ABOUT THOSE CABLEGRAMS, orcalograms, or tello'crams, or what you Avill Are they not sometimes a little sinz'ular? Some fellow, who calls him-elf .. Atlas," wrote in a London newspaper a few months ago that the Prince of Wales was coming out to the Colonies, and the neAve is immediately flashed over the wires, and leading articles indulge in anticipatory loyal <msh over the prospect. But who is this '"Atlas," anyway, and how does he know all the secrets of Buckingham Palace ? Is he a gold stick in waiting, a groom of the stole or merely some back-door loafer, who makes love to the head scullery maid, and gets his dinners on the cheap with the underlings ? And then, who is he that sends all the telegrams about the Conference and the Turkish question ? One day he tells ua that the Turks and Russians are about to spring at each others throats, and the air is full of sulphur, bayonets, and bomb shells. The next, we learn that the Sultan and the Tsar' have expressed an ardent desire to fold each other in a manly embrace. Then, that a sort of misunderstanding has come like a chill frost to cool the ardour of their affections. Again, that efforts are being made to restore the entente cordiale. And, finally, just as we are congratulating our selves on the prospect of peace, that the fat's all in the hre again, and the Emperor of all the Russias and the Commander of the Faithful are blaspheming at each other across the Pruth, and voAving to let out their respective puddings. In the face of this perplexing uncertamity, I telegraphed to Col. Finnimore —late of the New Zealand Militia, but now a Pasha of Two Tails at Constantinople, and the happy proprietor of half-a-dozen harems—to clear up the mystery. With his customary promptitude he replied as folloAvs ; Constantinople, April Ist.

Bismillah lOn my head be it! It is all budwallah (gammon). The Giaours (may their fathers' graves be defiled) have only been waiting for the Spring, and the wor shippers of tho Prophet (may his houris shine like the noonday sun) have been doing likewise. As for the English Giaours, they don't care a iig, and secretly encourage us to fight Russia. By Allah, we will make the dogs eat dirt. The Commander of the Faithful will un furl the green flag of the Prophet as soon as lie has recovered from his toothache. He has sent a telegram for Plumley to come by the next mail. Can you send me some fair New Zealand maidens for my harem ? Inshallah ! I re member them, fair as the maids of Yezd, Avho sing in boAvers of roses, by Bendemeer's stream, with their eyes of pearl, and songs like the notes of the Bulbul.

May your shadoAV never groAV less ! Finnaymohar Pasha.

p.S.—The whiskey here is horrible, and Al Koran forbids the u.e of wine. Send me a case of Long John.

CRAFTY WIT.

A good bonmot was perpetrated at a recent Masonic banquet, which does not appear in your report of the affair. The brethren had partaken of the feast of fat things, aud the solemn moment came Avhen each one must deliver up his ticket, or there and then fork out the equivalent in current coin of _ the realm. One had gone round and received the tickets on a salver, and the brethren were awaiting the signal from the chairman " Charge your glasses," preparatory to the proposal of the usual loyal toasts. But as all eyes were turned upon the Chair, and the last card was placed in the plate, one of the brethren called out, " We're all charged," which set the table in a roar.

A HARD-HEADED NIGGER,

There Avas a story in an American journal about a negro who feR from a scaffold four storeys high, and on his way down play fully remarked to a man at work on the second floor, " Dere's gwine-to be an awfu' smash up of dat pavement down dar." This reminds me of the story of the Irishman Avho Avas overbalanced by the weight of his hod, and in his descent found time to remark to his mate on the story below, ,( Mind, I lave all to Bridget. Ye'r witness to me will." I confess that these stories are somewhat apocryphal, and must be taken Avith grains of salt. But a few days ago a Avell authenticated story reached us by telegraph from Gisborne. A drunken Maori was thrown from his horse with terrific violence, his head striking against the wooden kerbing. The Maori's hair was slightly disarranged, but he was otherwise unhurt. Thekerbingwas split and damagedfor several yards. The Maori skuH is a perfect Avonder. I once saw a chief in the Waikato, during the war, going about with a revolver bullet in his jaw-bone, and he seemed to like it. Another young native, after the fight at Mahoetahi, in Taranaki, was taken prisoner, and complained of a headache. The sur geons found that a bullet had passed clean through his head, coming out at the back. He lived for several days, and might have recovered, had he not (Avhile a sentry AA'as taking forty winks) injured himself by attempting to Avalk a distance of four miles in order to join his countrymen. When he died a surgeon tried to trepan the skull, but blunted all his best chisels, besides knocking up several hammers, and only succeeded ov procuring a blacksmiths sledge. This latter story may seem a little hard of credence, but it is vouched for by an old warrior of my acquaintance, Avho served in the Ist Waikatos.

