Sunday Opening of Museums.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —What are the advantages and dis advantages cf opening art galleries and museums on Sunday? ? The arguments in favour of opening pictnre galleries and museums on Sundays are such as these: — (1) That Sunday is the only day upon which many of our poorer people have time to cultivate their minds and taste. ("2) That these places would form a successful counter-attraction to the public-houses, and while tho public houses are closed on Sundays, would form an elevating substitute, (3) That the change would tend to introduce a refining clement into our lower classes, which would gradually lift them socially and morally; and would probably result in preparing their natures for higher Icsojih of religion. The objections are thsse : - (1) That in all these places attendants would require to be' kept at work, and thus the promotion of one man's recreation would be deprivation of his fellow's day of rest. (2) That the mere opening of museums would not create refined taste any more than tho opening of churches of necessity draws out religious feeling. (3) That the class thought of working people who at present frequent public-houses are not likely to have any taste for flucli places as museums, &o. (4) That people, more or less indifferent to religion, who are yet in the habit of going to a place of worship, would bo drawn away from it. were such temptations put in their way. (ii) That nhno-st every argument which favours the opening of museums and gal leries favours also the opening of theatres md concert rooms; and (fi) lint tho open ing of the former would certainly, in due course, load to tho opening of the lattor.- lam, &c, C.W. (To the Editor.) DitATi Silt, —"Muscu" takes exception to the clergy objecting to the Museum being opened on the Sabbath day ; but " Museo" xiiould bear in mind that the clergy have been educated for ■ their own pro fession, and that they cannot act eon -i^tently wit Ii the education they have had .without opposing sue!) a proposal Tho proper parties to appeal to are our legislators, who are to a great extent un trammelled by prejudices which have oxisted tor over a thousand years. A clergyman is bound to one particular course, but a legis lator is not, and he can read the grand old iiible according to its truo meaning, i c.,' that tho Almighty made tho world in six days, and-on the seventh "he rested from ill his work," but this term—rest — appears to be misunderstood. The Biblo says we are all t-ons of Hod, and this fact should certainly give us lib erty in all humility to think the matter out, 'md arrive at the conclusion that without any reference to thousand-year-old dogmas, we should get at tho natural meaning ofthe text, i.e., that the Almighty had done a car tain work, then •looked at it, and round "that it was all good." But surely it cannot mean that this great universe was not under the supervision )f tho great ' Architect and Creator Well, sir, in my clumsy way thi3 is what I iin trying to get at—that men may look at ■vorks of art on the Sabbath, and co nt an immeasurable distance imitate Almighty 'Jod, our great Father and tho Architect of he Universe, who looked at his work on ho seventh day, and "it was all ,'ood." I write this in the interest of our •oinmon humanity, and in tho hope that it nay tend, if ever ho little, to tho public ,'ood. —Yours respectfully, W. Bakkk.

North Island Trunk Railway.

(To the Editor.)

in:,—Tn all the noi=c now being made in lio battle of the routes, one important mint seems io be almost lost sight of. Mr Mitohelfon, in one of his speeches in his late Section tour, paid that if the land alonji :ho route of railway was properly dealt with — bought at fair value now, sold it fair value to boiltl fide settlers after railway was made—thcbalanco would be ■uliicicnt to make not one railway only, but wo. Now, if this be truo (and Mr Mitchel 'On is far too prudent a man to speak rashly hi such a subject), why, here is the true •olution of tho diliiculty. Tho undertaking, chough large, i« very simple, and wo can ,-cry well go in for the central routs md the branch to Strptford as well. On the same principle tho railway north of Auckland can be pushed on, not only to the Bay of Islands, but very toon from Opua through the ri.-ing district of Okaihau, on :hrou^h tho Victoria Valley to MangOnui. If out South Island friends can work on the •ainc principle, wo shall rejoice in their

prosperity.—l am, &c,

Mr Brabazon and the Board.

(To the Editor.) Sir., —As the Board's regulations prohibit teachers from inserting in the public press mything relating to school matters, I think it only fair that I should now write what I •ould not do then. In the h'rst place, Mr I. M. Clark gueseed aright when he stated chat he thought animosity towards me was it tho bottom of J. W. Carr's action. But be it known to him, and his brother in particular, and to the others who .ent their hands to aid and assist these nefarious designs, that they have accom nlithcd no more than I intended to do :or myself, having made up my mind :o retire from teaching altogether at Christmas on account of failing health. _)ur Education Act will not be perfect until persons likely to gain pecuniarily will be prohibited fioin becoming members of Com nittee or the Board. The letters I have re eived from parents, and tho conversational renaiks made by them, all tend to show mo that the public generally are we'l iware that on unjust and un- English proceeding has taken place, worthy only of the Spanish Inquisition, whon persons were condemned -unheurd. 1 make one closing remark on the Com. mittee's meeting published in Saturday's " Herald," where it is insinuated that the teachers and I did not work harmoniously together. I givo that and their other baso fabrications an unqualified deoial.—l am, &c, J. Brabazon. October 13th, ISS4.

