THE LOST TRIBES AND THE ANGLO SAXON RACE.

We have been requested to publish the follow ing •_■' An incontrovertible identification of the 'Ten Lost Tribe 3of Israel,' with or in the British Nation or Anglo-Saxon Uace, being the substance of a lecture on that subject flr3t delivered at the Yorini? Men's Institute, Auck land, 20th June, 1807, the anniversary or our glorious Queen's ascension ; and with somo variations at Devonport Hall, North Shore, 26th March, IS7B, by the Rev. James Sprick Hudson, ol! Warkwortli, Auckland. N.Z. I SDeak as unto wise nwn," bej?an the lecturer, '• iudere ye what I say." He then proceeded to shew that God hail condi scended to reveal to Nebuchadnezzar, and to all men through him, in a dream which Daniel interpreted, these interesting facts:—That under the figure of an image composed of four different metals—gold, silver brass, iron—four great and almost uni versal Monarchies were intended, and which had accordingly been seen in succession upon the earth, namely ; 'Hie Babylonian, the Medo- Persian, the Grecian, and the Roman : and that at the decline of the Roman Empire, another kingdom compared to a "Stone, should, with out hands, or by invisible power, arise and be made to strike the image on its feet and destroy it; while the Stone itself shonl<' expand into a great mountain, or kingdom, am: 111] the whole earth. That tnis meant a tempoi ..kingdom was proved by various arguments, "d specially by the vision of Daniel in the chapter, where under the figure of fon: Beasts, &c, precisely the same truths uro reiterated. The Kingdom of the Stone, he insisted, was also plainly predicted in the 21st chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, by our Saviour, who there foretold the advent of a "Nation," which He calls this Stone; and says, " That on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall, like the stone in Daniel, grind him to powder." Thus were exhiDited, by the pen of the seer, and the parable of the Saviour, the future grandeur and coming glory of a great nation, which in these latter days should, urged onwards with irresistible energy, crush under it every opposing power, and spread and grow till it " filled the whole earth.' The next point stated was: ihe present existence of the nation of the Stone, in the Anglo-Saxon race. This ho proved by its name, (and in Hebrew, great significance exists in cames); Sax in Latin signifying a stone—a great Stone, a lock-by its origin. According to the gleams of light in ancient history co.lected by Sharon Turner, and others, it was " cut out of the mountain." Asia, t'.ie mountain quarry or first home ;of all the ancient people (coming, be it here obssrved, from the very place where the ten tribes of Israel were lost). By its early history, urged by unseen power, it came rolling down from its place in ancient Media towards the North and West of Europe, and was amongst the tribes of barbaric men, who helped to break up the Roman Empire, or "smote the image on its feet," by its vast expansion. It continued rolling on till it reached the British Isles, then spreading westwa- d to the Americas, southward to the Indies, eastward to Australasia, filing or occupying many vast regions of the earth: So that in almost every degree of latitude, from the Northern to the Southern Pole, and in every degree of longitude (as with the sun) you travel round the globe there is found some territory owning to the sway of the Anglo-Saxon race. And those territories-mark it well-become populous and powerful at an unprecedented rate. Nothing, hitherto, has been able to arrest the progress of " this stone. Those who fell on it have been broken to pieces; on whom it fell it has ground him to powder." (Daniel 2, Matthew 21.) And it is now literally becoming " a multitude of nations."—(Genesis 48.) From the " Lost Tribes of Israel who were carried away caDtive, and placed, in Media, it was next argued, had the "nation of -this Stone "come:—From Joseph, of whom his father said, -'Thence is the shepherd, the stone -of Israel." (Genesis 19, 21); from Joseph, who was the "stone- rejected by the builders —cast on; and sold as a slave by the other patriarchs—but yet made by God in His edification ot the lsraelitiah nation in Egypt "The head oC the corner •" from Ephraim, the youngest son 01. Joseph, of whom was uttered the marvellous! prediction "he shall become a multitude of nations" (Genesis 18, 19), and of whom, as well as of his father, Joseph, many great tilings were spoken both by Jacob and by Moses in his dying song of blessings on the tribes ; which things were not fulfilled before the captivity of the Ten Tribes, but which—be it well observed have been, and are now being manifestly ful filled in the "nation" of "this stone, or the AThe OTOphßcieTof the future, too, plainly shew (Ezek. 37 : 1-17) that at the time (now apparently approaching swiftly) when the Jews, including the tribe of Levi, are to be restored to the land of their fathers, as a resuscitated nation, then also another nation—it is positively stated as a litera' fact, and in such a way that there is no possibility of allegory or spiritual meaning in the case-another nation, even the long missing Tribes of Israel, shall be included in this resur rection, and the " two nations shall then become one, be governed by one prince, and he of the tribe ofJudah, or "my servant David"—to whom, say some of the Angio- Israelitista, the ancestry of our own most gracious Queen may be very clearly traced. 10 deepen the impression this statement would naturally make on . his audience —to fasten, yea, rivet on their minds this truth, Ezekiel was directed to enact a scene. " Take," said Jehovah, take on 6 stick, and write upon it: " Kor Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick and write upon it, *or Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the houße of Israol and his companions; and join them one to another; and they shall become onein thine hand." (v. 1017). Thus was displayed to the eyes of people an ocular demonstration or the certain, destined, inevitable re-union ot tne ■" two nations," never to be dissolved any more. (v. 23). Now let this that follows be well ■weighed. "Wo all know where one stick, that of Judah, is to be found. But ■where (tell us ye who justly look for the speedy restoration of the Jews, where) is the other stick or nation to be round i The congruity of the Scripture requires another ■"Nation" definite and distinguishable, like the Jews, to be produced, that they, as the sticks in the hand of the prophet, may in the hands of divine providence be indissolubly joined into one. Look around the world and tell us, where is this people to be found? Where, but m the Anglo-Saxon race? No other people do—and at this time of day, no other people can-answer to the description given of " the stone ot Israel, Of the lost "Ephraim, and the children of Israel his companions ;" of the " Nation " to be placed as head " husbandmen " in the " Lord sbineyard —apposition once held, but long since lost by .the Jews.but to'bo gained, our Lord said, by a people described as " bringing forth the fruits ot Gocis Kingdom," called by Him " a nation,' named by Hun "this stone," and described by Him as '' breaking in pieces," its assailants, and grind ing to powder" its opponents; even as the British nation, or the Anglo-Saxon race, a " people terrible from the beginning hitherto, has done! Now, as we said before, so say I now again, "I speak unto wise men, judge ye what l say. We appeal to your candour and S°°d . s? n!?- Fully and fairly test the statements that have been adduced. la there any flaw in the argu ment? Is there any unsound link in the chain of reasoning? If there be, you will do a good deed and confer a favour upon many by point ing it out. If there be an unsound plank or a rotten timber in the vessel, pray expose it to View, We would uot keep the sea m a crazy ship. But if no unsoundness can db found, then step into the gallant bark, lor she is bound, we believe, on an important, a beneficial, a God-blessed voyage.

