A.cable despatch dated London the 6th inst., cays : " Public feeling throughout Russia is strongly excited ngaiost England. The press teems with articles denouncing the aggresive action of the English Govern ment in dealing with the affairs of Egypt, and a firm alliance with France is strongly advocated. The leading journals declare that a deliberate Insult has been offered to the French people l>y the attempt mado to exclude their representatives from further participation in the financial control,; Very threatening language is mado uaa oi towards Ensland, and every assignee fa offered to France in case she should be compelled to use force ra maint»in her right to interfere in the affairs of Egypt." The tone of the Enssian p'«S3 on this eub irct reflects, we do not doubt, the pievai! ---j " -'ing of the Russian people, and it is Kfcfla!) *C* °? ly ol the intensity of S2K ikhiß to." England, but al-o of the anxiety 6.1 thto country to cultivate an aUwneiJ With Fpuce as the natural' enemy of Germany. The next European war will, not vn ikely, Jbe sustained by fuch aa alliance, with *nstria aiding Germany, and Italy looking out for anything she can pick up, Wu do not believe, however, that ►tu-h a contingency ai tbe telegram con templates will ariss out of the settlement of the tfgvptian question, difficult and delicate though that may be. The head of the French Cabinet recently challenged a vo!c of ■ confidencs io the Chamber upon tho relations of that country with England,and assurances come from both sides of the Channel of the con tinued good understanding between the two leading maritime powers, notwithstanding ' the pusillanimous character of the French- Egyptian policy. At ths present moment there is scarcely a war cloud in the political horizon of Europe. France is, however, once more menaced with internal dangers-the truth of the official statement with regard to the existence oi revolutionary plots bar ing been demonstrated by the arrest of aeveral of tho conspirators.

TflK rapid growth of tbc city, and the demand for houses, causing the orcctlon of buildings in all directions, induced some slight attack of land fever; and the owners of blocks of suburban land have shewn a readiness to supply, and even to anticipate all wocta in this direction. The quantity of land sold hitherto, however, is com paratively small, when we consider the population of the city and the request for building site*. There is nothing in tho fever, as it has so far been developed, to create appreheneion of a trade collapse like that which followed excessire land speculation in Auckland many years ago, and more recently ia Wel lington and Dunedin, and it_ hardly appears necessary to administer a caution against repeating past tollies. The last two or three sales have proved that the smalloafiogs class are not, to any large ex tent, bindirig themselves to payments which they will never be able to keep up At the sale of Sunny side Wo. 2 to-day, the prices given were very con siderably below tboso chronicled at the sain of adjoining land of equal value a few weeks ago, and at the preceding sales lots were quitted with difficulty. It looks, therefore, as if suburban landowners rather over- Btocked the market, and that for the present fancy prices cannot ba obtained, though there is still an unabated demand fur sections at moderate rates.

iAt the meetirg of gentlemen held yestrr. day aftemcon for the pu'pose of establish in« & Deep Sea Fishing and Fish Curing Co., Mr J, Hurltt (who preticbd) explained that it was their intention to form a com puoy to take over Mr BY Williama's hu«i ness aud carry it on upon a lnrge scale —the industry of deep sea fishingand fisU cuang. Mr Holoiwood then stated in d'tail the operations of the proposed company and the expected profits. He also mi ntioned that Mr Williams had a profvss of preserving fish and oysters which rendered them fit for export to any part of the world, and that by its use fish could bp kept freih for any length of time for the local market. 4. preservative liquor was used which could be imported from London. Mr Williams averred that there was a large maiket in the Australasian Colonies, for fresh and smoked fish. An inventory of his plant was also produced, from which it was seen that be wai willing to dispose of it for £915 14s. Eventually (as stated in our last issue) Messrs Hurt, G. W. Bioney, Fisher, and John Reid wero appointed a committee to obtain the fullest possible data on the subject of deep sea fishing, etc., for submission to a future meeting, • ■ ''

A water-colour painting, representing the North'enrl of Tiriti i Island, la on viow in the wiadow of Mesh Ph'llipps snd Son*, Queen-btrtct, In this pictur ,Mr Alfred Sbarpe, the artist, has mcceeded admirably in delineating the ratu-al features of tbat comparatively wild yet romantic spo*. Too colouring w wot exaggerated, but stiictly in accordance with nature. The scenery is defined with artistic care. The rocka and dope?, with thoir exquisite tintinga and shadinc.", tha long peering grafs, g,c?n or withering, in the" sunlight, the Curistmas trees over banging dangerous passes, sea and sky, and the cutter and Waiwera steamer ju tho distance, are distinctly pictured. Mr Shaipomaybe congra'ul*ted on this - hi-* last bucccss -which cvidencei, beyond » doubt, the possession of taste and » love of the beautiful; also, a poetic conception of Buhject, and without which a mnn cannot become either a poet or an attit.

