TAUPO, this day.

ASCENT OF TONGARIRO.

The ascent to the volcano of Tongoriro was successfully made by Mr Manson, an American tourist, who, with five guides, climbed to the summit of tho crater of Otiwa on Wednoadey last. He describes the volcano as being an active geyser, throwing streams of boiling mud fully five hundred feet high. Thi interior of tbo cone is surrounded by some thirty or moro boiling springs and sulphur steam holes. The altitude on the summit of theconois 7,6sofcet; thermometer registered six degrees below zero. They wore compelled, through a snow storm, to remain in the crater all night, and were nearly famished with the cold. This is ths first pakeha whom the Ngatitamas have permitted to make tho ascent of the sacred mountain. Others have attempted it, but were captured by natives, and indeed tbe natives have named it Manson Tongariro. The burning mountain is in the King country, and this concession to a pakeha may be considered as strong evidence of their good feeling and gradual breakup of animosities which have hitherto existed between tbe two races.

ATHLETIC SPORTS.

The annual athletic sports in connection with the Church of England Grammar School took place in the Domain Cricket Ground to ■ day. At eleven o'clock, the hour appointed for the start of the first race, the attendance was somewhat meagre, but as the day ad vanced the number of parents and friends of the competitors was considerably aug menied. The boys appeared to take an immense interest in the different events, canvassing the chances of the competitors in stentorian tones, and applauding vocife rously at the conclusion of each race. Mr A. DeLisle Hammond, Headmaster, officiated as starter, and the judges were Messrs Watkin and Pycroft. The times of the principal races were very fair, and the high jump was really excellent. The fol lowing is a precis of the different events:— . _ THROWING THE CRICKET BALL.—Prize, a cricket ball—White, 1 (distance 78Jyds). There were four entries. School Cup.—First heat 100 yds.

SAN FRANCISCO MAIL NEWS.

The recent outbreak of small-pox in Maid stone—particularly remarkable for the large number of seizures within a tew days —has been conclusively traced by the medical officer of health to infection dis nominated in tho sorting of rags at a paper mill. There seems to be no reason to doubt that every case, except two for which other incidental canses arc suggested, was due to this cause.

The German Government has been con ducting a vigorous crusado against tho manufacture of spurious wines on the Ehine. No fewer than 656 casks, each con taining more than 1,000 quarts of

fabricated stuff, wero lately sei.ed at Rudesheim.

SJAn old line of battle ship, decorated for a harvest aervice, with a model brig sur. rounded by fruit and flowers as a central decorative effect, is certainly a novel spec tacle, but was lately to be seen in Ports mouth harbour. The St. Vincent training ship for boys was the three-decker. The fruit was afterwards given to the sick, and a collection which was made was given to tbo Home and Schools tor the Orphan Chil dren of Seamen and Marines.

This year's crops have almost universally failed. The district of Angora again appears to have suffered the most severely, nnd the un> fortunate inhabitants are already beginning to emigrate en masse in search of food, lest winter snows and swollen streams should cut off their communications with the outer world, and they should again find themselves pent up in tbeir mountain homes, without a chanoo of escape, and reduced to the same fearful plight which seven years ago caused fathers and mothers to sell their children for a handful of corn,

The largest salmon |which has been taken in the Spey this season was hatllcd recently on the Gordon Castle water, by Lady Florence Gordon-Lennox, It weighed 301b5,, and Lady Caroline succeeded in kill iug a fish ot 261bs. The present condition of Egyptian finances, in the opinion of Sir Samuel Baker, tho distinguished Africnn traveller, is the best reply to those who have doubted the wisdom of British inter vention in the affairs of the Khedive, In 1878 the Egyptian four per cents., uni fled, were down to 30; to-day they are quoted on the London market at 81.

JOHN BRIGHT- BIRTHDAY.

New Yokk, Novomber 20th.

The "Tribune's "Londonspecial says the celebration of John Blight's seventieth birthday presented no feature moro remark able than tho affectionate rotations existing between Bright and tbe 18,000 workmen in the employ of his own firm, which was shown equally by their enthusiastic demon stration, and his reply to them at Rochdale. Notwithstanding a terrible storm the peeple turned en masse, and many friends from other parts of the kingdom were there. The tone of one of the Press in discussing Bright's career is, for tho most part, oulogistfc, but traces of ancient animosity are visible in the " Tmes " aud a fow other iournala.

THE GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY.

