disturbance. They labour tor themselves, reap the benefit of their self-denial and intelligence, and yield to no master or land lord auy portion of their hard earnings. In some of the countries 1 have mentioned to night the Government willingly granted to the people universal suffrage, requiring no property qualification whatever for the exercise of Electoral privileges. As Conti nental Rulers habitually distrust the people and give them little liberty we may fairly ask how this came about. It was because the Government found the small land owners their steadiest supporters, because they "offered the most effectual check to the wild schemesof men who had nothing to lose. Statesmen seeing this—seeing the marvel lous effects of property on the industry, sobriety, and well-being of the people, have termed that influence, not inaptly, the magic of property. We have here, to be thankful for, one of the beat climates in the world, a soil which will favourably compare with that of any other country, and aa abundance of land, easily obtainable. With knowledge and industry to turn these advantages to good account we may look forward hopefully to place these islands in the foremost rank of colonies. Every traveller of intelligence who has visited us says iv so many words that the colony is a paradise for working men. There is no reason, therefore, why a small farmer here should not attain to the same comfort and independence as a peasant proprietor on the continent of Europe. A small farmer in Switzerland, Norway, and elsewhere with his 10 acres or more has a roomy comfortable cottage, generally sur rounded with his kitchen garden, where he raises fruit, vegetables, and flowers. He has his cow and goat shed, manure tank, and.other farm necessaries, After his day's labour he returns home and gathers the family together for the evening meal. He seldom leaves home to seek for pleasure and amusement abroad. He looks for these by his own fireside. His wife spins and weaves, whilst the rest busy themselves about the house and its improvement, or talk over the events of the day and study what had best be done on the morrow—what crops, what manures, what treatment each separate portion of the farm should receive. The schoolmaster frequently joins the family party and gives the result of his more extensive information as to the manage ment of the farm and cattle with all the zeal of oue interested in the success of the operations. The picture, to my fancy, is a very pleasing one, and I would gladly see it reproduced in every fertile valley and on every alluvial plain throughout the colony. If you desire this colony to become an agri cultural country you should insist, through your Representatives, upon two things—l. That no )avv should be in force which could prevent land being sold in the natural order of things like other property; and 2nd, Tbat agricultural schools should be established after the manner of those in the Continent of Europe, to teach agricul turalists, and the sons of agriculturalists, the most approved and profitable way of working the land. If it is true, as is now generally admitted, that a flourishing state of agriculture is the " only " possible con dition of real national prosperity—it is in cumbentupan you—it is your bounden duty, to take all necessary steps to secure it. The Press in this city has advocated the desired change in the law, and the Premier Mr Hall, appears not unwilling to adopt it as part of his policy, so that I do not antici pate you will have much trouble on that score. To obtain a grant of laud and money for the establishment of Agricultural School may give you more trouble, but I think the Chamber of Commerce will assist you and you may bring other influences to bear at the election times with a happy effect. I can only advise you to be unan imous, and insist upon haviag such schools established,for without them you will mak little "head way" as agriculturists. We congratulate ourselves on the expansion of our population from about 300 thousand to half-a-million persons in a few years, and some of us fancy we require no further immigration from other countries. But such is not the opinion of our American cousins. During last year the immigration to their snores amounted to a million persons—double our entire population—and it is estimated it will be to the same extent this year. And this is the way they regard the immense influx of population to their territory :—" In olden times, when certain men and women in this country were valued in dollars and cents, an able-bodied adult was thought worth more than 1000 dollars, and there is no doubt that the free labourers who are com ing from other lands with their enterprise, thrift, and habits of industry, add to the net product of this country far more than the interest "on 2000 dollars each. In money value only, therefore, the country is the richer by more AVan 1,200,000.000 dollars for the immigra tion of 1880.' Moreover, the amount of many brought with them by the class [of immigrants who have been coming for a year past has been larger than usual. Those who are most familiar with the facts estimate it at over 50 dollars per head. If this is a correct estimate, the immigrants of 1880 brought hither, besides themselves and their energy, industry, and producing power, nearly 30,000,000 in goldof which the returns of exports and imports give no account." That is their view. Now you will bear in mind tbat this colony has an area of about 65 million acres, a little less ,fhan Great Britain. But Great Britain Sipports some 40 or 50 millions ot people, (his colony at present only \ a million. The portion of the land under cultivation here, as compared with the whole area, is some thing very small—about 5 million'acres, I believe, one-half of which is in grass. This .will help to show you what ample room there is for expansion in every direction should we add the I right class of people to our population. I leave these facts and figures for your thoughtful consideration, being confident you will act wisely and well, for I have ever found the judgment of the working class both sound aud clear, if un influenced and unmystified by the acts of public speakers. For myself, I hope the land will ultimately be divided among a thriving, industrious, and intelligent people, so that dwellers in distant countries hearing of our success may be able truthfully to say :— Across the sea a land there Is Where, if fate will, men may have bliss, For it is fair as any land: There hath the reaper a f nil hand, and men are stout for husbandry. And all is well, as it can be Upon this earth, where all has end. (To he Continued.)

