THE PERMISSIVE BILL IN CANADA.

The Permissive Liquor Law is ntfw":lft force all Over the Dominion of Canada The following summary of Its provisions was given by the Hon. MrVidal at a meet ing in London at which the Canadian dele gates were entertained : — ' "In: passing this law they,,had endear voured to, deal justly and fairly with those engaged in the liquor traffic.. They had provided that it could not come into opera tian until a very lengthened notice had hceh given—six months, in fact. The bill was in three sections. The first section declared the necessity for the measure, and made provision" for taking the vote, which was in strict harmony with the election law for members of the Houso of Common*. The vote was taken by ballot, and every effort made to secure purity of election. Tho validity of the result was not affected by anything that might be done in the course of the election, unless it could beshownjhat there was gross corruption. Guilty parties were punished, but the vote remained the same. One-fourth of the whole constituency must ask the Governor to bring on the ques tion to be voted upon. Iv his country the voting had been demanded by 3,000 names. They had to put them on exhibition in the sheriff's office for ten days to afford time for examination. If there were no ad verse report, then it became the duty of the Governor to bring on theelection. An order was issued and four weeks' notice givon. The day was.named, and the whole process was just like an election for members of the House of Commons. If the majority said that the law was to be put in force, that was communicated to the Secretary of State, and 60 days were allowed to elapse to permit any complaint to be made. The couuty judge exercised his power and decided. It there was anything wrong he reported to the Government, otherwise no notice was taken. Then-thc Government issued the seebpfd part of the proclamation, which was prohibi tory—prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors of every description with certain ex ceptions, for use in sacramental^ medicinal, or mechanical purposes—all very carefully guarded. An interval of 00 days mast yet elapse, and if, after the interval, there still existed licenses; they were unaffected, until the end 6f their term."

It is a long while since the public Ot Auck land have had a bankrupt Btook offered them, but the difappearance of J. B. Kobinsonand tho seizure ot his stock by the creditors has thrown th« Btock of tho Auokland Clothing Company on the market. The trade were invited to tender for It, and Messrs Garlick and Cranwell pur chased it at a large discount off the origins} cost. They have removed it to tholr City Hall Arcide premises, and as their warehouse is hardly large enough for tboir ordinary trado, they will sell this bankrupt stook at a small advance on what they purchased it for, to effect on immediate clearance. They having paid cash down for it, aro naturally anxious to recoup tho extra capital thus involved with all desoatch, and offer it at far less than its value to effeot a speedy clearance. Ladles and gentlemen are invited to shop early in the day, as tho assistants are so fully occupied ottonding to oußtouiore in the afternoon. The goods are all removed to tho City Hall Arcade,! ond are being sold by Garlick ond Cranwell, Drapers, ■ Oiotglcrß and House Furnishers. Oueeu-Bttoet.

Anglo-Colonial Notes.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

LONDON, August 27. LIEUT. CHIPPENDELL'S CASE. On August 19, Mr Birley, M.P. for Manchester, asked Mr Grant Duff whether i his attention had been drawn to the arrest and trial of Lieut. E. C. Ohippendoll on a charge of murder, and to tho conduct of Sir Arthur Gordon,. Governor of tho Fiji Islands, in reference thereto ; and whether he would undertake that a strict investigation of the affair should be promptly made. Mr Grant Duff replied that no time should: be lost, but that no information ou the case ! had as yet arrived that enabled tho Colonil j Oilice to form any opinions whatever on its merits. Tho question was no doubt an Opposition dodge to embarrass the Govern ment, but we have not heard the end of Lieut. Chippendell yet.

