ing from an impending die: <1 of further war ; and what have wc gained by it all ? A U Congress, which Lord Beaconsfield declined to joiu it: two yea-* n;:o, and which his colleagues were an_cv»-.s f>>r, one thing certainly can be said for the End He has been the only member of the Cabinet that has known his own mind, or at any rate has had the gumption to conceal his fluctuations of scutiment if he has had any. Even Lord Salisbury has been a weather . cock. We all remember what he was at the Constantinople Conference, how he sat -on the Turks and would have reformed them by force of pressure. Then he softened down a good deal under the influence of his chief and began to think the Turk was not such a bad fellow after all, and that at any rate, as a Power, he should be maintained by England ; and now he has by virture of the written agreement with Count Schouvaloff practically delared himself with the British Government, in favour of the " bag aud baggage policy." There are, however, other people to be con sulted about this agreement and of these not the least important are the Turks them selves, who may quite possibly be of opinion that 'twere better to fall into the hands of Russia than be stuffed and labelled, aud put into the British Museum of dummy potentates. Depend upon it the Turks have the means yet of making themselves uncommonly awkward, should they take it into their oriental heads to be so.

THE COLLISION OF IRONCLAD'S!

I enclose you a little diagram of the loss of tha Grosser Kurfust, which may be of some service to you, as it makes the cause of the collision very plain. The details you of course have had. The terrible accident has corroborated what I have fre quently urged, that with the present ex perience and knowledge of naval officers on ironclad fleet is to itself the worst element of danger. Tho ponderous nature of our fighting ships, the immense stake pending upon the existence of each, their deadncss of motion, and the immense area required for their individual manoeuvres, all point in the same direction ; and I feci quite con vinced that the war ships of the future must be very much smaller aud lighter, a«d that tbe principal weapons of offence and defence will be the torpedo and submarine mine. The nation that has the most torpedo boats will be the safest, and for cruising, lightly-clad, lively, fast sailing vessels carrying torpedo boats will be best both for cruising, transport work, convoys, and every purpose except bombardment, for which meu-of-war are vow used. THE INDIA'S; TROOPS. The Indian troops now at Malta are so anxious to see England that it is on tho cards that they may bo brought over in the Autumn (part of them at least) to take part in the yearly manoeuvres. The loyalty of these fellows, and especially of the Ghoorkas, seems to be of a most demonstra tive kind, and a notion appears^ to have possessed the minds of the authorities that it would be greatly strengthened by a vi»w of tha country for which they entertain such a respect and of which they have formed so high an estimate. It may be so, but this is by no means certain ; and lam cot sure that a sight of English dirt and squalor, may not take off a little of tho gilding of the sepoy imagination. _ People are not always impressed with a glimpse of England or London, and it is only after a residence that tho real greatness and marvellous -wealth of the place can be realized. I shall never forget the exclama tion of an Auckland lad of 15 or 16 summers when towing up the Thames on our home ward trip on one occasion. Hearing Graves end he said " Well, I don't think much of this. It isn't a patch on Auckland." SOCIALISM.

I kardly care to enter upon the question of Socialism, the bete noir of .Luropean statesmen at this momont. The doctrines have made go-eat, though quiet, progress of late years ; indeed in Germany the number of proselytes k very formidable. Thinking to use Socialism as a tool for their own euda, Bismarck and Co. have trifled with its disciple*, and flirted with its leaders, but they have suddenly found in the followers of Lassalle, and amongst those who sit at the feet of Karl Marx, an element no longer to be fondled and petted, but a political torpedo of unknown dimensions and force, whose fuse is burning, and the length of duration of that fuse unknown. They are going to try legislation, but there are signs that the time for «rushing the movement is past, and au uneasy feeling is pervading all classes in Europe] but particularly in the German Empire. GaTMiany is about to reap the fruit, the seed* of which have for years p»et been sown and nurtured by her extensive s«hool of free-thinking philoso phers of whom che was, and is still so proud. The inevitable fruits of scepticism and athe ism are recklessness and crime followed by revolutions and anarchy. Socialism is tho codified creed of Communism-rum-riot, and the definition of religion as tabulated by one of its high priests will give, the clue to the temper of the whole movement. He calls it " The Opium of Nations." Greehstone.

PARLIAMENT.

FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

(BY STAR SPECIAL WIRE).

Wednesday night.

