Striding of the Taupo.

A PASSENGER'S STATEMENT.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

(From our own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day. The " New Zealand Times " to-day says there is no truth in the report of the. Taupo having struck a rock. Captain Johnson, who held the survey yesterday, informs me positively that the vessel did strike, and it will be necessary she should be docked for repairs on arrival at Dunedin. Several of her plates are much dented, and one started. The latter was temporarily repaired by caulking. No doubt the vessel had a very narrow escape. An inquiry will be held. One of the passengers has given me the following particulars:—" Shortly after one o'clock on Saturday morning, and about an hour after Captain Andrews had turned in, ; the deck at the time being in charge of the second mate, who is new on the coast, the watchman ran forward to the second mate and informed him there were breakers ahead. The officer took no notice, and said he was steering the course given him by the captain. The watchman again shouted "Breakers ahead!" at the same time rushing below and stopping the engines. Then THERE WAS A CRASH, ' the steamer bumping twice. The lamp was smashed, several passengers were thrown out of their bunks, and the steamer appeared to be stationary for about two minutes and theD slid into deep water. By this time the captain and mates and the passengers were on deck, and immense excitement pre vailed. The night was calm, and the water as smooth as glass. After passing over the reef breakers were distinctly observed on either side of the ship. Immediately the vessel was over the reef, the captain ordered all the boats to be got ready, and the can vass was immediately cut away, and all preparations made for lowering them. For tunately the vessel was making no water, and they were not required. However, the boats were kept ready for launching till the arrival in Wellington. THE LADIES DISPLAYED GREAT COOLNESS during the excitement, while a few of the male passengers behaved more like lunatics. When the vessel struck four of Kelly and Leon's troupe were in the smoking room, and two rushed down to assist their compan ions. Mr Beaumont Read and another made for the boats awaiting orders. L eo n was rushing through the ship for the life buoy, and has since slept with a co U p under his head. JAPANESE TOMMY'S ADV ENTTJBE =f Japanese Tommy was tossed out § ._ _? bunk, and collaring in the dark ga s ~ -=5 man's coat, made for the deck. He was NEARLY CRUSHED going upstairs, first being knocked down by Graham, who, in his excitement forgot his glasses, and before reaching the deck was trodden down by four persons. Tommy then immediately jumped into the life-boat. Some most ludicrous scenes are reported. Notwithstanding the assurance of the offi cials at Gisborne that the vessel had not struck a reef, but experienced a shock of earthquake, there was very lit tie sleep done by the passengers. All the ladies remained on deck till arriving at Wellington. The locality of the accident is about seven miles southward of Mawai Point, four and a haif miles north of Tologa Bay. The general opinion of passengers is that Captain An drews is blameless, and that the second officer did not keep the course given him.

THE NIGHT SOIL CONTRACT.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —My attention having been called to a letter signed " Decency," in your issue of Saturday last, re • nuisance caused by the night-men commencing work in Karanga hape Road before the prescribed hours, viz., 11 p.m., I wish to state that I have never had any complaint made to me with refer ence thereto. As to thr carts passing along he street before that hour, perhaps

" Decency " will have the kindness to state where the law is to be found, bearing upon that point, as I do not know, and would be glad of the information.—l am &c, JOHN S. Duke, Inspector of Nuisances for Arch Hill,. Karangahape, and Grafton Bighway Districts.

MISS SHERWIN AT ST. PAUL'S

(To the Editor of the Star.) Sir,—Respecting a surly letter which ap peared in the "Herald" complaining of Miss Sherwin singing in the choir last Sunday, I would remark that it is not the first time such a thing has been doae at St. Paul's Church, as a gifted vocalist take part in the choral portion of the worship. It is well that one clergyman is not so narrow-minded as to exclude from the choir one who happens to live by singing. Re parochial funds there is in the present in stance a mistake, as the offertory went to diocesan purposes, Pension Fund, etc. lam sorry "E.F.," whosenomdeplumemightre present Envious Feeling, did not (if he were present) profit by thepreacher'sremarks about covetousness and conventionality in religion, and more sorry for his sake if he were not present, as the discourse might have done him good.—Yours, &c, G.H.

SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

(PER STAR SPECIAL WIRE)

WELLINGTON, this day. MANDERS ON THE CONFERENCE. MrManders, M.H.R., writes to the "Post', saying that he has written out a notice of motion, to be proposed on the first sitting day of the next session, and was about to give notice when the House was commanded to meet in the Upper Chamber:— " That upon the first day of the next meet ing of this Parliament he will move 'That this House approves of the action takeu by the lion, the Speaker, in refusing to allow a message from the Crown interfering with an Appropriation Act (Pubb'c Works), meets with its full approval.'" ILLICIT DISTILLATIONS, The two persons arrested ou Friday last for having an illicit still on their premises at Palmerston North, were brought before the Resident Magistrate at Marton, on Saturday, and severally lined £100, or in default sentenced to oue year's imprison ment. ARCHDEACON STOCK ON SECULAR EDUCATION. In the course of his sermon at S. Paul's last night, Archdeacon Stock referred to the evils of purely secular education. He declared that it was a well established fact both in England and New Zealand, that the crime of educated men caused the country more expense and trouble than those of ignorant. He also observed that " Larrikin ism,"_as it Wei-: called, was a growing evil in those cities where children were not taught to " render unto Caisar the things that are Cassar's, and unto God the things that are God's." MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. A somewhat strange affair has been reported to the police. On Saturday last a young man about twenty years of age, dressed in sailor's clothes, was seen at Tera whiti by Macnamara, who invited him home to dinner. Afterwards he put him on the road to Makara. The yonng man, who appeared somewhat strangein his behaviour, declined to give his name, but stated that he belonged to the barque Malay, owned by Messrs Beck and Tonics. It subsequently transpired that he did not go to Makara. Yesterday a small boat belonging to Mr Macnamara, which was kept for fishing putposes, Avas missing. In the afternoon, however, it was discovered on the beach with a hole in the bottom, half full of water. D'URVILLE COPPER MINES. The report of Mr S. Herbert Cox, F.G.S., assistant-geologist at the Museum, upon his examination of the D'Urville Island copper ore deposits, is far more satisfactory to shareholders in the mine than the recent discussion at the Philosophical Society would lead one to expect. Dr. ti ector, com menting on the report, says:—"From his report it appears that the ore, following the usual rule, is distributed in bunches or par ticular masses, but in this case the bunches seem to have a very massive development, and one likely to afford ore in a remunera tive quantity. The general average of the ore would give a yield of about 22 tons of copper to 100 tons of ore as mined. Simiiar copper ore is now smelted in New South Wales. The average value of the D'Urville Island ore would be abont £17 per ton less expense of mining, shipping, and smelting. THE WORK OF THE SESSION. The fact that the average number of hours during which the Assembly sat daily was only seven will surprise those who have had to sit out the wearisome debates, and who not unfrequently have walked home in broad daylight, at_the conclusion of a night's sitting. The great majority of the measures which were steered safely through the shoals and quicksands on which so many others were wrecked were of a purely local char acter, though not one came under the category of "private" bills. By far the greater number were utterly useless, but prepared at great trouble and expense to gratify a whim or a passing fit of curiosity on the part of some hon. member.

MISS SHERWIN'S CONCERT.

