Manila, the capital of itho Pnilippiuo Islands, would actia to be one of thoso teeming centres or population which are exposed to periodical visitations of Provi dence, in the form of destructive calamities, Pounded as early as 1371, this city has had a serii sol successive growths, each on a, larger scale than the preceding, until now it is a handsome and well-built place of 100,000 inhabi.aats, or 230,443, including the populous suburb?, inhabited by foreign merchant*, &c. In 1G45, the town was nearly destroyed by an earthquake ; and in September imd October, ISs2—just tbirty years ago-a series of earthquake shocks were experienced, which wrecked nearly every house in the place, though only three persons wore killed." Tho most destructive earthquake occurredinlS6s, whenthefirouud sank two feet, and the cathedral, palace, all the churchps but one, and most of the dwelling-housts were levelled with the ground. At that tima 2,000 lives were lost. Oa the 30th October, 1875, a devas tating hurricane swept over tho island?, d»stroying 3.500 houses in Manila, and kill ing 250 persons. Today we receive parti culars cf another cyclone which recemly visited the group and which is stated to bave rendered 60,000 people homeless, though happily it has b?en unattended with seiious lo;s of life. As the majority of tbe houHM in Manila are said to have been demolished by this storm, it is evident tbat tbe city proper is meant, and that the suburbs are not included, or the number of people rendered homeless wonld have been much more considerable. Most of the houses iv the town are of two stories in height, and many of them are constructed of elastic species of wood, so as to withstand eaith ?uake shocks; and it is doubtless these ighlly-framed structures which have suc cumbed to tbe fearful blast of the cyclone, while the stone buildingp.so ready to {all at the slightest convulsion of the eartb, ,vill hare been alone able to resist the fury of the storm. No doubt the Government of Spain, to which country the Philippine Islands are subject, will make protition to allay the widespread distress which the cyclone must haveoccasioped, and will render assistance in the rebuilding of the city. Manila is p. place of considerable commercial importance, having in 1874 an export trade of tbe value of £3,177,963, and in the city no fewer than 20,000 people-are employed in the manufacture of cigais alone-.

A letter has been received by the Mayor from the Colonial Secretary's office at Wel lington, intimating that in the opinion of the Government tho site applied for on the Hospital reserve for the purposes of a lock hospital is not suitable, both on account of its proximity to tha larger in stitution and its prominent position. The authorities at the Empire City consider that the lock hospital should bo si-uated near the gaol, so that the gaol and police officials should be able to excrci-o a supeivuion over it. A visit of inspection was accord ingly paid by the Mayor and a number of the Councillors yesterday to the debtors' prison, and two or three suggetted sites ou the gaol reserve. They were accompanied by the gaoler (Mr O'Brien), but nothing wasarraDged. Plans for the lock hospital are now in courae of preparation by the City Survsjor.

'l'he refrigerating apparatus, imported by Fibber and Company, is now being landed from the fliip A'hmore. It will be erected at the rear of the company's premises, under the direction ot Mr.Crawford, who is to manage this branch of the firm's busi ness.

It will be remembered that several weeka ago, the lessees of Corporation pro perty at the footof Shortland-street, (below the Post-office), in Queen-street and in Fort-street, proposed to the Council that their nearly expired leases should be re newed, on the condition that they should form themselves into a limited liability company, for the erection,ou these sites, of a block of Hhreestory buildings, which would be an ornament to tue city. The matter was referred to the Lfgal Committee for consideration, and after duly discussing the whole subject, thi3 bady now recommends the Council to pub licly offer the leases for Bale as foon as. practicable, the allotments to be subdivided into areas of 24 leet frontage each, the leases to run for 50 years, and three-story buildings of an approved style and charac- I ter to bo erected upon the sites withia 12 ] months from the commencement of j the lease. The news of this delermina tion will be very grateful sad acceptable to ' everyone at all interested iv tbe architec- ! tura! improvement of tbe city. For a long ' time past the string of anciecit and iiq painted little rookerie3 that extend from Sargood and Cos. warehouse, iound the corner to tbe Waverly Hotel, and then on the other side into Fort- ) street, has been an eyesore which j many have desired ,to see removed. I They have long survived their age, and i haye nothing whatever in common wi'li the i durable and ornate structures that now surround them. Their day his gone by for ever. " ..

The Mayor (Mr J. M. Clark) has received a letter from the Co'.onial Secretary (Hon. J, Dick), requesting him to call a meeting of per sods interested in the miuagcmcut ot the Hospital, in order to nominate a mjiuag ing committee to take charge o! it. The Government reserves to itself the right of appointing a certain number of the mem bers of tlr.s committee. Iv all probability His Worship will convene the meeting for some day next week.

