EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.

(To the Editor of the Star.) qr X _I)rapers' assistants and others seem , +n be under the impression that if the Socers can be induced to keep open shops -fill 10 P.m. on Fridays, the Saturday night shopping difficulty is settled, and that the grocers being closed on Saturday evening will compel "the working classes to turn out en masse on Friday. This I think, is quite a mistake ; ■ they'overlook the fact that butchers' meat will always purchased on Saturday after noon or evening by the majority of the work ing men's wives, for two reasons. One is they get better value for their money by taking delivery at the shop; and the other is i that during the summer months meat will not keep good from Friday : till Sunday, as it would necessarily have to be slaughtered on the Thursday. - Changing market day from Saturday to Friday has seriously effected trade in Queen street, and the alteration now suggested by the assistants will tend to drive tra<3e more than ever to suburban and country stores. Employers will be wise to think Avell over - the question, and consult one another, before they make promises which it would be dishonourable to withdraw from when they discover the mistake they have made.— Yours &c, An Employer.

CITY OF GLASGOW BANK.

[To the Editor of the Star ]

■ Slß—The late disaster to the people of Scot land, through tbestopeage of the City of Glasgow Bank, in consequence Of which contributions are solicited from colonial chanty, is a subject ■ upon which I think remarks are permissible. A 'Scotchman myself, my sympathies are, of course, with my country men and women; all the more so, perceiving as I do from the > Glasgow papers, that a majority of shareholders • are of the Jatter sex. It ia dreadful "hard lines" upon those poor ladies-most of. them living in quiet retirement upon their small i stipends, in the way of dividends—to loose their incomes and capital; but to be, moreover, called upon to pay £600, £600 per share on every share they hold is an awful and unprecedented calamity—such, indeed, as must awaken some spark of pympathy in the breast of the most obdurate and hard-hearted. Yet, sir, Jooking at the subject from another and a business point of view, are colonists to be atked to put their hands in their pockets to help to bolster up commercial swindles in the Old country, or would the good folks at home willingly assist "commercial swindles' in the colonies. This is perhaps a harsh term to apply to the case. Truth is sometimes better, but is it not the fact? And were not share holders (i.e. partners) in this dishonest concern for many years pocketing large dividends out of fictitious profits:—From all accounts it would apper the New Zealand securities oi; the City of Glasgow Batik are the only assets upon which there will be no loss. So if New Zealand re funds what it got, I think Glasgow should be content.. Perhaps some of your readers or writers, better able then myself, will express their opinions upon this subject, I believe it is taken up pretty warmly in tha South Island.— Yours, etc., Scotticcs.

REV. FATHER HENNEBERRY'S MISSION.

