AUCKLAND SHIPBUILDING.

A YACHT FOR SYDNEY. Mesers Niccol and Sons, of the North Shore, have been engaged for some time past on a new yacht for Sydner. She is about 56 feet overall, and is built on a beautiful and improved model. Her lines are superb ad exquisitely carved, and a<< she is being built especially for sp°eri, she will no doubt prove to be a very fast vessel. She is thoroughly copper fastened througeout, snd sheathed with pure metal. She will be launched in about a fortnight. The " iown and Country Jour.-al," pnblished in Sydney, makes the following reference to her:—' We learn tliat Mr John Newlon'a 20 ton yacht, conslructel on the line=» of the Vene'sa, is rapidly approaching completion by Messrs Niccol, of Auckland. The sailn have been made in Sydney, and forwarded to New Zealand by a recent steamer, and it is expected that within a month the jacht wi)l be ready to sail for Sydney." We may say that the yacht is one of tne prettiest that has ever been built m Auckland.*ana she is certain to do credit both to her builders and to this city.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1878.

For tbe ctuxe that lack* assistance. For the wrong that needs resistance. For the future in the distance, And the «ood th»t we can do.

History repeats itself; and does so some times at verj short intervals. Before the Kusso-Turkish war, when Ottoman affairs were in a hopeless state of disorder, repre sentatives of the Powers mot at Constanti nople to deliberate on the ills of the Sick Man. The Marquis of Salisbury represented England, and presided at the Conference. A moderate programme of internal reform was drafted and recommended for the adoption ot the Porte. It was rejected. The proposals were reduced to a mere skeleton, but again Turkey rejected them, and the Congress separated. Russia appealed to the Powers to enforce by joint action the recommendations of the Congress; some agreed conditionally upon the co-operation of England. The Czar appealed to England in a Ictior stating that if Her Majesty's Government considered a naval demonstration sufficient, Russsia would be willing to accept that. England, however, refused. It was here that the Liberal and Conservative policies on che Eastern question diverged ; up to the time of the Conference they had iv main features been in harmony. Loth believed it was the duty of the Turkish Government to execute reforms, which were pledged under the Treaty of Paris ; but the Liberals asserted that it was the duty of England, as one of the parties to the Treaty, to join a European combination for tho purpose of com pelling those reforms; the Conservatives did not. The Liberals maintained it would'be a fatal mistake to allow Russia to act inde pendently ; the Conservatives believed that Russia would not so act. It is well that these bimple historical facts should be con stantly borne in mind because they afford a clue to much that has since happened. Russia, despite the protest of England, en tered the field ; the obstinacy -of the Porte and the admission that Turkey was in the wrong deducible from England's recent participation in the Stambou) Conference whose decisions Russia professedly entered thefidd to enforce, left Turkey in a state of isolation. The .disastrous results to Qtto-" man integrity are now a matter of history..,' Again the Representatives of the Powers meet and deliberate on the case; again, they draw up a programme, which somewhat modifies the stern conditions wiung from Turkey in her extremity; again the Porte, although nominally accept ing, really obstructs and thwarts the pro gramme ratified by her friends. What is to be done now ? We learn by a Renter's tele gram this afternoon, that another appeal has been made to the Powers to compel the adoption of their proposals, but it is Ger many, uot Russia, jjwhich takes the initiative this time, and it is probably done in the in terests of Austria. The latter Power finds that the Congress has saddled it with a big war—and that upon the suggestion of Eng land. The situation is full of curious com plications. A refusal by England might ] involve renewed independent action by Russia, with the assistance of Austria and possibly Germany; to accede places England in antagonism with its newly found ally. England is thrown on the horns of an unpleasant dilemma, being asked to attack Turkey in Europe and defend; her itiAsia. Nevertheless, wo are "informed by cable, she has accepted the German proposal. There was no option but.to do so or abandon Turkey to the tender mercies of her enemies. .What the issue will be we do.not venture to predict. Common sense would, say a firm attitude by the united Powers, combined with England's influence at Constantinople, would secure the •immediate acquiescence of the Porte. But Turkey is not amenable to : common seuse,;-:a.nd mayjjadhere to her policy of sullen. resistance. In that case the Powers must, we presume^ Austria in the occupation of Bosnia and Greece in its claims to territorial extension, and the chances are that the last spark of Ottoman independence will be extinguished in the struggle.

