MAHOMET IN NEW ZEALAND.

The Prophet on Immigration

[BY OUR OWN OKIENTAT/IST.]

In compliance with your instructions I called on the Prophet at his temporary resi dence, and found him at home. He had just finished breakfast, and wa. occupied with the morning sheet of our dailyxontem porary. Rising, he received me graciously motioLd me to a chair, and silently re sumed*his paper. He is -^»°* of» horribly aggravating countenance. On one side of his face the place of an eye gapesin crimson repulsiveness, and lends to the re maining features an expression of desolate poverty. Cross the high watershed of the nose, however, and you reach a land of liaht and shadow lit by the beams of tin eye bfazine with tho calm brilliancy of mtelli £renco.° As ho speaks English, and indeed any language vory badly, though he per fectly understands even Gaelic, his gestures ' form a large part of his conversation. These gestures are, however, principally confined to a movement of tho head by which the dead or tho living part of his faco is brought to boar on the spectator. It would tax tho powors of an Irishman, ' who can see twice as well round a corner as straight ahead, to bo able to grasp the living thought carried by words which depend on tho expression accompanying them for thoir power of conveyance. Whilo making thoso observations the writer had seated himself at a convenient distanco from the Prophet,who, while occu pied with hifi paper, turned his "dead eye" side towards your representative. He appeared to bo reading an article on the subject of immigration, and I can but give the sotlo voce remarks which fell from him regarding it: _,/__._. "Humph! new name proposed-Great Loan Land discovered by Stanley, I sup- Soso I (Exceeding deep and bitter cry.) iumph ! somebody's woke the baby ! (Groans in bitterness of spirit.) Adulterated whiskey again I Experience like tho stern lights of a ship! Quite co-it's a ( bad skipper that couldn't uso oven a bull's eye to get a compass reading ! This paper," ho romarked, without turning hi* head, j "advertises a now import - prosumo _it lias secured agency of 'the gains that would bo the gains of our follow citizens.' Had better bustle up and have article shipped at once—or stay—cablo home to the Agont-Goneral: ' Please send to our ordor 200 men with £5,000 oach. Banker's certificate necessary to bring tho bees round thohoney.' Could any borrowed million produce such results ? No, but a stolen ono might do bettor." Then throwing the paper on one sido, accompanied by a low chuckle, he said, •' Our Mutual Friend has an idea of the prophet, but it's a crooked ono-sho's got the wrong end of the stick. For what havo you to oiler to a farmer with £5,000?" ~ "My dear sir," I exclaimed, "you really must bo very unacquainted with Now Zea land matters to doubt for a moment that her various resources and equtiblo climata do not presont great attractioos to a small capitalist who is willing to exchange tbe ruder climato and the rocking crowds of tho older countries for tho Arcadian simplicity and life of oaeo only to bo found in the Britain of tho South. Her natural resources aro so groat, her intrinsic valuo so high, that she rosts on tho bounding bosom of tho Pacific liko a glittering jowel on tho breath moved breast of a ball bolle." " Young man," said Mocca, with a horriblo contortion and a wicked wink of tho whole faco, " her resources— will they/ri/ ? " Woll," I said, " thoy only want develop-

" You aro very aovoro on tho members of the press, sir, and 1 must tako excoption to tho manner in which you spank of tho oldest and best paper in the colony, for instance, Our Mutual Friend.

" No. Colonial peers for export to tho Houso of Lords at Home." " Wouldthatoxportnot realisa the wisdom of the Ruler of the Faithful—the greatest valuo in tho smallest bulk?" " What, an oxport of windbags ? Woll, woll!" he added, "after all Mrs Peach blossom might bo right, for it might bo of the greatest value to the colony to got lid of them, and thoy wouldn't cost much to raft.

NEWMARKET RATEPAYERS.

Tbe Loan Question Again.

A meeting of tho burgesses of tho borough of Nowmarkot was hold last night, for tho purpose of reconsidering the whole question of tho proposed £4,000 loan. Thoro was a largo attendance. A few minutes after 8 o'clock,

Mr Suiter (tho Mayor) stepped forward nnd road tho advertisement convening tho meeting. Ho oxplained that the reason this meeting hud been called was because it had beon found that tho provious action had boen rendered void owing to certain irregularities in taking the poll. He stated that ho had beon informed that a largo amount of money had been expended for legal opinions, that he had spent monoy rockloseiy, and was not lit for his position. Thoy appeared to have forgotten, that there woro expenses consequent upon forming a borough. All woro liablo to mako mistakos. Even bills passed in rarliament continually required amending. The Council had tried to carry through the businoss without logal advice, and tho result had been that this slight mistake had occurred. In fact the first legal opinion had been taken on tho motion of Cr, Clayton, With regard to the ex penses, tho whole mistake had only cost £10 10s. It would, now rost with them to reconsider tho wliolo question. He con cluded by moving that a poll of the rate payors of the Borough of Newmarket be taken on the sth of December, for the pur poso of raising a loan of £4,000 for a water supply scheme.

