SIR WILLIAM FOX AT THE BAPTIST TABERNACLE.

Tn f.rf. was a very large gathering last even in" in the abovo building on tho occasion of

Sir William Fox delivering an address upon the a-peot of tho temperance action in the various countries that he had visited during iiis late trip to tho old country. .. ba uddrefP was delivered under the auspices, of the Gospel Temperance Mission, ». during tho evening a collection was taken up in aid of the funds of that organisation. Tho -'hair waa occupied by the Bex- r. Spur»ciin On tho platform were tho tol lnw-in'-''" •-enUc-iv.en:-Uovs. Hamor and Oe.i-r, and Mc,s »-m b\ Battley, Theo. Cooper, U. isealj R.. B. Bl.aUlera, T. Garhcfe.J. New man, and A. Cox. A hymn waa sung, oltoi which tho Rev. MrUarr engaged in prayer, The Chairman, in introducing the speaker, said ho was in a position which ill became him, for if he spoke too long ho would ho occupying the time ot a better man. He had, however, much pbaso.ro m welcoming him a"am to tho colony, Ho hoped thai; .11.3 roturn would bo fur the benefit of the colony. Ho was glad that tho add roes was tel bo delivered in that building, and hoped that they would not hesitate to applaud the speaker if thoy wirf.cd.- Ho also apologised for the absence of tho 11-.v. S. Macftvrlano through ill-health. t-ir WHliam Fox, on coming iorwarti, was received with loud applause. Ha said that it was with very great pleasure that lie again addressed an Auckland nudieneo. He ex ,n-"scH o satisfaction at seeing such a beauti ful building an that in which the address war. doiiveted He trusted that the work of -diction and temperance would progress ''11 tho building. He intended to give them some idea of tho progress of tho temperance cau^a in the countries that he has! visited. Win 11 ho first resided in Auckland. 20 years ago, thoy could not havo got. over CO or /() people together to IM-ini to v tompeianoo nddrosß. When ho arrived in Plymouth thoro was lying before his 0y...-. a beautiful park, and it wis on that, very ground that Sir J'laneis Drake was (laying bowls, when tho news arrived that Iho groat Armada Wtn romim;, nnti alter boating iho game ho went ana beat too Spaniatds. Upon approaching the thoro they found it tilled with people, and ho learned that it was a (emporatice demonstration, and later iv tho day ho was informed that ho must give an address, which he did, and during tho wholo of his visit ho had been expooted to address meetings in various parts of tho country. The result had been that during thai, timo ho mot many great temperance leaders. Amongst these woro Bitch men nsCanons Wilborforcoand Farrar, Rev. Charles Garrett, Sir Wilfred Lawson, Josoph .Barker, and Paloy Lewis, and from these lie was able to learn tho progress that the temperance work had made in Englaud. Ho had boon informed that, in ton years the total abstainers had increased by thrco fourths. Before then thochurohes had been sadly behindhand, but- now the temperance cause erected its head amongst tho churches. At ono time I lie ehurehos scarcely had any temperance organisations amongst them, but now things were much different, for they woro now organising among them selves. This had naturally caused somo other outside institutions to decrease some what. Thoro was ono movement, however, that had sprung up and spread wonderfully : ho alluded to tho Blue Ribbon Army (upplauso), which had given it wonderful impetus to religion and tomporanco Ono good feature was that tho Gospel Tempor anco movement recognised tho power through which it meant to conquer. With regard to tho legislative aspect of the quod-ion, he was glad to say that thoro had also been a marked improvement. Father Matthew had admit toil thai; it needed legislation to give proper stability 10 the teiiipcraucomovcmonfc. ihe United Kingdom Alliance attended to that depart ment;. Their object v.aa, and should bo, the ■.b-olitte annihilation of the liquor tr.diic. Tho Alliance had succeeded three times in four years in getting tho Houso o£ Commons to admit that it was ntces.-ary to legislate in that direction. On (he third occasion tho Government voted with Sir Wilfred Lawson. Parliament had now committed itself to the expressed opinion that Ihe peoplo should havo the power of prohibition. Still, owing to foreign wars and Ihe Irish question, nothing had been dono except passing tho resolution. A general election was, however, approach ing, and tho liquor question would be re garded us a tobfc ono. Ho believed that a sop would bu gkon in tho shape of Local Option, similar to that enjoyed in the colony, but ho thoughts that tho parties would not accept that us satisfactory. That represented tho position of thy. question in Great Britain. The Sunday Closing Bill had proved an immense success in Ireland, having reduced tho labours of tho police materially, lie found that thero was a