INSULTING LANGUAGE TO RAIL WAY WAY OFFICIALS.

nv. the Editor: Sir,—As my name has been i?o«Md before the public under the above S__Mo2 for two days, and as your reporter i wvrrectly or in other Avorrts made it appear as rtmieh insulting or bad language had been used X j should esteem it a great favour if you allow me space to state the frivolous cause nf the attempted prosecution. On the morning «f the 12th I engaged a horse box to convey tAvo horses arrived by the Hawea, to Newcastle, nfll sent them to the station between 11 and 12 nVlnck The man in charge was told to bring thlm down at 2 o'clock. I took them doAvn myself whilst the train was at the platform, it r;_ nt j n _ four minutes to che time of starting, hiit no box was there to receive them, it being nrpviously shunted on to another line of rail. I then nut them into the box to go by the evening' train but after having done so, I ascertained that it would go no farther than Mercer. I then had them removed to another portion of the line and left instructions that they were not to cm until the morning. I sent a man doAvn in the fvenin" to attend to them, but found they had heen =ent on to Mercer. I then went down the following morning to arrange for them to be taken on to NeArcastle. but Mr Luke said it would be an extra expense. I said "Avhat ! through your bundling, for you had no instructions to send them on." He said "I had " I then asked him from whom, he said, " From Mr Healy." I then Btated that no con signment note had been given, Avhen he dis tinctly contradicted me. I said it Avas not true, as I had the consignment note in my pocket, and shewed it to him. That is the sole charge for which the manager of tho Auckland railway wasted his time, as well as that of four or five porters. No wonder the line Avon't pay.—Thomas Steadhax, Haymarket.

LATEST MINING.

Moanatairi. AneAVAvinze 120 ft. avest of No. 1 winze at the 80ft. level was started to-day for the purpose of opening up sections, stoping and to ventilate the Avork if§s. The stopes on No 9 reef at the back of this, level look very well. Specimens are occasionally obtained at the 140 feet level of No. 9 reef as driven upon in the south cross-cut.

No 5 Avinze' is 'shoAving gold. The slopes on No. 9, beloAv tunnel level, being carried Avest, and show gold going up the tunnel. Extending the 23 feet drive dur ing the past week, and the country is hard.

As soon as the two levels are connected by No. 2 winze, the block will be opened out east and Avest, and drives extended. Caledonian. —The slioav on the battery plates exceeds expectations, and a handsome return may be looked for. SeA'eral stones were broken down in the mine on Saturday . and showed gold more plainly than cA Ter since the palmy days of this. A body of rich stone Avhich constitutes the hanging Avail of No. 2 reef, has a tendency to the ootAvall. SHAREM ARRET. Caledonians have been in good demand, and have a healthy tone. Sales Aveie quoted at £5 10s and £5 7s 6d ; Moanatairis are quoted at £4, but there are no sellers at this figure ; sellers Piako, 9s.

Mr Graham surveyed both, mines for the Union Beach ; he Avas permanently engaged, and under the cir cumstances it' seems incredible he should have allowed the Golden Pah to encroach Avhen he surveyed it. The whole thing seems, at present, to be an invention. RESIDENT MAGESTRATES COURT. A Fijian tried for attempted rape, and ably interpreted by Mr Woodham, Avas committed for trial.

Sangford was arrested, and will be brought before the Geraldine Bench to-daj' ova charge of arson for house breaking and robbery.

MR. SWANSON ON "BRAINS."

