PRE-SESSIONAL ADRESS.

Mr F. J. Moss at Newmarket,

Mk F. J. Moss met a number of his con stituents at the Newmarket Hall last even ing. Thore woro sevonty or eighty persons present. Mr F. G. Clayton was voted to tho chair. In commencing his address, Mr Moss said ho believed this was the first time that a member for the district had called a meeting of his constituents, except at election time, in Newmarket. It had been customary to hold one meeting for tho whole district in the Parncll Hall, but the district had grown to such an ex tent that lie had determined to hold the present meeting in Newmarket. He trusted that this would be but the first of such meetings. Mr Moss proceeded to say that, ho had exhausted a great deal of what he originally had to say at the previous meeting, but there was still a great deal to speak about in reference to several largo questions which were likely to come shortly before the country. He believed that there would bo a dissolution very shortly, and that the members of tho Assembly would be before theirconstituents in a few months, if not in a few weeks. The Government had been almost in a minority for at least two years, but they had held odice mainly through divisions in tho Opposition. Mr Moss then proceeded to refer to tho agita tion in Canterbury respectingthoalterations in the railway tariff, and expressed the opinion that the Government was right in making the increases in the tariff. Ho said it was the duty of tho Government first to exhaust every moans in their power to make tho railways pay, and if they did not succeed they should come upon the lands to make up tho de ficiency. Ho believed tho Canterbury members would contrive on this question of tho tariff to oust the Government from office, but although ho had long been a con sistent opponent of the Government, ho would not vote against them on this question. (Cheers). Tho speaker proceeded to say that it had long been an open secret that there was a strong feeling in favour of union between Otago and Canterbury, and expressed tho opinion that this was why Mr Macandrew had no long supported Mr Montgomery as leader in preference to Sir Goorgo Grey. Ho was convinced that the abolition of tho old' provincial institu tions had not contributed to the better union of tho colony, as had been asserted by the supporters of the change, but had rather tended to increase provincial bickerings and jealousies which woro gradually growing greater than ever. Mr Moss went on to refer to the question of tho deficiency, and tho conse quent necessity for retrenchment. He re viewed the socafled efforts of successive administrations to effect retrenchment in tho public expenditure, and pointed out various directions in which reductions might bo effected. A great saving might be made If the number of legislators sent to Welling ton each year woro decreased from 140 to 70, departmental expenses might bo cut down, while furthor retrenchment might bo effected by decentralisation of the Government. Taxation was another ques tion which required attention. Tho pay ment of one and a-half millions of Customs taxes by 100,000 heads of families was un precedented in any other part of the world. Heferenco was made to tho borrowing policies of the past and present Govern ments, Mr Moss expressing the opinion that while it was impossible to stop borrowing all at onco, it was desirable that the curb Bhouldbeapplicdgradually, and the recourse to the European money markets less and lessfrequent. The wholemachinory of central administration should be rendered as simple as possible, and thus a large annual expen diture would bo avoided. Speaking on the question of native lands, Mr Moss said he believed tho time had como when the natives should be allowed to look more after themselves. He thought they should be encouraged to form committees for the co-operative dealing with their lands. He believed thero was more trickery, chicanery, and wrong-doing through the Government agent system than in any other way. It was possible that under tho system he proposed largo blocks of land might fall into the hands of private people, but lie believed that this was less objectionable than the other. They would havo to deal with those large land speculators at some time or other. Tho speaker expressed himself antagonistic to the holding of largo blocks of land by pri rato individuals, and in favour of the pre sent free system of education. He hoped tho day would como when the high schools as well as tho common schools would be free, and when only pupils who could pass a certain examination would bo admitted there. Ho was in favour of the religious instruction of tho young, but that should havo nothing to do with the State; it should bo entirely a matter for the clergy. In his concluding remarks, Mr Moss re quested his constituents to leave his hands free during the onsuing session. The hither to disorganised Opposition would be made moro disorganised by tho accession to its ranks of the Canterbury members, anxious only to turn tho Government out. The Go vernment was also disorganised, and things were bad enough when members of tho Ministry failed to obtain votes of con fidence from those who were once their own supporters. Tho latest addition to the Ministry (Mr Mitcholson) had shown an evi dent earnest desire to do his duty, but whero there were so many elements of con fusion ho desired that his hands might be loft free, so that he might, if ho considered it judicious, give his support to a party that might ariso which would be willing to con duct the affairs of the colony on the prin ciples ho had enunciated.

