THE VACANT PORTFOLIO. Another rumour is now afloat that Mr Richardson U to be the coming Minister I ,the vacant portfolio. jjt SWANSON is sending copies of the (Wtable Aids Bijl to the chairmen to all Mda iv his district. He has sent copies „/ the Licensing Bill to those most interested in the question. MAJOR ATKINSON AND SIR GEOKGE GREY. On the second reading of the Chinese Bill last evening, Major Atkinson, having given as a reason why Chinese immigration should be restricted when 5,000 celestials were in the colony, said it was important to have an admixture of foreign blood, which amounted to 1 per cent. In order to improve the breed, Sir George Grey said:—" I coiie gratulatethe Treasurer^ the statesmanlika and philosophic principles on which is basc e the Chinese Immigration Bill and outh 0 great attention he has evidently devoted tj the subject. He tells us that a mixture o foreigners is a great advantage to every nation, and he has carefully ascertained that one per cent, of the population of each race of foreigners is the exact proportion in which the mixture should be taken. This he has provided for in the case of Chinese. This new great principle for producing a model breed, which doubtless will be copied by the whole would, when once established here, I presume, the Government, with its nsual anxiety for the welfare of the country, will see that a clause is added to the bill ia Committee under authority of which funds should be provided for the introduction ot the same proportion of persons from each coloured race, including the much-despised nigger, so that by an assemblage of varied people they may have the credit of haviug produced a new and model race, excelling any hitherto seen.

MR EHRENFRIED'S EXPLANATION.

(To the Editor.) Bffi.—l' is wi'o regret that I find myself drawn into a controversy which my inclina- I tionwould lead me to avoid; but your leader ;j in Saturday* issue leaves no other course open to me. I prefer to suffer in some degree the odinm of an action over which, for the moment, I had no control, rather than enter into a controversy with a newspaper. Now, lir, I trust that no one who knows me will 'imigine that I would sympathise with Mr Phillip's action in removing the wines and ipirits bonded in Messrs Hull Bros.' store, beianse forsooth Mr Peace," their salesman -and bonded warehouse keeper, who happens to be also a strict teetotaller, used his un : questionableright of opposing a,new hotel license in which 1 was interested, such sym pathy would be in the highest degree mis placed, for the action is one that no one regrets more than I do. and could only ■ ■.:l*w been done by Mr Phillips in the heat «f tie moment. Had Messrs Hull Brothers Wfended to me that courtesy which should always exist between business men, and, instead of immediately blazon log the action of Mr Phillips abroad, have communicated with me in order to ascertain it the proceedings com plained of had been undertaken with my sanction, I could have replied satisfactorily I upon that point, whereby much unpleasant ;' neaa would have been avoided.

(To the Editor.)

Mr Ivess is not .»legitimate jonrnalist himself. He is merely a ipeculative "tarter of newepapera who farms them cat of enormous rentals to othora. In my case I paid him at the rate of £150 a-year, quarterly in advance, which was more than equal to two years' purchase on the actual value <H the plant. The copyright and goodwill were abiolutely valneluse, in fact worse thßn.worth te. The advertisements were all " dummies tiith the exception of three columns, and co unpopular was Mr Ivess himself that the japer was universally execrated, and was in tin last throes of death when I took it. Hren with this legacy of unpopularity I put the wnoem on its legs, filled it with good advertise ments, raised the subscription list, and would hve succeeded in permanently carrying it on, lad not Mr Ivess placed me in difficulties by towing on me for the second quarter's rental wma weeks before it was due. whan I could Mtmeet it, owing to the difficulty of getting in debts dne to me, the quarter not having ex pired; and byhia advertising the property for ale or lease In the " Waikato Times." Mr Ivess asjs the paper has been grossly mis managed by those who have had the control of the paper from time to time. So far as I la personally concerned, I say the statement ia •gwea libel. My books will shew that I built Wa nearly paying business out of nothing, ana tEathadit not been for the hasty greed of Mr Iwmhimself, I might have continned the paper. If the venture has been a commercial success to •OJOne, It has been so to Mr Ivess alone, who fm miserable salaries to his employe?, squeezed *» his customers, charged me an exorbitant wot end displayed no consideration when I got **> temporary difficulties, through inability to i»Mn ajy accounts.—l am, &c,

