TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1882.

For the cams that Lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistftnea For ths future in the distance;. And the coo J that we con do.

Whether or not a return to the status quo ante helium, with the addition oi British garrisons along the Suez Canal, will be a satisfactory solution of tho Egyptian dilliculty, it is a matter for congratulation that events have so far developed a9 to place us in tho position of discussing tbe future BCttloment of that country. With the news of the dismantlement of the fort at Damictta, the story of the campaign ends, and the lost shred ofresutanceto tbe progress of theßiitishaim3 disappears. Mutiny, pil lage, and desertion having boen tho order of the day among the garrison at Damiotto, their expected stubborn defence ot the town has collapsed, the last icbcl army has been dispersed, the subjugation of the insurrec tion completed, aud the Khedive left free, with Biitish assistance,to begin the work of reconstructing order from tho ruins of recent anarchy, Tbis will be a work of soma time, and will only be accomplished in such way as a Conference of European Powch may direct; but at present theic is no reason to doubt that the Khedive's rule will bare-es tablished upon a satisfactory basis, without the danger of European complications arising. There are four conflicting interests to be satisfied, viz., those of tho Egyp tians themselves, thoso of Britain, of Turkjy, and ot tho other European Powers. The Khedive may be viewed as ueulral— being bound to give a passive acquiescence in whatever is determined upon. British interests cannot bo satisfied unless the safety of the Suez Canal is secured, pay ment of war indemnity made, and efficient guarantees given that the Egyptian national debt will not be repudiated. The interests of the Egyptians, as opposed to those of Britain, demand that the country should bo freed as much as possible from tlie irksome foreign control of the finances, and that the advantages of constitutional Government should be more fully enjoyed by tho people. Turkey's interest lies in the maintenance ot her suzerainty, but as no one but Tur key is particularly concerned in tbis, and as recent acts of the Sultan amount to a forfeiture of his authority in Egypt, it is not likely that the claim will be respected. The interest of tho other Powers is to prevent an undue preponderance of British influence in Egypt. There will be serious divergence of opinion on this point; but, as Britain has been al lowed to bear the brunt of the fighting, it is hard to see why she should not now have a preponderating voice in determining tbe future Government of the country. _ We may expect to find Russia keenly criticising and opposing the British proposals; and Great Britain has no right to grumble at her Northern rival adopting a rdlc which she herself so successfully played at the Celebrated Berlin Conference. _ The mass ing of KuHsian troops in Armenia, which is still going on, proves that tho Czar's Government are preparing to back up their yieWS in the pcs ding Confeienoe by a ma terial demons.rat.tGi>, and the defensive and offensive treaty between Russia and Monte negro, to which we referred tbe_ other day, is a straw in the current indicatmg that the former Power is preparing for war. Mean while the task of re-asserting law and: order in Egypt is being faithfully carried out, A Commission, of European and native officers is sitting nt Alexandria for the trial of offenders during the war, and a Court-martial has also beeu appointed to sit at Cairo to deal with the leaders of the rebellion. On the latter body there is a preponderance of the foreign element, but only one English representative. This step seems jndicious, and the further news, that all rebel officers under tbe rank of Colonel have been _et at liberty, encourages the hops that there is a Bet intention to punish the most cul pable offenders, and not to wreak ven geance only on the smaller fry, while the leaders of the insurrection are allowed to escape, like big fish, by breaking through the net.

Female Reformatory.

No apology ia needed for returning to t&o subject of alleviating the great social canker which the bringing into operation of the Contagious Diseases Act has forced to the front. Undoubtedly it ia * nauseous and disgusting topic to discuss, but none the less to be candidly debated on that account. No feelings of misplaced delicacy and false modesty should prevent tbe women of Auckland, nnd the citizens generally, from seeking a remedy for what is one of the most grievous and disastrous evils which afflict humanity. The time has come when something should be attempted, And the present discreditable state of apathy and indifference brought to an end, The Contagious Diseasoa Act was passed in a spirit of sincerity, from a worthy motive, and has been put into operation in tbis city—certain hysterical insinuations to the contrary notwithstanding—with a like feel ing. The intention is a noble and proper one, viz,, to provide an obvious and easily workable means of lessening and controll ing the ruinous effects of public prostitu tion. Such being the case, are the women of Auckland doing right when they would put a stop to an honest effort towards good without suggesting some other and better scheme ? While taking measures to prevail oaithe City Council to rescind their recent decision, we think it their duty to set on foot a project similar to what was briefly sketched v ut at the end of our lead ing article last evening. To return to the status quo ante would be a monstrous mis take. Nay, such a proceeding would prove J a want of earnestness, an absence of j energy," a wicked, poverty .pf sympathy I on the part of our women ,for tjieir I

