THE NEW FOREIGN SCHOONER.

The approaching launch of the schooner which Mr T. Niccol has been engaged in building for the firm of J. C. Godeffroi and Son, of Hamburgh, will mark an epoch in the ship-building trade of Auckland. She is the first vessel of any size that has been been built here t. t:he erder of a foreign firm, and there is I^/^ -doubt that, when she arrives at her destination—Samoa, she will be subjected to very severe criticism, and taken as a standard of the work our builders and shipwrights ■ are capable of. We learn that, at the time the order was given to Mr .Niccol, an order was also given for another vessel to a firm in San Francisco. The two vessels will be finished within a few weeks of one another, and will of course be compared very minutely. The great question is : how will our production stand the test ? If it should be deemed superior, we may be sure that it will not be the last order the port will receive. If it should be condemned our reputation will suffer. This alternative cannot fail to have struck Mr Niccol while the vessel has been upon his hands, and from personal inspection, and the opinion of Captain Ganter, who has superintended the building on behalf of Messrs Godeffroi, we may safely say that no stauncher or more faithfully built craft has ever been put together in any of the ports of the Pacific. The importance of the firm giving her a favourable verdict may be estimated from the fact that at Samoa and Tahiti Messrs Godeffroi have nearly fifty large and .mail vessels engaged in traffic among the Islands. Here is a fine field to be worked, and it has been Mr. Niccol's endeavour in his present enterprise to attract its riches to our shores. Our fellow-townsman cannot but have felt that he has had a great responsibility in the matter. If success crown his efforts the result will be that not he alone will feel the benefit, but the whole of our ship-building community will make a vast Btride in import ance. Although the vessel will not be launched for another week or more, she is at present qnite sufficiently near completion to undergo criticism. The object which leads us to give our customery description a little earlier than usual is that' persons who are interested in the well-being and progress of our most important industry may take the opportunity within - the next few days of paying a visit to the .North Shore, and examining the vessel, while yet her elevated position on the stocks gives them the chance of extending their inspection to all her points. The Tongatabu—for this is the name Captain Ganter has chosen for her—is 91 ft. long on the keel and 108 ft. over all; her greatest beam is 21 ft. 10 in., and her depth 10 ft. 4 in. She has already been measured by the Custom House authorities and has been found to register exactly 150 tons. Her construction has been carried out according to the rules and under the eye of the surveyor of German Lloyds in which she will be classed for ten years, the 13 copper fastened and very heavily planked and timbered. Her frame.which is double, is of pohutakawa and the planking of heart of kauri from 4in. thick ohthe waleßto3in thick below. The deck knees are all double or sister knees, the arm of one resting in the bosom of the next. These im portant aids to her stability have been care fully selected and are of specially good quality. Her rig is that of ji double topsail schooner. In conformation she is very taking to the eye. Her ends are fine, but she has plenty of lifting power in the stern, while she has a beautifully graduated flam in her bows. Looking at her rise of floor we should say she will prove a clipper on a wind, while her clean run should make her leave the water very fast under any circumstances. Her masts are two fine specimens of kauri and have a slight rake. The internal arrange ments are very complete. The saloon is a commodious apartment I3ft. long by 9ft. wide. There are four staterooms affording sleeping accommodation for captaim,mate, and four passengers. The saloon also gives access to the pantry, steward's .room, store-room, sail-room and W.C. There is also a sofa at the fore end which can be turned into sleeping quarter for two more passengers. A small room forard of the cabin is to be used as a cabin for native passengers. Both the saloon and this cabin are under the poop which is thus of great length, measuring 35ft and affords a splendid promenade for pas sengers. Forard of the foremast there is a house on deck for the crew. This measures lOJft. by 14ft. with a small portion taken off at the starboard after end for the galley. In the house are bunks for eight "men. The rigging is being supplied by H. F. Anderson and Co., and both standing and running gear are of the best quality. The chain plates in accordance with the modern style of ship tuiiding are brought inside the rail. Ihe Tongatabu is calculated to carry about 250 tonß of cargo in her hold. This has tiree hatches, of which the main hatch is 6it. 2in., by Bft. 6in. There are two iron p-mps and a patent windlass. The Bails, of which there are two complete suits, are of Coker canvaßS. While in the hold, we noticed the extremely heavy Btringers and the strength of the beams. The ceiliDg is of 2^-inch planking on the sides, with the in side bilge streaks of 4-inch planking. We thill look forward to the day of launching with every expectation of seeing a great crowd present on the occasion, and we have every confidence that Captain Ganter's pre lent highly favourable opinion of his new craft will be amply confirmed by her beha viour at sea

