For the cause, that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistauo* For the future in the distance. And the good that we can do.

Our cable news to-day is rather conflicting with regard to th o diplomatic aspect of tho Egyptian difficulty, and is calculated to arouse fresh anxiety. One despatch states that the Great Powers as a whole decline to interfere in Egypt, and will not agree to depute any particular Powers to act on behalf of tho European concert. Against this we havo the statement made by Earl Granville in the House of Lords, that the European Powers generally approve of the present action of Britain in Egypt. The noble fearl further stated that a most cordial agreement existed between Eng and and France in regard to Egypt, which ho hoped would bring about a settle ment of the difficulty; but this is contra dicted by another report, which statos that France is showing an inclination to hold aloof from active alliance with Britain, and wiU only operate in Egypt to the extent of protecting a portion of the Suez Canal. There has never been much reliance placed upon France in the course of the recent nego tiations, and the fickleness of her action has seemed to betoken alternate confidence, fear, and jealousy of "perfidious Albion." Throughout all, however, the policy of Britain has been steadily and consistently followed, and now, when there is a likeli hood of her standing alone, there is no sign of wavering or indecision. This attitude must, we think, ultimately secure tho un» equivocal support of France, as also of Italy and Spain, despite the covert menace of the weaker Powers which is conveyed by the non-intervention policy of Germany and Anstria,

From tho seat of war we have news of an exciting character, Arabi Pasha has pro claimed a Jehad or religious war, and the people are flocking to hia banner in thou sands. An encounter has taken place between the British and Egyptian troops at Ramlch, a village about three miles from Alexandria. The Egyptians being defeated, the British occupied the village; and an attempt by Atabi's soldiers to re take the place was successfully repulsed. Arabi's cavalry, while advancing" on the village, were shelled by the British fleet; and this item shows how the guns of the ironclads could be effectually used to protect Alexandria from assault on the land side. There have been fur ther massacres of Europeans at Tantah, between Alexandria and Cairo, and shock ing atrocities are said to have been per petrated by the Egyptians upon cheir victims. Ragheb Pasha, a trusted adviser of the Khedive, has been discovered to be . in league with the rebel?, which shows that not only the people of Egypt, but the Administration, is completely honeyoombed with sedition. Again we have rumours of a threatened water famine at Alexandra; the water supply of the city is stated to be steadily diminishing, and unless measures are adopted to restore the communication cut off by Arabi Pasha, muchhardehip, it is feared, will be experienced. There are some edit water condenseis in the posses sion of the British fleet, but these can con dense no more than ia needed for the daily supply of the forces in the fleet and city. The British are fortifying Ramleh, and it is not unlikely that a stubborn fight will shortly take place for the possession of this village.

Australian black swans are reported to have become very plentiful at Kaipara Heads. Flocks of seventy have been seen on one lake alone.

The Highway Hoard in tend that before next winter the sheets will bo lighted with gas.

Several inaccuracies, which call foi correction, appeared in our report of the meeting of A. A. Stephenson's cieditors. The debtor, for instance, was v fancy yoods dealer and not a grocer, while the organ re ferred to was not obtained by Mr Carbines in exchange for lending the debtor some of the furniture that he had bought from him, but was gLvou him to sell, and this he did, privatoly, obtaining for it £22 lO.s.

The " Bible Standard " for August is full of interesting aud instructive reading, and possesses its wonted healthful tone. Among the principul articles, especially noticeable, are tho "Spirit of Ainu," "Tho Pretensions of Scepticism," aud the " Hopo of Patriarchs and Apostles." A number of thoughtful extracts fromauthorsof celebrity, a poem, and current church events aid considerably in sustaining the character of this useful serial.

Thompson's Colossal Mirror of the Zulu War was largely patronised last night at Abbott's Opera House, nnd much satisfac tion manifested at the treat provided by the nrtist, and the descriptive lecture by Mr Thompson. Tho splendid piano was presented to Miss Robinson, of liaidiugo street. Miss Robinson is employed as a domestic servant at Mr Youngs, Sixty other presents were made — of msro or less value. This evening nbtut 100 gifts will be distributed, and to-morrow evening n prize of a valuable oil-painting is offered for the best conundrum on the Zulu War.

Bishop Sclwyn preached an imprcisive sermon, last evening, iv St. Paul's Cathe dral Church, taking his text from Ephe siass, eh. 2, v. 13, "Without God in the World." Tbe subject was handled in a comprehensive mauner, charactciised by much earnestness a»d thought. In the absence of Mr Forrest, who was unable to be preseut through indisposition, Mr John A. Bcale presided at the orgau. The Bishop leaves Auckland to-day for the scene of his missionary labours.

