South African Troublos,

B"Mr Goorge Baden Powell is at present engaged in studying tho South African diiliculty on tho spot, and also in pro.not ing tho work of tho Imperial Federation League in that quarter of the globe. He will, no dcubt, prosont an interesting re port of tho stato of affairs in South Africa when he roturns homo. Wo havo not had any further nows concerning tho difficulty botwoon Sir Hercules Robinson and General Warren, but wo learn that tho latter has almost cotnploted tho pacification of Bechu analand, and that tho trial of Van Niokerk, and tho discovery and punishment of tho murderers of Mr Botholl. aro tho only two tasks of importanco remaining to him. It Rooms highly probable, however, that affairs in BasutoL'Liid will attract his attention, and it i." also hoped that he will undertake a sottlomont of Zululand. Professor Soclcy's Lectures. During tho weok l'rofosser Secloy has concluded a courso of loctures in tho East End of London, on "Tho Expansion of England." In tho courso of the last he said : — " Mr Bright tolls us that tho wars of tho British Empire wcro duo to guilty am bition, that the proceeds of thorn went into tho pockots of admirals and gonorals, and, gonerally speaking, that tho British Empiro was founded in tho interests of tho youngor sons of aristocratic families. Now all this is not to soo just tho very thing about thoso wars which is most cortain and obvious. They woro not at all prompted by lust of empire, and they wore waged in the into rosts, not of tho aristocracy, but of tho trading classos. They wcro businoss under takings, and it was tho standing marvel of tho cightconth contury that tho moro Eng land fought tho richer she becamo, and that if hor debt increased fast hor ability to bear it incrcasod yot faster. And if you ask what wo havo got for our 800 millions of debt incurred in thoso wars, tho answer is vory simple. Wo havo got Canada, and South Africa, and Australia, and India, and a world-wide cominorco such as has novor before boon Keen." Lord Randolph Churchill has roturncd from India, looking bronzed and weii. Last night the noble lord occupied his nld familiar corner seat just below tho Opposi tion gangway. On his entry into tho Mouse ho was received with a fairly respect able clicor. Wo shall bo glad to havo him buck, for English politics havo been terribly dull (luring his absence. Tho Suez Canal. A story roaches us from Paris which shows how utterly futilo woro tho hopes of tho.so who anticipated that tho Suez Canal CommiH.'»ion would confino its labours with in tlio limits laid down by Lord (Jranvillo'a famous circular. At tho first sitting of tho commission tho French dologar.es produced a scheme for tho regulation of tho Canal, which the"Titnos" correspondent doßcribcs as " including a vory complex pyutom of rules, interfering in many cases with tho Interior affairs ot tho Canal, full of puzzlos and ambiguities of all kinds." The same authority goes on to say that— " It is evident from tho very nature of tho situation that tho English schomo is diamo trically opposed to tho French. England , wants tho canal to bo freo without tho in tervention of anybody. ttlio wants tho canal to bo managed by a froo company without any external control, whoroas Franco dosirca a complicated regulation implying also a control over Egypt. This would obviously result, not in tho noutrali eation of Egypt, but in multiplied inter vention of Egypt. It would not bo an Egypt belonging to nobody, but an Egypt belonging to evorybody, England being thus evicted, and hor einglo will drownoi in manifold wills." North Queensland as a Crown Colony. A eorrospondeneo has just taken place botweon M r C. S. Salmon, formorly Presi dent of St. Nevis, and Mr Wcstparth, through tho medium of Mr Chcsson, Secre tary of the Aborigines' Protection Society, on the question of forming Northorn Queens land into a Crown colony, so that Coolio labour could be obtained by the plantors u mlorthosuporvision of tho Imporial Govern ment. Mr Westgarth considers this stop necessary for tho commercial progress and prosperity of Northern Queensland ; whilo Mr Malmon strongly opposes tho idea of spoiling a " frco rontinont" by tho intro duction of a scrvilo class moroly for tho purpose of making a " snug place for plan ters." Marriage wltli Deooasod Wllo's Sister- A memorial, signed by nearly throo fourths of tho members of the City of London Corporation, has been addrossod to her Majesty's Ministers, urging tho repeal of tho I'iw prohibitint: maniago with tho dcccn'cd wife's sigter. Tho memoria lists- anvme whom aro the Lord