Correspondence.

ANGLO-ISRAEL AND AFGHAN ISRAEL.

(To the Edilor.)

giKj—l have intentionally abstained from any notice of the "Identity" mania, but one or two points in the letter of "Anglo- Israel" call for some comment I desire to thank the Bishop for removing a misappre hension which others shared with me, but I will assuredly not attribute;.', him the in tentionwhichAriglo-Rracl'secs in his lecture, for I cannot think that any iiiiti who knows the facts could have the audacity to affirm that England has been forced into the msny little wars that so tarnish her history. To see a man writing in this age, invoking God as the patron of his nation's armies, and re garding all the r*st of the world as brigands and thieves is rather sad, aud suggests ad vising "Anglo-Israel " (if it were the sligh test use) to sp*ire a little time from Daniel for Christ, whoso plainly rebukes ambition, the lust of war, aud commercial greediness. Whatever god may have inspired Beueor-s ---field, it is certainly not the God of whom Cluist is " the express uiicge of his person,1' nor the God who dwells Willi him " who is of a contrite and humble spiiit," wLibj the fiuit of this inspiration iv the massnere of Afghan-Israel by Kaxor.-Israel (the Afghans having quite as good a claim to tha title as the Saxon) reminds us much in^re forcibly of certaiu times long past when Israel did not live vory peaceably at home, thin of more modern and brighter times of wliich the prophet says " Epbraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Epbraim," I think, sir, it wo want to bring all religion into contempt there is hardly a..better wiry of doing it than by putting on to God the responsibility and guilt of England's worst deed?. "Anglo-Israel" says he does not know what I moan hy thero being no need for war now. J think he ought to know; ho ought to know that international authority could as effectually sat aside the duelling of nations as our domestic police has sup pressed personal encounters ; nnd he ought to know that tlie anti-christian war spirit is mainly kindled by the national conceit and intolerance breathed throughout hia letter. —I am &c, Samuel Edcek.

CAB FARES

(To the Editor),

Sir, —Your correspondent forgets to state that Btraugers, who aie generally most easily imposed upon, are not able to waste time in writing to the Inspector ot Carriages and waiting nutil the driver is summoned, while a far easier plan, I would suggest, would be to refuse payment of fare, if over charged, and give nanio and address to the driver, who, 1 believe, cau make a complaint at any time, before any magistrate sittings without waiting for a aumcoip. "Cabby" ia not quite right in the matter of charges. The by-law states, "If taken out of the city (not if the person returns back) fare to stand at the rate of six mites per hour chargeable," so that a hansom going to One hunga be time would be entitled to pay ment of about 9s, with a further charge of Is for each quarter-hour detention. This does not quite tally with the distance-fare, but I do not think it is about the lor.g distauee fares disputes arise, Very few per sons would object to 10s or 12s to go to Onehunga and back. It is iv the short d'stances alone that Auckland bears suih an unfavorable comparison with other places. Some cabmen will stay all day idle ioon*r*lhan take a fare, or make state ments that they are engaged whrfii they are not, or that Ihcy need not go out of the city, and in various tricky ways bring discredit ou thc*r class. 1 do not say itis so with all by any means, but tbat there aro such, nobody will heboid enough to deny. The occupation is at times an arduous one, but nut more so than many other avocations, and if a man gets the "name of being civil, obliging, and honest, he will always get a good trade to gether and keep it, and the less oE a sea lawyer he is the belter.—Yours, &c, The Oihui Side.

WASTE LANDS BOARD.