division in the tomporanco camps in Bog luml one party only wanting limited power for tho Elective Lieonsing Bench. Of course, ho \v;as soon asked how this hud succeeded in Wow Zealand. He had replied that ho was eorry to say the experiment had been ;>. melancholy failure, lie told thorn that they had possesvod tho law for four years, and still they had over 2,000 drink shops in the country, and ;>t that lime only ono public-house had been closed. At that rate it wouldtakoG.tiOOyears befoio the wholo woro swept away, Auck land hud returned tomporunce men ou the Licensing Benches, but oven they had only closed eight or nine hotels. Ho considered that tho Act was v failure, as it was supposed to give tho peoplo (ho power to suppress public-houses. In Wellington, whoro one in seven woro tho "bit of bluo," only ono tomporanco man had been returned, and him tho publicans voted for, saying that ho was "a jolly good follow," l.i Cliristchurchithad boon decided fco swoop away .twelve houses, but tho resolve had never been carried out. In Dunedin, public spirit appeared dead upon tho matter, and in somo instances tho Government had been compelled to appoint commissioners, because the peoplo would not take tho trouble to voto. He must say that ho could not sufficiently admire tho tactics of tho Auckland Committee, because they considered that thoy had gone aa far as public opinion would permit. Still, in Maine, tho Government had acted with great promptitude, and tho results had been vory satisfactory, but only after n struggle that lusted over livo years. Now, for thirty yoars tho drink had not boon sold in Maine, I lo should liko such laws passed hero. There wa», at present, a forvency and determination in tho tomporanco movement in England. There the Press assisted, not tho political, but, their own Then thero was tho B lids of tlopo, which published and circulated in numerable tracts, dealing fairly with the whole question. He would advocate tern peianco lecturers and literature to forward the movement in the colony, They had heard in Now Zealand Richard Booth and Messrs Glover and Burnottand Mrs Burnett, who all assisted tho good causo. lie hoped that they would jot havo Sir Glover as the active agent of tho Now Zealand Allianco. He visited Goltcnberg nnd Stockholm in company with 130 representatives from Eng land of tho American Independent Order of Good Templars. The temperance work in Scandinavia (that included Sweden, Norway, and Denmark) was perhaps the most interesting in tho world. Every farmer was allowed to distil with out licci.se, and as a consequence every farmer nnd nearly all their men were continually drunk. Things at length got so had that, about 3i> yoars ago, privato distilling was prohibited, and as a result thoy had now become ono of tho soberest races in the world: Thoy had also the Local Option powers, and tho Gottcnberg experiment, which had cut down tho publio houses by two thirds. Bub tho latter system was not commendable, because it made ovory ratepayer it part-owner in tho public houses. He feared that if County Councils woro allowed tho power to grant liconsos, thou tho numbtr of hotels would bo increased. About six years ago, a young man named Oscar Elkeint intro duced tho various temperance orders into Sweden, and the result had been marvel lous. There were now no loss than 30,000 Good Templars alone. Their party was racst warmly welcolmed upon arriving in Gottouberg, and when thoy reached Stock holm over 2,000 peoplo were waiting at tho railway station, und thov found that apartments had been provided in a grand hotel free of cost. Next, tho Parliament Houso was placed at then disposal to hold thoir meetings by the King. On the iollowiiig Sunday sorvie'o was held iv a largo park, and ovor 10,000 people marched out with thorn. The whole visit wa? mo3t interesting, nnd leit a most agreeable impression on the minds of tho visitors. They were a quiot, upright, steady, courteous people. He' next visited Christiana, the capital of Norway,' and they held a largo meeting in v drill shed, which lasted until lialf-paat twelve 0 clock. Their Scandinavian experiences were certainly most interesting. On the 3rd of September ho visitod Quebec, in ofuor to see tho great Dominion of Canada. Eive years ago a great discussion arose in tho Parliament of that country upon tho workings of the " Maino Liquor Law," «hey sent a commission of throe, com posed of an out-and-out abstainer, an oppositionist, and a man of no colour, after caroful investigation, they came back unanimous that tho law was an immense success, and tho result waa that