A painting by Mr 17.I 7. A. Whitcombe, re presenting Mangahe Creek, Waiknto River, has attracted a good deal of notice in tho window of Messrs Upton ai;d C>. the time of tha day is supposed to be near sunset, when everything is suffused with the greenish hue, well known to tho frequenter* of the buth. Tfiis effect hi>s been attempted in the p:cture with considerable success, though to the uninitiated the pecu liar light may po«sibly appear exaggerated, and uutrue to nature. Xho trees and terns in the foreground ore paihtsd with vigour and bread'h, though without much finish, the artist's intention being for the spectator to stand at a distance of about three yards from the pic'ure. Viewed in tbis way, and in a better light than the present position affordß, it will be fonnd that *he work contains much that is creditable and promising. Mr Whitcorabe, it may be stated, has made bush scents a close study, and U thus well-acquatnted with the thousand and one effects discover able there daily.

At the meeting ot the Harbour Bwd yesterday afternoon, it was agreed on the motion of Mr McKenzie (1) " That the following membo'S of tho Board, viz, Messrs. .Boardraan, O.

Tho iollowirig amendment by Mr Boardman on Mr Me- Kenzie's motion in reference to port charges on nett tonnage was adopt d -" That the secretary be instructed to communicate with the secretaries of the other Harbour Boards iv the colonies, asking them for full particulars ot the port charges on vessels, and that the discussion on Captain Mc- Keuzie's motion he deferred until such in formation is obtained."

The last reading, by Key. H. B. Dewsbury, was tbe finely-depicted •' Death of Thomas Nev/comp," one of Thackeray's masterpieces, well read, and listened to with seemly attention. Several of the members followed with remarks which showed a knowledge of Thackeray's books. The chairman announced an essay on Tuesday evening next by Mr John Gittos on "The Chinese."

MYSTERIOUS DROWNING CASE.

Supposed Murder.

On Sunday the 4th inst., George Savage, a farm servant in the employ of Mr Tolo, Orakau, started on horseback to ride to the nativo settlement of Araikotere, some 15 miles distant in tho King Country. As be did nut return by Monday evening, his employer bocamo alarmed and communi cated with the police stationed at Te Awamutu. Constables Gillies and Kudd at ouce proceeded to the nativo te: tlcmont, whoro they learned that Savage had left for Orakau aboin 6 p.m. on Kuu day, and was seen to start in that direction. On Monday his horse, saddle, and bridle were found near the Punui fciver, which stream is about 10 miles from Te Awamutu. He would have to cross it, and it is re ga'ded as almost a certainty that, in the Puuui was much swollen at tho timo with Saturday night's rain, Savage was ewept ft om his hors3 nnd drowned. A search for tho body was instituted, but, up to the present it has not b:cu rccovcrod. Moro recent events throw a veil of mjstfry over Savage's disappear ance, and have given riso to tho suspicion that he met his death by foul means. It would appear that oa Monday l.is:, 14th inst., m. nativo named Maniapoio stated in Corbay's Hotel, Kihikihi, to a boy named Hcnjamin ward, ttiut a. Maori named Pukekura' had murdered Savage and then thrown him into tho Puuui river. Maniapoto made this KTnteincnt iv Maori, with which, however, Wurdis perfectly acquainted. Ward at once in formtd two wen — Sannders and John Veroer — what the naive had said, aid tho story soon reacted the ears of Con s»taole Gillies. He brought Watd and Maniapoto together yesterday, when the latter denied having mulo tbe statement. Ward, however, adharcd to his story, tf-he fact of Ward mentioning the matter to the two men immediately alter being soen in conversation with, tl c nativo gives an aitot probability to his disclosoro and the police aro inclined to give fcim credence. Pukc kura ia at present on tho banks ot the Punui in the King country.

