ARRIVAL OF THE MENDOZA.

The barque Mendoza, which has been anxiously expected for some time past, arrived in harbour yesterday afternoon from London, after a lengthy passage of 114 days from Deal.

The long voyage was chiefly caused by calms and contrary winds, which were experienced *?;. nearly the whole of the passage. The vessel wa=i anchored at the powder ground, for, the purpose of discharging1 15 tons of powder oh board. The Mendoza left London on the 18th of December, and on reaching GravesGnd_ the same day took in the powder. Was detained there by a dense fog until the 20th. Passed Deal the day following, and was towed down to Dungenness on the 23rd, the Channel pilot leaving at the Isle of Wight. Here we secured a strong westerly breeze. On the 26th Lizard lights bore E N E. 15 miles away, and when between the Lizards arid Ushantthe same even ing, strong gales from the N.W. set in, with heavy seas carrying away the lower foretopsail. Thenc?|to Cape'de Venie Islands variable winds and calms. The Line was crossed on the 22nd Januarj, in long. 25*50 W., 32 days from Deal. A succession of calms and light airs were experienced to the meredian of Greenwich, which was crossed on February 22nd, in lat. 5620 S., the ship's bottom fouling fast, retarding the proarress of the barque. Passed the Cape of Good Hope on February 26th. Thence we had calms, easterly and variable winds, accom panied with thick fog and heavy cross seas to long. 55 E. Off Tasmania on the 31at ult.; the wind veered to the S.E.. with nasty disagreeable weather following the vessel. Cape Maria Van Dieraen was made early on Saturday, and for the remainder of the day a strongE.N.E. breeze was encountered, and the barque sailed along the coaEt at fully 10 knots per hour. The Mendcza comes into port iv a very clean con dition, and this fact reflects the highest credit upon her worthy skipper. She brings no cargo, but a full cargo of merchandise. She will come tip the harbour immediately after discharging her cargo.

ARRIVAL OF THE ROTORUA.

The s.s. Rotorua arrived in narbour win Sydney at 4.30 this afternoon just as we were going to press. She left on the 10 hh, and ha "> therefore, made a remarkably quick passage.

Anderson and Co.'s new schooner, built by Messrs Niccol and and Co., on Saturday afternoon, passed off very satisfactory. There was a very good attendance of persons interested. As the vessel glided down the ways into her native element, ehe was christened the " Talisman," by Miss Sarah Niccol, who performed the ceremony extremley well. The Talisman is a very fine, substantially built schooner, and is a credit to the firm who has constructed her. She has been bnilt of the very best materials, and will be found to be a very staunch little craft. She is fore-and-aft rigged, and all the necessary gear, canvas, &c, has been supplied by Mr H. FT Anderson. The schooner has been brought over from the North Shore, and will commence to load immediately for Tahiti. We hope the Talisman will prove a credit to the shipbuilding industry of Auckland, and at the same time prove a success to her builders. Captain Trayte takes command Of the vessel. The schooners Ocean, Wave of Life, Blsinore, and Onward arrived with cargoes of coal from Russell yesterday. The schooner Minnehaha left Lyttelton for Auckland on Saturday with a ca-igo of grain.

Every day's cable despatches introduce some new and troublesome element into the vexed Eastern question. tThose of to-day are the most puzzling and most unfavourable to England's policy that have come along the wires for some weeks. "We are told that while Germany is doing her utmost to reconcile England and Ruasia on the basis of mutual concessions, Austria has joined Germany in administering a rebuff to the Roumanian appeal against the cession of Bessarabia to Russia. Another telegram states that Austria is negotiating with the Porte for au occupation of Bosnia and Her zegoviua with Austrian troops. The telegrams are only explicable on the supposition that General Ignatieffs mission was not the complete failure represented, and that there is still some stability iv the Triple Alliance. Roumania appealed confidently to the Powers that guaranteed her independence and integrity, and was entitled to expect that her protest against forcible deprivation of territory would be upheld. Much more was she justified in believing that the Powers which had put the Russian frontier back from the Danube, after a costly war, would maintain the free navigation of the river. It appears, however, that Germany and Austria have other fish to fry. The latter Power, always unreliable and vacillating in its policy, has shown a greater fear of the independence of its Slav neighbours than of Russian aggression. Containing a!" population of 3,150,000 Crotians and Servians, and a large Slav element that may be disturbed Try the adjoining territories, Austria, perhaps, thinks it a fair exchange for Russian occupation of Bulgaria and the cession of Bessarabia to get military possession of the fine provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which find their by the sea, through the strip of Austrian territory known as Daluiatia. This view of the subject is anything but com forting, and we have hope that

