THE SUEZ MAIL.

Bradshaw's " New Zealand As It Is." lb his"" NeW Zealand As It.ls" (just issued in a' handy 12s volume by Sampson, Low, and Co.), Mr John Bradshaw" (who styles himself J.P. both in England and the colonies) has done for South Canterbury und North Ofago what Mr Deltale Hay, in "B'ighter Britain," attempted to do for Auckland and the Kaipara. Mr Bradshaw's wo. k, though less crisp and flippant than Mr Hay's, is far more practical and matter of-fact. The design of tbe latter appeared to be'principaUy to astonish people. This could only be done by painting life up. country in very artificial colours", and repre senting as everyday occurrences circum stances which were realty exceptional, Now such devices may Illegitimate enough in fiction, but in a hand-book about a new c6ldnythey become dangerously misleading. Unfortunately, the very faults which would damn " Brighter Britain" in an ex perienced1 settler's eyes, made the r volume specialty attractive to the English re viewer.o. These gentlemen naturally found Mr Deliale Hay's amusing yarns and exaggerated descriptions of life on the Kaipara very entertaining reading, and being personally unable to judge of the accuracy of the author's narrative they naturally presumed it to be strictly Veracious.' Unfortunately Home critics were equally lenient' to Captain Jackson Barry's famous " t-ps and Downs " when it came out three years ago, though now that historic work is to be purchased (by the stack-load) from ilolywell-sireet book stalls for the modest sum of 9d. Mr Brad shaw's "New Zealand as it is" ought to command a ready sale both at Home and in the .colonies; unlike the work* ot.Mr Rusden and Mr Hay it has been issued, at a reasonable price, and in such a form as to make it an acceptable addition to an intend ing emigrant's or touiist'slibrary. Mr Brad shaw opens with sotoe s ;nsible introductory remarks about the various ways of reaching i* ew Zealand, but does not dally IODg over the familiar and well worn subjects of sea life aod 'board ship troubles. The author and hii family voyaged by sailing vessel to Port LytteltoD, and with the intention of settling somewhere in South Canterbury, aud to that district, after some days stay in Ohristchurch, they betook themselves. Their first impressions were eminently favourable, the south especially being very different from what they had been led to expect it might be. Canterbury folks as a matter of fact, are nototiuusly the best-bred and most exclusive of colonists, so that little surpri.e need be expressed at Mr Bradshaw rockoniug them fully up to the level of Engli-u county folk. Further north, I >m inclined to think, he would slightly, modify tbia opinion., Mr Brad shaw found his letters of introduction mont useful, and advises all intending emigrants to secure as many aa passible, He saya, "We would urge upon thoae who intend to visit or settle iv New Zealand, the d-sirability of bringing letters of introduc lion. How often lias the remark been made, and especially by young men : I have lota of letters in my portmanteau, but I don't Intend to deliver them, it is such a bore." Thote who make such foolish state ments, must either have brought letters to the wrong sort of people aud found out their mistake, or they must entimate at little worth the value of their friends kind inten tions. Letters of introduction at once place the new arrival in acomfortable position, The effect these have upon an old colonist, is that "he is one of u«." To those who prefer pot-house and biiliatd-room to good society, we would say: "By all means, you duffer, keep your letters ia your port manteau," To those who wouid enjoy society we would say : "By all means deliver your letters ; they will procure you a hearty welcome. It does not matter much to what we belong, letters of intro duction are always exceedingly useful. This sounds good advica on the surface, but I don't know whether it is so in reality. Tho "letter of introduction" has recently become a very serious nuisance to people of any position in New Z-.land—bunk mana gers, squatters, merchant*, and professional men are simply inundated with them, it is not as if English friends were scrupulous either in giving or taking favours of the kind. "So you are going out to New Zea land are you ?' says Brown to Jones. " Well, I'll get you a letter of introduction to my sister-in-law's husband's cousin, who is a bank manager at Timaru. He's got lots ot influence, my dear fellar, and will procure you a billot in two two's; I met him out at dinner once." Many men put petsons whom they are not even acquainted with to endless trouble on no better pround than the above, and of late there has been a disposition on the part of recipients to kick acainst the practice. When this happens the "new chum" thinks tbe resident a brute, and wonders whether al: the talk about hospitality of which he lias heard is " moonshine," As a matter of fact, the home friend who gave him the letter is really to blame, for he has pro bably taken a gross liberty with a bare acquaintance. No, my advice to "new etiuraa" would be : "Be very careful from whom you accept letters, and present them only to those whom you are sure the writers were really friendly with." Though plain aud practical, Mr Brad sbaw'a writing ia neither uninteresting aor destitute of.humour. He describes "ataiton life" with vigour and fidelity, gives a vivid picture of his f-rm home, and hits off with good-natured perspecuity the "«ort of men we colonists are." On all the great New Zealand questions he ib a specially rase guide, bring neither absurdly sanguine nor unnecessarily the reverse, The future he predict*, for the colony is natutally a prospfrous one, but he can see as plainly as most of us pit-falls ahead. Altogether, at ,ha» been said, Mr Bradshaw's book ia one whioh should be road, and I make no doubt you will review it carefully, and at length in due course,

