THE KAIPARA RAILWAY.—INLAND V. COASTAL ROUTE.

MR J. SMYTH writes on the above subject. He complains of the misleading statements, official and semi-official, in the "Herald,' and observes that Messrs. Conyers and Lawson admittedly grounded their report on Mr Stewart's plans. He says : "The great objection put forward by the latter gentleman at the "Wliau meeting was the elevation of the inner line summit, said to be 125 feet more than the highest summit on the coast line. We now read that there is a second summit of about 100 feet, not referred to at that meeting, on the present made line, before the route by the coast line, which should pass over it, reaches the Kumeu Flat, where it would ■join the inner line. Now this has to be overcome, and would leave but a small difference in point of height between the two lines, and as Mr Stewart so kindly added 5 or 6 miles to the inner line I would, on the same principle, add a similar poition to tbe length of his coast line. The latest intelligence I have seen from Wellington seems favourable for the Luckie admirers of this lower line. There is a damper on our hopes in the shape of an nn-Luckie grade of 1 in 35, &c, &c. It is to ruin the whole line by its expensive work- Ing ; it will permit only three trucks to be hauled, at a time. One would suppose from tkis that it is the key to regulate the amount of traffic that is to pass over the line. But remember it is an imperfect report. The friends of the coast line place great stress in their correspondence on the through traffic, and very propperly so, but this traffic must pass over the Hellensville line, and the report referred to ought to bave included that portion if they mean the Kaipara Railway to be the begimng of a Great Northern Trunk line, and as they have omitted doing so, I will supply you with a few particulars. There are upon the line now working several steep gradients all over it of 1 in 33, some 1 in 34, and even 1 in 30, designed by Mr Stewart himself (see Mr Passmore s report).r.nd if our^one despised grade of lin 35 on the inner line can haul only 3 trucks, these several steeper grades cannot be reasonably expected to haul more than 2 or 2J; trucks ,- and if the unanimous en gineering opinions referred to from Wel lington 'be correct, the whole line from Riverhead to Helensville should be shut up at once, and the grades improved from end to end." Mr B. Goodine Boler, of Tauhoa, writes In favour of the coastal route. He says :— ** It would seem reasonable to make the shortest and easiest line (the coastal one) as a portion of the trunk line, and make a branch line to Waitakerei. It is certainly an absurdity to saddle every train running north with increased working expenses for the sake of accommodating owe settlement only. The same remark will apply to any • further extension northward. The line when made, must pass the narrow portion of country between the head of the Orua svharoa branch of the Kaipara harbour and Mangawai.but to get there I do not hesitate In saying from personal knowledge of the country that the easiest, most direct, and in every way the best line will be found to be from Kaukapakapa through Komo koriki, Tauhoa, and Albertland,. I expect to be assailed as a Tauhoa settler, with a charge of selfishness for this statement, and so I might as well say that the.c is certainly in the breast of every man a deeire for his own good ; but it is not right to charge a man with selfishness^ when he advances other sound arguments in favour of hi? opinions, a~d I only desire that the question should be decided by competent engineers without favour to any particular district, looking at the line as a main Northern Trunk road." " Haddy Hoolaban " sends a skit on the situation, but as the matter has been looked at from all sides, and other things are making large claims on our space, corres pondence on this subject may very well cease pending the re-survey of the rival lines.

THE IDENTITY OF THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL WITH THE ANGLO SAXON RACE (Continued).

The Jews at present are nothing more than a dispersed people, yet according to the prophecies respecting them, they will soon he restored to their national privileges. But jsrael must (according to the prophecies respecting them) now be a nation, or the oath and honour of the Lord would be at stake, for he says, "Thus saith the Lord that giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waters thereof roar, the Lord of Hosts is his name. If these ordinances depart from before me, tten the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation." The sun, moon, and stars not hav ing departed we naturally conclude that Israel in the flesh is in existence in some locality, and exists as a nation. To believe that Israel was not now a nation would be to disbelieve the promises of God. Not only was Israel to exist as a nation, but they were to bear another name in cap tivity, for God plainly declares that from the time that the curses came into opera tion on our Hebrew brethren, and the prophecies of Israel began to take effect, Israel should lose her old name and be called by another name. It is impossible to find Israel anywhere upon earth bearing her name. We are told of Israel by Hosea that for her sins she should not be known by the name of "Ammi," or my nation, my people, but that this name should be taken from her, and she should be knoAvn as "Lo Ammi," that is, not my people. So her name and an cestry are lost to recollectiou not only to themselves, but also to Judah, as shown in Jeremiah and Hosea. We British, until within the last few years, were totally igno rant of our ancestry. We knew that we had descended from the Anglo-Saxons, but who they had descended from was the puzzle, until Shannon Turner traced them to Media. Thus we claim this as an identification that we are " the nation of Israel now known by another name. We state that Israel was, whilst in captivity, to go to " the Isles/ to the "Isles of the western sea," to the "north west" from Palestine, that she was to be a nation known by another name, and that we British are in the very locality described by Isaiah and Jeremiah, that we are a nation, and that we are not now known by tho name which our ancestors in Media bore. Isaiah tells us that God would not speak to His people whilst in captivity or exiled state in the Hebrew tongue, but he would address them iv another tougue, "withstammeringlips andin another tongue will he speak to this paople." Now this cannot be applied to the Jews, as they almost universally use the Hebrew, and had Israel retained their old language they never could have been a lost people; still Israel has retained a great many of the roots of her old language, as eminent scholars declare that the English tongue contains no less, than the roots of 800 Hebrew words. Then Israel was to be a mul titude in exile.| When'she had arrived in the " Isles" .she was promised a renewal of strength and an increase of her population. Israel could not be called by another name until they became re-united in the "Isles," and. then, as Hosea says, "The number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered," The increase to the seed of Israel would be given to them when in their exile,and not]in Palestine, after their return. Isaiab,alluding to the return otlsrael to their land, says : " For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall return," which means that on account of the largeness of the numbers and the comparative smallness of Palestine, a portion only would return. And the pro portion is given, " I will take you one of a city and two of a family, and bring you to Zion." Has this been done yet ? We v state that it is since their location in the ' British Isles they have become a multitudi nous people. We take it that few of the birthright promises were realised to Israel when they were in the land of Palestine;

