BISHOP C-'AVIE'S LECTORE ON AFFGHAiNnSTAN.

(To the Editor of tiic Evening Star.) Sir, —Mr Edger fakes Bishop Cowicto task for, as he says, "justifying England's pre sent cruel and warlike policy in Central Asia." Prom what I gnthered from the Bishop's lecture he did not so much justify a cruel act, but rather pointed out that our Afghan policy was forced upon us. The only thing that astonished me iv the lecture ■was that m the whole course of it, not a Mngle allusion, was made to Him ■who " fighteth for us " and who has so.far blessed Us with victory over all our enemies. Mr. Edger " does not bsliove (hat iv this ago there need be auy war " what on earth does he mean ? lie mi^ht just as vrell say there is no necessity for a police force. Were there no police burglary, bushraDging &c. would be rampant, and the world would soon be in a queer atato if such burglars as the Czar of all the Kusaias, the Sultan of Turkey or the Khedive of Egv,pt were allowed to work their o-wn sweet will unmolested, Mr. Gladstone's views on the Afgtum question are similar to those of Mrßdgar, and iito whole, mat ter may be summed up as Parochialism versus Impeiialiam. Mr Gladstone made a great speech in Edinburgh, iv November last, and in the course of it ho said, " That the British Empire is au Empire the daily calls of whose responsibilities task and out break the energies of her ablest statesmen, There is not a couutry in the history of the world that ha« undertaken what wo have undertaken. There is no precedent in human history for a formation like the British Government. A small island at one extremity of tha globe peoples the whole earth with its colonies, but it is not satis lied with that. It gee* among the ancient races of Asia and its subject*, 240,000,000, to its rule there. Along with all this it dis seminates over the whole world n, commerce such as no imagination ever conceived in former times, and such n 3 no poet over painted. There axe some three and thirty millions of 2>eoplc in the United Kingdom ; they are a population le.»a than the population of France. Less than the popu lation of Amtiia ; less than tho population of Germany ; Less than tha population of Russia. Jiut the population of France, Austria, Germany and Russia, find it quite hard enough to settle their own matters within their oven limits. We on the other hands have undertaken to settle tlrs afl'airs of a fourth of the entire human race scat tered over tho world, and that i« not enough for the ambitiou of Lord UeaconHfieltl." These are remarkablo words, uttered by one of the greatest statesman that has over appeared on this globe, but it is evident that his ultra-piactical, ultra-parochial mmd is horrified at the brilliant Imperial ism of the Gotl-iu,spired Jew who now directs the affairs of Gieat Britain. And now for ouo solution of the mystery, which may or may not commend itself to the mind of Mr Edger, let him turn to the Hook of Daniel; he will there lind that fn a vision King Nebuchadnezzar is shown (ho future political history of the world from himself down tt the end of time. Four empires are sketched ont, each one succeed ing the other, thtn the fourth is divided into ten kingdoms, but during the existence of the fourth empire, and the ten kingdoms iuto which it is divided, a fifth is founded, ■which, commencing very small and insigni ficant, subsequently destroys the ten king doms, and ultimately ooveisthe whole earth, in fact, a universal empire. I would surest to Mr Edger that Great Britain is that fifth Empire, heuce the tact that positively aßam»t tho wish of the nation conquest upou conquest ia forced upon u». The Pun jab was forced upon us, Fiji likewise, Zululand also, and again Afghanistan, and bo it will always bo. Mr Gladstone cannot stop it, for it i« God's work, and the " king dom and dominion, and greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven is to be given to the people of the saints of the Most High," that is to be tha children of Israel, that 13 to the British.—l am &c,

THE PATETERE LANDS.-A MAORI COMPLAINT.

(TRANSLATION)

