The S.s. Rotomahana wa3 takea into the dock this morniDg-, for a flight overhaul. A new barque, built by Mr J. McGregor for the Auckland and Hobart Town trade, was launched at the latter place on the 10th ult., and named the Loonganna. Referring to her the *' Hobart Town Tribune " says:—She is built of blue gum, with kauri pine topsides and decks, and cooper fastened throughout. Her length overall i* 130 ft., depth 12ft, and beam 26ft., and it is expected that she will register about 260 ton 3, and carry between 350 and 100 tons. For a vessel of her size she is a imirably adapted for carrying passengers, the saloon being aft. The quarters for the meu and boys are amidships m a comfortable house. She is fitted with all the latest improvements. Jn addition to the wind lass forward she has a capstan oa the top-gftllant forecastle. Her masls, which are rather lo'ty, are constracted of the best pine procurable, are gracefully set, having a good rake- As she was on the stocks ready for launching, her fine lines were very much admired, and in every respect she is a solendid specimen of the shipwright's handicraft, and one of which Hobart Town may feel proud. The Loonganna is, we understand, to make one or two trips to China or Mauritius, after which she will be coppered, and ultimately take up her place in the trade b&tween Auck land and this port.

A VERY decided aversion is entertained by a considerable number of honourable mem bers to the disqualifying of representatives from accepting paid office in the public ser vice within twelve mouths after holding a seat in Parliament. When the amended bill, under which this provision is enacted, came before committee last Mouday, the discussion on the clause was very animated. The objections to it were, of course, of the most nobie and patriotic kind. Mr Moor house, that prince of political humbugs, thought the people ought to regard the House of Representatives as the fouutain of honour; and Mr Sheehau believed Dip qualification Bills might be dispensed with, and the Ministry made responsible for all appointments. To the first it may be answered that the stream will be none the less deep and pure because it has well - defined banks ; to the last, that the Cabinet should be thankful for anything that will relieve it from importunity and temptation to do what is contrary to public interests. The law was enacted because neither in the purity of Parliament nor the inimaculate ness of Ministers were safeguards found against the Legislature being made a stepping - stone to the Civil Service. Why, Ministers uublushiugly stepped from the Cabinet into well-paid bertha- and emerged ugmri mio tntr political arena whenever circumstances favoured ! And the smaller fry of needy and seedy members who sometimes iind their way into Parlia ment on the crest of a popular wave in small goldfields and rural districts, could hardly be blamed for following the example of their betters. Not that we view the billet hunters of the House as the worst or most costly element in it. The little perquisites of office which torrn the summit of their ambition are trifling compared with the large monetary interests which wealthy monopolists manipulate to their own advantage by the exercise of their votes and influence. Beside the private re leasing of Canterbury runs, carried by the votes of men who had thousands at stake on the issue, the laches of the needy are insignificant. Still, it is of prime consequence to the country that legislators should be placed in that position which will best enable them to perform their duties independently, without fear of loss or hope of gain. We want a fountain of honesty—" honour" is too ambiguous a term, in these days, to construe. We believe in paying members fairly for their services—partly because it is unreasonable to expect men in a colony to give their time and talents for nothing ;■ partly because it conduces to the result which is claimed for the restrictive provision uf the Disqualifica tion Act; and also because the qualification tor the Legislature should be talent, not money. We desire government by the people—not by the wealthy classes. At the same time, the scale of payment should be a fixed one. We object to the mind of a member of uncertain income being influenced in the slightest degree by possibilities at the close of the session if conscience and support of the Government can be reconciled. The widest construc tion of universal representation will not admit as eligible members of Parliament mea who cannot subsist for twelve mouths after resigning their seats without Govern ment employment. The restriction cannot, therefore, prove irksome to anvoue pro perly in the Legislature; andif the "honour" of Parliament is so perfect as" Mr Moor hduse and his friends profess to believe, it i will readily adjust itself to a code framed on ?the simple principles of honesty and common sense.

