AUCKLAND AND THE DIRECT STEAMERS.

At the last quarterly mooting of tho Chambor of Commerce a resolution wan adopted to the effect, that the increasing trade of Auckland required more regular communication with London by direct steamers, and a copy of the resolution was sent to the steamship companies at present Aoine business with J*ew Zealand. The £lWinG reply has been received from the Wary of the New Zealand Shipping Company at Christchurch, from winch it woulaiappear that the claims of Auckland nro admitted: - " Clirlatchureh, January 28, ISBS.

LARGE CUTTER RACE.

Tub sailing raco bctiveon tho largo cuttora Deveron and Sovereign of tho Soas took place toddy under the moat favourable cir cumatancea. The master of tho Mahurangi iavlog failed to arrange a match with the lily asked peruiiaßion to take part on ovon terms with the large cutters, but ho was denied this privilige Ho therefore ro solvod to g° r<>u"d tne cou^e and try the speed of his vcaael against the others for hia own satisfaction. The wind was light, and from the north *ud, when the three vessels got in .line oil' the end of Queen-streot Wharf, the course being from there around Tiritiri and baeji. At B O.ID. Captain Jno, McKonzio sent thetn "otf." The Sovereign made a very bad start, and permitted tho Povoron to assume leading position, while too Jf.ahurangi al most succeeded In taking second placo. In this order they all lay up for tho N«rtJi Head, and thenco on to ■ Itangitoto. Each cutter carried Jier ordinary canvas, and in addition jib and set tops&iL Thus far tho Doveron had all the best ef It, and when thoy came round ander tho lee of Eongitoto, sho was about half a milo ahead, Sovereign second, Mahu langi very far astern. Tho Poveron and Sovereign then stood over towards Lako Takftpuua, while the Mahurangi, having made a short board again, got close to BaDgitoto, and ,crept along shoro. Tho adraotago«he thus gained was evidont by tbe manner in which she .lay up by getting easterly puife from iho shore, so that when the three vessels next crossed each other's waffles In mid-cbannol at 10JM) a.m., tho Miunrangl wtmt ahoad of ftll, and tho posi tioug were— Mahurangi, 1 ; Sovereign of ti»Beag,2i Devoron, 3. The Sovereign waithen shawing hotter form, and having easily weathered the Doveron and got aboat a quarter of a mile to windward. All throe a>me round again soon after, the Sovereign and Deveron on tho starboard taok, and tha Mahurangi on the port tack. About this tiaia the Revenue schooner Htirk appeared on jtfe scene, boating out of tabewr at her best. Once she was fully 4 mile ahead of all the cutjtctg, but within three quarters of an hour blio was i«ft hopo hmlj w the rear- This says vory little for a craft which should be nble to beat every thing about the coast. The Sovereign and Bereron came round again on the other tidaof Rangitoto, and lay up tho Wade, tho Sworo/gn about half a milo to windward, and when iho next met the Mahurangi tho Mttle-cwtterpassed ahead of the Doveron by ten or twelve laogths, but did not succeed in weathering ffcho Sovereign, so that the positions c* H a.m. were: Bororeign, I.; ilahurangl, 2j Devoron, 3. The taoks were wow longer, and wlulo the SoTwolgn and Deveron stood on towards Whongaparoa, the Mahurangi disappeared lokbd-Rangitoto. When tho latter again came in-eight, at noon, she evidently occu ipied an excellent .position, but as she was so laraway from the others it was impossible: to Judge of their relative positions. The : •Bovsrelgn, however, had then increased hor lead koßi tho Deveron to folly a mile to windward,wdgave.overyindication of sus Sainhg the premier position. * At 2.20 p.m. thfi cutters were not round: Tlri. The Sovereign $/aa then leading by; About a mile.

tp,m.~ The Sovereign iis now Reading by wwrljr three miles from the Deveron, the Maburaqgi c good rthird. The former is «mder the ligfethouso. 8.30 p.m. -Tiio So.vorelgn still maintains twJeafl; and should prdre tho winner.

THE NATIVE MINISTER IN THE WAIKATO.

He Declines Tawhlao's Invitation,

(P.V TEMifiTiAPU— OWH COKRKSI'OXUKNT.)

Ar,KXANF)HA, this day,

Hon. Mh Baiaance, accompanied by Messrs Lewis and Butler, arrived here last nigiit. Major To Whcoro was also of the party. After their arrival the Nativo Minister was mot by Wahanui and a number of other leading natives. When the usual greotinjfd were exchanged Mr Ballanco told Wahanui ho was happy to meot him among his own people. He (Mr B.illnnce) intended proceeding to Kihikilii on tlio following mornii.g, where ho hoped to meet tho natives and talk over tho business of the mission. Wahanui looked the very easenco of respectability, nnd his appearance allords undeniable ovidunuo of a fat Qovernmont Btibsiily. Thoro is supposed to bo a split between Wahanui and Tawhino, tho latter having boon for some time jealous of tho growing significance of tho former. Rowi |is also running a canoo of his own. Taivhiao sont in an invitation to Mr Uallanoo last night asking him to come and soo him at \Vhatiwhatihoo. Mr Bal lunce replied t)iot ho would be very happy to meet him, but ho must como to Alexandra, and, in order to moot him, would remain hero till twelve .o'clock, whon ho should Icavo for Kihikihi. Shoujd Xawhiao come to Alexandria and pay Ins compliments to Mr Ballanco when th,o Kihikihi mooting id ovor, Mr Ballanoo will como back hero and discuss the situation with his Majesty. Ido not think it likely that Tawhiao will como in, as, from all ap peftruncos, iio has forbidden even his pcoplo te ooino to Alexandra during tho Minister's stay. 'I'ho Qfcorolninga meeting has beon knocked on th« (wad. This morning Mr Bullance will be tho tju&gt of Wahanui at his now house.

