lamentations in the monosyllabic language of the Flowery Land. Soveial of the in mates are impressed with tho extra ordinary belief that they are members ot the Holy Trinity ; and one of the religious maniacs somewhat startled me by abruptly poking his head over the wall and pompously announcing hiniselE as the Lion of Judah. Perhnpa the saddest sight in the enclosure is one of the initiates leading about a lad, the latter, in addition to being bereft of reason; being blind. The elder lunatic apparently commiserated with the greater misfortune of his companion, and displayed the greatest tendemoas to him. The lad's story is a sad one. He was at one time one of the brightest scholars at a pro vincial school, and parental bad treatment was the .means of bringing him to his pre.sentiUhfortunri.te position. The inmates who ate allowed to .be at large may be divided into two classes— those who .work5, and those who won't. The former largely preponderate, some of them working tor amusement, and others because they receive a iarger quantity of tobacco tlian those who prefer a life of indolence. They are principally employed in farm work on the ground attached to the institution. Some of them have a weakness for wood cutting which they are allowed to indulge in to their heart's content. The non-1 workers I .found congregated in a pleasant greim pajddock . near., the. eastern Wing, . find tlieir crazes are quite as peculiar as those of their fellows in .Mis fortune within, the walls. One man had erected a little hillock of earth with a cross at each end, which he stylod " his grave," and there was trouble at once if any one else interfered with it. Another jolly-looking old fellow is afflicted with the cacoethat loqtteiidi, and, I was informed, talks incessantly from " early morn till dewy eve." He tried to draw me into an argument, ombracing some obscurn points on metaphysics, but I was'nt so inclined. I, however, mentally deter mined to mention the matter to some members of the Auckland Debating Classes, who might be inclined to oblige hip. But, 1 have already extendod the article to a much greater length than I originally in tended, and will hare to come somewhat abruptly to a full stop.

H.M.S. CORMORANT AT THE SOLOMON ISLANDS.

H.M.S. Cobmokant, Captain Bruce, arrived in Sydney Harbour on Sept. 11 from a cruise at the Solomon Islands, which occupied nearly five months. Her mission to the islands was for the purpose of inflict ing punishment on the savages who massacred Lieutenant Bower and some of his crew at the Florida Islands; also to endeavour to chastise the inhabitants of other islands for the unpro voked murder of traders. The voyage on the whole has been most successful, especially regarding the visit to tho Floridas, where Bishop Selwyn rendered Captain Bruce material assistance in bringing the guilty natives to justice. The details con cerning this have already been given in these colnmns. The Cormorant sailed from Sydney on April 16, with special instruc tions from Commodore Wilson. She made Ugi on the 27th, left on May 12 j steamed across to Gera, on the Gnadel> canar coasst ; remained one day, and then visited Mboli and Thousandship^Bay, lsabelle Island ; left there on the 17th, and steamed into Utapa Passage, Florida*, on the 18th, where the vessel Southern Cross was communicated with. The chief Kala-, kane, some of whose men killed Lieutenant Bower,was induced to go on board the Cor morant, and, after a palaver, ho turned Queen's evidence, relating the particulars of the murder. He delivered up some of ..lie stolen property from the Sandfly'sboats,con sisting of a revolver, poor Bower's watch, and skull. Kalakana, on condition of re ceiving a pardon, promised to deliver up the murderers. The ringleader of the gang, Holambosa, a most repulsive-looking object, was the first man delivered to the Cormor ant, He admitted the crime, and on May 25, at jMandolania, he Was shot, in the presence of a large nnmber of natives, on the spot where Lieutenant Bower fell. The second native secured was named Utumata, and was the one who shot Lieutenant Bower. A block and tackle was suppliedf rom the Cormorant,and the fellow was executed at Mboli by the chief himself, who ran his man np to the limb of a tree. The third murderer, Tafou, was sometime afterwards delivered up by the Mboli tribe. Be, like the previous two, confessed to the murder. Tafou was taken to Ugi to be executed, in order that an impressive lesson might be given to the somewhat treacherous lot who inhabit that island. The natives,Bo in num ber, were assembled on August 13, and through the interpreter, Mr John Stevens, who is a trader there, were made aware that the execution was on account of the killing of white men. Tafou was then shot. The chief Kalakana's son who had been given as a hostage to the Cormorant, pending the capture of the murderers, was transferred to H.M.S. Miranda. The Cormorant then proceeded to Tavo, and from thence to Russell Island, where Captain Schwartz, of the Sydney trading schooner Leslie, was murdered some months ago. The Miranda landed an expedition at Moco, on the oppo site Bide of tho island, where Captain Wood house, of the Ripple (s.), joined it as guide, also a native youth who was with Captain Schwartz when he fell. The Cormorant's boats were sent round the island, a distance of six miles, and into a long inlet, in order to ferry the expedition across to Cookeys, the offending chief's village. One of the hostile natives was recognised and shot in a canoe, and another one was fired upon,- but with what effect did not transpire. On the second day the Cormorant's party marched by a bush track across to the south-east side of the island, and there destroyed two villages, from which the natives had apparently just (led, as their habitations contained a quantity of food that had just been cooked. The party having all re-embarked, the Cormorant left, taking a war canoe from a chief named Paddy, who is at the head of the strongest tribe at Eussell Island. Paddy promises to capture Schwartz's mur derers. The Cormorant is last from Ugi Island.

