In a review of Mr J. H. Hope's (d Wellington) " Health for tho Maori,"_tho "Saturday Review" romarlts: "It is a little booU which will bo chieily interesting to English reudere, becauso it indirectly throws a good deal of light on the condition of tho nativo population cf New Zealand.

We may doubt whotlior tho strictest attention to cleanliness would save a porisliing race, but Mr Hope's ad vice is none tho lees roo<]. in Itsolf. If tho Maori must dispppor, they may save them selves from much Buffering by giving up practices which produce or aggravate vari ous forms of dUeaso." Major 11. D. A. Cutbill, of the Royal Irish lUllos, who served with distinction through the New Zealand campaign of 18(i3, has boon appointed Brigade-Major on tho staff of Lord A. Huesoll, commanding the troops in Canada. George Augustus Sala, who is soon to be amongst you, lias just issued a volume of very roadublo short atones entitled "Dead Men Tell no Taloß, but Livo Ones Do," as a shilling annual. Those who desire to make acquaintance with his stylo should buy tho book. Jt brims over with tit-bits of odd information. Now South Wales has already formally guaranteed its proportion of responsibility in t! c great exhibition of tho yoar after next. Tho Prince of Wales is mid to bo much pleased with the promptness of this co'ony's reply to his letter. MrGcorgo Ye.soy Stowart'a latest vonturo is "Tho Year Book of New Zealand," a descriptive, statistical, and commercial volumo, edited by himself. The first numbor will appear on the Ist of January, 1885, and will be dedicated to the Aeent- Genoral, Mr W. Pritchard Morgan, a well known colonist, whoso process for extracting gold from the ore has attracted so much atten tion latoly, has started business in London, at No. 1, Quoen Victoria-street, as a general and mining agent. Mr Horatio Komblo. a colonial broker, trading in London as 11. Kemblo and Co., has failed for £50,000. Messrs W, Aehby and Co., the New Zea land passengor ngonts, have just issued a very neat little, handbook showing the various routos for travelling to the colonies, and giving fares, time tables, etc. Tho " Methodist," totting upthenumber of boiia jhle penitents converted at special services and other "times of refreshing" during tho past quarter, announces that no less than sixty six camo from Wellington, Now Zealand. Tho "Family Churchman" gloats over tho success of local option in Auckland, and "looks forward to tho time when tho enlightened citizens of this colonial town ship will show the world a prosperous com munity which has shut up its grog shops and banished Intoxicating liquors." Mr John J. H. White, of Orimsby, who says ho has a party of special emigrants going out to New Zealand por Aorangi, writes to tho " Nonconformist" pointing out that tourists and others wishing to see tho colony have now special facilities offered them in the shapo of an £8 tickot, which allows a passenger to travel all over the colony's railways for six weeks from dato of issuo, N.B.—How would it do to issue distance-tickets on the New Zealand railways as they do in America, say. 100 miles at a time, tho ticket-collector tearing off an many miloa na the passenger had travelled at tho conclusion of tho journey ? Lord McDonald, of tho Isles, who U suffering trom consumption, has just left England for a lengthened tour in Austra lasia. Lady McDonald and her children remain in Skye. Tho Agont Ocneral has not yot selected tho English master for' tho Dunedin High School. On Saturday next he will inter view four of tho most likely candidates, and then, with the holp of Dr. Macdonald, make tho appointment. The following Now Zealand gentlemen have been elected Follows of tho Colonial Institute :—Mr James Goldsmith, Mr David Hean, and Mr W. A. Willes. Mrs W. A. Turpin, tho newly-married wifo of tho commander of K.M.S.S. Aorangi, will accompany her husband to Auckland in tho Aorangi. Tho third part of tho Now Zealand Handbook was published yesterday. I have not soen it yet, but it deals prin cipally with tho variouc tettlomonts throughout tho colony, describing the special featured of oach. Tho Frozen Moat Trade. Tho near approach of the Christmas season and tho colder weather have caused rather a firm tone in tho market for home grown mutton. Frozen meat would doubt -1038 havo participated in tho firmness had it not been for the large quantity which hri3 been distributed through the metro