Prise Firing.

The last two matches of tho season were finished on Saturday afternoon at the Mt. Eden Range —viz., the ladies' and the Honorary Members' matches. The after noon turned out fine and induced numbers of spectators to witness the contest for the trophies, — one being a very handsome bracelet, presented by Mrs J. M. Clark, and the other to be purchased by the en trance fees, There were sixteen entries, but owing to the absence of Mr James Biden Fairs, only fifteen competed, Mr M. J. Moore scored the highest number for tbe Ladles' Prize, but Mr Hay has lodged a protest which will be considetod in committee. Tbe results of the competition will be seen by the follow ing scores. Ladies' match, at '200 and 300 yards distances s—M, J. Moore, hon. mem., 38; D. Hay, No. 3, 37 ;W. B. White. No. 3, 36; Hoski-jj, hon. mem., 35; J. Hund ley, Vie, 34; C. Taylor, Vie, 34; JVC.

Only three competitors entered lor the Honoraiy Members' match, viz. : M. J. Moore, 35; Hosking, 29 ; Major Pirie, 28. Mr Moore, therefore, won the prize, showing the ad vantage of regular practice. Mr Fair?| who had been detained from attendance earlier, iircd a match with Lieutenant Connolly for a new boll-topper, at 300 yards, live shots each, and won the hat.

THE CITY HALL.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,--Again and again have the public sig nified their approval of the Urey-street junction being the most suitable site for tbe City Hall, &c. However, with a strange perversity, some of our city fathers appear to cling to the idea that some out-of-the* way place would do equally as well. By all means secure tbe allotment beyond the Army and Navy Hotel, as well as the hotel and the site at tbe back. The situation is central and commanding, and when the Baptist community have b en able to pay a latge p-ice for a gcod site for a chapel, surely a rising community like Auckland are warranted in securing a good site for their municipal buildings. I was pleased to see ex-Councillor t'ffer reminding his la'e colleagues of their duty. — Yours, &c, RAT-PAYER

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE PROGRESS OP WOMEN. Him

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Rapid strides have been made by women intellectually within the last treaty years. "ISO woman .ever wrote it," ,was the cry, as Billy as conceited, raised by men less than twenty years ago,if anything par ticularly good subscribed, !'A Woman" appeared in print, To day, should the best article by mortal penned appear in priat bearing a feminine signature, it wonld pass unchallenged. It is believed, even ;by the Adam nature still disgracefully ram pant in some men—the barbarous nature— which having denied to woman a liberal education, yet mercilessly drags her intel lect up to the severest standard of criticism, though it knows right well tbat her capa bilities are wholly untrained, undeveloped, unreasoning, unreflecting Adam. Women* interests are fairly, represented nowhere f neither in the social, political, nor religions world. She justly therefore,for her children's sake, claims the right to make hervoiea heard, and if man were man, fits very feebleness were its mighleat power, since tho necessary training of thoughts aud of Bpeecb —admittedly necessary to man—lias fce_' denied to her through no fault of her own, Men talk against time, and wiite against space; but, educated as man is-educaietf woman will soon teach them tbat reaero; reflection, mean something vastly different from words, words, words, drawn out to infinitude,with nothing in them. The result of such reasoning as Been abroad in the world, might well make angels weep, Man has nothing to boast of with a__~ " reasoning powers in full exercise^ as he fancies. Stupid blunders and stupid failures mark every step of his way* ward course, and shall woman, in her enforced ignorance, be expected to escape the blundering stupidity of maul; Not wholly, certainly. Bat she shall presently nail man's "reasoning" to. facts, dry, hard facts, with such persistency its shall make ugly things to ugly as to constrain him to bring bis God-given reason to bear to some purposeon all the ills ot life. Donotfor God'a sake, for truth's sake, talk of reason till this ia done. The very atones cry out against man's vaunted " reason,"-, for even they have a beauty aud a use that sack " reawn " has never yet dreamed of. a Still I life, active life, all true life, waits on the higher and nobler development of the reasoning powers wasted in words, wows, words, nothing but words. Oh, it is Sick ening, so much so,: indeed, tbat no. room is left for anything that can be fitly namtu originality iv woman. Her present work to level with the dust the tens of thousands of Dragons man has set up before she can properly originate—build up; except as the pulling down is in tbe best sense a building up,paradoxical though this appears to tbe unreflecting. Verily, the Adam nature botrajs man to his fall no less ctr tainly to-day than in Eden.—-ours, <«c.i A WOMAN.