Our Police report, and other matter, will be found-in our fourth page. We are glad to learn that several Southern capitalists are turning .more of their atten tion to our' Northern districts than thoy have hitherto done as a field for agricultural pursuits. This is, probably, owing to the extending knowledge of the superior quality of cereals grown in Auckland compared with that of the South. Wheat, in particular, grown here always commands a much higher price than that of the South ; and a very large portion of. Southern grain, .of good quality, has invariably to be shipped away to find a good market. Laud here isalso, at a much lower price than that in the South, and, properly cultivated, it would produce as much in proportion, both of cereals, trasses, and root crop. We learn, from good authority, that -Mr John Soppet, land a^ent, has. within the last fortnight, sold several large blocks of land, both on the Henderson's Mill estate, and other parts of the North, to Southern gentle men at very remunerative prices, conse quent on the increased demand for land in tne Southern district. A good deal of the neglect of the North is attributable to the mode of farming, which has not been such as to prove the capabilities of the soil. It may be safely affirmed that, with economy in laying out and working, an estate in the North will prove very remuner ative, not only on account of the quality 01 the soil, but also the proximity to town both by land, railway, and water carnage. Ihe whole of theJNorth, hitherto inaccessible, is now brought into such near communication with Auckland that we anticipate a more general imitation of the example set by there pioneer settlers from the South who will be amply rewarded for their enterprise. In consequence of the resolution of the Harbour Board yesterday. Mr Greenwood announces the postponement of the sale of allotments on the reclaimed land. The nale is fixed for the 12th of November. Several buyers have, we learn, arrived from the South, and one from Sydney. From this it appears that the value of these allot ments, at the entrance to the city and facing the railway station, is widely recog nised. The projected extension of the lin^ through to Wellington, and northwards to Knipam greatly enhances their prospective worth.

The " Blacksmith's Dream" was sur rounded last evening by numbers of inter ested adults who expressed themselves highly pleased with the multiform produc tion of the ingenious mechanic who con ceived and worked out the poetic idea. Mr Robertson deserves patronage in his unsel fish exhibition, half the proceeds being for the assistance of the Ladies' Benefit Society. The exhibition will be on view until Satur day next, which will be the people* last opportunity of witnessing one of the most remarkable productions of the century.

A system of rascally persecution has been continued for some time past against, Mr Connelly, a dairyman of the Three Kings, by some cowardly and spiteful enemy. The mode adopted for annoying and injur ing him has been to endeavour to injure his property, and cause a mishap to him. _ Two attempts have been nmde to capsize his cart, when driving it on the road near his own place with milk for customers in the town. Malice is clearly evidenced by the fact that large stones from an adjacent wall were placed on the road in a narrow and dangerous part, when they must, of neces sity, obstruct the passage of the vehicle. This happened a fortnight ago, and again on Tuesday morning. On the latter morn ing he found one of his calves lying in the roadway Jwitli its throat, cut. He at once reported the outrages at the Omhunga Police Station, and Sergeant Greene having investigated the matter arrested a man named William Dougal, formerly a servant of Connelly, on the charge of having com mitted the outrages.

The residents in and around Mount Eden intend to petition the Government for the closing of the scoria pits at Mount Eden, which are dangerous. They submit that the mountain should be set apart_ as a recreation ground, and draw attention to the fact thai there is sufficient scoria in other land ovmed by the Government to last for many years to come.

We are glad to learn that Dr. Schwartz bach has been successful in restoring the eyesight of the widow of Tamati Waka, an old lady 80 years of age, without the aid of chloroform. She has been totally blind in one eye for a period of 15 years, and in the other for ten years.