THE FINANCIAL MILLENNIUM. It must be nigh. The end of all things is approaching. For is not John Mason in the held for City West? His grammar is sonieA\'hat mixed here and there, but there s no mistake about his sentiments. He says: <( I am, and have been, and shall oppose, the re-institution of Provincialism " Bravo, John ! Of course, Avhen he is returned the financial difficulties of the colony aa_.ll vanish as the mists of the morning. John's inti mate knoAvledge of political economy aviU shine as the noonday suu, and the finances of the colony Avill at last be placed on a satisfactory basis. When he is elected, John will give over the ordinary hop business, and go in for Parliamentary " hops," m the halls of dazzling light.

CHICAGO MINSTRELS.

TilfiSß popular minstrels had a grand gathering in the Theatre Royal last evening, and went through Svocai: musical, and active pertor- Sa^'in 51 the most b *3"fflgfcrCSaby These consisted of the Rival Artists, me -pa-Dy Elephant Shandy Gaff, the greatmartial-drum song, and the Mississippi Twins. The whole was performedin a satisfactory manner, and frequent applause was elicited. The entertainment will be repeated this evening.

MR DORNWELL'S NEW HALL.

OUR enterprising citizen, Mr Dornwell, has built a number of new shops on his premises leading from Queen-street into ERiott street * The shops, five in number, are well finished and suitable in every respect tor business purposes; but the great attraction is the ucav hall, capable of seating ooU persons, and which is intended for lectures, entertainments, and public meetings, and, as it is in a central part of tbe city, will he found of great advantage. lhe doors of the hall open outivards, and the stairs are large, sufficient to admit eight persons abreast, so that there will be no Uinnecessary croA. ding on leaving the hall. The designer has not omitted any con venience m connection Avith the haU, which is 64 feet by 28, and 25 feet in height. The refreshment room, with five windows, has a pleasant outlook on parts of the city. There are also cloak and dressing, mms, and a side entrance from the latter _or the use of committees or performers. The hail is nearly complete, and avill be •opened in the course of a f oav days. Mr Kolland did the forickwork in a satisfactory fpm Mpt Mas*, aa«. Www &••

builders, and their part of the work evidences beauty, and utility, and has been faithfully performed to the 'entire satisfac tion of Mr Dornwell.

i-BiCHVKBIJTHE DOCK.

THE PUMPING-OUT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED.

We believe we may now safely congratulate the contractors of the neAV Dry Dock on the successful issue of the most difficult por tion of their Avork, namely the erection of the coffer-dam. The new system of in terior support having been finished, advan tage was taken of yesterday's Jlow tide to close up the opening, and start pump ing out. This was begun at 1 p.m., and was completed by sundown. At high water, 7 p.m., the strain upon the barricades was sustained Avithout any visible yielding. This work is not yet quite finished, for there are about five small leaks, each of which will require a few hours work to stop. These were started on to-day, and the con tractors confidently expect they will be all made watertight by Monday or Tuesday next. No time will then be lost in commencing on the masonry. One of the large travelling cranes of the three which are to run on the gantry piles, has already been hoisted into position : the other two Avill be erected next Aveek. We sincerely trust that Messrs Jones and Ware will now have plain sailing before them. They haA-e been indefatigable in their work, and de serve success.

CAPTAIN RATTRAY'S WEDDING DAY.

