ANGLO - FRENCH INFLUENCE IN • EGYPT. CAIRO, February 9. At a meeting of the Council of Ministers yesterday, Mr Cowan and M.De Clignibres, Controllers-General for Great Britain and France, formally protested against the Ministerial programme recently sent forth, and tbe action of the Cabinet in upholding tho demand of the Notables for the control of the Budget, on the ground that the delegation of such power to the Assembly was a contravention of the international agreement with regard to the Egyptian finances, and would limit the powCr of the Controllers" General in dealing with the national debt. The Controllers-General further informed the Ministers that they claimed the right to have a voice in the preparation of the entire budget. EGYPriAM ASSURANCES. CAIRO, February Otb. In consequence of the protest of the Anglo-French Controllers-General, the Egyptian Government has taken occasion to explain to the | Consuls-General for England and France, thai the fact that the Assembly of Notables will have power to vote the Budget will in no way interefere with the rights which are exercised by the British and French Controllers over the financial and other departments of State.

CONFERENCE OF TEMPER ANCE WORKERS.

Y3STJSRDAY.

An interesting and fairly attended con ference of temperance workers was opened last erening in-the Temperance Hall. Mr George Hemus in the chair. The business of the evening consisted in reading and dis cussing two papers, the first by Mr J. W. Carr on "The history of the Temperanco Cauac in Auckland," and the second on the question ot "Compensation" by Rev. S. Kdger, B.A. Among the audienco we noticed many of the earliest of Auckland workers, and a considerable number of interested citizens. Mr Carr's brief history, or rather outline w of the ups and downs and progress of temperance, was listened to with respectful attention, bat the time allowed was inadequate to the production of more than an outline. Mr Can's remarks were based on his own recollections, reaching back to 1842, before tho outbreak of the Johnny Heko war. The local movement was actually oommenced in an unfinished house in High-street. That meeting was attended by John Hobertaon, John Hunter, C. Kobinson, Joshua Kobinson, Joseph Robinson, John Williamson, Joseph New man, McNair, and others. Subsequently Mr Firttejmd Dr. Fisher advocated the cause, amra hall was taken in Victoria street ; open air meetings were also hold in Queen-street, and the people were attracted thither by the ringing of a bell. The terrors of war had a depressing eilect Upon the minds of the people, md lessened the influence of the friends. The first tea meeting was held in the Exchange Hotel. The supposed cure for drunkenness was the stocks, and many women suffered the degrading punishment. The public lecturers of that period were Messrs Hart and Griffiths. l-IMany persons who were members of churches joined the movement; but the ministers mostly were antagonistic, and the principal merchants were personally interested in grog-selling, and were not disposed to sacrifice large profits in favour of humanity. The Kawau Total Abstinence Society was established, chiefly by Cornish miners, and progressed for a time: some of its principal leaders, however, sadly fell. In Auckland, the desire to secure a public house resembled a rush to a gold-field. There was a period of quietude, when the cause appeared to be ay&g out. The late Mr Archibald Clark became a constant friend and an active promoter of the movemeut. Messrs JJ all wasser, Forsyth, and ma»y of the clergy, amongst them the Bey. T. Buddie, gave valuable assistance. A dep6t was estab lished and property was acquired. There was a fresh impetus given to the move ment in Auckland by the Good Templar movement in England. In the early dajs of the colony it was found that danger was to bo apprehended from the drinking customs, not only to the Europeans but to the Maoris. The first local pamphlet appeared, "Why and Because," by Eliza Wakefield, a Tem perance League was formed, and long and short pledges taken. A sketch of the elo quence and ruinous fall of Barney Reynolds was given, and brief notices of successive events down to the present time. . The sketch was received with cheers, and will be found useful as a "help" to the future historian of Auckland. The Chairman (Mr Hemus) hoped the friends would supple ment Mr Carr'a paper with recollections of their own, Mr J. Robinson—being the oldest teetotaller in the room—was invited to speak, and having complimented the writer of the essay, thought he ought to have given the movement a primary plane among our institutions, for ia spite of au difficulties it had made good progress. Tho speakers who followed were Messrs Cherry, .Tlrame, S. Hemus, Jeune, and one or two others.

