To-day Sir Wii. Fox gave notice to move that the Education Act bo amended Tns to permit the reading of the Bible in tiblio schools, subject to the time-table aud conscience clause. Mr READEii \\ OOD gave notice to move a resolution ou going into Committee of Jsiinnlv re retrenchment on the estimates. MrGFOROB asks whether persons holdioc ,Jres in the Shipping Company should Sow them and pay the property tax. Also w ask whether any I'abilitiM liayc bsou in riirrcd tor separate Insurance oihees. GOLDFIELDS REPORT. Mr Fisher brought up the report of the rnldfields Committee. It stated that Sratadlaadl««dongoldlUld,.hould Is subject to conditions oE deferred pay '"■ The Native Affairs Committee recommend compensation to the natives whose fisheries «f Hip Middle Island have been drained. ° The Government laid on the table Mr Conyers' letter in reply to the Civil Service the return of expenditure on Road Fourteen days leave of absence have been emitted to Mr Whytc. THE NEW GOLDFIELD. In reply to Mr (Jisborno, Mr OLIVER said he could not hold out any encouragement to miners to go to the new field between Paiengaira aud Haast, on the West Coast of the Middle Island. The cun.cry was difficult, provisions dear, aud the gold small. The local authorities dissuade miners from coming. HANSARD. In reply to Mr Fulton, The Phemiek said the Government would slate their views re Hansard when that branch of the estimates Is under considera tion This is one of the subjects to be cou sideicd at tho Ministerial caucus to-day. GOLD AT TE AROIIA. Replying to Sir George Grey, Mr OHvKR said that he had communi cated with the local authorities relative to the discovery of alluvial gold at Te Aroha by Colonel Chesney, R.E., as mentioned by Mr Commissioner Mackay in his report on the Thames goldficld, published in the journals of the House for 1869, but a reply had not yet been received. LAND ON DEFERRED PAYMENTS. Mr Rollesto* said the Government would do their best, in accordance with the law, to prevent forfeiture of land held by settlers whoso instalments were in arrear. The Government was fully sensible of the undesirability of driving off deferred pay ment settlers. Mr J. B, Fisher explained that his not being present at tho division last night was in consequence of his belief that the debate would be prolonged three or four days. Had he been present he would have voted with the Opposition, THE IMAGINARY SWAMP. Mr HtMLIN made a statement of tho re sult of his visit to tho Waimate Plains. He said contradictory statements had been made as to what he had found in conneclion with the road-making on tho Waimate Plains. He was therefore about to make an explanation as to what he had seen with respect to that road. On Thursday, 24th June, lie arrived at|3toney River, and follow ing the road two miles along the beach road, and then turning at right angles, he found himself on a road two chains wide, and cleared of flax a distance of two miles. There woro several streams ou the road not bridged over, although embankment, were made, which rendered tho road he thought impassable for drays, though it could be used by horsemen. Apparently the Government had found the construction of a two-cbaiu road too slow and expensive, and they had continued it as a track, which was between twenty aud thirty feet wide, going towards Parihaka. From the second camp up to the present camp the road was perfectly traversable for dray-0, bnt the other part was not so traversable, because the bridges were not completed. He hopod the House would see that he had no intention whatever of getting debate able matter introduced by a kind of side wind. Mr Bryce said that what tho lion, gentleman stated was perfectly correct, and it was quite in accordauce with what he had stated to the House the other day. He had, however, driven from Parihaka to New Plymouth, a distance of 30 miles, along the road in fourand-a-quarter hours, and the only instance in which thoy had to leave the road was a place, whore the culvert had not been completed. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. The Council was again occupied yesterday the greater part of its sitting on Naive Bills, which were advanced to third" read ing without material amendments. The Thames Water Supply Transfer Bill was read a second time. PROPERTY TAX FORMS. Mr hUTCMiNSON asked whether the Go vernment will consider the desirability of printing a note on tho new forms proposed to be issued for the collection of the property tax, to the effect that persons need not state the amount of their debts, whether secured by mortgaca or otherwise, nnlers they wish to have a deduction of these made from the property. Major Atkinson said that under the law nobody need make the return unless he liked. The Government would consider the matter of the " note." THE LICENSING BILL. The Honse settled down to business again yesterday afternoon, and made considerable progress with the Licensing Bill, on which (Sir W. Fax raised an interesting discussion, condemning the exemption on Bellamy's from payment of license fee. In the Clause relating to Clubs Sir W. Fox raised a dis cussion by declaring thai persons unable to obtain licenses established Clubs, which were worse conducted than public-houses. Mr DICK inserted a new definition of " Clubs," that the word should mean persons combining for social enjoyment or domestic comfort, not deriving any gain or profit beyond the wages paid to servants.

