We publish in another column an intercst inglettor from pur special correspondent on the Waimate Plains, describing the modus operandi of Te Whiti'a present policy of obstruction. The question arises if To Whiti can thus obstruct the road with impunity within a mile of a large constabu lary camp, how are we to protect .some hundred mile« of road from like interfer ence ? If he will defy a large number of armed men, what will he do to the settlers on the.Waimate Plains when their fencing operations have begun, should the autocrat of Paiihaka be inclined to destroy rather than erect fences ? No man and no body of men can be übiquitous. Six boys will erect a fence in a few minutes which -willmequire a party of men to be sent to pall it dowp, and one man aloro

could cause infinite annoyance to settlers, should he be so inclined. It is the absence of any sign of submission on tho part of To Whlti, which makes the aspect of affairs so very uncertain, and not only absence of submission but continued self-exertion and promis.e of further annoyance. The Koyal Commission in their third report state that thny know that Te Whitl has been made aware of the extent of the reserves proposed to be made for his people. The general opinion among tho European portion of the population is that these reserves are inadequately largo, but such lavish generosity does not seem to have had any ell'ect upon To Whiti, who, in his speech last month, iissertcd that no approach to a settlement of the question had been made; that no waters which had become muddy through his agency had been made clear, lie still asserts himself to be head of die Maori people, and will make no arrangement with any European who ia not the very first among the Europeans in the Islaud, which he takes to be the Governor. The terms of the " covenant " he wishes to ninke he will not diHclose, but this much is gathered from his speeches, that the Maoris 'must bo acknowledged as owners of the soil, when they will permit occupation by the European on certain terms to be arranged. A further stipulation is that uo European lawsaretouflecttheMaorics, buteachnation is to be independent of tho other, the Maories, however, to be really the dominant race, and lords of tho soil. Tim is quite enough for us to know, and it would appear that tho only way to bring such n man to rca on would be to make him suiter the same imprisonment which he has been ho willing to allow his followers to experience. Tc Whiti iv gaol would probably be a dillerent man to Te AVliiti at Pariuaka, sur rounded by his bullies und murderers, lis tened to by n host of fanatical followers blindly ready to do his bidding, and the llattcrcd recipient of innumerable presents from all autrounding tribes. So long as this man and his colleague Toliu aio at liberty, ho long shall wo havo troublo and annoy ance, unless it is thought advisablo to recommend the visit of the Governor to Parihaka, to degrade the vice-regal position by conference with au imprncticablc fanatic.

Tub Iron Duke had a soldier's horror of " little wars" which bring no military prostige, no accession of territory, and lo extension of British commerce. For many year*, however, tho empire hai hardly ever been without a war on her hands. The wars in Abyainula, Aehautco, Zululiiud, and Afghanistan, have followed each other in rapid succession, entailing an enormous sacrifice of men uiul material ami the expenditure of many millions of money, and now tho nation has an other "littlo war" in hand in Basuto land, with the imminent prospect of another in Burmah.- This small empire has a population variously estimated at from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000, nioitly Buddhists. Its capital is Mandalay, and its government hereditary and despotice. In 1323 the Burmese provoked a war with Great Britain, which lusted through the years 1824-25, and was renewed in 1852. In both cases it' terminated disastrously to the Burmese. In ISG2 the three maritime provinces of.Aracan, Pegu, aid Tcmnassoriiu, beyondLtho Gauge*, which had becu conquered from tho Burmese, were uuited under one local iuliuiui.s at ration, called tho chief Comiuissioccr ship of British Burmah. Undet the Treaty of 1807 certain powers of civil jurisdiction were conferred on the Bri tish agont at Mandalay; but in consequence of the action of the Burmese authorities, uud tho brutal tyranny of Thcebaw, tho English representative was withdrawn, and since then the relations of the nations have been strained. Bnrmah has only a small revenue, and an iudifiorcntly armed and disciplined military force. The strate gical advantages enjoyed by the Bri tish who occupy the sea-coast, and the most favourable positions for mili tary operation?, as well as tho immense resources of tho nation, would render the conquest of Burmah comparatively easy, and probably one of the first results of hostilities wonld be an insurrection against Thccbaw's Government.

We direct attention to the announcement in another column that Mr and Mrs Hart will give their highly amusing and success ful entertainment in the Theatre Iloyal for six nights only. The " Happy Hours," consisting of musical comedies, interspersed with a variety of character sketches, ballads, and dances in appropriate, cos tumes, is one pf the liveliest entertainments that we have hod the pleasure of visiting.

In another column may be seen a letter from the secretary, informing subscribers that the work of improving the Waiuku cemetery is completed, and that the treasurer and he only await the receipt of a few outstanding subscriptions to call a public meeting and submit a balance sheet. Will our friends take the hint?