A capital practice was held last evening in St. Matthew's church by the scholar.s of St. Matthews',and St. Thomas's Sunday schools, assisted l>y Mr Webb's choir. The prac tico consisted of hymns and chants to be sung at the oratorio to be held in the above chinch on Friday evening, September 20th. The oratorio, " The Life of our Lord," as given by St. Matthew, and illustrated by hymns mostly chosen from the children's hymn book in use in the schools, but a few are taken from " Hymns Ancient and Modern." Mr Webb presided at the organ, lie informs us that there is to be one more practice, at which all who take part should be there. Due notice of the evening of the practice will be given.

Mr Abbott, of the City Club Hotel, announces that lie will take possession of the United Service Hotel on the Ist Oct. next, and that after that date, in order we presume, to prevent the possibility of any mistake or delay, all business connected with sporting matters for which the City Club nas been so celebrated under Mr Abbott's rdgime, will be .transacted at the United Service Hotel.

It »vill be seen by advertisement tbat Mr Williams, tailor, Victoria-street, has just received a stock of new patterns in English, Sydney, and Mosgiol tweeds. The Hero, which has arrived from Sydney and Melbourne, brought a colt named Robin Adair, which cost 1,000 guineas, and two valuable Clydesdale mares. They are the property of Mr He^l op, Hawke's Bay, and will be forwarded to him at once.

The Dunedin City Council yesterday voted the Mayor £300 in addition to his salary of £300, in consequence of the un foreseen expense which he has had to incur regarding the opening.of the railway line. A long discussion took place yesterday by the members of the Harbour Board on Mr Firth's motion, "That a recommen dation be forwarded to the Governor to the effect that seven members constitute the Auckland Harbour Board, instead of ■fourteen, as at present, and that the period of office bo, three years in all cases." The i'lea did not meet with general approval, and several amendments were proposed and lost; Each member entertained an idea of his own on the subject. ; Captain Casey at length interrupted the solemnity of the scene by saying : " Last week a man applied to me fora job. I said, What can you do ? He replied; Almost anything. 1 said, I want a wall built. He answered, I-C.anr.ot do that,, but I can pull a Avail down." :'This Board," said ;|he speaker, "is like tuat man.-.lt can pull down a wall,* but seems, incapable of putting one up. The Board seems to do nothing but pull: dovyu walls (laughter). ijle would move, " That the constitution of the. Board lemain.as it is.!L The lnptibn was carried.

A petition in favour of gazetting all bank ruptcy notices in the " Mercantile Gazette" published by Mr Wheeler of Dunedin, has received a considerable number of signatures among the business men of Auckland. Mrs Harrison, wife of the missing Parnell carrier, wishes to contradict the statement that she wentto the Police Court in a state of excitement about her husband. She says she does, not believe -he would.make away with himself, and she experiences "no uneasiness on that score.

The Missing Schooner Kaimua.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

(Per Press Telegram Agency,):

, WAITARAv this day. Captain McKenzhe, of the Hannah Mokau, just arrived from Raglan, reports a auantity of wreckage along the beach', off that place. Several kegs of butter have come ashore, also 63 dead sheep, -which have been skinned by the natives. Part of a vessel's deck, sails, spars,. &c, have been washed ashore, also aboard with"Kaimua," leaving no doubt as to the" unfortunate result which has befallen the schooner. Captain McKenzie is of opinion she must have gone ashore on Woody Head durine the gale on the 15th nit., and all hands perished. :

Shocking Accident in Elliott street.