ANOTHER SAMPLE OF SOUTHERN ELOQUENCE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)

Sir,—l see Mr Pyke, another Southern luminary, member for " The Ocean," I pre sume, has given out the following sample of his states man-like qualifications :—" The hon. member for City West said this Bill would cause a separation. He wished to Heaven it would. Nothing would please the South better than to get rid of the North With her native wars, her land swindling, gold mine swindling, pakeha-maories and missionaries. It had been a mill-stone round the neck of the South, and the great cause of the want of progress in the colony as a whole."' I remember that the House of Commons in England once had a lunatic member, whose remedy for the evils of Ireland, which Tie said was a miil-stone round the neck of Eo gland, Was to sink her for an hour under the sea ; and why, therefore, should we expect to be free of a similar lunatic in the Southern hemisphere. But does it ever occur to this "Fish out of Water" that the Southern capitalists and sheep run holders have another mill-stone round their necks, which it is not perhaps polite to mention mortgagers and absenteeism. It should be Well known with all their boasting that the Dulk of Southern property is located in England, and that a clean balance-sheet of Southern wealth would be a pretty show up. But this speech was 1 see taken no notice of by anybody, therefore, I presume, the hon. member is considered beneath notice and merely looked upon as a queer fish.—Yours ftc.,«o__o Practical."

DIOCESAN SYNOD.

