(Press Agency.)

CHRISTCIIURCH,

This day. Mb Mttkeav-Aynsley addressed his con stituents at Lyttelton last night. He referred to the'unsatisfactory character of last session, owing to waste of time, com pelling a deal of business of the couutry to stand over. Sir George Grey's action in regard to the Waste Lands Bill he con sidered a most unheard-of thing. The Hon. Mr Fisher was next criticised. The Grey party had always been itching to steal the Canterbury Land Fund. Mr Fisher had said the Canterbuiy La.nd Fund would not be taken, but he changed ■his view when he had a seat in Government, and now he followed Sir George Grey in everything. Had the Canterbury mem bers kept together, the land fund, though bound to go, could have been retained at least another year. He (Murray-Aynsley) opposed manhood suffrage, but favoured a system of registering every property- holder and ratepayer. No vote was proposed to Aynsley. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

Walter John Norfolk was brought up on remand, charged with being concerned in the stealing of a horse, saddle and bridle, value £15,' the property of James Robert Walters, at the Whan, on May 9th, IS7S. Robert Walters said : I am a farmer, xe siding at Mount Albert. I remember Thurs day, " 9th May last. I went to the Whau on horseback that day, and when I got there I tied the horse up beside the Whau Hotel. I left the bridle and saddle on the horse and went into the hotel. I saw a man named Braiue there. He asked me to lend him the horse to ride half-a-mile. I consented. He was away half-an-hour. On his return he came into the hotel, and said the horse was tied up outside. About an hour after I went out intending to go home, but found the horse was gone. I was unable to find it, and had to walk home. After searching four days I reported the matter to the police. On the 2Sth of May I found the horse on the road near my farm without any saddle or bridle. Since then the saddle and bridle were left at my place by Mi- Kearney. I don't know the prisoner. He had no right to take my horse away. John Braine deposed to having borrowed the horse for half-an-hour, and safely returned it. Thomas Braine (a small boy) deposed to seeing the prisoner ride the horse away, and to having asked him a week afterwards what he had done with it. Thos. Tierney, a 'bus driver between Auckland and the Whau, deposed to hav ing persuaded the prisoner to give up the saddle and bridle on condition of there being no trouble. He left them at Mr Walter's place. In course of conversation prisoner told him he had turned the mare adrift at Martin's place after taking saddle and bridle off, and had seen her there two days afterwards. Detective Jeffrey deposed to arresting the prisoner at Riverhead on the 14th of June. He said he was sorry he had given up the saddle, as he had it planted all right in a loft in Martin's old house. Witness visited the house on the 12th in search of the prisoner, and saw the hiding-place. The prisoner was committed for trial.

TEMPERANCE PUBLICATIONS.

(To the Editor of the Star.) Sir-A speaker at the Temperance Hall meet ing on Saturday last urged the necessity of cir culating temperance publications among the TOOPIe as a moans of. diffusing correct opinions ™ thp subiect. It is quite clear that the Auck land 131™ cannot, or will not, support an n^an of their own, hence they might, if they have the cause at heart, contribute towards the Hrculition of sound literature in the way sug articles and to Which I would invite particular Attention The essay in the current number, by r>r rolling on the "Influence of Intoxicating nrink" is an able paper, and more convincing than a hundred crude and illogical speeches. Why to nTtho advocates of temperance estab one common cause., instead of remaning' separ the majority uninformed.—l am, is,c, übsek\ hk.

THE CENTRAL RAILWAY STATION.

The sub-committee appointed yesterday by the central railway station Committee to •wait upon Messrs Lawson and Conyers, saw those gentlemen last evening, and laid before them the various proposals which have been made with regard to the route and site of the extension and station. Messrs Conyers and Lawson expressed their anxiety to do justice to Auckland in the mat ter of railway communication generally, and the matter in hand especially ; and pro mised to prepare a report to be laid before the Hon.. J. Macandrew on his arrival in Auckland.

A CORRECTION.

(To the Editor)

Sir, —Permit me to remind your reporter that he attributes words to me that I merely condemned in others. I said that without proof by experience we must not believe the charge insinuated by a few against Mr Macandrew and the Govern ment, viz., that free discussiou of what is a proper site for the railway terminus would furnish them with a pretext to quash the matter. I refuse still to believe the libel, and think we shall find in Mr Macandrew a man who is patriotic to New Zealand and friendly towards Auckland. — I am, &c., Frederick Larkins.

