EDEN TERRACE BOUNDARY ROAD.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —As there are many errors in the letter whi' h appeared in your issue on Monday evening, signed by the Chairman of Eden Terrace Highway Hoard, with your kind permission, I hasten to put the" matter right before the public. The respectable young!man —Mr Hayes—who lost a vory valuable horse the other day upon the road in question, has the hearty sympathy of the Mount Eden Trustees, besides that of all feeling men. The Chairman of the Eden Terrace Board is righr in stating that many years ago the Mount Aden toll-gate was at the Eden Vine Hotel, and that then the money collected w.-.s spent in keeping the road in repair up te 'hit point, but his after statements are not correct, for when the gate was moved do-' v to a position inside

the Mount Eden district, our control over the road included within tne Grafton Road and Eden Terrace districts, ceased. Mr Editor, you may as well say that we should keep Symond and Wellesley streets in repair. I pass over the Chair man's recommendation to use violence, as Aye are quite prepared, and he knows it, and simply ask the E.len Terrace trustees, on behalf of the public, What have you done with the ratepayer's money collected along that frontage for the past twelve years, that you wish us to do your work :-x am, &c, John Shaw, trustee.

OUR PREMIER AND GOVERNOR.

(To the Editor.) Sir -As many and various comments> are freely made on the late published corres pondence between ovr Governor and the present Premier, I beg to oiler one or two remarks. One party argues thus : That as the Governor is directly Queen Victory representative in this country thcrcfoic al ought to yield him explicit obedience without question. My answer to hose,,s that the Qucoi herself is bound to act in strict accordance with the tenets oi.the English Constitution ; moreover that she is entirely guided in all political movements by her responsible advisers, and that even her Parliament opening speeches are pre pared by them. Now, 1 would ask, by what rule or authority does our Governor claim more extensive and more autocratical powers than Queen Victoria? I do think that our Premier, Sir George Grey, has merited the thanks and warm support of eveiy well-regulated mind in tins country. for having so plainly and firmly informed the Governor that he may not with impunity trench on the constitution of New Zealand, and thus trample on the people a ngiits. Some again argue thus :—'l hat he is ap pointed the Governor of i his country, and as such might to be respected, I say most certainly he ought; but at same time he and all ought lo know the respect .is only due to merit and not to position, for I hold that respect may he obtained by desert, but not iv any case by command. T venture to submit that the Governor in has prosy dis patch to the Secretary of State for the colonies h.i= omitted one important item, viz., the nroiapt and persistent qm>.imiiablo shafts adopted, although unsuccessful (I shall not say to tlio loss of the country) by Major Atkinson on purpose to oust Sir George Grey from his position as Premier, so as to have himself a-.eu'n re-installed in the position from which he had so datcly been buried, for I consider this piece of informa tion to he quite as admissible into aim equally important for (he information of the Home Government as the particulars of the majority and minority which decided the late desirable change injhe Kew Zc-alanu Ministry. —Yours, i.e., "A/-,it_KST.

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

(To the Editor.)

pry ._v.;ith reference to the correspondence that has recently appeared in your liberal paper on the character of some of the lectures that have been proposed to bo given under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, I would re spectfully suggest to tlie oiiice-hearers of that institution the propriety of making arrangements for the delivery of lectures on the following subjects -.—The culpability of Sabbath desecration, attending theatrical performances, races, balls, and other ques liomiMe amusements. These are sins which do more to obstruct the furtherance of Bible Christianity than scepticism or Spiritual- Ism do ; but, strange to say, they are seldom, if ever, denounced from the pulpit. Just fancy an organisation professing itself to have been called into evidence for the defence of Protestantism setting forth, as the finale to its anniversary programme, promiscuous dancing; or, in other words, viiidim' up with tho Devil's benediction! As good, old I lowland Hill would say )# is this " contending earnestly for the faith once delivered lo the saints':"•—l am, etc., A Fhiknp of the YOUNG M.EN S Christian Association.

YACHT RACE.

A VERY interesting race between the yachts Hippie (Yeldhan) and La Belie (Blouse or Full), took place in the harbour to-day. The stakes were £1. a-siue. The course was from the Queen-street wharf to the buoy moored off Drunken Bay and back. There was a good south-east breeze blowing during the race. The JAa Belle got away with a lead ot 40 yards, but she was quickly caught by the Ripple. The boats changed places several times until coming back, wlie.. the Hippie led. all the way, winning by exactly 43 seconds. Another race between the same yachts, over a beating course, tool, place late this afternoon, ihe Sea Belle winning. W. Marshall aud Ike limit .Tailed the Ripple on this occasion.

Gas is super;-" to every other material as aliglit-dviug agent, not oiily on account of its bii liaicy and its cheapness, but because it is Sffer, economises time and labour, and is more easily managed. Amongst all classes of society i t is in high favour ; taking lankwitb the necessaries, as well as the

eleo-aucies of life. It merits whatever can be said on its behalf. Those who have enjoyed its advantages are always the most ready, as they are a>o the most competent to pro claim'its praise.—[See Advertisement.] When Ton Wish to Furnish Tour Rouse, obtain a Book Catalogue from the City Hall Arcade, which contains valuable informa tion, not only enumerating what can be obtained there, but shewing tho cost of Fur nishing a Three, Four, Five, and Six-roomed house ; also, Drawingroom separately, and Bachelor's Rooms.
