AN AMOROUS SURVEYOR.

Unpleasant Memlts.

The pjiicc authorities have just brought to a satUfictory iaae certain delicate nc getntioDS in respectof a matter up North that threatened at one time to cause a rup tare of the peaceful relations which bay* subsisted so long between the two races in th» Kaipjra district. Ie secnn that about a fortnight ago a Government »urveyor named Koss, who was engaged upon some operations near the Hoteo Bridge, gave in formation to Constable Neil McLeod, at VVarkworth, that a \ acht belonging to him, which had been moored in tbe Hoteo fciver, had bjen seized by the natives, together with all bis surveying instruments, the total value of the ab stracted p'opetty amonntine to sever*! hunrreds of pound*. The Constable saw tbat the case was one boot with difficulty, and he therefore referred the informant to Superintendent Thomson, who was accord ingly interviewed by bim in. doe course. By dintcf searching enquiry.the Supeiin tendent discovered that tbe Maoris had hid considerable provocation, and that they had simply put into practice their ancient law of muru.ot retaliation. He found oat that one of Ress's chainmen wa*> a Mieri possessed of a rather comely wife, who'hid been accustomed to pay pretty frequent visits to the Surveyor's camp, for the ostensible purpose of eeeing her hus band. It occurred to her Maori friends that she was becoming far more intimate thau was proper with toe chief of tbe party, and no me stepi were about to be taken to prevent a scandal when the dusky bcaoty mysteriously disappeared, Ber friends, however, traced htt to Warkwnrth, and thence to Auckland, when they discovered that she had bien shipped off to tome secure haven on the East Coast. The re sult of their investigations was the seizure of Rosa's yacht and impedimenta, as utu for the alleged seduction and elopement. Mr Thomson at once perceived the importance of acting with tbe utrao t circumspection, lest the Government should be placed in an awkward position, and he therefore brought tbe whole matter under the notice of the Native Minister. Mr Bryce at once wired to Mr Clendon, Kesident Magistrate for Whangarei, Mahuranpi, Port >lbert, &c, requesting him to do what he could in the direction of securing res titution of the appropriated property. Mr Clendon was engaged at tbe time with the Maori road squabble at Whangarei, bat he managtd to tea tbe natives on Wednesday last near Komokoriki, where they bad carried the vessel. They shewed themselves to be tractable and orderly, and when be infoimed them that they had broken the law, they promised to return tbe yacht and the other con fiscated goods, although they were greatly incensed at Ross's alleged dlshon^ ourable conduct. On Thursday evening last, the vessel was taken to Helensville and handed over to Constable I"atighton, and the owner found that not a thing had been tampered with or injured. Not even the spirits had bctn touched. An inquiry into the charges made against Ko>s is now being carried on by the Chief Surveyor. The accu<cd individual is said to be in town at present, and it is reported, with wbat amount of truth we know not, tnat be has been dismissed from the Government service, if the Maoris' version of the affair be the correct one, this is tbe least the authoii ies could do.

General Summary,

London, Octoeeh 30 to Novbmbxb 20,

Muring the performance to-night at the Globe Taeafre of Tennyson's new drama, "The Promise of May," the Marquis cf Quetnsberry twice arose and protested again t Tennysou's representation of the principles! of freethought, wbich, he Slid, was a trivestry en ttie sentiments of free thinkers. The drama is conceded to be ihe worst play that has been brought out here la miiiy years Mr Trnnyaon hold* up a freethinker tj public odium as the motive of his play. The Maquis promptly denounced the Laureate daring the first act, and on the fall of the curtain made a violently impassioned harangue to the audience. It made a great sensation, but his Grace was put oat of the theatre. The affair has become the occasion of a wide spread discussion in print and out of it.

He presented a snllen, dejected appearance, and evident'y had oo sympathy with his own part in the prosecution. Hh testimony, nevertheless, confirmed the story already published tbat ten men went to Joyce's hou<e. He saw Patrick Joyce, the prisoner, enter the door, Witnfsa then ran away, and, aa he lied, heard behind him from the house shoots of " Murder " and screarm for help. The " Freeman's Journal" is oat with a leader in which it offers an apology for i's recent accusations and harsh language agaisst General Wolseley, and against offering Mm the freedom of the city.