With valuable coal mines in all parts of the colony, it surely bespeaks either a want of patriotism or a want of enterprise among the people that nearly a quarter of a million sterling was sent cut of the colony last year for Newcastle coal. Upon this fact we would rivet the attention of capitalists. The tabulated statement, as laid before Parliament, and published in our telegraphic columns last night, shews that Auckland depends more than any other part of the colony upon the local supply; but still it was an importer to the value of £10,000. The consumption of imported coal in the colony has risen from 93,000 tons, value £130,000, in 1870 to 144,000 tons, vtlue £224,412 last year ; but there is an unfortunate lack of evidence that the local production has benefitted to anything like a reasonable degree from the greater demand. It has been established beyond all question that Auckland possesses coal of superior quality both for steam and household purposes, and it may be hop d that, in ;he face of such proof of -waste 1 capital as is furnished in the return quoted, there is a sufficiently earnest desire among the people for the progress of the land of their adoption, to induce them to use and encourage the use of our home product.

1 Ouk special reporter in Wellington reports a gigantic job which was thwarted by the ousting of the late Government. It is stated that an understanding existed by which Sir Julius Vogel was to resign the Agent - Generalship into the hands of Mr Stafford, and was to receive a £25,000 doceur for con verting the twenty million loan into in scribed stock. The present movement in favour of a bonus to the Agent-General has no doubt arisen through the defeat of ihe

other scheme. It is evident that this secret determination to enrich the Agent-General out of the public treasury will have to be very narrowly watched.

THB Austrians have gained another decisive victory over the Bosnians, who still reso lutely resist the occupation. And now tne Porte has refused to appoint a representative to carry out the recommendations otgtne Conference in relation to territorial con cessions inJEpiras and Thessally for the rectification of the Northern frontier oi Greece. This part of the Berlin proposals was not embodied in the ireaty ; the following provision was, however, inserted to meet such a contingency as that which appears to have arisen : "In case that the agreement relative to a rectification of the frontier provided by Protocol XIII., between the bub lime Porte, and the Kingdom of Greece, should not be realised, the Powers declare themselves ready to offer their good services to the two Powers, Ottoman and Greek. It was only upon the earnest representation of England, and an assurance that her interests would be protected, that Greece desisted from pressing Turkey when the Ottoman forces were crushed. The people are determined to secure an extension of frontier; and if the good offices of the Powers are unavailing, a war between Greece and Turkey is not improbable. The peaceful fruits hoped for from the Congress still appear very distant.

Our special reporter in Wellington to-day telegraphs :—" Mr Swanson is using his utmost endeavours to induce the Treasury to pay over promptly the £200 promised to the Auckland dispensary. The money will probably be paid over to-day or Mon-

day. By advertisement elsewhere Mr Masefield invites the ratepayers to meet him at the Mechanics' Institute on Wednesday evening next, at 7.30 p.m., when they will have an opportunity of asking him any questions affecting their interests, and those of the city generally. We hope this commendable example will be followed by other candi dates for city honours. Another escape from what might have been a serious accident has occurred in Durham-street. As usual, "it was on a market day." A. load of timber was coming up to Mr Mackie's new building. The ends of some of the piles projected over the end of the dray. For want of a thoroughfare the dray had to turn to come back. In so doing the timber caught a gentleman, whose agility alone saved him from serious harm. The plans for this street are, we believe, prepared, and the amount of traffic on it renders its improvement very necessary. To the Editor : Sir,—Will you kindly allow me, through your columns, to call the attention of the committee of the Amateur Athletic Club to the fact that it is quite time they called the annual general meeting, and arrange a programme of sports so as to bring off the next meeting as near as pos sible on the anniversary of the first held by them. One reason for wasting no time in this matter is, that we are losing the_ services of our energetic secretary, Mr King, and must appoint his successor, or we wi.l be apt to fiud things getting in arrears.—l am, &c, Young Colonial. The charge of defrauding the Customs, preferred against Messrs Stevenson and Sons, of Melbourne, large soft goods ware housemen, is thus explained in the Judge's charge :—"First or. all, as regarded Mr Stevenson and his employds on the one side and the Customs officer, Withey, on the other, the offence charged against _Mr Stevenson was that he, having received goods both by the ships Centurion and Romanoff, entered these six cases of hosiery, dutiable goods, from the Centurion; and the landing waiter to whom the entry was presented, feeling some suspicion about these goods, ordered them to be detained, 'xhe charge was that Mr Stevenson, being apprised of the detention of theae goods contrived to get them into his possession, thereby evading the examination which might have per haps disco rered a variety of much more raxuauie articles smuygicd in these cases than what had been paid duty on. The value of the goods as declared was some £460, and the duty paid about £-10, and the

