DUNEDIN.

This day,

A very sudden death occurred this morn ing at Tairei. Mr Stevenson, a very old resident in the province, was found dead. Cause not transpired. i.. ~■ . . At a special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday, the report brought up by the committee showed that under the ad valorem duties the receipts would be doubled. The meeting adopted the fol lowing resolution :-" That this Chamber invites the Otago members to secure this session more equitable adjustment of the tariff without increasing the tariff." Another motion was carried that the rates of per contages under the proposed ad valorem be fixed at a uniform rate.

Great disturbance occurred yesterday in connection with the sale of the Masonic Hall. Mr Hudson was the purchaser, and immediately put his* men in possession. A crowd of shareholders and others, armed with bludgeons and crowbars, forced an en trance through the doors and windows, and Hudson's men were forcibly ejected. The police subsequently interfered and stopped the row.

WELLINGTON

This day. New Issue of Government Debentures. The Government are offering for sale their new issue of 4 per cent, debentures, which is to amount to £50,000. The principal and interest on these loans are made payable in tho colony. £17,000 have already been taken up. The balance is to be allotted in order of application at the price of £90 10s per cent. Public Works' Statement. The Public Works Statement was well re ceived, Mr Richardson being a favourite with the House. Mr Bunny assailed the Public Works Statement chiefly on account of Provincial guarantee of land in the North Island, which would be thus locked up. Mr Vogel replied. The debate was then adjournod, and the House rose at midnight. Amendment of the Arms Act. The Arms Act Amendment Bill, for making where it is possible lighter penalties, passed the third reading. Native Reserves. The Natives Reserves Act Amendment Bill was read a second time., It applies only to 20,000 acres, chiefly in the Middle,lsland, bringing in a rental of £16,500. It does not apply to the 500,000 acres of unalienable: land, but only to lands specially set apart for reserve. In the Legislative Council last night a Bill for temporary appointments to the Upper House was thrown out. Medals for Colonial Forces. A telegram, received from the Agent- General, was read, stating that all the medals for the Colonial forces would be forwarded by the next steamer. The Wrecked Steamer Bangitoto. It is confidently believed that the Rahgi .toto will be raised, and afloat shortly. Divers aro at work, and the weather has been continuously favourable. Auckland Improvement Bill in Com-

mittee. The committee is sitting to-day on the Auokland Improvement Bill. Mr Gillies ad dressed the House for one hour and a-half strongly against the measure. He represents the Mechanics' Institute and Temperance Hall as trustee. Evidence is now being taken.

The steamer Wellington starts at mid night for Auckland..

A VISIT TO MARINER'S CAVE.

Ok a recent visit of H.M.S. Dido to Vavau, one of the islands of the Friendly Group, some of her officers visited a very remarkable cave. The party proceeded in a boat to the small island of Hoonga, distant about seven miles from Neiafu.

On arriving at the island the native girls allowed us the exact spot where the entrance of the cave was. Wo took the boat in as dose a3 possible to the rocks, and there anchored her in five and a half fathoms. We could see the entrance of the cave about seven1 feet under water. One of the natives jumped overboard and disappeared through .the aper ture, one of our party closely following him. They both reappeared in about seven or eight minutes, and told us that it was all, clear. Thon three others belonging to our party jumped overboard and dis appeared through the aperture, two out of the three arriving in the cave without mis hap, but the third unfortunately got jammed iv the entrance among some rocks, and had it not been for the timely assistance of a na tive he must have been drowned. To get into this cave one has to dive first of all about eight feet deep, and then from twenty to twenty-five feet horizontally. This cavern, commonly called the Lovers' Cave, is a magnificent sight; it is as near as I could judge about seventy feet long, 30 feet wide, and 70 feet high. It has a deep pool in the centre, the waters which is very salt, remarkably clear, and very phosphorescent. The pool is about fifty feet deep, and so clear that a person sitting ou the side of the cave can see every stone at the bottom, the water rises every minute some threo or four feet, causing a mist which fills the cave, disappearing as the water recedes in a most extraordinary man ner ; this mist is very painful to the eye. While a person is swimming in this water his head and shoulders appear to be quite black, but the part of the body immersed appears as white as snow. During the time you are entering the cave nothing is visible, > the passage through the rock being perfectly f dark until you rise to the surface inside ; but the case is different when returning to daylight, as it is quite light, enabling one to see the bottom and both sides of the passage, and the reflection of the boat outside. The cave is illuminated by light from the en trance reflected through the water, which give? ft the appearance, of subdued nlqonlight.