fallen sisters. Wo are quite aware of tbe difficulty of establishing a home whora prostitutes may bo reclaimed, and we aro not disposed to under-rate them, One of tbe first objections which will no dount bo raised is that au institution with tbe same object in view was tried here some time ago, and that it did not prove a success. This fact is no real obstacle, a littio more prudence and thought, a little moreeueigy, and it can be put on one side. A home would be merely tho place ol preparation and probatiou, where by suitable employ ment, sympathetic treatment and instruc tion, the inmates might bo prepared for situations, removed from their former haunts and associations. Tho last point is the most important of all, To get the poor creatures away from their previous temptations, to place them out of the reach as far aa possible of entangle ments, where they will bo surrounded by fresh and purer scenes, is the ultimate end to be aimed at. If this cannot bo achieved, then the scheme may he expected to fail, But wo believe that it can be accomplished, though not without willing, cheerful, and self-denying support on the part of persons living iii the country. Surely there ore such to be found, whose profession of Christianity is not a mere show, who have a ical and living fellow-feeling for even thoso who havo been habituated to one of the most degrading forms of vice. Tho work wc ate describing is emphati cally a woman's work. For reasons which it is not necessary to particularise mon cannot take part in tbe practical pottion of it. In various indirect ways the latter can, of course, lend valuable service, But in tho work of pcrsuadiug the females it is sought to reform, to leave their disreputable life and enter on a better, i women alone can be engaged. Such women it may bo difficult to liud, but found wo believe they can be. 'ihcro is, we trust, sufficient devotion and self-denial in many of our women for that.

Such questions as "Is prostitution a ucccessity ? " may very profitably be put on one side for tho present, Wo have to deal uot with what ought to be, but what ia, Thcro is the hideous reality jostling us ns we walk tbo streets nt night, forcing itsolf upon us at every turn; and wo must face it, face it with whole-hearted measures, effective remedies, and not with debatiug clas. arguments. There are some facta ot human life which refuse to be perfumed and mado presentable, and this is one of them. There are somo curses which havo blasted humanity from prehistoric times, and this is one of them. Prostitution is as littio likely to be entirely abolished in tho present stato of things as theft and drunken ness. This stern fact it would be well if our women of thought nnd energy kopt steadily in view.

Ono further word of counsel we venture to add, and that is the necessity for union. It is to be fc..red tbat nothing will be accomplished if the capable women of Auckland are broken up into factions, and their energies divided. Jealousies nnd dis trust should be forthwith abandoned, for it would bo littio short of a calamity if a great and noble work was hindered by disunion.

We are asked to intimate to tha members of the Auckland and Ponsouby Choral .Societies that the weekly practica will be held its usual to-night. In view of tho fact that the date of the concert is do.c at hand, it is an urgent necessity thut all mcmboifl should attend tho intctvoning practices of tho work in hand, viz,, Rossini's " Moses iv Egypt."

Constable Foreman, of the water police, found a swag at the corner of Albert and Cuatoni-house-streets early this morning, containing two pairs of trousers, a vest, coat, overcoat, grey blanket, black hat, and leather apron, which, judging from the latter article, belongs to a travelling shoe maker. These articles are now in charge of the police.

Tho Hon. Mr Dick, Colonial Secretary, arrived in the Kingarooraa, from tbo South, Part of of his business is to endeavour to place the Hospital and charitab'c institu tions on different footing, by enlisting the .aid of local subscribers in tho managjment. Mr Dick will also deter mine whether tho Howe-stre.ct Indus trial School building is suitable for the Girls' High School.

A cab accident occurred last evening during the thuuder-storm. A cab, in which were seated Mr and Mrs Skinner, was being driven along Hob.on-street, when all of a sudden a brilliant flash of lightning lit up the road and started the horse at a furious rate. The driver, Calvert, lost all control of the horse, and was thrown on to the road when near Oram's hotel. The korße dashed down Wellesley-street into tho stable yard of Mr Crowthcr, and, strange to say, neither Mrs nor Mr Skinner were injured. The driver received several bruises and a cut, but fa likely soon to recover.

A requisition to His Worship the Moyor, Inviting him to stand a third time for the Mayoralty, has been prepar?d, and is now being extensively signed-throughout the city. Mr Clark's intentions in the matter are not known, but it is hoped that ho may ho induced to offor himself apain in order that_he may carry to their consummation tho important movements that'he has been the means of inaugurating, and notably the consolidation of city and suburbs under one governing body. The citizens have had every reason to be satisfied with him. Rignt worthily has ho sustained the honour and credit of the city in hospitably enter taining sjtrangers of note, and his liberality towards public institutions has been un* stinted, while his discharge of duty is well known to be assiduous £nd painstaking. There is very little doubt that if ljo allows himself to be put in nomination hia candi? daturewill not be opposed.