THOSE SPARROW-TRAPS. (To the Editor.)

Sib, I supplied one of these articles to Mr Daw son, Waikato. about six years ago, and I have exeouted several orders for sparrow trap 3 slnoe then, 3he sparrow-trap on exhibition at my chop were there, as already etoted, two months before the publication of the Herald's descrip tion. The statement that I borrowed either tools or fittings (rom H. Raf ton is quite untrue. It appears that some of my employees did aocept H.K's voluntary offer to lend them tools, but I do not hold myself responsible for their actions. My son, acting independently of my authority, did send to 11. R's shop to purchase fittings, but the latter refuting payment, agreed to wait until they could be replaced by a like number.—T. Cove.

RAILWAY MANAGEMENT.

(To the Editor.)

Fir,— I would wish to bo enlightened as to the management of the new line just opened to Kaipara. I have always been accus tomed to trains leaving the station plat form, but it appears that the Kaipara train has to be dispatched from fie back of the station, without any regard for passengers, and they have to scramble up as they best may. Men do not mind; but when you have ladies and children it is very incon venient ; and I feel fully satisfied that Mr McDonald is not aware that such is the case, or he would see that some improvement wan made in the departure of the abore train. Ido not complain without cause. I arrived at the Auckland station en route for Kaipara at 4.15 to-day with a lady and children, and of course the cabman took the luggage to the platform (as is usual) but on my asking where I was to put the luggage, was told by one of the railway guards, " Oh, the Kaipara train is at the back of the station," and I had to take my luggage over the rails and then assist the lady and children into the carriage, as though it was a favour to travel by that especial train. After placing the ladies and children safely in the carriage, I went for their tickets, but was told none would be Issued till the preced ing train had been dispatched. Jf this is the way the train to Kaipara i* managed (one may well say), it is only a political railway, and not meant for con venience of travellers, and less for financial results. Just imagine a train being dis patched from the back of the station in any city, and no attention paid whatever to pas sengers, but just let them get on as they can, and be thankful that they do so safely at all. I trust you will make some com ment on the above, and by so doing obtain an improvement in the dispatch or the Kaipara trains.—l am, &c, , t Kaipaba Teavellbb. September 14th, 1881.

There is a great movement amongst Vic torian farmers in favour of Free Trade, at least in farming implements.

(BY TBLKQKA.PH. —PRESS ASSOCIA.TJ.ON.)

CHRIBTCSURCH, Saturday. The whole of the artisans In the railway work shops at Addington atrnofc work to-day, 'they issued an advertisement iv the papers soliciting men in similar occupations to retrain from applying for tho vaoint posts. A. D. Smith, locomotive superintendent, advertiser strikers' places, promising permanent employment for iirst-olass hands at current rates of pay. The strikers say the Government forced 10 per cent, reduction on them during the depression, and refused an application to restore the original wage?* Oa the other hand, it is stated that at the time the 10 pur oent. reduction was made a special arrangement was made th»t these men who aooepted the new scale reducing tho wages 4} to 5 per oent. recently they asked the Government to give them the 10 per cent. In crease on the wages or they would strike. The Governrce»t replied, "Send a reßpeotfally worded application. We will consider it." The men adhered to their determinatioa. The numbers straok are: Blaokamithi, 16; atokera, 19; fitters, 16; machinists, 5; turners, 8: labourers, 2; tinsmith, 1; brasa-fluisher, 1; total, 68. .