SIR BARTLE FRERE'S TRAVELLING EXPENSES. I I have not heard much that would lead mo to expect any superabundant enorgy iv Mr G. W. Dos Vaux, C. ftl.G., the new Governor of Fiji, but tho Governorship of the Bahamas does not allow of much dis play of administrative ability. It does not yet appear how long Sir George Strahan will supply tho vacuum at the Capo. Sir Bartlo Frere is making a bold fight for tho extra £2,000 that has been allowed him for travelling expenses, aud that he maintains is barely sufficient without the travelling. Economy, however, is the order of the day, and a C.M.G. on his arrival is a cheaper reward. Tho announcement of this ac- | cession of dignity creates great indignation in the breasts of the old ladies of the Peace Reservation Society, who think 'that ho and Lord Lytton should be hanged ou tho same tree to prevent loss of life iv the futuic. A NEW KNIGHT. A worthier addition to tho order of St. Michael and St. George is tho new Knight, Colonel John Carstairs McNeill, C.8., of Colonsay, Argyleshire. Tho honour was conferred ou him on his return from Canada with Prince Leopold. Colonel Carttaira entered tho army in 1850, aud Bervcd through the Indian campaign of 1857-8. He was aide-de-camp to Sir Edward Lugan during the siege of Lucknow. Iv 1861 he proceeded with Sir Duncan Cameron to New Zealand as his aide-de-camp, and served there till ISGS. He served in tho Fenian disturbances of 18GG-7, iv the Red River expedition in IS7O, and tho Ashautce War of 1874—50 the two saints may bo prdud of their new champion. Thrco new Companions of tho Order are Lieutenant- Colonel Falkland, George Edgeworth Warren, R.A., Captain Andrew Gilbert Wauchope, and Gerald Fitzgerald, Esq.

MARINE LIGHTS.

The subject of tho dangers ot the Red Sea outside the port ot Jedd_,h have again been brought before Parliament by Mr Arthur Arnold, nnd is under consideration at the India Oilice. Sir John Hay in quired whether the Board of Trade had made any way this winter in completing ti-c lights necessary for s«fc nevigation at Cape Guardafui, Has Hafoon, Focotia, Ailbehcl, and The Brothers. Mr. Chambcrlaiu merely assured him that it was under' con sideration, " and negotiations were proceed ing with both the Turkish and Egyptian Governments." We nil know the result of negotiations with Turkey, and tho worth of Egyptian promises.

COLONIAL LOANS.

Ou the subject of Government loans the " Graphic" says : "None will deny that the ■ colonies have a higher claim upon English investors than the rotten republics of South America, which have made off with so much principal and interest. Everything ought to be dove to open out colonial resources, and to make them availablefor the rest of the world. It happens, however, that New Zealand has just reached a crisis in her li nances which shows the folly of premature development by English loans. New Zea land went gaily ahead for a number of years upon imported capital, laying down railways, making roads, and constructing harbours. So long as the money lasted there were good times for both capitalists and labourers. But it has all come to an br upt end. They have created the means of traffic before a population has arrived to use them, and as they now invite no one to emigrate without considerable capital, a population is not immediately forthcoming."

A TOURIST'S IMPRESSIONS OF

NEW ZEALAND.

There has been a " chief among yo takin' notes" from Leicestershire, whose impres sions were printed iv the local papers of August 14. The writer describes his dis gust at the iucrease in the piice of drink ables a .or leaving Dunediu, but seems to have been partially consoled by the good quality of New Zealand water. The coast scenery struck him as particularly beautiful, andjon Lyttelton harbour ho grows quite enthusiastic. He promises 100,000 tons of grain for export from here and Timaru, may he not be mistaken ! Christchurch he finds quite up to Leicestershire's ideas of civilisa tion, and'the country around it is so similar to his native levels thnl he would have felt quite at home if only the former's lands could have accommodated him with a ruin or two. He then reviews the borrowing Dolicy, whose inauguration he ascribes to Sir Julius Vogel, and recapitulates Jthe financial facts with wbich your budget of the year has made us all but too familiar. The Property Tax annoys his susceptibi litios most. The letter is on the whole not alarmist, and he concludes with some good practical advice to his fellow country men : " For the next few years I would not advise a single person to give up a good situation to come to New Zealand with a view to bettering himself. The want of the present is good farmers with money to come and settle on the land. Hundreds of thou sands of acres of splendid land are to be had very cheap, which wili produce wheat and wool not to be surpassed in any part of the world." The writer promises a des cription of Wellington in his next, but dates from his destination, Auckland, so I may compliment you on a sensible addition to your population.

