ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

[FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.]

London, February 28. Now Steamer for the P. & O. Company,

Messrs Caird and Co., of Grconock, have just turned out another splendid new steamer for the P, and 0. Company. She has been christened the Massilia, and is a steel vessel of tho gross tonnage of 5,000 —in fact, sister ship to the gorgeous Valetta, which started on her maiden voyage to Australia about ton days ago. The prin cipal dimensions ot' the Massilia are : — Length, 420 feet; breadth, 45 feet; and depth, 34 feet 0 inches. Messrs Caird have also two large steamers of 4,500 tons each in hand for the P. and O. Company, which are to be named the Tasmania and Chusen re spectively. General Notes.

Mr Horton, of the Auckland " Herald," arrived Home by the Cuzco about three weeks ago, and is living quietly down at Uxbridge. He has been very busy consult ing famous aurists about his little boy's deafness, which there now seems to be a hope of remedying. Mr Horton is going for a trip on the Continent next week in company with Mr Louis Nathan and a London friend.

I hear, on what should be good authority, Sir John Hall returns to New Zealand almost immediately, and that lie lias determined to re-enter political life. Vesey Stewart has not as yet received the papers from the New Zealand Govern ment for which he has waited so long and so patiently, but he tells me he has ob tained copies of certain letters from the Agent-General which he thinks will answer the same purpose and enable him to pro ceed with floating the Rotorua Railway Company immediately. If things go as well as Mr S. has now reason to expect they will, the whole business ought to be finished in the course of a coupleof months, and he himself at liberty to return to the colony by the s.s. Coptic in May. Mr Soward is a through nassenger for Dunedin by the s.s. Rome.saillng today. On inquiry at the office of the Orient Company (who are much more complaisant than they used to be to the representatives of the colonial press), I learn that there are no through passengers for New Zealand by the Cuzco.

Mr and Mrs Archie Clark are through passengers for Auckland by the P. and 0. steamer Rome, sailing this afternoon.

Mr and Mrs Robertson have booked for Wellington by the P. and O. steamer of March 13.

At the Criterion the other night, I met Mr Cole, who, with his alter ego, Hopkins, was so popular in Auckland society in 1880.

As a sign that colonial affairs are every day attracting more attention over here, I may mention that the "Economist" of Saturday last (February 23) contained an article descriptive and explanatory of the land laws of New Zealand.

Mr W. G. Cooley, who for upwards of 40 years has been associated with the great cutlery firm of Vickers, Sons and Co., of Sheffield, is about to proceed to Otago, N.Z., for the benefit of his health. The shareholders of the River Don Works have requested the directors to tender Mr Cooley some substantial recognition of his long and faithful services. " The Colonies and India " has been wax ing wroth over the fact that none of the London dailies considered the enunciations of the Agents-General of Viotoria, South Australia, New South Wales, and New Zealand on the subject of " Federation " worth reporting. Mr Edgar Bruce is said to be somewhat unhappy about his engagement with Miss Lingard. He retained the lady for a twelvemonth at the liberal salary of £50 a week, hoping to draw good houses with her. Unfortunately, he finds after some months experience that Miss L's popularity is on the wane rather that the increase. She haa not, as a matter of fact, advanced a step in her profession since she came to London, and her not liking this part or caring for that make her a most troublesome leading lady.

POSTSCRIPT.

London, February 28,

The s.B. British King (Captain Kelly) arrived at the Docka from Lyttelton yester day morning (February 27), having made the run home in the excellent time of 46 daya 11 hours. The British King left Lyttelton on 9th of January, arrived at Rio on the Ist of February, Madeira 18th of February, and at Plymouth the 25th of February. She brings 7,535 carcasei of mutton and 50 tone of butter, all in prime condition. The average temperature of the freezing chambers was 12 degrees Fahr., the lowestjreading during the voyage being 20 degrees Fahr., and the highest 25 degrees Fahr. On the 24th Fobruary, when GO miles S.S.W. of Ply mouth, the British King fell in with the steamer Gamma, from Alexandria to Hul', with a cargo of cotton seed, in a disabled condition, her propeller being broken and her hull leaking. The British King went alongside, and despite the heavy sea run ning, managed to get a hawser on board and tow her safely into Plymouth Sound.

Attached hereto I send an article entitled " At Smithfield with the Butchers," which appeared in the Pall Mall " Gazette " last night, and throws quite a new light on the disinclination of many London butchers to deal in New Zealand frozen mutton. Ao cording to Mr Stimpson (who should know as much about the matter as anyone living) the profits on a carcase ef frozen mutton are much smaller than on an English mutton carcase. Par exemple :Mr Stimpson pays £2 14s for a Scotch sheep, and sells it, cut up, for £3 Os 3d, the profits amounting to 6s 3d ; whereas, in the case of an average carcase of frozen mutton, he pays £114s 6d, sells it, cut up, for £1 19a 3d, and realises 4a 9d only.

At a meeting of the Council of the Royal Colonial Institute held on the 26th of February, the Hon. 6. Randall Johnson, M.L.C., and Mr Richard Laishley, of Auckland, were the only New Zealanders elected Fellows,

Captain Auld (late of the Famonoth) and his wife have booked passages for Auck land (whore they mean to settle down permanently) by the s.s. Aorangi in-March. As a sign of the slackness of the passen ger trado, it may be mentioned that the Gulf line are taking passengers to Mel bourne for twelve guineas only.

