NEWS FROM TONGA.

(from our own correspondent.)

Vavau, July 22. H.M.S. Espieole arrived in Vavau on the 15th inst. The captain, with the Consul, immediately went on shore to seek an official interview with the King. The first formal meeting was arranged for the following- day.

It is understood that there were a great many complaints against the Tongan Go vernment. Tho first and most serious ono was that a law had been made in violation of tho treaty with England forbidding any Tonga man from suing a British subject before tho Consul's Court Unless per mission had beon previously givori by Mr Baker or the chief policeman. It was generally supposed the law was made to protect Mr Baker from the only court that could touch him hero. A demand, was made that it should be expunged at once, which was done. Complaints were then made of want of proper respect on tho part of the Tongali officials to the Consul, and through him to the English Government, by using language in addressing him which was not courteous and becoming towarde ono who was tho representative of the English Government. Complaints were made also of the general unfriendly feel ing shown to tho English ("Government and to tho English people living in Tonga. It is said the King ropliod that it was not his wish. Everybody in Tonga—native and European—will heartily testify to tho truth of that remark. It is said the captain of the man-of-war said ho also believed it, as ho was perfectly aware that much he had to complain of had been really tho work of another.

Tho arbitrary nature of some of tho lawn was complained of, and notice was given that some of them must be altered. Tho want of faith in keeping promises which had been made was referred to. It was .said that amongst other things it had been promised that the laws should bo printed in English as well as Tongan. It had also been promised thai Mr Baker should render an account of his receipts and expenditure of Government money. These things, it is understood, were again demanded.

At the close King George assured the captain that there wan the same good feel ing existing between him and the English Government as of old. Unless unfair in fluences are brought to bear upon him, there is no doubt but that feeling will con tinue to exist.

Mr Baker was expected in daily during the stay of the man-of-war. The captain and Consul were anxious to see him, and they waited for him from Friday until Sun day afternoon. The captain, before leaving, told the King that if any further dispute arose between the English Government and tho Tongan Government, they would hold Mrgakcrresponsible forit. Nodbubtthey arc right. Mr Baker is really the Govern ment, responsible to no ono, giving no ac count of his cash transactions or anything else to anyone. It may interest homo of your readers to know what offices he is sup posed to hold here. Ho styles himself Premier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Min ister of Lands, Minister of Education, mid Auditor-General.

Trees in Hobson-strect.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—A short time since some 50 or 60 property owners in llobeon and Pitts treets, seeing that Hobson-street was rapidly be coming ono of the leading business streets of tho city, and that tho traffic was in creasing greatly, sent in a petition to the City Council praying for the removal of the trees in those thoroughfares, as they were found to lie a great obstruction to the traffic, and al.^o a great nuisance to shop keepers, by obstructing the doors and windows, filling and choking verandah .spouts, strewing footpaths with leave?, kc. On the petition being presented, the Council decided to havo the trees removed, and men were at once started on tiio work. 1 was therefore very much surprised when I saw by your issue of yesterday that in consequence of a very influential petition headed by Dr. Walker (who lives in Grey strcet), and signed by a number of residents in Pitt and Hobeon-streets, asking the Council to reconsider their decision, the Council had actually agreed to do so, and that tho Mayor had already given orders for the work to be stopped. Now, as lam ono of those who signed the first petition, and knowing the majority of those who signed with me to be the largest property owners in above-named streets, I naturally felt curious to know who the parties were who had signed the counter petition. I therefore made inquiries, and found that the three first names on the petition were residents in Grey-street, and I beliovo weekly tenants. What they have to do with Hobson-street I camiot tell. The next five names on the list were mem bers of two families living in two tenements in Pitt-street, also tenants ; and the majority of tbe remainder consisted of the names of persons who, if inquired for next week, would probably not be found. In fact, I am sure that three-fourths of those signing the counter petition do not own one foot of land in the locality. Surely the Com mittee to whom the matter is referred will carefully go through the names on the two petitions, and be guided by the amount of property represented in coming to a decision.—-I am, &c,

A Resident of Hobson-stkeet.

