THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1882.

Tor tho caun that lacks aishlance, For tbe wrong that needs resbtanc For the future in tha distance) And the good that we can da.

The reception of Tawhiao to-day was all that could have been desired. The people entered spontaneously into tho spirit of the thing, and if our visitors aro not satisfied with tbo hearty goodwill which pervades tho minds of the people of Auckland to wards them, it is cot possible for British enthusiasm to make itself understood. We believe, however, that they were deeply impressed with tbe conviction that it is really desired by the coUnists that the day rhall mark the beginning of a new and happier era between the two races, and that having joined hands they shall seek unitedly the supremo good of all the people—European and Maori—in habiting these islands. This was, we aro suro, the animating spirit of to-day's de monstration, and that it may bo fully realised in the near future is tho earnest wish of every true man in the country,

There is further news of probable serious embroilment contained in recent European cablegrams. Tho Egyptian Assembly of Notables has taken up a position antagon istic to the suzerainty of tho Porte, vir tually claiming the entire government of the kingdom, and this step tends to complicate tbe crisis which has been caused in that country by the joint action of the British and French Governments. Tbe Ottoman representative at the Court of St. James has meanwhile presented the formal remon strance of the Sultan of Turkey against tho interference of tho Western Powers in ths affairs ot Egypt, and it remains to bo seen how this remonstrance will be met, The Sultan has magnified this matter into one of international importance by making it the subject of an identical note to all the Powers, and the upshot will in all likelihood be a withdrawal by Britain i and France of the message which has caused such a stir. Tbe stand taken by the Assembly of Notable?, may, however, prove to be the initial step towards the liberation of the oppressed "fellaheen" of Egypt from the grievous yoke of Turkish tyranny. To-day we publish a telegram from Vienna, which shows that an in surrectionary movement of a serious charac ter threatens tiouble to the Austrian Empire. In Southern Dalmatia tbe people in several districts .have risen in arms against the Government; and the Herze govinians, lately brought under Austrian sway, are also manifesting symptoms of disaffection. The Austrian Government is despatching largo bodies of troops to the disturbed provinces, and it is to do feared that the rising will not be quolled without bloodshed.

The Montague-Turner Opera Company were passengers for Wellington by the Arawata, which left for Southern ports at noon to-day.

OwiDgtolthe reception of Tawhiao to-day, the meeting of shareholders of the Coffee Palace Company has been further ad. joumed.

The ship Roman Empire, from London, with about 90 passengers, was signalled late this afternoon. Ur Philson will probably pay his usual visit early to-morrow morning. The vessel's cargo and passenger list are published in our shipping column.

A large number of Maoris arrived from Wairoa to-day with the first peaches of the season. They took up their quarters on the wharf reclamation near tbe toll-house, and found rapid sale for their fruit, a kit containing about two dozen smallish peaches being sold for one shilling.

We notice among the changes and ap pointments confirmed at the Primitive Methodist Conference, held at Wellington, that the Rev. J. Long will be removed to New Plymouth. This change will bo felt by the congregation of Alexandra-street Chapel, where Mr Long's ministrations have been successful, and his earnestness and sincerity have won the esteem of his people.

Two Cambridge gentlemen draw our at tention to the fact that Mr Fautham'a letter about the sale of his farm is apt to mislead persons unacquainted with the facts ; and that the sale of the whole farm did reach the figure named in our report, viz , £11 16s per acre,. The auction, it is true, only averaged £8 6j, but the best portions of the farm had been disposed of privately prior to the public sale. The Cambridge Jockey Club gave £20 an acre for 124 acres, and Mr J, S. Bucklaml £12un acre for 333 acres, so making the general average of £11 16s for the whole farm.

' The annual meeting of the Mangere Presbyterian Kiik was held on the sth inst. The annual report showed that the sittings in the church were nearly all let, and that the total receipts for the year had amounted to £IG2 17s lid. The following gentlemen were elected office-bearers for the coming year :—Messrs John. Scott, sea. (chairman), James Anderson (secretary and treasurer), J. Robertson, jun, Joseph Young, and John Massey, Jan., with Messrs A. Anderson and W. F. Massey, auditors.

|| A meeting of the members of tho Auck iland Rifle Association will bo held in the Diill-shed, to-morrow (Friday) night, at 8 o'clock sharp, for the election of committee for the ensuing year, and other business. It is desirable that intending members, and others whs can conveniently attend, should I be present at this meeting.

