More Frozen Meat Bhv>s,

The Mataura, which brought home the last and most successful consignment ot frozen meat from New Zealand, has been fitted to carry twice the quantity, and starts for Auckland with a full general cargo in a few days. The Opawa, tor Canterbury, has also undergone preparations to receive an unusually large number of carcases, and the return of these vessels will be anxiously looked for. Trade to the Colony grows daily more active. The Matauta is already shutting out good*, in fact there seems to be any amount of room for ships on the Auckland berth. Passeoger tratße too continues brisk. Captain Ashby tells me there are'no steerage betths to be had on Orient lines till tne middle of December, and even salooa travelers are unusually numerous. The Union company's Heiv Boat. The TTnion Company's new s.s. Ta-awera leaves Glasgow for Melbourne, Lucedin, Lyttelton, Wellington, and Auckland direct on the 7th of December. A laige number of pasaeneers are already booked, and as no steerage wi!l be takon a very pleasant voyage is anticipated, The Tarawera (as I mentioned a mail or so ago) h 2,000 tons burtben, and 300 horse-power nominal (2,000 effective.) She has been fitted with all the latest Improvements and should prove a welcome addition to the Union Company's fleet. dtrs Lanytry. It is now, I learn, a positlve.certainty, in so far as anyone can numunly speak, that the famous Jersey Lily, who ia at present earning such fabulous sums of money in America, will go on from San Francisco to Australia and New Zealand.

Immediately after the arrival of the last San Francisco ina'l from New Zealand, there appeared in one of the lesser week lies a most nnuuinjj letter on the subject ot the so-called " Maori Mission," about which there was such an absurd fins not long ago. The writer says he is sure the numerous notabilities who entertained Sydney Taiwbanga will be glad to learn what manner of man the Maori is. Be therefore begs to append to his communica tion an extract from the letter of an Auck land friend, in which some of the pleasing traits of Sydney's varied character, together with bis moat celebrated exploits, are faith fully described. What these traits and ex ploits are, I don't think I need repeat to many readers of the Star, Let it suffice to say the epistle has created a profound sensation in London society, and those who were fore most in vicing with one another to entertain the natives are now bitter in their invectives against Mr Ckesson and the Aborigines Protection Society. Xbe argu ment seems to be that the latter should have ascertained the precise status of the Maoris before bringing them out. The beauty of it all, however, ia that the society did know a great part of the truth, and, despite the fact, still persisted in making the " chiefs " notorious. My belief is it suited Chesson and Co. to take up the men. Unless charities, like the Aborigines Pro tection Society, come before tho public pretty frequently, people won't support them. It doesn't much matter v:hom the society take up so long as they take up somebody, and honafiae aristocrat) amongst aborigines, whether Maoris, Kaffirs, or residents of Timbuctoo, are not to be met with every day, even in London. /shippers and the Colony. The nature of my professional duties in London naturally brings me pretty fre quently into contact with the leading colonial merchant? and shippers, and I have been suprked to notice that though mo3t of these gentlemen make substantial incomes out of their business connection with New Zealand, they still do not appear to think much of the culture or civilisation, &c ,of the residents. " The colony, I sup pose," said a well known merchant to me the other day, "isstill in a chrysalis con dition." "Why, no, I shouldn't say so," was my reply, " what induces yon to make Buch areruatk?" "Well, I judge," quoth the city man, "by my own omiuess. Our firm have been shipping to the principal ports in New Zealand now for years, and we find that with regard to what may ba called the luxuries of life, only the cheapest and commonest kind of goods go down. Let me explain what I mean by showing you two invoices. Some time ngo we consigned ten china dinner ser vices "on apec" to a firm in Christ church. They were not only of new patterns, but exquisitely designed and (ovcrthiog considered) remarkably cheap, selling rct.r! in London at f,ur guineas the set. This is, as you know, not by any means a large turn to 'give for a dinnerjserrice now-a-days, and we quite an ticipated realising a handsome profit. Mark the result: After some delay, our corres pondents wrots |saying the goods were too expensive for the market, and that utter trying to dispose of them in various way?, they had been pet up to auction, and knocked down at three guineas a set. The firm were sorry (the writer added) for the loss, but if we would tend out a lot of the commonest crocket y that could be bought, they had no doubt the defect would be made up by the profits then realisable. More out of bcavado than because I be lieved this, we took the advice, and con signed the same people a lot of crates of the vilest rubbish manu factured in the shape of crockery. Well, the profit was over 200 per cent,, as you may see by the invoice before you What applies to china, applies equally to wine, fancy goods, and jewellery. The poorer tbe quality the better the price. Some firms, certainly—E. and A, Isaac;, of Auckland, for one—manage to dispose of more expensive goods, but, as a rule, there is so inducement to ship anything artistic or ornamental to New Zealand." I have endeavoured to retail Mr W -'a speech as accurately as possible, though the sense rather than the words must be taken. That there are many others who hold views Bimilar to his, I feel certain. Only yester day I saw a number ot cases of notoriously bad wine (champagne) being branded for shipment to either Australia or New Zea land (I don't know which), and remarked to the merchant, " Whatever makes you send that stuff out?" "My dear fellow," he responded, "it's nothing to do with me. I must send what is ordered. Yottr friends in New Zealand who driak the liquor are the sinners,"

