ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(From Odh London CoRBEsi'ONbKNT),

London, January ]'i Annexation. TAk nowe of tho Gorman annexation to Now Guinea has raised a storm of indignation, throughout tho length and breadth of Eng land, and tho paporo have boon flooded with lottovs from all BoVts of people denouncing tho notion of tho Govornm'ont in no uioasnrod to'rms. Evon papers which usually support tho C-ovornment liAve ti'mioc* Against tho Ministry, And the policy of Lord tWbjy in atopping English ci-niJxAtton and thon allowing Gormany to plunt her flog whoro ours should bo has boon, to way tho loast of it, vory sovoroly crilicieod. Directly tho country had ceased to pour out tho vials of its Wrath upon tho dovotod head of tho Uovornttißnfc, it was rumoured that Lord Dorby would soon I'ofilgu his ollico as Colonial Socr^i.y, Whothor this roport is tjl^ or no {;, 1 cannot say, but I knOw1 tills much—that nothing Would givo more satisfaction to a vory large party of politicians than to 800 Lord Dorby superseded by a mail of powor, ability, and jud^moht. Lord Derby's wholo tonuro of oflico has boon bno long repetition of glaring errors, and -his policy with regard to each Of our colonios may bo doaeribod ac sl'dw, Wtbctilo, diid woalc. As soon an Earl Derby's retirement wan spokon of, tho riamb of his successor was frooly givon. It ifl Bald that &ord Rosobery is rlosivaiu at filling tho post, and wo eannet wish to too a oettor mr»n to Buooeod Lord Derby. Confiding Colonists. A rooont numbor of " Truth " gave come oxtraots from a Melbourne paper of tho " impressions" of Thotiipaon, tho boolt mnkof, Who visited England last racing season, Thompson seems to havo boon drawing the long bow considerably during his interview, for ho says that tho loading bookmakers in England "are gentlemen, and are fronted liko Rontlemen,' and that " jockoyflaro swells, and keopthoir valete." If Australians bellevo this, they will beliove anything. Tho Frozen Moat Trade-Arrival of the EMorsllo from Oamaru. Ou the 19th of December tho steamer Eldorslie, from Oamaru, arrived safely at tho Victoria Docks with a cargo of 22,961 shoop, C6O half carcases, and 14 carcases of lamb, all of which aro reported to bo in ex cellent ordor. On tho following Monday a number connected with Lloyd's and the ownors and charterers of tho veseol inspected tho stcamor and hor cargo, Tho sheep are consigned to tho Australian Company (Limited), so that no New Zealand importers woro present ; but Mr Martin, (of Turnbull, Martin, and Co., of Glasgow), ono of the ownors of tho vessel, Mr JU. Langbridgo, Mr J. Wotherapoon, under whose inspection the Eldornlio Was built, and Several other Aus tralian merchant?) looked over tho ship, and afterwards lunched togother on board her. Tho arrival of tllb Eldorslio wds noticed in dl the pnpurs, and several of tho dailies had lea'dors on the frozen meat trade the day aftor sho arrived. Tho " Morning Post" says:—" Tho arrival'of tho Elderslie with its unprecedented consignment may bo said to mark a new departure in tho frozen meat trade. Hithorto ships havo been fitted only partially with refrigerating chambers, ana only a comparatively small cargo of sheep taken on boSrd. Neither shippers nor Breeders wore particularly sanguine bf tbolr ability to carry tho new enterprise through ; hence tho export of what mil noVv bo ro gardod as very small consignments of frozen mutton. But at last the experiment has been tried on a really gigantic scale, and com plolo success has attended it. We may expect now tho arrival of a regular series of cargood of New Zealand and Australian mutton equal in size to that which now lie* in tho Victoria Docks ready for consump tion," Tho "St. James's Gazette " says i "Tho arrival in this country in eno cargo of nearlj' 25,(K)& Irozen carcases