WELLINGTON, this day. THE Government decline to appoint Messrs ii.viu and Hutchinson, M.H.H.'s, a comm ission to invc-tsgate charges made against the conduct of the Lunatic Asylum, on the ground that it is undesirable of importing a political clement into such an iuquiry ; but they will appoint Mr Shaw, K.M., Mr Woodward and Mr Waring Taylor, J.P.s, ns Commission of Inquiry, with full powers. These have consented to act.

THE MYSTERY OF LORD BRACKENBURY: A NOVEL. BY AMELIA B. EDWARDS.

" Impossible, if you please ; but true. It is I who say it." To lodge in the Osteria del Cappello was to live in a house of glass; The gossips had La.Giulietta's engagement at their tongues' ends tho very day after Stefano Beni had given his consent. They talked of nothing else that morning round tho well. " 1 tell you, he was there all last evening," said Honna Teresa. "A tall man with a reddish beard ; a sailor by his clothes." "Ay ;he had been round to the Arena in the aftcihoon to see neighbour Stefano, and thcV returned together. My Giacomo hap pened to be coming home at the time, and he followed thum all the way from the Piazza 15: it." . "Old Stefano was minded to treat him well, anyhow," put in another. 'He

MR. LARNACH ON COLONIAL PROSPECTS.

[BY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

DUNEDIN, Friday. MR Larnach who has lately returned from England, delivered an address before the Ditncdiu Chamber of Commerce yester day, iii the course of which he dwelt upon tlie improved prospects of the Colony—as shewn in the plentifulness of money which could now be borrowed at 7 per cent, whereas twelve months ago it was difficult to get it at 10 per cent. A plentiful harvest was being reaped, and the clip of wool had been very large. A very much greater amount of attention was also being directed to agriculture. He condemned tho propcrtv tax and said the colony was staggering under it. He hoped that when Parliament meets measures will be devised by which the colony be relieved of the ndxious bttrdcu under which it staggers, but cannot walk. Sufficient taxation for all the wants of the colony could be found through tho Customs t-.iiff, which is most willingly paid, and most easily collected. He advocated the re-iui position of the tea and sugar duties, and the imposition of school fees as substituted for the Property Tax. Mr Larnach also spoke of the unqualilied success ofthe Australian meat experiments, and said he did not sec why New Zealand should bo withoni a sugar-refinery. In the course of the discussion that ensued, Mr Bathgato very severely com mented on the action by which he said wo had nearly produced a crisis, by withdraw ing three millions of capital at a critical juncture.

MOODY AND SANKEY IN SAN FRANCISCO.

