Anglo-Colonial Notes.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT),

LONUON, September 9. THOUGH Sir Bartle Frore seeais to havo been extremely popular with a certain sec tion of the Cape Coloniat3, and meetings have been held iv many places to express public regret at his departure, this need not embarrass his successor. Sir Hercules Robinson is too well-known and appreciated to suffer for tho merits of his predecessors, though he may be troubled by his miatakes in policy. Sir Michael Hicks Beach graciously expressed his approval of the ap pointment, saying that " Sir Hercules Kob.nson was an experienced and success ful Governor. Ho had no doubt he was the best man to send." Most people consider that the Government would have been wiser to recall Sir Bartle Frere at ouce than keep him there all these months—as Sir M. Hicks Beach expressed it—with a rope round his neck." To this Lord Kimberley and Mr Grant Duff reply that until the re jection of the Confederation measure by the Cape Parliament, Sir Bartle Frere had not had a fair trial. The Zulu War was con demned in sufficiently strong terms in March, 1579, by the present Government, then in opposition, and they had no more to add. It is impossible now to leave the Transvaal to its discontented Boers, and the best must be made of a bad bargain. Lord Kimberley has merely carried out the policy of his predecessor in office. One writer in the "Times" writes very strongly on the duty of self-defence : "We must go to the root of the matter, and insist that the South African colonies shall, to the fullest exteut, become responsible for their own defence. If the colonists are dis inclined to perform this duty in the manner in which the Act of 1877 provides, they muat devise some other way." "The colonists are impatient of Imperial interference ; they are as imperative in demanding to bo allowed to manage the natives in their own Way as if a tew thousands of Europeans possessed the fee simple of tho Continent, But when it comes to a question of defend ing themselves, they fall back upon the Imperial connection." "South Africa will not be secured against native dangers until the colonies possess a military force ot tbeir own able to cope with any menacing com binations."

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

The papers are requested to announce that the Frinco of Wales has been compelled by his numerous engagements to abandon, with much regret, the project of visiting the Australasian Colonies ou the occasion of the Melbourne Exhibition. Hia Royal Highness had greatly desired to carry out thi3 arrangement, if circumstances had permitted. Tho "Times" has a leading article on the announcement, and seems only surprised that tho Prince should ever have thought it possible to visit you this year. Though the great works of the colonies have at least as much claim on the notice of Royalty as the docks and town halls he opens here, space is not as yet annihilated, and three months of transit is more than one of the most hard worked men in Her Majesty's dominions can at present spare from the numerous and pressing claims on his time. At the same time we cannot be regret the circumstance. Vic toria, as becomes its name, has been so unfailingly loyal, and we may well be proud that one of our colonies can vote £330,000 for an Industrial show.

FRENCH ANNEXATION OF TAHITI.

The full account of this proceeding has only just bpen published here, and creates considerable surprise. The " Standard " says "The most unpleasant fact about the transaction is the secrecy with which it has been conducted. There is something about it that seems to require explanation." No mention of the fact has been made in the French Chamber, and no diplomatic inti mation of this manoeuvre has been given. The " Temps," a paper devoted to the interests of M. de Freycinet, giveß a detailed account of the annexation. The speech of King Pomare V is in the most flowery style of French eloquence. After explaining his motives for desiring a French Protectorate hia Majeaty concludes " Our resolution, I am certain, will be received with joy by those who love Tahiti, and who Bincerely desire its progress. We arc already French in heart: to-day we become so in reality. Vive la France I Vive Tahiti 1" The " Temps " congratulates the natives on ac quiring equal rights with a citizen of Paris.in a style worthy of Augustus Ca.sar granting the Romans franchise. Will King Pomare come over himself to represent it in Parliament ?

FIRE NEAR DRURY.

