"Australia's Artist," as Mr Nicholas Chevalier is sometimes called, has just finished a largo and highly dramatic picture called " Buddha " for exhibition at the Roy.al Academy next year. A Now Zealand agent attended the great Yorkshire horse-fair held at Howden last week, and made large purchases of cart and plough horses on behalf of a syndicate of Canterbury farmers. The animals are to be shipped by the first available opportunity. Mr W. M. Maskell, F.R.M.S., sends "Nature" along and interesting account ot the scale insects of New Zealand. To get rid of this pest Mr Maskell suggests cutting down all infected trees ; but before proceeding to such an extreme "Nature" thinks kerosene ehould be tried. The Hon.

Shipping and Passenger Notes.

The N.Z.S. Co.'s Tongariro, homeward bound, passed Rio on the 22nd September. Messrs Shaw, SaviU's Coptic, s., with 23,000 carcases frozen mutton, is expected at Plymouth to-day or tomorrow. Tho Cunard Company aro determined not to lose the caningo of the American, Australian, and N.Z. mails. On Saturday last they launched a new stoel liner of 8,000 tons and 12,100 horse-power, which will cross tho Atlantic within nix days. The vessel was christened tho " Etruria" by tho Duchess of Manchester. Tho trial trip of tho Union Company's now steamer Kaikoura will take place on the 10th prox. (October). The Now Zealand homeward mails have, on tho last two occasions, boon brought across the Atlantic by the North German Lloyds Imperial mail steamors. An Auck land gentleman, who crossed in one of them—the Eider, says thoy aro moro than equal in accommodation, fittings, and ap pointments to any of the English liners, and very speedy, but that tho food is terribly German, i.e., plenty of grease, garlic, and saucr kraut. The Cunard s.s. Oregon recently made a most noteworthy round voyage. She left Queenstown on August 17th, at 3.21 p.m., and completed the trip to New York and back (a total distance of 5,701 miles) in 12 days 21 hours and 34 minutes. The P. and 0. s.s. Mozapore, which left London on Wednesday, takes the following through passengers to Auckland :—Mrs Thomas and 2 Misses Thomas.

The following pasßcngors havo been booked per s.s. Coptic since last mail : — Mr 8. Adam, Miss Salter, Mr, Mrs, and Miss White, Mr Eobert Wilson, and H. C. McElwain.

Tho nsn-arrivul of the Coptic is causing a little anxiety in the city just now. She loft Rio 23 days ago, and has not boon heard of since. Tho delay may bo caused by the refrigerating engines taking more steam than they ought, as the vessel has 23,000 carcases on board but fears are entertained that hlio has broken down, as her voyage to Rio was not longer than usual.

Te Wbeoro at Clapham.

On Tuesday afternoon I went down to Clapham to pay a visit to Major Te Wheoro and see how ho and Skidinore wero getting on by themselves. I was shown upstairs, and found both of them asleep—tho Major in an armchair, Skidmore on a sofa. After listening for wmc minutes to the snoring of the pair, I awoke Skidmoro, who soon roused tho Major from his after-dinner nap. The Major was very glad to Bee a vinitor, for except Mr Spencer, hardly any body over calls on them, and was coon busily engaged in asking a series of ques tions about the Ministerial crisis in the colony. After laughing heartily at the rarious changes of Government, the Major famished me with his ideas on all the principal colonial topic?, and also told me the history of his political career. Since tho King and the rest of the party re turned, the Major and Skidmore have been very dull; they find tho quiet life in Clap ham a great change after the continual bußtle of Montague Place. For a week or so after their removal, Te Wheoro wa Buffering from a bad cold, and placed "im self in the doctor's hands. Ho has got better lately; but tho climate, I am afraid, docs not agree with him, and he still coughs frequently. Mrs Graco kindly invited tho Major and Sbidmoro down to Rickmansworth last *eek, and they epent threo very pleasant days there. This is tho only " dissipation they have had during the pact month, if I except an occa sional visit to Mr? Saintsbury's for letters, or a trip to tho city for shopping purposes. Tho pair spend the groater part of their time in dozing on sofas, or walking about the quiet Btreets near them, the Major oc casionally varying this by reading his Maori Bible and spelling out the explanations of the pictures in a book of "Bible Stories for Children," presented him by Miss Weale. Mr Grove, the Secretary of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, has ex pressed his intention of presenting them with a lot of books, but they have not yet arrived. The other day a letter was re ceived from Hori, posted at Port Said, in which he said the King and all his suite were well and happy. The Major is very comfortable in his apartments, but I must say I pity the poor fellow having to stay in England during November and December with only the companionship ot the faithful Skidmore.

Tho Australian Cricketers.

"Truth" sayst — "There are three features of the. Australian play which stand out prominently — Spofforth's bowling, Bonnor's hitting, and Black ham's wicket-keeping. If we claim that Sherwin, and perhaps Pilling, are tho equal of Blackham behind the sticks, we must cheerfully admit that we have not—and, what is more, never had—so deadly a fast bowler as Spofforth, or bo mighty a sloggtr as Bonnor, with whom even Thornton in his best days could not have compared for an instant. In the matter of general batting, however, we more than hold our own, for good as Murdoch is, he does not equal several of our cracks. Mc- Donnell, however, deserved special mention as a splendid specimen of a very valuable and rather rare typo of batsman."

