FIJI.

(From Our Own Corbksi'onde.nt.)

Levuka, August 6. Ths event of the month has been the return of the Bon. J. B. Thurston, who was duly sworn in as Administrator on Monday last. This relegates tho Hon. Dr. McGregor to Hs former position as Acting Colonial Secretary, but he lays down his higher dignity with the pleasing consciousness that his six months' service as Ad ministrator has proved an unqualibed success, so far as that was pos sible Sir William Dcs Vceux left him to face i community he (Sir William) had by his overbearing conduct irritated beyond measure • yet, by judicious conciliation and common courtesy, tbe doctor has perfectly restored the entente cordudc botween tho Governor and governed. His work, also, has been of a real and earnest character, so that he retires with general acclamation, and Mr J. B, Thurston starts undor the most favourable auspices.

Prevailing Depression. Unfortunately, there is before tho new Administrator a very rough time. Outside thelimitedcane-growing andsugar manufac turing circle, thedepression, ngnculturaland commercial, can hardly bo exaggerated. Labour is plentiful, because planters are unable to employ thorn. Trade is at o standstill, and the last gunga, the A.S.N. Sydney boat, now in, brought but 60 tons of cargo for both ports. The last, Rockton from Sydney, only brought 150 tons, and _._ gives a fair indication of tho state of business. At the last sitting of the Legis lative Council tho Administrator stated that the excess of expenditure over receipts for 1884 was within a little of £7,000, and that tha first half of ISSS had shown no sign of improvement. At the same meeting a resolution wa3 passed to bring under the notice of the Secretary of State for the Colonies the ad visability of considering a reduction in the Governor's salary; so that with this general eutlook Mr Thurston has not a pleasant time before him Nevertheless, he is the best man for the task if he will set about it fairly; but as this must mean reversing Ms own policy, tbo question remains—Will he?- '. Rioh Sugar Yields. The narrow "silver edging to this dark dwd" is supplied by tho improved pro tjects of the sug_r producers. The cane 'asp is a good one all round, and on the Rewa it is simply magnificent. Tho big mill ia working night nnd day, and turning oat at the rate of 300 tons weekly. The jiald from a considerable area has gone over three tons of sugar to the acre, while from one estate, J. C. Smith and Co.'s, Yunicibicibi, the yield has given 69 tons ef cane and about nine tons of sugar per acre. What this means is shown by the fact that 25 to 30 cwt. is an average yield in other cano growing countries. Unfortunately, though, this splendid harvest benefits only a limited number, and leaves tho commercial section of the community and the tmall planters . etill stranded.

Somoaomo has been vory gay over the wedding of Ratu Lala, Huko Tui Cakan drovi. It waa a grand and imposing affair, distinguished by all tho barbaric profusion andmagnificenca of the highest clas3 native ceremonial. Besides this, Woodyear's Circus gave, in honour of the occasion, a graud open-air performance, and tho eclat thu. added to the event will long pre->ervo it foremost in the annals of Fijian history.

Fatal Accident at Rambi. I regret to report that news is just to hand of the death at Rambi of Horatio Hill, eldest son of the Hon. John Hill. Ho acci dentally shot himself while out pig-hunting ontheßthult., by fallingoveraledgeof rock. The doctor did not seem to consider the found dangerous, and returned to Taviuna, tntaweek after the accident tetanus sot in, and the patient died on the 25th. He was 16 yeara old, and a young man of highest promise. The accident is tho more de plorable from the fact that it is but a few months ago since tbe father of Capt. Hill blew his right hand off with dynamite.

Presentation to Captain Cromarty. Captain Cromarty's passengers on last trip presented him with a very flattering testimonial, which has-duly appeared in print.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

Caustic Press Criticism,

Wellington, this day. Both evening papers condemn the Sup plementary Financial Statement. The "Post" declares that it will neither on hance the Colonial Treasurer's reputation as a financier nor improve the position of the Ministry, and says that the opportunity afforded for bringing down some bold well devised scheme for restoring the financial eqalilibrinmandre-habilitating the Govern ment in public confidence was not taken advantage of. It denies that the pro posals are equal to the gravity of the occasion, and expressed disappointment that something broader and better was not provided.

In controverting the statement made by the Treasurer last night, the "New Zea land Times" declares that on the item rail way Customs and stamps (which includes postal and telegraph receipts) there has neen a deficiency of £70,000 on the amounts estimated in the June Financial Statement.