ONEHUNGA BOROUGH COUNCIL.

(To the Editor of the Star. ) Sir,—The report in yesterday mornings "Herald" of the Onehunga Borough Council meeting is incorrect. I am reported to have said : " But the best proof of the perfect legality of the whole arrangement was that the Mayor of Auckland told me the Western Springs abattoir was not yet a success ; and that they had tried every way ts upset the Onehunga one, but could not." The words I used were these (which were given in answer to a remark that an abattoir was worth £1000 per annum) : " I under stand, from the Mayor of Auckland, that the Western Springs abattoir had not yet S roved a success, and I thought if we had one an illegal act in opening the Onehunga

abattoir the Mayor of Auckland would have upset it." By inserting this explana tion in the Star, I shall feel obliged.— I am,&c, James W. Waller. Onehunga, April 18, 1878.

THE LATE BISHOP SELWYN.

(To the Editor of the Stab.) Sir,—The late Bishop of Lichfield possessed many undoubted excellencies, for which he has been justly held in admiration. Of late years his Ritualistic proclivities have, however, pain fully wounded the Evangelical party in the Chu eh of England, and called forth correspond ingly condemnatory articles from the conductors of the periodical press, in connection with that party. In addresses delivered by him, after his return from a tour through Canada and the United States, in 1874. the Ritualistic, element was so apparent that the "Rook'-the most truthful and outspoken organ of the Evangelical party—felt bound to expose and characterise such defections in the Bishop's views as dan gerous. Those who read the Rook at that time can bear testimony to this lact.—l am, &c, A Chukchman.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. THIS DAY.

