OUR SYDNEY LETTER.

(By The "Vagabond.")

Sydney, March 23, PRESIDENT PARKES.

The American mail has not brought us much account of the doings of Sir 'Enery. The admirable letters of the "Evening News' " representative as yet published are simply descriptive. The "Sydney Morn ing Heralds special coirespondent—-ent all the way from England to meet the Premier at San Francisco—he., written no word at all. This gentleman will prove rather an expensive luxury. I have my own private correspondent, who writes mo from San Francisco thus: —" For some days our mutual friend was ominously quiet and retiring; if it is not treason to say so, he waa very seasick. Afterwards, however, he made himself very agreeable ln a quiet way. He did not make much impres sion on us in San Francisco, although he was paid very considerable attention, dined, etc., and one night had a grand serenade and reception given him at the Palace. The fact that he was a 'frost' is shown by the newspapers mak ing so little ot him. You may .ay there wasn't much to make, but we wanted to know what his little game was. Of course we knew that his nominal 'mission,' to obtain a remission of the wool duties, was absurd. Parke3 wa. so particular in mak ing enquiries a. to the workings of onr 'cable road' that it is rumoured ho will return to Australia as president of a com pany to introduce what you call 'wire tramways ' into your streets. But he also spent considerable time with the Pacific Mail Agents, and Dimond went East with him to Washington, defraying all ex penses. So again wicked people say that Parkes came over specially to ' lobby' for Pacific Mail. Well, they have had bigger men than Parkes in their employ before now.' TOM D. M'KAY. " The irrepressible agent of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy R.R., met us on board the Australia, and at once got in troduced to the Premier. He told him that he had arranged for a special palace car via the Burlington route to run right through from San Francisco and New York; alo, that tbe name of Parkes was in the free list at the barof thePalaceHotel, andin Ellis-street, and that if ever he wanted a guide, philosopher, and friend, or was short of a few dollars, he r hould apply to Tom D, M'Kay. So Miss Parkes, Sir 'Enery, and vV. Diiver had a good lime goin_[ overland, —bouquets of fresh cut flowers ;u hermeti cally sealed boxes meeting them from the East eveiy day—a delicate attention of M'Kay's. They were, however, snowed up for twenty ■ four hours." Through my "special" by the next mail I shall hear more of him, ST. PATRICK'S DAY Has come and gone, and never a head broken. There were the usual picnics down the harbour, but as dancing licenses were refused to the proprietors of the picnic. grounds, Pat and Biddy had nothing to do but listen to tbe orations, drink bad whisky, and make love. We are really too virtuc.s now-a-days. We may not drink after 11 o'clock at night, or before 6 o'clock in the morning. We cannot dance around the Bhores of our beautiful harbour, and now I see by this morning's paper that 25 youni; ladies were fined Is each for conduct ing a raffle in connection with a 11. C, Bazaar at Gundagar. This is really too Pecksniffian. I don't say that I believe in the lottery system for collecting funds for a religious object. I have ■ had too many half-crowns extracted from my pecket on that ticket, but I think it certainly should be left to the good taste of the cleiical authorities. The. c proceed ings at Gundagar look very much like per secution, and I am told were Initiated to form a precedent to slop any lotteries at the Old English Fair shortly to be held at St. Mary's Cathedral. St. Patrick's Day falling on a Friday, the customary banquet, at which Mr W. Bede Dally will preside, will be held in the Town Hall to-night. At the Gaiety