Mk GISBOENE considered it a moot poim whether clubs were for domestic com fort.

SrR'YV. Fox said domestic comfort meant at a man's own fireside. There was no such comfort at clubs, He wanted to add a further condition, that members should contribute one pound annually and share expenses. Mb Swansok said that in swell clubs offi cers of tho array and ships of war were made visiting members. Why not allow th« Working Men's Clubs to invite the crews ? Let them start fair. There was as much abuse in aristocracy clubs as in small ones.

Ultimately the clause was postponed. There was a long discussion on the defi nition of defining districts. Sib W. Fox and Me Speight wanted them as small as possible, limiting them in some districts to load boards.

Mr London instanced the absurdity of dividing a small county like Eden into such little licensing districts. Koad boards and ridings were agreed to as the districts.

The House resumed in Committee on the Licensing Bill. The clause defining clubs passed with Mr Dicks' amendment that clubs, are not to consist of less than twenty members, and no profits to be divisible. SIX W. Fox made a strong temperance speech, He was not surprised at the unemployed in Wellington when twenty nine public houses opened their jaws to swallow up working men's earnings. Mr Mooriiou.sk felt sore about the frequent use of the phrase "intoxicating liquors" in the bill, and moved the sub stitution of the words " fermented and ■spirituous liquors." Mr Spbiqiit could not understand Mr Moorhouse's objection to the word "in toxicating." lie thought consumers would have a greater objection if liquor was not intoxicating, "intoxicating" was struck out.

Mr Pitt wanted to put in "alcoholic," out it was explained that as the interpreta tion clause defined the word liquor to mean intoxicating it was unnecessary. There was a long discussion on the ques tion of bottle licenses. This clause wae postponed till Wednesday. Sir Wy Fox opposed special licenses at railway stations. They should bo subject to the will of the people. Did they sup ply hquors at these stations to engine drivers and engineer* to wreck the- trains, or for men who were sober at home t'6 get drank at the stations, as well as upon pocket pistols'' carried in their pockets ? n.o objected to travellers bciug the victims or. v, drunken stoker. . Mm. RiciUKosoN thought there was bo danger in, railway station bars if properly managed. To dispense with them would render railway, travelling on lone; journeys n»co*lortable nud unpopular. ■ , Mc»9te tit-KKC and SwANSOK strongly <lopro<%<? feu proposal of the teetotallers in the ■tiouHeto-ptcent. the brec.rn-s and vjhoteiale wine and siilfti wartftSttite being aulereatedia hotels.

Mv Almfeaonstmviliii* compelled the publican to buy from one person.

MR Hurst said one most respectable iirm iv Auckland had invested thirty or forty thousand pounds in a new brewery m SpEIGUT said ouo brewer at the the Thames .brought pressure to bear through the Borough Council and exercised an enormous influence.

The PitKMiKR retorted, as this brewer exercised such paramount influence he must have done «o in the elections, and therefore Mr Speight represented him. Mr Speight : " You're out there " Sin W. Fox referred to the case' where .he brewer compelled tho publican to receive and sell bad beer, and keep a barmaid named "Piuafore," who went to bed every night with a bottle of brandy. Mr Stevbns urged the insertion of a clause carrying out the recommendation of the Local Industries Committee permitting a bottle license in the case of colonial wine.

Mr Dick said it would open the door to an indiscriminate selling of imported wine a3 well as colonial.

