ALARMING RAILWAY ACCI DENT.

Narrow Escape of a Train.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWrt CO_EEBPO>T_3-tT.)

DUNEDIN, Sunday. A railway accident occurred near Blue skin, übout 17 miles from Dunedin, on Sun day night, 'Ihe 4,45 train from town to Oamam had reached the bottom of the in- 1 cline, within a quarter of a mile of Blueskiu station, when the engine ran off the line. This was just before reaching Waitati Bridge, and between the embankment. The engine immediately struck one side of the embankment, and turned on its side, being very seriously damaged. Tbe goods van, next to the engine, is broken to pieces. There were five passenger carriages, containing probably 80 passengers. The carriages are all badly wrecked. But the principal accidents to life or limb are. three, namely, a passenger named Guy, employed in the J. unedingoods shed, badly cut on the temple, and now in the Dunedin Hospital, but it is not thought that he is dangerously huit; a woman cut about the head through being propelled throngh one of the carriage windows ; and a man somewhat severely hurt about the legs. Dr. Mansell went in a specisl train from Dunedin to attend the injured. The express passengers were transferred, and got into Dunedin about 10 o'clock. The passengers by the wrecked train were all sent on.

The escape of the train wa» miraculous, Fifteen yards further and the train would have gone over tbe Waitati Bridge, when probably the most serious railway acci dent that has ever occurred in the colony would have had to be chro nicled. The fengine-driver and fireman jumped off, and escaped almost unbnrt, Why the eogine left the rails is quite un known. It is possible that some of the engine gear broke and got beneath tbe wheels, or the line may have been damaged at tbe spot, or something may have got across the line. Doubtless, a departmental enquiry will be held. The passengers de scribe the affair as having been over in a moment. There was a jerk as the engine left the roils, and another as it struck tbe bank, Alter that, all was confusion, and everybody was thrown off their seats and against each other. The express luggage has not yet reached Dunedin, Specials wets run last night for the passengers, and another was out this afternoon.

MINING NEWS.

(From the " Cobomahdel Mail.")

Kapanga. — Operations from the low level are now in full swing, and in come buence of the detp sinking having increased the water, the coal consumption has in. creased double to what it was iast year, aud now averages over 120 tons per month, and is still increasing. The heavy cartage motion by shipping this coal renders It necessary that some substantial improve ment Ishould be effected to the main road, which from King's Bridge is narrow, and cut into deep ruts. During a portion of last winter this company bad to pay double for coal carriage on account of the dreadful condition of the read. It is to be hoped that during the comiig summer the Council will be in a position to widen, and perma nently improve the road to this most im portant mine.

Success.—Good gold was seen in stone broken out during the week, which gives saiisfactoiy assurance for the future,

10.iA.--Good progress is being made with this con'ract, as might have been expected, considering the able hands who undertook it, _ The entire work will probably be finished three weeks before the expiration of contract time.

; Just-in-lime. The manager reported .2_lbs. picked stone on Saturday last, since which good crushing siuffhas been obtained. The staff of men is divided among several works for a time, until the baetery, tiamway, &c, are completed, after which all hands will be engaged turning out _ua'tz to keep the stampers going.

Perseverance.—The crushing of 180 tons of gene.al stuff was completed last Thursday for the yield of 75 ounces of gold, the result proving a great disappointment. Blackmore.—Crushing started at the beginning of the week. There was a fair show of gold in the stone last broken down.

Tiernan.—Steady work has been carried on t without spything special coming to hand. Tho mine continues to look well.

Matawal— A number of persons have recently visited Vaughan and Vizard's claim, and are unanimous in expressing favourable opinions of the same.

Vizard's Castle Hock. — Vizard has proved the claim to bs payable; the ground has been opened up ready for stoping, and there is about 30 tons of quartz in the pad. dock waiting transmission to the battery,

Paul's Creek Prospecting Associa tio «,—Operations on the reef have bten discontinued as the manager considered it Uuadvisable to spend any more time on it, and is now devoting his attention to pros pecting over the district.

Colonial,—Forty feet has been driven for the month on a fine reef highly mine ralised, and thougkthe precious metal ha. not been seen it may make any moment. Plumbago Company.—"Work on this mine commenced this week. The bed of the creek is being lowered to allow of the plumbago being prospected at a greater depth. Union Beach.—A proposal is being con sider., d to start works of a permanent character, which, if carried out, will make the venture a sound and popular one. Homeward Bound.—lt is gratifying to see works resumed -Dn this valuable pro perty As most of the dead work is now complete, shareholders have a prospect of a flourishing summer. On Thursday the workmen holed through from the main level to the winze. It was not thought that the face of the level was far enough advanced to cut the winze, and stoping operations will contequently be carried ou earlier than anticipated, while the main drive can now bo continued with the lode in hand.