A LARGK gathering of ladies and gentlemen appeared this afternoon in tho Choral Hall to witness the presentation of degree of Bachelor of Arts to' Messrs 11. IT. Rattray and W. St. Clair Tisdall by His Honor Mr Justice Gillies, on behalf of New Zea land.

We observed on the platform Revs Dr Maunsell, Tomlinson, Edgcr, Munro, Col. Haultam, Messrs Mitford, Luckie, and Swanson. The chair was occupied by J. C. Firth Esq., who intro duced the business of the meeting. His Honor Mr Justice Gillies addressed the meeting at considerable length, and pre sented in due form the degree of Bachelor of Arts upon Robert Henry Rattray and St. Clair Tisdall, congratulating the success ful students on the distinction they had gained from the University of New Zea land. (Loud cheers). The meeting wan subsequently addicssed by Colonel Haul tain.

The Waitara Meeting.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

WAITABA, this day. HFAVY rain occurred last night, which com pletely flooded the buildings constructed by the Government for the native meeting, aud great dissatisfaction is expressed among the Maoris. Itewi has telegraphed to the Government for tents for their accommoda tion.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

A Committee-meeting of the Clumber of i Commerce was held this afternoon, the I President in the chair. Mr Fhth said he had taken upon himself to ask the representatives of the Press to be I present, as he considered the Cham her had j suffered much in consequence of its pro- j CeedingS not being made public. THE SUKX CANAL. Mr Firth read a letter from Jiaron Ferdinand do Lesseps enclosing a copy of the new Regulations' for the navigation of j the Suez Canal. t | (The regulations may he seen at the i Chamber of Commerce.) ! The Railways. The President said that there had been a great deal of dissatisfaction about the management of railway matter.1?. Me was glad to say, however, that there was going to be a change, and he congratulated the Committee on the arrival of Mr Conyers. The rates charged on the transit of heavy goods were very high. He had thought it well to instruct the Secre tary to write to N.S. Wales and get a list of the transit rates charged there. He then referred to the question of the n ew station, and he thought it would be very unwise of the people of Auckland to oppose its location at the botton of Queen-street wharf. They would get nothing at all if they did not get that. TICKETS. The ticket system was not good. Daily, weekly, and yearly tickets ought to be issued and sold, not UK-rely at the station, but by certain authorised persons in town. RAILWAY EXTENSION. The speaker now referred to the question of railway extension, and advocated the con tinuation of the Waitara railway to the Waimate plains. The following resolutions were pro posed by Mr Firth :—Firstly j " That this chamber use its influence to urge upon the Government the importance of making the terminus at the bottom of Queen-stre«t •wharf. . Secondly—That this Chamber desn-es to point out to the Government the importance to the "Waimate and Patoa settlers of a short Hue from Inglewood to Normanby and beyond. Mr McMillan thought the question of the railway too important to be decided by a committee. It ought to come before the Chamber as a whole. The President said he wished it to como before the whole Chamber. Mr Morrin seconded the President's reso lution A-vvhich was carried. Mr C. C. McMillan proposed, - That it is desirable that a subsidy be granted for n.onthly steamers from London to hew Zealand, calling at Lyttelton, Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin; and that Mr Me Andrew be interviewed on the subject. Mr Morrin seconded the motion, which was carried.

with great hopes for the future. "We have piayed at, most of the local entertainments during Ihe year, and our performance has always given : atisfaction to the public. A deal of thi< arises from having Mr Mackintosh as bandmaster, who has all through the year worked incessantly to bring us forward, and we flatter ourselves with, great success. It is to be deeply regretted that for various reasons we have, lost pome oC our most energetic members, but we must not be discouraged by this; as the district grows, so shall we. both in membors and efficiency, if we keep up our prac tices, which has not been the case of late, and which every member should strive still harder to attend regularly. Our annual concert was a most complete financial .success, and, aa we are led to believe, froni every other -view. This being ihe only time that we have asked the public for support, at -which the gross receipts weiu £50. according to Rule 7, the baivl receives honorary members at an annual subscription of one guinea ; but up to the present we have only the honour of seven members' names on the list, and phall not feel the least offended at having ten times that number by next year. But, takingall things into considera tion, we have had a most successful first year, and it is the hope of your Committee, and the public generally, that the band will long con tinue to be the premier musical institution in Waikato.—(Signed) C. B. MACKINTOSH, Chair man of Committee.

Serious Fire at Parnell.

LARGE HOUSE DESTROYED

DAMAGE £700.

