Pauri fceAmohau gave a song of wel come, after which Henare Pukuatua said :— Welcome Governor, I am clad to see yon visit the tribes of the Arawa, for they have always been loyal to the Queen. We have no fault to find with the Gover nors of the colony, but with your Minis-, ters we have many complaints regarding ° Nfrahuruhuru said : Welcome, Governor, to our tribe, which haa always been loyal to the Queen. - Paura t« Amohau said: There is one thine we wish you to inquire into. The Ministers are driving off tho Europeans we have placed hero. We do not wish it. Mr Graham haa been here for many years, and he haa been our father. When wo were in trouble he helped us. We have repeatedly applied to the Government for assistance when we were starving, but got none ; but when wo applied to Mr Graham we never applied in vain. Therefore, it is our wish that he should remain at To Rautu on the land given to him by us. Do not drive Mr Kelly off Pukekura, or Mr Taylor away from this place; that is our , ■wish that these Europeans remain on the lands we have given them. Now, oh Governor, inquire into this matter and carry out our wishes. Petera Pukuatua said: Welcome, Gover tior, there are many tkings that grieve us;, I will write them down and oek you to in quire into them. Other chiefs spoke of welcome, after •which Mr Graham presented and read an address from tho European inhabitants of Ohinemutu. The Governor replied in a most appropriate and excellent speech, and then unveiled the bust of the Queen, and spoke of the excellent qualities of Her Majesty and her groat love for all her sub jects of every race. Three cheers were given for tho Queen, three for the Governor and Lady Jervois, after which the Governor asked for three cheers for the Arawas. This ended a most satisfactory meeting.

THE SUEZ MAIL.

OUR LONDON LETTER

London*, Fsbruary 8. At the.time of writing last week wo were unaware how seriously the great failure of Messrs Thomas and Co. would affect some of, the Australian interests. I allude espe cially to the London Chartered Bank of Australia, which, as yo.U will have learnt by telegram, has last upwards of one hun dred and twenty thousand poundsintheform of securities, which loss the directors have decided to meet put of the reserve fund. At the very time that I was despatching my correspondence last week ? the directors of this institution were holding a meeting, at which they were considering how best to meet the losses caused to them by the f raude and defalcations of Mr E. P. Blakeway. Tho effect of this disaster upon tho shares of the bank had been rather serious, in asmuch aa they have gone down something like four in the course of a week. It is a little unfortunate for tho directorate of the institution that it should be possible to twit them with an inconsis tency between their language and their actions. Your readers will remember the extraordinary discoveries which were made in tho Warden and AVatters case about the carelessness with which the securities of the

London and River Plato Bank were kept. At that time the chairman (Mr Henriques) in formedhis shareholders thatit tvas the duty of every director to see that the securities for which ho was virtually responsible were safe, and that by the system of weekly examination, which they had Inaugurated, the London Chartered Bank of Australia would bn free from the dreadful occurrences thon beforo the public. The auditors also, Messers Morrison and Botley, joined in the general glorification of "our noble selves," and assured the shareholders that they took nothing on trust which could be veri fied, but examined both gfcjurities ami cash. The revelations of the past week, however, are not unnaturally regarded as throwing ft little doubt upon the accuracy of these statements.

I montioned last week that the idea of obtaining gold from the Transvaal was al most Exploded, and that Baron Grant's scheme for promoting gold mines in that quarter of thfc globe had beou somewhat abruptly checked. I alluded in a previous letter to the at tempt on tho part of Mr Howard Vincent, the Director of Criminal Investigations, to pat down the gambling clubs which aro so common in Pall Mall. Tho test case, that of tho Park Club, has resulted in a conviction, against which an appeal haa been lodged. Moanwhilo wohave hadfurther revelations of the extent to which gambling prevails amongst us, for in tho course of tho past week wo have behold tho unusual spectacle of the secretary of a whist club suing the Secretary of tho Mendicity Society for the sum of £218, alleged to have been paid by tho former to the successful opponents of tho latter at cards. It iB an unpleasant confession to havo to make, but it cannot be denied that at no timo in tho history of London has gambling boon more prevalent than it is just at present-. The evidence produced a Bow-street clearly fhowod that in places like tho Pnrk Club fortunes can bo lost as easily as nt Monte Carlo nt the present time, or at Homburg in the days gone by. The counsel for tho defence made tho assertion that he was familiar with the inside of club whore any night Judges of the land and tho highest dignitaries in tho Church could be Been staking their guineas and half-guineas upon points at Whist.' The evi dence conclusively shotted that baccarat Is as much a game of chance as pitch and toss, and ono of the witnesses who was at tempting to prove that a " punter " had tho advantage of a eartljts or unskilful bnnW'> and naively admitted that ho would rather bo banker than punter, "because if ho had any luck at all ho should win money much fafter."

