An application of the Alburnia to drive through the whau ground at the Sons of Freedom level was adjourned, at the request of the solicitor to the Alburnia Company, for one week, when tke manager inti mated his desire to have the macter disposed of, as tho Whau only desired to show that they had made all reasonable efforts to facilitate the work before this ap plication wai made.

NELSON, this day.

MR SHEPHERD AND HIS CON STITUENTS.

Mr Shepherd addressed his constituents at Wakefield on Saturday. He said retrenchment had been torced on the Government, and thought tha necessity for the Property Tax might have been avoided had the Government instead of paying cash to sinking fund issued debentures for instal ments aud interest. This would simply have enlarged the liability. Tho interest on tho cost of uncompleted railways should also have been charged to capital, and the 20 per cent, ot land fund had been taken from the local bodies. He accused the Go vernment of duplicity regarding ihc West Coast Railway, and spoke strongly against the withdrawal of subsidies. Districts having railw*ya were virtually subsidised by tho facilities afforded, and the payment of interest, while those with out got nothing. Ho opposed the redistri bution of representation on a population basis as Nelson would be the only district which would lose members, and that would be tantamount to punishing it foe not having enjoyed the expenditure of an eqwal share of public money as ■ ther districts. He opposed Chinese immigration most strongly, and supported the present system ot free education. A unanimious vote of thanks and confidenco was passed.

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF GEORGE FOSTER.

AN inquest was held on Saturday afternoon at the Prince Arthur Hotel, Wellesley street, before Pr Philson and a jury, Mr James Edwards foreman, touching the sudden death of George Foster, who died on the moraing ot that day. Matilda Foster, widow of deceased, deposed that her husband was a butcher originally but of late years had followed the occupation of a broker. He was 45 years of age. He had generally been in good health, but some years ago suffered from a fever, and received the medigal attendance of Drs Lee and Dawson. He went to bed on Friday evening, about 11 o'clock, in his usual state of health, having partaken of a supper con sisting of bread, butter, and onions. He got up the next morning between 7 and S o'clock, went down-stairs and lit the kiichen fire. He went up-stairs and had a fit of coughing, and appeared to be sick, in the bedroom. Witness went to him and asked if she could do anything for him, but he could not auswer. She supported him on his breast and asked him to point to the locality of his pain; still there was no answer, He then began to froth at the mouth and immediately expired. Dr Hooper arrived as soon as possible, and pronounced life to be extinct. Deceased •was a person of steady habits, and a total abstainer; he had previously been a member of the Free Christian Church, Coolt-street, but more_ recently had become a convert to Mormonism. Louisa Marquick gave evi dence as to knowing Mr Fouter for some time, and testified to his regular habits of life. Dr Hooper, of Hobson-street, said death might have occurred from congestion of the brain, the result of violent coughing, or from some mucous getting into the wind pipe.or it might havo occurred from disease. He did not think a post mortem examina tion was imperatively required. Con stable Henry Graham gave evidence as to being called in ; he examined the body but found no marks of violence thereon ; he was not acquainted with deceased. The jury almost immediately found a verdict, in accordance with Dr Hooper's testimony, "Death from natural causes."

CORRESPONDENCE.

SATURDAY HIGHT TRADE,

To the Editor : Sir,— Resuming my re marks on this subject, it will be worth while for the public to consider whether in their own interest, and those of the purcha sing part of the community, it will not be ■well to adopt the suggestion of, I think, the hon. member for Newton, and in any new Licensing Act have licensed houses closed at a reasonable hour on Saturday.