AMATEUR ENTERTAIN MENT TO-NIGHT.

The amateur performance m aid of the Onehunga Ladies' Ladies Benevolent In stitution and tho Auckland Domain Cricket Ground, will take place at the Choral Hall this evening. The piece selected for repre sentation is Robertson's celebrated Comedy, " Caste," perhaps somewhat of an am bitious flight for amatenrs ; but from the dramatic talent that the principals of the dramatis personoe are known to possess, we predict an unqualified, success. Mr W. Robinson (who previously has filled the part creditably,) will take the part of Eccles, Mr F. Earle appears as the Hon. George D'Alroy, Mr T, Henderaon junr. as Capt. Hautree, Mr W. W. Robinson as Eccles, Mr C. J. D. Robinson as Sam Gerridge, and Mr L. Coupland as Dixon. The rdle of La Marquise de St. Maur will be filled by Mrs Daveney : Either Eccles, Mrs Carte; and Polly Eccles, Miss Alice Brewer. The orchestral arraugments will be under the management of Mr G. BowriDg.

THEATRE ROYAL.

LYONS TOURISTS,

The three-act drama of " Struck Oil" was represented at the Theatre Royal on Satur day evening, with favourable success. The leading piece was not new to an Auckland audience, still it was .performed with much merit. The character by Mons. Parlato of the Dutchman, was well managed and provoked applause. We were also pleased with the performance of Miss Nina Tnlloch in Lizzie Stofel. Altogether, "Struck Oil" was very fairly represented, and will be repeated this evening. JYLiss Amy Horton interested the spectators with musical olio, and was several times greeted with cheers. The skating acts, by the brothers Wyburd, were exceedingly clever and satisfactory. A number of comic, serious, and Irish songs filled the pauses ; sung by Miss Jessie Leon, Miss Tulloch, Messrs Parlato, Farron, and other members of this pleasure party. The programme will be slightly altered this evening.

GO-AS-YOU-PLEASE MATCH.

The last day of the go-as-you-please con. test at Sydney brought together a gooa number of spectators, and the men walked almost as well as on the first day. Swan still kept the lead which he had held during the greater part of the match, and although Edwards tried hard he was unable to pass him. The best walking was exhibited dur ing the evening from 8 o'clock, when the spirits of the men rose as the hour of 11 approached. Keynor and Williams dit some splendid walking, as did also Swan and Edwards. Le Petit indulged in some antics. This "ped" had not, we believe, had the advantage of a tra:ner, so that the distance which he covered is remarkable. Edwards left (he track after completing 423 miles 3 laps. The men were applauded without any regard to party feeling, and at abont 10 o'clock p.m. walking about in the enclosure was atten ded with difficulty, while on the adjacent walls were seated a numerous audience. _A mistake whicb, we think, misfit be easily remedied, is the tendency of the public to crowd the track. On Saturday evening the track was so crowded that the competitors had barely room to walk alone. At 11 p.m. Swan was declared winner, Edwards second, Kaynor third. Messrs Swau, Raynor, and Williams briefly returned thanks for the cheers given in their behalf. Swan and Kaynor were each pre sented, with a large bouquet of flowers, and were chaired round the last lap. Edwards did not appear. Swan, the winner, is about 26 years ot age, and is a native of Sweden, and arrived some years back and settled in Auckland, N.Z. This is the second time he has beaten Edwards, the other instance being at the tournament held at Launces. ton, where he also beat Baker. He has also appeared in a match of- a similar character at Adelaide, when Edwards won first prize and Swan second. Swan was trained by Carmichael. At the conclusion of the match tho telegraph showed: —Swan, 434 miles 8 laps: Edwards, 323 miles, 3 laps; Rayner, 414 miles, 1 lap; Williams, 355 miles, 7 laps ; Le Petit, 355 miles, 1 lap ; Camp bell, 328 miles. The band of the No. 2 Volunteer Fire Brigade were also in good form, and played a variety of airs.