The subject of the lecture last evening at All Saints'(jhurch, by tbe Key. John King Davis, M.fl,, was " r-t. P.iul a True Israel ite."

A young rain, William Henry Crossley, the son of a deceased clergyman, was brought up to-day at the Police Court, charged UHder the Vagrant Act with having no visible means. Ths cbargo, however, was brought chiefly for the purpose of de taining the young man in custody, printing certain police investigations in respect of graver charge* likely lo be brought against him. Cressley ha 3 b:en several times convicted at the Supreme Court, and since his liberation liom Mount Edcu has been employed as a cleik at the Karikara Mills Manukau, with every op. portunity of [leading an honest life. The old habit, .however, was strong upon him, and, by means of false representation!', be succeeded in obtaining from Mr Gnodsou, of the London Arcade, articles of jewellery amounting to £50. We learn that ths majority of.fhe articlcshave been recovered Several remarkable disclosures will possibly be made at the hearing of the charge, or charge?, against Crosiley.

In our last issue wo mentioned the fact that the Mayor and City Councillors, nc companicd by the Waterworks Kngincer ami the Town Clerk, had gono out to Mount Eden for tl/e purpose ot seeing what faci ities it oflers for the construction of a service reeervoir from which to supply water to the higher levels of the city. On the!r way out they stoppe-i to inspect the Kybsr Pass leservoir which, in default ol utilising Mount 7den, it is proposed either to heighten or enlarge. The visit to the mountain was simply one of Inspection, so as to enable Councillors, when the alterna tive schemes come before them, to dtscuss them on their mrrits. The proposal regard ing Mount Kdeo is to construct a service reservoir at the side of the crater, with a holding capacity ot eleven millions of gallons, enclce h with a fence, but leave it uncovered, the wat'r being pumped inlo it from the Kyber Pass reservoir by an engine placed at that station.

Several interesting improvements in Par iiell a'e particularly noticeable, and tho* that the benign spirit of advancement is not extinct in that sunny locality. Pamell Hall, which for several seasons has re sembled an old barn, bos been completely reporated and dedicated to the Sicied Nine. Mr Tomhnson, the proprietor of the Exchange, is_ pushing ahead with the new hotel, which will »honly bs completed, and as it occupies a central position, will no doubt recompense mine host in a very short lime for his liberal outlay. Mr Watt was the architect, and Mr Kay the contracting builder. The plans, uudtrthe Act, have been fully carried out. The new butcher's shop, in coomb of erection by Mr Kaynes, brick-built and substan tial, is nearly1' ready. Mr Martin, baker, has put in a handsome front window to hU shop of a very attractive character, Mr Biown, draper, who has recently started on his own account, is busy painting and decorating for the sweet spiing-timo, WDich is opening around us. The "Old Wiudsor Castle" occupies it* old site and has on aged and homely app°arance, clothed with an evergreen coat of ivy. Other im provements ate in progre«s, which feom like a promiseaf the "good time coming" if its people will only " wait a little longer."

The Homo Mission service at the New market Wesleyan Cnurcb, last evening, was not well attended. Mi J. L. Wilson presided, and, in his opening remarks, < x pressed regret that the church was not crowded, at it should have been on snch an occasion. He hoped the meeting would piovc not only a blessing to those present but a wide-spread blessing to tho whole world. The Key. Messrs Watkin and Oliver, Mr Buddie, and others addressed the meeting The la^t-named gentleman referred at great length to the progress of missionary work, and in course of his remarks staled that it was not yet 70 years since the gospel reached tb^se shores, and now they had large cities springing up, population in creasing on all sides, the earth subdued and the Christian Church growing in every direction, all by the blessing of missionary labour. The early misiioniiies in Kew Zealand had many trials and difficulties to contend with, and for the first ten yea's little good was done, but Chiisiianity had taken hold, asd the third ten years saw blessed work atuotig the natives. They had two European and seven native ministers amongst the nativps, three in the Scandinavian mis Moo, and twelve asents in the English Home Mis. ston. Their circuit was expected to raise £75, which, was less than one farthing a week each for the hearers in the various churches, EyruDs were sjng and prayer engaged ia before and after the meeting

There are now on view at Messrs Par tridge and Woollaojg'shop.Queen-streot, two bats and balls, which are intended for pie scntntiou to the highest batting scorer and best average bonier in each eleven of tho Auckland Cricket Clubs at tho end of Iho present season. A silver shield engraved by Mr Teutenberg has been mounted on each of the trophic.-.

