For the cause that lacks assistance, For tho wrong that needs resistance. For the future in the distance, And tho gaod that we can do.

Mail advices by the Zealandia place us in possession of further information regarding tho Panama Canal works, and this is not of tho most hopeful kind, so far as the date of completion is concerned. The investigation and report made some timo ago by Com mnndor Gorringo, formerly of the United States Navy, though discredited in Bomo quarters, would seem to bo thoroughly ro liable and free from exaggeration, being published in an official bul letin of the Panama Canal Company. Ac cording to this report, in tho month ' of July last, only one-seventctnth part of the actual cutting on the canal had been finished, while the expenses so far incurred amounted toonosixthof the total estimated outlay. Commander Gorringe concluded that the canal would eventually cost and be completed at tho latest by January, IS9O. Since that dato.however, the work has been pushed forward with increased vigour and success. The American contractor, Nathaniel McKay, reports that 20,0 0 natives of the Caribbean islands are employed in piercing theisthmus. They are mostly occupied in cutting im mense trenches through tho hills, which will bo carried down to a level with tho ocean Confidence in the ability of Baron do Leeseps I continues unabated, and a triumphant issue to tho vast undertaking is expected ; but, none the le3s, the publication of Presi dent Arthur's statement on the subject of tho treaty with .Nicaragua caused something liko a panic among holders of Panama stock, a large number of shares changing hands in conaequenco of it, though prices donot seem to have been materially affected. The United States treaty with Nicaragua has indeed put a'now complexion upon tho Panama Canal business.' It proves that the "'cute Yankees" have come to recog nise the success of the undertaking as un-

doubter], and have oponcd their eyes to the nscessity of doing something else than

depreciate and bluster. Instead of making a "row" about the control of tho Panama

Canal, they are steadily setting their energies in the direction of securing an inter-oceanic canal of their own through tho republic of Nicaragua, and tho treaty alluded to is but a preliminarj step towards that consummation. Judging by the vast and rapid increase of traffic through thoSuci; Canal, there will be ample room for the two great ship-ways from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Americans are anxious to have water communication opened through tho isthmus, in order to overthrow existing railway monopolies ; but their national pride will not allow them to use.the Panama Canal, and hence tho clamour for one at Nicaragua, which it is contended should be constructed by the United States Govern ment. At Nicaragua there are not the same difficulties to contend withasatPanama, and if the work were taken in hand at once both canals might ' yet be completed con temporaneously. A San Francisco paper says: —"The river San Juan is a natural canal, which only needs dredging and lock ing, from the Atlantic to tho lake. In the lake a channel can easily be made for the largest vessels, and at Rivas, on the bay of Salinas, it is but six or eight miles from the lake to the Pacific. The cut through the Coast Range is far less of an enterprise than the Mont Cenis tunnel was, and the dreaded.

bars at the entraco of tho l'acifie harbour can Sio doubt bo removed." To this coloyy,

snd to Auckland in particular, tho making of these canals will prove of immoneo .ni vantage, for as compstition is tho life (f tade, so those competing charm Is of coirtj munication will be the means of stimulating traffic, keeping down freights, and bcnolit ting exporters and importers in New Zea land. It is unfortunate that wo havo to .wait other live years for tho completion of t'io work ; but it ia reassuring to know that no fear of failure need be allowed to damp our hopes.

The full advices received 'jy llio mail re garding the statements mado in both Houses of tho English Parliament,on (lie condition of the Navy show the salient pnln.ta wore embraced in the cabla lufsgujjca published some fix weeks Rjj'o.

England Imi'i live turret rijip*, and Ifrniicti three. The English armoured ships were more powerful and pociter-cwJ £i eater speed. Thirty - three itnariiiourcd i-liips were being completed for Ilio Oo vernment, and it was intended to ask for an additional C),08."),000 for naval eons-rue lion. It Is intended to build four lirst-cln-is ironclads), two by contract and two in dockyards, each with 110 lon guns in ili!i turroV, besides a bvoadMde mmouicnt, anil havinj? i\ speed of 1.1.\ knots. Three belted cruisers aio lo bo constructed by emit rant, and two in dockyards; :>lso, ten tor]!odn rams and thirty torpodo vossels. All the ships in hand aro to be rapidly pushed forward. Moreover, t'!i7li,C(Kj will ba spent in defences at first-chips coaling stations, whoreof India and tho colonies contribute .■C3SG.OOO; on tho second • does stations £158,000 is to be spent; and measures are proposed to protect commercial harbours. An immediate expenditure of i' 1,600,000 on naval ordnaneo is contemplated. The total expenditure of £5,500,000 will be spread over iivo years. Lord Northbronk, tho first Lord of tho Admiralty, was, it is said, inclined towards a moro economi cal course,—thinking a vigorous system of repairs, supplemented by tho building of a few ships, would supply all tho substantial necessities of tho situation, and place tho navy in a position to capo with any foroign Power. Tlio noble Lord's, idea was, ol course, that naval science boing in a transi tion stato, it was not wise to enter into any largo schemo for increasing tho navy all at onco; and thero was so much cogency in his views that they have been allowed to inlluonco to soino extent tho fiction of Government, though public opinion do manded that there should bo no stinting, in order that the navy should bo rendered invincible. Tlio popular anxiety has been completely allayed l>y (he measure? resolved upon, which, it is, hoped, will L'Cprosecuted with onergy.

