Discovery of Harbours,

railing to iiml populous ana nc.iltny ocalities up those largo rivers, and our aission on the coast (both in the gulf and mtho peninsula and Port Moresby) suffev ng from tiio fatal fever of the country, I lotermined to try the cast end of New luinea, hoping, from the narrow and Mountainous, character of the penin nla, to find it more healthy. Call rif^ at I'ort Moresby, J consulted vitli Mr Lawes, who joined me in an expo lition to the China Straits. We visited nany places on the coast on our way down, md made some important discoveries of larbours, lagoons, rivers, islands, and passed unong others, which may bo mentioned, as ikcly to become most useful for commerce, i line harbour oil' the town of Kerepuncc, n iloud Bay ; Mullin's harbour, in Orange rei Bay ; Stay Island, which was supposed io be the South Cape between which md the main land there is splonded inchorage and f^ood water for ves iuU. During the following year (about tlireo yeans after Mr Lawes joined the mission) we had the pleasure of welcoming Mr and Mrs Chalmers, who throw tliem iclves heartily into the work. I accom panied them to the South Cane, as we had irraiijicd to form two central stations, for two new brunches of the mission in the South and Kast Cape districts, .Mr and Mrs Chalmers taking cliiirge of (ho iormcr, and L of the latter ; they sclenting Stacey Island is thuii' centre of operations', I Samaria, a -mall island in the China Straits, which .•ommands both sides of tho peninsula, My 3nei'{rotic eollwijiuu soon became acquainted with the coast line of this diocese between South Capo and Ornngeroi Bay, where he discovered some »ood harbours, and has iinee visited many of the tribes on tho south iide of the peninsula, finding tho east jncl of our mission as unhealthy as the west, both proving fatal toour Polynesian teachers, it seemed to me that tho best way to evan gelise tho great island was to establish training institutions for tho education of the stall' of teachers from amongst the people themselves, who are accustomed to the clime. Five years a^o I began the important work at our central station at Murray Island with nine young-men, who formed the nucleus of what has become a Papuan Industrial School and Teachers' Seminary, in which about 100 young men and boys are being trained with the view to their becoming evangelists in New Guinea. Eight earnest Christian young men—the first converts of the mission, nnd the first fruits of our institution—have recently been appointed to stations in tho Papua (liilf in and near tho Fly River, where our latest and most important discoveries have been made. During the monsoon,many vessels bound from Australia to China pass through the Torres Straits, where, it i» well known, a large per-centage have been wrecked. A slight error in reckoning or in chronometers causes the captain to miss Bramble Bay ; then, to avoid what looks a terribly dangerous place on tl « charts, he attempts to beat away from the ex tensive Warrior Reef, whereas we find that there is a lino passage through it at the north end, three miles wide, with six to seven fathoms of water, which I named tho Mis sionary Passage. Thero is good anchorage on the lee side of the reef. This is now our usual course from tho Fly River to Thurs day Island, it being much more pleasant andsafer sailing on the lee than on tho weather side of Warrior Kcef. Entranco to Fly River. Our last and perhaps most important discovery of all is a good passago into Fly River for largo vessels, about eight miles to the eastward of LSrampton Island, an even sandy bottom, gradually shallowing from nine to three fathoms and a - half, and then as gradually deepening to six fathoms — a fine harbour formed by three islands, situated in the middle of the river, safe at all seasons and smooth as a mill pond, with six fathoms of water close to shore, which I have named I'ort Spicer. It is about fifteen miles from the mouth of tho noble river, which at Fort Spicer is eight or nine miles wide. Hero I have formed our central station for the Fly River Mission on tho largest of the islands, Mibu, which is likely to become an important depot in the future commerce of thisThamesof New Guinea. Forsmallvessels it is what may be termed the back entrance to tho river, between tho mainland and islands of Bristow, Brampton, and Mibu, safe at all seasons. Our mission schooner, Ellen Gowan, takes the former, and our small vessel, the Venture, tho latter pas sage. Other Explorations. Other explorations and attempts at set tlement have been mado .since tho com mencement of our mission; notably two voyages of Captain Moresby in the Basilisk, in 1871), during which he discovered a line harbour on tho si a coast of the peninsula which bears his name, and some islands at the cast end which were supposed to form part of tho mainland. Fatal Diggers' Expedition. The ill-starred expedition of the Maria, comprising a number of miners and adven turers, left Sydney in IS7'2 to explore New Guinea and search for gold. 1 met the members of this expedition on my return from New Guinea, just before they started, and endeavoured to convince them they M ere going at a most unsuitable season, the "N. W. monsoon," and in a most unsuit able vessel; but it was the advice of a mis sionary, and they probably thought I had other reasons for wishing them to defer their departure, so they started but never reached New Guinea. The vessel was wrecked, a number of lives lost, and the survivors rescued by Captain Moresby in the Basilisk. In 1574 ; tho Rev. Dr. Lang undertook an immigration scheme—a party with their wives and families were to form a settle ment at Yuille Island with a view to open ing a trade with Australian ports in pre ducts of the island, and to collect specimen! qf tho natural history and mineralogy of the country. On hearing of this, lat once wrote a letter to tho " Sydney Morning Herald," whichwascopiodinto tho "London Times," accompanied by a leader on the subject'sotting forth the almost cer tain sad consequences of such an attempt, urging that )^hat was required at first in in such a country was not immigrants with families, but explorers, turning prospectors to report on the most suitable places for settlement. I knew Yuillo Island well, arid considering Ihe mimber of deaths at our mission stations along the coast, I felt it my duty to raise a warning voice against an expedition which would cer tainly have led to disappointment and disaster. It was abandoned. In IS7S several parties of minors visited Port Aloochi with the object of searching for gold, which was reported to exist near that place, the best-organised party being kmwn as tho Colonist Expedition, some of the members of which penetrated half across the peninsula, or 40 miles from tho coast prospecting for gold ; but their reports were unfavourable, and all left the Island. Othor Exploratjfii^. In articles prp/jising to give a short ac count of explorations in New Guinea, honourable mention should bo mado of the labours of Dr. Bcecari and Signor D'Albertes (the Italian doctor), Mikelucho Maelay (tho Russian doctor), M>,y&s> (tiie German), and Wallace (oar own country man), Those gentlemen in their scientific) pursuits have contributed valuable informa tion about New Guinea; Messrs Ingham, Stone, and Goldie havo also' visited and written about places on the peninsula where no European had been before them, and it is greatly to tho rred;t, or tho last-' named gentleman that, having travelled so mi: u'toiig tho const of the S.E. poninsula jirid in tho interior, he has never come into collision with the natives, although, liko all Dther travellers, he took the precaution of oeing well armed. The enterprising proprietors of the " Argus " fUM '■'■ Age "' sent expeditions to jxplore this beautiful and luxuriant island, 'ram whom, it is to bo'hbpcd, wo may soon earn something of animal, vegetable, and nincral treasures, as well as. physical eatures of the country. Seeing we havo lu'ssjon stations established in Fly River, :hey will find it by far the easiest and juickest way of reaching tho interior slands; and as we do not believe in Chris iionifcy without civilisation, much less in :ivilination without Christianity—(they iro twin sisters)—wo shall, as we have ilways, encourago any legitimate attempt nade to open the country. But vliilst we arc prepared to do this, vo are also prepared to opposo any woceedings that would bo unjust and in urious to the natives. Wo are hero fov Jieir benefit, and are anxious to see them idvanco in civilisation. Bcjnjj in possession if thp op.vHitry, they have suroly a right to mrticipato in tho benefits arising from tho levelopmont of its resources. It is ittempts to ignore native'rights and abuso .heir persons and property by European .revellers and settlers that lead to trouWa, vhich might, and ought to be, fy.'Gyiod.' It s well that all who contemplate visiting slew Guinea should, clearly understand our losition. They must decide" whether we. iolp or. opposo them. Expedition Up ?ly Kiver.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Colonial Federation and Annexation.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—For two months past, like many others, I have been looking for some com prehensive discussion of the question of Annexation and Federation, and your article of Thursday night is the first genuine attempt to face tho difficulties of the situation which has yet met my eye. For some expression of public opinion on these important .matters i have listened, not without anxiety, in the counting-house, in the 'bus, on the street, and over the dining.table ; but absolutely in vain. About the most momentous ques tions which have yet agitated antipodean politics, there has been exhibited, not merely a want of interest and a dearth of information, but actual indifference. And if we in Auckland, whose merchants and traders, from the city's geo graphical position, would be likely to bone lit iirst and chielly from annexation, if we, I say, have shown .such marked apathy, what can wo expect of the people living in Canterbury and Otago ?