the local option law was^allowed the people j - a law which empowc. "^'ie people them selves tc say whether • - ..ot hotels should exist in certain districts. Three commis sioners were then appointed for the whole of Canada, and granted or refused licenses as they thought" fit. But if a poll was do mandod, a majority of ono overruled the powers of the commissioners, and forbade them issuing another license for three years. Tho result was that in numerous counties and cities the liquor traffic had been snuffed out. Never yet had the decision of the abstainers been reversed at the end of the ensuing three years. This Act was doing an immense amount of good, but still the feeling was spreading that the prohibition theory of Maine was the best. It was intended to attack Toronto shortly. They worked systematically by means of committees, who canvassed tho town before the poll was demanded. What could bo dono in Canada could surely be done in New Zealand, In the United States;, the question had got into a com plicated state, owing to the various parties. 'J.T.O Republicans) professed to support the temperance movement, but that party wanted also to secure tho votes of the torn peraneo representatives on other matters. I'his bad caused a split, and tho result was that tho lots of the temperance vote threw out Mr Blame, und caused the return of President Clovoland. A iaw had also been passed that in tho Stato Schools efficient temperance teaching should be given to the children, and in some States a penalty was inflicted for non-compliance with that law. This ho hoped would yet produce grand results. Yet, after all, undoubtedly home was tho place to thoroughly teach the tem perance principles. Ho then concluded by thanking the audience for their kind alien lion. Mr Theo, Cooper moved that a hearty vote of thanks bo accorded to Sir William Fox for his interesting address. Ho also expressed a hope that Sir William Fox would again take a part, in the legislation of the country. Tho motion was carried with applause. In responding, tho speaker said that ho I was quito ready to assist the temperance movement. Thoy must take for their motto, "In hoc sigtio vincis." Ho had almost decided that at his timo of lifo ho was better out of the Parliamentary arena; still he had not absolutely de cided to never again tako up a Parlia mentary career. If ho saw clearly that a party could be returned strong enough to put tho finishing touch to tho liquor traffic, ho would certainly assist. A vote of thanks was thou accorded, on tho motion of Mr Newman, to the Chairman and tho deacons of tho Baptist Church for tho uso of tho building. Tho meeting then separated after the Benediction had been pronounced by tho Chairman,

SALA ON DICKENS AND THACKERAY.

Mil Gko. Auoostus SAT.A delivered last night, before a crowded assemblage in the Choral Hall, his second lecture in Auck land, tho subject of it being Dickens and Thackeray, the two great novelists with whom he has been most intimately asso. ciated. Mr Sala was received with a burst of warm applause, which ho duly acknow ledged. He said that ho wished, that evening, to talk to his audience as earnestly ua possible, und us simply us ho could, of two illustrious piinces of tho pen, who were loved and revered wherever tho Anglo-Saxon tongue was understood. Ho did not proposo auy analytical criticism of thoir works, for that had already been dono in most masterly btyiu, even were no not aware that tho best judges wore the peoplo at large. Ho merely dosigned to stutu his experiences of the two great Ktiglin.li novelist* of this century. Tho chiefvutuoof Dickens was tuuthohadgivon us what the British people hud long beou yearning for iv vain, viz., the prose epic, the novel cf human lifo, the romance of daiiy existence, ilia predecessors in this lielii haa marred their work by their vul garity, and Dickens was the first to give us a series of romances faithful to nature, and which we could take into tho family circle and placo beforo our female rolatio, Tho Leturor went on with a rapid hand to sketch the great novelist's cheerless early life, pointing out that Dickons himself was tho original of his own admirable creation—little David Cop perlield—und that his father's personality was embodied iv that individual of sanguine lemperamout and thriftless disposition— Wilkins Micawbcr. In the course of his career as a newspaper roportor ho collected tho materials for his voluminous portrait gallery of fiction, and by his indomitable will iio mado himself a master in thodillicult artol ohurtuund writing. He (Mr Sala) attributed in a largo measure Dickens's magnificent command of tho .English language, and his terse, clear nervous stylo of composition to his practice of following assiduously and conscientiously tiio Parliamentary speeches ol the day. In that time thero wcro giauts iv the land—orators of tho first order. . It

