TIIE E All' Ali A RAILWAY.

Tins morning Massrs Tote, M. H.R., J. Lamb, llendor-ion, Mcllwain, Archibald, and Symth, waited upon the Hon. tho Native Minister at the Supreme Court Buildings and represented the urgency of completing tho middle portion of the Kaipara Railway. The deputation desired to have definite information as to when tenders would be invited as they had already received many assurances from the Government that the work would bo pro ceeded with, notwithstanding M'hich nothing had been done. The Hon. John Sheehan replied thai he had u.eu his utmost endea vours to advance the work and would do so, and the hon. gentleman at once wrote and despatched a telegram to the lion, j, Macaudrew, Minister of tho Public Works, representing that nothing would give greater satisfaction to the people of Auckland than tho pressing on of this work, and requesting information as to when tenders will be invited. " The reply will be communicated to the deputation. THE GOLD DUTY. Mr A. Brodie, Chairman of the Thames County Conncfl, waited upon the Premier by appointment with reference to the matter of the distribution of the gold duty ot the Thames^ between the County and the Borough. The Hon. the Premier said the pressure of business would prevent his giving a definite reply on the subject to-day, but if Mr Brodie would represent tho matter by telegram after 'Ministers' return to Wellington, it would receire early attention. THAMES WATERWORKS.

Mr Brodie also represented to tha Premier the claim which the Thames County Council have to tha unused portion of the iron for the Thames water-race, both for the necessary extension o? the works, and for repair-.. The claim is baaed on an agree ment eutered into between the Thame authorities and Major Atkinson, during the term of office of tbe late Government. Under that agreement tho Government, in consideration of the Pumps being kept going, was to hand over the Thames authorises the .-£40,000 securities advanced on behalf of the Pumpiug Association, to transfer and convey to tho Thames County Council, the Thames Water-race, the plant, flumiug, and apparatus appertaining there to, and all the lamt3 and interest in land vested in the Government for the purposes of the Thames Water-race.

The Premier expressed himself as favour able to the proposal of Standing over theirou, but requested Mr Brodie to put the matter in writing, and communicate with the Government after tha return of Ministers to Wellington. THAMES HARBOUR WORKS.

Mr J. Davis, Chairman of the Thames Harbour Board, also waited on the Hon. the Premier by appointment, with reference to the proposed harbour improvement at the Thames, which embrace the erection of a wharf at Te Kopu, tho extension of the wharves at Shortland and Grahamstown, and the construction of works to retain the silt of the harbour. Mr Davia informed the Premier that he had conferred with Sir John Coode regarding the plan which had been prepared by the Thames Harbour Board of improvement- proposed, and Sir John had authorised him to inform the Premier that the plan would uot in any way clash with the general scheme of works which Sir John Coode had decided to com mend.

Sir George Grey expressed himself as favourable to the proposals of the Thames Harbour Board, and promised to do all in his power o facilitate them. The matter would, however, have to be conaideied in Wellington. THAMES FORESHORE.

Mr Davis further repieututed tho delay in handing over the foreshore of the Thames to the Harbour Board authoiitioe, and tho inconvenience and loss resulting from such delay. The hon. the Premier promised that tho matter should receive the [[prompt attention of the Government.

SIR JOHN COODE.

Sin John Coode has bean engaged all the forenoon inspecting plans and gathering other data at the Public Works Office, Supreme Court Buildings, with reference to the Auckland harbour. The great mass of material., which he has had to examine has prevented his making any practical inspection of the harbour itself, and has merely enabled him to estimate the pro bable scope of such an examination. It will be seen in reference to an adver tisement in this issue, that tbe meeting of the Working JM-u'a Club, appointed for Monday next, has been postponed for a week, owing to the fact of the Auditors iiot t having been able to prepare their report in DEPCNATION FROM THE HARBOUR BOARD. At two o'clock this afternoon Mr J. T. Boylan, Chairman of the Harbour Board, Captain Casey, aud Mr McKenzio waited upon Sir John Coode at the Supremo Court Buildings with reference lo the proposed report on the harbour of Auckland. Tho interview was of a private mid preliminary character. Sir John Good* informed the representa tives of the Harbour Board that he had definitely arranged to learo Auckland on Tuesday next by the steamer City of New York and that thereof there would be little time at his disposal for tho proposed examination of the harbour. He expressed a desire that a _ large chart might be furnished to him as soon as possible. Sir John Goode also requested that Captain Burgess, Harbour Master, and Mr McDonald, Engineer to_ the Board, should wait upon him at half-past eight o'clock this evening, to confer with reference to harbour improvements. Fortunately the Harbour Board has in its possession a large chart, which was available for Sir John Coode's information. Captain Burgess and Mr McDonald will confer with Sir John at the appointed time. ____,

SYKES' TURKISH BATHS.

Mr Sykes is desirous of benefltina; the^iwoplo by giving them roaaonabl- and tfricien. j nra»h baths, and he deserves credit, for his por sevcrance. H*> has for several years struggled, at creat exponse, to establish th(_w batue, ana ha 3 flttod them up on tho most recent and approved principles. 2-fr Sy.tes has ro niodcllod his baths, and made them suitable for both ladios and geutlomea. Lis jlusuan or Roman Bath, on Mr Smolhag'a prmeiple, is the most parfoet ai_d unique in the colony, em bracing tha physiological action of the ihormo- Oxygan hot-air bath, v/hku L_ uiavx ao much good 10 thousands of invalids at Bristol, Manchester, avid in otuar ::_ij^.sn ji'-i'-s e-no. towns.