THE MELBOURNE BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.

Troubles of An Auckland Board ing-house Keeper.

In a previous issue we have given the first part of the case of Brookjs v. Smith, which arose out of an alleged piomise of marriage made by the defendant while living as a boarder in the house of plaintiff, who wa3 then known under the nam. of Mrs Coutts. The evidence of plaintiff showed that it was arranged between the defendant and herself that she should go to Sydney with him, and there be married. After his arrival in Sydney he sent her the following letter:-Sydney, January 27, 1881. My dear Mrs X.,—l have a long letter written, but at the very last moment have concluded not to post it this mail, so I just have a few moments to write a line. I will ask you to postpone your trip to Sydney for a short time longer, at least until you hear from me again. I hope you have done nothing yet towards disposing of house In ten minutes mail will close, so I wil: conclude with love from yours faithfully— T.O.S. Will write first mail again. Hope to hear from you soon.—T.S. To this she replied :— " Auckland, February 4, 1881. T. C. Smith, — Your letter dated Sydney, January 26, just recei ved, i went immediately the mail arrived, but was told " nothing," upon which 1 at once cabled yon, asking for reply. So far none has come. To-day I thought I would ask again, and got your note, addressed, " Mrs Kirkham, Auckland," no initial or post-office. The consequence was it had been given to another Mrs Kirkham. To say that I am astonished at the contents of your note cannot express my feelings. I, am almost out of miy mind. " I thought I had suffered enough iv my time, but it seems as if this was going to be still greater suffering for me. What can have happened to cause this change God alone knows. One thing, it is now too far gone for me to remain here, and that you must be perfectly well aware of. I have again " cabled " you |to that effect. Perhaps you will fear to answer that. lam writing this to go via. Mel bourne,not knowing but I may be in Sydney before it arrives,but whether you meet me I cannot tell. Your letter bears no address. You said when leaving you would send your address. What am Ito think ? Every thing is shrouded in mystery. Oh -(oil ? Mayyou never sufferwhatyour letter is now causing me to suffer. How often did I ask you to consider well your offer that you might not change your mind, and what was your oft-repeated reply ? Never, never. I can only conclude from your letter to-day you have done so. God grant that I am wrong, or what shall I do? I cannot undo now what is doing, or alter things in any way. In fact, it means my utter ruin. I should have compelled J.C. to make different arrangements but for your ex pressed wish ; now it is too late and I shall be penniless. Should this reach you ere I do, I trust you will come to the " boat," so that 1 may have an explanation oi this most strange affair. I will leave this letter open "until I ask again" if there is a "cable" for me. In the meantime.l remain yours truly unhappy, Marie K. Coutts.

Plaintiff, as shewn in the evidence already published, went to Sydney, and followed defendant on to Melbourne, where he refused to fulfil his promise, or provide money to send her back to New Zealand.

The plaintiff was severely cross-ex amined.

Mr Purves : You say in this letter tha,t "J.C. brought on the sale just before the mail left. All was in confusion. I would have thought little of destroying myself. We are both homeless." Who are the •' both 1", — Witness : Mr Coutts and I. Mr Purves : Then you still had some affec tion for him.—Witness: I was sorry for hirm.

Mr Purves : You continne, "There is no creature on earth so wretched as I am, and I don't know what I have done to deserve it." Why were you so wretched when yon were about to go to Sydney to me married ? —Witness : I was wretched because I had not received a letter irom Mr Smith.

Mr Purves : Oh! you were love-sick and love-lorn, and wanted to destroy yourself because you had not heard from your sweetheart ? Is that fit ? — I think that" was sufficient cause.

