THE NEW HOSPITAL.

We have on scA'eral occasions leferred in these pages to the neAV PrOA'incial Hospital during its progress, and yesterday, through the courtesy of Captain Derrom, Avho lias acted all along in the capacity of clerk of the Avorks, our reporter avus permitted to go through the various inner apartments in their finished state. Tke building, AA'hich reflects much credit on the architect, con tractor, and all avlio have been employed in its erection, occupies one of the most prominent and healthy positions of the suburbs; suitable in every respect for patients, and for invalids avlio may be aDproaching a condition, of convalescence. The IoAY-er, or ground floor, contains all the necessary apartments to such an establish ment. There is a large kitchen, with ranges, copper, Avater at hand, and e\'ery conA'cnience for cooking on a liberal scale. Also, bath-rooms, scullery, intirniary, museum, drug store, consulting and surgeons, and Avaiting rooms. The store room containing a large stock of flannels, blankets, and changes, is of ample dimen sions. The dining-room is open and airy, capable of accommodating at least one hundred persons. On this floor there is a poAverful lift for the purpose of raising patients or persons with broken limbs, from the loAver to either of the higher storeys with compar ative ease, so as to cause as little pain as possible to sufferers. The wards and ante rooms for private patients arc furnished AY-ith every necessary for physic, food, and cleanliness. A trap-door in tho passage opens for the reception of the dead, and beloAV are immediate appliances and a tram - way for corn-eying bodies to a proper place prior to inquest and interment. The accident ward, library, operation, and Board rooms, Avitli nurses aud other apart ments, are on the middle floor, Avith corres ponding offices, and Nos. 1 and 2 men's wards, looking in opposite directions, each ward containing twenty beds with lockers and AA-iue spaces betAveen. The upper floor is similar in structure and dimensions, Avith 3 and 4 men's ay-aids, attendants apartments, Avith lavatories, bath-rooms, etc. The fever AVards are separate, Avith intervening places, and small gas stoves for Avarmiug gruel and other cordials for the sick. The lavatories are associated AY-ith patent, self-regulating Avater suppliers on a neAV principle, the design of Mr Marks, of Chapel-street, Avho did the plumbing part of the hospital. The baths are especially | convenient and noticeable, as Avithin hand reach, a cold, warm, or sliOAver bath may be at once put in motion by turning one cr other of the taps. Iv a previous notice avc gave the dimensions and sizes of the many rooms, and need not iioav repeat them. The front part of the hospital, adjacent.to the floors, has spacious verandahs, As'ith park-like seats. The enclosures will, avc believe, be formed into beds and borders, set out in order, and adorned with fancy shrubs and choice flowers. Those of the patients who may be Avell enough to enjoy natural scenery Avill be privileged to look upon the most beautiful surroundings of the city, viz.—the domain, cricket ground, the gardens and undulating foliage of neighbouring trees, the A\'aters of the Waitemata, the picturesque locality of the North Shore, and the tops of many blue mountains towering in the distance.

FOOTBALL.

A DUNEDIN TEAM TO VISIT AUCK-

LAND,

The flagging interest in the game of Football is likely to be revived by the news, that the Dunedin Football Club have decided to extend their projected trip to Wellington so as to make it include Auckland and Taranaki. It Avill be recollected that some weeks ago a communication avus received from the Dunedin Club inviting an Auckland team to meet them at Wellington, where it was intended holding a kind of football tournament. This idea did not meet AA'ith the approval of the Auckland players, Avho justly con sidered that after sending a team to Dunedin they Avere entitled to a return of the visit. Subsequent negotiations have resulted in a letter being yesterday received by the Captain of the Auckland Football Club, Avhich states that the Dunedin Club has altered the pro grame of its intended trip, and that their team AY'ill iioav come on to Aucldand. The projected route of the term under the neAV arrangement is as folloYY's : —"Overlandto Christchurch, thence direct to Auckland, playing Taranaki if practicable, return ing' to Nelson and Wellington, and taking Temuka, Timaru, and Oamaru, if time Avill permit." The letter gives the second Aveek in August as the approximate date of team leaving Dunedin, but it promises the exact date of departure, Sec, A\ rill be Avired as soon as possible. Mr Cargill, the writer and secretary of the D. F. C, holds out very little hope of being able to get together their best team. "W c understand that satisfactory arrangements have been made as to the attendant expenses of the visit. A meeting «f the Auckland Football players ay-ill be called at once, to concert moasures for the selection of the Auckland team, and to arrange for the re ception of our visitors.

