THE SUEZ MAIL.

ANGLO-GOLOtfIAL HOTBS. (By tITJR Special Cotirrsponbsnt in London.) London, November 16. Tins talk iv all unglo-colofcial circles just now is about the sinking of the Orient liner Austral. That one of tlic newest, finest, iiml largest speoimcu9 of modern shipbuilding should capsize ia harbour on a fine morning eouada as alarming as it seoms inexplicable, and I fear confidence in me safety of the steamer will not be restored for sometime, even should they J succeed in quickly miming her. The telegrams to hand nbout tho accident to the Austral are very short and puzzling. Tlie ports, we learn, were open, and yet the vessel was coating. Are the: c two state ments compatible, anil it a usual thins to allow smuts to lly all over the place whilst taking in iuel for the homeward voyage? Personally, I never liked the Orient or the Austral, They have too much hep hamper in tlie shape of deck houses to promenade, and I know from actual experience the foinier ia anything but a pleasant, sen bout. Th>; fact is tlieso im mense floating palisce* me not lo be com pared as safe conveyances with the smaller iiud lnoia business-like steamer* of a few years uro. Old traveller?, 'ou may notico, generally sidect the Utter when they can— indeed' the Lusitunia aud Cuzco still re main two of thft most popular liaers ou the Australian ntutiou. Tho oaisistvophe to ihe bnjirnew Ai>Btri'il. m»y perhaps recall lo seme miuds tha absurd scare in connection with tiic old s.s. Great Biitain. I remem ber being solemnly warned one fine morn ing in Melbourne not to go home to Liver pool in that "rotten old tub." "She will capsize some day, to a certainty,1' folk used to say, but the good ship never did, and now Iks resting, after many long yea:s of woik, in the bro*t Float at Birkenheal, The Great Britain was the driest and most comfortable vessel I over travelled in. .The Australian cricketers are credited with having invested a la'ge' part of the mouey.lhey made in Ihiscountry in English railway stock. Brighter Britain. Mr Telisle Hay's book ou "Life in Modern JN. Zealand," is at length pubished, and I have spent »undiy rather dull half hours in endeavouring to extract therefrom a few lacts likely to bo of interest to colonial readers. Truth to tell "Brighlar Britain" is anything but a remarkab'e work. Mr Hay came out to Auckland in an emigrant sbip some years ago, and seems to have speut a commonplace and net specially piosperoua home farming up the Kaiparu The two volumes teem with inaccuracies (though a ktiougor wo>d might bo used at i.iu,u.i), aud some of the author 8 theoriis advanced in apparent good faith will miiko old cnlo»i*ts laugh consumeuly ; let us take the fir«t few pages for example. Mr Hay la»ds on the wharf one fine mini iug,»ud, in company with other now chums, t^kts a tlroll «p Queon-strcst. The" par y notice, or ia-cy tbey notice a lathcrsinguUr featuro iv the jiucklaudcrs thoy meet, "The man are {;rave and serious in deport ment, aud nearly all arc profusely bearded, moreover, they iveiy one appear to huva aquiline no3cs. Hebrews they are not—wo know they belong to the sumo nationality as ourselves—so we seek explanation from a whimsical fellow voyager, uiaisolf an obi AueUtnder, "Alt," m*js he, " that's a peculiarity of the climate.

This ljinonuble speciman of an Antipodean funny man continues in the same strain for a considerable time cordially improving Mr II«y withapiofouuii ndmiru tiou for his " whimsicality." The new chums presently put uu at the principal hoiol, ''a solid cooifortible looking exilic* (it stone standing on a wide street that revirscj v hLih riil^c, aud commands ,\ fine view of the harbaur." more frugal passengers patronise the board '""l^,«An«: nus?ii'iiartU9, and persons pJE that class abound ned liuctnre the very air witu a savour of godliness and respectability that is, alas ! repugnant to scapegrace youih," Mr xay was much struck with tie abfionce of " class prejudices," &c., which seim, indcud, to have been more than or dinarily ab»ted in his case. Listen to this —'• One morning, toon after our ariival at the Hotel, Auoklaud, I get dowu to brtakfast rathor late, after mtwt of the guests have dispersed. Something seems 10 hate creased our landlady's temper, for »ho greets itic with ' Look here, joung man, I cua't have people walking who bnakf.ist at all hours of the day. If you don t come down »t (he proper time you'll have to g> without iv future, mind tnat!' But at tliis juncture urrivts the waiter, who if kind enough to favour me with Lia friendship, b.wjiing with him a dish he hits beun kfeping hot, aud as be slaps n down ia front of me ha observes in tones of rcmoni-tranc •, ' Leave the man alone I I'll look aftes him. Row you just walk: iuto that, my boy, and see if it won't suit jour compliant!' " Far bo it from me to hint that the above anecdote is untrue. I think, how»ver, the »trauge demeauuur of boh landlady and waiter were sympti<ma'ie rather of ihe stamp of man Mr Hay ia than of colonial manners. Cenain I*m no ordinarily well beuaved quest ueed fear similar coarse familiarity at a New Zealand hotel. Aati podfnn serrants do not cringe like ceitain sorts of English lack»ys, neither do they consider themselves ooe whit inferior to their employers, but they possets too much common sea^c and savoirjaire not to show a polite deference whoic it v due, and if new churns find themselves treated with the familiarity which'brceds contempt" they may just louk into their o>vn behaviour for th« cause. Mr Hay found out sevtral things during the first few days of his residence in Auck land which the prcst-nt writer has failed 1)0 notice iv the c >ursu of ytars. He assti a, for in.«t»nce, thnt ''denomioa'ional spite" is " unhapuily very prevalent in. the pio vinc<y' and that tho inhabitants consider if a dire oflVncc to s ylo " the city " a town We lean, too, with surprise, t'uat tie Women drrss "to jdcatb," und ihat there .■.ould hi nothing out, of the way in a pen.

After teadiuj,' several pageh to this tune, I b 'gin ta hope the au.lwr had ropented of bin bad be»innirjg and me nt to continue sensibly,. rtlasj the change for the httter prived short lived. Mr Hay aud hia frionda may have rubbed along iv their little hus.li shauty at tho Pehi, after the manner he aaacrta they did, it so, all I C;m say is tbeir natures can't be very different to those of the useful but lowly saino. ,"jttoui>hing it" is one thing, and deliberately sacrificing comfort and cleanlim s* quite another. I know a little of this much malgnid district, and I unhesitatingly aver that the Kalpara setters will bo th<; tirst to resent a picture which represents nine wild, untamed,gsntle maulyyuungmen' piggiug"togfither(onecan rca'ly lisa nf. other wi-ids) in a lei.ky, smoky little shamy, eating (all of them mind) i>ffas;i gle iron plate, either with a one^praugedfo-kor with their Bugtrs, sleep- ; ing'amidst t.itteied and ditty blanket-1, admittedly " frowsy," aud advancing as souud the opinion that too much mashing in the bush is a mistake, it spoils clothes anil causes tturn to rot ! I "Biighter Britain ' deserves severe criti cism, and I hopi; will gut it, especially from colonial writer;, A man may be a poor scribe, but there is at least no excuse for compiling well-knowu facts wrongly. For some reason or other, Mr Hay has attached a list of INew Zealand newspapers to his book, and it is as inaccurate as such a catalogue well could be. (Continued on fourth page.)