A correspondent wishes to know who is the author of the lines beginning —

Your voiooloss lips, O flowers, aro living preacher?, Kaon cup a pulpit, every loaf a book.

Mr P. Doran advertises a grand Tawhiao entertainment, to be held to-morrow (Friday) evening in the Theatre hoyal in honour of the Kiug. Mr Doran has re solved to make this the best variety con ceit he lias ever givon. Ho has devoted much time to the venture, and has secured the best available talent in Auckland. He hopes, therefore, that tho Reception Com mittee and tbo general public will practically second bis efforts to gratify tbe King and his attendants, and give eclat to his visit to tho city.

' We (" B. of P. Times ") understand that Mr G. V. Stewart has received by last mail from London, under date of December 1, a most satisfactory reply from his friends re the proposed steam tramway to tho Lakes. Mr Stewart has sent a copy of tho com munication to somo of his private friends hero, with a view of obtaining further in formation required. We aro not at liberty to enter further into details than to state that the required capital will bo forthcom ing provided some proposals can bo carried out, which, we arc informed, should be effected without much difficulty.

Tho Montagu-Tumor Opera Company closed a very successful eea»on last night with the reproduction of " Lucrczia Borgia." As on tho lirst representation, the opora was given with all the effect of which its griMid music, and striking situations arc capable The company, during their stay here, have established themselves com pletely in popular favour. No operatic sea son has afforden more genuine pleasure. Possessing a repertoire both extensive and choice, they have interpreted masters of the divine art with a faithfulness that leaves nothing to be desired. The company open in Wellington on the 23rd, wbcro,doubtless' ) new triumphs await them.

The man Lapham, who expired so sud denly yesterday at Drury, arrived thoro by the 8.30 Waikato train from Auckland, in charge of three sporting dogs—two Gordon and one English setter—consigned to Mr (iodkin, of the Farmers' hotel, He is described as an elderly man of stout habit of aody. Upon alighting from tho train at Drury, bo obtained possession of the dogs from the guard, and then started with them for the hotel which was only 100 yards distant. Bcforo ho reached it ho was seen to fall hoavily, and on assistance being rendered it was found that ho was quite dead. An inquest was held at Drury to-day, when a verdict was teturned, "Died from natural causes.'1

William Patterson, of Panmuro, was fined Is and costs, 31s, yesterday at the Onehunga Police. Court for assaulting Thomas McDcrmotr, by sti iking him. The parties had been to the racaa, and William Patterson, who had imbibed a considerable quantity of beer on that day, shewed a strong desire to fight somebody, and fixed upon McPermott. The latter, however, objected to a "mill," and in consequence of McDcrmott's passivcncsn, Kobert Putter sop, anxious to witness his brother's pro mised conquest in arms, held McDermotr, who felt that "ho who runs away lives to fight another day," when Willinm gave the perverse Thomas a blow on the face. His Worship took a lenient view of the affair, and, as Thomas was not injured, imposed a simplu fine.

Tho annual congregational meeting of members of Holy Trinity Cuuro'>, Otaiiuliu, was held on Monday evening last. Tbe re port showed that the receipts—including a balance of £25 from last year—amounted to £226 9» 7d. The balauce at presont ou hand was £4 lls Bd. Tho cliurch and school had becnrc-shingled at a cost of £65 —£40 of which had been raised at two soirees, £5 from current income, and £10 givon by a parishioner. Tho report on tho Sunday-school showed tbe averaco attend ance to havo been 71. Mr Shcppnrd was elected churchwarden for the parish, and Mr Bowden was rc-eppointed minister's warden. Tho following were chosen vestrymen: Messrs Box, Bush, Day, Duffus, Fairburn, Forcshaw, Luke, Rcilly, and Wills. Auditors : Messrs G. Wills and Jas, Wills wero re-appointed.

