The great sights of Vavau aro tho caves, situated about fivo miles down tho harbour. Tho launch was laid on to tho chief ono and steamed inside with her wondering crowd of 33 people aboard, and two boats in tow containing tho other 25. Tho en-; tranco would bo about 85 feet wiclou height tho eaino; the aren in- Bid; would bcabout 100 feet in diamotero tho height of the ceiling or dome would b up to SO or 100 feet in the centre. The fofr! ■nation was liko well-smoothed coral. The tints oflight blue find softened white brought out by'tlio' sun shining into the entrance wero unmistakably lovely and fairy-like. Ono or two massive stalactites hanging down amidst other minor ones enhanced tho beauty of the seen.); at the far end was an opening leading into other minor cavoa.

Beyond this some two milos is Byron's Cavo, referred to by him in " Tho Island Poem," to enter which yon have to dis'e some 15 to IS foot, and then swim through an entrance of somo 15 feet boforo rising in tho interior. Threo of our number ac complished tho feat with tho assistanco of natives. One cut himself slightly on tho shoulder owing to his rising too soon. It i.< a hazardous undertaking, and should only bo attompted by export divers and swim mers.

Within hulf-an-hour's walk of Neipu, there is a pudding-shaped hill, called by the natives Tallin. It is well worth ascending, to obtain an excellent panoramic viow of tho surrounding islands and water?. Others of our number took horses and rode across the island.

Vavua can, without question, lay claim to boing the most picturesque and pleasing spot of our many island visits. Aft or sponding all Friday and Saturday, wo took our.departure at 7 o'clock Sunday morning, 27th inst., for our last island of call. Tho bend which divides tho innor from tlio outer harbour is very sharp, and at tho narrowost place is not more than 300 feet across. I have omitted to mention that King George, of Tonga, received visits from sev eral of us. I[ois a fino-looking native, of eighty-four years of ago." Ho sat in a largo sparely furnished room, in difFerontlj clad ; ho looked aged and care worn, and lacked anything approaching onorgy, and seemed totally disinclined to bestir himself from his chair. Through his premier he was invited to dino aboard tho ship, but expressed his regret at being obliged to decline. His grandson, Prince Wellington (W. G. Tuboo Malohi), tho Go vernor of Na van, is a fine specimen of human ity, 24 years of ago. He, with the Roy. Shir loy and Mrs Baker, accepted asimilar invitation. The former speaks English well, displays a tasto for music, and played fairly well on our piano. Boforo dispersing from the dinner table, his health was in a very eloquent mannor proposed by Sir J. H. Crossman, and tho Prince's speech in reply, delivered in the Tongese language and ably translated by tho Rev. Mr Baker, indicated that he possossod much thoughtful ability. The Rev. Mr Baker's health was also drunk, and suitably responded to. The Prince, desiring to show us some at tention, placed his new schooner yacht (35 tons) at our disposal (Ngatagitau) — q's aro pronounced ng. She was built in Auckland by Niccol, at a cost of £1,000. A cruise was organised for the aftcrnaon, and well en joyed by a fair number who wore not othor wiso exploring through prior engagements,

Tongatabu, after a steaming distance of 160 miles, wa.-< reached at 9 a.m. on Monday, 28th instant. What a flat, uninteresting spot ! was the general exclamation as we approached the island, beating up for tho town of Nukua lofa, und how dangerous tho approach to the anchorage ground. The sea was glassy, not a ripple on the surface to give visible warning of the many interspersed coral patches which at low water would be just awash. How we were navigated through them is a marvel, and to even an amateur mind I cannot but feel that the approaches to Tongatabu are highly dangerous for such a long and deep draught vessel as the Wai rarapa. When once at the anchorage the holding ground is said to bo good, but the dangerous approach of two or three miles around ought certainly to bo a warning against a large and valuable steamer ever again visiting it—at any rate, until it is thoroughly buoyed. The launch was laid on at half-past twelve for the village of " Mua," ten miles from tho landing-place of Nukualofa. About 40 availed themselves of the opportunity, ne cessitating a boat being taken in tow. The chr.nnel being intricate, through narrow coral walls in some parts, the nativo pilot was engaged. The journey look 1 hour 10 minutes each way, but it is an expedition requiring an entire day, as it is impossible to see all that is to be seen out of this village in less than four or five hours. An early return had to be made to get back before dark.

The sights there were tho largest banyan tree known in the Pacific, also the pyramid gravestones of the ancient high priests of the Tongans. Another village was visited next clay, called Bea, about six miles distant, remark able in somo degree for the ancient earth works built all round, but now falling into rapid decay. The access to the village ia through an Oldening, evidently indicating, that it was looked upon as a stronghold in time of attack. The situation is some dis tance from the coast. It is here that the principal Tongan chief resides. Nukualofa itself is a modernised town, and possesses somo large .wooden buildings, the King's Palace being the most promi nent. There is very little of interest in the town itself. Our object was not to see what our own towns put before us, but as far aa possible pure nature unadulterated by tho hands of civilisation. The chief sight of Tongatabu which should be seen by every visitor, is the remarkable Anciont Monument called Koe Ha 'Amoga' a Maul. It is situated near the village of Kotogo, 15 miles from Nukualofa. The last remarkable Eight I have to men tion as belonging to Tonga is the scene of some 2,000 flying foxes some little distance out of Nukualofa. They were held sacred as hovering over the graves of certain chiefs, and no one is permitted to in any way hunt or disturb them. The spot is worth a visit.

