In the House of Commons, with regard to the protectorate which it was proposed to establish over New (liiinca, Mr (Hailstone announced that the tciritory which would bo brought under tho Imperial jurisdiction would comprise that part of the roast to the eastward of that claimed by the Dutch (In vernment, and the south coast, but excluding certain portions on tlio north of the island, and also tho islands to tho east and north of New Guinea.

THE AMOROUS SALVATIONIST CAPTAIN.

His Checiuevod Career Dcs crihcil.

(JJY Tl-XECRAI'II— OWN" CORRKSr-ONLIE.VT.)

CIIKisTOHUKOII, this day. Tim story of "Captain " Boddingfield is by no means untinged with romance. He first camo to this colony about seven years ago, and went to the Waikato district, where he worked at his trade of compositor. During his residence there he was seized with rheu matic fever, and was laid up for a con siderable time. Then he moved to Napier, whore ho was unfortunate enough tc be seized atzain with the fever. After working through the North Island, moving from one printing ollice to another, ho determined, about live years ago, upon returning lo England, and in order to do this ho worked his passage before the mast. The induce ment for his trip was, that in consequence of the death of his father, he had become the possessor of a moderate sum of money, and, as a man of property, he of course felt justified in taking unto himself a wife. Tho lady upon whom his choice fell is under stood to havo been distantly related to him— a second cousin, we believe, lie camo out to New Zealand again, and at first settled in Napier, where his mother and some other of his relatives aro now living. Having worked at his trado for a considerable time in Napier, he went for a short period into the Government printing ollice, and in June 1882, came down to Clinst ehurch. Beddingfield was a Unitarian, and indeed his father was a minister of that persuasion. Ho seems to have been most respectably connected Ho claimed very close relationship with the late Win. Makepeace Thackeray, and there is no question that Thackeray used to cor respond with members of the family. Led dingfie'.d had one of those precious letters in his possession. While in London Bedding field indulged in I lie luxury of consultation with tho famous physician, Sir William Jenner. When a mere child, the terrible fright occasioned by the visitation of a burglar induced incipient heart disease, and the doublo attack of rheumatic lever in New Zealand converted the disease into an unmistakably dangerous one. So Sir William Jenner told him, and that tlio Dhysieian's warning was well founded was evidenced by tho fact that Beddingfield became subject to fits of unconsciousness, which caused his friends serious alarm. He was a general favourite with those who knew him, and everybody regarded him as a man of singular blamelessness—as a man of energy and earnestness of purpose. Three weeksaftorthe Salvation Army "openedlire in Christchurch, lie announced lust real conversion " by their agency, and about two months afterwards he joined their ranks. At that timo he was ono of tho night staff of compositors of one of the morning journals, and was earning good wageß, so that in throwing up his ordinary occupation he made a considerable pecu niary sacrifice. From the moment he joined tho Army his career w vory anxiously watched by some of his old com panions, and Ids apparently thorough devotedness to his new calling won their esteem. His character seemed so blame less, and his zeal was so marked, that he fairly jumped to tho rank of captain, and to the "Little Wondor " ho became a sort of wuardian. This guardianship, however, had its bitterness. Tho Sydenham folk, it is said, used sometimes to wag their heads with an air of wisdom, and hint that Bed dinefield and the "Little Wonder" were very fond of one another. As events have proved, the gossips wero right. Everybody feels sorry for Mrs Beddingfield, so heartlessly left with her two children. "She was." says ono who knew her very well, "a "ood, kind-hearted woman. The same informant adds:-"I thought more of Beddingfield than, of all tho restive seen with the Salvation Army. _ I behoved him to bo a strictly conscientious^ man It is understood to be due to a certain httle unpleasantness respecting Jho apparent " fondness " before spoken of, that Bedding field's scene of operations was changed from Christchurch to Ashburton, and ulti mately to Dunedin. A l'ress Association telegram from Dune din states that on the return of Major Poilard from Melbourne, the whole oflait will be made the subject of a strict inquiry, and in all probability the head-quarters of the staff will grant a small pension to Mis Beddingfield, and got the girl back. Loga force, if available, will not bo used, but the strongest moral persuasion will bo brought to boar on the couple to try to indtico them to return to their respective homes and friends.

(itV CAULK CllPYßllillT.)

London, August II

Mt KDoiit and McDonnell continued to maintain an excellent stand against the Kugli.-h bowling, and scored rapidly, not withstanding ficijiicnt changes of bowlers. The board showed '-'00, and they were still at the wickets, but shortly afterwards Mc- Donnell was caught when his score stood at 10)5. His innings alforded an excellent display of batting, and bo was loudly applauded on his retirement. Scott was tho next man, and proved an able partner to Murdoch, who was batting in grand form, Scott speedily collared the bowling, and aided Murdoch by further augmenting the score, which soon ran up to 300. An additional (i:l had been made when tiie stumps were drawn for the day, the score standing as follows :—Banner man, c, 4 ; McDonnell, c, 101! : Murdoch, not out, 145 : Scott, not out, 101 ; extras, 10 -. total for two wickets, :iti:i.

Continued line weather prevails, and tho attendance on the ground is enormous. The not-outs of yesterday, Murdoch and Scott, took their places at the wickets, and in the first over, Scott, after making one run, was caught, and the partnership, which had proved so successful, was dissolved. Scott retired with 102 to his credit, and was warmly cheered for bis splendid innings, tlill'en joined Murdoch, and for somo time runs continued to mount up rapidly, the South Australian being in good form and the captain batting most brilliantly and with perfect freedom. 400 was posted on the board, and Murdoch and Gitl'en were still at the wicket--; but before many more had beon added Gitl'en was caught after contributing a well-played .'l2. Homier was the next man in, but ho was tinable to make any stand, having only made S when ho was caught. I'lay wo* then suspended for luncheon, Murdoch's score standing at 190, not out. The score for 5 wickets is now 452.

Later.

London', August 12, ."> p.m. — After the luncheon adjournment Midwinter and Murdoch re-opened tho play, and as tlio former soon becamo set and the captain continued to punish the bowling the score mounted up rapidly. .Murdoch soon reached his second i-enturv, but, bad only addeil 1 1 when he was caught in the held. On returning to tho puvillion he was accorded a perfect ovation for bis re remarkable innings. Blackham joined Midwinter, and for somo time they remained partners. Huns con tinued to come freely, both men batting in good form. The board showed iioo, and they were still at the wickets, but before many inure had been scored Midwinter, who had by this time made ,'iii, was caught. Accord ing in latest telegrams from tho Oval, Blackham had been disposed of for.ll, being given out leg before wicket. The score now stands at ,"i3S for S wickoU.
