ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

(From our London Correspondent.)

London, June 30, 1574, TEMPLE BAB IS TO C4O AT LAST.

No one ever wished to keep it save for its old associations, and if it had only held to gether it might probably have been permit ted to stand for ever. In these days people are tremendously conservative as regards old remains. But it seems the Bar is getting shakey, it foundations have been disturbed by the digging of drains, &c, and if it be not soon removed it is likely to come down with a crash and de molish an omnibus - load of people on some fine day. It has always been an awful hindrance to locomotion, it was never au object of beauty, and now it has become dangerous, so that those of your readers who are interested in the remnants of the past may make up their minds never to see Temple Bar any more. SUNDAY TRAINS. I don't know how you have settled your row about Sunday trains, but I saw a rather curious scene in a Metropolitan train the other day. It was Sunday evening, and I entered a carriage where sat a gentleman reading a book of travels. At the next station entered a gentleman and two ladies carrying prayer-books and tracts, and looking very sombre. Soon after starting the gentle man quietly placed one of his tracts upon the book of travels under the eyes of its owner. Taking the tract up, without looking at its title, the gentleman tore it into very little pieces, and threw it out of the window ; then turning to the donor and his companions he said very deliberately— " I suppose you are going to hear Mr . If so, let me give you something to carry with you. Without probably knowing it, you are deceiving yourselves dangerously. Ostensibly keeping the Sabbath you are forcing hundreds of your fellow-creatures, whose misfortune it is to be employed by you on the rail, to forego the one day of rest which God has given them. You invite them to go to His house when you know full well that for your sakes they have to collect tickets and drive engines. You are a mass of inconsistency, and deserve to be laughed at. For my part, without sharing your theories, lam disgusted with your practices." I never heard a more telling rebuke or one better given. Greenstj.se.

CHRISTCHURCH.

This day. A thunderstorm occurred on Friday night, •but was not heavy in Christchurch. Reports from the northern parts of the province, however, show that houses and other property were slightly damaged, but no lives lost.

It is rumoured on good authority that the Mayor of Christchurch intends, before the expiration of his term of office in November, to invite the Premier to a banquet.

CITY COUNCIL.

The ordinary fortnightly meeting of the Council was held this day. Some time was lost in obtaining a quorum. BIG MTJDDY CREEK QUARRY. Mr J. J. Symonds having forwarded the Council a specimen of stone from his quarry at Big Muddy Creek, with an offer to supply similar stone for paving purposes, at Is 2d for superficial foot, and for other purposes at 2s 6d per cubic foot. Councillor Macready moved that Mr Symon ds supply a sufficient quantity of the etoue to be laid down in a public path for a test of its quality. Councillor Prime seconded the motion, which was carried. A letter from the Secretary of the Harbour Board was read, enclosing the report of the Enddwment Committee as to the land from Custom-house-street to Fort-street. The communication was ordered to be acknow ledged. AN IMPRACTICABLE LANE. A communication from Messrs Williams, Saunders and Blair as to the lane at the back 'of their premises was referred to the City Engineer. THE GAS COMPANY. Some communications from the Gas Corn were ordered to lie on the table. WATERING THE STREETS. An offer from Mr Winstone to water the Btreets was ordered to be held over for the present. IMPROVEMENTS. The Streets Committee recommended several improvements, among others the making and draining of Hobson-street, and provided the inhabitants paid half the cost the re-kerbins* and asphalting the paths. The cost of this work was estimated at £9299. SjT'ra other improvements re oommeni*;,. "involved an additional out ay, kinging the total up to £12,229, o^t