At three o'clock this (Tuesday) afternoon, 29th instant, we raised our anchor for the last time. A more prosperous and en joyable cruise could not. possibly be ex celled. One and all on board unanimously agreed in pronouncing such a verdict. Dur ing the entire twenty-six days not even .as much as a shower of rain has fairen to damp or check our many and varied explo rations. No case of illness other than the most ordinary every-day type has attacked tho most susceptible amongst us ; nothing approaching unseemly behaviour either on the part of the most high-spirited of our young fellow-passengers in the crew has shown even near the surface to shock the tenderest feeling of the softer sex. Truly, there lias been a guiding star hovering over our heads from first to last. This South Sea Island cruise in the s.s. Wairarapa will be long and favourably re tained in many a memory. Apart from the pleasurable feature of the trip, and the complete success attending it so far as the health-seeker and globe-trotter are con cerned, such cruising into the vast Pacitic cannot but have the effect of bringing into greater and deserving prominence before the world at largo its many isles, all more or loss so profusely tended by nature, and teeming with future wealth: they aro at the present time simply in their infancy. , The Union Steamship Company, in keep ing with their past and present far-sighted enterprise, are doing a great national work, and it is now for our New Zealand (legisla tive men) Parliament, our financial com panies, our enterprising merchant firms, and individuals to follow up this bold step with a view of seeking to secure to this colony the mine of. wealth that at the present time his lying comparatively dor mant at its very door. Our geographical position indicates clearly that we ought to be the great distributing centre of the commerce of the Pacific Isles.

The vessel made a good ran of three days eighteen hours to Auckland, arriving ut 10 o'clock this morning, remarkably fine weather being experienced throughout.

Compliments to the Officers.

After dinner last evening, the Hon. C, Carnegio rose and spoke in the most eulo gistic terms of the manner in which the trip had boon conducted by Captain Chat field and his officers and Mr Wheeler, manager of the tour, but for whose energy the excursion would not have been the unqualified success it had proved. {Loud applause.) Mr Wheeler had not spared himself in his anxiety to make the trip agreeable To be called upon to answtr twenty questions at once, some of them controvertible, and lo do so pleasing all, showed a serenity of temper which unhappily falls to the lot of few. He also spoke highly of Chief Officer Stott and the other officers of the ship. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. Captain Chatfield and JJr W. F. Wheeler mutably responded, both .speaking of the very pleasant nature of the relations that had prevailed between the officers and pas sengers. Mr Wheeler announced that it was the intention of the Company to nmko these trips annual, and that in futnie excursions several other islands of even greater importance would probably be included.

AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS MOBBED.

Disgraceful Scene on tho Oval Ground,

(Received August 2—11.45 a.m.) London, August 1. In tho cricket match between tho Players and tho Australians, at tho luncheon hour tho colonials only required eleven runs to win the match. The crowd demanded that the game should be immediately finished, because they suspected that the match would be prolonged for the sake of tho gate money. On knowing this, Murdoch allowed the free admission of the public after 2 o'clock. Tho ■nob then rushed the ground, drew the stumps, pulled up stakes, and jostled and hooted tho colonials. After a delay of about throe quarters of an hour, the police succeeded in clearing tho ground. The gamo was then proceeded with and won in a few minutes.

THE CATHOLICS AND THE LATE ELECTIONS.

"The Tablet "Advocates Block Voting,

Du.nedi.v, this day. "The Tablet," in an articlo on the elec tion, says tho Catholics in New Zoa!a; d are unable to return even one membor to tho House, and no Catholic dare present him self as a Catholic on any hustings in the colony. The very fact of being a Catholic is a positive disqualification everywhere. At this moment the Catholic body is totally unrepresented in Parliament. Such is the hostility to Catholics that their avowed opposition-to any candidate for any position, parliamentary, municipal, or otherwise, ia the surest means of bringing about that candidate's election. Solf - preservation, therefore, calls upon Catholics to pursue a very cautious and watchful course,, and their experience gained during tho recent general olection will help to guido them in the future. When Catholics were openly opposed to a candidate, they only suc ceeded in causing tho return of the vury man thoy wished to see rejocted &This should bo a warning to Catholics ftr all timo what to do. Wo recommend thorn simply this: Let throe or four prudent, silent men, bo appointed in each locality to look after tho registration of Catholic voters. Let them meet once a month, and toko care that not ono Catholic be omitted from tho electoral roll. Then at election timo Catholics, if thoy will take our advico—an advice grounded on long ex perience—will understand one another, pledge themsolves to no candidate, and when thoy are unable to return a friend, take care to vote against the former member, if an enemy, no matter who may bo his opponent. It may be asked : What is tho philosophy of this ? Why, when two candidates are equally bad and equally good, vote for tho one rather than the other. There is a twofold reason— l3t. One has already done wrong; tho other, indeed) promises to do wrong, but it is time enough to punish him when ho does so. 2nd. By pursuing the course wo re commend it will be in our power to lis organise parties, as wo have powerfully helped to do in the recent general elections, and by so doing compel parties in tlie long run to unite to settle the education ques tion on just and equitable principles, and thus remove an element of uncertainty and strife from which all are suffering. Why is it that no party has a majority at this moment in the House of Representatives ? We venture to say that were it not for the education question the stato of things would not exist. Thousands of voters in the re cent contest abandoned the political party they would have gladly supported were it not that they regarded the education ques tion of paramount importance. We could name many defeated candidates of all parties who would be sitting members to day were it not for the education question. This, and this alone, it was that in most instances decided the elections, and it is only by pursuing the course we have recommended that we can ever hope to ob tain justice.
