i _ Wolseley's Address to tho Nay.-v

proposals for ttie Autumn Campaign

A HstSCBAM dated Korti, March 6, for -rardod by tho sjiccial correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph," ccnteins tho following copy of Lord VVatecloy'a Gonoral Orders . __ j- the Soldiers and sailors of tho Nile «neditionary force:-"The Queen, who _'_r«-t>tched with the doopest intoro.t (he Stars of her soldiora and her sailors, has desired mo to express to you her admiration , y -„ r courage and your self devotion To have commanded such men is to mo a lire, of the higbe.t pride No gr_»-er Lnour can be in store lot: mo than that lo ,-htch I look forward of loading yon, pica, c <*od into KhaVtouui before tlio year is out,' V0*17 **'oblo efforts to savo tloneral ilonlonh. vo been unsuccessful, but through nofau-t.i yours.

This army was not con i Stated with a view to undertake tin jjjgoof Khartoum, and for the moment wt «a_t content outselvo_ with preparations for the autumn advance. You will, 1 fcnow, faeo ",0 lieat of • sulnmcr> and tin necessary, though less exciting, work which is now to bo dono with tho same courage anil ondurnnco you have shown .itheno. I thank you heartily for till yon Java done in tho past. I can wish nothing hotter, I can ask nothing more of you in t'n future, than tho same uncomplaining de votion to duty which has characterised your conduct dining the recont opera tion.." lard Wolsoley inspected tho Nava Brigade at Korti, and afterwards addressed them. Tho General praised tho conduct ot lord Charles Berc.ford and his mon in tin highest forms, and then called out of tin ranks tho etigineot who repaired tho injured boiler of tho steamer which waa sent t< rescue Sir Charles Wilson and his party ot their way down from Khartoum. Lore Wolseley complimented the man warmh on his galtont conduct and coolness mid. thefireof the enemy, and gave him his owi cigarette case as a personal memento, Th. fienera' afterwards hearily thanked Mnj.i Denison and his Canadian boatmen for their plucky, unflinching, and gallant behaviour in tho whalers. lord Ai-lie, With the Light Camel Corps, las arrived at Korti. Tho mon have marched all tho way down, as the greater jpart 0- the camels have died, and the few arriving were used to carry the baggage. Lord Wolseley has also inspected Kasm.l Moos Pasha's people, and told them he would advance on Khartoum in tho autumn. Itfie whole assembly shouted "Amen" in 'chorus. Tho Pasha said that as they had been loyal to General Gordon, so they mjldbeto Lord Wolseley. Lord Wolseloj „i!ti visited the Mudir, who is much dis pleased at the conduct of some of his officers ug,.l_-..jiver. He has started for Merawi to/mt—uti them, and to inspire confidence -if his men by his presence among them.

The following are forwarded by tin special correspondent of tho "Standard' as the arrangement* for tho disposition c (he1 troops during the summer;— The head quarters will be at Dongolu. Tho main body of tho troops will remain in camp at Korti. The Mudir'a troops will be itatlonod at Mcrawi, with probably the Black Watch, a troop of the 19th Hussars, and two guns. Tvo movablo columns will bo formed ready to tako tho Hold at any Botnent. Of these one—consisting ol General Dormor's brigade of three battalions ot infantry, a troop of Hussars, and four gone—will bo encamped near Dobbeh. The "other, under the command of General Brac kenbury, will be posted somewhere b tween Debbeh and Handak. The Heavy Camel Corps will be encamped opposite the Hnn l__ Cataracts. Huts constructed of mud wdrC-ds will be erected for the trocps, for 11. heat in tents would be absolutely bitpportablo. It is daily increasing now, ad is already trying tho health of tho ;fmpe. Major Byng has arrived at Korti with a t__l convoy from Gakdul. Ho reports 'ilia slight skirmish took placo on the uridown between a party of the Hoavy duel Corps and tho Hassaniyoh robbors. ' (Uonel Barrow laid an ambush for another puty of these marauders, and kill.d two of fan, but the rest go: off. The steamer fiassif-el-Kheir has stranded on a rock near Dongola: This is a most unfortunate cir mttastance. Tho steamer has boon of the (latest assistance to tho expedition, and __likely to be of even greater utility now tt-tlar|!-c quantities of stores will have to .8 brtWght up for tho use of tho force during ttirtay at Korti. I the Naval Brigade, tho Southern Divi _m of the Artillery, and tho Heavy Camel , Corps detachment havo arrived at Korti 1 from Gakdul. They report that the H-bdi. scouts are approaching that placo, probably for the purpose *of looking for wood.

