some illustrious visitors in the " persons " of tAvo whales, avlio seemed to be making a cruise of inspection of our harbour. They were playfully disporting themselves, but several riHe shots from the Cossack disturbed tlieir gambols, Avhen one " Avhale-ship saw fit to take a header, and, whisking his tail as in derision, disappear from vieAv. Would not a small whale iishing company, for the purposes of receiving such visitors in a proper form, be a remunerative speculation, and at the same time, one of hearty enjoyment ? The French war vessel Vaudreuil has paid Eotumah a visit, and inflicted sundry fines, amounting to tifty casks of oil, upon the Protestant natives. The chiefs refuse to pay, and have written to the Commodore on the Australian station, offering to cede their jsland^to Great Britain. ,ttorney-General made application to the Supreme Court to make absolute tho rule nisi calling upon Messrs F. and W Hennings, the caveators, and Mr W. Clarke, the intervcnor, to show cause why the case against the brig Carl, recently tried and determined in the Court, should no be re opened. Their Honors discharged the application.

A direct line of vessels between London and Fiji has been established.

Messrs F. and AY. Hennings have disposed of their store-keeping business to Messrs Allen, Baillie and Co.

. M, r..A- V- Lan S> one of the leading settlers in Fiji, died of dysentery at Savu Savn, on the 13th August, at the age of 58 years. Mr Gallagher, of Kinnaird Point, Ovalau, reports having seen wreckage near Ovalau, and secured it so as to be able to revisit and make an inspection of it. The- Avreck consisted of the hatch, combings, five beams, Avith por tions of the deck attached, and painted white. One of the beams Avas charred Avith fire at one end. The pieces are supposed to be portion of a vessel of about fifteen tons burthen.

September 4. The sitting of the Supreme Court was adjourned from yesterday morning until to morroAv on account of the indisposition of Mr Justice Forwood.

There has been some slight disturbance at Rewa between the settlers and the natives. We hear that it occurred at Mr Storck's plantation, Avhich the Fijians had quite besieged, owing to Mr Storck having sentenced a native to a term of labor, for some depredation committed. The settlers lower down the river Avent up to Mr Storck's homestead aud released him from the unpleasant position. These are the particulars as far as Aye have been able to gather them ; the last that Aye heard being that every thing was quiet in that neigh bourhood.

SAMOA.

The war in Samoa still continues Avith unabated Aagor, neither side appearing to gain any decided advantage. The natives are armed with excellent Aveapons —Schnie- ders, Henrys, aud sixteen-shooter rifles. In addition, they have small cannon, with which they man large canoes, but one party l-ecently swept its opponents from the sea, and iioav holds maritime supremacy. One side Avas possesed of two small schooners, Avhich were armed Avith carrouades, and the other .brought four large double canoes against them, Avhich were similarly armed, and a naval engagement took place, resulting in the sinking of the schooners. The hostile parties are successful in bringing in the heads of some of their enemies, when great re joicing is the result. Recently, one side succeeded in killing three very old men, one of Avhom had been totally blind for many years. At present there doec not appear to he any prospect of a cessation of hostilities. An American company is busily engaged buying up land, and a German firm trading amongst those islands is entering into power ful competition with them for the purpose of keeping them out. The German firm has three vessels there (awaiting loading) of 1,700, 1,200, and 900 tons respectively. The planting of the American is said to have been the act of an American steamer engaged in purchasing land for the company, who, upon |the conclusion of a purchase, planted the " stars and stripes " on the soil for the purpose of intimidating the natives. When at Samoa, the Albert, cutter, spoke the Kenilworth,which had disposed of all her cargo, and • appeared uncertain as to whether she should come on to Fiji or return to New Zealand direct. The Susannah Booth had left there for Sydney. Flour, tea, and sugar were very scarce and dear ; in fact, the settlers Avere almost out of supplies..

OUR COAL MINES.

The coal mines of the country, though attracting considerable interest in certain quarters, are not calling forth the energy and capital which they would appear to deserve. By the last mail from England we learned that the question of a coal supply for Great Britain was again seriouslj engaging the attention of scientific and practical men. The chance of a coal famine .was being discussed, while the relative proportion of supply and demand had caused higher quotations. It is im possible to shut our eyes to the fact that sooner or later, perhaps much earlier than is generally anticipated, the manufacturers in the home country may have to look for their supplies of coal outside Great Britain. Theresultof ibis, and its benefit to New Zealand it is difficult to over-estimate. Iron and coal have been said to have caused England's greatness, and if such is the case the future before this colony is indeed a brilliant one if its resources are developed, aud a trade in them established Avith the mothef country. It is therefore peculiarly interesting to note the efforts made in the direction of the develop ment of. our coal mines. A paper on this subject, recently laid on the table of both branches of the Legis lature, and compiled by Dr. Hector, is most instructive. Reports on the various coal fields are given, with lithographed sections, showing the work ings at several mines, and a table giving analyses of the different coal seams in the colony is appended. Dr. Hector states that he has excluded from this table all -y^alyses of c«al not of practical iropor ■'«} that "where several analyses h&\y etl ojade of coals from the same dirTimcTorlocality they are arranged ac cording totheir relative value, obtained by calculating their evaporative power, or the number of pounds of boiling water, which should be evaporated by lib of each kind 'of coal," Erom the table we learn that in the Province of Auckland nine seams of coal in various localities have been dis covered, varyiDg from six to eighteen feet in thickness; in Wellington one, mentioned as " a thick seam ; in Nelson, twelve seams, also varying from six to eighteen feet in thickness; in Canterbury, coal has been found in the Malvern Hill district and at the Amuri. Respecting the former there are stated to be '* extensive, but detached, areas of brown coal, which in many cases bave been altered to a valuable steam coal by the influence of igneous rocks, and are distinguished as glance coals; seams 2. feet to 8 feet thick, •n micaceous Mid argillaceous shales,