In yesterday's issue of our morning con temporary, a correspondent advisod persons opposed to the introduction of the Con tagious Disease Act " to visit our Hospital, and there sec the appalling aud disgust ing objects of both sexes who arc there for treatment." A reporter of this paper took the troublo to mako a few en quiries at the Hospital to-day regarding the statement nud was iuformed that there are at present but two patients—both male— suffering from venereal disease in the iusti tution.

A veiy interesting meeting of the mem. bers of St, James's Mutual Improvement Society was held last evening. Two essays wero expected, but ouly Mr W. Jcunings, one of the essayists, put in an appsarance. Tho subject was '* Novels and Novel Kenning," and the paper dealt with a number of masters of fiction who havo deliuhted tlio world from the days of tho author of " l.ohin.ou (Jruaoo " to thoso ot Scott and Dickens. The authors brought under review included Defoe, Richard son, Smollett.Ficlding.JSternc, Goldsmith, Scott, Cooper, Lyttou, Dickens, James, Lever, Grant, Murryut, and sovural others, With such mi array of writers, only brief characteristic sketches could bo given. Ihe essayist believed that ninny novels may be ro.id with advantage to tbe roader, while other*, iv consequonco of their immoral tone, were not calculated to im prove and elevate the mind. The essay wai well received by members, and olicited favourable criticism. The subitctof debate for Monday next is, " Is tho British drama a moral agent iv tho pie.ent ago?' Mr J, M, Geddis take, the atllrmativc, and Mr J, Kelly the negative. To the Editor : Sir,—Many thanks to Mr Ewington for _ peaking out ao freely iv yes terday's Stab. I hopo ho has opened tho way for others to be as trank, especially those who have any evidence to bring for ward ro the subject that is at present causing so much discussion in our city. Ueing ia England and Scotland la9t year, I visited a good many of tho cities and large provincial towns, and I found a very great difference between the placea whero the CD, Act was in force and whero it was not. Judging irom what camo under my own observation as a casual visitor I should certainly prefer to live in a place where it was in force, nnd beyond my own observations I have been aud still am in communication with those who have been engaged in what

is known as midnight missions, aud their

testimony is vory much iv favour of the A ci,as they can prosecute their work with very much moro success, by the assistance tbey are enabled to get irom those who have tbe administration of the Act, The town ot Portsmouth, which is much larger than Auckland, has the Act in force. It is worked by one policeman, he alone being responsible for its administration, and if one were chosen in Auckland who possesses sterling honesty of purpose.our lady friends need be nnder no apprehension that they will suffer any insult.—Youts respectfully, G.

It was also resolved to adopt the rules of the New Zealand Rifle Association in all other respects. The belt, which is held by Sergeant Watson, of tho Victoria Company, is a very handsome ono.

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE. c Last night the monthly meeting of the members of tho Auckland Institute was held in the room of the Museum and Ins'i tute in Princes-street. Despite the threaten ing nature of the-weather, which, during the progress of the meeting, developed into j a fearful storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, there were about fifty members present. Mr A. E. Mackeclinle, President of the Institute, who occupied the chair, in open ing the proceedings, congratulated the members on the passing ot tlio Auckland Museum Endowment Bill, which em powers the Governor to set aside Crown lands in the district to the value of £10,000, as an endowment for Auck land Museum. They had long desired this Act, aud they had now obtained it chiefly through the exertions of Mr Thos, Peacock, M.H.K., their president of last year. Wo doubt all the Auckland members gave valuable assistance in getting the Act Eassed ; out it was mainly pushed through y the exertions of Mr Peacock," He there fore moved .—"T hat tbe members of the Auckland Museum and Institute tender to Thomas Peacock, I'scp.M.n.U., their best thanks, for his valuable services in aiding to pass tho Auckland Museum Endowment Bill."

