Honor Mr Beekham is most unfortunate. That gentlemen's impartiality in his de cisions is so well known as to need no defence. He no doubt saw through the flimsy pretext of Mr Inspector Broham, the results of whose application has fully proved his Honor's astuteness. Mr Mr Inspector Broham may well ex claim, save me from such, friends as "TViwn Hall Mouse." The very re specta^ 1 -^ young woman who so interested Mr Br^aam, and who has been spirited away b_> one of the genus homo, was as well kaown for the last three to four years to the police as any unfortunate peripa tetic in Queen street. Yours, &c, T. H.

I which, you have sarcastically and. wittily twitted, recently asked for a definition. The simple answer is : revenue from a thousand sources other than from articles of trade ! ( Any interference, for so-called " duty," j with buying and selling, an undeniable violation of free trade, — a self-evident, insidious wrong •. but, if indirectly taxed, I why, then, there appears no help for it, ! we must, in some way or shape or form, ! go in for virtual protectionism. Keci- , proeity is a bore. Nations fight with j tariffs and about tariffs. Many seem to have brought hither with them the accursed antiquated European notions, as to legitimate source of revenue, &c. —I have not even clapped eyes on farmer Andrews, of South Road, these latest two or three years, but was wont to reckon him a liberal politician and eloquent conversationalist, and own I was, at first, somewhat surprised at some of his recently reported utterances in public; but now it is supposed the foregoing is partly explanatory. He asks for a news paper to his own cheek ; were he to get it I suppose he would soon find it out to be —the old " white elephant." Notwith standing, for a colonist his brave boldness is truly admirable. I am, &c, W. E. Sadler. Upper Parnell, . Monday night.

MEDICAL PRACTITIONER

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —I am surprised at the question raised by " Fair Play," viz., " whether any chemist may setup as a practitioner?" as a short time back it was admitted by public apology that a midwife is a member of the medical profession; if so, why not a chemist? I am, &c, Phabmaceutist.

To the Editor of the Evening Siae. Sic, —In reply to " Fair Play's" inquiries respecting the practice of medicine by chemists, I beg to refer him to the Medi cal Practitioners' Act of September 3, 1869.

The law is of course the same for the followers of any doctrine, whether All opathic or Homoapathic, and. a duly quali fied homeopathic practitioner holds ex actly the same kind, of diploma or title as a certificate of possessing a medical education, as any other physician or sur geon, simply with the knowledge of homeo pathic therapeutics superadded. Mr. , the person evidently al luded to, originally a weak seedling of a homeopathic chemist's assistant, trans planted to this hemisphero, vegetating for some time unobserved in the bush, then removed to the clayey soil of Auckland, arrived at full maturity in the heat of the present summer, and breaks out a full grown and full-blown practitioner, with consulting rooms, gold-headed eaiie, etc., complete. "Whether the plant is orna mental or useful it is difficult to decide. However by thus impudently assuming a title and status, for which he has not the Blightest medical qualification, he makes himself liable to be prosecuted and punished in a summary way by the infliction of a fine not exceeding £50. It is expedient for any one to test the case by application to the Police Court. I am, &c, F. A. Haktmann, M.D. Princes street, January 19.

ROWING CLUB RULES

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, — The Secretary of the Auckland Bowing Club wants to know how I be came possessed of the idea that the Club had made a resolution, to the effect that amateurs should be considered to be those who do not earn their living by boat building —or something to that effect. No doubt it appears that I "jumped at a conclusion," when I accepted the Herald's report of the meeting on the 10th instant as being a full and correct one of the proceedings, But I certainly think that anyone reading that report, cannot fail to perceive that if I hare not copied the words, I have certainly extracted the sense.

fr No one can read it without coming to the conclusion that the club allow hard fisted mechanics to enter as amateurs and contend with soft-handed quill-drivers, whom every one of moderate intelligence will see ought to be arranged in a different class. If the club has not yet defined who are to be considered " amateurs" and who " professionals," it is high time they did so, and as the originator of the club, and a permanent honorary member as so con stituted by special resolution, I recom mend them to attend to this if they desire to achieve the success a movement of the kind deserves. I am, &c, The Old Oaesman.

FREE TRADE.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —You are well aware that there has been of late a vast deal said and written about free trade and protectionism ; and with reference to the different policies so designated a farmers society has been manufactured, I know that, with myself, you have declared much of the disserta tion adverted to rubbish, Will you per mit me to say it has seemed to me that scarcely any one in these Australasias has appeared to understand free trade, I can not even conceive how any one can stand to a nominal advocacy of so-called free trade, whilst defending the Custom House institution. Yet many have tried it on, and do stick to it. The simple truth is, as I apprehend it, the very existence of a Custom-house, with all vvhich it neces sarily or rather conventionally implies, is a gross violation of the very fundamental principle of perfect freedom of commerce. So that, with this view, I can consistently afford to sympathise and go with the diametrically opposite parties of these free traders, as far as they go, and with the protectionists under peculiar circum stances ; forasmuch as, if the Custom house of these nominal free-traders remain, then the so-called protectionists are largely right. I cannot see how bastard free traders can successfully meet them at all points. After the battle of Waterloo, Jersey Island, situated in a French bay, belonged to the English, but retained inde pondenfc government. For more than fifty I ars Jersey has had free trade proper ; «..•) " duty " on main articles of trade. Best Cognac brandy tenpence the imperial pint, &c, and consequently no drunkenness, except among the casual visitors from old over-taxed countries. Corn the same. That island is prosperous. " Duty "on staple articles would seem to be a two-fold evil—secresy in mulct and consequent liability to corruption, and incalculable hindrance to trade. But I must not en large. There is manifest, here, prevalent ignorance as to what is free trade and what is protectionism ; confessed in fact the other day at a public meeting as sembled. The farmers' protection league,
