SK.MMAI'.Y OF HI'.(.'(>MME>>"J).\T:ONS.

To recapitulate : I recommend that tl.e principal cities and ports of New Zealand shall bo defended by land batteries and Hubmarino min.s svliero applicable ; that ar rangements be inailo for utilising for pur' poses of war tine merchant s-teamers which aro capable of being so turned toaccotint.aud that tho land and naval foroi s of the coloi.y bo reorganised, so :;.s to lit them for the duties they would have to perform if railed upon for actual Horvico. It may, however, and not unreasonably, bo inquired, "But how much will all this cost! ? !> Well", not so largo a sum as many supposo. Tho whole thing could i.c done for a capital sum of £100,000. Of course, there would also bo somo annual expenditure) in addition to that at present incurred for the maintenance of ammunition and stores, and for pay of bili.ers and men. I cannot now say what thi-j would amount to, but it would not bo larpo. 1 venture to think that, considering tho interests at stake, tho capital sum I havo named is a moderate price to pay for tho benefit it will purchase, Not to mention the amount of local commerce of tho colony, tho value of the cities to bo defended is probably about thirty millions sterling. The loss which would bo occasioned by one attack would far exceed tho outlay which would havo prevented it, and tho degradation to which it would subject tho country is beyond my power to estimate Ido ven ture to suggest that Now Zealand should not rest content in her present unprotected condition. It is not only impolitic but rash for her to remain in a passive, defenceless state, unprepared to resist aggression, trust ing to tho foibeni-aneo of aiiy power pos sessing the means of attack. Necessary moasurcd should be taken gradually' and deliberately, and should not bo deferred for spasmodic action at a timo of panic, when steps would bo hurriedly taken, which would surely lead to useless expendi ture, and would moreover not effect their object. New Zealand is no longer in her infancy, but in full vjgour of youth;, and 1 am'sine that her people, vital as tho question is to them, aro prepared to incur tho burden and responsibility of their defence. Somo 1 know say that thero is no chance of New Zealand over being attacked, and that she is therefore nndor no neces?ily to. provide for her defence. Jf this, be fo, for what pmpo.-o do Volunteer forces exist throughout tho colony? Tho very main tenanoo of these (shows a desire: to be defended against external aggression. They do not, however, effect- their object. I have endeavoured to show you how Now Zealand may both aim at tho objoot, and effect it too. If she is not liable to attack, she does too much. If she is, she does too little. Let her settle fairly and logically what her aim is, m,d act Accordingly. I have laid before you an outlino of the prin ciples which should guide tho people in taking measures to place their country in a reasonable position of defence, New Zea land is happily united to tho greatest marine power the world has ever scon, which by her fleets and squadrons acting from her naval stations, protects tho commerce of the em pire. Tlio "mother country," as she is sometimes called, cannot, however, do everything. Australasia m.list do hor part. Neighbouring colonies, are doing their duty in the matter, and I havo no doubt this Briton of the South will profit by their ex perience. Whilst the money and energies are rightly employed in tho development of the great intornfil lwonrccs of tho country : whilst railway and haibour works: are being constructed and mines opened out,: whilst large sums are • pent, and justly spent, on the education of the youth of the country ; whilst a portion of i ho revenue is applied to keeping peace within, it must not be forgotten that unless proper precautions'are taken, Niw Zealand remains opon toattack from without. I venture to urge the measures I have sug gested, in ordor that the country itself may bo secme, that it may tnk. its share in Australian defence, and that it may do its duty as part of the British Empire—look ing forward to tho time when New' Zealand may become, as I believe she is destined to become, a proud member of the mighty federation of British peoples able to hold their own against the world.

At the conclusion oi tho lecture Mr W. L. Tmrorj moved, and tho Hon. K. Stont fcconded, a heai-ty vote of thar.ks to Ilis Excellency for !:is exceedingly interesting lecture. Tlie room was crowded to excess, and numbers had to be refused admittance.

THE MAYOR'S PICNIC.

