THE NORTHCOTE FERRY SERVICE.

(To the .Editor.) SlK,—I wish to draw attention to the man ner in which the JSorthcote and Ponsonby Steam Ferry Company (Limited) are carry ing on their service between Auckland and Northcote. The p.s. Devonport has been run so long without any stoppage for re pairs that on Thursday lust she broke down completely. 'I he Company then chartered the s.s. jo, alias Gemini, a boat about as fit to tun a decent ferry service as the s.s. Southern Cross would be for a direct liner Borne. The passengers had to be landed at the wharf in a dingy, many being so frightened that they declared they would rather walk from the North Shore than cross in her again. On Friday evoning the Jo was reulaced by the City of Cork. This steamer had beeu laid up for some time, and was in a must filthy condition ; the cubins were saveral inches .deep in water; tue smell of the bilge-water was unbearable, and, although it wai blowing and raining hard, pisseigers were compelled to stop on deck, the ouly protection from the weather being a narrow bridge. On Saturday morning the crew, by hard woik during the ni^lit, had succeeded in clearing one of the cuniDs ol wa'.oi'i si that pas>cugera who could put up with ihe stench could manage to get out of the rain. The stern cabin it was impossible to get. free from water, and on Sunday was at least »ix inches deep, and the water gaining every hour. To show the condition of the steamer, I may men (ion that the .^teru cabin was locked pur posely so that pap.sem.ers should uot see the actual state ot affairs. JN'pw, sir, all this might have been avoided if their en gineer's advice had been taken. Wo have been- told that no other steannr but the City of Cork was to be got, but, unless I am wrongly informed, no effort was ever made to get any other, for no doubt the Tainui could have been chartered from the Noith Shore Co, Sir, we are con tinually being informed through the papers of the great improvements going on ia the Birkenhead dis trict, of the new houses being bnilt, of the new steamer that is to be built, &c,, &c, bat if those who do this would wiite 1; sh and work more, there is no doubt the feny service wxiuld be improved, and the whole district be the gainer. Rumours of the starling of »n opposition bo.it are cur rent, and if true now is the time for a Btart. —Your?, &c, Resident.

P.S. — fcince the above was written the City of Cork has been docked, and the Tainui has taken her place, but the former vessel is to go on again in a day or so.

THE PROPOSED NEW FIRE INSUR ANCE BILL.

(To the Editor.}

Sir, —It was very considerate of the Chamber of Commerce ou Friday to pass a resolution, "That tbe Chamber approve of the general prinsiples of the bill." One of these principles, anil I tbink the most objectionable, is, that every Fire Insurance Company carrying on business shall deposit ten thousaud pounds of securities in the hands of thu Government. This means that every English Insurance Company having an agency or wishing to commecce business in New Zealand must first deposit the above sum. It is extraordinary", con sidering that the .English Fire Insurance Companies that have been doing business to the amount of hundreds ot millions for the last century, that there should have been no agitation on the part of public for tbe Government to compel tbe companies to iiud securities ; but on the contrary the colonial com panies can and do establL-.li agencies, and do business in Great Britain without bavinsr to fird securities But tho Colonial Fire Insurauce Compauies now a-k the Colonial Govern meut to legislate and make restrictions which will have a ten dency to create a monopoly, and I am aware that most of tha fire insurers ot Auckland know what it means when they are at the mercy uf Fire insurance Com panies' combinations, with an extortionate tarili' placod before them, and no competi tion, i agree with one remark of the Chair man of the Chamber of Commerce, " Tbe public might be trusted to discern those companies that were stable and based en sound commercial pricciples ;" although to create artificial restrictions, to prevent free competition, and a return to the old combinations in the prudential measure of (iro in.snraucc, U not either wise or good policy ou tlie pait cf the Government, and it appears that the Chambers of Commerce ot both Welling on and Ximaru thinK so, and have iustructcd their members to oppose the bill.—l am, &c,

Fiek Insurer,

SlK,—The Insurance Companies Bill, discussed at the late meeting ot the Chamber of Commerce, should be published in extenso, that the public might have the opportunity of knowing what powers are asked. Competition doubtless is not profit able to the companies, but it beneli'a the public, and anything that tends to uphold combination or prevent a fair competi tion should be strenuously opposed. Anxiety for the public security very often means the maintenance of monopolies. Of course, it is not always possible to ensure good dividends where competition is ex cessive, but on the whole the public bene fit. There is.an old adage, "High rate of interest, doubtful security," and if the public do not exeicise discretion, they can only have themselves to blame.—Yours, Vox Populi,

