tioh. He had not the slightest doubt that that was the cause. He knew nothing whatever about the Civil Service examina tions, and therefore could not answer any questions relative to them. He would not mention the names ot those boys who had bitterly regretted the waste of time at the school. The boys might have beeu worked harder, but their failure was the disgraceful state of the school. He should not like to state all that he had heard the Undermastors say of the Head masters. He had heard them speak in disparaging terms of the Headmaster, and that being their feeling this want of accord must have been n serious hindrance to the success of tho school. He did not think that a Headmaster, about whom tbo TJudcr masters used contemptuous expressions, could exert any influence for good in the school. Mr Brooklield nnd Mr Tole thought these expressions should be elicited. Dr. Purchas said that he would give the expressions, but not the names of those who had used them, in order to avoitl any greater bitterness of feeling than existed at present. Mr Macrae submitted that the expressions were valueless unless the names were given of those who had used them. The Chairman endorsed this opinion. Dr. Purchas did not think that he should be asked to repeat things which bad been stated in private conversation. He could not give paiticulura without a breach of confidence. Mr Biookfield said that if this were so the complaint of waut of accord should not have been preferred. Mr Ilesl-Cth submitted that the breach of confidence which the witness so much dreaded had been committed when ho first made his complaint of " waut of accord." Mr Brooklield agreed with this opinion. Dr, Purchas remarked that he would report the axptessious if the Board thought it right that he should transgress the proper rule to respect matters stated in confidence. The Board made no formal request, how ever, aud the cross-examination proceeded. He had heard Mr Tomlinson express him self as dissatisfied with the management of the school and the personal beating of the Headmaster, and ho hud also heard Mr Sloman state Ins dissatisfaction with the arrangements. He had also beard that all the other undermastors attached to the school agreed with them. They desiderated that they should have as Headmaster a scholar and a gentleman, lie had heard it several times stated some years ago that Mr Andeisou had offended against piopriety by making use of low and vulgar jokes. He bad made uo complaint of the matter to the Headmaster, lie had expressed dis satisfaction to the Headmaster about the slow progress of the boys, and he had heard some parents express dissatisfaction also. It "would be an extraordinary thing it there were not dissatisfaction. Ho believed the other masters had done their work fairly well and earned their money while the Headmaster had not. Hedid not know what time the Headmaster devoted to his duties, but he knew that he had been absent from the colony for a long time without the school suffering grievous harm which the school would certainly have sustained had the Headmaster becu doing his duty well. His sole motive in preferrinc. his complaints was the public good, aud his greatest regret was tbat Mr Macrae should occupy tbe posi tion he now did at that inquiry. He had looked upon him as a personal friend.

This closed Mr Macrae's cross-exauiina tion of Dr. Purchas.

Mr Fenton then questioned the witness regarding the writing of the original memo, to the Board and the reasons which actuated him in writing it.

Dr. Purchas said that it was a private communication, and he did not anticipate that it would crop up publicly; otherwise it would have been differently worded.

To Mr Peacock : The principal, but not the only foundation for the complaint ot "want of accord," was the statement, to him of Mr Tomlinson.

Mr Peacock suggested that the Head master should be relieved of bis school duties while the inquiry was proceeding, in order that he might give hia undisturbed attention to it. If Mr Macrae's consent were gained this relief could bo offered him.

The offer was then made to Mr Macrae, and he readily accepted it so far as he could arrange to avail himself of it. He eaid that he could not conscientiously absent himself entirely, but so far as he could he would take advantage ot the permission to do so.

As there were no other witnesses in atteu dance, the enquiry was adjourned till this afternoon, when Mr 11. H. Lusk will be cross-examined.

MINING NEWS.

(FROM SATURDAY'S " COROMANDEL MAIL.")

Pride of Tokatea Tribute.—ln last issue Aye gave the expected result of the crushing of 14 tons of general stuff (Hen derson anil McDonald's tribute) as about 40oz. We are glad to learn that it yielded Sooz. 7dwt. retorted gold. At the time of our visit to the battery the amalgam was being gathered up, so that we could only give an approximate estimate of the yield.