The Rev. Father Henneberry continued Ma mission services on Saturday evening, when fully 3,000 people assembled in the marquee. SpeakiDg on the. temperance question in the evening, he said 4,000 persons had taken the pledge in Auckland: and if Bishop Moran could say that the fact of 2,600 people having taken the pledge in Donedin had caused a saving of .620,000 a yeai-, what would be the saving here ? The curse of Irishmen had been drunkenness. He (Father Henneberry) did not direct his shafts against the hotel-keepers, but he desired to benefit the people. He had intended this evening to explain the system of supporting schools in America, but would defer it for another occasion. The kvening Stab of that evening was very favourable to him in its notice of his address, and it had always treated him with great fairness. He had not much to complain of about the papers of this city, because_ they had done him many favours ; but it was impossible for a journalist who is not .a Roman Catholic to report the proceedings of the Church in a correct manner. Even a Catholic layman who is not well versed in Catholic lore would sometimes make mistakes in reporting Catholic matters. He did not blame reporters who made mistakes when those errors were not wilfully m ide. When he saw mistakes in the papers he did not as a rule write to correct them. If he were to attempt to correct all the mistakes that he saw from time to time in the newspapers in New Zealand he would have to give up his mission, andhe would not do that for all the newspapers in the world. Ho had no time for that. His attention had been drawn'to a mistake in the Evening Star, which he ■ supposed was not purposely made. It was ther&stated that he had said, in speaking of wax candles, that he attributed great efficacy to them; and that would leave readers under the ■ impression that these candles po33esaed some virtue in themselves—for example, power to drive *& way devils from them. Of course, that, was a mistake of the reporter. He hadsaid that ! the blessings of the Church attached to those wax candles which the Church blessed for; religions purposes, and which were lighted up on the occasion of the services of the' Church. t (The rev. gentleman here repeated. the form of - prayer used in blessing these candles. The prayer beseeches the Almighty to cause the candles to dispel darkness from amongst men, so that in whatever place they may be evil may be * driven away, and no molestation shall come to 'those who worship God.) It was not the wax which had any virtue, but the benediction of the Church. "All things," says St. Paul, "maybe ■ blessed by prayer and the Word of God." It was from the benediction that the blessing was derived. That was very different ifrom what he was reported to have said. The report would lead non-Catholics to say, .. .*' Now you see the superstitien of the Roman * Catholic Church ; now you see its folly." He did not desire to reflect any discredit on the Evening Star, but simply to show how non- ! v Catholics might fall into mistakes. The" "Herald" bad made a mistake in stating that >he was selling sashes, whereas he had nothing to do with it beyond advising the sale of sashes for the benefit of orphans. He had not, since -he came to Auckland, said a single word to -offend any Protestant, except in speaking about poor Chiniquy. He (Father Henneberrj) had nothing to retract. He had simply forewarned • Catholics and Protestants about that man. The ♦Catholics would act npon hia (Father Henne berry's advice, but their non-Catholicfriends would believe in Chiniquy to a certain extent, -and would give him their money. He (Father Henneberry) had performed his simple duty. He fchad not slandered any man. If it were stated ten thousand times over that he had slandered a man, he (Father Henneberry) would *deny it. Ghiniquy was known all over America and Australia, and^more could be told about him than had been published: The 9 o'clock mass yesterday was attended by the Hibernian •Society'in regalia. .• ■ ' ■ ■-"" ■ YESTERDAY" MORNING. r The service at eleven o'clock yesterday morn ing was well attended, the marquee being about threepartsfull. FatherHenneberryexplainedthe benefits which he said accrued from association with the Societyfor the Propagation of the Faith. The subscription was a half-penny per week, and this they all could afford. Nearly 400 collec tors had been appointed, but 20 more were re quired. These would be asked to come forward at the evening service. The rev. gentleman then referred to the education question. He was glad to see that they had, with one excep tion, declared themselves opposed to the present school system. He said that it was contrary to the Roman Catholic religion to support a secular system of education, and all who voted for^it must consider themselves outside the pale of the Church, and they would not receive any benefits from the Holy Sacrament. The newspaper people here had telegraphed to the Southern papers that the peODle of Auckland were in favour of secular education. He now denied;; that as a falsehood. He then went-- on to say that there was not sufficient school accommodation for Catholic boys in this city, and stated that if he-had the, management of these affairs he would have proper Catholic schools, and an experienced and trained corps of teachers. Father Fynes, Vicar-Genera' here, rose,. and informed the speaker that he gave him authority to do as he pleased in the matter. Father Henneberry then stated that he would remain in the diocese until the end of February, and carry into effect the reforms he had sketched out. About snfty persons took the pledge, .and the service terminatedin the usual manner.,;;; j , ~..•_+. At 3 o'clock yesterday the members of _tHe Catholic Temperance Society, who have taken ■ the pledge from Father, Henneberry, mustered in .Lowers Hobson-street,, and formed into order of procession. The procession was headed by the Hobson Baud;-- then, the Sunday-school children, followed*by.,th.e children of St. Mary's Orphanage, the boarders at the convent school, young men, single girls, married men, and lastly ■•-, marnedr women. ;, Next; ,came two., open ■'■-;■ carriages with Very Rev.

The spectators, numbered between 5,000 and-6;000. Our reporter counted the pro cesssion as it passed up Hobson-street, and

found that it numbered about 1,100 all told • but it was gradually increased as it proceeded until it is said to have reached 1,300.

SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

OAMARU, this day. THE HON. J. T. FISHER; The Hon. J. T. Fisher has so far recovered as to warrant his proceeding to C/hristchurch. He left by the express train to-day. WELLINGTON, this day WRECK OF THE TQREA. The Claud Hamilton reports the schooner Torea, of Auckland, a.total wreck, in Tory Channel. The Torea sent a boat on board, and'reported that in beating put of the channel she struck heavily on a rock. The vessel imniftdiately made water, so fast that the captain had to beach her two miles inside of the channel, where she now lies full of water. All hands are safe. [The Torea was built at the Kaipara in 1875. She is a schooner of 78 tons registered tonnage. She sailed on the 3rd instant from Lyttelton for Kaipara.] VIOLENT THUNDER STORM. A violent thunderstorm yesterday caused severe floods in the country, and much damage, which is estimated at several thousand pounds. It was the heaviest flood for more than ten years. There are 15 steamers in port to-day in cluding six Union Company's boats, viz.,— the Wakatipu, Tararu, Havvea, Taupo, Taiaroa, and Claud Hamilton. THE TELEGRAPH DEPARTMENT. The deferred telegrams system has proved a great success. During the first week the' system was in operation 338 deferred telegrams were sent, but last week the total was 1,017. The revenue from this source now amounts to about £2,000 a year. This is said to be all profit to the Depart ment, as the deferred system does not appear to interfere with the number of ordinary telegrams sent. Ths increase in the revenue of the telegraph department as a whole has also ' been particularly marked during the present year, and it is estimated that at the and of the financial year will show a surplus of > £S,OOO or £9,000.'

AN AMBUSCADE.

Noumea, November 18. ONE of the best affairs occurred oia the 10th, at a place near Dogny, where the first rebels took action. Here a party of " Ec laireura" (voluntsers), under the charge of Surveillant Bonnieux, formed an ambush for the natives. On they cams little dream ing the welcome that awaited them. | Now they draw near—one hundred yardd, and still innocent of all that awaited ithem. Fifty yards, twenty, ten, when the word was given the rifles vomited forth, their deadly charges. Six of the foe succumbed; the others were soon lost to sight id the impenetrable woods, leaving their dead where they dropped. A SURPRISE. During a late expedition made by a corporal and ten soldiers of the Infantry Marine in search of the rebels, they found, near to Bourail, a new village audaciously built upon the site of an old and recently destroyed one. Not a single native was seen during the|reconnoitre7 until on the return to the post, after burning the j.ew buildings, the small band found themselves snrrounded by 150 to 200 kanaka, y iio hoped to destroy them. However, superior arms and discipline gave the advantage 10 the handful of soldiers, and they beat ofF the blacks, with uo loss to themselves, inflicting death and wounds upon their assailants," A MASSACRE. November 21. Again has over-confidence in the black demons who people {this „ island been the .snare. Three small coasters were engaged to carry provisions and ammunition to the military force under command of Colonel Wendling, operating against the rebels in the north of Poya, Adie, &c. Amongst the eleven men composing the three crews was a man named Marianne, whose son was killed in the massacre at Mousieur Houdaille's. He seemed, in spite of the loss of his son, to have scorned the idea that the blacks would do anything against him. It is stated that, warned not to go on shore, and to keep a strict watch, both cautions seem to have been neglected. The lament, able fact remains to be told that the expec ted provisions not aniving, search was made, and at the mouth of the Poya River one pillaged boat was found, and the traces of a sanguinary fight as evidence by broken oars with native's hair adhering. On the borders of the river, hidden away in the scrub, were found provisions, munitions, and—horrible sight—six native baskets filled with freshly cooked human flesh, from which the bones were extracted. Two thousand rounds of Chassepot rifle cart ridges fell into the rebels' hands, and these they employed against the boats of the war steamer Lamoths-Piquet, as they were searching the river on the 16th.

THE ANTI-CHINESE MOVEMENT.

[BY TELEGRAPH.!

