Tub Roumolian movement seems likely to have very serious consequences. A cable gram recoived this afternoon states that further fighting has taken place betwedn the Turks and Albanians, in which the former wore signally defeated, and are now surrounded by the rebel forcef. This rising among tho Albanians, taken in conjunction with the violent symptoms of unrest manifested by Greece and Servia, shows that the- slumbering volcano of discontent is now ready to burst forth and lead to the total destruc tion of the Turkish power in Europe. There is a great deal of force in tho opinion fre quently expressed that Turkey is out of place among civilised Powers, but over and over again, when its dismemberment has been imminent, the interests and jealousies of other nations have led toitspreservationfl Tiio present general rising against Turkey, occasioned by so slight an event as Ihs amalgamation of Roumelia end Bulgaria, is an acuto symptom, which probably not even the united advice of the great Powers will be able to treat eucceesf uiijr.

It is a feather in the cap of Auckland that, notwithstanding tho vaunted magni tude of the Southern browing industry, tho first prizo from the Colonial Exhibition for stout and botblod ales has boon won by nn Auckland firm. Mr Ehronfried, formerly of tho Thames, but who has rocontly acquired Messrs Whitson and Sons ox tensive businoss in Auckland, has boon awardod tho champion prizes of Now Zea land in both thosa classes. The crodit of this success is also enhancod by tho fact that tho samples exhibited by Mr Jihron friod -were takon out of his ordinary stock, and in no way specially pre pared for exhibition. From this timo forth, Duuodin brewers cannot lord it ovor tho North. They must sond along in thi3 direction whon thoy want an Al liquor.

To-morrow (Thursday) is tho last day for receiving from Auckland manufacturers applications for spuco at tho Indian and Colonial Exhibition, to bo opened at London in May next.

Up to tho proacnt timo, tho rosponso, though gratifying, has not beon adequate to tho importanco of Auckland and tho number of her industries, Thoro is no oxponse whatever involved in showing at the Exhibition, and we should think that all producors, manufacturers, and oxportors would find it to their advan tago to send exhibits.

HOMELY TALK.

Kov. J. S. Hill on "ThrUt.

Notwithstanding tlio very unfavourable weather last ovoning, thoro was a very fair attendance- at Ecv. J. S. HiU'd "Homely Talk' oa " Thrift," at tho Younc Moo'b Christian As sociation Kooms. Tho rev. gentleman impi-ossed upon hia audlonco tho fact that BfiH-holp, and not Stato aid, was tho liopo ot tho poor, who had inoro to fear from wasto tlmn want. The incomo of the working classes in Kogl&nd, ho said, was estimated ut Ji100.000.000, while the drink bill of theso wimo people amounted directly and indirectly to sixty millions. He pointed out that it this amount were saved, tho working clafsos might bo landowners to tho oxtont of a million acres ovory your. Ono of tho lirat principles of thrift taught to man was to epond lesa than they earn. No working mon could, in jiidtico tj himself, Bpend more than one eighth of his wages in rent, or one-half in food. In the matter of food, tho Maoris appeared to bo very liko tho Ka&t Knd Londoner—moot iraprovidont. Anotbor good principle which rev. tho lecturer rocommondod was to pay ready ruouoy, and in auuport of hia argument ho quotod Professor Fawcctt, who said tho crodU system cost tho Bottlers at least 15 per cent. Mr Hill tlion wont on to deal successively with tho principles of co-oporation in consumption, coopera tion in production, and eo-pperatton in crodit, and pointed out that while co-operation in consumption had lieen fairly successful, the experience of all existing Booiolies for co opera tion in production, save ono, showed that it, had been proved to bo a failure, the net profit boing only one por oent. The lecturer then dwelt with friendly societies, building societies, and tradtß unions, and Illustrated their iibcb and abuses. Ho recommended savings banks for saving smnll sums of money, and io vestment in building socie ties of largo Bums of money. Kxampleß of thrift were Instanced, and Mr Hill referred en passant to the thrift of clergymen and tho poverty of pacts. Ono clergyman, for instance, was mentioned Who had managed to rear a family of }2 children on £100 a year. Wealth, ho said, was no goar antou of happiness. Civilisation had inoroaacd our wants, and lUvJtt waa necessary to meet those. Out of ill millionaires in Kngland, tho majority had earned the naino of being sorows. Tho rev. leoturer rohaiaded his hearers, in con olusion. that thrif tiness Bhould not deoreaso , bonerolenoej

(To tho Editor.)