Yesterday, at about 12 o'clock, a fire broke out in tbo Northumberland Hotel, about six miles south of Drury, and in a short time the building was completely destroyed, nothing being saved. The men who resided on the premises were away at their work with a son of Mr Rutherford, who owned the building. It consisted of two storeys, contained 12 apartments, and was insured in the South British for £400. The hotel was built about 12 years ago, and was com pletely renovated in 1878 by Mr Watson, brewer, when an application was made for a license, but refused, and the place has aince been used as a private residence. Mr Rutherford, senr., was in Auckland at the time ofthe fire, but has receivedintelligence by telegram and mail from his son, who arrived on the scene too late to save any of the property.

It ia a long whilo alncc tho pumio of Auck land have had a bankrupt stock offored them but tho disappearance of J. B.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The entertainment given by tho Harts at the Theatre Royal last evening was of a most appreciable description, Tbe first part of the programme consisted ofthe comedy "Double Dealings," by Mr and Mrs Hart, assisted by their daughter at the pianoforte. Mrs Hart's " Galvanic Tommy " created considerable amusement and the performance had to be repeated. The first part of tho programme concluded with Mrs Hart's Terpsichorean speciality "The Highland Fling," after which the audience were treated to "Molly's Dilemma," which was admirably enacted nufl deservedly applauded. Tho several sohsrs, and duets rendered during tho even ing by Mr and Mra Hart were of a choice description and very well performed. Mr Hart takes his benefit to-night, and an extraordinary programme has been got up for the occasion. Those of our readers who have not already visited the Hart's entertainment should take advantage of the remaining opportunity to do so this evening.

ENTERTAINMENT AT LORNE STREET HALL.

The concert and ball for the benefit of Mrs Arnold, who was so cruelly beaten by the savage, Joo, was well patronised last evening iv the Lome-street Hall. Several ladies, who felt that the poor old woman had been apparently left out in the cold, determined to spare no effort to raise a few pounds if possible for the benefit of Mrs Arnold, A number of ladies and gentle, men at onco volunteered their services, and the result was an excellent entertainment. The following programme was successfully represented:—A selection by the Artillery- Band, under the conductorship of Band master Hunter; song, " Old England," by Mr Goodison, well rendered; " The Bridge," (Longfellow) Miss Gribble ; " Sympathy," a recitatiOD, clearly and care fully given by Miss Goodacre; song, " Jessie's Dream," Mrs Cottingham ; read ing by Mr Blackman, "The Widow of Remuera," (original) in which special refer ence was made to the attack ou the widow j Arnold, and" the responding sympathies of the people " when a case of distress calls for aid."

GRAMMAR SCHOOL GOVERNORS.

The Board of Governors of the Auckland College and Grammar School met this morning. Present:—Sir G. M. O'Rorko (in the chair), Messrs J. M. Dargaville, J. M. Clark, F. D. Fentou, nnd Colonel Haul tain.

Vacancies.—Letter from Mr W. W. Marshall, registrar, stating that circulars would be issued to Fellows of tho Univer sity, calling upon them to nominate threo persons to fill tlio vacant posi-

tious in tho Auckland College and Grammar School Board of Governors,— The Chairman stated that these circulars

hill been issued.-It was agreed that Mr Maskcll be informed that the .Returning Ollicer under tlio Act is Mr John James.— Tbo Secretary was instructed to apply to the Government for a dozen copies of tho Act.

PLATFORM.—Letter from Mr Macrae, Head Master of tlio school, asking that a permanent platform bo erected in tho school at a cost of £s.—Application granted. School Managuhbi. _.—Lettor from Sir Julius Vogel, stating that ho has sent a request to Dr. Abbott, of the City of London School, for information on this subject. The gentleman had not been able to devote attention to the matter up till the date of the letter, but ho would do so aa soon as possible.—Letter received with thanks. SALARY.—Mr William St. Clair Tisdall claimed amount of salary up till dato of resignation, and it was agreed that half mouth's salary bo voted. Returns.—On the motion of Mr Darga villc, it was agreed that a return of the terms upon which all the officers of tho Board aro engaged bo submitted at the next meeting. Day of MEETIHQ.—On tho motion of Mr F. D. Fentou, it was agreed that tho date aud time of meeting be altered from Thursday at 2 p.m. to the last Tuesday of the month at 9.45 a.m. Tenders.—lt was announced that two teuders had been received for fitting up the Board rooms at the school as a lavatory, viz : -Marlitt, £25 ss; Connelly, £27. Tho lower tender of the two was accepted. Bkpairs to Chapel-street.—lt waa decided that two houses in Chapel-street should be reshinrfed and repaired. Services of Engineer.—lt was agreed that Mr Dargavillo ascertain from Mr All right on what terms he would bo willing to supervise repairs to tbo property of the Board.

