STEADIER ASHORE NEAR THE FRENCH PASS.

(BY TELEGRAPH. — PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Nur.soK, this day. The Anchor lino steamer Wallace left Nel son at 11.30 on Friday night for Wollington. On reaching Beef Bun ells, near tho French Pasßi she went ashoro while going at tho rato of ten knots an hour. Sho broko off wliolo blades of her propeller, and some of tho bottom platea were dented. On being got off, tho ongineer reported, that she was making water. A boat was cot out, and tho vessel was towed across to the mainland, and beached in Waikara Bay. Three pumps were worked by steam, and the passengers just hepl; her from sinking. Tho leak having been stopped with tallow packing, and sparo propeller blades put on, tho vessel returned to Nelson on Sun day morning. Mr Paul, chief officer, was in charge at tho time of the accident. An enquiry was held in tho afternoon, boforo Mr Curtis, R.M., and Commander King, R.N. Captain Bruce deposed that he was reading in his cabin, the chief ollicer, W. F. Paul, who holds a master's certificate, being in charge. Mr Paul atates he was steering by the land, the night boing dark but clear, and giving direc tions to the man at tho wheel. Ho was a mile out of the ordinary course when tho casualty occurred, but was trying to make a short cut to catch the tide in tho Pass. Ho must have misjudged his distance from the Beef Borrolls. Ho was drowsy at the time, and might huvo boon nodding a bit, but was not asleep. Ho expected tho accident was tho result of his nodding. He could not account for it in any other way. On Thurtday ho was up at six, and on duty till cloven p.m. The ship being on tho cradle on Friday, he was up at four a.m., and at work till half-past eleven p.m. He went on watch at midnight again. The Court suspended the chief officer's certificate for three months, but to mark the apprecia tion of tho straightforward way he gave his evidenco, refused to mulct him in costs. Tho steamer is not much injured. Sho has been under repairs all day, and will be roady for eca to-night.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The To Aroha Goldfield.

(To the Editor.)

SIR, —I read with interest " Silex'a " letter in your impression of the 3rd inst., "To A roha Goldfield and its Future." If any one will carefully examine the figures " Silex" has favoured us with, there is only one conclusion possible to come to, and that is, the interest of the shareholders is quite ignored. The advantage of being able to work our mines by free levels is recognised by all, and the opinion of practical men is that the field should be worked very cheaply and profitably. The returns show that during tho past yoar 11,619 tons of quartz have boon crushed from different parts of the field for a yield of 10,3280z8. lOdwts. of gold, which is within a traction of lSdwts. of gold to tho ton of quartz crushed. Now look at these figures in comparison with Waihi. Mr Moore, some two years ago, took chargo of tho Martha mino, at VVaihl, and found tho mino some .£1,200 in dobt. What has ho done? Ho has paid oft' this debt, and ha? over £700 of a balanco standing to the credit of tho Company. And how has this been done? With your pennyweights dirt, as against 18 pennyweights dirts at To Aroha. It is cap ablo management as against incapable man agement. I will admit tho Waihi quartz is easier won and crushed, but a few shillings per ton will bring tho two togother, The battery of 30 head at Waihi costs £G0 a month to run, and the cost of crushing l\ tons is 3s, or about 2s 5d per ton, as against ("Silox")To Aroha charges—New Find, £1 3s yd ; Colonist, 20s per ton. Now, what are the ordinary charges for crushing at the Thames? A load of 40 feet is crushed for Ss, or about Is lOd per ton, and all the blanketings treated for this charge, whilst a truck at To Aroha, 32 feet, is charged £1 Is 3d a ton (allowing only 24 foet to the ton). Only one berdun of a veryslugguh disposition is allowed to tho five head of stamps whilst crushing to treat the blanketings ; thus the greater part of the treatment of the blanketings comes under tho heading of extras. A Te Aroha Battery Company'scrushingaccount reminds one very much of a lawyer's bill of costs. Tho exorbitant chargo for berdans makes tho different companies careless to have their tailings treated, and in many instances tho tailings are run away into the roeorved nesl-, to bo appropriated by the Battery Company for their entire profit. At tho beginning of last year tho Now Find's tailings were tested, and showed to bo worth loz. lSdwts. of gold por load. Tho year's operations show that tho Com pany lias paid the Battery Company over £1,000 for tho uso of berdans to treat tailings alono, and that tho not profit accruing to tho Now Find Company is only about 3s 9d por ton of tailings troatod. At the Thames, tailings testing £ an ounco of gold to the load sell readily for ss, and the purchasers pay for oxpensive hauling into the bargain. It muct bo obvious to any ono that if what Messrs Firth and Clark state is correct, when askod to reduco tho charges for crushing and for berdans, tho battery is not pay ing. A very largo leakage exists, which should bo immediately stopped. I don't hositato to say the life-blood of tho fiold has been sapped from its commoneomont by in competent management, and it be hoves tho directors to no longer adopt a vacillating policy, but to rodolvo, if thoy cannot mako something for tho shareholders, to stop oporations until a chango of circumstances will onable them to do so. No right-minded person would wish Messrs Firth and plark to lose money by thoir vonturo in erecting a battery at Waiorongoraai; but our wishes must bo tompered with reason, and if thoso gentlomon, in spite of ropoatod warnings and practical advice, determine at all neks that extravugant management to tho dotriinent of the shareholders shall exist to satisfy a whim which has been brought into life by a plausible tongue, they must not censure the public if they dony thorn thoir further support and sympathy.—Yours faithfully, Ed. Khuusy Cooper.