The weather cleared, as it is held it aiwajsdoes for tbe Queen, and by 1 o'clock a large proportion of London's five millions had pouted into St. James's rark and hied ev<;ry approach to it. Mot 10 per ceat. of the enormous multitude saw the pageant, which was odd of extraordinary brilliancy. The royal family was out.in full force. Her Majesty was very plainly dressed, looked very well, and was guarded from the view of her faithful subjects by innumerable soldiery. The Prince of Wales was bardly more visible, and _ the im mease royal establishment, with all its apparatus"of carriages and upholstery, pre sented a very curious spectacle. The event filled London with excitement. It was eminently successful in its design, which was to let the Egyptian heroes into the sun shine of the royal presence, to stimulate the national military feeling, and to gire tbe public a glimpse of whit it is that it is pay ing »o much money for. The Indian officers and men, in their grotesque uniforms, came in for applause, and looked deeply im pressed and wretchedly cold. THE iGYPTIAN OUTLOOK. From E«ypt there is little or nothing new to report, but there is tbe same steadj drift towards annexation. Kverydaynew guarantees are made, new responsibilities undertaken, new relations entered into on '■ behalf of the local Government. Tbelateit 1 movement is in the direction of aboliabicg the slave trade in Soudan and Darfur, and ■ once this obligation is imposed upon E^ypt 1 it becomes a duty which England binds herself to carry out. Lord Dufftrin is ere ■ dited with making most rapid progress in ingratiating himself with, the Notables, ' but there wi 1 be little progress lin the direction of the formal ad mission of the English, policy until Arabi's ' trial i 3 out of the way. That obstacle has ' degenerated into a farca, but a certain amount of ceremony i 3 necessary before it i can be settled. Arabi's recenr, letter iv the > "Times" attracted great attention by its independence, courage, and audacity. 1 Gladstone questioned its authenticity in i the tfou^e, whereupon the "liims" 1 asserted it strongly. There is a bitter feud t between the Premier and "The Than- i ' derer," and many matters of late havj not ; tended to assuage it. ' EGVPTIXH VICTOES REVIEWED. [ LOHDOM, November 18.—The Queep. t accompanied by tbe Crown Princess of Germany, ths Princess Beatrice, the 5 Dache«s of Connaught, aod the Duke of t Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief of the army, to-day reviewed SOOO of the troops 3 that took pirt in the Egyptian campaign, including a small representatite deputation j of the Indian contingent now here, and a few men of tbe Malta Artillery.

The Yeomanry Guards, Highlanders' Brigade, seamen and inariue«, and the In j dian contingent—about thirty strong— evoked the ra^t enthuoastic welcome. The streets along the mute of march were gaily decorated with, flugs bearing mottoe?, 1 snch a* " Kas^a'sin,' 1 "Telel-Kebir,' "Welcome Home," ani others appropriate to the occasion. The event will be ce!e ---j brated to-night by illuminations. It excites an enthuaiasmunprecedenteii since the close i. of the Crimean War. T At the renew the Queen presented war J medals to two of the representatives of each regiment, a genera' pteaentatioa cf medals will taka place at Windsor on Tuesday. > In the' House of Commom last ni->bt, I Gladstone moved to recommit allot Sextorrs „ puagraph in the report of tbe Gray inves " tigation back to the committee.

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(By Otm Own Correspondent in London-.)