The proceedings in the House to-day were unimportant and tame. There was not a full house at any time. Some Otago mem bers are con splcously absent. They generally are unless runs are under discussion. AID TO ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS MrJohnstoninaskingthePremierwhether the Government intend to place a sum on tho estimates for assisting Roman Catholic schoels, was twice called to order by tho Speaker, who wanted to quote from a speech made by Sir George Grey in Auck land, where he said that in going through Irelamd at the head of a body of soldiers Ms heart was sorely grieved at seeing the people compelled to pay for the support of a religion distasteful to them, and solemnly registered a vow to devote himself to their liberation. The Speaker here said Mr Johnston was introducing debateab c matter. Mr Johnston pretended to be obtuse, and said he would put the matter in another shape, but again fell foul of the forms of the House, and was pulled up in a bland fatherly manner by Mr Fitzherbert, where upon the Catholic champion collapsed. Mr Ballance laconically replied that it i» not the intention of the Government to make any promise for any denominational schools. SITUATION OF KAWAU. Sir George Grey nearly parried another thrust from Mr Johnston, when the latter asked within what country was the island of Kawau, and what is the amount of rates thereon for the last financial year ? in reply, Sir George Grey in suave tones recommended the hon. member to look at the map, and said the second question would be answered in the general return already called for; whereat Mr Johnston, who has cultivated a very handsome goatee since last session, smiled grimly. ENDOWMENTS AND PATRIOTISM. Mr Gisborne, ia asking for a return ot ondowment reserves of local bodies and their market value, referred to the advisability of enabling local bodies to borrow on more reasonable t#rms ; and Mr Woolcock, in calling for a return of the amount left in the Treasury due to members as honorarium last session, with the names of gentlemen, raised a laugh by saying that the return would show who were the leal patriots. The only other breaks in the monotony of the day were when Mr Sutton held forth on something which would be "un popular ;" for, in a wheedling tone, he besought the Government to supply him with many copies of the new Licensing Bill to send to Good Templar Lodges, and Sir Robert Douglas solemnly assured the House that he knew one Borough which had not sufficient endowment to buy a wheelbarrow.

THE TRIUMPHAL ARCH AT TARANAKI.

Mr Hursthouse gave notice that he would ask the Government to lay on the table a copy of the police report referring to the attempt to destroy the triumphal arch during the visit of the Premier to Taranaki, with correspondence relating thereto. Mr Stout gave notice of a bill to amend the electoral law.

LICENSING BILL,

Mr Sheehan gave notice of a Liceusing Bin- Mr Fox asked if tbe Hon. Horn Nahe had opposed the Government in the Lands Court at Te Aroha.

DUNEDIN, this day. At the Colonial Bank meeting yesterday, after the report had been adopted, Mr Robert Gillies, while admitting that the officers and directors deserved credit, could not join in awarding them too lavish praise, for the position of the Bauk did not look to him to wondrously advantageous as reprc eented. He did not wish to throw cold water on the institution, which should be strong enough to stand a little criticism. Looking at the money at their disposal, there was little to blow about, for they showed only 2 per cent on it. He did not know the cause yet, but pointed out the fact, remark ing that there was just a little room for improvement. The Chairman pointed out that they had earned 2 per cent on their money, which was not surpassed by many of largest banking establishments in the world. The Colonial Bank atood very well in comparison with many old Banks in that respect. Their profits in 1877 had increased by £7,000, and in this half year had increased on that by £9,000, and he hoped the shareholders would be satisfied with that, and rest assured that the directors would always do their best for the institution.

Mr Cowie. General Manager, in return ing thanks, reminded the meeting that large profits could only be made by running very great risk, and such a course he would never feel inclined to recommend to the directors. „„_ GENTLEMEN CRICKETERS' TEAM.

Mr Conway writes that "After (?), Shaw, and Morley will accompany the Gentlemen Cricketers'.Team on the; Australian tour."

THE £75,000 COMPENSATION. It became known on delivery of the Rin garooma mail this morning that the law suit, which involved the ownership of the celebrated Moa Flat Station, and which has been before the courts here for upwards of two years, had been settled by defendant, Mr Clarke, of Victoria, paying to the plain tiffs the sum of £75,000, each side paying its own costs. "_Egles," in the "Austra lasian," says:—"The proceedings have been terminated through the skilful inter vention of a friend of mine. Both parties, strange to say, were pleased, and tendered my diplomatic friend a handsome honora rium. He did something similar once eforc in «a gprotracted lawsuit onfaccounts as stated between the parties. The plain tiffs owed Mr Clarke £30,000, so that the eettlement is really equal to over £100,000.