At the weekly meeting of St. James's Association last night, two essays of a critical character were read, viz. :—one " Shakespeare's Macbeth," by Mr J. M.

Next Monday .evening a debate will take place upon the rather recondite question ■" Are the Fine Art* more pro gressive under a monarchy than under a JJerrSofracy " ? Messrs. Burton and'f'eltzer will be'tbc openers.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather last evening, the Artillery band moonlight excursion was postponed till to-morrow. Th 6 alteration had not been sufficiently announced, and a number of intending excursionists assembled on the wharf at the time fixed for the. start, but they were doomed to disappointment. The Artillery band will march down Queen-street to the Tongarirb with torches.

Further changes are spoken of in con nection with the Customs Department in Auckland. Mr Glasgow, landing surveyor, has been promoted to the position of chief clerk in the Commissioner's office, Wel lington, rendered vacant by the retirement of Mr William France.

The Good Samaritans repeated their excellent entertainment last night at the Young Men's Christian Association, for the'"benefit of Mrs. Kees. The Key. Mr. Dunn occupied the chair and prefaced the proceedings with a neat speech. The several ladien, Miss Bettany, Mrs. Goodison, and others gave songs; also, Messrs. Cartel1, Marsou, Goodison, and others acquitted themselves creditably. The wet night precluded many persons no doubt from attending, but those-, who were present passed a pleasant evening.l' In spite of the wet weather Professo* Fraser had a very fair audience at the Ota huhu Public Hall last evening, and his lecture on "how to succeed in life," was highly appreciated. The subject of his next lecture is " How to select a partner," a mat tor iv which Many ygungmenand womenere deeply interested, as shewn by the assiduous manner in which they are now attempting to solve the problem in their own way. The Professor will shortly pay a flying visit to Waikato, the Thames, and the North.

To the Editor : Sir,—l be STAR last week gave an outline of tho revised cab roles, and stated thnt tho Council have taken the opinions of several cab-owners. Who arc thoßO c»b proprietors whose cvidenco. has boon taken In Committee,with closed doors ? There arc men on the cab stands whose sav ings have becu invested in a cab which is to them a! living, and whoso interests pte totally opposite to large cab proprietors, whose orders from the stable, together with funerals and weddings, make their earnings a certain profit, while tho small fry play "catch who can" with' the otnujbusci owned by these same largocab proprietors. I tliink those men who have proved them, selves to be sober, industrious; and atten tive to their customers should be consulted. The evidence at the lato trial or excessive fare shows they are subject of disputes whoa Uiey aro right. The small fry have a voice, V)r ol«c let us have the evidence on wtidh the Committee; in the eight sittings, basfed their evidence,, then the public will see if any of our immaculate Couucil have a little axe to grind.—l am, &c, Hansom Cab. Joe Ernmott (Fritz) has ogam given way to his unfortunate habit of intemperance since bis release from an inebriate asylum and on tho applicatiou 4 of the wile a warrant was issued for his arrest on charge of being an habitual drunkard, and neglecting to pro perlycare forhie family, inorderthathc might be confined for a abort timo in some institu tion to correct his habits. No perfoiniaucc was given at tho Grand Opera-house, Han Francisco, owing to the inability of Emmctt to appear. After waiting vainly for over half-an-hour the actors and audience retired in disgust, the price of admittance being re funded to the Tatter. Such freaks on Era mctt's part having often occurred, his son.J. K. Emmott, Jr., made application for n warrant for actor's arrest, |The belief was expressed by the young man that if Emmctt weie confined for a short time in some insti tution he would be greatly benefitted. A "Tribune" roporter s-ade enquiries at tho hotel where the Emmettfamily were stopping, and he was informed that Emmett bad boon homo on the provious night and had not left tho houseainoo Tho employes of theopera house' were very' reticent on tho subject of Emmett'a " indisposition." When ques tioned, Mr Poole, tho manager, declared that no warrant had been applied for, and that Ebmett would be on the stage iv a day or two.

To the Editor : Sir,—Both to oblige the public and cam a living a cheap omnibus at the reduced fare of threepence has been planed on the Parneli road, but before the proprietor has oven'time discover Ufa true*p o3'tioa, the Pamell Council aio about to deal a death blow to his onterprize by imposing H licence fee of £5. Now add to thia £2 already paid to tho Auckland City Cbuncft,' It bring*1 it tip to the tuWof' £7, which means the 'bus must carry SGO pas senger^, before the proprietor, receives a farthing. But why, I ask, have tho Council dHarß«d;the fcaiue foe an theiAucklancJ: $ity Council, from the wheelbarrow up to «ie hackney carriage, and yet have made such an exception "with regard to the omnibus ffr All1 Vehicle* drawn by horse» except; the 'bus both councils demand £1, which I con siffcVbairig fair? The Auckland'Oity Council demand £2 for omnibuses, which is, also fair, but tor the Parneli Council to demand £6 is considered, oy most people, unjust and preposterous. In fact they seem to have a thirsting desire W tax and heap' burdona I on the over-taxed ratepayers, who will, I trust, bestir themselves and prevent" the crushing of enterprise and industry ; I also trust Vhey will strive to gVasp the power to disperse any representative who Abuses his power, and have him from his seat by fbrWand punish 'him'for-hi» 'insolence tob.