LONDON, November 2nd. Th 3 bitterly cold and tempestuous weather daring the past ioren?ght has proved such a fruitful topic of conversation and discussion, not only amongst Anglo-Cclocial folks, hut also in every household thronghout the length and breadth of England, that I feel it would be unjust—nay, almost deceitful if I were to omit all reference to the subject. Storms we are accustomed to in this favoured hsmiapbere—very bad stcrras at times—bui the btrricooe of Tuesday last was quite unreasonably and out rageously violent. I happened- to be in Brighton at tae time, staying with some ►hipboard acquaintances, who come from Christchurcb, iN.Z.,and sjllying out dur ißg the height of the gale, it fell to our lot to be victimised by the "corner trick.' 1 This agreeable pastime is played as fol lows :—At one corner of East-street is a very slippery piece of pavement, and about this corner, which is rounded off, the south west wind plajs with exceptional violence. As cur paity. unconscious of impending danger, came down the street towards the sea, they perceived, on the oppo-ite side of the King's boad, a crowd that greeted their approach with jeers and langhter. We were puzzled by this demonstrat.on till reaching the before ■mentioned comer. There the wind took, seized, and quickly overpowered every jack man—paterfamilias (16 atone) slid swiftly o'er the glassy para pet, and absquatulated forcibly ia the nutter, his spju'e and daughters round themielves propelled, minus hat', into the arm? of sundry laughing strangers, whilst your own particular "special," who had foolishly pat up an umbrella, was blown icside oat, and sent flying along the Parade at sixty milea an hour. Naturally the crowd were enchanted, but when we re covered ourselves we joined ihem aad watched others1 woes. But ibis ia not Angio-Colonial gos-'ip, and I moat proceed to m.re important matters. Illness of Mr S. Morrin, It is with ereat regret I have to announce the serious illness ot Mr panmel Mcrrin, of Auckland, who arrived in I ocdon by the last 'Frisco mail, and is at present an in mate ot the newly-established private sana torium at 17 Fi'zroy Square. Mrs Morrin came part of the way home with her bus band, but bang a very bad sailor, remained wuh friends in Camda. I conjecture, however, she had no idea there was much wrong with. Mr Morrin. It turns out that his spine is affected. Mr Moirin has now the services of the best specialty doctors in the wo(ld, hut they do cot conceal from him that tbongh they may patch him up be wili never be quite the same man he ODce was. At present his sif-hi U most seriousily affected, and he cannot move from the hoase, much less go sight-seeing. Ihe Thames Valley JBailivay Floated. A most important item of news toNoith New Zealand -(which it is quite possible I may get inta trouble for issuing) has just' reached my ears. The story is that Mr ; hich, who came home to tloitthe 'ihames Valley Railway, ha* succeeded in doing it; that a London beard of directors, including Mr Grant (of Giant and Foster's), haa been formed, and that the work will be com menced forthwith, & number of English surveyors, &c, being tent out for the pur pose. Mr Kich leave* for the colony almost immediately by the P. and O. steamer Clyde, bat the facts cf the case are, I am assured, to be kept a secret for a time. Doubtless, however, they will have leaked cut by cable before this reaches its destina tion. The Babbit Pest in Itew Zealand. A discussion 13 being carried on in several new.-papers just now relative to the desirability &f introducing weaie's, stoats, and ferrets into New Zealand, with, a view to checking the rabbit p sr. I to.ice that the bilioce of opinion seems to be against, the proposal. Une writer says : "It would take some years before these animals would become nume'oU3 enough to make any ap preciable inroads on the euormoua stock ol rabbits which have overrun so many dis tricts, and before then there is reason to hope that the tneaos now being adopted to deal with the evil will have proved tffica c:ou3. Even if they do not, the risk of the vermin in their turn overrunning the couc try and attacking other kinds of animals be sides tluse on whom it was tpecially in tended 'hey Ehould itast, would be too great to justify the experiment. Ihe case of the rabbit* should be sufficient warning against any heedless attempt at acclimatisation. The loss of the inter eating wingless birds ot J>ew Zealand, which would inevitably fall a prey to the weasels and ftoa>s, would alone bs too great a pr'ce to pay for the ex termination of the rabbit;, which, after all, can be turned, and are beins; turned, to useful and profitable account, while the vermin would have no redeeming feature— nut even that of a white coat and buck tail, which in cold climates the stoat assumes, when he furnishes U3 with tbe once highly prized ermine." 'Jhe "Globe," too, has an article to the same effect as the above, and advises New Zealand to turn, the tables, and, by preserving rabbits ia tics and sending them home, to convert an evil into a profit able iuduatry.

Opening of Selwyn College.—The Initial Ceremonies, I had hoped to be able to Bead joe in my last a full account of the ceremonies of the opening of Selwyn College, Cambridge. The i ondou papers, however, totally ignored the whole affair, and the Cam bridge " Chrouicle," the only journal which gave a decent report, was "rushed" directly it came ou% and the whole edition buught up instanter. Feeling unions to know whether this most uausual silence on an interesting subject iiro.se from the marked hostil ty which the University has from the. first shown towards the new college, J, on Thursday last, made a point of running down to Cambridge personally, and, thanks to the matter (tbe Hon. and _Key. Arthur Lyttelton), lam now in a position to supply a fairly succinct account of the procedure. Sclwyn College has been founded to com memorate the name and character of the late Bishop bdwyn, "as a loyal and distinguished son, of the Church of England, as an ex.' ample of nunlines* and^implicity of living, and as a great missionary Bishop." For these purposef, the English Church, the colonhts of New Zetland, and the people of ureat Britain generally were atked to make their farewell oiieiioga. Tee euui of abont £33.000 has co far been collected, but 1 regret ■to say that not a single name well known iv the colony which Bishop Selwya loved so well appears amongst the notable subscribers. 1 think, therefore, it msy not be amiss to suggest that the clergy of the principal towns in New Zea land should at once make a collection for the purpose. Many famous Englishmen, from the Prime Minister downwards, have shown their admirati.m for the character of the late prela c by substaaiial donations, and_ it doi:s not seim either kindly or Dationsl for New Zealand to lag behind. It was at Cms intended that the opening ceremonies, includiug the installation of the Masier (the Hon. and liev. Arthur Lyttel ton) thould be performed by the Arch' bishop of Canterbury, bal oniog to the illuess of Bis brace, tbe Bishop of Eiy officiated. He waaas&istcd, I needscarc )y say, by many other JLorUs of the Charch; indeed, the compaoy assembled, in honour'