was the day uf Brougham, Peel, Lord John Russell, LordPalmorsion, Lord Derby, sheil, Mucuulay, and O'Oonnell, than whom better masters oi Anglo-Saxon spoech could not be desired. Dickens's maiden effort in the real oi liction was his '' Sketches by Boz," wiiicli appealed in tho " Evoning Chronielo" and took tho literary world ot London by storm. "Pickwick" was written to order as the accompanying letterpress to a series of comic sketches illustrative of tho foibles and eccentricities of a Cockney sportsman. Seymour, the artist, died before tho work was comploto, and amongst the applicants tor the vacancy, was a tall young man, with gold mounted spectacles, who, fresh from the Louvre, called upon Dickens to show him a portfolio of humourous sketshes aa proof of his skill. Dickens, never a good judge of art, did not think these artistic efforts would suit, and so the tall young man who was afterwards to be known as William Makopoaco Thackeray— not the rival, but tho powerful compeer of Dickens as a prince of the pen—went his way dis appointed, and "Phis '" received tho ap pointment. Dickens never undertook a work of fiction without a deep un derlying purpose to it. That ol " I'ickwick " was to outer a strong indictment against tho cruelties practised in the prisons for unfortunate debtors, and ; uio fruit of his efforts was shown in the fact that not ono of thoso infamous dons now ex ists. In '• Bcutloy's Miscellany " Dickeuu wrote " Oliver Twist," a book unequalled for its tragic force since Fielding published his "Jonathan Wild." In it ho toie down tlio veil screening low life in Loudon, and showed' its vice, misery, and prolligacy. The purpose of ike book was to expose tho iniquitous effects of tho new poor law, under which the pauper was re garded and treated as a criminal, and the effect was to vory considerably ameliorate its provisions, 110 first mado Dioaoiis'sacquaintaneooO years ago, and ho was then an eminently beautiful man, botidod being one of tho mashers of tho opuch. Only one man as hand6oiuo as joungMr Dickens had he ovor seen, and that ono wan Longfollow.tho American poet. ''.Nicholas Mickluhy " sealed the doom of those wretched Yorkshire schools, where uiilortunato children were taken in and literally dono for, and it also showed what was tho white slavery of the sempstresses lie in London. Do could not forgive Dickens for killing his lovablo little children of liction, as for instance, "Littlo ■Nell," "Paul Dombcy," and " Poor Jo." It was wanton. " Bayiaby Rudgo " afforded opportunity for describing tho "No Popery " riots of 17S0. The lecturer went on to refer to Dickens's other works, spoko ot his own connection with him, and do scribod tho great man's private life. He did not shine us a conversationalist, but ho was so good as a public speakor that had he entered Parliament ho would have at tained distinction as an orator. As for Thackeray, his most striking personal peculiarities wore his very tall stature and his chorub face, with its flat nose smashed in a school fight. For many years lie remained iv obscurity, although his writings over various pseudonyms wero pmo" 3, Witll tho publication of " Vanity Fair, however, secresey becamo no longer possiblo, aiid ho rose at a bound to the height of popular favour. He was not, like Dickens, a word-painter, but he was inimit aolo us a philosophical novelist-aa an analyst and oisscetor of tho human heart. Dach waa unsurpassed in his own lino, and those lines ran parallol. Thackeray was a poor speaker, but that was immaterial in view of his brilliant genius as a novelist lie himself thought " Tho Neivcomes" to bo his greatest work, and so, too, it would have been, and perhaps also in the whole range of faction had not. another Colonel Newcorao been delineated by an older novelist-tho Colonel Kowcomo better known as the Don Quixote of Cervantes. Personally, Ihackoray was thoroughly lovablo. ; A kinder and more compassionate man he never know. In ono instance he left, unobsoi'vod, upon tho mantelpiece of an im poverished sick room wherein a poor brother of tho pen lay dyng, a box of sovereigns labolled, " These pills to bo takon as ofton as necossary." Broken by domestic sorrow, ho camo at last to his death at Christmas time, 186t, leaving, like Dickens, his work unfinished, and having dowered his country with works that will live as long as the language in which thoy wore written—