DEATH OF A NEW ZEALAND

VETRAN.

The death of Colonel Thomas Horau has recently taken place. He was one of the few'survivors of the campaign in Afghani stan of 1842. He served in the Indian Mutiny from December, 1857 to 1859. Colonel Horan also served in the New Zea land war iv 1860-61, including the expedi tions in the Province of Taranaki, and in command of the outposts, destroying many pahs and fortified places. For these services he received a second medal, and in July, 1866, was promoted to the rank of major, with which rank he subsequently retired on full pay, being 'promoted to a lieutenant colonelcy in October, 1868.

IMMIGRATION OF CHILDREN.

Cardinal Manning, who has upwards of 2,800 orphans under his care is making arrangements with the Canadian Bishops to obtain situations for such as are able to fill them in Roman Catholic families, where they would be under the supervision of the clorgy. Tho demand for them ,is already great, and it is expected that: a number will shortly [leave for their new homes.

- The latest wool sale shows 1,366 bales of New Zealand. The sale passed off at full prices. 3 THEi CHANNEL COLLISION.''

The case of the Centurion and the Mel bourne ship Hydaspes was concluded too late for me to send you the judgment by the last mail. So far as the captain of the Centurion was concerned, no blame was attached to him. As regards the Hydaspes, the blame attached to the master, was, in ._____' opinion, of so very important a character that they never think of touching his certificate on that account. No .doubt a more skilful man would have shortehed his tow-rope. They hoped he would take warning by this case. As regarded the piolot of the Centurion, they found him to blame for porting before ascertaining what the course of the other vessel was; still, they thought that the mistake he made was more an error of judgment, and of so comparatively trilling a character that the Court trusted that the effect of their judgment would not be the suapcusion of his certificate. Somo rather hotty- worded correspondence was carried on between the pasaengers of tho Hydaspes and the officers of the Centmion, but the latter seem to have fully vindicated their character for gallantry.

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY,

The " Engineer " of August 13 contains a detailed accouut aud illustration of the Horizontal Hauling engine, made by Messrs Tangye Bros., of Birmingham, for the Aus tralian Agricultural Company. The engine is tor the underground haulage of coal waggons along an incline 3,000 yards in length ; it will exert a maximum tractiv forceof tentons. The engines were cohe structed under an outline specification of Mr John Fowlc .of London. We hear that au anonymous donation of £10,000 has just been given to Melbourne Cathedral. The Queeu has been pleased to approve of Mr Belcons as Consul at Melbourne for the French Republic. The information may

is mentioned as Vice Consul at Adelaide for the Swiss Confederation in the L same Gazette.

ISLAND LIFE,

Mr Wallace, of whose scientific reputa tion you are [probably aware, will shortly bring out a new work call-id " Island Life," which discusses the most interesting ques tions connected with insular faunas and floras by the aid of recent geological and physical researches. " Great importance is attached to secular changes of climate, and hence the problem of geological climates is carefully investigated, and a now and some, what novel solntion of it attempted," says the " Athenieum."

Correspondence.

