ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

§FBOM OTO OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Mr Vosoy Stewart's Arrangements. MnVESEYSTEWABT'snew handbook," Notes on the Stewart Special Supplement No. 4, with a Short History of the Previous Settle ments and Future Prospects " {sic), is out. It makes a good thick pharnphlet of 123 pages, and as an advertisement is pretty well done. I cannot, however, learn that Mr Stewart has, up to the present time, lured many people into pledging themselves to become farmers'at Te Puke. The Nor thumberland will unquestionably sail full, but the majority of the passengers are likely to bo attracted by the cheap fares rather than by Mr Ste wart's "laudishments." The fact is the day for finding innocents who will buy a a colonial "pig in a poke" has gone by never to return. Intending emigrants can learn far moro nowadays than they could ten years back. Men like Captain Ashby, who know the colonies thoroughly well, have settled in London, and are ready to give sound advice to all applicants. These worthies have mostly property in Now Zea land themselves, and it is not to their interest that promising settlors should be deluded into bad bargains over here. Shipping and Passenger Notes. The overflow passengers by the Triumph are being taken on per Aberdeen a.s. (via Melbourne). Amongst the New Zealand bound voyagers on this vessel may be men tioned Mr .Fred. Lauronco (a gentleman travelling for his health) and Miss Maria Laurence; also Messrs Arthur Bland, Totten ham, and Swinford, and Mr and Mis Grey and family. A London auctioneer named Thomas W. Woodin goes out to Auckland in the Triumph witli his wife and family. Ho says ho wants to sco how the " knights of the hammer " do business at the antipodes. Mr Sedsam, a retired jeweller from Bir mingham, has booked through for Now Zealand per steamer Abordeen. Mr J. M. Insull, a Clifton (Bristol) gentleman of means and position, is a pas senger per steamer lonic for Christchurch. Colonists who know Dover may bo in terested to learn that Mr and Mrs Vallanco, witli their family of ten children, are just about to emigrate to New Zealand. Mr J. Peppercorn, a "retired" London butcher, who has amassed a considerable fortune, intends emigrating to Auckland in November next with his wife and family. Mr Peppercorn takes an extra ordinary interest in the New Zealand frozen meat industry, which he has studied with great care since its initia tion : and his chief object in visiting the colony is to soo whether he cannot put some of his older sons in the way of making a fortune out of the business. Captain Bone, late of the Rangitikei, who acted as second oliicor aboard the lonic on her first voyage to the colony, has been transferred to the N.Z.S. Co.'s new steamer Tongariro. Trial of tbe New Zealand Gunboats —Sir P. D. Boll's Dinner Party at Greenwich, For several days past some small grey vessels, apparently about the size of Yarrow and Hedley's steam launches, have been shooting up and down tho Thames between Greenwich and Westminster. These are tho four new torpedo boats ordered by the Government of New Zealand for purposes of colonial defence, and on Wednesday last (September 19) thoy were duly tried at Greenwich in the presence of a large and distinguished company of Anglo-Colonials. The Lord Mayor of London and the Clovornor of the Bank of England were asked, and had promised, to horour Sir Francis Bell witli their company, but when tho time for making a start arrived they did not put in an appearance, and we eventually left Westminster Bridge Pier in a couple of steam launches without them. Tho visitors numbered about fifty, and in cluded Sir Saul Samuel (Agent-General N.S.W.), Mr Murray Smith (Agent-General Victoria), Mr Bramston (Assistant Under secretary Colonies), Sir Julius Vogel, Major- General Harding Steward, SirChas. Clifford, Lieutonant-Colouel Drury, MrCashol Floey, Mr Belfield (lute of tho " Tiraaru Herald"), Mr A. Baker (of Wellington), Mr Coster, Mr Farmer (of Auckland), Mr Geo. Vesey Stewart, Mr Strickland, Mr P. Cunningham (of Christchurch), Mr Kennaway, Sir P. •Julgan, Mr Waterhouse, M.L.C., Mr Donald Larnach, Sir T. Tancrcd, Rev, Mr Bell, Mr C. Strudo (of Otago), Mr Hugh Cavleton, Professor Steadman Aldis, Mr Geo. Buckley (Canterbury), Captain Clayton - Brown (Canterbury), Mr E. Jellie and Dr. Rons (Canterbury), Messrs Barnaby and Russell Bremner, representatives of tho London " Titties," "Telegraph," " Chronicle," and "Home News." and of tho Auckland Stau, Dunodin "Star," "Lytteltou Times,"Mid Christchurch "Star." Sir Dillon Bell received everyone- with great cordiality, and the run down to Greenwich was accom plished in excellent time. Tho only regrot felt seemed to be that Sir John Hall should not have been able to be present, as he has always taken a great interest in the colonial defence quostion.