their seed was not then] as the stars of heaven, the dust of the earth, but that it became so in "the Isles" after she had renewed her strength, and become a nation there, when we are told that then she would increase her population so much that she would find her isles too small for her people. Scripture is most explicit upon this point, as we find in the 49th chapter of Isaiah, where Israel is indicated as being within the range of the then prophetic forecast dwelling in the isles. The chapter beginning with "Listen O Isles," and that the chapter is applied to Israel may be known, as in the third verse, Israel is addressed by name—" Thou art my servant O Israel in 'whom I will be glorified." This chapter proves that the events foretold could only happen when Israel was dwelling in the isles, when God tells Israel "thy waste and thy desolate places and the land of thy destruction shall even be too by reason of the in habitants," v. 19. The isles would become too straight for them, so that they would require more territory. "The land of thy destruction" means the land of their exile, and the event must have been after they had broken away from the Assyrians, who alone were the people who had swallowed them up. " And they that have swallowed thee up shall be far away" —-i.e., Israel would now be in the West, and the Assyrians about the East, with no"power over them, now this identity is easy to substantiate. The British Isles are in the West, they are to the north-west of Palestine, the people are a multitude, they are the only people who found their Isles too small for them "by reason of the inhabitants." If we had had no possessions to have emigrated to, we should have been so over-populated that Great Britain would have been one great charnel house. Whether w c look for Israel, East, South, or North it matters not ; no where else on the earth can we find them.

X ADIES, TAKE NOTE OF THIS !— JLj Two important points should not be lost sight of in selecting a Sewing Machine. Fir3t: Be not misled by long and extravagant puffs in the papers about Machines which are frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only parrot-like repeat the puff. 2nd: Be ware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because it happens to be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to pny dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from his intimate knowledge of Sewing Mechanism, can confidently recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing Machine as a really good, genuine, and well tested Machine. In addition to the Lock-stiten Machine, the Taylor Co. have introduced a good Twisted Loop Machine. Price, with extras, 2 Guineas.—lnspection invited at the Sole Agent s, T.

JOHN SMITH, DRAPER, KB" Weong Side of the Street, "®9 NextfUnited Service Hotel, Queen-street. "OARNELL BOROUGH GAZETTE. THE QUESTION IS OFTEN ASKED HOW F. TOMLINSON, DRAPER. PARNELL, "SELLS SO CHEAP T Ist. Because having had 17 years' experience in the Drapery Business, he has a very good idea of the Value of Goods. 2nd. Because he has no heavy City Rates, Water Rates, &c, to pay, but is under a very nominal rent. 3rd. Because he is always able to meet his bills before they are due (taking the discount), and is, therefore, in a position to Purchase Goods on the same terms as the Lar,«--»t E-Üblishments in Auck land. Having an Unusually Large and Well Assorted Stock, I am giving Extra Value for Money, as the STOCK MUST BE REDUCED, previous to making necessary alterations for the SPRING TRADE. F. TOMLINSON Deapee, Paenull mO THE PUBLIC OF AUCKLAND. There is much being made lust now by some persons in the Clothing Trade aboat supporting Local Industby, but SAMUEL COOMBES Challenges ant House in the Trade to Shew that they Employ as Much Local Labour as he docs (that is Auckland Labour), and Money spent elsewhere than In Auckland might almost as well be spent in London, as far as we in Auckland are concerned. Samuel Ooombes MAKES THE BULK OF THE CLOTHING HK SELLS! In fact, the Bulk of the CLOTHING SOLD at the CITY CLOTHING MART is Manufactured on the Premises 1 The only important exception being Geelong Tweed, or Australian Twked Goods, which are manufactured in Melbourne, and as SAMUEL COOMES Has made Large Contracts in Melbourne for those Goods, enabling him to sell them Much Under Wholesale Ppioes ! 11 The 27s 6d and 30s being fully 20 per cent, under what a much inferior article would cost in any Wholesale House. O" One Trial will suffice to prove this fact. In the TAILORING DEPARTMENT, SAMUEL COOMBES Has Completed, since the 29th of May, 15^ 4726 Measurements! These Figures speak for themselves. JUST OPENED: 200 GALATEA JACKETS, 10/6. A Large Line WEST OF ENGLAND TROUSERS, 10/6; worth 15/6. Also, SEVERAL CASES WATERPROOF CLOTHING, which will be Sold Cheap.