Austria -will yet pursue a more noble policy, although ife is true that the history of past alliances between Austria and Russia against Turkey, the dealings with its own Hungarian subjects, and the chicanery and indecision which marked its timid and half hearted support of the allies in the Crimea, are not conducive to confidence in Austrian assistance under circumstances that call for a bold, determined policy. There is .thm other interpretation of the Bosnian occupa tion—that it is intended as a counter movernent to the Russian occupation Of Bulgaria, but then what of the unfriendly answer to Roumania ? It is difficult to say what England will do if the programme inferentially suggested by to-day's tele grams is determined upon between Russia, Germany, and Austria. Her interests in the Bessarabian question are insignificant compared with those of Austria ; and if her demands in respect of the navigation of the Dardanelles are conceded, it is hard to see why she should interfere to deliver Austria from an unpleasant neighbour. The pro babilities, however, still favour the belief that war will become the final arbiter in the dispute.

Our report of to-day's proceedings in the Police Court, a letter by the Rev. S, Edgeron "The Rod in Schools," various letters on the " Working Men's Club.' 8 and other topics appear on our fourth page. The death of Bishop Selwyn was referred to in a feeling manner at nearly all the churches in the city and suburbs ye?torday. At St. Paul's the pulpit, altar, &c, were draped in black, and the Rev. C. M. Nelson before commencing his sermon referred to the sad event very sorrowfully. " Surely he said it is not too much to say that by the death of Bishop JSelwyn, God has removed from us the great fathar of the New Zealand Church." At St. Mary's, Parnell, the Yen. Archdeacon Maunsell preached from Ecclesiastes ill., 21. " Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth," and referred at some length to the late Bishop's arduous labours in New Zealand. At St. Matthews Dr. Bur rows preached a special funeral sermon in the evening, taking his text from Revelations xiv., part of the 30th verse—'' That they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them." The altar and pulpit at All Saints', Ponsouby, were draped in black, and the Rev. E. N. Brce preached an eloquent funeral sermon. St. Selpulchre's was also in mourning, and the Rev. Mr Dudley founded an impressive discourse on the words, " Watch with me." At St. Peter's, Onehunga, Mr Tomlinson preached a funeral sermon in the evening, taking for his text, " Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus"—Phil, eh. xi., v. 5. A grand complimentary concert will be given this evening in the Theatre Royal for the benefit of the Winchcomb family, and to which we called attention in a paragraph on the 12th instant. The programme embraces a scene from the " Honeymoon," a selection from the " Lady of Lyons," scenes from Shakespeare, Wolsey'sjjFall (by Alexander Smith), and several comic and sentimental songs. The members of the Hobson Corps of Volunteers are requested to attend a monthl> inspection parade to-morrow evening, at the usual hour. The following meetings will be held this evening :—(1). the Trade meeting of the tailors, at half-past seven o'clock. (2). The Panmureratepayers' meetingin thePanmure Hotel, at seven o'clock. (3). The annual meeting of the Onehunga Bible Society, in the Masonic Hall, with music, and speeches by Yen. jArchdeacon Maunsell and other ministers. (4). A special meeting of the Auckland Naval Brigade, and (5) compli mentary concert at the Theatre Royal. Officers who are willing to take part in the projected sham fight are invited to a meeting this evening to consider the pro posed plan, and fix the date for holding the same. Alfred Preece, of Coroniandel, and Thorn ns Montgomery, of Hamilton, have been ap pointed Interpretei-s under the Native 1 cuds The following cadets nave been appointed in the Surveyor General's Department: — F. O. Fisher, H. M. Smith, J. I. Philips.

