ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

(From our London Correspondent.)

London, June 29.

THE EDITORSHIP OF THE TIMES.

There is some talk of Mr Delane resigning the editorship of the Times-, but I am glad to tell you that there is no ground for the ru mour. Mr Delane's health has not been good lately, indeed he has been thoroughly over worked, but we shall soon be at the close of the present session, and then it is understood that he will take an opportunity of recruit ing his strength. Mr Delane is one of those men full of nervous energy, whose whole soul is in work, and the consequence is that he is not able to throw aside the cares of office, as can some men of a more cold blooded disposition. Moreover, be has been in harness, and hard at it for a long term.

PRINCE OF WALES VISIT TO INDIA.

Whether the Prince of Wales will make his long-r.alked-of visit to India seems rather a moot point. Some of the doctors say that the step would be highly imprudent even in the cold season, because the Prince's long illness has badly shaken his constitntion, and predisposed him to many of those complaints connected with the bowels, which are always more or less existent in India. It certainly would seem rash to run any risk in the matter. Then there is a question as to who will pay the {riper, since it has come to be generally confessed thatif the thingistobedone at all, it must be done in a manner becoming the greatest nation in the world, and that means a cruel deal of money which the British taxpayer wont quite stand. So now the idea is to make India pay for it. And certainly I think as the benefit will mostly be India's, she ought to stand the brunt of the expense. One man at any rate is sure to come well out of it whatever happens, and that is Sir Bartle Frere. He is like Sir Gar net Wolseley, one of those lucky men on whom Fortune never seems to frowii. He always drops on his legs, and this time he is pretty certain of a peerage. What a thing it is to be cast in the paths of princes. Had your lot or mine, Mr Editor, been drawn in such pleasant (?) places, I have no doubt that we should have occupied inches in the pages of Debrett at the present moment But then we should never have experienced the Bohemian charms of life in our own parti cular line of business. THE SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR. The Sultan'of Zanzibar has been prowliag around here for some time, and has been put through the usual mill of the London Lioas. Of course he has expressed enormous aston ishment, and what wild nigger wouldn't at the wealth and jollity of England, and he has been immensely fetched by the Prince. and Princess of Wales and their pjefcty children. But what has pleased him mast is the account which he has received in the course ef his wanderings amongst oir old relics, of the career of that excellert and virtuous monarch Henry the Eighth, of memory dear to ladies. That King of Eng land, Bays the Sultan, would have hcen the man after his own heart and he wiihes he could have visited this country during the happy days when he ruled her destinies. He feels sure that he might have been tie means of sparing a good deal of unhappiness, as he might have taken some of Henri's super fluous wives off his hands from time to time if they were anyways gooi-lookink. By the way, they have asked thi Sultan's sister over to see him from Dreden where she is living for the sake of her children's education. She is the heroine of a little romance, having eloped from Zansibar with a German clerk years ago and laving been baptized and become quite civilised she is a widow and said to be very bemtiful, so of course there is quite a little stir about her andher arrival.

PARLIAMENTARY.

{FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPON DENT.)

WELLINGTON.

This day.

It has been found that the telegrams sent from lavercargill, relating to meetings at Invercargill, Lonebush, and Mataura against abolition, weie Government tricks to create prejudice against Provincialists. Thought that the writers will be discovered.

Another telegram appears in the Tribune, similar to that which said meetings at New market and Parnell did not represent the feeling of the people. This refers to Papa kura. and says that the meeting afforded no criterion of the feeling of the people, and that the attendance was chiefly from Auckland. The representatives of Auckland, who are resisting, are greatly encouraged by the un animity and determination exhibited at all tho public meetings, and (to use the expres sion of exhuberant but not over-wise Minis terialists) will "fight it to the bitter endZ

T. Boylan, D. H. McKenzie, and H. Brett. DOCK GATES.' A letter giving particulars of a new kind of folding gates for docks was read. It was resolved to forward the correspondence to Mr Moriarty. MR.

The Harbour Master's report'on this sub ject was read. This stated that the coxwain of tbe pilot service was acting as signalman. The matter of appointing a new signalman was referred tp tbe piiot service committee. PILOT SERVICE. A request[from Captain Burgess for a new hand in the pilot schooner was also referred to the Pilot Service Committee. MESSES M'CABE AND WALSH. A letter .from Mr E. T. Dufaur, solicitor, was read on the subject of Messrs Walsh and McCabe's contrast for the widening of the Breakwater. It was accompanied by a re port of the works made by Messrs Beetham, Cameron, and Goedall. The report stated that the contractors had a good claim for better work than that contracted for.

On the motion of the Chairman, the matter was referred to the Works Committee, with power to make an investigation.

GEO. JONES, JtTN",

A letter from this gentleman was read, questioning the decision of th? Finance Com mittee that the echo should not receive the advertisements of the Board till it had been in existence twelve months. Mr. Jones stated that he failed to see the justice of the decision, and begged that it might be re considered.

