Professor Thomai. then addressed the 7 meeting. Ho aaid that after all they had 11 heard on the general subject of education,) he could not do better than follow the l J example of his colleague, and make a few I remarks on the subject immediately con nected with the department over which he ' had been placed. The subject was a great | j one, but one or two remarks would illns-1' tiate the bearing which it had on practical') matters. Na ural science had special ad ] vantage! on mental discipline, bringing I the student into actual contact with Nature, J and causing bim to observe facts { for himself and form conclusions ac cordingly. In doing this, natural science greatly aids students. Then there were the practical advantages which resulted from a study of the science, md these would be more felt in New Zealand than in an old country. Here, all the natural resources remained to be opened|ap, while thctc were yet many others (o be (is covered. Geology, mineralogy, and biological study, which dealt with the phenomena of life, were of great import ance to the colony. The mining engineer and miner all had ~_e?d of geology in Now Zealand, tbe country possess ing great mineral wealth. There were known to be vast deposits of coal and iron, wh'le other mineral treasures remained to be discovered. The study of geology enabled people to go forth and explore, and then to extend the benefits of their labours to mankind generally. There were material benefits to be derived from the study of biology in connection with agriculture. It was only quite recently tbat agriculture had been placed on a (icientific baßis, by ohemistry on one hand and physiological botany on the other. Then they had the study of biology simply in its bearing on sanitary matters and medicine. For a very long time, sanitary matters did not attract the notice of the public, but within the last century the improvement in this respect had reductd the death rate in Lon don alono fully one-half. Medicine was also making vast strides. All our great national wealth was of no avail if we had not health. Modem research had enabled students to learn more of the causes of disease, and the true and real effect of drags on the system. This was not of so much importance to Ancldand as the other countries of a less healthful climate. Natural science, in its connection with agri culture, bad already been of immense value. Splenic fever was known to have destroyed many hundred thousands of sheep, cattle, and horses, but owing to recent investiga tions, it was now shown to be due to a vege table parasite, which could, under circum stances, be cultivated outside the stock. Animals inoculated with the disease in a m'ld form were protected from the more deadly parasite. Another matter was the duke disease. The losses from this cause in England in 1870, 1880, and 1881 were three rai'lion sheep annually, while the losses all over Europe had been in the same proportion, This disease had also b-en discovered to be due to a paiasite. The speaker concluded with a refeience to the important bearing of natural science on every day matter", and the fact that it would have much to do io the development of the great re ources of New Zealand. Professor Tucker, Professor of Classics, next addrtssetl the assemblage. He said the whole subject of cducatiou bad bein dealt with so exhaustively that he would confine his remarks to the special branch of instruction to which he had been np pi dated. Ho said it would be specially en couraging to know that the subjects which ho had come such a long way to teach were justly appreciated here. There were no very obvious instances of their prac tical utility, but he would point out what he believed were the true beatings of a cla3'ical education. Many people were apt to estimate all studies by their concrete results, wanting to know the tangible results of the time spent upoo them. Regarding the classics, it was not a very ensy task to brhfly explain and point out their advantages where Borne were dubious aud others antagonistically dis posed. But, he thought, it would befouud that tho?o who objected most to the old world, Litin and Uretk, were t.._e people who were moat anxious to insert a Latin or Greek quotation where it was not redly required. He thought the univeisty should aim at some thing higher that imparting facts of utili tarian knowledge, It should be more for expanding the mental faculties and cul tivating the intellectual taste's, besides raising the moral tono. The cla sici were not, confiued to Greek paricles or Latin g ainiiur. Some of the wises• wii.irs that the world had ever seen were iv t'.c Latin and Creek languages, aud matur which was thought by some to be tliee-u! ot modern discovery was contained tn bo ks which were published 2,0u0 jeais ago, -ireck and Litin lay at the root of all modem languages, and apart from history and philosophy, the study of Latin and Orrek books brought the reader into communication with writers of the ut most exactness of thought, and all that was elegant in literature. By this stndy, the student obtained a corresponding exactness of mind. He could point to the names of many great modern politicians and statesmen, who, after studying tbe clasric-, had placed great value on the rcsu ts of that train _g. He hoped the p.-ople of Auckland would look upon tin now U iver>i y not so much as a place where they w.ulil ootniu items of use ful Inf im tl n, l<ni atli-t us an institution conferring otner special mental advantages, l'hey -lotii,, do tho'..