Mr Oeorge Vosey Stewart, who ia still in London, has received a large number of applications from people resident in all parts of tho United Kingdom who have expressed themselves desirous of trying their fortunes in the Bay of Plenty. His attractive advertisement, which is to bo seen in most of the provincial papers, has caught the eye of many practical farmers and working men, mid a perusal of his well known pamphlet—which ia now being re printed with additions—has helped them to make up their minds to join one ot his special settlements. Some timo ago Mr Stewart arranged with tho Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company for the conveyance of his fifth special settlement party by the splendid clipper Northumber land: The ship will bo despatched from London on Saturday, November 15, and vie undoratand that tho rates ■"•° Q mado: sPo n cV; right through to Tauranga.

The King expressed himself grontly pleased with tlie ceremony, and intimated his intention of inaugurating a branch of the Order in New Zenland on his return.

OUTBREAK OF FIRE.

About half-past, ten last night, Mr 8011, of Chapol-street, called at the Firo Brigade station, and stated that ho believed Mc- Keown's premises in Durham-street wero on fire. Superintendent Hughca, with several men, hurried to the place indicated, where they found the tenants and neigh bours in a great state of excitement, attempting to extinguish a tire in a largo clothes box on tho upper story. Prior to this several children had been removed from the premises, the smoke being suffo cating. The fire was speedily put out, and then it was found that tho damage was confined to the box of clothes. The cause of the outbreak was a lighted candle, which, had been carolossly left standing on the boK.and which had fallen over, thus causing the cover to become ignited. It is lucky that the fire was thus early got under, for otherwise the block, which ia a largo wooden collection of buildings, would almost certainly havo been destroyed.

THE DISCOVERY OF A NEST OF FRENCH BURGLARS.

{From the "Arcus," Auoit»t27.)

Tkk mystery which has so long surrounded tho numerousoi'tonsive burglaries that have been committed in the city and suburbs has at last been solved, in a measuro, by Ihs police, and in all probability a number of important arrests will shortly bo made. The discoveries disclose the existence in the city of a largo gang of French burglars and coiners, who have apparently been carrying on their nefarious onerations with astonish ing impudenco and impunity for a consider able time past. The knowledge of the ex istence of such an undesirable element in our midst as a detachmont of dangerous axph-eos from the French convict settlement of New Caledonia was first brought pro minently to light by the opportune apprehension of Alfred Vernet, alias Bourg, alias Bello, by Detectives O'Don nell and Lomaine, on a charge of store-breaking, for which offence he re ceived six months' imprisonment at the last General Sessions. Measures urero at once taken, under the direction of Inspector Kennedy, the officer in charge of the detec tives, for the purpose of sifting tho matter to tliO bottom. Almost immediately after wards ttio same two officers succeeded jn running to earth a convict recently dis charged from Now Caledonia named Jean Herman, alias Stiller, and ho was formally committed for trial by Mr Call, I'M., at the City Court on Monday on a charge of robbery. These two convicts were, it ap pears, working in the road gangs at New Caledonia together, and after their arrival ia Melbourne by tho AJessageries boat they Joined their forces with three moro adept compatriots, and commenced operations aa burglars and coinere on a somewhat oxten «tre scale. A very aeriousi difficulty was experienced in discovering their nest, and Although steenuous efforts wore made by tiss police to trace their haunts, no satisfac tory clue could for a time be obtained. An j important link in the chain was, however, supplied shortly before four o'clock on Monday morning by the remarkably in telligent and unaided action of Constable \ Wileock, ,of the uniform police, in arresting i tho leader of the gang in Swanston-street. Like hiscoropanions in duranco, the prisoner was an expires from New Caledonia, where he served A long sentence on the roads for coining and other depredations in his native land. He gave the name of Peel Dvvyer when arrested, but it has since been ascer tained that- he was originally knon p. as Phillipe Duar, but subsequently assumed the rtainu of Jean Eudice, Neither of the three men would disclose their hiding-place on any consideration, but after a careful and exhaustive search, Detectives O'Donnell and Lomaine succeeded in discovering the nest, a shabby-loDkinj two-roomel cottage, standing back from tho footpath in g> nar row, dark little right-of-way off Bouverie etreet, Carlton, where their villainies were concocted. The cottage contained on© of the most complete and extraordinary assort ments of burglars and coiners' implements ever discovered in the colony. The place was stocked with a supply of wines, beers, spirits, groceries, ham, butter, eggs, and preserves of every description, sufficient to maintain the gang for fully six months, the whole of which are valued at from £150 to £200. The officers discovered concealed beneath the oven several ingots of tin and lead, together with several complete .-plaster-.*- of Pari3 casts used for coining sovereigns, half-sovereigns, half-crowns, florins, ai,d other coins, a number of dies, throe newly-coined spurious florins, and a spuiious threepenny-bit. The casts and dies were works of art, ana the spurious coins « ere so perfectly formed in every detail that it would almost be im possible, without minute examination, to discover the fraud. In another portion of the place an electric battesy, used for gild ing and silvering coins, was discovered, as well aa a set of crucibles, a quantity of charcoal, and a quantity of chemicals, the exact names of. which have not yet been ascertained. By way of experiment, the detectives dropped a penny piece into one of the jars of che*xj;als, and to their infinite amazement it was immediately reduced nearly to a jelly, Another coin dropped in a similar manner in one of tho other jars was in a few seconds gilded so as to resemblo a genuine sovereign. About 30 jars of different chemicals" were-:dis covered in the place, and a recipe written in the French language for coining, gilding, and reducing jewel'e'y to ingot.'. In the course of invo tigation the floor was pulled up, and d most elaborate assortment of and other keys, jemmies, small isaws, safe-opening drills, and other imple jaonts, tho number of aboub 300, was discovered. , Among the things found was » complete kit of about 30 jsmall steel drills of tho most finished for opening strong spies, 4 small bencli was fitted up in one of the rooms for making skeleton and other keys, and all the necessary tools of trade [were secreted about the nooks and crannies of the place in every direction. ' The whole of the things were removed to the.detectivo .office by the two officers in question,, who jdiscovered among the property and personal effects several documents belonging to the prisoner Duar, alias Eudice, now awaiting trial in the Melbourne gaol. \ The house in whip]? tho plant was dfscflyored jyaji forpierly bscupied" by a notorious burglar namefl Jonea, who sis months ago 'received a j<gatence.' of two. years for" burglary and stealing*