Apportionment of the Sinking Fund.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, — Your correspondent " Auckland Baby " has fallen into one or two curious errors in his statemont re the Sinking Fund. VVhilo regretting with him that this method of reducing our debt shbuld be abolished, I cannot soo that as a province Auckland is any worse oif than before, as if she had not received her share of borrowed money, she has naturally bceu paying interest on principal never received, and bcr position can noithcr be improved nor otherwise by tho doing away with a Sinking Fund, Secondly, he assumes that tho money lent to various public bodies on the West Coast— Hawera, Patea, and Waitara—havo been supplied from the public chest. In reality it is borrowed from the Public Trustee, from money in his hands for 'invest ment, interest is paid on it, aud prevision is being made for the repayment of tho capital. The value of the sccuiity may bo open to question, but that in no way affects tho bona Jules of the transaction as an investmentof surplus funds in colonial work?. It is a mistake, too, to base any calculation as to Hawera and Patea upon New Plymouth Customs duties, as, until the opening of the railwny some two yeai> ago, Hawei a certainly did not get more than 5 per cent, of her requirements through either Now Plymouth or Waitara, a;id I much doubt whether Patca does now. Thoir trade has hitherto been mainly trans acted with Wellington, and has helped to swell the Customs receipts of that port. In conclusion, allow mo to thank "Auckland Baby " for having tried to'stir public interest in the financial policy of our Government. The only cure lor evils in tho shape of Sir Julius Vogcl and his policy is an intelligent interest taken by tho taxpayers.—l am, yours, &c, S. Quay.

To His Worship the Mayor of Auckland.

(By favour o[ the Editor of the Si'AR.) Sin.—Before h-nving Auckland for another pan of the colony, I feel n 10 he my duty to in- ntion 1o yourself, as tin: rin>ioßenl.->tivi; of Uio Cily of Auckland, swiiu of the abuses which oami under my otoervnMbn while I was detained a piisoucr, under a charge of lunacy, at the Avon dale Asylum,

First, as being of paramount importance, I would respoctfully siiggest that a. committee should be appointed to to i\t stated thneß to ihe Asylum, in order to test in a searching manner the mental capacity r.f any who may be bup poscd or alleged' to bo wrongfully detained in that instiiution. Tho writer, eir, had a good cprortur.i'y of dt coyerinu that feveral men are prisoners, and it is believed that moro than ono woman also is there, who should he liberated. Nothing but a strong sonse of duty impels me to brine this subject under the notice of your Worship. A casual visitor has little chance uf knowing the truth. I tow fearlessly aaseit that during my own four months'probation 1 became acquainted with men ot inttllifrincc, for whoso un]iapi>y position 1 think, Mr Wuililel, you will feel grout sympathy. I was told more than oiiu of these went tl.cre sulfoiing fiom I he effects of alcoholic liquor, and becausa lo (jursou takes an intcrefct in their liberty, they lire allowed to remain, and by tho lapse o£ tit"" itn> almost forgotten.

It is not omy what I have seen myself, sir; other* uro oontir.ual)y bringtog under iiy notice some case like these Of Which I BIU

I writing. Even If there were <io truth In. t*frt» once to tho forcible detention of intelligent men and women, UiL-re is ret quite suffloleiit rcaSiqa for ih« appointment of a committee of Innulrf. With no disrespect to Or. Young, I think, tir, thnt, 10 i much responsibility reijts Upon 019 Hidivi uitl to be entrustrcl with tho liberty ol so many men unrt worner. ll is known thattliero is a nre.it differed.1 Indisposition and character among nuiikinrt, so Unit what would upimur to be iiia'.!n<:«sß in one may it' the disposition b« thoroughly understood, be no more thau eccen tricity in another. Of Ihis. s.t nil events. Inm thoroughly cot.vincfid, thnt at the- VVhau Asylum are men who may be remarkably ccenn trie, but urn by no means insane, or yet lunatic. I spent the whole of my time., sir, while in the Asylum (myself resting under an unjust ohnrgo of insanity) in Biadylnjt this question in ail ils bar'.ncs, and have no doubt in my own mind thnt I have discovorcd tho cause of the malady to be unrestrained licentiousness as a family failing. Tho misery Which was endured by myself, Bir. makes me fet remember others whoaiostiilpiisonois, nnd hope Mint I nviy Ret a chance toprovotho tnth of my assertions. Anyway, it takes a load off my mind to throw the onus upon your Wor ship. Them are a! .■> Hi'wsiions of improve ments which may be mule in many of the arramjenicnu, as w ; ;il as <n the defective architecture i f the building.'. Kor in stance, the exerei-o yard is entirely ox poeed to the south ■ wrst wind, which in wlutcristhccauseofmuih unn/cessarydimresa. Another matior 1 wouki mention is the nhnme ful waste cf valuable icwerace, which instead of enriching the poverty-s rlc;<cn burrouudiug country, is allowed to )«!!_te the Wuitemata Harbour. It would make thi* letter too long to writ) of half tho nltu\,tions time miifht ho BURgeated, but it in my mc ntiou .1 \on will {,'iyo me an opportunity to suea!: of these maitera in private. Thoro aro some abuses indeed in our Lunatic Asylum of a nature S'j horrible that I could hardly force mj self to put. my ideas on paper. A uival responsibility rests upon you, sir, In common with other Aucklandorg. if 3 ou neglect to make Inquiries into tha pa!nfui Bubiect which t liave brought under your notice.