At the Choral Hall last night there was a large and fashionable audience. Our former critiques having borne testimony to the personal attrac tiveness of this eminent young vocalist, we will limit further remarks to the performance. Miss Sherwin's selections are excellent. Last night she commenced with Blumenthal's " Far away where Angels dwell." The words are melo dramatic in style; the happiness of Paradise is vividly pomtrayed in the concluding part of the song, which throughout appeals to the higher emotions. The influence of such music refines and, elevates the mind, and it gratifies every sentiment when delineated by such extraordi nary talent. Ther^ is a charming recitative in the middle of this song, which was declaimed with wonderful power; The original melody in the major follows, and is in excellent contrast. This piece was rendered with a touching patho3, that appr-aled to every ear. In response to an encore, the fair vocalist gave '-The Message" (Blumenthal), another lofty composition, a. message is desired to be sent to a loved one in Heaven. The floating white clouds could not carry it, neither can the winged bird deliver it; but on the wings of music it is carried safely to Heaven. There is wide scope for musicians to interpret the ideas contained in such poetry. Blumenthal caught the strain, and no better delineator of his style could be desired than Miss Sherwin. The next song was " Auld Robin Gray," sung with great tenderr.ei-s of feeling; Professor swallow playing the accompaniment in his own perfect style, showing how much could be made out of a few. notes, the piano almost seeming to sing, in imitation of the voice, but the tone was so subdued as not in the slightest degree to mar the melody. The grand duo "De Conte" (Norma), br Miss Sherwin and Miss Davenport, was well sung, the voices' blending admirably. They kept together in charming style, which is a great point in concerted music. After the interval, Mis 3 Sherwin sang, for the second time, "Birdie," (by Professor Swallow). Having had more time to study the piece, she articulated the rapid passages very skilfully, and received at the close the most enthusiastic encore of the evening, and the most profuse Bl>ower of bouquets, which the professor picked up, and tendered to her iv unexceptionable st) le. Miss Sherwin responded with the " Blue Danube Waltz," singing it in a very piquant, dainty manner. Miss Sherwin's cloeing performance was the "11 dolce suono," from "Lucia" Mr Harding was in splendid voice, and eang with better effect than on any previous occasion. The duet " What Here," from " Trovatore " (Miss Sherwin and Mr Harding), gave great satisfaction, receiving a<i encore. Mr Harding sang "The Yeoman's Song" with great success, and was encored. Miss Daven port sang with her usual pleasant voice and pre cision. Mr Cope played in fine style, and v*as loudly applauded, and Mr Turrell as accom panyist rendered efficient service We must not forget to mention Signor Pompei's cavatina, " Largo al factotum," which was indescribably good, and gained well-deserved applause and an encore. ___ TO-MORROW'S CONCERT. An immense programme is prepared for to morrow night's concert at the Choral Hall, con sisting of 19 selections, vocal and instrumental. The band of the Choral Society will give four pieces, and aIBO assist throughout the evening. Miss Amy Sherwin will sing Rome admirably chosen selections, among them " Swedish Volkslied" (sung with great succe.-s by Jenny Lind), and also others of great merit. Mr Harding's name again appears, also Signor Riccardi's, who will sing a new nnißical compo sition by Professor Swallow. The success which has attended the production of " Birdie," will lend special interest to the new song which has been written especially for Signor Riccardi. This concert is Miss Sherwin's final one, as her departure is arranged by the next steamer.

DISSENTERS INSULTED.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —As a business man my time is too much occupied to attempt an elaborate reply to the insulting article that appeared in the "Herald" of Saturday last; neither have I the ability to do justice to the subject. But the contumely with which the writer treats Dissenters generally, and dissenting ministers in particular, is sufficient to excite the ire of every Dissenter in the city. To talk of " The clergymen of other Churches being all at a dead and stagnant level, each employed only in a very small corner of the vineyard, and each having but a meagre salary," is contrary to fact, and insulting to ministers of other denominations. As a Dissenter, I am far from thinking that it is desirable for all men who seek to influence public opinion, or even ministers of the gospel, to be on a level with the people they seek.to instruct; but when the writer puts forward the statement that, " The Episcopal Churches have positions to be stow of wide influence, of high rank, of power, enabling those who possess them to associate with the best in the land," he reminds me of a story reported of Carlyle the historian : A lady in a large party, more noted for talkativeness than her good sense, obtmded her question upon the popular author—"Don't you think, Mr Carlyle, that if our Lord Jesus Christ made his appear ance now, we should treat him much better than the cruel Jews did ?" The reply was characteristic—" If Jesus Christ had' been introduced by a prelate or the leading aristocracy, I might have received a card of invitation from My Lady to meet Him, but if he came down from Heaven and mixed with publicans and sinners as Jesus Christ did of old, you would treat him in the same way, or send Him to the tower and hang Him." Put the writer in the position of the lady referred to, and the story will tally. The writer's faith in the progress and influence of the Gospel is evi dently associated with high salaries and lawn sleeves, yet it may be asserted with truthfulness that for biblical knowledge and classical attainments Dissenters are quite on a level with the Episcopalians; hence iv the new translation of the scrip tures, Dr Angus, of Regent Park College, and other Dissenters, form part of the Royal Commission ; and for religious and political influence, men like Spurgeon, Dr Parker, Newman Hall, Dr Allon, Dr Puncheon, and others are not second in their pulpit talent "and influence to the Bishop of Lon don. I admit that Episcopalians and the stereotyped form of worship they adopt is well suited to tbe views and habits of their worshippeis, and if in England they were