Cr. Clayton seconded the proposition, and stated that this would perhaps remove tho impression that had got abroad that he was against tho wator supply. He had never opposed anything that was calculated to improvo tho district of Nowmarket. Water was badly needed in the district, and ho hoped to boo it laid in ovory street in tho borough, so that all might equally enjoy tho blessing of a plentiful wator supply.

Cr. Clayton asked how long it would take to got the wator supply laid on. The Mayor replied that he anticipated that it could bo done in about nine months, so that thoy would have the water laid on by noxt summer. He then gave notice that_ the poll would be taken without putting tho motion. He then reverted tc the coming Mayoral election, and stated that he considered he had performed his duties faithfully. Only two candidates had been nominated, Mr Clayton and himself, but tho former gentleman had made a mistake which dis qualified him for tho forthcoming election ; but rather than put the borough to any ox ponse, he would not take any advantage of _r, Clayton's ignorance of thelaw, butwould allow them to judge between them and return the man they wished to represent them. He then read tbe legal opinion showing that the nomination was invalid, and that any election of Mr Clayton would be illegal. Mr Ball questioned whether the opinion had been written by a solicitor, and Mr Suiter replied by reading out the name of Mr Thomas Cotter. He concluded by re minding the audience that Cr. Clayton in tended to address the electors next Monday evening, and asked all present to roll up and hear his opinion on things in general, Cr, Clayton thanked the, Mayor for hie consideration, and tlie meeting separated.

HOSPITAL AND CHARITABLE AID.

A meeting of the united boards was held last evening in the City Council Chambers, Thoro wore present:—Messrs VV. R. Wad del and A. Kidd (Auckland), F. J. Moss (Parnoll), W. J. Suitor [Newmarket), Yates | (Onehunga), W. A. Graham (Hamilton), E. I A. Mackechnie( Hobson), Hudson (Rodney), A. E. Isaacs (Edon), Wilkinson and Luke ! (Manakau), Pegler (Raglan), Barugh (Wai kato), Lake (Waipa), Lane (Mongonui), i Salmon (Bay of Islands), Cochrane (Hoki anga), O. Mays (Waitemata). It was agreed, on the motion of Mr Gra ham, that His Worship the Mayor of Auckland should be Chairman of the Board, His Worship accepted the position, and said that although the duties would pro he onerous, he hoped with their assistance to perform thorn satisfactorily. The following estimate of amounts to be contributed by local bodies for the four months ending 31st March, ISBG, was laid on the table : - jß^lonePen'y ),i,,." 1 2011."- a ~ in the,_ 1 , nr1 „,.

Mr Moss, M.H.R., said he saw this meeting was called as an Hospital and Charitable Aid Board. Ho would like to know whothor as a united meoting they wore not only empowered to deal with the mattor of charitable aid. Tlio Chairman said he would like to havo the opinion of the solicitor before saying anything on the subject. A messengor was son. for Mr Samuel Hosketli, solicitor, who was spoedily in attendance. His written opinion was sub mitted, and was to the effect that a united board could only act with regard to charit able aid. In reply to Mr Moes, the Chairman said that when they woro all mot they would numbor 20 representatives. Mr Moss said it appoared to him that tho whole matter was a huge piece of bungling. They had all mot on tho question of charit able aid, and it appeared to him they would have to dissolve into district boards before they could do any actual work, He could not see his way through the matter. Mr J. H. Solmon, Bay of Islands, said that at a meeting of the Board for Mon gonui, Bay of Islands, and Hokianga, it was decided to recommend the County Councils to pay a fair share of the expense of any patients they sent up hero, They were not preparod to pay towards en Hospital here, and considered thomselves oxempt, except in regard to contributions towards the ex penses of any patients they might send up, or tho building of an hospital of their own, About £10 per annum would cover their proportion of tho cost of patients. A representative desired the Chair man to give a decision respecting tho powers of the Board, but His Worship _ai_ ho could not attempt to do so. Tho whole matter was an unpleasant busi ness, and thoy would have to do the best they could with tho difficulty. If he under stood Messrs Hesketh and 'Richmond's opinion aright.thoy had not thepowor to levy for hospitals, but only for charitable aid. If thoy only had to levy for their requirements, these requirements would be very slight, but the difficulty was a greater one. Mr W. J. Suiter moved; " That Mr He-keth'a opinion re tho powers of the United Hospital and Charitable Aid Board bo printed in circular form, and a ccpy forwarded to each member of the Board." Agreed to. Mr E. A. Mackechnio moved:—"That a copy of Messrs Heskoth and Rich mond's opinion be forwarded to the Hon. the Colonial Secrotary with an intima tion that the united Board cannot, with that opinion before it, pass any roso lution for the purpose of charitable aid, and with a request that tho united Board bo advisod more fully as to the powers under sections 33 and 34 of the Act." If Mr Stout, Attorney-General, did not agree with Messrs Hesketh and Richmond's opinion, no doubt tho Board would be in formed of it.

