Milian'a office with tho concurrence of both parties. Hia claim included cost of survey, £ 624 10s; preparing lithographs, £12; Brinting, £33 ; and advertising about £120. ither amounts brought those expenses up to £794 2s 3d. Ho also claimed £500 for tiio cost of commission. Ho believed tho land would have brought considerably more than £11,200. It was worth an average of £5 per acre, and included some of the best land in the province. Mr Alley put an up set of £3 5s per acre on tho land. He was quite certain it would have brought at least £1 per aero over the £11,200. The ex pense ho was actually put to was £79-4, and he claimed £2,200. Up till the time ho got tho notico he did not hear anything from Mr Alley to the effect that he had not done his part of the contract.—Tho witness was examined at some length by Mr Tolo, who put in some correspondence between tho parties. In one of the letters Mr Hickson offered to undertake the disposal of tho estate at 5 per cent., risking tho loss from cost of survey f,&c, in tho event of tho land not being sold. In tho course of the cross examination, Mr Hickson admitted that after the December agreement Mr Alloy had written to him to the effect that ho had misunderstood tho agreement, and had not intended to give him the £500.

Sailing of the British King.

London', March S. The British King sails for Auckland, Wcl lington, and Canterbury on March 15th. Sho takes no (saloon passengers, only second und third. This is the last voyage tho British ■$ King will makojfor tho,New Zealand Shipping Company. Mr Horton, of tho "New Zealand Herald," expects to leave England in about six weeks' tirao.

The New Zealand friends of Lord Pem broke will bo much pleased to learn that ho is considered out of danger. Dr. Kingsley has been with him since the commencement of his illness—indeed, it is mainly owing to his friendly ministrations that Lord Pom broke has pulled through.

More Government Immigrants.

Tho Agent-Gonoral informs mo that lie is despatching 250 Government immigrants for Auckland, Wellington, and Canter bury, by tho British King; '200 by Aorangi to Otago and Canterbury on March 28th ; and 200 by the Victory to Otago and Canterbury on March 24. Frozen Meat Dinners.—Tho Project Crushed. It was with unfeigned regret and indigna tion that I learned from Mr Kennaway, of the Agent-General's ollice, that the ad mirable scheme for inaugurating a series of frozen produce dinners at tho coming Health Exhibition has fallon through. Sir F. Dillon Bell and others applied to tho commissioners for space in tho building for frozen meat dining rooms, and were continuing all necessary preparations when a letter reached them declining to accede to tho request. No reasons were given for the refusal, but it is understood the Commissioners viewed the idea as rather a gigantic advertisement for a clique of butchors than as a colo nial show. For this ultimatum wo have probably to thank enterprising Mr Stimpson, who audaciously interjected a wagon-load of frozen carcases from New Zealand into tho Lord Mayor's show last November. I do not blame the Health Commissioners for poohpoohing tho dinner scheme on this account, but I cor tainly think the various Agent-Generals and merchants interested in the frozen meat trade sadly wanting in enterprise for not pushing tho matter further. These dinners would havo done moro to populariso colo nial produce, and remove the last remnant of prejudica against frozen mutton, than a century of lectures and articles. The best plan now would be to carry out the scheme in onooftheshopsadjacentto tho Exhibition, but I fear there is no chance of that. With the exception of Mr. Larkworthy, no one to whom I have spokon seems to care enough for the scheme to push it.

Tho Frozen Moat Trade

Tho whole of the mutton brought home by the Tongariro has been sold, the only New Zoaland meat now left in the market beingtbat rocentlyarrired per British King. TheTongariro'smutton carcases fetched from 5d to 6d per pound wholesale, and tho lamb realised 7d to 7id. Such of tne British King's moat as has boon sold fetched ajjd. It is in better condition than tho Ton gariro's, but prices are bad (1) bocauso of its being Lent; (2) because there happens to be a glut of English meat in tho market just now; and (3) becauso tho River Tlato mutton shows signs of improvement. Tho butter per Tongariro proved far better than any previously received, and a portion of it sold at 84s per cwt.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

