ACTION AGAINST SIR A GORDON.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

Mr Hun*, late Chief Secretary of Samoa, has instituted proceedings in the Supreme Court, Wellington, against His Excellency the High Commissioner for an assault and false imprisonment, claiming £800 damages. Mr E, Shaw, of the firm oE Brandon, Shaw & Brandon, bos been retained as counsel for Mr Hunt, the Crown- Solicitor, Sir H. D. Bell, acting for his Excellency. THE LICENSING COMMITTEE ELECTIONS. Owing to the Good Templars and those connected with the liquor traffic having agreed to prevent a party strugcle at the t coming licensing elections, there is not likely to be any excitement here over the election. VOLUNTEER COMMISSION. It has now been definitely decided that the Commission to investigate the Volunteer claims will consist of Messrs Fulton, Burry, and Colonel Haultain. It is understood that the former gentleman will act as chairman. The Commission Is not yet signed, but this will be done prior to the departure of the Governor for Christchurch, on Thursday evening. Later. I am informed that the name of Colonel Haultain has been substituted for that of W. F. Mackay on the Voluntoor Com mission.

Mr Johnston, Postmaster-General) left to> day for Caatle Point.

The Governor will leave for Christchurch on Thursday evening or Friday morning. Major Atkinson goes South in a few days to travel the Island, and Rolleston will also go South, it is expected, on the return of the Premier,

MAIL NEWS.

A DAY CENSUS OF THE CITY 01 LONDON. A London letter of the New Yuri "Times" says : —"When the arrange nionta were made for taking the Imperial Census,thtt Corporation of London -were ex tremely desirous of getting the Government to institute a special inquiry into the various aspects of the extremely divergent and heterogenous population which inhabit the niimll area of a square mile known to the world as the City of London during the term ot 24 houra. Tho good citizens had a special object in this; they knew that the method of numbering was based on the principle of sleeping inhabitants, and that, therefore, as the sleepers of the city wore now reduced almost entirely to caretakers, the result would show a diminishing population and of such a nature as would place tho " city " .proper at an immense disadvantage as compared with the surrounding districts of Fiusbury, Marylebonc, Kensington, &c, and that the enemies of the Corporation would use this information as a lever to oust the Corpora tion, and bring to a successful issue the great measure of Government and Cen tralisation for toe whole metropolis, to which the Corporation of the city is most invetcrately opposed. In order, therefore, to put tho matter on its proper footing, as they conceive, and bring the real importance of toe community they represent before the public mind, tho Common Council insti tuted and carried out a day census, showing the real nutnbere cf persons entering and leaving the city during given hours, and the extent and value of property, &c. The re sults are interesting, though I fear they will not put off tho evil day of reformation^ perhaps, rather hurry it on by proving the vast interests at the mercy of what is too much like a clique for these days of popular representation. The result of tho census showed that during tho day 261,061 per sons of both sexes and all ages were em ployed on tho premises in one capacity or another; this was on increase of 90,928 since 1966, when a similar enumera tion was made; offices, premises, houses, &c, in separate occupations, amounted to 24,8(18. Another matter investigated was the number of-persons entering the city boundaries within the 24 houra. This number was found to be 797,563, the greater proportion entering between 5 a.m. and 9p,m. The number of vehicles within this time was 71,893. These figures were ascer tained by two persons stationed at each of the sixty inlets into the city boundaries. The largest return was at London Bridge, which in tbe twenty-four hours carried into the area 78,943 persons, and 10,733 vehicles. The twelve railway termini within the city jurisdiction discharged 176,009 passengers. These' figures, be it noted, refer only to persons entering, not leaving the city. The rateable value of the city is £3,535,494, larger even than Liverpool, which, despite its immensely greater area, is assessed at only £3,211,344. The official returns of profits or income, as returned by the persons taxed, is '£39,263,424. The whole of London is put at over £81;000,000. Thus it will be seen that the city con tributes about one-half of the amount. These figures are startling when it is re membered they refer to an area of only one square mile. SMOKE-CONSUMING GRATES. The little domestic improvement hinted at in the heading of this paragraph is just now occupying much attention. I have before alluded to the Anti-fog Committee, who are sitting with a view to find a solu tion of the fog [difficulty, by which the metropolis is bo often perplexed. It is under the auspices of this committee that an exhibition has been opened at South Kensington, and manufacturers are invited to exhibit smoke-consuming apparatus. I have recently seen this display, which, as may be supposed, is heterogeneous enough in all conscience, and only leaves the spec tator in a state of bewilderment. My im pression is, however, that the solution of the difficulty will be found in the heating of the air feeding the fire so as to improve the combustion, for it is certain that smoky fires are caused by imperfect draughts, and imperfect combustion as a consequence. Some furnaces endeavour to effect this by admitting the air first under, and at the back of the grate, where it becomes heated by the lire, and is then delivered from the back of the grate on to tho top ot the fire, where improved combustion un doubtedly resnlts, and the muoke is much lessened. This regenerative principle of utilising the waste heat for increasing com bustion has been utilised by Dr. Siemens, a famous engineer and savant, represent ing' here the firm of t-ieniens Bros, (who have offices in London, Fans, and Berlin), for an improved gas burner. This burner, which is of too com. plicated a nature for description without a diagram, is fed by a current ot heated air poured upon the gas-jets as the gas escapes on ignition at tbe burners. By this means an intense combustion is produced, so in tense, indeed, that the naked eye can with difficulty examine it without a coloured medium. Such a burner, of coarse, economises the consumption, but from its construction is only fit for lighting up large areas. I expect it will 'M brought into prominence for street crossing?, now being everywhere plentifully constructed, to lessen the now serious dangers await ing foot passengers. At present each of theso refuges in being illuminated by a splendid series of jcte, invented by Mr Sugg, a well-known gas engineer. Indeed, tho success of the electric light has so' roused tho gas company that, to Bhow what they can do, they have erected a set of magnificent burners in Whitehall, which produce a most brilliant illumination, not unworthy of electricity itself.