A striking iustar.ee of "red topoism " has just beon brought under our notice. On 25th Oct., ISSI, Mr Richard Marsh was arrested on suspicion of being a lunatic, and as is customary ho was searched and all property found on him taken in charge by the police. As our readers are awaro, ho was shortly afterwards found to be sane, and liberated accordingly ; but it was only this week that he had returned to him a sum of i' 2, which was in his pocket when searched. For this money Mr Marsh had made repeated applications before it was finally returned by tho agent for the Public Trustee, but apparently tho authorities were not satisfied that he was sufficiently sane- to tako charge of tho cash, though they had granted him personal liberty three years ago. Either in token of the official indecision, or by way of gratuitous insult, tho envelope in which the money was enclosed has tho offensive docket—" I'ichard March, Lunatic." Red tapo is bad enough in itself, without having vulgar Impertinence superadued, which M7f Marsh complains has been done in his ease.

The directors of tho New Zealand Timber Company, having good cause for suspecting that tho fire which destroyed their mill was tho work of a malicious incendiary, offer a reward of £100 to any ptrson who will give information loading to tho conviction of the Criminal. It is hoped that tho Government will also guarantee a free pardon to any accomplice, not the actual offender, who will turn Queen's evidence If it be true that this disaster, which has destroyed thousands of pounds worth of valuable pro perty, thrown a large body of workmen out of employment, and imposed upon thorn serious pecuniary loss, has been wilfully caused by some malicious vagabond, no punishment would bo too severe for him.

Personally he'was opposed to removing tho restrictions, aa he believed that disease might be transmitted not only through grapos, but also by the im portation of raisins. Communications that the Government had received from the Governments of Australian colonies showed that whereas Adelaide is clean, Victoria and Sydney wero still infected, and he thought a danger of infection to New Zea land might arise if grapos wero shipped at Melbourne for this colony. Ho considered

that people should be glad of restrictions, as they tended to creata an industry. However, he promised to confer with hie colleagues and forward their decision,

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(FnoM Quit London CoRR'wrosDEST),

London', December 4. The Princo of Wales ami tho Colonial EKliibltion.

TilE letter from the Prince of Wales relative to the Indian and Colonial Exhibition of 163G, dated Marlboiough House, November 24, was published in the cvenin;: papers of tho 25th, and at onco cabled in full to all the Australasian colonies. It will, tho Exocutive hope, have tho effect o: rousing colonial interest in the mammoth under taking and inducing intending exhibitors to set about preparing their trophies without delay. There can be no doubt the Prince of vVflles intends the "Colonies" (as it has alread been dubbed) shall altogether out ahino either the " Healtheriea " or tho " In vontories," and J1.1i.11. seldom takes up a job (as ho has this) without currying it through triumphantly. The summer of 1886 consequently promises to attract a rare gathering of colonists from oil quarters of tho Empire to London ; indeed, I should advise New Zealandora who contemplate a visitto th-s Old Country to time their arrival about tho date of tho opening of the Ex hibition—viz., May 14th, lS&.i. The space set apart for New Zealand in tho Indian and Colonial Exhibition consists of a portion of tho east and south central transepts, and covers 7,100 foot. The colony will also bo entitled to her chare of the South Central Hall, which is to be devoted to a joint display of Australian products. The Frozen Produce Restaurant (fish, nosh, fowl, ami fruit), which was to have been tried at tho Heatheries, will ho made a special feature of in 188G, and there are alrio to be colonial fruit and vegetable mar kets, tho intention being to give the public an idea of tho foods available in different parts of the Empire. All your show-cases must be made of New Zealand woods, and it is hoped that in addition to a noble dis play of special products, Maori relics, &c, thero will be such photos, and models of the Hot Lakes Wonderland as will attract special attention. Personal and General. The respected and popular commander of tho steamer Aorangi was married on the 20th November to Miss Helena Bingham, daughter of the Hon. A. J.

By the timo they reach the colony, these vermin will have cost a pretty penny.

Mr Andrew Pringlo, of Craiglench, Lang holm, dolivered eu interesting lecture on Wednesday week in tho Exchange Hall, Howick, N. 8., descriptive of his recent travels in Australia and New Zealand. Tho discourso was illustrated by upwards of 60 views of scones and places taken by Mr Pringle on his tour. Tho photos, of the Southern Sounds and Hot Lakes of New Zealand wore (according to a local paper) specially successful.

