. especially being seen to great advantage. Away to the light were the dim outlines of t!)6 Thames and Co-omaudcl ranges, mthe tfislance straight abe id the familiar peaks ?Wof llaugitot^, withjlhe n^xei heights of " Cape Colville lootuiua up darkly behind it, and to tho left the Kaipara Heads could be dimly discerned, while all the intervening country lay unfurled like a map. From this point there was a sketch of almost level ground to be traversed, and a ' f ,-w hills to descend, until the pat ty reached Mr CantwcU's secludtd house, where he hospitably received them. Peaches wtre discussed with Rreat gusto, and water, in most instances, qualified by something more potent, was copiously drunk. A few ol the picnickers, on learniog that there was a further walk of a mile or so before the Falls were reached, determined to remain where they were, but the great majority after a short respite, set out again. The way now was a mere trail, and as it Jay through a belt of forest land, very slow progress was made, whilo the gteatest care had to be exercised, the foothold in most cases being insecure through tbe ground being thickly interlaced with roots, and supplejacks being very plentiful. At length the visitors emerged upon the western bank tf the tranalucent stream just abavo the upper fall, and taking up the nio=t favourable positions for sightseeing, tbey gazed with keen pleasure upon the ravishing view that presented itself. Down below them, and slop ing away from the sides, was a vast gorge covered with an impenetrable luxuriance of indigenous timber, amid which the graceful fronds of tho nikau palm and the beautiful foliage of tho cab- j bngo tree stood out conspicuous, while beyond them in the other direction was tho clear and sparkling river, fallowing gently in its winding bed between banks thickly nveigrown with a maze of trees' and shrubs. They then re-entered tbe bush, and by a circnitous route descended to a point further down the stream, whence the Fall was beheld in all, it 9 glory and loveliness The water is dis persed over a wide surface of rock, and the descent is quito perpendicular, but at the western side it leaps over in two di.tinct volumes, which form a fleecy and shimmering line of loam, and give to tho whole the appear ance of a superb bridal veil. The enchant ing beauty cf the scene was felt to be in describable, and the pleasure-seekers gazed upon it long and admiringly, unwilling to miss a single detail in its prodigality of charms, Several went much closer, and took a lateral view of it, the reward of their trouble being a sight of the tainbow that spans the foot of tho falls glowing with bright iridescence. It was found on reference to the aneroid that the place was 7SO teet above the sea level, and that the height of the Fall was 150 feet, while the capacity of the daily flux of the stream was variously computed at from 900,000 to 1,250,000 gallons, or about the same as the Western Spring?. Its purity was quito beyond suspicion. After ieasting tbeir eyea upon the Fall, a few of thepicmcicersrofreshed themselves by abathe, and then all set out on them etnrn to Cantwell's. This was the most arduous part of an arduous trip, for the ascent was very steep, the undergrowth of the bush dense and the heat intolerable. However, everything is bound to come to an end at last, and tho cottage was even tually gained. It was found that those who lit.d stopped there had already started on their homeward way, and" so, after a further recourse to aqiia py.ro, for the iuvigoration of ex. hauateS nature, the last contingent followed in tho wake of their companions Most of the way was downhill, and such good progress was therefore made that the Mdge was reached about 5 o'clock. The earlier arrivals were disporting themselves |n the stream, a delectable repast to hungry and thirst-stiicken men was laid out upon the greensward'underneath the trees, and Castles was engaged in the interesting occupation of fishing bottles of liquor from the cool bed of tha stream, which he had in geniously;turned iuto use as a refrigerator. As soon as hunger and thirst had been ap peased, and when the picnickers began to give their [attention to the fragrant weed, Senior Councillor Waddel, in a few lauda tory sentences, thanked tho Mayor for his hospitality, and then called '.for three cheers for him. The summons was responded to with a three limes three, with the addition of separate cheers for Mrs Clark and the family. His Worship, in acknowledging the honour, took occa sion to explain rhat the city was in no im mediate need of a further water supply, but that in view of its destiny as the premier city of the colony and its future populousness,the Councillors were animated by a desire to meet all possible wants by acquiring a fresh source of supply. At present the consumption .was 460,000 gallons per diem (or seven-twelfths of tbe total outflow)/for which only 8 houre. pumping was necessary, and it could be easily increased to 700,000 gallons per diem, The time would surely come, however, when even that would be utterly inadequate, and it was in view of that time that action was deemed necessary. The Waitakerei Falls had recently been offered to them, and thinking it desirable to havo a psraonai inspection, he had arranged for that day's outing. Having seen the Falls, ihe con curred with some of the Councillors in thinking that nothing practical would arise out of the visit, inasmuch as the dis tance was great, the engineering difficulties numerous, and the flow not larger than that at the Western Springs, There was, however, an alternative source of supply which he thought would bo superior to Waitakerei, He meant tbe Bihotopu, which flowed into Big Muddy Creek. It was much nearer town and casitr of access, so that the carriage of pipe? to it would be thousands of pounds cheaper. He proposed a visit to it next Wednesday, and invited all the members of the party to go. j Possibly by a comparison of the two, the Waitakerei. might come out the more preferable source after all. His Worship concluded by explaining the recent improvements effected in the Water-! works by the extension of the pipes to the very head of the springs so as to obtain the water in its purest and coolest state.—Mr T. L. White agreed in' the fairness" of the ?roposed comparison, Ors. Waddel and hompson endorsed His Worship's remarks, and Mr Errington explained the cause of the delay in carrying the water pipes up to the fountain head. Between 6 and 7 o'clock, tbe excursionists again took their places in the drags, and the homeward drive was commenced. The night was tranquil and moonlit, and the journey into town was pleasantly beguiled with song and chorus, everyone being obliged to contribute his quota. As may be imagined, there was a wonderful variety of songs. Christy Minstrel and motto -, songs were first essayed, then came national airs, next comic operatic selections, and finally, as the suburbs were approached, the company lapsed into a sen timental mood, and warbled in tlie minor key. Notwithstanding the fatigues of the trip, it was pronounced enjoyable in the highest degree, aud assurances were exchanged that on no acconnt would the Nihotopu excur sion on Wednesday next be missed.