Moody and Sankey continue to attract c owded congregations in San Francisco. One of the features of the meetings is the number of requests for prayer. Some thirty or forty were sent in in writing, and twice ns many more were presented verbally at a single noonday meeting. They were from wives for husbands, from parents fur chil dren, from sisters for brothers, from friends for friends. Many of them revealed in a few words a great burdeu of anxiety. Very earnest prayers were offered in com pliance with these requests. The "Call" gives the following brief report oi One of Mr Moody's addresses :— Mr Moody's subject last night, both on Howard and Mission streets, was " The Conversion of the Thief on the Cross." He said his sermon last week on "Instan taneous Conversion " bad been objected to. He liked that. He preferred criticism and opposition to indifference. The most hope leas people were those who assented to everything and did nothing. This thief was a hard case that Thursday morning. He reviled Christ. But on the cross n change came over him. He lirst said to his brother thief, " Dost not thou fear God?'' The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Then he contessed his sins; admitted that he was justly condemned. Sin unconfessed is like a bullet in the body. The first thing is to get it out. Unconfessed sin hardens the heart. It is what keeps multitudes from receiving tlie blessing of the Lord. But the thief not only con fessed his Bins ; he also confessed Christ. Yes, when his own disciples bad denied or forsaken Him, and the Jewish Sanhedrim had condemned Him. Whilo He was dying ns a criminal, this thief called him "Lord," and talked about His kingdom. And see how he prayed ; only threo words : " Lord, remember me." But these words were a chain of golden links that drew his soul to Heaven. Christ gave more than the thief asked. He not only remembered him, but took him right up to Paradise. This was instantaneous conversion, without works, without ordinances. I believe in Churches ; every Christian ought to join one. 1 believe in Baptism and the Lord's Supper. But none of these thiugs arc essential to salvation—that comes in answer to the prayer of faith. You can all pray as the thief did, "Lord, remembcrme." And if you offer that simple prayer from the heart, (Jod will answer it now. Confess Christ, trust in Christ and He will bless you. Another address is thus reported :—The raiu last night did not diminish Mr Moody's congregations. The th nohes wcrecrowded at both the seven and the eight o'clock ser vices. Mr Moody read iv tho thirtieth chapter of Deuteronomy, commencing at the fifteenth verse -a part of Moses' fare well address to the Hebrews. His object in that farewell address was to warn the people, and he warned them because he loved them. He was not their cuemy be cause he told them of the consequence of disobeying God. He had proved, by forty years of devotion to them, that he was their best friend. A mother is always warning ber children because she loves them. Nathan was sent by God to warn David when he had sinned. But was Nathan therefore David's enemy ? Elijah warned Abab, and Ahab called him his enemy on account of that warning. But if Ahab had heeded it, and repented, he might have saved his life. Herod was warned by John the Baptist, and that warning cost the faithful preacher his head. But did John hate Herod ? No ;he wanted to save him. Now, my hearers, when any one warns you, don't conclude that ho is your enemy. He may be your best friend. Flatterers are the lirst to ilee when trouble comes ; but he who is faithful in prosperity, telling the truth fearlessly, will bo faithful in adversity also. If 1 saw a man's house on lire, aud did not warn him; if I saw a raau drinking poison, and did not warn him, would you not despise me 1 And shall I see men going to eternal sin and not raise my voice ? Some people have strange ideas of God's government. They think his laws are only advisory— that no penalty is attached to them. But the Bible says that there is a penalty, and that it is death. Shall I, who believe this, not warn those who arc in danger ? I found amm freezing in Chicago late one winter night. I warned him, but he told me to mind my own business. Do you think that I left him to die ? No ; I roused him until he tried to whip me. We bad a tight in tlie streot. But my persistent interference saved his life. A man in Texas shot a faithful dog who tried to stop bim as he was liding away, having left a bag of gold under a tree. The dog crawled back and died beside tiie gold, and his owner could never forget the dumb brute's fidelity and his own folly. So the minister of Christ comes to prevent you from losing your soul. It is the barking of a faithful friend that dis turbs you. ' ;esar put in his robe the note of warning which, if he had read it. would have saved his life. Au Athenian General, when warned of a conspiracy in the midst of a banquet, said : " Pleasure to-night and serious things to-morrow." But that night he was slain. Many of my heareis are like him ; they want to put off all serious things. But in this there is danger. A signal man, near Boston, goiug to warn an incoming train of a broken bridge, tell aud smashed his lantern. Bill he ran and threw the fragments of tho lantern at the engineer, who arrested the train. So, if I have but a broken lantern tonight, I throw it before you to arrest you in your sins.

DUNEDIN, this day. A HARSH SENTENCE FOR APPLE-

STEALING,

Mr Watts' sentences yesterday—ordering a number of boyscharged withapple-Btcaliug j to be whipped, six hours' imprisonment, then be kept in the Industrial School for terms ranging from six to throe years— caused indignation. There V.as a painful j sceue in Court with the parenis, some ol ! whom had to be removed. The papers are |

taking the matter up,

Mr Watt, 11.M., made an explanation from the Beach to day re the flogging and sentencing of hoys for apple-stcaliug, which had been severely commented on by the pies?, lie said the real punishment was llot'ging, Hud that it was necessary to award itiipiisonment in order to have boys Hogged in gaol. Meie committal to the Industrial School was no punishment at all, as upon good behaviour the boys were immediately let out to their parents; By the means adopted, larrikiuism in Dunedin could be more easily prevented than if allowed to get ahead. The sentence was only apparently severe, but practically it was the one preventative of the nuisance.

IMPERSONATING A DETECTIVE.

John Quiun, alias Nolan, has been arrested for impersonating a detective and thereby obtaining fiom the landlord of tho Masonic Hotel, St. Andrew's, board dud lodging and money. The accused, who is charged also with forging a cheque, has been lcmauded till Monday.

SWEEPST AKES SAILING RACE.

The open sailiug-Doat race fur a sweep stake of £1 each, which was postponed from last Saturday owing to the sinking of the Observer, took place this afternoon. The number of competitors was lessened by the absence of the Imp, which was taken to Russell Ou Monday in order to compete at tlie Regatta there. It is usual in sailiug races 10 disqualify any boat meeting with an accident by which tlio other contestants are compelled to put back for the purpose of rendering assistance. Ail arrangement was, however, mado in the present case to to allow the Observer to take part in the race by the forfeiture of the previous stake aud the payment of another. The com petitors were the Madgie (Biglow), Eunice (Beck), Witch (Yates), Hattie May (Hal stead), mid Observer (Graham).