Sir, —I see by your Thursday's issue that a movement is on foot to remove the orna mental trees from Pitt and Hobson-streets, and the subterfuge for the removal is to make more room. I think there is certainly plenty of room and to spare for all the traffic of both these streets, and will be for all time. If the City Council, therefore, decides to perpetrato such an absurdity as to remove the greatest stroet ornament that Auckland possesses, and" especially after spending so much of the ratepayers' money in planting and nursing them to such an oxtcnt. Such an insano act will, I think, go far to prove that it is time to dissolve the City Parliament. Better, I think, uso their collective wisdom to make the dis graceful streets and roads] fit for their respective uses, than to destroy the orna mental parts thereof. I quite agree with the remarks of the writer "Observer" on tho same subject.—l am, etc., Verita.Si

Constitutional Usage.

(To the Editor.)

Sje,—Your footnote to my letter on con stitutional usage raises an issue I carefully avoided discussing, viz., the'strictly legal, Everyone knows that law is one thing, but the mode of administering it quite another, and this latter is what I mean by usage. Granting, for tho sako of argument, that the law both in England and hero is the same, viz., that a condition of holding office is membership of Parliament, I have shown that in England a fair time and oppor tunity ia given for a Minister if rejected by one constituency to obtain a seat for another. I think in Now Zealand this pre cedent would be followed. Let mo suppose a very -possible occurrence. A Govern ment appeals to the country on a question of policy, and as the result obtains a good working majority, bat in the conflict the Premier loses his seat. Would it for one moment be contended that the Premier immediately resigns, and with him the whole of tho Ministry ? Or, what I contend is far more reasonable, would he not go on administering the affairs of tho colony until Parliament met, when some member would resign his seat in his favour ? The whole question of legality appears to me to be bound up in the follow ing extract from your footnote :"—ln Now Zealand, the losing of a seat in tho House of Representatives incapacitates the ex member for office until he is otherwise qualified." Would you kindly give me your authority for this, and at the same time say what other qualification exists for a Minister other than a member of either House of tho Legislature?—l am, etc., J. M. •July Sth, 1884.

[A Cabinet Minister must be a member of the Executive' Council, but need not necessarily be a member of the Legislature when he possesses the first-named qualifica tion. OurcontentionisthatMr Dispossessed neither qualification, and therefore was not entitled to retain his seat. Our authority for holding this view we considered, and still consider, unimpeachable, but there can be no doubt that in practice the rule is subject to modifications. Such n practice as that of Ministers retaining office for a day after their defeat at the poll would be most pernicious, and in New Zealand would not be tolerated.—Ed. E.S.]

Dear Sira,--I beg to acquaint you of a marvel lous euro following on the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which has taken place in my own family. law a poor man with eight children, nnd for years have been a great sufferer from BCiatica. My nite was advised to try St. Jacobs Oil. She procured a bottle, and I havo been using it of lato with good results, but it ia of my eldest daughter, 13 yenrs of use, that I wish to tell you. Si(o retired ono night, about i monthß ago. in hoi' usual good health, but the next morning she could not speak. I thought it was cold, ana «a, appliod tho usual remedies, without effect My wife took hor to Invercll to ego Dr , who said that it was not a cold, but that her throat was ulcerated low down, and he prescribed cod SiveroUand other medicines, and also advised her to ir/halo the fumes of Stockholm tar, say< ins she might never recover her speech again. At tho expiration of a fortnight, tho medicine having been finished, another visit to the Dr. was made, who again prescribed for hor, but told my wife ho had no hope of her ever being able to speak again. We began to despair, bui the day I used the oil—about three months afte, she was taken ill—l porsuaded my wife, after we • had retired, to uso tho oil. Sho got up and gars tho girl two drops in water, and rubbed it on het throat. Next morningwe were delighted to find that she could talk as well as ever, and has been able to do so ever since. I remain, gentlemen, gratefully yours, s JAS. R. HATCHEa £ioo Reward. £100 —A cash reward of one hundred perandi will bo paid by the Charles A.