of which sum drainage took up .-C5,322, and re-making the roads £0,007. It was moved by Councillor Prime, and seconder! by Councillor Buchanan, " That the matter stand over till next meeting." NEW BTJIXDINGS. Plans were approved of for new buildings on the Market Reserve, at the corner of Cook and Grey-streets. RE-KEKBING OF COMMERCE-STREET. The re-kerbing of Commerce-street was ordered in terms of the recommendations of the City Surveyor, provided that the Harbour Board pay half the cost. BACON" LANE. Mr Goldie's report of this neighbourhood was read, and disclosed a most disgraceful state of things in the midst of the city. The Mayor stated he had recommended Mr Goldie to use all his po .vers under the Act to cleanse the neighbourhood. A motion confirming the Mayor's injunc tions to Mr Goldie was passed. ACCOUNTS. Tbe usual fortnightly accounts were passed for payment. DEPOSITING NTC4HTSOIL, ETC. A proposed new regulation of the Council, authorising the deposit of nightsoil, offal and other offensive matter on the western portion of 'allotment 17 of section No —, in the parish of Titirangi was read and laid on the table. TKANSffEKBINGr SECTIONS. Councillor Holdship moved that the fol lowing sections be transfrrred from the miner area of the City Building Regulations to the outer area as shown on the plan, subject to the conditions hereinafter mentioned :—Sec. 1, between the sea, Char el, Victoria, and Hobson-streets ; 2, between Victoria, Albert, Cook, and Hobson-streets, 3, between Wake field, Symonds, Wellesley, and Eufcland streets ; 4. between the sea, Princes-street, Waterloo Quadrant, and Eden-street. Con ditions that the roofs of all the buildings hereafter erected shall be covered with slates or iron, and that the plans of all such buildings shall be approved by the Council. Councillor Macready seconded the motion. Councillor Macready said the resolution was a step in the right direction. Bricks were enormously expensive, and the original area over which it was unlawful to build wood was far too extensive.

Councillor Williams spoke against the motion. He did not see the utility of raisin? an efficient fire brigade if they con tinued piling up combustible material. The Mayor agreed with Councillor Wil liams. He characterised the movement as a retrograde one. Councillor Holdship spoke in favour of his motion. Tne original regitlation had been passed by the Provincial Council, the mem bers of which did not understand the re quit cments of the . city as well as'they did themselves. The motion on being put was carried by a majority of two. It was agreed that application be made to the Superintendent, that the dog fees be made over to the Corporation in like manner as had been conceded to the Thames Borough Council.

This was all the business

PARLIAMENTARY

Prorogation of Parliament.

Mr T. Russell goes to further arrange the Mail Service.

WELLINGTON.

This day.

Parliament was prorogued :tt three o'clock. In the House Mr Vogel announced that Mr Hussell was going to Sydney to re arrange the Californian service. Twenty-four members here present at the prorogation, but very few of the public, the day being wet. The Governor made an unuasually long prorogation speech. He anticipates great benefit from the Forests Act. Regretted they were unable to deal with the Polynesian Question dnring the session. He said the re-establishment of the Califor nian service in conjunction with New South Wales would have the zealous attention of his advisers. He considered the session a memorable one on account of the abolition resolutions. He hoped the projected change would be effected with the least possible inconvenience.

INQUEST.—This Day.

Ak inquest was held this afternoon, at the Greyhound Hotel, before Dr. Philson, coro ner, on the body of William Gribble. Mr Joseph Osborne, foreman. The first witness, David Gouk, deposed that he was a shipwright of Custom-house street, and had known deceased during the last seven years in his trade. His age was 36, and he lived in Lome - street. He leaves a widow and seven children. On Saturday morning, at seven o'clock, he was with Gribble on board the Clematis ketch, lying in the stream, and was assisting to unship a centreboard. The unshipping was conducted by a winch like that of a well. He offered assistance, but decoased said he could manage it himself. The centre board weighed about a ton ; there was no pall to prevent the windlass- running back. He went for a marlinspike, and told deceased not to lower until he returned. When he came back he found that deceased had lowered the centre-board two or three turns. He warned deceased that it was too much for him, and he would help with the other handle. He replied, "I can manage it, Davy," which were the last words he spoke. He was struck down the next moment. He ran up to him, and saw his head open and exclaimed, "Oh God, Bill 1 You are killed. He was insensible, and did not reply, but tried to raise his hand to his head, but he prevented him. He got him ashore, to the " Sailors' Home," and the mate of the vessel went for a medical man ; two arrived in the space of half an hour, dressed his wounds and recommended his removal to the hospital, but his friends wished that he should be taken to his own residence in Lome-street, and in accordance with their wishes he was taken to his home. Deceased was a sober man. Captain Moeller, Dr. Hooper, James Norris, and several other witnesses having given evidence, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."