The Chairman said that the committee had taken great pains to arrive at a just con clusion and had referred to precedents to guide them. He trusted that the Board would not disturb the decision of the com mittee. With this object he should move that the letter be not considered.

This^was* carried unanimously. FINANCE COMMITTEE.

The minutes of the Finance Committee were read and approved of ; also the state mant of the Board's funds.

THE CHAIRMAN'S VISIT TO WELLINGTON,

The Chairman made a few statements as to the result of his visit to Wellington. He had piocured from Mr Eeynolds a promise that the completion of the new road in Mechanic's Bay should be undertaken by the Government as soon as possible as far as their property extended. On the subject of their endowments he was happy to state that the Government were willing to make the alterations required. Touching the water supply for shipping the Chairman said that he had requested the Government to give them an assurance that any extra water from Forb Britomart not required by the General Government Bhould be placed at the disposal ©f the Harbour Board. He was led to suppose that such assurance woHld be given. Another subject upon which he had touched was the retiring of the £25,000 of the debentures of 1860. He had thought it best that the securities should all le taken over by the Board instead of being sold. He thought that by this means it was probable a gain to the Board of nearly £1000 might be secured. It was likely that his would be done. ACCOUNTS. Ordinary account: Balance in bank, £2539 9s ; cash, £17 lis 4d. Total, £2,556 12s Id. By accounts paid, £437 18s; balance, £2,118 13s 4d ; monies voted, £3,630. Loan ac- Oount: Balance to debit in bank, £1,414 7s 4d; accounts for payment, £29 ; total, £1,443 7s 4d. THE MAIN SEWER. Mr Buchanan moved, "That it is desirable the main sewer at Queen-street wharf should be carried into deeper water." The chairman seconded it. The subject was allowed to stand over for the present, Mr Cosgrave suggesting, that the Mayor and the chairman should arrange the matter in the silt basins. (laughter). TIMBER YARD. Mr McKecteie moved, "That steps be

taken to provide the necessary accommoda tion for the timber trade." Carried. This was all the business.

THE HARBOUR BOARD LOAN.

At the meeting of the Harbour Board this afternoon the full statement of the manner in which the £100,000 dock loan was alloted, was laid before the members. As our readers had previously learned, the loan realised £98,894 lis 7d or equal to an average of £98 17s 10£ d per£loodebenture. This very satisfac tory result is no doubt very largely due to the full and complete information furnished to in vestors, who were made fully acquainted with the securities—-the endowments and revenues of tbe Board, illustrated by care fully prepared plans and estimates. , Much credit is due to Captain Daldy, Chairman, for this, and also the officers of the Board— Mr Brigham, secretary, and Mr McDonald, engineer. The loan was floated through the Bank of New Zealand, and the result indi cates the confidence of capitalists in invest ments brought before the public through the medium of that institution. In all, £134,000 were subscribed for, at from £98 to £101 6s. The largest parcel applied for in one lot was £50.000 at £98 0s 6d, and of this £23,000 were allotted. At £98 10s, £32,400 were applied for, and all allotted ; at £100 Is 6d, £13,000; at £100 2s 6d, £5000; at £101, £900; and at the highest figure, £101 ss, £600. Among the names of applicants were some old Aucklanders Mr J. N. Crombie, £2000 ; Mr. Mit chell, of the old firm of Gibson and Mitchell, and Mr. J. Ward Taylor. These gentlemen evidently do not question the secrity and progressive prosperity of tbe city where they accumulated their wealth and we are glad to see some portion of it coming back to us. The terms on which the loan was floated, were £5 upon application and tbe balance on the 10th July, interest to commence at the latter date, so that tbe loan did not bear accrued interest. Looking to tbe whole of the transaction we cannot but congratulate the Board and all concerned upon its com plete success.

ORDINATION AT ST. PAUL'S.

At St. Paul's Chnrch this morning, the ordi nation of three Maori der.cons took place. The service was performed by Lis Lordship Bishop Cowie, assisted by his chaplain, the Rev. George Maunsell. The seimon was preached in Maori by Archdeacon Clark, of the Bay of Islands. The litany was read by a native priest, and the* Epistle and Gospel by two of the three candi dates.^ The clergy present on the occa sion, in addition to those mentioned, wore : Bey. R, S. Hazard, the Eev. B. T. Dudley, and the Rev. —. Wallls. The organ was presided at by Mr Beale, who was assisted in the music by some of the members of the choir. The offertory, which amnunted to £1 16s, was devoted to the Native Pastor Fund. After the service, the newly-ordained deacons partook of the Holy Communion.

The FJirt schooner arrived in Lyttelton yesterday.

Last night a capital entertainment took place in All Saints' School-room. There was a large gathering of the young folks of Pon sonby to witness a magic lantern illumina tion, kindly exhibited by the Grainger, the subject being objects of Natural History and characters. Some very pretty pieces were sung as an accompaniment, and the whole terminated most favourably by the young people giving three cheers for the Grainger. Are you about to be married ?
