Duxuhin, this day

On (lit that "Conscience" Green intends to return to Australia. The Bracken testimonial is expected to realise over £200. The " Otago Daily Times " strongly urges a Vogel-Ormond Ministry, which would be at onco strong, enterprising, and trust worthy. Supposing Sir Julius and Mr Ormond cannot hit it, what is likely to bo tho course of altairs ? Tho first result will be to throw considerable influence into Sir Goorge Grey's liands in intrigues for the Premiership. If Sir Georgo has to choose between Sir Julius and Mr Ormond, ho will incline to Sir Julius, in spite of his old enmity. He will exact a price for his support; that goes without saying. Sir Julius will be thrown further towards what is termed the -Liberal camp, and will bo obliged to make concessions to Mr Montgomery as well as to Sir George Grey. Mr Ormond will form a party from the Ministerialists and Northern members. Mr Stout and one or two others of the smaller fry will probably disputo tho Premiership with their betters. Altogether it will be a pretty kettlo of fish. Whon a Ministry is formed its duration will bo doubtful. Such a state of things would ob viously bo a public disadvantage. Novor was thero a timo whon a strong Government was. moro desirable.

THE LATE SUDDEN DEATH AND INQUEST.

Tiu; result of the inquiry into tho death of a man, mime unknown, who fell down in an exhausted state uear Mr Buchanan's store and died insido the Waitemata Hotel, was tho verdict, " That tho deceased, name unknown, had died from pulmonary con sumption." The evidence of Dr. Coom, who made a post mortem examination, showed that, deceased -was in a most emaciated con dition ; both lungs wero diseased, and one had collapsed. Tho stomach was com j!le tely empty of food. Ho had no doubt but that deceased died of consumption of long standing. Mrs McGregor, of the Waitemata Hotel, in terested herself in using means to restore thodyingman. ConstableO Bvionproduced a penknife, pencil, a piece of tobacco, a pawn-ticket, and 10.?, which lie found upon deceased, also Mr Brakonrig's note to Mr Graham, tho Relieving Officer. Mr Bloom identified the body as that of the man who had pawned a coat and vest at his office on Monday last for 3s in the name of Young. At the close of the inquest, Dr. Philson, the coroner, advised tho police to take steps at once for the purpose of identi fication of the body. Tho doubts that hnvo arisen regarding tho identity of tho unfortunate man have been sot at rest. This morning Mr Driiry waited on tho police authorities, and informed them that ho believed he knew tho deceased. Accompanied by Deteetivo Walker and a Star reporter, Drury visited tho morgue, and as soon as tho body was shown to him ho said, "Yes, that's Fred Young." Drury informs us that ho know tho doeeased in Duncdin twelve years ago. Jfo was a painter and sign writer, and was known by tho soubriquet of "Fashions." Ho was an oxcoltont tradesman, and was at one timo in the employ of Mr 11. S. Fish, lato M.H.R. for Dunedin Central. Tho docoased was about 32 years of" age at the timo of his death. Ho was a well-informed young fellow, and was believed to be well connected at Homo. At any rate, ho oc casionally received remittances from Eng land through Meslw Sievwright and Stout, of Dnnedin. Ho came to Auckland about seven weeks ago, in the Waitakl, and shortly aftor his arrival lie was mot and recognised by Drury, who on sevoral occa sians sineo has done little kindnesses for

Mr Edward Drury sends us a lottoron tho subject. Ho says the namo of the deceased was Frederick Young, and his ago 32. He states further: I had known him for several years. Ho is well connected, but for the last few years has followed tho vocation of a painter.and paperhanger, as well as sign writer. Ho always claimed to bo tho son of a wealthy manufacturer resident in England, and has to my own knowledge received cash remittances at various times. He arrived here from tho South some ieven weeks since, and has experienced vory hard times, being unable and unfit to work. Somo twelve years since he travelled with mo from Dunodin to Christchurch, over land. Others and myself havo supplied him with the means to obtain the necos saries of life while in Auckland,and 1 strongly urged upon him to go to the Hospital. He assured me he did, and, though evidently in a dying state, was refused admission. He suffered from chronic consumption, and was formerly in the Dunodin Hospital. I last saw him alivo on Sunday morning, and I am certain if the police desire to obtain any information concerning him they can readily do so. In fact, I told Con stable McDonald on tho Queon-stroot Wharf, at 12 o'clock yesterday; tho namo of tho

man, and also tho solicitors in Dunedin whom he, when living, informed mo wero acting for him.

