Crawford (London, Trubner and Co.,18S0) is a splendid record of enterprise, courage, and endurance. Ihe writer's acquaintance with New Zealand began in 1840, and his book is admirably -Tinted and illustrated, but suffers from want of arrangement. When Mr Crawford first landed in New Zealand from a sailing vessel at tho Southern part of the North Island the natives wore in complete control of tbe interior. Any attempt to explore without the consent ot the owneni was likely to be unpleasant to the traveller. Mr Crawford considers the North Island too relaxing' in climate to be as healthy for Englishmen as the colder and more stormy Smith Island. He protests against the too rapid clearing of the forests. Want of care in this matter has been attended with such scr'ois results in Australia, America, and India Mr Crawford is very sanguine as to the iuture of your magnificent islands. His view of the public Avorks policy is that enormous good has been done; and h e predicts that ere long New Zealand will out strip any single Australian colony in pros perity. MAJOR HENRY W. WILY.

Mr A. H. Nathan occupied the chain-, awl briefly explained the object of the meeting, and adled upon Mr Khrenfried to explaifthe position of the trade, Avhich he did at *nne length.

The political journalistic world is iv a state of more or less suppressed excitement at the change of colours 10 the "Pall Mall Gazette." The proprietor of this journal wag Mr George Smith, of Smith, Elder, and Co.; the editor, Mr Greenwood, a man of remarkable independence of mind. For some years, however, the editor ha. shown almost personal rancour towards Mr Glad stone, and aident admiration for Lord Eeaconsfield's foreign policy. A short time ago Mr G. Smith's only daughter was mar-, ried to Mr Henry Yates Thompson, a well knoAvn politician of the Manchester Liberal pattern, and Mr Smith has lately sold the paper to him. Naturally ho wished to re present his own vieAvs, and Mr Greenwood found it necessary to resign, as he could not accept those vie*v_ ; several of the stall resign with him. Under the auspices of Mr Greenwood and his old colleagues a new journal, nominally of independent princi ples, but probably anti-Gladstonian, will appear shortly under the titlo of "St. James's Gazette."

THE MORMON ELDERS IN AUCK LAND.

The "Salt Lake Tribune" of .May ,23rd re-pablisbes, with running comments, Elder Sorrensou's letter to the STAR in reply to its former strictures. Replying to the state ment that tbe existence of such a paper is the best proof of liberty the "Tribune Ba ys :—This has "an ancient and fish-like sm"ll." It is tho same innocent assertiou which Smoothbore Cannon always hastens to rid himself of when bein"? interviewed. Itamounts to simply an admission that jtlie days of Daniteism and Mormon thugs are over; that no new Mountain Meadows Massacre need be expected. To tbe Elders denunciation, of the character of tbe "Tribune," tbe editor reports: "These Elders will prate by the hour m the Tabernacle on obscene topics, and, as was the case at the last conference, let loose such'a flood of filth that, as was actually the case, the new Governor of Utah arose and left, and for the first time in his life apologised to his wife for taking her to a Dlace°not decent. Apostle Snow was the fountain of the filthy stream. Yet when on a mission these scums become disettanti, and are sbocked if called by their right names. ' The organ of prostitutes. It rc ioices us to know that Brother Sorrenson recognises us as the true organ of the church; but why not say 'harems, old boy •> What was the paper when you wrote tor us occasionally?" The writer then quotes from "The Desert News," the Staints' paper, of October last a whisky ad vertisemeht to disprove that whisky ad vertisements never appear in that paper, and says :—" Sorrenson continues : 'As tor Zion's Co-operative Institution, I have a photograph (which any one is at liberty to come and see) which shows that the man writes falsely, as the lettering on the sign is plain; and their is no liquor, either whole sale or retail there." Ho you happen to have a photograph, Bro. Sorrenson, of that branch of the Co-op. just south of Jennings store!—not the " hig" Co-op., but the Co-op. whose advertisement appears above. If you have, show it to the people of Auck land " The sign is plain;" it is as follows : " Z C M, I. Drugs and Medicines. Under this is the sign : " Wholesale Liquor Dealers." Under this : "Z. C. M. I. Drag Department." Since the article from which the Auckland papers take extracts, was written, the " Drug Department has moved a door south, and their signs have been changed. At present the " allseemg eve," and "Holiness to the Lord" have not appeared over the door of tho new quar ters. The sneaking attempt of Sorrenson to evade the charge by exhibiting a photo graph of the main Co-op. is of a piece with his Jesuitism." The « Tribune " proceeds to attack tbe Elder with greatfierceness, taking the statements in his letterconsecutively and reolvine to them, and it concludes by a declaration that the Mormom missionary "should be driven from the community whose women he is seeking to seduce to this country to add to the harems of hoary beaded and foul polygamists.