Mr Purves : You go on—'•' I am always asking myself how could I have been so fond, or so foolish, as to imagine you were in earnest." What did you mean by that ? —Witness : What I say. Mr Purves : Oh, yes; but there is some thing underlying it, your know. Djd you mean that you thought you had been making a foo ot yourself ?—Witness : I don't know what 1 thought. I was too agitated. ♦ Mr Purves : Now, while you were living with Coutts, you have told us no love making took place between you and Smith, Has he kissed you ?—Witness : Yes, on two or three occasions.

Mr Purves : You say he told yon not to take any of Coutt'a money. How much had you when you left New Zealand.—- Witness : Very little; under £50. I had £50 when we gave up the boarding-house, but 1 had to pay my board for four weeks. Mr Purves : But Coutts was living with you.—Witness : He did not pay my board. Mr Purves : Where did you first meet defendant in Melbourne.—Witness: In Nicholson-street.

Mr Purves : Did you create a scene by pretending to faint, aud have to be assisted into a cab ?—Witness: No. I got into a cab. I was very much agitated. Mr Purves : Oh, yes. You look as if you could be agitated. I never saw a cooler customer in my life. Why did you, in your letters written in Melbourne, use no fonder term than " My dear friend " to Smith?— Witness -.His breach of faith was a good reason for my not doing so. Mr Purves: Where did you lodge the night you arrived ?—Witness : With a lady who came by the steamer. She lived in the street that passes the St. Andrew's hotel. I don't know the name, but I can take you to the house. Mr Purves : Oh, no, thank you. Didn't you several times pretend to go away from Melbourne, and miss the steamer purposely. —Witness: No.

Mr Purves : Didn't you purposely miss the Hero ?—Witness : 1 didn't go by the Hero because I found out that she called at Auckland.

Mr Purves : You say in this letter, '* Oh, by the memory of my home." Does this pathos signify that you had pleasant memo ries of your home '(—Witness :It was a pleasant home until Smith caused me to break it up. Mr Purves : Oh, I thought you said it was an unpleasant home.—Witness: We were not always quarrelling. Mr Purves : Oh, there were lapses of plea sure with Coutts.—Witness :It was plea sant sometimes. Mr Purves: Of course—a woman s mind needs change. She must make up her quarrel in order to quarrel again. What do you mean by speaking of "all I have lost."—Witness: "My home and my money. Mr Purves : And Coutts ?—Witness : Yes. Mr Purves : Which did you value most— the home, the £600, or Coutts ?—Witness : All the same. Mr Purves: Did you write to Smith on the 15th April—" 1 have received letters from Auckland containing important infor mation about yourself. If you care to do so, you can appoint an evening after 6 to see me." Why did you want to see him ?~ Witness : I had news that Mr Coutts had gone to Sydney. Mr Purves : How did that affect Smith ? —Witness : I think it would affect him very much if Mr Coutts were here. Mr Purvis : How is that ?—Witness : Mr Coutts does not know the reason why I left him. and I would not have left him but for Mr ' Purves: Then the statements to Coutts made before Smith proposed to you, that you intended to leave him, were a pack of falsehoods ?—Witness : No. Mr Purves: Then I would like you to reconcile your irreconcilable statements. On the day Smith asked you to marry him, would you have married Coutts if he had offered '—Witness :If he made me a settle ment. ... i- Mr Purves : Then it was all a question of £600 between you and Coutts. Would you marry Coutts now if he settled £600 on i oa __ Witness : I refuse to answer. Mr Purves: If Coutts came and said, " I'll forgive this excursion of yours, and rilsettle D£6ooon you," would you marry himJ-Witness: 1 don't know. Mr Purves: Did you ever offer to live with Smith in Melbourne if he gave you money?-Witness: No. . Mr Purves . Did you go to Johmons with. Smith to look at apartments-? -Witness : YMr Purves : Did you afterwards write a letter to the owner of the house and sign it » M K. Smith r-Witne-S: I can explain. Mr Purves :Of course you can. Milton says of the author o!E all evil that he can ex tdafn away anything. Did you write this ?„- MrZßusseU :-'* Dear Madam,-Mr Smith fcX that . business engagement prevents his calling upon you *a Prom'sed, and trusts that this note will prevent any inconvenience. We, find it wouldl not suit us to take the apartments for somedays, though we would have very much likedl to take them. We will call again inia week^ r-M. K. SMITH." Did you write this note?

