Some time before 9 o'clock the waiters' room, which is just off the main entrance, opposite the railway station, and a small sate, contain ing £87 and valuable documents, was carried off bodily.

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

THE adjourned annual meeting oi the New Zealand Prudential Assurance Society was held last evening, Mr R. A. Burgess pre siding. The balance sheet submitted by Mr Leers shewed that the receipts, includ ing £75 12s 9d from last year and £512 18s 3d for premiums, amounted to £658 3s 7d, and the expenditure,, including £51 2s, death claims; £108, on account of former liabilities ; £164, commission ; £234, salaries, amouuted to total, less £6 3s 7d iv hand in bank. The assets, including arrears of premiums and levtes, wore estimated at £289 8s 2d.

During his remarks, he said the Society was not in a good position, and under the present rules it was impossible to carry it on. Alterations which he could not divulge at present were meditated, and the matter has now gone so far that in a mouth or six weeks they would be able to call the members together and lay a scheme before them for the formation of a company. In answer to a question, Mr Leers snid the intention was to form the society into a company with a large capital, and an influential directory. The adoption of the balance sheet was seconded by Mr Friedrichs and agreed to. It was stated in reply to a question that the society nownumb?red 700 shareholders. A com mittee ot management consisting of Messrs Burgess, Friedrichs, Holder, and Baker, with one vacancy was elected. Messrs Dorrington and Friedrichs were appointed trustees, and Messrs Waymouth Buckly auditors. The meeting concluded with votes of thanks to the Chairman, Secretary, late committee and trustees.

ENGLAND'S DESPOT.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—I have read the letters of Mr New man and Mr Oram re the above. I think the public will not be led far astray if they will remember the motives that prompted the above gentlemen in writing. (I do not know either of them.) The iriend of tem perance reform has no individual personal advantage to gain ; it is only national good that can spring from his efforts ; he works for the good of others. But when a hotel keeper writes iv the private interests of his trade, he has pecuniary advantage to look forward to, —iv his case it is "self." Are we to be ruled by the hotelkeeper 1 Are matters of State importance to be re garded as secondary, or are his interests to be paiamount? Mr Oram indulges in a passing sneer at temperance fanatics ; it is surely better to be in earnest in trying to do good than earnest in roakine it hard for men to do right and easy for men to do wrong. If temperance reformers are terribly despotic in asking that Mr Oram's class be restrained by a salutary law, are we to suppose that to be bound hand and foot in the grave clothes of a clinging curse is liberty—to see New Zealand enchained under the h.stial tyranny of a most degrading bondage, is that freedom ? Docs not our liberty end when it involves the possibility ot ruin to our neighbours ?—I am, &c, W.B.L.

LATEST FROM TE AROHA.

(IIV TELEGRAPH. OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. Good gold is reported to have^bcen dis covered in the Shotovcr claim at Te Aroha. The stone obtained is from a good-sized reef, and is an excellent one. Gold is being obtained in tho Otanui district. It is stated that each member of a party have been getting an ounce of geld per week for some time past. Excellent progress is now being made with the erection of the buttery at To Aroha, and it is expected that it will be ready to start in three weeks.