MUDDLEHEAD ARBORICULTURE.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib, —I noticed, in your issue of last Fri- I day, a short note—a kind of double-shullle ' contradiction of some statements that I had made in tho correspondonco columns of tho "Herald," ro tho "Domain Vandalism." The writer states that none of tho trees in the Government grounds were headed back, except those ou Waterloo Quadrant, which wcro cut because they interfered with the roadway. Now, sir, those aro the trees I referred to, as proving that that mode of pruning was doath aud destruction to oaks in this climate, whatever it might bo in colder climes. I pointed out that some i years ago these trees were headed back, i.e., some of their branches cut off at a certain I distance from the trunk, and that the results ! arc now visible ; thoso results being that every place that was so cut, whether it was a twig, a branch, or a limb, is now rotton at tho cut stumps. This tact cannot bo gainsayed, as anyone can sco that lor them selves. The Btatemont made by your corres pondent, that no other trees iv the Govern ment House grounds were bo treated is, to put it mildly, a mistake. Lot anyone go along Princes-street, and look over the fence at tho young oaks there, nearly every ono of which have lately had all their branches cut offiuto unsightly stumps, in that very same way, only wholesale and they now resemble very ugly brobdignagian cauli flowers. Ido not" now complain of tho frightful disfigurement of theso handsome young trees; but I assert that in a few years, every one of those stumps, where the branches have been cut, will be rotten at the cuds ; aud supposing the ends do sprout into thick tufts, how can a branch that is rotten inside support thoso tufts, should they ever grow beyond the sizo of twigs. The outrageous treatment of the oaks in the Domain is even worse than this, aud I would like Professor Fraser to examine Goldio's organs of destructivencss. They must be abnormally large—and, there they have not even the miserable excuse of want of room to justify their horrible vandalism. —I am <Xic.,

TRADESMEN BEWARE.

(To the Editor.)

Silt, —Amongst tho many subjects into which your valuable STAR takes a peep it would doubtless be read with a warning note at it's close for future precaution when in your Monday's issue boarding-house keepers arc warued to be on the look-out tor a certain young gentleman, so called, possibly well known to the young ladies of that aristocratic place, who lives on the bard earnings of some poor old lady on the cheap for a week or two, and then shifts for tho sake of convenience. Well, sir, did I belong to the above class of respectable citizens, I should feci a debt of gratitude to you for throwing your evening light on my path for guidance in the dark. But as I ended tho short talc a happy thought suggested itself to my mind, and the public shall have the benefit of it. It is that a portion of your paper might be well utilised once or twice a-weck in warn ing tradesmen generally of a class of indi viduals who arc daily to bo Been in our midst. Ear be it from me to say an unkind word against those who havo an honest heart who strive to the best of their ability to pay their dues, but in many instances, through misfortune, cannot. Such deserve our sympathy. But I should liko to see Bomo of thoso whom I have in my mind's eye, who by the way can walk our streets as I saw one tho other day with the honourable member for Newton. With hh hands in an aristocratic position and his head erect, he thus wended his way down Queen-street with a most wonderful air of importance because he was thus found in. company with an M.H.H. of courso he failed to look upon your humble correspondent, but I could to my sorrow, remember the time when his plausible tougue beguiled him in my books. It is this class of characters, sir, which I should much liko to see held out to my brother tradesmen in their true colours. Then much of the worry and anxiety of a business life would be removed. AYe should then be able to. enter our busi ness establishments with a lighter heart, aud lite itself would become more gladsome and happy. You have your advertising boards iv different parts of our city, add one more to the number, put it in a conspicu ous position in Queen-street, and on it tho names and addresses of those who deserve far worse treatment. If you follow out this suggestion you will indeed be carrying into effect the motto of your paper.—l am, &c„ Constant Reader.

GOOD TEMPLARS AND THE DANE.

(To the Editor.)

Dear Sib,—As you havo before ' been informed of the friendly and cordial feeling which exists among all true Good Templars in Auckland and its vicinity, aud especially the friendship existing between the lodg.-. on board H.M. ship Dante and the lodga of Onehunga, which friendship was further strengthened by the presentation by the Sea Nymph Lodge of a beautiful illus trated Bible to the Hope of Manukau Lodge, which presentation took place on Saturday night last In the Parnell Lodge ot Good Templars. The presentation was made as a farewell gift by the Brothers of the Sea Nymph Lodge, whoso time is up on their present station, and are under orders for Home upon the arrival of the relieving ship. The Sea Nymph Lodge will be handed over to the Good Templars of the new ship, who will continue tho good work on Tuesday next. The Sea Nymph Lodge will assist in the opening of a new lodge at Mount Eden, where they will enlivon the evening by the presence of their happy English faces, sing their patriotic and mirth-producing songs, and otherwise help the good old cause—which cause is making steady progress, especially in the rolony of New South Wales, where there are upwards of 8,000 members in good standing. The Hope of Manukau Lodge will also give an entertainment in about a fortnight, when the ptiblioare proitiised an excellent evening's amusement, and if the Dana, is Still in harbour, a visit will again be made by part of Neptune's happy family. -lan_, & c, 8.a.W.8.