(To the Editor of the STAR),

Salutations to you,—A* it w generally reported that Hare Teimana (Harry Symmoas) is the person appointed to manage Jill matters concerning the lands iv the Patetere district, and he has gone to the Ministers of the Government aud repre sented to thtra that he is the appointed person to manage all lands in this district. We would ask you to listen, so als>o all other persons. We, this ttibo, Ngatiterangi, who number more than one hundred males above the age of twenty-one, never appointed Hare Teimana to manage our land Patetere, neither did we send him to to Wellington to arrange mattors afi'ectlng our lands. We aro of opinion that we, the people -who own the laud, are the proper persons to appoint our own representatives to manage our Patetore landi. When wo heard that Hare Teimana had gone to Wel lington and had told the Native Minister that he was sent by all the members of the Ngatirankawa tribe, we thereupon sent word to tho Minister, (hiding fault with Hare Teimana, telliDg him that wo did not send him. Again when the meeting took place at Te Waotu, ou the 10th of January, wo found fault with Hare Teimana. Although we alway found fault with and objected to Hare Teimana, still the Government would not pay our objection any attention but listened to what they were told by Hare Teimana and his Europeans, the result is the works wo had in hand on our lands at Patetere have been (topped, such as our nurvejs. We are acting according to the law, but the work being carried out by Hare Teimana is not according to few, Yet the Government upholds his designs, and the works of us, who are as well the owners of the land, they do not recognise. Hare Teimana is working under the instructions of a small hapu c»Dcd Ngatiraanu, a hapu whom we do not know »s having any claim to this land Patetere. Friends, you who have knowledge, just look into these acts which cause suffering (injustice) j wg could say much more, but will here stop.—From Kakawaero, Piripi Hopo, Ticmi Itanapiri, Maihi te Uata, N»ahaua Koraris, Piui te Konga, Paora te Karttai, Timiuha Taipo rutu, Hepori Matiah», that is from all Ngatiterangi.

MORMONISM.

(To tbo Editor.)

SIE, —With your kind permission I would let you and your numerous readers know some of the language used by Elder Soren son, Latter Day Saint (save the name), and leave your readers to judge if his language is becoming a saint. A few days ago the saint came along Custom House-street, and ■began setting forth his doctrine, I must say that it was his own as he could not prove it by Scripture. I asked him this question, "Was there anything in tho religion of Christ or his Apostles that ■would teach a man to steal his neighbour's wife ?" A simple yes or no would havo been a suffi cient answer, and one that any person ■would expect to come from a Saint, but to my astonishment, and those present, for there were three or four, the answer I got was " You are a black h»arted liar." Now, sir, 1 did not ask him if he had done so—nothing of tha sort, but it appeared to be a case of the cap fitting. He repeated II several times, and said that after what was in the newspapers from those that n ere not Mormons, as well as from Mr Pierce that they never asked the woman to go nor held out any induce ments to her, but did ali they could lo pre vent her from RoiDg and in the face of that I was a black hearted liar (this is his language), and he positively denied either asking Mrs Lucy to go to Salt Lake or holdiDg out any inducement to her. I told aim that he vras measuring my corn in his own bushel, and so it turned out, for he had to confess that they told Mrs Lucy that if she was in Salt Lake she would be amongst a lot of godly people, an ,i allft coul j bring up her children in tho fear of God, and be the means of saving her husband. I leave you to iudge was that no inducement ? I think it was. Just read what Paul and Peter say about the matter Ist Corinthians, 7th chapter, 13th and 14th verses, and Ist epistle of Peter 3rd chapter Ist and 2nd verses. Sir, I could mention a lot of other rot which he would have ua be lieve and when wo would not lie threatened us with the Judgments of God for unbelief. But I have trespassed (oo much at present' as it is.—Yours &c,

CAB FAKES.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —Allow me through the columns of your widely rend paper to answer the letter re cab fares :—Kirnt with icgard to extor tion, the remedy is simple and lies m the bands of the peison who thinks he is imposed upon. Let him take the number of the cab, scud a wiiltort complaint to the Inspector who has power under bye-law No. 21 to tako the driver before any justice of the peace, who can inflict a fine (if 40.3 and a refuud of the ovucharge. With