The eight Wade settlers, who are charged with serious offences, including conspiracy, perjury, and arson, will come up at the Police Court again on Friday next, but it is very improbable that the cases will be gone on with. then. It is the intention of counsel for the .defence to apply for a further remand, on the ground that sufficient time has not been allowed to get together the necessary evidence. It is expected that the hearing of the cases will occupy some considerable time.

TROUBLE ON WAIMATE PLAINS.

Steps Taken by the Government.

NEW PLYMOUTH) this day, SETTLERS COMING IN.

SfeVERAL settlers who were living near Pungarehu, on the newly acquired lands, are coming into town.

The Native Minister, Colonel Roberts, and Mr Parris, with a guard of eight men, went yesterday morning to inspect the fence and ascertain the present disposition of the natives and the numbers that may be ex peoted to resist the Constabulary. If the attitude of the natives is not so determined as reported, he intends thac the Con stabulary shall remove the fence this morn ing. . , . A force went oiit^ but no news has readied here as to what has been done; On the way to Pungarehu tho, Native Minister saw Mr Messenger (a good Maori scholar, and who waiat Parihaka), and asked him respecting the speech published in the papers by the Association. Mr Messenger said it was a fair translation; and in no way exaggerated. OPUNAKE, 2 p.m. Major Stapp to-day is enrolling settlors at Manaia for a Volunteer corps, and to morrow will bo at Opunake; Tho Nativo Minister is now at Pungarihu. He endorses tho action of the settlers in preparing for 'contingencies. At present tho natives aro passive, and appear dis comfited at tho action of the Europeans, 3.2 p.m. It was rumoured in town to-day that native hostilities were imminent, and that Major Atkinson was leaving in the Stella to-night with a strong reinforcement of A.C., also arms and ammunition, to co operate with Mr. Rolleston. This is in correct. Tho {Stella takes a small body of A.C. to-night with stores, etc., but Major Atkinson docs not go, for ho will be Minis ter-in-Chargo of the Government during the next week or so, as Messrs. Anil and Dick are going away to-morrow for a short holi day. Mr Kolleston telegraphs to-day that all is quiet in native matters, and no signs of war.

CHRISTCHURCH, this day.

Over one hundred men had applied before one o'clock to be enrolled in the Armed Constabulary.

FOOTBALL MATCH.

