Notes of the Bombardment.

[MELBOURNE "ARGOS" SPECIAL MES SAGES.] LONDON, July 12 (evening). The bombardment of Alexandria was commenced at 7 this morning, and con tinued until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the order to cease firing was given. All the forts fronting the sea were silenced by the fire of the British vessels. The magazines of four of the forts were ex ploded. The Egyptians fought pluckily, but their fire was badly directed, and failed to do much damage. The firing of the British fleet was admirably well sustained. The Temeraire went ashore, and was as sisted off by the Condor, She received no jtmage. - ' ■"- :': :Jii ____%

f A force was landed from tho British fleet I and spiked the guns. The Alexandra, Sultan, and Superb bore tho brunt of tho action, and were repeatedly struok by the enemy's shot. Ihe superiority of the gunnery and weight of metal told upon the enemy. In her maiden action, tho Inllexiblo demonstrated the terrible energy of the 81-ton gun. She carries four of these guns. Twelve officers and men from the Invin cible swam ashore, burst two and spiked six of tho guns in the forts. The men were unopposed in their daring exploit.

Sheep-Farming in New Zealand.

A RETURN laid before both Houses of the General Assembly gives interesting statis tics of the number of sheep owned in differ ent parts of the colony, the number of owners, and other particulars. From this paper we are enabled to institute compari sons between tbo various districts where sheep-farming is carried on, to note how that industry has been prospering for seve ral years back, aud to judge how far its prosperity has becu affected by the pre valence of disease among iho Hocks. It is shown that in Auckland sheep district, em bracing an area of 14,000,000 acres, there were on 21st May, 1881, 421,451 sheep; in Napier district, with barely 4,000,000 acres, tlio number of sheep was 2,041,857 ; Wellington, with 6,500,000 ncres, bad 1,407,180 sheep; Canterbury, with 8,300,000 acres, had 3,473,843 sheep; and Otago, with an area of ovor 14,000,000 acres, had 3,556,89G shoep. In tho Auck land district the number of sheep has diminished since 1879 by 41.2G7; in Marl borough, a decrease of 33,000 took place during the same period ; Wellington shows an increase of about 60,000, whilo in Can terbury and Otago a slight Increase is per ceptible. The Napier district, however, occupies a most conspicuous place for increase iv sheep-farming, there being in 1881 no fewer than 354,795 more sheep in that district than there wero threo years previously. From this it will be ob served that not only has the Napier district by f»r the greatest number of sheep in pro portion to arcs, but that it has also made the greatest advance in the numbers of sheop during the past three years. It does not appear that tho presence or absence of infection has had any tiling to do with the increase or decrease of sheep farmingin particular localities, so it must he concluded k that tho fljiotuati-us are pro duced by other and probably moro direct causes, such as the suitability pf tho dis tricts for grazing sheep. It is, of course, to be noticed that in Napier district, whero the largest increase took place, there has been no infection among.t the sheep during the last three years ; but the same immunity from disease was experienced in Otago and Canterbury during the period named with out any great increase taking place. Then, iv Wellington district, where about 40 per cent, of the whole sheep suffered fiom dis ease at one time, the flocks have greatly in creased, instead of diminishing ; and in Marlborough district, where 90 per cent, of the sheep were infected, a very slight decrease has taken place in comparison with the diminution in the Auckland dis trict, where the infected sheep woro only about 10 per cent, of tho total number. Otago in the Sonth, and Napier in the North Islands, are shown to be the large centres, not only of sheep farming, but also of extensive owners of stock. Otago has 3,586,000 shoep, owned by 939 persons, of whom 54 possess flocks of over 20,000 sheep each. Canterbury, -nith only 100,000 less sheep than Otago, spreads the (proprietorship over 1,526 individuals. In Napier the large stock-owners would seem to be more numerous than in either of these districts, for with over 2,000,000 sheep there are only 386 owners, of whom 27 have flocks of 20,000 and upwards, 36 have over 10,000 sheep each, and 55 have over 5000 each, The 421,451 sheep in Auckland district are divided between 1,356 owners; none of these own as many as 20,000, but in Poverty Bay subdivision thero are 15 persons who each own over 5,000, aad 3 who havo- over 10,000 sheep each. Throughout tho whole colony it is worthyjof remark that tho ten dency is in the direction of an increase in the number of owners of sheep, even in those districts whero the flocks show the most considerable diminution. The sheep owners in the colony ou 31st May,*lß3l, numbered 6,857, being an increase of 731 on the number at the same timo in 1879, The total number of sheep being a little over 12,000,000, this gives au average of about 1700 sheep to each individual.