Tho fortnightly meeting of the Waste Lands Board was held this afternoon, tnere being present : Mes«rs. D. A. Tolc (Crown Lands Commissioner), J. C. Firth, W. P. Moat, J. May, B. Touks, and Dr Campbell. The Lincolnshire Delegates.— A letter was received from Messrs Grant and Foster, requesting as a further favonr from tbe Board, the temporary reservation of a block of 7000 acres of land on the eastern bank of the Waihon, making 17,000 acres in all. Captain Steele had been deputed to net for them.—Mr Firth thought the intro duction of settlers of the class proposed a matter of great importance to the whole colony, aid every facility should be offered for the carrying out of Ihe [pre ject. The gentleman then went on to refer to some editorial comments in tbo Lyttel ton "Times" which bad recently been made with reference to the Board's compli ance with Messrs Grant and Foster's appli cation, and its refusal of that received from Mr F. Louch. He pointed cut that the Lincolnshire delegates had been in treaty with the Board for some time previous to the receipt of Mr Louch's .communication, and that too, tho mater had beon decided before this gentlemvt'a application came up for consideration.— This explanation having been endorsed by the C'.mmnai, it was formally agreed to reserve tho additional area 0f7,000 acres. Homestsad Selection.-Mr Robert Houston, Mongonui, wrote suggesting means for the removal of certain difficulties experienced by land selectors under the Homestead Act. One suggestion which had reference to road lines it was agreed to bring under the notice of the Surveyor- General. , , .. Te AKOAA.-Mr Firth considered it advisable that Mr T. Russell's claim to a part of the Te Aroha block should be con tested by the Board. He therefore moved, "That the attention of the Govern ment be drawn to the matter of securingaiuladjustment of Mr Russell's claim over Te Aroha land in ord<=r that no diffi culty may arise 'in the way of Messts Grant and Foster's scheme.—Mr J. May thought that even apart from a consideration of Mr Grant and Mr Foster's projected sett'ement it was advisable tbat Mr Russell's claim should be settled.—The motion was agreed to.

Raglan,— It wai resolved that Ii .If t:e area of a4OOO-acre block at Raglan should be set apart for selection under the deferred payment system, and that ihe remainder should be put up to auction at an upset price of 15s per aero. Bay of Islands.—Seven settlers (two families)of this district, wrote for permission to take up a small bkek, under the provi sions of the Homestead act —Referred to the Chief Surveyor. The remainder of the business was pos sessed of but slight importance.

[FROM OUR OTO COEEESI'ONDEKT,]

DUNEDIN, this day. BUTLER COMMUTED FOR TRIAL. BUTLTiit wa-i committed for trial for murder. Be begged the public and the press not to be influenced by the prejudice attempted to be cleared against him, and reserved his defence. Be charged Inspector Milliard with attempting to influence the public prejudicially, and male a long statement ou the subject.

THE SUEZ MAIL.

('< European Mail," Fe:

18. 13th.)

The new mail contract does not give satisfac tion and it ii understood that the question will shortly como before Parliament. That portion of the British public who write oc casional letters to their fiiendsanJ relations iv the colonies complain that they have now to pay 7d for a letter and Hd for a paper, as against Cd and Id when tlie South ampton route was in vogue, and thai; it is estimated that the correspondence of these peoplo amounts ro something liiie £10,000 a year, it is clear that they are entitled to a voice in the matter. Then the Orient Com pany complain, ami not without reason, that they have been, and continue to be, most unfairly treated by the Post Oilice authorilies. 'The P. & O. Company has a subsidy of £65,000 per year for carryiug the tuaili between Galle aud Australia. Tbo Orient Company is compelled to carry the letters at the rate of one penny e;:ch. Owing to the fog the CbimLoiazo waa one day l_t*j iv leaving London, and, conse quently, one day .lato at Plymouth. On her arrival at tho latter port there were no less than S3 sacks of mails, containing 69,000 letters and 20,629 newspapers—tho largest number ever taken out by any .steamer of the line—waiting to bo put on board. It is to be remembered that although the postage of a letter should amount to 10s, the Orient Compauy receive only Id, while the Post Oilice retains 9s lid,

THE EUCALYPTUS

There is likely to be a great demand for the Australian eucalyptus before long. 14. Kudolli reports, in the "Guzzotta Medica Italiana," the following observation made on himself. Being seized with a ecTcro coryza, ho happened to chew one or two twigs of tho eucalyptus, at tho same timo swallowing the saliva secreted, which had a bitter aud aromatic flavour. To his sur prise lie found that iv the course of half an hour the nasal catarrh had disappeared. Some days later ho was seized with another attack from a fresh exposure to cold, when the same treatment was followed by au equally fortunate result. He then pre scribed the remedy to several of bid patients, all of whom were benefitted in the same way. Lie believes that this troatmcut is oily suitablo in acute cases.

