Personal Notes.

Several English papers have contained obituary notices of the Rev. Thomas Buddie, of Auckland, upon whose life Mr Spurgeon recently founded a most impressive discourse at the Tabernacle. . The death is announced of Lieut.-Col. Charles Ughtred Shuttleworth, who went through the last Maori War and fought valiantly at the Gate Pah and To Ranga. He was twice mentioned in tho despatches for gallant conduct during the New Zealand campaign. Miss Genevieve Ward, accompanied by Mr W. H. Vernon, started on her tour round tho world last week. Their repertoire includes "Forget-me-not," "Rachel," and "Tho Queen's Favourite." Under the title of " Fifty Years of the Stage as Actor and Manager, " Mr William Creswick (who recently returned from a successful visit to the colonies) is about to publish a volume of experiences, which will include his views of life at the antipodes. " Banking in Australasia from a London Official's Point of View" is the title of a new work on colonial finance issued by Blades, East, and Blades. The name of the author is not given. Australia will be represented in the coming Cesarewituh by Mr W. A. Long's Tonans, syrs, who is not overburdened with 7.st lib, and has already been backed to win a good stake at 25 to 1. Mr G. G. Stead's three-year old-colt Splendor will not (it is at present thought) run for the St. Loger. Mr Jesse Adkins, of Christchurch, who came Home a short time ago in the Orient liner Garonne, is a through passenger to Lyttelton by the same Company's Chim borazo, leaving to-day. Mr J. B. Neal and Mr W. C. Tasker are also passengers for Canterbury by the Chimborazo. Neither of these gentlemen have been out to the colony before. Mr and Mrs James Parker and Mr Robert Russell, " ra'al Lancashire folk fra' Bolton," go out to Auckland in the lonic. Mr J. M. Insull, another "new chum," will be a passenger for Lyttelton by the lonic, s.

Mr Herbert Wilmot, a young gentleman from Birmingham, who is taking a long sea voyage for Iris health's sake, sailed for Auckland in the Lady Jocelyn. He is a great friend of the Rer. Mr Ashwell'a. Mr Thomas Cranswick is also a saloon passenger by the Lady Jocelyn to Auckland. Captain McGregor, of Auckland, having completed his business at Home in connec tion with the new steamer for the Tauranga trade, will shortly return home via San Francisco. The captain and Miss McGregor sail for New York by the Gallia,e., on the 22nd September. Mr Randall, of Auckland, who only came Home by the last Frisco mail, returned via Australia in the Cuzco,s., leaving about a fortnight hence. Mr John Birks will also be a passenger for your colony by tho Cuzco. He has im portant business in connection with the floating of a venture called the " Kaipara Land Company," or some such name. The Agent-General is advertising for a master for the Christchurch High School; applications to be sent in before Oct. 1. Salary £800 perannum.

The Agent-General will despatch 210 Gov ernment emigrants by the lonic, steamer, on the 22nd inst.

Shaw-Savill's Triumph, steamer, is filling up fast, somewhat to the detriment of the lonic, steamer, the freight rates for which are 10s per ton higher all round. The New Zealand Shipping Co. are about to remove their offices to splendid new chambers, in Leadenhall-street, rental £1,700 per annum. The rental of their pre sent ofiices is £700. This looks as if Mr Coster expected to do a big business. Many Anglo-Colonials I meet are sceptical about tho new issue of the New Zealand Shipping Company's shares having been so readily taken up. They say Shaw-Savill made a declaration of much the same kind when the amalgamated with the Albion Company, and it is understood now there was no truth in it. Moreover, allowing for English business men being exceptionally confiding in the matter of colonial invest monts, it does seem odd that so many people should have been found willing to pay £5 apiece for shares which are quoted in the colony (according to the papers via 'Frisco) at i"4 15s.

Mr Sidney Dolman, announced as "the well-known colonial ventriloquist and en tertainer just arrived from Wellington, N.Z.," is appearing nightly at tho Trocadero Music Hall, in Windmill-street, with con siderable success.

"Society " says the pnblic associate Miss Lingard with th(|i ridiculous fuss rnado by Mr Anson on tho first night of " Rank and Riches," and that on entering tho Gaiety Theatre the other evening she was recog nised by the gallery, and hissed. Miss Lingard, however, denies this statement, averring that nobody hissed at all on that occasion.