To tho Editor : Sir,—Your correspondent " Onehunga " is sadly perplexed as to why the pretty little village, of which ho in a namesake, never seems to got a stop ahead of what it was twelve years ago., and craves forasolntion ot tbe mighty problem. It has all the appliances that other places are possessed of, which havo far outgrown it, and yet it grows not. I therefore take tho liberty of putting him in mind of a common Scotch saying, viz., that the Clyde made Glasgow, and he will perhaps admit that with equal truthfulness, we can say that the magnificent Waiternata has made Auckland, aud consequently tlm want of a /similar first cause of permanent miccesn continues to keep One hunga what it is and must remain for many years to come. As a proof, why wai Bycroft and Co.'s mill and factory so much more an expensive industry in Onehunga than in Auckland, but that the carriage to that place of wheat, &c, all ot which had, when manufactured, to bo brought to Auck land again cither for shipment, local or inland use, was something enormous. Thus the Manukau bar has practically stopped tho mouth of Onchunga from speaking a word in irs own behalf, while the VVaitc mats, with open mouth and almost unpre cedented eloquence, has invited men of capital toitsshores, and will continue to do so. Moreover, the people thus invited find in the more immediate vicinity of Auck land, such as Ponsonby, Parnell, Rcmuera, and Mount Eden, with other like places, much more convenient and picturesque residence sites than at Onehunga,—l am, &c, Parnell.

The picnic in connection with the Mt. Hobson Boys' and Girls' School takes place to morrow in the Domain. All pupils are invited, andaro requested to moot at the school at 10 a.m.

A lecture will be delivered to-morrow evening in St. Sepulchre's Chnrcta Sohool-room, by Mr Vinos, on " Tho Unfoldlngs of Scripture In referenoe to the olose ot this dispensation, and the Pre-Mlllonial Advent of the Soa of Man.'

Tho Good Templars of Newmarket will hold a sooial gathering this evening, in the hall, for the purpo.e of giving a welcome to the re presentatives of the Auokland Lodges on their return from the Grand Lodgo Sesalonat Now Plymouth,

As usual, Mr Goodson takes the lead, and an olegant display of valentines may bo seen and selected from at the London Aroade ; they contain a varied assortment, humorous and sentimental, beautiful, and otherwise, from Id tosseach: but the wisest and most sensible valentine (and by far the most general at home) is a seloction from the attractive stalls in tho form of some useful and ornamental presont, accompanied by one of these paper valentines

The complimentary concert to Miss MoKwen will bo Riven in the Choral Hall, on the evening of the 25th lost., and from a glimpse at tho nearly completed programme, we feel assured of a successful result. The particulars will appenr in this journal as early as possible. Miss MoEwon gave promito of excellence ac a vocalist. Airs Kovitt, her tutor, has kindly promised hor assistance, also Miss Goo and other ladies. Mr Slater will accompany on the pianoforte, and Mr Gordon Gooch will sing Boreral new songs.

The sole agents for N. Z. of the celebrated original Zocdono are Messrs Kempthorne, Prossor, and Co. This sparkling oiforrusclng tonio and lite restorer studs unrivalled as a non-alcohollo beverage, and is almost equal to the finest champagne. It is a delicious drink, which greatly invigorates the system, acting most benefloially upon the brain and nerve tissue, and is Invaluable in cases of nirvous dis order. The " Lancet" speaks of it as folio ws :— "Zoedone contains tho soluble phosphates of lime, iron, ?oda, and potash in medicinal quan tities. Zoedono is a very efUcient and pleasant vehicle for tho administration of tho but little soluble phosphate of iron." The sales have reached to the almost incredulous amount of ten million bottles yoaily.and it is very cheap.

ENGLISH CRICKETERS AT TIMARU.

(BY TELEGBAPII.—O#N CORRESPONDENT.)