A public meeting of business pooplo re siding in Unehunga is convened fer to-mor row, in the Council chambers, to consider the correspondence with the Government on tho subject of wharf charges, and determine what shall be done,

A gentleman named Leigh,representing a number of (Australian capitalists, has re cently visited the Te Aroha goldtield, for the purpose of reporting to his principals on tho prospects of the district, with the ultimate view no doubt of investing there, Mr Leigh expressed himself perfectly satis fied with what ho had seen, the only donbt arising in his uiind being the security of tenure. To assure him on that point, a meeting was held here yesterday, when Mr Kentick, Warden of the goldtields, fully ex plained to Mr Lciglj the nature of the tenure. At tho conclusion of tho meeting, ho expressed himself satisfied that the tenure was ot such a naturo that ho would report favourably to his principals.

Mr Kohler's waxwork exhibition wan again attended by numbers of town and country visitors, who evinced pleasure in looking upon the models of persons famous and iniamous in connection with the age. We have soon itme of tbe originals in per son, and must confess that thoy are striking likenesses. We notice especially Charles Bradlaugb, tho Radical member for Not tingham. Peabody is ropresentaiivc of the man. but his head is rather too large. Acnin, the head of Air Gladstone is too email, and scarcely faithful. Still the figures, without exception, giro a very good Idea of the individuals they aro intended to pourtray. The music adds to tho interest of the exhibition.

At the folico Court, Onehunga, on Wed nesday, Mrs Elizabeth Pearce, of One. hunga, made an application under the lG7th clause of tho Licensing Act to restrain pub licans and others from supplying her hus band, John Pearce, with drink, Mrs Pearco having proved to the satisfaction of

the Court that her husband had wasted his

means of living, disturbed the peace of the family, and injured bis health by a coutso of drinking, the order was grnntod for 12 months by Mr Macdonald, R.M, it is expected tbat several oth«r similar applica tions will bo made shortly at Onehunga,

The progress made by the suburb of Mount Eden during the past two or three years is something astonishing. Buildings have extended iv an almost unbroken chain for two miles along the Mount Eden Road from Eden Terrace, and in other parts of tbe district evidences of rapid progress are equally apparent. Last year the annual rateable value of nroperty in the district was £6800, and tbe amount of rates col lected, £340. For the current year the valuation is £8303, and the rates collected £415, being an increase on annual value of £1503—25 per cent.— nnd on rates collected of £75. Another proof of the prosperity of Mount Eden is the fact that the total amount of unpaid rates does not exceed £8.

A curious point, and one especially of interest to residents in districts working under the Highway Board system, was raised at the annual meeting of the Mount Eden ratepayers last evening. A proxy was presented to tho scrutineers signed by Mr J. McElwain, and witnessed by himselt as Justice of the Peace, Ihe document was submitted to the chairman of the meeting (Mr T. Thompson), who ruled that lit should he admitted, though he was not certain regarding its legality. The point raised appears to us to be analogous to the question put by a clergyman to his bishop— "Can a man marry himself J" to which the bishop, adopting the reductio ad absurdam, replied, "Can a man bury himself I" The idea of a man witnessing bis own signature is quite as ridiculous.

Few highway districts can show a more unsatisfactory financial position than Kar angahape. The statement of accounts sub mitted at the meeting last night had the appearance at first blush of being most satis factory, but pertinent questions by several inquisitive individuals revealed the as tonishing iact that tho liabilities of the dis trict amounted to £688, or, in other words, that the rates for the ensuing year were mortgaged, and after they were all col lected, there would still be a deficiency of something like £110. Mr Bevin explained that works to the extent of £550 had been contracted for before the trustees took office. Several ratepayers expressed in forcible language that the retiring trustees should be re-elected, in order tbat they might extricate the Board from its financial difficulties.

The Mission schooner, Southern Cross, will sail to-morrow evening, at 3 p.m.

_ In reply to tho letter from the City Coun cil asking that the Government bring the " Contagious Diseases Act "into force in Auckland, a lettor has been received; from the Colonial Secretary asking if the Coun cil understand that they will be required to bar Ihe expenses of the operation of this Act. As the Council thoroughly under stood this, the next step will probably be an Order-in-Council proclaiming Auckland a district under the Act.