Theatre, a special bill was given in honour of the occasion, and Mr Sam Poole sang " The Weariu' o' the Green," and sang it admirably too, although it was a very mild version, and although an "Orange" leader had cautioned this well-known comedian against doing so—as great a piece of impertinence as I ever remember. CRIMES AND OFFENCES. It Is said that there will be an enquiry, departmental and official, into the c .uses of the death of the labouiere at work in tbe cylinder at lion Cove. It ia well under stood now that the " caisson fever " theory is absurd, and that '.he men really suffered from tb. effects of tbe impure air pumped into the cylinder. I People want to know how it is that the superintending engineer does not go down into the cylinder himself and see how the work is going on.—An extraordinary attack by three German sailors on a young man and woman took place at an early hour last night. The girl was rather severely stabbed. It is to be hoped the offenders will be taken. These foreign sailors in port are a great nuisance. —It is proposed to put a " drunk and dis orderly" carriage on the through train between Sydney and Melbourne. Onr Pecksniffian legislators, who will allow nothing stronger than tea to be sold at the refreshment rooms, cannot, prevent passen gers carrying bottle., and th ■ nuisance caused thereby is becoming daily more pronounced. AMUSEMENTS, Tbe month before Easter is the slackest time in the year in tbe theatrical line. All the hou.es here have been changing tbe bill twice or three times a week, with the exception of" No Meicy," which ran at the Gaiety for a fortnight. Mr Dampier is now playing "L.5.D.," one of Mr F. R. C. Hopkin's adaptations. With the exception of Robertson's comedy, " M.P.," this play has the shortest title I know of. Miss Pomeroy has not done well at the Royal, but she has been badly supported. At first she had Theo. Hamilton and J. B. Steele, but now the leading man is Mr Flemming, an .esthetic young gentleman, who was an amateur when Mrs Scott-biddons took Mm in hand, I once saw him play "Romeo." His support is enough to crush any actress. Miss Ada Ward has finished a highly successful season at the Queen's. She is succeeded by "Hudson's Surprise Party," which I last heaid of at Shanghai. All the world is a stage to the player nowadays. Bland Holt has arrived, and is preparing " The World" to open at the Royal on Easter Saturday. This is snre to be a great success. Mr Thomas Sayers, con of the ex-champion of England, arrived by the Australia, He is a comic singer, and expects to make money in the colonies, I am afraid he will be disappointed. If he could li'jht now, and were able to beat Larry Foley, be would stand a ohance ol getting a public-house, ETCETERAS. Mr Clarke, tbe new Attorney-General for Fiji, left by the Gunga last week. No one knows anything of this gentleman, but if he has not qualifications he must have had influence, a better thing to possess than brains. — All Sir Arthur Gordon's old fol lowers axe going home on sick leave. Following tbe;r patron they hope to get office elsewhere through his recommenda tions. —Mr Dcs Vceux, the present Cover. nor, does not care about the Gordon clique. —Our drapers and furnishing honses are cutting, each other's throats. Competition leads to sharp practice, but the smartest case I have heard for a long time occurred the other day when Messrs Farmer and Co. sent a man to. put up blinds all over the house ot a new arrival in spite of the lady's protestations that they had not been ordered. However, they had to be taken down agein,—A friend of mine writes me an acconnt of a charming wedding at San Francisco. It took place in the mornii-g.the mansion being one bower of flowers. When the ceremony was over the bridesmaids tied these up, and sent them to the different hospitals,