Anglo-Colonial Brevities.

At the opening of the session of the Royal Uolomnl institute next week, Sir F. D. Bell will read a paper on the indebted ness of the Australasian group in relation to their reeouices. People are asking if this has anything to do with the New Zealand Loan.

Tho Rev. tho Karl of Mulgrave, the Marqais of Normandy's eldest hope, in tenda to still further divorce himself from the pomps and vanities oE this wicked world. He has resigned the comfoi table family living of Worsley, and very shortly goes out as a missionary either to Fiji (in which case he will pjobabVy pass through New Zealand) or British Colambia. Some of the society papers are pleased to be sarcaatic about the numerous pars that have appeared re tho departure of Mr Francis Arkwright for New Zealand. One of theji remarks, "It certa'nly is extra ordinary that ii well-to-do country gentle man should deliberately elect to exchange a seat in the House of Commons, and a beautiful home in one of England's fairest shires, for the doubtful joys of a shanty amongst the Maoris. We cannot, however, ace that the departure of such an eccentric individual ia anything to deplore; rather let us cry, 'Rood riddance to indifferent rubbish,' and wish him 'God speed.'" It seems doubtful, aftor all, whether Mr Gladstone is go enamoured of Sir Arthur Gordon as certain persona afl'ect to think,' Ia a quasi-official column of diplomatic nowa published the other day by Iho "Standard " and " Telegraph ", there was an announcement to the effect that the late Govomor of flew Zealand will go to one of the West India Islands when it becomes necessary to re-appoint him to some post. ]f this be true, methinks Sir Arthur him self will feel tho reverse of flattered. Only a few weeks ago his name was mentioned ia connection with tho Governorship of Ceylon, and, between that much coveted post and and the petty absolutism of some potty dependency in the Weat Indies, there ,18 (vice-regally) a great gulf fixed. At a meeting of the Colonial Institute on October 23rd (General Sir H. C. B. Daubenoy. X.C.8., in the chair), Mr Frederick Battloy, J.P., and Mr George Mcrcdjth Bell, both well-known New Zealand colonists, were elected Fellows, ■

