MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A LiDY. Sydney, March S. A CONSIDERABLE amount of mystery is attached to the death ot Miss Bray, at Rcdmyre, whoso scattered remains were found ou the lino, smashed by four succes sive trains. There is a wide-spread feeling of foul play. The theory is, that while walking iv the lield the ludy was set on by some l'ullian, outraged aud munleicd, and the body placed oa the line, in order that the traces of the crime might he obliterated and the death assumed to bo hy accident or suicide. At the cricket match on Monday the Combined Australian eleven is fairly described as the best ever seen in Sydney Spofforth wns unable to secure a wicket, although he bowled 172 balls, and 92 runs were scored.

A party of live men, amongst them being Groves, gunner to the Govern ment inan-o'-war, went out in a gig belong ing to the Cerberus to lay a torpedo, when for some unaccountable reason the machine exploded, blowing tho boat up and killing Groves, Barnes, Timberley, Wilkie, ana Hunter. The accident happened close to the Cerberus, and three-quarters of a mile from the shore. The man Jasper -was blown into the sea, and is likely to recover. Three ineu were blown to pieces. The other two bodies were recovered. A "BROAD CHURCH" PRESBY TERIAN. The Rev. Mr. Strong, who is being indicted in the Presbytery for heresy, preached on Sunday on the true Broad Church movement. He said the Church often contented itself with the external, the formal, the legal. Wo know tho dulling, deadening tendency of ccclesiasti cism, the official, professional atmosphere that is generated round ministers and churches and their beliefs and practices. The Broad movement is the movement of the spiritual to be delivered from this. It is soul and heart waking up amid legalism, bigotry, and hard liberalism of the Church; to feel more deeply what religion is. At a dinner "given by Consul-General of the Netherlands to the President and Exhibition Commissioners, the Chief Sec retary said the Government contemplated a modification of the drawback system which would make Melbourne more or less a free port.

ARRIVAL OF BOKHARA AT ALBANY. ALBANY, Friday. LONDON, Jan. 28.—The address of the House of Commons in reply to the Queen's Speech was voted on the 20th, after a fort night's debate, lasting through 11 sittings. The Irish party moved four amendments, and pressed each to a division. Mr Par- Hell's amendment against the Coercion Bill was rejected on the 15th by 435 votes against 57. Mr Justin M'Carthy next pro posed an amendment prohibiting the em ployment of naval, military, or constabulary lorces by the Crown to enforce eviction pro cesses in any case. Mr Gladstone described tee proposal aa a most extraordinary and inadmissible one, evidently designed merely to prolong the debate. The House refused to allow Mr M'Carthy to withdraw the amendment which was put and rejected by a large majority. M. Forstor's speech on tbe oo.asiou of introdu cing the Coercion Bill was very lucid and impressive, especially his statement of the deplorable condition of affairs produced by the terrorism exercised by the Land League in Ireland. While evidently discharging a most painful duty, tho Chief Secretary spoke with vigour and purpose, and with an intensity of conviction which produced a great effect upon the House. He even tem porarily subdued the Home Rulers. The bill does not authorize a general or absolute suspension of tho Habeas Corpus Act; but the Lord Lieutenants will be empowered to arrest, by warrant, any persons reasonably suspected of treason-felony or treasonable practices, and the commission of crimes punishable by law in a proc'aimed district. Its " powers are to extend to the 30th September next year. Arrested persons may be detained in custody till then. Mr Forstor showed that outrages ncreased Inst year by about 35 per cent. The area of crime was appallingly enlarged. The old Ribbonism of 1871 was not yet extinct. Tho agents of the Laud League in [many cases were Fenians, who were using the agitation by purposes which might become dangerous. The Ministerial statement produced a strong feeling of in dignation throughout the country, and a conviction that it was necessary to pass re pressive measures without delay. No serious attempt was made by the Pnrnellites to disprove Mr Forstcr's assertion, which was only loosely denied, without distinct tostimony to support the contradiction. The Home Rulers, however, declared their intention to use all the forms of the House to their uttermost in order to prevent the first reading of the bill. Loch Lomond, in Scotland, and Lough Neagh, in Ireland, were both frozen over and crossed by carts and other heavy traffic. Intense cold prevailed on the 14th and loth, followed by snowstorms, accompanied by terrific gales during the 18th and 19tb. London was virtually snowed up. Com munication with the outside world was almost entirely interrupted. The railway, postal, and telegraphic communication in many parts was interrupted. The 'I'h«im.f s overflowed between Southwark and Black- Iriars, and was fiozen over above Twicken ham. The river was filled with floating

