ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(Fbom Our London Correspondent.)

London, March 26, Cambridge Federation League.

Profhssor Seeley presided over a great meeting held at Cambridge last Saturday week to found a local branch of the Colo nial Federation League. The Australian undergraduates attached to Selwyn and othor colleges musterod to a man, and there was a largo attendance of University notables. The choice of Professor Seoley as Chairman was a peculiarly happy one, as his remarkable lectures on the " Expan sion of England " first gavo new life and meaning to the colonial question. Mr Forstor was tho principal speaker during the evening, but in opening the proceedings the Chairman niado some cogent remarks. Federation,ho explained, was not aggressive Tho aggression was in fact done by tho first colonists themselves, who unquestion ably committed many wrongs on the subject people,thoughontho whole there can be no doubt that oven tho domineering type of European civilization is an immense im provement on the best forms of Government practised by non-Europeans. The long and obstinate wars have assured us tho countries our colonists seized. Our fathers may or may not have beon right to wage them, but that is not the question. They did wago them, and wage them with conspicuous success. They havo saved their highly moral descendants from all need of straining their super-subtle con sciences by fresh aggressions. We have but to dofend the heritage that is ours, and we can best do so (in Professor Seelcy's judgment) by Imperial Federation. Mr Forster dealt in some detail with the arguments that have been advanced against the scheme. It has, for instance, been said that abandonment would bo tho cheapost policy, and should therefore be adopted, Let this noble argument, that England should abandon for money the children that have built up hor Empire, bo spread broad-cast, eaid Mr Forster, through the land, and it will do more to strengthen our position than any words could, But the reasoning is false as it is mean, Even if the lodgor is henceforth to settle our policy, tho ledger iteolf will point to tho same conclusions as love of country and kin, Forty-four per cent of the corn-lands of tho world, two-sevenths of the coastline of the temperate regions, aro under British rule, and will bo ono day ruled, if England docs her duty, by the young Prince of Wales (N.B. —Prince Albert Victor was amoDgst tho audience). From these countries wo draw much of our food to-day, and we must if wo continue to live and flourish draw more in tho future. They aro our largest and most profitable cus tomers. They give us broad and they give us the markots that onablo us to pay for broad. Wo cannot separate by mutual consent, and if we separate any othor way, the colonies would pass in ono form or anothor under hostile influences. They must bo for us or against us. They are models of loyalty and enthusiasm to many slothful Englishmen today. Wo havo but to doviso a system for permanently utilising tho exuberant youth of our young nations to form tho widost, the most potent, and tho mogt abiding league of poaco tho world has yet seen. Tho Roy. Frederick Langbridge dedicates his new book of poems, which is somewhat inappropriately entitled "Sent Back by tho Angola," to the memory of his late brother Mr W. Bartleot Langbridge, of the "Bureau," Auckland. The Princo of Walos and the Colonies. The Anglo-Colonial community in London mustored in great force at the meeting of tho Colonial Institute on the 16th inst., when H.R.H. the Prince of Walos took the chair. Tho Princes [Hall, Piccadilly, is one of tho largest lecture rooms in the West End, but its spacious auditorium was quite inadoquato to accomodato tho crowd of Fol lows and their ladies who desired to be present, and many had to bo turned away. Arriving rather lato, I seemed likely to share this fato, but tho Honorary Secretary opportunely turnod up, and with his holp I was presently ablo to secure a corner behind tho " big-wigs" on tho platform. Immediately in front of mo sat Prince Albert Victor, who had accompanied his father; and adjacent, in a somi-circle, wore ranged tho Marquis of Lorno, Lord Derby, Lord Kosobory, Mr W. E. Forstor, M.P., Sir F. Wold, Sir Honry Barkly, Sir Thos. Brassoy, and all tho Agents-General for tho Australasian colonies, >vith tho exception of Sir Francis Dillon 8011. Tho absence of tho latter was, no doubt, unavoidable, but many of tho Now Zoalandors present com plainod about it, as likely to givo colour to tho slandorous rumours which aver that your colony was unwilling ratlior than unable to join issue with tho Australias and otfor troops for eorvico in tho Soudan. Tho lecturer of this notablo occasion was Sir Napior Brooino, who gavo a fairly inter esting paper on "Western Australia," a colony of which ho predicts great things by-and-bye. Tho Prince of W rales listened with marked attention, as did Lord Roae bory, but Lord Lorno kept shuttling about uneasily, and tho Socretary of State for tho colonies (Lord Derby), clasping one hand over tho othor and closing his eyes, as if meditating, slumbered peacefully,