To the Editor : Sir,—l beg to return my sincere thanks to those kind friends who contributed their donations to me round about Mount Eden, on behalf of the widow and orphans of the lateMathew McConkey, who died so suddenly in the Hospital, on the 7th April, 1878.—Yours, etc., William Black, Warder, Mount Eden Gaol. Mrs McConkey sends the following : Sir,— I beg to acknowledge with thanks the sum of £12 13s collected by Mr. William Black, Warder of Mount Eden Gaol, on my be half.—Yours, etc., Mrs McConkey. A gazette notice announces that the Right Rev. William Garden Cowie, Bishop of Auckland, has been appointed honorary chaplain to the Auckland Artillery Volun teers.

Mr Kennedy, M.H.R., the hero of the "reat privilege question raised last session, Kas sent in the resignation of his seat for Grey Valley. Mr W. H. Harrison, who represented the same district in the former Parliament, and at present editor of the " Grey River Argus," will probably be elected without opposition. The losses by the Christchurch fire, of which particulars appeared in our issue of Saturday last, are reported as : South British, £1,000 to £1,200 ; National, £1,000 ; Liverpool and London, £1,000. The Hon. Mr Stout ia expected to return to Wellington about the end of the present month. The following gentleman have been ap pointed Rangers under "The Protection of Animals Act 1873" in the Provincial Dis trict of Auckland :—Messrs J. B. Poynter. R. J.

The fol lowing Constables are appointed to the same duty within the Auckland Provincial Districts -.—Sergeants McGovern, Russell, Constables Clarke, Coughlan, William Day, Dews, James Gillis, Gordon, Graham, Hammond, McKnight, O'Reilly. A notification in the " Gazette" appoints the following gentlemen to be Judges oi Assessment Courts :—Municipality, W. N. Searancke ; Parnell aud Onehunga, li. C. Barstow.

A rifle contest between the English and • Irish teams is now on the tapis. The gal lant captain of No. 3 Company (Captain Morrow) is selecting a team for the purpose, and from the number of the competitors of the Emerald Isle we have no doubt but a close match is anticipated. Lieutenant Skinner., of the Victoria Company, we be lieve, will captain the Englisu team, who is indefatigable on all occasions. The lion, the Premier left Onelmnga in the Government steamer Hinemoa for Wel lington on Saturday afternoon, and en route will call at Colliugwood, Nelson, Picton, and Blenheim. Sir George Grey is ex pected to return to Auckland before the end of the month, in order to attend the native meeting at Hikuraugi. From and after to-day, previous rates for the conveyance of fowls on the New Zea land railways are cancelled, and fowls pro perly secured in crates or baskets will be carried at parcel rates. Musical instru ments will be carried under clai3s A at double rates.

The " ThamesSStar," with the obstinacy of impudent ignorance, and smarting under the gentle correction which we administered respecting our contemporary's confounding the scientific term, " kitchen midden" with a Scotch word ot inoderous import, accuses us of copying the definition from an Ecyclo psedia. The fact i.°, the definition of the phrase was taken from Stormouth's Eng lish Dictionary. It is a pity that the editor of the " Thames Star" does not possess either an Encyclopaedia or a dictionary,, as he would thereby be saved from the numerous ridi culous blunders into which he is constantly falling, from over-weeping conceit in his own superficial knowledge. Bro. W. Lodder, who has filled the office of TV". M. during the past year was presented with a.handsome Past Master's jewel. The lodge is in a very flourishing condition.

Cooper and Bailey's circus opened in Wellington on Saturday last. A Gazette of April 4th proclaims the Auckland Dog Nuisance Act in force in the County of Waitemata. The following officers have been duly installed at a meeting of Masonic Lodgo for the year :—Bro. Henry Rees George, W.M. ; Bro. William', Lodder, I.P.M. ; Bro. HbnryHaase, S.W.;Bro. Augustus V. Macdonald, I.W. ; Bro. Charles Hesketh, Organist; Bro. John James, Treasurer; Bro. William Rattray, Secretary'; Bro. Josiah Martin, S.D. ; Bro. John McColl, 1.D.; Bro. James Hardie, 1.G.; Bros.

We are informed that the amateur singers of Auckland are making arrangements for holding an entertainment for the benefit of Mrs!Lampra,whosehusbandwasaccidentally killed a short time ago at Messrs Crowther's stables. The object is a. very charitable one, and we feel sure would meet with well deserved support.

