THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS.

(To the Editor.)

<*m_The apologists for the non-success of the Cou'Sies against the Au^trnlian Cricketers have adopted three extraordinary ways of accounting fnr their failure. Ist.

It is too soon in the season for the Englishmen to cemraonco thotr fine scores, as the ground ie dead. I reply to the first "smoky" obi ection by asking where the smoke cSrnes from-Pnmrose Hill. Roge.fs Park, or acrosi from Hyde Park? There's not a stack of chimneys, tiiat I know of, nearer than Camdon Town-abo** three miles away— and besides, if thorn were, who are most accustomed to smoke and fog. the Englishmen or the Australian? The one, the Australian, scarcely »v«r saw any quantity of smoke, unless at a bush fire, and is used to an atmosphere so clear and transparent, that an Englishman must so* to realise it. 2nd.

Mark the dates, and you will find that they can score early, and on Lord's too, when the bowling is agreeable. If tho Australians are not so successful towards the end of their tour, no wondsr! They have undertaken too much, anyone knows, who knows anything; hence the prediction of the "knowing ones," "that England will improve her play and score," and Australia fall pir. And Why? bscaue tho Australians may be played out" as to endurance. The English, like the Auckland jr's, bolievo in batting, porhaps, forgetting that bowline and Holding are equally necessary; and like them after their tour down South, I am afraid, rested contented with the idea that they wero invincible; a moat fatal error in anything.-! am, etc,, Charles B Andrew Ofulton Acndcnrr.

UDDEN DEATH ON THE ROTORUA. INQUEST.

AN inquest was held at the Thames Botel, yesterday, before Dr. Philson, Coroner, on the body of Robert Evans, who died on board the s.s. Rotorua, while on her way from Sydney to Auckland. , Mr R. B. Prfngle deposed that he first met deceased coming up the coast on the Wanaka three months ago. When he came on board the Rotorua at Sydney on the 3rd, ■he appeared perfectly well, except for a sore throat, which caused him to expectorate very much. He came to the saloon for his dinner on the 4th inst., but kept his cabin after that time. Witness advised deceased to apply wet clothes to his throat, and made for him a gargle of ascetic acid._ On Saturday, he complained of having a cold on his chest, for the relief of which a mustard plaster was applied. He also com plained of pain in his stomach, but witness did not see him vomit. On Sunday night he was put into a hot bath, where he passed a little water, deeply tinged with blood. After coming out of the bath, he said he felt a great deal better. Between nine and ten o'clock on Sunday night, he became delirious, jumped out. of his bunk, and tried to get on deck. He was put to bed again, and remained: delirious all night. On the following day he got up and shaved himself, but after some conversation at the saloon table became suddenly worse, and died a few minutes later. Searched his portmanteau, and found a prescription, dated June, and several letters from hia mother. He had also a silver watch and gold chain, money; and other articles. He was' travelling to Dunedin in search of employment. . Dr. Goldsbro'• testified to having made a post-mortem examination, and that death resulted from acute inflammation of the bag of the heart,; from. a recent attack of rheumatism or severe cold. Verdict: " Death from natural causeß, the officers of the ship being exonerated from all blame.

" r . The Chairman then said : Gentlemen,— I have the pleasure to lay. before you the report-adopted' r-t the thirteenth annual meeting of this Company iii London. The noticeable feature in the lepoifls the increase of tKe number; of ■•shares by a further issue of 40 000, so as to place further borrowing powers*, the hands of the Company. Jhe development of the Company s business demanded this action, as it had become necessary either to provide more capital or refuse further business, and so narrow the operations of the Company. Xo have followed the latter course would only have been to throw valuable business into rival channels.: The rapid strides this colony is makin" in the settlement of its waste lands opens'tip a large field for the investment of capital,, and this capital must be supplied-from -without the colony. JNot withstanding the rapid increase of material wealth within ourselves, it is, nevertheless, beyond our power to supply even an approximation to our wants in the shape of capital. It is fortunate for us that the colony is held in such high estimation at home, and that we can oiler security on safe and profitable undertakings to the money-lendmc public at home, who ■willingly accept the debentures of this Company. And lam warranted in stating from this chair that the confidence of the home public is''not misplaced. The most careful scrutiny: as "given by the Board of Directors here to all .advances made, mid the history of -the Company's transactions can prove the truth of this assertion. I have much . pleaurei:fn"' <being . able to inform shareholders -that" "th 6 wool, grain, and .other produce qo^sjgnments of the Company continue to. show a mast satisfactory increase, and -yorir 'dircctovs keep this all important branch of ;the Com pany's business prominently before them, so that the loans made shall,. as far as possible, carry with .them the profits to be derived from this source.