Dunedin this dayi VThe "Times" says there is scarcely a business man in the island who will not en dorse our statements as to the enormous deprecation in the value of property sinco 1882. We havo no hesitation in saying that it is equal to a seven-eighthn of a jsany tax. A Treasurer who really knew tne state oi the country, and had a pare far-seeing object than to tide jns Government over tho session and leave -his successors to deal with a aige deficit next year would have allowed ■Madepreciation of £30,000 to £10,000, or M least have brought tho amount of the tlut -P to a penny. To {postpone for a second year the payment of a debt incurred ™o years ago is bud enough, but to ehargo current expenditure to loan is indefensible. "0 property tax must bo raised to apsnny "I" tbo Estimates be more carefully g»»e-. If the Government will not do it Mother must b*a found. Tho Treasurer's Proposals do not look our difficulties fairly jti the face.

THE BALDWINS.

Tin; occult phenomena of thought-reading, clairvoyance, and mesmerism will receive public exposition in tho Theatro Royal to-night from Professor and Mrs Baldwin. The existence of thought-reading has been known for the past 100 years, but no definito attempts to thoroughly comprehend its laws, or the rules governing it, were mado until somo 10 or 12 yoars past. In 1872 a man named J.R.Brown,a citizen of lowa,U.S. A., gained groat notoriety in America by his public experiments in "mind-reading," as he called it. Professor Baldwin bo came much interested ii. these experi ments, and after long study and analysis, became convinced that mind reading was a power possessed by many people, and that by proper and careful development it might be productive of many peculiar and very interesting results. Professor Baldwin was an associate and a pupil of J. R. Brown; and after Mr Brown's breakdown he continued the experiments left off by his coadjutor, and in time became more celebrated than Brown himself. \V. Irving Bishop (who had the recent discus sions with Mr Labouchero, M.P., about reading the numbers of a bank note) then associated with Professor Baldwin, and became exceedingly profi cient in this peculiar science; and Mr Stuart Cumberland, in turn, was a pupil of Mr Bishop. So far the results obtained by these gentlemen seem more amusing and curious than useful. Among tho experi ments given at Professor Baldwin's enter tainments may be mentioned the pin test. In this tost ono of the committee takes a small pin, and when tho Professor is removed from tho room in charge of two others of the committee tho pin ia carefully hidden in some out-of-the-way place in the hall. Tbe Professor is brought in blind folded, and with a sack tied over his head, the committeeman who hid the pin thon places the tips of his fingeis lightly to the Professor's iorehead, and for a few seconds thinks intently of the place where the pin is hidden. The professor then dashes off as fost as he can run, and at once finds tho pin in the secret place where it is hidden. In the bank-note test a gentleman is re quested to think of tho numbers of a note hold in his pocket, and these numbers aro then written on a blackboard by the pro fessor, who is standing on tbo stage. Lost and stolen articles are described, words in strange foreign languages are written, all that is necessary is for the oxperimenter to think intently of tbe article he wishes des cribed, and to place the tips of his fingers to the forehead of the mind-reader.

Farewell of Messrs MacMahon and Leitch To-night.

To-night will witness the close of a dramatic season which for the high class character of the plays produced during it, tho manner of their production, and the unwnving success that hns so deservedly rewaaded overy effort of its management, is unique in tho annals of Now Zealand theatricals. To sustain swell interest as to fill a large theatre nuht after night for ton weeks in a city with the population of Auckland is a rare achievement. Tins Messrs llacMnlion ond Leitch. have done, und by it they havo proved that thK public are always ready to gratefulls and practically acknowledge such liberal and conscientious efforts in their in terests. It is unnccessory to recapitulate the number of dramatic novelties this management has presedted during its able an.l long to be re membered conduct of tb■: Opcia llou t. for t'.i.y are vivid in the minds nf ail niaygoers. The latest and greatest of all tiic.e. "The Pearl Divers," which lias drawn during tho pjst fortnight the largest audiences seen in the Opera House for a considerable time, bus been fitly retained upon the stage for Ihe concluding performance ot the season, the occasion being the Farewell Benefit of Messrs MncMuhoii and Lcitcc. Apart from tho distinguished merit and already proved popularity of this remark able produstion, the occasion alone would prove a powerful draw, for never was a management more deserving of the warmest recognition of a public whom it has delightfully entertained deringalong winter. The curtain will rise to night at'a-quarter to eight for the last time upon "The Pearl Divers." when we cxpoct a brilliant audience to bid nnieu—or rather, we trust, a brief au revoir to Mossrs MacMahon and Leitch.