Position of the Board.—On the ques tion of allowing Mr Hamlin's mortgage to remain out, Mr Dargaville made some re marks on the position of the Board. The account at the bank was now overdrawn to tho oxtont of £270, and they were now to he asked to pay accounts which would increase the overdraft to more than £700. Tho Board had been placed iv this position by tbe large expenditure incurred in the erection of the new grammar school, and ho there-

fore thought they were justified in calling npon the Government to refund the £3,000 spent on the building.—Col. Ilaultain said

the Finance Committee would probably be able to submit to the Boardatthenext meeting a statement of its financial position. The expenditure laat year exceoded receipts by £2b'o, but some valuable leases had since

fallen in. The Board had also been obliged to call in several mortgages in order to assist in defraying the cost of the now school.—The Chairman suggeatcd that the example of a Cantorbury school, which increased its fees 50 per cent, bo adopted. In that case, tho trustees pleased themselves by their action in a good iiuancial position. — Mr Fenton thought that everyono should bo "stopped " ten percent.—On the motion of Mr Clark, it was agreed that tho request to allow the money to remain on mortgage bo not granted.

Establishment of Boarding-house.— This question was then introduced. Col. Ilaultain said Mr Wrigley had offered to build a house, aud Mr Lusk had offered to give up his. Several masters had offered to

take boarders, the highest charge being that of Mr Tomlinson, £100 each per annum. It was stated that the charge at Nelson was £60, and at Wellington, £70 or £SO. — The Chairman said it would not do to carry out his ideas of a boarding establishment, if each master had several ideas. Ho thought a house Rhould be rented in the suburbs, and placed under the charge of one| off the teachers.— Colonel Ilaultain said a house had been advertised for some time ago, but none of the applications were considered suitable.— Mr Fenton suggested that the old Immigra tion Barracks be fitted up for the purpose. He thought it would form a very suitable building.—Tho Chairman considered it was a disgrace to Auckland that settlers had to send their sons down South in order that they might bo properly boarded and edu cated.—Mr Fenton thought, with its natural advantages for boating and outdoor games and the invigorating and healthful climate, Auckland should attract boys from Southern cities, and even Sydney.—Mr Dargaville drew the attention of the Board to the fact that the boarding establishment in connection With the Colleges at Welling ton and Nelson wero not only self supporting, but also profitable.—Mr Clark suggested that a site be procured in the Domain; while Mr Fenton opined that it was not improbable that the present survey office could 'be obtained.—Mr Dargaville objected fo the locality, aud thought that a more healthy one might bo procured.— Eventually Mr J. M. Clark and Colonel Ilaultain were appointed to ascer tain whether a suitable house could be ob tained, and to enquiro in regard to tho terms.

Voting by Ballot.—Mr F. D. Fenton moved a resolution to the effect that the attention of the Government be called to clause 6 of the Act of last session, and that they be requested to consider whether it is not expedient that a new regulation should be made, and whether in such regulation the principle of voting by ballot should not be abandoned.—The resolution was seconded and agreed to.

Playground.—The question of a play ground for the school was referred to the committee appointed to ascertain particu lars regarding tho boarding establish ment.

Sundries for School.—The Janitor wrote asking for sundry articles.—lt was agreed that they be approved of, but it waa also decided that in f uturo the requisition must be countersigned by the Head Master.