The ninsler and new ot the ketch J'earl, which arrived tram ltarotonga this morn ing, have nut been liviig in very "high" style lately. Ton iltiya :i^o provisions ran our, Mid since that time tbe daily fare has ompriscdone biscuit and a liberal supply of oranges They are not at all sorry to have at last reached port. 'Iho trip has lasted !U days. About 50,000 oranges were tnken on board, but probably onetuird is now unlit for the market.

The Ashmore'n gig was considerably knocked out ot shape tbis morning. While the steamer Tongariro was towing the ketch f earl alongside of the outer tee of Qu en-street Whurf, the gig somehow be came jammed between her and one of tbe pile^. 'life result was that the side was knocked in, the stern-post was carried away, and other damage sustained by the small boat, .-betook iv a large quantity of water, and had to be constantly bailed while beiDK taken off to the ship.

During the last few days,Williauu'a new jacht Christine hus had several trials m the harbour, and at present she is a great favourite fo) the larger yacht race, which takes place at the North Shore Kegatta. In company with Mr Uloomlield'a new boat, which is also a dangerous rival, she is ex pected to run the Rita very close, notwith standing tho very fast sailing ability shown by that vessel last year. Iv tbis event wo have three boats—the Toroa, Christine, and Mr Uloomfield^s yacht, all built by Mr K. Logan, of North Shore, against tho Wiiionu, bffilt by Mr J. Wsymouth, and the Kita, from Mr U. Bailey's yard. The remit is awaited.with great iuterc.-t.

The directors of the Mahurangi Cement Company—Messs D, 13. Cruiekshank, U. Fallow, J. P. Kidd, T. Buddie, and Mel ville, left for Warknoith in theitose Ca»cy this morning to start the new works. The company purchased the old mill and ad jacent lands, from the Hon. F. Whitaker, and have fitted it up for the purpose of the new buniuois. The property abounds iv lirst-clast hjdraulic lime.whrch will be sent into the market iinineiiately, and the manufacture of cement will be bejjun at an early date.

The cutter race at the North Shore Re gatta is likely to find numerous competi tors, and ntyi-ral vissels aro already being put in condition for the cveut. Ttio Henry has betn provided with a. new mast and her sails aro in good order, having been got for the Auckland Kcjntta. The Janet will l>e furnished with new canvas, the Mahuraugi will have a new topsail, while the Eupheniia is considered in good order aud requiring no repairs.

MR BRYCE'S VISIT TO WAIKATO.

If'/iat the y(litres Think of it.

(11V TKMJOHAI'H. — SPUCIAIi COKHESPON-j DENT.) i ALKXA.NDKV, this day. , TuEtic are very few indications cither here or at Whatiwhatiboe to lead a visitor to believe that anything of an extraordinary nature, sucli as a new phase in the uative policy of the Government or a concession of suniß great importance to the colony, was about to be made by the natives ; indeed, I have heard Mr Joyce's visit to Wbatiwhatihoo and the opening of the new bridge more taJkid of, and the good which was likely to accrue therefrom, mure de bated in other Waikato townships than here. Alexandra retains its usual quier, ami as to the natives, almost everyone met to-day earnestly enquired, "When is Mr nryce coming." Visit to JF/mtiwJmU7ioe. I visited the settlement ttiis afternoon, and, with a tew exceptions, it is tho Wimtiwhatihoe of live months ago. The bridge being now open for traffic, contrasts very favourably will the cuioe which afforded the only moans of communi cation between the native and European , townships during the May meeting. A large number ol new wbaics have bfen erected, and there is not now a single teut on the ground, A cjnsidorable area of ground on the flat hai been ploughed and laid down ie potatoes and melon*, and tlierc being fewer pigs and dogs ab iut the place, ami the ground in the vicinity of the settlement bting • lesn bagsjy, and this foul material from which obnoxious g.ises were wont to rise during the May meeting boing le9n abundant since the numerous visitors and tribes departed, a depree of happiness and pleasantness per vades the scene.

Tnrough the modiutn of a friend who ac companied me, I interrogated many of those from whom I wai likely to hear what was going on, but tho more I interrogated the more igno:auce I elided. No one seemed to know auyihiog be>ond the fact that Mr llryce was coining, but as regards what Mr Bryco was going to do (beyond giving them a i;ood ppree and some koreio), or what Tawhiao w»b likely to ask for. they seemed to know nothing When I reached Tawhiao's domicile 1 learned from his spous<j, Pohaoie, that ha was msLep, so I did not venture to awake him.

