<BY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

TAURANGA, this day. A ROW took place between some Europeans •and natives on the Strand last night. It -commenced by a native throwing a pewter «nug at the barmaid of the' Commercial Hotel.

Un tbe arrival of Serjeant White aud the police the disturbance was quelled but not before one or two natives had received rough treatment-, at the hauds of the Europeans. Two natives wore bronchi before the R. M. to-day, one being lined 40sand the othercasoadjoum.d. The princi pals in the tow aie still to be brought up.

THE DYSART PEERAGE.

Extraordinary Complications.

(FROM LONDON " DAILY NEWS," MARCH 8.)

THE decision pronounced yesterday in the House of Lords by the Committee for Privi leges will have been generally anticipated by all who have read the evidence on which it was founded. The Dysarc peerage case is, indeed, more interesting as a revelation of social eccentricity and moral depravity than as a question of legal nicety or an instance of conflicting evidence. The Scotch law of marriage has been adequately illustrated, and sufficiently villtiied. Over and over again the devolution of pro perty and the reputation of women have <umed upon the precise fulfil ment <. its lax, and, at the same time intricatoprovisions, aud Mr Wilkie Collins does not stand alone in havine dressed up some of its peculiarities into the form of an extravagant, is amusing, fiction Everybody now knows that a man and a woman may be married in Scotland with out the performance of any oeremony, religious or secular, while all who are ac quainted with the judicial practice of the House of Lords are aware that that body will be stute to find objections to the selling up of one of these anomalous unions against a marriage formally con tracted and publicly acknowledged. In this case the balance of evidence was so strongly in favour of tho lady with whom it was admitted that the late Lord Huntingtower went through the form of marriage, that no such prepossession was required iv order to determine the judgment of the committee. The questiou to be decided was the conilictiug claims of William John Manners Tollemaehe and Albert Edwin Acford to the Earldom of Dysart, in the peerage of Scotland. The earldom was created by Charles I. iv 1643, and the sixth earl died in 187 S. The extraordinary habits of this nobleman arc lolerably well known, and Dickens is commonly believed to havo drawn from them some of the moat extravagant scenes in " Great Expecta tions." Each of the parties to the proceedings asserted himself to be the seventh earl. That the former was tbe sou of the late Lord Huntingtower, who died before his father in 1572, and the lady with whom he publicly weut through the form of marriage in 1851, there could be no doubt whatever. The real aud only ques tion was whether Lord Huntingtower had already married in 1544 Elizabeth Acford, the mother of the second claimant. In order to prove this earlier marriage some very remarkable evidence was produced by Mi Shiress Will, who was assigned by the House as counsel to Miss Acford and her son.

The moatimportnnt witness was of course Miss Acford herself. That she had been Lord Huntingtower's mistress before his marriage to Miss Burke was common giound between the, parties. According to her the intimacy began by a breach of the criminal as well aa of the moral low. Be that as it may, they lived together, aud had several chil dren, among who it may be assumed for the purposes of the case was Albert Edwin. Miss Acford was the daughter of a timber merchant in Devonshiic, aud had been lady's maid or compa nion to Lady Dysart, Lord Huntingtower's mother. To Lady Dysart. she wrote a very curious letter, in which she remarked that if Lord Huutiugtower had married into hia own "spear," it would have beeu a great comfort to "himself aud friends," and alluded to what she called the "tattle oc currence" in which their connection had began. Much discussion took place during the hearing as to whether in the course of this letter she accused herself of wicked ness or merely bewailed her "writched " ness," but the point is not perhaps very material. Miss Ackford's story was that in 1844 Lord Huntingtower, in the pre sence of his servant, acknowledged her as his wife, and there can be no doubt that she had children by him both before and after bis marriage with Misa Burke in 1851. It is also true, and was perhaps the strongest point iv her favour, that on one occasion when she sued him to recover a sum of money, he pleaded that he was her husband, and so got the action dismissed, the judge believing his story. But, uniortunately Lord Hunting tower was a man on whose word no one could rely, and the fact that she claimed against him as a stranger tells, though not perhaps quite so strongly on the other side. But the strongest piece of evidence against Miss Acford'sstorWas aletter of her own, in which she offere-Fto marry someone else if he would give her a thousand pounds. Ac cording to her this letter was written in joke, au explanation which Lord Blackburn, in the course of his judgment, justly des cribed as " utterly incredible." It is impos sible to resist the inference th_,t the writer of that letter knew at the time when she wrote it, which was after 1844, that she was not the wife of the person to whom it was addiessed.