ALLEGED ROBBERY AND INCENDIARISM.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The police are now in possession of fuller particulars regarding the alleged robbery and attempted incendiarism which was reported in our Monday evening's issue. The name of the occupant of the house was given as Bruce in our report, but it should have been Cornish. The building is a four roomed one, aud is resided in by Mr Cornish and his family only. Tho two upper rooms are used as bed-rooms—one by Mr Cornish, and tho other by his two daughters, aged respectively 13 and 18 years; while Master Cornish used a a small room on the lower floor as a sleeping apartment. Tho lire occurred on the morning of Monday last. Mr Cornish says he saw his premises secured, doors locked, &c, at about 9.30 pm. ou Sunday night. Oil the following morn ing, about live o'clock, he was awakened by the smell of smoke in his bedroom, and he at once culled his family. Proceeding down stairs, ho found that the partition of his shop, where some coats were) hanging, was on lire, and that the paper and the lining boards were much charred and burnt, He procurod a bucket ot water, and ex tinguished the Haines. He also states that he found on the counter in the shop a lighted candle which ho says had beeu removed from the room in which his son was sleeping. His further statement is to the ellect that he found his cash-box on the counter. It had been broken opeu, and the contents, amounting to £14, stolen. Ho claims that it was by tho side of his bed locked, and must have been taken from there. Only an old coat aud some paper on the wall were destroyed by the lire. Mr Cornish's opinion regarding the outbreak was that some person was searching tho pockets of tho coat when he accidentally set lire to it. The whole of the affair is exceedingly mysterious, as it cauuot bo ascertaiued how the alleged robbers entered or escaped from the house. All the doors were secure, and the examination made by the detectives shewed that none of the doors or other means of ingress were broken. It was ap parent that a shoemaker's hammer, used in the shop had been employed tobreakopen the cash box. There were clear indentations on the lid which the hammer exactly lits. The box was not broken open by the forco of these blows, but the catch thtough which the bolt shoots had evideutly been broken off when the box was opened. It had apparently been cut off, and both Mr Cornish and the detective inclined to this opinion. If the box had been broken open the ends of the catch would have been in the lock, but upon examining the lock neither of the ends could be found. The lock Is in as good condition as ever it was, and works freely, so that it could not hare been broken. Tho premises were rented from Mr Parker, of the firm of Jaggar aud Parker. The National Insurance Company had isßued;a policy of £150 ou stock. Not withstanding a rigid enquiry made by the police, it has been found impossible to clear up the cloud mystery connected with the case. It cannot be discovered how it wus po3«ible for anyone to get into (he premises and out again, wheu all tho locks and bolts were securely fastened. A very singular part of the affair is the tact that the robber, after taking tho box from Mr Cornish's bedside, ij supposed by him to have gone downstairs and opened it with a hammer. This vc should imagine is a most uuusual course for a robber to pursue, and it is very strange that he could have effected his purpose aud made good his escape without ang member of the family hearing him and giving the alarm.

DREDGINGS FROM THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

Wbitten Specially for the "Star."]

The rival town of Bau was Levuka, upon the island ot Ovalau, and the King, Tui Levuka, had also managed to procure iiro aiTM and white men, so he felt pretty secure, especially a3 he had the mouutaiuccrs of Livoni, his own relations, to back him up. Levuka posies«cd a very good harbour, which Bau was sadly deficient of, having little else but immense mud and saudy flats at low water. From time to time v whaler put into Levuka to water, and pro cure Iruit and vegetables. Desertions always took place, so in a short period Tui Levuka had about SO whits men aud plenty of guns. This caused him to be very oil', handed to Ban, who threatened, but Tui Levuka only laughed, aud told them if they wanted to light to come ou, he was quite ready for them. The whites built a sort of fort of loose rocks and boulders upon the top of the cliff' at the rear of the native town, and mounted two or three cannonades loaded to the muzzles with pieces of chain cable, divided them selves into their watches and kept guard day and night, so the people feeling how safe they were, became, as Bau termed.it, " very impudent and boastful," and must be punished accordingly for such high treason ; but Bau was uot able to do it, so it had to fall back upon the good old Fijian custom of blackguarding Levuka, which did no harm, but showed great weakness. The Levuka women could now go out fishing without fear of beiug kidnapped, and put in the oven to be served up at a Bau feast. The men could also plant with safety, but I think this was all the good the whites unintentionally did, for they wore in other matters nearly akin to their brethren at Ban. Blood was not, however, spilt iv such a reckless manner.

There was a mountain chief who had made himself very obnoxious to lvi Levuka, who, iv return, devised all manner of means to get hold of him, but without success. At laat, one day, he was caught napping, aud instantly clubbed. His body was then dragged with loud shouts and cannibal songs into the town. The chief was highly pleased ; he kicked his dead enemy, jumped upon him, cursed him, and applied the most degrading epithets to this inanimate piece of clay; finally he ordered him to be cooked in an oven, but gave especial direc tions that the liver be brought to him. This he had well rubbed with turmeric, and every morning early he would leap into the square of the towu, holding up the liver in his right hand, shouting maledictions upon his enemies, Baa in particular, and beseech his heathen god to deliver them into his hands, that he might serve them the same way as this " bokola," (dead man), ho would then take a good bite of what he was holding, pre tend he was strengthened thereby, and retire to his dwelling house walking like a bravo.