Mr C. J. Roylo writes to the " Morning Post" claiming that the longest telephone in tho world is the one in use between Royce, Stead and Co.'s establishments at Christchurch and Timaru.

Mr S. DarieSj brother of Mr J. A. Davies, of Auckland, is in London looking very brown and well aftor a pleasant run Home in the b,s. John Elder.

In order to attract people to join Vesey Stewart's fourth party, tho passage rates by tho Northumberland (winch will not, after all, go to Tauranga direct, but to Auckland) have been fixed exceptionally low. Tho third cabin will be 13 guineas only, and the saloon itself but i'3s.

Mr and Mrs Woodin and two children aro booking passages by theiTriumph,?., to New Zealand.

"Pro Bono Publieo" writes to the "Globo" asking whero tho New Zealand frozen meat may do purchased. Ho says he reads of thousands of carcases arriving from the antipodes weekly; and yet, if he asks a butcher for colonial meat, the man indig nantly denies keeping anything but " prime Scotch."

Mr Vesey Stewart hopes to obtain per mission to dedicate his new pamphlet to Lord Derby. Storm In tho Channel.—Now Zealand Snips Disabled. The worst storm that has been known in the North Atlantic for two years raged last Sunday (September 2), doing terrific damage on the English coast, and wreck ing and disabling scores of small craft. Those two fine ships, the Lady Joceyln and St. Leonards, both of which had only just cleared the Downs on their way to New Zealand, came in for the full force of the hurricane, and were so severely disabled by wind and sea as to have to put back, the former to Spithead and the latter to Gravesend. The St. Leonards seems to have got off cheapest, a life boat lost and the bowsprit sprung being the extent of her damages. The Lady Jocolyn, on the contrary, was in great danger for a time. At the height of the gale, a mountainous green sea (like the one that did so much damage on the Chimborazo a few years ago) thundered on board, carry ing away over 30 feet of bulwarks, not to mention stanchions and deck gear, smash ing skylights, &c, and flooding the saloon and state-rooms, to the great alarm of the seasick passengers. Quantities of luggage have been soaked and ruined, and the re pairs necessary before the Lady Jocelyn can resume her voyage will occupy a week at least.

I may mention here that five Govern ment emigrants despatched by the Agent- General are passengers on the St. Leonards.

An Eventful Voyage.

The ship West Riding (Captain Thomas), which was reported by another vessel some weeks ago as having met with a disastrous squall when only a fow days. out from Lyttelton, N.Z., arrived safely at the docks on the 31st of August, after a prolonged and ovontful passago of 133 days. The AVest Riding left Port Lyttelton on April 19, and had not been many hours out before bad weather came on. Things grew worse up to 2 a.m. on the 20th, when a sudden squall struck the ship violently from the south, carrying away upper foretopsail,the topgallant, arid royal yards, with sails attached, the fly iibboom, and all tho after staysails. Several big seas came aboard; in fact, so much wator was shipped that up to 4 a.m. tho decks were flooded, and could not be cleared. At dawn the storm moderated, and in due course the West Riding proceeded on her voyage, which was fairly prosperous up to Sunday, 22nd of May (off Cape Horn), when another terrific hurricane arose. On this occasion the ship parted with her main royal-yard, and an appalling thunderbolt fell into the sea within four yards of the bulwarks, abso lutely scorching the captain and mate who were on deck. Prom this point the passage of the West Riding proved ordinary enough. On the 23rd of May the vessel rounded the Horn and made her way slowly to the equator, which was crossed on July 7th. She sighted the Lizard August 28th, and dockei safely two days later.

Shipping Notes. - It seldom happens that two ships keep company so closely on a long voyage as the Gainsboro' (Captain de Gruchy) and the Altair (Captain Munro), both of which arrived at the Docks from Port Lytteltoaon the 28th of August. The Altair sailed on the 26th April, the Gainsboro* following her six days later, They rounded Cspe Born

on the sth* and oth of June respectively and met a few weeks later in the tropics. _ From thence to London the two ships sailed northwards together, crossing the line on the same day (July 0), calling at Falmouth on the same day (August 18) and docking on the same day. _ Tho Selkirkshire, Captain Reid, which ar rived at Queenstown from Port Lytelton on July 20, and lay there 35 days waiting f or orders, came on to London last week" and docked on tho 30th Aug. The St. Leonards, which left London for Canterbury on the Ist, must have come in for the full benefit of tho severe storm of the 2nd, in which the Lady Jocelyn was dis abled. As nothing has been heard of her since, it is, however, presumed she eak through all right. b The Meeinderry, s.s., built to the order of Mr John Hay, of Auckland, for the river trade in New South Wales, was launched at Glasgow on the same day as the N.Z.S Company's Tongariro, in the presence' of Captain W. Ashby and others interested Miss Maud Whitson performed the naminir process. fe