Had often rendered the account, and defendant had paid an instalment.—To Mr Earle : Could not exactly apeak as to dates. HisHcense was at home. Could not say when his license as native translator was granted. It was a long time ago.—His Worship thought this was not essential to the case.—Mr Karlesaid that plaintiff had charged 7s 6d per folio, and it is doubtful whether he was licensed at the time of doing the work. In one instance he had charged 7s 6d for 90 words.—Plain tiff : Mr Graham atireed to give the regular terms. He had a difficulty in getting any money out of defendant. He charged ac cording to Government rules. Had a good deal of trouble in getting Hapi's signature. Two guineas a-day for such work as trans lating deeds and hunting natives was not out of way.—His Worship said that plaintiff's account went over a number of years—from 1867 ; and in almost every in stance money had been paid, without " oq account;" and some of the additional pencil marks were too bright to have been written in years pa3t.—Mr Earle said this was really the defence; plaintif! had been paid for the work done^ and, as plaintiff had said, the charges were made from-hi* own head, and not entered at the time.—^To Mr Earle: Did not remember sending to borrow money of Mr Graham when he was sick.

Mr DeThierry: Machattie's rather deaf, and could not hear what waa said.— Thomas Milne Machattie deposed that he only saw Mr Graham, and gave him the account. He made up the account. Mr Graham said he had paid all that was due to Mr Ue Thierry, and had the receipts in his possession.—To Mr Earl: He made up the charges at the dictation of plaintiff, and presumed they were in the books. Did not strike the charges.—To His Honor: |de did not take every item from the books. In fact the books consisted of a number of volumes.—To Mr Earl: Did not hear any thing that De Thierry had said. He had been smoking his pipe outside the Court. Some little time was allowed for witness to tind the entries.—After some further evidence, plaintiffs counsel!accepted a non suit. JNo costs. T. B. Hannaford v. John Steward.— claim £16 16s.—Mr Lusk ior plaintiff, Mr Thome for defendant, —In this case the plaintiff claimed the sum of £10 according to an agreement, which defendant ought to have expended in improvements in two cottages, and the balance for rent.

He allowed the shingles to fall off. Kept soats in the back parlour, which rotted the floor, and fowls in another. The chimney piece disappeared, and the chimney of one cottage partly fell down. He had re. monstrated with defendant upon the neglect of the terms of the contract. Defendant only laughed at him, Plaintiff had put the cottages partly in repair, which cost him £8 10s. Defendant left the premises in September 1878. Should have sued him before, but could not find him. He slipped away like an eel. Went to the Whau after him. Did not in^uiae at the asylum.-Cross examined by Mr Thorne. Had the cottages been in good repair, he could have got 16s per week for them. He shouted for him at the Army and Navy, as he got three week's rent (18s) out of him. He gave him (plaintiff) 5s commission on a job to attend upon a person who waa i°f aQe-— Mr Thorne saed the defence wa3 that the defendant paid the rent, put the cottages in repair, and when he paid three woeks rent he handed the key to Hannaford, who took the defendant to the hotel and ehouted.— His Worship: That was a clear receipt then.—Mr Thorne : The shout was conclu (Left Sitting.)

THE COMET.

Mr Tebbutt, the first discoverer of the comet, writing from Windsor, N.S.W., in reference to it says that he pointed out on the 26th ultimo the remarkable circuai stunce that the present visitor was found nearly at the same time of the year as the comet of ISGI. "It is still further remark able," says Mr Tebbutt, "that the ap poirent track of our present visitor is some what similar to the comet cf 1861. The CG'tnet now visible is obviously approaching the earth, daily increasing its motion north wards iv declination, while it? right ascen sion varies comparatively but little, it seems probable that it is moving towards conjunction with the sun, and that its tail will, as a consequence, become an imposing object in the course ot a few days. The moon, however, greatly diminishes the effect. On the whole, there is much to warrant the suspicion at least, that our visitor is moving in an orbit which some what resembles that of the great comet of 1861, but after all it is only a suspicion. Nothing positive can be advanced till the orbit is computed, and this work, I regret to cay, T shall be obliged to leave to others. Although urged liy some to undertake the calculations, I cannot venture in my piesent weak state of health to add this labour to any other im portant avocations. In to-day's " Herald " there is .a telegram which gives it as the opinion of Mr Todd that the present comet is. probably a return of the great one of IIJ6I, and also identical with that of 1819 dis covered by Professor Xralles. While agree ing whit Mr Todd, who, by the way, has pro bably not yet computed the elements, that the apparent track of our comet is sufficient to make us suspect that it is moving in an orbit somewhat resembling that of the great comet of ISfil, I must totally dissent from his view that the comets of 1819, 1861, and 1881 are identical. If they are identical, what becomes of the elaborate investiga tions ot the orbit of the comet of 1861, more especially the definitive determination by Dr. Kreutz, of the Royal Observatory at Bonn, from observations extending over a period of eleven months? Dr. Kreutz kindly sent me a copy of his work some months ago, and in looking at its contents I naturally asked the question—How can a series of observations extending over eleven months satisfy so well an elliptic orbit ot 409 years, and at the same time one of only 20 years ? More over, Tallies' comet has a perihilion dis tance of only 0 '34, while that of 1861 has O'S2 for the same clement, or more than double that of the comet of 1819. Surely this fact ought to be conclusive against all suppositions of identity of the comet of 1861 was that ot 1819. The comet was well seen here last evening, and an excellent set of measures obtained from a well-determined star. It was then in declination 22& degrees south. In conclusion, I may say that the object seen by a resident near Uuuijouia. and supposed to have been a comet, cannot possibly be identical with the comet now visible."

