TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1882.

For the cause that lades asslstanct. For the wrong that needs rosisUnoi For tho future in the .distance. And the good that wo can do.

The meeting between tbe Native Minister and Tawhiao yesterday ended in nothing. In fact, it appears as though the meeting might as well have been lelt unconvened, and the causes now in operation for the opening ot the conntry permitted to take their course. Many people believe the land 'will be thrown open for settlement whether Mr Bryco builds tha canoe or not— sooner pethaps than is generally antici pated. Tawhiao, as will be seen by our lolegraphic nport, wished Mr Bryce to lenew the offers of Sir Donald McLean and Sir George Grey, and intimated that he would have come to terms with the latter but for tbe interference of one man. Ihero seems to be some doubt who tbe peison re ferred to is. Te Wgakau said he was the man, but we understand Tawlu-io to apeak of a pakeha. There was much amiuement among tbe Datives V7ben Mr Bryce refened to Te Wheoro for a character, but tbo most sin gular thing in the whole business was the declaration of both Tawhiao and Mr Bryce that they would sponk fiankly with each other, keeping nothing back, whereas neither speaker said what he meant, except generally—both keeping their whole minds back. Tawhia) sat up pretecsions that were ridiculous, and he knew them to be such. Mr Bryce only talked generally. If he had any offer to make to Tawhiao, he kept it back. We believe Tawhiao hns set bis mind on a pens;on, buX he said nothing on the matter. Thus both speakers publicly falsified their avowed intention?. It was diplomacy simply on botn tides. All that was said about Tawh;ao and Waikato amounted to this: "The Government consider Tawhiao a givat chief." Bat the Maniaootos say ihoy knew that before. Our special correspondent says Tawhiao felt more difficulty in speaking yfisterrlay than ever before : not knowing what 1o say. He evidently fcel-s the insecurity of his posi tion—deserted by most of his powerful ad herents; a king deposed, apparently, as other kings have been, against his will There was no linieh to the meeting, none were wiser than when they went there. The natives were to havo held a meeting armmg themselves at Whititvhatihoe, last night, to dicusa Mr Bryee's intention of building a Maori canoe, but grog prevented the gathering, and it is not easy to predict what course the negotiations will take whoa the meet ing is again assembled, One thing, arid one only, must have become clear to Tawhiao—that he made an irreparable mls> take in refusing the offers of Sir George Grey ; and if he judges of tbe future by the past, he must feel that every year his poai tion is becoming more difficult, and his personal ptospects more hopelessly gloomy.

A pamphlet has beea issued purporting to give n complete report of the address on " The Signs of the Times,1 delivered hy the Rev. Joseph Cook in the Opera tiouse. We can picture the lev. gentleman's dismay upon receiving a copy of this brochure. Given in the h'rac peraon, which implies that the report is verbatim, it hrisllea with inaccuracies, and makes tbe lecturer rwponfib'e for absurdities, a p?rusal of which are enough to make his hairßtand on end and his blood curdle. We 'ake one passage, which fs a fair sample of the Mndering of nearly eveiy argument employed by- the lecturer. The tfev, Joseph Cook (according to the short-hand notes of our reporter) said :— "It is no more wonderful that we should live again than that we should live at all. It is less wonderful that we should continue to live than that we began to live. This reasoning applies alike to the wicked nnd the holy; and there Is do standing ground either for annihilation as a doctrine or con ditional immortality. If you faca the oat come of scientific research you must admit thig. It is less wonderful ihat this force shon'd weave, for us in another world a body of tbe finest texture tban that ie should have woven onr preßent bodies out of ihe stiff loam clay of thi« world." And now we shall quote for enm paiison £he tautological noosenso which represents in the pamphlet the above forcible and vigorously worded passage :— "It is no more wonderful that we_ should begin to live than that we should Jive ; it is It sa wonderful that we should continue to live, than that wo began to live. This reasoning applies alike to the wicked and the holy, and there is no standing ground for annihilation or con ditional immortality. It is lesa •wonderful that wp should continue to live than that life should be woven out of stiff loam clay." Let any sane man read the paragraph over again, ana say whether the great Boston Jtcturer could ever have given utterance to gficli etuff. We understand that there was no complete cpte of the jecturer's address taken and tbe i£po?t ijow printed in pamphlet fotm has been badly piiiteUef}. up. Hat to take such a coarse, and to give in the first pereon words which the lecturer never uttered,, making him thereby responsible for them in th,o mind of the reader, is an unwarrantable liberty; and js calculated to bring into ridicnle one of tfw most able addresses over delivered in this city. The pamphlet bears the impriut vi thn highly- respected and U3nnlly rgli&ble publishing firm Ward, Loch awl Co. We Btrongly advise the local agent to delay its