A direct line of steamers to Fiji and other Pacific Isles is being inaugurated. The pioneer vessel, the Cairngorm, 2,000 tons sails early in October. Saloon jjaosage 50 guineas. ' '

Launch of the Tongariro.—Farther Particulars.

I had tho good fortune to send you some particulars of the launching of the N.Z.b. Company's magnificent new steamer Tongariro by last mail. The account, however, was made up in a hurry and not very full, so I now forward tho elaborate descriptiorfpublished by the Glas gow "Herald." Your contemporary says • Messrs. John Elder and Co., Fairfield' launched yesterday a finely-modelled steel screw-steamer for the New Zealand Ship- I ping Company's direct service between this country and New Zealand. Messrs. John Eldor & Co. have also at present in an ad vanced stage of construction two sister vessels for the game owners. They are to be barque-rigged, having masta and yards of steel, with a large spread of canvas which will be of great service in the trade winds. Each vessel is divided into eight watertight compartments. The special care taken in providing for the safety of the ships and the persons onboard entitlethemto rank as transports of the highest class, for they will be entered on the Admiralty list.' The vessels are also built under gpeciai survey to the requirements of Lloyd's high est class for hull and machinery. The principal dimensions of these vessels are as " follow :—Length between perpendiculars 380 ft. ; length over all, 410 ft. ; depth, 33ft, 4in., with a gross tonnage of about 4200 tons. Each vessel has three decks, with large topgallant forecastie for crew, petty officers, and conveniences. A large brick 1 deck-house, about 160 feet long, is fitted amidships,. enclosing engine and boiler" casings, and containing accommodation foir officers, engineers, galleys, sculleries, &c. A short poop with rounded over sides is fitted aft, beiow which are placed smoke and card rooms, bath-rooms, and ; lavatories, wheel-house, and servants' accom modation. Forward of the poop, and in continuation of the poop deck, is fitted »:'■■ shade deck, extending over the after deck- s house, and out to the full breadth of the vessel, forming an extensive promenade * about 15ft. long for the sole use of the first- • class passengers, who have also the bridge - deck for a similar purpose. The after deck- I house encloses saloon entrance, music and ; social hall, two special state-rooms, saloon I well, and captain's room. On the bridge I deck forward are placed the chart and wheel-house, and over the latter is fitted a I hurricane bridge, upon which are placed re- I peating telegraphs for communicating orders to the engine-room, and also to the after wheel-house. Two large lighthouse fi towers are placed at the after end of the I forecastle, with admittance from the lamp rooms below in the topgallant forecastle, '■; thus affording the greatest facility for trim- I ming the side lamps at any time. *Accom- I modation is provided on the main dock for I about 80 hrst-class, 80 second-class, I and 250 third-class passengers. The saloons I end state-rooms will be replete with all fittings that can conduce t» the comfort of the passengers. The first-class accommoda tion is situated abaft the engine-rocm, en-' trance being obtained from the upper deck. I by means of a special'staircase placed in the. after deck-house. The main saloon, placed ' in the midship portion of the ship, im-. mediately abaft the engine-room, will be a 5 fine, largo, and elaborately-furnished apart- .' ment 42 feet by 32 feet. Over the centre of , the saloon is a large well, with a skylight . on the hurricane deck above, giving ample ,' light and ventilation, and vaaiiing'&e total height of the saloon 'fully 17 feet. Numerous extra large lights are also in the sides of the ' saloon. The first-class state-rooms are un-. | usually largo and well furnished. The ladies' boudoir is placed immediately for- V ward of the saloon, and will be furnished in a handsome manner. The main saloon entrances, social and music hall, smoke and I card rooms, special state cabins in deck- • house, and the captain's cabin, are to be furnished in polished hardwoods, consisting of teak, oak, satinwood, and walnut. The saloons, entrances, corridors, ladies' room, smoking, &c., rooms, social hall, captain's cabin, ongino-room, &c, are to bo lighted g throughout with electric light on tho in- g candescent principle, which will greatly add to the comfort of the passengers and to the effect of tho tasteful decorations throughout. Each vessel will have seven boats of large dimensions placed on the bridge "and § promenade decks, as far as possible beyond tho risk of damage from the sea. Steam- ; steering gear of the best and strongest type § is fitted aft in the wheel-house under the poop, with connection for steering the vessel from the bridge. As an additional safeguard, a powerful screw-steering apparatus, with double wheel, is fitted on the poop deck. Four large steam winches are htted at the hatchways for the prompt loading and unloading of the cargo, and a powerful steam windlass is fitted on the topgallant forecastle, with a capstan placed1' forward of it, driven by gearing from the -i windlass engine, for manoeuvring the vessel I inTiarbour. Refrigerating chambers, with two refrigerating engines of the most im- | proved type, are to be fitted in the fore § hold for the carrying of a large quantity of frozen meat for the English market, and also for the carrying of an ample stock of fresh provisions foa the use of pas-.. I sengers. Tho engines, which will indicate v< ; about 4000 horse power, are compound, sur- ■ face-condensing, and (lave two averted cylinders, one nigh pressure 46in. in diame ter; and one low pressure 88in. in diameter, 1 each adapted for a stroke of 4fr. 9in. The ''■ high-pressure cylinder has a vaive of the .'; equilibrium piston type and the low- , pressure cylinder has an ordinary double ported slide valve. Steam is supplied to;/,: the engines jby three ■ cylindrical double- ' • ended multitubular boilers having in all 18 of Foxe's patent corrugated furnaces. The boilers are constructed entirely of si steel, and made for a working pressure of 1101b. per square inch. As the vess&l left the ways the ceremony of naming her the " Tongeriro " was performed by Mrs Pearce. After the launch the company adjourned to the luncheon-room of Messrs John Elder' & Co., and Mr Pearce, in proposing "The1,, health" of the New Zealand Shipping Com-' * pany and success to the Tongeriro," shortly T referred to the formation and history of the ' company, and expressed the greatest con-.': fidence in its success, for which his firm was : building theso steamers, and he looked for considerable fextension of its operations. He took it as a compliment that the Colonial Company had given his firm their first order, '~'• which, he believed, was being most faithfully j executed.