A meeting of this Board was held this after noon. Presont:—Messrs Hobbs (Chairman), Carr, Goldio, Luko, McKcnzie, Moss, and Cooper. Letter.—A letter was received from Mr Hislop, Education Department, expressing hia obligation to the Secretary, Mr Rice, for receiving the returns at so early a date, which enabled him to send Table 7 to the printer a fortnight ago. This -was of great importance to the Board. Mr Hislop also expressed satisfaction at the neatneea and accuracy of the returns, nothing about thorn having caused the least difficulty. Newmarket School. —A deputation of the Mount Hobson School Committee waited upon the Board dosiring.nn enlargement of the Newmarket School, which was con sidered necessary owing to increase of scholars. The deputation consisted of Messrs Eee3, George, John Jenkins, Tait, and five other gentlemen. Mr Tait ex plained that room was required at the boys' school, for at least 50 moro boy 3 wero un able to get admission. Mr George and Mr Jenkins also spoke on the necessity of more accommodation. Since the rail way workshops had been going up, the number of children had greatly increased ; in short, it was a case of absolute necessity.—The Chairman said he had entire sympathy with the Committee, and ha was glad that the deputation had come forward, as it would strengthen the hands of the Board with the Government. — The Inspector had reported that it was a case of necessity.—Mr Moss said he was rather surprised that tho Newmarket people had not before urged this matter. Tho ne cessary alterations would cost i7ooor£Soo. —Mr Goldie thought if the Government could not find the money, rather than wait for 18 months or so, it would be better to take some temporary building for a time, until aproper and sufficiently largeschool could be erected. MeEsrs Carr, Cooper, and tho othor members expressed their sympathy with the object. Mr Moss said some pro vision must be made for school accommoda tion —Mr McKcnzio complained of the situation of the present school. It was low and, in his opinion, unhealthy. The Board promised that it would do all in its power to further the wishes of the Com mittee, and tho deputation thanked the Board and withdrew. Grafton Road Committee.—A recom mendation from this committee was received re removal of assistant master, considering it desirable in the interest and pvopor working of tho school that Mr Talbot be removed to some other sohoo, and if the Board should not think proper to remove Mr Talbot, the Com mittee will send in their resignation. The recommendation was signed by Mr Ham mond, Chairman of Committee. Mr tarr thought the Boaid could not deal with the matter until a reply had been received from Mr Healey, the head-master of Graf ton school. Mr Talbot's statements rcquirod a reply. Mr Goldie said it was most important that Mr Healey should furnish a report to the Board. He considered that it would be impolitic to remove Mr Talbot because* there wa3 a want of harmony in the school; ho then went into the work which Mr Talbot had done, and in many such instances the assistant often had tho greater part of the work to do, while the head master was a miserable failure. Mr Luke spoke of Mr Healey as a gentleman eminently qualified for his position, and said that it did not follow because a second master had the lartrer class, that ho had less to do. It must be considered that the head-master was mainly responsible for the whole of the school. It was finally de termined to apply to Mr Healey for the report, before taking any decided action in the matter.

NEW ZEALAND SUGAR COM PANY.

Arrangements Made for a Regular Supply of Raw MatorirU.

The New Zoaland Sugar Company's first consignment of raw sugar, amounting to about 000 tons, arrived from Java by tho barque Stanley last evening. The Stanley will be berthed at tho Company's wharf to morrowmorn-ng, andwilldisclnugehercargo in about a woek, cxcolloct arrangements having been made for the landing of goods by moans of a number of steam winches placed on tho wharf. Tho buildings and machinery at tho works aro almost com pleted. Unfortunately tho lato arrival of a portion of tho necessary machinery dolayed operations longer than was anticipated, but it is fully expected that real work will bo commenced in July or August. Amongst other vory useful articlos on tho Company's ground is a weighing machine by Fooloy, capable of weighing ten tons. Arrangements have been made for a regular supply of raw sugar from Java and China, and tho following large vessels aro already afloat with cargoes for this port : — Androklos, from China, with about 1500 tons; Mauhegan, from Java, with 1,500 tons; Maroon, from Java, with 700 tons; and Thames, with 700 tons. This, with tho shipment already roceired, makes a total of 4,400 tons received and on tho way. Vessels will arrive hero about once every month, bringing on an average about 900 tons raw sugar. All will discharge at the Sugar Company's Wharf. It is expected that the Company will bo able to turn out between 400 and 500 tons of refined sugar per month.