New York, November 20th,—A London cable special says: "The great diamond robbery ar Hatton Garden Post Office has filled the diamond merchants and jewellers with consternation. It is now seen that they have to reckon with foes more dangerous than the old-fashioned burglar, armed with his crowbar and jimmy. London jewellers keep an enormous amount of property in tbeir shops, and one or two superannuated watchmen only are about the place. Sixteen years ago they were startled by a great robbery at Walker's, on Corn hill, where six thousand pounds' worth of watches were carried off right under the noses of the city police by a gang that had the shop under surveillance for about two months. Of course, there y/a. a woman in it, and she "gave It away," otherwise the thieves would have gone scot free. The merchants and others formed a Mutual Protection Society, and for a while the jewellers' shops looked a night like small garrison towns ; but this vigilance did not long continue. The Halton Garden affair has led to a great out cry against leaving the Post Offices in charge of girls, but the plan of the robbery was so well laid that if must have succeeded. A man here haa a Cape diamond almost as largo as the — ohinoor. . It has been on exhibition in a Bond-street window but tbo owner prudently withdrew it after the Hatton Garden robbery, and it is said that, to be absolutely safe, he has left the country.

DR. WALLIS AND COMPENSATION.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—Your sympathy and aid are ever ready for a cause that lacks assistance, and I have no doubt will bo extended to the great champion for compensation, who has been refused his license- to Bit in Parliament, and Is therefore prevented from getting his living by that meana. The Dr. case is of peo-liar hardship: he gavo up his congregation of saints for one of sinner-, In tho Interest of the publlo good ; and after devoting six years of bla time and talent, he Is deprived, or rather refused a " renewal.'' Tho arguments he iibcs in favour of compensat ing the philanthropic publican, when the people by their votes declare that his license which has expired, "shall not be renewed," are equally applicable and sound in his case. Win no one take up the matter, and urge his claims to compensation for tho loss ot his seat 1 Yours truly, John Jenkins.

MR DARGAVILLE AND THE "HERALD."

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Kindly insert, tho accompanying letter, which wasrejeoted by the "Herald" on the pretence that it is "impertinent," I admit that the language used ia a trifle strong, but I ask you and the public to judge whether or not the circumstances warrant it. Had the brace of editors who supply the brains {save tho mark I) for the " Herald " been able to disprove a single statement in the letter, they would have been only too ready to have published it. The conduct of the " Herald," all through these elections, has brought the paper to a lower place than it ever before held in pub lic estimation, which is saying a good deal. I warn Messrs Wilsons and Horton that unless they unharness the pair of weeds they at present drive, and put them to grass, public opinion in Anckland will soon find a better vehicle.—l am, etc., J. M. Dargaville. Auckland, 19th December, 1881.

[Per favour of the STAR.—To the Editor of the New Zealand " Herald."] Sir, —Your paper has persistently misrepre sented my views and actions since I became a candidate for City West. Por instance : In a leader written immediately after my first meeting a fow week ago, you stated that I had become a Pro tectionist only on the eve of the election. When I subsequently proved to you, from your own reports of the Chamber of Commerce meetings for years past, and from letters of mine to the "Herald" over three years ago, that you wronged me, you were not generous enough cither to retract the false statement or to apologise for k. In the same leader you ray that 1 would abolish the property tax, but suggested nothing to replace it. Ia vain I showed yon, from the STAR report of my speech, that I distinctly proposed to re enact the laud tax as a substitute. You neither" retracted nor apologised tor that mis-statement.

After tho election was over, and even | though I had lepeatedly said at my public meetings, and was so reported in your own paper, that I would not support the present Ministry, you untruthfully describe me as a Minis terialist. In to-day's (17th) issue of the "Herald" there are two more false statements from your pen under the heading) "Snap Shots." One is that I concealed from the electors the fact of my being connected with the East Coast Land Company—the truth being that I very f ally explained the whole matter at my meeting in St, James's Eall,and am reported in the Star to have done so. The other false statement in to-day's " Herald " is that my friend, whom (to use your own choice language) I " helped to put in for a place up country "is also interested in the com pany. This last statement is, like the others, an unmitigated falsehood. Mr Mitchelson is in no way, directly or in directly, connected with tbo company, nor docs he or any one belonging to him own a single share in it. Sir, how long is your present mean and cowardly method of disparaging an opponent to be fol lowed? If you will only keep to the truth I shall be prepared for your hostility now or at any time. Your present course of conduct towards me is more degrading to the " Herald " than in jurious tome.—Yours, &c, J. M. DAROAVIL-B. Anckland, 17th December, 1881.