(From our own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day. A committee has been formed to originate an anti-Chinese movement in Wellington. The requisition, which was nnmerously and influentially signed, asked the Mayor to convene a meeting on the subject. Mr Dransfield has consented to do so. The Committee suggest Monday or Tuesday week as a siiitable day. On Monday next a meeting will be held to arrange the pre liminaries. A draft petition has been drawn up, which sets out|that the petitioners firmly believe that the Empire of China, possess ing 400,000,000, is able, and will most cer tainly send if permitted, during the next few years, many millions of the moat servile and otherwise objectionable class of immi grants to these colonies; who, on account of their cheap means of living, will, to a great extent, supplant our people in all depart ments of labour where they are physically able to compete with us; that Chinese emi gration to these colonies is almost equiva lent to slavery, and in some respects worse than the coolie1 labour system in tropical colonies (which. has_ often been objected to in British Parlia ment), inasmuch as the coolie trade is usually tinder the immediate supervision of British officials, whereas the jChinese Australian iimniigi'aHts "arei entirely under the rule;; of-their native ;headmen both on the passpge aM for years, after their arrival in the colony. •■'Reference is then made to the exclusive tradings of Chinese, to the fadfc that /ass^Qn';f as they make money-they leavejthe;colony, and then on theiri.arrival in China purchase tor; a term, of yeaJ-Ij a vast.irumfegr.vof- iiheir country .■^eriil|in''or^ißr;lto,',^en'dHfiem;3d:itbe colonies, and wall! m,:'Mi pl'b'babiUty^'Ctljatinue to do so, ''until your 'honorable it House and other similar assemblies' enact laws to pre vent tjiej total swatuping pf the white races with jthe; semi-barbari&ti!serfs;/' • Allusion; is then made to the^dangef of passengers in volved ! in; allowingyGhinameni'tp be sailors j also to' the.baneful 'effects arising from the 'immoraUtyi'qf-'^e^c^-a^'p'roye^l to exist in the centres of pppuiation of the Australian Continent.

This Company is formed for two objects: Ist, and chiefly—Fpr lending money at current rates of interest upon tne security of landed property'situated within the Colony of New Zealand ; and !'*■*■ 2nd. For acquiring, when deemed advisable, landed property situated in or near, to cities or towns, or centres of: populations n the Colony pfNew Zealand, t and thereafter selling it again in whole or in lots as may suit purchasers. With,a, fast increasing population both in town and country,'a very fine climate; and land of great fertilityopened ,-up by {the- construction of roads and ..railways, there is ah altnost in- Bxhaustibje'field for the profitable investment of money;in the,, manner proposed by ;this Com pany, and it is one" very little occupied. This Company intends: to occupy that field, and to offer to the i public—particularly to farm settlers, and the working population generally— facilities for acquiring property, and for erecting nouses, or effecting other substantial improve ments thereon, on reasonably moderate jterms. And the Company can do so profitably to the Shareholders, while at. the; Same time help is - given'-.to -people who,are willing to pay ade quately for the 'advantages and accommodation offered. r",r ' In no case -w ill money be lent otherwise than' upon the security of landed property, a safe margin being always kept. • The system which prevails all over the Colony in the buying of land, is that of deferring' payment of the price,—so much being paid as a deposit; when y the purchase is made, and the remainder by bills for instalments, spread over a limited period of from. oneto r three 'years, the title being only granted when the price is fully paid up. This Company, in consequence iof being" in a position to pay in Cash at once, will certainly be able to buy property on much more favourable terms than; buyers; on deferred payments ; and it is certain that, by the.exercise of ordinary care, a safe and very profitable kind of business can /be done by bu.jing laud and selling again in lots to suit purchasers. It is very well known that Companies in New Zealand having objects similar to those of this Company have been able, notwithstanding very., limited resources, not only to pay large divi dends, but also to add to. capital. ! It is not intended to "call up more than £1 per share, at the*outset at least. The Promoters consider'that,'With 10s. _per share paid up, the Company may make a fair beginning,; and they confidently anticipate ,that, besides; paying a good'dividend. to, the Shareholders, 'the Directors will also,'by judicio'iis investments in landed property, be^able1: from itime- to time, out of profits, to,make additions tpi.Capital^ The turn> over otCapital will b^'ijuick; and there will no' doubt be available^ s^on, a. considerable amount of moneyfrom." deposits made'bypeipleboth at Home arid iii N&w Zealand, so that a large paid-up Capital is not necessary. i isoai hi not -■•■ PfosiieetuSes^'-with "SForms- of for Shares, may~&e obtained at the Offices of the CompanyiifOilk.omithe.BanJier.s^t the Welljiig;> ton Ofnce.-oC'-.at any of the Branches, and the Memprandxan and Articles of Assobiaticfn;!jflay.' be seen in ;the hands^ofi;He Secretary.,, ~„ rivr ) r; Sh.6^d "np"'-iA^otment;b.e made] the Deposit be returned" wlthout^ny'deduetion.