THE BROOKES-SMITH BREACH OP

PROMISE.

The breach of promise, Brookes v. Smith (cays the "Ago"), was concluded in the Supreme Court on Thursday. It only re mained during the morning for Mr Justice Stephen to deliver his charge to the jury, and this His Honor did entirely in favour of the plaintiff. He considered she bad given her evidence and behaved in the witness box as a modest, virtuous woman, and there was no reason whatever why any doubt should be cast upon her testimony. The defendaut was by his conduct guilty of fraud of tho most contemptible and mean kind, for he had used methods of deceit common in all cases of petty larceny. He had kept back letters which he should havo returned according to his promise to do so ; and besides that be had contradicted horn self in his affidavit by saying that he had kept back no letters that contained reference to the marriage. The main ques tion, however, for the jury to decide was whether any promise of marriage had or had not been made, If the plaintiff was a witness of truth, a promise to that effect had certainly been made. The jury after a short deliberation, found for the plaintiff damages £200.

BARBAROUS TREATMENT OF A CHILD.

The Ararat Advertiser supplies the fol lowing paiticuiars of a shocking cose of cruelty to a child which took place about three weeks ago at the residence of a selec tor named Robert Malcolm, living about 10 miles from Warracknabeal, bnt which was only brought to light a few days since, an inquiry being held into the matter on Friday last by Mr J. H. Alley, P.M.—"The evidence disclosed a state of things the ex istence of which seems almost in credible within the pale of civilization, A little boy, seven yeara old, named Robert Malcolm, appears to have, been deliberately placed on the fire by his father, and has sustained such injuries that, should he escape with his life, he will he a cripple for the rest of the days. The injuries are of such a nature that the doctor tells us they could not have been sustained by merely falling into the fire, but point to the fact of the child being actually placed upon it in ;i sitting posture, the flesh on the posterior and the back of the legs being charred like the cracknels of pork. A portion of this burnt flesh was removed in the course of medical treatment, and was placed in spirits for preservation. Not withstanding the intense suffering which these injuries must have occasioned, and the statement of the doctor that no one could endure them without uttering screams, that the child must have cried for 48 hours, and that it was impossible for the sufferer to sit down, the sisters asserted that the little fellow never complained, nor cried, and sat down just as usual. The ignorance of the girls, apait from religious subjects, was something lamentable. In fact it is said they neither see nor talk to anyone— not a human being having crossed the threshold of their home. The father was committed for trial at the Ararat General Sessions.

THE YALCA MURDER.—EXECUTION

OF ROHAN. The " Argus " correspondent at Beeph worth wired on Monday the following account of Robert Rohan for murder:— Robert Rohan,, alias Smith, the mur derer of John Shea, at Yalca, near Shep parton, on the 23rd January last, was executed in Beenhworth gaol this morning by Upjohn at 10 o'clock. The condemned man walked on to the scaffold in a calm, deliberate manner, chewing a piece of to bacco, and when asked by the sheriff whether he had anything to say replied, "I have been convicted of the murder, and am prepared to hang for it." The previous evening he said to the governor of the gaol and the Revs. Wm. Brown and Donnes, Wesleyan clergy men, " I have committed several crimes that I ought to have been hanged tor, but I never committed this." All being ready, the executioner pulled the bolt, and the convict was launched into eternity. Death was instantaneous. After remaining the usual hour the body was cut down, and an inquest held upon it by Mr W. H. Forster, P.M., and a jury, who found a verdict of death by hanging. The prisoner, who was 24 years of age, had served several sentences both in Victoria atid New South Wales, in cluding one of 12 months iv Beechworth gaol for larcency in Benalla in 1876, and another of two years and a half in Pentrids;c for robbery at Sandhurst in 1878, under the name of Ernest Smith, alias Rohan. The night before his execution he slept calmly, and ate a hearty breakfast and smoked a pipe next morning, ami on being informed by the gaoler that his tfnie baa come, he answered, "All right," and ap peared but little affected by the near ap proach of death.