masses of ice. lateuso suffering prevails among tho poorer c'a«ses throughout the country.

BOMBAY, February 11th. AyubKhan is still at Herat, not Farrah, as reported.

FROM SATURDAY'S " COROMANDEL MAIL.")

COROMANDEL,

Graham's prospecting party havo conic on loose stone of a rich character as far as crushing test proves its value. The ground has been taken up and a prospecting drive started at once to cut the leader which has shed the quartz picked up on the surface. TOKATEA. —Tho Manager reports : " We have cut the drainage Hue in tho No. 7 level. Water is now coming in freely, both from the roof and sides ol the drive, and increasing with each breaking down. The face is within about 12 or 14 feet from the Hues of the Bismark wiuze, or at point E on the 20 feet Tracing (see also 50 feet plan). Tha leader has opened out to about 0 inches iv thickness with promising looking scams or lines 011 cither sides, which 110 doubt will make into one body ot stone in a few feet more driving, also what appears to bo the wig is formiug on the hanging side of the leader. The cutting of the big reef at nearly right augle. with the Tokatea leader explains the reason of the long streak of hard broken country the levels hns passed through and the absence of anything like the usual lode channel, the larger body of stone having cut everything off. 1 have nothing to report from TkodeV Tribute. The stuff sent to the battery will have to ptaud over uutil rainy weather sets in as there is not BUf.ic.cnt water to put it through.— lain, fee, JOHN Hall, Mana-

ger. MACFAKLANE had one ton of general stuff crushed at the Corby, which yielded 50ozs lOJwts of retorted gold. He took up a; fresh piece of ground on the Tokatea Range aud opened on a six-inch leader. He considers the result is very satisfactory, being able to turu out any amount of similar stone.

; The MAOBls|aro driving 011 thslr reef in the bottom level. The lodo continues to look well, and gold is seen occasionally iv the stone. Oue full share in this mine ba^ been sold to Mr Lynch for £10. Ou Thursday morning the Maoris struck gold right on tbe cap of the reef, and have taken out somo good specimen stone. The Maoris broko out richer stone yesterday from their reef, than has yet beeu obtained. Mr Duuster who has brought into their claim, brought tbo stone into the township yesterday. Vizard's.—A tramway has been laid down the whole length of the tunnel, which will greatly facilitate the working of tlio mine. Experienced miners who have visited tue claim are of opiuion that the reef from which the rich crushing was taken will be one of the best on the field.

Walkik's LEASE.—On this property adjoining Tiernan's, Yon der Speck, the well-known Coromandel prospector, is busily engaged surfacing with the view of discovering tho caps ot some of the rich reefs bearing through the miue from Tiernan's.

TiEKNAN's -Very little work hasbecn done in this mine this last few days -the share holders having been engaged adjusting the surveyors. On Thursday, all hands went to work again, and when we visited the mine, picked stone was being bagged. Blackmore's.—The low level is now in a distance of over 90 foet, but the reef (Sheehau's) they expect to cut is not yet to hand. The upper tunnel on the western side of the claim has not touched the flat leader, but they expect to have it in hand in a few feet more driving. Gilmour's party have opened out on Barrett's reef, and commenced driving eastward.

