ORGANISATION OF SURVEY STAFF.

WELLINGTON, this day.

Nine officers of the Provincial Survey Department have been ordered to leave Wellington and proceed to other parts of the Colony. Henry Jackson, Chief Pro vincial Surveyor, has organised an efficient staff, after a great deal of trouble, and it is to be regretted that the corps is now to be disbanded in other parts of the Colony. We may rest assured they will get the best men HULK ELI WHITNEY TO BE RAISED.

Captain Williams, owner of the hulk Eli Whitney, which was sunk recently by the steamer Taupo, will, it is expected, be ordered to remove the wreck next week. The hulk is not to be blown up with dynamite, because the coal on bog.rd would injure the harbour. An attempt v/ill probably be made to lift it bodily. THE CONSTABULARY CON FERENCE.

The ])oliceinen are dissatisfied with the result of the Inspectors' Conference, and as soon as the report of the proceedings is published they intend to hold a meeting, to decide whether they will retain their situa tions under the conditions proposed by the Inspectors. There are many old and ex perienced officers hi the force, and they naturally think they arc better able to judge, what is best for themselves than the in.spefe4, who get all the pay and do no work/«F

Neither Hippocampus nor King was ont. The "Times'" Sporting Writer's Opinion of Hippocampus. Concerning Hippocampus the " Times'" sporting writer says :—" Hippocampus next appeared, and there was a rush to see him, as he has been working hitherto on the beach. He went four miles altogether, with a light suit of clothing on. At first he went slowly, and for the last mile and a-half French bustled him along, and his style was much admired. He has a nice, even, sweet style of moving, like a well oiled piece of machinery, and he will be found in the first flight" in both Cup and Derby, or I am much mistaken."

THE SEA BREAKES THROUGH THE SOUTH SPIT.

WANGANUI, this day.

A special meeting of the Harbour Board was held yesterday afternoon, to consider a letter from the Harbourmaster, stating— " The sea lias broken through the South Spit, within a mile from the Heads, and the channel can be seen, about a chain wide, with a depth of five feet at high water spring tides, the force of tho surf having made through it along sand Bpit out into the river, about live chain which have caused the river to silt up below the lnst mentioned spot, and set the current in another direction.

Mr Rees, Resident Engineer, stated the cost of stopping the channel at £1735. The Board resolved to apply to the Govern ment for the best engineering advice, lo report on tho means to be adopted to prevent further injury accruing to the river arising from divergence from the ordinary channel. The Board nnd a number of others, pro ceeded to thu place this morning.

The Slaughterhouse Question.

DEPUTATION TO THE COLONIAL SECRETARY. A DEPUTATION consisting of Messrs A. K. Taylor, chairman of the Eden County Council, and Messrs B. Ireland, J. Wrigley, members, with Mr Tothill, the Council's secretary And treasurer waited upon the Hoii' Dr. Pollen, Colonial Secretary, at a quarter-past two o'clock to-day, for the pur pose of laying before him the resolutions passed by the Council respecting the secur ing of Mourant's site, as a public slaughter house. Mr Wrigley sketched a rough plan of the ground, and expatiated at length upon the advantages of the site. He pointed out that the erection of ft slaughter-house on that sitewould be most convenient for the convey ance of cattle and carcases, and would enhance the value of the .adjoining land belonging to the Government. The Colonial Secretary said lie thought the County would be in a position to pay for a site.

Mr Wrigley said the County Avould not be able to spare the money, but it would bo willing to lease the land for twenty-one years, with a purchasing clause at a moderate price. Dr. Pollen said he feared that the site was too near the city, and, being in a neighbour hood which Avould rapidly iucrease in popu lation, it might be objected to on sanitary grounds. Mr. Wrigley said the great majority of the residents were in favour of Meurant's site, and referred to the unanimity of the recent public meeting on the subject. Mr. Ireland said it was proposed to erect a good building, and to thoroughly drain the ground, so that all offensive matter would be removed.

Dr. Pollen said it would be necessary to consult the Minister of Works before the site could be granted, but when he (Dr. Pollen) reached Wellington, he would urge the matter upon Mr Ormond. THE RAILWAY. Mr A. K. Taylor then laid before the Colonial Secretary the resolution passed at the last meeting of the County Council urging the Government to push on the Kaipara railway. Dr Pollen said he would hand the resolu tion to the Minister of Public "Works, at Wellington, and would urge the matter upon his notice. He was under the im pression that tenders had either been invited or would be very shortly.

(To the Editor of a the Evening)- Star.)

HERR SCHOTT'S CONCERT.

O'WIXG to presewre on our space, we are compelled to hold over until to-morrow a full report of Herr Schott's brilliant Jaud successful concert at the Choral Hall last night.

We have received the following statement of the case heard at Onehimga against a young man named Ferroll, who was brought up at Onehunga by the Cemetery- Trustees, charged with wantonly cutting down a pretty tree in one of the enclosures in tho graveyard : " Mr Ferrell had a grave nicely fenced in in the Cemetery, where tho remains of some dear one of loving memory lay. He was about to leave the place, and purposed to paint and beautify the fence. When he came to do the work, he found that the Trustees had foolishly planted some big trocs, with large overhanging branches, far too near the graves, and much to the hurt of the fences, although they may have beautified the ground. In FerrelTs case, a high tree overhung his friend's grave, some of the branches having actually twined themselves in the railing, thus destroying the fence. He, naturally enough, removed the branches, and only those which did harm to the place. The trustees are greatly to blame for planting trees so close. It was thought that some friend had planted the trees, but this is incorrect."
