DUEL OF ENGLISHMEN. There has been a duel on the Belgian iron tier which has occasioned a little talk \n polite circles. Of course the subject was a ■woman. Did ever anybody hear of a row , about anything else?" I trow not. The | jnjuroil husband is the only son of a baronet, ; a well-known county M.1., and his wife is j the daughter of an equally well-known ; M.l*, .shi'is an heiress, and eloped with her husband at an early age, but she has recently returned to her father's house. It was whilst staying' at Boulogne that^hcr husband's suspicions were awakened. _ The co-respondent, who is the father of live children, was an intimate friend and a fre quent visitor at the house, and he refused in lighi until the injured husband threat ened to horsewhip him. The duel ended ■without bloodshed, as both missed. The seconds for the husband both held com missions in the English army, and the second for the seducer was a Belgian oiikvr. The case, when it comes before Sir James llainer, will he rather spicy, as I hear iiu-re are six co-respondents. ML! GLADSTONE'S PAMPHLET. Mr Gladstone's pamphlet on the Eastern Question whs on sale week before last. It is a brochure ol' G± pages, in a blue cover with a dedication to Viscount Stratford do Kedclill'e. The title is "Bulgarian Horrors, and the Question of the liast," and there is a table of contents, as though it had been intended to divide the work into sections, an idea not carried out, siueeonly one of the light heading* in the contents is given in the body of the pamphlet. As a piece of com position, the pamphlet is magnificent—hili or lire, full of hue and generous feeling. Of course he chides the .Ministry for its shortcomings, and lie propounds a distinct polics", the establishment of the Christian provinces of Turkey as autonomous States, nominally subject to the Sultan, but not more so in reality than Uoumania. 'I lie littiotli thousand <> i: the pamphlet was advert is ii lasl week. ' Till-: DUKE OK OOXNAI GUT is said to be going oil! to India " next <-"!d season," and it is also added that he is to remain out a year or two. to complete his military education as the Lieut.-Colonel of the 10th Hussars. A ROYAL EDITION. it lias often been a subject of remark that the :' Daily Telegraph" has been for a long , term'of years tremendously gushing when ever any member of the Lioyal Family was the subject of its comments. The milk in the cocouuut is at length accounted for. It seems that a;' lioyal Edition," printed on the linest, thickest, and whitest paper is got out daily, and a copy sent to each of the Koyai Palaces. When the Prince Consort died,tin.' Queen happened to read the obituary notice in tiie " Tele graph. ' and was so"tonched by its loyalty, that ' has ever since luen a constant sub.si.;i!)^r. That hardly s-.'.ems suilicient reason for l>oring the country generally with outbursts of maudlin gush, and ! should have thought that kind of tiling might jiave li-M-n confined to the twenty-live Royal copies, and something more readable sub stituted for the palate of the general public. B VR( ;N iIOTHS: 'ti LLD'S POLITK \S. Some p'tlitical sensation Luis be n caused by the defection of the Buckingham Kotiis childs from the Liberal creed. This power ful family is supporting the conservative candidate for the seat vacant by Mr Dis raeli's elevation to the peerage, but whether it is friendship t > a man or their own race thai has caused the change of tactics no one see'!-, to know. Some say it is in gratitude to the Premier for the pot of money which he in- in their way in the matter of the Suez Canal purchase. It certainly was no end of a stroke of business. Oar Jewish Premier made us borrow money off a -Jew ish Jinn at 10 per cent, the only risk being that Parliament might not sanction the purchase of the shares, which of course was a very safe thing. Nothing but the bankruptcy of England could have lost the Kotlxschikls their four millions, and the firm could hardly forget such an obligation. As a friend said this morning—" Politics are all very well, but finance is better."

THE EASTERN QUESTION. I have had put into my hands this morn ing's telogmms,containing a stiinimiry of the speech of the Earl of Beaconsfield at Avleslmry, in which he makes some very important statements regarding the relations of England, and the Powers, and quite ■instilies the confidence I stated to be re posed in him by the country. As I before told you, it is plain that England has taken the lead, and has brought about the present armistice, and is endeavouring to arrange the terms of peace. Lord Beaconsfield tells us that the Secret Societies of Europe it i>, that have occasioned the pre sent 'unhappy rupture ; that Russia and the other Powers have acted most cordially with us in trying to maintain peace, and that it was the pressure put on Servia though secret society agents that caused herto declare war a"ainst the Porte. His Lordship's ex planations are on the whole very satisfactory, though he says little of the atrocities, and wliei?lie alludes to them he does it in a way calculated to induce the impression that lie is sceptical on the matter.

It is always gratifying to be able to refer to the success of any new local industry. The wants of civilized life arc made up of an innumerable variety of trifles, the pro duction of any one of which is capable of affording employment to a large number of people. Looking at the immense variety of simple articles that are annually imported into Auckland, it has often been a mutter of surprise tiiat we continue to send out of the colony considerable sums of money for goods ■which could be easily manufactured here, and would afford remunerative employment for youn" and old of botli sexes. Messrs Wil son'&Co, of the Tikipounga Mill, Wangnrei, has shewn a worthy example in this respect "by the manufacture of a baking powder, ■which, after due trial by housewives, bakers, cooks and other equally competent iuilgjs, has been pronounced equal to thu very best, imported article, ami superior to much of it, which sailers deteri oration by conveyance over sea. We have seen numerous local testimonials to the superiority of Mr Wilson's manu facture. Mr L. Damale, the " cuisinicr" of the Northern Club, has found the powder excellent for culinary purposes, and a. goof substitute for eggs in the manufacture o pastry of every description. Mr A. Kidd, of the Provincial Hotel, recommends the powder for bread and pastry as tire best he has ever used; while Mr W. 11. Pierce, of the UoyalMail, after due trial also speaks highly of the powder for bread and pastry. The manufacture may be obtained from Messrs L D. Nathan and Co., who arc the Auckland agents, but about the beginning of the new year Wilson & Co will have com pleted their arrangements for opening a branch manufactory in Auckland. Families, "bakers, confectioners, and presiding genii of the kitchen ought to encourage local indus try and keep the money at home. The following further testimonials have been received by Mr Wilson : fri in Mr Ithoderick McLeod, '" lona" ; K. Prohl, " Argylo" ; Henry Belfe, Newton ; W. Hamley, Wyn yard .Anus.—Advf.