The Lost Balloon.

The Woolwich balloon Saladin, in charge of Captain Templer. of the 7th battalion King's Eoyal Kiflo Corps, who was accompanied by Mr Walter Powell, M.P. for Malmesbury, and Mr Gatdner, ascended at Bath on Saturday, the 10th insfc., and made considerable progress. Finding themselves near the sea, about five o'clock in the afternoon, they attempted to descend near Bridport. The balloon came down with great force, and Mr Gardner and the captain were thrown out, the former sustaining a fracture of the leg. Then the balloon re-ascended rapidly, and with Mr Powell »s its sole occupant it was driven nut over the sea. The balloon gradually fell, and it was seep to strike the sea about two miles distant, it is believed. On Satur day night the steamer Commodore started from Weymouth in search of the balloon, but, after goinc; some distance along the coast and a good distance out to sea, she re turned on Sunday morning without any tidings. She was sent out again during the forenoon, but, after unsuccessfully searching the West Bay and the water to the south, she returned again at 7 o'clock ] in the evening. Captain Templer then pro ceeded to head-quarters to report ihe loss of the balloon. KKPOKT OF CAPAIN TEMPL«B. Captain Templer has made to Mr Scott, secretary of the Meteorological Office, the

, following report :—" Sir, —I regret to repor that on Saturday, the 10th December, ] ascended at Bath, accompanied by Mi Walter Powell and Mr Agg Gardner, at lb, 55m, p.m., for the purpose of taking th< temperature of the air, and the amount oi snow in the air, for the Meteorological Office. I cleared the snow clouds at 4,000 ft. altitude; the temperature of these cloud* was 28deg., and the wet-bulb thermometei read 28 deg. At 4,200 feet we passed ovei Wells, the time being 2b, 50m, At this height I worked over Glastonbury; the temperatnte now rose to 41 deg., and the sky was perfectly clear. I passed then between Somerton and Langport, and 1 here found that I was in n N. j VV, current. I asked Mr Powell to send the balloon up to 6,000 feet, to ascertain the temperature of a small bank of cirrus, I found this tem perature to be 31 deg., and then I asked him to place me at 2,000 feet altitude, to regain the N. JW, current, and we then came in view of Crewkerne. I now kept at a low altitude until I reached Beaminster. Mr Powoll here observed that we were going at SO miles an hour, and here we first heard tho roar of the'sea. The balloOb suddenly rose to 4,000 feet. At this time I said to M x Powell, «Go down to witnin 100 feet of th» earth and ascertain our exact position.' We coasted along dose to the ground until we reached Symonsbury, I here united tb !l man and ashed Him how far the distance Was to Bridport, and he said about a mile. I asked Mr Powell to prepare to ' take in,' our pace now increasing to 35 miles an hour. To avoid the little village of Neape. Mr Powell threw out tome ballast. This took us to 1,500 feet elevation, and we had still two miles to get in. I opened the valve, and descended about 150 yards short of the cliff. The balloon touching the ground dragged a few feet,and I rolled out of the cat with the valve line in my hand, This caused the balloon to ascend about S feet, whenMr Gardner dropped off dud unfortunately broke his leg. I found tbat the rope Was being pulled through ray hands,and I called t j Mr Powell, who was standing in the car, to come down the line. He took hold of the line.ami in a few mote seconds the line was torn through my hands. The balloon rose rapidly, Mr Powell waved