Mr G. Jones, jun,, who aspires to be the Joe Grimaldi of tbe House, gave his experi ence of colonial wine. It appeared to be a mixture of human perspiration and sacchariuo matter, which could only be taken as mediciue. He wouldn't give it to his enemies, and had seen quantities unsold at auction in Auckland, because nobody would buy it at any price. Me Swanson said pltnty of excellent wine was made in Auckland.

Mil Bowen had seen a kind of cordial extensively used by tho Good Templars ot Christchurch, •which, when analysed, proved to contain more alcohol than sherry.

Mr Murray thought many parts of Auckland might be made a second Rhine land.

Mr Jones icmarked en passantjthat if the wine mentioned by Mr Bowen was alcoholic it mignt also be said to be " alco-colic."

The Clause was under discussion when progress was reported.

GOVERNMENT CAUCUS. A Government caucus took placo at cloven this morniug. Messrs Wood, Hurst, Swan son, nnd Colbeck resolved not to attend, iv order to bo free.

Latest Parliamentary.

WELLINGTON, this afternoon, MINISTERIAL CAUCUS.

Tho caucus of Ministerial supporters held this morning in the Parliamentary Buildings lasted from 11 o'clock till 10 miautes past one. All the paity who voted in tho late division were represented, except Messrs Wood, Hurst, Swanson, and Colbeck. Tho Premier and Treasurer staled that, finding there was a strong desire on all sides ot the House, especially from some of their most promi nent supporters, that larger reductions should bo effected in the departmental estimato3, the meeting had been called to recoive their views with the object of arriving at sonic basis of action and laying down a principle of 'retrenchment which would reconcile tho ideas of the party. A long discussion then ensued, members freely expressing a desire that very consider able reductions should be effected under all the heads of the estimates, aud proposing various methods of effecting the result. The meeting ended in no definite plan being arrived at, and was adjourned till Monday at the same hour, the Ministers promising in the meantime to examine the estimates aud submit the moat possible amount cnpablo of reduction, and they will also invite their supporters to come to a common understanding as to the principle upon which the roduc tions shall be effected. Mr Ormond was present. The Government will probably propose reductions to tho amount of £150,000, but it is doubtful whether that will be suili cient to satisfy the majority of the House.

POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.) THE BACCHANALIAN MARCII. Henry Mauusell, George McGuffy, B. Sarsfiold, Robert Lcary, Charles Elliot, Alfred Quirk and John Hill were inarched into the prisoners' box, and fined 5s each for drunkenness. REFUSING TOLL. John Heening (on summons), was charged with a breach of the Public Works' Act, in refusing to pay a toll of sixpence at New market gate when told of tho demand. Defendant paid the dues and the case was withdrawn. THE BIGAMY CASE. Edward Lawlor, alias Lawrence, butcher, of Wakefield-street, again appeared in answer to two charges. First, with intending to desert his wife (Anne Lawlor), and second, with bigamy. Sub-Inspector Pardy asked*permission to take the bigamy charge fir-4. Mr Tyler appeared for defendant. Detective Jeffery was first called and ■ de posed as follows :—On Wednesday, June 30th, I went with Constable Strathern to arrest the prisoner on another charge, viz , the intended desertion of his wifo (Anne Lawlor). Read the warrant to him. He eaid, "I did not think she would do that. I did not intend to desert her. Have offered her (first wife) £2 a week ; she wanted more and I can't afford more." I then brought him to tho police sation, where Anne Lawlor was waiting. She is now in Court. A conversation was held between prisoner and Anne Lawlor. Heard him s»y, "I don't intend going away." She replied, " You did ; I know it from what you said yourself. You mean to go in the mail-boat to San Francisco—you have made arrange ments to gol" He said, "I'm not going to do anything of tho kind ; but I can't give you what you want." She produced three letters of his in proof of the manner in which he bad been deceiving her. (Produced.) She had received them in Melbourne.

