(6) Petitiori from residents Pouglas stroet re cutting i That the modified levels of Douglas'street, as shown onl plan (marked in pencil), be adopted, (7) Letter from J. McComish re channel, Cross-street ; That a oonorete channel be made on top of rough stones.— Cr. Fleming moved the adoption of the re port.—ln reply to Cr. Montague,the Mayor stated that the owners of Palmerston B wild ings had objected to. paba standing there.—Cr. Montague then said that the streets wero the property of the city, and as the public convenience should be considered, he would move as an amendment, • t That the number of cabs to sta.nd at Fort-street be reduced to p, and that 3 stand in Queenr streot at Palmerston Buildings." The amendment was carried, —Cr, Montague then moved <( That two he taken from Vie. toria-street and placed in Queen-street in front of the New Zealand Insurance Build ings." Carried, It was also decided that ten cabs be placed in Shortland-street bb soon as the Arcade building is completed. Clause one as amended was passed. Cr. Garratt moved " That an express stan.s for four vehicles be fixed at; Ytytwfo-Sti&ei; East,1' Carrled.-Tha report was then adopted with the exception of clause C, consideration of which was deferred.

Legal Committee's Report.—This Com mittee reoomraended as follows:—(1) Letters from. H, F, Edgor and W. L. Collie, pre senting books to tho Public Librery : That the same be accepted with thanks. (2) Petitions (2) from residents of Hobson and Pitt-streets, and letter from E, A. Plumley and others, re removal of trees: That, as a great difference of opinion exists upon the question of removal of the trees, Committee refer the matter to the consideration of the Council, and that the decision of a majority of the. ratepayers in the !Noith and South Wards may be obtained by a poll if con sidered desirable by the Council. (3) Memo. „ from Town Clerk re Small-pox Hospital: That the Council authorise the erection of two (2) detached wards, and one nurse ward be at once erected on the site previously fixed upon adjacent to the j Hospital, and that the necessary fittings and furniture be authorised. (4) Letter from S. Cochrane and Sw> re copies of old local papers for Haje s That offer he de clined, same not being bound,—The Mayor moved the adoption of the report.—A large deputation of ratepayers waited on the Council with reference to the trees in Hobson-street. The Mayor invited any of those present to speak,—Mr Doonin ssaid. that he and. a great many property-holders of the street objected to the trees because they impeded the traffic, and converted the street half into a pasture. They also made the street damp and untidy. He asked that the Council should decide the matter — Mr Knight, followed in the same strain,

He pointed out that in course of time the roots of the trees would interfere with the channels and footpatht, and would be a considerable source of expense.—Cr, Garratt moved as an amendment to the Committee's recommendation that the Coun cil's first decision to remove the trees be ad hered to. He believed that if. the poll were taken, a decision in favour of the retention of the trees would be carried by a large majority, but he thought that the business people of Hobson-street should be con sidered. — Cr. Fleming seconded the amendment. On the ground of the nuisance of the dead leaves alone he thought that the trees should be removed.—Cr. Masefield said that he did not think that a poll of the two wards would be a fair criterion, and if the amendment were lost he would move a further amend ment that a poll of the residents of Hobson and Pitt-streets be taken. —Cr. Field pointed out that now that the tram way ran down Hobson-street there was only 15 feet on each side of the tram-line available for vehicles. Crs. Devore and Crowther supported the amendment. The latter said that in Wellesley-street the trees had already begun to affect the channels. Other Councillors having spoken, the Mayor remarked that when the trees were first planted in Hobson-street, the business people had objected. Ho testified to the inconvenience caused by the trees. The amendment was then carried.

The Ckmetery Viaduct.—The Streets Committee recommended re Cemetery Bridge, letter from C. Outhwaite, re approaches Grafton Roadside, "Thatthe offer bo accepted, and Committee recom mend that the design No. 1 of an iron foot bridge, submitted by the City Engineer (£700), bo authorised] and the same bo ordered by cablegram through the Bank."— Cr. Aiclrin moved the addition of the words to tliej report, "provided that the Engineer is satisfied as to the stability the bridge." — Cr. Field urged the advisability ot deferring the matter until the Council had all the con cessions J£from property owners in legal form—lt was eventually decided to post pone tho matter till next meeting, Engineer to report as to the stability of tho approved design, and_ deed from property owners be obtained.