The following figures show how the sheep and sheep owners aro distributed over Auckland Provincial District :—Bay of Islands subdivision (containing Bay of Islands, Mongonui, aud Hokianga), 32,270 sheep and 133 owners ; Marsdea (embrac ing Rodney, Whangarti, and hobson), 49,466 sheep and 502 owners; Auckland (embracing Manukau, Waitemata, Eden, Thames, and Coromandel), 47,421 sheep and 411 owners ; Waikato (ombracinc Waikato, Raglan, Waipa, and. Piako), 52,170 sheep and 187 owners ; Taupo (embracing East and West Taupo and Kawhia), 8,807 sheep, belonging to one party j Bay of Plenty (embracing Whaka tane and Tauranga), 20,834 sheep, and 46 owners; Poverty Bay (Cook County), 210,483 sheep and 86 owners. The first three of these districts, which com prise all the country, in the northerly part- of the province have only 129,157 sheep, while the other four districts, lying to the southward, have no less ttian 292,294. Tbis goes to prove tbat the more nor therly portion of the island is unfitted for. sheep pasturing, and this is further exemplified by the amaUnpss of the separate flocks in the north. In the qorthern districts of Auckland there are 1,046 sheep owners, while in the southern districts, more than double tbe number of sheep are held by only 320 owners. The southern districts have, of course, a greater area than the northern, but this is by no means sufficient to account for the greater comparative success ot sheep-farming in the former,

Other details, of special rather than general importance, are given in this ex haustive return, such as the names and addresses of all officers holding appoint ments under tbe Sheep Act, the Rabbit Nuisance Act, and the Diseased Cattle Act; the names and addresses of all sheep owners, with extent ol flocks; amount of fines collected under the aheep Act, &c. Ihe title of the papers—" Returns relating to Live Stock and Rabbits," - is, however rather misleading. The interestinc; "bunny" is only represented by the names of inspec tors under the l.abbit Nuisance Act, and we look in vain for any statement of the esti mated number ot rabbits in the different districts, the destruction wrought, by these pest's,'the steps taken for their extermina tion, and How far' these'had been success ful. There is, in short, no information as to the effect of the rabbit upon pastures, and the modifying influence which these little creatures bo strongly exert upon the important pursuit of sheep farming. This the title of the return led us to expect, and this expectation will, we trnst, not be disappointed in future reports on " Livo Stock and Rabbits."

Thero are no les3 than_ eight rheumatic malo patients in the Hospital at the present time, and the singular part of tho circum stance is that, with ono or two exceptions, they are all men who have not passed the prime of life. The humidity of the climate Is, doubtless, accountable for the preva lence of these and kindred complaints. Ihe "Korimako"—Maori newspaper— for July, gives the best possible proof of the success tbat has attended this publica tion. The encouragement given in all parts of the country has induced the con uiictor to doublo the size of th. paper. It is now eight pages. The selection of the matter exhibits great' judgment. Every subject of interest to the native race in tbo current month's news is touched upon, while glimpses are afforded of the doings of the great Pakeha world. The "Korimako" will supply the circles gathered around the fires in many a Maori whare with new mental food; it will promote an interchange of thought; and furnish an easy and; popular teacher. Its acceptability to the Maorisl themselves is attested :by long lists'of subscriptions re ceived from settlements scattered through out both islands. About one hundred and fifty new subscribers are chronicled in the present number. Besides the names of prominent chiefs, the list includes European storekeepers and others having dealings with the Maoris. The "Kori mako," therefore, affords a soeoial advertis ing medium obtainable in no other publica tion; and from the appearance of the advertising pages in the current number, we perc.ive that shrewd business men have speedily come Blive to the iact.

Tho lady in question is the daughter of the Rev K. O.

The event has caused a ilutter not only in social but in political circles in the west of tho county, as it is supposed that it may materially affect the arrangements already made by the Conservative party for contes ting tho uext West Cumberland election.