Mayor, tho cv Lord Mayor, the two Sheriffs, tho Recorder, tho City Chamborlain, and'JO of tho _!l ilrpntios, say : "Tho prohibition of such marriages has boon ropoatodly con domned by largo majorities in tho House of Commons; it has become a part of our jurisprudence through a doubt ful interpretation of Scripture ;it is habitu ally infringed, without, loss of respect, by persons of admitted virtue, who do not boliovo that they aro acting at varianco with religion or morality ; and a law which, llko this, fnils to secure tho gonoral assent of tho community ought, in our opinion, to bo abolished. Wo. thoroforo, urgently appeal to Hor Majesty's rosponsiblo ad visors to tnko such stops as may bo needful to carry tho desired roform into cltbct." Tho Frlnoo of Walos nnd tho Irish Clergy in Rome Tho Dublin correspondent of tho "Times" quotos a letter writton by tho Rev. Canon llegarty, of Cork, drawing attention to tho goodwill which tho Princo of Wales has always shown tho Irish Do minicans of I-I'.. Clemont's in Romo, and to tho protection of tho British flag afforded them. It, was not during tho Prince's visit to Romo soon after iiis marriage that ho first mailo (ho acquaintance of Father Mullooly and tho Irish Dominicans, nor was St. Clement's tho only Irish establishment in Romo that hoisted tho Union .lack and took sholtor under its protecting influence. When his Royal Highnoes, thon a youth, was in Romo in 1859, ho took a livoly interest in Fathor Mullooly's oxcavations beneath tho modern church. Ho visited thorn frequently, subscribed handsomoly towards the work, and invitod Father Mullooly moro than once to dino with him at tho Hotol dos Ilos Baitanni quoß. Tho oxcollont prior esteemed tho Princo highly ;ho had his portrait and autograph hanging in a prominent placo in his coll, and always spoko of him with affoctionato rogard. On tho occasion of tho second visit of tho Princo to Rome, with tho Princess from March 23 to April 9, 1572, ono of tho first places thoir Royal Highnesses wont to was St. Clement's, »nd tho friendship which had sprung up between tho Prince and tho reverend Prior 13 years before wasfurthorcemonted. Tho excavation of the subterranean church was then com ploted. For tho frontispiece of his work, entitled, " St. Clomont, Pope and Martyr, and his Basilica in Rome," Father Mullooly had drawings made representing his con ducting Pius IX. through the oxcavations tho first time that his Holiness visited them. Of this he had a replica made, representing his showing the Princo and Princess of Wales through them; and the two drawings hung side by side in his cell. Many sovereigns and princes of royal blood who camo to Romo went to see the dis coveries at St. Clement's, but to none of them did Father Mullooly pay tho same compliment. During their stay in Rome, the Princo and Princops went to"visit Pope Pius IX., who—l quote the following from tho official " Osservatore Romano" of that date—" had prayed for tho Prince in his hour of need, and rejoiced at his restoration to health." On tho Pope hearing from Mr Clarke Jervoise, then officially representing Her Majesty's Government to the Holy See, that the Princess wished to see the interior of a convent, His Holiness directed that any one which she named should be onened to her. Her Royal Highness chose one, and in naming the suit© who were to attend them the Princo especially included Father Mullooly, who accompanied them accordingly. Canon Hegarty, so far from exaggerating the service rendered by tho Prince to the Irish Dominicans, to say nothing of the other Irish establishments in Rome—for Father Mullooly did not plead for his own—has simply done justice to the facts. The Father often talked with me on the subject, and, in confirmation of what Canon Hegarty has stated, it is within my knowledge that both the Prince and Princesß of Wales expressed fully to the King and Queen of Italy—then Princo Humbert and Princess Margherita — the warm interest vhich they took in the welfare of the estab lishments owned by her Britannic Majesty's Irish Catholic subjects in Rome. How effectual that expression of interest was is best illustrated by tho case of St. Clemont's, which, as every Roman Catholic bishop in Ireland knows, had not a shadow of claim, in the eyes of the Italian law, for the exemp tion from confiscation that it obtained. Tothe reminder which Canon Hejjarty gives "tho gentlemen whoso password is now respectful neutrality," &c, that the treasures of S. Clement were under the protection of the British flag, when the Prince and Princess of Wales arrived in Rome, at