Silt,—lt is no matter for wirpriso that tlio disposal of tho prisoner Knox puzzled the Bench. Thirteen times convicted (in little ovor four years), prison, Hoggings and whip pings, all to no purpose, with sundry deser tions and idleness thrown in, certainly pre sent a problem sufficient to tax tho genius of tho philanthropist or legal mind. From my own knowlougo of the managomont of this school, I should havo no hesitation in allirmiug that everything has beon tried that a kind hoart can suggest. In the manager of this usoful institution tho public have a valuable servant, and tho children a kind and (what this class urgently need) a linn guardian. Anyono who has visited tho llomo and stayed long enough to mako observations could not fail in teeing abundant ovidonco of tho absence of anything liko cruelty nor needless chastisement. Tho faces and bo- CJining unreserve of tho boyu tell of a government which is noithor distasteful or oppro«eivo to any but tho out-and-out rebellious. Tho meanness of tho ox chequor, tho unwioldly and in

ovary way unsuitablo character of tho buildings with n limited stall", tnako tho position anything but a tjincciiro, but with tho moans at hU disposal, tho mastor accomplishes n work which tinds a grateful memory in many a boy now bidding fair to compensate a charitable public hy rei>p"r>tl>l>'° ""ll «oof«l lives. Many parents of good standing in socioty lind it a grey-hair business, tho control of onoorfcwodarlinglids, llowaboutthofolici tics of a hundred, whose hereditary and homo lifo his in too many cases boon of the vory worst typo? Ho U a poor physician who, while treating v dynpotic, could not if a^ked suggest a dietary likely to provont a recurrence of tho malady. Perhaps Mr Whitcombo will provo himself oqual to the "puzzle" by propounding a eclionio euit ablo for tho gonus Knox. — Sincoroly, Anthuoi'OS.

TilK hoAX Qukstion.—A letter was rend from C. U. Tin nliull. returning result of poll ro waterworks loan, which was an follown: • Number ot voters on roll, 237; votes recorded in favour o.' raising loan, III; uirainst, 28. The Mayor thcroforo declurod luo poll to bo in favour of raising the loan ot £I,ooo.—Cr. Jenkins nskod why it was that tho notico in tho news papor only mentioned water, whereas the ballot papera mentioned both the waterworks and druinago echomos. Ho considered that this was irregular conduct, tending to mislead the bur gcssoß in their votes.—l ho Mayor in reply said that Cr. Jenkins would uudorstand tho bust nous hotter if ho was aicro often present at tho Council mootlngs. Acting upon a suggestion ot Cr. Clayton, ho had inter viewed un cnilnont lawyor, and foucd that it would be necessary to combine both loans. »nd tills was the cause of their action. It was not the intention of the Council to raise a larger loan than filUJO.—Cr. Jenkins contended that the notion was irregular, and suggest' d thai a lonal opinion should bo takon upon the matter, lie then movod, " That It bo an ir.Btruotton to tho Legal and Finance Committoo to tako tho opin ion ot tlio Borough Solicitor in writing as to tho locality or othorwlßC of tho aotlonof thn Return ing Ulllcar in taking tho roll of £7,000 for water and drainage, contraiy to tho instructions of tho Council, in advertised by Ills Worship tho Mayor in tho £tab of Soptombor 21 and by circular to tako ttiovote for £1,000 for watar only, and if tho Council oould recover by legal process tho payment of any rates mndo under buoli voto."—This was seconded by Cr.

