth it. It was a usual rate— Robert Maxwell, defendant, said plaintiff asked for £1 per week extra for harvest ing, but he di-1 not agree to give it. Whon Mr <>rigg made the reduction told plaintiff the rate of wages would be 16 i per week The S.M. said the evidence showed that£l per week was a usual rate, and that plain iff was worth it. There was some doubti astothe allowance for harvest ing and judgement would be for plaintiff for £4 and costs.—Judgment went by de fault with costs in H M. Jonss vH. G.

GENERAL BOOTH.

General Booth had a very enthusiastic reception at Timaru. Replying to an address presented to him by the Prohi bition League, he said his life was consecrated to the prohibition of evil in all Its forms, that produce misery, and make miserable homes and miserable people, and every one who profassed to be a follower of the Saviour ought to be a prohibitionist in that wide sense, Bghting the Devil in every shape and form. 1 hey all knew that the Salvation Army were prohibitionists in regard to the diink traffic, and in that regard were worthy of Imitation by other organisations winch professed to have the happiness of man kind in view. They began where every man and woman could begin, by prohibit ing liquor from fcoin;? down their own throats ; and they refused to acctpt as a soldier any one who touched, tasted, handled, or made money oat of the damnable devilish Btuff. If they could getaProhiH-lcn Bill into the churches they wouidsoon got one in the State, and make some use of it. M.amime, let every man do his own work, haviug no traffic with evil of any kind, consecrating himself (o all that is good, trying to leave the world better for his hadng lived in it. The Tiroaru Herald, in an editorial, thus refers to the above sentences in the speech :—lfc eeem?, then, that General Booth and the Salvation Army scarcely recognise as a Christian, or even as a respectable heathen, any man who is the moat moderate of drinkers- They will not admit him as a member of their organisation ; he Is. altogether too bad for such fel owship. The Salvation Army can of course please themselves in that matter, but their extreme views on the liqaor question are decidedly fanatical and quite out- of touch with the Christian religion. Strong drink is nob essentially evil; on the contrary ie ia an excellent thing, It is the excessive use of it that does the harm, and precisely the same may be said of eating and of most other things. The great bulk of the community hold sound views on that point and act up to them. In the evening, notwithstanding the tremendous physical stran that must have been upon him considering the work he has done since he has been in the colony, and hia advanced years, the distinguished vl&itor spoTse for two hours in the crowded theatre, and delivered one of the best ad dresses he has given since his arrival. His own personal history, and that o? the organisation of which he is the head, was given in what the Herald calls a lightning pketch, in the course of which he aaid that thirty years ago the general and whole staff or officers, and the whole army of soldiers ' stood under one hat, and I wan the man that wore it.' Afc the present day, j the army is represented in 45 different j countries and colonies, preached in 35 i different languages,—'so we are not such an igno; ant lot you see - —controlled by j 11,600 str-ft" and field officers withdrawn ! entirely from other employments, and supporting 26 newspapers in 15 languages with acirculation of 850,000 copies a week In his early days, he explained, he was a superlatively good Methodist, and he was a Methodist still ; but he cared little for methods. Methods could be changed as circumstances required, but principles were unchangeable The gathet ing was most enthusiastic.

Lord Brassey on Imperial Defence.

THIS QVEM*»«A. <:«9lL«»!sir

: Albany, October 17 Lord Brassey was entertained to a banquet. In referring to Imperial defence he said it was quite clear to his mind that the share of Australia in defence should be of a local character, and if she efficiently attended to this to a greatfr extent than v, 7as already dona by thy local navy, that was all that she could possibly be expected to do in joining the Imperial Federation League. It was never his view that they should endeavor to get the colo nies to give greater pecuniary assist ance to defence, and he believed that public feeling in the Old Country was that whatever might bs the fature development, at the present time it would be unwiso jukl was Uncalled for to make any attempt to increa.se the contributions. He had come to the conclusion that the Imperial Federation League should cease to exist, as there was now no need of anybody to stir up sympathy for the colonies. His Ex cellency then referred to his estate near here, and said General Booth desired to use it as &n over-sea colony; but after consideration he had decided not to accede to the request, as it was not a good thing for a young country to have some hundreds of people, not of the best class as colonists, dumped down within it.