TIMARU, Wednesday night. l On resuming, after the adjournment, Franks joined Rothwell. The incomer got one leg hit for four, and was then dis missed by Peato with a ball which broke from log—ls-4-82. Turner, his buccob sor, only scored a pinglo before giving a sharp chance to Emmett at ruid-on. 16-1 83 was the state of tho game as Jones partnered Rothwell. The latter's time now came as he put an easy one to Bates at corner point—l 7-7-87. It now became a question as to whether tbo remaining batsmen would bo ablo to complete the century. Raeves was run out in foolishly attempting a short run as Midwinter was no-balled. 18-5-D5 appeared on telegraph as Lough wended his way to tho wickets. -fwo byes were ruu and then Lough gained a hearty round of applause by putting Peato to square lo • for four, bringing the century up, He then ijavo Ulyett an easy chanco, but it was missed. In the next over Midwinter got him with a bailer—l 9-11-109. His quota was contributed by four hits. Bowie did not add to tho score, two runs being got tor by#B before ho was dismissed by Midwinter —20-O-111. Clements was tbo last man, and he was clean bowled right off. The inoing3 thus closod for 111—the largest score yet made against tho Englishmen in this colony. The innings closed at 3.10.

Midwinter: 122 balls, 16 maidona, 39 runs, 9 wiokets. Midwinter bowled two no balls. The fielding of Timaru was excessively loose, and the local men wero defeated by tiix wickets. The afternoon proved miser able for cricket. A stiff nor-weater was blowing, with slight showers of rain occa sionally. England's innings commenced at 3.20, Barlow and Ulyett as usual first appearing at the wickots. Rothwell and Hughes bowled, E. Fowler keeping the wickots. Ulyett soon put a soft one into tho slips, Hngbcs taking it— l-7-8. Selby signalised his advent by lifting Rothwell to on for 4. Barlow then gave the easiest chance to Moore, but was not taken. Runs came steadily until 40 went up, and then Hog ies gave way tc Lough. Selby having placed 21 to his credit, put one into Bowie's hands in long field, but it was allowed to find its way out again directly after. He was simi larly spared by Andrews at long oil". Encouraged by loose fielding, both bats men lashed out freely, with the result that Andrews redeemed himself by securing Barlow—2-26-62. The retiring batsman made five twos and sixteen siDgles. His plaoe was taken by Bates, who placed his second ball from Rothwell back to the bowler—3 0-62. Shrewsbury succeeded, and 80 going up, Lough relin quished the bowling in favour of Perry, Kothwell giving way to Hughes. The scores continued to mount steadily, Selby punish ing the loose bowling freely, and Shrews bury making some pretty cuts, but failing to negotiate the leg balls. At 115, Selby was run out, having contributed 57, including six fours, one three, and three twos, lie hit with great determination, but was sin gularly fortunate. Midwinter joined Shrewsbury, who added to his score, when Fowler withdrew his men from the field, giving as a reason that tho crowd would not keep back. Tbore was great dissatisfaction expressed at the play not being continued till 6 30, as agreed od.

SUBURBAN ENTERPRISE.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE LAKE AND NORTH SHORE.

"The signs of progress which are so ob en able jn every part of the city and its en virons aranot peculiar to them,but extend to some of the remoter Buburbs,andnowhere can this fact be moro strikingly exemplified than in the district known as the Lake. Within a very few years it has come into great favour as a place of rcbidenco for business men, and the demand for properties there has now grown so strong that at no distant period it bids fair to rival even Bemuer* and Bpsoro. The bulk of the land has already been bought up, fenced off, cleared, and laid down in grass; some of the most desirable locations have almost doubled in value within a year; charming villa resi dences are being erected at various points along the waterside and inland; while the improvement of the means of communica tion, and especially the construction of tlie new road to Northcote, have rendered it easily accessible from the city. A further convenience is just about to be supplied in the connection of the North Shore, Lake, and Northcote with Auckland by means of telephone. The posts are now on the ground ready tor erection, and the necessary cable from Northcote to Ponsonby will shortly be laid. When the work is completed, the residents in these places will certainly bo more directly en rapport with the city than even the good people of Newmarket, Mount Eden, Kemuera or Archhill. Mr D. L. Murdoch's hand some new villa on the sloping ground fronting the Lake beach is receiving its finishing touches at the hands of the contractors, Mr H. H. Lusk has considerably extended and im proved the dwellina-house which ha pur chased from Mr Henry Dacre, and Mr Black, an Australian squatter, has erected a commodious residence of 14 rooms,- with slated roof, besides energetically proceeding with the planting and ornamentation of his estate. Mr Auld, another recent arrival from Australia, and one of great experience in the manufacture of wines, has also taken up his residence in the district, and promises to be a valuable acquisition to the growing community. He has bought 30 acres of land, and intends to ntilise it for the pro duction of vine slips. Mr Whitaker's property enjoys more than a local celebrity for its line orchard af sub-tropical fruits, but it will soon have to be confessed inferior in every respect to the more exten sive fruit plantation of the Key. A. M. Mc- Callum, of which we shall have something to say further on. A notable| feature of the Lake, and one which many visitors seem 'inclined to think the " lion " of the place, is