SHEBEENING AT WAOTU.

♦ ■ (B? TELEGRAPH-OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CAMBRIDGE, this day. No less than two individual cases of selling liquor without a license have been picked up by the police this week, The other day Constable Brennan with two other con. stables proceeded to the Waotu Hotel, a«ked for liquors, paid for them, and de manded the license from the wife of the uominal proprietor who was in charge. This ehe waa unable to produce, The police tnereupon seizsd the stock in trade and carrisd it off to Cambridge, It appears tnat the real owner of the hotel is a certain leading temperance enthusiast, end member of the New Zealand Alliance, and a person who has hawked about numberle's petitions objecting to the granting of licenses to certain patties in the district on strictly moral grounds; but who, not desiring lo appear in the matter himself, put a repre sentative'into the house. When the ease comes on for heating, it will likely reveal X mething very amusing.

WI PEttl AND MR KHBEHAN. Wi Peri held a meeting of natives at tho Town Hall last night, explaining what tho East Ccast Land Company has done and ' purpose doing. He was very well received indeed, being one of the most finished Maori orators in the colony, it bout 150 natives were present, and some sprinkling of Europeans. After Wi Pere had explained his views and proffered advice to the natives, Mr Sheehan rose ana spoke with some biltcrness ot the East Coast Com pany, maintaining that Waikato wanted nothing from Poverty Bay in the shape of raaua, money or direction. We Pere replied with much spirit, and things wero said in the altercation that are better unreported. At the request of the natives Wi Pere stays here to-day to have a further hearing to night. The Silversmith* of Hiana, in this j disttict, are much exercised in spirit at Wi Pere coming from his own district to another, THE EJECTMENT CASE.

MEETING OF MR STEAD MAN'S CREDITORS.

— ♦ A MEETING of the creditors of Mr Stead man, seedsman, was held at the office of Mr Thome, solicitor, at 2.30 to-day. Mr Thome said that an arrangement had been made and assented to by the majority of number and value ot the creditors. Every thing was going on all right till yesterday, when Mr Steadman received a notice from Mr R. K. Davis, the trustee, to the effect that he (Steadman) should vacate the house attached to tbe Remuera property on the 17th Feb., and that the bearer of the notice would take possession of the property; aleo that on Friday, the £25 worth of furniture to which Steadman vat entitled would be handed over to him. He might state that Mr Davis had either acted in ignorance of the understanding arrived at the previous meeting, or in contravention of it. He did not think that the creditors had intended that Mr Steadman should be turned out of his house at 36 hours' notice. Un Mr Thome's motion, Mr Buckland was then voted to the chair, and Mr Thome moved that " Mr Steadman be allowed ten days to remove.and £100 worth of furniture in addition to ihe £25 worth allowed by the i *«*•'< ... Mr lamb suggested that Mr Dans should be heard, Mr Davis then made an explanation to the effect that Mr Steadman had thwarted him in his duties as trustee, and had in sulted him. Un the recommendation of Messrs Carr, Hean, and Lamb he had decided to take possession of the premises; Mr Thome then (on behalf of one of the proxies), seconded the motion. Mr lamb spoke against the resolution, and sngaested that the Remuera property should not be sold at once, but retained and sold when a suit j abie offer presented itself. He moved, "that the debtor be allowed £25 wetth ■ of furniture, and no more." The Chairman said that as there was no ! statement before the meeting as to the value of the estate he would suggest to Mr j Thome that he should withdraw the portion j of his. motion re the £100 worth of furni ture. . ! Mr Thome agreed. to this, and it was re .solved to adjourn the meeting till next ; Monday week, Mr Steadman meanwhile i retaining use of the house and furniture. It was decided to impower the trustee to retain the Remuera property for the benefit of the creditors for pne year, the creditors to pay thf; interest on the mortgage. This concluded the business,
