CORRESPONDENCE.

Colonial Patents.

(To tho Editor )

Em, —Mr Wators, tho well known Aus tralian patent agent, states in hia circular that in Now Zealand and Tasmania tho first importer is interpreted to mean the "trno und first inventor," Sir Frederick Whitaker informs mo that eueh an idea is downright uonsonse; while tho Hon. Mr Stout, as woll aa tho Patent Officer at Wellington, decline to give an opinion on tho matter. As to tho first importer being in law tho "truo and first invontor," Mr Waters says, " I havo local opinions almost as good as Sir Frederick Whitaker's in favour of my view; besido which, I hold a very strong opinion that in all matters of tlio legal interpretation of words or phrasoa we must bo governed by tho highest Imperial Courts, unless thoro aro statutes explaining precisely what those tarins moan, and as this phrase haa been interpreted ovor and over ngain in tho way I havo indicated, 1 think there is very little doubt on tho subject." In South Australia thoy hold Sir Frederick Whit akcr's view until lately, but now thoy see that they must bow to tho ruling of the final Court of tho Empire. In proportion to tho population, more patonts aro applied for in New Zoaland than in any other country in tho world. Next on the list comes Great Britain, which, " by leaps and bounds," has risen from some G',ooo per annum to upwards of 17,000 for last year. Third on tho list comes the United States of America, which in former years used to be a long nay ahead of all other nation.". At tho samo timo, for an article of general consumption, a patent in the United Statea is about a hundred times, and a patent in Great Britain about sixty times, more valu able (exclusive of producing powers for ex portation) than one in Now Zoaland,— Yours, &c.,

Acquisition of Land.

(To the Editor).

Silt, — Your loader in Saturday's issue, and tho remarks thereon by " Citizen" in your next, are both happy strokes in tho right key. To the last of the Treasurer's three burning quotations, you vary properly assign first place. "Citizen b" sensible remarks should "nail our colours to tho maet," Tho =ottlemont of the peoplo on the land is fast becoming tho burning question of the hour. Tlio hour for work has struck. It remains to be seen will tho Hon. Mr Ballance show himeelf to bo the right man ;ho is in tho right place for accomplishing the work. Some one must solve the problem, some new industry that will bo widoly established, some lucrative mine found out, s miothing that will give profitable employment, invented, or wo may soon find ourselves in tho position of the Transvaal. Jn the solution of tho land problem lies this colony's future pros perity and peace; farming is the backbone of the prosperity of the world. This is re cognised at tome, where a spirit of unrest is widespread amongst the people occupy ing the land. The other day 1 met a man from the wilds of Conuaught, at Waiuku, working on a settler's farm, not go much for the £1 a week, as to acquire a solid knowledge of the capability and colonial mode ot managing the soil, tie left his farm in Galway, for which ho pays £150 a-yoar, in the hands of his wife and weans until he sends them an order to sell, or goes back. The latter be is in

[dined to do, owing to tho difficulty and un certainty of getting hold of a suitable farm lieie ut a fair price. He is aware of and men tions tho last piece of land legislation at Home, viz., tho Land Purchase (Ireland) Bill, n'liero the Government lend tho tonant the whole of the purchase money of the fee simple of their farm, ropayablo in 49 years at 4 per cent., when they become absolute owners. (I lenve the copy of tlio Tyrone Constitution of the 24th July last on the table of the Free Library. The whole Act will be found on the 4th page). This has been passed by a Conservative Government, too tin order to keep them on the soil, If we have been dozing, we should awake, put our house in order that men with money may not be driven from our shores, while wo are taxing ourselves, nay, incurring debts to bring others, or as "Citizon" puts it, people whose notable qualifications aro not energy, thrift, etc., to this place. Tho present mode of incurring heavy costs in surveying first—such costs entering largely into the fixing of tho upaot price, which, mark you, is done by the surveyor himself, who seldom has any quali fication whatever for valuing land—should be given up. The chaining of free selec tors for 5 yoars to tho earth's surface must cease. Tho errors of precedent legislators in planting settlers on 40 aero grants that would not feed a rat must bed rapped, facili ties forgottingon to thejland mu?t bo adopted by present legislators. Wo will oxpect pro son t representatives to do so, to strong-then JJip 1 ands of any Ministry that shows the 3 en- 0 getllo the people on tho land and at ; and should they rofuso or neglect, is for v"ill pledge Jourselvee to return men liffvi ig-opinions and powers more in accord with the spirit of the age, so that in ono way, if not in the other, reform will be brought about. Thanking you for space, —I am, &c, Settler. Ponsonby, October 27th, 188.0.

Assisted Immigration.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,-Will you allow me to refer to an article in your morning contemporary on the subject, of immigration, It is seriously proposed to borrow a million of money for tho purpose of paying the passage of capitalists to our colony, It is a rare thing to hear anyone defend the system so long pursued of taxing Now Zealand settlers to bring others to glut the already over burdened labour market. This 13 bad enough regarding our own countrymen, but in tho case of foreigners it is difficult to find words to characterise such near-sighted policy. I have seen valuable property given away to these which our own sons might occupy, but which they have little chance of acquiring with such stringent, unworkable regulations as aro attached to tho present Homestead Act. This is, I grant, outside the question of capitalist immigration, but I wish to entor a protest against assisted immigration in any form. Suppose, sir, that such a bait would take, and that we obtained tlieso bloated money bags whicli we are to be taxed to import, probably half of them would not remain. Put it over they sottlod on tho land, I believe it would be only a question of time until they would hnvo to submit to tho semi-starvation our own farmers aro enduring. My contention ie, sir, that it would bo more just and poli tic to encourage our own landless popula tion — our own sons and daughters — to mako it oasy for them to acquire goo 1 land by amending tho Homestead Act, because this Act can nover bo of much uso until some of tho clauses aro expunged which rondor it inoperative such, for instiinco, as that which compels the settler to build a certain kind ot tonement at a stipulated heavy cost, without the option of using what might bo a more suitable material.—Yours, &c, Kichakd Marsh. Auckland, October 30th, ISSS.