Mines have been opened in brown coal on tne Hawkins River, and in the glance coa] or. the Selwyn Eiver, and the EJowhai -Kiver ; worked irregularly since 1862. The composition of the glauce coal varies, according to the proximity of tlie igneous rock which has affected it; seams of un altered brown coal occurring 25 feet under dolente rocks." In Westland coal is found m two districts, in Otago in five, andfcin bouthland^n nine. We thus learn that m forty different places, scattered over the colony, from the far north to the extreme south, coal has been found, and from this fact, we may fairly draw the inference that vast seams have still to be discovered. The wealth which the colony possesses in this mineral can hardly be calculated, and when we remind our readers of the capital which the working of the mines will ineA'itably attract, the population it will draw to the colony, the trade in coal which must follow, and the general increase to the business of tho colony which it must cause, they will be able to gain a faint idea of the importance to be attached to the practical development i of the coal resources Jof the colony.—Wel lington TEveyiing Post.

j WORKEPvS' WORK-HOURS, ETC. ! ( (To the Editor of the Evening Star.) j SiE, —The almost simultaneous movement throughout the British dominions and in j parts of America for shorter time at labour, or for more pay, or both, for the industrial, is among the remarkable social phenomena of the present age. But that which is to many people surprising and most interesting in the agitation alluded to, is the fact that the poor, able, laborious agricultural serfs of England have somehow managed to J get on to the stream. Surely it Avas j high time for them to make a move, for truly they have been down-trodden. Per I latest report it appears that a distinguished I Bible reader helped them to it. That is, I think, most likely. I foresee that great good Avill come of their stirring. The two sepa rately moved problems of higher Avages and of shorter time for labour, are ultimately re solvable into one ; for in most cases, with out increased Avages and with shorter time, it is as good as—in some instances better, than—more pay. When the minimum of pay is above the mere bread-and-cheese rate, the reduced time of application to Avork is ecpiivalent to increased wages, and Avhen wages are very good, more than eqimr alent ; forasmuch as the very best things existent money caimot buy — these things are more in number than the thought less imagine. Besides, extreme labour excessively draAvs on the fountain of life, and most certainly money cannot keep off death. The object of life has been a theme of the greatest and best thinkers and Avriters. It is a Avorthy theme. Why, Avhat for are Aye put on tliis globe earth for short while ? I see by our neAvspapers that the bakers and the blacksmiths have lately been on the move in Auckland. I suppose the bakers should have two fours instead of eight continuous consecutive hours. Generally, and in nearly all vocations, there must of course be accommodation in order to harmony, to obviate a hitch, and to prevent a creaking dangerous friction of the Avheel and axle of trade ; as, for instance, in cases of night work being necessary ; but, then, this alleged necessity does certainly not of itself imply an extra number of hours. It is commonly said necessity has no law ; and, so again, over time may be occasionally demanded for a pressing emergency ; but this does not alter the standard eiglt ; nay, it clearly implies a reference to it, per very meaning of the term. With trade " good-Avid" obtaining, no difficulty would ever arise from any such occasional inevitable emergency. With that good-will "give and take" is you knoAv the customary rule. Waterside Avorkers at London, I know, often find it expedient to work sometimes four, sometimes fourteen hours per diem. But this is irregular and undesirable if necessary. Clerks, with their artificial labour, generally find five hours a-day sufficient. Builders and their sensible imitators throughout these Austral colonies secured the right thing fifteen years ago. Science says men should divide their diurnal existence by three, and live and proceed accordingly. Well, three times eight are twenty-four — the twenty four. Eight hours solid work; eight hours eating, drinking, cleaning, reading, playing — recreation — living ; and eight hours perfect oblivion, sleep '' tired nature's sweet restorer balmy sleep." Nine hours real physical work per day is an infringement on nature's IaAV. Engagementtoo many hours for the employed ultimately redounds to the material injury of society. lam accordingly sorry to see no mark of finality about the recent movement of artizans and labourers in England for bettering their condition. In this thing the builders of Austral Asia are right.—l am, &c, W. E. Sadler.

Mosgiel Tweeds, Of Otago manufacture, are now in demand, in the London market. They are a decided novelty, and of excellent quality ; and yet at a distance of 16,000 miles from the place where they are produced, and from the people whose interest and profit it is to prefer the home production to the imported article, their excellence is discerned and appreciated before we bestow even a passing notice on the child of our own industry. Truly a Prophet hath no honor injhis own country ; but it is not " colonial" to " sneeze at" a profit. The time has come when the nether extremities of every New Zealand man and hoy should be.clothed in stuff of the home product^!. Samuel Coombes has just received a parcel of the above Tweeds from the manufactory, and not only hopes that they will be extensively sought for, but expects every public spirited man to "go in" for at leastone pair of Mosgiel Tweed Trousers.