In answer to questions, Mr Moss eaid (1) he had often brought the question of removal of Newmarket railway station before the Government, but had never suc ceeded in having the change effected. He would speak to Mr Mitchelson about the matter on his arrival in Wellington. (2) He would endeavourtohave a railway bridge arocted over the line in Kyber Pass Road, owing to the present one boing so narrow. He had unsuccessfully endeavoured to get a double line of rails laid from Newmarket to Ponroso ; tho cost was £ 12,000. (3) He would be in favour of outting up and sell ipg tho large leasehold blocks fa Canterbury if he thought the land suitable for agricul; tural purposes.but he did not think it was. The blocks might, however, be out up into smaller pastoral sections. (4) He would support an unimproved land tax in pre ference to the imposition of further Customs duties. (5) He was strongly in favour of triennial Parliaments, and would oppose any attempt to lenghten tho term. (6) He would oppose any increase in the honorarium, The amount should bo paid by the Constitution. He was in favour of keeping the Licensing Act as at present.— Mr Suiter referred to what he called the injustice of people holding extreme tem perance views boing allowed to sit on Licensing Benches, while people connected with the liquor traffic were prohibited. Mr Moss did not consider that any alteration in the direction indicated could be effected- One was a question, and the other of interost. Tho speaker also expressed him self in favour of manhood suffrage for oloction of Licensing Committees, and of doing away with cumulative voting at School Committee oloctions. A vote of thanks and oonlidenco was passed on the motion of Mr Hogg, seconded by Mr Cromwoll. The meeting then dispersed,

THE MAORI EMBASSY TO ENGLAND.

Tawhiao at tho Exhibition,

(From the Mklrourne "Amius.")

The Maori embassy visited the Exhibition on loth instant. A four-horse drag was despatched to Williamstown by Tattersall's Company for King Tawhiao and his suite, wlio, dressed in their best, in blue frock coats and shiny silk hats, and wearing largo bouquets in their button-holes, made quite an imposing appearance as they drove through the city. The president of the Exhibition, Mr L. L. Smith, and Mr John Woods, M. L. A,, werein waiting at the porch of the Exhibition to do the honours to royalty. Die King salaamed low, raised his hat with courtly grace, and shook hands warmly all round, including the door-keeper, who was taken for another potential mag nate. The machinery annexe was the first to enjoy the presence of royalty, and the doctor, ;\ctin£r aa cicovone find lecturer, was full of zeal in his congenial fashion. King Tawhiao, with a giant stride and a blasi, languid air, stopped briskly past the won ders of European civilisation as if he was anxious to get tho show over—past tho different courts, like .Jack the Giant Killer in his pevon-leaguod boots—past his retinue and interpreter—a long way past everyone but tho doctor, who, trotting breathlessly in his rear, strove to keep on speaking terms witli His Majesty's coat - tails, while he lucidly explained overytliing in an unknown tongue to his unwilling listener. The King traversed tho entire building, and was coming back in the quickest exhibition time on record, with the doctor visibly distressed with his exertions, when the interpreter managed to catch up, and broke the spell. "1 couldn't keep up with him," was Mr Skidmore's truthful lament in reply to the remonstrance of the doctor, who now became awaro that ho had been wasting his breath ; but there was no time to spend in words, for the King, like tho irrepressible cork leg, was up and off again, and to try and stop him was all in vain, till he pulled up abruptly in the main building, before the first object of interest he had seen in his travels.