of New Zea land sheep is a fact of considerable signifi cance, it shows to what enormous pro port ions tho frozen meat trado ia likely to attnJn, though eferMin Halts f<nd tUfficilftlos ttill stand Stand in its way; Tho ordinary danger of lone voyages will, of course, Always havo to be met, but thoro are other difficulties to bo got over. Until quito recently tho rofrigorating machines had a habit of gotting out of order on very slight provocation, and directly their icy breath was withhold unpleasant conebc^uencoi en sued. Till prejudice in thio country against iiipbrted moat is largely tlus to tho occasional distribution of cargoes of ' chilled' boof or mutton, tho tcxturos and flavour of which aro abominable. Even now that tho apparatus for refrigerating has boon brought so much nearer porfeor tion, there is always a chanco of its break ing down during tho voyage, and thus spoiling every carcaeo on board. It is this consideration which made the Elderslio venture so courageous a ono. Had hor cargo gone wrong, tho loss would havo been serious indeed." Tho writer then goes into figures to prove that at presont tho shipper can hardly make any profit, and concludes by saying, "Ono im portant matter needs attention. Many butchers pass off tho best imported mutton as English, and soil enly the Inferior con signments for what they are. And now that New Zealand is getting so good a name for tho moat, it is extremely likely that a variation of this device will be re sorted to, and its namo given to the less fat and juicy products of Australia and the ltiver Plato." Tho State of tbe Market. Christmas timo always has a depressing effect on the price of mutton, for every Englishman thinks it hie duty to consume an enormous amount of roaat beef at this soason of tho yoar. Frozen mutton is now fetching about fld a Ib, somo as much as fijd. Messrs Ward and Stimpaon givo tho fol lowing quotations :—New Zealand mutton, 3s to iJs 4d per Slbs ; Melbourne, 3s to 3s 4d ; Sydnoy, 2s 6d to 2s lOd ; River Plate, 2s (id to 2s lOd ; Dutch, 3s to 4s ; English (middling), 3s to 4s. Somo of tho Eldorslio's cargo has been sold, and reached 5Jd. The Ruapehu and the Victory are due in about a week and a fortnight respectively, and as each brings a largo cargo of mutton, wo may expect prices to be somewhat low. Tho English Mastership of tbe Otago High School, Sir F. Dillon 801 l and Dr. Macdonald have at last selected a new English master for the Otago Boys' High School. Ono hundred and twenty applications were sent in for tho post, and the sifting of these took a long timo. The gentleman chosen is a Mr Edward Morrison, M.A., who comes from Morchieton Caetls School, Edinburgh. Mr Morrison ia 16 years of age, and has had a good deal of experience in teaching, having been at the Madras College before going to Merchiston. The date of Mr Morrison's departure for New Zealand is not yet fixed, but ho will probably leave in the Talnul on January 28th. Tawhlno'a Welcome Homo. The report of Tawhiao's speech at the Blue Ribbon meeting in Auckland on October 22nd has caused a good deal of amusement in London, The "Daily News" of December 23rd contained a paragraph, evidently from the pen of Mr F. W, Chesson, describing the reception of the chiefs in Auckland, in which Tawhiao is said to have stated that he did not see a single drunken man during his stay in England. "If Tawhiao did really pay this, either his memory or his eyesight lrust bo very deficient; for I remember well how, on Whit Monday last, when I had the pleasure of escorting the chiefs from the Sorata to the city, Tawhiao at one station formed the centre of a circle of drunken stokers who danped round_ the King with great glee, until the arrival of a policeman on the scene made them sheer off, after giving his majesty three very drunken cheers.