There appears to be an impression on the public mind that unnecessary delay in taking place in the payment of the promised reward to Barlow, the capturer of Wininta, but this idea does not seem to be borne out by facts." According to the tetms of the agreement, the reward was to be paid on conviction, and on the Monday after the conclusion of the trial Barlow sent in to Mr Superintendent Thomson a claim for £500, and tbat gentlemen forwarded it on to Wellington by the mail which left on tbe following day, with the recommendation that the claim he paid at once. There has not yet been time to receive an answer, but one is expected next week. Batlow has also petitioned tbe Government for a grant of land at Man gere, the argument used being that after recent events it would be dangerous for him to return to tbe district where he formerly resided. We understand that any reward which the police officers may receive for their share in the capture will not have anything to do with Barlow's £500, but will be paid from tho Constabulary Be ward Fund.

We are asked to add the names of Mr W. E. Anderson (the whaif) aud Captain P. H. Anderson to those who are receiving subscriptions for the unfortunate Mrs Pit corn, so recently widowed by the drowning of her husband.

We are glad to see Mr V. E. Kice about again after his long illness. He is still, however, very weak and has been ordered by the doctor to take a sea voyage. He will leave, therefore, by the missionary schooner Southern Cross for Norfolk Island.

With reference to the proposal to connect the Tiritiri lighthouse with tho city by tele graph, we may state that the length of cable required to unite the. island with Waiwera —the nearest telegraph-station—is about l_ miles.

A correspondent, " S.

Wc nre informed that a mistake was made iv the statement of Simon Peter llarjes's financial position recently tele graphed. His liabilities were stated in the message to be £6'S5 and the assets £1400 odd, thus leaving a credit balance of tome thing like £800. The items, however,were probably transposed, through some error in transmission, the liabilities really amount ing to £1400, while the assets consisted of the £655 found iv his possession. This amount will be divided proportionately amongst the Australian and Now Zealand creditors.

The rocent mishap to tho ferry steamer Alexandra will prove a heavy item of ex pense to the company. Tenders were called for repairs, and icsulted in the lowest estimate being something like £700. An arrangement hap, however, been made with Messrs Sims aud Brown, by which that firm receive about £350 for repairs to the steamer alone, Mr R. M, Stark having undertaken to superintend the engine work, which will be done with day labour by Messrs Frnser aud Tinnc's workmen.

Tho adjourned meeting of ratepayers of the Arch Hill Highway District will be held this evening in the school-room, at 7 30., when tho election of trustees for the ensuing year will bo proceeded with, On Thursday last fourteen candidates were pre posed, viz:—Messrs.

A dii-graccful fracas between two old Devonport residents was the principal at traction at tho meeting of ratepayers in that district held last evening. The casus belli is said to have been an old standing family grievance between the opponents, tho feelings of each having been worked up to fighting pitch by tho animating proceed ings of that evening's discutsion. One of the members of tha Hoard was charged with making private roads at public ex pouso, and denied tho accusation. The Foreman of Works seemed inclined te cast oil' all authority, and general uproar, in fact, characterised the whole pioceodin<js. A lull report of tbe meeting appears in another column, and is well woithy of perusal.

A correspondent, who is vory much exer cised because tho Government have not yet passed Barlow the reward for capturing Winiata, writes : If this is the way bravery is to be treated, we may bid good-byo to the apprehension of any future Maori mis creants ; for what good are the police.or why have they not apprehended Te Kooti, &C, before this time. I have not the least doubt the police are very hard at work making f pokes to fit into tho wheel which Barlow hai so faithfully made already.

The bovine monster, known as the Tichborne bullock, that is now on exhibi tion in the stables by the side of C, IS. Smith's, fruiterer's, in Queen-street, is, without doubt, a notable curiosity. In Bize and bulk no animal of its species at all approximating to it has ever previously bccnsein in Auckland. Its dimensions are stated to be : height, 7ft 2in ; length, 12ft 6in ; round the girth, 10ft 3in ; across the hips, 3ft Gin ; from wither to brisket, sft 4in ; weight, 3,2001b«. It was bred at Powerscourt station, Gippsland, and the present owner intends taking it to England for exhibition. It is not in tho best condi tion at present, but its immense frame is not less striking on this account.

We understand that Simon Peter Harjei, the levanter, has been liberated at Ade laide, under a writ of Habeas Corpus. No information has yet been received regard ing the arguments used ti secure bis release, but it is more than pobablc that some technical point has been inrncd to his advantage. Under these circurmlances it is very improbable that we shall sou Mr Harjes in Auckland again, although he volubly asserted to a local gentlemen who was recently in Adelaide, his desire to come back and see all " the old friends."

