ATLANTIC STEAMERS.

It may be of interest to colouial readers in general, and to intending passengers to England in particular, to know that the finest and fastest mail steamers now cross ing the Atlantic between Ken York and Liverpool are the Cunard steamer Servia, the Inman liner City of Rome, and the Guion boats Arizona and Alaska. The last-named has just completed the fastest Atlantic passage on record from Liverpool to New York, viz,, 7 days, C hours. I should decidedly adviso Australian pas sengers to patronise the Guion steamers, not only because they are the largest, finest and fastest liners now afloat, tut because they are also the pheapest— n through ticket to London, from Auckland, by a Union boat being only £68 instead of £70. I chose the Inman Company's City of Berlii to cross the " v erring pond " in a vessel of 5,740 tons, 1000 horse-power, and 470 feet long. The Berlin was built about ten years ago, and till the launching of the Arizona, bore the reputation of being the next larcest steamship afloat to the Great Eastern. I found her very comfortable. The cuisine especially wus the best I have ever known at sea, and tbe at tendance well trained and abundant. Apart from these facts I didn't enjoy the passage much. The fact is, the end of .April ih the coldest and most dangerous time of the your to cross the Atlantic. The icebergs are just loose, and in the neigh bourhood of Newfoundland, i.e., for the first three days of tbe run, you are enveloped in a dense and freezing fog. Captain Lutch told me that after leaving New York at tbia time of tho year, he has sometimes been on the bridge for four days and nights almost ■without intermission. Bath officers and captain were very ciyil and attintive, and gave me some most interesting information re ocean traffic which I will relate to you presently, when occasion offers. By-the bye, I forgot to mention that Captain Kupert Stephenson's (of Tauranga) wife has presented him with another infant joy in '.Frisco.

MAIL CLIPPINGS.

Dion Boucicault's gieat fairy spectacle, "Babil and Bijou," has been revived at the Alhambra, in London, with great splendour. The opera bouffe of the "Maaerppe," now being performed by over 200 companies in Great Britain, America, and on the Cou tinent, is generally admitted to ba the greatest success since "Pinafore." The comedy of "The Squire" is draw ing great houses to the London St. James's Theatre, 1 his is a fine adaptation of Thos. Hardy's famous novel, " Far from the madding Crowd." The Duke of Westminster and the Hon. Catherine Caroline Cavendish will, in all probability, be married at the end of August. The late duchess only died about 12 months ago.

Mr Joseph Huttou, the clever author of " Clytie " and other works of fiction, has a new novel in the press called "A Modern Ulyese9." "John liiglesant," now published by McMillan and Co. at six shillings, is generally admitted to be the cleverest novel of the year. Minn Bnddon b new novel " Mount Eoyal," and Payn's "For Cash Only," are tbe newest literary sensation?. The former is very poor, Mies B having evidently abont written herself out at last.

Now, according to Mr Stephen Fiske, tha richest man in the world is Mr W. H. Vanderbilt, of New York. That lucky gentleman has G5,000,000 dels, in United Status bonds, and is reported to hold some 50,000,000 dols. in New York Central and Hudson River stock, 50,000,000 dols. more in other railroads in this and other states, and a vast amount of valuable reul estate in this city. His property cannot airount to less than §200,000,000, end probably is nearer 1300,000,000 than the former. He is, therefore, without question, " the richest man on tbe g.obe" to-day. He could buy any of the Roths childs, and still be the richest .mm in the ■world. And, unlike the rich men of Kng land—the Dukes of Bedford, Westminster, Argyle, and Buccleuch, who inherited their great .estates—Mr Vandarbilt's property has been accumulated in two generations, and most of it within thirty years. Tho caso stands without parallel in history.

WELLINGTON, Saturday. Out Qolilflehls. — Meeting of Members.

