PARNELL BOROUGH COUNCIL.

Tin; Council met at 7.30 last evening. Present—His Worship the Mayor, C'rs. Clarke, ]lood, Winks, MeCabe, Mullins, Brown, and Barber. It wia decided that the. Waterworks By-law shall come into operation on November Ist. It was de cided to inform Mr Rayloy that the Council intended as soon ns possible to form the whole footpath in Alpha Road, it waa de cided to pay fl 12s Gd to the night-soil contractor for compensation in consequence of the bad state of the roads owing to the drainage works. An application from Edward Stiilwell for his building line was referred to the Streets Committee. It was agreed to pay the drainage con tractor ±'350 on account. An oii'er from J. McCallum to lay pipes at foot of Windsor Lane, provided Council found the material, was referred to Works Committee. The question of remedying the nuisance arising from the cesspit in York-street was referred to Cr. Mullins, with power to act, and the same gentleman promise! to bring up a report on the Salis bury-street cesspits at next meeting. An ap plication from Mr ilcCabe for a baggy cross ing in Churton-street was granted on the usual terms. The Foreman of Works was in fitruced to carry the 9-inch drain pipe higher up Gibraltar Crescent, and put in another cesspit. Accounts amounting to JMS os 9d were passed. After the transaction of other business of a routine character the Council adjourned.

RAILWAY IN THE HOLY LAND.

Ottoman Enterprise in Palestine,

Writing frem Haifa on June 13th, a cor respondent says :—When Thackeray fore told that the day would come when the scream of the locomotive would awake the echoes in the Holy Land, and the voice of the conductor be heard shouting, "Ease her, stop her! Any passengers for Joppa ':" he probably did so very much in the spirit in which Macaulay prophesied the Xew Zealandia sitting on the ruins of London Bridge, as an event in the dim future, and as a part of some dis tant impending social revolution ; but the realisation of the prediction is becoming imminent. The preliminary survey has just been completed as far the Jordan, of the Hamidie, or Acre and Damascus Kail way, which bids fair to be the iirst Palestine railway. It is called the Hamidid line because it is named after his present Majesty the Sultan Abdul Hamid, and probably one reason why the Firman has been granted so easily lies in the fact that it passes through a great extent of property which he has recently acquired to the east of the plain of Esdrae lon. The concession is held by ten or twelve gentlemen, sonic of whom are Moslems and some Christians, but all are Ottoman subjects resident in Syria. Among the most influential are the Messrs Sursock, bankers. who own the greater part of the plain of Es draelon, and who haVe therefore a large interest in tho success of the line ; from which it will appear that this is no specula tion of Western promoters or financiers, but a real bona fide enterprise, and one which is likely to become a large source of profit to the holders of the concession and to the shareholders, for it will tap one of the richest grain - producing districts in the East.

I have myself ridden over the line for the first twenty miles, and have just seen the .surveying party, who have returned well satisfied with the facilities whichitoffersfrom tin engineering point of view. Starting from Acre, it will follow tho curve of the bay for ten miles in a southerly direction at a distance of about two miles from the beach. Crossing the Kishon by a sixty-foot bridge, it will turn east at the junction of the .short branch two miles long, at Haifa. Hugging the foot of the Carmel range, so as to avoid the Kishon marshes, it will pass through the gorge which separates that mountain from the lower ranges of tho Galilee hills, and debouch into the plain of Esdraelon. This plain it will traverse in its entire lenghth. Tho station for Nazareth will be distant about twelve miles from that town ; there may, however, be a short branch to the foot of the hills.

So far there has only been a rise from the sea level in twenty miles of two hundred and ten feet, so that the grade is impercep tible. It now crosses the watershed, and commences to descend across tho plain of Jcsreel to the valley of the Jordan. Here the Wade Jalud offers an easy incline as far as Beisan, the ancient Beth shean, and every milo of the country it has traversed so far is private property and fairly cultivated. At Beisan it enters upon a region which has, partly owing to malaria and partly to its insecu rity, oeen abandoned to the Arabs, but it is tho tract of all others which the passage of a railway is likely to transfigure, for the abundance of the water, which is now al lowed to stagnate in marshes and which causes its unhealthiness, is destined to attract attention to its great fertility and natural advantages, which would, with

