PERILOUS VOYAGE OF A BARQUE FROM SYDNEY 10 MELBOURNE. Melbourne, Sunday.

The barqueßoseM., from Hmnboldt Bay, experienced a very unpleasant and perilous voyage between Sydney and Melbourne. The barque arrived at Sydney on the 21st ultimo, and sailed again on th j same date for Melbourne. She had ordinary weather until the 26th, when the wind blow a hurri cane from the westward, splitting the foresail, the lower foretopsail, and mainsaiL A tremendous sea broke over the vessel, which appeared to be settling down, consequently tbe deck load of timber was thrown overboard. All hands were at the pumps to prevent the water, which was coming in rapidly from tho hold, from gainiDg. The gale continued ihe fol lowing day, and the seas appeared to do as they liked with the barque, tlje crew having to seek shelter aft in the cabin. The vessel experienced bad weather, and was almost in momentary peril of sinking, until the 2nd inst., when tho captain bore up for Twofold Bay for shelter and repairs. The voyage was re snmed on the sth. The wind again blew a stiff gale, and the jib and the mizzon staysail were split. A tremendous sea, which caught the barque amidships, lifted the mainsail, and started the crossbeam on the poop deck, and did other damage. Kesort was again had to pumping. Temporary repairs were made, and, atter further battling with the weather, the barque reached port on Satur day, much to the relief of the crew.

TAWHIAO'S MOVEMENTS.

YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS,

The king and his party .visited Auckland Institute and Museum yesterday afternoon, and oxpreßsed their pleasure at the things brought under their view, and explained by the interpreter. The classical statuary and natural curiosities in the building were pointed out to the king, and in which he" felt greatly interested. Potara te Tuhi made some shrewd remarks on the nude figures and the scanty garb of the natives, and expressed an opinion' that pakehas were hypocritical people; they regarded the scantily clothed Maori with surprise and horror, and yet in 'heir museum he s;nv forms of human beings quite nude. The picture (presented by Mr Mackelvie) "The Spirit of Justice," drew forth a satirical remark from an old chief, to the effect that the scales of Justice were evenly balanced in the picture, but it was not so in real life, for it was generally found that the pakeba managed to kick, or turn the beam in his own favour. The crated water and lemonade manufactory of Mr John Grey, Official Bay, was visited, and the King party conducted over the premises by the proprietor, who explained the process cf manufacture to the natives. Tae ice machine astonished the King, and ex pressions of suprise were also fre quently repeated upon tasting Mr Grey's ice, and other cordials. The king again visited Pnlman's photographic gallery, to look upon the features of many a departed chief, familiar to the king in earlier and less peaceful days. He selected a number of chiefs and old friends, and ex pressed surprise on seeing such a large col lection of native portraits in one house. Miss Pulman presented several, and Taw hiao received them from her hand with pleasant smiles, promising to call and gee that young lady on his return from the Kai para. This concluded the day's perambula tions. _____^______

CARY'S JUVENILE OPERA COMPANY.

Owing, no doubt, to the strong counter attraction, there was but a moderate, atten dance at the Theatre Royal last evening on the occasion ot the second appearance of Cary's Juvenile Pirates Company. The performance was on the whole an excellent one, though a few of the lilliputian per formers have not yet attained anything approaching proficiency in the varied details of stage business. The most notable exceptions to this are Miss Lena Robinson, who plays Mabel Stanley, Master Cary, to whom has been entrusted the per sonation of tke Pirate King, and Master VVyall, whose r&le is "The Model Major General." Both of the two last named are perfect copies ia miniature of the performers in Cary's aduli company. The detachment of police is one of the most amusing features of the opera, the supposed bumptiousness of the average guardian of the peace being burlesqued in a most laughable manner. A tableau representing Britannia formed an appropriate finale. The orchestra arrangements are excellent, and to Mr Cimino's skill as a conductor the success achieved is in no small measure due.

DEPARTURE OF TAWHIAO AND PARTY.

TAWHIAO and the bulk of the natives who came down with him from the Waikato, as well ns Paora Tuhaere and the other chiefs who met them here, left this morning by the seven o'clock Kaipara train for Keweti, whoro a land of native assembly or Par liamont is to bo held. The majority of thti natives strolled down to the station in small parties, from half-past six until near seven, while Tawhiao drove down in company with i'.lajor Mair, There wete also a number of Europeans present in order to Bee the visitors oil', prominent amongst them beiiig Councillor Offer, Mr T. B ilill, Mr E. T, Dufaur, Mr D. Dunn ingham, Mr King; and Mr W, Rattrrty. As soon as the train had been drawn up along side tho sf.ation, the Maoris dispersed them selves throughout the various carriages. The guard, however* objected to this arrangement, foolishly desiring thatj at least, two carriagefl ohould be reserved for any European travellers who might pre sent themselves. Accordingly he got Mr Dufaur to summon the Maoris out of ttiro compartments, and tried to bundle them in amongst their own people. Tlifty were Hot so tractable as he imagined. Divining cor rectly tho cause of this classification, Aihepene (a Waiuku chief), Patara te Tuhi (the king's brother-in-law), and Tiria (the king's sister), resented the treatment tney had roccived, by refusing to re-enter the train. They were coaxed and cajoled for a long time to no purpose, Tuhi sarcastically re marking that it was a case of " kapai tho Pakeha; no good the Maori." He also said that it was not the first time his people had learnt that the Europeans' speech differed widely from tbeir actions. At length, after a considerable exercise of persuasive power, the recusants were in duced to join their party in the train, and after some cheering on both Bides it then moved off.

The incident to which wo havo referred is to be deplored, for there can be no doubt that the Mnoriu will bear it in mind and draw their own conclusions from it. In fact they have done that already, as Tula's ob servation shows, They are far moro sensi tive than most people would imagine, and a simple occurrence like this will impress them quite as deeply as all our cndeavouiD to shew them that we recognise dishonour ing distinctions between the two races. We earned their good opinion by eating from the same table with them, but the heedless and ill-considered action of a subordinate railway official may undo half the effect wo have striven to produce. The party intend to return on Saturday, and therefore, if invited, will probably remain ovor Monday, in order to witness tho Kegatta. If the scheme is at all feaiible it would De worth while to arrange for a canoe race, or at least to contrive some sort of competition calculated to enlist their interest in the day's proceedings, Should any thing of the. sort be contemplated it ought to be undertaken at once, ior unices expedition is used the thing had better not be attempted. It would uot do to start with it and then relinquish it. Probably, if Paul weto communicated with, some thing might be done in tho matter.

With rofcrcuco to the prizes of books given by Mr ISwanson, M.H.H., for all pupils at the Newton and Pousonby schools who succeeded in carrying oIF scholarships, it may be mentioned that this offer was one made by Mr Swanson when a public school was first started in Newton. Tho prize was first claimed two years ago by Master Bettany. Last year two boys from Ponsonby won it and ono from New ton. This year four from Ponsonby and one trom Newton. The result is highly creditable to Mr Bailey, teacher of Pon sonby Bchhool.

Messrs B. Tonks and Co. will put Jup to auction on Friday, the richt to have refresh ments booths on the Domain ground during the three days on which tho cricket match with the English players takes places. As tho match is likely to draw crowds of spectators, the right of vending refreshments should be eagerly contested.