Mr Charles Palmer, a farmer with a grown-up family numberingseventeenln all, goes out to New Zealand by the Aorangi, and means to settle somewhere, cither in Otngo or Canterbury.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To tho Editor of Evening Star.) Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the efficacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from timo to time, expressions of gratitude from persons of known respectability, ODd having satisfied my self of tho genuineness of the cures effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving me. For tho past seven months I hava suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spito of the moat able treatment on the part of my medi cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and ray whole system very much reduced. Tho most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located in my left thigh, and the pain at times was moat excj relating. In Bpito of the most thorough applications, and the great oat care and attention on my part, ■ ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, tu. ». forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that time the pain began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each application afforded me relief. At first I re garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the cure was complete; but I have gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain-in fact, a man again. I must confess t'nat I tried the Oil in abso lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or four nights previously, and my syßtem was very low. The success, however. Is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever continue to rocommend it to every sufferer who comes within range of my influence What medical Bkill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard it as tae greatest boon of the age. I am, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, John Lee. Ajhbourne, Mudgee, November 12,1883.

MINING NEWS.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT,]

Thames, this day. London.—The manager has crushed the dirt on hand, when work was stepped, fo» the yield of 17iozs, gold.

The Winding Association and London and Mariner Companies are still at a stand still, awaiting instructions from Auckland Rocky Point.—The Adelaide reef at General Chute level has now come together but is small, though still showing gold freely. The flow of water in the dig is de creasing. Though at first thought to show the proximity of another reef, it is now thought to be merely the drainage of the country.

Colonist. — The manager telegraphed to-day: " Colonist amalgam, 4J days, 173 ounces. Silver in all boxes."

London. — The crushing of 12 loads yielded 16$ ounces gold.

SOCIAL GATHERING.

The employes of Messrs Garlick and Cran« well, furniture manufacturers and ware housemen, were on Saturday entertained by their employers in a fashion indicative of the utmost good-feeling; and the recipients of the treat enjoyed it in a way which pro mises the happiest results in a continuance of the excellent understanding which pre vails between tho firm and its workers. Tho factory and warehouse hands, with their wives and sweethearts, were driven out in four large coaches, each drawn by four horses, to Ferndale, Mount Albert, the resi dence of Mr Garlick, the senior partner in the business". A circuitous route was chosen, in order to see the country and enjoy tho exhilarating breeze, and, starting about 1.30 p.m., two hours were passed in a pleasant drive through Parnell, Remuera, and Ellerslie, and then by way of the Three Kings to Mount Albert. Theweather, though threatening, kept fair during that time, so that a pleasurable outing was enjoyed. Arrived at the beautiful residence and grounds of Mr Garlick, the excursionists, who numbered over 70, prepared to enjoy themselves at cricket, lawn tennis, and hildegarde—the latter being a new game resembling cricket and "rounders." The rain, however, now came down, and neces sitated an adjournment indoors just as the party were entering into the spirit of tho game. Indoor amusements beguiled away the time until the bell rang for dinner, when all eat down in the spacious sooial hall to a substantial repast catered by Mr Dallen, of the City Coffee Palace. The solid refreshments having been washed down by a variety of temperance beverages, Mr Garlick, who presided, proposed the loyal toasts, "Her Majesty the Queen"and "His Excellency the Governor," which were duly honoured. He next proposed " Our Co-Helpers in the Business," which he characterised as the toast of the evening. He said that the success of the firm had been to a great extent due to the good workmen they had in their factory, who turned out work such aa could not be produced from any other factory in Auck land, He also eulogised the salesmen as men thoroughly qualified to fill their positions, and concluded by counselling the appren tices to persevere, and get to the front giving reminiscences of his own career In order to stimulate exertion on their part. Mr Cranwell also spoke to the toast, in a practical speech, containing much sound advice to the youths especially. He re ferred to the fact that the relations between the firm and their workers had always been of the pleasantest description. The toast having been drunk, Mr Brown, accountant, and Mr Smith, foreman, returned thanks on behalf of the workers in neat and appropriate addresses. Mr Smith, be fore resuming his seat, proposed the toast of "Success to the Firm of Garlick and Cranwell," which was acknowledged by the two partners. After several other toats had been honoured, the evening was devoted to a musical entertainment, contributed for the greater part by the employes. The average of talent was very high indeed, and all en joyed themselves thoroughly. Mrs Cran well, Mrs Bell, and the Misses Cranwell and Garlick played the accompaniments, and gave pianoforte solos with much acceptance. About 10 p.m. the vehicles were again mounted, andaftergivingthreehearty cheers' for their kind entertainers, the party re turnedimfelytotown. The entire proceedings passed off most successfully, and the feoliing of all who participated was that a recur rence of the event would be hailed with tha liveliest feelings of pleasure.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

The New Shamrock Hotel.

One signal benefit that has accrued to this city from the operation of the Licensing Act is the erection of handsome and expensive modern hotels in place of the time-worn wooden edifices, unsightly and deficient in accommodation. During the past two or three years many tens of thousand* of pounds have been spent in this direction, and the appearance of the city, as well as the comfort of travellers, has benefitted thereby. The Shamrock Hotel, one of the last of the old wooden hotels in the city proper, is now doomed, and its place is to be filled with an edifice more worthy tha prominent site it occupies at the corner of Wellesley and Albert-streets. The new hotel will comprise three stories and a basement, and will have frontages of 33 feet to Wellesley.street, and 44 feet to Albert-street. The basement will be utilised for kitchen, cellars, and servants' rooms. The ground floor will be divided into bar, dining-room, and two sitting rooms, while the first and second floors will contain the sleeping accommodation. There will be twelve commodious bed-rooms and a bath-room on each floor. The fagadea will be in pressed brick, finished in Portland cement. Tenders, returnable on the 26th inst., are now being advertised for. .

I consider St. Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, but shall recom mend my friends to do so. "Yours truly, "W, P. Booth,' IT CONQUERS PAIN.