The lecture ovor, a brief discussion fol lowod, in which Sir P. Wold, Sir A. Blyth, and Captain Colomb took part. Then tho Princo of Wales on his legs, and, as ho usunlly .does, said the right thing nicoly. Aftor observing that ho wa6 suro the vote of thanks which he had to propose would bo rocoived with acclamation, ho said: "Everything connected with our great Colonieß,nnd more especially with our Aus tralian oiios, cannot fail to be of interest to tho English pooplo. (Cheers.) All we require is to havo the facts concerning those distant coloniesbroughtmoro prominently before us. Ladies and gentlemen—the colonies think of us sometimes—cheers—and it is only the other day tho gratifying intelligence reached us that our colonies, led by New South Wales, offered to Bond troops to assist ours in a far distant land. (Loud cheers.) This in itself shows that thoy cling to the mother country. Long may that feeling oxiat, and such spontaneous feeling on their part is, I am suro, most gratefully received through the length and breadth of our country. (Cheers.) I have myself not had the great advantages which- my son and Mb brother havo had in visiting these great Australian colonies—(cheers)—where they were so kindly received; but if it is not possible for me even to visit them, still they may be sure that I take a lively interest in their welfare in every sense of the word. I will now call upon you, ladies and gentle men, to givo a hearty vote of thanks to Sir F. Napier Broomofor his paper." (Cheers.) Sir F. Broome having acknowledged tho vote, Lord Rosebery proposed a vote of thanks to His Royal Hignnesa for presiding. He thought it remarkable, having regard to the fact that Western Australia was in point of population the smallest of our Australian coloniea, that such a gathering should have been collected. Ton years ago no such assembly would have met to con sider the subject of even the greatest of the Australian colonies. Ho believed that a new, a spontaneous interest had sprung up in these colonies quite irrespective of the sympathy, the admiration, and tho affection which might havo boon evokod by their offers of assistance to England in our hour of trial. (Cheers.) It was auspicious for Western Australia that at this oarly moment of its existence it should havo called His Koyal Highness to tho chair on this occasion, and that ho accompanied by his son, who had visited tho colony (cheers)—in whom, an in tho frince of 'Wales, they hopefully saw the continuance and future of tho empire (cheers).

The Prince of Wales, ki reply, said the Royal Colonial Institute ought to be grate ful that so large and distinguished an as sembly should have been present; and ho hoped that on f utu»e occasions other papers on matters connected with the colonies might be read. All those in these far distant lands might rest assured that he took a deep interest in everything that concerned them (cheers).

Amongst the Anglo-New Zoalanders pro- Benti I noticed Mr and Mrs Arthur Clay den, Mr and Mrs James Farmer, Mr and Mrs T. Purvis Russell, Mr Chas. Taylor, Mr Leonard Tripp, Mr W. J. Steele, Mr Geo. Yosey Stewart and hiß son. Mr H. R. Russell, Mr G. W. Rusden, Mr Louis Nathan, Mr Richard Laishloy, jun ,Mr Douglas McLean, Mr Labilliere, Capt. and Mrs Craigie-Halkett, Sir Chas, Clifford, Mr and Mrs T. E. Elder, Mr J. L. Uoster, Mr David Olarkson, Mr Geo. Cowie, Sir John Coode, Mr and Mrs Alex. Selandora and Miss S,, Mr Owen Jones, and Mr W Woods. Soono on a Troop-ship. A row, which approximately resembled n mutiny, occurred on board the Australiau troop-ship Tamar whilst calling at Malta on her homeward voyage. This vessel brings, as you are no doubt aware, a number of naval prisoners from the Australian squad ron, who have to undergo various terms of imprisonment on their arrival. These fel lows managed to obtain Home spirits which had been brought off from the shore, and j then made a desperate attempt to. escape by 'swimming for the land. The first man who jumped overboard was followed by a sailor, who tried to bring him back, but tho prisoner threatened, hjm with