Ho would like to bo euro in tho matter. —Ilia Worship moved, " That this Council pro cued to raiso a loan of £1,000 for water supply nt no early a dato us possible." Ho slated that as Moßßislluakoth and Hiohmoudwero the solicitors for the Government, thoy would take good caro that everything was right. Ho did notbellevo in tho continuod delays. A poll had been taken, and whs almost unanimous in favour ot raining tho loan for wator, and ho did not think it wiso to delay any longer in tho mattor.-Cr. Bishop socoudca tho motion. He considered that tho quustion had boon fairly placed beforo the rato payors. Ho thought that it was inorely wasting tho litno ot tho ratepayers and Councillors by raining thORo petty contcuttons. Such actions brought the Cuuncil into dißreputo.—Upon tho question being put to tho Council, tho aniend mont wus oarriod.—Tho Mayor further movod, and Cr.

THE HUTT TARRING SCANDAL.

Frocoodinga in Court To-day.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, this day. At tho Magistrate's Court to-day, Wnldon was again placod in tho dock charged with boing concerned in tho Hutt tarring case. Hon. P. Buckloy apologised to tho Court for tho part ho took in tho unsoomly con duct which took placo atlast hearing. Mr Stafford also apologisod. Mr Buckloy obtained permission) to amend certain ovidenco givon by him at last hear ing rolativo to tho date when Mr Contor callod at his ollice. Alico Williams Gullaurno, barmaid at tho Koyal Hotel, who hud bcoh Bubpdmcd, was not proßont, and a warrant was issued for her arrest. Mr N. K. Waters, merchant, doposed that ho know a man named W, H. McLeiland. Tho lirst ho learnt of tho assault on Muir was by seeing it in tho papers. Before tho assault on Muir, witness had not had any conversation with accused about it, but had since it happened. Could not say whether or not ho had, on tho 20th Augußt, spoken to accused and McLeiland together, and also that ho had seen Mr Buckley. Wit ness took an intorost in tho trial because some of his friends had boon dragged into it. William Henry McLeiland doposed that he had known accused since he was a lad, but had not had any conversation with him on tho subjoct before tho Court until this morning. Witness was not at Hutfc On tho night of tho 19th August, and ho knew nothing of tho tarring case except what he had hoard at tbo street cornors, At 11.30 tho caso was adjourned until 2 p.m., for tho production of tho girl Gallaurno.

A HARD CASE.

Ot k attention has boon drawn to what appears to bo an exceptionally hard cas<o, About a fortnight ago, two lads named Toesdalo and Sowoll wero fined at tho I'olico Court for riotitous behariour at tho Salvation Army Barracks, and ordered to lind sureties to keep thopoaco. Tooedale'i friends camo forward and released him, but Mrs Sowell, who is a vory respectablo woman, was not in a position to do other wise Her son was therefore sont to gaol, whoro ho will bo compelled to re main, unless he finds sureties. Rev. J. S. Hill has very kindly interested himself in tho matter, and is endeavouring to havo tho boy roltasod. Ho odors him eolf as surety, and hojioa to havo tho lad at liborty to morrow. Thero ie no doubt that tho lad deservod punishmont for his offence, but a six months' eoutonco savours of undue severity, and tho reforma tion of a young boy iB scarcely likely to bo rocurud by a lengthy incarceration in gaol, liov. Mr 11 HI deserves groat credit for bis humane action in this matter.

In connection with tho Auckland Sunday. school Union a conforonco of tcachora waa hold last night in tho Wesloyan Church, Otahuhu, A dozen of the officora of tlio Union and others interested in tho work drove out from Auckland in order to tako part in tho meetin?, the attendance at which, owing to tho unfavourable weather, was not largo, Tho mooting was, nevertheless, of such a character as to be helpful both to tho country toachers and their visitors. After prayer by tho Roy. Mr Steel, Mr F, Battloy (Prosidont of the Sunday-school Union) briofly Bpoko of tho objocta which tl;o Union had in view in holding theso conforoncos in the suburban districts, He desired to remove tho impression that it was simply a trading institution for tho salo of books, otc. The principal reason for its oxistenco was the promotion of tho officieuoy of Sabbath-shoo! work, and one means by which this could best bo accomplished was tho bringing to gothor oi teachora from various schools for interchange of opinions and comparison of method*. Air Samuol Parker then epoke on " Deiinitoness of Aim ' in toaahing, urg ing that all tho teachers' efforts should be directed towards tho conversion of tho children. Mr Wood threw out some useful hints as to moans to bo adoptod for securing spiritual results, and a conversa tion followed on various subjects of interoat to teachers, in which tho Roy.