Mr Coster, of the New Zealand Shipping Co,, who has been here some days, left to day. His ostensible business was to obtain a siding at Lyttletou fer the Loan and Mercantile Agency. lam told that the main business, however, was to lay some proposals before the Government as to adopting a direct steam communication with England. Although the matter has been discussed, no determination, I am told, has been come to.

The Draughtg Buildings.

Mr J. C. Brown a»ked his question re the proper ventilation of the Chamber, and the draughty state of tbe committee rooms. He had caught severe colds him self, and was certain that the late illness of the Treasurer was from the same came. He next referred to the gentlemen of the press, four of whom had been dan gerously ill, aud had not yet recovered. Mr Johnston said he would put a sum on the entimates to avoid the vitiated atmos phere of the Chamber,

Longlmrst's Case.

In the House this afternoon considerable iuteroit was manifested in the Longhur«t case. In answer to Mr Sutton as to whether it was a fact that, shortly after the conviction of Longhurst, a witness, whose evidence went in the direction of proving that the prisoner was not guilty of the offence of which he had been' convicted, communicated the information to the Government, the Colonial Secretary said : "It is not a fact that shortly after con viction the information was given as mentioned by the hon. member, and came before tbe Government. It is, no doubt, true that it was to a certain extent in the direction of the partial innocence of the prisoner, but we did not hear of it at all till a year after the prisoner was sentenced. Of course, as we did not hear of it for a year, it was not forwarded to us previous to the carrying out of the sentence. I believe that the fact that Dr Collins had been consulted was known both to the prosecution aud the defence, and it was also known to an oflicer of the Government, who stated that ne did not see anything in it comparatively of importance, and the result was that no action was taken in the matter. Six hon. members at once cried

" Shame I ahame I " but no response came from Ministers.

Mr Weston next asked his question as to whether, prior to the first or second whip ping inflicted upon Longhurst, the Govern ment had received any written or verbal communication from any perron relative to his guilt, or innocence, etc. Mr Dick replied: So far as I am aware, and I believe I may state truly and fully, there was no communication whatever sent to the Government as to tbe prisoner's guilt prior to the whipping being given. 'I here was no statemeut that the prisoner was not guilty. There was an effort to get him oft" the whipping by stating that his life would not stand it, but that was all. Mr Weston : Direct or indirect? Mr Dick: Direct or indirect, so far as I am aware. Mr Lovestam next asked' his question relative to tho statement regarding Dr. Collins, and asked the Colonial Secretary to amplify the information he had already given to the House on the subject Mr Dick: I did not say, as Mr Levestam has just stated, that a person connected with tho Government thought that Dr. Collins could have some important evi dence. I said that he knew that Dr Col lins knew of the case, but did not consider his evidence of any importance. That is all that the ofiicers of tho Government knew about the matter. There was no keeping back the fact in the evidence before the Court that Dr Collins did know of it. The prisoner's brother mentioned that Dr Collins knew about it, and the oiliccr of

tbe Government also knew about it, so that

it was known to both sides, and it was stated publicly in fact. It is to be pre sumed that Dr. Collins did not think muck of the evidence himself or he would Eurely

have given it, and it was not till about a year afterwards that it was reccired.

The rcsult,however,has been that there has not been sufficient to induce the Chief Justice or the Government to see reason to alter the decision of the Court. The matter i-i being brought up again, and is to c*me before the Supreme Court shortly, and therefore the Government cannot take any further action at present, but are carefully watching the matter, and the result of the trial will decide them as to what should be done hereafter.

Further Borrowing.

After the usual preliminary business, Major Atkinson moved that tbe House go into Committee of Supply, Mr Moss moved as an amendment, "That it is undesirable this session to go in for a further loan."

Mr Hurst made the longest speech he has done this session. Ho informed the House that the Government were not going to construct any new works, but endeavour to complete works now under construction. He maintained that they had broken their pledge to Knglish capitalists in an in direct way by borrowing again so soon. New Zealand had tasted blood, and until some misfortune or extreme difficulty over took them they would go on borrowing. He hoped the member for Parnell would withdraw his amendment, but at the same time he was persuaded that the opinion at Home was they had had enough of borrow ing.

Captain McKenzie thought the principal point to look at was, would the loan entail a further burthen on the tax payers ? He was well aware that railways in the South were paying well. He would vote with Go vernment.

