MB MACKAY AND THE HAXJHAUS

NGAIiUAWAHIA.

This day. Mr Muit .Douglas, of Tamahere, met with an accident, beiug thrown from his horse at Cambridge. His arm was severely fractured and the •elbow dislocated.

A meeting of natives was held yesterday at Karikiraki, those present being principally from "Raglan. Mr Mackay was present, and told them to remain quiet, and have nothiuc to tlo with Hauhaus.

There is some truth in the statement made .■iiome time back that the natives meant mis •chief. Tawhiao stopped their proceedings. Some Hauhaus were present at the meeting. Mr Mackay told them that if another Pakeha or friendly was killed there would be no parley, but tho Government would fight at once, and as the first thing would take Kawhia.

THE CALEDONIAN.

CENTRAL ITALY CRUSHING. GRAHAMSTOWNv : This day. The Caledonian manager reports that they broke down some more gold iu'the seam, which is not looking so well behind, but still shows gold. Gas is up in the mine just now. Water was turned down Tookey's shaft to drive %he gas back into the Caledonia n. One miner in No. 4 winze had a narrow escape. ■ ■ ■'■ The manager and five men made several ineffectual attempts to rescue him, bub at length found that he had crawled but of the winze and up into a hole, where he was barely out of the influence of the gas. The Company, doubtless, exclude visitors to-day. Italy.—Gs tons stone yielded 67 ounces, the best crushing ever taken out of the mine. Albon (Kelly's tribute) crushed 25 tons, which yielded eight ounces gold. The Moanatairi cut a new leader on the 70 feet level, alongside of a slide.: ; The stone looks well. No gold is yet seen, but there is a considerable flow of water.

In taking a glance what a good sewing machine ought to be it must be borne in mind that the same principle that guides us in/the proper proportioning of a steam engine or .any other piece of linaohinery applies equally to ■•>. sewing machine, which may be stated as follows :—Get the required motion as simply as possible, have as few moving parts as possible, have all bearings large t enough to do the work without cutting up the rubbing surfaces, and lastly, all the various parts must be so propor tioned as to be sufficient to perform the work and no more. There is per haps no class of machinery taken as a whole in which these most important principles are so often set aside as sewing machines, which perhaps arises from the necessity of avoiding the. infringing o f the almost countless patents. The successful lock-;ititch machines of the present day may bo divided into two classes—the shuttle and the rotatory hook-machines. There can be no doubt but that the shuttle-machine has had its day, from the simple fact that the same object canjje attained quite as well with the rotatory hook-machine, and with so many less moving parts. For, while a good shuttle-machine has twenty moving parts, the rotatory hook-machine has only eight, and all "its movements are direct acting. The difference must be more apparent when" we consider that in ordinary working the sewing does about 400 stiches per minute, while perhaps only a tenth part of the power used in work ing the machine is expended upon the actual sewing, the remaining nine-tenths being con sumed in driving the machinary. Enough has been saicl'-tp illustrate the principle that ought to "guide a purchaser. Any further" particulars may be obtained at the agency of the Britannia sewingmachine, the fitting shop, Vulcan lane, where the machines of other makers can be seen and the principles com pared.—[Advt.] ' '

iWANTBD KNOWN, that (t V MTSS PENNAL has much Treasure in in , troducing to the public of Auckland the Most Useful i Lock-stitch Sewing Machine ever yet imported : PRINCESS OF WALES. This admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock stitch Machine yet invented. It is so simple that the | most inexperienced can operate it without any ' previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange ment by ordinary use. The range of application is practically unlimited : anything that can be worn or require stitching in a house can be executed on this Machine. The tension rarely requires regulating. From muslin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leather may be sown without change of needle or cotton, or alteration of tension The work is easily guided by.one hand, while the other is employed in turning it. When fixed on a. stand it can be operated by hand or foot at pleasure, and it is then as efficiont as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of domestic use, it can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, mantle making, stay-making, and tailoring. ENGLAND'S QUEEN. This remirkable Machine presents some entiroly new features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and mure varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its application to pViin sewing of every kind it exactly resembles the Princess of AVales, but it it can be instantly chanced without stopping the Machine to herring-bone stitching and to overseaming. Tin's is effected by simply turning a screw, and the width and length of the stitch arc regulated at pleasure. The arrangement permits of the .overseaming or herring-boning of any fabric whatever, and will bo found of immense value in the manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work. It se-ims where elasticity is required the stitch of this Machine is superior to every existing Machine. It is important to observe that all these advantages are obtained with the most perfect simplicity of construc tion. jtSTNote the address:-MISS PENNAL, Dress, Mantle-maker, and Machinist, West End Housk "Wakotield street.