Witness : I will explain. While I was staying at the hotel, Mr Smith went with me to look for private apartments. We saw some in Carlton, but they would not do. We then went back to the hotel to lunch. After lunch, he cut out of the papers some advertisements, and showed them to me, and said some of them might suit. We went to the house at Jolimont, and Mr Smith went inside, leaving me in the cab. I found from the remarks of the lady of the house that he had represented me as his wife, and I was very angry with him when he returned to the cab.

Mr Purves : Were not the apartments for you and him?— Witness : No; I wanted them for myself. Mr Purves: Were you not inducing Smith to live with you ?—Witness : No; it was the other way. His Honour ? Am I to understand that he wanted you to live with him?— Witness : Yes.

Mr Purves : Well, if you are a decent virtuous woman, how do you account for your conduct in taking lunch, walking about the streets and in Carlton Gardens at 9 o'clock at night with, and inviting to visit you " after 6 o'clock," a man who had made such a proposal to you ?—Witness : I could not help myself. I knew no one else in Melbourne. Mr Smith never asked me to live with him. He said if I liked to stay in Melbourne, I would have a comfortable home, but I knew what he meant. He never said the plain words. Mr Pnrves : They never do. They say come and live a life of pleasure, and give up the Couttses of this world. You had not seen Mr M'Kean then. He would not have let you do anything so unwise. At the conclusion of the cross-examina tion the witness burst into a fit of hysteri cal weeping, and had to be removed from Court for five minutes.

This closed the plaintiff's case. For the defence Thomas Conlon Smith, the defandant, deposed: I have been a commission agent, but am doing no business now. I know the plaintiff. I went to the lodginghouse in Auckland kept by John Coutts. It was called Cambridge house. Went there in July, 1880. Left on the 14th January, 1881. Never promised Mrs Coutts marriage. I have been intimate with her. About six weeks after I went to Cambridge-house, she told me that she was going to England to her rich brother. I remember leaving Auckland on the 22nd October, and returning on the 19th December from the South. I had conversa tions with her daily. She said Coutts and she had been disagreeing while I was ab sent, and she intended to leave him. I always advised her to be content with her position, as she had not a bad home. About a week before I left New Zealand I had a conversation with Mrs Coutts. This was about the 7th January. She always did the talking. I was in a small parlour writing. She came in. She said she was completely tired of Coutts, and would leave him, as he had not treated her right, that she would go to England to her brother, who was very rich, and who would keep her, and that she ex pected money to be left her by her mother. She asked me if I could see her after I left Auckland. I said we might in Sydney. She said we could have a trip through New South Wales, could go through the Blue Mountains, and spend some time there before she took her depar ture for England. I consented to it. There was no time mentioned for her departure. In consequence of what I heard from Contt3, who came into the parlour crying, I went and saw Mrs Coutts. I said that Coutts said she was going by the steamer that day. She said yes ; that she was not going to stay any longer, as they were always quarrelling. I asked her if she was going by the steamer that day. She said " Yes." I insisted on her remaining, as I said I would not go by the steamer if she did. The lodgers and Coutts saw me off. After I got to Sydney I wrote the letterjof 27th January. Came to Melbourne. Saw plaintiff on 19th March, between 5 and 6 o'clock, in Nicholson-street. I got out of a cab in Gertrude-street. I saw Mrs Coutts. She intercepted me while I was going to the hotel. She crossed the street and met me. She attempted to make a scene. She pretended to be weak, and to fall, and I put out my hand to hold her up. I put her in a cab. It is not true that I re fused to give her passage money to New Zealand. I said I would give her a reason able sum to pay her pssage back to New Zealand. She made no direct claim on me for money. She said she would like to start a boarding-house in Melbourne. She wanted me to lend her the money, and she would give me the best security she .could. I did not give a direct refusal, but I never consented. I never made her any otfier offer than the trip through New South Wales. There was no route laid out. The only place referred to was the Blue Moun tains.

