sure to resign if requested to do so by the committee. A country^ teacher finding that; the personal habits of his charge were not so clean as he could wish gently hinted the necessity of their being provided with small tooth-combs. A storm of personal abuse ■was the consequence, and he was obliged to place his resignation in the hands of an in dignant committee. —A parent attended one of our schools and desired that his child m iffht he learnt grammar. The teacher said he°endeavoured to do his best, but that all the rules of Lindley Murray would not make the boy speak correctly if he was constantly hearing bad English spoken. This was taken as a direct insult to the settlement, and resented accordingly—children were removed from the school, and the masters dismissed, threatened on the ground of his ignorance.—Another teacher received a note delivered "by hand," enclosing these words : " Give bearer a good thrashing," and because the master did not consider himself a thrashing machine, a storm of opposition was Taisecl because the teacher was incompetent, &c.

THE NEW ARMAGH AND PROJECTED AUCKLAND CATHEDRALS.— ST. PATRICK'S VISION.

The Catholics of Auckland are about to begin a work which the Catholics of Armagh have just completed—the building of a National Cathedral. It may interest your readers, whether Catholic or Protestant, to know something about the new Armagh Cathedral, which in August last was with all the pomp and circumstance of the Catholic Ritual pre scribed for such occasions, dedicated to St. Patrick, the Patron and Apostle of Ireland —as the new Auckland Cathedral in due time will be dedicated. The ceremony must have been grand and imposing in the extreme, and a source of joy not only to the Catholics but to all the Irish people, without distinc tion of sect or party, for the papers tell that even the bells of the old—once Catholic but now Protestant Cathedral of Armagh— actually rang out a joyful peal on the occasion. The whole town was one scene of harmonious rejoicing, not one indication of ill-feeling in any quarter marred the pleasure of the crowds which the ceremony attracted. The Cathedral was designed and in part built so long ago as 1841. Then for a period of seven years the works were suspended. On their resumption the style of architecture was changed. These changes we are told have added to the boldness of the outline as well as to the grandeur and picturesqueness of the Cathedral. So our Auckland friends need not be disappointed if their Cathedral too should occupy some years in the building. Let us hope that when completed they will have something " bold, picturesque and grand" to shew in the way of architecture ; something which shall be worthy of their creed, and of the capital of their province. To judge from what they have already done m providing the necessary funds during the past eighteen months there does not seem _g be much reason to fear anything on the score of finances for the future. At the dedication of the Armagh Cathedral no less than fifteen Archbishops and Bishops officiated, in presence of a Prince of the Church, Cardinal uillen, attended by nearly five hundred pnests. The unavoidable absence of Arch bishop Manning was deeply regretted. At -he conclusion of the ceremony a collection Was made, amounting to the extraordinary total of £7000. The collectors were two noblemen and several members of Parlia ment.. The building of this cathedral is con sidered "a great event in the history of Roland, and full of hope for its future." May we ere long have to say that the building of S +w-Anckland Ca&e.dral is a great event Zl . j,ory of this province, and full of bope for the future of Nijw Zealand. Tbe **▼• Isaac Moore, a Jesuit, preached » eloquent sermon at the dedication.

one striking sign of which is witnessed in the openmg of this new Armagh Cathedral. Mr. Gladstone in his great oration on the dises tablishment of the Irish Church mentioned that, so far from its converting the Irish Catholics to the Protestant creed, the popu lation of Catholics had increased and was increasing in Ireland every year. St Patrick's vision is fulfilled. -New Zealand Tablet.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

This day. Thomas Baillie was arrested yesterday in the Kuranui mine, on a charge of stealing 15 lbs. of specimens. He was brought up at the Police Court to-day and remanded till to-morrow. Bail was refused.

Baillie has been working in the Kuranui mine for the last four years, and enjoyed the fullest confidence of manager as a trust worthy man. His arrest arose out of a con fession with a youth, John Robinson, recently charged with a breach of the Quartz Crush ing Act.