One piece of testimony, not perhaps in itself—considering what was the character of Lord Huntingtower—very important, the committee rejected on technical grounds. Mr Ralph Tollemache, a clergyman and a cousin of Lord Hunting tower, was called to prove tbat the latter had asserted Miss Acford, and not Miss Burke, to be his lawful wife. This statement of course amounted to a con fession, not only of adultery, but of bigamy. The Lords decided that a man could not be allowed, or that what he had Said could not be allowed, to discredit his own marriage " in the face of the Church." The form cf marriage relied on by Miss Acford was not, as the Lord Advocate pointed out on behalf of the Crown, one by *•• habit and repute," but one by "present declaration and interchange of consent," which, in the absence of_ a written acknowledgment by the parties, can only be proved by the evidence of other persons. The oral testimony of Lord Huntingtower and Miss Acford would not therefore have sufficed to prove their marriage. There can of course be no doubt that Lord Huntingtower did on various occasions treat and describe Miss Acford as his wife; but, then, he was oh bad terms with Lady Huntingtower, and it is to bo feared that he would not have shrunk from any meanness by which he might insult and annoy her. After the mar riage alleged by Miss Acford to havo taken place the parties only lived for three or four weeks in Scotland, and there was no evi dence that she was then received in respectable society as Lady Hunting tower. The case has been re peatedly adjourned in order that more evidence might be procured on behalf of Albert Edwin Acford ; but no sufficient testimony has been forthcoming, aud the Committee has had, therefore, no alterna tive but to pronounce against Acford's legitimacy, and in favour of Lord Hunting tower's son by his unquestioned marriage with the mother of the present marriage Dysart. The decisions of the Com mittee for Privileges are not technically binding upon the House, but, though a temporarily successful effort to challenge their authority was made in the case of the Earldom of Mar, the authority of unbroken usage prevailed ulti mately even in that extraordinary case. It Ib not likely that anyone not personally interested will be disposed to question the propriety of the decision just pronounced. Those on whom the burden of proof lay have failed altogether to discharge their obligation. The only direct evidence of Misa Acford's marriage was her own asser tion. The marriage of Lady Huntingtower was uncontested and incontestable. The extravagant indecency of Lord Hunting tower's behaviour has been solely account able for whatever difficulties have arisen. In this case spmpathy will follow justice. It would indeed be a terrible instance of the evil which men do living alter them if the conduct of such a husband and such a father as Lord Huntingtower, should be permitted to bastardise his son, and dis honour his widow.

THE FOURTH ESTATE IN MANY LANDS.

(To the Editor.) Sir,— Perhaps the following data anent newspapers published in various parts of the world will interest your readers. Some of the items are as surprising as interesting. ,1 am indebted to Mr H. P. Hubbard, of ,Ne\v Haven, Connecticut, the emiu.nt American Advertising Accnt, for much I valuable information, aud the statistics ; generally are thoroughly reliable. Tho point nearest the South Pole at which 'newspapers arc published, is Invercargill, j situated at 46", 25', South latitude. The j publications farthest South upon the Con tinent of Africa aro at Cape Town 34°, 56', 'South, and these farthest from the cqnater iin South Amei ica at San Carlos, Chili, at 41°, 152. In the island of Ceylon, India, 26 [newspapers ate published, including two dailies (one of which has a circulation of J1450 copies por day), eight weeklies, two i semi-weeklies, ten monthlies, two semi monthlies, and two quarterlies. In the |province of Punjab, India, are twenty seven newspapers, twenty-one of which aro weeklies, and the remainder monthlies. The interest attached to this tact is in creased when we remember that Punjab forms the extreme north-west corner of tho iludian Empire, nnd lies adjacent to Afghanistan, the sccuo of recent exciting rebellion and war. The Empire of Morocco cannot boast of a newspaper of :any description. It in literally revelling in jtbc " bliss of ignorance." One paper only lis published in Persia-tho "Iran of Ispahan," a Government organ. Ouly a single paper is published !in tho Republic of Siberia. The "Observer" | issued at .Monrovia with a circulation of 365, published semi-monthly. Iceland isupports three .newspapers. As far as is 'ascertained; no other newspapers are : published so near tho Arctic circle as those. iTutiis has one public sheet devoted almost entirely to governmental .announcements, 'and published', like the Thames "Enoch," 'when occasion requires ; or "sufficient in [ducenient offers,' In Algiers are pub lished twenty newspapers. At Thron dhjem (Drou theim), Norway, three daily journals. In South America, tlio Republic of Chili, " runs" sevouty tivo newspapers. But New Zealand bears the palm for having attained par excellence, tho moat.ilourishing civilization in a journalistic point of view. Her catalogued publications is—collectively— unprcccdoutedly large (over 140 in all) able, progressive and high-toned, of which colonists may be justly proud..