Mr Coster, in responding, referred to the past successes and future anticipations of the company, and said that he considered that the thanks of tho colony as well as the company were duo to Mr Pierce, and to his able and energetic employe's, for tho expe dition with which the order for steamers . was being executed. He thanked Mrs Poarce for naming the Tongariro. In res ponding to the u>ast of " Our Colonists," which had been proposed by Mr M'Gregor, Mr Tesclimacker, of Canterbury, New Zea land, took occasion to refer to the great services which had been rendered to New Zealand by the company which ordered the Tongariro, especially by Mr. Coster, the chairman of tho company, whose energy, , courage, and perseverance had under all opposition and difficulties brought the present enterprise to a marked success. The company then separated.

- The other night, at a party, there was a jovial corps of jokers, and each was trying to outdo the other in the^heavy line. One . of the company had tho greatest father ■ Out.' He was co spry that he could bal ance a forty-foot ladder on one end, ran up one side of it, over the top and down the other, before ft would fall. ' I have seen my father,' said his opponent,' many a time take a forty-foot ladder, run to the top of it, catoh it by the topround, whirl it up an- U Other length, and go over it in the samo ij way before it would fall.'

Tea Merchants. ft INDIA AND CHINA TEA I WAREHOUSE," NO. 95, VICTORIA-STREET. In tho matter of TEA, Queen-street is not Auckland. It may suit the few to have it thought bo, but a discriminating public have determined Otherwise. AUCKLAND, in fact, is becoming a large City, and narrow ideas won't do. The undersigned cannot boast of having made a TEA TRADE by going, mendi cant fashion, from door to door, encouraging people of limited means to got unnecessarily into debt, but with steady purpose has sought to servo tho public need in supplying a GENUINE ARTICLE at REASONABLE RATES. The singular success that has attended this unob trusive way of carrying on business (in ft second-rate Rtrcet) is a source of unfeigned satisfaction. The fact of having imported FIIT i - THREE TONS OF TEA (Ship's Measurement) during the last 9 months Bpeaks suflloiently of public appreciation.