[Letters A, B, C, and D wero put in evi dence ; also a certificate of the marriage of Edward Lawlor and Aune Daly, performed at Redrutb, Australia, on the 9th Decem ber, 1866.] Witness continued : Prisoner said he had never seen the document before. Anno Lawlor said "No,I got it from the Itcglatrur- General before I left Melbourne." Prisoner looked at the certificate, and said, " That's right enough; we were married as stated here," looking at the paper.and adding ''the two O'Learys were witnesses ; one of them was a fellow butcher." Anne Lawlor was present all the time. He said, "Before leaving Australia I made over a considerable amount of property to my wife. She is not without means. I have known prisoner for three or four years, ever since he has been in Auckland, by the name of Edward Lawrence. Arrested him in the name of Lawlor. He made no objection. To Mr Tyler : Prisoner said he had sent his wife various suma of money since he had been in Auckland. On one occasion £40. Don't remember his saying that he had sent her nearly £400. Did not give apy reason for leaving Anne Lawlor in Australia. He safd she had a bad temper, and had done this through spite. Sub-Inspector Pardy said he would next produce proof of the second marriage with Jennet Grogan, otherwise McLeod, and sent for Mr Wayland, but who could not attend immediately, as he had two marriages in hand.

Mr Tyler: I hope they won't turn out as in.the present cose. His Worship : Wo will wait a few minutes, as Mr Wayland's performances are brief.

Sub-Inspector Pardy: Tbe knot is soon tied, but years are required frequently to untio it.

John M. Wayland, Registrar of Mar riages, produced the marriage notice book, showing that Jennet Grogan, otherwise McLeod, made the necessary declaration of her intended marriage with Edward Law rence on the Bth June, 1877. John O'Dwyer, priest in Holy Orders, officiating at St. Patrick's Cathedral, pro duced a record of the marriage, performed by him, between Edward Lawrence and Jennet Grogan, in accordance with the Act. He could not identify the parties. The certificate received from the Registrar has been destroyed. Jennet Grogan, otherwise McLeod, do posed :On the Bth June, 1877,1 made a de claration in the Registrar's notice book. That is my signature. On the 11th of June, the same month, I was married to Edward Lawrence, the prisoner in the box. Were married by Father O'Dwyer, the-lust witness.

Emma Barret, single woman,dnposed : I know the prisoner, also the last witness. Was present at their marriage .at St. Patrick's in June, 1877. Was one of the witnesses to the marriage. This waa the evidence for the prosecution. Mr Tyler said it would be useless to urge anything, in defence, as the case had assumed such an aspect that his Worship was compelled •to commit. He would; however, n;ik that defendant might be per mitted baiL

Sub&lnapeotor Pftrdy .';aid be would ask to withdraw the charge of intending de settion.

Mr Tyler askod respecting bail.aa he was desirous of leaving before the reading of tiio dejwsrtions. ThedeposHiouß were then rend ovei, and the prisonor, wlio reserved bts defence, \va>» fatly committed for trial at the Supreme Court, bm admitted to bail, himself ia £200, ami two siiretleu in .-6100 each.,

SUDDEN DEATH.—INQUEST ON THE BODY.

SAMUEL Taylor, an old pensioner, well known to the police, was found dead yes terday in a house in Victoria-quadraut, near the old Wesleyan chapel, at the foot of Barrack Hill. The old man of late years was much addicted to dunning, and was frequently convicted for the offeuce. He was about 68 years of age. THK INQUEST. An inquest on the body of deceased was held this afternoon at the Auckland Hotel, before Dr. Philson, district coroner, and a jury, when the following few facts were adduced in evidence :— Mr George Wilson was chosen foreman. Serjeant Gamble conducted ou the part of the police, John Jpaniels, laborer, deposed that he lodged with the deceased, Isaac not Samuel Taylor, at the house of Mts Mary O'Hauo ran, Victoria Cresenr. Had known Taylor for several years ; he had been in the 55th Regiment of the line, and was in receipt of a pension. Heard that he was formerly a carpenter. Last saw Taylor on Thursday evening, to the best of his know ledge. Witness had been at work on the wharf, and on returning about G o'clock he went into the kitchen to get a light, when he saw Taylor lying on the floor, with head and shoulders resting against the wall. Ho shook him and said " Come, Taylor rouse up." Felt that he was cold. His arra3 and legs were still' and stretched out. Could not say that Taylor had been drink ing. There was a small bottle on a table by the side of deceased, but it was empty. Taylor received his pension yesterday, but could not .say what amount ho received. Being satisfied that . the man was dead, lie sent for Mrs O'Hanorau, who came within half-an-hour. (The bottle was produced, and smelt strongly of rum.) Witness was perfectly sober. Coustable Rist shortly arrived, and took charge of the body. After taking the names of witnesses, saw him cxamiue tho body and pockets of deceased.