Mr George thought the thanks of the House were due to the member for Parnell for bringing forward his resolu tion. For himself, be would say at the outset he was against aoy farther borrowing. Ho believed if they borrowed the proposed loan, they would never be able to pay off the interest. As it was, they had to pay £3 per head. He was averse to Major Atkinson's way of taxing the popula tion. Ho appealed to members to pause before again entering the money market. Out of 30 millions borrowed, he assured the Hou- o there had only been expended in his district £300,000, and the population was one twenty-fifth of the whole otthe colony. Mr MACANDREW appeared a little wroth tbat the subject of loan should come up at such a time. He had not had an oppor tunity to look at the Loan Bill. If the present question came to a division he would simply walk out of the House. Mr WbstoN said he did not consider that the time had arrived to discuss the question, and would vote on the present occasion with the Government. He deci dedly objected to the distribution of the last loan, and referred to the fact of drays and teams of horses being stuck up by bad roads near the Buller, and though he was not in favour of borrowing, he would vote with the Government,

Mr Petbie hoped the loan would not be considered fiom a Weßt Coast point of view.

Sir George Grey only said a very few words. He_ would give no expression of opinion until he had had an opportunity of inspecting the measuies. The House then divided,with the follow ing result: —

AYES, 28: Atkinson, Bryce, W. C. Buchanan (Wairarapa South), Dick, Driver, Feldwick, Fergus, Fitzgerald, Fulton, J. Green (Waikouaiti) Kail, W. Johnston

(Manawatu), Joyce, Lcvm, Mason, Mit chelson, O'Callaghan, Pearson, Petrio, Postlethwaite, Kollestou, fcutter, Trimble, Weston, J. Wilson (Kaiapoi), Wright, and Pilliett. m , , _ NOES : J. C. Brown (Tuapeka), l*eorgc, Hamlin, Levestam, F. W. McKenzie (Ma taura), Moss, Shepbard, Shtimski, Swan son, Tumbull, W. White (Sydenham). The House then went into Committee of Supply.

Raihvay Emirtoyes' Wages.

Sir George Grey is to ask to-morrow from what date will the increase of wages to the railway employes take place.

Auckland Suburban Post Offices,

Mr Tole will ask the Postmaster General to-morrow if he will cause arrangements to be made whereby the inhabitants of Eden Terrace, Newmarket, Epsom, and other suburban districts of Auckland, may be enabled to pat newspapers as well as letters in the various local post boxes,

Mr Seed.

Mr Shrimski asked Major Atkinson if it was true Mr Seed was leaving the Gov ernment service and about takiog another situation

Major, ATKINSON spoke in the highest terms of prase of Mr Seed. He said he was not iv a position to state positively iv the matter, but was led to believe Mr Seed was going. Mr Weston thought the Government should try and retaiu his services i£ he was so useful. Frtm what he could see, directly the Government had a good servant they allowed him to go. Was it, he asked, through not being properly paid? If it was, he hoped salaries would bo raised where necessary. When the House got fairly into Com mittee of Supply the members seemed in good humour. Ministers were not blow in taking advantage of it, and passed a con siderable portion of the estimates.

Bonus for Manganese Metal,

Mr Hobiss to-day asked the Government whether they will offer a bonus of £1,000 for the production, in the colony, of the first marketable 300 tons of metal, whereof manganese is a component part, the metals biini steel, ferro-manganese, spiegeleisen, or manganese bronze. Mr Ifobbs, in ask ing the question, spoke of tbe importance of the industry. .Ferro-manganese was u*ed by all steel refiners, both in England and on the Continent, and this metal gave Bessemer steel such a high rank. Manganese bronze propellers were con sidered the best that had been adopted by the British Government. Tne colony had offered a b inus to anyone who would manufacture 300 tons of pig iron, and the industry he had referred to was as important aj that of producing pi« iron. Besides, fifty men were now employed at the manganese mines at the Bay ot Islands, and this number would he in creased if the industry was encouraged, creating simultaneously a demand for charcoal which people could burn on their bash farms.

The Colonial Sscretaky said that the Government was very anxious to encourage a local industry so valuable as the one de scribed by the hon. member, but it was necessary to make further inquiries, which would be done as early as possible, and the amount which would be required to en courage the industry would also have to be determined.

Industrial Schools Bill.

The Auckland Industrial School Kcserve Bill ha? been introduced by message from tbe Acting-Governor. It provides for the sale of certaiu lands aud building", and tor the purchase of another site on which to erect new industrial schools, A lunatic asylum reserve is ap propriated as an endowment for an in dustrial school. The reserves dealt with aro lots 46, 48, and 49 of section 6, suburbs of Auckland, Otahuhu and Titiracgi dis tricts, containing 38 acres 1 rood 24 perches. The second reserve is section 55, city of Auckland, Waitemata survey district, con taining 3 acres.