The Committee appointed by the Goldfield Members, at a caucus this foreaoon, met this afternoon, and formed the iullowing auh-committeea : Messrs Sheeh»o, Seddon, and Fitzgerald, to report relative to the taxation on mining industry, and Messrs DeLautour, Pyke, Weston, and Cadman, to suggest some plan for assisting prospect ing parties, and providing diamond rock boring drills. Messrs BrowD, Weston, and DeLautonr, to report a3 to desirable altera tions in mining legislation. These sub committees are to report to general meet ing to be held on Monday.

Meeting To-day,

W4LLIJNGTON, this day.

The Committee of the goldfields members mat this forenoon, and appcinted Captain Morris and Mr DeLatonr a deputation to wait to-morrow on the Government \sith a View of ascertaining exactly what is meant by the allusion in the Go vernor's speech to the fact that the condition of the gold-mining industry " encourages the belief that further expenditure in opening up the goJdfields wilt be productive of the best results to the colony at large." On hearing the reply, the Committee will meet again and fully dis cuss the Government proposal*. In the meantime, there is the utmost unanimity and desire amongst the goldfields members from all parts of the colony to work uni tedly and determinedly.

Meeting of Aiicftland Members,

At a meeting of the Auckland inpmbers, convened by Mr fsaco.ck jto consjtfer the various Bills, there were present: Sir fit. Grey, Sir Q. M. O'KorKe, Mcsrs Moss, Hurst, Whyte, Hftrnfiu, (in chair), Dar aville, Peacock, Mitcholsou, Whitaker, Hobbs, Codman, and Sheehan, The first Bill submitted was a Bill which tbo Government intend to bring in, investing Government House and 7 acres in a university, and 4 acres adjoining for a Grammar School, and the remainder for the Choral Hall Society. Several of tke members objected to this bill, as taking them by surprise, be cause it was the first time many of them bad heard of any proposals to give the Grammar School or Choral Hall any of the laud which they considered ought bo appriated en tirely to the University, or to play grounds lor tho children of the district ischooli, who need it more than thoao attending the Grammar School.

Finally it was decided after an animated discussion by eight to four, "Thjt this meeting is of opinion tbat the consideration of thifl proposal should be postponed until the people of the provincp of Auckland may havo an opportunity of expressing their opinion more fully upon the matter now submitted.

Tbe next Bill was one proposing an endowment of 17,000 acres In the HokianßU district for a Museum and School of Ait

Mr HOBD3 concurred in the object, bat objected to the endowment being taken out of the county of Hokianga without the people there boing consulted. Ho said he had telegraphed to the Chairm&a of \)}c County Council, and was waiting their reply. Finally tbe meeting unanimously supported the endowment, but recognised .the force of Mr Hobbs objection.

The next bill was the Grammar School Bill, proposing t« alter the name simply to Aucktaid Grammar School, aid to giro olarged powers to the Board of Governors of leasing tne endowments, fto Abjections were mado to increase of powers, bat the striking out of tho word "colleao" Was ob jected to as tending to make it appear that tbo institution was iitended for primary .education only.

Mr Moss guv a notice that whan the Bill flame before the House, he intended to pro* pose additional clause, providing that the Board should be elected by the same con stituency aa the Board of Education; also, that when tho endowments ware go managed aa to iinpedo the progress of a district, the County Council Road Boar.d or Borough Council of such district might icport the same to tho Goy«mor, who should thereupon cause enquiry to be made, and havo power to cause the gaid endowment to be sold and the pro eoods invested for the sckooj,

Bible JReadint/ in Schools.

The meeting of members favourable to Bible reading in schools, convened by Mr Menziea, was held to-day; Mr Fulton in the chair. Twenty members were present, It was resolved to introduce a Bill in tho Upper House, making it optional with School Committees to allow Bible reading without comment on expiration of or before ordinary school hours.

AiuMm\& Endowments.