Our Free Library Site.

(To the Editor.)

Sm, —I hear that it is proposed to get up a petition for the purpose of preventing our city fathers from carrying out their mad proposal to erect the Free Library near Crowther's stables. The only recommenda tion that I can see in that sito is that swell visitors might conveniently got a carriage on a wet night. There is no room for ex tension of building, it is out of the way, and thoro is great danger from firo. Tho other proposed site is free from all such objec tions. Let any unprejudiced man examine the two places, and ho will soon arrive at the saino conclusion.—Yours, &c, Auck- LANDAU,

Professor Hugo in Reply.

(To the Editor.)

Sik, — "Ilia duo vereor ut tibi passim con cedere." That the remarks referring to German colonisation, upon which Mr Yon der Heydo bases his somewhat fulminatory letter, are sentiments uttered by me is the first point which, in the words of Cicero, I cannot concede to your esteemed correspondent, and that I spoke dis paragingly about German civilisation is the point which I cannot concede. What I said with referenco to the first-mentioned sub ject was this, that notwithstanding the Germans being individually indus trious and intelligent colonists, a national policy of colonisation formu lated by any empire which is not moulded on the principles of constitutional self government cannot be prosperous. It is hardly necessary to cite illustrations in support of this theory, inasmuch' as all the colonising attempts made by various Euro pean nations demonstrate the proposition. Regarding my want of acquaintance with German civilisation, allow me to inform your correspondent that had he ascertained the correct tone of my lecturo, he would haye_ formed a different opinion. Indeed, my opinions on the annexation question spring from the fact that politically I am a disciple of the great German Dr. Carl Max,—l ara, etc., Oswald E. Hugo

A SALVATION ARMY NUISANCE.

(lIY TELEGRAPH,— PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Blenheim, this day. Linux. Tkasdams and seven membors of tho Salvation Army were charged yesterday morning, in tho Resident Magistrate's Court, on tho information of tho local manager of the Bank of New Zealand, with obstructing tho Market Place, by holding a mooting on tho afternoon of Sunday, 4th instant. A second information charges Baker, Secretary of the Army, and resident in Wellington, though recently on a visit to Blenheim, with wantonly annoying the informant by beating a big drum in front of his residence in Market Place. At the meetings which have been recently held in the centre of the thoroughfare, opposite complainant's house, tho standard-bearer stood in the centre, and tho soldiers marched round and round him in a circle with accompaniment of drum, cornet, and fiVes. It is alleged that vehicles and pedestrians were prevented from passing along in tho ordinary way through the Army collecting a crowd variously esti matod at from 200 to 500. Tho case excited great interest. A largo number of witnosses for the defendants marched down to the Court singing a hymn, aHd on enter ing knelt down on the floor of the Court house and prayed for divine guidance on all concerned. The defenco was that no -ob struction was caused.

"npfl-E NEW ZEALAND FARMER, BEE AND POULTRY JOURNAL," An Illustrated Agricultural. Pvbtohal, and Horticultural Monthly Magazine. Owing to the rapid extension of agriculture and rural industries of all kinds throughout the colony, tho proprietor of the Auckland Stab believes the interests of thoaa engaged in such industries demand the establishment of an agri cultural journal of a-moroooraprohonsiva char acter and wider scope of usefulness than aiy now published in this colony. He has thovef*o determined to issue an Illustrated Monthl/. t • be called The New Zealand Farmhb Beb and Poultry Journal. He haß purchased and will incorporate with the new journal the agricultural publication so long ispaed undei the title of " The North New Zeptend Settler and Country Magazine." The now journal will be twice the size of the " Settler," with an ornamental coloured cover j and care will bo taken to make it equally useful as a medium of practical information upon all topics connected with rural pursuits to residents in all parts of New Zealand. It will bo the pro prietor's aim to adopt the best features of other journals of this class published in Great Britain and America, and thus to provide for farmers, Btock-brecders, horticulturists, and everyone following rural avocations, a high-class journal which shall afford reliable information upon all matters pertaining to their several occupations, while it strives to promote their special interests in all respects. Competent writers, possessing special know lodge of tho subjects dealt with in the several departments of the paper, have been engaged These soveral departments will to kept di&tlnci from one another, and will embrace the follow ing subjects :—Agriculture, including Stock breeding and Dairy Work ; Wool Growing ; Horticulture ; Fruit Growing; Special Crops and Sub-Tropical Industries; Poultry, Bee Keeping, &c. The illustrations will be the best of their kind both an regards drawing and engraving, and will add immensely to the practical value and attractions of the paper. Tho Subscription (payable in advance) will bo 10s yearly, or 69 half-yearly (post paidl ; and from the steady increase in popular favour which the " Settler" has enjoyed, the proprietor believes he can con fidently look forward to securing a wide and immediate circulation for a journal so much superior to its predecessor as it is his intention to make The New Zealand Farmer, Bee and Poultry Journal. <ES, The first number of the Farmer will be issued about the 2lßt itstant, and persons wish ing to subscribe should send in their names at once to the Star Office.
