So far the search has 'proved unsuccessful, as Kobinson is unable to identity tho preciso spot where the money is concealed.

LOCAL RAILWAY SERVICES.

Public Agitation lor Improvements.

It is one of the disadvantages of a railway system worked by a Government Depart ment that the public have to fight strenuously for any improvement in tho sor vico, or convenience in the way of stations, whereas on the other band a private com pany is ready to anticipate every want on the part of the travelling public, and, as it were, entices them to use the vailway. On tiro of the lines running out of Auckland— that to the South and that to Helensvillo —there is amplo room for improvement, and we believe the local officials would bo ready to admit the desirability of certain changes and experiments being mado with a view to the development ot passenger traffic. The local Trafhc Managor, Mr Hudson, who has shewn groat energy in developing traffic on the lines, is no doubt hampered by regulations and tho central control. Beyond a doubt, tho large suburban population around Auckland to tho north, east, and south, which can bo reached by ml, would yield a steady rovenue to the Railway Department if their wants were considered and trains run to suit thoir con reDreitte. This, too, could bo achieved without any risky experiment in the reduc tion of fares, bat at tho presont rates, with perhaps a liberal allowance for monthly season tickets. Take tho Helensvillo lino alono, and it will be seen that it taps a population of many thousands in tho few miles of its course between Auckland and Avondale. Why should not local trains be run to and from Avondnlo and tho city, calling at Mount Albert, Kingsland, Mount Eden, and Newmarket? A workmen's twin in the morning would bo largely patronised, as would trains run punctually to arrive in the city from 8.30 to 9.30. In connection with the Helensvillo branch, there is urgent need for the Kings land station being shitted nearer the city, or for a new Btation being placed near the Mount Roskill Road. The dense popula tion now concentrated at Rocky Nook, Mount Roskill Road, Stoneyhurst, &c, with tho large increase which v- ill speedily come from the cutting up of tho Glonmore and other blocks in the samo vicinity, call for their convenience being consulted in the matter of communication with tho city. The residents of the locality aro talking of organising an agitation with a view to moving the Railway Department to action in this matter. Sovoral gontlomen havoalready written to tho railway manager and the Minister of Public Works on tho object, and it is probable that a peti tion will be prepared.and if this is done the signatures of many hundreds of oooplo would be readily obtained in support'of tho opening of a Rocky Nook Station and tho running of frequent local trains at suitable nonrs,

On the main lino to the Waikato tboro is continuous and populous settlement along we route as far as Otahuhu, and local trains, running right in to Auckland or con aectmgwiththe Onehunga trains at Penrose Junction, would prove a great public con- Tenience. A petition from 207 residents of utahuhu and others was recently forwarded Pm- ™ El Richardson, Minister of rub io Works, asking for a train to reach Auckland a few minutes before nine in the mowing, or at nine o'clock, and one to leave Auckland at a few minutes after five in the evening <>r at five o'clock. Other trains aMred, if possible, aro one leaving Otahuhu wont eleven o'clock in the morning, and one leaving Auckland about two o'clock w heafternoon. If thia petition should moot »«-any responsive action.the manysottlors Mween Mount Edon and Avondale may we hope of their wishee bein» also con '-ered, if properly laid before the Minister, ?r the population on the latter stretch of «c far exceeds that to bo served by local "ains to Otahuhu.

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

MrF. B, Water.-, of GroymovUh, N.Z.,

who is home on a visit, writes to tho " Daily News " corroborating Mr Arthur Clayclen's statement that the peoplo who abuso New Zealand as a field for emigration

are almost invariably either men who have not piven tho colony a fair trial, or feeblo creatures who would fail anywhere. Ho

offers to be of use to intending emigrants, winding up by averring that Groymouth is developing one of the largest coal deposits in tlio world.

Mr Harry Boll.son of Sir F.D.Boll.arrived home by tho steamer Arawa. I have not heard whether he come-: on a visit or to stay permanently.

Mr B. L. Fnrjoon's now novel "Tho Sacred Nugget" was published in three volumes on Thursday last. It is a very inferior work to his " Great Porter Square."

Colonel Stanley has appointed Mr R. Anstruthor and Mr 11. W. Just to bo his privato secretaries, and Lord Dunravon has taken Mr Frederick Graham, of tho Colonial Office, in tho samo capacity.

A rumour reaches me to tho effect that Captain Bono, of tho Tongariro, throws considerable doubt or, tho drawa's claim to

\le says ho knows for a fact tho vessel left Wellington 4 hours earlier than it pretends ;o havo dono.

