CORRESPONDENCE.

DR. MAUNSELL AND LTHE ROMAN CATHOLICS.

(To the Editor.)

Siffj—Upon rending the report ol the inectitig on the education question, held at Napier by the Diocesan Synud, JDr. MaUn'-, sell is reported to1 have stated that: Auck land had made atrial of the denominational system of education, and that it stank in the nostrils of tbe people., With that bta'e ment I perfectly coincide. But he should have stopped there, without making charges against thecomas Catholics which he is totally unable to substantiate by clear, aud concire ; proofs. "I know for a fait'_ he says, "that the Roman Catholics misap piopriated part of the funds they received for education purpo:es, and that they falsi fied ; the returns to. get . larger grants, (Expressions of surprise.) He was telling; facts, which were proved by the reports of the ichool in spectors/ I have given the statement ai printed in the leport of the proceedings in ; Hawke's Bay "Weekly Courier." _ Now, ! sir, if the statement contained the slightest 1 pa'itfcle of truth, it was the duty of tbe school inspectors to give full publicity to the charges ai the time the books were made up, in place of leavinjit to Div Maunsell, who lias at all times shown him self a bitter aDd malignant opponent to everything that pertains to Roman Catholi cit'm. N 0 wonder that the charges were met by expressions of surprise by the members of the Synod, teeing that it is the first that has been hecrd of the matte by the public. Unlets. Dr. Mnuoi-ell is capable if -.übstai.t'ating the charges of swindling against the Roman Catholics, his aseiti'ns must be taken as the vapcur ings of a cleric whose mania is to indulge io dismal and melancholy lidicule, accompanied by charges so grots and mali cious, that 1 am not the least surprised that tho members cf the Synod should receive bis statement with expressions of incredu lity.—l am, &c, a Roman Catholic.

AN EXPEDITION TO CABBAGE BAY, RE COAL FIND.

(To the Editor.)

Si', —'n addition to my former report, I he_ to submit this for the peiusal of your renders. On arrival at Cabbage Bay we fouud tbe winze had fallen in from which we had previously extracted the coal, sam ples of which were forwarded to Auckland two days previous to our arrival; which samples we will submit to the public for thoir inspection. The outcrops look very promisiug, and as regards the bitumen, authorities state it will have freed from the coi I at a lesser depth than thirty feet; but these i-a'iipl-a have been taken from a depth of from live to six feet, so that an allowance must be made for its close proximity to tbe 1 surface. We found two other outcrops which were bhown to ns, and which have been many years concealed by the pros pector, but we gave the prospector a reward and weie Bhown the outcrop, which we iospected, from three-tourths of a mile to a-half apart, running north of the present outcrop and on tbe same property. 1 he whole of the outcrops loak very promising. Afterwards we determined on tbe modus operandi, and going into the fust wiozj *nd taking a level at 70 feet, which wu hope by another 70 feet ot driving t>> cut the main seam. Then we intend driving a level on the coal which will carry us straiKht iuto the body in the main lange. The coal dose to the bottom c_.rries a vein of f 10111 one to one and a half-iuchts of iron pyrit-s, whtn the coal is more fully developed it will more than properly show ti-rough the coal. This indicaiion ol pyrites has utver beeu known to fail, but to accom pany a true coal, We hopj that in four or live weeks to-be able, and in a better posi tion, to ihe public something more of a substantial character in the shape of coal, and which has not been hiiher;o done in New Zealand. The outcrops have betn traced for a funhttr distance of from three to four miles, and the width of the coal bearing strata, is over two miles bearing from ea-t to wesK 'Ihe outcrops of coal runs north and south, and all d pping to the cist, nt an elevation of one in three : all over tbe coal strata is a beautiiul sand strata intermixed with foa sis, apologising for going into this in ex ttiuo. lam&c ,

TOWN HALL SITE.

(To the Editor.)

Silt, —There ia an evident desire on the part of some of our councilh-rs to prevent, if possible, the Town Hall being erected on the site selected by the ratepayers, at tbe junction of Queen and Grey-s'reets, for it will be rememheied a monster petition was presented to the Council duriug Mayor Peacock's term of oflice, signed by nearly 400 of our principal citizens. 'lheCouicil selected the Queoo and Grey streets' stite recommend.d by the petitioi eis. A Bill was passed through the House of Assembly in 1881, autUorUiug the Couocil to take the land for a Town Hall site. Negotia tions have been opeoed with Messis Jaggtr and tally for the purcha-e of the adjoining land, tbe amounts adjusted, and on the ive of its completion a majority of the Council wakes up te the fact that the site is un-uitablo, and must look around for another. tvell,topaytheleastofit,itisamost unbusinc-s-like way of doing business.. 1 contend tint tbe >el<_cted site is infinitely superior to all o'har si.es available for that purpuse, on ace mnt of its commaod:ng and Central position, ami easy access irom all parts of the city for the transaction ot busi ness, and the idea of erecting a Town Hall in tha centre of what the city may be in fifty or a hundied year?, is simply an absurdity. Take, for example, Sydney, Melbourne, London, Manchester, Liver uool, New York, Chicago, ike., where all the public olllces are tight in the centre of ihe busiii' s« populations. Take tbe ques tion financ'ally, it will be an actual profit to the city to utilise the land at the junc tion of Queen and lirey-streets, for it cannot be used for any other purpose than a Town Ball; therefore, it is a gift to the city, Taike tbe figures as arrange 1 to pay for tlie extra land at,'' Five Thousand Pouods (£5000) and the interest at six'per cent.will be £300 a year. It does not,require much working put to sliiw that, according to the enhanced value of land, the same piece taken from the endowments in a central position woul4 produce a larger return to the City than the purchasing of the land of Messrs if agger aud Lally.—^tfours, &&, - W. J. Ofpke. Auckland, April 21st, 1883.