A correspondent says : -" Our venerable granny in Wyudhnm-street wonders why there are so many and such severe cases of riuumn,tism in the Hospital, in so eenial a climate as this, evidently not knowing that heat and moisture—its peculiarities-are most favourable for the development rf said disease Nor docs she know that rheumatism is a Greek word, siun'tying " evil ailoivt in the blood," and that a groat deal of it is inherited from our ancestor*, who contracted it at a time when drinking three bottles of fiery wine after dinner was considered tho correct thing to do, and CD.

Thompson after this saved Little Jack and did not lay him, his investment thus paying him very handsomely.

It is now certain that Dewes will not be able to no, whila Blair and Yates are very doubtful. It appoara probable that some important changes will yet have to be made, but the committee will endeavour to arraogo that the strength shall not ba weakened more than possible by the inability of any ot the present repre sentatives to go South.

Last night, there was a large attendance at the wcek'y meeting of St. James's Mutual Improvement Association, to hear the promised lecture on "The Spiritual Bordeilaod," by Mr G. O. Montrose. The chair was occupied by Mr H, G. Seth- Smith, Mr Montrose delincd his subject by alleging it to bo a reasonable presump tion that our present sla'e of existence, and our future stata, ate divided by a mathematical line, and the spaco lying linmmcdiatcly on either side of this line he called " tbo spiritual border'and" Disembodied spirits hover iog on the cenfines of tho other sUto might thus easily cioss into this terrestrial plane, indeed he was absolutely guie that they did co from having seen,and conversed with such spiritual b.-iog*. Tho lecturer then proceeded to illusrate his subject in easy and discursive sty'o by ic lating incidents in his own mediumUtic experience, and by recounting some of the wonderful feats pr.rformed (by spiritual means) by the fuVirs and mayc ans ot India. An account of a seance held nt Wellington was moot interest ing, arid well nigh as improbable aa one of j Swcdenbcrg's "memorablerehtions." The , lecturer cited fewedenbarg as an instance of one who communed with a very high , ordor of gpirite, and told of his predicting ' his own death, and of describing at tho moment of its occurrence a fire which took t place hundreds of miles away. In con- j eluding, Mr Montrose gave his opinion that the spirits woie usually of a low order, fometimes diabolic perhaps, avid that while thoro wore darioters to physic il and mental health iv ths purauit of the a udy, there was very little if anything of practical ue to be derived from it. A lively criticism . of the lecture followed, thowirg thfl,fc many of the members of the society bad investigated the subject, but in geiieral with dlsjppointinp; result?, j JJiillner'? " fourth diaicnaon of space," and ' tbc theory of " unknown force!) of n;iture," i were advanced as liclpinp; to throw light ou I the phenomena; but no one had t]iß temerity to tngge?t delirium tremcwfai tho inducing caiiso of the vision', though ono • gentleman broadly hinted at lunacy.

THE MELBOURNE CUP.

BEFORK another i=sae is in the hands of the readers ot the Star, the Melbourne Cup will bave become a milter of history. Thirty-two horses paid the fiual acceptance money ycsteiday, but fincc then three of them—Boolka, Navigator, and Guess wo;k-havc h'en scratched, leaving twenty-nine still in. De Mestre's stable is represented by Sweet Y\illiam, Gudnrz, and Sylvanus, and 1 be lieve that his selection will turni h the winner. It is, however, a very difficult matter to toll under which thimble the pea i». Both Gudarz and Sweet William carry very largo sums of pnbl'c money, and boh hor.-cs bave beau liocrally backed in doubles, with Navigator, for tho Derby. Sweet William is generally supposed to be the selected of the stable, but thh is by do means cevta:n. A victory Lv tho speedy son of Yattendon, who is reputed to te in the very "pink" of condition, would cause many metallicians to close tbeir shutters. Mr Branch still has four horses in, viz, Mistaken, Liitle Jack, Belmont, and Essex, aud uo one appears to have the ' least suspicion which hortc the stable intend running (for their money. As it is frequ ntly the " unexpected thnthappen?,'1 I shall not be surprised to find trat subse quent events will show Bolmont to be Mr Branch's ultimate selection, although this colt did not score a win last season, his performances at Adelaide were ye y respectable. On previous performance I would like (o men tion t irst Water us laving a good outsido show, but am informed by cablegram tbat he is an improbable star'er. Absolute belief cannot, however, be pinned to these statements about hor.es not likely to come to the post, Zuln, the winner of the Cup last year, having been mentioned the day before the race as an improbable starter. After weighing the chances I think Branch's suble-Sweet William for choice —will furnish the ■winner, with Mr Branch's selection, First Water or fctock welJ, not far away at tho finish. Ch&val.

