BANQUET TO SIR JULIUS VOGEL.

[MY TEIt-ORAvn.— PftlKS ASSOCIATION.) | DUWBDIN, Wednesday. Tim banquet to Sir Juliua Vrgel was held in the Garrison Hall to-nigh', 275 gen- le mon being present. The Mayor of Dunedin (Mr J. Bk Thomson) presided, supported on hiß right by the guest of the evening, and Iby the Hon. Mr Larnach and Captain Fraser, and on the left by Mr Marandrew, 1 and Mr H. It. Wilson, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. Amongst those present were the H<>ns. W. H. Reynolds and McLcaD, and Messrs fi-h and Green, Apologies were rccei.cd from Mcsers Justice WiUiams (absent at lnvc:cargill), and Batbgate, M H.R. * Mr Mactwdrewj who proposed the toast of the evening, was received with pro prolonged cheering. Be said that when the leccptio - committee did him the honour of asking hira to propose the toast of the evening, it was understood to be in no sense a party gathering, notwithstand ing the fact that their dlningnishcd guest occupied a prominent position in the very front ranks of their colonial politician*; and they met now—Centralists and Ann centralists, Conservatives and Reformers, Radicals, and men of various opinions - agreeing to bury the hatchet tor the time being, for the purpose of paying a tribute of •respect to Sir Juliua Vogel, (Oncers.) They all knew tbat Sir Julius was a roan who was found, not in the rear, but alwaya iv tho van of politics, Without such men the world would bave stood still, 01 would have moved very slowly. The ob ject of his present visit to tho Australian Colonies was in Connection with a power which was destined to change the whole nature of things at no distant date. Although politics were not to be intro dnced, Sir Julius Vogel's public career in New Zealand had been such that all pre sent would unite in wishing him a most cordial and hearty welcome to the coramer cial metropolis of the co'ony. (C_e-r?.] The object of the demonstration was thai the public might show their deep senss and high apprec;ation of the many valuable ser. vices rendered by their guest to New Zca> land, and to express theft: admiration of h: s great talen's and ability as a statesman, He might have been said to h .ye matrix lated in Otago, and, therefore, Otago was entitled to regard hira as one of her tons, and" should rejoice at any distinction h. may have acquired sinco he had gone away fromhesc some thirteen years ago. (k\p plause.) " Sir Julius Vogcl, who was received with tumultuous cheering, said he felt that he had not words to do justice to his feelingf on this occasion. He had never felt a com. pliment so greatly as he now did, wher coming here so long after his arrival ir I Australia, §o unexpected ly, and having sc thoit a time to remain, he had been re. ceived by such a splendid gathering, an. he was unable to do justice to his owe feelings, If anything teaded to his gratifi. cation it was the fact that his health had 1 been proposed by one with whom he had been so long allied politically. Mr Mao andrew had said that Otago might look upon him as having'been educated in it. school of politics; hut he might have also added that a great deal of that education was obtained during the time he was one ol his (MrMacandrew's) responsible advisers. Ai y distinction he had been able to gai", was owing to the political education he first gathered in this province, .in this city. (Hear, hear.) He was informed, at an early date, and Mr Macandiew had reminded him of the fact, that this was not a political, it was not a parly gathering. It was urn necessary to remind him of that, bceauje ho could not but think that, after his long ab sence, were he to come back and presume to advise those who were so much b .ttci acquainted with the existing position oi politics tban b# was, he should be guilty of great presumption. In referring to the public works policy, Sir Julius said that the system of railway communication was forced on by the expression of public opinion. Although be was allowed to bring forward the pioptsals of the then Govern mewf, it must not be supposed tbat he waa iuanysenso or form the fouoder of rail way., or of the railway policy. In various patts, of the colony there had previously been attempts to establish railway com munication. In proof of this he could point to at least four provinces. To take Auck land fiist, a line was formod there, and grass was absolutely allowed to grow over the road before the line was completed. Then in Canterbury, a line to the port had been formed, aad in connection with the tunnel there would be connected, with nn dying fame, the name of an old friend,; whose loss he very much regretted—Win..' Sefion Moorhouse. Going to Southland, they know tbat railways were constructed theic—railways which were looked upon at the time as being formed with a most reck less disregard for financial considerations. Writing for the press at the time, he ridi culed the idea of railways being formed in the southern part of this island. Then as regarded this province, Mr Macandrew's Government had offered the greatest facili ties to any capitalists for forming a line to Tokomairiro, and subsequently the line to Port Chalmers was constructed. With regard to the first railway proposals made, it was true they were widely changed in character. At first there was not a landed estate put on one side, the proceeds of which, as the line came down, would have, to a very great extent, covered the cost of the lino. Seeing the large incrcasa in the value of land affected from the railway policy, he was inclined to think that, if this proposal had been carried out, we would scarcely by this time have had any public debt. Another matter of prin ciple, from which there has been a depar ture, was in regard to having a trunk.line through each island. Parliament in all its wisdom thought the better course would bo to decide the Hoes to b_ con structed. Asa consequence, tbe[trunk line system was not adhered to, and he was not able to say whether the departure- on that point had neon for tbe benclit or not of the colony. At tho samo timo he respected the opinion tbat there ought to be a trunk line through each island, nod he was delighted to observo, as ho had observed sinco ho had been in the colony, that there was a deter mination to construct a line between tha East and West Coas a of the island. With regard to immigration, he had been told that ifle working classes objected to immigration, but speakiog from old recol -- ctions ho had found tho working men in this colony were tufficien .ly intelligent, and if the question was properly placed be fore them, and it was explained that while immigration would bring more competition into the labour market, it would also bring at the same time a larger demand for labour with it, when opposition would cease. He alluded to the Land Transfer Act, Governmei t insurance, and the inscription of stock, and concluded by regretting the shortness of his present stay. Whether he was present or whether he was absent, he would remain iv kindly recollection of the colonists. (Prolonged applause.) A number, of other toasts were drunk.