Compknsatiow.—The noxt paper was by Rev. 8. ttdgnr, 8.A., in which ho treated' on "Compensation to the Publican," which be had prepared for a previous occasion, but which was not giver, at the time. Mr Edger considered that Dr. Wallis had failed in his advocacy oE compensation by overlooking two im portant questions—(l) For what, specifically, was compensation to be given? (2) Who was to give it? Many things were taken away from people after a long period of enjoyment and possession without anybody dreaming that they were to be compensated. The owner re sumed possession at bis property which he had Jet for a period, to another without any compensation being thought of.~ Mr Edger's arguments were stated with clearness and sound reasoning, and gave general satisfaction. It would be mani festly unfair to give extracts from ah essay which should be read in its complete form. As it will be published by the society, tha public will have an opportunity of judging of its arguments, and of its merits as a literary composition. On the sugges tion of Mr William Leys* it was agreed that the paper be published. Mr Edger said lie would hand the paper to this committee with pleasure* but on the con ditions that if not Minted it should be re turned 10 him entire, and if printed that proofs would be furnished to him for cor rection, Votes of thanks were accorded unanimonaly to the writers, and the pro ceedings closed with Mr Macdermott's an nouncement of succeeding papers.

TIIIS AfcTtfROON. The Conference was retained this after noon in the Temperance Hall, Albert* street. After the minutes had bcea con firmed, tbo following paper, prepared by Mr John Lamb on " The Licensing, Act," was read:—" Tbe subject given to me is "The Hew Licensing Act," and we may ask the questions—How ia it we have got the new Licensing Act—and what is the reason of the change ? Ia it due to tbe general conviction that the late licensing system was bad ? or that tin; late licensing law was badly administered ? The licensing magistrates, justices or commiisioners belong, generally speaking, to that stratum of society where we may expect; to find in-

telligenco, integrity, aud capacity; the men who iwve occupied the Bench in the Licensing Courts bare. Often been con spicuous for their high character, both in the commercial and religious world. Still, the Hocusing law has failed, and failed to a large extent, through its faulty ad ministration. This may, in some measure, be explained by the fact, or from the nature^ of the licensing law, worthless men finding a very congenial sphere of action in tho Licensing Court, And here, too, some ot the less Creditable Characteristics of our poor humanity find ready development. In a criminal Court, a stupid magistrate or justice is pretty well guided by the legal gentlemen attached to tho court, and so aft kept, from notoriously going astray; nor is tbere very much inducement to depart from the path of rectitude in the cases they are mostly called upon to deal wi'h. But it ik otherwise in the Licensing Courts-, Xhe discretion of the magistrates, justices, or commissioners has been the main principle to which appeal was blade, and if there was ignorance or Worse on the" Bench, it had full play. Hence the notorious fact that in a Licensing Court the least esteemed of our justices were generally most regular in their attendance, arid the moat active in granting licenses. The very fact of such men being always present end taking an active part has sometimes lad the better men among tho magistrates and justices to stay away, and thus, as these two elementsjhad freer scope,' the law became proportionately worse. One of the worst forms which this maladminstration of the law took—cue which most meets the public eye—was the granting or renewing, of licenses in opposi tion to the well-known wishes of the people of the locality, One of the most glar* ing instances of this class wag lately accomplished in the Northern Wairoa dis trict. The petition presented to the Bench for the license was signed by people living nearly 200 miles away, and was gives effect to, while the petition from the residents was ignored, and the wishes of the people in the locality set aside; and when a fair opportunity occurred of pre venting a license being granted; the Licensing Court was not found equal to the occasion. Kveryone will admit that these licensed houses are too numerous in the country. They are found at the corner of crery street in our cities, and, in rural dis tricts, where "peace and prosperity would reign, they are there ap a temptation, and very often bring misery and ruin to families around them. The new Licensing Act, that has now become law in the land, is a stop in advance, and, 1 would say, a step in the right direction, It now gives the power to the inhabitants of any district to elect men to administer this important Act, and it would be well to keep one point generally in view, viz,, that those to be elected to ad minister tbe licensing law should be men of the highest intelligence, charac ter, and local position. I hold that tbe entire coinufunity should be interested in this. There is nothing so fruitful as this drink curse for bringing poverty, idleness, crime, disease, and death. How many fair homes have been wrecked and ruined in this land by the incubus that hangs round us Hue a mill-stone. The wise and the good should consider this well, and by their example -and precept endeavour to blot out this fell destroyer from onr fair country. And now I would further remark that the power of the liquor traffic must come down, and that by the voice of the people. We most seek that its influence may be diminished by gradual and safe degrees, but I would warn our opponents both inside and outside oar Legislature, that nnder the pressure of worse trade, heavier taxes, and deeper dis tress than that the- country has lately passed through, we may find onr statesmen andVour political economists compelled to adopt more summary measures ot relief than even this Act gives, The country knows well that whatever measure of reform may be adopted, it must be founded in the voice of the people, which Is in reality Local Option. We would remind our friends the enemy of the crisis so sud denly and unexpectedly reached in the movement for the suppression of the moral incubus and national reproach of America, how schemes for its gradual extinction were in a moment almost set aside, till in the throes ot a great national convulsion, slavery fell of its own enormity, and never can exist again. It would be impossible to determine the extent of national misfor tune that should suffice to rouse the people of these lands to a sense of their injuries, and to the immediate and universal removal of this social incubus. And God grant that no deeper wrong be ever Inflicted on us; God grant that industry may neverba more fruit less, that taxation may never be increased, that food may never be less plentiful. But wo must more than pray-^we must work. We must disconrage idleness; we must pro mote economy, we must prohibit waste ; or if the idleness, the extravagance, and the destruction of the human race occasioned by strong drink are to continue, reason will approve,of restriction—in fact this Act gives us the power—to the actual necessities of the case. Policy will ap prove of an intelligent people being called upon to sayifitbenecossary,andoncouragod to effect reform by its widening facility. Justice will approve, and those who suffer tbe effect should have the power of prohibiting the cause. And if reason, policy, and justice thus en dorse the principle for which we contend, no opposition that a vested interest can sustain will arrest the strong current of the popular will, or quell the demand of the people for a direct privilege so essential to their happi ness, their prosperity, and their peace.' Our plea and appeal, then, may bo summed up in the well-known words, " Let the voice of the people decide."