MR BRYCE'S VISIT TO TAWHIAO.

(Feoji ova Special Coebespondent.)

ALEXANDRA, ihisday. Thkrk was no meeting last night after all, owin»totome ivaipirau having got in the head of some of the leading people. This, however, has been determined on, that the Waikatos must bo provided for by the Go vernment first, when Maniapoto will see what is done and be generous to Tawhiao if generosity was wonted. When Tawhiao was talking yesterday he sent for Wabanui and Taonui to come aud aid him in the talking. Both tcfusrd to do bo, saying that ho sh»uld have asked them several days previously. Waha iui said Tuonui could do so if no liked, but the latter said he had no bu-iness to doso. He was with his own people, When M Brycc was .talking about tlic sovereignty of the law, you could see 'Jawhiao's laca lengthen perceptibly, as sentence after sen tence fell, but the elongation became longer when Mr Bryce finished up without making any oiler. It is absurd to tbiuk that any private arrangement can bo made with the ctiiifs. They will have no moro mys'ory, Ail shall bo done, they say, in hearing of the children. There shall h* no tribes ; all shall be open. I would like to sliaw attention to the fact that wherever you go in the district jou hear complaints of the unprincipled parsimony of the native office, accounts itinding oter several years, in tome in stances, for large amounts certified to by the native district officer ns correct, rtfus.'d payment, the Government apparently wait it g for the Stutute of Limitations to c«ncel thu debt. Mr Butler has gone kiwi hunt ing at Pirongia, The catle presented to Mr Bryce by Tawbiao, which Mr Finch, the Alexandra hotel-keeper, hoped to see sold to pay for Tawhiao's grog bill at the opening of the bridge, have been given by the Native Minister to the Mayor of Hamilton to help to pay tho cxpen es cf the reception of J awhiao at Hamilton. Tim Mayor had to take Hism from Mr Tis Jill's out of the pound, where they wero graz;ng, paying twelve pounds poundage money,

This would thoroughly to t the reef for ovor 1,200 f?ot.

After a selection from "Martha," excelently rendered by tbe band, Miss Gribblo sang Donizetti's "Com 6 bcllo" and "London Bridge," and was warmly applaudeJ. This was succeeded by a cornet tolo by Btndmaster Hunter, and a cnniio soDg by Mr Geyrxe Kted.

TONGA.

(FiMMI OCTR 01\\<T CORBESPONDEXT.)

Toxga, October 1. THE PREMIER RESIGNED ASD WAS KE-APPOINTED.

Our Parliament is still sitting. TVe have had something like a Mini.teml crisis. The Premier (the Rev. Shirley Baker) and the other Cabinet Ministers felt a litt'e irae at the speech of one of the chiefs who. professes t) h?. an exponent of the mission cause, and whose ear is at the service of the Opposition whittshere, and so they ten dered their resignations for ihe purpose, we believe, of eliciting an expression from the Parliament. The King not only would not listen to anythic? of the kind, but wanted to know if they wished to see ToDga over* board, and the Parliament, through the speaker, apologised for the said speech, and a unanirmus expression of conlidence was givi n in the Premier, There are not many new lass as yet passed the Parliament, but wbat have passed are of great importance, notably, the Laud Law and ihe Education Act. Tue latter is something similar to what was passed by the Kius in Council Lst jear ; but the new land law has ■so far given r great satisfaction to all part'o3, chiefs and commoners. It was passad unaaimeusly by the Legisla tive Assembly, and only waits the royal signature, which it is almost cc tain to have.

The returns ot the revenue and expendi tuaforthe last two years hive been laid before Parliament. It is somewhat gratifying to find that notwithstanding tho many Government improvements which, have been made, yet there are some thousands of dollars to the good. A very prosperous state of affaire. Mr Godeffroy, in connection with the lar^e German firm in these parts, has gone homo, and W. Yon Treskirj, the manager here iv Tonja, has now full charge of the company's affairs.

The now American Consul, a Dr. Oanisuis. has arrived iv Samoa. It is' reported he is to be Contul-Generat for the S;uta Pacific Ls'aud*—another proof of the growing impedance of the island trade.
