THE NEW GUINEA EXPEDITION. Mr Mscleay, the leader of the ISew Guinea Expedition, states as follows his conclusions tased upon the results of his recent explora tion:— '{I am satisfied from my own observa tions and from what 1 have heard from pearl shellere and others who had visited vaii< us parts of the coast, that dread of the hostility fromth* natives need be cobar to the ex ploratunof New Guinea. The intercourse which has sprung up lately between people «igaged in pearl fishing and the black Papuans, from Bam proa to Deliverance island, shows that the hostility to strangers hitherta atcnbed to these people, is not in accordance with fact, while as to the yellow uihabitants of the east coast of the Gulf of Papua, their submission to the presence of Mr D'Albertis, their friendly conduct to the missionaries, their unsuspicious reception of tie Basilisk, and afterwards of the Chevert, proves that they have no antipathy to the Visits of foreigners. The real difficulties in toe way of exploration proceed from the climate and nature of the country. The low- Jyiig wooded swamps, which extend from the rf the Gulf of paPua westward to the ■uuJch boundary line, are not only unhealthy, Kit impenetrable ; and the interior of this, *M most interesting part of the island, can only be reached by finding some river which can be navigated throughout the wholeextent lit* enormous delta. The Fly, I believe, WUI be the river by which this may be elected. The difficulties in the way of exploration on the eastern side of the Gulf are considerably less. The country is more penetrable, the climate tolerably wealthy. The distance across the land is very small, and the ambition to ascend the great mountain range will be so stimulated by its proximity and apparent easiness, so t v We toay exPect soon t0 hear of tnis part 01 New Guinea being thoroughly examined. Already a party of three, consisting of the *T° Ci° r ' one of the taxidermists, and one of the botanical collectors of the Chevert expedi tion, has been formed to proceed to Port Moresby, jmd^l am told that a gentleman named Stoni, at presnt residing with Mr Macfirlane, the head of the mission here, is \ making preparations for the Mcent of iMount Owen Stanley. On the object oi settlement I may state that I am convinced, from what I have seen of the races inhabiting Ne^Guniea, that anything that would appear lit* a permanent occupa wonliLbe *iotetty%posed. Both races are xtreHiely Jeakug of their territorial rights, nd a war witli-either of them would be a enong matter/ The Papuans would make •yJWl*l*lß- *n<* determined enemies: c yelj^/ace, though not very for idable as fitting men, are very numerous, nd^it would; probably be found necessary lor the safetjof a settlement, to drive thou ands of the© poor^people away from their vrilagea, andplantations. lam desirous of Be«ng New^Gainea opened to civilization, and I shoddy be very sorry to see 'SZ* "TJ'Vi buil t ?n^nd undertake that taßk;biib7hope that until the Imperial wverniaeff judges the time for annexa tion to h ? e arrived, every effort will be made to dioourage such a planof settlement aa thafeprjected. a few. weeks ago in Sydney Any afctetpt of %_kmd must end in failure' o?S\a^ t"ruin ' 3nV erla^ edeath M TrlE -^^5 1^ t probably m exeit-.. i- J° uro Peans on P»rt filinfiSi" t^ 1 people set- Tj;'- \ s ■ '"■^^K.^heretbe natural pro othet, , »»i« plen;tifeL, V. ~ | J -, ) U 4 probably ar^, for i|vai|»' ■•;'.; -j ,;n»; 'it'owa wlieio to look

that ia a country, with such vast gigantic forests, there may be many vegetable pro ductions of great vajvtt', but that has not yet been flsoertained. But the idea of a parly of Englishmen settling in New Guinea for tSie putyose of cultivating the land is preposterous. All the labour required would haw-fed be imported, paid for, and protected., for asauredly no help would begot rom the natives. The black race could not c made to work, and the light-coloured eopie conld only be utilised under a system ot compulsion, which would never be tole ated in &. country under British protection.

OLD CATHOLICS.

(To the Editor of the Evbning Star.)