CAUTION TO IDLE BOYS.

Tho nuisance hai born steadily Increasing, and various remedial raea snreß rcßorted to havo proved ineffectual. A prosooution which occupied tho Rosidont Magla trato at tho Police Court to-day, however, shows that the polico possess strong repressive powers. Tho acousod was a lad of eighteen years, namrd Jeremiah Drlccoll, and he was ohargod with a breaoh of tho Police Oft'oneos Aot, 1884. by having no sufllciont moans of support-Mr Napier appeared for tho defendant, ana pleaded notguilty.-SrrßOnnt Pratt said that he undor- Blood tho defnnco would bo that tho lad was living with his parents. Ho thought, however. If he could provo tho defendant to be an idle and disorderly person, who wm In the habit of loaf ing about the street with other bad characters, that ho would be liable to tho Polico Offoncos Aot, undor which tho charge was laid.— l'lainclotbcs Constablo Herbert deposed to having known tho prisoner for tho past thrno months as a badly conducted character. Ho had frequently seen him in the company of thieves following drunken mon. A complaint was inado of a man hvvlng b.-cn robbed of bis watch whllo in tho company of the prisoner and other thiovOß, and this had lod to his arrest Tho priaonor had previously been convicted for similar oironoec In onsworto a quostienby Mr Napier, witness said ho did not know that defendant was omployod at the Fish Company. —Dctectlvo Hughes doposed ihat tho defendant was an idle and disorderly character. Hr[know that ho had boon employed forafow days by the Fish Company .but ho usl rally noneortod with bad characters in tho atroer.—De'ootlvfl JonoH gavo tho defendant a very bad character. 170 ho had seen him prowling about at night wlta larrikins and bad characters.—Constab'e Macky, ot tho Wator PoMce, had known prisoner for four months, frequently as tho companion of drunken men. lie never saw him doing any work.—Mr W. J. Napier contended that tho caso must fail. Ho hold that it was not an oft'ance for a boy to frequent stroot corners with other persons. It was an offenco to be in tho company of roguos and vagabonds, but he submitted that tho boy had not done so. It only canio out caßimlly that tho boy was arrested bo oauso ho was suspected of stealing a watch, and was obviously apprehended to secure his de tention. It would bo shown that the boy was very wild, and did not submit altogether to parental control. Ho would not go to sohool. A t tho samo time his parents had provided him with a honio of which hn could a»ail himself when ho choose, and of whioh he did avail him so'l as a rule. Ho had been in employ ment Tho father of the lad was called and deposed to those facts. His Worship said it appeared to him to bo too truo that the prisoner was getting into bad company. Ho was going to discharge him this time, but advised him to bo careful wlh whom he associated for the Cuturo. Tho caso was then dismissed.

WELLINGTON NOTES.

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDBNT,

Wellington, this day. Sir Julius Vogel informs me that he and Mr John Holmes, the mombers respec tively for Christchurch North and South, havo boon invitod to a banquet in their honour, at Christchurch, in about throe wocka. Sir Julius has accepted tho invita tion of his constituents, and whilst so far on the way, will probably extend his visit to Duncdin. Should the duties of his office permit, it is tho Treasurer's intention to visit Auckland during tho month of Decem ber.