Mr Fantham's farm, near Cambridge, was visited the other day by the Premier and party. This faim is at the present time undergoing considerable improvement. Nearly 200 acres of new land have been ploughed up and sown in grass, thus adding to the already large area of pasturage. The paddocks laid down by the former pro prietor, Mr Reynolds, some years ago, look very well, and have this year carried a considerable number oE cattle and sheep. Mr Fantham has among his herds, cattle which have gained the leading prizes in Southern shows. They were exhibited in very indifferent condition at the show in October last, but they seem now to have become quite acclimatised to the Cambridge air temperature, and are fat and flourish ing. The young bull, Lord Darlington 2nd, has greatly improved since the Cambridge Show. He has grown considerably; his prime condition, and the possession of those rare proofs of the highest breeding apparent in his form and quality, make him quite a picture bull, and one which his owner may well be proud of. He is advertised for the season at 40 guineas per service. In the paddeck are four of his progeny by prize cows. One calf out of Rosebud, lately calved, has been purchased by Mr Walker for £150. The other calves look very heal thy, and are good thrivers, shewing lots of quality. The young roan heifer, Countess of Ouehunga, wiiich was born in a railway truck at the station of the above famous borough, is doing unexpectedly well, and bids fair to become a highly valuable addi tion to Mr Fantham's herd.

The Whakatane correspondent of the Bay of Plenty "Times" states that 113 natives have gone on a visit of several months' duration to the Thames. The party comprises several eminent carvers, who will assist in the carving of Taipari's new house.

As a great many deserters from H.M. Regiments are now in the colony, and some are desirous to see their friends at homo, it is as well to warn them that the instant they land in England they are liable to be apprehended. A reply which has been received from England to an application made for a protecting certificate for a man so situated runs thus : "I beg to inform you that no man is entitled to a property cer tificate, though as long as he remains in the colony ho is safe; but as- soon as he sets foot in England, he becomes liable to be apprehended, and all or any property he may have become possessed of, confis cated."

Mr. C. J. Osborne is gazetted clerk of the Kesident Magistrate's Court at Mangapai. The specimens from the Union Beach lodged at the National Bank, Coromandel, are as rich as any taken out in the past. They will probably be sent to Auckland to feast the eyes of shareholders. A correspondent of the " Canterbury Press" states that a rumour is current in Wellington that Sir W. Fitzherbert will resign the Speakership and assume the leadership of the Opposition, Major Atkin son agreeing to follow him. A meeting of creditors in the estate of W. H. Nicol, adjourned from Friday last, was held to-day in the Supreme Court office, when, after considerable discussion, Mr. S. Brooking was appointed trustee to bankrupt's estate. The liabilities were set down at £300, assets nil.

Our contemporary the "Thames Ad vertiser" is in error in stating that Te Tauiwha! surrendered the mana of hia land to Bishop Selwyn and Lieut.-Governor Hobion. The latter died several years before the event referred to, and was succeeded by Mr Shortland as Acting Governor, Governor Fitzroy, and Sir Geo. Grey. The last-mentioned was the Governor at the time of the surrender of the mana.

An accident occurred on board H.M.S. Wolverine on Tuesday last at Tauranga. Whilst an order to man the yards was being carried out, a sailor fell off the rigging, breaking one arm and spraining both wrists. The preparations for the benefit which has been tendered to Mr Harding by a num ber of our prominent amateurs are proceed ing actively. A rehearsal takes place to-morrow evening at half-past seven o'clock at the Theatre Royal. The performance takes place on Wednesday evening, and there is every prospect of its being a great success.

At the annual meeting of tho Working Men's Club at Napier, the statement of accounts shewed: total receipts £460; expen diture, £435. The assets were valued at £218. The Club is in a very flourishing condition.

Directly the Justices took their seats on the Bench this morning at the Police Court, a man named Hassard, who appeared to be in a very excited state, demanded permission to ask the magistrates a ques tion. "I want to know," he said, " whether it is the custom of this Court to take a man into custody without a charge being preferred against him." Mr Mitford requested him to explain his reasons for asking the question, but the only answer that could be elicited was in loud, excited tones, " I merely ask the question." Mr. Mitford : " Well, air, we are not your legal advisers. If you want the point settled I should think you had better consult a lawyer." Mr. Hassard thanked the Bench sarcastically, and, turning round, was about to address the spectators, when he was handed somewhat unceremoniously out of Court. Mr Hassard has on previous occa sions made extraordinary statements to the police.