VIVISECTION.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—You published in last Saturday's Supplement a paragraph porpurting to be an extract from tho "Lowell Courier," and containing a rebuke supposed to havo been ndminstered by an eminent man of scienco to Miss F. P. Cobbe, for certain inconsis tencies between her mode of dress and her anti-vivisection movement. Tho conversa tion referred to was originally publishedjin "Nature," 16th March, ISS2, in the form of a letter signed H, H, Johnstone. Miss Cobbe's reply, of which I enclose a copy, appeared in the same paper of 28th Marcli. I am personally acquainted with that lady's customary " outward presentments," and can therefore vouch for the probable truth of her denial. Mr Johnstone afterwards writes to confess that he has "been mado the victim of a ridiculous and ill-timed hoax," '* Nature," 30th March, 1882.—1 am,

yours truly, 11. S, "Natube," March 23rd, 1882.—Your corespondent, Mr H. H. Johnstone, of tho Zoological Gardens, has offered your read ers some "facts," wbi.h, he says, "be knows to be true." Ho says that seme little time ago I called on "a distinguished member of science;" that "three things were observable in my outward present ments," to wit. ostrich feathers iv my bonnet, a bird of paradise on, or near my muff, and ivory-handled umbrella, and that the man of science took each of these articles as a text, for a rebuke to me for encouraging cruolty. Sir, these "facts" may possibly be "accurate enough for scientific pur poses." . . , But thoy havo given much

merriment to those who happen to be aoquaintod with my real "outward pre sentments." Suffice it to say, that I.never paid such a visit as Mr Johnston de scribes, never received such a rebuke, never used an ivory handled umbrella, never wore a bird of paradise or any other bird, either in or near my muff or any other portion of my attire; and finally, having never posscsod Buch an object in my whole life, am driven to think that the only muff connected with the ridiculous story, must be the person who assures us he knows it to bo true,—l am, &c, Prances Power Cobb.