A number of citizens friends of Captain and Mrs Rattray, met last evening in the Cook-street Meeting House for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of the captain's wedding day, designated "golden," the Avorthy couple having been married fifty years. The chapel Avas deco ated for the occasion, and a good tea provided. Caleb Wallis av»s called to the chair, because, as he eaid, according to tha opinion of those around him, ho would not say much, and had so much ability for conducting a meeting. To satisfy sceptics ho Avould produce the marriage certificate, which ran thus:—"Page 163.—Mar riages solemnised in the parish of Saint Ililds, in the County of Durham, In the year 1827, William Rattray, of this parish, bachelor, and Mary Hedley, of this parish, spinster, were married in this chapel by banns, Avith consent of parents, this thirteenth day of April, in the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven, by William Markham, curate. This marriage Avas solemnised between us, William Rattray and Mary Hedley, in the presence of William Preston . No. — The above is a true copy from the parish register of Saint Hilds, in the County and Diocese of Durham, taken this 13th day of April, by me, William Markham." Edward Lewis (evangelist) then proceeded to ofFer congratulations to Captain and Mrs Rat tray on behalf of the meeting. He said the name of Captain Rattray had been known to him for twenty-two years, but it Avas only recently that he had the pleasure of his personal acquaintance. He then wished them ail the joys which heaven and earth can give. Rev. David Bruce followed "ith an excellent speech, and in noticing pleasantly the long career of his friends, thought the beautiful ballad of Burns, "John Anderson, my Jo" ap plicable, but when he looked for the grey hairs, he found none, so that the " frosty poav " Avas not suitable, but he hoped as they " Clomb the hill together," they would toddle down, hand in hand, in peace and unbroken happiness. Mr Jen nings, formerly of Dunedin, then delivered a dis cursive address od " Courtship and Marriage." The speaker recommended the young people when they went a-courting to be very careful, and remember that marriage is a divino institution, and if generally regarded in this light, there Avould be less ot misery in the family circle. The choir, under the direction of Mr Marsen, then sang, "I Avill sing unto the Lord." Captain Rattray, prior to receiving tho testimonial, then rose to speak, and as soon as the cheering had subsided, he proceeded to give an interesting sketch of his life, including an account of his courtship and marriage, and his first venture on blue water. The speech was the most interest ing of the evening, and was in the form of a biography. The speaker said ho Avas pleased to meet so many old faces, and if he could give them any solid information, he should be happy to impart it. When a mere Scottish youth, he was exceedingly fond of reading, but few books however were within his reach, besides the Bible, consequently he rhad the Bible through seA'eral times, and deeply studied its contents, and he was grateful in saying, that those early studies had influenced his whole life. On going to England Avith a companion for the pur pose of going to sea, they resolved they would mutually care for each other, so that they should not fall into the bad habits of seamen, such as swearing, drinking, and using tobacco. They kept to their resolution,and it had been of ureat advantage to both of them. The speaker then went into his religious history, and spoke of the various changes he had passed through, from the old Scotch Kirk, to the body of Christiana with which he Avas now associated. He had brought all creeds to the test of truth, fact, and opinion, termed in the Scriptures "deed and truth," and had rejected all opinions that had not a truth or a fact in the Bible as a foundation. He said that the value of an opinion was entirely dependent on the value of the fact or truth that it rested on; that it was not, so much in the manner of thinking as the truth that the thought was upon. He advised all present to leave the opinions of men and their own opinions, and trust entirely to the truths and facts of the Christian religion as it came from its author. The speech was especially interesting throughout, and listened to with much attention The chairman having perpetrated a joke Avith much gusto about a paragraph of a starry type respecting German silver, which failed to producea smile, M>- Laing presented the testimonial of the evening to Cap tain and Mrs Rattray, consisting of a beautifully bound album, containing the portraits of the members of the meeting house. Captain Daldy and Mr Robinson having made a few compli mentary remarks, a hymn was sung, and the meeting closed with prayer.

THE NEW HOSPITAL.