Main Sewkk— The Engineer reported that tenders could be called for the main sower next week, if necessary, the plans being ready.—The Mayor said that the Freezing Company had not yet signed the deed, so that the delay was not the fault of the Council.

Insurance of City Property. — The Mayor intimated that the arrangement with the National Fire Insurance Company to in?uro the city property expires on the Ist September next, and the several insurance companies had been invited to tender. None had responded except the National, it being understood that the risks would be re insured amongst the other companies. The National offered to insure for another three years on the same terms as previously, viz , brick and stone buildings at 10s per cent, per annum, iron buildings at 12s ditto, wooden buildings at 19 ditto, "subject, however, to special rates for the following risks :— City Market, 30s per cent, public baths, 40s per cent., (lour mill and machinery plant, Western Springs, 40s per cent, "^Referring to the spocial rate?, the manager of the Company wrote :— "That the City Market has proved a fruitful sourco of loss in the past, ah each occupation involves an addi tional risk, a rate somewhat commensurate with same has been quoted. (2) The public baths are in close proximity to a timber yard and saw mill, which no company will accept under 00s. (3) Flour mills are in vuriably classed as special hazard,?.'*- Sev eral Councillors pointed, out that the rates quoted werp larger than ordinary rates.—Referred to Finance Committee with power to act.

Road Roller.—Mr Errington reported that the road roller now worked well, and recommended that whe^ It was taken over by the City Engineer all spare gear he placed in store.— Cr. Crowtjicr said that Mr Errington had not reported that the Machinery Inspector lmd takon oil'one-sixth of the pressure.—Cr. Masefield said the matter mentioned t)Y Cr. Orowther was important. In SQma of the steep grades they woi^d, require every pound of steam.—C>. Crowtber eaid that on trying t|ic machine \n Symonds-streot the additional pressure was required., it would not doits worki^nless they wereallowedto use a greater pressure,—Cr. Wayrnouth sug gested that application be made to the (iovernment for permission to work the roller up to the pressure guaranteed by the manufacturer.—Cr. Aickin moved that an engineer to drive the roller be advertised for.—Cr. Crowther seconded profonuit, but the motion was withdrawn on Or. La Roche pointing out that the 'ntroductjon of such a motion without notice ift'as informal.

Strek* Levels.—There were four objec tors to the levels of Lorao<»treet as adver tised, and it was doclded to. postpone the matter for a month, to endeavour to meet tlio wishes of the objectoys, The levels of Norfolk-street as advertised were fixed. With referenoe to. the Douglas-street levels, it was decided that the attended levels as shown by pencil lines on plan be fixed. Western Swhsgs Estate.—Mr Warner was authorised to proceed with the survey of all the Corporation land, with the. view of having same brought under the Land Transfer Act. It was also deeded to take possession of 2 roods 4 parches abutting on Martin's property, crossing from North Road to Now Worth Road, and fence it in.