regard to being compelled to drivs by tho hour, i will point out the difference iv the sciile of charges. lam writing about the fares charged by hansom cnbs. For example, a person wishes to be driven to Onchunga and loft there, the fare by mileage is 12s, by the hour it would be 3s Gd, or if the person back 7s for fourteen miles. As a rula we don't object (o driving by the hour when people are shopping or making calls in the city. What We object to is driving long distances by the hour. It does not pay. What is tho use of a mileage rate if we are compelled to go by the hour ? With reference to the cab fares at Welling ton, allow mo to say there is a vast dill'er ence iv plying back and forward along the Strand, the same as a 'bus picking up a passenger hero and dropping auother there all day long, than the rough and broken hills around Auckland which we have to drive up or over. With respect to Sydney rules, there can be no comparison between the two places. There everyone lides. Still the cab proprietors took all the cabs off the streets until the obnoxious by-law was rescinded. On Good Friday, a gentle man connected with the City Council wished to be driven homo, past the New ton reservoir, for eighteeupence—there were six of them—when lie knew the fare was three shillings ; just what their 'bus fare would have come to. lie must think our intelligence is on a par with the horse we drive, or he would uever try to make U3 take what he chose to give us. I will give you an example of how we get a bad name. A gentleman wants to go to the top of Grafton Koad —the fare is three shillings ; he odors you two shillings ; you decline to drive him. " Yet some other driver will take him for the two shillings, and he is driven away, thinkiug in his own mind, what a rascal that fellow is trying to extort au extra shilling of me, when iv truth you ouly asked the legal fare. Yet those men who drive under the fares are the onci that stick it on thick when they get the chance. As to keeping the caid of fares under the cushions, I always do so, for the simple reason that having to take all sorts of people, elevated and at times quarrelsome and mischievous, who drag down the card to have a Jook, drop it under their feet, till, what with spittle and dirt, it would puzzle a lawyer to make head or tail of it. Nov.', a few words about oxpensoa asd prolitj. It costs from £130 to £160 to put a hansom cab on the stand. The weekly expenses arc about £3 -15.", and 'the average earnings for one year will not exceed £i 10;) per week. Taking into consideration that the driver passes about fifteen hours out of the twenty-four in the streets, in all weathers, I fail to .see how ho has such grand times of it. One thing I wish to bring before your notice. There is uo protection for a cabman. A person may get iuto your cab, be driven about all day, then refuse to pay your fare, telling you to summons him for the amount. SVhile you arc losing time taking out a summons, he ia half way to Dunediu, or some other place, ami you are done krowu. I must apologise for die length of this letter, but hope you will insert it in the interests of a much-abused race of men.—l am, &c,

A proposed occupation of Tonquin by the French Government is causing a good deal of excitement in Saigon. The disgrace of Ching How, the ex- Ambassador to Ku.osia, is very complete, and one of the Censors has recommended that he should be put to deatti; also it is rumoured that Ching How has committed suicide, owing to the machinations of his ollicial colleagues at Pckin. The Japanese Government has decided on the construction of a fort on Kanonsaki, to command the entrance to the Bay of Yedda, and to be armed with heavy Krupp guns. The entrance to the port of tjhunouoscki is likewise to be fortified. A destructive fire occurred at Tokio on the 4th inst, when upwards of 2,500 houses were destroyed. HONGKONG, February 19th. Governor Ilenuessy has been successful iv breaking up the opium ring and obtain ing 70,000 dollars extra for the monopoly for this year. Keports from Pckin states that Ching How, late Ambassador to St. Petersburg, has been* degraded, and will probably be executed. The reason assigned is that it is through the -jealousy of his brother mandarins on account of his diplomatic success. Eoman Catholic missionaries have ob tained permission to travel anywhere through China teaching their doctrines, and proclamations are issued by the Imperial edict prohibiting any interference with them.

The Christchurch Review.

(PER UNITED PiJESS ASSOCIATION.)

: CHRISTCHUKCH, Monday. THEEE was an enormous attendance at the racecourse to-day. It was estimated by the lowest computation at 10,000. On arriving at the race platform, the men were marched on to the course, and then fell out for a little while. The ammunition was served out during this interval. The steady marching of the Artillery, Navals, Engineers (Wellington Company), and the Cliristchurch Engineers would hare done credit to the regular troops. A second march past took place in close column order, between lines formed by the people, in which the Artillery Companies, Naval Brigade, Waikari liifles, Dunedin Kifles, Christclmrch Engineers, and City Guards were particularly noticeable for their steadiness. A halt was now called, and, after a spell, the men were being put into position of executing the usual review move ments. When a sham light was finished, the Volunteers marched back to town, by batteries, by way of the road.

Domain Athletic Sports.

