A MELBOURNE SENSATION.

Forgory, rraud, and Bigamy in High' Life.

The Melbourne "Herald" has published the following "startlor" in reference to a matter which was briefly reported in our telegraphic columns a few days ago ;—" It is most likely that within a very short time society will bo startled by a prosecution for bigamy, the alleged offender being a person whose career has been, according to all accounts, a most remarkable one iv many respects. Ho camo to tho

colony some years ago under an assumed name, and was shortly afterward followed by his wifo, who instituted some proceedings for desertion of his children. An arrangement was, however, come to, and the parlies proceeded to another colony, where the man entered into business. His career, however, was not of an altogether honourable nature, and after some serious reverses he camo back to Victoria. Some time ago ho mado the acquaintance of a young lady residing in a southern suburb. The man is a person of most preventable appearance, commanding presence, and with a manner which is irreproachable, so far as outward appearance is concerned. Ho mado an impression upon thc^ young lady in question under th« v guise of being a single man, although he had left his wife in another colony. His addresses were received with favour, and eventually he was an accepted suitor, and finally went through the marriage form. Tho young lady is a member of a well-known family, and the exposure which must shortly be oxpected will be of a most painful character to her and to all her relatives. It appears from what we can learn, that the lady's mother heard somo rumour of the true state of tho case and questioned her danghter's husband re garding it; but he denied ever having been married, and gave an explanation as to the circumstances which gave rise to the rumour. The explanation was not alto gether creditable to the man ; but it at any rate satisfied the mother that her daughter was at - least a lawful wife. At last, _it seems, the real wifo has been in formed of tho true state of the case, and is about to como to Molbouruo to prosecute her husband. It is to be sincorely hopod, for tho sake of tho tin fortunate" young lady who occupies tho position of wife to another woman's husband, that the public exposure ma? be averted ; but in any ease the true facts must becomo known among the young lady's extensive circlo of friends and acquaintances. Wo are in possession of full information as to tho threo names tho heartless rascal has been known under, his offences, which are said to include forgery and fraud, as well as bigamy, and his career for some years; but. we refrain from publishing them on account of the young lady who has been so shamefully de ceived. Should the exposure become in evitable, we may bo inclined to give tho man's complete history, which is extraor dinary in very many respects."

CORRESPONDENCE

We havo a number of letters on hand that have been crowded out from day to day. It is nocossary, thorcfore, to boil down in order to givo their pith.

Melbourne Bootmakers' Strike.— " Cordwainer," writing on this subject, says —"In your article you vory properly chur actcviso piecework as ' one of the grandest planks in a trades union platform,' but you are wrong in assuming that tho result of compelling the outside workers to come in sido would bo to destroy tho piecework system, us the almost universal mode of payment in factories where no outsiders ore omployed is by piecework, if we oxcopt the * upper' department, and tho proportion of men employed thero is only 10 per cent, of the whole. I agreo with you that from your standpoint it does seem unreasonable to demand that all the work shall bo done inside, tho rate of piece wages-being tho same to outsiders as ob tains inside tho factory ; but the reason for tin: demand has its buso in tho dosiro to benefit those who have given foiir or five years to the perfecting themselves in their handicraft, and surely theso ought: to have the preference over unskilled labour em ployed by ' sweaters ' to do somo branch which they havo (ticked up, but to which thoy luve served no apprenticeship. The result is that tho former process having ob tained in Melbourne, many skilled boot makers cannot find employment, and further, trade iv the boot and shoo line re cently has not been over brisk ; yet those outsiders havo no restriction placed upon thorn, and are working their 10 and 12 hours per diem, cioinj^ in the extra hours the work which would fully employ those who iiio walking about, and have not the facilities nor the inclination to take tho work homo. We find the samo thing oper ateshoroinanothcrdiroction. Manufacturers find it pays to keop a large number of apprentices, so large in fact that in some of the Auckland factories they outnumber tho men. What is tho result ? Why, those boys as soon as they complete their terms of apprenticeship, unless thoy havo developed unusual talent, are sent adrift, their places filled with more apprentices, while thoy must either take to the bush or invest in £i pick and shovel."

