it, had the envelope sent to an analyst in order that its contents might be carefully examined aml.jinalysed. It is understood that the rcsulftf thia analysis was the dis covery that tho envelope contained a highly explosive substance, which when dry would _ eliable tocxplode even by tho action in open ing the letter, unless that were done with extieme caution. The fact, however, that the substance was somewhat damp modi • lied its explosive power for the time being, and also was the means of leading to its discovery by staining the paper. The letter was addressed to "The Bight Hon. W. F. Forster, tho Castle, Dublin," and above tho direction were the letters " 0.H.M.5." as if to lead to the supposition that the communication was of an official character. It bore the Dublin postmark, and the date January 31. The mere act of opening the letter somcwh.t roughly would probably have caused an explosion resulting in serious injury to tho hands and possibly to the face of the opener. The desire, however, to maim or kill the Chief Secretary appears to have blinded the originators of the plot to the fact that all letters addressed to Mr Forster are in the first instance opened by his secretaries. In the present case it happened that tho secretaries themselves had also left Dublin, and those who re mained in charge of the official business at the Castle had their suspicions awakened immediately on the receipt of the letter, and apparently showed no hesitation as to how to deal with the matter. Beyond the explosive substance the envelope contained nothing whatever, neither writing nor any thing else, which might give any clue to the identity of the oflenders. THE PANAMA CANAL. Lord Granville's reply to Mr Blame's despatches on the subject of tho Panama Canal has been published. The position assumed by the Foreign secretary ip that a j canal through the Isthmus of Panama, would be not less important as a connect ing link between England and her depen dencies than as one between the States of the American Union on the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, It ia pointed out that the parallel drawn by Mr Blame between the Isthmus of _ue_ and the Isthmus of Panama is inapplicable ; for the former is not controlled by England, as Mr Blame argued that the latter should bo by the United States. " Such a canal," , writes Lord Granville, "as would be consti- j tnted by the waterway between the two great oceans, and between all Europe and Eastern Asia, ia a work which concerns not | merely the United States or the American continent, but the whole of the civilized world," It is upon thia doctrine that Arti- i cle VI. of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, which distinctly contemplates the construction of a canal, is based, Moreover, Lord Granville shows that the claim advanced by Mr Blame, on behalf of the United States, to j guard the canal by a series of fortresses bnilt on its shores, and to trace the water-: way as part of tne American coast line, | would materially interfere with the in- 1 dependence of those States whose territory j Is intermediate between the canal and the ' United State.. The Government of j Washington, it is said, has recognised the j justice of this view, and the discussion ' may now be regarded as practically at an j end. THE CHANNEL TUNNEL ' The projected construction of a tunnel connecting England with Franco, between the Respective points of Dover and Calais, has pretty generally divided public opinion nnd raised a storm of controversy iv the newspapers. Both Lord Dunsany and Sir Garnet Wolseley—the one a naval and the other a military expert—have,' in a joint article published in the "Nineteenth Century," pronounced upon the scheme a most emphatic though rather one-sided con demnation. The view they take is one of purely military defence, and from their standpoint tho objections raised are certainly valid. Yet, in the face of tbe obvious advantages that would accrue in the way of an extended passenger and goods traffic bstween the two countries, it •would be precipitate, without a further sifting of the subjecr, to dismiss the idea aa visionary because a naval and a military authority individually regard the presence of a tnnnel at Dover as a standing danger to England.

SIR HENRY PARKES IN SAN FRANCISCO.

Interesting Letter on the Institu tions of the City.

The following are extracts from a letter received by Sir John Robertson from Sir Hoary Parkes by the last San Francisco mail :—

"Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Jan. 30.