ARRIVAL OF BISHOP LUCK.

i A mb.vting of the committee appointed to arrange for the reception ot Bishop Luck was held last, night at tie Presbytory, when nearly all the final arrangements were mode, and amongst other things it ' was decided that the formal landing should take place at 10 o'clock this morning. Tho .Kiugarooma arrived before daybreak. At 0 30 tho Keception Cominittco met ajaln and perfected their programme, whereupon the Very Rev, .Father Fynes, Vica- General, proceeded to ths steamer and submitted it to the Bishop. Shortly before tan o'clock the reception party drove down to the wharf in twelve of Qaick's open car riages, and drew up a'. th« side of the Tollhonss. Here the clergy dismounted and walksd the remainder of the distance , to iho st?amcr. Ths Bishop was found in the saloon, aud the following clergy were thtre prcsoutetl to him by Father Fyncs, viz.: Rev. Fathers fowney (Vice-Superior of the Benedictines) in the absence of Father O'Sullivnn), W. McDonald, O'Hara, Paul, S. Hallcni. O'Keillv, Golden, Mahonay, Vaggioh, O'Gara, and Fox. Mr Patiick Comiskoy (the enly layman in nfen dance) was also presented. Father Luck likewise formed part of tbe company, hut of coarse needed no introduction to his brother. The two men bear a striking re semblance to oich other. Like Father Luck, the Bishop is short of 8!aluro and spare in habit of body, aud he is al;o lithe and ' active. Ho ap peared in high flpidh, and speedily placed his clergy at their ease, lie seems uuoKnally young for a Bishop, but ono can readily perceive that what he lacks in years in made up in ability. Tho cast of his features is pleasant, he has a gracious and genial manner, whila the penetra'ion of his eyes denotes a faculty of keen and rapid observation. Father . Downey handed to the Bishop a beautiful bouquet if red geraniums and white roses (episcopal colours) which bad nces a ranged by Bishop Cowie and despatched by him through Mis'es Hcaley and Dignan fur presentation to his follow prelate in this diocese.

RETURN OF THE MAORI MISSION.

Sidney Taiwhanga and his two com panions arrived safe and sound this morn ing, in tho Rlngarooma, fiom Sydney. Tho principal boro in the expedition ia in the highest apirits at what, he considers its immense success; and appears intensely satisfied with the whole business, wbxb. has turned out in exce s of the brightest anti cipations. Good luck attended the "ini-sioa" from first to last. They passed through tbe Siuz Canal just before the war broke out; and they quitted tbe Austral oa the way back immediately pi ior to her sinking. If this was not tin care of Providence^ it , would seem to be something very much like ir. Tbe kindne.-s tbe threo Maoris received on all huiidi in England greatly impressed and delighted them. Ihoy bad nut ex pected such an amount of sympathy and support. Their chief supporters were t';e clergy, with Canon Liddon at their head, and the Aborigines Protection Society; though if such influential adherents had failed on their landing they bad thuught of another expedient which, though not quite so respootablo and aristocratic in its bur roundings, would, lwwcver, have proved lucrative enough to have enabled them to lollow out tbeir original intentions with (success. Of tho

Pkince and Pkincess of Walks, Sydney speaks with rapture. Neither of them exhibited the least pride or haugh tiness, and chatted with the Maoris in the friendliest manner. The failure of tho much talked of interview with the Queen hirself.Sydnvyattribut-a to the in fluence of tbe Agent General,sir Dillon Bill, wuose opposition was of course by no means uulooked for. He even tried to prevent the ''mission" from seeing Earl Kimberley, Colonial Secretary; but th-j latter ye y k'urily remarked that since they were co!o ---uists ho had no right to refuse to confer with them']

