EDUCATION.

(To the Editor)

g lß) —Your correspondent ot yesterday, 8.C., I am sorry to note, evidently be lieves in the justness of his case against the common school system. It is a pity that warmth of fealing should have caused such mental obliquity in so intelligent a person. How can he say that the Catholics believes as follows :—" The mental food provided in these schools would be detri mental to the mental constitution of our children. It may agree very well with yours. Their mental stomachs may not nauseat it. But it is not so with ours; if they are forced to partake of it, it will bring on mental indispo sition and end in death?" 8.C., do you really mean that Catholics believe that lessons in reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, &c., as taught in the common schools, have such results when applied to tlie young minds of Catholic children ? or that such are so constituted as to be unable to bear tuition on elementary matters? As for your illustration, it don't apply ; for your seventh man can and does partake, aud thrives on the provisions. The truth is that your seventh man wants something beside for which the others have no taste, aud they say : Very well, if you want that do as we do, provide for it your self without murmuring.—l am, &c, E.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

In reply to the telegram sent by Mr Shee han, the following telegraphic communica tion has been received, from Kewi : " I have got your telegram asking if I had been asked by my people to return to Waikato before March next. I say that is true. They have asked me, but I consider there is no necessity tor making .such a request, and I do not intend to leave this place until you two come again. My word about the Waiapu murder is that your action in that matter is good. I am a man who never at any time lent my self to murder. My house, about the build ing of which I sent you word'some time ago, is not yet finished." Another telegram from Eewi to the Native Minister says: Judge Thomas lias been here. What he said went in one 'ear and out of the other. I will not pay heed to thas man's words until Sir George Grey an'd'Mr Sheehan recommend him to me, and say what their thoughts are with re gard to him. We had the same plan brought to our notice years ago by another Indian man with half a Siiliioa of money. We rejected it then as now. I have been asked by wire my opinion of Thomas by other chiefs. I gave the same answer. I did not come to Waifcara to be annoyed by m ■ '

strangers. If you (Mr Sheehan) or Sir George Grey wish me to entertain strangers aknd. letters with them. . , -, .

Australian News.

(PERS.S. CITY OF NEW YORK.)

! COURTNEY AND TRICKETT,

OUE professional rowing men will have.to look to their laurels, as will be seen by the following challenge of Courtney s. He has resolved co come to Australia to contest the championship. Charles E. Courtney of Union Springs, U.S., has published the following challenge : " 1 will row any man ' in this country any usual distance, for any reasonable amount, on any lake, river, creek, or pond, where there is room for one boat to pass another, and oive or take actual and reasonable expenses. But when I pay a man $1 500 for expenses—the largest amount ever offered in the world in any kind of sport --I think I have a right to select tne woter, provided I choose a good and fair course. I do not ask any man to travel any h} vih™ than lam willing to go myself. I should have started for Australia last December had not the news papers Trickett's challenge in which he said he would come to America and row hero against any American sculler, and if he does not come here I will go there next winter and row him over his own course for the championship of the world. If any Eng lish sculler will come here and make a match for §5000 a-side, I will allow him §1000 for expenses, or I will go there on the same terms. If they will not do either of these things I will, as 1 have leisure, go to England, paying my own expenses, and try to find some man who is not _ afraid to row me an even match over a fair course. I have offered fair terms to every man in America, and e.o one accepts. They say I am not champion, but the men who claim to be champions will not make a match Avith m 3. How can I ever get to be champion if no one will row against me, and how can men claim to be champions aud still refuse fair offers for a champion ship match ?" A PLUCKY WOMAN MAKING A CLEVER CAPTURE. At night, about 8 o'clock, Mrs Peterson, land-lady of the Oriental Hotel, Sydney, imagined that she heard some "rumpling" in one of the bedrooms, and upon instituting inquires, a ruffian darted for the door. The good lady was eqnal to the emergency, and with commendable courage and presence of mind, she seized the fellow by the tail of the claw-hammer coat, and cried for assitance. Her husband was on the scene iv no time, and completed the capture of the would be thief—who turned out to be a gaol-bird who had only a few days since been liberated from his cage in Darlinghurst. NEW VICTORIAN LOAN. The Government loan is to be for £5,000,000, at 4J per cent. This amount will include £1,043,020 for the purchase of the Hobson's Bay Railway; £200,000 for the new law courts, Parliament-houses, public buildings, &c. ; £200,000 for State schools; and £2,500,000 for new railways.