In consequenco of the holiday proclivities of a number of youDg and giddy pigeons, which were placed in service yesterday, ODly one message came to hand from the Domain in time for publication, and we are, therefore, obliged to give to-day the results of the various racts. The programme pre pared for the occasion was an attractive ono, and the large assemblage of people looked forward with reasonable expectation to ex cellent contest's, and an exciting finish to the big event. The running of the first dis tance of tho race for the Championship un deceived them howover,andif the general dis satisfaction was not loudly, it waa at least vigorously expressed. Hutton ran array from his man, and won as he liked, but to the amazement of everybody, except perhaps a few knowing ones, the race at the second distance (150 yards) had quite a different result. Frier headed his rival from tho start, and by dint of a desperate show of elbow punching kept him in tho rear, winning eventually by abreast A section of the spectators,who were evidently convinced that the athletes had not done (heir best, gave vent to their decided disapprobation by hooting. The third distance (200 yards) was run without any great exertion on the part of either competitor, Hutton taking the lead at an early stage, and winning in a pleasant little amble. The handi cap races were possessed of bt t slight interest, and they were not particularly well contested. As an exhibition of racing capabilities, the sports were not a success, and the patrons were certainly ill-pleased with the proceedings. We append the results of the several events :— Match foe the Championship and £50 A-SIDE. First Distance, 100 yds.

This race was a gift to Hutton, and, as a natural result, Frier lost any place which he had previously held iv the public esti mation. Second Distance, 150 yds.

Frier secured the lead at the start, and, despite his wretched performance in the preceding contest maintained it till the linish although Hutton was close upon his heels all the way. Third Distance, 200 yds. J. B. Hutton 1 J. H. Frier 2 Hutton was a hot favourite, and a capital race was anticipated, by of compensa tion, we presume, for the indifferent success that had attended the previous competi tions. The public anticipation, however, was not realised. Hutton outpaced his man after a dozen or two yards had been traversed, and thence to the tape lino the athletes, to use a vulgar but expressive phrase, " took it easy." 150 yds handicap. First Heat :W. Koth, 13yds, 1 ; E. Underwood, Byds, 2; H. Hill, 17yds, 3. Koth won with comparative ease. Second Heat : J. Taylor, 7yds, 1 ; E. J edge, S^vda, 2; J, Mumford, 15yds, 3. Final it eat: W. Roth, 13} da, 1; F. Underwood, Byds 2 ; J. Taylor, 7yds, 3.

440 YDS HANDICAP.

J. Patterson, doyds, 1; J. Morrison, 70yds, 2; J. Hendry, 35yds, 3. Frier and Ilutton both ran, but neither secured a place. The former retired when some dis tance from tho finish.

Canterbury Races.

[.UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

CHJUSTCHUItCir, this day

There is a poor attendance on the course in marked contrast to tho number present yesterday. The scratching of Fishhook and York for the big event late last night, altered the betting. Titania is now coming into favour. Le Loup's arrival on the course created considerable attraction; he seems lit enough so far as appearances go. The three final acceptors saddled for the Free Handicap of three sovf. each, fifty eovs. added one mile. Le Loup 1 Tera 2 On Dit 3 The betting : Six to four on Lo Loup. On Dit, at tho start, kept the lead until turning up the straight for home, when Le Loup came up, passing others, and winning ' easily by a length. Time, lmin. 47Asec3. There were £02 in the totalisator, £25 ou the favourite. The Epsom Stakes was a walk-over for Mata. Foul Play, Le Loup, and Fishhook, were scratched. Great Autumn Handicap, of lOsovs each, three hundred added ; mile and a-half.

Foul Play, Titania, Volunteer, Norseman, Mario Antoinette, and Luna started. On Dit was scratched. The betting was 10 to 1 against Cainballo, 3 to 1 Mata, 2 to 1 Betrayer. After some fiddling at the post a, start was effected, Marie Antoinette gettiug best, with Betrayer next, Mata third. Tliis order was maintained until opposite tho stand when Foul Play assumed the lead. At the three-quar ters of a mile post, Titania went up to the leader. Turning into the straight, Mata and Foul Play came round together, with iCamhailo lying on tho oil" side. The two leaders raced up the straight, Mata having Foul Play beaten. Betrayer now came up with n nub, which Cainballo answered, and amidst great excitement assumed the lead, winning by a length. Time : 2mins. ilsecs. There were £139 in the totalisator, aud only £5 invested in the winner.

They were shy of interviewing any Government oiHcials prior to the Parihaka March meeting, but are favourable to a peaceful settlement of the Waimate difficulty. As thoy arc entirely under the iullucnce and guidanco of To Whiti, their views indicate a. spoody aud peaceful settlement of the whole question.

The Thames Review.

GUAHAMSTOWN, Monday.

Tho manrouvrcs to-day were well exe cuted, the skirmishing being partly good. The cavalry behaved splendidly, charging right up to the b lvonets of tho infantry in square. The miv* ing past was very steady. After the Review Colonel l.yon congratu lated the volunteers on their steadiness and efficiency, and pronounced the marching past equal to that of regular troops. The big gun practised by the navals was wit nessed by a large crowd, and they were much praised for their smartness. Captain Payne shewed great skill in handling his battery of Aucklaud Artillery. They were repeatedly cheered. Tito sword exercise by the cavalry was a brilliant spectacle.