his hand to me, and I took his compass bearings, and found that he was going in a S. \ E. direction. Some men coming up> I placed Mr. Gardner in their charge, and sent word to the coastguard and Bridport harbour* master to koep a good look out, and to go out with boats. I then proceeded to Brid port and tolesraphed to the commanding officer of Royal Engineers, Woymoutb, to have a steamer in readiness for me to go in search, I proceeded to Wey mouth, and found tho s.s. Commodore with steam up-, I here received a telegram Jrom Bridport, the harbourmaster saying that the balloon had been seen to drop in the sea south of Bridport, lat once proceeded to sea. searched the alleged place of his descent, making due Allowance) for the wind and current. This proving unsuccessful, I crossed the channel till we sighted the Caftquets Light, and then returned in a JN.W, direction, ultimately reaching Wey mouth about 5 a.m. on Sunday morning. I am of opinion that what was seen to fall into the sea was not the balloon, but part of the gear thrown out to lighten the balloon, as the balloon could not have fallen so close to tho shore as to be visible at about 0 p.m." The Saladiu was the property of the War Office, but about six months uro it was lent by the Government to the Meteorologi cal Society,

(Before His Honor Judge Macdohald),

JJKI'ENDUD CASES,

Gerge Edward Woodward v. W. Phillips and Son, claim £100 for breach of agree ment.—Mr Hcsketh appeared for plaintiff, and Mr J. B. Kussell for defendant.— Geo. B. Woodward, the plaintiff, was tbe first witness culled. He deposed that he was a glass-cutter, and had lately been in tbe defendants' service, under an agreement entered into with them at London (agree ment produced, and after a discussion held to be insufficiently stamped.) He arrived in the colony en the 21st of Decem ber, 18S0, and at ocC) reported him to tbe defendants, and entered their service in the capacity of a glass-cutter. Be remained with them until tho 31st of December lost. His duties consisted simply in tho cutting and packing of glass. On the 2lst of December he left the defendants' eervice because he was ordered to "go" by Mr John Phillips. There was a bundle of laths which he had ; had from various places where ho had been employed in fitting glass, and as there was a carter going to where he lived, he took them down to the yard in order to put them in the cart. Having done this he proceeded upstairs, but was called down by Mr Phillipps, who had brought the bundle of laths into the ware house agaio. As soon as witness reached him, Mr Fhillippa called out in a very loud voice, " Take them back." Witness was so surprised that he could not answer, and Mr Phillipps repeated tho command. Xwice then wit ness remarked that the laths were not the defendants', but each time the only answer he received was the order, ' Take them back." Witness replied, "No," and Mr Phillipps thou told him to put on his clothes and go about his busi« nes?, afterwards saying that if wit. ness wanted the laths he should have asked for them. They were witness's own property, however, having been given to him in the course of business, by carpen ter?, for measuring in default of a rule. That was the extent of his iniquity-the taking of the laths, which were his own property—and for it he bad been dis charged. He had only been able to get a week's work since, and that at glazing. He bad no further opportunity of getting employment here as a glass-cutter, and ho did not know whether ho would in other parts of tbe colony. (Left Sitting.)