only separated from the State, and their unjust State pay, there are many ministers "> amongst them that would be second to ; none of our Dissenting ministers for religious influence; but so long as this _ standing injustice to Dissenters remains, their power over the masses is lost —for they never reach them. Statistics prove this statement. The extracts from ■Or. Vaughan's address, referring to the Society of Jesus," or Jesuits, being about to take charge of the educational question of the day in these colonies—denomina tional or secular—leads to the inference that the proprietors of the "Herald" must have gone over to the Roman Catholic faith or engaged a Roman Catholic editor Of course they are entitled to do either, but surely it is time we knew under! what colours -we are sailing.—l remain, yoiirs truly, Joseph Newman. '

HARBOUR BOARD.—This Day.

The Harbour Board met this afternoon. Present:-Messrs Boylan (chairman), J. C. Firth, Brown, T. Hill, T. T. Masefield, McKenzie, Thome, Melton, Casey, Eaton. Daldy, Cosgrave, Isaacs. COMMUNICATIONS. Letter from Mr J. B. Russell, expressing his opinion that there was no clause in any Act which would provide for the appropri ation of the funds of the Board for Regatta purposes. Letter from Mr J. A. Tole, in reference to the Board's Amendments on the Harbour Act, 1878, and to the alterations made in the bill. Also stating that the bill would not come iuto operation until January next, and the Board's leases would therefore not be affected. Ou the motion of Mr Daldy, the thanks of the Board were passed to Mr Tole. Letter from Mr Hilditch offering to ex pend capital in repairing and improving the baths, if his lease were extended. Referred to Works Committee. Letter from Mr W. Errington, stating that he had drawn the attention of the contractor to leakages in the Dock. On the motion of Mr Firth it was agreed that Mr Errington call the attention of the contractor to the leaks, in order that the Dock may be taken orer. It was understood that a legal opinion be taken on the matter. WORKS AND ENDOWMENT COMMITTEE. On the motion of Mr Boylan, the name of Mr T. T. Masefield >vas added to the Works and Endowment Committee. ENGINEER OF DOCK. The following applications for the posi tion of engineer of the dock were received. George Gow, Wetherley, Thomas Ryan, H. Grey, H. W. Chisard, Wallace, Thomas Stevenson, J. Beith. i On the motion of Captain Casey, seconded by Captain Daldy, Thomas Stevenson was appointed. BANKING ACCOUNT. Mr. Melton moved the following notice of motion standing in his name : " That the necessary notice be given—viz., twelve months—to the Bank of New Zealand to terminate the Harbour Board's agreement with that Bank." Mr Melton spoke in support of his motion. He believed better terms might be obtained if tenders were called. Mr McKenzie seconded the motion, which was similar to one which he had brought forward some time ago. The proper course to adopt was to call for tenders, although the Bank oi New Zealand might offer the best terms Mr Masefield supported the resolution. Captain Daldy said the previous resolu tion bad not been rescinded. He opposed the resolution. Mr Cosgrave agreed with Captain Daldy in reference to the previous resolution not having been rescinded. Mr Casey threatened to move an"_mend ment to call for tenders every three months. The motion was put. For (5) : Messrs Melton, Brown, Isaacs, Masefield, and McKenzie. Against (8) : Messrs Firth, Hill, Daldy, Cosgrave, Eaton, Thorne, Casey, and Boylan.

The motion was therefore lost,