Arrived at Greenwich, tho four torpedo boats ran alongsido, and were at onco suut over the measured mile at full speed. The "TolegrapbV roporter, dosoribing them, says:—"Those vosseln, built wholly of Btec!,are of the second-class pattern carried on board our ironclads. Tho length of each boat i.s G3ft, and the breadth 7ft Gin, with twelve tons displacement and a draught of little over 3ft. They are fitted with compound condensing engines of 1301b pressure, the indicated horse-power bein<* 170. Covered with quarter-inch steel plates, they are bullet-proof, though, it is needless to say, not impervious to projectiles poured by the Nordenfeldt guns—which are tho armament they themselves carry— or tho Gatling, either of whioh engines of destruction would riddlo the small and in sidious foe if her approach were detected in time to get a point-blank aim, Tho attack, however, would bo by night; the advance noiseless till full speed were put on ; and the commotion on board the surprised ship such as, probably, to disorgamso for tho brief interval between the alarm and tho blow all strict discipline and presence of mind. Any slight disturbance, far short of a panic, would suffice to give the torpedo launch a terrible advantage She strikes Oft below water, in the vulnerable part of her giant enemy, the unarmed heel of Arohilles, so to speak ; and the explosive missile is delivered at.tlie end of a polo 20ft long, witli a slight shock to tho launch projecting this deadly weapon, enough perhaps to start a few rivets in her bows, but no moro. Tho ironclad would almost to a certainty be sunk. As the cost of a torpedo-boat, fully equipped, is only about a seventieth part of an ironclad, the oddsmay easily becalculated in this method of warfare. Involved in this consideration is another of still greater importance. The advance in destructive scienco is-such that-every now production of inventive skill is liable to bo speedily rendered obsolete. The pattorn of a beat may be discredited with far less serious effect on tho exchequer than the pattern of a first-class ship, whose uselessness is found out as soon as she is finished. Two of the boats had already been tried the previous afternoon,with the following mean results of six runs on the measured niilo, three up and three clown : The first boat (No. 16S) attained a speed of 17.524 knots, the number of revolutions in a minute being 639; and tho second boat (No. 171) registered 631 revolutions to the minute and 17.324 knots. On Wednesday, tho first of tho two remaining boats (No 169) gave a record of 628 revolutions and a speed of 17.222 knots, while the second (No. 170) afforded 632 revolutions and 17.319 knots. The variation in the number of revolutions, mile for mile, was sur prisingly small, and in the case of ono boat, the first of tho two tried yesterday, it scarcely exceeded a single revolution. The promised speed was 17 knots an hour, which, as will bo seen, has boen exceeded; but Mr Thornycroft (tho builder of Messrs J, Thornycroft & Co.) stated that by re moval of superfluous equipments tho dis placement might be lessened and tho speed commensurately increased, say to as much as 20 knots.

