WANa/VNUi, this day-—Mr Watt, one of the candidates for Wanganui, addressed a large meeting of eloctora last night. A vote of thanks and confidence was moved and seconded, followed by an amendment of thanks and no confidence. Mr Bryce, who was present, was called for by a •ection of the audience, and came on the platform.. Great uproar ensued—cheers and hhtes mingling—and cries were raised of " not an elector," " Ministerial influ ence," "undue influence," "turn out," and a hearing was refused. The Chairman, after obtaining silence, ruled that Mr Bryce not being an elector was not entitled to speak. The amendment was carried.

UNITED FREE METHODIST CHURCH ANNIVERSARY SOIREE.

The congregation of this church celebrated their tenth anniversary last evening in the school and church, at tbe junction of Fitt and Vincent-streets. An ample tea was provided at 6.30, of which a goodly number partook. The following ladies attended at the tables, Mesdamea Adlingtoo, Gilbert, Johnston, Taylor, Trigg, Watcrhouse, and Watt, and the Misses Hayes and Platt. The meeting was held in tbe church, at which Mr Jas. Coupland presided. The proceedings opened with hymn 645, " Come Let ufl Join our Cheerful Songs," and prayer by Mr French. Mr Trigg next read the report for the nine months, and explained that their last meeting was held nine months ago at the time of the departure of the Rev. It. Taylor, and by holding their anniversary now, they were holding their services in the proper month, which would be kepi to in future. He said the present year, though failing to realise all their hopes,had been in many respect* »s good a year as they had ever enjoyed. Hard experiences bad been endured, still a healthy tone pervaded their services, especially their Sunday evening prayer meetings. They had a net increase in membership of 30, new converts, 23,15 of whom were from the Sunday school, and 7 by note of dismissal from other churches. Total, 143. The number of scholars in the Sunday-school amounted to 224, with 22 teachers. The supporters _oi the church hoped soon to be in a position to erect a school of larger dimensions, and they had nearly £500 towards that object. The young men's Bible class was also progress ing and doing a good work. Duringthepast year a friend had given £35 towards liqui dating the debt upon the church, to which the committee of management had added £15, thua reducing the debt by £50, leaving the debt now due at £450. T)r. Render dine also had sent a donation of £5. The income from various sources had been £377 4a 3d, which had been expended in insurance, repairs, and necessary expenses. The chairman, Mr Coupland, delivered an excellent and en couraging address, and was glad to see the representatives of other churches present, which was a good sign that the day of a closer union of churches of various denomi nations was approaching. The speaker re ferred to the spirit of enquiry which was abroad and was to be encouraged. Such ?[uestions as the nature and duration of uture punishment: the second coming of Chiist, how and when; and life only in Christ, conditional immortality &c, were engaging the minds of men. It was for the church to guide these enquiries. He was glad to see that the levised edition ot the New Testament was attracting much thought, and that thousands were now in the habit of searching for, the truth, and which wonld lead to happy results. The Rer. James Guy, of Franklin Koad, gave an excellent address on " Christian Unity," Mr George Hemus on "Working and Praying," and Key. Tho». Hodgson on "Personal fteligion." These addresses were excellent in design and aim, and full of suggestions in relation to the growth of religion in tbe son! aad in active life Daring the evening a number of hymns and anthems were sung by the choir. Mr Trigg presided at the harmonium Solos were sung by Miss Derbyshire and Mrs Willows, A general vote of thanks was propssed by Mr Tattersall and carried by acclamatiou. The whole closed with the benediction.

MR HURST AND THE COUNTRY DISTRICTS.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—Mr Alison stated in his address at Devonport last night that Mr Hurst bad not obtained from the Government any money for the outlying districts, but what money had been got had been obtained by Mr Reader Wood. I beg to say that this statement is absolntely false. lam in pos session of correspondence which will prove the truth of my statement. Further, I will say that Mr Header Wood has never even taken the smallest interest in the district aurrounding the Wade. He was never asked by ma to obtain any assistance from the Government, nor did he ever proffer hia services in that direction. Mr Hurst, on the contrary, has always taken the liveliest interest in the country district?. To him therefore I appealed to secure the interest of the Government on our behali, and with the result of having obtained most valuable and necessary assistance dur ing the last year for tho JPukeatua Highway District. It is with reluctance that 1 ap peal to you to publish this letter, but when I 869 a candidate endeavouring to secure his return to Parliament by the means of statements which I know to be entirely destitute of truth, it becomes my duty to publish an official contradiction.—l am, & Cif Jambs Dodd. Chairman, Pukeatua Highway District Board. Uevonport, December 7th, 1881.