JL)r, Purchas seconded the resolution, which was supported by Cr Aickin, the latter gentleman reminding members that valuable aid had also been rendered by the Hon. the Premier in getting tho measute passed through the Upper House. 110 acknowledged, however, the leading part played by Mr Peacock. The resolution having beeu put to the meeting, it was unanimously agreed to, The .Secretary, Mr T. F. Cheesemau, then read the following list of new members elected, and donations received since the last meeting *.—New members : H, East man, Kaipara; W. Fidler, M.A., Whanga rei ;F. Simpson, Whangurci; W. 11. Snow, Devonport. Donations : Three large oil paintiugs, presented to the citizens of Aucklaud by Mr J. T. Mackelvie; 130 volumei of books relating to the political and legislative history of New Zealand, Mr Justice Gillies; Journal of the Royal Society of Now South Wales for 1881, Kc port of the Department of Mines for 1881, nnd New South Wales in 1881, tbe Royal Society of New Souih Wales; Journal of the Linnfean Society of New South Wales, vol. 7, part 2, the Society ; samples of Maori scraped flax, Mr K. E. M. Campbell; ne»t of grey warbler, Mr F. A, Clarke; gold specimen from Diamond Gully, Te Aroha, Mr Ryan; fossils irom tbe Loudon clay, Mr J. J. Ogle, LondoD, per Mr J. Milue. The President then drew the attention of the members to the three new pictures pre sented to the citizens of Auckland, and which were now on view in iho Museum. Mr McKelvie had formerly made a gift of pictures, which, like the present ones, were simply held in trust by the Institute, for the time being. Their ultimate desti nation, no doubt, was the School of .Design, or Art Gallery, as soon as a suitable building for the purpose was erected. A wish had been expressed that Mr McKetvie's generosity should receive some tangible recognition, and tbis would probably take tho shape of having his portrait painted by somo celebrated artist, aod hung in a conspicuous position in the ArtGabery itself. Meantime, Mr McKelvie well deserved the thanks of this Institute tho shelves of the library of which are adorned with many valuable works pre sented by him. He begged to move "That the thanks of the members of the Institute bo conveyed to J, T. McKelvie, Esq., for his valuable gift to the citizeos of Auck land, of tbo three oil painting* arrived by the ship Ashmorc, and for bis continual efforts to promote among the citizens of Auckland a true taste /or high-class art." Mr Joidah Martin seconded tho motion, aod only regretted that they were not in a position to offer to the generous donor some more worthy recognition than barren thanks, This resolution was also agreed to unanimously. The President said that though it was thoir usual rule simply to rend over the list of gifts and donors to the Library and Mu.eutn, yet be felt they ought te depart from that rule when thoy received such a large and valuable gilt as tbat just made by Mr Justice Gillies, He thought a special vote of thanka should be tendered in such cases, and he therefore moved :—" lhat the members acknowledge most gratefully Mr Justice Gillica's gift, and heirtily thank him for hta continued iotcre.t in the pro grofS of the Institute." Ci Aickin lecondcd the resolution, aud hoped that the «xample of Justice Gillies wonld stimulate many others to do like wise. The meeting unanimously adopted the resolution. The President intimated that tbo next bnsiniss was the adjourned discussion on the papers read at last monthly meeting, 1 viz., on "Cork Growing," by Mr Justice Gillies; "Now Species of Curculionidn.," ! by Captain Bronn; and "The New Zea land University," by Bishop Cowie. He offered a remark on what ho conceived to ba an excellent provision in the J>ew Zetland , t'niversity Act—the power to grantdesrees in every branch of knowldge,—which he 1 thought would prove of great benefit to the community. No further discussion being forthcoming, tbo meeting proceeded to the new business oi the evening. • A paper on " New Species of Uolcoptera," ■ by Cap'aiu T, Broun, M.E.S., was read by the decretory. In thia paper, Captain Brouu gave full descriptions of thirteen new 1 sp-cies of beetles, belonging to six dis'inct families. Of these, seven had beau collec • ted in Otago by Mr S. W. Fulton; the re mainder wero from various localities in the Auckland provincial district. The aflini -1 tics of tbo new species were pointed out in ' detail, and their sttuctural peculiarities were briefly described. Mr Cheesemau next read a paper of h's own on " Two New Planarians, from Auck land Harbour," The planarians were stated to be allied to the annelids, or marine worms. They are not uncommon in Naw Zealand waters, but have hardly been studied ns yet, only four .or five spocios being described in scientific w.nks. A brief account was given of the views of zoologists respecting their classifi cation, &c. Many of them are beautifully coloured, and graceful in form, but they are dill! cult to preserve after death. The visual organs are generally very defective, and in one sub-family arc altogether wanting. Drawings were exhibited of the two new species described, both of which Were said to be abundant in Auckland harbour.