To the Foreman : Taylor was a man of intemperate habits.) Bridget Gardner, wife of Charles Gardner, living in Victoria Quadrant, said Taylor came up to the window in the afternooD, and gare her child a penny. He appeared sober, but might have had a drop or two. He went away immediately, and she saw him alive no more. A little after six, Mr O'Hauoran's boy came ruuuing in crying for his mother, as Taylor was lying on tho floor dead. Witness immediately went and fouud Taylor dead, as the child had stated. She went to the police at once and reported to Constable Rist, and he returned with her.

Win. Laverty, labourer, deposed to see ing deceased at ono o'clock yesterday. He was then tho worse for drink.

Dr. Thomas Aicken, of Hobson-strcet, proceeded to make a post-mortem examina iiation of the body, but had not concluded when we went to pross. From the general tone of the evidence, tho verdict is likely to be "Death from natural causes, accelerated by intemperance." ...

OPENING OF THE RAILWAY TO TE AWAMUTU.

(FROM OUR OWN CO-RESPONDENT.)

If the clerk of the weather wishes to meet with hospitable treatment let him come to Tc Awauiutu. During the ceremony of the opening of the line, and during the arrival of tho lint (rain, the weather was cer tainly all that could bo desired. Punctu ally at half-past one the cngiue, which was moat tastefully decorated with evergreens, appeared in sight, and came pulling and snorting into our Te Awamutu station. We felt at once no longer isolated. The train contained visitors both from Hamilton and Auckland. Tho band of the regiment struck up, " Sec the Couquering Hero Comes." Tho crowd garo cheer upon cheer, and the new arrivals descended from the carriages. They were receired by Mr Cunningham, the Chairman of Committee, and by other members deputed for that purpose, and conducted to the goods shed, where lunch was awaiting thoao who chose to partake of it. Then there was also held the Root Show and exhibition of dairy produce. The exhibits were really good, md it should be borne in mind that the exhibitors had received but very short notice of the intended show. Among the successful competitors were: Mr Gibson, first prize for Swede turnips ; Mr T. Hunt, second. Mr ISurke, first prize for carrots ; Mr North second. Mr Weal, first prize for turnips ;Mr Parsons, second. The wiuuer of Mr Clark's Silver Cup for general selec tion of turnips was Mr T. Hunt, while Mr Parsons tock second prize. Mr Frazer with his bagpipes was also present, and discoursed sweet music to ears that were Scotch. The Dinner Took place at half-pait live, at Lewis' Central Waikato Hotel. It was served in a style that does him great credit. About sixty were present, Major Jackson in the Chair, and Mr Cunningham in the Vice chair. The Chairman was supported on his right with Mr Stewart, and on the left with Mr Fallon, who, with Mr A. V. Macdonald, were the guests of the evening. Among those present we noticed -.—Messrs. Me- Mian, huugerford.Koche, Storey, A. Bruce, K. Bisanko, Forster, Ballin, W. Hoggin son, Anderson, Gresham, Teasdnle, Hope, Wilkinson, Winstone, Sloane, Walton, J. K. Roche, S. Westney, Wainwrighi, Itutherford, Bridgmau, McKinder, &c. The following toasts were given: "Her Majesty the Queen, and His Excellency the Governor," by the chairman; "The Ministry," by Mr Winstono, responded to by Major Jackson ; " Our Moraber, Mr F. A. Whitaker," proposed by Captalu Ruther ford, and responded to by Mr McMiuu ; "Tho Army and Navy and Volunteers," proposed by the vice-chairman, Mr Cun ningham, and responded to by Major Jack son ; Messrs Stewart, Macdonald, and Fallun were proposed in succession by Maj«r Jackaon, and responded to by those gentlemen| "The Visitors," proposed by Mr Wainwright, coupling it with the name of Mr Clark, who had given a magnificent prize in the shape of a silver enp for the turnip produced from seed supplied by that gentleman. Mr Clark responded. Mr Stewart proposed "The Agricultural and Commercial In terests ;" Mr Hungerford Roche responded for agriculture, and Mr Wiustone for com merce. Mr McMinn gave as a special toast " The Prosperity of Te Awamutu." Mr Sloane gave •' The Judges of the Show," which was responded to by Major Jackson. Mr Smith proposed " Tho Ladies," and Mr McMinn gallantly acknowledged the com pliment on behalf of the absent fair. Tho "Press" having been proposed and responded to, Mr Gresham gave the health of the Chairman, which was drunk with enthusiasm and duly acknowledged. Mr McMinn then thanked the Band and Baud master Siblcy for the gratuitous sorviccs that they had rendered during tho day. A concert and dance at the Public Hall con cluded the festivities. The most remarkable feature of the concert was a grand recitation of " Genevra" by Mr Sydney Smith.—OWN COKBESPONDKNT.

