ignorant and the erring from a career jI drunkenness, but they have no influence with men of real intelligence, /"ood Templars iii their enthusiasm would \lose all the public - houses, on the principle that Thomas Cavlylc would destroy old institutions and venerable systems with out giving substitutes. When working men's clubs'were established in England there was a great discussion as to whether or not beer should be allowed at such places. It was finally decided in favour of beer, and accord ing to a letter from Mr Hodgson Pratt in the Times, recently, the experiment has been successful. Mr Pratt says :—"We watched this experiment of beer in clubs with anxiety, bat the success has been remarkable. In every club where it has been tried the number of members has been trebled or quadrupled, and men have joined who often drank too much at the public-house, but have never done so at the club. The pressure of the publican is absent, and there is the _ higher tone belonging to a self-managed institu tion, the members of which are elected. The result is that in most of the clubs where beer is supplied the average consumption is a pint and a-half or two pints per man per week." A club of this nature, where gymnastics, innocent amusements, books, and a mutual improvement and literary class could be combined to suit the varying tastes of young men would aid public morality, and tend greatly to check drunkenness among the people. —X.

CIVIL SERVANTS.

Thb following is a copy of the opinion of the Attorney-General as to the right of the Civil Servants to pensions. (Laid on the table of the House in reply to a question by Mr Swanson.) : — Questions submitted to Attorney-General : 1. Have officers the right to claim pensions unless the Governor desires to superannuate these? 2. Can the Government demand from officers who are in the receipt of pen sions that they shall return to their former appointments, or to other appointments ? Opinion : 1. Yes; see sections 32, 23, 37, of the Civjl Service Act, 1866. It is im perative that he retire at the prescribed age; but the Governor may (see section 34) re quire him to continue, if, though of the pre soribed age for retirement, he is able in health to continue. (See section 38.) Section 30 specially provides that if able he is fco continue, and if he will not he forfeits his "right"to superannuation. 2. Yes ; see section 36 of the Civil Service Act, 1866. Tender the previous Act, viz., the Acts of 1858 and 1861, there are not similar provisions, and unless the officer claims his pension under the Act of 1866 those provisions do not apply. If the pen sion is claimed under the Acts of 1858 and 1861, and the officer claims the pension solely on the ground of length of services and age, and net on the ground of ill health, then the officer cannot be called upon to re turn after the pension is granted, or to con tinue, though his claim is admitted ; or rather I should say that the spirit of the Act of 1858, section 5, specially prevides for the return of an officer who gets a pension for ill health, and has no such provision as to the officer who retires on the ground of length of service and age only. It is to be remarked that the Acts of 1858 and 1861 are not so strong in favour of the claims of the officers to pensions as the Act of 1866. The latter Act nowhere uses any language that does not admit the claim to be "a right." Nevertheless the Act in the previous sections speaks of the officers as "entitled." On the whole I think it against the intention of the Legislative to force an officer to resume work who has obtained a pension on the ground of length of service only.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Dr Homo Justice of the Peace.)

STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS,

Four stout hale fellows, who bore the names of Louiß, Wilson, John Williams, John Jones, and Johnny Reilly, pleaded guilty to being drunk last night and were fined 5s each. A DESERTER. Barnet Blauckiasugh was brought up charged with a breach of the Merchants' Shipping Act by deserting from H.M. ship Blanche on the 7th June last. Prisoner said he would plead guilty under certain circumstances, but he was really not gnilty. Mr Broham asked that this case might be remanded to Wellington, where the Blanche was now lying. Prisoner was accordingly remanded, and will be sent down by the Luna. A CHILD AMOira BOTTLES. Mary Ann Hunter, a girl nine years old, the daughter of very respectable parents, was charged with stealing a number of medical bottles, the property of Messrs Kempthorne, Prosser, and Co. Mr Broham said that as the child has been locked up for some time he would ask that the case might be withdrawn. He believed the child had been well cared for and was being educated. Messrs Kempthorne and Co. were not willing to press the charge. HisJWership remarked that it would be a pity to send so young a child to Mount Eden, as the society in that retirement would not be calculated to improve the girl. The charge was withdrawn. THB ANTONTA CASE. Samuel Antonio, a dark man was again brought up on a charge of attempting to murder Sarah Ann Powell, a fine young Woman with whom he has been living. Mr Broham wished for a remand as the police were aot prepared to go on with the cose. Remanded Hntil to-morrow. £hiß closed the business.