At the meeting of the Diocesan Synod, yesterday, the Rev F. Gould was elected clerical secretary owing to the illness of the Rev Mr Cald<>r - The Education i on.mlttee report reromn.ended the seUing aside of a certain hour in the day In public sell, ols for religious instruction, and proposed that the Hoard of education he mi moralised to that effect —On the modon of Mr Hughes, seconded by Mr R. B. Lusk, the following gentlemen were appointed a Diocesan Board:— The Very Rev. Archdeacons Maunsell aud J. Pritt, the Rev. R. Kidd, and Messrs W. H. Kissling, B. Maclean and G. P. Pierce.— The report on native schools, read by the Rev Mr Burrows, was adopted.—Messrs W. S, Cochrane and H. E. Williams were appointed auditors. —In reply to Dr Goldsbro', the President s.aid the endowment of the Church of England Grammar-school consisted of .£65 per annnm, to meet all expenses. £50 of this was absorbed in scholarships, and the remainder used in repairs, improvements, <S_c —A long' discussion ensued on the Yen Archdeacon Maunsell's motion, " That the Synod do go into committee to consider the advisability of consolidating the trusts." The Synod being in committee, Yen. Archdeacon Maun sell moved, "_hat the following trusts be consoli dated into one:-The Auckland Trust, the Diocesan Trust, the Panmure Trust. Local Bishopric Trust, En dowment Trust, Tamaki Trust, and Onehunsta Irust It was stated that the amalgamation would greatly improve the administration of the trusts, which had been characterised by Mr Buckland (in the House or Representatives as scandalous. —_he discussion was interrupted by the dinner adjournmont —The return moved for by Mr Gordon, for a detailed statement of contrbutions to the Paro< hial Endow ment Fund, was agreed to; also, a return of the receipts from the utabuhu burial ground —A lengthy discussion ensued on the a Iteration of Formularies Bill, in which the proposed alterations were gene rally cor>derated as tei ding to sever the church from the church in England and aiter its services and doctiines: An amendment by Mr Boardman waa ultimately crried:—"That this Synod does not assent to the alterations proposed in the Formularies Bill, speing that strong doubts Lave heen expies?ed as to the power of the General Synod to legalise such alterations, and the Sjnod would recommend that an opinion on this question should be obtained from some eminent legal authority before the passing of the sta tute. Tbe oilier clausesof the report were then adopted, that the Most Rev. the Prim_.te of New Zealand be requested to obtain such legal cpinion, and also that application be made to the Colon! »1 .Legislature for an Act declaring that in the Constitution Trust deeds the words " United Church of England and Ireland" snail be taken to mean the Church of England —_• r Power moved, "That the innovation as practised by the minister of St. George's Church of England, Thames—viz ,by turning his back to the people during the recital of the consecration prayer in the Communion service, as also the draping in black cf the said church on Good Friday —is illegal, liable to mislead and pervert, thereby instilling false doctrine into youthful and unforme. minds, and ought to be restrained." Mr Carlton considered the matter was one for the Bifhop. He moved that they prooed to the next order of the day. Other members supported this view.—J_r Boardman protested against thase innova tions, as either tending to paganism or materialism on the other hand. 'Jhf innovations eilber meant change of doctrine or theatrical sensation, neither of which were desirable. On the motion of Mr W H Tussling the fynod recommended the trustees of St Stephen's estate to have the road to the school dedi cated.— Ou the motion of Mr Power, the Bishop, Yen. Archdeacon Maunsell, Messrs Tomlineon. Adams, Bates, W. S. Cochrane, and Nolan, were appointed a committee to prepare a uniform course of instruc tion for adoption in Sunday-schools. The bill to provide for the formation of missionary districts was passed through committee, and ordered to be read a third time next day.

AMUSEMENTS.

AIREC IN THE AIB. Tbe City Ba'l was crowed to excess last evening by individuals of both texes, who were desirious of witnessing the wondrtus doings of Airec and his gifted coupanions. Airec's peifermances on the horizontal bar and the mystic l»cder were themes of general ad miration. Professor Jacobs waa no less remarkable in the answeiing voices frtm viewless .pints of the air, also in his clever sleight-of hand illusions. Miss Amy Tbomun, the iairy vccaiist, sang several ballads at intervals, and as she is fast g. owing into popular favour, her appeara_.ee evoked a shower of applause. The gift distribution also, with its special attractions, added to the enjiymect of the evening. We notice that this evening, as "variety is charming," that a new and sparkling programme has been prepared, being set apart for the complimentary benefit to Fredeiic Airec, on which occasion he will give a hand some silver cup to the best song and dance man; also a silver watch to the best amateur gymnast. Airec, moreover, in order that the children shall not be n. glectrd, will _ ive a grand mid-day performance to morrow (Saturday).

POOISBY MUSICAL SOCIETY.

The members of the Ponsonby Musical Society Vfill give a grand mi sical and vocal entertainment this evening in the Ponsonby Bali to consist of Wet-ex's " Mass," and miscellaneous selections. Acmission only by membera' complimentary tickets.

ST. MAKY'S CO> CEBT.

The concert in aid of the funds of St Mary's Church by the members oi the choir, will be held this evening in the Choral Hall, The programme prepared for this occasion is one which cannot fail in attracting a full hall, and especially when the object of the entertainment is considered. The musical selections, both sacred ar d secular, are from the best composers, while the solos ballads are of a standard characttr, and by authors of classical reputation Some of our best amateur singers have generously contented to take pait in this interesting and laudable entertainment. We hope the pro jectors of this undertaking will more than realise their expectations.

THE ART OF HANGING.