An Aucklander On His Travels.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

On Board The Zealandia. After -waiting two hoars for the ship's papers the vessel left Auckland on her voyage to San Francisco with about ninety saloon passengers, so that the saloon is rather full. Many of the New Zealand passengers have come from the South Island, consequently we are safe for many controversies as to the relative qualities of the North v. the South. Many of the passengers have been very sick, particularly Mr T. Bi Hill and his wife, but are now happily recovered. This vessel rolls so badly in a beam sea that everyone, even old sailors, feel qualmish. There are on board from Sydney two Belgium and one French Commissioner from the Exhibition, and I am endeavouring to get all the information I can from them as to trade prospects, &c. One of the Belgians, M. Lodwidge, is the repre sentative of eight large founderies, of Liege and Charleroi, and he is greatly impressed with an idea that an immense trade can be done between New Zealand and Antwerp in wool and other raw products, and they can supply a return cargo of manufactured goods and ironwork, such as nails, hoop iron, &c. ; which he says they can supply at a great deal less cost than any of the English manufactures. I am giving him introductions to the EVENING STAR, and feel sure he will be shown every courtesy, and will gain all the particulars he requires. I lent the Commissioners lirelt's Almanac, which publication has pleased them very much. They com plain of the want of a really descriptive work of New Zealand, but say that the almanac fulfils all that is necessary for Auckland province. Another of the Bel pians is the representative of the sugar refineries, and he admits that the sugar refineries of Melbourne and Sydney are up to ths mark in every respect, but that the crushing is very primitive. I may mention they only go home now to make their re ports, and will be out at Melbourne this year to the Victorian Exhibition. The I'renchmin is a capita} man ? well up in

wool .and other products of the colonies, and is oE course impressed with the superior advantages of Havre as n port; for direct communication with the colonies. But the French Commissioner doea not speak so contidently of France cutting Eng-' land out of the market aa does the Belgians. No doubt a very great deal of good will result from the number of foreigners who are visiting Melbourne, many of whom will make a trip to Now Zealand before returning. Honolulu. We arrived in Honolulu at 5.30 a.m. on Monday, the 10th of May, and what struck us at ouce was the business activity of the place. This haa been caused by the reci procity treaty with the United States, which, to uae au American expression, is "sending the place right up." Sugar plan tations are sprinuiug into existence all over the Group, and the amount of sugar exported to 'Frisco is enormous. This ship took in during our stay of twelve hour 3 700 ton», and large quantities are scut regularly by sailing vessels. The export this year is little short of 20,000 tons, and next year it is estimated to reach 30,000 tons, so great has been the growth in number and size of the plantations. A •gentleman named Claus Spreckelg, of San Francisco, is the greatest and nearly the only operator in the purchase of Honolulu sugars. In fact he controls the markets. He is pretty well liked, and has spent very large sums of money in irrigating his plantations—the only plan he could adopt with the land lie had leased. He has introduced Chinese to a largo extent, and witti so much success that Chinese labour doe 3 nearly the whole work of the plantations. So great has been the iullux of Chinese, that from 1,500 in 1876 there is now a population of nearly 12,000 in the group ,of Hawaiian Islands, and by their industry and cheap living they aro gradually closing all the avenues of labour to tho native and Euro pean. They either buy or lease every bit of land fit for agriculture they can get hold of. All the vegetables and nearly all the fruit produced is grown by them. On tho awampy lands that were really de»olate marshes they aro growing rice, and they give quite a high pricu to lease tbia descrip tion of land. For one piece belonging to the dowager Queen Emma, of one thou sand acres, near Honolulu, they pay a rental of 500dols per annum. Tho natives do not liko the Chinese at all, and many of the white population view tho inllux with dismay, but what is to be done ? The natives will uot work, and even in all the tirades written agaitut the Chinese the admission is Dado ihat the race possess the virtues of industry and perseverance.