A MASONIC DISCOVERY.

According to the " New York Herald," Lieutenant Commander Gonioge, in re moving the foundations of the Cleopatra Needle, lias made a discovery which cuunot fail to throw much light not only on the origiu of Freemasonry but also upou the ancient mysteries of Hiram, o«iris,aml IsP, Por the first time there lias beeu diacovered under a public monument—aud one, more over, erected 22 years before the Christian lira —the arrangement of a .Masonic found ation. This foundation discloses, b?yond any doubt, the ancieut organisation of a Masonic Lodge—the emblems, principles, and customs of which arc identical with those to-day made use of throughout the four quarters of the globe. It is extremely probable that the Freemasons of ancient Egypt have left traces, which have never been examined carefully, or from a Masonic point of view. It is most likely that if ex cavations were made about tho buses of the fallen obelisks of Upper Egypt—obelisks fallen from the result of age, and not pulled down by 1 lie caprice of the Roman or Byzantine Empeiors, who would hwe also probably destroyed the foundations—such excavations would be crowned with the most important results.

ROMANTIC ABDUCTION

A Pomantic Abduction Case has just been before the Long Stratton magistrates, Norfolk. Tbe evidence showed that, six years ago, Harriet Ann Biggs, of Tharoton, who possesses considerable charms and aud £3,000, was courted by James Pitcher, a farmer, whom she then loved. Her mother, dependent upon her, broke oft' the engagement. A correspondence re-com menced last March, when Pitcher asked her to run away. Sho refused. Pitcher wrote to the mother that he did not waut the money, but would have the daughter by fair means or foul. Some anonymous correspondence received by the mother weaned Miss Biggs from her love. Nothing more was seeu of 'Pitcher (ill tho other night, when a man took a letter for the mother, and while she was opening it, seized and covered her with a shawl, while another man dragged the young woman, who was barefooted, into the road, and, notwithstanding shrieks of "Mur der 1" put her into, a cart breught out of a meadow. The girl's uncle was seized by a man, aud had his head thrust into a fence until the cart was driven oil. Miss Piggs was taken twelve miles distant by Pitcher to a cottage, where she stayed with him three nights, and ot his dictation wrote a letter to her mother saying it wur upo tbe police going after them, as she loved Pitcher, and would till deatb. When she wrote that she did not mean it. Considering into whose hands she had fallen, she would have married if a license could have been obtaiucd. Pitcher was remanded ou the charge of carrying tho woman off by force against her will, with intent to marry her, and Thomas ElTin, who drove the cart, for aiding and abetting. Other persons will be apprehended.

THE SALVATION.

Ihe Salvation Army has just inherited a considerable sum of money. Miss Harvey, an eccentric elderly lady, living in Spencer street, I camiugtou, died on February 1. She gave personally to Captain May cock, of the Salvation Army, who obtained some notoriety through being fined and impri soned for obstructing the streets, £300, and £1,200 mere for the local cause, in cash. She has likewise left him the house in which she resided, audbequeathed£loootoGeneral Booth, the General of the Salvation Army, for the cause generally. She had given the Wesleyans (Oice £4,000.