Worships on Colonial Stations.

For some time past the "Pall Mall Gazette" has been publishing a series of articles that Britainna no longer " rules the waves," that any of the great Foreign Powers could easily tackle us at sea. In the course of one of those articles the writer remarks:—"On the Australian station, where our trade is £102,000,000 per annum, we have the Neleon, a powerful second class ironclad, oight years old, of 7,630 tons, with Oin. armour and four 18-ton guns. On tho Pacific station we have the Swiftsure, a fourteen-year-old.second-class ironclad, (5,910 tons, with Sin. armour, and ten 12-ton guns, as against the third-class French ship Reine Blanche, 3.650 tons, 6-iri. armour, carrying 6 8-ton guns; so that although the French have ten vessels carry ing 50 guns in the Pacific, and four carry ing thirteen guns in Australian waters, we are in those regions safe as against the French •, but we could not face the Chilian ironclads without reinforcements. On the North American Btation, where our trade amounts to £200,000,000 a-year, we have the Northampton, an eight-year-old second class ironclad of 7,360 tons, with four 18-ton guns and Oin. of armour; and as no other Power has any ship that could face this vessel, our interests may be re garded safe in that region. On the south east of America, where our trade is over £45,000,000 per annum, we have no iron clad ; the Amethyst is our best ship, and tho ironclad that Sir W. G. Armstrong has just despatched to the Brazil Government, constructed from stem to stern in two years, could sweep every ship off the station, with out any serious risk to itself. At the Cape and West African stations we have the Boadicea, an unarmoured iron-screw cor vette, carrying sixteen guns, but twice the size of the best French ship on the station, Tho French have 13 ships with 42 guns, as againßt 9 ships of our squadron carrying 64 guns.. On the East Indian station, where our trade, including that which pa?sos through the Suez Canal, is £239,750,000 per annum, Admiral Hewett in the Euryalus has a force of 11 ships carrying 78 guns, as against 10 French ships with"67 guns. The net result of this survey is that only on the Australian and North American stations have we an incontesta.ble superiority over any enemy that we could encounter. On the Pacific we have a better ironclad than the French, but it is not better than any single ship in the Chilian navy. On the east coast of America we could not hold our own against Brazil. Neither on the East Indian or African station have we an ironclad, although on both ours is the pre ponderating force. Only on the Chinese station are we hopelessly outnumbered and overpowered; but that exception, consider ing the state of affairs in the far East, and the immensity of our interest in those parts, is serious indeed."

THE SUEZ MAIL

[PekT. and O. Co.'s R.M.S. Mibzapobe.]

A Letter from the Mnndl.

Tub Indian native paper "Surreya" publishes an extract from a letter addressed lately by the Mahdi to the Ulema of Medina, in which he asks them to pray on the Prophet's tomb for the triumph ol his cause. The letter was written in the Turkish language on parchment, and en closed in a wooden box sealed with lead. The passage quoted by the " Surreya " runs thus :—" I exchanged the study of the Holy Scripture for the life of a soldier because Archangel Michael appeared to me in a dream and commanded me to do bo, and because I hoped to-free my native land, which but a century ago was the strong hold of Islam, from the yoke of the Christians and of their creature Te'wfik, the son of Ismail. Your Bervant never intended to raise his sword against the Caliph Abdul Hamid,ortofightagainetthefaithful. Incase tho Prophet-should help youi? servant to conquer Egypt.he will be ready to recognise the Caliph's supremacy and to send a tribute to Stamboul. May the councils of the Caliph consider this before they send an army against me, and cause the faithful to shed each other's blood. Urge them to abstain from a campaign against me."

A. Survivor of General Hiokss Army.

The correspondent of the " Standard " at Cairo says that he had a long conversation yesterday with the first man who has arrived at' Cairo claiming to have been pre son tat General Hicks's defeat and General Gordon's arrival at Khartoum, as well as the taking of Berber by the Arabs: —" He is (the correspondent says) a young Greek §uin-inerchuut, aged 23, and went up to the oudan with his brother-in-law six years ago, He was then named Coßti Muskos, bat was re named- Abdullah by the Mahdi when be, with 27 other Europeans, ex clusive of priests and Bisters, orabraced the faith of lclnin. -He was present when the Mahdi first took Khartoum fromMahommed Said. On that occasion the Mahdi's first attack was repulsed with severe lose, but he withdrew, and finally starved out the garrison. When the Mahdi heard that Hicks Pasha was coming, he sent Abdul Halim instructions to follow closely in his track, under pretence of being Jriendly.' General Hicks more than once wished to attack this band, which was following him, and intercepting his com munications, but Ala-iddin refused. The account Muskos gives of the battle of Kaehgil coincides fairly well with those already received. The fight began on a Saturday evening with heavy firing by Hicks's force on Halim's men, who were ambushed in the woods. The rebels lost few men, but their fire on the Egyptian army in the open was deadly. The firing continued throughout Sunday and during the night, and the general assault was mado on Monday morning. The Egyptian troops, starved and thirsty, had no fight left in them, and were simply massacred. The Mahdi went out without cannon, and with about 15,000 irregulars, but was joined by many more in the course of tho tight. The Mahdi haß torn up all doeu monts of which he has become possessed. The narrator stayed a short time at Obeid as the Mahdi's servant, and he still wears a very curious patch work livery of the Mahdi's under his white dres?. He obtained permission to go on leave, and reached Khartoum in 13 days, just four days before Gordon's arrival. When General Gordon came in, the town was illuminated in his honour, and he and his friends gave an entertainment, to which Mr Frank Power came, and at which he danced and sang. Muskos left 15 days after General Gordon's arrival, and telegraphed back from Shendy and Berber that the road was then free, but dangerous. He gives a ghastly description t>f the massacres which took place on the capture; of .Berber, the rebels sparing very lew, They have, he