Tho King is having an extensive new palace built, which is to cost a heap of money ; aud while I am on houses i may say 1 was very pleased to sco the very hand some wooden residences there are in Hono lulu. Aucklaud has nothing to compare with them for elegauce, finish, or anything else, and her architects would do well just to take a lesson from tho1 residences here.

By these figures you will see that Hono lulu is bocomins- a place of very great im portance. Thoro are in Honolulu 14,000 inhabitants, and tho piece has an appear ance of far greater business activity than Auckland. Freehold property is booming. Land that could be got a few years ago at lOdols. per acre is now bringing from lOOdols to 150dols. City property is in creasing in a similiar manner. About 12 months ago a corner piece, fronting the main street 90 feet, brought 10,000 dols. They pay a sub'idy of lOOOdols per month to the Pacific Mail Company for calling, and are making arrangements for. more steamers of 1,500 tons to run between San Francisco and Honolulu alternately with the Pacific Mail Company's steamers. Then they have steamers trading to the different islands of the group, one of which I saw in the harbour. It is a very fino vessel, larger, and much more handsomely fitted up than the lona.So that altogether they are on the high road to prosperity. Thero arc several natives and balf-castes on board as passengers, and they are all exceedingly interested with the Auckland Almanac, particularly in what there is relating to the natives. They find many of the sayings and legends so like their own that they without hesitation claim kindred. Had I brought a; few spare copies of the work I could have driven a roaring business. I have promised Mr Carter, to whom I am indebted for much information, that I will ask you to send him a copy of Brett's Almanac for this year, and one for 1879, and he will have it translated for the benefit of the natives. He promises to return the compliment by sending ex changes and any information you may wish. SAN FRANCISCO The Zealandia arrived in San Francisco on the 18th of May, and the passengers scattered themselves through the different hotels in the city, by far tho greater num ber going to the Palace, but they are sorry for it,as the attendance there is slack. At the Baldwin, where I am, nothing remains to be desired as far as attendance and com fort is concerned. . The city is very gay, but the people are the most quiet and orderly I have seen for a long time. I have been here 12 days, and have not seen a man drunk in the streets. At the theatres the people i are exceedingly well behaved. You do not heai a single ecreech or whistle from the gods, nor do you see the men guilty of that pernicious habit of running out for a liquor every time the curtain drops. The women are all elegantly dressed. Where they get the money is a mystery, but nine out of every ten of them paint, and look very blue over it. You can travel very cheaply here by tramcar, but if you take a cab I pity you, or rather your pocket. For the steep streets they have cable roads —that is tramway cars worked by a wire

cable. Of course the streets on which they arc are straight, but some of the inclines aro tremendous. There are four or five of these lines —Clay-street, California, Sutter, and Geary. The last named ex tends several miles to near the Golden Gate Park, and you are carried up hill and-down dale by the wire rope in a moat astonishing manner. The engine that drives the rope is situated about half way along the track ; the rope runs under the roadway, and is made to act on the cars by means of a grip ia the dunning car, which works in a slot oil along the street, and is controlled quite easily by the eguiucer. If they wish to stop going down hill they brake on the rail, and not on the wheel, as is customary with other vehicles. Some of tho gradients arc ruuchjgreatcr than Shortlaud or Wyndham street*.