NAPIER, this day. AN OLD AUCKLAND RESIDENT IN TROUBLE. An old man named McManus, who hails

THE ASSAULT AT DRURY.

In last night's issue we stated that John Callaghan had been seriously injured at Drury, and had been taken to the hospital. Examination proved that inflammation had set in, and that the injuries were likely to prove fatal. Information was sent to the police, with the suggestion that any state ment required should be taken as soon as possible. Sergeaut-Major Mason at once proceeded to the hospital, and tha deposi tion of Callaghan was taken before Mr Robert Fergusson, J. P. Callaghan stated that h» was taking a drink iv Godkiu's Hotel at Drury, on Saturday last, in com pany with Michael Butler and others. After some hot words between himself and Butler, the latter struck'him, knocked hiiu down, and kicked him once or twice, when he became insensible. Butler went to see him on Monday, and cxprssscd regret for what had happened, and wanted to take Callaghan home with him. Butler after ward* (sent a man to know if a summons was going to be taken out. Callaghan thought tho quarrel might have been causo^l by referaice made to 10a and a pair of boots which Butler had belonging to Callaghan. The two men had drinks together at various times during the day. The above is the substance of Callaghan's deposition ; he lies in a dangerous condi tion, and but little hope is entertained of his recovery. Yesterday Detective Jeffrey was des patched to Maketu to nrrest Butler, and after a vigorous search discovered him in the bush ; took him in custody and brought him to town. This morning Butler was brought, before the Court and charged with the offence, and was subsequently taken to the Hospital.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

After being remanded at the Police Court this morning the prisoner was taken up to the Hospital, and heard the depositions made yesterday read over in Callaghan's presence. He put a few questions to him about detaita, and more particularly about the origin of the quarrel. Callaghan is dying of rupture of the bowels, nothing having passed through him since tlm accident. He is a single man. Both the prisoner and Callaghan were settlers near the scene of Shanaghan's murder.

The Municipal Conference.

(From Our Special Rsporter.)

WELLINGTON, Thursday.

At the meeting of the Conference to-day considerable discussion took place on the clauses relating to streets. Several notices of motion were given on the subject, to bo considered to-morrOwr.

Mr Charters, of j Sydenham, gave notice in reference to clause,9s, that he would move that owners ctuting up blocks should be compelled to form and metal necessary streets before submitting such blocks for sale. Notice was also given that all courts, streets, or alleys be absolutely closed against the passage of vehicles. Another notice was given that the present terms "streets, court, alley," as used in the Act,. were likely to lead to confusion, and that the term "thoronghfare or way" be substituted, and stringent clauses introduced relating thereto. Several notices were given regard ing loans, Mr Charters moving that tde Government be asked to undertake the raising ot such loans. Mr Power, from the Thames, gave notice that he would move tor Clause 331 being alteied so as to provide for the erection of buildings on the street level; the prevention of accumulations of stagnant water in hollows, aud proper con trol of cellars; also as to the question of nuisances. A number of technical altera tions were made, not involving any public interest. The Conference then adjourned.

A deputation waited on Mr Ballance on the question of charitable aid. The Government promised to consider the question.

THEATRE ROYAL.

Robertson's comedy of "Home" and the absurd farce of "Dundreary Married and Done for" were produced at the Theatre last night to a good house. Press of mail and Parliamentary news prevent us from reviewing th«m at length, but we may say that Mr Sothern's Alfred Dorrison was an excellent performance, aud Mrs Hill's Par mala Pinchbeck a very clever conception The farce was extremely laughable if not somewhat extragavant. The same pro gramme will be repeated this evening.

CITY COUNCIL ELECTION.

The polling for the election of a member of the City Council in the place of Mr Richard Dickson, resigned, took place to day. The candidates were Mr W. Crowther and Captain J. Casey. There was very little excitement, but a good deal of interest was evinced in the result. The poll com menced at nine o'olock, and from that time cabs placarded with glaring posters were to be seen busily plying in all

directions, and bringing in large numbers of the "free and independent." _ Both candidates were on the ground durihgthe day, and their presence no doubt inspired their respective committees with renewed energy in their efforts. A large number of votes was polled, but as the poll does not close until six; o'clock this evening, we are unable to give the result to-day.

The value ot coke aa a fuel, and as a means of econom.y of coal, ia not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking and raising steam, as it sorbs the smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the fire IrigTilMr, clearer, and Jiottir. Every house holder ahould buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result.