You say rightly that tho Customs tariffs form tho one great obstacle to Aiccoss in tho labours of tho sitting Conference ; and from all inclinations tlicro i.-i no prospect of a speedy attainment of Free Trade in in tercolonial products. Tho Cobden of Aus tralasia, it would sewn, has not yet dis covered his vocation ; or, if lie has, lie is sit present a prophet crying unheeded in the desert, You think, sir, that Federation of pome sort might bo consummated without such an cxtremo measure- as abandonment of Customs duties. Very likely :ii seems quitej)o.ssible. lint would it be more than the shadow oS Federation '! Would tiio colonial combination be anything more than a name 1 A hollow pretence adopted from purely selfish motives ? Would it be Federation such as would satisfy the Glad stone Government? The writer says "No !" emphatically. Such a nominal union would not show the colonies to be sufficiently in earnest, sufficiently alive to their responsibilities, and to the greatness of the future which lies before them. Lot them make a sacrifice, or at least some thing of an effort; do something besides talk at a conference and oiler to spend a paltry £10,000 a year; and so let the Government at Home see that they are not half asleep, and that they really have a substantial, conscientious purpose behind all this talk about annexa tion. If they were to look resolutely at this Free Trade question, and say that henceforth our own products shall circulate freely between one colony and another, notwithstanding the disarrangement of the various fiscal systems which would be a first result, then Earl Derby might see his way to meet the wishes of the colonies as expressed to him by the Agents General. If the colonies are to be bonded and welded together into something approach ing a homogeneous whole, with in terests in common, Free Trade is a necessity. While Victoria slaps her sisters in the face with a 2o per cent, ad valorem duty, and New Zealand returns the blow with 15 per cent, and Tasmania with 10, how can there be interests in common 1 Inter-dependence by means cf large com merce i.s one of the best ties to bind com munities together and .make their interests identical ; but how can you arrive at this desirable result with high prohibitory tariffs?