a knifo if ho did nut keop off. Tho seaman^ however, stuck to him till they wore"1 both picked up by a boat. Two other prisoners,' perfectly naked, jumped through a port and made for the shore, but did not get far. The ringleaders were afterwards confined in cells, while the othor prisoners were re moved to another part of the ship. Here they behaved in a most scandalous way, singing and swearing and trying to breek through the coll doors. At length the cap tain, fearing violonce, signalled to H.M.B. Alexandra tor assistance, and several ship's corporals were sent on board, who clapped the noisiest men in irons and othor wise pnt things right. Emigration, Tho Ilev. A. Styleman Herring, Vicar of St. Paul's, Clerkonwoll, who is an enthusiast on tho subject of emigration, and who has assisted hundreds of poor folks to happier homos at tho antipodes, writes urging the revival of tho emigration department at the Colonial Otlice in consequouco of the now attitudo of the colonies. After careful inquiries lie finds that none of tho Aus tralian Colonies, save N.S.W,, aro now offering assisted passages, Practically the colonials aro excluding direct emi gration and substituting nomination by colonists of their friends in Great Britain. The romody he thinks is Imperial—"State aided and directed emigration." Tho new Archbishop of Canterbury has just issued a circular urging tho clergy to assist, with judicious counsel and holp, all intending emigrants. It is, he considers! no businoss of tho Church to actually pro mote emigration, but tho clergy are bound to adviso and help to the utmost of their ability all who resolve to seek a new life in a now land. Tawhiao's Bust. At the invitation of Mr Chesson, of the Colonial Institute, I yesterday p-id a visit to the studio of Mr Sheldon, to inspect tho bust of Tawhiao, which is to bo exhibited at tho forthcoming show of tho Koyal Academy. It has boen oxecuted in bronze, and is, without doubt, a great success, be ing a capital likonoss and a highly artistic work. Special interest attaches to tho bust from a sculptor's point of view, owing to its being one of tho first in which an attompt has been made to reproduce tho peculinr effects of tatooing. Tawhaio's face without tattoo marks would, it is needless to say, have been simply un recognisable, and yet Mr Sheldon found it extraordinarily difficult to transfer to bronze the precise effect on the skin of the elabo rate scorings. Mr Boehm, the famous sculptor, found himself faced with a similar obstacle once when making a bust of Gluek, tho composer, whose countenance was deeply pitted with small-pox marks. To havo left them out would have been to have spoiled tho portrait: to reproduce them was most difficult,

I hear that Mr Kerry Nicholls has in preparation a volume descriptive ot his travels in tho Southern Pacific, including the now much-talked-about Samoa. A fourth edition of the " King Country " is announced, with an additional chapter. Mr Nicholls has, one of his friends told me, made upwards of £1,000 out of his book. Tho Australian-owned horse Tonans, who won the Lincolnshire Handicap last spring, and was somewhat fancied for the same cvont this year, has been scratched. Tho two docisivo dofeats inflicted on Shaw's Eleven by the United Australian team have done much to revive the waning belief of English sportsmen in the super excellence of colonial cricketers. Some, however, declare success had made the Englishmen careless, and that the matches do not therefore go for much.

ANNUAL MEETING OF RATE PAYERS, NEWMARKET.

Tile annual meeting of ratepayers of the Newmarket Road District was held last evening in tho Newmarket Public Hall at 8 p.m., about 50 being present, Mr Suitor, Chairman of tho Road Board, presided and opened the meeting by reading the adver tisement convening it. Tho first business was the reading and confirming of tho minutes of last annual mooting and two special meetings on tho question of a water supply and drainage which wore read by Mr Dinnison, Clerk to tho Board. The annual balance-sheet was thon read, the following being an abstract: — Kkceii'ts.—Balance, £24 5s 3d; rates, £340 7s 3d ; licenses and transfers, £81 ; rout of hoarding, £2 ; dog registration, £20 2s 6d. Total, £467 15s.