politan market this week. Tho sheep which arc causing tho weakness are part of a cargo which arrived at tho latter end of September, and which tho consignees refused to rw't vi'ith when prices were much higher than at present. Notwithstan ling the present low level of prices, the country trade in frozen meat is not as brisk as might have boon expected. Messrs Ward and Simpson quote tho following as prosont prices :— Now Zealand mutton, 3s 2d to 3s 6d por 81bs ; Melbourne, 3s 2d to 3s Cd per 81bB ; Sydney and River Plate, none offering; Dutch, 2a Sd to 3s 4d per 81bs ;i English, 3s 8d to 4s 4d. Tho Doric's cargo is in first-rate condition, though none of it has as yot boon sold. From "Printer's Dovll" to Legislator. "From 'Printer's devil' to legislator," says ono of tho London dailies, "is tho record of a Dublin man who has rocently boon electod a mombor of the Now Zealand Houso of Representatives. Mr George Fisher was born in Dublin in 1843, and wont to Victoria with his father in 1854. Ho was employed for a short time in the " Age" as a roading-boy, but went to Forguson and .Mooro's office shortly after, whoro ho served his apprenticeship as a compositor. Ho loft Melbourne for New Zealand at tho timo of the oxodua to Otago in 1863, worked at his trade in various parts of that colony, and lastly at tho Govornmont Printing Offico, Wolling ton, in 1870, Mr Fiahor took to nowspaper ■writing, mastered shorthand, bocamo a newspapor roportor, and is now on tho " Hansard " staff. Ho was elected to the City Council in 1877. In 18S1 ho was elected Mayor of Wellington by the citizons. Ho was re-elected in ISS2 and 18S3, tho poll on tlio last occasion boingtho largest over recorded for any Mayor of that city. Mr Fisher's election to Parliament is ono further incident in a most remarkablo career." The London Chamber of Commoreo and Colonial Trade. Tho London Chamber of Commerce is now boginning to interest itself in colonial trade matters. A special trade section is now being organised to deal exclusively with colonial trade interests. Amongst those who have recently become members are Sir F. D. Bell, tho High Commissioner for Canada, and tho Agent-General for St. Aust, N.S.W., Queensland, and the Cape of Good Hopo. Royal Colonial Institute. The second meeting this session of the Colonial Institute took place at the West minster Palace Hotel on the 9th inst., and afforded an opportunity for Mr Baden Powell, M.A., U.M.G., to read an interest ing paper on "National Unity." Lord Dunraven, V.P., occupied the chair, and amongst a large number of Anglo-antipo doans present I noticed Sir William and Lady Fox, Sir Saul Samuel, Mr G. W. Rusdon, Mr T?. Labillero, Mr and Mrs John Stuart, Mr Gilbert Purves, Mr A. Chetham Strode, Mr Alexander Sclanders, and Sir Richard Temple. Emigration of Highland Croftors. Mr Arthur Clayden, who has been sowing letters about New Zealand broadcast through the metropolitan and provincial press during the past six weeks, now writes to the " Times " to point out that the new Catlins River and Waitara homestead settlement in Otago, New Zealand, which Mr Macandrew is at present legalising in your Parliament, forms a grand refuge for the destitute Highland crofters suffering so in Skye, etc. I should have thought these penniless, broken-spirited Highland folk anything but eligible immigrants. It's very well to talk of landing them free at Port Chalmers, but without money, household furniture, tools, &c, how are they (mostly married folk with children, aged parents, <fee.) to erect a homestead and begin life generally? The experiment of exporting destitute families from Ireland to the States has notoriously failed. Those who by hook or crook could do so trickled Home again after a time; those who couldn't died Btarving in unspeakable misery. Arrival of the Doric. On Saturday, December 13th, tho Doric arrived in Plymouth Sound, after a smart jassago of 42 days from New Zealand. She left Port Lyttelton on November Ist, and reached Rio on the 23rd, leaving again ion tho 24th. Madeira was passed on December Bth, on the 13th the vessel roach Plymouth, and docked at Woolwich on the following day. She had on board 10,000 carcases of mutton, which are now being landed in good condition, a general