Corby (Mellsop's Tribute). — The wonderfully rich loader worked by this party has produced another small parcel of 141bs. of stone, which was crushed on Fri day for a yield of 280z., being 2oz. of gold to the pound. Crushing after crushing gives a uniform yield of from 2oz. to 3oz. to the pound, demonstrating thereby the ex traordinarily ricli character of the Coro mandel lodes. When will the people of New Zealand wake up and help themselves to the gold which is scattered so profusely throughout these ranges ?

The United Company have six acres adjoining the lona and Union Beach, being part of the old Premier ground. This has been worked for IS months past with vary ing success. Considerable work has been done. A tunnel 250 feet long has been carried in on the big reef. Fifty feet of the latter was stoped down, from which good crushings were had. Some rich gold was also obtained from leaders running into tho reef. The latter is now well defined, and improving in appearance. Another good leaxler has been driven on 100 feet, and a block of 60 feet stoped out, the hist crush ing from which went Goz. to the ton. The third leader followed is the specimen leader, stone from which has yielded 4oz. to the liound. A winze is now being sunk on this cadcr. After going down 24 feet, the manager intends opening out from the level on Stanley's Hill.

Colonel Fraser's Claim.—Mr. George McLeod, after holding the old lona ground and working it for four years past, has sur rendered his right to Colonel Eraser. Mr. McLeod made one attempt to form a com pany, but it unfortunately fell through. Colonel Frascr having taken the mine in hand, has made arrangements for the erection of machinery, and operations will be commenced forthwith. Former trials of stone from somo of the workings gave very satisfactory results. The last tlirce tons crushed yielded looz. of gold. On Saturday last Mr. Lloyd surveyed the ground on behalf of the new proprietor. Knox has pegged off the adjacent ground, und is putting in a low level to catch McNeill s reef at a depth of fifty feet.

RE GARRICK CLUB.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Amongst your scintillations of Satur day's issue, one relating to the Garrick Club demands explanation, viz., "That no infoi niation had boen tendered to Mrs Glover (the recipient of a beneiit managed by tho above Club) as to the actual pecuniary re sults therefrom." As such an announce ment as this may possibly prejudice any uninitiated, with your kind permit I beg to offer an explanation pro bono publico. The prime movers of the affair were a Good Templar Lodge, of which the' late Mr Glover was a member. This lodge, by a deputation ruled by a Mr Wilcox, waited upon our stage manager with suggestions tbat an entertainment should he given in aid of Mrs Glover and family. The Club unanimously agreed that such should even -tuate, depending upon the reiterated state ments of Mr Wilcox that they (the lodge) would get rid of a quautity of tickets, which they eventually succeeded in doing for the fabulous amount of 14s.

As expedition was the object in view but four days elapsed between the moot of a benefit and it. completion, which will give some idea of the trouble and time exhausted to place a creditable performance before an audience at to short a notice. The house was shockingly meagre, owing in a groat measure to the drawing of Mr Abbott's sweep being held the same evening. A member of the Club was deputed to wait upon Mrs Glover aud acquaint her with tho financial result, which, on meeting her in the theatre, he succeeded in accomplishing, co that the statement referred to utterly lacks integrity. The following is a correct analysis of receipts and disbursements :— Advertising and printing, £4 183 ; rent for ball, £3 15s ; piano, 15s ; orchestra. £3 10s; sundries, 7s 6'd. Total: £13 5s Gd! Cr. cash at door, £8 lis ; tickets sold, £1 IGs; right to sell fruit, 10s. Total : £10 17s. Loss sustained by members, £2 8s 6'd. Total: £13 5s Cd. Apologisiug for thus monopolising your valuable space, and trust ing you will find room for these remarks in defence of the Club,—l am, &c, G. B. Gerald, Hon, Sec. A.G.C., Pro. Tern.