An accident occurred about eleven o'clock this morning in the carriage building establishment of Messrs Cousins and Atkin, of Elliott-street, to a boy named Jeremiah O'Sullivan, who had been in the employ of the firm ten days only. The boy went beneath the large spoke machine whilst going at great sp^ed to pull out some shavings, when he thoughtlessly raised his head and was caught by the knives of the machine, and cut by five of them, two taking greater effect than the others, literally cutting out a piece of the skull the size of a crown piece, with a portion of the dura mater adhering to it. A cry was raised and the workmeu rushed to the assistance of the boy, who was bleeding considerable from the wounds. Medical assistance was immediately sent for and Dr Kenderdine, who chanced to be in the vicinity of the factory, was immediately in attendance, and examined the boy's head, taking out two pieces of bone. In a few moments Drs Bayntun and Haines were in attendance, and on the recommendation of the medical crentlemen the boy was at once sent to the Provincial Hosipital, an express being provided. Mr. Cousins accompaniedthepatient. The medi cal gentlemen expressed their opinion that the boy will recover, as .there was neither blow nor concussion in the accident. He was perfectly conscious and felt no pain from the wound 3. We may add that the boy had no buisness behind so dangerous a machine and that Messrs Cousins aud Atkin had taken eAery precaution, by fencing in as much as possible, the spoke machine, so that their boys might not needlessly run into danger. LATER. This afternoon the boy was sensible, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. It appears that Lambourne, the boy in charge of the machine, told O'Sullivan to come out from the back or he would get cut to pieces. He saw the boy holding up his hand to feel the current of air caused by the revolution of the spoke cutters ; the next thing the machine boy saw was O'Sullivan lying in a heap on the floor.

He pre ferred the English systerna of taxation. If sugar had not been a profitable article for brewers to use we should have had beer made from malt and better articles, Coming to the customs tariff he agreed with the principle on most points. The tea duty would have 'afforded greater relief if 3d had been taken off' instead of 2d,^hichis:an awkward sum to divide; also, the'duty on sugar should be reduced by a penny, He approved of the reduction on.- -Australian wines, but thought a reciprocal system should have been adopted, arid only those colonies which reciprocated should receive any advantages, he found, with increasing population, th3t the customs should be £330,000 less yearly which lie amid not be lieve. There must be extensive frauds somewhere. If the duty were removed on grain, the duty on timber should be re bring moved also. It cost very little more to grain from Australia to some New Zealand ports than from Canterbury; therefore they should not encourage it by removing the duty to too great extent. ilewasiniWottr of liie total removal of all customs duties, He quoted from Cliffeleses, showing the obstructive and disturbing effect of customs duties. "3 The customs was like the'toll Sys tem, which was being abolished. He quoted from Cobden to show these that duties ob struct commerce,, manufacture, and check the production of wealth. It was ouly a question of time when customs would be abolished. He ivas content with the present movement in that direction, and should be glad-..t0 consider, t lieir effect. If New Zealand -were declared free, a country in which goods were-ad mittted free, it would give a&reat impetus to her commerce. He looked fora time w)cn New Zealand ports would be filled wirli shipping bringing. the. riches of the earth in exchange for her golden fleece and her yet more golden grain, and when.the waste places would be filled up. He would be prepared next session to tax all property aud income. He believed that was the in tention of the House. He. would say to'tte Treasurer, "Be bold, audevermoYebeoola, but not too bold," The meaning of ti%re solution of last session was not freshjjm tion but achange in theincidence. Mr Wake field's amendment embodied the'idea that there was a necessity to raise a greater revenue. The second fallacy was that subsi dies were paid from funds raised by taxatica whereas they were^paid from the land fond. The land fund should not:,ibenfflM with the consolidated fund. -The Jm fund is really capital and...should:« separated from the ordinary 3 revenue, and not entirely devoted to public worRS. To say that no further taxation should m raised while subsidies were paid ;from "ana fund Avould paralyse the -whole country. The Government "had been;Yadvised■ W withdraw their measures,.. bnt.f he nopeu they would press their measures, m«s would support the second reading, reserving. the right to amendment in" committee. He hoped the day was coming * g capitalists, banks, companies,;and tnecau on a thousand hills, large land owners, w. would contribute a fair share -to tne wi^ tion. The • present dissatisfaction j>^ ; because of the intolerable : ;:bura^n^: taxation, \vhich should be lemp^a...