THE QUEEN'S SHILLING,

The abolition of tho Queen's shilling, it seems, is regarded with considerable dis favour in the recruiting districts, and the authorities at Woolwich go so far as to de clare that 50 per cent, of promising recruits are lost to the service—and to them—by the new regulation. Formerly, so soon as a man, whether in his sober senses or muddled with drink, accepted the Queen's shilling, he had entered into a recognised engagement to Eervo Her Majesty, and he could only get oft the bargain by paying smart money to the amount of a guinea. Now the farce of tendering a shilling to bind the man has been abolished, and, until tbe recruit is brought before the magistrate and subscribes to the oath, the country has nolegalclaim upon him.The consequence is, of course, that wo lose a number of men, for many, whose martial aspirations have been red-hot over night, turn out very sober-minded beings in tlie morning, and when the sergeant musters the roll he finds half his gallants ready to cry off their bar gain. The short-sarvicc regulations, which call upon a man to serve in the line only from three to six years, and afterwards a certain period in the reserve, have neces sitated every year an increase in the num ber of recruits required ; and instead of 17,000, the total called for ton years ago to maintain our standing army, we now want yearly some 35,000. But whatever the difficulty in obtaining recruits, we shall never sauclion the payment of the Queen's shilling again. DESTRUCTION OF THE DUBLIN THEATRE ROYAL. The Dublin Theatre Eoyal was comple tely destroyed by fire on February 9th. The fire was caused by a workman allowing the (lame of a dip candle to come in contact with the lace curtains which he was tacking np in the "Vice-regal box, which was being prepared for the mid-day performance about to be in aid of the distressed poor in Dublin, and which was to have been attended by the Lo;d Lieutenant and the Duchess of Marlborough. It was hardly teu minutes before the whole stage was in a blaze Six people lost their lives by the catastrophe, among them being Mr Bur ton the acting manager. Shortly after the fire'broke out he was observed acting in a most courageous manner in trying to check the fire and in endeavouring to save the books. He was last seen to rush on the stage where, shortly after, the lire spread furiously. It is believed that at that period the stage gave way, and that he fell beneath. The property master, Mr Hum phreys also perished in the fire, besides Mr Wilkes, his assistant, and three others, in cluding one female, a charwoman. Ihe amount of property destroyed is estimated at £40,000. During the progress of the lire the mob stole the dresses, and amused oue another |by dressing up in them. On the roof of Trinity College were large numbers 'f-tul-'i's -oineofwhora threw fireworks

and money into the crowd below. 'I he lire brigade seem to have been quite over matched. Altogether th? calamity—with its serious lossof I'fe in the theatre and the boisterous fan going on outside- seem to .suggest that the whole method of treating fires iv Dublin, reeds to be reorganised, and that our London system of keeping the crowds back and leaving the work of deal ing with the lire to the fireman might advan tageously be fadopted ia tho Irish capi tal.

THE IRISH DISTRESS,

Tho distress is still very great, notwith standing the exertions of the Duchess of Marlborough aud the Lord Mayor of Dublin to relievo the suffering poor. Acute, how ever, as it is in some districts, it docs not

affect, on the whole, a very iar;;e part of the country or of the population, Ample supplies, it is ailirmed, of food and fuel are te be obtained in the chief centre, when ever the necessity for the intervention cf the Executive may arise, and with existing means of rapid intercommunication aid may be carried to those who stand in need of it without delay, 'lire lending of money on easy terras to landlords, to sanitary author ities, and to baronial presentment sessions will, it is hoped, assist iv keepiiu' the peasantry employed at fair wages during the trying period immediately before us. At the last meeting of the Dublin Mausiou House Committee subscriptions were an-

nouueed, including £4,300, through iho Union Hank of Australia, £1,000, through tho Londou Joint-Stock Hank trom .Sydney, £300, through the Mayor of Newcastle-on- Tyne, and £1,000, through the Bank of ii'ew Zealand, Christchureh. Tli3 .special thanks of the committee were accorded. It was stated that the subscrrptiom received (exclusive oi promises by telegram arid otherwise) amounted to £49,188 19s Id, aud the grants made £20,149, leaving a balanco iv hand of £29,039 19s 7d. The Pope has sent £100, to each of the four Roman Cath olic archbishops in aid of the distress.

In the House of Commons ou February 12tb, Sir Michael llicks-Boacu said there was no intention to extend British jurisdic tion over New Guinea,.

The Sultan has directed his second son and the liceoud sen of his predecessor lo enter the ranks of a regiment of Body Guards as privates.

The French Minister in Washington has informed Mr Evarts that Franco has no con cern or participation in the movements of M. do Lcsscps, whose project regarding the Panama Canal is of au entirely private character.