The Old Whau mine is looking splendid. They got 3GO lbs of rich picked stuff this morning. Dixon's crushed 30 tons for 37 ozs 17 dwts melted gold. The Alburnia have obtained the use of the Rose and Shamrock tunnel, and are to work from it and crush at the Ballarat and Clunes battery. This will greatly assist the progress of the Alburnia. Much satisfaction is felt at the use of tne tunnel being so readily granted by Dixon's and the Rose and Shamrock Companies, which it is expected will put the Alburnia on payable stuff immediately.

FLIGHT OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE ANAZI.

Early this morniug it Avas rumoured about that Captain Holman, of the Anazi, had dis appeared from his vessel. The rumour turns out to be true, for it is now reliably stated that the captain sailed in the Star of the South last evening for Levuka. Speaking from a number one point of view this step was the best Captain Holman could have taken; but it remains to be seen whether he will, as he hopes to do by this means, escape the liabilities incurred by the late trial. We understand that neither the costs of Mr Hesketh, who defended him so ably, or those of Mr Brookfield, the Crown solicitor, have been paid. In the former case the omission is very ungrateful, as not one lawyer in ten could have got him offso well with the scanty material that preseuted itself out of which to build up "a defence. Yesterday after noon a warrant was granted against Captain Holman for assaulting the second mate on the night when the vessel grounded. Per haps the late vigorous measures taken in the case of Mr. Doraw'ell have had something to do with the sudden deteimination to skedaddle, but other inducements were not wanting^ He had obtainted restoration of his certificate, and was consequently virtually acquitted on the charge brought against him, but it was quite open for Captain Pether bridge, on behalf of Messrs Shaw and Savill, to have suspended or even discharged him from the post of command. We understand that it was Captain Petherbridge's intention to have exercised this authority, and already a hint had been jjiven that it would be advisable for Captain Holman to resign. Acting upon this hint the Captain bade good bye to his friends last night, and without parading his intentions quietly vanished. It will be a matter for Messrs Brookfield and Hesketh to consider whether it will be worth their while to try and recover. We have heard it is Captain Holinan's wish to proceed to England from Levuka. It is possible that the Board of Trade may interfere in the matter and put a veto oh his obtaining another ship.