During this week I regret to say that somo most disgraceful sconos have been, and possibly aro being at the time of writing, enacted on the Sussex coast. Tho wreckage of tho ship Simla, which on her voyage to sydnoy was run down in the Channel by the Imcknow, which was rotutnj ing from Adelaide, is being washed ashore near to Brighton. Among tho flotsam and jetsom wore several casks of alo, cognac, rum, whisky, and gin, and quantities of brandy in bottles which the straw round them saved from breaking. All the Bcum of Brighton rapidly got scent" of this phindor, and nil tho week groups of mon» womon, and boys havo boon rolling or lying about tho beach helplessly drunk, and nw or two have actualiv Hn.i>- «~mseivesto f V>*!>. IB some parts the people, not Con tent with pocketing bottles of brandy, broko open some thirty-gallon casks and drank out of their hats. One correspondent says that when ho wont down a day or two ago ho saw soveral peoplo absolutely mad from drink ; some were lying down unab'S to move, others wero crawling on .thoir stomachs up to the casks trying to K<"t another drink; others, who weio vninly striving to walk home, kept falling ott the sharp seinglo cutting thoir heads and faces, and were streaming with blood. The police appear to have been unable to do anything with a crowd of several hundred roughs, and as it has pleased the Admirality re cently to reduce the number of coastguard aiong that part of the coast, the latter have been as helpless as tho police. Mr George la the Pulpit. Mr Henry George occupied the pulpit of Rev. David Macrae, Dundee, on February 3, and delivered what is described as "a powerful lecture on Moses and the Mosaic institutions" to a congregation of more than 2,000 persons. Many otheri were unable to gam admittance. The lecturer said that the ignoring of the spirit flf the Mo3aic institutions was the cause of the misery and unrest of the present day. Mr Macrae followed with an earnest appeal to his congregation te give their best thought and endeavour to a re form of the iniquitous land system now es tablished by law. Outcast London. A whole family was discovered at Poplar on Saturday, February 2, in v starving con dition. Dr. Pitt, one Of the relieving officers of the Poplar district, went in company with Di\ Coiner, the medical ofßcer of health, to tho houee, which is one of a batch lately condemned and closed by tho Metropolitan Board of Works as being unfit for human habita tion. Upon entering a room they taw crowded rouad & few handfula of hot ashes on the atovelesa hearth, a Jwoman and h«r three children—two girls and a boy, the eldest being apparently about twelve, and the youngest six ye&fs of age, the boy, a cripple, tying with his head in hi« mothers lap* The children wevein o most shocking condition, and BkO8 k O weak andemaci ated as to be ffearcety able to move. Not a particle of food could be found in the place, while the only article of1 furaitUre was a broken-down iron bedstead. Tbß stench in the room was .very bad, And seemed enough to poisron any one entering from the fresh ftir. The woman said that her husband was \yiag ill in the infirmary.; They were at once removed to the work house.

_llliards.-An EirtKWSaihary Break.

In a billiard tournament now in progress at Birmingham, J. Roberts performed on February 1 a feat which is said to be unique in tho records of billiard-playing. His opponent, Shorter, started with a miss in baulk, Roberts then giving the* usual misa befow the middle pocket, under the righthand cushion. Shorter essaying a hazard from this failed to score, aad never had another opportunity of doing 60 in the game, as the champion ran right out with the extraordinary break of 602 u nfinished, made in exactly 274mins. Start ing with a canon; he made 13 by all-round play, and got into position for the spot stroke, and there he stayed till he had com piled this remarkable break, pocketing the red ball no less than 196 times. When he had made 426 his ball ran a little above the spot, and ho then played all round the table for position, whioh he obtained with won derful accuracy. .