transaction begat suspicion that the goods in these cases might have been discovered to be worth thousands, and liable to much heavier duty thau had been paid, if they had been examined by the Customs' officer. Then, as to the charge against Withey, it was alleged that he co-operated in this illegal ' transaction, and that, inconsistently with his duty, he contrived that these six cases should go out of the Komanoff, and so sjet iuto Mr Stevenson's possession ; and that in this way the revenue was defrauded, or, at all events, that thesesixcasesweregot away without the examination they ought to have had. As already announced, the jury dis agreed, ten being for acquittal, and two for the conviction of the principals. About half-past five o'clock List evening an accident occurred in the Karangahape Road, in consequence of a horse bolting, belonging to Messrs Close, grocers. The man in charge, Win. Allen, pulled up opposite to Mr Crawford's, the chemist, to allow the animal to drink, when the winkers fell off aud frightened the horse. A constable tried, without success, to catch him, when the horse rushed on to the foot path his head going iuto the doorway of Mr Greetham's shop, and knock ing Mrs Greetham down. She was standing in the doorway at the time. In the speed the wheel of the cart went against the post of a verandah, and Allen.and a man named Grant were thrown into the street and very much bruised. Allen was severely injured in the leg, and received a deep cut over the eye. We learn this morning that! Mrs Greetham is also injured in her back, and unable to leave her bed this morning, and her injuries are likely to turn out more serious thau at first expected. The young man, Allen, was to have competed this aftei> noon at the Mount Eden Range in the Volunteer firing match, but was not able to do so. Allen was the winner of the belt presented last year by Mr Chapman for competition by the Auckland Naval Brigade. Messrs Close express sincere regret at the unfortunate accident, and have agreed to pay for whatever damage,may have occurred, also for medical attendance, should such be required, for Mrs Greetham. Mr John S. Duke has been appointed Inspector of Nuisances for the Grafton Highway District.

Sunday services are announced as usual in another column. The anniversary ser mons in connection with the United Methodist Free Church win ho preached to-morrow by Revs. J. Piobertson, G. Bond, and R. Taylor, minister of the church. The anniversary tea and public meeting on Tuesday evening. The evening service at the Theatre Royal at 8 o'clock.

The members of the Parnell Cricket Club held their first meeting of the season last evening at the Exchange Hotel. The captain, treasurer, and secretary were re elected.

At the adjourned Tattersall Club meeting at the Occidental Hotel, last evening, Mr Blaydes the secretary, was instructed to take the names of gentlemen disposed to join the club, About thirty responded and the meeting was adjourned, the secretary in the meantime to write to Christchurch for a copy of the rules and regulations of the Christchurch Tattersall Club. The tonic sol-fa system of singing will be henceforth taught in the schools under the Board of Education. Mr T. Cranwell has been appointed the siagiug master at an annual salary of £200, and an extra £50 for a horse, as his duties are spread over an area of several hundred miles. To the Editor : Sir, —I was much amused at the letter of "Working Man" re the price of mutton in your issue of last even in". Had your correspondent taken the trouble to attend the markets, or note Mr Buckland's weekly report, he would find he was getting his meat at cost price. If a "Working Man" will explain where the wrong is that needs resistance, I daresay he will confer a favour on all, who, like himself, consider they are imposed on. Your correspondent should also remember that butchers have wives and families to support as well as he has, and that they do not set their meat for nothing.—Yours &C, C.F.S.