The " Daily Telegraph " of the 29th mar., published an article on the rapidly risin? prices of meat which should encourage (New Zealanders who contemplate shipping frozen mutton to the old country to perse vere in their good work. We learn, sajs the writer, from Mr Michael Mulhali's "Balance-sheet of the World" that Eng land consumes 1.800,000 tons of meat per annum, oat of which she produces but ■1,205,000 tons. Hitherto the annual deficit has been supplied from America, but meat is now as dear in New York, Koston, and Philadelphia as in London. Frozen mutton will donbtless come to onr shores in large consignments from Australia, New Zealand, and tne Kiver Plate. Years upon year., however, will have to «lap?e before we cm expect substantial help from tbeee sources, lady Ticbborne (! ?) is anxiously await irg Sir Rogers advent from the shades of Dartmoor, and does not appear to think her spouse will view with more than pas-iog disapproval the two cherubic children whom ahe has brought into the world daring his seven years' incarceration. There is again some talk of sending out several witnesses to identify the man Cress well in the N.S.W. Asylum, who is sup posed by credulous folks to be the real Or ton, but I doa't suppose it will come to anything It is understood in financial circles, though nothing definite seems to be known on the subjecr, that the forthcoming New Zealand Loan will be placed on the London market some time in Dacelnber. Doubt less I shall be able to supply more positive information next mail. A ship containing nominated emigrants for New Zealand will, I am informed, be very shortly despatched from either london or Glasgow. Sir Arthur Gordon is expected home daily, and directly he arrives a new Governor will be appointed to New Zea land. Many well-known names are men tioned in connection with the post, bat as nothing has really been decided, nothing can really be known. How woald you like Sir Ge»rge Bowen back again for a short term ? The interest taken in Maod affairs by Alderman McArthur, Sir Joseph Pease, and other philanthropic M.P.'p, has bee» much modified sinCe certain facts trans pired in connection with Taiwhanga and Co., and I scarcely thin* it likely any dia cussion on New Zealand matters will take place durioe the present session. Mr Delisle Hay's " Brighter Britain, or Life ia >'ew Zealand," which has been advertised for some time, will positively be published t-i-morrow, and in my next I shall deal briefly with some of the leading features of the work. Mr Hay, of Hay and Bachanin, Auck land, is on his way homeland expected in London in the course of this month. The famous French steamship company, knows as the Mestageries Maritime, have resolved to enter the Australian trade, and will despatch monthly boats for Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Noumea (New Caledonia), via Marseilles, Suez and Maari tius. The first of tbe line to leave is the s.B. 6anges,on Nov. 10, and she guarantees to deliver passengers and cargo at the Seychelles on Dec. 11th; Reunion, Lkc, 14th; Mauritius, Dec. 15th; Adelaide, Jan. 2nd; Melbourne, Jan. 4th; Sydney, Jan. 7th, and Noumea, Jan. 4;k. One of the features of the line will be the carriage of fourth-class passengers, though what sort of accommodation they are to have no One appears to know. Tbe wreck is announced of the carga boat s.s. Gn'f of Finlamd, on an island in the Bed Sea. She was bound to Australia and had about 300 tons of cargo for New Zealand aboard, which will, il is under stood, be totally lost. The following are the real sailing dates (in contradistinction to the advertised ones) of ships for New Zealand during the coming month :— For Auckland : Crownthorpe, Nov. 10; Brahmin, Nov. 13. For Wel'ing tou : Gareloch, Nov. 8; Montrose, Hot. IS. For Canterbuty : Opawa, Nov. 8 ; Himalaya, Nov. 25. For Otago: Invercar gill, Nov. 20 ; Banan, Nov. 18. The Rev. Robert Blundell Cummins, a missionary well kno xn. in your colony and at Norfolk Island, leaves for Auckland (via Melbourne and Sydney) by the P. and O. stramer of January 3rd. It is rumoured that several colonial managers have communicated with Messrs G:lbert and Sullivan in tha hope of securing the Australasian right to " Perola," or "Phyllis," as some *ay the Hew opera will be called, Mr Fred Marshall is one of the applicants, but as Mr Williamson did so well with " Patience " and the " Pirates " be will probably have the preference. The new comic opera, " Rip Van Winkle," will be produced shortly in Mel bo nrne; in fact, costumes are now being manufactured in Londan.

A LIVING SACRIFICE.

'£wo Mormons Murder Their

Little Boy.