Ma. W. Swanson, M.H.R., delivered the following characteristic speech during a recent debate in the House of Representa tives :—" The honorable member for Waikato said that brains would always rule and always succeed. I wish to God, sir, it was true. I ask every member of this House if he has not known instances where brains, and brains of the very first class, have done their very best, and failed; instances where men of brains could not get a chance, and therefore could not get bread ; instances of men being driven to despair and suicide because they could not find an opening for their talent. Is this not true of every walk in life ? If Aye had any guarantee that brains would succeed, I would say that we were approaching the millennium. Ido not run down wealth. Every man should struggle to advance himself in life, for the sake of his 'own independence, for the power of doing good, for the sake of his wife and children, and to make the path of his children smoother than his own. But, as to the power of wealth, deny it as you like, it tells in every direction. It sends ships abroad, it builds churches, it establishes factories, and the only thing it cannot do is to command health and happiness ; but even to these it will always do something, and at times everything. It is all twaddle to despise its influence. Go out into the and find a place where wealth has nmwnn influence, if you can. Let wealth put-up its bar, and do you find any other influence will prevail against it ? Not at all. It is not the respectable Mr ABC that is considered ; it is the tangible £ s. d. Wealth has not been without its weight either at the elections or in this House. But as to brains, Aye have one very favourable instance on the Ministerial benches. I kneAV Mr Sheehan when he Avas in his mother's arms, and I am proud to see him where he is, and the share I had in bringing it about. I should be very glad to see many more sons of the soil there. This House Avill never be what it should be until Aye see men here avlio do not talk about Scotland, England, or Ireland as their home. We must have men here A\ rlio Avill speak of this as their country. Brains should have an equal chance Avith wealth. Where the chances are equal, brains "will succeed; but no where else. Given brains and opportunity, and Avealth and opportunity, I should cer tainly back the brains. We all knoAV lioav great is the competition, and hoAV large are the number of applications for situations in this colony. Do brains always succeed ? Why, everybody knows that it is invariably the man Avho has most friends Avho gets the situations. Did brains plan this very building ? For Heaven's sake, let us look at our public Avorks. Did brains lay out our railways ? Did brains construct them ? Do brains run them ? Have brains made the rules and regulations ? Bah! If it were not so serious a matter, it Avould be absolutely comic to state to this House that brains must succeed. Let us see what brains have done in regard to the manage ment of our railways. There Avas a poor girl Avho Avas injured by a railway accident, and she Avas taken to the hospital. When she Avas getting better, she asked for a book Avhich she had Avith her at the time of the accident. It Avas a cookery book, worth about 9d, and, as she Avas a domestic servant, it may be supposed that the book was of some use to her. The book could not be found amongst her effects at the hospital, and it occurred to one of the attendants that it might be in the custody of the Railway Department. Inquiries were made, and it Avas found that the book Avas in the railway office ; but there was lis. 6d. to pay on it. But there Avas a far worse case than that. A man, Avhile getting a ticket at a railway station, dropped a cheque, and, as he could not find it, he Avent to the Bank and stopped payment of it. He continued his journey in the next train, and when next he went to the railway station he Avas informed that his cheque had been found. He replied that as payment of the cheque had been stopped it was valueless, and might be throAvn into the fire. He was told that he had better take the cheque, and when he did so he found that he had to pay a good part of £1 to the authorities for taking charge of the valueless cheque for him. I am one of those people Avho believe that a man Avith the " gift of the gab," a plausible address, good friends at his back, can geo along far better than a man Avith brains ; especially if he happens to have a large quantity of Avhat is called " cheek."

THEATRE ROYAL.

" Macbeth," one of Shakespeare's remarkable tragedies, bearing upon Scottish history, Ajas produced at the Theatre Royal on Saturday eA'ening by Mr Tavares and his supporters, The attempt to revive the Shakesperian drama in Auckland is creditable, and if not successful in a speculative point of view the-fault does not lie Avith those Avho have exercised their histrionic powers in giA'ing a inst interpretation to the lessons, clothed with poetry, of the master-mind who wrote for all time, and disclosed in thrill ing language the workings of the human passions in various circumstances; but is at tributable rather to a laxity or want of proper appreciation on the part of the people. Ihe polished and educated actor is the exponent of the poet's thought, and in his highest position is a public teacher. "Macbeth" is not often represented on an Auckland stage, nor are oiher of the leading tragedies and comedies of past days; hence it is the more re markable that such representations should attract so little attention. Mr Morton Tavares is an actor cf large experience, and whatever character he may assume, he in vari ably invests that character with realistic beauty and truth. His " Macbeth," on Saturday, was faithful in every feature, and his "dagger scene,"as it is usually termed, was rendered Avith truth, shewing the inner struggle between con science and the contemplated murder with per ceptible impressiveness. His soliloquy on Sleep Avas rendered in a style full of pathos and remorse. Again, when Seyton (Mr Hoyle) brought the unpleasant news of the death ot the Queen, Macbeth's reflections thereon displayed, the same studied finish and feeling :—

" To-morroAV, and to-morrow and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Lady Mncbeth was impersonated by Miss Tilly Andrews in a manner which commanded the frequent approval of the house. Her reading ot the letter in Mabeth's castle at Inverness, her address to Night, and her influence over Macbetn until the dreadful deed is committed, iormed. a portrait of a woman bent'_ more than miscmer. The part of Lady Macbeth Avas worked out with fearful interest by Miss Tilly Andrews ; seldom have the public had an opportunity of witness ing anything finer on the Auckland stage ; the inAvard intensity, earnestness of purpose, good or evil, and genuine acting of this lady being conspicuous throughout. Mr Searle appeared in the earlier acts as King Duncan, and dis played a true conception of that personage. Mr Belton as Macduff, Mr Verner as Malcolm, Mr Wheat'^io-h as Banquo, Mr Leopold as the first witch (excusing the voice), and Mr Alexander as Hecate, were competent representations of their respectiA-e characters, while Locke s inci dental music in the second and third acts by the orchestra, added to the interest of the tragedy of " Macbeth." A large and vancd bill has been prepared fortius evening,^ |the occasion of BENEFIT MR. R. J. Delias, •hv the ladies and gentlemen of the dramatic companyV incladinl Mr and Mrs Tavares and ™!rWhV.tleigb.