Correspondence.

T. Hodgson-.

THE REV. T. HODGSON AND MR CASS.

(To the Editor.)

Sib.—l anticipated that my treatment of Ml Cass would pain him, a-d I felt sorry to have U do it, but had the conviction th-t something should be done to snub the Goll-h like bonnet ing, to whloh we nave bten bo liberally treated ot late. If, therefore, I have s-ld anything t_ startle our worthy friend into the realisation that it is possible for him to be more respectful in his treatment of people, about whose motives for declining dlacossloo with him he can have no definite knowledge, I shall not regret it, A glance at the tone of his Insertions ought to convince him that he provoked and merited what he got. But why should he complain? Having enjoyed the luxury of seeing Mr Cook Ore his green peas at his -damantlne wall.lt was hardly soldierlike to complain because I shot eomethlng heavier over is. Why also should he feel so keenly the Ices of a mere let ter of his name, after sheniing away the top ot my being, cutting off the tall of my just so, and challenging me to publlo combat, all of whloh are very shocking things to do! Moreover when a peison succeeds In getting rid of the faots of seir-conFclou»ness, and rea sons himself into the belief that he Is nothing more than a piece ot pn-e materialism, what insult can it be to call him either a monkey, a neddy, or a man? Mr -ear fellow, the tone of, Saturday"! letter v a most tnoin-tstenr, rider to place on the buck of your polemical hobby horse. Whr sh ul_ a materialist winoetu-_e_ treatment which an Kdw-rd would wink at I WolLnow.do j ou know that letter of mina waa just a ll<bt metaphorical box on Ihe ear, given br no unfriendly hand, and with the most benevolent Intention, The purpose being so gracious you ought you know, m a first-rata Christian, to tnrn the other also. Yon won'c da it again—then I forgive you. "lam jealous of r_y f all hODonra;" well and is it not natural to be when you deprive me of ny natural plao. amongst the lmmortaliu One must cling to' something with at least some semblance of ac knowledged _ld.lt- about it. By the way, what value do you think I place upon that Rev. I snail I tell you I Really less tban would buy your shortest youngster a nightcap I Well, now, in all seriousness lot mo say in re sponse to that challenge,that when a man with a pair of eyes in his head reiterates the state ment of his blindness, and challenges every man he meets to prove the contrary, it is not other than a waste of time to attempt the dis proof. If you have no consciousness of the existence of a soul, you may well charge me with Inability to prove to you that you have one. I frankly acknowledge such inability, but it is the inability of tho botanist to describe the structure and beauty of a plant to a man with out eyes. Moreover, I cannot, out of respect for you, und-rtake to establish you in the belief that you are not a man. I must leave that with yourself. If, however, you could only, see it, tho very desire to discuss this matter is a prac tical surrender of the whole question.—l am, tc,

AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY.

(New Zealand Times, September, 18S1J

The New Zealand branch cf this important Life Institution has just completed the tenth year ot its establishment in this colony, and the .resent Is an opnortnno time to indulge tha New Zealand members of tho society with a brief notice ottbesuccise which has attended the hrsnoh since it opened in Wellington on the Ist Julr, 1871.

When, the branch was established. It com m.need with a bnriness consisting of 1015 policies, assuring £196 890. nnd en annual premium revenue of -17,190. Dnring the neriod often yesrs just closed, the branch has Issued 11,121 tolcies. assuring £3,659,939. and producing an annual revenue ot £121, SSble 6a. This large amount of business has been ob tained in face ol an opposition which may be termed the strongest that any private office has ever had to contend with—viz., the Government of tne colony, whose Life Assurance Depart ment has boen pnshed in a manner without precedent.