The following letter from the pen of a professor in the art of "hangingmade easy," has been received by the governors of all the county gaols in Great Britain for their edifi cation and instruction:—

" To the Home Secretary, Whithall,

" Sir,—So long as it has been the law of the land that criminals shall suffer death, I submit that dread punishment should be carried into effect by respectable and skilful hands, and not as has been too frequently the case of late, be entrusted to any igDorant brutish person, whom the love of gain and notoriety prompts to apply for the perfor mance of the office —unnecessary torture or entire failure is the inevitable result, as we have recently seen in several instances where men of this class have been employed. For upwards of 20 years I have from humane motives devoted my attention to execu tions, and have attended nearly all the prin cipal ones that have taken place in this kingdom during that long period, giving my advice and assistance to the executioner, and in no single instance where I have been present has the slightest failure occurrred, or any unnecessary suffering been caused the unfortunate culprit. In cases where I have occasionally acted alone, in triple executions for instance, as at Liverpool, Gloucester, &c, my plans have been com pletely successful. I submitted these plans to the prison authorities some years ago, and, though they were then disdainfully rejected, they have been subsequently adopted in one of the principal metropolitan and other prisons, and found to be effective. My career has attracted the notice of the press, by which I have been styled "tha Amatuer," "the Doctor," " the Medical Executioner," and other aliases, by writers who presume to know my personal history. The fact is I was intended for the medical profession, but did not adopt it, as I have private means. The taking part in this business has not been from a mercenary but from a humane motive, and it cost me a large amount of time and money, and has been a source of annoyance to some of my best friends. I, however, persevered in what I felt to be a humane course, and my efforts were apprecia ted by one at least eminent prison philan thropist, the late Mr. Wright, whose portrait in his acts of v mercy now adorns the Council Chamber of the Guildhall. He agreed with me that a man with respectability and proper feeling, if such a one could be found, should deal with such matters. On the retirement of the veteran Calcraft, whom I have so long assisted, I suggested that hia'office should be performed, by one of the officers of the

respective prisons, and I still urge it upon the authorities. Officials at present flog criminals which is a more revolting duty than the other. The duty would then be in better hands than it is at present, and should then be pleased to throw the matter up, or I wduld at all times be ready to pro ceed^ any part of the kingdom and.give the benefit of my experience, assistance, and advieey,lf required.—(Signed), toitdon. - R. E. Anderson.

A very sensational report was current in one or two hotels last night that a man had drawn a revolver upon another in the Royal Mail Hotel. The facts are simply that a aew arrival by the White Eagle was in the hotel on the previous night very much intoxi cated, and was indulging in some chaff with Mr Foster and one or two others, during which he took a loaded revolver out of his pocket. Mr Pearce saw that he was not in a fit state to handle or carry such a weapon, and took it from him for safe custody. The man did not present the revolver or show any disposition to nee it. Anything said between those in the room was banter, and the revolver will be returned to its owner, upon his calling at the hotel Sober.

Macaulay's New Zeai.ani.er. — Philanthropists gloried in the w Rings of Macaulay. wherein he pictures his New Zealander sitting and musing on a broken arch of London Bridge whilst contemplating the ruins of St. Paul's A direct negative to the opinion of many scientific writers that the Aborigines must perforce become extinct as the immigrant increased and multiplied. Christianity having over come most of the difficulties inherent in the customs and prejudices of these islanders, yet the poor Maori is decreasing rapidly from a more insidious cause ihan open murder or warfare, by imitating the white man's dress, donning scraps of clothing, and ex posing themselves, continually in a moist climate without a change by night or day, but regardlessly drying their rags on their backs around their camp fires, colds, coughs, and consumption adding its thousands of victims to this otherwise salubrious country. The " London Cough Cure," so admirably adapted for the relief of such cases, is rapidly finding its way to aU parts of the world; co we trust that a timely use of this invaluable remedy in New Zealand may assist in preserving a remnant of this noble race to view with wonderment the bridge and the Fane such grand examples of the skill of the past as well as the more modern scientific discovery of this " London Cough Cure."
