THE S.S. ROTOMAHANA SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] |

DUNEDIN, November 1. Ths Botomahana was taken into tho graving dock, yesterday afternoon in order to ascertain the damage she had' sus tained whilst she was on the rocks inside the Bluff harbour on Sunday last. As soon as the dock was pumped out, an examination was made, when ifc was found that the damage sustained was far more serious than was anticipated. The vessel certainly made no. water, but the cause of this no doubt was that the most serious damage is under the water ballaafc tanks, which are full of water. The whole of the damage is on tho port side, a little abaft amidships, under ber machinery. It has been caused by the heavy weight of the vessel while lying on the rocks. Besides a number of dents in ber plates, there is one hole under the boiler, also two holes under the ballast tanks, while her rolling choke is twisted and broken in all directions. 1 his no doubt added to the strength of her, being built of steel, and was the saving of the vessel, for had it not been for the roll ing choke there is every probability that her bilges would have sustained most damage. Her keel forward and aft is also much damaged. She is expected to be ready for sea again in a fortnight.

CLERICAL SCANDAL.

Charges Against Rev. M. S. Breach.

A private preliminary enquiry was held, by the members of the Auckland Presbytery yesterday afternoon into the charges pre • ferred against the Rev. M. S. Breach, of New Plymouth. The following resolutions were adopted:-(1) That Mr Breach acted contumaciously towards the Presbytery by hia conduct towards the Rev. A. Carrick and Mr A, Bell, when sent by the Presby tery as commissioners to inquire into the state of the congregation at New Pljmoutb. (2) That he acted contumaciously towards the Presbytery by his conduct towards the Rev. John McLeod, M.D., when sent by the Presbytery to preach the church at New Plymouth vacant, (3) That he acted in such a way as to give rise to grave scandal, by effecting an insurance on the church at New Plymouth in his own name, and on his own account, and by persisting in a demand against the in surance company for the sum iusured, (si) That he acted contumaciously by sleeping in the church on more than one occasion, with a view to prevent the Presbytery getting possession of the building. (5) That be continues to act contumaciously by advertising himself aa officiating minister of St. Andrew's congregation at New Ply mouth, although the pastoral tie which subsisted between him and the congrega tion has been dissolved by tho Presbytery, (6) That his conduct viewed as a whole since the Presbytery began te deal with his case has been grossly unbecoming in a? minister of the. Gospel.—lt was resolved— "That the Presbytery find that the charges made against Mr Breach are grave and ap parently well substantiated, and that Mr Breach be cited to answer them at the next meeting of the Presbytery."

MAUNSELL'S MAORI GRAMMAR.

We acknowledge.with thanks tke'receipt of a copy of the third edition of Br. Maun sell's Maori Grammar from the Auckland publisher, Mr N. G. Lennox. The original edition appeared in 1842-(the preface being dated " Waikato Heads " in the Febrdary of that year), and this as well as a second has long been exhausted. It is needless to describe a work so r weU known,; and universally. commended by competent judges. It is the Work of a scholar who possesses a more intimate acquaintance with the Maori tongue In its purity than probably any other man now living. It exhibits the language in a form practically uncorrupted by the introduction of Euro pean words and phrases, and on this account, apart from its teaching value, must secure a lasting importance. The comparative philologist stndying the mal titudinoua dialects of the Pacific cannot do without it. Dr. Maunsell distinguishes no less than seven different varieties of Maori, the radical affinities of all of which are .very close, and tke differences, consisting chiefly in the use of words. It was, of course, beyond the province of the grammarian to discuss such questions as the origin of the New Zealanders, but Dr. Maunsell just hints that he has long been of opinion that these islands were not peopled by merely one migration, and points to the diversity of dialects snoken round the shores of Laite Taupo, in Bnpport of his conclusion. The edition before ns ia clearly printed and well got up, and we have no doubt it will com maud a ready sale.

WELLINGTON STREET.

(To the Editor),

Sib, —It appears tbat in spite of thi late agitation and tho Council's resolution on the subject, the formation and drainage of Wellington-street are as far off as ever. The stench which now arises nightly from the drain (open ceras-pit, rather), along the north side of the street, is something abomi nable, and yet the actual summer heat has not set in. Probably when a serious epi demic breaks out in tho neigh bourhood some action will be taken by "j, tbe Council in the matter. I hear tha* the works have to take their turn, an< 3 that in the present order of things it v'a he a con siderable time before tho pl«"s can be pre pared. There is no val>v6?cuse iv this; if the accumulation offfessmg; work i. so great, it is the.d*"? ot tbe Council* to tako the proper p*_. 3 *_ mcr«ase the Public Works str " *,___** temP°">riiy or perman■ entlv.^r ould ,^ c Present,state, of affairs cotT^ 1 would -BU^est a Public; meeting .. the ratepayers in tho immediate neigh bourhood, and a deputation to the Council, —Yours, ft-,-,-■