THE BLUE RIBBON ARMY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln" a recent issne of the Stak ap peared a letter from Mr Sheppard, com plaining of "temperance so-called teachers entrapping little children," and also "tempting infanta to disobey their parents." As lam a committee man of the school in question, you will allow me to say that Mr Sheppard must have got his information second-band, and, of coarse, a little mixed up. The speaker (Mr S. Hemus) told the children not to disobey their parents; and I myself went per aonally to the children and told tbem to ask their parents'. permission to "wear the blue." But, sir, writing about " children being entrapped," does he mean children being ."entrapped" into a fold where they may grow up into manhood —free and uncontaminatea — from the greatest curse that ever blighted human happiness? What parent can feel indig nant when a temperance lecturer points out the evils of drunkenness, and attempts to instill into the young mind a desire for a life temperate nnd happy ? Those parents who will allow their children to join Bands of Hope, or don the bit of blue, may rest assured their infants will not be entrapped to disobey them, but to grow up with out the liquor that mars the brain, enfeebles the body, and endangers the sail, peoples tbe workhouses, tills our prisons, and overruns the asylums of the insane; and no man with a real desire for bis children's welfare will, for one moment, deny that he who can by word or deed rave a human being from the curee of excessive drinking is anything else but a public benefactor, whoso mission is humane and holy. -I am, &c,

R. W. Wills.

Otahuhu,

Pie,—The thanks of the community are certainly due to Mr Hheppard, of Otahuhu, for calling the attention of the public to the system of " entrapping children " practised by tbe Blue Ribbonitcs. How harrowing to one's f flings to think of the pernicious effect upon society had the drunkards and vagrants who now frequent our Police Courts beou entrapped into signing tho total abstinence pledge years ago, when they were innocent, artless little children. 'Ihe late llev. S. Edger once said that "he would rather be held responsible for all the livery in the shape cf badges, etc., than for one wretched drun kard's home," but then he was a preacher of tint "most intemperate doctrine of total abstinence." Shame in you, tcetntaller?, for cadeavouiiug to train up children to walk in the only safe path if they would avoid the drunkard's doom. Congratula ing your correspondent in his interest for the welfare of the young, —I am, etc.,

THE MAYOR AND THE LOCK HOSPITAL.

(To the Editor.)

Sik,—Will yon kindly allow me a word i n reply to some statements of the Mayor on I hursday re the Lock Hospital and the Con ' tagious Diseases Act, v, if uncoil^* they are calculated to produce quite an erroneous impresr-lon in 'tho minds of n« sons uniformed 6u this subject "Pil' mouth and the other large towns," he £3" had petitioned against the repeal of the Act." This is only half the truth and most misleading. The whole truth pCs the matter in a totally different light and might, have led the Council to a different decision. Here are the trne faot» (See appendix 23 of the Evidence 1882 i From 1870 to 1881 the number of petitions from Plymouth and other subjected nlaeeH against repe.il were only 3S, with 3 28G signatures On the other hind— and this is the big half the Mayor did not give daring the fame period no less than 476 petititDS were presented to the Hoase of Commons, with 56.757 sienatures of persona resident in Plymouth and other subjected i.laces, praying for the total repeal of the Act?. As showing the tone of public opinion at Home re this kind of legislation I may add that while from 1370 to 1881 only 45 petitions, with 3,579 signatures, were presented in favour of the Acts during the fame period no less than 10,135 petitions, with nearly 2,250,000 signatures, were presented in favour of their total repeal-one, from women only, had the enormous number of 248.0C3 signatures • while one from the medical men ot Belfast' recently presented, was signed by two-thirds of the practitioners there. All the princi pal Nonconformist Churches in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, have passed resolutions condemning the a eh andprayin? for repeal; and about 2,000 clergy of the established Church of England signed a memorial to the same effect, Much more might be said. These facts should suffice to shew the nature of the Contagious Diseases Act, and the kind of opposition it must receive when the Christian men and women of Auckland really kcow what the Mayor is forcing on the city.—Yours, &c ,

PROPOSED BAPTIST TABERNACLE.