The object of this Company is to provldo ton nage suitable to tho growing trade of the Port of Auckland, so that the imports and exports of our city may be as much as possible carried in locally-owned vessels, and tho shipping business carrlod on by a purely local com- The* rates of freights current in this colony compare most favourably with those ruling in neighbouring colonies, and are, as a rule, sufficiently remunerative to leave a good proilt, trading nonce either foreign or intercolonial. Tho acknowledged daily increasing commer cial importance of Auckland is a souroe of gratification, and the shipping trade, under skilful management and with sufficient capital, would moot with Bjoody and great dovolop niont with many parts of tho VVorld with which wo are at pro-ont not in absolutely direct com munication. Tho objeot of this Company is to provide ves sels to trade in tho directions already opened, and others whloh may from time to time offer Inducements. , ■ '><■- There is ample room for a well-organised now line between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with New York, and with some of the larger Centres of Continental European trade. Of course, tho large and increasing export of bulk and sawn timber will form an Important adjunct. A trado with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, „c, being al ready established, could easily be continued With regularity, whilst tho Newcastle and Grey mouth coal trades Bhould be also provided for. There Is a vast Hold in prospective for a good trade with America, Mauritius, China, Manilla, Calcutta, the Cape, Noumea, and numerous foreign ports, with some ot which, even at the present moment, a profitable direct trade is being carried on In a desultory manner, and whloh would find support from the new in dustries lately established here and in prospec tive establishment. Tho Company do not propoae to limit them selves to running their own vessels, but will from time to time charter vessels when re quired, in tho event of theirlown not being immediately available Messrs Stone Brothors, who have tor some time carried on a good shipping business, and who have now fairly started a now London lino, posscsß the nucleus of a fleet suitable for com mencing operations, and arrangements have been tnado to take over tholr vessels and the good-will of their shipping bußlnesa for the Sum of thirty thousand six hundred and fifty pounds (_30,650), thoy taking half the amount in Com pany's shares. Their fleet, consisting of 8 vessels, with aggregate tonaago of 2612 tons, should bo augmented as soon as possible, so that the business may be extondod without delay, especially tho London and American branches. The servioes of Mr C. B. Stone, as managing director, and the staff at present under his control, who are experienced in this line of business, have been secured to take office under tho new Company. .... It is further proposed that tho working ex penses should be conducted on strictly economi cal principles, the expense of agencies and branches to be defrayed out of commissions on the actual freights earned by those branchea. The proposed capital is set down'at £150,000, but as only a small portion is required at present for the purohaßO of the existing fleet and con tingent expenses, further capital will not be called up until vessels suitable for the London and other trades may offer for sale at reasonable prices, until which time it is proposed to charter vessels as required to supplement the present fleet. It is proposed to invite all Auokland business men and all who may have any interest in the trade of our port to take Shares In this local Company, and to give the undertaking every possible support. The Company would thus be in a measure self-supporting, and strong enough to compote most successfully with any outside or foreign company or foreign shipping. The Company could thou not fail to be a credit to our port and a most lucrative investment to Shareholders. The promoters having every confidence in the success of the undertaking.- now appeal to itho public to insure it by subscribing freely tor Shares. LIST OF VESSELS.