A return has beon made showing the endowments in land or money made to the various Harbour Boards, specifying which endowments and grants were made by the Provincial Governments an* which by thp General uovernment, and the estimated value of endowments in land at the time they were madb and at the present time. That for Auckland is mads by the Provincial Government, and valna »nen made was £10 per annum, The present value is £1,489. Endowments made by the General Government were, valne when made, at £77. The annual value at present is £207. Departure of the Governor. It has been finally fdecided thnt thp Governor leaves here on Friday or Satar. day for Fiji, and it is almost certain he will not return to the colony. The Property Tax. There is likely to be a searching enquiry into the working of the Property Tax Act. It has been ascertained that through some official blundering, the Insurance Compani.s alone haye escaped payments to the extent of nearly three thousand ptnads, and the total losses otherwise are said to be very large. The Hew Minister of Public Worhs: It is luraonred that Mr E. G. Wright, of Canterbury, will take the portfolio of Pub. lie Works. If this is correct, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction amongst Otago mem bers, but I believe the Government have not yet taken any step in the matter. ' Te Whiti and Tehu are expected here to wards the end of the week, in order to in spect the warship Nelson. There is a growing feeling among the Members of the House against future bor rowing. Mr Macanirew adheres to the opinion that money to continne the Public Works might be obtained within the colony, by establishing a National Bank of issue and paper currency, but will probably not attempt to give any effect to his views as a private member. Financial and Public Works Statement. The Financial Statement will certainly not be brqught down before Friday next, and probably not before the Tuesday fol. lowing. The Public Works Statement will be three weeks later. Mr Whitaker's Alienation of Lands Bilj, which abolishes large entail, wiU be identi cal with the Bill of last session. Hall to the Commodore. His Excellency' and Lady Gordon have accepted an invitation to be present at a ball, to be given by the citizens to Commo* dore Erskine, on Thursday next

The Northern Railway. Messrs Hobbs and Mitchelson, asiisted by other Auckland member*, are Btill work irjg hard in the matter of the Northern rail way. It is proposed to connect at Helens ville, and carry it through Port Albert and Wiiaiigurei to the Bay of Islands. The Otago men are very anxious about their Central line, and will be willing to assist Auckland providing they obtain tho sup port of Auckland member*. The Central Gaol. The residents of Wellington, are petition ing against the central gaol now construct ing at Mount Cook. They state ihat the Motut Uook reserve was obtained by the General Government from the Imperial authorities ia the same way as the Albert Barracks in Auckland, and ought to be given similarly to the Corporation. More Congratulations. A deputation of Chiiitchurch members this morning presented Sir J. Hall with a congratulatory address on his knighthood from the ChristcUurch City Council, Mr Thompson presented the address. Sir J. Hall, in .a feeling reply, expressed the deep gratifiction it afforded him to find that the mark of Her Majesty's approral had been received with satisfaction by his fel low-colonists without distinction of party, jEmployment of Females Act. Mr Green'« Employment «f Female* and Others Bill provides: "That no person shall employ any female young person or child Ifttween the hours of fi in the after noon and 8 in the morning, or for more than 8 hours in any one day; that nothing in this Act shall prevent the employment of females in retail places of business, where goods are exposed for sale, on Saturdays only, or on any day immediately preceding any public holiday, up to eight o'clock in the evening. Contract for Sleepers. Re the advertisement calling for tenders for tfje Mprrinsvifle-flamiltpn Railway, Mr Joyce has been in communication with the Government on behalf of the Saw Millers' Association, w}w desire alteration flf the contract from supply to stacking 50,000 sleepers. The Government state this is an experi* mental contract Mr JOYCE replied it was obvious that the succesiful contractor had a preference ovor others in future and similar contracts. Moreover, two distUct businesses were in cluded in this contract. The Minister promised to consult Mr Blair on the subject, and determine whether the contraot should be altered or time extended.

THE PROPOSED DOCK.

(To tho Editor.)