" My dear Kobertson.—We arrived here at midnight of the 24tb, and my time has been fully" occupied by the unexpected loudness of new-iound friends ever since, A suite of rooms in the Palace~Hotel had been engaged for us before onr arrival, and had been decorated with wreaths of flowers and evergreens under the direction of the ladies of one of the families who have taken us in hand. Carriages have been placed at onr disposal at all hours of the day during onr stay, and ladies accompany Annie and myself to bliow us the sights. The amoant of consideration we have received quite surpriaes me. " The city of San Francisco is far beyond my expectations in many things, and pre? sents evidence of great prosperity among the people. For example, there is no copper money—no coin, in fact, of smaller value than five cents (2Jd). Nothing h. sold or done fnr less. This is the more sur prising as copper cents exist all through the older States, and did exist here until the people refused to set bo small a value on the performance of any service or the purchase of any article. There are boys attached to all the hotels and public places, whose busi ness is to execute errands for anyone who needs their services; but I believe their lowest chorge is 35 cents. For a new city, the streets are well filled up with hand some buildings—not broken by gaps of small buildings, as in an Australian city. One may pass np and down one street after another which is of this character. I under-' stand that tho process of taking down the old buildings and replacing them by these handsome structures haa been rapidly going on for the|last few years. " Most of the blocks of buildings in San Francisco and the mansions outside of the city are of wood, made to imitate stone, with much ornament; and, as both the blocks and the separate houses are often four and five stories high, they have a very Imposing effect. Some ot the private resi dences are very sumptuous places, filled with the costliest articles of luxury from Europe and Asia. "So far as I have seen, the streets of the city are remarkably quiet aud orderly. The shops are filled with costly and often rare and beautiful articles for use aid ornament; imd on all sides there are the signs of private wealth. THE TRAMWAYS.

" The streets are everywhere traced with tramways; you can scarcely get away from them. The one-horse tram-cars appear to be unpopular, because the passengers have to put the faro into a box, which they de cline to do. ' There is my fare,' said one "free citizen, 'but I shall not be at the trouble of walking acros the car to put it in your box.' " The wire tramways are in one respect working quite a revolution. There were parts of the environs of San Francisco which were quite neglected, on account of the difficulty of reaching them, owing to their hilly character. The wire trams have made them accessible. These wire tramways would be splendid .things for the North Shore and Balmam, and such parts of Sydney as Wil liam-street and Margaret-street. I have inspected three of the company a roads, rolling stock, and works, and am sending under separate cover reports.drawings, and descriptions showing what the system really is. I have also ordered models to be made, which will bs forwarded to Sydney. THE FIRE BRIGADE. "The organizations for the extinction of fires in San Francisco are simply marvellous. The captains and superin tendents' have given themselves much trouble to enable me to understand them. The Stevenson-street Fire Brigade establishment exhibits surprising dis cipline, both In horses and men. A visitor enters a large apartment with an office at one corner. Two fi.c-en_incs are standing in perfect readiness to go out, and behind them the requisite number of horses are standing1 ready harnessed in Open stalls without fastenings. On each side of this apartment there is a steep stair with a smooth wooden slide beside it communicating with the upper floor, The young men who man tlie engines live on this upper floor. Besides a comfortable bedroom they have living, rooms, with books, a piaao, and billiard table. When in bed each man has bis trousers with his boots inside them so placed beside hie bed that becan/nsit wero, jump into them. When tbe gong strikes the alarm of fire the horses trot out from their stalls of their own accord and place them selves ready to be fastened to the engines. |n the meantime the men are dressed, and

slide down from above in eight seconds; the operation on the lower floor takes four seconds, and the engine, arc out, '■At the scene ot the fire the contri vances to secure effective action are equally surprising. I will try to describe the ladder-waggon. This corrioge is 42ft, long, the wheels being at the extreme ends. It carries a number of hooked ladders for various use. But the principal ladder is a wonder. It is made on the telescopic principle, one ladder shooting out of another. It is erected on a turn-table at one end of the carriage, and is raised by a winch which projects the inner ladder while it is being raised. When the exer cise was gone through for my inspection, I held the superintendent's watch in my hand ; and the ladder was raised and thrown upon a housetop, 90tt. high, in 32 seconds. A dozen men were immedi- I ately upon the roof. Then this ladder can j easily be thrown to the other Bide of the street, or by moving the carriage to or from window to window. The carriage ia furnished with large canvas sacks for lowering down women and children from a burning house, and with various other con trivances for saving life and property. "I have inspected the other fire brigade stations, and in respect to the training and discipline of horses and men they seem fairly equal. For fires on board ship and along the wharves there is a powerful steam tug fitted with all kinds of implements and contrivances for the extinction of fire. I saw eight heavy jets of water poured forth at once, which must very soon tell upon a burning ship or store.

FIRE AT ONEHUNGA.

Narrow Escape of Stevenson's

Store.

Messrs Btbvbnson's well-known store at One hunga had a narrow escape of being destroyed by fire this morning. It appears that two young men named J. Watts and J.