SANTA Ana, November 12.—The " Chron icle" reporter drove to Westminster and its virility to-day, in search of full particu lars of the sacrifice of their boy by the Mormon fanatics, brief details of which were learned yesterday. The parties con cerned are Josiah B. Smith, about forty years of age, and Irs wife. They ctme to Westminster about fire years ago, and have been working at different pursuits until they finally settled down to fishing, and peddling the fish in Westminster, Anaheim, Orange, Tusfcin, and Santa Ana. Besides the murdered boy, who was * shrewd business-like little fellow, and generally accompanied his father on his peddling trip?, there were four other children, all younger. The family lived in a little shanty on on island a quarter of a mile off the coast, and about five miles south.west from West miset'r and three miles sontlneast, from Anaheim landing. Access is impossible except by boat, and visitors rarely go there. A more isolated spot can hardly be imagined. The nearest house is more than a mile away. With that exception there are no dwellings within three or four miles, though sheep camps are scattered about the plains. The murder was committed on the 4th inst., but no one Knew anything of it until about noon on the 9th, when a party of hunters drove down upon the beach. A man in Westminster keep 3 a boat at the island to hire to persons who wish to hunt and fish, and the murdered boy has always had charge of it, and received a fee for his trouble. Wishing to hire the boat, this man shouted across to the island, and was answered by Smith. Oa inquiring for the boy and making their errand, known, the father stated that he had been inspired by God to sacrifice the boy to the Lord. In. reply to further questions, he said he had killed the boy, and that the body was still In the house waiting for the Lord to direct them what to do. In the meantime, no one was to see the corpse. He then sug gested that one of the other boys could take them in the boat, and, strange to say, these men remained there all day hunting, taking no pains to inform the officials, only five miles away, of what had been done. ABREST OF THS FANATICS. The next day, Friday, they came to Westminster and notified the officers of the ctioie. A warrant for the arrest of Smith was' immediately sworn out of Justice Aldridge and placed in the hands of Con stable 8. J. Finley and Deputy T. C. Hall for service. They at once drove down to the beach, shouted to Smith and he rowed over to them. On making the. object of their visit known, he gave himself up quietly. The mother and children were brought from the island and the entire family taken to Westminster. Friday morning, before the officers' arrival, the boy had been buried about thirty feet from ttie house. On the arrival of the prisoner and family at Westminster, an inquest was ordeied, and Justice Aldridge, accom pauied by Dr. James McCoy and others, Smith included, returned to the beach and rowed across to the Island. Smith pointed ont where the body was buried. The grave was opened, the rough box which the father had made was raised and the lid lifted. The sight U described as most sickening. Decomposition had sat in to such a degree as to render moving the body a very difficult and disagreeable taj&

BnHSABSIKO THB TBAGEDY. The mnnaatural pareat looked on com " placently, and spoke of the murder wifh no feeling. Finally, in reply to the S turn as to how he street the bW^ stooped over the corpse, thrust his^V into it, and drew it out of the cavity wiS 0-Ut^flg^femotlon' The weapon wm an eight-inch butcher knife. Dr. McCoy £? fully examined the body, but aside f™," the fatal cut found no sign of any^t J'T ' One death-deding blow wa, sffife the centre of the chest, and with 'mfflt power to cut the breastbone and entei lhl body the full length of the blade, mlki ß ft horrible gash eight inches deep and tour inches long. r tt nr A. few weeks ago Smith g« re up fishing and being asked why, replied that the tofd had commanded it, and bad promised £ hereafter provide for him? Wflfi time on he hai made and has commanded his family to make no effort to gain a liveli bood. The boy, however, put no faith t hh father's belief, and frork time to font purchased tea, sOgar, etc., with his owa money. On the Wednesday before th , murder tbe boy purchased and took home" 1 a sack of flour, which angered his father 1 and this was fonnd, emptied oat upon the ground, togeiherwithsomeotberprovisioM close to th= spot where the murder was com' mitted. Except a few green apples, no. thing eatable was fonnd in the house. THE INHUMAN PABEHTS; '1 he crime was committed about 300 yardg from the house, Tie boy was taken out behind a clump of bushe?, both the parents being present. They claim that he knew - be was to be sacrificed and made note, sistance whatever, bat calmly knelt before them, ready to be offered up. While in, this posture the fatbe: attack the fatal blow. One of the Hint questions asked on the arrival of the family at Westminster was whether they would maks further sac rifice of their children, and both father and mother replied that if tbe Lord called on them to sacrifice all it wonld have to be' done. The mother has not been arrested, but probably will be to-morrow. The ex. amination was held yesterday. Neither Smith nor his wife marie any effort to con-; ceal anything, bat told the whole story in all its horrid details. Smith pleaded guilty as charged, and was committed for trial ob the charge of murder. He is now Impris oned in Los Angeles. A MILD-MANNERED MCTKDEKEB. - From the very first the murderer has shown no feeling whatever, and regards big crime no more than he would the killing ej a hog. Neither has he shown any temper, but has been co quiet that a child could manage him. No one on seeiog the man would imagine that he had or could hava enough spirit to do so ghastly a deed. His quiet manner saved him from Judge Lynah. As is usual in country stores, a crowd collected last night, and hang ing was freely spoken of, but as soon as tbe>o persons saw the prisoner and Ms utter want of spirit they abandoned the, idea. In everything but bis nonsensical ideas of inspiration Smith is rational, and perhaps keen, but on this paint he is a lunatic. He has been quite a purchaser of Canada lottery tickets, and said the Lord was going to send bio money from Canada to pay for burying the boy. His condition cannot be charged to undue religious excitement, as in all the time he has been about Westminster he has never entered a church, and no one even imagined he had any religious feel* ings whatever. The family are Mormons in good standing. They have been, con sidered eccentric, but not crazy. * The mother begins to feel great reraone, and to doubt the.divinity of their inspiration.