MEETING OF CREDITORS OF MR LIONEL PHILIPS.

A meeting of ths creditors of Mr Lionel Phillips, wine merchant, was held this after noon, at three o'clock. There was a large number of gentlemen more or less interested present. The expenses for house and office appeared to be about £21 per week from the time ho began business. Mr A. H. Nathan said there was considerable dissatis faction outside in the city. The debtor appeared to lose in aenp, and some creditors seemed to think this was a species of gambling for a business man. Mr Nathan saiH that fortheninemonths Mr Philhpsliad had beenfin business £900 seemed to have been lost or about £100 per month, and this amount was exclusive of any sup posed profits on the business. It was finally proposed and earned that Mr. Bennett, certificated accountant, be em ployed to "o through the books and tiff whole estate, and report to a meet^ ver Friday. Mi Phillips seeme^tiim, and clearly any questions JMJrs all he could, promised to aid thoyeSred for the debtor,- Mr Braesto^fo^?, but wished to assign nß^«e'estate for liquidation. ,

THE PONSONBY FIRE.

Coroner's Inquest,

A coitoNtAt, inquiry into the circumstaiiceg 1 cohneotetl wfth the recent fire itt the pre mises of Mr W. 0. Allen; Jervols Road, wai held this afternoon by Dr. Philson, at the Porisonby Club Hotel. Mr J. H. Swatles was chosen foreman of the jury. Detective T\vohey and Constable Collins represented the police. Mr Malcolm J. Smith appeared on behalf of tho Now Zealand Insurance Compariy, Mr Stevenson for the TJnloh Com' jpatiy, and Mr Clark for tKe South British. The jury having viewed tho scene of the late fire, Detective Twohey Btated that Mr Bishop) one of the most important witnesses wag at present at Tauranga. When Mr Bishop went out, after the alarm Was given, he met p in the passage a man who said he had been trying to knack up the people in the house for about half-an-hour. He had since been told that the man had made no effort to arouse the people. In reply to the Coroner, Dotective TwO hey said he did not know if Mr Bishop could identify the man.

The Coronor said in that case his evi dence would not be worth much, but he was surprised that if his evidence was cOu sidered of so much value he was hot detained here.

The detective replied that it was only within the last forty-oight hours' that he knew the inquest was to be held. W. F, WiUmott, the first witness submitted a plan of the premlass destroyed, which had been done at the request of the police. The building was very nearly completed. There was no rubbish lying about when he was last there prior to the fire. All the shavings were cleared from the upper part by witness and a painter, while a young man named Huynes cleared the lower part. He was lost in the building nbont four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, 15th inst., at 4 o'clock. The value of the whole building was about £60D. Ho believed the. fire originated somewhere in the back of Allen's building) more in Hyauison's direction than any other way. Ho could not offer any theory to account for the origin of the fire. He had no interest in the building, but had lost all his tools in the (ire.

In reply to Mr Swales, witness said he 1 did not believe any shavings woro ever taken from under the building. The Bhavings from the interior were only re moved to a distance of about. 4 feot from tho building into the yard. Wm. George Allen gavo evidence to the effect that on the night prevfouß to the fire he slept at his residence in Clarence-street, Peneonby, which is five or seven minutes' walk from his shop in Jervois Road, whore the iiro was supposed to havo originated. Ho waß tho ownor of tho building destroyed, which was so nearly completed that he was to go into it last Wednesday. It Would cost £730 or £740 to replace the building. His insurance upon it was only £600, £200 being in tho South British and £400 in i,\m Now Zealand office Ho aIBO owned a five-roomed cottage adjoining the shop, which was also doatroyod. It was worth about £275, and insured for £200 in the South British office. A stable and work shop belonging to him also wore burnt down, but those wore not insured. They wero worth about £50. Anothor of his coUagoa in the occupation of Mr Bishop was charred. He estimated tho damage to it at £30, but accepted £27 10s from the South British Insurance Company. His total insurahco was £1,000, but ho had yet to receive £800. His loss over and above insurance Was about £200, leaving out a loss of i' 4 a week for rent. (Left sitting.)
