In addition to tho list of subjects Jfjfrriished', drill'and sewing had been at tended to, au,tl while tlic latter has been most successfully..taught,,the former has been the least successful .of. anything aL, tempted in the school, and wholly through the inertia of the -pupils themselves,;'who either look upou the -whole thingl as a. joke, or try to shirk it altogerher. i Thc-cxamin atioii papers were given to tlic pupils oh a certain day, and comploted' at one sitting.

ANGLO- COLONIAL SUMMARY.

|M:,.m orr. l.iis'l.os CORRESPONDENT.]

LuN'iiON", November S,

A Frozen Meat Cal'go.

Tin: Lyttelton, Captain Strang, from Port Chalmers, arrived at the Docks on the sth November with a cargo of frozen meat,

consisting of 0,500 carcases of mutton and a few rabbits, Sec Owing to some hitch in

connection with one of the engine.3, the chambers hud not lust night (November 7) been opened, so I am unable to say in what condition the meat is. Mr Chief, engineer, states I hat the average temperature of the chambers was •_() de"_. Fahrenheit, which sounds far too high. They were, however, nt times down tv <l or a below zero. The Lyttelton made n smart run home of 72 days, leaving Port Chalmers August 21, rounding Cape Norn Oth September, cross ing the line on .Sth October, and fighting land on November i!. Desertions from the Navy. I The Service papers announce that the Admiralty find it necessary to take some steps to cheek Iho desertions that aro con stantly occurring from Her Majesty's ships on Hie Australian and l'anilic stations. They, therefore, intend sending out five experienced ship corporals, who will bo dis tributed throughout, the fleet, and accom pany tlic men ashore whenever general leave is jriven. These ollieers sail for the colonies next week, and are expected to afford the local authorities valuable assist ance in tracking refugees, &c. According to tlic " Daily Telograph," Miss Lingard made a great success last Wednesday afternoon in a vory dull, stupid piny, entitled "Agnes of Bavaria." The piece was given at the Gaiety as a matinee, and would have been cordially hissed but for lhe grand acting of Miss L. in tho title ri'ilo. it is understood that Mr Thomas Richards, the London meat contractor (who left for Christchurch a few days ago, and means to visit all the principal towns in the colony), goes out at the instance of a syndicate of metropolitan butchers to investigate the mysteries of the frozen meat business, and see if sundry difficulties and drawbacks cannot bo overcome. Claim by an Auckland Colonist. The appeal case of Nadin v. Bassett came before Lords Justices Cotton and Lindley at the Supreme Court of Judicature yester day (Nov. 7). According to tho "Times," it was an appeal from an order of Mr Justice Kay's directing the appointment of special examiners to take the evidence of the plaintiff and other witnesses on his behalf in New Zealand, without prejudice to the right of the defendant to cross-examine the plaintiff at tho trial of die' action. The action was in substance an action for ejec tion in respect of certain property which had been purchased by the defendant, "subject to any claims which might be raisedl.by James Nadin." James Nadin had a title to tho property as heir-at-law, but he had been absent from England for a long time, and had not been heard of for 24 years. The plaiutiffclaimed as being James Nadin, and his ease was that he had resided near Auckland, N.Z., botli before and since his title to tho property accrued. The issue 'was mainly one of identity, and the de fendant's base was that it was of the great est importance that plaintiffs . evidence should lie given in the presence of persons who could testify to his identity. Their lord: hip? varied the order of the Court be low by directing that the deposition of the plaintiff, if taken abroad, should not be read ut the trial without the consent of the de fendant, and that the names of the other proposed witnesses should bo furnished., Tawhiao'- Mission to England. it is with regret 1 infer from the corres pondence appended hereto that the forth coming Maori mission, headed by Tawhiao, is to be engineered in Great Britain by Mr Chosson and the Aborigines Protection Society. Nothing could possibly be more detrimental' to the interests of the colony in general, and the Maoris in particular, than such an arrangement. Surely you good people would rather pay the expenses of Tawhiao'. excursion than allow him to make his appearance here under the aegis of a, common charity. It was all very well ol Mr Chesson to espouse the cause and Collect rash rm behalf of the three vagrant natives who postured as a Maori mission in_ London during the summer of ?82. What Taiwhanga elio-e to do thon "was of little cons Tjiieiice, as .neither he nor his com-. ! paniiins in reality represented anybody.' 'f_wiiiai>, however, is a very different per son, and ii lie comes at all he should come v.iili money in his pocket and attended by a proper suite of chiefs, interpreters, &c. You don't want it to bo supposed that the leaders of the great race, whom it has taken you years to .conquer, are so wholly in sijniilicant as to be only interesting from a charitable point of view. Let Mr Chesson be politely informed that as the mission will be vouched for by the colony, and properly supplied with the introductions, &c.,iieces sary, his good offices will not be required If tliis be done, if the visit bo short,.and above all if there be no sending round the hat, Tawliiao's trip will be a sucp_ss,- and tho crtitt attending it both a creiiit and a benetit t~> tlio colony. Lenclose the corres pondence which .appoarod in the daily papers of October 31st. The first lettei is* from Mr . Chesson, Secretary of ■ the Aborigines' Protection Society to the Carl of Derby.' It etacloses a copy of a letter: received from the four Maori'members of • the House of Representatives in New Zea land, and' adds: "Your lordship 'will observe that the writers express the dissatis faction with which their countrymen regard the Native Land Courts, arid ask that the powers now exercised by these Courts should be transferred to an electire body of natives. They further ask that the new Board, when constituted, should be em powered to pass laws for the Maoris, sub ject, to the approval of the Governor." Mr Chesson continues: ".We attach special' importance to this letter, because it puts in an intelligible form the. views of the most influential natives as to the best mode of settling the questions at issue between the two rapes. Heretofore they have often ex pressed themselves on these subjects' with -perplexing vagueness. : Wo regret that the Maori representatives 'in the New Zealand Legislature should apparently bo unable to obtain from the Colonial Government those reasonable concessions to native feeling which .would, ensure the peaceful opening' up of the King Country ; and thatih conse "qtienco they consider it necessary that Tawhaio, the Maori King, 1, should visit , Knglanijl.'at.'tlie.he.ld. of a deputation of chiefs, -in-order, to petition Her.Majesty to. protect tho rights of her native subjects in ■i\e\r Zealaiid?'.': The letter of the four Maori members—»Wi Te Whero, Hone Molii Taw_ai, Heriaro, Tomoann,: and Hi' ,R. Taiaroa—is'verylocjg. After reviewing-, their alleged grievances}- connection with the Courts, it says ;— "'Every yearlaws are mado taking the con trol of laud more out-of our hands, and vosting it in ' the Minister for Native Allatrs, and our voices, being but four, are powerless against S7 representing the European portion of tho population in the Now Zealand Parliament. With regard to tho railway, wo will be compelled to obstruct its progress until 'the question of land is settled, as we did tho survey at Waitara, not with any desire to cause the • shedding of blood, but because it is the'only method wo now have of offering resistance. It is the intention of Tawhaio, whom we recognise as the head of our race, to visit your end of tho world shortly, for the purpose of petitioning hor Majesty on these Wings,, In the menntimo wo mako them known to you, in the hope that a knowledge of Onr •desires may assist you and'tho' (Society that has so often madq its influence ■ felt -for good in remote places to continue the aid that has been so kindly extended to jtlie people for whom we sign." ■,-..! - ' Lord Derby acknowledges the receipt of the letter with its enclosure, and states that it has been referred to the Governor of the Colony for the observations of his ( 'government. • "• -' " ''• ■■" ""'»'