NEW ZEALAND IMAIL ARRANGE " • MENTS.

(BY TKLEfiRAPn—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, this day. Information by the San Francisco majl re r garding New Zealand postal affairs between Sir F. D. Bell, Agent-General, and Mr Fawcett, Postmaster-General, pnly confirm* that already received by cable. The ques. tion of voting a subsidy to the San Francisco nlail service had been before the American Congress, but a hitch had occurred, and now the whole thing is practically shelved for twelve months, It appears that there were two parties in the Congress, one of which was in favour of granting tho subsidy; the other, although not al together opposed to it, was favourable to another system being triad, with the re. suit that tho question lias boon' adjourned until April next, when it is believed that a resolution in favour of the subsidy will bo carried. As tho time when tho subsidy question will bo again before Congress is some months after the existing contract with' New South Wales oxpiros, that colony can, if it wishes, recede from the service, Itis, howevor, considered highly improbable that it will withdraw. The date when tho New Zealand contract expires is Decem ber, next year.

IMPERIAL FEDERATION CONFERENCE

(BY CABLE— COPYRIGHT,)

London, July 30. Tun first meeting of tho Conference or ganised to discuss the advisability of Im perial Federation was held yesterday. Thoro was present a large representative attendanceof colonialand Englishdelogatos. Mr W. E. Forster, late Chief Secretary for Ireland, was appointed Chairman, and in his opening speech urged that the federa tion of the British Empire should be carried out on the principle of perfect equality.

Mr W. H. Smith, M.P., moved a resolu tion setting forth that federation was sssen tial to the permanent unity of the empire. The Karl of lloseberry seconded the motion, but said that he was not in favour of any interference with the local autonomy of tho various parts of the empire. His Lordship suggested that colonial delegates should sit in tho House of Lords.

Mr Stanhope, M.P., moved that a society bo formed for tho furtherance of tho objects of tho Conference. After discussion, both resolutions wore adopted, and it was de cided to appoint a committeo, with Mr Forster as chairman, to carry out tho'de cision of tho meoting. Writing on tho Federation Conference, the " Times " states that, in tho main, it will solve the superficial difficulty ; but tho problem is, will it not diminish local government in tho colonies ? Lord Womyss suggests that the Federation Council shall only compnso tho leading memborß of tho Imporial Cabinet and tho Agonts-Genoral of the various colonies,

INRUEST ON THE BODY OF THOMAS BOYCE.

At tho inquest this afternoon at tho Biicklayors' Arms Hotel, boforo Dr. Philson, on tho body of Thomas Boyco, fatally injured yesterday morning, Wil liam Hollaby, butcher, Shortland-streot, deposed that tho deceased waa in his em ployment as a carter. Ho was about 33 years of age. Was married, and resided in Chapel-etroct. Had been in witness's omployment about 4 years. Mr Hellaby then gave an account of the accident. — John Milvihill saw tho accident in Chan cery-street, and immediately went to hia assistance. Ho died within three minutes of the occurrence. The Coroner considered that as no ribs wero broken, that ft jiost-mortem examination was nocessary, in order to ascertain the exact causo of death, Dr Hustable proceeded to mako a jx>st mortem examination of the body.