Proceedings To-iiay,

Mr Ballanco paid a visit to Wahanui at his now houso this morning, but nothing of public interest was touched upon. Mr BullaiiuC, accompanied by Colonnl Lyon, also paid a visit to tho Redoubt and Con stabulary quarters. Hp was waited upon by a deputation of town commissioners re municipal resorves and bridues oyer the Waipa and I'unui Rivers, lie p>o mised that Government would contributo half of tlio cost of tho ropair of Waipa. J3ridgo, tho local body to contributo the other half. Government, ho eaid, would also consider the proposal to bridge the Funui hero, as he tiGKsidored it a very im portant matter. Ho wo«i!d also have tlio local Municipal rcsorves vested in tlio Town Board, oxcepting tho reserve at Kihikihi. which, ho thought, should go to Kihikilu. Tho deputation also pointed out that thoro were no residont Justices of tho f?eaoo. Tlio Minister made a noto of tlio doli cioncy Meeting with Tawhiao Arrangod. Mr Butler went ovor to boo Tawhiao at his settlement this morning, and arranged that Mr Ballanco should meot him thoro to tal)i over public affairs. Mr Ballanco hm now loft for Kihikihi, whero thoto will bo a large meeting this afternoon.

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES

[PKB H.*.

Tho Diroct Sorvles.

Loxdok, December 19. Tmi departure of tho first direct mail steamer for New Zealand this afternoon inaugurates a service which will, we Anglo co.lonjsta earnestly hopo, prove tho death blow of the old and complicated route via Brindisi. Oi counso, nothing can ba abso lutely certain till the regularity of the N.Z.S. Co.'s boats ho 3 bgon f.h,oroughly tested ond proved. Sundry p.eeshnis* " know-alls" declare that tho phenomenal, passages of tho Tongariro, the Aorangi, and tho Ruapohu woro mado solely with a view to securing tho mail contract, and that now tho noces-" eary end has boen obtained the company will not try over hnrd to improvo upon them. No doubt there is juat a grain of truth in this statement; J imagine that so long aa thoir boats keep well within the contract dates, tho directors will not countenance any extravagant expenditure of coal. To suppose tho N.Z.S. pooplo either can or will " rest on their oars " is, boworer, absurd. Tho competition betwiit thoißselyes and Shaw - Savillo must necessarily fceop things pretty lively. The latter tijlk big of knocking the rival company's rewords Into "tits" when they havo the Tainui and the Arawa running regularly. I doubt it myself, for though their boata aro unquos tionably spoedy and superbly fitted, their method of working won't compare with that of the older line.

The ghastly history of crimo and suffer ing initiated by the foundoring of the Sydney • bound yacht Mignonotte, has closed with tho committal of Du«ley and Stevens to prison for six months without hard labcur. An account of the men's appearance at the new Law Courts before tho Lord Chief Justice of England and four other Judges, and ot tho legal farce enacted there, will be found under a special heading. I need only add that both prisoners fully expected a freo parden, and that tho announcement of their imprison ment causod themselves and their frionds intonso surprise. Public opinion, however, on tha »i)ole, approves the sentence. Brook's, iiho B((ilor, who was pardonod, has boon taking advantage pf hja notoriety to make money, and appears nightly Jna sceno descriptive of the sufferings of tho servivors of tho Mignonotto at a : tranßpontine music hall. VVhlld't out on bail Dudley arid Stevens* received numerous tempting" offers to make exhibitions of themselves, but very properly rofused. The friends of the unfortunate boy Parker talk about him as a martyr, and havo already raised a considerable sum towards the erection of a monument in the church yard of his native village. As an instance of inconceivably bad taste I don't think it could, can, or ever will be equalled. The revival of the Tichbourno crazo on the releaso of tho Claimant was tho last dying splutter prior to oxtinctjsfi, Tho newspapors some six weeks ago uuai)f. mously resolved to ignore him, and since then Sir Koger has, jn so far as notoriety is concorned, been as deyd #s Queori Anno, His solo chance now lies in gofng upon tjjfl stago and appearing in a romantic drama founded on iifß own adventures. Even this will only keep tho pot boiling 'for a-limited time.

Departure of tUo Northuni'Uoriajßci. ' Thec.lippe.r ship Northumberland, having on boarclf Mr Vrisey Stewart's No 0 special settlement party, sailed for Auckland direct on the 10th; December. She takes out J5 saloon, !iO second cabin, 'and CO steorago passengers. Mr Stewart's lot were for sometime doeignatod as." our party," but at tho last moment Shaw, Savill' informed me it consisted of six steerage passengers. This, I think, shows protty conclusively that poor1 Mr Stewart's: day ie past and the special gcitlomont bubblo bur3t.