THE SUEZ MAIL

The Luna which arrived in the Maukau to day brought the Suez mail, but the bulk of the newspapers seem to have been sent by some other route. The following items are additional to any yet published in Auck land :— GREAT BRITAIN. July 10. The new Colonial offices, forming additions to (. 3 Foreign Office quadrangle, have been completed at a cost of £250,000. The Belfast mill workers continue on strike, and the number of men out is increasing. Both masters and men show a determined attitude.

Disturbances have occurred at Galata be tween Greeks and Jews. A Greek boy was killed and his body thrown into the sea. Order has been restored.

Frances Stewart, 72 years of age, who was convicted at the late session of the Central Criminal Court of having murdered her grandchild, was executed within the walls of Newgate on June 29.

Leicester Square, which has been trans formed and beautified by the munificence of Albert Grant, was publicly opened on the 2nd of July. Serious disturbances have occured in Corfu between the soldiers and the people, and twenty-five of the latter have been wounded. Severel shops were pillaged.

A fire has occurred at Tenedos, at which the British vessels stationed off Bashika rendered prompt and material assistance. Seven hundred and fifty buildings were re duced to ashes.

The Yen. Archdeacon Basil Jones succeeds Dr Thirlwell as Bishop of St. David's. The colliers' strike still continues. At a meeting of colliers' delegates held at Dudley, it was stated that the men connected with the Union, about 4,000 in number, have expressed their determination to remain out for a long time to come rather than submit to the reduction in wages insisted upon by the masters.

A number of the locked-out agricultural labourers have been marching from town to town in the Eastern Counties, with the object of collecting funds to support those on srrike.

July 4, being the Anniversary of Ameri can Independence, the Americans in London made holiday, and the American Minister was " at home " at his residence.

A survey has just been completed by Her Majesty's ship .Basilisk of the north-eastern shores of New Guinea. The survey is said to have estabiished the existence cf a new and shorter route between Australia and China.

FRANCE.

The new postal connection with America has been approved by the Assembly. Figaro, La France, and Le Soir, have been fined for reproducing from American papers passages from Eochefort's letter.

Mr Courbet, artist, has had his property sequestrated towards paying the expense of restoring the Vendome Column.

CEYLON.

Major-General Street, C.8., has assumed the command of the troops in Ceylon. The steamer Penasserim, homeward bound from Rangoon, and the ship Royal Family, have both been wrecked at Cape Guardafui.

The famine, or rather scarcity, may be said to have ceased. The crop prospects are generally all that could be desired.

SPAIN.

The Government has accorded a grand funeral to the remains of Marshal Concha. A public monument is to bo erected to his memory.

Strong Carlist bands are gathering about Santander, alarming the inhabitants, who have telegraphed for reinforcements, the garrison being weak. Should an attack bo made, the Spanish vessels will shell the approaches.

Don Carlos and the Princess Marguerita reviewed 18,000 men on the 3rd of July. Hazelden, an English merchant, has been captured by brigands.

THE MANUKAU LIGHTHOUSE.

This important addition'to our coastal safe guards initiates its period of usefulness to day at sunset. Mr Wilcox, late assistant light keeper at Tiri Tiri, has been placed in charge. The following is the official descrip tion of the new lighthouse, given in the New Zealand Government Gazette of the 30th July :—" Notice is hereby given that on and after the Ist September next a fixed white light, of the third order dioptric, will be exhibited from sunset to sunrise from a tower erected on the brow of the bluff forming the south side of the entrance to Manukau har bour, bearing from Paratutai E. 11 "15 south, distant 1£ of a mile, and in latitude 37 "3 30 S., and longitude 174 33 30 E., as measured on the Admiralty chart. The tower is 20ft. high, and the light will be 385 ft. above the sea level; and allowing 15ft. for the height of the observer's eye, it will be visible from seaward in clear weather at a distance of 26£ nautical miles, between the bearings of N. 13* W"., or N. by W.£W. nearly, and S. 74- E., or E. by S.ljS. A very narrow are of light will be observed however by the top of Para tutai when the light bears E.S.E.

"Note.—Masters of vessels should be cautious in approaching the Manukau in thick or foggy weather, for although the light, from its power and altitude, should be seen id clear weather at a distance of 26 miles, it will only be visible in thick weather at a considerably less distance. Bearings are magnetic and from seaward.