Sir Julius Vogol on tbo Samonn Quostion. I hod a long conversation with Sir Juliua Vogol yesterday afternoon on the Samoan quostion. Divested of nil unnecessary verbi age, the Treasurer's opinion is that nothing can bo done for Samoa until Germany is bought off. There are certain German interests at Samoa, and whether King Malietoa likes it or not, these interests are perfectly legitimate, and cannot be disposed ofoxceptat the desire of thoGorman owners, and for a pecuniary quidproquo. Sir Julius is' of opinion that the whole difficulty could have been satisfactorily disposed of by his South Sea Islands Bill of last year had it become lavr, but that now there is nothing for it but tho formation of a joint stock company to buy out the German interests <at Samoa, and then, if this were done Samoa, and New Zealand could bo brought much closer togothor than at present. Tho San Franolsco Mail Service. Tho "Times" this morning has along " screed " generally condemnatory of the San Francisco mail service, but as I have ascertained officially that the article is a mass of misstatoments, and ap parently put together with tho ob ject of finding a reason for urging tho postponement of the service, I need not trouble you with any oxtracts. 1 merely rofer to tho articlo to affirm its inaccuracies, becaußO it is well known that thoopinions of the "Times" ofton find ex pression in tho columns of papers in other parts of tho colony in the shapo of Welling ton " own correspondent?," (?) telegrams. Tho Postmaster-General refusos to give any further information on the sub ject, but assures mo that there is every probability of a most satisfactory servico being arranged within a few days which will comply with all tho condition* approved of by tho House. I understand the Postmaster-General of Now South Wales is working in harmony with our Postmaetor-Gonoral, aud tho approval of tho Sydney Parliament is likely to be asked within a few days. So far aa I can gather, the New South Wales Govern ment seem willing to extend thoir offer of £7,000 subsidy to £10,000 provided they receive a share of the postages. It is, however, doubtful if this would be an advantageous arrangement for New Zealand, and until tho whole question is definitely determined, the Postmaster- General refuses to express any opinion.

He vmu not a Cockney in tho acoepted sense of (he term, as he was not born within the sound of Bow Bella; his birthplace was Ba terssa Fields, by the Bide of tho Thtmes, bat which is now transformed into one of London's beautiful parkp. Ue loved the old oliy, and. could heartily sar. in tho language of Cowpsr (slightly altered). " London, with all thy fauits, I love tbee still." Ihe lecturer then proceeded to give a rapid sketch of the mighty city which Iloaconsflold said governed India, He sketched its streets, buildings, mar kets, and almost every place of interest within its limits. A Yankee got up one morning at his London lodgings for the purpose of doing "London 'in a day, but ho found it im possible to accomplish the task, and so being weary, ho (sailed a cab, exclaiming: "Eh, Lunnun's a big place,." The first portion of tho lecture was devoted to what the lecturer con sidered tho "Lights of London," and showed that the bout view of tho big city was to bo ob tainod from Highgate Archway; but a bettor Bight would bo from the car of a balloon. Tne lecturer's "lißhts" were Paternoster Bow of literature, museums, picture galleries, Cran bourne Alley bonnets, tho Houses of Parliament, Mr Gladstonu, Revs. Dr. Allen. C. H. Hpurseon, Dr. Parkor. tho Earl of Shaftesbury, and Christian mon.and women. Touching the Bfeadoa, Mr Worboys included a London fog, and the eina and intonoe poverty and suffer ings of tho half-3tarvod pooplo of the Hast Kurt, a? delineated by Mr Mourns in his recent work, "Tho Bitter Cry," and noted in bin diary of a London missionary. Tho looturo was intersporscd with numerous anecdotes and illustrations. Tho causeso( much of tho miaoi iou of the London poor were brought about by intemperance, want of thrift, over crowding, and tho anomalies in the*land laws. We have only spaco for mcroly a shadow of the lecture, and mmt, theroforo, pass many of its lights. Iti descriptions wore accurate, and Us pictures of life sadly true. On lho motion ot Mr Froudo, seconded by Mr Grady, a vota of thanks waa unanimously given to the lecturer, and tho who'o closod with the Doxology.