In a feAV days the beautiful building on the Domain Hill, which is to supply the place of the old rambling structure now used as the Auck land Hospital, will be ready to receive the patients, many of Avhom have watched with eager ejes its steady progress, and gradual devolopmcnt into its present noble proportions. There is an old saying that if a thing is worth doing, it is Avorth doing well, and it cannot be said that the rule has been departed from in the present instance. The system of charitable relief promoted by public hospitals is one of the bright exceptions, which like specs of gold in dull quartz, are to be seen studding tho hard selfishness of human life. A man Avho would give a beggar a foul crust to eat, Avould be considered but a mean fellow, and similarly it has been for some time the general impression that, the com fort and relief afforded by the old hospital, was shabbier and less thorough than should be. Public opinion was agitated on the matter, and the result is now before our eyes. Under tho able superintendency of the architect, Mr Hera patn, and the contractor, Mr Taylor, the new building had yesterday been brought so near completion, that it was determined to have a public illumination of all the wards, in the evening between seven and eight o'clock. At that hour, a large number of ladies and gentlemen, mostly by inA'itation, assembled in the building and enioyed the opportunity of traversing its spacious apart ments and admiring the multitudinous provisions which have been made for securing to the sufferers within its walls warmth and comfort, as well as that continuous supply of fresh air which is necessary to health. We shall have a further opportunity of referring to the general arragements, so that our present notes need not go beyond the more immediate subject of last night's trial, namely, the lighting apparatus. Mr W.J.Marks andhis workmen have carried out the contract for the gas-fitting, and their iob has been no light one, though a lighting one. Distri buted over the building are about 150 burners besides four gas stoves. The general effect Avhen all were lighted was very fine.and seen from the outside the building stood out in the darkness with a positive grandeur, reminding one of buildings in tbe old country. A clause in the specifications made it incumbent on Mr Marks to use no lead pipes, and not to cut either a i plank or a joist. These conditions he has care fully complied with. The board room and ■ operating | ward are lighted by 4-burner chan deliers. In the latter room there is a vulcanised tube and burner, which can he attached to one of the jets Avhen extra light is required for surgical or other purposes. In the central hall is a -l-burner harp light. In the large Avards T. lights and brackets are used, as being most suited for the purpose: we understand nearly all the chandeliers $nd burners are the mannu facture of Mr Kitchen, Avho has hit the require ments of the place admirably. Mr Marks had the whole of the plumbing to attend to, as well as the gas-fitting, and it must have been some gratification to that gentleman to hear the terms of satisfaction in which both the architect and contractor yesterday spoke of the work We think that public opinion will endorse the compliment. Everyone was vastly pleased with the display, and the various gentle men responsible for the building heard nothing but congratulations. Among those present avo noticed" the contractor and architect, Messrs Taylor and Herapath, Mr Marks and Mr Ler well, sub-contractors, Mr Derrora, Clerk of Works. Dr Philson, Provincial Surgeon, and several others.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. HARBOUR BOARD DECLINES RES-

PONSIBILITY.

The Thames Harbour Board decline to take over the responsibility of administering the affairs of the port as the income.is only £415, and expenditure £1220. This is after asking for a Harbour Board so long. WAITEKAURI.

The low level is looking better. They have OA'er 400 ozs of gold for seveu days crushing, and expect 1500 ozs gold at the end of the month. They have crushed 500 tons for about 400 ounces of gold or about 2000 ounces amaal gam. The low level stone is expected to go nearly l^ozs to the ton. The reef is about 17 feet wide.

YOUNG NEW ZEALAND. The show is excellent. They will crush about 15ozs to the ton.

The Moanatairi

The "Advertiser" says considerable satisfaction was felt last evening in mining circles Avhen it became knoAvn that the Directors of the Moanatairi, two of whom had arrived that morning from Auckland to visit the mine and confer with the local Directors, had decided to make no altera tion in the mode of Avorking their ground, bu. to sink the main shalt 80 feet, and intersect the lode at that level by means of a cross-cut. A Avinze is to be put down at a distance of 25 feet AvestAvard of the gold shot, and 15 feet east of the cross-cut. The shaft may be expected to be put down to the required level in one months' time, as it has already reached half the distance. In the meantime Avork will be continued on the lode to the Avest, which still looks Avell, and some good stone will, no doubt, be brought to grass from this as well as from other parts of the mine

The approaching race meeting in uoav beginning to engage a deal of attention, and visitors from all parts are gradually arriving. The horses engaged for the meeting arc all on the ground.

The Champagne promises to be a beautiful race, and Aviil I think, go to the Bush-in stable Avith the assistance of Janglcr or Trump Card. To attempt to select the winner of the Autumn Handicap, is no easy task, but I fancy Bribery, Punga, and Fallacy. For the steeplechase, Eclipse is my selection.