RUSSIA,

The introduction of the German Army Bill has given a fresh fillip to Kussian military enthusiasm, Reports from the frontier state that among the numerous legions occupying Poland the cry "To Vienna 1" is varied by the even more ambitious motto "To Berlin I" The Gov ernment more thau tolerate ihisenterprising disposition oi the military, though probably in uo hurry to engage iv warlike adventures. They constantly add to the Polish garrisons, aud tire providing the menus for rapid e<in ccutratiou. A new fortified camp is being formed at Radoiu. There is a marked dilierence in the language of the Russianand Prussian press iv reference to Her Majesty's Speech from the throve. While the Russian p.ess, headed by the " Colos" professes lo laugh at the '''insignificance" of the Minis terial declarations, the Berlin Government "Norddeutcbo Zeiluug" and its indepen dent contemporaries agree in looking upon Lord Bcaconstield's altitude as the result of legitimate and conscious strength. The new Army Pill will enable Germany to increase tho number or men she can bring into the field, iv the event of mobilisation, from 2,500,000 to 3,100,000. The expendi ture of the German Empire iv 1880, being estimated at 544.585, 184 matks, surpasses that of the current year by 56,804,829 marks. A new 12-pouuder gun and a large quantity of projectiles are mentioned among the com missions now being executed.

THE NEW ZEALAND LOAN AND MERCANTILE AGENCY COMPANY (LIMITED).

The fifteenth annual ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held on February G, Mr A. J. Aluu della, M.P., in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the net prolit for the year, iucltihive of £3,824 4s 2d brought forward from the preceding financial year, was £53,215 14* 2d, of which the directors recommended the following appropriation, viz:—To payment of a dividcud at the rate of 10 cent, per annum, and in terest ou culls paid in advance on old per share's, £30,000 12s -Id; payment of bonus at 5 per cent., £14,984 lis 8d : Jand that the balance, £3,170 10s 2d, be carried forward. Iv July last an ad interim divi dend was paid at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, amounting, with iutcre&t on calls paid iv advance, to £14,353 l_i lOd, so that there w*s now left for distribution the sum of £30,086 lis 2d. 'Hie chairman said the past year had been a very trying year for the colony of New Zealand. The harvest of IS7S wus a deficient one, and tho winter waa one of unexampled severity, which produced a great mortality among the slice]), and also a depreciation to some extent in the quality of the wool. Concur rentlyjwith this deficiency of the staple produce of the colony, the price of wool aud grain ruled exceedingly low, which was of itself sufficient to produce depression in, and loss to, the colony, and this be was sorry to tay was aggravated by the concur rent" commercial depression and distrust which resulted from the stringency of the money market, which was the reflection of the state of our financial affairs ac home. He was glad, however, to say, that while the last year had not left them entirely un scathed with regard to loss, their business had been growing aud profitable. The number of bales ]of wool consigned to the company in 1874 was 24,493 aud ,in the past year 83,906. This company was now in fact the largest wool importers, not only from the colonies, but from the whole world. The same characteristic which marked their wool, which after all was their great Jstaple, applied to every other branch of their busi ness. The number of thoir constituents in creased year by year, and during tho past year the increase had been very |great. He was glad to meet them with a balance-sheet which showed an aggregate of gross profits as larsze as those of the preceding year, which were thelargest iv the history of the company. It was not times of prosperity that tried an institution like that, but times of adversity; and although he did not speak of last year as being altogether a period of adversity, yet it was a year which was trying to the whole of the Australian colonies, In con clusion, he moved that the report and accounts be received and adopted. Mr Abraham seconded the motion. The time, he said, ho thought had arrived when the company might with advantago to itself extend its operations, and for that purpose should increase its capital. Por himself he should be glad to double his holding. The motion was then put and carried unani mously, and a dividend at the rate of ten per cent, for the half-year ending December 31st, 1879, with a bonus of five per cent, free of income tax, was afterwards declared. The meeting was then made special for tho purpose of considering, and, if thought fit, of carrying resolutions altering tho articles of association iv certain respects.^ The resolutions were all agreed to, the principal alterations they effected being to give a vote in respect of each share, instead of for every full number of ten shares, to iucrcase tbe qualification of the directors from 100 shares to 500, and to provide that the re striction as to the amount to be raised or borrowed by the directors shall not apply to advances made by bankers. The proceed ings closed with a vote of thanks to Mr Mundella for his conduct iv the chaii.