COROMANDEL MININE NEWS.

The Tiki district is still looking well, und v.~e expect to hear of another large stir in this place. Already there are two or tlirco new claims pegged out, and some are applying for licenses. The Matawai claim especially is looking remarkably well, and, no doubt, will havo another splendid crush ing as soon as they can get tho road fixed

up. Tokatka. - The manager is pushing on the low level towards the big reef, but the ground is so exceedingly hard that progross is very slow ; however, tho distance to be driven now is to short that it ought not to take much longer, and it is confidently expected that the last 70 or SO feet will be easier, as wherever the reef has been touched higher up there has been a splendid channel of'country on the foot wall, which is also more encouraging for gold. There ia a small peicentage of gold to be got where the reef has been tried, which leads one to hope that payable gold can be got lower down, and the manager has now got every thing into such nice working order that he feels°confident that anything over 8 dwts. gold per ton will pay handsomely, and as the reef is so enormous even that small yield would almost revolutionise Coromandel.

Yesterday afternoon, Gunner Lee, of the A Battery of Artillery, was buried with military honours from the District Hospital, where he died of typhoid fever. The coffin was carried on a gun-carriage, covered by the Union Jack, and drawn by the Artillery, assisted by some of the Nasals. Captain Payne wa3 in command, and Lieutenants Norrie and Geddes, of the "A" Battery, Captain Dignan, of the Hobson Company, and Sub-Lieutenant Selfe, of the Victoria Company,were among those present. The Garrison Band played the " Dead March in Saul" on the road to the Cemetery, and the Rev. C. M. Nelson, of St, Paul's, officiated at the grave. Several well-known racehorses were sub mitted for salo by auction to-day. Messrs Hunter and Nolan sold as follows :— Flying Scud, by Dead Shot, dam Volunteer, out of a Nutworth mare, to Mr C. Warren for 39 guineas ; King Quail, by Yattendon, dam Quail, to Mr F. Duder, of North Shore, for 70 guineas ; and Maori, by Tim Whiftler, dam Waratah, by Millionaire, to Mr T. Clark, for 50 guineas. Mr A Buckland offered for sale the racing raaro Mataia, and also a three-year-old entire by Musket, and two year-old filly, full sister. Neither were disposed of, ow ing to the reserves not being reached. The Kennedy Family again appeared in the Choral Hall last night before a large and appreciative audience.

SILK AND OLIVE CULTURE.

A Disinterested Opinion.

Muaiunu that "a gentleman had focSßiitly arrived in Aucklnnd who had travelled through Many of the countries of tlie Old World whero silk and olive Culture avo staple, industries, and that he had devoted some attention particularly to the growth of olive?, wo deputed one of our reporters to interview' him to day and elicit what informatiwH. lib could. Our t'epressnta'ctve was "cour teously "tceived, but on explaining hi= mission found thatthe gentleman in question, was exceedingly averse to his name appear-.' ing in print in connection with the matter. He said that as tho data ho had obtained had only been gathered in a leisurely sort of way while travelling as a tourist, he did not wish to pose us an authority in opposition to specialists, and neither did ho desire to throw cold water upon any of tho induotrint projects that were now engaging public attention. Upon being assured, howevor, that his name would not bo published, and that his in formation would be given with tho qualifica tions ho had mentioned, tho gentleman made tho following statement: — The Silk industry.