All the wounded belonging to the Nile column, including Colonel A. G. AVauchope, Captain Horsbrugh, and Lieutenants Ken nedy and Colborne, are doing well. Mrtneral Brackenbury has arrived at Korti with Colonels Alleyne and Colvilo. The Heavy "Camelry," under Colonel Talbot, has also arrived. Before leaving MerawiGeneral Brackenbury hsld a review o( all the troops under his command. Al t^O-gh.afterthe hard work of the provioua few weeks, tho troops lorked somewhat raggedin nppeafanco, every man on parade wash, splendid condition. Alter tho cus tomary inspection Geti-iul Brackenbury made a cheery spocch to tho brigado, in t_ course of which ho warmly thanked Officers and men for their splondid be , natiour under unaccustomed and trying circumstances. They would shortly wparatefor the purpose of going into their (rammer quarters, and he had called them ; together before they broke up in ordor ttat he might have tho opportunity of ox -teasing his acknowledgments for their '•'Bit services. "The way in which tho Brigade has worked," concluded tho fleneral, "will be mentioned in history." The .fficers of General Brackenbury s tolamn who have arrived at Korti give .interesting accounts of their voyago down ; lie cataracts. Tho course was full of perils, H the rapids abounded in difficult places, SP the danger of wreck was constantly < {resent j but the risk was forgotten in the incitement and interest occasioned by the J-Wceptional circumstances of the voyage, 'The 300 whalers, with their soldier crews, tooitly in scarlet coats, swept down tho hrerin a seemingly endless line at the rate ,-;.. seven miles an hour, sometimes gliding gSM with the current in comparatively anooth water, and then swooping down gj.rapid with a fall of sevoral feet g terrific speed. Those who from the ■vl *™ watched the boats as they rode ' weadily over the calm water, and then waped down the falls ono after tho other in ,;»**id succession, say that the scene re ' gilded them of a gigantic water steeple :.: euase. The steering of the boats between joe countless recks and islands was admir able. One serious mishap only occurred. Altogether the experiences of tho voyage ISB*l to have made a vivid impression, *«_-will aot eagi i y be effaced on those 'no took part in its porils and excite ments, '"il^? moßtserious casualty in coming down : Wnverwasat thoTeren Cataract, whoro jm Of the whalers, in shooting through the an * g_fe' Btruck a rock aucl hoeled over in j , In*|s ant.

BAREFACED ROBBERY

A most impudent theft was perpetrated about nine o'clock this fca.n_.ig in the shop of 'Mr Whaley, Fruiterer and greengio.or, j Pomtwiby itoad. It soems that prior to tho aßoVft hour Mr Whaley brought his cash box into the shop to change a sovereign and very soon missed tho box and contents. Homo ono must havo slipped suddenly in, and reaching his hand over tho counter carried away the box and contents. Thorc was a considerable quantity of cash therein —about ._-_o—and somo valuable deeds. The ill air seems to havo been dono by somo one who has been watching tho operations in Mr \\ haloy sshop, the wholebeing well planned. Mr Whaley complains that as soon as ha missed the box, ho ran to inform tho police man at Ronsonby, but bo was out. Then no proco^ded to the ono at Newton, and ho also was away. Mr Whaley tl.on came to tho head office in High street, where he says ho had to wait about half-nn-hour to havo his report taken down. Ho ', asked if a policeman could coino at once, and was told, " Not just now." Tho delay made Mr Whaley nngry.his belie! bo ing that it was just pos'iblo that if n policeman had beon despatched at once, tho '. rascal would have beon caught, perhaps, in : the Western Park or closo by. Tho abovo is Mr Wbaloy's vorsion, blit that of tho police is somowhat different, They state that Mr Whaley was at the station twice, and on both occasions was so oxcited that it was difficult to got any doiinito particulars of tho oc currence. A man was not available at tho moment for tho purpose, and Mr Whnloy returned shortly afterwards with throe boys, whom ho ordored tho lock up keeper to take into custody on tho charge of stealing the cash box. They were detained, and Detective Hughes was inves 'igating the case this afternoon.

NEW SKELETON LIGHT HOUSE.