The proposed football match betAveen Auckland and the Waikato is after all not

to come off. The gentlemen who have interested themselves in getting together the Auckland team, after strenuous en deavours have given up the task ; their efforts up to the present having only been successful in sectoring six certain and tAvo or three doubtful competitors. The state of affairs among the Waikato boys seems to be just as bad, for they liaA'c sent telegrams to Auckland asking for the match to be delayed for a month or so, to enable them to collect a team. The recent accidents have thrown a great damper on this sport, and unless some further modifications are made in the rules it is likely to languish still more. J °

MR BROOMHALL'S PICTURE OF AUCKLAND.

I_ a journal of his journeyings in Ncyv Zealand, Mr Broomhall, of the Manor House, Pengc, Surrey, presents his readers Avith the folloAving gloAving picture of Auckland :—

"Auckland City is a galaxy of emeralds set in diamonds. No tongue can sing, no painter describe one half the glories of this beautiful city. Nature destined it for the capital of the North Island as truly as she destined Welling ton for the capital of an unite*, colony. Auck land is ancient Corinth. Avith this exception : in Auckland everything is neAV and bursting into life ; in Corinth everything is old, with decay on all sides. Tho commerce which gave Corinth its rank among nations has gone : in Auckland it increases from year to year. Mount Eden, an extinct A"olcano, about a mile from the city, presents the tOYvn to A'ie.AV—a mas* of green and verdant fields, Aviththe Manukauharbouron one, and the Waitemata harbour on the other side. The Manukau resembles the human hand, with branches like the thumb and fingers extending miles into the interior. Ships enter at the AY-rist and anchor, and canoes and small boats run along the thumb and fingers far into the country. This harbour has a bar and is accessi ble only at certain times of the tide; but the Waitemata is accessible at all times, day and night; and it is no excessive figure of speech to say these harbours and their branches sparkle in the noonday suu like diamonds, giving a bold relief to the emerald green fields a. hich form the banks of harbours and streams. The people are justly proud of the city, and take an honest pride in pointing out places once swamps, but noAV good macadamised roads. The Bank of New Zealand, a substantial and Avell-arrangcd building of Bath stone, stands in Queen-street, once a swamp, but noAV the principal street in the city. The city is clean, and looks somcAvhat like Kyde, Isle of Wight, vieAVed from the sea. The land being broken and uneven, many of the streets lack Avidth. Great works are iioav in progress to remove and throwinto the sea rocks abutting on the harbour, the process giA'ing a double portion of reclaimed flat land. The AY-ork is done by the Harbour Board, and the land re claimed increases ir value from day to day. It is let on twenty years' lease for siuv mills, work shops, and other purposes, and is, Avith the rcA-enue of theJHarbour Board, a good security for loans. EA'cry Christian denomination is represented by plain but comfortable and sub stantial places of Avorship. The people are generous and kind, and Avelcome labour to their shores, and if it be accompanied by capital will Avelcome it still more."

MEETING OF GEORGE SUTTON'S CREDITORS.

A MEETING of the creditors of Mr George Sutton, grocer, was held to-day. at tke offices of Messrs Hughes and George. There avus a large attendance. It Avas resolved that the estate be as signed to Messrs Herman Brown and B. Tonks, for the benefit of the creditors. The creditor's furniture Avas excepted from the assignment. The liabilities were set down at £4,G33 Ss 4d, including about £500 contingent liabilities, and the assets at about £3,000.

[PRESS AGENCY],

WELLINGTON, this day.

The conference for the suppression of intemperance has concluded its sittings. The second draft of a petition to be sub mitted to the legislature, was adopted Avith the amendment that a clause should be added declaring the present constitution of the Licensing Court unsatisfactory. The members for the city aYe requested to take charge of the petition, and support to the utmost of their poAver. It Avas also resolved to establish a Temperance Society, and a committee of gazetted ministers of religion, as avcll as laymen, Avas appointed to carry out the resolution. A resolution Avasfalso carried that the conference thinks it desirable no neAV publicans' licenses should be issued until after the next session of Parliament, and that this be conveyed to the Licensing Bench.