OUR LANDS: LEASING V. SELLING.

The following interesting letter appeared in a recent issue of the Melbourne ««Age":-

The Corporation of Liverpool is a gigan tic owner of houses and city lands. At a very early stage of its existence it adopted the wise policy of purchasing the fee simple of town and suburban lands, and leasing them out in building plots for three lives and 21 years. Experience has proved that this term is equivalent to seventy-five years. Therefore the leases are n6w for seventy-five years. They are purchased right out for' a capital sum down, like a fee simple, with certain stipulations, as to fines, for renewals. Otherwise, 1 think, there are no restrictions, except in special instances, like the Sefton Park, •where the character of the houses is pre scribed. This wad an estate of 160 acres, about eight miles from the centre of the city, which the Liverpool Corporation pur chased a few years ago from the Earf of Sefton for £500 per acre, and converted, at an immense outlay, into a pleasure park, ■with ornamental waters, &c, reser ving certain portions for building leases. But wherever they can buy up a ten or twenty-acre block in i the neighborhood, which they think may at some future day come in for building, they purchase it, the result boing that the wealth,of the Liverpool Corporation from this source is immense and continually in creasing. The costly improvements that have been effected thereby in Liverpool are a marvel. It would be well for our prosperity if the Melbourno Corpora tion would follow • the success ful example of that in Liverpool. On the same ground would it not be better to lease than sell the remnant of our national domain ? I remember that when the late Mr Swinton Boner, the then hcadZof the grand old Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Com pany, as well as being the lead ing man of his day of the British insurance world, and a great authority upon all such fiscal matters, was in Melbourne twenty-five years ago, he was loud, very loud, in favor of leasing instead of selling our lands. Of course he had an intimate experience of the Liyerpool Corporation.

CORRESPONDENCE.

PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT.

(To the Editor.)

Siß,—As a stranger in tbis country I had the pleasure tho other day of witnessing one of tho finest pieces ot batting I have ever seen. Mr Absalom Dewes can safsly credit himself with having made a distinct impression Upon the English professional eleven, which has lately left this country. I have myself been a regular attendant at the Oval for many years, and on various occasions have been present at many first-class matches at Lord's. Accustomed as I am, therefore, to see the best poisiblb form at the wickbts, I can without hesitation say that Mr Dbwes bos given evidence of very great promise as a batsman, and is down in my note book as a prospective heavy scorer in first-class matches. We have few who can boast of a stubborn defence, and fewer atill who are brilliant bats, if we discriminate amanßst our "colti." t venturej however to be lieve that Mr Dewes has already great hit ting poWer, arid at no distant date will overcome his present trilling propensity to "slog.'1 Nothing, I think, could bo more appropriate that tho suggestion made by my friend "Long-leg," that a bat should be given for Mr Dewes's tcorc, —I am,etc, K. Parr.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l noticed in to-day's " Herald " a letter signed " Long Leg,'1 urging the usual presentation ola bat be made to the highest scorer in the late cricket match against the English team. I need hardly s»y I thoroughly concur with "Long Leg," and think that the brilliant innings and good cricket shown to us by Dewes really deserves to be recorded im the annals of colonial cricket, and ought to be recognised in the manner suggested. Dewes is, no doubt, a great acquisition to Aackland.— Yours, &c, Bbttjsr Fingers.