the time when the "Bill for the sup pression of monastic orders," aa it Was called, was boing prepared, I may add that on the Italians entering Rome on September 20, 1870, the Irish Franciscans of St. Isidore wore the first to hoist the ' Union Jack. According to a letter printed in the Belfast "Northern Whig" at the time, it was flying from their church as early as the 16th. St. Clement's and the Irish Colloge, the headquarters in Rome of uncompromising Irish disaffection and disloyalty, next placed themselves under the protection of the British flag, tbo other Irish establishments following tho oxnmplo. Tho principal of ono of them aaked a Roman clerical if ho thought tho green flag with the harp would do as well, and a very ex pressive raising of tho eyebrows convinced him to tho contrary. Tho Anglo-American Yacht Race. Tho " Sportsman's " New York spocial correspondent, writing on the 25th of March, H ays:—Tho Boston men are observing the deepest secrecy respecting the new craft now building to beat tho British sloops which aro coming across the Atlantic to sail for tho America's Cup. As a Now York authority naively expresses himself: "It is thought that it will bo better if tho Yankee craft possesses any now points of excollonco not to lot her adversaries know anything about them," She will ho a centreboard sloop, with a doublo-hoad rig, and her lower sail area will bo about 5,000 square feet.

FRENCH OPINION ON THE SITUA TION.

Fear that Germany will Solzo Holland.

Parts, April 10,

Thonews received ol the outbreak of hos tilities in Afghanistan caused a panic on tho Paris Bourse such as lias not been ex porienced sinco 1870. War botweon Eng land and Russia being regarded as inevit ablo, tlio monoy market was thrown into a stato that can best be described as one of wild disorder. Tho excitoment on the Bourse was scarcely loss intense than it -vas on tho London Stock Bxchango. Tho 3 per conts. fell lfr. 50c, nnd tho 4J per cents, lfr. 15c. The effect of the panic was atill moro severoly felt in every class of foreign stock. The fall was general all over Europe, and telegrams from^ London, Berlin, and St. Petersburg only tended to deepen the de prossion in Paris. Tho Franco-Chinese quarrol has been thrown into obscurity by tho shadow of tho far moro terrible struggle that is preparing between England and Russia in Asia and Europe. From a senti mental point of view, th» French aro wholly disinterested in this Afghan frontier dis pute, but their material interests aro deeply involved in it. They fully roaliso that a war botweon England nnd Russia would upset the Euvopean equilibrium, and they aro quito aware of tho dangerous complica tions that aro too likoly to onsue from the withdrawal of such important pieces from the Continental chessboard. Howover an Anglo-Ruesian war may terminate, France must bear a share of its evil consequences. Both England and Russia will bo bo awakened by tho conflict that the in fluonco of either will bo likely to count for very little in any changes that may take placo in tho map of Europe in consequence of tho conflagration in Asia. If war breaks out between England a»d Russia, the eyes of Franco will bo immediately turned upon Berlin. The gloom and uneasiness pro ducod in this country by tho prospect of an imminent Anglo-Russian war is ex plained by tho absolute uncertainty sur rounding tho action of Gormany when tho Titanic struggle in Central Asia lias com moncod. The possible action of England in seoking Europoan allioa also givos causo for gravo approhonsion here. Tho French fear that the other European States will not remain, liko them solves, passivo spectators of tho struggle. Thoy know that England has set all Europo ablozo before when her in terests have boon assailed, and thoy are fully alivo to tho possibility of her doing tho samo again. But what thoy fear most is, that (iermany will find a protoxt for in vading Holland, Prince Bismarck's ideas as to tho eventual necessity of thiß stop being well known. Thoso apprehensions aro clearly expressed in an articles which ha.s just appoared in the "XIX. Sidcle." Tho \rritor says : —