These baths, have been vieitad by porson. from all parts of the Auetralian oolonies, who, without fcccoption, u«r*e in the opinion that this modiu batn is most natinfactory in ©very rccpect which they have experienced.

WRONG AGAIN.

(To the Editor of the STAB.) Siw _Some persou connected with the "Herald" (judging from this mornings issue) wants to be humourous, poetioal, satirical, &c, and at the expense of a Cavalry Volunteer. I tmhk that the writer micht "devote his attention to something farmore beneficial to the public mind, than by endeavouring to burlesque an acci dent which happened to a respect able farmer, and which might have froved fatal. I wish to inform hum that the horse did not belong to a livery stable, but was bred and owned by its rider, who :s considered one of the best mounts in the Panmure district. It is very <%ident the writer of the article in tho '** Hefald' is no jud«e of horseflesh, as I am in a position to state the horse is well-bred, but perhaps

f rather skittish for Cavalry purposes. The | falling of the trooper was not caused j through bad horsemanship, but through the ( saddle girths,which unfortunately gave way | on the roaring of the animal. In conclusion I think it the duty of our citizens to assist the volunteer movement in every way, and it behoves no one to try and write satirically against those who devote both time and money to Volunteering. — I am, &c, Tbooper^ [Our reporter, who witnessed the accident, is of opinion that such a one might have happened, under the circumstances, to the best cavalryman in the British army.— Ed. U.S.] ■

iyg-ASON AND HAMLIN'S pABINET rvBOANS. Just Landed, Twjenty-Fivk of these Fine Instruments. THE SUPERIORITY Of the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs is derived, not only from motouobbkhx in CONstruotion, especially in vox^ lN<?' r EXTKAOKIJINAKV __WHiI_LK»CH Of --ft™"** and workmanship employed, and^ the pos session cf the most extensive: and OOMHU™ machinery and facilities for majufcrtuie in the world, but also from the raca^OTKUws OV IMPORTANT INVENTIONS. . ThO mo,_t valuable improvements in such e^ those whichliavc been chiefly instrumental in brinKinc them to thek* present populanty and _sKf S £ 11AV._ J__*_K K.-PECTBD BY THOSE NOW ASSOCIATED in this COMPANY. The OJt^Of voicing reeds, the most difficult and mpor tant process in the manufacture of such instru ments, was discovered by Air Emmonsi Hamlin, of this Company, and has been BROUGHT to HIGHEST PERFECTION IN THESE ORGANS. Having it as their earnest ambition to Prodiwo the BEST IKSTRUHBNTB OS' THE CLA.S6, IN THE world, they have buer.. eager to cbtarn the use of evory valuable invention, wherever made, and their extensive business and ample means have enabled them to succeed in this endeavour. WHAT MOST DISTINGUISHED SINGERS ULY. There can be no mure critical judges of Quality of tone than the most eminent singers of .the world. In Now York and other principal cities the Mason and Hamlin Organs aro always selected for use in the Operas and Concerts. We give tho judgment respecting them of many of the most eminent singers who havo visited America. From M'ila. CHRISTINA NIL-SON aud other Members of the Strakosoh Ope- a Company. Wo take pleasure in rccoiauiondisg the Mason* and TT-\MT_ia Cabinet Organ as a very beautiful instrument, and consider it the best now in use. Christina Isilsson, Annie Lovihk Gary, Marie Bison Duval, Victor Oapoul, P. Briunoli, SCO,, Sec. From THKODORE WACHTHIL, Tenor to the Farepa-Hosa Grand Opera Combination, AD. NEUENDORFF, CAUL ROSA and C. SAN TLB Y. Wo heartily recommend the Mason and Hamlin Omganh as the bent instruments of the class made. They have more powder and. greater smoothness and fuluesa of tone, with equality and uniform character throughout their registers. Theodor Wacutel, An. NatJ/TNDOR-fF. Carl Rosa, C Santley. From CH. GOUNOD, the distinguished Com poser of " ''""-Inst," who having used the Mason and Haualiu Cabinet Organs in his concerts, writes as follows to the ..'.gout for those organs in London. Allow me, in thanking you for this organ which you have placed at my disposal for my series of concerts, to express my very favourable opinion on the charm of this instrument, the tones of which, both delicate and full, combine so well with the voice. Ido not doubt that the Mason and Hamlin American Organ -vvdl be of excellent and valuable use in ail vocal or instrumental oo_nbi____bna of moderate nmits. CH. GOUNOD. Tavistock House. From Dr. J. 3TAINER, Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral London. Dear Sir.--I havo been very much pleased with your (Mason aud Hamlin) American Organs on all occasions on which I have had to play upon them. Their tone is remarkably puro and free from readiness, and their touch all that could be desired. - Yoara truly, J. STAINER, Mus. Doc. From JULIUS EICiIBERG , Director of Bosto Conservatory of Music. In quality of tone—the chief excellence in such instrument!-1 think your Organs dccidely excel all others ; and. that in the various other characteristics requisite in a good instrument. they aro deserving of equally high praise. Indeed, I am led from experience to believe that tho more critically they are tested and compared, and tho more competent tho judge, the men. cer.ain and high wid be the nioed of superiority awarded thorn.