kia Dillon Bell and the Mission. Mr Ches-on, and other friends, advised Tiiiwhnnga previous to tlio intoiviow with the Earl to take the eld chief, Fame, down to frir Dillon Bill's ofliets in order io ci>nci.iato him, and oulist his sympathy as far ai could he. '1 his was doni-. . Sr Dillon received them courteously nnd chatted with the old man in excellent Mao.i. Tho latter enquired what the Agent-General thought ot the "inissiou." Tiioieply was guardul, and the natural query put, •' What was its object ?" Tho ausvver of tho Maoris is too well-known to need repetition ; sullico it to say, it was all about tho Treaty of "Wai taugi, laud disputes, To Whiti's hard treatment, his imprisonment, and other griovunces, more or less real. Sir Dillon at once pointed out that Taiwhanga and bis two friends being Ngapuhis had no connection with To Whiti; but Parore patriotically replied that he also was a Maori, and whatever troubles befell the Maori nation at large, injured h!m too, and aroused his active sympathy. Ho be wni'ed Te Whiti a wrongful incarceration, and was bent on redrefsing this, as well as otc: t)rinnio3. Parora thea »skcd thu Agent-General if he would accompany them to the offices of toe Colonial Secretary. Sir Dillon replied that he would, and even jLavc th« m a letter to the same olfect; but after all he proved faithless, and failed to lend them hi* couuteoaace while the depu tation wasiu tboprejcncuof KwlKimberley. Tho old chief was wrotbful at (his, and wanted t9 go down and dtmand utu for tuch a pross breach of faith ; but on Sydney's earurst solicitation refrained. Sir Dilloa may bo cun^ratulatcd on what he escaped.

Tub Mission in London.

With London they were all three aston ished. Its extent and grandeur opened their eyes. The old chief was so ea'isfied with his quartets and the treatment ho had received, that lie did not want to come away. _Ou the females they nude a maiked impres-ion. Taint hanqa asserts that had ho uot bcea married, he could have had for a wife "a very nico lady with large means." With a ei«h he was compollod to tura away, and reluctantly to remember the pnrtuer of bis joys and sorrows, who anxiously awaited hi* return to his native land. Ho assures us that ho left the latter provided fo'.and complains that the had no light to leave tho house in the Bay of Island* and &< so-1 his children. Mrs S. T., it may bo remarked, was looking about for her illustrious spou o this rnoru iu!.', not in the calmest of moods. Her welcome of the rover scorned likely to be boisterous and encrgotic, but not par. ticu'nrly loving. The young Mao i, as well as Sydney, had a rare chance thrown in hia way. His passion for tho accom plished daughter of ths landlady with whom they sojourned, w*s apparently reciprocated; and the anxious mother re requestcdTaiwhang&'s advice in toe matter. Should she psrmit her beloved daughter to contract a matrimonial alliance -with tbc youthful scion of an illustrious house? Sydney, it seems, refused to give his opinion either one way or tho ottior iv this important business, and so incurred 10 responsibility. Tho Maoris had the oppor tunity of witnessing the embarkation of the trjo[)3 for Ppypt. Ono thin™ that aston'sh cd isydooy was a Jift iv Westminister Palace Chambers where ho was making a call. To be usbc/cd iuio a little room on tho ground iloir, and then suddenly, without knowing how, to find himself on the top lloor of all, appeared to him a great wonder, worth talking about. Too incident of 'IIIK STREET FItKACUEII

revealed even tho versa'ilo Sydney in a new light. Passing along tho street one night, he came_ up to a crowd surrounding.an officer of tlw Salvation Army who was doing his best to hold forth to a noisy and uneasy audience. '1 hey were hustling and pelting him, and ths Maori's sympathy was at ence enlisted. He requested the roughs to let the preacher alono.aud if they had n« desiro to hear his words to go away. Ho then mounted the rostrum to tell tho mob what an ijnorant lot thy were, disbelieving tbe Bible, and rejecting its teachinga. While deny ing its bon?ncial effects, and tbo good the Church lud effected, he pointed out how they forgot what both had done for tho poor Maoris. Tho missionaries found his ancestor* eating each other; and he would prnbibly have coctinued in the same be nighted plight but for them. Some of tho crow.l remarked that they didn't want a Maori to preach to them; but nothing dauntrd, Sydney proceeded with, his edify ing discourse, and nnfo'd> d tho story of the preaching of tho Gospel in New Zealand. The crowd then listened.and refrained from pining, Taiwbanga was told that the Queen heard of this incident the snmo night.