Last evening the usual monthly meeting of the Wellesley-street Total Abstinence Society was held in the school-room ad joining the church. The meeting opened with prayer by the. Chairmen (Mr Joshua Kobinson, Vice-President of the Society), and was followed by a duet by the Miaaes Brame; Mr Griffiths then gave an eloquent discourse on the influence of drink, and the evening was very pleasantly spent with a very good recitation from the Secretary of the Band of Hope Union (Mr MacDermott.) The Chairman intimated to the members of the committee present that there would be a meeting for the consideration of certain matters of importance on Monday evening at half -past seven in the school-room.

FEARFUL STORM THROUGHOUT

ENGLAND.

Throughout the night of 14th October, and the greater portion of the two following days, a galo of wind blew which will leave its record in many a sad tale of wreck and death. Ot such tempests London knows little by experience, and rarely hears of them save when the coasts and seaports send tidings inland. A vast city protects itielf in tome measuro from the violence of a storm ; its houses shelter each other, so that, except for falling chimney-pots and rattling windows, the furious blast which is driving ships from their anchorage, or dashing them on a lee shore, passes almost unnoticed. The inhabitants of the metro* polis, however, had no need this time of mournful telegrams arriving from every point ot the south-western and western shores of the kingdom to tell them that an extraordinary and destructive storm wa« blowing. A tan early hour on the 14th October tho frantic gusts, which howled and roared and drove tho heavy rain against the casements, awakened many a sound •leeper. Those who were already abroad saw the wild scud flying across the sky.the leaves whirling through the air and along the streets, end the vicinity of tho parks and squares strewn with large branches of the trees, which were violently tossed, clothed as they were in the almost undiminished foliage of summer. In Kensington Gardens a score at least of fine timber trees, with many newly planted saplings, lay victims to the Hast. An elm which fell down at Haverstock-hill killed a cabman. In Burlington-street, near the Arcade, the front of a public-house was blown clean out, crushing a cab which Btood underneath. All kind of curious or lamentable tales come in, telling of the damages wrought by the storm among the buildings and parks ot London and other towns and cities. The roof of a baker's shop was blown off in Wych-street, Strand. Oxford has suffered severely. Many of the splendid elms ornamenting the Broad Walk and the various College gardens hare been levelled to the ground, a loss irreparable for a century to come, for beautiful buildings can be restored, but the stately trees which form so grand a part of the picturesqucness of such a city cannot bo soon replaced. At Bournemouth the vane and cross of St. Peter's Church were blown oll',and fell crashing through the roof on the seats of the worshippers. Tele graphic wires are on all sides overthrown by tke wind, and the Postmaster-General warns the kingdom to expect delays and lost messages. At Windsor serious mis chief has been done to the timber about the castle and in the Long Walk. At Trowbridge atrain from Salisbury was very nearly wrecked by luunhiq into two over turned trucks which had been fairly blown from one line to the other. But it is, of coarse, the seaport towns and villages which have the worst accounts to contribute. Swansea and Cardiff reported having had an awful night, with frightful seas. At Lytham a perfect hurricane prevailed, sweeping over sea and land, and swamping every one of the smaller craft at an chor. All round those of our coasts which lie open to the south-west, and west, similar messages of destruction and distress poured ] in. We bear of mail steamers forced to put back or to stay in harbour; of vessels ssen for one moment labouring In the sea,and at the next lost Bight of; of others driving with torn sails and splintered spars before the tempest. The flagstaff on the Chain Pier at Brighton was split, the waves washed over the Capstone Rock at Ilfracombe, and large craft in harbour,which might be consi dered safe, were in several instances dashed together, while a vessel in the South-West India docks was capsized bodily. The wrecks during the week were 130 British and foreign, of which 105 were British, 15 being steamers, making a total of 1367 for the present year, or an increase of 364 as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The increase on the week was 104. The approximate value of property lost was £8,000,000, including British, £6,000,000. Eighty-five vessels, chiefly British, were lost off the coast of the United King dom dnring the gale, only twenty being wrecked in the early part of the week in different parts of the world. The lives lost and missing numbered 133. ATTEMPTED SALE OF THE GREAT EASTERN.