Expenditure.—Labour and works on roads, £201 18s ; scoria pntl metal, £102 ; pipes, timber, and tools, £9 16s 9d ; gas, £14 18a 6d ; advertising and printing, £18 8s lOd ; commissions and Secretary's sal ary, £23 3s 3d ', ;firo - bell and stand, £38 10s ; dog collars, £3 12s ; sundries, £8 16s; Total, £435 3s 4d; Balance in band, £32 11s 8d; grand total, £407 15s.—The Chairman then asked if there were any questions to be asked in reference to the balance-sheet. Several questions wero put and answered satis factorily. The balance-sheet was then put to the meeting and adopted.—The Chair man gave a short review ot the pact year's proceedings. In the course of his remarks ho stated that the > ewmarket district was to havo been gazetted a Borough that day, and four weeks from date a mayor and nino councillors would havo .to be oloctod. They wero aware that he did his best to have the district joined to the City of Auckland, but tho majority were against him, and he always liked to go with the majority. They would remember that at last annual meoting there was some refor ence to the matter of the addition of a foot bridge to tho Newmarkot railway bridge. Ho petitioned Government, and now the bridge was almost finished. He also wrote anent a foot bridge to tho Kyber Pass Bridgo. (This work has also been done). Referring to the water supply and drainage question, he said that the Government were willing to give £100 for a water supply if tho work is carried out at once, and also pay for all water supplied by meter to the railway workshops. He nest made a few remarks on the election of tho Borough Council, and said that when it was formed about £6,000 would have to be borrowed for works contemplated. He suggested that the reserve should be let, and ho had no doubt that £300 could be gained from this source annually, which would almost pay the interest on the bor rowed money. The Government had to aid the setting through of a special bill free of charge, save advertising, on this subject. He also thought that the public market should be established here, as it would suit the interested parties better, being moro central than a town. He also referred to the widening of the main road by 15 feet, and tho building of a pickot wall, the contract for which had just been let. He alluded to the election of Mayor, and said he belieyed that that honour would be strongly contested. He announced that he intended to stand. In future, publicans' licenses for Newmarket will be £40 instead of £25. He thanked tho members of the Board for the cordial manner in which they had worked during tho year.—Sir Hogg asked if the Newmarket toll-bar would oe removed a mile from tho borough, as re quired by the Act.—Tho Chairman said he believed some special arrangements had been made in connection with it.—Mr Koetley proposed that the Secretary of the Road Board bo instructed to writo and ask the Tramway Co. to include Newmarket in the tramway system as soon as possible. This was Eeconded by Mr Bishop and carried.—A vote of thanks was passod to tho Road Board.—A special vote of thanks was ji'.eo' passed to tho Chairman for his untiring efforts to secure a water supply and drainage for the district.

Mr John Ure, ex-Lord Provost of Glas gow, who was on a visit to these colonies a year ago, has been delivering lectures on his tour since his return. In the couree of a lecture at Glasgow, Mr Uro said:—" As to the social habits of the colonists, tea had to a great extent taken the place of wine at tho dinner table (applauso), and the nature of tho climate did not cause the people to drink so much as in this country. Tho working classes, too, were much better housed than here, there being no such thing as a pingle-apartment dwelling in Melbourne. Their style of living was ako far above that of the working man in this country j and, after having been taken through what were said to be the ' slums' (which were actually Chinese gaming and opium-smoking resorts), ho found that in Melbourne there was really no class that could be described as tha wretched poor, at least such as exists so largely in this coun try. Tho colonist believed in what was known as the 'eight-hour system,' that is, eight hours' work, eight hours' play, eight hours' rest, and eight shillings a day, and during Mr Ure's visit to the colonies, a great demonstration took place in honour of that movement. Speaking of emigra tion, he said no idle or dissolute people need go to tho colonies, for there was no chance for such out there."

A sculling match is being arrangod be tween Hearn, the Champion of New Zoa land, and Boniface, a resident of Riverbro. The latter has challenged Hearn to row a three-mile race at Riverton for £100 a side, the champion to concede a start, of one minute. Hearn ie not prepared to make greater concessions than halt a minute,