A property and income tax has been pro posed in South Australia by Mr Boucant on the following bases :—l. Upon the owner of any freehold estate ill possession in any land for and in respect of every 20s of the assessed annual value thereof the %urn of 6d. 2. For and in respect of the annual profits or gains arising or accruing to any person from any kind of property whatever in South Australia other than real pro perty, or from any dividends or interest of money, or from any source of income arising elsewhere than South Australia and received in South Australia during any year, for every 20s of the annual value or amount thereof the sum of 6d. 3. For and in respect of the annual profits or gains arising or accruing to any person from any annuities, advances, or stipends, or from any profession, trade, or avocation, respectively, derived or exercised from or in South Australia, for every 20s, of the annual value or amount thereof, the? sum of 3d., provided that in calculating the amount payable by any person under the foregoing subdivisions, or any of them, £200 shall be deducted from the amount in respect of which such person would but for this proviso be liable to pay duty.

The Minister of Education has informed the Board of Education that the whole of the 14 acres at Pokeno have been reserved for school purposes, and the Rev. Mr Bruce who, on behalf of the Presbyterian Church represented the title to a section promised as a church site, had been notified to that effect. A programme has been arranged for the approaching trip of the Canterbury cricketers to Australia. The matches are to begin at Ballarat on December 27th, and close in Melbourne on the 15th. Separate games are fixed against the East Melbourne Cricket Club, Melbourne Cricket Club, South Melbourne Club and Bohemians.

The result of the enquiry into the cause of the death of Wiremu Huniu, -who was run over by Mr Souter's cart in Queen street, on Tuesday last, resulted in a ver dict of " Accidental Death." The deceasad blamed no person for the accident. When Dr. Hooper saw him at Mr Hamilton' 3 shop, he said he was all right, that it wa3 only too much " waipiro," or too much the glass, implying that he had been drinking." He seemed quite cheerful, aud laughed and made light of it. "He rose from the sofa, and, with the aid of a Maori woman, walked home. It turned out afterwards, however, thattherightßtb,9th,andlothribswerefound fractured, and the posterior third, together with extensive internal injuries. The evidence of Yftlliam Souter, owner of the cart, showed that he was in at Eaton's auction-room after securely fastening the chain on the wheel of the cart. He did not, therefore, see the accident.—Alfred Sindon, a carter, deposed : That, on the 3rdinst., about 10 minutes to 7 o'clock, when standing at the corner of Queen and Custom House-streets, by the Waiteniata Hotel, he saw three Maoris standing in con. versation; all seemed the worse for drink. Just then a horse and trap came galloping from round Custom House-street. He sung out to the Maoris to look out, but they took no notice. The cross-bar of the shafts struck deceased and knocked him down, and the off wheel went over him, apparently over his side. Mr Lamb's horse and dray stopped the cart. The chain was on the wheel at the time.

A meeting for considering the propriety of providing a public cemetery was held yesterday afternoon in the Diocesan office, Shortland-street. Present:—Messrs G. P. Pierce (chair), Winks, Hill, Buddie, Joi.es, Chambers, D. Nathan, E. Wayte, and D. Goldie. A discussion followed, when Mr Goldie proposed " Taat the City Council be requested to accept the Whau site for a general cemetery for the city of Auckland and suburbs, and urge upon the Govern ment to complete the railway as quickly as possible, it being absolutely necessary that the present cemeteries be closed as soon as practicable." On being seconded, the chair man was desired to send a copy of the resolution to the Mayor. A vote of thanks closed the meeting.

The Maoris at Waiapu, East Coast, have captured the murderers of the native woman and hold them until the arrival of the police. Great credit is due to Mr Sheehan for his prompt and expeditious measures to seeuie this result.

The North British and Mercantile Insur ance Company, one of the old and most prosperous companies in the world, has established an Auckland agency under the management of Messrs Shera Bros. The Company has a capital of £2,000,000, and a reserve fund of £1,082,768. Its income from fire premiums in 1877 amounted to £916,646. The Auckland agents are no,r prepared to take risks at the lowest rates.

The committeeof the Industrial Home beg to return thanks for the following gifts sent to the Home during the months of July and August:—Mrs Neale.£l for children's play room' also sending gifts at different times ; Mrs Dennis, honey; A. Lacy, damson jam ; Dr. Kenderdine, books for children; Mrs Baxter, magazines ; bread, butter, and loaves from Beresford-street Church; two pictures, from a friend ; Mr Streeter, New ton, sausages ; Captain of Belle Brandon, quantity of oranges.

Mr Martin's next lecture will not be given this evening, but on Saturday next, the 14th inst.