It was a classical writer, I think, who first said that the pride-of one generation it the disgrace of another. At ill events, the truth ot the adage has received a new ex emplification in the abortive attempts which have been made to sell the Great Eastern steamship. At the time of her launch the Great Eastern cost nearly £250,000, and even then a large outlay was required before she was tit to go to sea. Two d»ys ago she was put up for auction in the city of London, and bought in by the vendors after the highest bid of £30,000 had been made. For many years she has been lying idle, or occasionally engaged in laying a telegraph cable, but for this pnrpose she has been found to be less commodious than ships a quarter of her capacity, but constructed specially fov convening cables. If »he were half her size she would be 'worth twice her present value. She is too large to eu through the Suez Canal, or else she might perhaps have been utilised for the Australian or Indian trade. She has been tried for the American trade, and in this re spect also she has proved a gigantic failure. When she came over from New York she—a vessel capable of carrying 2,000 passengers had to be content with 200. What her ulti mate fate may be it is diificult to say. If only she were made of wood she would be worth something to break up; but the dis integration of an iron ship costs as much as it is worth. Aba transport she could carry 8,000 soldiers in her hull, but no Govern ment wonld care to trust so large a portion of the British army in one bottom. Like many nations, her size is her misfortune, and it may be feared that she will prove to be a "white elephant" to any one who may buy her. '

