Thames, this day. Machinery Accident at the Oueon of

Beauty. An accident, disastrous in its consequences to the Queen of Beauty Company, hap pened early yesterday morning. While the pumpa were being driven at full speed the enormous crank shaft stopped without warning, and within a few Beconds the driving wheel broke and tho pinions were irretrievably damaged. The engineer was fortunately close at hand, and turned off the water and steam, or the ruin would have been greater. Tho damage to the machinery is estimated to be nearly £500. Tho crank shank was 9J inches in diameter, and was formerly a propeller shaft of tho steamship Hero. A diagonal flaw threo inchea deep has been detected at the point where it parted. The directors have in timated they do not purpose restoring the plant, and have instructed the manager to take steps to save the material. About 30 men will be rendered idle by the stoppage of the mine.

New Eobeka (Otanui).—The manager has banked 161ozs amalpam, obtained from the tables last week while crushing 50 loads of quartz.

THE PREMIER'S JOURNEY.

Ho Arrives in Wangannl,

Wanganci, this day. The Premier, Messrs Blair, Mills, and Rochfort arrived last night from Taupo, and left again by special train for Foxton at midnight to catch the Wellington coach this morning. The Premier speaks highly of the river and land near the river that the railway taps. Ngate, an in fluential chief from Taumarunui, came with the Premier to Wanganui. It is the first time he has been here for years.

NORTH AUCKLAND RAILWAY.

Our Port Albert correspondent writes:—The question of tho extension of the North Auckland Railway from Helonsville is the question just now. The Yifjilance Committee met on Wed nesday. Correspondence from Kaukapakaps, Helenavillo, Mr Moat, M.H.R., and others was read and discussed. Mr J. Shepherd said that the report published by your contemporary to the effect that he favoured the Blrkenhead route was incorrect. He was decidedly in favonr of continuing the lino from Helensvillo. Mr Parker, representing Tauhoa, Mr J. Gar dener, Komokoriki, and Mr llardwick, Whare hine, were sorry that this idea of a now route should have arisen.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Calling Out too MUltia.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—The telegram from Wellington in your last ihsuo, that tho Government in tend calling out the Militia next week, is more disquieting than the Russians them selves are now likely to be. Letua hope that cooler and wiser counsels will prevail. What is there in our position to warrant an extreme measure of this exceptional kind? Many who will be called out will be unable to pay for substitutes, aud Militia service will imperil, perhaps, their means of living. No one dreams that we eball be deliberately invaded, or that it i» at all likely we shall have to repel any attack which our regular forces, aided by our Volunteers, could not meet. To call out the Militia in face of the marked dis couragement given to requests for permis sion to strengthen established companies of Volunteers, or to form new ones, would be incomprehensible. Mistrust of the efficionoy of the Volunteers could bo the only explanation. That more active and more continuous drill would be necessary in case of war, the Volunteers them selves would cheerfully admit. Many would go further and re-organise the whole body, re-forming the companies on a local basis in order to give greater conveni ence for squad or company drill, and to increase the facility with which they could assemble—as companies— at any point where their services might be suddenly requirod. The difference is this: As Volunteers the circumstances of the men are considered, and they would be en abled to devote ample time to drill and to target practice without the ruinous inter ruption of their ordinary pursuits. As Militiamen this would not be the case. To turn New Zealand into an armed camp is quite unwarranted, and would savour moro of panic than of cool preparation, and be a grave blunder. The Government have acted so vigorously, and have dono so well in tho defence works for our ports, that it would be regrettable to find them commit ting this blunder, making the service of the country wantonly oppressive, needlessly de ranging its ordinary business, and doing serious injury to those who are unable to pay for substitutes, or who are dependent on their daily wages. Upon them the burden of Militia duty must chiefly fall. It would be conscription in a partial form, and of the worst kind, quite unsuited to our circumstances and to the genius of our people, who are entitled taThave every opportunity given to them of offering them selves as Volunteers before being forced into the Militia.—l am, etc., F. J. Moss.

[Thie letter, recoived yesterday morning, was unavoidably croweded out of last night's issue.—Ed. E.S.]

Look to Your Guns.

(To tho Editor.)

Sm,—Now that everyone is thinking about brightening up their old firelocks in case of an invasion, an idea has struck me from the fact of having seen a model steam gun in operation at Home, which was made in this way : A horizontal tube, actingasa bar rel, with a vertical one at the butt end, filled with lead bullets, the steam rushing into the horizontal tube, and the balls dropping into the same, causing a continuous stream of shots till the vertical tube is empty, and could be directed at any angle, ao that it would sweep off a body of men in quick time. As' a matter of course, it would not be very effective at very long ranges, but for close quarters there woula not be much doubt about it. There being so many steam engines in and about the sitgb they could each supply themselves with a similar engine of defence at a very little cost, and could, at all events, protect their own pro perty ; that is, if wo should have the bad luck to see a lot of Muscovites marching down the streets.—Youre, Binsted, senr., Bichmond. April 27, 1885.

Cemetery Sacrilege.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—l have had occasion during the last few months; to pay a visit to the Presby terian Cemetery on Sundays, and on each occasion, whether before noon or after, I have found the larrikin clement rampant to a horrifying degree The shouting, bad language, and unseemly romping must indeed be very hurtful to the feelings of any mourner, while the card playing on top of ithe very tombstones is a horrible die grace, not only to those who indulge in, it but also to those who have the control of the place. I pen this hoping that it may catch the eye of those who can, and will, immediately make the necessary reform.— Yours, &c, Kknt.

" Orlando" writes calling attention to No. 179 in the Ait Exhibition, of which he observes : " To judge from the numbers of people constantly gathered round it, this is certainly the centre of attraction in the Exhibition. It i 8 easily recognised as a representation of one of the most touching scenes in that pathetic etory ' The Babes in the Wood,' where one of the ruffians, after killing his companion in crime, is taking leave of the children, beguiling them with promises of his speedy return. J.ne innocent and confiding expression on the faoea of the babes is beautifully por trayed, forming a strong contrast to the villainous face of the ruffian, who is leaving them to their fate. It is altogether a won derful picture, and I am surpriued that it has not been noticed in your review. As some one said of Mark Twain's Map of Paris, it is the only one of its kind I have ever seen."

W. G. Garrard dieapprovoa of the Vete rans Corps. He remarks :—" Some mad brained gulpinge and lunatics want to be thought something of by the big public, but they will look very low in the eyes of the working public, for any eeneible man that has smelt powder, or has been shot at or bayonetted, is not such a fool to come forward again to be ehot at for nothing; nobody but fools and lunatics would."