Advertising. —Three tenders were re ceived for printing and advertising, and were referred to*a committee

A Little Breeze.—Councillor McGar rigle, in accordance with motion, asked, why Councillor Vialou had prevented the Foreman of "Works from taking up the piping laid down by the Hoard through his premises in the face" of his promise to do so. —Councillor Vialou said in the first place the value was in excess of that put down, he deuied having prevented the removal of the .pipes; he had allowed them to be token up as far as the point agreed upon. There was au erroneous im pression abroad that this matter of Vialou's pathway had been a loss to the Borough, whereas in fact it had proved a gain to the Borough.—Cr. Price said that instead of 120 feet of piping being obtained, only 60 feet had been pot.—At this stapc a paper was read signed by Cr. Vialou, and pro mising to allow tho pipes as far as a certain gully to be taken oil.—Cr. Davis was in clined to believe that the qualification "as far as the Borough" bail been inserted afterwards, because when the paper was read before he never heard such words, xie was uuder the impression that tho whole of the piping was to be taken up.— Cr. Vialou thought it monstrous that tiie Mayor should sitstill and sulfer sucbremarks to be made. Be had not tampered with the document after it had been presented to the Council. Besides 80 and not 60 feet of piping had been taken up.—Councillor Peat said his impression was also that Cr- Vialou had agreed to the whole of the piping being taken up. - Councillor McGar rigle expressed himself dissatisfied with the explanation which had been given. — Cr Vialou complained that a mountain was being made of a mole hill still gave a fur ther explanation.—Cr Jone3 said that he had been led to believe that they were at liberty to take up as much piping as they could Without disturbing the foundutions of the house. Cr Vialou appeared to be desirous of getting the Borough to drain his yard.—Cr Vialou characterised this state ment aßmonstrons. Thefactwasthathehad been draining the whole township through his yard for years past. —A Voice : The more fool you.—The mayor remarked that no reference had been made in the Works Committee's report to the reversion of tho removal of earth from Victoria-street.~lt was agreed that the Works Committee should report upon it at the next meeting.— Councillor Jones wished to know if Coun cillor Vialou would permit the pipes as far as tbe workshop to be removed.— Coun cillor Vialou : Certainly not.—Councillor McGarrigle moved, and it was seconded by Councillor Joaes, that '' In the opinion of this Council the explanation given by Councillor Vialou is not conslderen satis factory."—lt was carried unanimously.

THE HAMILTON LOAN.

A Little Difficulty,

The following letter has been received by the Hamilton Borough Council from the Audit Office, Wellington :—" Sir,-. The Commissioners of the Public Debts Sinking Funds lent to the Borough of Hamilton tho sum of £7000 secured upon the debentures issued by the Borough, Avhich were secured upon a rate of Is in the £ on the rateable property in the Borough, upon the understanding expressed in' writing that the whole of the proceeds of the tolls •of the bridge, after payment of tho necessary expenses of collecting the, toll were to be paid over to the Commis-' sioners, the excess after paying the interest. on the debt, to be applied to forming a Sinking Fund for repayment of the principal sum lent, and it was further agreed that the Corporation was to have the right ot bringing up its own bonas with the Sinking Fund thus accruing. On the other hand it was understood that if these terms were adhejed to the Comptroller and Auditor-General would, under the powers vested^i him, suspend the collection of the specThl rate. It appears, however, upon examination of the accounts of the Borough fpr the year ending the 31st March, 1880, .'that the receipts from the bridge have been carried into the bridge special fund account, which ,