Tramway Licenses.— The Tramway Com pany wrote demurring at the Council's letter regarding the payment of license fees for drivers of tram-cars, and stating they were not liable under the agreement between tlio Council and the Company,—The Mayor said the Company was bound to accede to tlie conditions of thepassengftr traffic; it was the business of the Council to. see that the public wore not inconvenienced*—The City SolicitorheldthattheCompanywassubjectto the regulations applicable to public vehicles, and that the Company was not exempted, only from municipal rates.. The solicitor's opinion was read by the Town Clerk. Atten tion in it was drawn to the default penalties, which had not been complied witfe.—-The Mayor moved, " That the whol^ correspon dence be referred to tho Legal Committee." —Cr. Montague painted out that tho Corn had to keep $0 pey cent of Queen-street in repair, and thjs was equal to the license. These people were playing a losing game, but they had shown an intention to comply with the regulations. If they had not com pleted the line, was it their fault? Had the Council prepared the levels of the streets» He had no objection to the refer ence of the matter to the Committee.—The motion was agreed to., Aspuawing Crossings On the motion of Cr. Holland, it was resolved :—" That in future, whan any foothpath is asphalted, all necessary crossings connected therewith be done at the same time when practicable. 2. That the Engineer be instructed to re port to the Council what other crossings he would recommend shouldi be asphalted throughout the city." ■ 1 Library Advisor* Committee A lengthy discussion took, place on Cr. Upton's motion ;— '< 1. That a Public Library Advisory Committee be appointed, consisting of five persons, not members of the Council, to assist the Councii in the formation of the Pubic Library, by advising it as to tho selection of books, 2. That it b? referred to the Library Committee to nominate to tho Councii for approval the names of five suitable persons to be invited to act as such committee." Eventual!v aa amend ment by Cr.

OUTRAGE AT TE AROHA.

» ; Narrow Escape from a FeartUl Explosion.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—-OWN COKRESTONDENT.)

Cambridge, this day. The Ptako County Council have received a telegram from Te Aroha tramway manager which tends to show that a little Fenianism is going on in that part of the country. He states that yesterday morning, on proceed ing to the works one of the trucks went down over the lowerself-acting spur,through the fastenings having been cut during the night, doing damage to the extent of £10. A very destructive explosion was narrowly avoided, as the truck q;i the up-line was filled with dynamite caps, fuses, <fee, which, had it been struck hy the descending truck would have proved destructive to both life and property. The Council has communi cated with Superintendent Thomson asking him to appoint a policemnn to look after the place.

CORRESPONDENCE.

A Personal Explanation.

(To the Editor.)

SIX, — Noticing the publicity which you have given to the .late case of Keyse and Malcolmson v. Halstead Bros., I have to state that, although appearing aa one of the plaintiffs, the action was taken wholly without my approval, and on my learning that such an action was to bejtaken, I informed Mr Cooper, my late partner's counsel, as I considered the cause of the loss of tho horse was owing principally to the instructions of the Messrs Halstead net being properly carried out in consequence of our servants being unable to give the horse that attention it required during its illness. I would in no manner become a party to the action with Mr Keyse against the firm of Halstead Bros This public explanation I consider is duo to the Messrs Halstead, and I sincerely ro"ret my name has been associated with Mr Keyse in his action against them.—l am, &c Wm. Laing Malcolmsox. "'

A Royal Observatory.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Amongst scientific men the want of an observatory has long been felt, and its absence is justly regarded as a reproach to the colony. Whilst Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide in the sister colonies, each boasts of an institution of this kind, New Zealand is singularly behind the times in this respect. What a glorious ornament would be a building worthy of the sito occupied by tho Transit of Venus party in our Domain. It would overlook a scene of exquisite loveliness, a panorama of peerless beauty. Now, Mr Editor, let me sketch a plan which might carry out this desirable consummation, and prove a verit able windfall to our impoverished treasury I believe our constitution is founded on the English model, tho representatives of our Upper House corresponding with the British House of Lords ; the aristocracy of the country in fact. The fair inference is that they are men of position. Now surely the patriotism of these gentlemen need not be paidfor. Abolish then theiratipend. and you will give good yearly income to the Govern ment. I once heard Mr Peter Taylor say in addressinghis constituents at Leicester that the British House of Lords " was a standing insult to the common sense and intelligence of the country." Ido not go this length for even the Houseof Commons havebeen driven by passion to acts of violence which tha de liberations of the Upper House have mo di fied and checked By parity q{ reaßOn ; ing, the same might hold good in this coun try; hence I adhere to the old model At the same time I think that the reputation for wisdom and eloquence in the Senate should be a.sufficient, prize to the gentle men of the Upper Chamber, and that their payment is a work of supererogation The means being provided, let us look at the good which would follow the attainment of the obiect I have so feebly suggested Science would be greatly benefited t'ae !*".<& of astronomy and the sister arts facilitated, and a closer attention to the results deducible from meteorology would be fraught with priceless %Vsings to the tempest-tossed farmer, aid a great national reproach Vould be taken away I trust, sir, that pens more power ful than mine will soon be found to cham pion so good a cause. It is much to be deplored that in the coming total eclipse of the sun on ftth September, 1885, the field of objervatjon will be left almost exclusively to Australia through want of the necessary apparatus in this country I am, &c 0 A. E. Abbott. ' '' * Park Road, Parnell, 21st August.