(From our Special Correspondent.)

TE VYHITI'S NEW HOUSE. ' All the prisoners incarcerated iv the gaols j of Otago and Canterbury have now been i set at liberty, and gone to Parihaka. Those ' from Hokatika are daily expected at ' Opunake, and v/iU, doubtless, go straight , to Te Wbiti's settlement on their arrival) i Aa a matter of fact Parihaka is now coca l sidcred by the natives to be their permanent ' home, and none of the returned prisoners have gone to their tribal homes to live. Parihaka is spoken of by them as a home ! ami a prison to them, in consequence of the confiscation of their lands, and the . consequent impossibility of their return on , to tnem. Great preparations are being j made for their reception at Parihaka, and the ensuing meeting is expected to be an i important one Bhould the natives have them i all returned. Something is expected from , Te Whiti as to hisfutureinoyements. Credit • is given to that chief for having foretold two , years a9 the tenth of their imprisonment i and the premature release of those sentenced ; to two years ia not attributed to the , leniency of the Government in commuting i their sentence, but considered rather as a proof of the correctness ot Te Whiti's , statement that the'decisions of the Kuro- , pean Law Courts are imperative over his , followers. The release of the native sentenced to three months for sheep stealing at Pwigarchu is viewed in the same light, and the influence of Te Whiti has increased rather than diminshed the attaebmeutof his followers, prisoners or free, has suffered no abatement. His new house ib to be opened shortly, and numerous European delicacies ; have been received at Parihaka for the opening feast. These were presented by the Ngatiawa tribe, and it is said that Tohu, wishing to taste of these delicacies,had a pic presumed to him, which, when opened, * was found to contain nothing but Karno kamo,only a common vegetable marrow, with which f arihaka abounds. A woman was lately shot in the neighbourhood of Pari haka by some sporting Europeans in search of 'game. One shot struck her in the arm and another close to the eye, but the wounds were insignificant, and the natives make light of the occurrence, but blame those who explode guns so close to their cultiva tions, which are full of people. Yearn ago, under a differeut regime from that of Te I Whiti, a wound which bled wouldhavo been j treated as a serious affair. Ngatiama tribe | brought 8 tons of flour to Parihaka last week, which are, with 18 tons already re ceived, the proceeds of their wheat-growing industry in the neighbourhood of Waitara and Urenui. On learning of the death of Tamatawa, the Parihaka natives expressed themselves as satisfied that a man who had lately sold land "to the Government should die, and some said that the money he had received had choked him and caused his death. Such remarks concerning the j demise of an important chief speak little for sympathies of the natives for those who are ' known to be land sellers, fiews has reached Parihaka of the intention of Te Wetere to attempt to survey and settle Mokan, and opinions are freely expressed that should he do so he will be killed by command of Wahanui. The defection of ; Te Wetere from the King party would ap- ■ pear to have aroused the dormant energies of the latter, hence the command given to Kewi. It is generally thought at Parihaka that Bewi and Te Wetere can do nothing should the large body of Ngatimaniapoto oppose them, THE LIGHTHOUSE AND A.C. STATION. The lighthouse at Cape Egmont is nearly ' completed, and will Boon be ready for the reception of the light. It forms a conspicuous object in the land scape, and is seen trom a distance of many miles. The cottages of the light keepers are well-built and comfortable dwellings, and contrast with the raupo huts of the officers and men of the Armed Con« • stabularly. Judging by the appropriation ■ of two hundred acres at Pungarehu, and the laying of the same down in grass, by the A.C., that place is intended for a per manent station, and, if so, it would appear time that something was done towards the erection of suitable buildings. The officers and men have been twelve months under canvas, or in such ti-tree huts as they have been able to construct. At this station the hill has been fortified by elaborate earth works, which should be impregnable against any native attack, and everything poiutsjto the conclusion that a permanent station is intended, and probably no better sight could be chosen in the vicinity of Parihaka. The order lately issued in respect to men of the force being not allowed out from their respective stations after sundown has given rise to a mistake as to the intention of the authorities. The order in question states that no man shall leave camp or be absent after sundown without permission. This permission will be freely given ia asked, and the object of the oflicers is to enable them, by a knowledge of all men in camp and absent, to enquire into any slight dis turbances which may arise in the vicinity of the various posts, and thus limit their in vestigations to those on leave, whilst those in camp are exonerated from all inquiry. The lately aban doned station at Waihi is to be kept as a farm for giving forage for the Armed Constabulary force. Thirty pounds per acre, for the hundred acres on tho station, are said to have been offered by tho gentleman owning the adjoining property who desires to add it to his estate. In these days of retrenchment it would appear wise to sell it and grow forage on the land adjoining the posts on the Plains, at Manaia, or on the two hundred acres at Pungerehu, for instance. Land worth thirty pounds per acre will grow dear forage with Armed Constabulary about, As a matter iof fact the natives of Parihaka deny that anything has been settled, either by the , imprisonment of the natives or the action lof the Royal Commission, The prisoners are all returned or will be shortly : and it is rumoured that the Armed i Constabulary are to be reduced . in number, and those things merely t augur a dose proximity to the Parliament .tary session, not that we have any guarantee