Mb D. Robertson's Potjltby Estab- LISHMENT, situated by the side of tho main road Though only two years have elapsed since it was started, it has been conducted with so much energy, and its operations have been pushed forward with such ability, that it has gained quite a provincial repute, and the expectation is by no means high-flown or extravagant that in the course of a few more years it will be favourably known throughout the colony. The progress made during the past two years affords ample grounds for such an anticipation. Mr Robertson is an enthusiastic poultry fan cier, and he has taken great care to import the purest breeds of fowls, while his care of them is unexceptionable. The result is that his birds are as remark able for their fine, plump, and healthy ap pearance, as for their choiceness of selection, and his fame as a breeder has been bruited abroad by means ot the prizes he has won. Orders have been coining to him lately from places so remote aa Napjer and Gis borne, and in every case tho birds or eggs that he has forwarded seem to have given tbe highest satisfaction. The most strik ing features about Mr Kobertson's establishment are the methodical plan upon which he carries on bis opera'ions, his careful attention to what many would be disposed to regard as useless details, the neat arrangement of the poultry yards, and the air of cleanliness which pervades and surrounds everything connected with it. The property is about live acres _in area, but it is only the acre im mediately contiguous to the Bhop and dwelling-house that is devoted to the fowls. This acre extends around three aide? of the building, and is sub-divided by small paling fences, with wire netting on top, into eight or nine strips of ground, each one of which forms a capital prome nade and feeding ground for chanticleer and his string of hens. Kach ot these strip?, too, is supplied with_ a water fountain, which is cleaned out daily, a food trough, and a littlo white-washed fowl-house, approached by a diminutive foot-board, and shaped somewhat like a dog's kennel, only larger. Here the lighter birds roost and lay their eggs, -while the houses of the heavier ones are simply provided with straw for them to .repose upon. The ground is covered with red and white clover, amid which the fowls are able to get such sumptuous titbits as earthworms and grubs supply. A dis tinct species of poultry is kept in ea ih sub division. Thus in No. 1 a Polish rooster and two bens are confined. Birds of this breed aro handsome in appearance, and are famed for good laying, as well as for their serviceability for cnlinary purposes. The cock which Mr Robertson has took the first prize at the Sydney Exhibition. It was purchased from Grunscll, of Mullwarree Gardens, Victoria. Section N"o. 2 is set apart for houdaos, of which there arc one cock and four hens.- This is a French variety which has just come into great favour with farmers and breeders. They are constant sitters and non-layers, and mix readily with other kinds of poultry, while their loaring involves very little trouble- on the pprt of their owners. A family of well-developed Aylesbury ducks and a number of handsome Spanish fowls occupy section No. 3, and the remaining sectioas contain langshans, dark brahmas, black and buff cochins, and silver-spangled Hamburgs. Although this is the moulting season, they are all in prime condition, and look uncommonly well. The sections we have thus enumerated are grouped around the eastern and northern sides of the dwel ling-house, while the ground on the western sidcis divided longitudinally into two pieces, one of which is fitted up with coops for brooding fowls and those that are for sale, besides serving also as a run for the chickens, while the other is set apart exclusively for doririugs. This careful sub-division is necessary in order to guard against tbe de terioration of tbe breeds by misccgnation. Amongst the poultry for sale are some of those peculiar fowls popularly known as "the frizzled variety" the name being suggested, doubtless, by tbe ruffled manner in which their feathers stand out from the skin, as if they had been carefully brush d the wrong way. The chickens are numerous, active-looking, and plump. They enjoy free access to a pad dock of oats, and are also plentifully sup plied with prepared food. In fact, the dietary scale for both adults and young is liberal and healthy. At present it con sists principally of barley meal, boiled oil cake, wheat, chopped onions, and warm barley, the latter forming the evening meal. Encouraged by tho success which has hitherto attended his efforts, Mr Robertson has sent to California tor a consign ment of brown and white Leghorns, Dominies, and Pekin ducks, and to New York for an improved incubator, for which he has already a place fitted up, while ho has, too, some light Brahmas on their way from Melbourne. The bulk of his present stock of poultry has been imported from Lady Gwydar's establishment at Ipswicb, co that its worth and excellence can hardly be doubted. Should doubt exist, however, a personal inspection will amply suffice to dispel it. Mr Robertson deserves every en couragement in his enterprising under taking, and the patronage he has already obtained proves, at least, that his customers have confidence in him. The Rkv. Mr McCallum's Orchakd. Mr MeCallurn is a travelled minister of tho Presbyterian communion, but one whose energy cannot be confined to the dry routine of clerical life — the compos: tion of hebdomadal sermons, tbe conduct of prayer-meeting?, and tbe visitation of a scattered flock. Ho prefers to toil by tho sweat of tho brow un der the sweltering snn of summer and amid the rigours of. winter for tbe foundation of an independent homestead to consuming the midi.ight oil in preparing learned homilies for a bucolic congregation, whoso appreciation, even were it assured, would bo but a sorry compensation for its meagrcness in numerical strength. But Ilr McCftllum both labours physically and preaches as well, tho'Clerical woik, how ever, not being subordinated to the manual. He established himself midway between tbe Lake and Northcote about four years ago, and being impressed with the suitability, of tbp land for fruit-growing purposes he con ceived the idea of starting an orchard upon an elaborate and extensive scale, ifor the successful carrying out of this project the experience he has gained in Europe, Asia andJAmerica ,as well as his