ALL GOODS MARKED IN PLAIN FIGURES. o><» G-. W. BEtfSHA.'W, Secretary for the Auckland Drapery and Clothing Company, LIMITED, QUEEN STREET. B*BW ZEALAND FROZEN MEAT & STORAGE COMPANY, LIMITED. QAPITAL, £200,000; CALLED UP, £100,000. DIRECTORS: A. Bull, Esq. j D. L. Murdoch, Esq. J. Banks, Esq. L. D. Nathan, Esq. P. Comiskev, Esq, j How. J. Williamson. Sib B*. Whitaker, K.C.M.G. The Company begs to notify to tho public that tho works at Auokland nnd tho Waitara have now been completed, and constitute the most oxtonsivo Moat-prosorving and Freez ing Worke in New Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT li now open at tho Company's Works at the Railway Wharf, whore Town and Country orders will bo attended to with the utmost promptness and despatch. Tho Company can refer with confidence to the superior quality of its Prime Meat, as selected for tho market fromtlarge quantities of first-class We.ii. C ant stock, doalt with at tho Company's Works, Waitara. SALT BEEF, • SP? si*l atteatioa-is directed to tho Company's brand in this line, wliich, with tho faci lities afforded by the.- cold-air procoss, can be cured in mild picklo, and tho nocossity of catting up in small 'pieces obviatod. As contractors for H. M. Navy, hero and in Sydney, large stocks are kept on hand. BACON-CURING. I The Cooling Chambers for Bacon-curing at the Company's Works in Auckland aro now bo far advanced that this Now Industry has boon commenced, and choice Hams and BACOK'can bo offered cured on tho most modern principle. Particular attention will be paid to the selection of Figs for this use, and on^ no account will any except Dairy OR Cor» Fed Pigs bo purchased, as it is purposed to build up a reputation for an' Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory. MEAT-PRESERVING. Thii branch is equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, and the Company has the greatest)confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS Aa superior to anything of tho kind horotofore offored to tho'public. The Company would specially call attention to the fact that tho COMPRESSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, PACKED IN THE SQUARE CAN (The right to which is patented), is tho first earnplo from any part of the world that has been able to compete,successfully in tho London Market with tho bost Chicago brands. Hithfirto the Colonial.meats packed in the round cans, although called compressed meats were/only saleable inttho English markets, where a low prieo was tho first consideration! hot, meats of the New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, wore awarded tho highest commendation, and I>laced on the register of accepted brands, The following extract from tho letter of tho Company's Agonts in London, tho Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited), is reforrod to, who writo as follows:— „_" We. have the pleasure to hand you herewith an extract from a lottor received from the War Offleo, Aimj Department:— Samples ot tbe Peach Orand ol the New Zealand Packing Cti oubmitted bryou, havo been test-ad and proved, and tho Brand will bo added to tho Soiucted liiet °iSvOTIfSff _ lbl1?<SI!r cntttltaeyou to tbe privilege of competing, wo therefore tendered on your behalf at 60s 3d per 1121b : arid to-day were grat'fled to hear that tho offer had been acceptocl. notwlthatanrling that it was 9d per cwt. higher than tbe leading Amorican brands, showing that the quality w«s fully appreciated." Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during tho transfer of tho Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waitara, and owing to the fact that the reserve which had been relied upon to moet current demands was taken by tho New South Wales Government for the Soudan expedition, the Company has been unable to comply with numerous domands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which thoy may be favoured. WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. _J he Company is about to open a large Wholesale Butter Depflt at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf, Cooling Chambers and the necessary plant are now being prepared. s It is anticipated that with the appliances, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with the ever-increasing surplus, the Company will be able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce. Tho Company's Managers of this branch aro cash purchasers of Prime Butter and Fresh Eggs. Communications may at once be undressed to them. The utmost care will bo taken in tho selection of Butter for table use. This will bo made up freshiovery morning. As oarly as possible, wholesale orders of Butter will be delivered in refrigerated carts, so that retailers will be able to obtain a day's supply oach morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company's Brands of Butter, will obtain a table delicacy throughout the year. The department will bo under the management of Messrs Glanville and Ellyett, whose Butter Business is being taken over by the Company. ACID -AND MANURE WORKS. The Directors being very dosirous of satisfying the public as to the genuineness of their Manures, have requested Prof. Browo, of the Auckland University, to act as their AnalyiSt, and he has agreed to certify to the Analysis of the Superphosphates. The Company will defray tho cosfc of any of Manures purchased direct from them and duly sampled, the result of which may bo proved to fall below the guaranteed standard, and also allow 4s 6d per ton per unit for tho deficiency.