- u'mos; to make it take a pro jo in n-' posinuii amongst the other similar ius'itutirns of the cilouy. Sir Maurice. O'ltotke, addressing the gathering, si.id his first duty was to tbauk Bis rxcelleucy for the hkh compliment which he had been pL as d to pass upon Mm for the exeitlouß he had made in bringing about tbe establishment of a Uni versity College in Auckland. He had been rewarded by tbat compliment, and the evident appreciation of the audience. He trusted that what had fallen from His Excellency would carry the conviction to tbe minds of the audience that at last the right thing had been done In founding and endowing a University College, and he trusted that those present as they wended their way homeward would ask how was it that Auckland had been let fall so far behind the other colonies, and other portions of this colony, in tho attainment of the means of supplying university education to its inhabi tants? Tbe neighbouring colonies—New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia had respectively the Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide Universities. Otago and Canterbury, more recently colonised than Auckland, had preceded us iv affording university education by nearly a dozen years. Was this circumstance, he asked, attributable to apathy ? Was it attributable to divided counsels in this province? Was it attributable to our being content with the education that could be obtained at the schools ? He trusted that tbe latter reason was not the case. He did not speak disparagingly of primaiy schools, but desired that the pupils of the primaiy schools, who exhibit special attainments and an ambition and aptitudo for higher learning, should be enabled to pass free of cost into our grammar schools, and thence ascend into our university, whore they might graduate to follow an intellectual instead of a servile pursuit. He also desired that those who could afford to give thoir offspring a university education should have the means of getting it in this city, instead of sending their children away from the paternal roof to Canterbury or Otago, or even still fuither afield. The speaker then proceeded to take a rotrospect of the circumstances that preceded the foundation of the college, stating that it was not bis intention to close his remarks without giving honour to whom hononr was due. It was now more than ten years ago since tho House of Re presentatives at his instance passed a measure providing for the establishment of , a University College in Auckland, but the Legislative Council of the day rejected the , measure contemptuously. He was per plexed, but not dlsheaitened; but he could ! not help mourning at the annual crop of ■ students who bad passed into the walks of ' life in Auckland without havin? the advan tage if a university education,' When,, ii 1878, be was offered a seat on the Commis sion to enquire into the working of the grammar schools and univer.ities of the j colony, he clutched it with avidity, for he felt that at last there was within his j grasp a lever wherewith he could raise Auckland from its educational debasement i to a level with the more favoured south. ( And he was disappointed. Vexatious de lays occurred in acting upon their recom- . mendation, the Government pleading that , the measure was premature, and, on the second occasion, tbat they were too poor, How glibly, he eaid, came the reason tor refusing to do what was right. Too poor, while hundreds of thousands were being poured forth for elementary schools. When otago and Canterbury had some £10,000 each, a bagatelle ot £3,000 could not be found for Auckland. An effort was then made by himself, in con junction with Mr Tole, tho member for Eden, to get the House to assist in the matter, but neither the Houso nor the

H„ Auokland Gardnor, Guy IL, Now York Solicitors i - whltakor. Russell, and Buddie. _ Bankers : a Bank of Now Zealand. Secretary pro tern, j James Macfariane. lo _ The New Zealand Iron and Steel Com pany Limited, Is organised to manufaoture T Bar and Pig Iron and Wire from tho Iron sand „ doposlts of the West Coast, by means of the _ patents ownod by Messrs John Chambers and \ G. H. Gardner. _ Tho practicability of those patents having r been fully proved by the works at presont in » oporation at Onehunga, there remain but two £ points to be considered—viz., tho oost of raanu j. facturing and the market for the product. •* THE COST. id or in estimating tho comparative coßt of manu td facturing iron hero and in England there are n- throo items to be considered, viz : laboor, coal, ly and raw material. at The raw material Is almost a nominal cost to ia üb. The coal will cost no nioro horo than in or England, for it is intended to uso only gas for n all heating purposes in tho works, whloh oan be ot produced hy means of gas generators from Black ot or any brown coal at a far lower coat than tho I o- same amount of heat can be obtained from x- burning coal. Labour Is then the only Item je which will cost more here than in England, and ' iy wo havo to consider what advantago wo possess cr to counterbalance this greater cost. Id These advantages consist (Ist) In situation, by in which wo save 10 per cent, on tho Homo Coßt id which is absorbed in commis3ion. insurance, ia oxchango and interest, and outward freight, as id tho freight from Auokland or Onehunga to dif o- ferent places in tho Colony will bo nomorothau in tho chargos in England in bringing the iron ig from tho miUa by rail and oartage and shipping nt charges in London; (2nd) in our proeoss, by >y which we save cost of fettling (or wrought Iron iy scrapi, which in puddling from pig has to bo put a into the furnace, and the cost of making tho Dig or and the waste of tho same in puddling. This Is ib a most Important item in our favour, and would p. be alono sufficient to countorbalnnoo the greater as cost of labour, for by the patents undor whloh al this Company will work tho samo result la a. obtained from iron sand as Is obtained from pig iron, thus saving the oxponso ot making tho pig. Tho difl'orenco in cost betweon pig ■i iron in England, suitable for making good bar ' iron, and iron sand at Onehunga being fully 35a per ton In our favour. If, then, wo take tho amount of saving which wo havo by our process and situation to counter balance tho greater cost of wages in this Colony,.we havo :— lßt —10 por cent, on tho Homo cost—Bay £7. . 14/ „ 2nd-Saving in freight 25/ " 3rd-Saving of fottllng .. .. .. .. » 4th -Saving of cost ot making tho pig .. 