Slß,—ln your issue of Saturday lost you give the dimensions of tho foreign war ships Dulllo and Italia as rjroof that the proposed dimensions of Calliope Point new dock aro ample for all requirements. The warships mentioned are huge floating battoriop, and not likely to visit our wators In a hurry. You again say :" To show the utter folly ot making a dock of larger dimen sions than agreed upon, it may bo stated that the Great Eastern, with 10,000 tons of coal and 6,000 tons of cargo, could be floated into the proposed new dock, with three feet of water to spare ; hut you omitted to tell your reader* how many hundred feet would ' have to be cut -off the Great Eastern before she could be docked in 500 ft. length. By referring to the Great Eastern, you yourself show the folly of having a dock with 33ft. on the sill, and only 500 ft. lonp. Twentjr-ilye • feet of water on the sill at ordinary spring tides is ample depth for a length of 600 ft. The Groat Eastern, when the 16,000 tons of coal and cargo would be taken out of her, I have no doubt could be docked on 25ft. depth, but what about [the length ? The question of dock accommodation for tho further requirements of this port should not be treated lightly or hurriedly, for there is no hurry for the proposed dock, nor immediate necessity for It, even the most sanguine of the promoters admit ting that it will not be required for the next five years or until the Panama Canal is opened, and I fancy the class of vessels that will come through that Canal will be long and shallow, and not deep and broad. Therefore, the whole question should be calmly and deliberately considered and dis cussed, the bestlprofessional,skiU,and advice obtained in order to arrive at a sensible and reasonaoie conclusion, otherwise the pro moters may find themselves some day, after wasting a large amount of money in experimenting in the position of the Coffee Palace promoters, viz., that after giving in structions for a grand edifice to bo erected (plans and specifications prepared) they find the amount of the 'tenders beyond their mean's.—l am, &c> D. H. McKenzie,

[Captain McKeazie, In criticising our remarks, gives strong if unconscious sup port to them in Beveral particulars. He disclaims our charge of obstruction " pre ferred against him, but renews his tactics of purposeless delay, by alleging that there is no 'need of pushing on the dock for several J ears to come. In the face of the declaration of Commodore Erskine, which formed oar chief ground lor urging expedi tion, we again repeat that Captain McKeazie is offering unjustifiable and unreasonable obstruction to the project, The dock is wanted for the nse of Her Majesty's war-ships ; it is wanted at once, and a powerful reason for hastening its construction is that the Colonial port which first provides the ' desired con venience will have undoubted preference as a refitting depdt for ships of war. The dimensiOHS we' advocated are such as would suit for'this purpose. It would be absurd to make provision for a traffic which may nevpr arjae, and for the long and light-draught steamer of the future .which may nevur be realised; especially aa we have shown that the dock may be lengthened at a trifling cast, at any future time.-rEb. B.S.]

Tho City North Liconsing Commissioners uavo renewed their license of tho old Cot ta£?e of Content Hotel for the handsome new building now being erected at the oorner of Hobson and Victoria streets,which will in future known as the Hobson Hotel. All the licenses in the district have also been extended to twelve o'clock.

GARIBALDI PATRIOT AND LIBERATOR.

QuiSEFPE GABIBULDI, whose death ia just announced, was born at Mice, of poor parents, on July 22, 1807. His earlier years were spent in seafaring pur suits, bat having an unquenchable love of adventure, and an ardent spirit of patriotism he soon became involved in the various efforts made to liberate and re generate Italy. He was twice implicated along with Mazzini in conspiracies against Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, and sen tenced to death_ having been passed upon him he was obliged to keep away from the country. He took service first under the Bey of Tunis, then fought for the Rio Grande Republic against Brazil, and passed through a series of suprising enterprises before returning to Europe, where he took part in the struggle against the French in 1848 He returned to America, became a soap and candle manufacturer for a time, then visited England, and next settled down as a farmer on the inland of Caprera. In 1860, when the rising against Austrian rule took place, he formed hit celebrated corps of Alpine Chasseurs, and engaged with distinction in ail the princi pal actions ia that memorable struggle, lie interested himself nest in Hungarian independence, again visited England, took part In the campaign in 1866, took the field against and defeated the Pontifical troops in 1867. Assisted the French in their war agaisnt Germany, anrt in 1875 was elected to the Italian Parlia ment. His latest public act was the delivery of an anti-papal speech at the celebration of the Sicilian vespers at Palermo in March last.

Messrs Boylau and Lundou, civil en gineers, are preparing plans for a number of important works for the Mercury ISay Timber Company.