The.trials over, the company proceeded With sharpened appetites to tho world renowned Trafalgar Hotel, where a collation of tho most approved pattern, comprising some_ thirty or forty sorts of fish, not to mention game of every kind, was washed down with really excellent champagne. Sir FrancisDillon Bell, of course, presided, supported by Sir Charles Clifford and Mr Murray Smith on his right, and Mr Brams ton (Assistant Under-Secrotary for tho Colonies) and Sir Saul Samuel on his left.

Lunch over, the Chairman proposed, "Success to the Torpedo Boats." He re minded his hearers that this was not the first time the colony had done something in tho way of providing defences for itself. It wasjust 20 years ago when an insurrection was threatened, that it had been his for tune, as Minister of Native Affairs, to go over to Sydney to build the first of the armed vessels which afterwards went to New Zealand, to tako part in the war then on the point of breaking out. He only re ferred to this for the purpose of showing that then, m now, New Zealand was ready to take its part with the other colonies in doing its duty as a member of the great English Empire for the protection of its

own coast and the maintenance of its own defences. It was not long since the Im perial Government had asked them to tako their part in the defence of their harbour?, and all the Australian and New Zealand Governments had begun to do their share in fulfilment of that duty which everyone recognised. The Government of New Zea land had more port? to defend than any other of the great Australian colonies, and he took this opportunity of remarking that he looked upon the four torpedo boats which had just been tried as fulliliing in every respect the requirements sought of them. These boats, it was true, were only of the second-class familiar to everyone in the navy, but the Victorian boats which had been launched, and would before long be tried, would be required to main tain for 3 hours consecutively the high speed of 18 knots. It was a significant thing that in these boats the Victorian Govern ment would possess torpedo vessels longer and more powerful than any which belonged to H.Ms. Imperial fleet; but he hoped the time was not far distant when the Admiral would increase the strength of their torpedo boats, and make them equal to those of the Victorian Government. Tho Australasian colonies, which now possessed a trade larger than the whole of the foreign trade at the time of the accession of Queen Victoria, would always recognise as the highest duty and pride tho maintenance of the traditions of England. Ho concluded by associating with the toast tho name of Mr John I. Thorneycroft. Mr Thorneycroft. replied appropriately, and then Sir Julius Vogel proposed Sir Dillon Bell's health, After this had been acknowledged, matters took a more con vivial turn, and it was late in the evening whon the last of the guests again reached Westminster. Tho torpedo boats aro to be sent out by the New Zealand Shipping Company's vessels almost immediately. Arrival or the Opawa.—A Moat Cargo from Southland. The New Zealand Shipping Company's Opawa (Capt. Mathers) arrived at the Docks on Sept. 15th with a large cargo of frozen meat from Southland, the greater part of which has been landed in good con dition. The Opawa left the Bluff on the 2(ith May, and made a very poor run of it to Cape Horn, which was not rounded till' the. 43rd day out (Bth June). From thence to thelinc (crossed on July Ist) favourable winds wcro experienced, and the vessel eventually sighted the English coast on Sept. 12th, and docked three days later, the entire passage having occupied 113 days. The Opawa brings 0,500 carcases of mutton and 100 dozen oysters, besides the usual game, fish, butter, and milk for cabin use. The freez ing apparatus (Haslam's patent) was under the superintendence of Mr James William son, engineer, who reports that the average working time of the engines was 11 hours out of the 24, the longest day's work done during the voyage being 16 hours, and the shortest seven and a-half. The temperature of the freezing chambers averaged 15 deg. Fahr., the lowest ever reached being 5 deg. Fahr., and the highest 22 deg. Fahr. The Opawa's meat was placed on the market at once, but did not realise at ull a good price ; in fact, only 6^d wholesale. The carcases, it appears, were very mixed—some large, some small, some' old, some young. They had evidently not been chosen with the usual care, and several went bad. This is attributed to the fact that the meat was frozen in the ship's chambers to begin with and not ashore.

THE WHAU REGATTA.