It is just on the cards that an Anglo- Colonial journal of a similar nnturo to the

" Homo News," but containing moro matter of purely antipodean interest,may shortly be tried. A well-known Otago gentleman, now at homo, is spoken oi as the projector, and Mr Fivrjeon might lend some assist

From a copy of the Chicago " Railway Ago " which 1 can'o across the other day,

1 gather that tho Amoricans aro jubilant about Sir Julius Vogol's accusations against British locomotive builders. Tho "Ago" quotes at length from tho Treasurer's speech at Auckland, and exprosses itsolf "aghast at tho colossal self-concsit of tho Britishers " in asking tho New Zealand Government to robuild its bridges in ordor that their faulty locomotives could be used. Tho London wool market is in a rathor poor way, and, if tho agitation in somo German circles is successful, by another year it will bo in a poorer. Tho important Berlin paper, " Krouz Zeitung," has boon for some timo urging that tho interests of Gorman agriculture domand that army clothing contractors should be mado to uso only German wool.

The N.Z. Thamos Valloy Land Company,

I An extraordinary general meeting of this Company (extraordinary meetings are be coming distressingly common) was hold last Saturday at the offices in Graccchurch stroet, to approve tho heads of an ogroemeut modifying tho original contract witli tho vendors. Tho Chairman (Mr H. W. I.'emain Saunders) anticipated in his first words tho question of many shareholders : —Why had not this mattor been left to tho annual meeting, duo shortly, whon it could bo considered-in tho usual way after tho report had been issued. Tho answer was that tho deputation representing tho vendors wished to return spoedi'y to N.Z. Tho Chuirman therefore set the state of matters betore tho meeting without the holp of a balance sheet. Tho railway to Lichfield (a most important factor in tho original contract), which was to havo been completed by the end of '84, was still unfinished for lack of funds. Tho N.Z, Govornmont, however, havo undertaken (subject to the confirma tion of tho Colonial Farliamont) to finish tho work. In April last the Govornmont aceptod tenders for that objoct, and tho directors hoped that in a short time their lands would bo thus easily accessible from Auckland. This, coupled with the good quality and the .reasonable prico of the land, they believed would in duce a population to settle. In the moan time the Company had had difficulty in raising money on debentures, and the sale of land being impracticable, the financial position had become grave. Tho Company had entered into correspondence with the vendors, with the result thatropreeentativee of tho vendors had come to England ; and, after protracted negotiations, tho agree ment now proposed had been provisionally arrived at with tho Board of Directors. Tho agreement is that, in place of the entire amount of land proposed by the contract, thero should bo accepted the 103,000 acres more or less fully paid for. Tbo Company thus would havo no liabilities except about £44,000 of debentures, and tho direetois saw no need for isi-uing more debentures, nor oven 'or making a "call" for sumo til))*- to come. Upon the rovitco constitution and management., the Board I'clt they might fairly hopo that the asset.? oi the Company now in hand, with prospec tive i=uicw c>''und. woulci yiei*-' "J? - iyj resourcos necessary tor years to come, iio the Chairman proposed iv resolution auprovir.g of tlio heads of a-ceemem between the Company and ihe vendors, which, after a little discussion, was carried unanimously,

Our Labour Agents.

(To tbo Editor.)

Sir,—Having had our attention called to. a report of dishonesty existing amongst tho labour agent*) in our community, wo would refer those whoorosuffering in any way from thoir conduct to tlio Vagrant Act, which provides protection against frauds. In all cities thero may bo found fraudulent persons, and we cannot expect tho City of Auckland to bo entirely frco from that objectionable class. Whether they pro sent thomsolves no woven in tho shapo of lawyers, clerks, agents or clients, our Legislature has provided laws for tho pro tection of the simple and innocent as against sucb, and every right-minded lawyer, clork, agent, or client, will do their best to sup port and protect the honest person (though ho raw bo simplo) from what aro called " the Black Mail Gentry." As to tho unemployed, why do they not tako work when offered to thorn ': Wo fear simply for tho reason that thoy want all tho loaf or nono. Surely no honest, industrious, well meaning man would ovor bo so low as to plcail poverty while an employer was willing to divido profits with him. Wo sympathiso with thoso who, through accident, sickness, or infirmity, require charity and help, but wo abominate tho class of idlo loafers who want to rob their employers by working for three days a week for wages which will onablo them to loaf tho other three— It.