VV". It. Davics and Allan McCarthy, were also charged with stealing a suit of clothes, value £5, on the 23rd ult., property of James Harris.

Tho prisoners pleaded not guilty. William Harris deposed that he was a tanner, working atjthe Whau : the two pri soners were shipmates of his ; they were unemployed and came to him; he took them in, supported and lodged them. Ou the morning in question after he had gone to his work", the prisoners loft. On return ing, he missed his clothes, shoes, shirts, aud walking-stick. Henry C.

To Sub-Inspector Tardy : He was in his employ for three weeks. McCarthy was in the habit ot getting drunk. Win. Crowe spoke to McCarthy's char acter, lie had known him for three months, lie had seen him drunk several time*.

The prisoner is tho man who took the gun. John Smith, fishmonger of the Whau, deposed to having tho gun In his possession, left by -Mr Crowe. George Kvitt, gunsmith, gave evidence shewing that prisoner called at his shop and offered the gnu for sale ; said it was his own properly ; called himself Dr. Charles Dignaii ; gave him £-1 10s for it; he signed a receipt, I o prisoner : He should consider tho gun to be worth six guineas :it was what is called a keeper's gun. Constable Stratheru gave evidence as to the arrest of the prisoner at the Auckland Hotel.

This boing tho evidence the depositions were read over to the prisoner, who made a brim' statement in his defence; to the effect that he aud -McCarthy got drunk, and that McCarthy got £2 of the proceeds ot the ea'o of the gum. The act was committed under the influence of drink ; he had testi monials from gentlemen of high station, eminent iv physic and letters, aud he hoped the Court would deal summarily with liis offences.

His Worship characterised the robbery of the clothes as shameless and ungrateful, after having been supplied and sheltered by Mr Harris ; and for this affence they rauet each take four months' imprisonment with hard labour; and, Davis for stealing tho gum must take eijjht additional mouths with hard labour.

FOBGING AND UTTEKINO. Charles Johnson was brought up on two charges of forging and uttering cheques — the first for the sum of £3, purporting to be drawn by Mr W. A. Graham, with in tent to defraud Alexander Aley, watch maker ; the second for £5, with intent to defraud C. G. Schwartze.

Sub-Inspector Pardy conducted the pro sedition.

The evidence of Mr W. A. Graham was taken, being simply a denial of the signa tures to the cheques.

Cail Gustav Schwartze, watchmaker, of Queen-street, deposed that the prisoner called upon him and asked him to cash a cheque for £5. Knowing Mr Graham, and having some knowlcdgo of prisoner, who had beeu staying at the Albert Hotel, and who was regarded as a man of means, he cashed the cheq tie, and on presenting it at the New Zealand Bank, found thee was no account. Prisoner said he wanted some money it being St Patrick's day, and Mr. Caulton was gone to the races, or he would not trouble witness.

The second charge was proceeded with viz. that of presenting a cheque for £3; with intent to defraud.

Edward M'll", assistant to Mr Aloy, watchmaker, deposed that he knew pris oner by sight; no came into the shop at 7 o'clock, on the eveniug of tho 10th March. Mr Aley was not in; prisoner wanted to look at a gold watch which was in the win dow, it was marked £5 5s he next inspected several silver watches, English and Geneva; he selected a silver watch from the counter, £5 ss. He then presented the cheque for £8 in payment. (Produced marked A.) That is the cbc_.iC he said it was Mr Graham's cheque. Mr Graham being a brother to Mr James Gralnmof the colonia office. He accepted the cheque in good faith and gave him the difference, £2 15s He said he whs a gentleman and staying at the Albert Hotel.

James Dalgleish, ledger-keeper, of the Colonial Rank of New Zealand, gave evi dence of the cheques being presented, but no such person as W. A. Graham had an account at the Rank.

Detective Jeffrey prceuted the cheques, and found " no account" in both instances. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was fully committed for trial. This was all the business.