AMATEUR SCULLING CHAM PIONSHIP.

A scullino mfitcli took place over the Paramatta River championship courso on September Sth, between A. li. Sharland, of Tasmania, and W. G. Brett, of New South Wale?, for a trophy of the value of £100 and the amateur championship of Australia- Brett was the favourite, and came out in good form. Sharland's stylo was not so lively ; but lie looked as though he had plenty of stay, and his plucky struggle through the raco proved him to be very strong. Tho raco was rowed under the disadvantage of a strong contrary wind and tide together. Brett took hi 3 place on tho inside. A good start was efl'ectetl, and tho New South Wales man pulled to the front, both men rowing at 32 to the minute, Sharland tugged at his oars with a jerk, and splashed a littlo, while Brett pulled with apparent ease. At tho mile point Brett had a load of four and a-half lengths, and was rowing easily. Passing Putney Point, Brett led by six length?, The Tag manian then pulled across to Breakfast Point, hoping to gain thereby, but the movo was a bad one. Brett kept paddling quietly along on the game side of tho river, rowing at 2G. Sharland vowed on vory strong, and with much determination. Coming up to Gladesvillo Wharf, Sharlund seemed to be gaining, and Brett accordingly livened up, taking his boat past tho wharf with a lead nf about six lengths, which he increased to nine as the boats passed Ono Man Wharf. Shar land pulled with groat pluck, but Brett had tho raco completely in hand, and won by about eight lengths. Tho time win 2i minutes 41 seconds, and tho first mile was dono in 7 minutes 5 seconds. Tho boat used by Brott was tho ono made by Don nelly and Sullivan for Ilnnlat), but dis carded by him on tho occasion of hin match with Beach.

CORRESPONDENCE.

(To tho Editor EVHNINQ Star.)

Silt,—ln commenting on Mr \\ ruymouth's mo tion that in future the City Couno'l should use Wil3on's lime only, because it was tho best. Mr J. P. Kidd stops out of h'n way to have a hit at us by stating that Mr Waymouth was overhaul in.'; our books. We fail t-> see that this has any thing to do with tho question, and hopo Mr Kidd feuls ljappy aiter such a generous deed. Mr ]£idd apparently forgot when he referred to our difficulties that any unprejudiced man visiting thoir and our works must con clude »hnt if we cannot mako it pay. it must be impossible for them Ui do so, seeing tho disadvantage of their position. It is amusing to see how bitterly all the producers of Mahurangi limes write against na. One would imagine that it was such a grand thing for them thoy would llinnk us for developing this industry, and so give them a chance to mako money. It in a notorious fact that not one of them has really done anything to introduce concrete. They simply rushed into the trade because they thought We wero making our fortunes too fust. No one in New Zealand lias fought harder than wo have to introduce a now industry. Our difficulties have arisen through having to con tend against vested interests, and prejudice, and ignoranco of concrete, and having to ex tend our plant so rapidly to meet tho increasing demand.