(Before R. C. Bavstow, Esq., R.M.) Judgments For Plaintiffs.—W. IT. Connell v. Percy R. Vaughan, claim £36, promissory note, costs, £3 7s; Richard Peters v. Thomas Ingles, claim £24, bal ance of account for wages, co.sts, £2 12s.— Mr Thorne for plaintiff. Adjourned Case. —T. and H. Cooke y. Percy C. Frasi, claim £2 13s4d ; H. Mofflin v. J. Clmrton, claim, £4 10s. Defended Cases. —Alexander Wright v. James Dempsey. Claim, £6 damages. Mr McKeclmie for" Mr Brock for plaintiff, and Mr Laishley for defendant. The plaintiff in this case is a resident in Hobson street, and the defendant a contractor, residing in Wellesley-street, aud the claim was for an alleged breach of contract in connection with plaintiff's premises and the reclamation works qarried on by defen dant in the locality for the Harbour Board, Matthew Henderson, architect, knew Mr Wright's premises, and was engaged in August last by plaintiff to superin tend the work; a great quantity of earth had been removed by defendant, and Mr Wright's house lowered, and it was consequently not now in so goocl^ a con dition. The premises were not re-instated as per agreement between the parties to his satisfaction, the house was not in the same condition as before. To Mr Laishley :he only knew what work Mr Dempsey had to do,' from Mr Wright, who employed him; he had not been supplied with the gradings of the new street, and he could not speak positively on that point.— Mr Laishley urged that the witness was not in a position to say whether the whole of the work had been satisfactorily performed. —His Worship said that if witness could shew that a portion was not properly done, the whole could not have been done correctly. —A good deal of argument followed. —Mr Henderson proceeded to shew that the verandah, roof, and saddle boards were damaged by the blasting of the rocks. A skylight was also broken, and the steps loosened. He had complained to Mr Dempsy about the careless manner in which the work was done.—Mr Laishley said he had seven witnesses for the defence. —His Worship said he did not see how the defence could further go, as Mi- Henderson had been engaged by both parties to superintend the work, and had shewn that he was not satisfied. —Mr Laishley said he could prove that the only condition on which Mr Dempsey was liable was omitted in the particulars of demand. The work had been done accord ing to the specifications, bnt not, it seems, to the satisfaction of Mr Henderson. His defence was two-fold—(1) on its merits, and (2) that the work was done within the six months as agreed upon. His Worship ruled that the particulars set forth in the deed were sufficient for the purposes of the Court, and judgment must be for the plaintiff; costs, £3 ss. Isidore Alexander v. Percy C. Fraser. — Claim, £20 9s 9d. Mr George for plaintiff. This was a claim on a promissory note, the particulars of which plaintiff explained. Costs, £3 14s. Hewson v. Mulvaney, claim, £2.—Mr George forplaintiff, ard Mr McKeclmie, in structed by Mr Brock, for defendant. —This was a claim to recover possession of an allot ment, No. 69, sec. 32in the city of Auckland from the defendant, MrsMulvany, who held the property as a gift frem a lady on leav ing the colony. The plaintiff, a surveyor in the Public Works Department, alleged that he was the rightful owner of the allotment, by purchase of Mr Hitchen, and to which he possessed a title. Plain till' in a previous hearing of the case had shewn that he was entitled,, but failed in shewing that defendant's cottage was on the allotment he had purchase.—The plaintiff, Francis Maurice Hewson, on being sworn, produced the certificate of title, and had duly given defendant notice to quit. He called to assert his right to the satis faction of defendant, but she slammed the door in his face. —To Mr McKeclmie : He had not put the property up for sale, nor endeavoured to realise on it. Henry Greensmith Wade, public valuer, deposed that he knew the house in Lornc street, and it was only worth 7s a week, tiie place was in a very dilapidated condition ; he believed ths house was on the allotment in dispute.—Joseph Taylor Armitagc, solictor's clerk, proved to serving defendant with notice to quit.—The Court could not accept the notice as evidence, as it would imply the relationship of landlord and tenant, which might not exist.—A long discussion ensued as to the value _ot the property, which was most perplexing to the Court, as the valuation had been variously stated by different witnesses. The plaintiff had previously mentioned 10s per week, then Bs, and now 6s ; the cottage and allotment were assessed at £20 per annum, but the valuer now stated that that was beyond the mark.—His Worship said it was impossible for him to decide upon the value in the face of such contradictory evidence, which, according to evideuce, ha '■ fallen in value in a fortnight from 10s to Qs. —His Worship finally ruled that it was above £20, the Court therefore had no con diction, and consequently had no power to give cost. John Ward v. Percy Porter, claim £20 4s. Mr Laishley for plaintiff and Mr Keating for defendant. The plaintiff claimed for work done at Mr Hammond's house at the North Shore, according to contract. The defence was that defendant had not been furnished with full particulars. His Worship ruled that the particulars were sufficient.