The second of a series of annual matches between the employe's of Messrs E. Porter and Co. and T. and S. Morrin took placo in the Domain Cricket Ground on Saturday afternoon. The weather being very un favourable, a doubt seemed to exist in the public mind as to whether the match would take place, but this Was removed by tho appearance of the breaks at the respective establishments in readiness to. convey the teams to the field of battle. The continued rain caused some delay in deciding as to whether the match had better not be post. poned to a more propitious day—thd players of K. Porter and Co. being unanimous tor postponment. Their opponents seeing that tho day was decidedly in their favor, were determined to play—wish ing to see who waa cock of the walk* Through the sparse attendance of the public (doubtlesa caused by the state of the weather) considerable difficulty was ex perienced in obtaining umpires. How ever, Moors Chambers and Hornsby suc cessfully officiated as timekeepers, Mr F. F, Lees captained the team of Porter's, while Mr G. Swanson, in the absence of :Mr Si Morrin, undertook similar duties for the players of T. and S. Morrin's. From the pavilion the various players, when in their respective positions, presented a very pleasing spectacle, tho team of £. Porter & Co, wearing the Auckland colours, viz., blue and white, while their op ponents were arrayod in a variety of colours. Swanson having won the toss, elected to kick against the wind. It was here remarked that each team was playing only twelve men, the cause being Morrin's inability to raise a full team, viz., fifteen. The ball was kicked off at twenty minutes to four by Culpan, the Morrinites returning it smartly into their twenty-five, when a series of loose scrimmages took place, ultimately forcing Porter's team to touch down. The ball being again brought out, some good play took place, Morrin having a decided advantage, and compelling their opponents to touch down again. During this term, Whewell made a clever drop a goal, the ball passing within a fow yards of the post. Time was called soon afterwards. Judging from the first spell, the game seemed almost a certainty for Morrin's, the weather at this period looking more unpropitious than ever, and the players being drenched to the akin, notwithstanding the ground being nearly ankle deep in -water. During the second term the game seemed to take a decided change in favour of For ter's, who, having warmed to their work, succeeded in keeping the ball well in their opponent's twenty-five nearly the whole time, until It was forced behind, when Mnckie being hard pushed by Lees in his endeavour to touch it down, fell over it, and the ball passing between .his legs was secured by Lees, who was immediately rather roughly handled by Swanson, and the ball taken from him. An argument then ensued, delaying the gamp, which ended by Porter's graciously yielding the point. The ball being again brought into play, wns almost immediately secured by Culpan, who, by a good run, touched down the ball fairly behind their opponents' goal, scoring a try. The ball was bronght out by Lees for a place, when he was rushed and a scrimmage took place. The reason for so aoing was an alleged error in bringing out the ball oa the inside of the post (a very questionable act); and Porter's team again yielding time, was called immediately after. During the next term, the play seemed still to be in favour of the blue and white, who played much better together than their opponents—the forward playing well on the ball, whllo Lees and Culpan, as quarrter-backs, assisted greatly by Steward, as half-back gave their opponents rather a warm time of it. Mcllbraith for Morrin's exhibiting some really good play in the shape of dribbling and collaring, plainly showing that he was no amateur at football. Swanson also must be mentioned, as he collared really well,and played averyplucky game throughout. During this term, loose scrimmages seemed to be the rage a deal of most objectionable backing being indulged in, caused by some of the more unexperi enced players. Iv all probability a second would have been secured by Culpan, only for Swanson unfairly cellaring him when fol lowing up the ball already in their goal, during which Farquhar scoured the ball, and touched down. The ball being aga'u brought into play was obtained by Swanson—[whe made o*good run and succeeded in getting past his man into Porter's twenty-live, where he was cleverly collared and held by Moginie, who, notwithstanding the disadvantage of a lame leg, played gamely throughout, kicking and collaring really well. During the last term theMorrinitesstraincd every nerve to retrieve their loss, .but without avail. Porter's team, showing far more discipline and endnrance, still kept the ball well in their opponents' ground, until Clayton, by a good rnn, carried the ball well through until collared by Moginie. A scrimmage ensued, when the ball emerging was, by some good dribbling on the part of Lees, worked through into a dangerous position for Morrin's, when he was unfairly collared by Mcllraith, and to all appearance, an apparent try, again lost (through foul play), Morrin's touching down again in self defence. The ball again brought into play, Morriu's team made a dash, carrying the ball jwell into Porter's twenty-five, when time was called, the match ending in a win for Porter's, by one try two points, to nil. For the victors, one and all played well, while for Morrin's Swanson, Mcllraith, Lewis and Clayton were most conspicuous.

A little boy, son of Mrs Kcilher, of Grey street, Thames, aged 3 years, died from scarlet fever early yesterday morning, and was buried by the County authorities last evening. It appears that this is the second death in the family, the first having expired without medical aid being called in a few days previously. The second death in the same family natur ally causes the inquiry—were proper steps taken to isolate the children? We learn that Mr Feat, the County officer, had the matter in hand, but experienced consi derable difficulty in keeping the family isolated, in consequencs of the inattention of the mother to his orders. It is a pity that steps are not taken to provide some place where cases of this kind can be treated, and the spread of the disease checked by means of care and nursing, instead of permitting the affected children i to go about the town as they please, which we lire told has been the case m this m etatwe.— To-day's " Advertiser.'^

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

(To tho Editor.)

Sin,—Would you kindly suggest to the parties having charge of street repairs the advisability of laying a small quantity of volcanic earth on the rough scoria now being put down in Queen-street. There is plenty of it to be had in Welloeley-street Eaat, and from its peculiarly binding properties it makes a roadway that will last twice the time of scoria only, besides saving an immense amount of wear and tear to cart wheels, horseshoes, and horseflesh. The mud that is sometimo3 laid on this broken metal is of no earthly uso—turning to ■lush immediately, and having no binding properties.—Yours, &c., Queen-street.