Upon the Naval Brigade competition, Captain Le Roy writes: "Sir, —Your contemporary of this morning, in referiug to the accident in the Karangahape Road,- (by which Seaman Thomas Allen, of the Naval Brigade, sustained some injury), suggests, 'That the captain and members of the Brigade may postpone the competition for a week, so as to give Allen a chance to com pete.' It is not likely that the match will be postponed as Seaman Thomas Allen told me on Thursday that he did not intend to com pete ; his present employment being of such a nature that he could not be absent from it on Saturday afternoon. I mention this in justice to the rest of the men of the Bri gade ; as the paragraph in this morning's paper would make it appear that they took advantage of an accident to secure the belt to one of themselves.—Yours. &c., E Le Roy, Captain A.N.-B.

At the monthly meeting of the committee of the Young Men's Christian Association the Treasurer reported that the fund for liquidating the debt had reached to £835, since which the following donations have been received : Mr J.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE.

SUPPOSED INCENDIAPJSM. On Sunday afternoon last Mr Boyd's Tile Works had a narrow escape from being burned to the ground. The matter ks been in the hands of the police for several days, and has been kept from the public till now. Mr Boyd has no doubt in Ms mind that the affair was the work of an incendiary, Abeut 2 o'clock, on the day in question, Mr Page happened, to be coming through the works, when bis attention was attracted by smoke close to the big shed, containing a large amount of valuable pottery ware. He hastened to the spot and there found that the shed had been set fire to by some unknown person. A large portion of the front entrance was consumed, aud the fire was just getting a firm hold upon the building when it was discovered and extinguished. Mr Boyd cannot account for the action, as he thought he had scarcely an enemy in the world. He states that, had Mr Page not found it at the time he did, his loss would have been several hundreds of pounds, as he was not insured for a single shilling. The police officers are now investigating the matter; bat while suspicion is afloat, nothing definite has been done. There seems to be some person or persons of a vicious turn of mind living iv Newton, when the recent atiempfs of fire are- taken into account. We lope '■, to have to report soon that these ruffians l had been captured. , |

A LIVELY MEETING.

A public meeting of ratepayers was. held to* night iv the Hall, re the acquisition of a portion of the foreshore from the Harbour Board, ana tiie widening of the Beach Road. Mr W.

Mays seconded the resolution. . ' ■ ■ -1 Mr Philips gave some valuable suggestions on the subject. Mr Atkin also addre3-ed the meeting. Messrs Fraser, Cox, Duder, and others tawnßp addressed the meeting, the ratepayers we™ satisfied that the proposal was of great, import ance, and if carried out would vastty uaprova the lvalue of property in this beautifiul district. and make it mere than ever the popular resort of Auckland citizens. The resolution was carried unanimously. Devonport Hall Dispute. . , Mr O. Mays gave the history of the rise ana pr f gres3 of the Devonport Hall, f romits erection ; to the time he bought it. He said he had.alv utfa desire.i that the district should possess its^own, public hall and free library.

DYNAMITE is the Safest and Most Powerful Explosive in use. The Safety; of Dynamite During E Transport and Storage. Extracts from the Official evidence given before i« the House of Commons Select Committee on fc» Explosive Substances—Parliamentary Ses- Blon of 1871 London. Boxes filled with dynamite have been thrown - from a great height, and found to sustain any amount of shock without exploding. They have E also been placed upon an open fire, when the dynamite burned slowly away without ex ploding.—Parli mentary report—Blue Book, page 179. Dynamite has been in a railway collision, and, though the van and boxes containing it were broken, no explosion took place.—Blue Book, page 182, par. 2979. Maior Maiendie, R.A., H.Ms. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in '' bis evidence (page 18, par. 100), that the law re n lating to dynamite is as much too stringent as ~ the gunpowder law is too lax; and (pago 20, II par 115) that the time has come for relieving d safe nitro-glycerlne preparations from such un necessary restrictions as the nitro-glycerine Act mposes upon them. Professor Abel, the Chemist to Her Majesty's War Department, gives his experience that Nobel's dynamite is one of the safest, most powerful, and most convenient explosive agents - applicable to industrial purposes.—Blue Book, pages 56, 57, and 59.