THE DOMAIN AND J. B. RUSSELL.

To the Editor EVBNIRG STAR. Sir,— During the last week there have ap peared several letters in the "Herald" signed by various plumes about tho pruning in the Domain. But they evtdently emanate from one and the same source, and I was not surprised to* find the same inspiration running through the leading article of Saturday's " Herald.". Now, why this out burst of indignation and wrath against Goldie, who up to now has given even J.B.R. satisfaction, and who has ever since his appointment, two and a-half years ago, adopted and carried out tho same system of pruning without a word of complaint ? Then it cannot be the pruning that has raised his ire, but some other, which is this : The Board decided against Mr J. B. R's expres sion of opinion to clear away certain decayed vegetation and undergrowth toitoi, so as to sweeten the air and dry the paths, that pedestrians could go through without being poisoned either physically or morally. The Board dared to do this with the prisoners instead of making Mr J. B. R. pay carria"e driving round the cricket "round, which also would require a lot of vandalism. If this means destroying the trees, why this cowardly attack upon the curator, when the man only acts under instructions from his employers—theßoard—collectively, and Dot individual members thereof ? It would be unfortunate for the public if the Board consisted only of this one man of such great Auckland experience in forestry, whose opinion ought in common fairness to silence all and every authority, whose ex perience only cover other small parts of the world. The Domain is without doubt a beautiful place, and I thought it wonder fully improved lately, but the enlrauce which J.B.R. has consistently opposed is a disgrace to the city and its authorities. Sco the difference between the Western Park and this. Is it because the council lors all live that side of the town? Why should the people who have no carriages be prohibited from going through the Domain without the risk of, breaking their necks or legs. Of course this is not exactly in

fanOy carriage drive Hence his oppo sition. Now that said plan is unworkable in many respects, and I expect the necessary deviation we have had to make in the entrance at Bill-street—which is now being done at the expense, principally, of tho Newmarket Board—will also be con demned. But I might say, for J.B.R.'s consolation, that I am fully determined not to rest until there is a decent walk and good entrances into the Domain—which is in tended for the people's park, and not a hermit's cave for the favoured few to enjoy. —I am, &c, J. Jenkins.

HARBOUR REGULATIONS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,— Why is Auckland an exception to any other port in the world ns regards watermen boarding vessels in tho harbour with a butcher iv the boat. Surely butchers must be a very low class of tradesmen when thoy are not allowed the some privileges as an ordinary passenger. I have sailed out of most of the ports in Australia and Mew Zealand, and never saw the time a wator mau could not board a vessel within the limits of the harbour, except in cases where a health officer was required. I have boarded vessels outside the harbour before tho pilot reached them, but I was cautioned against doing so again, aud I was informed by tho Custom's official that he did not miud mo boarding vessels if the pilot was already on board, excepting in cases where tho ships were from London aud had pas sengers on board, There has always been one pilot who would allow us to bourd until very recently, but now we arc greeted when we got dowu to the vessel with the well known command to sheer off. _ Wo aro not allowed to speak to tho captiin or to touch tho voßsel with our boat. If the vessel is becalmed it is just the samo, and until the anchor is down we cannot board her. Now sir, anyone else is allowed to board thoso vessels provided ho is not a butcher. Surely tho Harbour Board and tho Customs will take into consideration tho fact that the times aro not so good as they were, and it is very hard wheu wo aro offered a faro to tho North Head that wo have to refuse it simply becauso wo will not be allowed alongside the vosael. This complaint, sir, is not prcmaturo. as we are treated very badly by the Harbour Board. In the first place they keep a boat themselves, which deprives us of the fares we formerly obtained from thorn ; secondly they havo deprived us of a convenient place to laud our passengers, moor our boats, and also of a- shed in close proximity to tho stairs; thirdly, they have prevented us from earn ing our living in tho harbour by refusing to allow us to board vessels until they are auchorcd. Now I do uot want to in fringe tho rules," but I should be most thankful it I could be allowed to board a vessel inside the North Head, when the Health Officer is not required, vathout being threatened with line and imprison ment. The question now is, whether they want to abolish tho watcrmon altogether, and to convey passengers in tho Customs launch only. If so, why do they grant 15 or 16 men licenses; and if not, why should tho pilot interfere with a man working hard for a living.—Yours, &c, Waterman.