Mahoney's Claim.—Mr Clark reported that the claim by Mr Mahoney was reason able, and it was therefore agreed that it bo paid. *. Purchase of Chemicals.—Mr Fenton objected to the payment of £25 to Messrs Kempthome, Prosser & Co., for chemicals, on the ground that the expenditure was not authorised by the Board. Eventually thia and other items were passed, the Board con sidering that although informal they could not repudiate debts incurred by their officers, It was also understood that in future all itema be submitted to the Board, and after being passed by them that printed orders for the goods be given signed by the Chairman aud Secretary.—The ordinary accounts were passed and the meeting then terminated.

" Seven shillings and six pence, if yon please." He paid without another word.

The Te Aroha Rush Denied.

{FROM OUB OWN COKRESrO_.DE.IT.)

HAMILTON, this day. THERE is no truth in the " Herald's " state ment about the rush to Te Aroha. Not a siiiglc individual has gone from here. The special reporter of tho " Thames Advertiser," who has been visiting the sceno of the rush, says:—"l may here mention that we found the residents of the district were not in the least excited at the discovery—a fact which surprised many of the party—and several of tliem even seemed amused when informed for what purpose we '■ had made such a long journey. They j admitted that gold had been found, and attached some interest to the fact, but did not consider the 'iind' of such an import ant nature as to warrant people from the j Thames going to the trouble and ex pease of rushing up the river merely to have a look at the locality," At O'Halloran'a hotel, a native exhibited some specimens shewing the colour of gold, and a few specks in one of the crevices. On breaking the largest piece it shewed no gold—one specimen, however, was very, rich. In conversation with a man, called Johnnie, the reporter learued that live weeks ago ho came upon the boulders and reefs from which the specimens were taken, fifteen men's ground was pegged off, aud shortly aftorwards several others. Tho reporter, I iv conclusion, says, " I would deprecate any rush taking place at the present time. ; It is true that gold has boon found, but it ! remains to bo proved whether in payablo quantities or not. Those who have taken up claims do not, I believe, intend to work them until the Hold is opened; and it would be woll for porsous who contemplate trying their luck in that part of tho country to 'Look beforo they leap,' iv order that hereafter tlicy may not bo dissapoiutcd."

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE.

The regular monthly meeting of members of tho Auckland Institute was held last evening in tho lecture room, Princes-street, Dr. Purchas in the chair. Several papers of interest wero read, the first by Mr Checso-

man, "on a Now Species of Loranthus found in tho Thames District," by Mr James Adams, master of tho Thnmcs High School. —Mr Cheesoman next rend a paper written by Dr Curl "On the Growth of tlio Sugar beet in New Zealand." In this paper, Dr. Curl recounted a nurahor of experiments ho

had mado at Rangitiki, and gave a tabulated account of tne yield of seeds ho had obtained from plants from France, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, England, and Russia. He ascertained that tho plant grown in Now Zealand yielded on an averago 2 por cent, moro sugar. In ono caso the increase of yield was 12J as compared with 9 per cent. Dr Curl contended that had the colony turned its attention seriously to this branch of manufacture somo years ago, it wonld bo comparatively prosperous, aud that a very largo market would have been thrown open for labour. The paper elicited discussiou iv which Mr Hay, nurserymen, aud Mr

Hunt, made somo apposite nnd experi mental remarks. —Mr Kirk's paper on " Neglected Forest Products" was forwar ded from tho writer at Wellington, and was read by Mr Pond. Tho author called attention in his essay to the forest products of New Zealand, which lie|enuincratcd as kauri gums, gums of other kinds from dif ferent variety of trees, tar, charcoal, resins of various kinds, lampblack. All these articles had an actual marketable value, but tho settlers in this colony nppoared to be ignorant or forgetful of the quantity in which these articles of commerce could be extracted from the decayed branches of our forest trees, which are now allowed to waste to tho imminent danger of the standing tini borfrom lire by accident or mere wantonness. Tho writer then proceeded to shew that at least £20,000 a year could be saved it these articles were properly saved.—Mr Kirk's paper was listened to with marked attention, and was full of pratical in terest to settlers. Somo remarks on the culture of tho pea-nut in this country were introduced by Dr. Purchas.—Mr

Hay considered tho soil aud climate suitable, and bad experimented successfully. Tho president then spoke ot the new work by Captain Brown, which that gentleman had presented to the institute, viz., his "Manual of New Zealand Coleoptera." The meeting then closed, and it was announced that the next monthly meeting will bo held on tho 15th November,

THE TONIC SOL-FA SYSTEM IN THE ENGLISH SCHOOLS.