His Wobsiijp the Mayor (Mr W, R. Wad del), with characteristic liberality, gave a water picnic on Saturday last, chiefly to the employes under tho City Council and the members of the press, both being largely— almost fully—represented. The steamer Anno Alilbank was engaged for the excur sion, and everything in tho way of provisions, fruits, and drinks was pro vided ad libitum, served up in the daintiest style by Mr Castle?, manager of Canning's Restaurant. The steamer started from tho wharf at 12.45 p.m., but, as at excursions generally, one or two persons were a belle behind time, which neces sitated the putting buck of the vessel. Tho weather was most propitious, tho sky rather cloudy, but_ no rain. There was a fresh, invigora ting brotzo, and every puivon on liourtl was in holiday humour, full of laughter, wit, oncl merriment, with tin occasional stave, the singer generally breaking down at the end of titio lirst ver.-e. The vessel f-tuamed away gaily, but not rapidly, mi the face of the deep waters ; lofty, rugged hills, and .solitary-sloping islands wero seen on both sides ; silly fishes leaped here and there as if look ing for tho sunshine, and suggesting to the amateur fishermen on the boat that, in caso of good bait, a liberal haul for wives and families at homo might be fairly anticipated. An excullcnt luncheon wns in readiness for the eager excursionists at 1.30, and ample justice donotj the substantial viands. Wonderful tho change in counten ance and spirits which this genuine repast brought about; even seriously disposed lawyers smiled with a sense of sufficiency, and newspaper men smacked their lips ovtr tho delicious oysters and satisfying btof, and talked of splendid articles, while tho several members of tho Parliamentary Union wore ripo for mischief, even to the turning out of <he present Ministry. Along we spud, as the winds blew lustier, and !-cull-eap.3 displaced belltoppors, which ap peared unconsciously disposed to rise hea venward, beyond tho reach of their owners'hands, forthepurposooftakinganun piloted ride on tho bounding waves. A trip of four hours brought the boarded com pany to tho Waiheke passage, and to the pleasant farm of IWr Macintosh. Anchor was cast and (he steamer brought to a stand. The slanting, woody scenery of the island, intersected with pastoral spaces, with ono or two -Maori wharee, a pretty Knglish-liko cottage, and the neat homehtwid of Mr Macintosh, convinced us that we wero within the agreeable pale of culture and civilisation. The owner of the farm, a young man of most agreeable and courteous manner, received the visitors with feelings of pleasure, and was evidently, desirous of doing his best to enhance tho pleasures of the lively excursionists. There was a general bustle and running to and fro, unwinding lishing'lines, and shouldering guns, and each passenger having duly " wet his whistle," descended into the boats along side, and in the space of a quarter of an hour, they were 2|eeen climbing tho hill-1, running, wasting powder, and gathering ferns and wild flowers with which the islands literally abound. Sumo of tho farm-paths were exceedingly pleasant, bordered by the fleur-de-lis, wild rose, blossoming October shrub i (termed "may" in the old land), and the beautiful, delicate, and light grocn maidenhair fern, which grows luxuriantly at Wiiiheko. The land, as already indicated, is partly bush, with fine, open patches of grass and good grazing for cattle. Whilst numbers were llowor and fern gathering in the skirts of the ia'.und, and chattering to the little girls,one of whom innocently avowed that she was not a " bush child," as she had spent a week with Aunt Becky, in Auckland, others were li.-hing from the sides of tho steamer, and with great success, pulling out tho silly things with rapid and amazing rapidity, for thi; bay swarms with fish. Tho Waltanian might well sing—

There, all uuconsciou3 of their doom. 'i']i« lisln.-s Kpoi-t mid play, Till hnit is st cm. ti en they become

The angler's ens' prey. Wo could not help thinking that fish' might bo retailed in Auckland at a moderate rate. Hut another thought, kindled by the rattle of crocks and glasses—the dinner—and the whole company retired for tho enjoyment of an excellent spread, at the close of v Inch a few toasts were proposed and drunk with patriotic and Lrjtherly enthusi ng n, The Mayor proposed the Quce:i. Mr Philips iio t os d the toast of tho Mayer, aid in doing bo sfo':e o. His Worship us a gentleman who had i ientiiied himself with the affairs of the city, h;id striven in hi-j oilicial position for tho common weal of citizens, and had been successful iv promoting good feeling among the employer?. Jie had therefore much pleasure in pro posing tho toast of His Worship the Mayor, wishing him and Mrs Waddel"health, lor.g life, and happiness. His Worship made a suitable reply, and thanked them for the toast. His object in projecting this excursion was to give the employes of the Council and the nembers of the Auckland press a good outing; and he hoped they would all enjoy themselves. The health of Mr Macintosh was also drunk, and elicited a' grateful response from that gentleman. The moon had now risen, and was making a silvery pathway across the moving waters and harmony provailed in the crowded saloon duiir.g tho homeward passage. The steamer reached the wharf at 11 o'clock, and before lauding three cheers, with musical honours, wero given for the Mayor.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Opening tho Museum on Sundays.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —I regret to see that tho clergymen of Auckland are getting up petitions against tho movement for tho opening of our Museum on Sundays. Now, most as suredly they are ignorant of the great benefit it would confer on the Working class in general, or they would never do such a thing. If one or more of them wore to travel a little and visit some of the towns where museums are open on Sundays, mix with the crowds that go there sightseeing, and listen to their conversation, I feel assured .they would Cecome more cosmopolitan in their ideas, and fling their antiquated ideas of prejudice on ono side and frankly own that it is a step in the right direction.. If the clergy want to improve tho morals of tho peoplo, they must do so, not by forcing religion down their throats as quack doctors would their preparations,, but by teaching them to cultivate a taste f it the things that are rare and beautiful, viz., works of art, geological collections, &c, &c. I have Eeen and mixed ■vvith people who visited museums on Sundays, who positively wore ignorant that they could obtain so much instruction atid valuable information from such places; and I feel certain that tho majority of the people who would visit the Museum here mi a Sunday aro just the class who seldom, if ever, go to church, but would make an effort, and a successful one, to visit the Museum, Auckland has not lr.a'iy attractions to offer to tho working man on Sunday (except the different places of worship, and they are numerous onough), and tho consequence is that ho loafs about or puts in the whole of his timo in a hotel drinking. Another thing in favour of tho opening of museums on Sundays: Suppose a man is engaged in a shop all the week, nnd novel gets away from business till late every night, he might go on working for ever and never see tho in sHeof tho Museum, whereas the person in his daily rounds can easily pop in and see if the latest addition is interesting or other wise. In that instance lib can well afford to say "close tho Museum on Sunday." I may state that I am not a "Rational ist," and therefore, do not write from any prejudiced view on the subject. bub simply as one who would wish to take bis family to the Museum on Sunday (being debarred from doing so any other day of tbo week), and so blend religious doctrine with innocent recreation, and obtain instruction and information from the collection con tained therein that I would be-otherwise debarred from obtaining,—Yours truly MUiiEE.

It will bo .«con on reference to our ad vcrtis'niK columns that Mr D. F. Kvans will fell by pub.io auction on Wednesday next, at 12 o dock, at hia auction rooms, Qucen-atreet, the liiKlolon Kst.ite.