MAJOR NIXON'S HOUSE BURNED.

[BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION. J

WANGANTJI, this day, Majob Nixon's house at Seagbrook, Wanganui, was totally destroyed by fire this morning. The fire originated near the kite lieu chimney, and no water being avail able it spread rapidly. The Fire Brigade came from town, but too late to save the building.

A portion of the furniture was saved, but the library, containing many valuable books and many curios, was lost." The house was insured in tho Liverpool and London for £1,000. The furniture was uninsured.

PAINFUL CASE OF INFANTI CIDE.

Ihe Mother Arrested.

(BY TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION),

PATEA, this day. Mary OS ULUVAN, a widow, whose hus band was killed by the vehicle accident here 18 months ago, was arrested last evening for infanticide, The body of a female child over a week old was found wrapped in an old towel, under her house, by some children.

She is now in a very low state. An inquest will be held this afternoon. Mrs O'Sullivan, who is only about 27 years old, was considered a highly respectable woman before the doith of her husband.by whom she had four children,but since then she has led a loose life.

THE ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN MATHESON.

His Injuries Result Fatally.

The injuries sustained by Captain Mathe son from the unlucky accident which occurred ou board the new schooner Three Cheers on Monday last, we regret to record, have resulted fatally. When taken t. Ihe Hospital the surgeons were of opinion that even if tho suffeicr lived both legs would be amputated, and he was never in fit condition to permit of the operation being attempted. The Hospital nttun4ants gave Mr Mathe son t I- greatest care, and all that could _- clone to alleviate his suffer ing was gladly executed. During yesterday he was visited by several friends, and he is said to have retained conscious ness until midnight, having then recognised Mr McQuarrie, tbe well known shipbuilder. Shortly after, however, ho took a..turn for the worae, and at 2 o'clock this morning death terminated his sufferings. Captain Matheson is a very old colonist, and well known to all parsons connected with the shipping interests of Auckland. He was greatly respected, and was remark' able for his straightforward manner of carrying out all business transactions en trusted to his care. We are in debted to Captain D. 11. McKenzie, who was well acquainted with the whole history of the deceased gentleman, for the following graphic biography :—Mr Duncaa Matheson was born in Bossshire, Scotland, in 1822, and he would therefore be no w about 60 years of age. In company with his father and mother he went thence to Cape Breton (Novo Scotia), celebrated as one of the French stronghold.. Here bp grew to manhood, and fn in company with the father and brother Angus (whp is at present in Anckland) sailed several vessels, Two or three small cralt were also built at Cope, Breton by the two brothers and ia courso of time disposed of. In 1856 they bought the brigantioe Spray and fitted her out for passengers to New Zealand, arriving here in 1857. The Spray at, hat jiime was under command of Captain Duncan, who died in Auckland about three years since. They sold the Spray, and with the proceeds bought land at Omaha, where the brothers settled. Continuing their calling as ship builders, they constructed the schooner Saucy Laas, and afterwards the Coquette, tho latter of which Captain Matheson sailed himself until she was lost at Fiji. Since then the Kyno was built, and Mr Matheson run her for some time in the now Zealand coasting trade. This vessel was Bold to Messrs Henderson and Macffarlane five or six years ago, and then Duncan went on a visit to Nova Scotia, There he purchased the brigantine Oceols, which he also brought to Auckland, and * sailed for some time in the Colonial trade. On leaving her he commenced building tbe schooner Three Cheers, which has been i just finishei, and which, un fortunately, proved the cause of his ' untimely end. Captain Matheson was an energetic, hard working man, scrupu lously honest in all his dealings, and much respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and four children, two -pns and two daughters, at Omaha. They are all grown up, and thanks to the care and fore sight of their much lamented father, are well provided for. The various vessels in harbour to-day, in recognition of the sad event, and in respect for the memory of the deceased, were flying ■' half-mast nig-." . _:: ,

It was considered a hard oase.—Mr Laisbley sug gested that His Worship could not deal with tbe cose under the circumstances.— His Worship sold the men were dismissed on the statement of Mr Thomson's telegram, and no evidence was taken. It the men were on the shin's or Holes, they still were of the crew, and probably itlooald be shown, that they beloned to the ship.—Mr laisbley aa{d the captain said he did not want them, and thereo aula be no deser tion after that.