COLONIAL UNDERWRITING.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—The reports of the New Zealand In surance Companies carrying on a marine as well as a fire business seem all to agree upon ouc point, viz. :—That very small profits are being made out of the under writing portion of their business. Some of them indeed bliow a loss. Now, how is this to bo accounted for? 'Ihe great secret ol success iv underwriting appears to me to be (1) a proper distribution of the business dono over aa wide an area as possible. (2) In carofully discriminating between what is a good risk, and what is a bad ono. Is it from a disregard from one or other of theso principles that wo have to attribute tho non-success of colonial underwriting; or does it arise from causes ovor which the managers have no control 1

Tho New Zealand Companies are with out any opposition in the colony from cither English or Foreign Compauies. But it must not be supposed that because English offices aro not represented in this colony, tho local offices meet with no competition trom that quarter for New Zealand insurances. Such is tar from being the case, That English offices should secure a large, a very large, share of the inaurances on shipmen la from that country to New Zealand is not to be wondered at. It is but natural that it should he so. But how comes it that .so large a portion of the insurances on coa.tint: ri..ks are effected iv Eugland ? Nearly all the steamers owned iv the United Statea that are insured at all, are iusurcd iv England, simply because the law of collisions at sea is different iv England to what it is iv America, and English under writers take the risk of collision, which the Americans do not. But there ia no similar motive why insurances that ought to be etl'ected in New Zealand should he effected in England. Then how comes it that this colouial busiucs- ia diverted to England 7 Wc aro told by New Zoaland offices that underwriting ia not, as for as they are con cerned, remunerative. Yet most of the English Compauies are making not less than 10 per cent pet annum out of underwriting ; and some of them, the "Thames and Mersey,1' and the " British and Foreign," for instance, are declaring dividends at tho rate, of 25 per cent, and their business is entirely marine. The same is tho case at Lloyds', where underwriters who have been trained to the business, aud who may there fore be called professionals to distinguish them from the amateur underwriters in the sain, room, make large sums of money by underwriting. We hear at times of fai lures at Lloyd's, butin the majority of cases it will be fouudto be amougstthe amateurs, iiicii who are engaged in a business they ore not practically nccquuiuted with. If Euglish Underwriters can make Bu.h large profits how is it thatfour local offices can scarce escape making a loss ? The capital of the majority of marine offices at home is not larger than that of auy one of our offices here. So that the security is as good. The colonials company have this in their favour; they aro represented at home, whereas the English offices are not represented ia New Zealand. Yet the English offices filch away the business that ought really to be secured in the colony. The colonial offices don't do much business in Euglaud outside the insuranceß on goods, &c, to thia coun try. Hitherto they have done largely in timber risks, and all who are acquainted with Lloyda muatknow how disastrous this same business has been to underwriters— and they only got that buaineas simply because English offices would not write it except at very mucq higher rates, and most of them would not write it at any price. Some six months ago l know that the agents in London received instructions from their company in New Zealand to confine themselves entirely to New Zealand busi ness. I scarcely think that they were wise in ao limiting their agents, because as I have said before ono of the first principles in insurance is to distributo the risks. It would have been wiser, I think, to have prohibited their agents from taking inferior vessels and timber and the like bad business. A great many colonial companies, and foreign onea as well, become the satellites of this or that great English company. By this means they get a large amount of re-insurances at premiums sufficiently low to leave a large margin of profit to the re insured.

You will perhaps say that people at home are prejudiced in favour of their own companies, and, to a certain extent, you would be right in so Baying j but I know of several foreign companies doing busi ness in London, notably tho United Swiss Company, La Melusine and La Prevoyancc, that continue to make very handsome profits out ot their English business. Surely if a Swiss or a French company can secure remunerative business in London thcte is no reason why a colonial com pany should not do ao likewise. Wo are lnlormod, however, that they do make a profit in London. There is this differ ence in favour of the foreign companies I have named, aa against New Zealand ones, viz., the foreign companies have funds invested iv England in the name of truatees for the security of policy-holders, and their business is under the management of prac tical underwriters.

Now, if the colonial offices are to secure a fair and remunerative share of tho Eng lish business, and to take that position in the underwriting world which is theirs by right, they must do *s the foreign com panies named have found it uecessary to do —invest funds iv England for the security of the policy-holders, and place properly qualified men in the underwriting depart ments.