The Wliau Regatta, which is to take place on the river of that name, will probably attract a fair amount of patronage from Auckland pleasure - seekers to-morrow. The p.B. Enterprise, which will act as flag ship, will leave the Queen-street Wharf at 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. for the Whan, carry ing competitors and passengers. The band of the Naval Brigade will be in attendance. The following entries have been received in town for the various eventa :—Whale boatßace, Waitemata Boating Club and St. Ueorge's Bay Rowing Club; Stringtest Gigs, Ponsonby and North Shore Rowing Clubs; Dingies, J. Waymouth, junior. Alt. Bailey and others aro expected to enter. Scullers' Race, Albert White, Rob Roy Canoes : A. J. Bloomfield, A. B. Slmlders, James Clare, A. White. The first race is to start at 11 a.m.

DEVONPORT MUSICAL SOCIETY.

Tin: eighth concert in connection with the Devonport Musical Society took place in tho district hall last evening. There was a large attendance, Tho Society choir, under tho conductorship of Mr Gordon Gooch, occupied the platform, and during the evening gave several musical solcctions in good style. Press of other matter pre vents any lengthy rtferenco. Songs were su:ig by Messrs Gordon Gooch, Reid, T. Lander, Arthur Bartloy, Misses Duder, 11. Burgess, Kiccol, Tapper, and by Mrs Simms. Other items included the trio, " Don't Tickle Mo I Pray," by Messrs Voile, G. Reid, and P. Bartley; the duet, " When The Wind Blows in from the Sea," by Miss Harbutt and Mr Gooch. The last itjm on the programme was a scene entitled " The ' Singing Lesson," in which Miss Imder, Mrs C. H. Burgess, Miss H. Bur gess, and Mr G. Reid took part. Mr Alfred Bartley acted as accompanist. *

CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY.

The debate on " Conditional Immortality " was resumed at the Theatre Royal last night. Mr R. Laishley presided during the first half hour, but having to fulfil an en gagement, he then retired, and Rev. C. Carter took his place. The discussion was opened by Mr Brown, who entered into a criticism of the argu monts adduced by Mr Dunn on the previous evening. Rev. T. W. Dunn followed with a speech, in which he brought forward various arguments in favour of the doctrine of mans immortality, drawn chiefly from tho New Testament. The disputants having questioned each other for the allotted half-hour, each made Ins closing speech. The debaters appeared to have about exhausted the subject, as there were no new points of any importance made last night. The audience, however, appeared^ to be as fully interested as on the previous evenings, and was quite as numerous. A vote of thanks to the Chair man brought the meeting to a conclusion. The debate will be resumed and oonoluded this evening.

ANGLO-ISRAEL LECTURE.

Mr 11. Farnall dcllverod a lecturo at the V.M.C.A. Rooms last evening on "The Origin and Destiny of tho British and American Nations." The lecture, being tho first of a series, contained lengthy referenco to the distinction between the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Mr Farnall explained that his intention was to treat the subject so as to establish the identity of the English and American people with tho " Lost Ton Tribes of Israel," historically, prophetically, and politically. The capital of Judah he said was Jerusalem, and the capital of Israel Samaria. The people of Israel revolted against Rehoboam. and botn were sent into captivity. The captivity of Israel took place 721 8.C., and the captivity of Judah 588 B.C. Judah returned from captivity to Jerusalem, and Israel to Media. Judah was spoken of as the "ono" seed, Israel us the "mul titudinous seed." Israel was to bocomc un known, to be " lost." Judah was to be dispersed, broken, and persecuted. Referring to tho Res toration, the lecturer remarking that Israel would be restored, " one of a city, and two of a people," because of their great multitude, for Israel was to bo "as tho sand of the sea." The wanderings of Israel would be traced north wards, and tho Americans could be identified as the descendants of Manassch. Considerable discussion ensued, and at the conclusion-a voto of thanks was accorded to tho lecturer.