CITY COUNCIL BANK ACCOUNT.

At the City Council yesterday after the STAR had gone to press, Councillor Goldie moved "That the bank account ot the Council be submitted to tender for a term of three years." In supporting the motion, he said he did so for the following reasons : First, in a spirit of fairness to the other banks doing business in this city. He could not say that the Council was ever justified in arranging with any bank for the Corporation account without allowing the other banks the privilege of competing. Secondly, the Council ought to put it beyond the power of any person to say that any Councillor or Councillors had sacrificed the public interest for private or personal gain, by giving to any banking institution the Corporation account upon terms inferior to those likely to be obtained by submitting the account to public competition. Thirdly, because he felt satisfied from inquiries that the terms upon which business had been dons with the Bank of New Zealand under an agreement entered into with the Council before many 01 the present Councillors be submit a portion of the terms upon which the Auckland City Council had been doing busiaess with the Bank ot

offered by the Bank of New Zealand, ac cepted .by the City Council of Christchurch. In the first place, the City Council of Auckland had been paying to the Bank of New Zealand for overdraft tit the rate of eight per cent per annum ; and in the second place the Council had not been allowed any interest upon its daily credit balances. The same bank was doing business with the Christchurch City Council, k if the reports extracted from Southern papers were correct, as follows : Charge tor overdraft, six per cent less than that charged to the Auckland City Council; interest allowed on daily credit balances, five per cent. During the month of May last the Auckland City Council had standing to its credit between £18,000 and £19,000. If interest upon the daily credit balance had been allowed there would have been £75 at five per cent; or over £90, if at the rate offered by the Bank of Australasia. In addition to that he might state that the average daily credit balance of the Auckland City Council for the last twelve months had been between £4,000 and £5,000. Taking it at £4,500 the interest at five per cent would be £225, or at six per cent £270, the amount which the Council would have been entitled to re ceive if interest on daily credit balances had been arranged for. He though he had said enough to warrant him in expecting that the Council would unanimously adopt the motion which I have now submitted. There was just one other thiug [that he desired to add, " That in every case, so. far as he had been able to ascertain, where tenders had been called by public bodies for their bank ing accounts,' the various banks, including the Union, New South Wales, National, New Zealand, and bank of Australasia had offered from five to six, and even eight per cent on the daily credit balance, so that he had no hesitation in saying that in throw ing open the account to public tender the like results would be obtained.

Councillor Morton seconded the motion, which was agreed to.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL GOVERNORS.

A meeting of the Grammar School Governors was held at the Board of Education this afternoon. It was resolved that applications for the Secretaryship and Treasurership be received on Thursday week, and that the combined salary for the two shall not exceed £100 per annum. It was resolved that the Chairman and Mr Murdoch be appointed to arrange for the purchase of a suitable seal for the Board. It was also resolved to advertise in the New Zealand and Australian papers for masters to fill the vacant stuations. A discussion arising as to increasing the salaries of the new masters. Mr Macrae stated that the revenue of the Grammar School is £3,700, and the expenditure £3,400. It was decided that at the revenue and expenditure were so nearly equal the salaries should not be increased.

The value ot coke as a tuel, and aw a moans of economy ot coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal aud coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs tne smoke or inflammable gases given oil by coal during combustion, and renders the lire brighter, clearer, and hotter. Every house holder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised else where. -[Advt. 1 ____„„.„..„,«.