Gentt/embn,—As an elector of your district I beg to offer myself as a candidate for the Seatrendered vacant by the retirement of our lute respected if pre gentativo, Mr Clarke, and although unable to claim yonr gnppoit for past services 1 look bacfc with satisfaction to having formed one of a deputation which was appiilnted^at a putllc mooting hold at Papakura in the eanf **? s of Mr Giiw Snporm tendency to ur K e upon the i^r™"" 11. 4, the vigorous, prosecution of the Auckland ana W»i*ato Railway: This important line, ai you are well awu.. vo' ! low *?, course of construction, and yesterday the " iroZ norse made his first trip into the garden of o v f district. Firstly, then, ns_ regards the Colonial policy. Should you honour me with your confidence I shall support the present Government in carrjiig out the various railway lines already accepted by the Legislature, and in the evont of thc:o pioving payable would further assist it in extending them as far as Wellington in the North Inland, and from the Bluff to either Picton or Nelson in the South. Yo\i will at once perceive the benefit of such a line when I add that assuming this work to be undertikeu Auckland, from her geographical position and unrivalled haTbour, must assuredly become the terminus in N ew Zealand of the Fiji and San Francisco steamers, as passengers and mails cou'd then be forwarded to and from Otpgo in a couple of days or so by rail, when they cannot at present anive, by sea, in less than five days. I shall support any motion for the thorough overhaul of tUo Immigration Department, including the class of vessels employed, and for the planting of special settlements throughout this proviuco, which I always understood was to have been a cardinal point of Mr Vogel's scheme. While fully alive to the delicate nature of our re lations with the Maori race, as an inhabitant of New Zealand, and consequently a subject of tee same Queen, and living under the same laws as the natives, I cannot conscientiously bring myself to believe (and I think history wJU bear me out in the assertion) that in the case of heinous crimes, or the most suitable route for a railway or telegraph line, the laws passed by the representatives of both races in Parliament assembled should be t'-istirtcd to suit the conve nience of any section of tho community, be it white or black. At tho same time we ought to be t'riankfnl for peace if not purchased at too great a sacrifice of money and self-respect. Providing the revenue to admit of it I shall sup port a moderate subsidy for tlie projected sub-marine cable between our colony and Australia. I shall strenuously oppose any tax upon what is generally termed the necessaries of ?'fe, and although fully alive to the importance of manufacturing in dustries, when in conjunction with ?g;iculture, as the surest foundation upon which to build up a great nation, X am convinced, after mature consideration of this vital subject, that the so-called protection to native industry merely results, as witnessed at present in the United States and Victoria, in raising the cost of living of the whole community for the benefit of a few manufacturers and their friends. While con curring in griming bormsses to encovrage certain in dustries, still in the long run I believe New South Wales will be found correct, and that the best policy for a young country like ours to pursue, nccc:sarily handicapped by dear money and dear labour, will be found in exporting : s much raw material, whether in the shape of wool, wheat, gum, flax, timber, or gold, as we can lay our hands upon, and impoiting as little as possible from our neighbours. Lst us pursue this policy, and private enterprise, when'later on in our history it is supported by abundant and cheap skilled labour, will very soon establish industries, which will return a fair interest upon the outlay, un subsidised at the expense of the bone and sinew of the colony. I further approve of all port charges upon shipping being reduced to a minimum, Eegarding the vexed question of Education, while advocating this being made compulsory I believe also in liberty of conscience: and here arisen the stumbling-block in a community divided as we are into so many different reJ'gious creeds, I think I am correct in assuming that the Catholic section of the people are debarred by their faith from accepting any compromise in this matter, and that even supposing that the Bible was excluded from our Common Schools parents would still object to send their children to receive instruc tion there. Tho only solution of the Question then that I can see is the following :—Make our Common Schools of two classes —the one Protestant, to include all sects, where siy a chapter of the Bible will be read without comment thereon each morning at opening, and the other CathoHc, to be presided over by Catholic instructors. I know many would object to this upon the ground of class legislation, or legislating for a minority, but to compensate for this, ! and judging from the views lately expressed by Father M orris at the Thames touching the Education Tax, I think our CathoMc fellow-colonists would not object to pay a moderate iucrecsed percentage for Education if permitted on the other hand to have the training of their youth in their own way. As at present they are compelled by the law to contribute £1 a year, and then are debarred from making any use of the schools provided, so that if the foregoing plan was adopted I bil'.eve an Education Act could bo passed next ses:ion which would prove satisfactory to aU concerned. I would suggest to the Government the advisability of establishing a Ea".way Passenger's Accident In surance Company ci in England, so that for a trifling yearly outlay a person cov'd make piov'sion for his fanrly in the event of death or being seriously injured while in a train. I shall endeavour, in conjunction with the other Northei-i members, to impress upon the '.Government the immediate necessity of re-adjusting the flccal burdens of the colony, so that the weight of t-.xation may fall more equuably upon the two Islands than at present. I shall oppose Separation. I shall continue to oppose the Provincial Loaas Bill, a 11 believe it to be a distinct violation of ovr engagements with the London Stock Exchange, I shall support any measure for the preservation of our fo:c-ti and for planting nurseries. As regards Proiincial matters I shall sup-, port the subMd'sing of Itoad 80: yds and render every' assistance to thoroughly develop by tramway or other wise the coal and other mineral depc its of the Drury and Hunua districi s. I shall not cease to advocate the vital importance of the Thames Valley EiHway, as also a water supply for Auckland. The foregoing then, gentlemen, is my political faith, and while leaving it with confidence in your hands, will m«rely add ia conclusion that by her resources, het o'imate, and her geopraphical position, and after having visited most ol England's posse—ions, I firmly believe >'ew Zealand is yet destined to become the " Britain of the South," with the much maligned Auckland as her leading seaport. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, F. U. T&OTTP. N ° T * ~c ~ E- During my Husband's unfortunate sojourn at Mount Eden, I beg to inform his Customers that the busi ness will be carried on by me, and that Mr Alfred Bucl'Und will kindly supply stock of the best quality, which wH enable me to sell the choicest of meats at the most rersoiable piices, and on the release of Mr DornweJl, the bm'necs will receive his renewed and assiduous attention.