The man who attempts to light his cigar at the town pump ia justly regarded as an object of ridicule by his fellow-citizens, and by the constable on duty as a fit subject to be incontinently "run in." But it would appear from a paragraph in our morning contemporary, that cold water is possessed of such dangerous inflammable qualities as to render it dangerous to life and property. The "Herald" says :—"Fireman Stanley, who is employed daily in watering the streets of the city, asserts that he has several times seen an old man in the place, nnd on one occasion he aroused him by turn ing a jet of water on him. This may account for the outbreak of fire which was so nearly destroying a large amount of valu able property on Saturday night." The statement that " a jet of water" set a saw-mill on fire deserves to be recorded amongst the most important scientific dis coveries of the age. Our only wonder is that the old man escaped alive. As to the origin of the numerous recent fires in Auck land, there need be no longer any mystery; and if a jet of water is possessed of such dangerous inflammable qualities as the above-quoted paragraph clearly implies, the City Council have much to answer for, and the sooner the Fire Brigade is abolished, the better for the safety of the city. There may be after all some danger of our contemporary setting the Waitemata on fire.

During the progress of thelwatch-stealing case at the Police Court this morning, the witness, Emily Diver, interfered so fre quently with Bench, witnesses, and police that it beaame necessary to take her into custody till the rising of the Court, when she was advised by the Bench to keep her tongue quiet in futureand then discharged.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

An' adjonrned me^tinrr of the* Board of Education avhb held at the offices of the Board, .WyTidham-strcet, this afternoon. Present :—Dr. Campbell (is the chair); Messrs D. M. Luckie, J. M. Dargaville, F. L. Prime, F. F. Lusk, W. P. Moat, J. May, G. M. Ollorke aiH T. M. Haultain. GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL. The report of tha Committee was read, recommendfng that Mr Neil Heath be appointed Head Master, at a salary of £500, Mrs Heath to superintend the boarding arrangements, the engagement to be terminable by six months' notice. Mr Dargaville thought three months sufficient. PUBLICITY.

It was moved and seconded that the re port of. the Committee be adopted. The summary of the report re office having been read, it -was resolved that the report be laid on the table in order that it might be published in the papers. Dr. Campbell said the reporters were here on sufferance, and not by right. Mr Luckie said that if that were so he moved that all the proceedings of the Board be made public henceforth. His object in proposing that the report be laid on the table was that it might be published. Colonel Haultain said he was prepared to second Mr Luckie's motion. Dr. Campbell said the motion ought for several reasons to be very carefully worded. It. was resolved that unless otherwise ordered, the meetings of the Board be opened to the public. Mr Dargaville moved that the report of the Committee re the office be laid on the table, to be considered at the next meeting of the Board. Mr O'Eorke proposed, and Mr Dargaville seconded, thai all documents laid on the table be considered public. APPLICATIONS FOR TREASURER-SHIP.

There were sixteen applications for tlio treasurership. Mr Dargaville proposed, and Mr Lusk seconded, that each member of the Board should select a name and write it down on a piece of paper, and send it in to the Chair man. The applications were handed round and inspected by the members, after which it was resolved to proceed with the election on Mr Dargaville's plan. iJr. Campboll announced that Major Green was elected.

REPLY TO MR FULLER.

(To the Kditor'of the StvitO

Sir,—Mr Fuller who styles himself Secretary to the L.V.A., writes to the effect that a fraudu lent local appeared in Friday's Stak. Snch re marks are fraught with danger, aDd only excus able when they emanate from a bilious or otherwise unhealthy person. The neglect in not advertising our annual meeting allows of no iustLfication, and I most emphatically deny on behalf of the committee that economy was ever studied with regard to advertising-, publicity having been at all times advocated in our meet ings. Tbe3e omiss'ona, I grieve to say, are not singular, and bring upon him the necessary reprimands. The Secretary receives from us a handsome salary, which, together with an ex traordinary consumption of stationery, absorbs more than half our annual receipts. Our funds are not intended to succour of foster idleness or to defy the lawa that govern those that embark in this 'perilous trade ; neither can we afford to encourage remissness or inattention on the part of our servant.—Youth, etc., Vbkitas Odium Pasit.