J The cave is bung all over with most beautiful stalactites, some dropping eight or ten feet; the sides are masses of stalagmite and rooks, affording seats to those who enter. This cave was first discovered by a young chief while pursuing a turtle. The legend of this wonderful cavern is as follows:—

A certain chief raised an insurrection against the ruling chief of Vavau. His plot was discovered, and he was condemned to be massacred with all Ins family. ;His daugh ter, a beautiful girl, was beloved by tho young chief that had discovered the cave," which he had kept a profound secret. He effected her escape at night, and con ducted her in a small canoe to the rock of Hoonga, where he leapt into the water instructing her to follow him, which she did, and thoy both rose in the cave. In this strange place he kept hisbetrothed for twelve months, bringing her food, etc., in the dead of night. To accomplish her release, this young chief persuaded is inferior chiefs to accompany him on a voyage to Fiji. A large canoe being prepared they put to sea. His people asked him, onleaving, if he would not take a wife with him, to which he replied, that he would pick one up out of the sea. Approaching the rock of Hoonga, he steered close in shore, and suddenly jumping overbo&rd, and disappeared. While the people in the canoe were debating as to what had become of him he reappeared with a beautiful female, whom they recog nised as her whom they believed had been put to death. They pursued their voyage to Fiji, where the young couple landed, and are living there now, to the best of my belief.

"I HOPE I DON'T INTRUDE?"

Whit's in a name ? Seemingly a great deal, if one may judge by the immense, fuss Mr Coster, manager of the Bank of ISeW Zealand at Christchurch, is endeavouring to make over that of "The National Bank of New Zea-: land." From the petition before me it appears that that gentleman does not at all object to the National transacting business in the colony, but seems to be afraid that the cashiers of the leviathan institution may some day, owing to the similarity of names, honour a cheque or draft drawn oti their more ancient rival, Well, all that I can say is by all means let them do so, Mr Coster. But wherefore was the Christchurch mana ger made the catspaw, and not some official in the head office here? Echo answers, ■"wherefore !"—As the newspapers say, it is always pleasant to be in a position to speak favorably of native talent or patient merit, and it is my pleasing privilege to-day to combine the two in the person of Mr U, JM. Luckie, editor of the Daily Southern Cross, Auckland—a member of the House of Re presentatives for Nelson City. To judge from his movements in the empire city Mr Luckio is evidently a firm believer in despot isms, A3 carried on by Ciesar, the Bona partes, or the Emperor of all the Russiaa. We learn that he, his idol Mr Vogel, and his shadow Mr Harrison, the sparkliug and able editor of the Independent, are making strenu ous efforts to get the first of these. appointed Auckland agent for the Auglo-AustraMi\ Telegraph Company, with the ulterior object of "gagging" the public as to what is transpiring in other parts of the colony ! Fortunately for us the manager does not see it • but let me offer these gentlemen the fol lowing bit of advice : pull the political wires to your heart's content, but don't tamper, I charge thee, with the electric ones, as they sometimes give forth very disagreeable "shocks." To Luckie aside (in, a stage whisper) I beg to recall Wolsey's advice to Cromwell, "Luckie, I charge thee, fling away ambition, for by it foil the angels. — The short paragraph in my last effusion touching the knighthood of Sir Charles Gavin Duffy has been the means of causing me to be inundated by settlers asking to know more of Sir Charles and his seemingly eventful history. Always anxious to satisfy the mental cravings of a hungry public, providing "I don't in trude, " or am requested to contribute (materi ally of course) to Mr Lusk's education tax, I at once in company with my faithful bottle green umbrella (very different of the gim cracks of the present day), waited upon the proprietors of the Evening Star and sug gested that if they would be good enough to lend me the columns their popular journal— I meant of course all the columns for one week—that I would endeavour in that time to write a condensed history of Ireland, from say 1840 to the present time, com prising a graphic description of the country, its industries, including the cultivation of the potato and cabbage plants, and its people, coupled with the names of Gavin Duffy, Smith O'Brien, and John Mitchell. The proprietors thanked me most heartily for my offer, but regretted exceedingly that they were not in a position to close ; and my correspondents will admit that they were not when I add that the Star has now three " specials" ab Wellington, each accompanied by a private secretary. Now, what other paper, I ask you, but the " Star" could stand that? In theatrical parlance the Editor is " starring" it in the provinces ! Paul Pry. w

