FRIENDLY ISLANDS.

tf,FKOSI A CORRBSPONUKNT.)

Tonoatabu, August 21. '•Since Mr Baker, our Premier, luft the group, matters social and political have fallen into their usual quiet way. We aro, however, looking forward to his return, expecting stirring times when lie noxt visits us,

The 'tOnga Parliament will then nieot ••ngam after a rest of two years. Tho King's ■■net* church is then to be opened, and that nVent, it is thought, will inaugurate tho long threatened schism in tho Wcsleyan Church here. Fully two-third:; of the natives and nmo tonths of the British residents believe Mr Baker to be in sympathy with tho German firm, and as a consequence opposed to all British enterprise in the group. No doubt he will repudiate that ohargo, and be very much annoyed that it- should bo made, but I must remind him that his actions have laid him open to criticism, and therefore he must not complain at tho conclusions drawn. Details cannot bo given, but

perhaps it will bo better to give one or two facts in support of that statement. Ono of tho laws Mr Baker got passed in ihis last Parliament was that no new trading stations wore to be let or leased to foreigners in the Haabai group except at Lifuka. Tonga consists of three groups. Haabai is the centre group, and consists of a number of small islands extending over CO miles, with opon sea and dangerous reefs betweon them. Lifuka is situated nt ono end of the group, and is considered to be the capital. It is not possible for the natives to convey the wholo of their pro duce to Lifuka for salo there ; and if it was possiblo, they would not do it if they had stations near them. At the timo tho law was passed, the German firm had stations and agents on all tho important inhabited islands. No independent English trailer bad n single station in tho group. Tho Act referred to would, as far as an act could do it, keep out all British enterprise from that group.

Besides the law affecting Haabai, there was anothor law passed at the samo time, forbidding any chief or native owner of land in any part of the kingdom of Tonga, from letting or leasing their laud without the consent of Mr Baker ; the terms also and duration of tho lense wero to be with him ; tho penalty for breaking the law is three .years on the roads and fivo hundred dollars tine. That placod the wholo power in his hands.

One of your most rcspoctablo Auckland firms (McArthur and Co.) are now making «>\ effort to 'establish themselves through this group* They havo bought stations from Europeans at head quarters in Tonga and Haabai. For somo timo past they have had business connections with Mr Parsons, »n old trader in Vuvau, but as before stated, if they are to competo with the German firm, it is necessary that thoy, like them, should havo branch stations for trading. The King is willing they should be granted; the chiefs nnd people aro willing, well knowing that competition means cheaper mid better goods, and n higher pi ice for their produce > the only men who has thrown obstacles in the way is Mr Baker. That being tho case, should he be surprised if people begin to seek for the reason why, or if conclusions are drawn not at all flattering to himself ? If Mr Baker haa any desire to establish the Government of Tonga on a firm basi*, ho should cease to lay himself open to attacks of this kind, and conlino his efforts as mttch as possible to purely Governmental matters, and instead of making enemies of the British people and Government, uso tho very powerful iniluonco ho now possesses 0 'or tho King, and through him over tho people, for the purpose of promoting peaco ai d friendship with that people and Uovern n eat, Who, in spite of ail ho or anyone else tan do, must have moro intercourse and trade with Tonga in the future than it is possible for any other nation or Govern ment to have.

The English traders and residents hero have not tho slightest desire for annexa tion. If law and order is established, and a fair field and no favour granted, that is nil they wants Any attempt to keep back British commerce in these sea* will bo about as useless as tho efforts of " Dame Parting ton " to keep bock the waves of tho Atlantic with her mop.

TELEGRAMS.

Camrmdge, this day.—Four English tourists came here on Friday night with the object of seeing the natives in their natural state. They desired to sco a haka or war dance, and by way of inducement shouted a dozen bottles of brandy. The natives were thus induced to perform for their edification, and an interesting spectacle en* sued. Tboy also engaged an adept to tatco certain parts of their respective bodies after tho fashion of the natives.

fTpHE TONTINE SYSTEM. Wo have now beroro in a 'series of lottSrs written to tho 'Policy-holder" by ah "Asso'cutto o£ th-e Institute of Actuaries, oil the Tontine System, and Eaiiutatcs of the New York Life Insurance Company and the Epltablo Life As , aui'iincc Society of the United States. It sunns ih.lt both these ofll'ces havebcPn, and ; arc. issuing with profit endowment assurance and limited premium poUoios in the following 3 fashion; -If death occurs before the endowment matures, or before all premiums on Hie policy i havo been paid up, only the sum assured is handed tv tho Doliey-hoidet's representative, even although the rato of premium has been "with pi-eius-V And in tho event of a t polioy - holder from any cause falling to . pay his premium, ho gels no surrender , value — the wholo reservo is confiscated. . By these means it is hoped, by the two ' oilioes in question, that policies which havo not > eoasen to exist by death or lapse will, on i mummy, reap exceptionally Inrffo pl'oiits. The system seems to us. in itcslf. an oxcoediiigly objectionable ono. and nothing move or K-33 th:i*i :::ui*:,M:i.-. It is directly con'rary to the • true tinut of life assurance. In true life , iissiiranci. the policy-holders " bear each other's , burdens; in this system each strives to got as much us he can at thecxponsonf his neighbour. • We are not at all surnriceu lo find it not universally popular on tne other side of the AUanlio. and that it has cvea become tho sub jo.'.l ol n-iuiioal legislation. But bad as tho sysioin h in itself, even worse is the manner m whien those, two offices appear to be working it. Alluring "estimates" as to what ilio3.iT 011 y-holders may expect who reach tho ri'uinisod land of tho Tontine system arc set tprtli m the nrospcclttsce of these companies estimates" which it Would he mildness itself to cull grossly <>xaggoruted. The '* Associate of the Institute ot Actuaries" has proved this most completely. In fact, his statements are mathematically unanswerable, and wo have no doubt there will be no attempt made to answer them. Tho only thing that Causes us to treat seriously such estimates is tho fact that there is one element in their calculation of which diflerent people may take different viows, namely, the number of lapses that will occur. iV 0 do not. blame tho actuaries who calculated these estimates for taking an optimist viow of the number of such lapses j but the lino must bo drawn somewhere, and an "Associate of the Institute of Actuaries" has conclusively shown that the lino in this case has been very clastic indeed, and that, in fact, Iheso estimates might also bo described as works of imagination. Hostile?, we see no escape from this conclusion that, sineo a lapse involves so much loss, there will bo strenuous efforts made to keep the as surance going, and 6U tho lapso among ' Tontine policies will bo fewer than among ordinary policies. Wo regret to have to writo so severely on this matter, but a series of ostiumtes that will never bo realised will mako "ovory Tontine policy-holder, when ho finds himself dis appointed, an agent not for but against lifo as surance, and thus legitimate lifo business will in tho end have to pay for such "enterprise " as wo aro denouncing.—lnsurance Agent News paper, London, Ist July, 18S1.