The War in New Caledonia

By the City of New York, we have later ac counts of the military operations against the natives in New Caledonia. The special cor respondent of the "Sydney Morning Herald," writing from the headquarters, camp of Boulapari, on August sth : —" An open shed, covered with bark, forms our salle-a-manger. It is pleasant to dine thus in fine weather with a look out on to the star-spangled heavens. My friend, the Doctor, introduced me to some of the officers who had been stationed here since the first establishment of the camp a month ago. There was the gay and witty captain of marines, who bears the distinguished title of of Etienne Philibert Rene de la Follye de Joux. He isfrom Burgundy, and will crack sardonic jokes or slay Cauaques alike carelessly. Captain de Joux (as we call him shortly) was in command of the only expedition where there has been any real fighting,, and from an English mounted volunteer I hear that he bore himself bravely, as became one of his name. For in spite of all the reports in Noumea the natives have never faced the French soldiers. In this instance they in large numbers attacked the rear guard of the troops which had burnt their villages, firing and throwing spears at them from the bush. This is all they will do. The nonsense which is talked about the natives being possessed of a great knowledge of military tactics is absurd. If Atai (the presumed head and front of the rebellion) had a knowledge of warfare, even to the amount possessed by a Sioux chief, he could have made things remarkably unpleasant for the denizens of tho camp at Bouloupari. But in truth after the first bloody outbreak and easy victory achieved over the defenceless, the natives have never attempted to attack armed white men. They are afraid of the soldiers, and really I think the feeling is reciprocal. It is true that the night before I arrived here, a Canaque threw a spear, to which some burning grass was attached, into the bark roof of the building inhabited by the convicts, twenty paces from the stockade. Then he dived into the bush un harmed by the shots of the sentries. It is true the morning before, the bakehouse at the old convict camp, 500 yards from where I write, was first plundered of the loaves destined for the daily consumption, and then fired. But these are individual cases of bravado, in the latter there were no soldiers nearer than the stockade. It seems strange, however, that the bakehouse and provender should have been nightly left at the mercy of the enemy. A new oven has, however, been built within tho line of sentries. After an hour's digestive chat, I had a walk with Dr. Lossouarn outside the Stockade. Under their mi-mis the tired soldiers were sleeping. In front was a large fire, kept up all night by some con victs detailed for that purpose. This is supposed to afford light, in the event of a rush of the natives, to enable the troops to distinguish friend from foe. But to my mind it would also serve admirably to show the Canaques their victims. A few deter mined men could make a rush through the camp, bnrn and kill, and disappear in the bush again without hindrance. That the soldiers are not harassad by night attacks, prove to me that the natives have no know ledge even of savage warfare, and are afraid of the military. True, I am told that the Canaques dread travelling at night on account of the evil spirits haunting the shades, and also that the cold affects them. Still, they must have overcome this repug nance when they fired the bakehouse the other day before sunrise.

THEATRE ROYAL.

" Struck Oil" was repeated last nicrht at the Theatre Royal, by Messrs Baker andJTarron, to the delight of a large and respectable audience. We pointed out the peculiar merits of this drama in the previous notice, and have little to add by way of recommendation. The drama is full of striking incidents, founded upon the facts of the great civil war in America, and. the dis covery of Pennsylvaniai oil wells, which, give the title to the drama. The several acts, includ ing Stofel'a home, and the associations of the village; the soldier's life in the camp, and at Pittsburg; discovery of the wells, and the struck oil :are all wrought with dramatic skill, interspersed with song, and representations of more or less interest, and, as a whole, eminently pleasing. The drama w'll be repeated this evening. ___ ]

After the lire has drawn up, Coke may be added in small lumps (not in large masses), either alone or mixed with Coal A fire made in this way is better for not being stirred, so long as there is space between the fragments of fuel for a free euirent of air. The value of Coke as a fuel and as a means of economy of Coal is hardly appreciated sufficiently. ' A mixed fuel of Coal and Cokeis invaluable forthe ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking, as it absorbs the smoke or in flammable gases given off by Coal du-ing combustion, and renders .the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter, than it can be made by any other means.—[Advt.l ,