cargo, 21 saoks of mails, and 113 passen ? The Doric's charter with tho New Zealand Shipping Company has now expired. As soon as slio has discharged her cargo, sho will go to Shaw, Savill'B, who will despatch her to Auckland, Wellington, and Canter bury on January sth. Merino Shoop for London Marmot. It having been suggested that the mutton from tho merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand could, under cortain circum stances, compote Ruccossjully with that of tho ordinary domestic animals, twocarcasos from tho Hock of Mr J. L, Curric, of Lara, were sent Home by tho Liguria and con signed to Messrs Ward and Stimpsouo Tho lattor report that there can bo no question of competition botvveon tho two muttons. Taking tho Lara sheep as a fair average specimen, we find its weight is 721bs.— the leg weighing 7ibs. and tho loin lOMbs. ; while for comparison, in a fair average specimen of a Scotch crossbred sheop weighing SOlbs. the leg weighs 121bs. ami the loin 7Ubs. This extra weight of the Scotch animal means muscle, meat, against superfluous fat in tho Victorian. More especially is this noticeablo in tho log, "which in tho former weighs 121bs and. yet permits of very littlo kitchen wasto, while in that of the Lara animal, weighing only 7Albs, nearly 31ba arc fat. Again, if wo compare the loins, that ot the merino weighs 31bs heavier than the loin of the Scotch fchoep, but this is more than overbalanced by the fact that it is three fourths fat. What is wanted is morejnuscle and loss adipose tissue, more meat and less waste. What is required for the English market is something that will compare with our own crossbred mutton, and there are crossbreds in Victoria and in New Zealand which will fulfil these conditions. Now Zealand and tho Colonial Exhibition. The prompt reply of tho New Zealand Government to the Prince of Wales's letter re tho Indian and Colonial Exhibition of 1886 has givon great satisfaction in Anglo- Colonial circles. I" hear that the Agent- General has been instructed to apply for more space than the 7,100 feet allotted by tho Executive in New Zealand. I think there is ovc-ry chanco of your securing more room, as' it is the desire of the Prince to make every exhibit as representative as it possibly can be of tho colony from which it comes, and the space already allotted allotted sco^s rather inadequate for an im portant colony liko New Zealand. Anothor Special Party for Now Zealand. The indefatigable Mr Arthur Clayden has located himself in Bristol, and is now busy organising a special party for Aus tralia and New Zealand early next year. He has issued a prospectus holding out special inducements to small capitalists, tourists with light purses, young men who wish to learn farming, teachers, lady helps, and small families looking for openings for theirsons and daughters. Someof the special advantages offered by Mr Clayden aro as follow t—A second saloon passage to New Zealand via Naples, Suez Canal, Adelaide, Molbourne and Sydney for £40; informa tion as to whore to settle, and how to invost money, and last,.but not least, " in troduction to Chairman and Secretary of the Wellington and Manawata railway, now in couraeof construction, and helpin securing some of tho tine openings which that im portant enterprise will certainly develop." Major To Wheoro and tho Colonial Office. Before Major To Wheoro decided to ro turn to Now Zealand, he was anxious to learn whether bis premature departure from this country would injuriously affect the decision of the Government on the ques tions raised in tho Maori memorial. Before Te Wheoro sailed, Mr Bran ston, acting on behalf of Lord Derby, addressed a reassuring letter to the chief. Mr Braneton wrote: —"His Lordship desires me to express his regret at the cause which is understood to have obliged you to leave England, and his hope that no lasting ill effects will remain from your sojourn in this country. lam further to state that should a reply from the New Zealand Government bo received previous to your departure to Lord Derby's despatch transmitting the memorial, a copy will be duly communicated to you, but that your absence from England at tho time of the receipt of the roply will not prevent due consideration on tho part of Her Majesty's Government to any statements that may be advanced by the Government of New Zea land." At tho meeting of tho Anthropological Society on December 9th, Sir John Lub bock road an interesting paper on the aborigines of Australia. Your old friond Jem Maco, " champion pugilist of the world," is" announced to appear at the Royal