As I h.ivo already remarked, my experi enco with regard to tho production of silk was chiefly gained during a tour in Syria and Tunis, In both countries the rearing of tho worms and tile reeling of tho silk from tho cocoons am carded on outside tho ordi nary occupations of the people and are principally reiogatcd to tho childrch. ■ Silk is very largely produced in tho district of Syria formerly occupied by Tyro and Sidon, and all over Mount Lebanon. And it must bo reinembored that this in a country whero all the old irrigation works ore kept up, and where the mulberry leaves aro used to a very considerable extent for the purpose of fattening sheep. During a summer season, moro especially when it is dry, tho pooplo twice strip tho leaves off tho mulberry trees in order to feed tlioir flocks. Of course tho ability to employ people for such a purpose, as the feeding of sheep implies a vory cheap rate of remunerating manual labour. Mul berries, too, outer largely into tho diet of tho Syrians —in fact, they almost livo upon them. In that happy country there is, of courao, no National System of Education mid no schools, so that tho children have noth ing olso to do than rear tho silkworms and reel oil the silk. Still with all thoso advantages in its favour, tho industry languishes. Tho only articles produced from tho silk aro ornamental trifles, and pieces of tho woven fabric about three-quarters of a yard square for making up into tur bans, Thoro is a local demand for theso things^ and tourists also buy thorn in order to send home to their friends. In Syria, also, Very beautiful dyes are pro duced, and their übo in working up tho silk imparts to the latter an exceptional value Tho condition of matters in Tunis is much tho samo. Labour is extromely cheap, and the time given to silk does not interfere with tho ordinary avocations of the pooplo. It is only produced to meet tho homo demand, and the margin of profit is very small. Tho regular wago of tho people in both countries ranges from 4.U1 to 8d per diem. Besides producing silk, they also cultivate olives, oranges, and other fruits, and about Mount Lobanon, vines al* well. I resided for soino tirno in Spain, but I did not devoto much attention to tho silk industry there. I find, how ever, in the latest edition of "Murray's Handbook for Spain," (tho best authority in referenco to that country), the statement that at Huctor in Gran ada " vast quantities of silkworms aro reared. Tho winding the thread is anything but a sweot-smolling job; but seen from afar, as the [wasants preparo tho golden tissue in moat patriarchal poverty, tho poetry and tho picturesque aro porfeet." I know, of course, that tho industry is princi pally carried on by womon, and that thoir wages cannot exceed Is per diem, because tho smartest fomalo hands in the Tobacco Factory at Sovillo only mako Is, 3d per diem. Ollvo Culture

In rotation to tho growth of olivos, it must lirst of all bo borne in mind that tho olive takes a great longth of tii.io to mature, co that in New Zealand this could only bo an industry of the future. The treo only begins to bear at the ago of ton years, and it docs not reach its prime until it is 30 years old. I do not think that Now Zealand is well adapted for tho growth of tho olive. Tho northern half of tho provincial district of Auckland is tho region wherein it is most likely to thrive and flourish, although I am perfectly woll aware that olivet? have been grown in Wellington. Its adoption by small settlers as a payable industry, however, would bo at best a hazardous experiment. In South Australia tho extent of country availablo for the succoss ful growth of tho olive is practically un limited, and there, too, thorearo ranges "of low hills, adaptable for tho terracing that olivo culture needs, and yet only a few settlers have embarked in tho industry and thoir experience has not stimulated thoir neighbours to do likewise Mr Davenport has especially devotod attention to the matter, and although ho has achieved a decided success so far as the quality of his olives is concerned, yet he has not found thoir production to be a vory lucra tive undertaking. Of course, in British countries the olivo docs not outer so largely into tho necessities of the peoples* in France, Spain, and Italy. Thoro ono sees hardly anything but olives until he ascends to the piue wood", and olives are as indispensablo a part of the food of the peoplo in thoso countries as salt is a necessity to English men. Thus, olives are most largely grown for homo consumption, and here it is chiefly for their oil that thoy aro valued. Tho area of ground available in this colony for tho successful growth of the olive is, as I have eaid before, very circumscribed, and the industry is one that I would hesitate to recommond settlers with small capital to embark in. It would be too much like a leap in tho dark

Cork, Hops, and Tobacco.

There are many othor products that are entitled to prior attention however. Mr Justice Gillies, I think, has satisfactorily demonstrated that the growth of tho cork would afford considerable profit. It also grows slowly, but the profit arising from it is moro certain than in the case of the olive. Then, too, I heard when in Hawke's Bay recently that peoplo thore are making fortunes by the growth of hops, and I am assured on the very best authority that the cultivation of tho tobacco plant cannot fail to yield a handsome return, more especially as two companies have been formed hero for the production of marketable tobacco and cigars. To sum up, I cannot Ree how sericulture can be rendered a lucra tive industry in Now Zealand, and tho profitable culture of the olive is at best problematical. After some further conversation of a more general character our repre sentative expressed his obligations for tho information he had received, and withdrew. We regret that we are debarred from giving the name of our in formant, as it would assuredly lend greater weight to his remarks.