The Architects and Builders.

A special meeting of the Bnilders' Asso ciatioa convened for the purpose of consider- i ing the advertised notification of the leading architects that they were prepared to accept - the conditions of contract that govern the - trjde in London, took place last night in j the South Britih. Insurance Co.'s buUding?. Mr W. J. Connolly (President), in the chair. After the Chairman had briefly explained the business, the secretary (Mr C. S. Wright) read the conditions of contract ■ (iNos. 1 and 2) which had Ken agreed to by the London architects and builders as well as the New. South Wales conditions. They were then compared with the conditions drawn up by the local builders. The only differences appeared in the clause providing for compensation being paid the contractor ■ in the event of the work tendered for not being carried out, and the obnoxious 24th clause rendering the proprietor 'liable for any mistake or laches on the architect's part. It was stated that these conditions had been drafted from the iW£ -London sets, and that Mr Hesketh, upon revising them, had inserted the 36th clause. Some discmsaion ensued, whereupon Mr Holland moved that the No. 2 set of London con ditions should be adopted in their entirety. He believed the architects were'prepared to gire these conditions a trial for twelve months, and then rectify them if they did not work properly. Mr f hodes seconded the motion. Mr McColl painted out that if they adopted the resolution, they would' abandon all that had been done for the last three months. The compensation clause. and the spirit of the 2-th clause were not 1 included. Mr Colebrook moved the ad journment of the question until nest Thursday'a meeting, and urged that they should stick to the conditions they had pre pared until the architects showed reasons ; why thry «h uld be altered. Mr Back ' straw seconded the amendment. Finally the motion was amended by the omission of the words c'in their entirety," and the substitution in their place of the follow ing:— "With several slight additions, to; make them applicable to the colony, which can be mutually settled by a deputation from each party." In this form it passed by 10 to 6. _______________

The manner in which some Aucklandera had got "Welling ton players odt was simply barbarous, -3 (Loud laughter). He didn't allude to him. self. Oh, no 1 (Laughter.) He conld not play so well now as years ago, and an urchin who met, him the other day was evidently of a similar opinion, for he re« 1 marked to his companion; "hook at that fat old buffer; what can he do?" (More laughter). Too much had been said about captains. They were no better than any one else, and he believed he was as good a» any of them. (Labghter). There was too much soft soap altogether. In fact it was " all my eye and Betty Mai tin." " (Shrieks of laughter). He trusted the comet weald n»t swallow np cricket next year ; but if it did, he hoped they would be able to pitch. | wickets on the happy plains of Jordan and play on tor ever. (Roars of laughter.)