Vcsey Stewart's Scheme.

Mr & Voeey Stewart returned to town at the end of last week, after lecturing at Edinburgh, Leicester, and Lincoln. He had good houses on each occasion, and says tho resulta fullyequalled his expectations. Novertlioloss, Moasra Shaw-Savillo havo not, so far, booked many passengers on his account.

To tho "New Zealand Commercial Agency," " Now Zealand Estate Agency," and "New Zealand Land, Estate, and Pas senger Agency," tho indefatigable Vcsoy has now added tho "Now Zealand Cadet Agency," which, Ilearn from the prospectus, is to be the moans of "training tho sons of gentlemen for colonial life by giving them (1) a commercial-office training in London ; (2) finding them an approved home and sending them, when qualified, to either commercial or farming pursuits in Now Zealand." This prospectus further avers that the Cadet Agency will bo the means of enabling young men to secure inde pendenco in the fine colony of Now Zea land, and that Mr Stewart must be " satisfied that tho friends of tho candidate are able to bear the necessary expenses." Nothing further has been heard of the prospectus of the Rotorua Railway Com pany. Mr Stewart either doesn't know anything or won't tell what ho does know.

Dr. Erson, of Otahului, and tho Fishermen.

' Dr. Leger Erson, ofOtahuhu, near Auck land, arrived hero about a month ago on a private mission associated with the fishGr men of Devon and Cornwall. From what I can gather, it seems to be Dr. Erson's opinion that the fisheries in Auckland waters are capable of indefinite extension, and that tho experienced pilchard and general fishermen of Cornwall and Devon— who thoroughly understand tho various methods of smoking, salting, Ac—are of all others tho persons to develop thorn. Dr. Erson went to Cornwall, and found the fishermen willing enough to accept his view of the circumstances; but, unfortunately, Sir F. D. Bell wasn't equally complaisant. Whether he dis believed in the doctor's theory, or whether he was simply unablo to help him, I don't know ; anyhow he declined to grant the fishermen special facilities for emigration, so Dr. Erson has to return to the colony, and get them " nominated " from your side. He goes out in medical chargo ot the Nor thumborland, now on the point of sailing. On the merits of the scheme itself I am not in a position to offor an opinion, but it doesn't sound very feasible.

Date of Mr Thomaa Spurgcon's Keturn

In answer to a query us to when ho e:cpeo(s to reach Auckland and resume his pastorate, Mr Thomas Spurgeon writes:—"l leave Plymouth in th<s T.i^uria on I^-ccr.ibov l?fh for New Zealand via Melbourne and Tasmania.

GENERAL SUMMARY

Ismail Pasha, ex-Khedive of Egypt, has arrived in London from Paris.

Heavy snowstorms are reported from many parts of the country, and the weather is very severe in Scotland. The Christmas show of fat cattle opened at Birmingham on November 29, and com pares favourably with the shows of former years. The fortieth anniversary of the birth of the Princess of Wales was celebrated on December 1, in the customary manner.

Lord Wolsoley continues to make satis factory progress towards Khartoum. Ho has now oil'ered a reward of £100 to the regiment which makes the quickest despatch in getting from Sarras to Debbeh, and the sum :s to be divided between the non-com missioned officers and privates.

Attention is drawn to the vast amount of infanticide, caused by the facilities for baby insurance, and a London coroner has as serted that of tb.6 infants killed by overlying three out of four are murdered by their mothers to obtain the insurance money.

Prince Bismarck has just confessed that he keeps the clerks in his office at work all day long, and often until midnight, and that they are worse paid than clerks in private employment.

There is no confirmation of the report that tho Prince of Wales intends to meet the ugly agitation .".gainst an allowance to his son by supporting him in his own house until he gets married. Prof. Blackio, an eccentric but highly gifted Scotch professor, produced a great commotion in Glasgow by giving a lecture on a Sunday, and selecting a.subject so mundane as "Scotch Love Son^s." The lecture was a eulogy of beautiful women and of the historic characters that had proved amenable to their influence from David downward, and wound up by the spirited singing of an old Scotch song by the Professor, who is nearly 80. The Prefecture of Police in Paris has insisted on the models of all Christmas toys boingsubmitted for censorship. All models recalling the war in China wore prohibited. Mandarins and Black Flags were not al lowed to be caricatured, nor tho storming of Sontay to be celebrated ; but a figure of theJlahdi was passed, according to which he is a portly Turk, and he spins around on being touched by a spring. A lady who wanted her infant vaccinated was offered fomo virus from tho arm of a grandchild of the Premier, but refused, on the ground that, being a Conservative, she did not want her child to have a Gladstone taint.

An admirer of Mr Spurgeon has given him a carriage which has shelves for books, an array of cigar trays, and a handsome looking glass. Mr Spurgeon writes more vigorously than ever against the heresy of considering the use of tobacco einful.