A mketini; of the members of the Welleslej-street Baptist congregation is to be held to-night foi the purpose of confirm ing the action oi the Building Committee re the new Tabernacle, and also to give authority to the architect (Mr Edmund Bell) to invite tetders forthwith for the erection of the projected building. It is intended to build either with brick or con» crete, so that alternative tenders will bero< quirtd, and it is expected that the bnlidlog will be ready for occupation about a year bence. The site is a block of land about an acre in aiea at the corner of Upper Queen-street and Karangabape Road ha\Tg a frontage of 198 to the lattex thoroughfare, and of 142 feet to the former! It is proposed that the Tabernacle, which will measure 70 x 115, feet ahall front the Karangahape .Road, but standing far eriouga back to allow of a i margin of about 30 feet on either sld£ which (leavirjg room for a footway) will be plauted with tree*. The fagade will be in the Coiinthian style of architectuie, the pediment being supported by six 'massive columns, and the portico being approached by a flight of Bix stcpi, fourteen inch treads, six inches deep, and sixty feet wine, Tae float door will open outward, flanked by two side doors, in two leaves, and the roof will be slated. In addition, there are to be two side entrances to the vestibules in the rear, one from Upper Quten-street, and the other from Karanga* hape Road. The auditorium will have an a ea of 65 x 56 feet, aud will be horse-eke in shape, ihe seats radiuting from the centre, while the rostrum will be 3 fee) high, 8 x 14 feet in size, with circular pannelied front attached containing the baptistry. There will likewise be a gallery of horse-shoe shape, with the joists and girders so arranged as not to impede the view irom tne pulpit. It will have an ornamental open iron, front, will contain five tiers of seats, and will be furnished with four exits, viz,, two from thu front of the building and two from the sides. Jt is concluded that the gallery should accommodate 450 people, and the ruaiu auditorium 550, or I,OCO in all, and it the schema does not prove too expensive, it is proposed to furnish the church with chairs; otherwise, seats with inclined backs. Particular attention will be paid to the acoustic properties of the building, and the scats will be so arranged that no one will be more than 50 feet distant from the preacher. The upper auditorium will hive four windows on either side and three in front, and at Light it will be lit up by a central "sunlight," with reflectors and brackets attached to the walls, w'iile the ventilating will be dona in accordance with Boyle's patent, a shaft being carried up through the roof to the turret-ventilator, and iogress tubes being l.t into the walls as well as perforated air-boxes under the floor. Similar a» raogements will obtain in the other; divisions of the building, Taking ad« vantage of a fall in the ground, a basement story will be built underneath '.he chapel, 11 feet hiph and 44 x 61 feet in size, contain ing kitchen, storeroom, lavatories, andsocii | room. A corridor proceeding irom a ves tibule at the rear of the church affords access to the infants' class-room, 29 x 25; the com* mittee-room, 16x 28; pastoi'droom, 17x13) Sub-committee-room, 11 xIS, ladies'lava* tory, and two room?, 10 x 11 each, for mole and female candidates for baptism, every apartment being supplied with fireplaces, Ihe main Sunday-Echool ball, 65 x 24, and 28 feet in height, is situated above tkeae rooms, and it will besub-div'dedby mo'TaMi screens into class rooms. It also commnnl cates immediately with the gallery. Tha arrangements seem to be complete, well-planned, andjeffective, and the build* ing should prove to bs both handsome and commodious, a credit to the body to whom it will belong, -and a monument of Mt Spurgeon's success and usefulness ia tha pastorate.

Saved From the Poorhouse.



For years David Allinfrsworth saflored with rheumatism,and notwithstanding the best medi cal attendance could not find relief. He came to the Sciotia County Poorhouao, and had to be carried into and out of bed on account of his helpless condition. After tho failure of all tho remedies which had been applied, the directors of tho Poorhouso resolved to use tho colcbratad German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil, and this was a fortunate resolution; for, with tho trial of one bottle, the patient was already better, and when four bottles had been used upon him he could again walk about without the uso of a cane The facts, as above stated, will bo verified by the editor of the Portsmouth (Ohio) Corres pondent, U.S.A.
