THE SUEZ MAIL

London, December 21. Low) Wolselki', addressing tho Volunteers in St. James's Hall, observed that overy nation in Europe was arming, and that most sonsible people believed this fact to indicate that there was coming ovor tho world somo torriblc war, and that England should be prepared for that timo of trouble.

Tlie Right Hon. John Bright, in a speech Lo the Howarth Liberals, spoke in an anxious tone regarding foreign affairs, and thought tho outlook gloomy. The projected visit of the Crown Prince of Germany to P.ome is causing a deep sensation, and is universally considered as a most important political event. The Prince will lodgo at the Palace of tho Quiiinnl, his first visit being due to King Humbert, but ho will visit the Pope during his stay in Rome. The visit is regarded as another move in Bismarck's policy of grouping all the monarchical and conservative forces against Franco, and it is observed that just wiien Germany gives proof of a sincere desire for reconciliation with the Vatican, the French Government and the Chambers continue their i>etty persecutions against tho Catholic Church, which may possibly bring about a complete rupture. Salvationists at Hastings. A ease whicli excited considerable interest in the town, and occupied the magistrates several hours in investigating, has been brought before the Hastings Bench, the police being the complainant., and " Major" Smith, "Captain" Benttio, and another member of tho Salvation Army, being the defendants. Tho charge was to tho effect that on a recent Sunday the defendants were engaged with others praying, singing, und using musical instruments upon the beach, and that nt the close of their service there they marched in pro cessional order through Ihe streets to thoir place of worship, one of them at tho same timo blowing a cornet, nnd the others sing ing ; that irr this way thoy were joined by about 500 persons, and the disorder in the streets becamo very groat. The defence was that tho members of tho Army had mado no disturbance whatever, and tho tur bulence was owing to the number of persona who joined in tho procession simply with tho view of interrupting it. The magistrates itillictod on oach defendant a fino of Is and costs. Notico of appeal was given. An Irish Murdor Trio. At Dublin Assizes Peter Wade was in dicted for the wilful murder of Patrick Quinn near Rathfarnham. Somo ill-feeling had existed betweon tho parties, and on tho night of November 27th tho prisoner called at Quinn . houso and induced him to go out, on the protenco that a gentleman was waiting for him. Shortly afterwards screams woro h.nrd, and Quinn was subse quently found lying dead in a lano with shocking wounds on tho head. The .pris oner whon arrested next morning had shaved off his moustache, and thoro wero blood Btains on his clothes. A statement mado in prison implicating several other persons in tho murder wn. rood, but Chief Justice Muy would not allow it to bo used in ovlclonce. Affairs In tho Soudan. Tho latest nows from Khartoum states that the Mahdi is now almost without followers, ho having lost many men in tho series of engagements with Hicks Pasha, and several of the insurgent tribes have left him to return home. On this account, tho Mahdi had great difficulty in organising tho expeditions of 10,000 men each, which he contemplated sending to tho province of Dnrfour and against the Kabbabi. .1 tribes. Baker Pasha leaves Cairo for Suakiin to' day. Ho will havo the chief command of Ihe Soudan expedition. The force consists of 'J.'IOO gendarmes, 1,500 of whom arc horsemen, 1,500 black troops, and 4,000 Bedouins, with 3 mitrailleuses, anil Colonel Sartorious commands the gendarmerie, Teber Pashn the black troops and ono-half of the Bedouins, while the other half, under Hussein Pashn, will go up tho Nile, and join Baker Pasha botwoen Suakiin and Boithcr.