THE KIXO ASD THE TKICYCLB. It was a tricyle, and the King, with a fascinated gaze, gloated over it, and evidently thought the proprietors (the Melbourne Sports DepGt) to be the people most to be envied in the world. All the ennui and indifferonoe which he had ghown in tho annexe vanished in a moment. What was a steam engine compared with a tricycle ? He touched it tenderly, with his eyes all a-glow with a fond eager light. We've fetched him at last," exultantly exclaimed the doctor, who had had time to recover his breath j " we must get some one to ride this tricycle." And when it was riddon the King's joy knew no bounds. He laughed, and crowed, and chuckled; he rub bed his hands, and followed tho machine up and down tho track by himself, for no one could pace a yard with him. But the culminating delight was the bicycle. When he saw thig Tawhiao was quite ecstatic in his pleasure, and his teeth shone whiter and broader with every turn the rider made ; but a cloud came over him in tho midst of his bliss. He was touched on the shoulder. He looked towards the door, and saw an apparition which chilled him. It was only the well-known figure of the genial town clerk of Melbourne, come en regie, on hospitable thoughts intent, and to pay his respects to the distinguished visi tors ; but His Majesty visibly shrank from the ordeal of an official interview as from a presentiment of evil. The town clerk, with the graceful self-possession vrhich never de serts him, even in the presence of royalty, advanced with his hat deferentially raised very high above his head, and bowed very low. His dignities wero made known to the King, who heard them sadly. He appeared to be afraid that he was going to be presented with an address, and melancholy settled upon him. But little reassured by Mr Fitzgib bon's benevolent glance, His Majesty bowed gravely, and awaited the worst. The town clerk took the dusky monarch by the hand, but stood a respectful distance from him, as if he feared that King Tauhiao would want to seal the bonds of friendship by rubbing noses with him. Then, while the King listened with an anxious brow for Mr Fitz gibbon to declare his mission, the first words of the interview were spoken. The inter preter translated the words, and as it gra dually dawned upon His Majesty that, instead of a dreaded oration from the fluent civic representative, ho was cordially in vited to dine with Mr Fitzgibbon at South Yarra, the cloud rolled away v ntil the last shadow of gloom departed from his face, and he grasped the town clerk's hand with so much greater warmth than before that that gentleman apprehensively stood further off than ever. By this time, the entente cordials had been thoroughly established with all the King's retinue, and, with much vivacity, they cheerfully accepted Mr Fitz gibbop's welcome invitation fpr Thursday; —all save one, the impassive Te Wheoro, who was impassive to the last. As usual, he was as unmoved as the finger of fate, stony and expressionless.

A SPEECH IS SPOKBN. After roaming through all the courts with unflagging zest the king and his suite accompanied the president and members of the committee to the luncheon-room. Mr L. L, Smith uncorked a bottle with tremu lous haste. It was the happiest moment of his life. He was about to present a glass of Crcme de Bouzy to royaly. "The glorious vintage of Champagne," cried tho doctor, cutting the string and whinipping out the cork. "Clear sparkling wine, the pure juice of the grape," added he, filling five glasses with the greatest rapidity, and handing one towards the King. Another moment and the unsuspecting monarch would have been ensnared; but his out stretched hand was intercepted, and the glass taken by the interpreter. "He's a blue ribbon man," said Mr Skidmore. The doctor's face fell as he saw that tho gorgeous decoration on King Tawhiao's coat was not, as he hoped, some Maori distinction, and he did not even try to conceal his disappoint ment while the Royal party regaiod them selves on ginger ale wfthout knowing what they esoa'pefl. Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise.