At about half-past three this afternoon the lire-bells began to ring out violently. At lirstfewseemed toknow where the conflagra tion was, but on ascending Shortland-strcet it became obvious that a serious firo was raging in Parnell. On arrival there it was found that the building on fire was the residence of Mr K. B. Lusk, sen., which is situated off the top of Manukau Road, Parnell, and at the rear of the dwellings of Messrs Faiiburn and Brae ken bury. The fire which had obtained a linn hold of the building:, blazed fiercely, and despite the efforts of a large number of neighbours, threatened destruction to several adjoining houses. Oneof these, owned by Mr Faiiburn, and occupied by' Mrs Robertson, was in very great danger for some time. Water was thrown on the burning house for some time, but it soon became evident that there was no possibility of it being saved. Attention was then directed more particularly to a shed belonging to Mr Fairburn at the rear of his house, and to Mrs Robertson's dwelling. Both these buildings were well saturated with water, and the shingles were protected by wetted blankets, etc. At four o'clock Mr Lusk's house was almost completely destroyed, and the two houses near were pronounced safe. The Fire Brigade, under Superintendent Hughes, which had arrived a few minutes previously, got a small hand engine into action and played Oil these premises. The safety of the two adjoining buildings may safely be credited to the efforts of a number of neighbours who worked strenuously to save them. From what we could gather during the pro gressof the lire, we understand that Mr It. B. Lu.sk lighted a fire about 8.30 a.m. to-day afterwards proceeded to the .North Shore, leaving the lire burning in the grate. It seems that a piece of wood fell out on to the floor, and burned through, setting lire to a number of dry shingles which were stored underneath. This outbreak was observed about one o'clock this afternoon, and, as was believed, at the time extin guished. But it is evident that some smouldering embers must have been left to cause the outbreak. Capt. Brackeubury was informed by a lady neighbour of the firo having broken out again, and ho raised the alarm, which was foil >\ved by the results already mentioned. it appears that Mr Lusk, who resides at the North Shore, Js in the habit of vieiting the house daily, and lighting a fire for the purpose of airing and drying thcirooms. The building was a two-storied one, W th rooms underneath the front portion. There was also a " lean to" or scullery at the rear. It was built of wood,with a shingled roof.

The dwelling was insured in the New Zealand Insurance Company for £275 ; there was also a policy on the furniture, the amount of which we were unable to ascer tain. A quantity of the furniture was rescued from the flames by neighbours.

The total amount of damage is roughly estimated at about £GOO or £700, but we are uuable to state the exact amount.

We should not omit to mention that the police force mustered strongly under Inspector Thomson, Sab-Ins poctor Pardy, and Sergeant-Major Mason, and were instrumental in keeping back the crowd.

MOUNT EDEN RESERVE.

To the t'ditor : Sir,—Sir John Coode when here the other tlay visitod Mount Kdcn, and ex prcßsed hi* «poat admiration of this beautiful reserve for thn recreation of I he people of Auck land, lie ciifl not by any means approve of the way the mount has been planted ; indeed he thought it very questionable whether any p'antinK wou'd improve its beauty. Ho Btiontfly condemned the plantation mane last year on the south-oast side, which he considered a very Great disfigurement. Sir John Uoode m>iy not bo a groat authority in such matters, Vmt we know that there are a number of people wlio heartily coincide with him. I have no Wish to discourage tho ornamentation of our reserves; on tho contrary, I will aid as much us I can every legitimate effort mado in that direction. "The cnclosu-e to which I take ex ception—the fencing of which was paid for by tho Government—was planted last year by the owner of the' land, which forms one of ita boundaries, more apparently for his own advan fcntfo than for that of tho public. Indeed it seems its if their convenience had not been s'udicd at all, aa two fences of the enclosure are pl>i.ced right across the only path by which the Mountis accessible on that side. Consequently many of the Kpsom residents have been prevented ascending tho mountain, espe cially ladies who cannot climb the fences. Up to this time, however, they could roach a nl co where they were able to obtain a pretty view seaward. This it is now proposed to cose up, by allowing tho same person who improved his property last year to fence in another piece of the reserve abutting on his property, for his cole benefit. When this is done his neighbours will be excluded from any yew seaward without traversing hair the mountain to < btain it. Not only w»s leave Kiven on Thursday last, but actually he was S'.mtilitneiitedfor hi» great liberality when his application for pe r»»ission w»s read ! 1 ho same ei-ntleinan has been very active in laying out a road round and to the top of the mountain, now in course of being made by a detachment of prisoners from the gaol. This road, when com pleted, will tend to make Mount Eden a very great and much more enjoyable resort, and will certainly be the best drive which the many passengers can take, who land for a few hours on the arrival of the mail steamer.] Iho road is somewhat longer than necessary, and in my opinion, it would have been an improvement to have shortened it by turning off soon after pa sing Mr H'inh's. ITO have shortened it in this way «ould, however, not have suited its projector. As it is, it skirts tho upper boundary of his property which it will greatly increase in value, and by so doing ho will be very amply compensated for any trouble he may have taken about it However, notwithstanding its sonie wnat unnecessary length, the road will be a great puHic advantage, and will be tM means of enabling many, who cannot now, to en)oy the magnificent and almost unrivalled view from the top, so that there is little need to question closely the motives which influenced its origin ator In conclusion, sir, I trust that the authon lies in charee of this reserve will exercisennore care in permitting enclosing and planting that will either destroy the peculiar beauty of the mountain or be for the exclusive benefit or any individual to the disadvantage of others, and v, ill this in view, the leave to plant where now proposed should at once be withdrawn, espe (i illy as planting there will in no way improve the reserve but the contrary,—l am, XC,, 11EMUERA. _________—•