Sib, —With- ut wishing to continue unnecessarily the discussion on the Ola Catholic movement with tee Key Mr Hassard, I cannot refrain from expressing the satisfaction with which 1 rend his explanation of the remarks m-ide in his "paper,'' to which 1 took ex ception A rontrovtrsy on any topic conducted in sucu a temperate manner, and in a tpirit of mutual go .d feeling, cannot but be productive of some good. Mr H.ifcSird, I have no doub:, Will acknowledge, after tae ex ract which I gave in my previous letter irom a German jaier, th».t he unwiitiiicly exiggßr*ted the am unt ( f urogress the Old Catholic movtment haa rn^de in Ge-mnnj-. The uotupported testimony of «n iiTesp •ns!blecorresp!>nceDt. of a London newspaper cannt t wei^h agaitst ihe credibility of the German jou>n»l. lam gad 10 see that that instinctive love of fair play for evethitg but the Papacy, woich ail KnpUshmcn are supposed to possess, finds con genial soil in the breast of Mr Hassard, who, unhkn many ot his brother clergymen, condemns the tj-rranous scion of the German tJ-ovarnmeut in see;siiipc io destroy reiigious liberty in, and to poison tue morally of, their Dation. as a matter of c urge Mr Hassard differs with me as to the probability of the Koman Catholic chuich absorbing all tne other Chtigtian sects in course of time; but the reason he urged is a faLe one, though very commonly held by Pioiescanta. v'z : thai the Church is *'cor»tinu_lly making ftesh additionst) the Faith" No additions have been made to ifce Uathjiic Faith by the Cnurch, but in the exercise of her suasion as Teacher of the Iva'ioiis, she finds it necessary to frequently bring many minor matters of religion with greater perspi cuity and clcrneps befo-e the faithful, reminding them what is de fide really, and warning them of false beliefs When iho Church deilnes a doctrine which has been taddy believed as de fide since the days of the Apostles, she does not m&ke an "addition to the Faiih ;" if she oid, we might with equal grounds assert that the Council of JSice ureatea a new doctrine when it defiued tho £>ivinity of the Saviour. X must beg to reciprocate the kindly remarks of the Rev Mr Hasaard in concluding his letter, and i.o repeat an expression of the converted Hou. Colin Lindsay addressed to an Anglican friend—' Would tt.a« you, too, could see the Truth and enter that one true Ark of God, which alone, can retist the biilows of that terrible flood of scep:icisn» »nd lawlessrje»s now ascending from the depths of the lowest hell."—Yours &c , W.J.N.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The return from the Thames of Miss Carry George and the theatrical company playing wilh her, was ereetcd last night with a lull house at the Prince of Wales Theatre Ihe drama of " Ifaust and Marguerite" was produced in a manner never excelled in Auckland, and treated a deep impression from its scenic and other tffects. The piece is simply the opera para phasKd, aud from the w«ll known sensational character of the plot might be ezpected to enchain the attention 0 am audience. Miss Carry Gaorge as Marguerite looked and acted mott rf^rmingly Mr G. W. Collier was well suited iv the character of Faußt, while ivfr Lawrence as Mephisto^heles was appro priately Batanic. The various minor characters were well acted, and Mr Thornton supplied same excellent new scenery. The final tableau was most effective ana elicits loud cheering from the audience. The evening's amusement was completed by a merry corned ettacalled the " ladies' Club." This came in very apropos a ter the somewhat gloomy associations of the " *Vist and Marguerite." The pieces were playert in a very sparkling manner, and in the course of it Miss Lizzie Morgan gave the company a traat by Mngiag one of her beautiful soi^s, which was deaftvfuly enccred. The management announce tae same representations for to-night, when we have no sucn is the state of things ia matters theatneam Auckland. We can honestly commend the mounting 01 this piece as creditable to any New fe^nO. thtatre, and as it is the managers intention to with draw it after to-night, the house should be crowded.

At a meeting of the Thames Naval crew last night, it was stated that Mr Savage has received orders for a new boat to replace the -Nonpareil, and to give greater speed. Ihe club intend to make an effort to send afloat a first-class amateur crew as well as the professional crew, to represent them m Auckiasd. They also hope to semi a crew and boat to represent this district at the interproviucial regatta down South. This club, no doubt, will come well to the front again this season, and we hope they will sustain the laurels they won at the Auckland regatta last season.

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

NAPIER

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Poor Thing!! That poor creature in Auckland who has obtained the use of thecolumnsof the Haivke's Bay Herald for his tilly slanders, is at it again. In a letter in the Hawlce's Bay Herald, this morning, he says that some well informed people infer that "Lord Henry's" Jate speech before Lis fellow lords was the valedictory effort of that gentJeman under very peculiar circumstacces^ and that he will never more favour them with the light of his countenance. By-the-bye, I notice that the Otago Witness endorses Mr Sheehan's charts against the Hawke's Bay settle's, though the editor must (or should) know how completely they were disproved. One miyht expect a repetition of these slanders from a certa;n .Evening Star, but not from the influential Otago Witness. Will the Star use its influ ence to suppress this subsidised and privileged slanderer shielded by the Native Office, and relegate him to the position nature intended him to fulfil? or do you think it better to buy him a penny whistle ?

DUNEDIN.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day. . ITew Steamers. The Union Steamship Company have tele graphed to John Darling, their building Inspector at home, to bnild and despatch, without delay, a steamer of the same dimen sions as the Bruce, to be called the Wanoka.