Alteration in Kaipara Railway

Coastal Line Now Adopted.

EUMOims have been;circulated in Auck land- during the past few . days, in conse quence of the -withdrawal of tenders for the extension oi the" Kaipara railway from Henderson's Mill to Pdverhead, that the Government had determined to adopt the coast line after all instead of the inland line, which latter, it was tmderstood on all hands, had been finally determined upon. Upon inquiry we learn that the rumour is* well founded. Our contemporary, the "Herald," in its issue of the 3rd instant, commenting upon a letter by Mr Joh i Lamb, for some reason endeavoured to conceal this fact, and to throw dust in the eyes of the settlers, by stating "Mr Lamb had arrived at the conclusion that the withdrawal of the tenders, and the calling for new ones, meant the sub stitution of the coast route for the inland line whicli has been fixed. But this is a mistake. There is no alteration of the route contemplated or intended." The fact is, the Public Works Department has now resolved to return to the coast route for reasons which will presently be explained. The history of this line has been full of relation and weariness to the flesh, and the prospect which is now presented to the settlers of having to again agitate in order to secure attention to their wants and con- Tcnience is by no means cheering. Origi nally Mr Stewart, Resident Engineer, re commended the adoption of the coast line as offering superior engineering advantages to the inland line. He, however, estimated that the cost of either line would be about equal. When it became known that the Government pro posed to adopt the coast-line the settlers living inland almost unanimously protested against it, and petitioned the Government to adopt the inland line as passing through a more settled country, while the coast line would run along the harbour where water carriage would be easy, and that it would not fulfil the legitimate purposes of a com mercial railway. In consequence of this, the Government, after mature consideration, resolved to comply with the wishes of the settlers by adopting the inland line, and accordingly tenders were invited for the work. Suddenly, however, these tenders were withdrawn, and a statement was made that it was for the mere purpose of making trilling deviations. We learn, however, from careful inquiry that, although the alteration has not yet been definitely determined upon, there is little doubt but that Mr Macandrew will cause the coast line to be adopted. When he was in Auckland, he was waited upon privately by Mr Chamberlin, who is largely interested in land through which the coast line would necessarily pass, and has already laid out a township in the coiner formed by the Waitemata River and Brigham's Creek, near the proposed ter minus of the extension. Mr Chamberlin, at that interview, represented to the hou. the Minister of Works that the coast line offered many very great engineering advan tages, as compared with the inland line ; and in consequence of these repre sentations Mr Macandrew directed Messrs. Conyers and Lawson _to examiue and report upon the respective routes. The report, which was subsequently sent to Mr Macandrew, stated that there would be a saving on the coast line, as compared with the inland line, of £3,000 on bridges, &c, £3,000 on cost of material, and a mile-and-a-half in length : notwith standing the fact that. the necessity of raising the bridge over Henderson's Creek to a height of 40 feet, in order to admit of the free passage underneath of small craft, would increase the cost of other bridges on the coast-line by about £1 per foot. It was also pointed out that while the gradient on tho inland line would be 1 in 35, that on the coast line would be less than 1 in 40; and that.whereas there would be many jsharp curves on the inland line, some of them worse than on the existing Pokeno line, the curves on the coastline would.be comparatively trifling except in one place, being a difference of six as against eight on the inland line. It was also shown that there would be heavy tunnelling through the summit point on the inland line, wliich shows an elevation of 120 feet above the extreme level of the coast line; that, the land through which the coast line would run is of equally good quality with the other,' and that, it would be the only lin-3 suitable for a future extension to Wangarei, part of which lu'P been already surveyed, and which may bo constructed-within a few years. Moreover, it was shown that the large kauri bush that exists on the west Side of thd. inland line in the Waitakerei-district is not available from that route,: being separated from the line ■of railway-by a ridge 1,500 feet in height. Messrs Conyers and Lawson, on the whole, were of opinion that the coast line .would be more direct, witli an easier gradi ent, fewer and easier curves than the inland line, and less costly;.by; £7,000; or £S,OOO. Mr Macandrew expressed -some surprise that these facts had not been communicated eaflier to the Public Works Department, but.was informed by Mr Stewart that the Resident Engineer §>taff had throughout been in favour of the Coast line, and had only al tered the route, at the, direction of the Go vernment, and in consonance with the wishes expressed by the settlers. Mr Macandrew thereupon, direoted that the <plans of the respective routes ; should be forwarded W Wellirlgton for examination. The 'Minister of Public Works appeared, tp Have formed ah impres sion that there had ' been. " log-rolling " in inducing the .-Government" to alter its original decision and adopt the inland line, and he expressed hi 3 determination to pay no heed to interested representations, but tpl proceed with the line which would be best from an engineering point'of _ view. The plans were.sent to Wellington with Mr Macandrew, and-shortly after, his arrival he telegraphed to withdraw 'the tenders for the inland line. Such : is the position of the matter as it stands at present. ■

THE IDENTITY OF THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL WITH THE ANGLO SAXON RACE.