"I am convinced that Gormany at the presont hour has no wish to recommence tho war of 1870-71. Tho agod Emporor and tho aged Princo, both full of years and covorod with glory, having restored the Gorninn Empire, liavo no desiro to com promiso this triumph. Thoir eagle has ono claw upon Dentzic and another upon Motz. Thin is enough, nnd the prey happily is Dot sufficiently digosted for tho appetite of tho conquoror of our good 'ands of Alsace and Lorraino to havo bocomo koon again. Never theless, it must bo always remembored that occasion, which makos joyous thieves of kisses, also makes nations thievos too. Germany, encumbered with territory, is poor and prolific, nnd needs colonies and ports. It is an economic law that emigration onrichosthe country when tho colonist keeps up a connection withthoFathorlnnd, nnd that it impoverishes it whon tho emigrant loaves without a thought of returning. Gorman emigration, which is very considorablo, and is offoctcd partly by our vessels, is a kind of emigration that does notonrich Germany, because she lacks coloniosas well as trading ports. Tho flat shoros of tho Baltic are bad for tho lattor purposo, and such ports as exist there might bo easily blockaded at tho Sound. It is therefore impossible that Gormany does not dream nf acquiring ports on tho Meditorranoan such as Triosto, and tho ports and colonies of Holland. Ono day or another tho coup must be attempted. INow in this ovont wo woro almost suro of having upon our sido cithor Eng land (returning to lior seventoonth contury policy) or Russia, who has a strong interest in preventing tho maritimo development of Gormany. But if England and Russia aro at war, and thoir action is therefore neutral ised, who can say that, notwithstanding the sincere desire for peace which tho Emperor has shown, something stronger than human wishos may not compel him to remount his war horeo ? Ought "not our country, then, to bo prepared for all eventualities ? Is it not our duty from this day to forget our miserablo quarrels and to keep our eyes resolutely fixed upon the future ?"

Takapuna Jookoy Club Birthday Meeting,

The Takapuna Jockey Club Meeting yes terday was an unqualified success. The weather turned out splendidly as the after noon wore on, and there must have been fully 2,0C0 spectators present on the course. With the exception of a slight collision between Nannie and Victory jußt prior to the Winter Oats Handicap being run, nothing occurred to mar the afternoon's pleasure, and all the races were got oft' in good time, despite the fact that it was a quarter to 1 before the flag fell for the first event. As usual, Mr T. Peel, Se cretary, and Mr S. Vosper, Treasurer, both worked hard to promote the success of the meeting, and they were ably seconded in their efforts by the other members of the Olub. In the absence of Mr W. H. Fenton, Mr E. Mitchelson, M.H.R., performed the duties of judge. The results of the first four races appeared in last night's issue, and we subjoin the concluding items of the programme :— Winter Oats Handicap, of SOsovs. Dis tance, one mile and a quarter. Mr E.

Vortex went away with the lead, but before going far Mystery wrested the position from him, and she and Cinderella alternately led the field through out. Just before the turn into the straight the pair closed, but Mystery, always having a bit the best of it, succeeded in beating Cindorella by a length. Totalisator divi dend, £3 14s.

Quilp was the favourite, and the race ■was a splendid one throughout, every one of the horses that started getting round the course. When they landed over the water jump tho last timo for home, Julia Ann and Seagull led Quilp by two lengths, and i an exciting finish then took place. Seagull commenced to tire slightly after thoy had gone about a hundred yards, and Quilp getting on terms with him, gradually overhauled Julia Ann, and led into the straight. A desperate struggle then took placo between the pair, but Hope succeeded in stalling off the mare, and won a Bplen didly contested race by half a length, Sea gull boing a good third. The totalisator dividend was £2 Bs.