Taiwbanga is sanguine as to tho success of

The Famjus Land Eohrsie,

Influcnt'al peopla have taken it np, nnd his business now is to get the natives to give their support. Ho is gong to try lo persuade each tribs to send home a representative in its interests ; and he is of opinion that in any ca«o it will be taken up by the Datives morth of Auckland. Ho is moved to attempt something extensive wi b. a view to the salvation of the Maoris. He hai seen a thousand pounds paid overnight to the Bay of Islands natives, which has all been spent "by next morning. Thus tbeir capital goes, some of it in necessaries, the ret in d.ink, •with no provision made either for tbeir future waut> or tho education of their child-" ren. But if hisplan come* into operation tbe landowning Maoris will be in receipt of com fortable annuit'ea which will enable them to bring up their youngsters respectably and themselves to walk about like chiefs. To-day Henry Kaibau, Tawhiao's secre tary, had an interview with Sydney, and informed him that the natives at Whati whatihne and other Waikato districts are all _ anxious to sco him, nnd hear from himself authoritative information about the great land venture. ■ Tbia seems like- an opening in a desirable direc i linn, nnd there the Maori agitator will en> j ploy nil his shrewdness, eloquence, ani tact i to secure his ends.

WESLEYAN DISTRICT MEETING.

The se si»n having closed yesterday, the Minisen were invited to be ptesent at the annual examination of the Maori students at tbe Three Kiogi College, which tokes place to-day.. Aa is usual, the day is made a kind of holiday among many Wesley an families, who go out as picnic parties and enjoy themselves in the college grounds. The examination is generally of a most interesting character. Tho subjects usually selected are: Bible history, English grammar,' arithnutre, English history, &c. The examination is 'of an oral nature, and is catered into mo<t heartily by the boys. There are also usually given some excel lent recitations, and in this the boys cer tainly excel in no small degree. The'report of to-day's proceedings did not reach us in time for publication, but no doubt the ex pectations of the visitors were realised, ■

ANNIVERSARY SOIREE.

Alexandra-Street Primitive Methodist istmday-School.

THE anniversary soiree of the above Sun day-school took place last night, and [ parsed off in a highly successful manner. So largely attended, ind< ed, was it, that the ris'tora had to get th'ir tea iv relays, tho school-room not being la-ge enough to accommodate all at one sitting. Ihe trays were served by teachers and ladies of the congregation. At tho public meeting which was subse quently held in the church, tho'Rev, W. P. Potter presided. After the usual devo tional exorcises, Mr Goldie, ia the absence of tbe secretary (Mr Menzie*) subuutt d the annual report and also the balance-sheet.

Tho report stated that dining the year various improvement* bad been ell'teted to the school-building, costing £154, tho effect of which had brento increase the accommo dation and afford space for Jive class-rooms abng tbe whole length of the western side of the building. There was need, however, for still further accommodation. I'etween 2,000 and 3,000 copies of the "Band of Hope" and " British Workman" had been distributed, but next year it was intended to u»ve several kinds of periodicals, to that the various members sf a family might have ditfeteat ones, The i sue of books from the library for the year had been 1,820, or an average of 35 per week. Tba interest on tbe late Mr James Harris's bequest ot £100 would enable them to purcbasa additional books from time to time, Mr Haidy (librarian) and two members of his faud y lmd rendertd good service. There had been frcqumi meetings of P.imitive Methodist Sunday-school teaches at which essays hud been read, and debates con ducted. Fortuightly ineetiDgs ot the Band ot Hope had been hold under the presi dtney of the Vice-Vresidcat, as istoi by Mißsrs Anderson, Wtir, Mackie and Mrs Anderson, nnd they had been fairly successful. Two Services of Song and the printed books of a third were :u their way out from Home. Me«srs Frith, Parker, aud others had done good service in training the children to sing their hymns correctly, The statistics of average attendance were as follow :—

The Tour of Murdoch's Eleven Reviewed.

The Aus tralian team of 1880 also played 37 matches (mostly against odls), and of these, 21 were won, 12 dr<vwn, and 4 lost, the defeats being sustained at the hands of Scar borough, Hockporr, All England ( a t the Oval), and Notts, Wow Murdoch'a tvam have played 38 games (32 of them being reckoned as thoroughly first-class matches-), and won no less than 23; 11 drawn, and only four lost (ie., Cambridge University, Camb'idgo Past aud Present-, Tbe Players of Eng'and, and the North of England). The best criteiion aa to the all round ex cellence of the tleven may te found iv the statistics, published in ttio "Sportsman." From ihese I lind thnt the ba»t;ng averages ac decidtdly heavy. Bant.erman, Mas-ie, Uoran, and Murdoch havo each (cored more than 1,000 runs, Muidoch heading the 1M with 1,706, Ma-S'e 1,410, Bisunerman 120G, and Horan 1,175. Bann^rman, the papers say, hai batted steadily .icd consistently throughout the trip, proving at times a veritable " stone-waller." lv bowling, Palmer and Garrett did most exo-c-ition at starling, Spoilor:h being decidedly "off colour." As the srasou prozr.s'cd, however, "the demon" came Well back to his piistinc form, and the way in which he sco;e;l ihe Englishmen during the last hour or so o£ the iamons All Eng land, match will long be remembered.