Aquarium next week, when ho will exhibit his various cups, belts, and trophies. Departure of Mr Thomas Spnrgeon. On tho 12th December, Mr Thomas Spur geon left Plymouth in the Orient liner Liguria, on his way back, to New Zealand, via Tasmania. He is accompanied byMr H. Driver, a young Anglo-New Zealander, who camo over to England to be trained in Rpurgeon'a Pastors' College. His course of study being now completed, he re turns to New Zealand to take up the ministry. On the 9th of Docember the annual meeting of tho Pastors' College was held, and the opportunity was token of giving Pastor Thomas Spurgeou a farewell. Tho meeting took place m the Metropolitan Tabernacle, and the enormous building was crowded. Mr C. H. Spurgeon opened the proceedings, and after speeches from the principal of the college and others, Mr Driver rose, and expressed his thankfulness at having come under Mr Spurgeon's influence in the college. He had been drawn across tho sea by tho world-renowned namo of tho greatest proacher of the nineteenth century (hear, hoar), and, liko the Queen of "Shoba, ho could say, "The half was not told mo" (hear, hear, and laughter). Mr Thomas Spurgcon was then introduced by his unclo, Mr James Spurgoon, and was received with choers again and again ronewed. After the cheering had subsided, Pastor Thomas found his voico, and bogan with a story of how, twenty years ago, a number of colonial celebrities on board a little steam ship at a Now Zealand port were discussing the influence of Mr Spurgeon. One described h i iii as a mountebank, another as course and vulgar, another as unlearned and illiterate. Oae man at the ond of the chorus of con demnation simply quoted from memory a passage from one of tho early New Park street pulpit sermons, and tho passengers ono by ono owned that thoy were in the wrong in the epithets that they had applied. What took place on board that vessel—a complete revolution and reversal of feeling —had takon place in the whole of- the colonies, more gradually, but not less successfully, on the subject of Mr Spur geon. (Hear, hear.) He himself had received moro kindness than he could tell of, and most enthusiastic welcomes, because he bore his father's name. There had been at first a suspicious feeling as to the men sent out from the Col lege to the colonies, and certainly tho first cargoes were not as good as the last (laugh ter), but that was wearing off or had worn off. The feeling about both Mr Spurgeon and his students was now something like that expressed to the speaker by tho gar dener of a New Zealana friend with whom he had been staying. . "I've brought Mr Spurgeon to see you," said his friend to the old gardener. " Ah," said the latter, " I know the real Spurgeon ; there's no hum bugging about him." (Loud laughter.) That was not very complimentary to me, but it expressed the general idea. Pastor Thomas then proceeded to say that he had been instrumental in the erection of five tabernacles in New Zealand (hear, hear), and that for his new tabernacle just about to bo opened he had ootained £2,500 during his present visit. _ (Hear, hear). But it had made him a terrible money-grubber, all that begging Ho had not got"all he wanted yet—but did they ever know a Spurgeon who had ? In thanking all his friends for gifts and kind nesses, he mentioned that from his father he he had received a gift that he specially cherished—the Bible from which his father used to preach in the Now Park-street Chapel. It had boon re-gilded and titivated up, and looked as good as new, except at those passages which his father used to thump so vehemently. He had that night got his text for his opening sermon in his new tabernacle: " One Lord, qne faith, one baptism." The address was con cluded by a pathetic farewell, the final prayer of " God. bless you " being echoed by many voices from the area of the tabernacle. Another short speech from Mr C. H. Spurgoon, and the proceedings terminated. Departure of Mr Horton. Mr A. G. Horton, of the " New Zealand Herald" and "Anglo-New Zealander," and Master C. Horton, wore through passengers for Auckland per Orient steamer Liguria. I fear the "Anglo-New Zealander" is proving an expensive experiment for -Mr Horton and Mr Reed, but as a thoroughly well compiled summary of Anglo-Colonial intelligence, it reflects great credit upon them, and should finally settle the question as whether euch a journal will ever pay.
