Road to Hot Lakes

The Bay of Plenty Times ridicules un mercifully the articles in the Waikato papers of the 18th, re the route to Hot Lakes. It shows the articles to be a series of mis-state ments, written by some person totally un acquainted with the interior. The Cross also gets a rub for taking the shilling from the recruiting sergeant of the Wailcato Times.

OPOTIKI.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day.

The Eowena.

Captain Sellars, of the Jbtowena, has again occasioned great indignation to the inhabi tants by steaming up to the Ohiwa bar and immediately back with the mail to Tauranga without allowing time for six passengers, including the Bishop of Waipu, to go on board in a whaleboat, which they would otherwise have done.

The native and European inhabitants state distinctly that the bar was safe for either steamer orjwhaleboat; and that Captain Sel lers has no excnse for not fulfilling his con tract of delivering the mail.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Jerningham Wakefield, M.HR.

It is reported here that some time next week Teddy Wakefield will open his elec tioneering fire of stink pots on the working men electors of Christchurch. He is going to enlighten them as to all the nastiness of the General Assembly during last session, and generally to astonish the natives, but it is not expected he will have anything to say about his own little irregularities. Canterbury Candidates. Politician's here are open to bet that the Christchurch people will return Richardson, Moorhouse, and Stevens, formerly member, and that notwithstanding all the assistance Wakefield may derive from the Good Tem plars. It is said Sir C. "Wilson will have no chance for Heathcote; that Edmund Wakefield is safe for Geraldine and that- Bluett is right to be returned for Coleridge, although there are six in the field against him.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Tuesday. Harriers. A Bmall pack of harriers, for the Christ church Hunt Club, arrived from Melbourne yesterday. They are a very fine lot. Another Mysterious Fire. Last night a man named Arrow, when re turning home from the theatre, observed Bmoke issuing from the shop of Mr A. W. Wright, furniture broker, near Morton's Hotel, High-street. Assisted by Constable Wheatley, he burst open the door, when he found tire in four separate places among piled-up furniture, in the front shop, and another fire in a back room. By great exer tion they succeeded in extinguishing the flames before the engines got into play. Wright said his wife locked up the premises, and left them all safe at 9 p.m. The stock was insured for £500 in the New Zealand office, and £250 in the Batavian Fire and Marine, the latter policy being only a few days old. The building was insured for £150 in the Trans-Atlantic office. There was a large stock of new and second-hand goods on the premises. , ; /

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Tuesday. Insurance on the Paterson. Court of Appeal: Brogden v. Miller. This Was a case to recover £1000 insurance on the steamer Paterson, in the Liverpool and Lon don Company, which the defendants decline to pay on the ground that the policy did not •pply to any ports on the West Coast. The Court held that apart from the stamp laws the Court would have no power to rectify the terms of a policy of marine insurance if the policy did not accord with the terms of the insurance step, but to enable the Court to rectify a contract there must be some pre vious binding and valid contract between the partieis. By the Stamp Act, 1869, the insur ance slip, although it contains all the terms necessary for a policy, is rendered absolutely invalid as a coatract, and not enforceable at »w or in equity. XJniesa a stamp is on a policy, the Court cannot rectify the contract We policy), by that which, not being stamped is by the Stamp Actlio contract at w% £L dgment for defendant,, with costs. riMutiffi, asked for leave to make an appeal «> the Pnvy Council This Day . ..Arrival of the Easby.

ARTISTS EXHIBITION". Sno visitors to the Exhibition of Art yesterday in the Choral Hall, were "like angels' visits," still there was a goodly number of visitors in the aggregate. The weather, i,. must be acknowledged, is greatly against the pecuniary success of the exhibition, but this does not detract from the real value of the exhibition and the almost divine work of the artist. The pictures by local hands are highly creditable, and would have elicited a generous word, even from that eccentric art critic, John Kuskin, who has sad so many beauti ful werds in relation to art and progress The artists have done their best to popularize art, in assisting to form colonial homes of taste, and their labour will not go unrewarded. This evening the exhibition will be open from seven till ten o'clock for the intellectual benefit chiefly of persons wh ise avocations will not permit a visit in the d»y-time. We notice that Mr Seuffert's Art Union list already contains a number of names. DR CARS. A fair number of visitors attended last evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre, to listen to Dr C*rr's exposition of the doctrine of compensation and his experiments in naesmeriUm and phrenology. The doctor's remarks met with general approbation, and his disquisition on brains and skulls was very amussng, His lecture to-night will be on "Heroism:"

I shall support an immediate re-distribution of seats, . based upon the populatiou as shewn by a special census, and subject to the present liberal qualifica tions. A Eoyal Commission of ncn-politicans to fix the future boundaries of e»ch electoral district, and Mr Gladstone's ingenious scheme of 1866 might be taken as a permanent standard for an equitable re adjustment. To further develop the somewhat backward condi tion of the North Island through unavoidable cause in the " wretched past," I shall urge the granting of free farms to bona fide country settlers under the fol lowing conditions: To settlers resident for fifty years and upwards in one province, 400 acres ; and 200 to those of ten years and upwards; 300 acres in that pro vince only. Buildings costing at least jGSO to be erected within six months from date of possession; a legal fence to enclose the property within eighteen months, and the whole to be cleared, and under crop or grass at the end of five years, when a Crown Grant would bo issued subject to the official report of the district surveyor, jvo lien or mortgage over form to be legal within the five years. Insut»nce of buildings, stock, and crops to be allowed. Grantees to be mar ried, and to reside on their farms, and to pay, with the others, the expense of surveying their block. Applicants to ballot for the respective farms in each block, and the land to be of the best quality dis • posable. The recent deplorable loss of the ships Cospatrick and Strathmore, —the former conclusively proved to be be fire—demands, I consider, special legislation. As the population of the Australasian Group now numbers nearly two millions and a quarter, I propose establishing a central factory for all kinds of gun powder and explosives similar to the Mints in Sydney and Melbourne; all forpjgn shipments to be then prohibited, and special craft engaged solely for carry ing these articles between the different colonies, as required. The proposed codification or consolidation of the various Provincial Education Land, and other Acts will receive my earnest attention. X moderate sub sidy, to connect Hji with JNew Zealand, by telegraph, also the further reduction of Press telegrams and railway fares, will be supported. 'Jhe construction of the Thames Valley Railway. either by Government or private enterprise, will still be kept in view. I shall urge also the completion of the Auckland Lunatic ABylum, the Supreme Court-houEe, and the Post-office. I am, Gentleman, Your obedient servant, F. H. TKOUP. mo THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON Gentlemen, —Having reason to believe that I fairly represented your opinions in Parliament, and knowing that I did my best to do so, I offer myself as a Candidate for re-election. 'Thereto nothing I can say that will enable you to know more of me than you' do now, as I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly all of you. As to what is to be done now, I say let us, as far as possible, manage our own affairs. Surely, we who know and are interested, can do so better than those who neither know nor care, and whose interests are often opposed to ours. If you see fit to elect me, my conduct will be the same in the future as it has been in the past—an endeavour, as far as possible, to get unity of action among our Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure ; to put power into the hands of the people, not to deprive them of it; and that all great questions should be submitted to them.