Baker Pasha's departure has been! hastened by the news which is to hand of ' another Egyptian reverse. Seven hundred Egyptian troops, while engaged rccon noitering on tho stli December near Suakim, with the objoct of relieving tho garrison at Sinkat, wero attacked by a large force of in surgenthill mon,and oomplotoly annihilated after severe fighting. Tho hill tribes sub sequently advanced closo to Suakiin, which placo they now threaten, though they nro kept off to somo oxtent by tho gunboat Ranger, which lives rockets upon them over tho town. National Trlbuto to Mr Parnoll. Dublin-, December 11.—A banquet was given on tho evening of tho llth December in tho Rotunda, Dublin, to Mr Parnoll, which was attended by persons from all parts of Ireland and Great Britain, as well as tho moro distant places. Five hundred and eighty tickets wore sold. Great pre cautions wero taken to prevent any other persons than members of the National r Leoeuo from entering the Rotunda. Tlie Lord Mayor prosided, and tho room was crowdod. Mr Davitt, in response to tho toast of Ireland, a Nation, said that, led by Mr Parnell, they might believo themselves on tho threshhold of heralding in an Irish nation. Tho Lord Mayor (Mr Dawson) road an addi*oSß to Mr Parnell. Mr Parnoll, who was. cheored for several minutes on rising, referred to the formation of the Land League, and said ;—Never was thoro a movement formed to combat such a system of robbery and fraud) ii. carrying—e'J&i *ffii.cTT t!.u._ -,ta_. so muoh moderation displayod and such an absonco of crime. Thoro wero 30,000 soldiers and 15,000 police in Ireland; tho law of habeas corpus had been repeatedly violated, the most significant example being whon thousands of Irishmen were imprisoned by Buckshot Forstor. If Liberals wished tho Irish to co-operato with them thero must bo no moro coercion. We regard any system of emigration wo had yet had in Ireland as a murderous blow against tho lifo of our nation, being ncoompanied by untold gu Ablings on the part of victims. Three fourths of tho emigrants from Ireland during tho last year or two had been compelled to find homes in miserablo garrets in Now York, Boston, and Montronl, Tho proceedings of Luke's committeo stand oxposod as an mdecont attempt to assist the Govornment to get quit of the Irish difficulty by getting quit of thelrish people. If we aro to bo emigrated or coerced, we prefer to havo tho dose administered by Tories, rather than by thoso wolves in sheep's clothing, tho Whigs. Tho presont Irish Executive is characterised by greater meanness and incapacity than any predecessor. Earl Spencor canto to Ireland as a sort of bottlo-holder to Forster. We aro not surprised that Spencer should,do his best to imitate tho biggest coorcionist who ever came to Ireland, and that ho should desire to givo full play to the unbridled insults and passions of'a; foreign garrison in Ireland. Trevelyan's ' greatest ambition is to prevent everybody | from doing what ho has a legal right ' to do. The instances arc the imprison ment of Harrington, tho seizure of the : "Kerry Sentinel," tho arrest of tho editor, '. and suppression of tho national meetings ' in tho north. Our rulers' want of common honostyi permits Harrington to remain ! in prison for an ofTonco of whicli the ' men in Dublin all know he is innocent. I All our experience of English dealings in ! Ireland results in the conclusion that the English are always willing to omploy force j to the fullest oxtent against the masses of r tho people. With regard to the question I of including Ireland in the extension of tho I franchise, our position is a strong and run'-1 ning one. Whether Ireland is included or not, we shall return about SO members to. ' tho noxt election, Although our present progress is slow, wo are adding to tho I impetus given to the national cause in the I days of the great league movement, j We must be patient if we wish to win. Coercion cannot last for ever, j It is oertain that it rests with Irishmen to ! determine at the noxt general election : whether a Liboral or a Tory Government shall rule Ireland. This is a great point. I If wo cannot rule ourselves, wo can causo ■England to be ruled as wo chooso. Wo are determined this generation shall not pats away until it has bequeathed those who come after us tho great right of national independence and prosperity. At the closo of Mr Parnoll's speech, he was greeted with great cheering. Mr Dawson then presented Mr Parnell with a cheque for t:_>,ooo as a national tribute, j

The native reserves in New Zoaland amount to 1,573,285 acros, and their e.sti- ' mated value is £2,050,000. This is exclu sive of the millions of acres owned by ' natives (in tho Auckland province chiofly), ! and. which have not yet passed through the . Land Court. Only 130,000 acres of the ' native reserves are in tho South Island, | "When I grow up I'll be a man, won't I?" asked a little boy of his mother. " Yes, ' my son; but If you want to be a man you must be industrious at school, and learn how to behave yourself." " Why, mamma, do the lazy boys turn out to bo women when they grow up ?"