Mr Graham said that if he read that resolution aright, they had come all the way from Manchester, and had no work to do. Tho gentleman from the Bay of Islands had given expression to his views on the question. South of Mercer, his district had nine cases costing £54, whilo under tho now arrangement they would have to pay about £1,100, The matter reminded him of the Siamose t«__s, a big follow and a littlo fellow. The town was the big follow, aud tho country the little fellow, and tho big follow got good things, and tho other puid the piper, under the- now arrangement. Waikato would have to pay £1,000 moro, aud Auck land district £1,100 less. His district would always be ready to contribute its fair and equitablo share, but ho saw with regret that they would have to take charge of this poor law. His experience was that the deserving poor were too proud to ask for aid, while it was the loafing part of the community who vrould benefit by a poor law. The public were always ready to respond to calls for aid, and he wished that the people of Auck land could devise somo system to take the place of this objectionable poor law. Mr John A, Pegler sympathised with the gentlemen from the Northern districts, and said that, expensive though the journey had b.en to some, it was nevertheless the duty of representatives to be present at this meeting, oven though no business might be done. On behalf of the people of Raglan, he objected to that district being heavily taxed. In only one instance had that district receivod assistance irom public charitable aid, while thay had always paid their proportion to tho maintenance of the Hospital, and the dispensation of hospital aid. He recommended tho system of plaoing boxes for the roception of subscriptions in the local hotels.

Mr Moss said he would like to explain how tho difference arose. Hospitals were purely local institutions, but there was a strong feeling in the Legislature that it was not desirable to make charitable aid a local or parochial matter. Tho desire was not to revert to tho Btate of things that obtained in some parts of the old country until he gave a guarantee that he would not become a charge on the local funds within a year. Those representatives who objected sostrongly to thecontributions for which thoir districts were liable should remember that they paid their proportion under the old system, as the expenditure for charitablo aid then came from £he consolidated revenue. The only difference was that it was now taken from proporty instead of from the Customs. He person ally disliked tho whole bill and proceeding. For the present, he thought the wisest thing they could do was to appoint two or three committees to administer the affairs of the Board, tho united representatives meeting occasionally to receive reports. Mr 0. Maya thought thoy could mako the machine work until next session, when they would probably getsome improvements in the measure. His opinion was that the poor of the country belonged to the coun try.

The Chairman objected to the tone adopted by some of the county representa tives in apparently casting the blame for the bill on the city. He doubted the effec tiveness of the voluntary system which was belauded by some of the speakers. He ridiculodthe idea that the city should keep an Hospital open and pay contingent ex penditure, while tlie county sent its patients when thoy were ready, and paid the actual oxpenses of each. The city, he said, could hardly keep an Hospital open on this sys tem.

Mr Lake, M.H.R., considered that they were acting hastily on what he considered to be a hurriedly drawn up report by Messrs Hesketh and Rich mond. Ho did not Bee anything in the report or Act to prevent tho Board doing what it was intended for. The Act clearly said that the districts in Wai kato and the North would have to pay their proportion towards tho cost of the support of the poor of the coun try. Districts would have to be subdivided before anything like a reasonable control could be exorcised over charitable aid. He thought they should sink the town v. coun try question, and try and get matters into shape. We had here the curse of the poor law without the check, upon it.