1 have been told by many old natives that eating humau flesh was often followed by great pain and agony, similar to colic. If such was the case 1 can only say that colic must have been a standing cornplaiut in Fiji. To try and correct this they generally used particular herb 3 and roots, when par taking of this horrid food. After a lapse of | time the whites gradu ally broke up into small lots, aud lived in various parts of the group, many were killed, others died, and auother class of whitemen gradually arrived, and left by trading vessels to collect beche-de-mer, turtle and pearl shell, &c, and store it until the vessel returned to pick them up again, which was generally in about four months time ; these men were left with a good quantity of trade, and the Captain gener ally paid a chief to help and protect them, they located them-elves if possible upon some small island near the mainland con sidering it safer for themselves and better for trading purposes. I am now going to toll you a little o! these men who were not so vicious, and how one fine morning the natives made the aoquaiutaucc of an American man-of-war, in fact, a very close acquaintance, and of the great moral they learnt thereby. Upon the southern coast of Na Viti Levu (Big Fiji), was a small uninhabited island ; it was about a mile from the mainland, and au American vessel left three men heie to trade, the captain paid the chief Na Koroduadua, for protection, and got him to have erected a dwelling house, store, and drying sheds, for which he paid libe rally, "giving them the trade they asked for. After pointing out to his men the line of conduct they were to pursue, nnd upon uo account to annoy or aggravate the natives, he sailed away and formed other stations of a similar nature. He had only been gone but a few weeks when trouble arose, and a great deal of mischief was done, as you shall hear. [TO BE CONTINUED.]

THE DOCK SITE.

DEPUTATION TO MR WHITAKER,

A DEPUTATION from the Harbour Board, consisting of Messrs Compton (Chairman), J. M. Clark, Aickin, and J. Brigham (Secretary), waited upon tho Hon. Mr Whitukcr at three o'clock this afternoon, in order to request that Mr Blackett (Chief Engineer) might be allowed to report upou the suggested dock sites. Tho request was briefly stated, and tho importance of seeming an independent opinion upon the various sites from a com petent man set forth.

The Hon. Mr Whitakor, in reply, said that all tho harbours in the colony, and the principal ones especially, were national property ill which the whole colony was concerned; and that, therefore, any large public work in connection with them demanded great consideration from tho Government. He saw [nothing uureasonable in tho request that Mr Hlackett should bo requested to give an opinion re dock sites, after being furnished with tho neee.-snry data, hut if iho request meant that ho should bo detained hero in order to search up and down the harbour for a proper site, ho could not reccommend compliance with it. Mr Clark explained that all the necessary particulars would be supplied Mr Bhckett in order to enable him to arrive nt an inde pendent opinion. Mr Whitnker said that under these cir cumstances lie would interest hinitclf with tho Minister for Public Works in order to got the request.— Granted, The Deputation then thanked the Hon. Gentleman aud withdrew.

NATIVE MEETING AT WAI TANGI.

Native Minister's Speech.

(By Tklegkaph.)

RUSSELL, Wednesday. The Hon. Mr Rolleston, Native Minister, arrived by the Rotomahana, and at eleven o'clock set out for Waitangi to meet tho natives. There was a stack of food three feet high, and half-a-mild long, over 300 pigs, a large number of sheep nnd bullocks, 600 loaves, aud 300 cakes. The hills around and the steamers in the bay were decorated with flags. The Maoris provided a free dinner for the Europeans. Mr Rolleston was received with a war dance, after which the speaking commenced. The preliminary native speeches wore very brief and beyond some expressions of dissatisfac ! tion with the dog tax contained nothing of any note, I Wi Katene spoke at greater length and with more pertinence. He declared that the desires of the Maoris were for a Parlia ment of their own, the return of the confiscated lands, and free access to the fisheries by a grant ot the sea board. He said that they respected the Minister for visiting them as they had been anxious to see him in order to as certain whether there was any truth in what the " Luminary " had reported of them in the way of casting doubt upon their loyalty. They thought the Governor had slighted them. They reserved the unveil ing for him, and they wished him to do it. The Queen gave them a Governor, but they were always going and coming. The Hon. Mr Rolleston after explaining and apologising for the Governor's absence, promised to convey their loyal sentiments to His Excellency, and said that in all pro bability he would visit them soon. Since the treaty was signed everything had ad vanced with the times, and they had rail ways, steamboats, and schools. True, troubles had arisen, and some of the branches of the treaty had been broken, and others roughly used ; but the tree had grown and flourished, aud would still do so. He wa3 glad of their determination to stand by the treaty. Mr Rolleston made a laudatory allusion to Tamati Waka and William Clarke, and then concluded by saying that he would take another op portunity of replying to Wi Katene. The speech made a good impression, the natives giving three lusty cheers at the close. About 3,000 were present, exclusive of Europeans. THE DOG TAX. This day. The Honourable Native Minister is still at Waitangi, but will leave by the Welling ton to-day. The dog tax seems to be the great canso of complaint both with the natives and Europeans, and several County Councils have brought the matter before the Government. It is most likely that the Minister will bring the question before the Cabinet, as tho natives will not pay, and the Europeans think that if the natives will not pay, it is unfair to make them,

CONTINUED ANARCHY AND ATROCITIES IN TURKEY.