says, fortified the bank of the river with four guns from Suakim, manned-by-old Egyptian gunners." Atrocities at Mozambique. J; : Tho "Bombay Catholic ExaminorJ> pub lishes tlie following from a missionary at Qullimnne:—"You will have teafht by telegram of the insurrection that ha 3 broken out in the province of Mozambique. ; Mopea was the first of our stations, in danger. The lay brother whom I had sent there to take charge of the mission house after the death of Father Vesteneck was forced to flee with the commandant and the rest of the Portu guese inhabitants. In Messengeri the col lector was slain by his own people. The authorities thought they could easily quell the insurrection by presenting the insur gents with a few pieces of cloth and bottles of brandy. The Capitao-mor bethought himself of erecting palisades for greater security, and sent out to engage work men. Some violence seems to have been used in impressing these labourers into service, and hence the outbreak.. The captain -with his wife and child, another officer and 30 men, were surprised during the night and killed. The negroes returned to their ancient savage customs of- war. They cut out the hearts of their murdered victims, and the child of tho captain wm thrown alive into the fire. The insurrection soon spread. Everywhere the same scenes were enacted ; the Portuguese were mas sacred, their houses pillnged and burtit. No wonder that the captain of Mopea, with the Portuguese and hia garrison of flye-nieh should have taken to flight. T!ie Governor- General of Mozambique has come with j corvette and 70 men. Theso troops, .with some 400 negroes engaged by private people, are expected to quell the insurrec tion." .. -■ Tbo Pope on the Cholera In Italy, It has been known for some time that ihe danger of cholera had induced the Pope to address a remarkable letter to his SeoretAiy of State, Cardinal Jacbbini, mmounoiEg his resolutions in case the epidemic should reach the Eternal City. The "Fretndeo blatt" gives the text of the letter,- the translation of v Inch is as follow s : —" Signer Cardinal, — The dreadful scourge of tha Asiatic malady, which first appeared among theneighbouring French nation, has invaded many parts of Northern and Southern Italy. Though it crept in slowly, and still creeps along slowly, it has brought ruiE'and destruction to the populous town of Naples. Providence has to this day accorded its special protection to the town of Rome by saving it from that scourge. We have thanked, and continue Bla thank, God, with a full heart, for Hi meroy, and we raise our voices aud handa to the Father of all Mercies for that, at tha mediation of the exalted Virgin and tha glorious patron saints, He has kept this scourge from our homes. But on account of the many wrongs which excite the dis/ pleasure of Divine justice, and on account of the nearness of the places affected by th» illness, we are not without anxiety for pur town, to which we are attached by special lovo. We find it, too, impossible to remain indsfferont in tho face of the danger. Wa turn, therefore, with this letter to you, in order to inform you of our intentions, and to charge you with the accompiiehnießt of them. We know that with JemT ' and prudent foresight measures, rb&va been taken by those at the head .of public affairs that tbo epidemic, if it really should make its appearance, should not find the town unprepared. We,, too, animated by the wish to be prepared for the help of our beloved people of Home, have decided to open a great hospital, and to maintain it at our cost, and, moreover, in the neigh bourhood of the Vatican, becauso in thlj way it will be easy for us to visit those attacked by the ill,and console them. This hospital will be destined more especially for the quarters of tho town nearer tO;\UBi like that of tho Borgo and Trastevere. Our will is that the administration of it should be confined to ourmajordomo ami tliediree- - tion of it to the twoemineivt medical men, Pro-, fesor Alexander Cecarelli and Dr. Raggaro Valentin. Difficult as our present position is, yet confiding in Divine Providence and in the magnanimity of the Catholic world, we destine for this purpose the sum of ono million francs. It will be your task, Siguqr Cardinal, that this our will, inspired] by that Christian love which, following tbo example of that Divine Master, gives ite life for its brethren, is carried out injth* moat useful and satisfactory manner. If then, which God forbid, the scourge should take root amongst us too, and things get worse, we reseive to ourselves, as far aa possible, an opportunity to dispose likewise of our Late ran Pontifical Palace. Receive in the meantime, as a pledge of our sinoere, attachment, onr apostolic blessing.: From*; the Vatican, September 10, 1584.— Leo,-Jy