It will also be of great service if a train was to leave Auckland station say at seven o'clock running to Unehunga, so that the late train will be available for those who come to town to attend places of public amusement. Another requisite—an indis pensable one—to the permanent success of the movement, is the payment of wages on Fridays. Several houses already do this. One reason that hinders others is the in temperance of some workmen-; what a dad objection, happily the exception. WotkiDg men, do not thus mar a good ■work. Let this reproach be speedily wiped awny. Fellow citizens,is there any real necessity why those engaged in any trade should be tied to the counter thirteen to sixteen hours per day T—you know there is not. Now that tho Saturday half-holiday is being enjoyed by an increasing number of trades, what injustice that after numbers have done their week's work, so many sboHld still have equal to a day's work, and several hours amidst stifling gas, Personally I am not engaged in any of these late hour businesses, so cau impar tially strive to assist those who are.—l am, &c, southeen Cross.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —The obstacle in the way of closing on Saturday the same as other days has always seemed to me to lie in the time wagea are paid. Let this fall on Monday. There would not ba the slightest excuse for con tinuing a practice as cruel as it U unreason able, especially in this humanitarian age. | With the wherewithall on hand to begin the week with, surely nothing but perish ablea should remain unpurchased on Friday, and Saturday mid-day -would find the butcher, greengrocer, and entire retail trade free to enjoy the unbroken half holiday and awake on the Sabbath with the freshness of physical and mental powers, so essential for the hea'thful use of this Heaven-blessed holiday. Strange, indeed, has it appeared during the hum and turmoil of many a Saturday night, and more than once has the question come up whilst musing, is nil this responsive to rea), unavoidable necessity — could not public convenience be served and well enough served without thus prolonging the confinement and toil of so appreciable a portion of the community, on this night above any other of the six 1 No doubt this, like some other evils of trade, is an offspring of competition, but insuperable as it looks to seme, it lacks one positive argument in its defence. With intelligent persietant setting forth by press and pulpit, a very large and worthy cause would be served. Long hours have a larger influence for evil upon the moral condition than many surmise, and viewed with the physi cal and social bearings might well make it the " burning questions " of the day with all true lovers of justice and mercy.—l am, &c., PROGRESS,

FISH PRESERVATION ACT.

(To the Editor.) Slß,—Can you inform the public whether there is anything in the Fish Preservation Act to prevent fisherman and others using nets to catch fish, such as young mullet, below a certain size. Fishermen are com plaining that they cannot catch large mullet now because of the practice of some persons using small mesh nets, and by so doing they destroy the brood. It is sug gested that nets below four inches iv the mesh should not be allowed, or in a few years mullet will be a thing of the past.— Yours, &c, J.L. [Several attempts have been made to legislate for our fisheries, but hitherto with only very indifferent success. The necessity for some provision like that referred to by our correspondent has many times been pointed out iv our columns.—Ed. E.S.J

GARRARD IN THE STUMP AGAIN.

Me W. G. Garuard, in purauanco of advertised notice, delivered one of his characteristic orations this morning on the vacant ground a little to tho eastward of tho embouchure of the main aewer. His audience consisted of about tifty men, attracted thither, doubtless, by curiosity, aud a group of youngsters, who quietly located themselves on a heap of stones at tho gieat man's feet. Tho subjoct was stated to be "The Chinee Question," but the orator's soul scorning all such petty trammels soon overthrew this barrier, and wandered at will over the whole Held of poli tics, besides making frequent excursions to such well-worn subjects as the righesof man, the tyranny of capital, social inequalities, the labour question, aud municipal jobbery. He set out with the promise to givo his hearers " a history of tho Chinee question," but after a few highly-coloured pictures of the state of starvation and misery which would ensue from the introduction of " the yellow agony" by the miserable capitalists, he began to give his audience tho benefit of a mental "potright" (portrait) which he had taken of Sir George Grey the other day. Then the special grievances of " aged men " flitted across his mind, aud for ton minutes he expatiated upon this con »eiiial theme, winding up eventually with the pathetic story of an old man whom some citizen or other'had maintained for a time, aud then turned out of doors. After denouncing the contractors generally for outturn their tenders fine and then taking it out of their employes, Mr Garrard proceeded to inveigh against taxation in general, and municipal taxation in particular, asserting as he did so, that he aud his family were starved in order to support in luxury the capitalists — a class who paid not one farthing to the revenues of the country. The faithlessness of Parliamentary representatives and the inditlerence of " Prime-ears " next claimed attention. The speaker hoped that the people would not allow themselves to be led by the "snout" any longer, but by electing men liko himself, devoted to the popular interests, and by exacting pledges from all their members, secure the reforms fcr which ho was clamouring. He declared that he was the people's man from back buno to toenail, and .that uutil the "fabrication" set up by grasping capitalists was attacked, the con dition of the working classes would not be lmprovtd. At intervals of from three to five minutes throughout his harangue the speaker stated his inten tion of questioning Sir George Grey on the platform to-ni>;ht each statement being fol lowed up by the expression of the hope that in this cross-examination tho people would notforget to mark their approval of hia notion by cheering him to the ■' hecho." After repeating his history of the " Chinee ques tion" for the benefit of unpunctual auditors, and relating some of hh Sydney experiences, the orator found that he had run himself out. He therefore talked for a minute or two about the pride which tilled his bosom at being privileged to address such an intel ligent audience, and then having thanked them for the attention which they had paid him he jumped down from his perch to receive the felicitations of his wife. The worthy couple proceeded up Queen-street followed by twos and threes of tho hearers.