King Tawhiao pensively drank his ginger ale, and when Mr L. L. Smith began to make overt demonstrations denoting an impending oration, the monarch grew more and more unhappy; but the doctor was relentless. If he wonld not take Crime de Bouzy, he would have to swallow a speech. So, disregarding all thg appealing glunpes of the King and his court for leniency, the President, in his most portentious tones, began— " Your Majesty and Chiefs,—We are in a young country like your own, and we are striving by the encouragement of the in dustrial arts and the creation of natural products, to develope the resources of Vic toria, in the hope that by and-bye we may be able to raiso ourselves as producers and manufacturers to the level of the inhabit ants of older countries." [And then, to the interpreter—" Tell him that, and when you've dono I'll give you Eome more." The King saw that he was in for it, and tried to resign himself to hia fate, but he moved impatiently on his chair. Mr L. L. Smith, as soon as the interpreter had finishod, proceeded : — " Tho purpose we have got in view is thus fostering the productive power of the colony is to enable it to become a great nation—groat not only in its natural rich ness, but in the conversion of raw material into the commodities for which England hag been famous. You are about to visit that country from which the majority of us have sprung, and you will have seen that we try to emulate tho manufacturers whom are forofathers before us instructed, cmr object being to give employment to the greatest numbor of our people. In Victoria overyone is employed, but in England wealth and poverty go hand in hand." The King's impatience deepened (\s the speaker went on, and before Mr tt. L. Smith had fully doscantpd upon the history of the Exh,ibitjon building and come to the porora tion, in which he wished the Royal party God speed, Tawhiao and his friends seemed utterly dejected. Even tho stolid visage of Te Whooro looked careworn. At last it was the King's turn, and he returned good for evil to his adversary by compressing his sentiments into a general congratulation of the people of Victoria, and a personal acknowledgment of tho pleasure the em bassy had had in visiting tho colony, and of the kindness with which they had b»en received.

Exeunt the visitors to the dome, on which everybody recovered their equanimity, and the city was greatly admired by Tawhiao, who Baid he had never seen anything like it in New Zealand. The day was wound up with a concert and exhibitions of acrobat ism, and the immortal " Punch and Judy," whereat the monarch and his friends laughed heartily, and forget the post-prandial ora tory. Lastly, they were bedecked with medals commemorative of the Exhibition and left it in a high sta^e of, good h,umour '

According^ statistics recently published, thero are 300 towns in the German Empire possessing orchestras and choral societies that give concerts in the season.

CONCERT AT NEWTON ATHENÆUM.

The first cf a series of weekly entertain ments in aid of St. Benedict's Church Build ing Fund was given last evening in tho Newton Athenteum, under the able man agement of Mr O. Mahon. The hall was crowded with interested friends and visitors. The Rev. Father Downie intro duced the proceedings in a brief good humoured speech The programme con sisted of solos, songs (sentimental and comic), and an Ethiopian sketch by Messrs Doran and Mettam. The songs by the young ladies were most creditable. Miss Knight possesses a clear voice, and sang' with charming expression, gaining a dis tinct encore. Miss Walmslcy also gave entire satisfaction with her brace of pathetic lyrics, while Mies Fernandez an peared to favourable advantage with two pretty songs. The following comprised the selections :. — Kano solos, Miss Lynch; " Dream Faces" Miss Knight; and later on in the evening Miss Knight sang " Ehrin on the Rhine," a popular song which is going the round of musical circles; "The Gallants of Eng.' land," Mr Knox. Mr Knox has a powerful voice, and his English song was rendered in vigorous and energetic style. Mr Green wood (male soprano),gave two songs, "The Anchor's Weighed"and "In the Gloaming," in his careful manner. Miss WalmsleyV " Good-bye at tho Door " and "We Parted' by the River Side " were justly applauded. Mr Morris, who seemed to be a special favourite with the audience, sang two comic songs in character, "The Height of a Soldier " and " She Took a Sly Glance at Me." A vote of thanks was accorded to the friends who had interested the audience, on the motion of Rev. Father Downie, and tho whole concluded with Doran's dark sketch, " The Ghost of Gar rard." Mr P. Doran as the ghost in spark ling costume ; Mr Mettam as tho Hon. Mr Sheehan.

St. Jacob's Oil invincible.

(To the Editor of EVKNfNG Stab.) Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to tha efficacy of tho great German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from tima to time, expressions of gratitude from personßot known respectability, and having satisfied my. self of the genuineness of the cures effected I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving me. For tho past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spito of the most able treatment on the part of my modi cal adviser, ooritiDued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and ray whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give mo relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located in my left thigh, apd the pain at times was most excruciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and the great est care and attention on my part, ■ ob. tamed no appreciable relief, and at last, tit s 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 tho cessation from pain as only a temporary one, ooarcely daring to hopa 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 niehts previously, and my system was very low. The success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and slmll ever continue to recommend it to every sufferer who cornea within range of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard it as tno greatest boon of the age. Yours faithfully, Joiin Lee. Ashbourne, Mudgee, November 12,1883.