"Honour to Whom Honour is Due."

(To the Edito r> )

Sir,—ln your issue of August IStli I notice with great pleasure a letter from the Gover, nor's Private Secretary to MrT. B. Hanna ford, of this city, thanking that gentleman for a suggestion which is of very great im portance to the travelling public. I myself have had long experience, and many hair breadth escapes fr6m the dangerous rocks upon our coasts, and with your kind per mission, sir, desire to endorse all that has been so well stated by Mr Hannaford in your columns ; and to thank that gentle man, in the name of a large family, who are in continual peril when travelling at night, from the numberless unguarded reefs upon our "coastline. This is indeed a practical suggestion, which would be hailed by many in Auckland with great satisfaction. It is well remembered by me, now more than a quarter of a century since, what a pleasing sound was the bell buoy at Liverpool, arj3 how useful it was in directing vessels in distress into the dangerous channel 'jp the Mersey. Personally Mr Hannaford is a stranger to me, but it is nevertheless a pleasure to thank that gen<ieman for hia letter m your issue of the. lSth ult.—l am, etc., Richakd MaksHj

Adulteration of Coffee.

(To the Editor),

gm,— With your leave I would like to make a few remarks upon a paragraph which ap peared in your issue tff last evening re adulteration of coffee, an the first place, let me say that the mixing of chicory with coffee in any. proportions does not amount to adulteration, providing the mixture is sold as chicory and coffee. Moreover, the general taste is puch that a moderate mix ture is preferred to pure coffee. My experi ence teaches me that very few can ap preciate pure coflee, the liquor being thin and weak as compared with tbat derived from a mixture of chicory ami enffee. Tli» question is, of course, "What is a> fair mixture?" and, obviously, that is influenced by the price f- 0 be obtained. The coffee merchant wusfc have his profit, and he will naturally provide for that in his mixture, On the other hand, he has to compare with others in the same trade, and. that acts as an incentive to him to produce a good article for the money charged. In deed, thepubHc may safely leave thequestiyn ot the fairness of the mixture to the spirit of competition which exists. Ard the public may also be assured that fq,r money they can get coffee of any grade^ f rom va / 0 downwards. The sample whicli your re potter speaks of as containing 50 per cent, of clncory is really a medium or low-priced coffee, such as would be acceptable to most consumers, always providing the coffee used were of first-cla3s quality. I do not thing that chicory is used hew so extensively as at Home. I knew a large firm in a northern county who made a tenpenny retail coffee, the con stituents of which were four parts chicory to one part coffee. Now if. our worthy Inspector would turn hia atten tion to pepper, I think h Q WO uld find real adulteration. Not that local manufacturers have any reason to fear walftjl?ut * knoW for a fact> and Mr Woolfield knows it too, that one Southern sample which is being- pushed here contams on the authority of the Public Analyst, afc least 25 per cent, of adulteration. Surely some steps should be taken on such a re port,—lam, &c, One who Knows.