Hon. Ivo Bligh's Team.

The "Australian and New Zealend Gazette" publishes a brief resume of the doing!! of the members of the Hon. Ivo Bligh's Eleven when opposed to tho invin c ble Australian team. Mr C. T. fctudd, who ha* twice passed the century agaicst Antipodean bowling, ha' an average for 7 matches of 34 4, with a bowling record of 26 wickets for a shade below 21 runs each. The brother, (*. IS. Studd, for C mutches has an average of 25 '2. Mr A. G. steel's batting average is 22, and bi3 bowling avtrase 25. Mr Tylecote,for4 malches.averages 363 per innings; Mr Read, 23-2; Mr Leslie, 20 3; and Mr liurncs, 151. Barnes has taken 15 wickets at a c st of a point b lov 15 runs each, win c Morley, who wiih Mr Vein n, h-s nitdist'ngnishedhim. self w th the bat, has t<keii 19 wick ts a* aa average cost of 13*11. Prom this it wil be sea ihat the tea'ti seleitcd to do battle for the old country, though uot, of course, ihe strongest that might hive been chocn, in. eludes batimen and bowlers who are pretty sum to give a good scenntof themsehes when they reach the land of kangaroos and crioket. although it may be said the;e au3 eiaht trundhrs in the t.am, it is to be re gretted, that a substitute for Mr Lucas has not been chosen from the first rank ot bowlers.

Various Items.

Tho vessels, more especially the steamers, leaviug for Australia and New Zealand just now are crammed win pa'sengers. All the best bertha in the O:ient liners have been takes months in advance, and the s s. Oiieut herself, which sails t<.-day, coud not accommodate ano her person.

Freights are al o brisk. The Fatncnoih, which loft for Auckland (ho other <Jay, •hur. ont, 300 ton 3of cargo, and the Typhonus, though not-advrtisci to sail for (en cays, ii already quite full.

Consider nj the growing popularity of natural miieral waters in England, it ia scarcely surprising that speculators should be turning their attcDtioa to 'he rich iron and sulphur sp ings of North New Zealand.

A mail or two ago I sent srms (f the colonial papers particulars of an electric sbeep shearing apparatus that lid been suggss'ed to jEdison. Tho cutting in this machine was to be done by means of an in eaudescent wire, but it is now t.oiutecl out that a circular saw or ro'ary knif a w<>uld be far smpler and more effective. Whether anything wll cotuo of the idea seems doubtful,

Coloubts about to visit the "old coimlry " may b.i interested to learn iha' a new house of entertainment, cal'ed the "City and Colonial Club," is to ba shortly started in Lombard-;treet. Personally, I somewhat distrust these sort ot ventures. The last " Colonial Club"opeoed wit'i a tremendous flourish of trumpets, and the enhance fee wes so stiff as to be quite al inning. Thh very fact, however, re-as9utcd intending members, and ■when after a too brief ex istenco ths club iacon'iaently shut up, and the secretary left for fo-eigo parts on im perative business, those who had paid their subscripi n« felt "mugs" indeed. " Brighter Britain, or Life in Northern New Zealand," is the litle of a new book on the colony by W. Deliah Hay, which will be published shortly by Ferkkys.

Winiata's Execution.