Cross-examined by Mr Williams : I have not had any engagement since November last. I have been living on money I brought from New Zealand. I had about £700. I have been about three years in the colonies. I came from San Francisco. 1 was born,in America. I was a commission agent to supply the trade and others with American publications—no par ticular publications, but anything my employers chose to send. I have sold the Bible, " Our First Century," "Sacredßiography," "Our First Century" purported to be a history of America during the century. I ceased the business in November, 1880, because the territory was nil canvassed. I did not find it to my interest to continue it any longer. Brought nothing but these books to this colony or New Zealand. I brought nothing myself. Other goods were delivered to me by Messrs Owen and _raham, of Auckland. They were consigned to that firm. My employers seat me over a gold watch as a gift. It came* into the country without paying the duty. It came within the leaves of Bibles. I made no declaration or statement that the goods paid duty. I was arrested for perjury, and lodged in prison for a little time. I brought no actiou in consequence of the arrest and imprisonment, because the party who caused the arr_t cleared^ out of the country. He was^ private individual named Allingham. He cleared out of the colony after the case was dismissed. Allingham was in Court, but he gave no evidence. A constable named Wrist ar rested me. The charge of perjury was making a false affidavit in relation to a private transaction between Alu'ngham and myself. It was coupled with this smuggling business through trade jealousy. The Cus toms sued me for £100 for the smuggling. I was fined £25. From July, 1880, till the 26th of October, I resided at Cambridge house, Auckland, and was on friendly terms with Coutts. I believed till I left in January that Mr and Mrs Coutts were man and wife. It was a matter of opinion. I differed from her view. I did not tell Mr Coutts that Mrs Coutts was going to follow me to Sydney. His Honor : Then, according to your view of the case, as I understand it, you deli berately committed adultery. Cross-examination continued.—l had illicit intercourse with Mrs Coutts first on the 22nd of December, and frequently after that till I left Auckland, also in Melbourne, I never told the husband any of this. My intimacy with Mrs Coutts in Melbourne was in the In ! ternational Hotel, and elsewhere in the suburbs. In summoning up, His Honor said: What was the case for the defendant ? His story was that he seduced this woman in New Zealand, being of opinion at the time that she was legally married to Coutts, he at the time living under the protection of Coutt's roof and the fact of that seduction seemed to be set up as a sort of defence to this action. That was no defence at all, if the jury believed that he promised to marry her. It was also said for him that there never was any promise to marry, but that she came from New Zealand to Australia to have a trip to the Blue Mountains and to see the Melbourne Exhibition. It was for the jury to say what they thought of (that. If defendant's story was that she broke up her home in New Zealand to live with him altogether as his mistress it would be in telligible, but to say that she did so merely j for the sake of a trip to the Blue Mountains was hardly credible. The defendant's statement tbat he seduced her in New Zea land need not have been made at all. She was never asked it plainly, although a num ber of questions had been put apparently in -1 tended to imply it All the evidence that had been brought forward, all her letters seemed to show that she was a virtuous woman, and was not the low and abandoned woman which was insinuated on the other side. The jury, after three-quarters of an hour a deliberation, gave a verdict for the plain tiff; damages, £200.

Mr Peter Currau accompanies the vessel as re cruiting agent. lv response to invitations issued by His Excellency the Governor and Mrs Dcs Voaux, about 150 ladies and gentlemen as sembled at the Government House, Nasova, on Monday evening, to take part iv a ball given iri honor of Her Majesty's birth day. By the latest arrivals from Taviuni, we hear that the schooner Coral Queen is still iv her old position, and has suffered no more damage through the late high winds. Mr Page has again been remarkably un fortunate in his supply of sheep expected to arrive by the s.s. Southern Cross, as out of a shipment of 100 head, not a single one survived the voyage. The Cross encoun tered very heavy weather on her trip, and the consequence was that all the live stock perished. By the April trip Mr Page received but 10 out of 120, so that flesh pur veying is by no means all profit. A Rewa correspondent writes:—The advent of the new plant for the Colonial Sugar Refining Company, which we hear arrived per "Lanarkshire" at your port, has caused some anxiety here as to the discharge of her cargo, when there will be even more activity at the Company's works than at present; for we hear that she has brought from home a large amount of machinery, the erection of which will find full employment for all hands here. The Winifred, Captain Douglas, which left Levuka on the 27th March last on a re cruiting voyage in the New Hebrides and Banks' Groups, arrived in Suva on Friday last with 86 Polynesian immigrants, her full complement. The captain reports having spoken the Windward Ho about a fortnight before his return, when he learnt that at the island of Pentecost one of her boats, in charge of the second officer, Mr Jones, had been fired upon whilst recruiting, and one of the crew, a Fijian, who was pulling the stroke oar, was shot through the neck and killed. The Windward Ho had only 15 re mits on board.