The publisher has much pleasure in acknow ledging receipt of the following testimonial from well-known agriculturalists and otlicr practical colonists on the value of the above work:— The following letter la from Mr James Wal lace, Hillside, Papatoitol. As one of the most practical and successful settlors in tho Auckland distriot, his opinion is of great value. "Sib.—l have looked forward with a con siderable degree of interest to the publication of Bkktt's Colonists' Guide, and can now say that it has far exceeded my expectations. Hardly a day passes without my finding some thing In its pages both interesting and Instruc tive. It U a book that should be in every Bottler's house in the colony. The portion devoted to farming is full of reliable informa tion, and I have no hesitation In saying that it is the most comprehensive and useful guide for a New Zealand colonist ever published." From 8m Georoe Grey; K.C.B.—"My dear Sir,—l have kept in constant use for upwards of two months the copy of Brett's Colonists' Guide and Cyclopaedia of Useful Know ledge, which you wero good enough to send Din. I have tested it in many wajß upon a great variety of useful subjects, and am satisfied that It is by far the best work of tho kind I have ever Been. I feel that its merits and usefulness in re lation to all practical subjects, on which a sottlor's comfort and success depend, render It a noconsary appendage to every home In Now Zea land. - Faithfully yours, G. Grey. - Kawau. January 7th, 1881." " Dear Sir,—Having subscribed for Brett's Colonists' Guidk, 1 beg to soy that I am very ploasod with it. The amount of practical infor mation contained in it in Invaluable, and I con aidor it the best 20s worth yet offered to the Now Zealand Public. No settlor or businnns man should be without it. I think public opinion will say that you have conferred v tioon on tho colony by your spirited effort. Thanking you personally, and wishing the publication every Buccess, I am, Sir, yours truly, Noah Wood." Consul Griffin writes ob follows with re ference to this work. As a gcntloman of oxton- Blvo lltorary acquirements, and acquainted with the valuablo library of practical works for which wo are Indebted to the United States, hia opinion ia noteworthy ;— " Tho book is tho most valuablo work of the kind published In tho Colonlos. I havo rend ovory chapter in it with attention and pleasure. Tho oxtcnt, variety, and accuracy of its infor mation aro extraordinary. It is what it claims to be, a Cyclopmdla of Universal Knowledge. Tho inßlght that it glveß Into the moat approved methods of agriculture, tho management of II ye stock, tho dairy—in fact everything pcriuinlnK to farming operations—romincml it to everyone Interested In tho prosperity of the colony. The editor has displayed niont cxcallent taßte and judgment. All his ideas aro eminently broiid and practical. Tho arrangement of the subject matter is simply admirable. I am especially ploased with tho articles on vinery, flax, fruit, and hop culture. The abstract of tho local Government and land laws of llii" colony Ih the niOHt succinct ami Intollltible tliat tins come under my observation, whilst the printing binding, and illustrations (if tho work ure superb." Mr John Wallace, of Bothwell Park, Waluku (formerly of Flat Bush), who is one of our earliest settlers, and has been for many years closely connected wltn every effort to pro mote tho agricultural interests of the Auckland district, writes as follows:— "Dear Sir,—l have much pleasure in adding my mite In warm commendation ot Brett's Colonists' Guide. It is a book that should be, not only in every farmer's library, but should also bo on evory colonist's book-shelf, no matter In what line of colonial industry be or she pay be engaged. There is information for all. In looking backovoraporod of 4lyears'of hard color nial work how much valuable time and money mighthave been saved if atthe beginning such a fund of Information hod been available to guide us as ia now within the rcaoh ot all in the shape of Brett's Guide. Colonists, who desire to bo worthy of tho namo, should not, from its ele gant appearance or the quality of tho material, make it a drawing - room book, to bo looked at and admired as one would a picture or a curio; they should havo It on the mantle-shelf, the sofa, or the corner of the tablo; in fact, imywhero so that tfio eye of Father. Mother, Johnny, and Jenny, and even the helps, may have a chance of look- Ing at it during spare minutes in the beat of summer or the inclemency of winter. Mr Brett has shown pluck in bringing out nuoh a book, has boen exceedingly fortunate in tho gelectlon of his contributors, and I sincerely bopu It will prove a financial bucccss." Mr George Holdsiiif, Managing Director ot the Auckland Timber Company, and a practical colonist of long experience), writeß :— "Sir,—l have looked over your Settlers' Guide, and consider it one of tho most useful and valuable bookß for tho New Zealand settlor ever published.