OUR VOLUNTEERS

1 The members of the Auckland battalion i underwent their monthly inspection last night iv the Drill-shed. There was an unusually large gathering, and altogether formed an interesting scene. Iv conse quence of the unavoidable absence of Major Withers, Major Derrom called the muster roll ; and at the conclusion of tho prize presentations, he put the men through their exercises and various battalion movements, The Victoria, No. 3, Hobson, and Scottish Companies were well represented, and their movements and evolutions were creditably performed. The prizes won at the recent competition of the Auckland Ride Associa tion were presented by His Worship the Mayor (J. McCosh Clark, Esq,). The men were formed into a hollow square, tho Victoria men lorming one wing, the Hobson's another, No. 3 and Scottish being placed in the centre. His Worship delivered au encouraging address to the parade to the following effect :— Gentlemen volunteers : I havo been asked by Captain Mahon to present the prizes won at tli3 recent competition of the Auckland biflc Association, and I presume I have been asked iv a twofold capacity : first as Mayor of the city, and in that capacity I felt great pleasure in complying and making the presentations, for tho3C in office ought to take an interest in what tends to develop the muscle and the discipline of young men; I was also asked, as au old volunteer, and on this account it afforded me great pleasure, to accede to the request and be present to night. lam always pleased to look at volunteers, and, so to speak, to take their measure and compare them with what we were when I was it volunteer. I might also have been asked as a member of the Rifle Association. Ido not know whether lam now a member, but if not, this ihould be a good hint to the secretary to put mc down on the list for next year, Before present ing Iho prizes, I have to say that I regret that Auckland has not done better in the recent colonial competition at Nelson. Since I came to the hall I have asked tho cause, and have been informed that there has not been sufficient practice. I would say to the volunteers, and especially to the young volunteers, "do not be dis couraged. If you keep your heads clear, your nerves steady, aud practice at the targets you will yet come to the front." His Worship then proceeded to baud the prizes to the successful competitors, with a word of encouragement to each man, viz., Mr Beck's silver cup to Volunteer Maxwell of No. 3 Company, tho Star cup to Mr Henderson, and Dr. Campbell's epergne to Sergeant Taylor. Major JLierrom then thanked his Worship, on behalf of tbe battalion, tor his kindness in coming for ward to present the prizes, and was sure that Captain Payne felt equally grateful. Major Derrom then commented on his Worship's remarks, and believed if his Worship's advice was carried out, and more attention paid to drill and discipline, as was the case when he, the speaker, and Mr Clink were volunteers, the Auckland Com panies would be equal to auy volunteers iv New Zealand or out of it. Major Derrom then called for three hearty cheers for his Worship the Mayor, and for his lady, Mrs Clark, the donor of the district prize. The call elicited a hearty response, the band playing tho accompanying airs. His Wor ship briefly returned thanks for tbe com pliment paid to himself and Mrs Clark. The battalion then dispersed with music and the usual formalities.

ST, PATRICK'S DAY.

St. Patrick's Day this year will prac tically assume the rank and deserve the character of a public holiday. Everything conspiics to render it f-o. The elements arc most auspicious. The consent of tho leading tradesmen has been gained, the Mayor has publicly signified bis acquies cence, and the citizens generally are manifesting a decided disposition to avail themselves of the means of pleasure and recreation which are offering. First in order of magnitude amongst the demonstra tions will be the procession of the Friendly Societies from the rendevouz at the Grey street Junction to the Domain Cricket ground, whore a capital programme of athletic sports will be carried out. A baby show will also bo one ot the features of tho day's proceedings. Tho Societies which are expected to take part in the Demonstration, are the Oddfellows, Forresters, United Friends, Hiberuiaus, Rcchabitcs, aud Good Templars. The children of the various Roniau Catholic educational institutions will be marshalled at an early hour, and under ellicient direction and control will also march to the Domain, where complete arrangements have been made to entertain nml amuse them.

The great iittrutioti for sporting men will undoubtedly be Henderson's Mill races. A train loaves Auckland nt 11.30, and will convey visitors right up to the course, so that, given such ready acccsh to tho turf, the attendance of the public should be very large. Impcy's band has been engaged to discourse selcctious of music during the day. Of the other projects of pleasure which arc afoot, it will suffice for us to mention tho excursion of All Laints' parishoners to Motuihi. The City of Cork's trips to Ornkoi and tho Coromandel'h trip to Uoro ninndel. This last named steamer leaves this cvenisg at (J o'clock. Shorty before twelve o'clock to-night tho Hobson Band following their usual custom will commence to pnrndo the city playing national airs tho while

WELLING TON ASYLUM INQUIRY.