close acquaintance with modern pomoloev •* peculiarly fitted him, and, therefore bet. 'W ceiviDg fair prospects of ultimate success -1 he formed his plans and commenced operali'S tions in a systematic way. It is unneces w sary to Mow him step by step in th(3J working out of his scheme. Suffice it to '*j say that he now owns 131 acres of fertile ;1 land, the larger moiety of which is cleared I that he has fully twenty acres under cultf, I vation, fifteen acres of which are planted ''s with fruit trees of a great number of species I and of these only the best varieties' i They are arranged in the quincunx ■ style, _ and include apples (8q! ■% varieties), peaches, pears, plums, almonds ll olive?, lemons, oranges, cherries, besides "2 many Japanese troes and some exotics, rl Thus he has in active growth the wax tree the lacquer tree, and the Eaki of Japan, the 1 latter producipg the celebrated " fruit, of I the gods," while these are supplemented by \ a nursery of ornamental shrubs and treos. f§ The apple trees number fully 3,000, and 'M with some CO almonds and 100 olives, are . flourishing rigorously. The estate has alio fis& a vineyard upon it, which is likewise doing I well. Mr McUaltam intends out-planting ts| this season a further tract of ten acres with I fruit trees, so that next year he I will have an orchard of 25 acres, as large -Jl and as valuable as any in the colony. He ii|j has also in contemplation the manufacture I of jams and preserves, for which the city is"'« such an excellent market, and should the I proposed' sugar refinery be established, ii * will, of course, greatly facilitate the profitable execution of his design, I Mr McCallum has shown what perseverance Vh can accomplish, he has also demonstrated the capabilities of the soil on the northern - I side of the harbour for the growth and pro duction of fruit. In these respects he has done good service.