>f tbe occasian wa3 most distinguished :hongh the only names known in New iealand will probably be the followios ■- Loid Pours, the Bishops of Winchester Oxford, Lichfield, and Chicbeato ffii Bishop of NelsoD, Bishop Abraham, JBisEw Hobhouse, Mrs Selwjn, Mrs W. SeW and Lady Martin. The insolation <•««' mony wa» of the ordinary character and need not be referred to further than fo 8 » ; that the Bt-bop of £Iy preached a ponretfai aermon from the text "Tell me-, I Wx l thee, wherein thy great atreugih lieta" (Judges xti. 6). la the course of Mi ; remarks he said that as the new colleae there would ba no disguise uf the d-fimtive spirimal character of the Anglican Church aa aa integral portion of the kingdom of Chrfat insependentiy of any connection it mMc have with the realm of England, a 0 amde trath hid greater bold on the mind of toe great Bishop of New Zealand than that When the letters patent, by which, hs was appointed, gave him power to ordain, he accepted them only with, a solemn protest, lodged with the colonial office, that what ever meaning the words miihtbear,hehtld that all functions purely spiritual were con veyed by tbe act of conaecraiia alone From his first arrival in 2»ew Zealand he resolutely refused aid from the Sate, which prufessed to givs it to the Church only as one amongst many religious beliefs. After service there was lunch, and after lunch as a matter of course, there were speeches.' The newly-iiistalkd master (Key. A. Lyttelton) made a long speech of no paiti calar interest to colonist?, save where it re- ; ferred to certain missio&ary scholarship-. . He said bi3 idea was. that fnnd* should ba 1 see apart for exhibitions and scholarshipp confined solely to those who were sent home ' frorrfthe colonies and mission-fields, to be educated at Selwyn Cottage. The hat words Bishop John Selwyn (of Melanesia} had said to him before he left England were : " You make Selwyn College a suc cess, and I will find yon plenty or Melane. 3 sian Missionaries." Of course, there must be other scholarships also, bat be would 1 like to sse colonial students a weighty body in the college, who ehanld calm aud I influence the rest by their example, and by 9 the narnre of the life to which they wets M dovoted." The Bishop of Winchester, in replying to B the toast of hia health, reminded tiosj present that he bad been at Eton with Bishop Selwyn, and kaowc him from En; to laat for more than 50 years. He remem bered Sslwyn in hia boyhood—the noblest of boys, and a credit in every way ; bepaws; him take the famous dive at Eton, perhaps the greatest dive a boy e?er did take, and V; he knew his skill at athletics and the depth and clearness of his learning. He renuni- j beredhimat Cambridge, howherowe^ia the 'Vanity eisht, aid how they all loosed up to him and admired him. He thongrtl tney might say of him that he was the I most eminently noble, fearless, and bue of • ' all the men he ever knew. Such a nun deserved to have a memorialerecUdtohiin,; \;S and it was scarcely possible that tfig v Master conid set bfibre the ycung men of the College a nobler example. Speeches were also made by the Vice- Chancellor, by Dr Westcott, and by the Bishop of Oxford, bat they devoted them-11 eelve^ to praising the briliiact learning aci - wisdom of tbe newly-installed master rather than eulogising Bisaop Selwyn, Bishop Abraham certainly murmured a few irri a ting commonplaces, but it is odd that many names seem to have cropped upoftecer than that of tbe hero of the day, I may add that the two distinctive features of Sel»yrt College are that it is founded on the bruad ': but definitive buis of the ChurJt of Eng- i land, and that its aim is to encourage habits of simple livinj?, and to deve'op the Christian character in students. Tee gov erning body hopes to find the college largely recruited by undergraduates from Mew Zealand, and strong icducements to I join are to be held out to this patticaki I 'class.