proper drainage, render it the most profit able region in Palestine. Owing to the ele vation of tho springs, which send their copious streams across the site of Beisan, the rich plain which descends to the Jordan, five hundred feet bciow, can be abundantly irrigated. "In fact," says Dr. Thompson, describing this place in his "Land and the Book," " few spots on earth, and none in this country, possess greater agricul tural and manufacturing advantages than this valley, and yet it is utterly desolate." There is a little bit of engineering required to carry tho line down to the valley of the Jordan, bore eight hundred feet below the level of the sea, which it then follows north as far as the Djisr El Medjamieh. Near this ancient Roman bridge of three arches, which is used to this day by the caravans of camels which bring tho produce of the Hrfuran to the coast, tho new railway bridge will cross the Jordan, probably the only one in the world which will have for its neighbour an actual bridge in use which was built by the Romans, thus, in this now semi-barbarous country, bringing into close contact an ancient and a modern civilisation. After crossing the Jordan, the line will still follow the banks of that river to its junction with the Yarmuk, which it will also cross, and then traverse a fertile plain of rich alluvium, about five miles long by four wide, to the base of the [ridge which overlooks the eastern margin of the Sea of Tiberias. The grantees have also secured the right to put steam tugs upon the Lake of Tibe rias, and under the influence of this new means of transportation, the desolate shores will undergo transformation. Tho great plain of Gennesareth, across which I rode a month ago, is now a waste of tho most luxuriant wild vegetation, watered by three fine streams, besides being well supplied with springs. It was celebrated of old for the amount and variety of its produce, and I' have no doubt is again des tined to be so. Tho plains in which Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum stood formerly are all covered with heavy vegeta tion, which conceals the extensive rains of the cities which once adorned them; and there is a fine back country within easy reach of the lake which will send its pro duce to it as soon as mean? of transportation are provided. At present there ore only two sailing boats on the lake, rather a con trast from the time when Josephus collected no fewer than 280 warships with which to attack Tiberius in tho war against the Romans; and tho fish with which it abounded in the days of the miracu lous draught are more miraculously numerous than ever, for fishing'as nn in dustry has ceased to exist, and the finny tribe are left undisturbed. There are some celebrated sulphur baths also on tho shores , of the lake and within two miles of the i

town, which are visited annually t>T thousands of patients. '

The sun-eying party tell me that they received the greatest kindness and hespj. tality from tlio Arabs in the Jordan valley who wero of a sedentary tribe, and cult!-' rated the land, and who looked forward with pleasure to the advent of a railway and to the chances of employment which it afforded them. Indeed, both natives and foreigners are not ,-. little excited at the prospect which is now being opened to them and which promises to be the dawn of a new era of prosperity for that country.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Extinction of Fires,

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—l am not a nervous man, but during the short time I have beey in Auckland there have been several fives. I can partly understand tho frequency of these oui> breaks ; the houses i:ve built of combustible materials, and in a dry climate they must be very inflammable. But in order to meet the contingency of tire, I am glad to ebserv* that you have firebella and fire-alarms electrically connected with the head quarters of the I'ire Brigade, and that this latter body appears to be an energetic nn«l efficient corps. Auckland however, is a city which covers a consider able area; and, in spite of the admirable contrivances in force for combating an out break of fire, there appear to be wanting some further means, .some additional ap pliances for the suppression of fires especially for dealing promptly with the first signs of an outbreak. In many tonrnj in England the iire extincteur is kept in readiness, and is often saiiioient-in itself to quench a considerable blaze. The ei tincteur and fire-buckets are frequently seen alongside each other in many business pre mises, and theyare largely used by corporate' bodies, as they are comparativelj inexpen sive and they are easily moved about. I can imagine that this apparatus would be exceedingly useful in Auckland, as it could be readily and expeditiously carried on the back to any part of the city directly there was an alarm of fire, and us?d with effect before the arrival of tlio engines. Another want seems to be quicker means for getting the iire engines and brigade to the scene of operations. When Auckland was of com paratively small area it was to propel the engine by manual labour, but now the distances traversed are considerable and the labour very great. It is perhaps • rather early to speak of applying steam to the fire engines, although this is what is being done at Home in many places. But well-trained horses should always be available, and these should be harnessed to the fire-engine and driven with j all speed to the scene of an outbreak. The firemen riding on the engine would com mence their labours without fatigue and without flurry, which invariably result from the exertion of propelling the engine any distance. One other remark I would make, and that is, that the instructions for using' the fire-alarms should be either painted on n board or printed on zinc, so as to be imperishable. I was about to read one of the "Instructions" at the end of Xapier-street the other day, and fonnd half of it torn away ; so that if I had wanted to use the alarm I could not tell how to do so. If these remarks arc of any service, you ara at liberty to publish them.—l am, etc., J.B.

To the Editor: Sir,—On Friday, August 31 st, I posted a petition to the Legislative Council, to a member of the body forpre mentation. It ought to have been delivered in Wellington on the following Tuesday (Sept. 4th),four days before the prorogation of the General Assembly. I know not the exact date on which it was delrrered, but it was too late for presentation. It related to the unlawful expulsion of a British subject, the Honour able Horei Kerei Taiaroa, from the Legislative Council, and it prayed that tbo members should invite him to take his seat amongst them again as a member of the body, to which office he had been duly nominated for life by : Her Majesty the Queen. Tho gentleman to whom I forwarded the petition wrote to me on the Bth inst., but I only received hit letter this morning—so that it has been six teen days in cominjj, although there are two steamers a week from Wellington to Auck- . '. land. Can this be accidental;— l am, 4c,, Sixoletox Rociii'ort.