(A notice of the Victoria Gardens, North Shore, has also been prepared, but in con- I sequence of pressure upon our space is held over till to-morrow.)

D. MACNAB AND COS NEW BREWERY.

The Kyber Pass bids fair to become in a

short time a second iiurton-ou-Trcut, there I being now no less than four breweries situ- •

ated within a radius of a quarter of a mile,

the latest addition being that of the Park

Brewery, jnst completed by Messrs 1). Mo-

Nab and W. J. Suiter, who have long been

known in brewing circles,

They have

secured an eligible site—next- to the Cap*

tain Cook brewery—on which is erected a

very neat and compact brewery. The plant, which is worked principally by steam power, is ah 8 hhd one. Particular care has been taken in sinking a well, and a large supply of excellent water has been ob- , taiued through scoria rock at a depth of 18ft, jjfj Every precaution has been taken) to pro. I vent surface water from entering the well. I The suction pipes are connected with a powerful pump fixed in the engine-room. The brewery has been designed to savai manual labour as much as possible, to •.{ render the supervision easy, as well asto •;; save the great height necessary and ad ditional labour required, where the : " tower" principle is adopted. One pump- ■F1 ing, viz., from the refrigerator to the rounds, is arranged. The cellar, for- ■>.§ wonting and cooling departments are built of wood and are two atones high, well ventilated with Venetian louvres. Thi' ,/'■& office, engine-room, malt-room, mash and. I boiling rooms arc built of brick, and three' I stories high, and are so constructed as to' I

keep the beat and steam clear ot the other I apartments. On the top of the briek 1 q portion is a large cistern capable of holding 5,000 gallons of water, which also forms the roof, and from which the water throughout I the entire building is supplied. The top floor is arched with brick arches on iron girders, on whish is situated the liquor boiler, which commands the mash tub, | which is fitted with a'"Steel's" patent mashing machine, and other modern im- ' proTrements. Over this is fixed the grist r? case. The wort runs direct from the mash I tub into the wort copper, which is on the i second; floor, also built ok brick I arches with iron girders from tne copper, ; The worts run into an open cooler, 9 and then over a refrigerator, and, as pre viously described, pumped into the rounds. > {together, the brewery has been con structed on a model principle, and reflects great credit on the designer (Mr Suiter.) ' Everything prejudicial to the successful carrying on or brewing operations has been studiously avoided. The building was so far completed on the 4th inst., as to allow the proprietors to commence brewing J operations, and, judging by the|aparkling appearance of the first brew, which is now I on draught, -the new enterprise may bo deemed to have a good future. Mr H. 6. . Wade was architect, and Mr H, X. Jones the builder. ' ■ <'

TAWHIAO AND THE MER CER NATIVES.

The natives here have met with a groat disappointment, owing to the fact that Taw Mao did not carry oat his programme ' a s originally intended. From information :

from head-quarters, received by tho natives hero, they were given to understand that '; His Royal Highness intended to remain M with them as their guest on Monday, and - proceed to Auckland on Tuesday morning, 19 Believing that those arrangements would ■ ' be carried out in their integrity, active pro* B paratious , were begun in order that Tawhiao might receive from them a right royal reception. For several days every one was busy at some part of their cooking ■'& operations, and, when completed, what a >J bight to see such a pile of provisions wait ing to be consumed ! Early in the day of .« his arrival, the township presented, quite a lively appearance, the natives being there in a body,. anxious to see the king, I and to escort him to the kainga i to .-. partake bf their hospitality. The shrill whistle of tbe approaching traiu was the signal for a grand rush on to tho platform. But, alau 1 there disappointment I awaited them. Their glorious hopes were $ shattered by being informed that someone. bad altered the original programme (and of I course it must be adhered to). Such a course of procedure is Sertainly not likely ' to raise the " pakeha " in the estimation of their dusky brethren. When those con- B ducting arrangements determined that ,:| Tawhiao should proceed to Auckland on I the Monday, an intimation to that effee' might surely have been sent here, in order to save the labour and expense in preparing such a quantity of fooa (which, from its character, must go to loss) by those who ate ill able to afford it.—C6bekspondkmt.