THE CONDITION OF MACEDONIA. A CORRESPONDENT writing from Constan tinople on December 16th says :—" You are well aware how dreadful is the state of things iv Macedonia. Ever since tho Ber lin Treaty that unhappy province has been the prey of the most criwl sufferings and oppression; hardly a day passes without the perpetration of some murder, and the commission of even more hideous crimes. The Bulgarians in that province "lire ground ' down hv the Turks, and there exists no security cither for their lives or for the honour of their families. The Bul garian newspapers are daily filled with the most harrowing accounts of events occurring in Macedonia, and pri vate accounts acri.ed from independent and trustworthy sources tend to confirm all these newspaper statements. The authorities do absolutely nothing to protect the oppressed Christian, and I am inclined to believe that all tho atrocities Irom which a helpless and defenceless population are now suffering are perpetrated with the connivance of the local authorities, and for aught 1 know, of tho central Government too. Bauds of Bashi-Bozouks are allowed to wander about the country armed to the teeth, and to commit all sorts of outrages upon the pennants and their families. The insecurity of the roads is so grout that people do not dare to leave tho precincts of their homes and villages, much less to travel about the country. Sometimes whole villages are attacked and ransacked, or arc obliged to pay a heavy black mail in order to freo themselves from the unpleasant visits of the numerous brigands who iufent the province in ull directions. Latoly the local autho rities themselves have begun to oppresa and maltreat the people iv an open way. People are arrested and sent to Asia Minor without their guilt being iv any way established, and without granting them even the mock justice fur which the Turkish tribunes ate proverbial, These arrests and banishments are not confined to the men, but aro ex tended to innocent children and blind and decrepit men and women. The Turkish authorities give us a reason for theso wholesale arrests nndjbanishments the agitation said to bo existing among tho Bulgarians for tho purpose of stirring up an, insurrection in the province. This, how ever is uttorly untrue. No such agitation exists ; nnd besides, if that was the niotivo for theso arrests, thero would bu no necessity to lay hands on women nnd children also. The truth of the matter is that the Turks wish to torroriso over tho Bulgarians in order to prevent these Irom giving them any trouble in case a war with Greece breaks out, Four years ago the Turks pursued the same line of action in anticipation of a Turko-Servian war, and allowed or rather instigated tho horrible massacres south of the Balkans. The sumo policy is now being carriod out in Macedonia, aud lost mutters should culminate in events more dreadful than a continuance of arrests and imprisonments, I think -omethinc ought to be done iv England to protest against the conduct of the I'orto, and thus to ward off the impend ing massacres. 1 helicro that more than COO persons have been arrested, some of whom have already been sent into exile in Asia Minor, while others are waiting in tho dungeons of Snlonica to undtrgo the sumo unfortunate fate."

Such is the testimony of hundreds who have tried tho PURE INDIAN TEA Now Soiling at REW'S, Victoria-street. OF the making of books there is no end," wrote an inspired author in the infancy of the world, thousands of years before the art pre servative of all arts was discovered. But book making now ia a very different thing from what It was when old King Solomon labori ously penned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, now a-days the world is almost •' em barras dcs reehesses " o£ learning, " quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in books. And much of this learning is liberally supplied by modern publishers, such as Cassell, Potter and Galpin, Collinß, Chambers, and a logion of others. Not only aro the works issued by these firms of the highest practical use, but they are sent out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of tho remarkable progress that baa been made* in book illumination. Nothing in our opinion tends to civilise or beautify a home so much as good books and pictures. You can form a good idea of a mt»n from his library. The great diffionlty with many in obtaining books of a high class iv nearly every depart ment of literature is the almost prohibitive price at whioh they are issued from the press, and it is really a boon to society when works of admitted-excellence are brought within the reach of persons of moderate means by the admirable System of Time Payments.