35/ sth —Savingtof manufacturer, profits .. 7/ iv Tho total cost ot labour In manufaotarlng pig iron into finished bars In England .s undor 35s por ton, so that if tho cost of labour here is oven as high as 60s thero remains a largo margin of profit. It is estimated that the total cost of tho le best finished bar iron at Onehunga will bo nn der £6 per ton. THE MARKET. Tho production of cheap iron opens BO large a field ofindustry that it is impossible to estimate tho future of this trado. It is an undoubted fact that bar iron can bo niado from iron sand more cheaply than from any other ore. Tho supply of raw material 1b unlimited, and __. New Zealand should become ono of the largest iron producing countries In tho world. Tho many branches of manufacture, of whloh s. cheap iron 1b tho primo essential, will no doubt spring into life now that both iron and coal may be obtained in Now Zealand, and with the supply so will tho demand increase, Tho amount of iron Imported into Australasia in 1882 was as follows :— AustrallaNow Zealand. TL Tons. Tons, Bar Iron .. .. ri.500 9.250 63.750 Fencing Wlro .. 10,00,1 9,500 19,600 Galvanised Iron.. 37,080 8,00 45.080 3 Pig Iron .. .. 21,500 1,0 0 28500 ' Plato Iron.. .. 9,250 1,000 10.250 Wiro Nails .. 6,750 2.750 9 500 Hoop Iron.. .. ,1,750 850 4,600 Shoot Iron.. 3.500 600 4,108 I, These figures do not include Tasmania or West Australia. Tho present cost of South Staffordshire Iron, which Is nnivorsally used in these colonioe, is £7 10s. f.0.b., London, costing delivery In New Zealand about £9 10s, which Is one of the lowest — prloes for many years, owing to the depression of the iron industries in England, Auckland Iron at £8, f.0.b., would thus keep opt the imported Iron, and leave a large profit to the manufacturers. It is also proposed to manufacture the iron Into a few articles which are largely used, such as fenoing standards, fish plates, railway spikes, &o„ Sec,, on whloh a larger profit can bo made. Fenoing standards cost in the South Inland about -11 per ton, and are used to tho extent of over 8000 tons per annum, and in other lines large quantities can be sold at better profits than oan be made on bar iron. Fenoing wire being protected by a duty of 451 per ton, and by a largo cost of importing, offers a profitable field of induatry; and it is propose to add this lino to tho products of the Company _. as soon as tho abovo operations are at work. * Tho slag from the puddling furnaces, if it con tains a sufficiently high percentage of iron, will be smelted in an ordinary blast furnace, and run into pig iron, thus utilising all tho waste products. Sydney and Melbourne will take a largo quantity of iron from us, as low freights are S easily obtained to those oolonies. It is oxpoeted that New Zealand iron oan bo sent to England and the United States at vory profitable pricos, as tho Iron mado from sand in :t tho United States by this process is found to bo of so superior a quality for making high-pricod stool that the whole of it is con sumed by that branch of industry, and the price paid would yiold us a largo profit. India, Chna, Japan, and San Francisco open fields for exportation, whloh wo may shortly . hope to compote for, as our location Is moat v favourable for them as a basis of supplies, and at certain seasons of tho year freight can bo had at amor oly rate; and a speedy enlargement of the works, as the requirements of the trade may demand, 13 provided for in the 28,000 unallotted shares. These shares, when allotted, will he offered to the stockholders at par in proportion a to the shares held, This Company will take over the concessions obtained by Messrs Chambers and Gardner, consisting of 1000 aeros of land, and four miles of foreshore on tho North Head and two miles ot foroshoro on tho South Head of Mannkau Harbour, and threo miles of foreehoro at Tara naki, which will supply all the iron sand neoes sary for many years to come. No othor place on the west coast offers such faculties for cheap coal and ready transportation of tho finished ■ product as Onehunga; as, from its location we can Bhip from either the East or West Coasts, and from tho North Head tho sand oan be put Into barges at any state of the tide or weather, without going outside the Heads, and brought U to our own wnarf, These considerations make these concessions particularly valuable, while the lease at Tara naki will be available for tho manufacture of ;> charcoal iron, as a good quality of charcoal can be obtained in that district at a reasonable price. The New Zealand Government has offered a bonus of -1,000 for tho first 200 tons of wrought iron blooms.and an additional „1,000 for the first 200 tons of pig iron, manufactured from iron sand, whioh this Company will secure. The patents owned by Messrs Chambers and Gardnor are so essential to the manufactnre of iron by the direct process, that it is impossible to manufacture iron from iron sand in payable quantities without them, thus securing to the Company a virtual monopoly. Of the first allotment of shares, Messrs Cham bers and Gardner will receive for their New Zealand patents 3,000 Bhareß paid-up to £4, and in future allotments of shares np to 40,000 in all, 25 per cent, of such allotments paid up to £4. 9 000 shares aro at present offered to the pnblio, payable as follows:—10s on application, 10s on I, allotment, and 20s at intervals of 3, 6. and 9 months, the remaining 20s at an interval of not less than three months after the last call, but it is not anticipated that it will be neoessary to call up more than £4 per share. In view of the many advantages we possess— a large and constantly growing market at our doors, and separated by bo many miles from its present base of supplies, a practically unlimited supply of iron sand, suitable coal at a low price close at hand, and the cheapness of our working —we have no hesitation in offering the shares of this Company as one of the safest and moat profitable investments which has ever been before the public,