THAMES.

Old Caledonian.—The Mine Manager f rwards the following :—The cross cut, No. 1 level, has been driven 11 feet this week, making in all 66 feet still going through the same class of country. The test three feet has been interlaced with small mineral veins which are good indications. No. 3 level.—The winze in specimen leader is down 16 feet, from the floor of drive, still iv tight ground but a good class of country for gold. The drive in No. 6 reef, same level, has made slow progress this week, the reef being very hard and still increasing in width with no favourable chango. I have this day started to drive on its hang ing wall.—Aboylien and party crushed 16 tons for lOozs. 9dwt. 12grs. Value, 55s per ounce ; amount, £28s 16s ld ; per centa?e, £5 Is ; hauling, £1 12s.— George and party crushed 3 tons for 4ozs. 19dwts.

Moanatairi. — The mine manager repoits:— Point Kussell, creek level. The cro?s-cut North has been extended 3 feet this fortnight, making the total leng.h driven Sslect. Two small stringers have been intersected within the last fow feet, but nothing of importance. 12 feet more driving will complete the present contract, and \se shall there start a cross-cut south with four men. Nonpareil: In another week the Adit level will be abreast of the shaft, and a short cross-cut will then be put in to connect with it. The old level has all fallen in, causing much trouble to get through. The surface drive in Kuranui has been extended 84 feet this foituight, and is now up to silid grouud m the face. A winze has been started here to couuect with the hot stopes below for purposes of ventilation.-80ft. level : The south cro'S-CUt in Morniug Star section has been exiended 27ft., and we are now driving in the leader previously intersected. Small patches of gold are obtained here, We «hall shortly drive upon it east ward and also commence stopmg.

The ecueral crushing is still poor but showing for a slight improvement on las return, and an the whole our mine is looking encouraging.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE IMMORALITIES IN THE ROME FOR NEGLECTED CHILDREN.

(To the Editor.)

Fir,—The paragraph in last issue of the Star re the disclosures at the Home, Howe street, 110 doubt will cull forth eouio severe criticism, and expose tho late master and matron to some censure iv the opinion of many, hut a very littio consideration of a number of facts, and inquiry into the wholo matter will show that the blame attaching to us is a very email proportion. I only intend cursorily to s-tatc a few of the causes and effects, aim tho efforts which have been made to chock, aud prevent as tar as pos sible this Btato of things. lam very glad that it has come out. 1 do not envy my successor the credit he may gain in 3onie qnaitcrs for having brought it before the public. 1 endeavoured to get tin's matter gone into duiiug the recent public investi gation. My reports to the committeo on many occasions have pointed out the con stant fear that 1 had of a state of things such as has beeu found to have actually existed, aud the repeated protests I have made verbally to members of the Committee against the re-admission of girls and boys who have becu sent from their situations with bad characters, somo absolutely im moral. The admission in years past of a class of young girls whoso minds and thoughts were dopiavcd, and the associating them with youug and innocent children was a very injudicious step. The admis sion of a class of boys who ought never to have had the slightest chance of corrupting the miuds of children; boys whoso acts of indecency, gesture, and ribald talk was a great source of annoyance to modest and decent girls, and the horror of little children, under such a system of concentrating tho poisoned and polluted elements of social life. Is it to be wondered at that there is such a development ot tho social evil? Sad as it may bo to kuow that such a state of things have existed, it is but tho sequence of the system which has boen adopted of trying to do too much, to make the Home a Reformatory for both sexos, a boarding establishment, to tho complete subversion of tho primary objects lor which tho Home was originally estab lished. These disclosures are but the lvilex of what, to a large extent, exists in our very midst amongst the young popula tion of the lower classes. Ido not wonder that there were children who confessed their vicious conduct without any fccliuga of shame. I could, it it wero allowable, unfold some tales of depravity and vice, ot which they have beeu witnesses before they came to the Homo. The previous history of some of thotn would umuzo many people, hut they would cease to wonder how mere children could havo become so easily initiated into vice, and so readily and shamelessly boast of their sin. It will per haps be asked if there wero no cllbrts mado to prevent this state of things'. Allth.it I could do was done. Every case where any pioof could bo had that there had been immoral conduct it was reported, and the parties expelled from tho Home, but no case of yonng children ever came under my notice, 1 canuot hero explain how it is that such a state tf things could exist with out my knowledge, and be so easily dis covered by my successor; (but tho cause is easy of explanation) and will, before long, be brought out. I have ouly to toy that had the committee taken the action they have had forced upon them, viz., of draw ing the attention of the Government to the whole question of Home, and its manage ment, three years ago, vory much of the trouble, which lias sinco arisen, would have been prevented ; at any rate, tho Government would have been forced to go into the matter and do what was really needed—establish a Beformatory. — lam, &c, J. Stickley.