One other matter I should like to make a remark upon. You also have fallen foul of Earl Derby, and mildly abused him for n.ot rushing into the arms of the Agents-Genaval and suddenly acceding to their modest demands. But, really, what could bo e.xpceted of the Imperial Government? They have acted with caution. Thoy have declined to take a leap in the dark. They have waited to see what tho colonies would undertake to do forthcmsolves.and to ascertain if we at this end of the world knew our own minds. They have not seen iit to make common, lot, without consideration, with a crude scheme of aggression. All this was to be expected. Has not Earl Derby the reputation of boing moro than ordinarily cool-headed? Did not Mr Gladstone sit at the feet of Richard Cobden, and has ho not been long the familiar friend of John Bright? And is not Mr Fawcett a member of the Rp.mp distinguished school of politicians > i i\o not wish to pose as a proph.pt, but I believe that a few years hence the Gladstone Cabinet will bo commended for their prudence, common-sense, and caution o\p» the important matter of annexation.—l am, &.c, J. t>. Davis.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

AT the usual weekly mceti;:pr ot ihe .Board held on Friday several imporlav.i, matters were con sidered. The tender of A. Hums (Cli.'tO) for school at Kihikihi, and that of .lames Farley fcr school nt Tamahere (£I3S) wire accepted.—l.c was agreed that tb« architect prepare jji.ll'3 for a school in Freeman's Bay to accommodate 5011 children, and an invitation from the City Schools Committee for Board members to bo present at the forthcoming demonstra tion of school children was accepted.— Jlr JlcKenzie moved that the meetings of the Board be held fortnightly, but t£f£ motion was lpst on the casting vote of the Chair man.—On the motion of Mr Buoklanvt, it was a-ureed that tho teacher's residence fbrPapakura Valley school district ho placed on tho list of urgent requiremantß, and a site purchased if pcssible,—Tho Secretary stated that Profesßor Thomas had not yot roported on examination papers of Girls' High School, and it was agreed that he should be written to on the subject— The Chairman's report was read as follows i— Mr James Collier has been transferred from Newton East to AVelleslcy-streot vntii tho end of the year.

Hobbs, Chairman.—A letter was r'ocolvod from Mr Da Sylva, whoso disap pearaneo caus«d some uneasiness recently, ask ing that tho Board would reinstate him in thpi* omploy. Tho Board resolved to adheroUtiioir previous decision.—A lengthy discussion also took place on the over-cray,-,ha'g of the city schools. A legal.opndc.ll was road from Messrs Hsskoth & Riphirfond. stating that they saw noth'ng in tho Education Act to indicate aw intention that children should necessarily aitend the school of tho district in which tioy'reside, but that as school committca* are intrusted with " the management pi all odufcational mat ters within thejr districts, "subject to the super vision and control of the Board (sec. «>, It would bo competent for them to exclude child ren from,otherdistriotsif in th,Qfr Judgment the admittance of such ch\l(lr<a\ w<™d embarrass the management pf tho school. Eventually thp following niotion was agreed 'to: — "That tho debate be adjournoil, uml that in tho meantime the City Schools Committee bo ro qucsjed to report to thp Hoard whether thoy consider that any ateps should be tnkon, in tho admission of pupils to tho city schools, to secure a pioforonce to tho children of parents living in tho City School District, and, if so, what steps they would rocommend."