Master Kosser followed with a capital; recitation, delivered with confidence: 'Mis3i Spry then gavea solo, " We Parted by the iUver Side," and Mr Ward a recitation given in br6M Yorkshire, which caused great laughter. Mr King's reading was, well read. ; Thon'-canie the farourate singer, Miss Hirst, of that neighbourhood, with the touching song " Wrjere is Heaven," Master Bloomfield gave us a. recitation, "Hoys Rights." The choir was then called upon for a glee, "Home Sweet Home." A, recitation was given by Mastor D. Olphert; solo, " Waiting for the reply to ' Belle Mahone,'" by Mr Hatcher; solo, " Beauti ful Bells," by Mr King, wai applauded; recitation, by Miss Sloane, is worthy or. praise; comic reading, by Mr McMaatcr, caused great tramping and clapping. We must not omit to mention that Misses Hirst and Spry replied to the calls three or four times during the evening. Tho last was a comic song by Mr King, his own compoai. tion, which brought the house down. Great praise is due to Miss Newbold for presiding at the harmonium.

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE.

We would call the attention of our sub scribers to a circular issued by tho Commis sioner of the Government Insurance Department to its policy holders, distributed with this day's issue, a careful perusal of which will be found both beneficial and in teresting, not only to the policy holders of the department, but to all others1 who' are interested in the great question! ot life insurance. The com parison given in the circular—an extract of which We give herewith—of the result of the operation*! of tho department daring the, ten years of its existence, both as regards! the aniount of business obtained, the low' rate of expense of management, and the amount- of funds on hand, must be most gratifying, not only to its policy holders, but to the colonists as a whole, who are, if not directly, are in directly, benefitted in its success. The accumulated funds amount to £460,000; the'annual income exceeds £147.000; ex isting policies, nearly 12,000 in number, assuring over £4,100.000; total claims paid, nearly £140,000. The net surplus ascer tained at the end of the lint five years was upwards of £12,000. Tho.results of the department's business for the first ten years of its existence, now concluded, will be found to compare favourably with those of any British or Colonial lifo institution dur ing a similar period. The cost of manage ment for so young an office is decidedly lowyboing about 15 percent, of the premium income (considerably less than the loading or margin provided for such expenditure) j while the rate of interest realised is in ex cess of that assumed in the calculations. During the year ended 30th June last 2,274 policies were issued, assuring £725,254. The death claims for the year amounted to £32,500, assuring 67 persons under 78 poli cies. Further information on the business aod, prgruiums of the office will be found in he circular. .imhi*i>s>j

Uo should like to know hovt tho Secretary got possession of the statements'in his paper, and-by what authority Ko roiwl it. Mr l*'enton al»o re ferred at some length to a telegram sent to Wellington, signed by the Secretary, in reply to Sir George O'Korke, who tele graphed tb know in what respect the bill was offensive —Col. Haultain aud Mr Dargaville considered that the Secretary had done no more than his duty. On the receipt of the telegram, the secretary went to Dr Camp bell and several other members of the Board, and he simply signed their order.—Mr J)ar gaville thought further that the officer should have the chance of replying to the charge.—Mr Clark also made some remarks showing that tbc Secretary could not be' held responsible under the circumstances.— Mr Fenton said what he had done in pro moting the bill was with the best possible views, lie was astonished to find the strong opposition which prevailed agaiust the bill. Uc must, however, urge that Mr James, or any other officer, x could noj sign uny telegram or do as lie had done without j the assent ot a meeting of the Board.—Col i Haultain hoped that '-. all unpleasantness - touching the: bill had passed away. The )Board ViH fiot approve of the bid bilji aiifl numerous amendments were made and uothiug. more was known of i(s late".' The I fact that a new bill' was introduced' at Wellington was a matter of surprise; to some of the new members of the Board. — The Chairman asked if the Board, would ■ allow Mr James to explain in reeara to His act at the Choral Hall.—The Hoard hsving consented, Mr James briefly stated that he! was desired to do. so .by. Uie.Bew Mr Bruce, and he read the paper as a simple act of obedience to the Chancellor of the- Univer sity. The paper wfls merely a list of the names of students who had obtained degrees' at the University. He returned the paper to Mr Brace. He had no wish to act in. opposition to tho wishes of the Board ~', ,' !