WESLEYAN SABBATH SCHOOLS.

The annual gathering of the Wesleyan Sabbath schools in the Auckland district, took place yesterday afternoon in the Uhoral Hall. The gathering was. as is usual, very large. The place was thickly packed with children,teachers, parents, and A'isitors, The supposed number of children was about 1,000. The following were the schools present:—Pitt-street, Mr Henderson in charge, in the absence of Mr R. Arthur ; Par neU school, Superintendent Mr Hughes; Grafton Road school, Mr Thomas McMaster ; Ponsonby school, Superintendent, Mr John Banbury"; Union-street, Superintendent, Mr Hanson. The aspect of happy children was most pleasant to behold. The following reA r. gentlemen occupied the front of the platform. Revs. W. Kirk (in the chair), T. Buddie, R. S. Bunn. W. J. Williams, TV. Gittos, J. Garliok, andZ.'J-I. Sclmackenburg. The first to address the children Avas Rev Mr Bunn. His subject Avas simple and well chosen " Gardens and their productions." The speaker was not long in attracting attention, as he hero and there plucked gay frowers, and descanted upon their form and beauty, asserting ithat ithe human heartgat it^j-.vorst state should be able to confess that from what.was seen in the flowers and blades of grass, the beautiful design in CA rery part, ani3_harmony in the whole, that the hand that made them is divine. Not world s on worlds in phalanx deep, Need we to prove a God is here; The daisy, fresh from wintry sleep, r>. Tells of His hands in lines as clear." The next to address the audience was the Rev. W. J. Williams. The rev. gentleman evidently considered the occasion an important one, and bis address gave proof of the fact. The subject was, "God cares for the little ones." We are delighted to think that preachers of the present day, who occupy high elevations in Christian ethics and pulpit powers, can find time to come doAvn for the space of half an hour to converse happily with the children. This Mr Williams arrived at and excelled in. The address, if it had a fault at all, was that the uorgeousness and arrangement of the garlands exhibited Avere rim past too quickly, 'and not leaving sufficient time for the children to laugh or smile. The addresses were well received, pnd were very apposite to the occasion. The singing, under Mr Bridson as leader, and Mr W. Caley as instrumentalist, was all that could be desired. This part of the programme Avas, as usual, a great treat. It Avas to be regretted that many ladies and children and others Avere obliged to stand.' At the close there was a collection of over £11 in aid of the Home Mission Fund. The success of the whole, we think, is greatly duo to the efforts of Mr John Gittos, the energetic union secretary, Avho was in "labours more abundant" to the occasion.

CAMBRIDGE.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

November 20th. LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The Aveather to-day has been very severe, but I trust it will recover its composure and be fine, or it will spoil the day's sport 6u the 27th inst.. at Ohaupo, which has every appearance of being a great success for Waikato. Messrs Sims and Grey have started the Cambridge Hall, nnd are expected to finish the 25th of next month, when the local talent of Cambridge Avill be called into requisition to give a performance c n the opening of the building. The buildings in course of erection wilt be shortly completed, such as Mr Clement's hotel, and the parsonage, with several small shops. Tho Farmers' Club held their meeting this evening for the election of officers, which was Avail attended, and a good lot of business done. I notice that the Chairman of the Highway Boards haA'e called a meeting for the Indian Famine Fund; better late than never, but nevertheless the meeting is expected to be Avell attended.

CRICKET.

The Domain presented a liA-ely scene on Satur day afternoon, when two capital cricket matches were going on together. One Avas AUCKLAND C.C. V. REMUERA C.C This was won by Auckland on the first innings The winners batted well, but this cannot be said of their opponents, who with the exception of Cheeseman and D. Tonks proved very weak in this respect. In the first innings Auckland scored a total of 85, and Remuera 16. In their second innings Auckland scored 37 for two wickets down. The other match was the UNITED C.C. A T. CARLTON C.C. This, as might be expected, was won easily by the United, Avho seem imdncible this season. The Carlton scored a total of 61, against 138 of their opponents. A ithird Tmatch was played at Otahuhu on Saturday, between tho local team and an eleven of the West End Club. The Otahuhu men Avon on the first innings, but it is only fair to state that the West End only played nine men. The total scores Avere Ota huhu il, and West End 33. •