MINING NEWS.

MINE MANAGE US' REPORTS,

New Golden Belt.—Since last report I have been pushing ahead with the stope to get under where I got the specimens. I have gone a distance of 20 feet, but have not seen any gold. The reef for the first ten feet was rather small, but has opened out to three feet wide, and 1 am in hopes of soon meeting with some gold. lam also stoping on cast side of winze, where the reef averages from two to three feet. It looks well, but I have not seen any gold lately. lam only lancing the hanging wall portion. We start crushing on Monday.— Edwin Ninnis, Coromandel.

New Golden Pah G.M.C.—Bottom Level Cross-cut: Have started cross-cut south of enoine shaft to cut leader known to be in the shaft, where stone has been taken out, showing strong colours of gold. Driven 10 feet. Intermediate Level West: Drive now in 59 feet west of rise. Leader 6 incbes thick and looking promising. We ate now underneath where gold was ob tained in the 80ft level, and may expect to find goJd shortly. Intermediate Level East: 1 have discontinued this drive aud started a stope over the back of this level. Leader 5 inches thick. Good-looking stone. 80ft Level, West Winze : A winze that was formerly started having been drained, I sunk 18ft., and holed through to the intermediate level.

POLICE COURT.-This day.

(Before Thomas Macffarlaue, Esq., J.P.)

DRUNKENNESS. Henry Burns, Wm. Barnett, and Benja man Smith were fined 5s each. Nicholas Stanton (Sunday case), 10s and costs. ALL FOE LOVE. Francis Ryan was charged with drunken ness and disorderly conduct on Saturday evening near the Wharf Hotel, Queen street. Prisoner pleaded drink. Kyan and another man, not in custody, were vigorously fighting about a young woman on the maxim that " none but the brave deserve the fair," when the police interfered, and closed the knightly combat; the envied female declaring the struggle to be useless, as she should please herself in spite of results. Owing possibly to the youth of the prisoner, and the state of his mind, the lesser penalty of 5s and costs was imposed. ATTAOKINO A MAN'S NOSE. Walter Egginton was charged on sum mons with assaulting Frederick Smith, by savagely biting his no3e and otherwise dis figuring his face. Mr Tyler appeared in defence. Mr Pardy said that he must ask for a re mand in this case, as the injured man was obliged to join his vessel or lose his work; but he would be back in a few days. Mr Tyler had no objection to a remand, but said this was a most trivial case. The men were fighting together, when com plainant fell against a wall and seriously damaged his nose, and some of the specta tors of the fight, seeing Smith's nose bleed ing, declared that Egginton had attempted to deprive Smith or the projecting organ of the sense of smell, which was quite an MrFurdy said this statement was not correct. Smith came to him with his nose bleeding from the marks of defendant's teeth, He would not, however, go into the particulars of the attack in tee absence of Mr Smith. • The case was remanded until Friday, ana prisoner admitted to bail; himself in £20, and one surety in £10. This was all the business.

The Atkinson who obtained the contract for Colonial cement from Government is Mr Dccimus Atkinson, brother of Major Atkinson. The " New Zealand Times gives the following description of his pro cess, which is patented :—First t!ie lime stone is quarried, and converted into lime by the usual slaking process. The powder lime is then mixed with water—sea water is best for the purpose — and formed into blocks ready for roasting. The latter are then submitted to fervent heat, under which the white stone is converted into a dirty brown clinker. This is cement before grinding. The clinker is then ground into 3n impalpably fine powdor, and so becomes the cement of commerce, Submitted to searching analysis the cement is proved to have almost exactly the same constituents as the cements of England and Germany. The products of Mr Atkinson's skill, research, and ingenuity have been closely examined by Mr Blackett, engineer-in-chief of the colony, and Mr Oliver, the Minister of Works. Both gentlemen are eminently practical in this direction, and both accord unqualified commendation to the specimens.