What is the truth about Winiata's oxecu. tion ? A most gbastly and appalling story, iv which tho bundling executioner, after mi«placing the rope, is made to follow his writhing victim into the pit and polish the poor creature eff with bis hands, has been published all ov<r the country, and is, up to the present time, uncontradioted Naturally, the idea of such an abfrnlnablg

■ piece of brutality taking place in a nom /inaliy civilised Bmih community, hag called forth watgon loads of condemnatory leading articles. "One would imagine'l remarks a provincial daily, published at Manchestfr, " that ia a colony where lynch la'/ was hoc an unknown expedient a few years ago, they would at least know I how to hang a man decently." Another j writer opines that " this atracious bun»lins over a perfectly simple act will impress the natives most uufavourablv." Nearly all the pnpors fleet! to tliiok AViniata might well hnVO been spared ihe extreme penalty of .law, and that to bang him "ao long after I tbe murder ss well as niter an cmeitle with the Maoris ia which he took parr, was not in accordaDCi with the spirit of British warfoie." The sapient wrier of tbfs last s;ritence al'o thinks "if the Cape Colonists were »s blood-thirsty as their brethren in New Z'aland, several of the chiefs attend ing Cetewaj o would have been hung hiob.tr than Haman long ago. 1 hey are unquea. tionably murdereia.''

Alrsadj 20,000 copies of an appeal to Hug isbwotuen, accompanied ■with a furm of neation to tha Queen, have been scattered bioadeast throughout the Kingdom, and special committees to arouse an iuicr> st in the question ars being appointed in «11 great cities and townships A- a sample o! ihe insult and obloquy to which a man who has married his deceased wife's sister in one of our colon'ei lays himself open when he visits England, I m.-.y mention the fo lowing :—A Mr idney hart married the sister tf his deceased wife. \Mien the second wife died the other day he described her in the notice of burial sent to the local clergyman (an Archdeacon' Phillpots) as I.liza Jane Edney, other, wise siliza Jane urokenshire, on which the Archdeacon wrote to tell him that be had bepn guilty of a misdemeanour in describing the Jaciy as Eliza Jane Kdnf-y. She had never been married, and he must therefore itsist that tbe notice be amended, and the defunct de scribed .'o!cly by her maiden name of Bro kenshire, It is not recorded that Mr tdney, instead of convening his wife's name to Broker.-shite, transmuted Archdeacon Phill pot'a cranium into hiolion-head —probably kU sorrow for ihe lady's loss was too fresh, Most of jour readers wil', howevi-r, I doubt nor, agree with me that a little personal violence would have been excusable under the ciicumstanecs.

"Good limes."

The "Daily Kews " has been publishing some most effusive anicles about the " good titnea " which now prevail in New Zealand, According to the writer (who I strongly suspect is a well known ex-emigration. ajent, not altogether a straoger at j> elson) "a wave of prospedty" sterns to be at present passing over the Colony, and it is to "be attribu'ed partly to tbe efforts of tho Government, and partly to tbe visit of &ir Julius Vogel. The latter gentleman the "Daily £>ews" conespondeot i 3 evidently an ardent admirer if, and wellhe may be, for if my supposition i 9 correct tbe great Julius has wafted many a welcome fee imo bis not t)0 wel'-lined pockets. Some of the extrava gant culoguims this writer passes on the colony arc extremely misleading. In times past his letters bavo been the cuuse if much disappointment, it fact it would be far better for New Zralaud if such hair brained romancisti could be oltogetber suppressed. .No good can arise from lead ing common navvies to suppose that they have only got to come out aud »ettle down in N.Z. io realise a campctt nee and possibly a foituDC in half-a-d'zeu jears. Yet this is the drift of a recent epistle in the " Daily Kews." The same scribbler as?ures us "work is so abundant that settlers are at their wits' end whe-e to find h»n;if>," and talks (heaven sjivc the mark I) of the "Kaogitikei Advocate" as "tho leading journal of tbe Wcrth Icland.

Monkeys Die of Consumption. So do Horn nnu tiaer.?. This is a vo.y important fact ft! tending to prove that although phthisis is ill many instances distinctly lie cditary, neverthe less it may be. and frequently is acquired, Such is the riithology of the eminent Dr Graves, whoso clinical experience and literatuiv «ro ac cepted as tho highest authority. In late times the treatment for consumption and bronchial complaints has become more specif) • and hope ful. Hypopho3phito of lime is combined with cod liver oil and quinine. Tho wonderful eucalyptus is also used -with marked 'ff» t • 11 bronchial mucous membranes. The combination of these remedies in Aickin'sSyrup of Eucalyptus jvith Ilypophosphite of i ime and Quinine has been tho undoubted means of affording per manent relief to many sufferers.