[BY TELEIiI-.-PlI, OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

WELLINGTON, this day. The only new features in the Asylum Inquiry are, that the Chairman detected an addition to tlio medical journal indiflireut ink, and evidently of luto date, toning down Mcintosh's jcuse. Whi chiw could not explain why tin's was the only altera tion to bo found iv the book. He also admitted that he did nee believe Miss Brigdon was really his cousin only a cousin by adoption. Ho persistently declared that his mother bad received all her salary except a few|pounds, and that he was taking care ot her £100 legacy at her request. The duration ot the enquiry is uncertain, but the present impression produced is very unfavourable to the management.

THE SNOW STORMS AND GALE IN ENGLAND.

A WATER FAMINE,

At Plymouth for upwards of a week tbo residents suffered from water famine through the freezing of the stream which feeds the town reservoir. Hundreds ol soldiers and labourers were employed to open the channel through the ice aud snow, but tbo water froze aa fast as it was uncovered. The Great Western Railway lias hail to take water to Plymouth to supply tbe tauks. The severe weather broke down the engine at the Windsor waterworks, thus depriving tbe royal borough and Eton of their water supply. At Portsmouth the snowstorms were especially heavy. Tbo street, .vcro blocked with snow from 3tt. to 15ft. deep, houses were in .ome instances quite snowed up, policemen were lost in the dntt, wild bares sought refuge in the centre of tbe town, and snow ploughs wero em ployed to clear a way through tbe streets. in Staffordshire aud Worcestershire tbe weather caused a standstill at tbe collieries, iron works, forges, and brickyards, and thousands of men are without work. The distress is very great, and relict committees are being organised. LIFE SAVED. With such a fearful sacrifice ot life, both on laud aud sea.it is giatifying to learn that during the recent gales 143 lives were saved by tho gallantry of the lifeboat crews ou various parts o£ the coast. During the pre valence of the frost numerous kitchen boiler explosions took place, attended iv several instances with great destruction of property aud loss of life. Previous to and since the gale an immense amount of skating was in dulged in,happily with fewer casualties thau usual. On the"last two Sundays it is estimated that fully 100,000 persons were disporting themselves ou the various orna mental waters of tbe metropolis, and ou week-days at night the Serpentine was covered with skaters carrying lanterns and torches. It ia reported from Scotland that last Sunday Loch Lomond was visited by 40,000 persons. ON THE CONTINENT. The British Isles are not alone in their misery. Most continental countries are similarly afflicted. Eroni all parts of Prance severe weather is reported, aud Paris felt tho full force of the arctic storm on the 18th instant, but the thaw set iv more rapidly there than here, and the municipal authorities speedily cleared away the suow and slush. Serious inundations occurred in the southern parts of Europe. The swollen boundary river between Spain and Portugal carried away some bridges, and on the 21st Madrid awoke amid a heavier snowstorm than had ever been recorded pre viously. At Geneva on the 19ih the weather was of a most extraordinary character. Within a few hours it froze, hailed, snowed, rained, thundered, lightened, and blew a tempest. In Gprmany many of the leading rail ways were snowed up, and communi cation with England was inter rupted for days. Floating bridges Were re moved from the Rhine, and the traffic stopped by pack-ice. The Elbe was frozen, and other northern rivers blocked. The thermometer was down to 30dcg. at Berlin. Copenhagen was cut off from all sea com munication, and railway traffic in Schleswig and Jutland was carried on under immense difficulty. Similar severe weather pre vailed across the Atlantic. Heavy snow storms have broken down the telegraph wire, blocked the railways, and seriously I impeded business for several days, with the exception of a transient relaxation on Sunday. The rigorous frost contiuued unabated till Wednesday evening last, when the wind shifted to the S.E. and the temperature became mild. A line rain descended, producing a, gradual thaw. The thermometer rose 25deg. in about 30 hours. The change occurred simultaneously in the country and iv tlio metropolis. Many thousand persons have been employed in clearing away the snow. Replying to a complaint as to the slowness of its removal, Sir J. Hogg, the chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, states that nearly 9,000,000 tons of snow have fallen in the London streets, and tbe perßous employed in clearing it have generally been I ankle deep in slush, while 100 miles of snow still line the sides of the roadways.