Solicitors: Messhs, Jackson & Kusskll, Fort-utreet, Auckland. Engineer: Jab. Stewart, Esq., M. Inst. G.iS,, Late District Engineer. Interim Secretary: Jas. Stewaut, Esq., tt.E. The proposed railway will be about seventy four miles in length, and commences at a point on the Hamilton-Thames Railway, near the town of Morrtnavlllo. From this point it rnna southward through the centre of the jjreat valley of the Upper Thames, by a very easy route, for a distance of thirty-five miles; it then mounts to the wooded platean which divides the Upper Thames ana Tauranga cUatrictn: from tula It descends, by an easy route, to lea tornilnus at the Town of Ohinemutn, making a further distance of thirty-nine miles. This com pletes an unbroken chain of railway communi cation hetween the City of Auckland and the Hot Lake Dißtrlot, which Is the central point of attraction for tonrlsti to New Zealand, The case of the line has been estimated—after oxploration—by James Stewart, Esq., late Diß trlot Knßlnoor, to be £2,009 per mile for the first section of 35 miles; of the remainder, 24 miles will cost £3.000 per mile, and the remoininK )5 milos, about £16uQ per mile; malting a total cost for construction (of the olaas of the Government railways, and oxolusiva of rolling stook) of £209,500. The cost of buildings and rolling atonic is estimated at £38,000, maklsg a total ooat of £247,600. It Is proposod to oonstrnot the Railway in two BOotlons; the first section of 33 miles under the provisions of "The District Railways Act, 1877," by which, on approval by the Government, the Colonial revenue is security for interest on the oast of construction and equipment not ex ceedlnK Z per cent., and the neighbouring lands (rated in proportion to the benefits derivable from tho construction of the line) are liable for Interest tot exceeding a further fi per cent, thus giving a certain interest of 7 per cent on the investment, even if the line itself only pays working expenses. The majority of the land holders abutting on this section have expressed their willingness that their properties shall bo brought under the operation of " The Dißtrlot Hallways Act, and the Amendment Act, 1878.' For the construction of the second section, passing, as it does, mainly through satlve lands, which it Is not possible to bring under "'ihe Dlstriot Railways Acts," it is proposed to work. If possible, under " Tho Railways Construction and Land Act, 1381." By tliis Act the Colonial Government is empowered to contract with a Company for the construction of this Railway, among others, and to grant suoh lands as are available as an endowment. In this cose only 28,000 aoros are available, situated in the Pato tore country. This would not be a sufficient endow ment, without rating powers, to warrant tho construction of this section of the line, but the native proprietors have, in addition, agreed to Itive a considerable area of land to tho Com pany. It is also proposed that tho Company bhonld acquire, by purchase, a further portion of native lands adjacent to the line, which may be expected to be largely increased In value by its construction; and, with this view, the capi tal of the Company has been fixed at a Bum miffioiont to Include suoh purchases. By this means, it is hoped the construction of the second seotiqn may be undertaken almost simultane ously with the first. The prospects of immediate and very con siderable trafflo on the line are as good, or bettor, than can be shown on any new line in New Zealand. The rapid strides made during the last few years In the Upper Thamoa and Waitcato district*, show that the country has a power of production and of supporting a large population in proportion to its area-equal to almost any other part of the colony. The pro jected railway line will open up an area of from 1,500,000 to 2,000.000 of acres of available land, a largo portion ready for Immediate occu pation, but at present wholly unoccupied, owing partly to the want of moons Of communication, and partly to the fact that a portion of this ter ritory has but recently been acquired from the native owners. The settlement of this extensive area must necessarily, for some years to oome, create a very large Import traffic, and year by year, as settlement progresses, the export trafflo of grain. Block, and other produce mint also in crease to very large dimensions. But, inde pendently of tho ordinary sources of supply towar;lr a railway trafilo which agricultural and pastoral settlement or the country affords, there are special reasons which justify the expectation of an unusually rapid development of a varied, extensive, >nd paying business on this line. It Is now generally known that the purchasers of the lands known as the Patetere District are taking active atopa towards the immediate colo nisation, by comparatively small holders, of the whole of the lands they have acquired, or are acquiring:, through the agency of a powerful com pany in England. Tbo importations consequent on tho introduction of a large population cannot fail to be very considerable during tho first years of their settlement. Again, the line in its course to Ohlnomutu. taps a valuable forest of magnifi cent Itlmbor, from which—as soon as the line is completed so far —the whole of the Upper Thames and Waikato districts will undoubtedly draw their supplies of timber for house build ing, fenoing, and fuel; and last, but certainly not least, the large and ever increasing stream of tourists visiting >few Zealand irom all parts of the world, attracted by the wonders of Ohlnetnutu and Rotomahana, will certainly prefer to use this line of railway, which will convey them easily in one short day from the city oc Auckland to the Hot Springs, by an easy and mojt interesting routs, thus giving to the line the exceptional advantage of a large p&Bsenger trafflo at once, quite irrespective of ihe ordinary passenger truffle of the country. It may also be pointed out that for] a distance of fully forty miles tho proposed line must, at a future and not very distant date, form part of the main line connecting Auckland with Napier and Wellington, through the Interior of the island. Regarding the trafflo which may be expeoted a comparison may be made with the existing lines in Auckland. Seeing that on these lines there are many miles of unproductive country,. and that the valleys of the Piaka, Waltoa and Thames are largely settled and stocked (and by tho time tho line is open may be expected to be fully bo), looking also to the scheme for the set tlement of the Patetere country, the Provisional Directors think the comparison a fair one. The latest roturnß of the Kaipara-To Awamutu rail way show a net revenue of £193 per milo per annum. This would give on the first section of thirty-eight mllos, a net revenue of £7,334, or 7J per cent, on 0100,000. Estimating the revenue for the five yearn' working at only one-half that of the Kaipara-Waikato line, Si per cent, will be obtained, leaving only Si per cent to be made ap by tho District Rate and (Government con tribution, or a little over Xi per cent, and under 1 per oent respectively. For these reasons, and for others too numor ous to mention, the Provisional Directors feel folly justified in recommending the under taking to tho Publio sb a work of, national as well as local importance. As an Investment of capital, it will be directly remunerative, and they confidently expect the hearty Bupport of the people of Auck land, both town and country, in a work which cannot fail, immediately on its completion, to add, as no one undertaking has added before, to the population, production, and the import and export trade of the whole Provincial Dißtrlot. The Nominal Capitol of the Company is pro posed to bo fixed at £100,000, ia 400,(100 Shares of £1 eaoh. Tho first Issue of Shares to be 200,000, on which it is not intended to call up more than 10s per Share and it is anticipated that 5s per Share will suffloo as patd-up capital, for the first section of the Railway, "bßoaune it is proposed to exorclso the borrowing powers conferred by the Acts. On the proseoutlon of the second section, it will be a question whether to Issue more Sharea, or make further calls on those already issued. The payments on the first issne to be la on application, and the balance by Calls of la each, at intervals of not less than two months,, Applications for Shares to be made to the Secretary, Shortland-ulroet, or through author ised agents. E70,000 Shares have already boon taken by S3 subscribers, in amounts not less than 1,000. As it is anticipated that the whole of the Sharea will ba rapidly taken up, early application will be necessary, Priority of application will be a factor in tho allotment of Shares by the Dlreo tory.