SECRETARY, I'HO TEM.! J. C. Uorgor, The object of this Company is to provide ton nago suitablo to tho growing trado of tho Port of Auckland, so that the imports nnd exports of our city tuny bo as much ns possible carried in LOCALLY-OWNED VESSELS, and tho shipping business curried on by a ruitEi.v local COM PANY. t Tho rales of freights current in this oolony domparo most favourably with thoso ruling in neighbouring co'onics, nnd aro, as a rulo, Biiillcicntly remuuemtivo to leave a good profit, trailing hence either foreign or intercolonial. The acknowledged dully increasing ooiumor- Oial importance of Auckland is a sourco of gratification, and tbo shipping trado, under skilful management and with sufficient capital, would meet with speody nnd great devolojj piont with many parts of iho World with which wo arc at present not iv absolutely dlroot com munication. Tho object of this Company is to provido Yes sols to trado in tho direotions already oponcd, and others which may from time to timo olfor Inducements. Thoro is amplo room for a woll-organlsod now lino between Auckland and London, LlvorpooL and Glasgow, with Now York, and with somo of the larger centres of Continental Kuropean trade. Of course, tho large and increasing export of bulk and sawn tiiu|)or will form an Important adjunct. A trado with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adolnldo, &c, being al ready established, could easily bo continued with regularity, whim thoNcwcastlo and Groy mouth coal trades should be also provided for. There is a vast Held in prospective for a good trado with America, Mauritius, China, Manilla, Calcutta, tho Capo, Noumea, and numorous foreign ports, with somo of which, oven at tlio Eresont moniont, a profitable direct trade is eing carried on in a desultory manner, and which would find support from tho now in dustries lately established here and in prospec tive establishment. , Tho Company do not proposo to limit them selves to running their own vessels, but will from timo to timo charter vessels when re quired, in tho event of their] own not boing immediately available. Messrs Stono Brothers, who havo for somo timo carried on n good shipping business, and tvho have now fairly started a now London lino, possess tho nucleus of a fleet suitablo for com mencing operations, and arrangements havo been made to tako over their vessols ana rho good-will of their shippingbuiiiness for the spm of thirty thousand six hundred ijnd fifty pounds (£30,650), they taking'half tlio amount f|j (Com pany's shares. Their Hoot, consisting pf $ yessels, with aggregate tonnogo of 2012 tons, should be augmented as soon as possible, so that tho business may bo oxtonded without dolny, especially tho London and American brandies. '■ Tho services of Mr C. B, Stono, as managing director, and tlio stair at prcsont undor his control, who aro oxpcrloricdd in this lino of business, havo been secured to tako oilico under the now Company. It ls further proposed that tho working ex penses should be conducted on strictly economi cal principles, tho expenso of agencies and branches to bo defrayed out Of commissions on the actual freights earned by thbso branohos. ' Tlio proposed capital is set down at £150,000. but as only a small portion is required at present for tlio'liureh-iso of tlio existing fleet and cot tinge.it expenses, furthor capital will not bo called up until vessels suitable for tho London I and other trades'muy offer for snlo atroasonablo ; prices, until which timo it Is pppposod to charter 1 vessels as required to supplement tho ptcsopt i fleet. I It is proposed to invito all Auckland business men nnd all who may havo any interest in tho ' trado of our port to tako Shares in thia local I Company, aud to give tho undertaking every possible support. Tlio Company would thus bo i In a moasure self-supporting, and Btrong enough I to compcto most successfully with any outsido or foreign company or foreign shipping. Tho I Company could,then not fail to bo a oreditta ! om; port and a moßt lucrative Investment trf Sliarelioldoro, ■ «„_,',_., 1 Tho proinotors having ovory confldenco In tho I succors of tho undertaking, now appeal to the ' nubile to insure it by subscribing freoiy for J-iharoo. •.'-', • LIST OF VESSELS.