DEAN'S MINSTRELS.

Dean's Minstrels may now bo placed among the established institutions of the city. They have worked well, clung to gether, and achieved well-merited success. Last night the minstrels pare their second annual entertainment and ball in the hall of Lome-street, which was crowded to the doors ; even iv the gallery there was not room for tha city boys, who trod each other's heela in order to t^et a fair hearing. The entertainment was under distinguished pntronage, although some of the memboia of the Volunteers did not roll up aa ex pected. The band, under Mr Shannaghan, played a number of choice tunes outside, and inside the orche»tra gave great satis faction. The lifting of the curtain disclosed the statuesque and ready forms of the minstrels, with Horace in the centre, and Dunny (bones) and Fred (tambo) at each corner, like the lions of Burleigh Park. A change is pleasant, even from extremes, and after poring over copy all day, or boriug through a lodger, an hour passed in the company of Dean's Minstrels stirs the blood, and causes the heart to throb at the sights and sounds, however sentimental or ludicrous, which constitute the change. "There is a time to laugh, and a time to weep," said the wise man, aDd his words have been verified a thousand times in the field of experience. The lirst part of the programme comprised various ballads, fun, fancy, aud feeling, closing with the march of the Brannigau Band. The songs were comic and sentimental, each possess ing its modicum of merit. The original overture and chorus were rendered with pleasing effect. The songs of this part were all good and well sung ; in fact it would be diihcult to say which was the most ellectivc, but we must candidly affirm that for poetry of expression, " Smile Onco Again," was the best of the sentimentals; it was well sung by Mr Dean, who fully entered into the beautiful spirit of the song. Much praise is due to Mr Cadinan for " Sloep On," and to Mr Kyland (not his proper name we suspect) for "My Home on the old Ohio." " Patrick Mind the Baby," by Mr Bcrtio ; and " Blow the Candle Out," bjr Mr Kice ; were of a different order of composition, essentially comic, with the chief and only aim of raising laughter. "The Stars of Heaven," promised by J. White, was not Bung, as that volatile and erratic genius, did not put in an appearance. Mr Dean ex pressed his regret that the absence of White should cause a break in the programme. The song "Our Jack" was also omitted in consequence of the waywardness of the singer. The second part opened with a grand fantasia from "Martha" by the members of the orchestra. Mr Kyland then came forward and sang with true feeling, Byron's magnificent song " Maid of Athens," which was loudly applauded. The vocal and terpsichorean act of Messrs Bertie and Kice, created a storm of app^uso. which did not cease until the active actors re-appeared on tho stage Mr Wm. Nor man was immense in his negroistic drol leries, and especially in his stump speech— one of the best things of the kind we have heard—in which he continually referred to tho silting of the dock, and " Who's to blame ?" The local allusions were not lost upon the auditory, but took immediately. We need scarcely say that Master Willie was most successful. A striking feature was the fine song, "Here Stands a Post," by Mr Horace Dean, In which he was encored. His rendering of the patriotic lines deserved the approbation elicited. The whole concluded with an amusing sketch, " Put up yodr Thumb," very cloverly performed by seven comedians. Giugab by Norman, and Mauajah by DeaD, were quite original in treatment, and laughable in tho extreme. The ball was opened at 11 o'clock, and continued har moniously through the night. Mr Smith acted elliciently as M.C., and Mr J. G. Little attended to the comfort of the inner man.

THE IMPRISONMENT OF MR WARBRICK.

(To the Editor)

Slit,— For your motto I pen as follows :— " We'll hang him instantly. What's his offence 2" Do you think it right, putting aside the legality that Mr A. Warbrick, a gentleman who has for years resided in out midst, should be sent to gaol as a common criminal, in the default of payment of £100 and costs, dressed in prison clothes, and locked up as a common felon. " What was his offence ?" Simply refusing to act as an informer on his employer, The law, as Judge Gillies would say, did not inter pret it in that light, nor did it give power in its liberal sense, to lock up an old man, now nearly on the verge of the grave, whose family is a credit to him, and one of which has distinguished himself before his Queen and country, in the cause of humanity. I trust we will shortly have in Auckland a Humane Society—it is wanted badly.—l am sc,