On Friday morning a deputation waitod upon Earl Spencer and Mr Mundclla with regard to the subject o£ teaching singing in schools. The following were members ot tho deputation : Dr. Cameron, M.P., Mr Middleton, M.P., Mr McSiver, M. P„ Mr B. l.ichards, Mr Woodall, M.P., the Honrablo Normon Grosvenor, and Mr Lush iugton, Q.C. Sir Chas. Reed, who intro duced the deputation, remarked that the deputation brought up a memorial signed by more than 500 persons — professional musicians—musical authorities—scientific men—educationalists—and 270 chairmen of school boards. Since the formal recognition of the sol-fa method in 1869, the country had applied it with readiness and en thusiasm beyond that which its most sanguine supporters could havo expected. In ill schools in London, where option was allowed the teachers, almost invariably the Tonic Sol-Fa system had been chosen. They believed that this system was thorough, very simple, exceedingly cheap, and decidedly popular, and they urged upon the department this very important question, which affected the interests of the children attending their schools, in order that it might not readily be set aside. They challenged inquiry as to the value of this teachincr, and in con clusion referred to extracts from the reports of tho departments inspectors who had borne testimony to the value of the sys tem, Mr Vernon Lushington, Q.C., Dr. Staiuer, organist of St. Paul's cathedral, and other gentlemen interested in mnsic also spoko highly of the system. Earl Spencer in reply, said that both Mr Mun della and himself attached the greatest importance to the value of music being widespread among the people. He would not minimize in any degree the advantages that had been pointed out, that they would consider this as an important part in revising the method of payment. He wished to point out that Her Majesty's Government had not In any way committed themselves to any change in the system of instruction in music. The late Govern ment introduced same proposal, and both Mr Mundella and he thought it desirable, as they valued much this Question of musical education, that before they com mitted themselves to any change they should consider the whole subject moat carefully and fully. They therefore de clined to mako any change this year, but they would consider with very great care all that had been said that day. He did not think that the proposal by the late Govern ment would preclude their system being taught. In conclusion he assured them the aubject should receive their very careful consideration, and that they valued very much tho information given by gentle men so well competent to givo an opinion upon the subject. The deputation thanked his Lordship and withdrew.—" London Times," August 6tb, 1880.

SUFFERING IN KANSAS.

St. Louis, August 29.

The Rev. S. S. Bartlett and Mr J. A. Scharer ot Norton County, Kansas, are in town soliciting aid for the starving and des titute in the northern part of the State,in tho countries of Norton, Jewell, Washington, Smith, Decatur, Rollins, part of Phillips, Graham, Trigo, Ellis, and others, all located in the northern part of Kansas. The lowest estimate places the number of people who are suffering at 25,000. The cause of the affliction is a drought. Their last year's crops were only limited. Last fall they sowed wheat, but it died. There was no snow to give any moisture, and no rains,, and this crop perished. Spring wheat was sown, but that failed also, on account of the severe drought. Corn was next planted, but another plague appeared—the green worm— not the army worm, but similar in appear ance. While it destroyed somo fields en tirely, it only ate up the stalks of tho others, and those last revived, and there were hopes thatsome of it might still be gathered in; but the people were once more disappointed. The chintz bug followed tbo green worm and completed the destruction of the latter. And now the crops are completely destroyed, and want and hunger are staring these twenty five thousand people in tho face. The potato crop is also ruined. Many of the settlers there came from Missouri and lowa Up to about six weeks ago it was thought the suffering would not be so general. Gov. St. John declared the State would be able to take care of its destitute, but these calcula tions were erroneous, and since that time Gov. St. John has advised all the people in the drought-visited district to leave Kansas if possible.