that one shall be free from interruption from Te Whiti in the future. No word of submission has ever issued from his lips, and his sentries stillkeep|»uard at the wheatlield.

A DISAGREEABLE SAINT.

Tunis has suffered a heavy bereavement, and mourns the untimely death of its leading saint, a holy man directly descen ded from the Great Prophet of Islam, During his lifetime this remarkable person age, Sbiek El Mochuen by name, never wore any other garment but a woollen shirt, and made a practice of sleeping on the roof of his house, and with the sky for his canopy and the moon for a night-lamp. He was a pravc and abstemious man, and yet his favourite pastime was the damaging of his neighbour's house property. Every now and again he would sally forth from his own dwelling, armed with a crowbar, and proceed in the most solemnly energetic manner to prise a largo hole in the wall of some mansion which happened to have takeu his fancy. As soon [as he had com pleted his self-set task the inhabitants of the perforated abode quitted it, and it beanie his property, the original owner being liberally indemnified by the Bey for all loss inclined. Whenever El Mochsen called upon the Bey his Highness greeted him with a kiss upon the cheek, an honour soldom'ncenrded by the great man to his own near relatives. Every body in Tunis was afraid of the boly man'; which, considering !the character of his amusements, is scarcely to be wondered at; and his death produced an extraordinary sensation throughout the city. He had scarcely breathed his last when his woollen shirt was carried to the Bey, who, with ad mirable self-denial, declined to keep tho whole of so invaluble a relic, but had it cut into pieces, one of which he kept, distri buting the remainder among his great offi cers of state. El Moschen died ou the eve of his august] ancestor's birthday, and the belief is current in Tunis that he quitted the world thus prematurely in order to avoid seeing his native country foil into the hands of France.

The subject on the programme of the Association of St. Andrew's for perform ance this evening is emitled "Readings from Lord Byron." The opener, Mr J. A. Haslett, will give a brief prefatory review of tbe noble poet's life, following it with a selection from " Cbilde Harold," the Battle of Waterloo. Mr G. J. Lewis has kindly volunteered his services to liil the blauk caused by Mr Blackman's absence. The other gentlemen taking part are Messrs J, Reid, Puge, and Burton. The two latter are to deliver the following items : " Free dom otGreerc, and "Darkness" (a Monody.) Mr Lewis will read "Uhilde Uarold9 Ad dress to tho Ocean." As each of these gentleman possess considerable elocutionary ability, a pleasant evening is anticipated. Visitors are cordially invited to be present.

By persistent re-iteratian a statement, however untrue, may obtain many believers, This is tho case with the allegation on which the petition against the University members of the Grammar School Board was founded. The statement is that these gentlemen were really the nominees of one person—Judge if'enton—and it has been insinuated that the election was secretly worked. As a mntter of fact Judge Fentoa is not a member ot the Senate and could not nominate any candi date ; although no doubt he interested him self as others did in the election. Messrs Brookfield, 'Pole, and Nelson, were nominated by different members of the Senate ; and they were not the only ones nominated. The voting was as fol lows :—Brookßeld. 11; Melaon, 10; Tole, 11; Gillies, 4 ; Bruce, 4 ; O'Rorke, 4; Rol leston, 1; Pollen, 2. The votes given for Sir G. M. O'Rorke were recorded in error, as he was already a member ot the Board of Governor?. Strong efforts were madetc secure the rejection of Messrs Brook lield, Nelson, and Tole, yet their majority was a most substantial one. For the new election of Governors by the Senate, the following have been nominated : Dr. Campbell, Mr Brooklield, Judgo Gillies, and Rev. Dr. Bruce. If the Senate last year had voted in the direction to which it was urged by the opponents of Grammar School reform we should have heard nothing about its unfitness to exercise a voting power, and the petition was probably promoted as much with a view to influence the pending election as anything else. It goes, how ever, a clumsy way about it in attacking the competence and independence of the gentlemen composing the Senate.