HORTICULTURAL SHOW.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As a member of tho Horticultural Bocicty, I most certaiuly disapprove of combining the Show with that of tho Agri cultural and other Societies. The proper place to hold a Flower Show is, I submit, the city. This has been amply proved by past experiences hero nnd elsewhere. I had made up my mind to exhibit, but I certainly will not do so now, and thcro are other members similarly situated. But this is one question on which I would like some information. Our ticket of member ship entitles the holder and certain friends to froo admission to all shows. Now, be fore one can get on tho Association grounds at Ellerslie a charge is made ; but as it will be impossible to sco the Flower Show without entering the grounds, is it to bo ex pected that a member of tho Horticultural Society, who has no desire to visit any other part of the grounds shall be called upon to pay for an extra ticket before he can make use of hiß ticket of membership, for which ho has always paid £11 Perhaps you would bo good enough to get some information and publish the same for general information. In conclusion I may soy that if the Commit tee of tho Horticultural Society should by their action cause o broach of faith with tho aubaoribora, tlioy will soon iiod that tho out sido intercst|in this, as in former Societies, will quickly disappear.—l am, &c., Flos.

WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURE?

(To the Editor.) Sir,—l am well aware that you do not throw open your column for the discussion of religious questions, but I have never known you to refuse' the insertion of a temperate answer to any statement iv your paper, even though that answer was based on holy writ. Now last night you cited a statement of a contemporary which I think is falacious and productive of harm. It was this: —" Well, so long as the worshippers are sincere, it matters not, my boy, what form or shape the worships takes." According to this dictum it docs not matter whether a man is a Mohamedan, Mormon, Glassite, Inghaniite, Baptist, Romanist, Anglican Phymouthite, Eliasitc, Methodist, or anything else, so long as he is sincere. But it does matter; for these differences in religious belief make infidels scoff, believers dubious, and the whole Church impotent for good. The sincere man is not neccessarily right. St, Paul was sincere when he persecuted men and women, thinking that the Infinite Love was'benefitted thereby; and most fanatics are sincere, but who will daro to say their sincerity condones their ferocity. The Irish patriot is sincere, and believes he can best redress his unhappy country's wrongs by assassinating her supposed enemies; but an upright judge could scarcely sind with him. He would hold him accountable for his actions, and, would disregard his plea—that he considered it to be his bounden duty to do as be did. At a higher Tribunal than on earth it may bo decided how tar the wrongdoer is responsi ble for his'belief, but there can be no doubt that we are all responsible in some way or other. This is especially true in regard to religious worship, for surely the Bible is not such an enigma that nobody can tell how God should be worshipped, or whether He is indifferent; how, when or where he is worshipped. Now without split ting hairs about this or that passage of Scripture, I will refer to the example of our Lcrd Jesus Christ, whose example all Christians approve and deem conclusive. How did he regard the Samaritans . Did he say to his disciples "It docs not matter how, whon, or where people worship so long as they are sincere ? " No ; he forbade his disciples to enter their cities. He never entered their synagogues.