It has been the desire on the part of the management of this Isoolely to ie entity it as much as possible with this colony and assist in developing Its resourcos. With this end in view, &U the surplus branch accumiAations arc in vested in the colony In advances on mortgage of first-class frecholo securities, loans to memberj Oa the seourlty ot their polleleß. Government debentures, and freehold branch office prem'ses, Tha br inch has an annual revesue exceeding -117,000, and the society! hos ore:- £160 003 of its accumulations invested in New Zealand securities, so that It oan wlthoot doubt be termed quite as muob a New Zealand aa an Anstrtlian institution, seeing that none of the «tonc_ received in the colony is sent out of it. From tbe report of tbe prcoredlngs at the last annual meeting cf the society, held in Sydney in April last, it may be gathered that its mem bers have a magnificent prospect before them, for it was there aeserted, en the word oi tho society _ aotuary, Mr M, _.. Black, that iho sooletv Is "approximately making a profit at the rate of £20O.Ct>0 a year;" and its Chairman. tCie Hon. Professor Smith, announced that "if the foclety were stopped at the end of the ourrer.t quinquenalnm, there would be about a million surplus" This means that there will probably be a cash Burploaof one mi__ion sterling to be divided omoD.Bt, the fortunate policy-holders In this sooietr after the close of tbe year 18>3. such a distribution wiihin a period of five yesrs. If re alised will mark an rpoch In the hittory ol colonial Life Assurance, and be wlthont par ■Si in ,he h,stcry of Brltlth Ufa Assurance. Tnece few remarks may bs o'osed by congrttu. l&_r.r the New Zealand Branch of the Austral lan Mutual Provident Society on its p.st pros perity, and hoping that its future may be remedy Prosperous: end that this c-ra.d irstitntion may long co.tlnne to extend lte noble objects throughout tho length and breadth of Ibis fair land.

' The object* ot the Auckland Native Lands Colonisation Company ILlmitod) are the acqul | tition end Bsulenient of Native Lands in the North laland of New Zealand.npon terms which i win be to tha mutual advantage of the Native j Owners, of the Sh-reholdera la thia Company, s and of the Colony in gpneral. I In order to carrF out this obieot it is pro posed— lßt.—To acquiro Interc-Bts In land In Buch way an tho natives may prefer, either by purchase, by leasa, or by aotlng as their agents on such terms as may be agreed upon. . 2nd.—To pay for such Interests acquired _t the option of tho native owners, elttier caab, p_ld-np Bh-res, or debentures for the whole or any part thereof, as cir cumstances and mutual advantage may dictate. Srd.-To allow the native owners who takn np paid up Bbarc3 intercut at the rate of 5 per cent, upon the amount of the paid up shares in exoesa of the amount paid ' up ou contributing shares. 4th.—To lgßue to any native owner declining to take cash or paid up shares deben tures of stipulated amounts, bearing' in terest at S per cent. sth.—The capital required to carry on neces sary operations of the Company to be provided by Cobnlal and European shareholders, and snob, oapltal shall be employed in defraying expenses of maaagement.completlng titles, effecting Burveya and subdivisions into faims and township lots, oponlng means of access, conducting the sale and leasing ot lands, promoting the formation of special set tlements, and generally In utilising the lands vested In the company to the best advantage. Bth.—To set apart and legally secure ade quate and Inalienable reserves for the benefit of the native owners. 7th.-To convey to the Government an agreed percentage ot land as required for public -works., and other purposes, at a figure slightly in advance of cost price. Bth.—To Induoeo native owners to become large shareholders, to Bottle permanently upon lands, the titles to which have been Individualised, and to be repre sented on the directorate. It la a well known fact that the profits arising (rem the purchase and sale of native lands In the North leland are enormcui, and it is equally well known that suoh profits have np to the present time been confined to the capitalist alone; because of the many obstructions arising from tbe laws rtl-ting to native lands, and to tbe large expenditure of money required for purchasing the same, The Auckland Native Lands Colonisation Com pany (Limited) presents to small Investors ad vantages Identical with, and In excess ot those enjoyed at present only by capitalists, the shares having been fixed so low that men of small means may be placed on the same footing: as tbe o.pitalist. No more fitting opoortunlty than the present could be Beized for the purpose of att-ini-g the objects aimed at by this company, because ;— Ist.—The quantity of fertile Crown Lands in the North Island at tbe present time available for Battlement is Insufficient to meet the demand. 2nd.—The Government have .eased opera tions in purchasing native lands. 3rd.—Tho natives owning land In the King country are almost unanlmons In their desire to bring their valuable lands under tbe operation of the Land Court, and dispose ot them to Europeans. 4th.—lt is confidently anticipated that the Government will favour the establish ment of this Comptny, which will go far to relieve them from all anxiety about providing for the future wants of the natives. This Company will place all land acquired under " The Lands Transfer Aot," so that the title will be Indefensible, and it will then ba able to dispose of the same at grei.l advan tage. The land will be sold for cash, or on deferred payments, or dlspoted of in the manner most conducive to the Interests of shareholder?. Under thrso olrccmxt—.cep, It Is believed that tho establishment of the A nek land Native Lands Colonisation Company (Limited) will provide for the natives the readiest and most beneficial method of placing their lands for Bale, lease, or aetil.inent. The ever-increasing demand for lands!
