AUCKLAND INSTITUTE.

The opening moetine; of the present session oftKeAucklandlnstitutewasheidonMOnday ovoning, Mr H. G. Soth Smith, President, in the chair, Before tho commencement of : tho ordinary business, the Secretary read the list of now members and donations which was published in our last even ing's issue. The inaugural address was thon read by the President. It statod that since the annual meeting, held on the 25th February last, the sum of £7,000 had been''paid by the executors of the late Mr (Edward Costloy to Messrs Aickin, Peacock, and the President, as the representatives of the Institute, being the first instalment of tho amount of probably £12,000, which is estimated to be the share of tho Institute in Mr Costley's estate, The sum already paid over had been invested upon good.seeurlty. Small portions of the landed endowment of the Museum had been sold, and the sum of about £1,000 accumulated in the hands of the Government from this source. He could not refrain from repeating the ex pression of opinion contained in the annual report, that " tho management of the en dowment would have been far better placed in the hands of the Council of the Institute, aa the body most directly Interested." The sum of £42 had been paid to the Institute as a grant under the provisions of the Public Libraries Subsidies Act, and an order for books to that amount despatched. The sixteenth volume of the Transactions of the New Zealand Institute had been received, and showed that there had been no diminu tion in the activity of the scientific men of the colony. Of the various branches of science, zoology and botany appeared to have claimed the greater share of attention, Of the fifty-seven papers published of the Transactions, twenty-five related to zoology ■ and twonty-two to botany. Chemistry waa represented by one paper alone, read before this Institute by Mr J. A. Pond, while among the miscellaneous subjects he re joiced to see that a branch of science still in its infancy, and which might even yet have a hard struggle before its claim to be regarded as a branch of science was fully recognised—he meant the science of juris prudence—was represented by a paperon the la wof gavelkind by Mr Coleman Phillips. The speaker proceeded to refer to the question of jurisprudence, and pointed out that the writings of Sir Henry Maine had laid the foundation for a new method of investiga tion in jurisprudence, new in as far as jurisprudence was concerned, though tho method was. nothing but the application of inductive philosophy in place of the a priori methods which had hitherto been adopted by theoretical writers on legal subjects — _._.., Bentham, &c. A systematic study of the customs of the aborigines of those islands would probably afford valuable material for further investigations in the history of law, as the labours of Sir George Grey, Mr Celenso, and others seemed to show. In tho course of the subsequent por tion of his address. Mr Smith made reference to the recent volcanic eruption in the Straits of Sunda, and the Shapira forgery which attracted somuch attention in Europe lately. Tho necessity for a school of technical educa tion was dwelt upon, and in an eloquent peroration the speaker expressed the nope that the session on which they had entered would bo one of activity, and that in the course of it valuable permanent addition would be made by the contributions of the members of the Institute. He proceeded :—lt ia not given to all ot us to divert the current of human thought, or to remodel the universe. Most of us have to be content and thankful if we can, as passing travellers, add but a small pebble to tho growing cairn. The great mass of human knowledge is, for the moat part, made up of the minute contributions of individuals, and while we bow in reverence before the achievements of master minds, we cannot afford to despise the humbler labours of the majority. The truth of a great scientific theory can only be tested by the minute investigation of details, and the discovery of some fact, in itself apparently insignificant, may be fraught with issues of incalculable importance. The only attitude that we can rightly assume is that of humble seekers after truth, humble and yet fearless of re sults, knowing that nothing will be perman ent that is not really true, and that nothing that is true can be unimportant. What the final result may be we can leave to take care of itself. We are "toiling upward in the night," and who shall pre scribe the limits to which we may ultimately attain ? The President was loudly applauded on resuming his seat. A paper by the Rev. S. W. Baker, contain ing " Notes on a Bird called Malan," was read. It was stated that the Malan was only found on the small island Ninafou, to the northward of Tonga. It was confined to the immediate vicinity of a deep crater— like lake. The bird excavated tunnels six feet in length before depositing its eggs. A second paper by Captain Broun described ten new species of ground beetles, discovered by Messrs T. Chalmer and S. W. Fulton in Otago. The title of the paper was "A decade of new species of Feroniidce."

FROM a late paragraph and advertise ment in the "New Zealand Herald," we notice n serious error in tlio remarks about the Increase of imports in Indian Teas. We can as sure all interested that tlio consumption of Indian Ten lias decreased to in alarming extent; so much so that last season tho Melbourno and Now Zealand markets were glutted, and good, sound, sweet Teas were selling peuco per lb. below cost, and this year the imports are many thousands of cases below last, making it a very difficult matter to buy even a few hundred cases. Tho samo advertisement alludes to the intro duction of Indians into Now Zealand, with regard to which we beg to draw the attention of tlie public to the following local that appeared somo time hack in the "Lyitellon limes," showing NELSON, MOATE, & Co. to bo tho Largest importers, and consequently the Largest Sellers, of Indian Tea in New Zealand. We do not wish to run Indian Tea down, as it is without doubt, when carefully fired, Sec., a most useful Tea to those only experienced in tlio art oflilending China and Indian Tbas. The Tea by itsoli will never take tho place of China or Blendod Teas, as only about 10 °A of tho Toa Drinkers aro ever able to drink evon the finest Darjceling and Assam kinds. In England the consumption of Blended Toa has increased to a greater extent than tiny ori ginal Imported tea. The largest importation of Indian Teas to Now Zealand was mnde lust month by Messrs NELSON, MOATE, & Co. It consisted of over 1,200 packages (chest, and half-chests) of Pekoes and Pekoo Souchong, from the well-known dis tricts of Cuchar, Assam, Darjceling, Soviet*. Chit tagong, and Dovars. We aro informed this is ono of many shipments during tho year, in tended for use in blending with numerous vario tiv» of now season China teas. Neison.

For the Guidance of Others. FAIN VANQUISHED. Glenmore Road, Paddington, Uth January. 1884.' " Gentlemen,—Some few weeks since I was so severely affected with indigestion as to render my rising each morning a matter of difficulty and pain on account of severe pains in the back; and It had just become necessary for me to tike ' a holiday from my work, for tho performance of which I was by no means fit, when a friend mentioned to me the benefit he derived from the use of Hamburg Tea. In the hope of getting some relief, I used it myself, the result being that I was myself in threo or four days, and have not suffered since. My friends have. advised me to write this for the guidance of others, and you are at liberty to make what use you please of this. "Yours, "JOHN KELLY. ' "Messrs Elliott Bros., Sydney." HAMBURG TEA.