Faith in Air Bryce's Liberality.

There is no preparation whatever being made for the Ministerial visit in the wsf of preparing for a fea»t, but os regards this, I have beeu informed that the Uovernment is expected to spend £150 iii providing a feast and other requigiies for the occasion. No reliaulo basil whatever is given forthia liberal expectation beyond the rumour that the sum was vuted last session lor the pur pose mentioned. The natives are not aware wbat Mr Bryce's programme will be, nor can they speak ,for Tawhiao.who, if he does know anything, it very reticent. One r. quest, I believe, Tawhiao is likely to make, and that is that he will ask the'Go verumcut to pay the dei.t of £21 incuired by him for liquor at the driving of the first pile of the bridge.

Probable Hesults of the Meeting.

Ab regards tUn opening of the cou»try, I am informed that t :e natives generally *reiu favour of leasing, but will not sell. Hut I have overy reason to believe that sale will soon "follow, for some) natives are suid to have received advance* already on the inteiest, As regards Tawhiao allowing the road to go through tho country towards Tnranaki or Kawhia, he has oppressed himself on several occasions in a m inner indicative of wiilingnose. From what I hear I feel assured in thinking thut Tuwkiao'n line of action will entirely depend on Jlr Bryco's propo.ah, and tbat his mind ia at prtsent unsettled. Meeting of Chiefs. There wus a meeting of chiefs and others in the big runaiuga house to-day, but I coulif not ascertain what it wtut about. It npj/Oar<) that Mr BrjCii wanted Tawkiao to send him an invitation, wtich the latter would net uceed* to, and Tuwliiao iii wiring to Mr Brycu niCfdy io quired when ho was comiok to Wh»tiwhnti hoe. In a telegram to 'J'awhiuo 10-day, M^r licyco said he would be there by special tiain on Ftiday, Tawkiao i» txpcoied to meet Mr lt-yco at Alexandra after his ar rival, and the following day iMh will drive across the bridge. The meeting is expected to last foil' or nve weeks, when the native* aro deairoua everything between both races should be lina'ly leiticd

Visitors Expected.

A number of natives from the interior have anived, atd Mr Whitaker and L>t. Buller are expeced to attend the ceremony, Mr Dufnur is also expected. Air Butler, Mr Bryce's secretary, left for Aockland : this morning, and Mr Wilkinson, the Gov erniiicnt ngent, is also in <~nd, 'j he Search for Gold As regards t*e discovery nl gold near Raogitoto, about wuich eg much has been heard lately, there is a gentleman at pre sent knocking about the settlement whose name, or from whence ho ome, his not ai yet been made knowD. I inquired after , him in tho settlement to-day, and found he hud applied to Tawaiao for ptrmirsion to prospect the country. Tawhuo hud told him that owing to the press of business attending Mr Bryce's viait he could not luar him on tho matter at pre sent, and so he wus trying his luck with To Wheoro. 1 Baw his letter of introduc tion fiom Sir George Grey to Jawhlno, of which the following is tho translation: —

" Wilimgtou. Jnne 20th,

"To Tawhiao,—

" A stranger eocs amongst you wishing to find gold in the middle of your laid. He is a man of great knowledge in thtse mutter*), and if tho King will let him go inta the interior he will be able to tell by the indications and appear ances of the country whether gold exis's or not. If there is, he will write a map of the country. This man ia not wish ing to cet the gold for himself. He only wishes to see where it is,-(Signed) GEmoE Gk»y."

_ I cannot say that thit is a literal transla tion. The gold-sacker referred to is named Nichoils, but I cannot say from whence he ctme.

MINING.

We make extracts from managers' reports ti hand this morning, as follows : —

Dekp Lkvec Tribcte.— The reef at 500 feet level has been very hard, but is now gcttlbg into coffer country, andit expected to improvo as driven on, So far as cvi be asccrttined, tho south drive is jo good order j there is a pood deal of cediment in the dme, but it will not take long to work out.

It U abaut 2ft thick, with colours of gold distributed through it. Sixty pound* of sptclmen* have come to hand timing tbe week. Wlun a eonnectiou is made with No. 4 level it is expected a payab.e block of ground will be upened up. Success.—News from this mine is still encouraging. The manager telegraphed laat evening : —"About 201 bs specimens to niijbt, some very rich.-Peter Reid." A portion of tbe specimens recently obtained were ou view in Mr Frater's window to day. The etono appear very valuable, showing gold freely throughout. Pinafore —Mr R. M.

AUCKLAND AND THAMES SHOOTING REPRESENTA TIVES.