It was understood that the race would commence at 1.30 p.m., but the boats were not iv position until considerably after that time. There was a very moderate breeze from the north-east. Tho Observer was seen to have a new suit of sails, and from the fact that she carried as crew Messrs Moore, Ike aud Tom Hum, and G. McKay, it was concluded that her owner had deter mined to leave nothing undone that might conduce to her success. The Marshalls had charge of the Madge, Alf Warbrick, the well-known commander of the Imp, forming one of the crew. Sam Dure 3aihd tlio Hattie May, Boyd, tlie Eunice, and his brother tlie Witch. The last-named boat had the inside or leeward position, the Hattie May being next, Madge third, Eunice fourth, while the Observer, being outside, had the advantage of wmd ward place. Cptuin J. McKenzie acted as stai tor, and before letting the boats go ho made a trip round in order to ascertain whether the ballast was properly boarded over. The start was a good one, the boats getting their cauvas ou very quickly, aud passing tlie Railway Wharf in the follow ing order:—Madge, 1; Obicrvcr, 2; Hattie May, 3; Witch, 4; Eunice, 5. Ihe Witch kept pretty clo^e iv shore, while the others iollowed close in the wake ot the Madge. There was at this time a nice fresh breeze, and the drifting mutch, which an hour previously had threatened, gave place to a very interesting rites. The Madge gained steadily all the way down, but the Observer and the Hattie May kept her very close. The Witch kept too close in shore, and the strong Hood tide carried somo distance to leeward of the mark boat. The Daphno was rounded as follows :— Madge 1 Observer, 10 sees, later 2 Hattie May, 25 sees, later 3 Eunice, 74 sec?, later 4 Witch, 77 sees, later 5 3 p.m. The boat then commenced tho heat for the Sandspit buoy. Tho Observer made a short board and then stood well over for the North bhore, all the others keeping close aloug the south shore. The wisdom of the Observer's course was soon apparent. She kept a good lead all the way to the Sandspit, aud rounded it about live minutes ahead ot tho Medge, the other competitors then being a trsmendous distance astern 3.20 p.m. The positions now are :— Observer I Madgie • 2 Witch 3 Hattie May 4 Eunice 5 The Observer aud Madgie are a long way ahead of the others.

LATIN AND LADIES,

(To the Editor.)

Sij. _No doubt it must be immensely gra tifyiug to all concerned to leviuv. the pro gross made by the ladies at the Girls' High School, who were prize and certificate winners on the red letter day, consequent on the December examination. I obsurve Bishop Cowic recognizes the fact that even prize-giving " has its dangers " ; and there are other dangers. One is learuiug Latin instead of English, and sooner or later the parents of the children must have more voice iv the selection of studies to be pur.ued and paid for. Pure English sweetly accented and pronounced by our Auckland young ladies will be a passport for them through the civilized world, whilst Latin quotations will only spoil the charm, and frighten us. Ono hour per day is devoted to this study, which means five, hours a week in school, and considerable' time in the evening ; besides the latin of to-day is not the latin ot ten years ago—will not be the latin of tin: future—the chaugo of pronunciation of,t' _ a's and the c's. Tho Cambridge and the Oxford rules, etc., are not for our wives and daughters to be bothering about. I may be quite necessary to make these changes in rules, as it was considered expedient to change our English Grammar, and call the article of 20 years ago a demonstrative pronoun or a represen tative adjactive dr a numerical preposition, or any other new fangled named. It would never pay to havo the old books useful and the parents teaching their children at home, aud by the same rule the patsiug of 10-day will not be recognised years hence. Cob , den, who was a great elocutionist, com plained in the House of Commons-"That the member for the Opposition knocked him downwithaLatinquotation," and demanded 1 that in the English House of Representa tives English should be spoken, or if another language was used it should be explained Mr"H.°H, Lusk's recommendation to the young ladies at the Girls' High School to continue their studies in Latin can out produce a few blue stockings, and sooner or later this ridiculoussystcm of over-cramming scholars because it makes the teachers look brilliant before the eves of some plebeians must be denounced. Very few women understand Latin, or like dead languages, and their quotations are well calculated to keep away sensible men who might be induced to make honourable advances with a view to matrimony. Good blue stocking is a horror for your over clever women, who are generally above takfug care of their husband, his interest, or the house, and are carefully avoided by their own sect as well as cautious; thinking men. A latin quotation won't do instead of that button, or in the place of toe happy smile, and well-kept house, quiet children, aud nicely cooked. Young men of Auckland, -if the young ladies of ycur choice quote latin to you by way of repression, turn to the next best girl spcikiug gohd understandable English- You recollect a hen that crows, a woman with a beard, or one that speaks latin should be cautiously avoided,—l am, &c ,

ARCHERY.

The wcokly meeting ot tbe Saturday after noon Recreation Club, although held to-day under unprogressing auspices so far as the weather is concerned, was quite as highly attended as usual, both sexes being well represented. The shooting of tho second Tsquad in the second match was entered upon with spirit, but the wind is rather unfavourable for good scoring. However, the party oi archers, who are handling the bows and arrows to-day number some of tho bost shots of tho Club, so that a great deal of in terest attaches to the contest. Mr Edward Cooper is expected to take a high position, while the ladies are very well nia'ched. Thero is also a croquet match on the tapis, so that the amusement expected from and the interest taken iv the meeting is pretty equally divided.