A Plea from the Volunteers.

(To tho Editor.) Sin,—As you opon your columns to causes which lack assistance, pardon mo for claim ing a iow linos of your valuable space for a cause which should not lack assistance, but evidently does, viz , a suitablo range for our Volunteers to practise on, and so make thom'olvcs prolicient with tho weapon they aro armed with. Present arrangements are totally inadequate, and I consider a dis grace t«i the Government, and also to our volunteer ollicers generally, who seem to display little enorgy in the matter, although representations have rer><>al,cdly boon made to them regarding the wantof more targets. At present there aro somewhereabout sixteen cr seventeen companies in Auckland, and only two targets to practise at. Saturday, of couivo, boing tho most suitablo time for nearly all parties, companies go two and three togothor every Saturday alternately, so that with a fair representa tion from each corps tho range is crowded in such a way that none got a proper practice Now, I think, sir, you will agroo with mo that, f-ceing the prominent position Auckland occupies at Iho pro ont time as marksmen, the least tho^o in command can do is to display a littlu more energy by stirring up Govern ment to tako some steps in the matter, or the [10.-ition their men now occupy cannot be maintained.—l am, &c, Hull's Eye,

THE LAND OF GOLD AND GREASE.

Dunedln the Divine.

(After G—A—S—.)

I am not quito cortain whether it is Thomas Aquinas or William of Wykehauj Mho Bays that if you visit the North Polo you will find a Scotchman standing on tho top of it. Many a time haa it been my good for tune to bo complimontod on my versa tility and wonderful erudition by crowned heads—shall I over forget my interview with Hia Mujosty of the Sandwich Jslunds, and the popping of tho champagne corks, or tho insinuating grace and elegance with which the high-stepping Princosa of Buggy baloo chucked me u.dcr the chin, and mur mured into my ears the sweetest of sweet nothinga in her mellifluous broken English '; —but for oace my erudition i 3 ut fault. I do not—if 1 must confess the truth—re member which of tho profound philo sophers whoso names i have brought on the tapis uttered the pregnant aphorism about Scotchmen and the North Polo, for (I will here take my reader into my confidence, if ho will have the condescension to come) 1 have loft my commonplace book at homo-a goodly tome decorously clothed in rod morocco - at least as to its back — i, tome in clining now (without ofleuce lot itbe spoken) to embonpoint, for it is swollen with orts of all things in Heaven above and tho earth beneath, and tho waters under tho earth gleanings multifarious and multitudinous— invaluable when a journalist has a reputa tion liko mino and has to rill three columns a week "roglar" ol "Hebdomadal Rever berations." Bat tho tome would havo been toocumbrous as luggage ; and so I hope gracious readers will pardon me when 1 avow that I do not know whether it waa Thomas Aquina3 ol- William of Wykehain (it may have been tho Venerable Bede) who said that if you visit the North Pole you will find a Scotchman standing on tho top of it —for having lot the reader into my con fidence as I have above, entirely and without reservation, I need not further delay the narrativo of my experiences in iiunodin the Divine by adding what must be per fectly evident to tho mos-t obtuse of readers —which (thank Heaven !) nono of mine are —that I have to trust altogether to a memory which my friends sometimes tell mo is not the least retentive in the world— which, to speak without any unnecessary modesty, is a very common-place book in itself. I shall therefore dismiss the ques tion whether it waa Thomas Aquinas or William of VVyktham, or tho Venerable Bedo, who first remarked the übiquity of Scotchmen, and will merely obeorvo that it any of my British reader* should over find themselves, by any chance, in this Land of Gold and Grease (chiefly refrigerated), and in the south-east corner of the Middle Island, in a town yclept Duuedin (for classi cal reference to which I refer tho curious to Professor Aytoun, " Wives and Mothers of Dunedin," etc.), they will confess that if Scotchmen have not yet quite succeeded in reaching the JSorth Polo, a sturdy band of them (mostly rejoicing in the patronymic of Cargill) have got uncommonly near to the South Polo.

Justus wuure about to descend from out point of vantage preparatory to tappi™. bin of the luscious vintage of Oros-vigneron in the cellar of my friend the alderman's elegant suburban mansion, my care are ravished by a most dulcet harmony in my near neighbourhood ; the bolls of the tower clock chime the four quarters; and then the great, bell with its iron tongue'tolls' onfthe' hour with a fullj musical resonance, Tie music of theso bells is the conception of a native genius who plies the dual occupation of cloekmakor and amateur musician; io that it will be seen that Divine Uuncdinliaa made a fair start in tho fine arts.

Hithorto the Colonial moats packed in tho round cans, although culled compressed meats, were only saleable in the English markets, whero a low price wan tho lirst consideration bat meats of the Now Zealand Packing Company, submitted in cotnpotition for Admir alty supplies at Doptford Dockyard, wore awarded tho highost commendation, and placed on the register of accoptcd brands.