This body has now 910 corps, namely :—ln the United Kingdom, G37 ; Canada, 71; United States, 50; South Australia, 35; and New Zealand, 23. Thus New Zealand occupies the fifth place. The " Pall Mall Gazette" of December 22, 1884, contained a clever article on New Guinea and the Pacific, from the able pen of Mr F. P. Labilliere. This was supplemented on the following day by a letter on the same subject from Mr Frederick Young (Hon. Sec. of the Royal Colonial Institute), Mr W. Fill.ingham Parr contributed to the "Morning Post" of December 24th a long and interesting letter on the native population of Fiji. The "World" gives a curious case of " virtue rewarded" which has occurred lately in Dublin, and been given publicity through the law courts. Some forty years ago, it seems, a servant was enabled, by the bounty of her master, to emigrate to Aus tralia.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The wetkly meeting of the above body was held last Friday afternoon, Mr S. Luke (Chairman) presiding. Mr Theo. Cooper was appointed a visiting member to the Girls' High School wcc|Professor Aldis, re signed. A lottor was roceived from the Education Department intimating that the Government had decidod to distribute £50,000 out of the School Buildings vote amongst the Beveral Education Boards in proportion to tho population, the same as List year, and stating that the Auckland Board's share would bo £9,082. It was re solved to hold a Bpocial meeting on Tues day next, at 3 p.m., for the purpose of arranging for the judicious expenditure of the vote in question, A lottor was received from Mr Maxwell, General Manager of Railways, stating that a regulation in re gard to free school tickets was gazetted to come into forco on the 19th mat. The re gulation was to the effect that aecond-olass quarterly tickets might be issued upon the schoolmaster's cortiheate to school children not over 14 years of ago attending the Go vernment primary schools, subject to tho condition that there was no primary school in the vicinity. This matter also was postponed for consideration till Tues day next; A circular from tho Education Department invited the Board's attention to tho great necessity of including in the programme of the second ary schools as much instruction as possible in subjects that have a direct bearing upon the technical arts of modern lifo. Endow ments and other public aid had been bestowed on Grammar and High Schools to enable them to supply to all classes, and not to the professional classes only, a course of study preparatory to tho more direct and immediate training for special careers. The secondary schools should therefore bo prepared to supplement the primary schools, and to carry on pupils trained in them to higher studies. Something should bo dons to create a bias towards industries, andtheschooUof thecolony might do good service by taking up suoh subjects as geometrical and mechanical drawing, and the handling of tools as well as physics and chemistry. Good work might also be done by holding, for a few months in each year, evening classes, in which apprentices and others might have an opportunity of getting sound instruction in drawing and other subjects connected with their busi nesses or trades, Tho Chairman re marked that to Borne extent the Board had already mado provision for the objects specified. The circular was referred to the visiting Committee of the Girl's High School. A letter was received from A. Hosking, ex-School 'Committeomen for Euapuke, reporting that the meeting of householders had lapsed, and that conse quently no committee was elected. Another letter was received from Wm, Johnstone, ex-school teacher, stating that the meeting had been held, and a committee elected, the names ef tho members being appended. It was resolved to inquire into the matter. An application for water supply from Ponsonby was granted. Miss Woodward was appointed assistant mistress at One hunga. Tho committee appointed to con sider the question of bankruptcy of Mr Peacocke, assistant inspector, did not bring up its report, as Mr Peacocke had only that morning furnished a statement of his finan cial dealings during the past two years. It was assenting to the inquiry as Mr Peacocke, had stated that he had not been living extravagantly. Mr J. J. Roach, clerk, applied for an increase of hie salary of £200. An increase of £25 was made. Various other matters where disposed of, and the meeting adjourned.

INQUESTS.

An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon before Dr. PhJlaon, coroner, and a jury, at Ellerslie Hotel, on the body of Henry Auber Martin, who died on the previous day from a gunshot wound. The particu lars of this unfortunate accident have already been published in the Star. Colonel Dawßon waselectedforomanof tho jury. The witnesses were Mr Albin Martin (father of deceased), Mr Keynall, and Sergeant Greeno. Tho result of the inquiry was, "Deceased was found dead, with a gun shot wound in the breast, opposite the heart, but thero is no evidonco to show how the injury was roceived."

A correspondent "Growler" writes:— " When are we going to havd proper com petent persons at the Telephone Exchange ? At present it is a delusion and a snare. You can got messages sent quicker than you got a reply from the central office. The Government are not keeping good faith with the public." "Mater" indignantly writes: — "How much longer is the fish monopoly going to be allowed to continue? Instead of 4 schnapper for sixpence we now get two for a shilling, and three small flatfish for the same money, while our harbours teem with fish. Are all our enterprising men up a tree ? Or what is the cause of the neglect of this profitable work. Have a ring got it in hand?"