MERCURY BAY TIMBER COM PANY.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The annual meeting of shareholders in the Mercury Bay Sawmill Company was held yes terday afternoon, Mr J). H. McKcnzle presiding. Directors' Report.—Tho report showed that 'the mill had been In full operation during the year, and that besides tho timber shipped, largo additions had been made to the Btock in the yard. Net profits had not equalled expectations expressed at last meeting; but in view of low prices in Australian markets and other aa verse circumstances, they might be considered satisfactory. A large sum now stands to credit of profit and loss account, the increase in the value of the shareholders pro perty from profits being equal to is 4d per share. The directors have not thought it desirable to recommend the payment of a dividend, con sidering it more prudont to reduce the liabilities of the Company, and have a larger free capital before commencing the paymont of steady dividends. They believe the shareholders will support them in this policy. Messrs Buchanan and McKenzio, directors, retire, and an auditor Will also require to be elected. Profit and Loss Account.—This statement for the half-year showed the profit on timber and stores to have been £6,40: 7s Gd; commission, £136 183 (Id ; rents and foep, £11 2s Cd; making a total with balance from last half-year (£7.812 ids 8d) of £13,183 5s '_!. The expenditure eon sistcd of salaries and other expenses, £1,989 8s ; bad debts und gratuity to workmen, £138 lis ; depreelation, £177 Us Ski; leaving a balance to the account of £10,879 Us. 1. Balance-sheet.—This showed : — Dr.: lo capital, .17,187 10s ; hills payable, £3,015 0s Cd; outstanding pay orders, £351 10s Ud; sundry creditors, £2r,51G 13s 2d; profit and loss account, £19,879 lis (id: tolul, £72,28. ._ 7d. -Cr.: Forest, mills, _c., £30,8(12; logs und limber, £.15,811 2a Id; doubtful and bad debts. £1,67- 7s 7d ; sundries, £1,11)0 odd : t0ta1,£72,283557(1. Thereportandfinancialstatc ments were adopted on tlie motion of.tlie Chair man. In hisspeech, theChainnansald tho prico of timber bad been much lower than last year, while the wages had never ruled higher. How ever, thoy hoped to work with less oxpense this half-year.. Considerable outlay had been in, volved in change of tho site of tho mill- In reply to Mr Vines, Mr J. M. Clark stated that, the net profit for the half-year was £3.000 odd, or about 10 or 17 per cent, on the capital in vested. A dividend could not be recommended owing lo tbe largo liabilities contracted for im provements in machinery, and the fact that at lire beginning of the year there was no dressed timber stock on hand. By paying no dividend now. it was expected that for the future they would bn able to pay divi dends and reduce the debt by £2 000 per annum. —Mr Peacock pointed out that they had £10,000 accumulated profits, and this would havo been paid in dividends if the shareholders had at first provided the capital. Officers.—Messrs D. 11. McKenzlo and John Buchanan wero ro-elected dircetors, and Mr J. Weymouth appointed auditor. Extraordinary Meeting.—This was held subsequently, when it was agreed that tho 1 capital of tho Company bo Increased from £50,000 to £100,000 by the Issue of 50,000 shares of £1 each. It was stated that there was no imme diate intention of placing these shares on tho market. Previous rules were rescinded, and a new copy of rules and regulations adopted.—On the motion of Mr Kecsing, seconded by Mr J. B. ' Graham, a vote of thanks was carried to the i Chairman, directors, and Mr B. Gilmer, Secre • tary,

THE AUCKLAND GAS COMPANY.

At tho annual meeting of the Gas Company yesterday, the Chairman, in moving the adoption of tlie report and balance-sheet, said that he could not compliment the share holders upon large attendances at the meet ings, but he could congratulate them that there was no fault or blameworthiness on tho port of the management, which would call for large meetings. The business of tho Company was being successfully and prosperously carried on, while the gas manufactured was being supplied as cheaply as possible. The proposed inorease of capital was for the purpose of anticipating the requirements of the next five years. During tho lnsttwoor threeyearstheannual consumption had more than doubled, and a similar ratio of increase might he ex pected during tho next rive years. The Devonport supplies had not yet come up to expectations, but it was as yet premature to pass judgment. It had always been the policy of the Company to extend its gas supplies to rising districts as soon as their needs warranted tho enterprise. Mr R. Keir seconded the motion.

Mr Peacock thought it inadvisable to abolish the preferential rates for gas in now districts.

The Chairman replied that the revenue from this source was inconsiderable, and the directors had concluded that it was un necessary to continue the rates.

The motion was then passed. Tho balance-sheet submitted was as foi lows :—