Since attention was drawn in our columns to Mr T. 15. Hannaford's invention of a "skeleton circular boll-tower lighthouso,' tho subjoct has been looked into by a local engineer of first-class ability, and he has reported most favourably of the idea. The structure, it is proposed, shall stand on eight dwarf piers, built on the rocks or reofs, against which tho mariner is to bo warned. Tho tower is to be of iron, and in three tiers — each tier '20 feet in leight, or from base to crown .0 feet. Tho top tier is the machine-room and would bo floored with iron. Tho machine-room would be roached by a spiral iron and railed stairway on the inside of the tower, ending in a man-hole. As each tier is composed of eight ribs, and as tho whole structure is put together with nuts and bolts, it will be seen that should it bo neces sary (say in war timo) to take it down, the work could be carried out at three different points of its altitude at ono and the same timo, and eight dwarf piers being con structed on another reef or rock, the entire tower, less the machinery, could be ro erected in a day. The chance that a hostilo cruiser would have of eecape from wreck, if it steered by the tower after it was moved from its former portion, would be slight. Tho special feature of the invention, how over, ia the windmill arrangement at top, which is to serve tho triple purpose of at t.acting^tho attention of mariners in day time, ringing the lighthouso bell in fogs, aud generating electricity for the light, Looking at the wholo thing as now ovolved from the brain of the inventor, it seems a matter of surprise that such an idea was not long ago adopted for the protection of ship ping. The " skcloton " idea is a good one, for tho tower otters little resistance to the winds or waves, and its stability would be undoubted. Lighthouses erected on this principle would bo most serviceable for iteo at tho approaches to harbours, and as Mr Haunaford at present despairs of persuad ing the Gonoral Government to give his inj volition a trial, it might bo worth while for our Harbour Board to come to terras with him, or use their influonce with Government on behalf of a really useful and ingenious contrivance.

The Price of Broad.

(To the Editor.)

Sik, —I should liko to know on what

grounds tho present exorbitant piice of bread is maintained by the bakers in Auck land. Tho price at present ruling in London is-Id per lib haf; in Auckland, 7d. In London tho price of Hour is about double what it is here. I have reason to know that 2801bs. of flour will produce ninety 41b loaves well baked. Taking this as a basis for calculation, tho Auckland baker has exactly £9 (per ton of 2,2401b5.) more than the London baker for baking that quantity, although the Londoner pays noarly double the price for his Hour. Let no one answor that tho difference in wages could make eucli an absurd difference to the consuming public—l am, etc., A Father of Ten. ♦ Mount Albert Loan. (To the Editor.) Sir,—Will you kindly givo mo space to cay a few words to supplement your report of the Mount Albert Road Board meeting re loan on Thursday evening last. Section 49 of the Roads and Bridges Construction Act, No. 5 clause, states that the detailed esti mates of the cost of the proposed work may be seonat tho office of the local Board during ordinary office hours for four weeka. The Clerk, when theso estimates wero asked for on April loth and 20th, said they wore not there. Thoy wero absent, according to tho Clerk's statement, on April 6, ISBS, To my mind this is fatal to tho taking of tho poll, as tbo Act was not complied with. 1 have not tho means nor inclination to take a legal opinion upon this question. Common souse dictates that tho attempt to take tho poll when the Act is not complied with will convince most men that it is a waste of time and money. This is tho stand I took at tho meeting on Thursday evening. I was over ruled by the wise men of Mount Albert, who were crying, "Give us the money ! Give us tho money !" I pass on, and will not jdoscribo the scones which took place—a gentleman falling down upon his knees. What his prayer was, I know not, being somewhat deaf. Also, legal and common sonso question, mentioned by another worthy. I did my best to lay before tho meeting the necessity of advertising three weeks longer to comply with tho Act. I do not think it would be wise to try to "euchre tho Government." —I am, Ac, James Paoe. Kingsland, May 2,1885.

A meeting of the creditors of Isaac Railey, contractor, was held this morning in the office of the Official Assignee. After some discussion it was resolved that this moating approves of the action 'of the Official Assignee in tho sale of the freehold property for £700 grots instead of £700 not." This sale has the effect of reducing the dividend expected from tho estato to 13s 3d in the £, while the relinquishment of_ tho debtor's furniture was made conditional upon the payment of 17s 3d in the £. A point was raised as to the validity of Mr W. Aitken's second mortgage for £200, seeing that he did not register tho deed, and ho may have to rink as an unsecured credi tor, tho effect of which will be to increase tho dividend to the original offer of 17s 3d in the £■ As to the question of the furniture, it was agreed that tho Official Assignee be authorised to hand over the samo to him if a majority in numbor and value of his creditor approved.