A notable fish—an undoubted brown trout —ba. been presented to Colonel Fackc, of Christchureh. The length of the fl.h was 31in., the girth 21Jin., and the weight no less that 191b. This specimen, which was caught by Mr Charles Nicholas at Tetnuka, proved to be in splendid condition for tie table, the flesh being a palo orange. Colonel Packe has taken the trouble to compare the weights attained by New Zealand trout with the English stan dard, and thereby he has been en abled to communicate an item of no slight interest to pisciculturist.. The scale for ascertaining the weight of fish, as given by Messrs Peach and Sons, of Derby, shows that a trout 30in. long ought to weigh 101b l.oz; and that a salmon of the same length ought to weigh 101b Soz, Yet the specimen under notice fetched the comparatively enormous weight of |.91b. The fact demonstrates that the New Zealand waters are peculiarly adapted for the production of fine fish; and no donbt one reason for this is the superabundance of silveries lv some of the streams.—"Lyttelton Times," <

PARNELL BOROUGH COUNCIL.

The ordinary meeting of the Council was held on Monday evening. Present: Th e Mayor, and Councillors Winks, Barber Mullens, and Davis,

Correspondence —Letters were read from :—Mr Mclntyre applying for continu. ation of the pathway iv front of his pro. perty.—Tho Foreman of Works was iv! atrncted to form footpath provided pro. perty owners p y half tbe cost. From Mr Cousins stating that he bad given instruc. tions for a renewal of the fencing in Selwyu Terrace. From Mr Brabazon asking if it was necessary to obtain a permit to erect a cottage.—Town Clerk was instructed to reply that a, permit was not required. Frost Mr Lowndes complaining that the dust contractor had refused to remove refuse from his premises.—The Sanitary Inspector i stated that the contractor bad refused to remove branches of trees which were no ! household refuse. From Messrs A. and J Smith and others asking for the formation of the footpath fronting their premises Council ordered a copy of the letter to ba forwarded to Ihe trustees of the property. Engineers' Report. — Messrs Boylan and Lundon reported the completion of the roads in the Churton Ectate. They also reported an encroachment of two feet on the street by Mr Silva. The lower end oi Mr Hood's fence was also on the street.— Council instructed the Engineers to see Mr Baber's plans, and report again. Street Committee's Repobt. — This committee recommended that the Foreman of Works supply an estimate of the cost of making the Strand road. They recom« mended that Mrs Coates connect tbe drain from her premises with the drain con structed recently by the Council. They further recommended that the Foreman be instructed to repair the fence in Selwyn Terrace. There was another recommenda tion to the effect that the Council request the Telegraph Department to paint the telegraph poles in the borough with white paint,—Adopted.

Report of Foreman.—The forw_an reported that the culvert in St. George's Bay Road was unsafe. He asked whether be waa to pioceed with the gravelling of Salesbury-street and along New-street to McCabe _ corner, as it would be very bad in the winter if not attended to. -Referred to streets committee.

Sanitary inspector.—This officer re ported that the slaughter houses were in a " passable " condition. The drains in tha Borough were in a satisfactory state The nuisance at the Soap Factory had been abated. Peremptory instructions were given to tbe inspector to carry out the ln. structions of tbe Council re unregistered dogs.

A body has been found in tbe river at Brisbane, which is believed to be that of Mr Lucas, who called at B. D. Moreheadl and Co.'s a few days ago, stating that he was a barrister from Sydney, and expected a remittance. A letter containing £20 came for him next day, bnt he did not call again. , 7 The Government have offered for. tha fir. t time a bonus of £1,000 for the produc tion, in _«ew Zealand, ot 300 tons of pig« iron, of marketable quality, from ore pro duced in New Zealand. 1. The bonus not to be given for any quantity less than 100. t.na. 2. Notice of the intention to erect ironworks andclaim the bonus must be givea; to the Colonial Secretary, before the 31st7 December, 1882. 3. The bonus must be claimed before the 31st December, 1883, Iron ore is known to exist in this Provin . cial District, and we hope the boons will ba the means of causing its utilisation. On Captain Symond's estate, Big" Muddy, Creek, iron stone is found, which, accord ing to the analysis of Mr Skey, contains 70-06 per cent of metallic iron. It has been snreiied by Messrs Fraser and Tinne, and also at the Fitzroy Ironworks, Sydney.

The Rev. Mr Green, in his account of Mount Cook, says:—"Paradiseand bine ducks were pretty numerous ou the Tasman River, close to the glacier, and the kea, tiia large green mountain parrot, whose abomi nably cruel manner of slanghtering sheep by tearing out their viecera through their flanks is well known, was also common, and considerable numbers of both ducks and parrots fonnd their way into the refrigerating larder, a hole dug iv the ice of the glacier. The guides vrerfl. capital hands at making soups, and tfce parrots particularly were .in high favour for this purpose. The blue ducks, as usual, were as stupid as noddies, and allowed themselves to be pelted till two or th.cc: could be got at each shot. Tho keas came about the upper camp aa boldly as wekas, hopping about oa the boulders close to the fire, anel watching the operation of cook.ng with great apparent interest, even;' _t may be imagined, as if they knew it* .raijt a matter of personal interest to them selves. So bold were they that Mr Green, killed one with a stick, and knocked over another. The latter got away, however, and flying off to a bank a hundred yard* away, vented his anger, or expressed h.9 pain, or both, in a screaming volley of " keas 1" A number of others joined this one, and united with the wounded bird lit harsh execrations of the invader of their domain. It is worthy of note that thence* forward the keas kept at a respectaple d's tance from the camp, proving almost thft they are able to indicate a particular danger to each other. A few pukakis and wcka9 were also obtained."