The Commissioners lately appointed at Dunedin to inquire into the working of the Kniployment of Females Act went out on strike after a day or two because the Go 'vernmeht refused to grant them pay. The Kitmara paper says there is one public-house there for every 25 of its popu lation, and that it gives away £4000 a-year to itinerant mountebanks and wandering lecturers. ' . : : The Cambridge Farmers' Club have de cided to hold their next Agricultural Show on October 24th, and, in accordance Avith an expression of feeling at the last meeting of the Club, the Show will be held either at Cambridge or Hamilton, according to the amount of contribution, which may be made. The intelligent character of its meetings, and the fact that all jthe leading and most influential. settlers support this Club has raised it to a very high position in the estimation of the pastoral and agricultural interests.

GOOD TEMPLARY AND THE NEGROES.

(To the Editor of the Stae.) Sir, —In last Saturday's issue you inserted by request .a resolution passed by the Grand Lodge of South Australia I. 0.G.T.( America), at the same time stating that much mis apprehension existed both in Auckland and America respecting the admission of IS egroes to Good Templar Lodges, and desiring that all doubts should be removed. Will you insert these resolutions, &c, of other Grand Lodges which are associated with South Australia and the American Good Templars of Auckland under the American P.W.G. Lodge, and thus let it be seen if the statement that the Negro is excluded, made by Bro. Stevens (who is the deputy of the R.W.G.L. (British), is false and malicious, as stated in South Aus tralia's resolution : " Resolved that this Graud Lodge has declared that none but white persons can become members of the Order in Tennesse, and that we will con tinue to stand by this declaration," G. L. Journal, p. 8 ; " Resolved that only siich persous as belong to the white or Caucasian race are eligible to membership," p. 12, Sub-Lodge Constitution, North Carolina ; "White persons twelve years of age willing to take a solemn pledge, &c , are eligible to membership," examined and certified as not conflicting with the R.W.G.T. Signed by Col. J. J. Hickman, R.W.G.T., Sub- Lodge Constitution of Alabama: " Re solved that we will do all in ou power to aid and assist our sister Southern States to prevent the organisation of Negro Lodges of our Order in the States." —"Kentucky G.T. Journal" p. 32-3. I have in my possession, open to inspection by any one^ a photo, litho. fac-simile of a charter signed by the Hon. (?)S.D. Has tings, as R.W.G.T., and W. S. Williams, R.W.G.S., granted to colored persons at Jacksonville, Florida, 011 the 4th of Decem ber, 1873, from which the clause giving it representation in the R. W.G. Lodge is crossed out, and other alterations made in Hastings' unmistakable hand-writing. Within twelve months W. S. Williams, try letter, (iioav in the possession of the British R.W.G.T) refused the Lodge the pass-word because they were coloured persons. No Good Templar Lodge exists under the R.W.G.T. (American) in the following States (excepting one at New Berne, North Carolina), viz , Missouri, Kentucky, East and West Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Arkansas, Texas, Lousiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Since May, I«7G, about 100 coloured Lodges have been instituted in these States by the British, and two coloured Grand Lodges." The foregoing are extracts taken from the official reports the same as South, Austra lia's, so no question as to their being authentic can be raised. —Yours &c., O. S. EtLls, Grand Worthy Secretary New Zealand North.