I paid a visit to the Underwriters' fire patrol to see the "hitchup" at noon. This association is supported by the Insurance Companies, and they go to a lire to save all the property possible. They don't use water—but tarpaulins and extinguishers, which they use to protect property. They have everything so well arranged, that, as soon as an alarm passes over the wires they get it first hand, and on the gong sounding, the horses, which always stand ready harnessed, fiy into their places. The gas is alight all over the building, all the doors being connected, fly open, and altogether it gives you quite a start for about a couple of seconds to see everything opening as if by magic—men coming down a slide four at a time, and the horses flying to their places. There is a patent hose here, which I think would be very useful to you. It is arranged with a stopcock on the nozzle, so that a man may mount one or two flights of stairs and only turn on the water when hn comes to the fire. This saves goods in many instances, be cause he has full power over the water, and docs not turn it on until he requires it, People make pretty froo use of the pistol. Young Kallock, the Mayor's son, shot Charles do Young, the proprietor of the " Chronicle," about a month ago, and he is on trial. Uf course he will bo hung. His father ia to bo impeached. Everyono is heartily sick of Kallock, Kearney, and all that crowd, and the working men aie beginning to see that their new constitution will he a rod to heat their own backs, as many of the most communistic features of it aro being tried by the Supreme Court, which has pronounced against them. This will leave the con stitution harmless, as far as the rich men are concorned, but will tell against the agitators themselves. Kearney was lodged iv gaol, and people would not be sorry if tho Rev.—save tho mark—Kalloch wont to keep him company. Many of the banking houßes and brokers aro migrating East, and New York will soon be the mining centre, but I doubt if ever it will be such a market as this, where every servant girl even had an interest in some mine. The Current Excitement. There was a dreadful railroad accident on Sunday, the 23rd. An excursion train ran off the track between Santa Cruz and Folton. The papera aro full of accounts of how the flat cars jumped the track and hurled their loads into eternity. There are 14 killed nud 38 severely injured. Great negligence appeais to have been shown by tue engineer, and ho is now under arrest. The papers contain very little news except about the coming election for President— The Grant boom and the Blame boom- How the political bosses are fixing up the details, &c.; and so great is the strife that many quiet-going Americans envy us ia the colonies, where the coming and going of our Governors is done so quietly. Many of the very rich people of America are disgustingly rich, but they sigh for some emblem of superiority over their fellow, and there is not wautiug an clement that would hail with gladness an Emperor of America with tbc accompanying nobility. No one can tell what 20 years may bring forth. One tiling is certain—they pay great defer ence to the rank of other countries when they favour America with a visit. Prince Leopold arrived in Montreal on Monday, the 24th May, but it is cunently reported that his mamma has given »rdera he shall not visit San Francisco because of tho Kallock-DcYoung shooting business. The Eubctbic Light. Tho electric light appears to have ieen a nine days wonder here. I saw it alight several times at tho Palace, but it was very unsatisfactory. There are a groat number of lamps in the city at different large build ings, but all in disuse, emblems of a big follv,and gas shareß aro the firmest stock ou thomarkct with the exception of water. To conclude this letter, I may say again that travelling by tram-car—five cen;s. the whole distance of the lines, say three or four and sometimes live miles—is the cheapest commodity of the place. Ladies' dress, as it appears marked up ia the Bhop windows, is very expensive indeed; aud yet all the ladies are magnificently dressed, and spare neither money nor care to appear what they consider stylish. At the hotel tho ladies como in to all meals, but especi ally to dinner, drecsed in quite reception 6tyle, satins, velvets, and diamonds being no unusual wear. Then hair is quite a study, and I am sure the hair-dressers must have a very profitable business, as smooth hair ia a thing unknown. The/ havo puffs coveriug the top of the head, and braids nnd frizzles and combs and pins.but such a thing asasedatecap.ovenou an old lady with a grey head, is never seen. To keep up all this display there must he much money required, and it is to be presumed that the husbands take great pleasure in making it, and after wards handing it over to their wives to spend.