Public Works Statement.

On tbe House resuming at half-past seven, tbe Minister for Public Works (the Hon. G. Richardson) moved for leave to introduce a Bill to Amend the Immigration and Public Works Act, 1872. He said that he would avail himself of the opportunity to make the annual statement as to the progress, of the public works. He thanked his predecessors (Mr. Ormond and Mr. Reeves) for their valuable information as to the position of various matters, and he said that through the arduous exertions of the officers (especially, Mr: Oarruthers and Mr. Blackett) the Go vernment had been enabled to perform their promises. The enormous work in preparing returns called for by members, almost stopped the ordinary work of the department during the last session. The tables appended to the statement had now been altered in form, with the view to save time by supplying such information as was denied last session. In connection with the North Island road works, the Government had en deavoured speedily to bridge all the larger and move dangerous streams on the lines of road ordered to be constructed. Natives had been employed on roads wherever possible..Tbey bad worked faithfully, and at moderate rates, and the desire to enter into contracts was spread ing amongst them. Mr. Katene, had general charge of the works in the>pper portion of tho distriot'north bf Auckland, and the Pro vincial Government bad taken charge of tbe expenditure of £10,000 in the more imme-, diate neighbourhood of Auckland city. Armed Constabulary had done work during -the year amounting to £2620. The amounts expended in the several provinces during fte year, were-Auekland, £35,555 2s sd; Taranaki, £17,694 lis 9d; Hawke's Bay, £8007 9s sd; Wellington, £32,047 6s sd; making a tota of £93,804 10s. Tlie total expenditure out of (he North Island road fund up to the end of the year was £215,789 10s, divided thus: -Auckland, £66,395 9s 4d; Taranaki, £37,608 6s 9d ; Hawke's Bay, £30,95b 9s la; Wellington, £79,081 13s sd, and unappor tioned £1747 Us sd. The liabilities for con tracts in hand at the end of the year, were :■- Auckland, £35,934 18a U j T&moaki, £mi

16s 7d; Hawke's Bay, £8972 10s; and Wellington, £24,424 ls 10?. There was thus a total of £290,752 16s 9d expended or appor tioned, leaving £109,247 33 3d out of the £100,000 voted. The allocation of that sum was, however, subject to a balance ot £43,270 13s sd, out of the £60,000 set aside last session for roads north of Auckland. £290,752 16s 9d, represented 1141 miles of dray road, and 470 miles of horse road opened or in progress. Patea, Waiottirn,; and Whenuakura bridges, on West Coast, and several other large ones, would be completed during financial year. The bridge on the Manawatu Gorge would be made suitable for railway purposes, and it was hoped that by tho end of the next summer there would be : a good traversable road from Wellington to Napier and Wanganui. The Scandinavians had done much good work on tins road. On the Nelson South-west Goldfields, £26,652 19s 9d had been expended during tho year, and the out-standing liabilities [Continued on page 4.]