We havo no wish to try and prcjudlco the Councillors; therefore will not reply to Mr Kidd's statements about the proofs of las lime being so good, except to say vye do not fear the compari son which must take place between tho channel ling laid by us, as under, and that laid plnoe. The llrat cement channel in Auckland waß put down by na in 1879 at the South liritiah ; after that we did it in sectiona from the

•' Herald " office to Victoriastre-1, 1880 to 1882; Waterloo Quadrant in 18S0; Symonds-Btreet from Choral Hall to Ku'angaliasu Road, on weßt side, arid Grafton ltoad to Grammar School on east side. 18S0; lower Nelson street, both Bides, 1882: so«th aids Boresford-street, 1! $J.

Messrs Pulham, Bannatyne, and Co., in re plying to Mr 'Waymouth's motion, state that their property and ours are only separated by a boundary lino, and that tho Stono is (juarried within an inch of ours. It is quite true that the properties are only separated by a line, but .that the quarries are \y^hin an inch of each other is not true, there b'oing at least 300 yards bc tweon theni. Many an unfortunate digger jenows that this is quite sufficient to throw him off a run of gold. For the last six Scars wo have claimed thot all Mahuraiigi mes are not aliko, and feel now that our state ments will soon bo verified, and that it all are not alike, then eomo must be better than others. Now that the question has been raised, it ia to le hoped that all tho limei will bo thoroughly and practically tested, both in and out of water, and all the evidence collooted as to the behaviour of tho various limes since lean. Xo true friend of local industries will deny tbat those who have borne all the difficul ties of introducing an articlo of this kind should have the preference till others have proved as practically that they have a better. This does not mean monopoly, but justice, and would be tho cheapest and hist way to encoutage pcoplo'to start new industries. It having been reported that Mr VVaymoutli was acting as our representative, we beg to state that jf is /jot true, and that Mr Waymouth tabled the notice of motion without our know ledge. "'Alt.

mH E TONTINE SYSTEM. Wo have now before us a aeries of letters written to iho " Policy -holder" by an " Associate of the Institute of Actuaries," on tlio Tontino System, and Ks'ihmtes of the New York Life TnvurancQ Company mid the Equitablo Life As surancu Society of the United States. it seems tlutt both these offices have been, and art), issuing with prolic endowment assurance and limited premium polieioa in the follow!, g iashion :-If ilcatli oconra before the endowment matures, or beforo all premiums on the polio/ have been paid up, only the sum assured is handed to tho policy-holder's representative, oven although the rate of premium has bom " with profki>." And in the event of a policy - holder from any cause failing to pay Imh premium, ho gets no surrender value — the whole reserve is confiscated. By theßO means it is hoped, by tho two otllofs in question, that policies which have not ceased to exist by death or lapse will, on maturity, reap exceptionally largo profits. The system seems to us,'in itself, an exceedingly objectionable ono. and nothing more or lisa than Rambling. Jt is directly eon miry to the. true spirit of life assurance. In true lite usaurancH the policy-holders " boar each oilier a burdens;" in this system each strives to get as much a3 ho can at theexpenßcof his noighbour. We aro not at all surprised to lind it not universally poiuilav on the other side of the Atlantic, and that it has eveu become the bud ject of inimical legislation. But bad as the system i-i in itself, "even worse is the mann ;r in which these two ollices appear to he working it. Alluring " estimates as to what thoso poll y-holders may expect who ro.ich tho promised land of the Tontine system arc set forth in the prospectuses c£ these companies "estimates" which it wdpld be mildness itscll to call grossly exaggerated. The " Associate of tho Institute of Actuaries" has proved this most completely. In fact, hia statements are mathematically unanswerable, and we have no doubt thero will be no attempt mad>: to answer them. Tlio only thing that causes us to treat seriously such estimates is the fait that there is one e.leni.mt In their calculation of which different people may take different views, namely, tlio number of lapses thai will occur. We do not bl.inifl the actuaries who calculated those estimates for taking an optimist view of tlio number of such lapsus; but the line must ho drawn somewhere, and an "Associate of the lii3iltute of Actuaries "has conclusively shown that the lino in this casohus been very elastic indeud, and that, in fact, ihese estimates might also be described as works of imagination. Besides, wo soe no escape from this conclusion that, since a lapse involves so much loss, there will bo strenuous efforts made to keep the as surance gome, and so tho lapae among Tontine pjlieies will he fewer than among ordinary policies. Wo regret to have to wi ite so sovoroly on this matter, but a series of estimates that •will never he realised will mako eniry Tontine policy-holder, when he ilnds himeolf dis appointed, un agent not for but against Hfo as surance, and thus legitimate life business will in the end have to pay for such "enterprise," as we are denouncing.—lnsurance Agent News paper, London, ist July, 18SI.