Our Fkii Supply.— " Well - Wisher " wonddrs fiat Auckland, one of, if not, the principal seaport in New Zealand, has no fish market. He says : "It is now, I believe, over six months f-inco a notice appeared announcing that application had been made to the Harbour Board for a site with water frontage for a fish and oyster market, and that such was* agreed upon ; but I am not awaro that anything further has been heard of the matter. Sinco then we have heard of the starting and collapso of a small fish company, again leaving the wholesale fish trade in the nands of: one or two individuals to supply a population of between 30,000 and 40,000 inhabitants from one small shop and a few hawkors with bas kets. Now, sir, I presume this state of things will never be improved upon or remedied until Auckland has a proper fish market, game as exists in almost every other town of any importance, fur nished with nocespary freozing apparatus, whore tho daily supplios aro disposed of by auction, and sufficiont accommoda tion provided for smoking and curing. In London and other large cities at home a public officer is appointed to.inspect the fish when landed or placed in the market, and large quantities are overy week con demned. It would be well if our City Council could be induced to look into the matter, and our Harbour Board to provide a site for a wholesale and retail market, and thereby promote the general welfare of the community."

The Building Surveyor. — "A Builder" writes: "I was very much sur prised to see the remark made by the Mayor re the Building Surveyor, as reported in the Star. 1 have been during the last twolvo months brought much into contact with that officer, and on. occasions have had to differ with him on the reading of parts of tho Building Regulations ; but in common justice I must say that I have always found him most careful in examining, the plans and specifications submitted to him, and always courteous. The dissatisfaction with this department, I venture to say, is not with its officer, but with the regulations, which greatly need revising." New Zealand Volunteers.— Robert G. V. Parker, ex-Quarter-Mastor Sergeant Royal Regiment Artillery, writes:—" As an old soldier, I would like to ofl'or a few re marks on tho Arl illory Volunteer system in this colony. On tho efficient service of artillery, and a properly-conducted service of garrieon and coast defenco, New Zealand will have to depend in repelling invasions, and protecting tho lives and property of colonists in the future. In Ailwiland I find one (so-called) field battery, without horses, armed with two 6-pouuder popgun,';, which i either for offonco or defenco aro practically [ useless ; there are no qualified instructors ; '. the gun-drill is an obsolete form ; the small i aims are the Snider carbine and sword bayonet, instead of the long sword and re volver ; not a nii>n has been through equita tion drill, or understands the simple details of laboratory work : I doubt whether there I is a man who could make up a cartridge, fill a shell, or bore a time fuse correctly. Now sir, every thinking man must admit that this is not as it should be.- What we want here are garrison batteries, men of good physique, trained to the use of heavy ordnance in the modus operandi of moving and mounting heavy guns in barbette and moneriofT batteries, of laying and firing by night, in using reflecting sights, Captain French's scales, and range-finding instru ments, with a knowledge of laboratory work and practical mechanics. Men ought not to be admitted whose principal motive for joining is to strut about the streets in their uniform. Tho time is coming when the colohy will have to adopt the Governor's scheme of defence, and, to my mind, we sljall either need a radical change in our Artillery Volunteers, or else the formation of a corps of perfecfclyrtrained and reliable mercenary artillery will become an im perative necessity." ..,'

Abolition of Subvky Department.— Tangentnl writes: "Themany professional raeh here in various branches of civil engineering will hail with delight the pro posed reform in the Government Survey Department mentioned by your Wel lington correspondent. The statement of its being a training school for Parliamentary protege's is undeniable. These young fellows are paid various amounts, and at the expiration of three years are turned out as ready-made civil engineers and surveyors, brought np in all j the technical idiosyncraeies of the ijead of their department, and are retained in Government employ to the exclusion of all others, 'bo they who they may.' Ex. perience, practice, and knowledge, myßelf. and others have attained at Home and in the other colonies, but upon arrival herefindthat the Government havo turned ottt, at the pub lic expense, numberless young proteges, who are to have tho future and present public works to carry out, and our request for employment ie met by tho stereotyped reply, 'No vacancy.' In tho meantime, our centra. Main Trunk Kail way line is being carried out by these raw hands, superintended by a few olde* officers, whose hands are lied to these Government appointees. Natural sequence, delays, alterations, and re-alterations will tako place before our railway line will be in tho hands of formation contractor. Tho gonoral public will see, therofore, that tho best way will most decidedly be a fair and open field of competition to all profes sional men, by which means the" work of tho colony will be done in a better and quicker manner and a cheaper rate."