THE MINING DISASTER IN VICTORIA.

Storg of a Dreadful imprison ment.

[I'ER S.S. WAKATIPU AT WELLINGTON.] Melbourne, December 14. The disaster at the Australasian mine, Creswick, has caused the greatest sensa tion. All Wednesday the fate of the un fortunate miners.remained undecided. On Thursday the mine was so far freed from foul air that the men could work below, At s'x p.m, c pitman named Clark was hoisted to the surface, and shouted as he neared *he mouth " They are are right." Wild, joyous, and exul tant -cheers followed, men jumped fran tically about, hugging and kissing each other for joy. The intense excitement spread like wildfire to Creswick, where the people cheered lustily. In a little more than half an hour, the first of the survivors was brought up, amiast loud shouts of thanksgiving. The man was deadly pale, and apparently unconscious. It was found that he suffered chiefly from lack of nourishment. The tank was again lowered, and another man brought up, apparently more weak. Five men were thus brought up, more dead than alive. Then came a long pause, and when the manager of the mine and two others came up, it was then learned that tho remaining 22 men were all dead. Sudden wails of anguish, shrill and piercing, startled the ear. The men had, one after the other, taken cramp and perished. The bereaved widows and rela tons of the unfortunate men became almost wild with grief. One of the survivors gives a graphic account of the sufferings jof the men. They were without I %ktS| and he heard hii companions drop ! off the face into the water. They spoke of i their wives and little ones, and they said L some prayers and sang some hymns. Tho air was terrible, but it improved as the men died. It was very hot, and they could not driuk the water. They heard the men at . work, but could not answer back; The men were of good cheer, aud the narrator says be was sure they thought they would j be rescued,

CHURCH BAZAARS.

(To the Editor.) , Sic.-Do you remember having read .."'. story in an old book (ever new) bl a. bazaar that was held about eighteen IH hundred years ago ? I do; and how that it:: was held in a churcb, and how those-thaty kept stalls and sold doves ana other thing", m innocent enough in themselves, together | with money cuangers .and. other extor tioners, met with a great disaster: and:B had physical demonstration of tbeii'ab- : : : : hoireDce and power of right over wrong. 7 How that the seats ot those who'eoid f ; doves were overthrown, and the tables of *-, tho money changers were immediately overturned, and themselves flying oIH being whipped out of the place. Sir, tbJtS must have been a giaud scene (right;, triumphing over wrong for once), what a piby ture for the artist to put on canvas, and I for us all to photograph and hang np yin ~; our mental and moral, p'cture gallery to I look upon aud do us good. And,1 do youi l remember also, like a grand pealing ebulli tion of Divine wrath, like the -.belching of ■ of a mighty volcano, the declamation— I "Mfy house shall be called of all nations the ■ Houss of Prayer, out ye have made 'it's ■ den of thieves " I will leave to your read- i cis axy points of likeness between that ; ancient bazaar and these we are nowbav- I ing in our modern times. "We do hot have | the bazaar in the church, but we bave the I church in the bazaar, which is just about I as desecrating. We do not trade*'and i make money for our individoal pocket, . but we make it for our collective pocket. _ The young ladies behind the stalls in our bazaars do not altogether steal or!robus by physical force, but who will say they do not use social force, moral suasion,ll _nd rt other cajoling forco to induce us to bay ■ what we do not want, and extort a pries not always proportionate to its value. I*, it not patntul to see them practisingall the arts of the barmaid so as to be able to i make a success of tbe undertaking.;': Alas I " c xpediency advises, expediency commands, expediency rules, and at last bitethlikea serpent,—l am, &c, . i .

BLIND BUILDERS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Your issue of the 19th instant, con taining a list ef tenders sent in to Mr T,B.- White, architect, for the erection of thi Foresters' Hall,is certainly a great curiosity, and is worthy of being pondered over, hot only by those connected with the building trade, but also by the general public. As one of tho latter, I read it with no little surprise, and was induced to ascertain what the difference was between the highest and lowest tender. It amounted to only the modest sum of £1,288, sometbingabout 22J per cent, below" the highest, or ths same amount abovo the lower t tenaerj After some little thinking over the matter,'! arrived at the conclusion that those men must be very blind builders and ignorant of the value of the work required to be per formed, and the sooner tbey rea'i-io sufficient, capital to become good and efficient journey men, the better it would be for all parties. I suppose that some, if not the whole ot tho names contained iv this list are members ot the Auckland Builders' Association, which body has taken upon itself of late to com pile a set of general conditions, to whicn compliance is required on pMn.vo' n,°* tendering ia the office of any architect who refuses to accept them. If tneso conditions are Xt aU in keeping with the knowledge and wisdom displayed in this list ot ten-, dere, then I say to those practising .as. architects, be firm and quit yourselves like. men, and strive earnestly to do right, ooin to proprietors and contractors. > OLD HUMPHREY.