Dr. Murray Moore next came 'forward and read an ablo and exhau.tive paper on "Shakspearo and Euphuism." He began by enumerating tho causes which con? tributed to form the peculiar literary style of.the Elizabethan ora in literature, and particularly tbat exaggerated and aflbctcd style of artificial conceits and whinnical tricks of language which came to be known as Euphuism. He gave a lengthy account of tbo writings ot John Lilly, who was con temporary with Shakspere, and who might be called the originator of Euphuism, Extracts were given from Lilly's "Eu phucs," to show tho alliterative and anti thetic style adopted. The fashion not only "ruled tho Court, the camp, the grove, it also ruled the pulpit, and samples were given of the eccentric style of address adopted by some preachers of the timo. England's immortal dramatist was affected by the prevailing fashion, and in many of his plays, notably—" Love's Labour Lost," i "Hamlet," and tho first part of "Henry IV,,"—c uphuistic expressions were need in all the comic dialogue-. Tho play of "Love's Labour Lest" was indeed a satire upon the affectations and absurdities of the euphuistic school. The lecturer went on to show that Shakespeare had greatly proli ted by imitating Lilly, though the latter was always decent, while Shakespeare was often coarse. Professor Craik and others held that the English language of the present day owes much of Its euphony to the style ot tbe Euphuists, and Charles Kifigslcy de scribes *' JKuphues" as one of the noblest and purest books thatmay bo t eid. The satire on Euphuism in Sir Walter Scott's "Mona« steiy," in the character of Sir Percy f-haf ton,scarcely deserved mention,as Scojt him self admitted that the delineatibu waa a failure. The euphuistic craz_ of time hundred years ago had its parallel in the present day absurdities of (J-car Wilde and his friendf, which, originating in imitation of some original phrases of Raskin and Carlyle, had degenerated into a ja'gon which would speedily be extinguished by the ridicule of the common sense portion of the community,

'Ihe President remarked that Dr. Moore deserved to bo complimented ou hi 3 courage in having chosen such a subject. It was unfortunately not the fashion now-a.days to read Sir Walter Scott's novels, but it was admitted by all who did so, that tho char acter of Sir Shafton very fairly bit off the absurdities of the euphuistic school. Scott's opinion of its failure was not owing to the inadequacy of his own delinoation" but to the imposßiblity of awakening an interest in au extinct craze.

The discussion of the three papers read was adjourned till the next meeting, on Monday, 30th October,

'Beforoj-cparatiug, the members inspected a number of new exhibits which were shown on the side tables in the room. These embraced -- A collection of' Fiji pottery, deposited in the museum by Captain Gilbert Mair; and a number of skeletons, admirably set up ; a macaw (Ara Aiauna), golden eagle (Aquila ChryS-Otus), North Island weka (Ucydromu. ISarlii), tuatara lizard (Sphenndon Punctatum) ; also a tree of humoiing birds (stuffed), pie sented by Mr Barstow. The manner in which these skeletons were ''tot up" by Ilerr Kemponecr was the theme of gencial encomium,

MEETING OF O'B RIEN'S CREDITORS.

FIRE AT KARANGAHAPE ROAD.

About ten o'clock last evening the ringing of the Albert-street fire-bell announcedthat: a lire bad broken out in some portion of the? city. It subsequently transpired that the■,; cause of ths alarm was a lire at a.jsecondv: hand shop in Karangahapa Koad.. near Poasonby Road, occupied „bf Mr Marcus Josephson. Mrs Josephstm, \ it would appear, was carrying »;. lamp through the shop, when, froni some unexplained cause, the bowl and;: upper portion fell on tho floor. The oil ignited, aud speedily the shop was in a blaze. Mr Josephson was not at home at tho time, but the neighbours were speedily summoned, and wiih buckets supplicdfrom the City Reservoir, soon extinguished tflfl:; fuo, Mr Carlaw, tho turncock rendering *> valuablo assistance with a hydrant and length of hose, by which means the bucke's were speedily filled. The Eire Brigadedld not arrive beforo all the danger tfns over,but their dilatotiness is explained by the feet that owing to the lightning the fire alatmfl had given several false calls earlier llOffi| evening, nnd when the real alarm sounded it was at first believed to be the effects oi of the elements. The shop ib veijr much damaged, manj of fittings and the window being destroyed, and the daniaze to tbe stock is estimated at £GO. Mrs Josephson is insured in the South British—£loo on the stock and £50 on the furniture. •

An instance of the thoughtless roannerin which Maoris treat bodily ailments ia afforded by the ca?e of a young native niuned Te Tua, recently admitted to the Hospital. Over a year a°o, while riding at Obiaeinutu, he was thrown from his horse, and suffered dislocation of tbe ancle. Nothing was done to the injured limb until the other, day, when the young man's friends decided to send him to Auckland ta see what tbe . pakeha doctors could do for him.