PACIFIC MAIL SERVICE ARRANGE-

MENTS

Mr Houston, formerly Vice President of the Pacilic Mail Company, is a passenger to Sydney. He has full authority from the Company to conclude such modifications in the Mail Service as may be mutually agreed to by the Ncav Zealand and Sydney Govern ments and himself. He says arrangements have been made *o run special mail train from neAV York to 'Frisco in live days, and that if company's steamers Avere allOAved to leave 'Frisco on arrival of the mail, there Avould be an average savingfof about four days. On the present trip of the City of Sydney the mail arrived at 'Frisco sivty-six hours before the date of sailing, and Avhen the special mail train is run there Avould there fore be still greater loss of time.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.— THIS DAY.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.) HOLLAND and butler v. KELLY, Claim, £51 14s Sd, loss of goods, In this case the plaintiff .binned of defendant, Captain Kelly, commander of the barque Dilpussund, the sum of £62, being the amount of invoice and duty for a portion of the contents of a case consigned to them from London. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr Hesketh for defendant, Mr Russell stated the circumstances which led to the present claim, namely, loss of gold leaf and artists materials, amounting— according to invoice—to £47 Us lid, and worth m Auckland £0414s Sd. The defence was a denial of the claim. John Kelly, master of ill; barque Dilpu£» suud, deposed that he brought out a case (5,306) of goods under a, bill of lading in good condition. He was not informed until the case had been surveyed that there Avas anything wrong about it. He then made enquiries of the ship's clerk, when he was informed by Best that a man had kicked the case and caused it to start. He made no further enquiries. He had previously surveyed the case, and it Avas secure. About tAvo inches were started at the top, at one corner. Mr Russell asked that the case might be brought forward. His Worship -. Do you mean the case in point, or the case that Avas started ? (Laughter.) Captain Kelly then described the con tents as he found them on opening the case, viz., a quantity of gold leaf, some straav, rope, a marlinspike and other things. Mr Hesketh argued that defendant could not be sued on a bill of loading unless the lights of contract had bee* transferred to him by an endorsement. '-~ Mr Russell said that he would prove that defendant had made himself responsible by signing the bill of lading a„d receiving

the goods,

To the Editor: Sir, —A paragraph concern ing Edward LeAvis; bis past actions and plans for the future, apj eared in your Saturday's issue, and is so mis leading that I request you to insert this contradiction. It is true that Edward Lewi, j shoemaker, has b_en lecturing in and about Auckland ; but that l_e intends visiting the principal toAvns in Ncav Zealand and then settle down in his native Shrop shire, is au invention, both as to scttleniei.t and birth place. E. LcA.is in a colonial man, arriving in Wellington iv 1542, and resides at Nelson, from whence, in all pro bability, lie Avill occasionally visit Auckland. To the idea conveyed by your paragiaph, and understood and expressed by some, that his object Avas money making, I Avould reply by stating that his visit Avas in no such si use profitable to him ; that he refused a call to more money to leave preaching, and that no one in Auckland, outside those who invited him, luiA-e been asked or have contributed one penny towards his expenses.—Yours, Sec, E. C.

A lively scene occurred in Vulcan Lane to-day. Three men were detected in the act of stealing towels from the yard of the Occidental Hotel. A constable Avas in the act of taking one of them into custody, and was being gallantly assisted by a representative of our contem porary, AY'lieu, by a sudden jerk, the pri soner, a little man. thre.v both of his custodians over. With his companions however, be was safely secured, and lodged in the lock-up to aAvait magisterial inves tigation.

The interruption of the Penang and Madras cable Avill not interfere with com munication Avith Europe as messages < an go by Penang and Rangoon.

A barque outside Tiri is signalled as Y\-e ixo to press. It. will probably turn out to be the Bella Mary, from 11-bart ToYvn. figA schooner is coming in as avc go to press. Tt looks like the Mary King- from 'liraaru. which left on tne 12th, and brings a cargo of dour, bran, potatoes and other produce.