LICENSE FOR THE NORTH ROAD.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—ln your report of the Licensing Com* held at Onehunga, Mr laishley, in his application for a new license for Mr James Page, corner of Kingslaud antl New North Roads, stated that the house was originally put 1111 for aa hotel, and that most of the inhabitant, were favourable to Mr Pago obtaining a license, Ido mo.t sincerely hope for Mr Page's sake that your reporter has made some mistake here. This house, according to Mr Page when iv course of erection, was put up for tho express purpose of n library and reading-room, under tlio namo of the Sunuyside Library. The Rev. Mr Dudloy, Joseph Tole, Esq., Mr fry, Mr Gruud, Mr Ewington, nnd a host of others subscribed or wtrc asked to. Ask any one of all these gentlemen, or any other subscriber whether they have subscribed to build Mr Page a public house. Nor woro many of these subscriptions .of a trilling nature. J. A. Tole, E«q., Bubseribcd £5, as Mr Page strongly put it, to furnish a library to keep the young men out of the giu shop. Not is the statement that most of the in habitants were favourable to Mr Page ob taining a license less contrary to fact than the above. The inhabitants are not favour able ts Mr Page obtaining his license, nnd when the proper timo arrives the inhabi tants of Mount Albert highway district, in which Mr Page resides, will speak with no uncertain voice, and will most certainly undeceive Mr Page as to their wish that hu should obtain his license. Up to the present, tho inhabitants of this locality have beeu hard-working, sober, and indus trious. They have supplied no inmates to the gaol or asylum ; they ato averse to public-houses, and the curse and blight they are likely to bring upon this rising locality. Nor is the name of the wine and spirit merchant of Auckland 011 Mr Page's list any guarantee of the capability of that gentlemau to conduct a well-ordered public house situated as this one will be beyond police supervision. We tear much for the luture well-being of our and neighbouring families if this grog shop is forced upon ns. We therefore hope and trust that the Licensing Court will not grant this license to Mr Page to bring desolation nud misery to many that are now happy and virtuous family circles.—We are, &c, J. Mcelwain, jas. R. Walters.

' _f"l. *"tho maKing of books there is no end,': V/ wrote an inspired author in the infancy of tho world, thousands ot years before the art pre servative of all arts was discovered. But book making now is a very different thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, now a-days tho world is almost •" em barrasdesrochessos" of learning, "quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in books. And much of this learning is liberally snpplied by modern publishers, such as Cassell, Potter and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a legion ot others. Not only are tho works issued by these firms of the highest practical use, but they are sent out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of tho remarkable progreßsthat has been made In book illumination. Nothing in onr opinion tends to civiltse or beautify a home so much as good books and pictures. You can form a good idea of a man from his library. The great difficulty with many in obtaining books of a high class in nearly every depart ment of literature is the almost prohibitive price at which they are isßued from the press, and it ia really a boon to society when works of admitted excellence aro brought within the reach of persons of moderate means by the admirable System of Time Payments.