Be it always borne in mind that just as there is no business more profitable than underwriting when properly conducted, so there is no business more sure to lead into disaster than underwriting when conducted by men who have not been educated to tho business. High premiums do not always, in fact they very seldom do, mean large profits. Yet it isforsuch that many men who understand not the principle of underwrit ing are iv the habit of angling for. Ouly the other day I observed an insurance had been taken by a colonial office on a risk, the merits of which were such tbat no underwriter at Lloyd's, unless he belonged to what is termed the sporting ring, could have been induced to write it. The vessel was lost soon alter leaving port. The underwriting agents of none of our colonial offices arc iv such a healthy con dition as to justify an underwriter in accepting risks of such a character. It is a class of business which, at Lloyd's, comes under the head of "sporting risks," aud is taken by a certain clique at [ Lloyd's, which makes it its busi

mess to do this particular class of underwriting only. Some of these mou

make money, but the majority of them I generally succeed in losing what little money they ever possessed. Let Colonial companies confine their attention to legiti mate underwriting, carefully weighing by ,'past experience the meritß or demerits of every risk submitted to them, and they need have no fear but tbat the result will be in their favour.—Yours, &c., Veritas. j May 23rd, 1881.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

. Mr Charles G. Hill sends his opinion on Zthe Chinese question. After expressing astonishment at Mr Kdger's letter on the Zubject, he says:—"Our legislation must 'always teud to this great principle—tho . 'greatest good to the greatest number. (Therefore if tho introduction of a few thou sand Chinese will endanger the happiness land prosperity of this country, we jliavc a right to keep them out. Now fwhat is the evidence that we get irom the places where they arc ilocated ? I have lately been to England, !and touched at four places where Chinese are iv full swing, namely, Honolulu, San jFranciaco, Melbourne, and Sydney. What is the unanimous opinion of the European population ? It is that tbe Chinese may be compared to the drink traffic—a far greater evil than they are a blessing. This conclusiou has not been come to oft-hand, for these places have had considerable experience touching this matter. What I saw myself, outside of the mode of living of these people, indicated to me that behind the scenes it was deplorable. I can endorse what you, Mr Editor, aay in regard to their herding together like pigs, and living on the smell of an oil rag. While the London Board of Works aro pulling down unwholesome rookeries, and are endeavour ing to improye the dwellings of tho pooi^ are w6 to encourage people, who, by their example, and also by their competition, will not only eucouragß.but compel others to disregard all sanitary and moral laws? Mr Edger would perhaps say they have as much right to come to thia country as wo had. There is some truth in this if they stood on a par with us; but Mr Edger will agree with me that if wc bad left the iniquitous drink traffic behind us wo Bhould have ocon a bless ing to the natives of this country, and are so now barring this blot, which I ono day hope to soe wiped out."

MR COBLEIGH'S BREAKFAST.

Mr CoßLßiaii has just got down to breakfast. He was standiug up to the stove with his hands clasped behind him, as ishiscustora,coutemplatingthe attractively set table.

A large platter of broiled ham, with fried eggs, was the central feature, and Mr Cobleigh Is very fond of ham and eggs. The family cat was lying softly on the table, purring softly to herself.

It was a strongly-marked domestic scene, and Mr Cobleigh felt his eyes moisten as he surveyed it, Mrs Cobleigh was taking up the potatoes. She had tbe last one pierced with the fork, and was about to deposit it with the rest, when she spied the upturned palm of her husband's hand.

What possessed her she cannot tell, but she dropped the steaming vegetables straight into his unconscious hand.

He didn't ask her what she was doing ; he didn't oven look round; he simply emitted an awful scream, and sprung madly into the air.

On the descent he struck tho table with his knees with such force as to completely overturn it and, with the contents, he came to the floor with an awful crash. Five dollars worth of crockery was smashed, and a carpet, ooat, and pair of pants were ruined by ham gravy and butter. It is probable Mr Cobleigh would have fainted right away from tho effect of the shock, had not the cat, across whoso back he fell, as she waß darting away from the awful calamity, turned round and fas tened both claws and teeth into his thigh with deadly ferocity.

That revived him,

The house ia now shnt up. Mrs Cob leigh is visiting her mother at Brookficld, and Mr Cobleigh has taken ajjaunt to Bos ton on busiu.ss. We understand she thinks Mr Cobleigh is to blame in the matter, for she properly reasons, had he not jumped so like an all-tired fool there would have beeu no damage done.