AFFAIRS AT ALL SAINTS.

(To to Editor.)

Sib,—The All Saints' Church-goers are at present in a rather excited stato. At tho last annual meeting thero was somo dis cussion regarding churth salaries, and it was pointed out by two or more of the newly nppuinted vestry, that all salaries thould be fixed by that annual meeliug. According ly said vestry-meu proposed aud seconded a resolution that nil .alarics remain tho same as previous year, which resolution was carried unanimously. Now mark the sequel. At a subsequent meeting of the vestry—as far as can be ascertained—tho minister was requested to submit to a reduc tion of stipend. The minister obiectcd, aud desired to reter the matter to a general nicetir.g of parishioners. It waa agreed to do so, aud a meeting was held on the Bth, as reported by you. What transpired at that meeting is already known. The finan cial condition of the church was shown nothing was said at that mcctiug tending to reverse the resolution previously passed ro salaries, but a uuarniuous lesolution was passed to raise necessary funds, aud £40 was actually subscribed ia the room, and a committee originated to obtain a further amount. The next thing wo hear is that at a vestry meeting held on the same night (Bth inst.) it was resolved to make the minister pay £50 a-year rent for the parsonage. And now tho present aspect of affairs is this : members who have promised subscriptions withold the same feeling that the vestry have broken faith with tho con gregation.—l am See., Pabishionee. Ponsonby, February, 1881. P.S. -Try and shed a little moro light on the proceedings of the vestry.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

(Concluded.)

We append au abstract of the business which was transacted too lato for record in our last impression : —

ARATAPU. —A letter was received enquir ing whether tho word "householders" in the Act could b« taken to mean two persons resident in the same houne, or whether they would have to bo separately domiciled before they could both exercise the votiug power at a School Committee election. At the meeting of the Aratapu householders the question had been ruled in the former way, viz , that two or more persons residing in the same house were " householders " in the legal sense.—After considering the matter the Board decided that It could not sec sufficient reason to declare the election iuvalid.

Kamo.—Tho Committee wrote stating that no refund has been made of £10 ad vanced to Mr Graham.—The Secretary was instructed to reply that the Board did not Jrccognise Mr Graham as a teacher when the advance was made. Helensville.—Application for grant to plough school ground. It was agreed to allow the Committee to use tho balnace of school fuuds for the purpose.

Katikati.—Application tor allowance of salary to Secretary.—lt was rosolvod, "That the Board does not consider the duties of Secretary such as to warrant the expenditure called for." Mangere.—Messrs Luke and May were appointed to represent the Board at the opening of the new school next week. Messrs Newman and Waymoutii's Nomination.— Mr Moss gave notico of motion for the revocation of the Board's decision on the llth clause of tho Act with reference to {this sublect. He thought that the less the Board interfered wi}h committees the better. If they did not act according to law, tho responsibility would rest with them. If the Board went about seeking legal difficulties they would be sure to find them in abundance—The Board would avoid a great many difficulties if they allowed the committees to act upon their own responsibility. In most matters of mere practice they would act rightly. Matakana,—Mr Tyndall wrote relative to the letting of tho building. It was Btated that the minutes of the Committee had been irregularly kept.—lt was decided to refer tbe letter to the Committee, the writer to be informed of its transmission.

Maungaturoto. -Application lor re pair of fireplace.—Declined. MAUKU.—A memorial of house-holders was received protesting against tho late election of Committee on various grounds.— Referred to the Committee.

Maungatapere.—lt was resolved that the Secretary should ask whether the site approved by Mr Peacock was approved by the Committee.

Mount Albert.—The Committee wrote asking the Board to decide the validity or otherwise of the election of Mr A, K. Taylor. Mr Garlick was elected, but when tho numbers were read out he exclaimed " I decline to act." Mr Taylor, the next highest, was declared to be elected. The question was whether Mr Garlick's with drawal amounted to a resignation.—lt was agreed on the Chairman's motion, "That in the opinion of the Board Mr Garlick's withdrawal was a resignation, and that it devolves on the Committee to fill up the vacancy." Newton.—The accounts against school tund were forwarded. It was resolved that the slight excess met by the Board would not be held as a debit against the school.

Oruru.—The tender of Mathcson, of Onehunga, for teacher's dwelling, at £295, was accepted, Pakia.—A memorial was received for a new school in lieu of a native school- Referred to the memorialists for further in formation. Pakakangi.—Application for a teachers dwelling.—lt was stated that a new dwel ling fo. teacher had been authorised Paterangi.—Application for a grant as rent of school.—Granted.

POLLOCiC-Application of grant for pay ment made to teacher, on account ol clean' ing, &c—Granted.