We British tally with Israel's history by being an Island people. The Jews were to become a marked people throughout all the nations of the world, just the position they occupy to this very day ; and would it not be unreasonable, illogical, and unscnptural to suppose that the prophecies of; Judah were to be fulfilled, but not those ta Israel. If <he one arc, both are; hence Israels location must be in the Isles. Now, those Isles are described by Isaiah and Jeremiah, who clearly foreshow Israel's location in them after they become a lost people: " Keep silence berore-ine O Islands,'' ",frho Isles shall wait for his law," " Hear the word of the Lord, and declare} it in the Isles afar off," "And declare his praise in the Isles," and so on. These prophets:not only tell us that Israel must be an Island people, but also, most literally, the very point of the compass where these Isles would be situated. Israel, in her lost estate, is plainly directed to glorify "the God of Israel in the Isles of the western seas. " To the Islands will he repay recompense, so shall they fear die name of the Lord from the west," Then we learn that these Islands would not only be in the west, but in the north-west ; because the very word sent after Israel when she returns scut to the north : " Go and proclaim these Avoids towards the north, and say, ' return, thou backsliding Israel.'" The British Islands are to the north, ai:d west of Palestine, they are " afar olF" from there ; they are in the " western seas," and they constitute most emphatically a " north country." Scripture also relates that Israel, between the time of her leaving Media to the time of her arrival in the *' isles," would go through much exhaustion, and become diminished in strength. This was because she could only make her waY through the north-Avest passage by the proAvess of Avar, as she would have to force her AA-ay through the different States and peoples. Hence, we find Israel addressed thus upon her arrival in the "isles," " Keep sileuce before me, O Islands, and let the people renew their strength ;" "I will strengthen thee." As showing that the isles are in the Avest and not in the east, He calls Israel to speak Avith Him : " Let us come near together Avho raised up the righteous from the east." Thattheisles musthavebeen in the Avest, or the righteous people could not have been raised from the east. Why did Israel require to renew her strength 1 It Avas because of the long series of Avarfare they had gone through. God had given " The nation before him, and made him rule over kings " "He gave the nations as dust to his sword, as driven stubble to his bow," and he had noAV " called him to his foot," therefore he required to renew his strength. Now is not this " identity" the very counterpart of our case? Profane historians prove that ire, the.British, Avere -rateed from" the' East ; that avc passed through the exact ground that Israel must have passed through to reach " the isles ;" that the nations Avere given to us, and their Icings ruled by us ; that it was our " SAVord" and" " bow" that they were as dust before us ; that avc " passed safely" by a way that avc had not gone before, until we, British, reached the Islands where avc did " reneAV our strength."

One matter in connection with the mob bing of the police recently is thus re marked upon by a correspondent: Sir,—ln a late issue I read carefully . your ac count of the row that took place'on Saturday night. You gave great praise to the conduct of the police throughout, and I quite concur with you. However, there was one great defect I noticed in the police themselves, and that was an apparent want of condition in the few who were actually engaged in the struggle with that prisoner who gave the acrobatic performance in front of Messrs Morrin's establishment. This want of pith arises from an insufficient course of gymnas tic exercises, without which no great mus cular force can be exerted for any length of time. I would draw the attention of those in authority (now that a eimmodious build ing has been set aside for the Consta bulary) to the great want that exists for some reasonable space being allotted for exercise in some good athletic amusements, such as dumbells, clubs, etc. At all large police-stations in Ireland you will always see the members of the force engaged in playing ball, quoits, or some kind of ath letic sport, the result of which is easily discerned in the grand physique in the great majority of the Royal Irish.Constabu lary.—Yours, &C, AGATHOS. ~, When You Wish to Furnish' Your Hou^e\ u obtain a Book Catalogue from the City Hall, Arcade, which contains valuable informa tion, not only enumerating what can be. obtained there, but shewing the cost of Fui>.l nishing a Three, Four, Five', and Six-roomed;< house; also, Drawingroora separately, and, Bachelor's Rooms.