CORRESPONDENCE.

OUTBREAK OF FEVER AT PUKEKOHE,

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—Allow me to correct the inaccuracies in your account on the 9th inst. re the above outbreak. The disease is not tyuhns, but scarlet fever, The boy William Shaw has been working with the Messrs itoutly as a servant for the last 11 months, and on the*l4th of January went to Auckland to visit his parents, whoraside nearMountEdenßoad. ttextdayhevinited the houses of two acquaintance,"]) Larder, in Water-street, and Hedley, in Mount Eden Road, and stayed in. these houses some time talking with the inmates. Two or three days afterwards, when playing in the street with some boys, they warned him not to go to these two homes because they had scarlet feVSr in them. Sow, he tiajs that tbe people themselves did not tell him so, or say anything to him to keep him AivUy, and he did hot find any smell of any, disinfectant about either of them; He also says that one boy, LaJrder, I think, who had just bOeil vceovcred a Week from the fever, was allowed to play with them in the street. Shaw returned hero on the 24tb; and on the 27th suffered from a sore throat and vomiting. Not having said Anything to the R'dutly's about | Larder or Hedley, this was looked upon as a cold dad treated accordingly by them. On this 2nd February, John Hourly, and on the 3rd, Daniel and Moses iiouty, became ill with sore throats and gteneral symptoms of fever i but I was not efcnt for until the 7th, When I found John and Daniel suffering from scarlet fever bf a malignant type, llley both died next day. On the Bth I visited Moses, who is residing on another farm. In his case the disease is not malignant, and he is doing well sc far. I then examined the boy Slmwi and found desquamation of the skm on one ley, thus proving that he alio had had scarlet. fever, and had been the means ol Importing the disease, JNpw, in conclusion, will you allow me to ask how many more country people are to be thus legally murdered by the wisedcres in Auckland neglecting to stamp out the lisease or take any steps towards doing so, This is tbe second time scarlet fever has been imported into this district lately with fatal results; Tbo first occurred nearly three months ago. There is no hesitation in prosecuting poor farmers if they hegleot to report or take steps to stamp out disease amongst sheepi but sheep would appear tt> bfc more valuable than human beings, since there have not been any protections for offences against the Health Act, If thiisc were carried out as rigorously as the former, scarlet fever would soon be stamped out.—Yours, &c, . Jas. Dalzikl; L.R.C.P.E., &c. F.S. -No case has occurred since thoso mentioned above.