Incorporated under "The Joint Stock Com-1 panics Aot, I860," and the several Amend ments thereof (whore by tho liability of a shareholder is unlimited). CAPITAL ._ _ .. ... „ £200,000 DrviDßi. into 200,000 Sharks op £1 Each, Payable as follows: One Shilling per share upon application, Cne Shilling per share upon allotment, and One Shilling per share on the eighth day of January, 1883 (it required). Directors t John Buchanan, ot Auckland, Merchant William Buchanan, ot North Shore, Gentleman William David Dallen, of Auckland, Manufac turer Alexander Dewar, of Auokland, Merchant Jnmes Dicker, of Auckland, Ironmonger Walter Dowden, of Auckland, Auctioneer Thomas Hanoook, of Auokland, Brewer Donald Hugh MoKenzie, of Auokland, Mer chant James MoGtowan, of the Thames, Merchant -lchard Monk, of Auokland, Gentleman William Henry Skinner, of Auckland, Builder Bankers : The National Bank of Now Zealand, Limited. SOLICITORS: Messrs Heskoth and Richmond. Temporary Offices : Canada Buildings, Qneen-street. The objeots for whioh the Company is estab lished are:— 1. To curry on the business ot Firo and Marine Insuranco in all or such ot its branohes as tho Company shall from time to time determine. 2. To purchase or othorwlse acquire tmd take ovor all or any part of tbe business property or liabilities of any other Cbm pany carrying on Firo Bind Marino In surance business, 3. To purchase, loase, or otherwise acquire any real or personal property which may bo convenient or necessary for the pur pose of the Company. i. To sell, domlso, mortgage, Improve, manage, or otherwise deal with any pro perty of the Company. 5 To invest the monies of the Company in suoh securities as may from time to time be deemed expedient and without limiting the generality of this olause. To take or otherwise acquire and bold shares or Stook in any Oompany, or in any partnership arrangement transac tion which may be Deemed dlreotly or Indirectly advantageous to the Com pany. 6, It deemed advisable, to borrow money either with or without seourlty on all er any of tho property of the Company, or by issuing debentures charged on all or any of the Company's property (both present and future), including its un called capital. 7, To do all such other things as are Inciden tal or co.duotve to tho advancement of the above obi cots. This Company has nowbeen tally established, and without any appeal to the public over Ten Thousand Shares have been already applied for, I n many instances the appllo-tions were re peated and the number of shares doubled. The Company has been established on prin ciples different to those of tho other Insurance companies now existing in the colony. Of these principles the chief is tbat known as the Mutual principle by whioh the profits ot tha Company, after paying interest at the rate Of 8 per cent, to the shareholders upon their paid up capital, and after suoh deductions for the formation and replenishment of the reserve fnnd and other contingencies, are to be divided Into two equal parts, one part of which will be divided between the Insurers In proportion to the premiums paid by them respectively to the oompany during the last preceding year, and the other part will be divided amongst the shareholders in proportion to the paid up cap ital on their shares respectively. By theso means Shareholders derive the following benefits : -Ist. They reoeive 8 per cent, per annum upon their paid-up capital. 2nd. They reoeive aa a bonus or dividend cne-balf of the balance of profits distri buted in proportion to the amount of their paid-up capital, while Insurers reoeive as a bonus or dividend the other half of balanoe of profits, distributed lv firoportion to the premiums paid by them dur ng tho last preceding year. If a person qsouples the donble position o Shareholder and Insurer, then he partakes of both sets of benefits. Another feature in connection with the under taking Is that Shareholders only are liable tor losses. The advantages derivable from an under taking, based on su-h principles, must at once appear dear to evory Intelligent mind; for the Shareholder and Insurer are stimulated alike to advance the Interest of tne Company and pre vent losses—First, by direoting business to the company. Beoond-, by exercising caution In the selection of risks which they bring; and. Third, by using extra precautions to prevent fires, by which their boc us or dividend would be absorbed. in this way both Shareholders and Inuurers work together for one and the same object, each being stimulated to make the business of the Company as large as possible, and so pro duce a large bonus or dividend, in which they each equally participate. This eamo result or object also aots as a preventive to the occur rence of fires and losses, In this way each set of bsneficlaires has a speolal and partloular Interest in the welfare and prosperity of the undertaking, and lt Is this principle which forms the company's strongest safeguard and proteotlom The larger the num ber of Shareholders and Insurers, the further th'B safeguard an-I protection is extended; for, as each feels the prosperity ot the Company, so each (eels its reverses, though both are felt In different degrees As to the necessity for such an undertaking, lt Is quite cloar that if Is oallod for. The busi ness of Fire and Marine Insurance has b°en, and still Is increasing throughout the colony, and especially Is -Mb so in tho Auokland Pro vinolal District. The vast returns which have been obtained by onr local companies demonstrate beyond a doubt that a buslnsßß of very great magnitude Is being transacted year after year, and that those enormonr* results are produced upon a very small amonnt of called-up capital. None of these extraordinary results, however, are produced by Companies formed upon the mutual principle, by which every additional Insurer, by insuring, lessens the cost of In surance, and creates a powerful protection against that carelessness from whioh fires are chiefly due—a principle whtoh induoes greater oaro and oaution in all households and places ot business. Building and population, too, ore both on the inorease, and there is every pros pect of this oontlnnlng. All the Fire and Marine Insurance Companies in New Zealand are based upon the ordinary principles, by which profits are divided amongst Shareholders osLV.and such regard for Insurers as Is now proposed finds no place lv their con stitution. It is reasonably oonoinded, therefore, that a wide field lies open to the Company now intro duced to the publio. and a prospect ot success certainly bb great, if not greater, than that hitherto accomplished by similar institutions is now presented for acceptance. As to the Company's projoots— The success whioh has followed the different Australian Mutual Llfo Associations must be well known, and the Increasing numbers ot such institutions augnrs well that the principle of mntuality is the key to this vast measure of success. If success follows that principle when applied to risks ot such an uncertain nature as life ris-s, it is impossible to advance any souid argument against the like results being obtained in apply ing the ljfce principle to the less hazardous undertaking of Fire and Marine Insurance. One Mutual Fire Society in Australia has been in existence pino years up to May, 1881, and for the last eight years it has paid 20 per cent, bonus dividend equally between Shareholders and Insurers, besides 8 per cent, interest to Share, holders upon thoir paid-up capital, and in May 1882 (tho end of its tenth year), it had in invested funds the handsome amount of £15,000, What is more remarkable still ia that these results havo all been produced from a called-up capital cjf only Sip thousand two hundred and fifty ppuvm, Forms of application for Shares can be ob tained at the Company's offices, Canada Build ings, Anokland, or trom any Branoh of the National Bank of New Zealand, where the same will be received np to the 10th August next. If no allotment Is made, the deposit will be returned without deduotion, and when the number of Shares allottedis less than the number applied for the surplus will be credited in re duction of tho amount payable on allot ment. Copies of tho Memorandum and Articles Of Association of the Company may beinspßOted at the office of the Company's SoHcitors.