A special meeting of the University Council was held Into yesterday afternoon, there being Dreaent : Sir G. M. O'Rorko (Chairman), Colonel Haultain, tho Right Rev. Dr. Cowio (Bishop of Auckland), tho Rev. A. Reid, and the Rev. D. Bruco. At the recommendation of tho Chairman and tho Rev. D. Bruce, who had been appointed to consider the subject, it was resolved to expend £113 upon the construction and fitting up of an additional room to Pro fessor Brown's laboratory. In endorse; ment of other recommendations by tho same Committee, it was resolved—(l) To get a rubber-stamp to stamp the books, also to have a classified catalogue pre pared ; (2) to ask the professors to furnish an inventory of instruments belonging to tho Council; (3) to have £100 placed to the credit of the Council in tho Bank of New Zealand, London, to meet oilers which may be sent by the Council. Tho Chairman mentioned that there was an order from Professor Brown for £50 worth of books to Gilbert and Field, which had been stopped by the Agent-General for re vision. It was resolved to instruct tho firm to send to tho order of Professor Brown.

" Was tho Deluge universal?" formed the subject of an interesting discussion at the Ponsonby Baptist Christian Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association on Tues day evening, the President (Rev. C. Carter) buing in the chair. There was a good at tendanco of members and visitors. Tho Vice-President (Mr J. Hay) opened thn dobate, taking the affirmative side of the subject. He contended that as the Biblical account of the flood asserted, without ambiguity, that tho deluge covered the whole earth and destroyed every living creature thereon, it would be untenable to set up the theory that only the in habited parts of the globe wero sub merged. The sacred narrative was so minute in regard to the construction of the Ark and ite purposes, as well as to the com: mencemenij, duration, and subsjdencp of the deluge, that no logical conclusion could be arrived at but that thoro was a universal inundation. Traditions of this submerge ment wero handed down from generation to generation in almost all parts of the world, including the Sandwjch Islands, Fiji, arid New Zealand, which traditions, to some extent, confirmed what was recorded in tho Book of Genesis concerning it, Messrs Leyland, A. Collins, Allen, and the Chairman argued on £he nega tive sides of the question. Without doing any violence to the sacred narative, there was ground to suppose that the deluge was only local, or in other words, that pnly the inhabited parts of the earth wore inundated. Every living creature had doubtless been destroyed in accordance with the divine mandate, but this could bo ac complished without a universal flood.

To the Editor: Sir,—l notice in last night's Star scintillations that a paroels post is to be established between Australia and India. It is much to be deplored that the Australasian authorities had not Initiated such 3 system nearer home, for I assert, without fear of contradiction, that the pre sent method of* conveying small parcels between New Zealand and Australia ia, simply atrocious? I oould produce for your perusal a mass of letters wherein I am up braided in the strongest possible language for non-dolivery of small boxes weighing 21bs, each. Letters have been published in certain Australian newspapers, the writers warning the readers of those journals not to deal with me, for that I have received their i moneys and never sent the goods, whilst at! the same time the signed shipping notes, some of them six months old, are lying on my files. My Australian trade has been to all intents and purposes murdered by the villainous shipping; companies. — Yourß faithfully, T. B. Hannafohd.

To the Editor: Sir,— Ah ono who listened with some interest to Mr Vailo's lecture on Tuesda/ evening, I should like to mako a few comments thereon. Though agrcoing with Mr Vaile on the necessity for reform, I cannot say that I agroo with him in much olsq. Tho differential rates which Mr Vailo so Bweepingly condemns are, I boliovo, in vogue on all tho beet-managed linos in tho world, and if Mr Vaile understood a littlo moi'o about the subject he would, I dare say, see the necessity for them. For in stance, it would be a manifest injustico if tho Department woro to carry such'a thing as chaff by weight at tho samo rate as grain, considering tho vast "difference "in tho space occupiod by a ton of chaff and a ton of grain. But thore is no use in " chaffing ;" it is quite una-Vail-ing. What we wont is faster trains -and cheaper fares, with a general overhaul of the tariff with a view to simplify it as much as possible and make it intelligible to the public, and making the rates such as to defy competition. One of Mr Vaile's telling facts seemed to bo that goods are carried from hore to Hamilton for less than to Rangiriri, but the competir tion of tbe boats of the river wouldaocount for this. Mr Vaile seemed to me tp exhibit a carping spirit, and scarcely keptfwtthin'the bounds of legitimate criticism, and most thinking people will agree with me that he would perhaps, do better by leaving the railway? to those who understand then} best.—l am, sir, Scrutator. ~, !