The marksmen selected to uphold the pies tige of the Auckland and Thames Volun teers, at the forthcoming meeting of the Hew Zealand Kitle Association at Dunedtn, left for the fcouth by the g.s. Arawata at noon to-day. A large Dumber of iheir friends and p r.-ons interested iv volunteer matter* saw the men off and wished tbem a pleasant journey and "good luck." The Thames team is a good representative one,and is probably thsstroDgestcombinatlonofcarbioeiihootiats that has yet kit the North to take part in the annual competitions of the New Zea land Bine Association. Amongst them are Lieutenant Goidon, who won the Carbine Champion Belt in 1879, and Is the present champioß ; Petty Officer A. Thomas, the carbine champion of 1880, and Seamen Weir, CameroD, Floyd, Brownlee, and Gill, all of whom have previously represented their District, right wortbiiy. Weir and Brown lee were members of the ThamesjScottuh Battalion umil that fine corps was dis solved, and are consequently novioes in the uso of the snorter weapon. Cliuio, Davies, and White are jonng, but very promising, shots, and amongst the ten men theie is not a single "duffer." Judging from recent form, .Petty-Officer Thomas is probably the best man in the team, and after him comes Lieut. Gordon. Should the latter succeed in winning the belt this year, it becomes his own property. In arecentmatchbetween the teams of 10 men eacb, selected from the several Naval B igsdes of the colony, lhe Thames Blue Jackets canie off victorious In tbis mitch tbc total score of Goldfield team averaged 76 points per man. Thameß made the grand tcoreof S9-seren shots at 200,400, and 500 yards. We believe tbis has only been once beaten, Dixon, of Wellington, at the last Nelson meeting making 91 points at the same distances. Thomas, Weir, Floyd, Cameron, Uill, and Brownlee re ceived £10 each towards their expense* from the Brigade; the other representatives go at their own cost. The Thames Rifle Rangers are represented byVolunteerlnglis. He is the only rifle representative Bent trom the Thames this year, lhe Auckland Men, Victobia Company.— This corps sends six representatives, viz.,' Lieutenant Skinner, Corporals K. Cooper and Koee, Sergeants Haslett and Taylor, and Volun teer Handley. Lieutennant Skinner is a well-known shot, thoroughly reliable when in practice. He won the champion belt ol tbe colony, after a bard struggle, at the Thames meeting some years ago. He is the holder of a number of cups, stars, medal*, and other trophies, won at local rifle competitions. Corporals Y. Cooper' and W. Rose have been south several times, but Sergeant Bnglett only went down once prior to the present trip. They are all winners of money prizes at the association meetings, and Cooper ran hard for the belt last year, but missed it at the last range. All these are good shots, and, in fact, almost unrivalled in Auckland. S=rgeanfl aj lor and Volunteer tiaudley havo never been south before. Taylor bears the Reputation of beiog one of the best shots in Auckland, although he has not come to the front lately. Handley has never yet distinguished himself as a shootist

No. 3. CO—Representatives : Sergeant Hay, Sergeant James, and Mr Cameron. Sergeant Hay is a very old representative from Auckland anda thorooghlygood sound shot. He has carried eff many honour*, the last in Auckland gtneral competition being the gold medal ;pnsented by the Auckland Kifle Association. Volunteer Cameron had been south odco before, but did nothing ;s he is not a [notable shot among iuu Auckland Volunteers. S-orgoant James is a new shot, this being his first venture from Auckland ; he dots not occupy a very pro minent niche amongst Auckland shoo'ists.

Engineer Company.—Corp. Allen and Gunoer Woolley, who represent this corps, have both been south bcfoie, and have shot very fairly. Woolley has won cm sidfrable money prix»g here and at NeJsoo.

Artillery Battery. — Parslow and Webster were both lending Thames shots, and have run closely for the belt several times. 1 he farmer has won the district belt more than ouce, and after Gordon and Armstrong, he was considered the best all round shot in the Thames IN aval B:i(.ade, Youna Trayes is a recent " Bhot," untried except on the Auckland Kange, *here, amor g>t mixed .competitors, he has cot shown to any great advantage. The Naval Brigabe sends no repre sentative, and appsd-s quito content to yield up the lairds won for it in past years by Seaman Mcl, can and others. Auckland will be at a disadvantage in point t>f numbers, having only twelve representa tive.», while Wellington has fifty.oue, Wungmui twemy-six, and JJunediu aore than either. - Captain Mahon, of toe Vic toria Company, accompanied the Aucklatd men, on pleasure bent.
