PANMURE LICENSING COM MITTEE.

Application for a New license

An application for a license for a new hotel at St. Helier's Bay, was heard on the 15tn inst. at Panmure. Mr Cotter appeared fol' the applicant (Mr Howard), and Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for the objectors. Mr Cooper named three objections to the grant ing of the license. (1) That the town of P amine was not within any licening district and the Committeo were acting without jurisdiction. (2) that the notices of appli cation were given in a district called the " Panmure and West Tamaki Licening Dis trict," and there was no such district. (3) that no local option poll had been taken in the West Tamaki district, in which the house was situated either in 1882 or 1885. It appeared from the pro clamations and plans produced by Mr Cooper that the town of Panmure was originally in the Mount Wellington district, but in 1883 had been excluded from that rtkfcriot, fiiul hud never since that date been in any district .under the Licensing Act at Ml 'Tho house for which tho license was nppfiefllor was in the WcstTainaki district Ml no poll was taken in that district in 1882 §£_fo«'e there V/ere not 100 ratepayers '» it. and Mfc ''ii!'/ poll taken in 1886 was in the " i'ornnnrr*'District," ft di.^riut which had jwg (rfteU. »-••" whatever.

HARBOUR BOARD.

Tire monthly meeting is taking place this afternoon. The following members are present:—Messrs Waddell (chairman), A. H. Nathan, Nicol, Laßoche, Phillips, and Henderson. Biugham's Cheek. — The Waitemata County Council forwarded tor tho Board's approval the plan of a public wharf and approaches thereto which it proposes t construct at Brigham's Crock, Waiparoira. Wilson's Portland Ckmknt.--J. Wilson and Co. wrote urging the preparation of a return showing the tensile value of every briquette of cement tested during the construction ot tho Rangitoto beacon in order to demonstrate the superiority of the local article. Wuarkaoe Bui'S.~ A letter was received from L. D. Nathan and Co., Cruickshank and Co., A. Heather, New Zealand Shipping Company, Stone Bros., and Henderson and Macfarlftrie, requesting, tho Board to waive wharfage dues in the case of vessels load ing here for London, and receiving cargo from Napier and Gisborne ex coastal steamers. Skwaoe and DiiAlNlNO.— A legal opinion was. received from Messrs Russell and Campbell on this matter. It stated that the law enabled the Harbour Board if unable to agree with the City Council as to the position of drains to refer that difference to the Public Works Minister, and if unable to agree as to the disposal of silt ami refuse matter, etc., have the question referred to the arbitration of some person ap pointed by the Governor, whoso do cision shall bo final. Tho Board had no duty to make drains, but it must not create a nuisance It had no means of compelling tho Council to make drains through land which tho Board reclaims, arid on the other hand, the Council could not compel the Board to build covered drains. The matter would require to be tho subject of negotiation and arrangement between the two bodies.

OitAKKJ Sand.—David Konealy wrote in forming tho Board that Gairctt Barry is in the' habit, of cai ting and excava ting uWiiy sand fioin tlie Or.ikei Beach, and that by doing so his (Kenealy's) property was being damaged. Tie would therefore look to the Bnard for indemnification. The Harbour Master re ported that lie hud ascertained that sand in small quantities was being removed. Svt.wyn Terrace. — He Mr Dilworth'a application for a footpath to houses in Selvvyn Terrace, Mr H. N. Warner (surveyoi) reported that the Board ;w.-is not responsible, and that the applicant in subdividing his property should have left sufficient for approaches thereto.

Cat.ltopi* Dnc-K.—The contract was rc poi ted to be progressing satisfactorily, lie. Mr Lanigan's complaint re detail drawings, Mr Errington stated that these had been supplied as far as necessary and that every consideration had been shown towards the contractor during tho progress of the works. Ho considered that the contractor had no just cause of complaint.

Pout Dues.—L. T). Nathan and Co. ap plied for the remission of tho extra tariff charge of 3d per ton port dues, to which the Hertiiione had become liable by reason of detention beyond the half-yearly torin in loading. Buildings tor Ferry Jktty. — The Works and Tariffs Committee recom mended that tho Engineer should alter his design for building an new ferry jetty in accordance with their suggestions. The Engineer had taken this hint nnd now submitted an amended plan for the. toll house and goods-shed referred to. This shewed the offices arranged for the accomodation of two steamboat Com pan ys instead of for merely one, and arranged in such a manner that, both would .have equal facilities for working the traffic. He had been obliged to extend the shelter shed ' 10ft further down the jetty, and this would enable him to save the extension of jetty on the eastern side. The amended plan would he more convenient, and less expensive Minn tho original one. He estimated the cost of the buildings at £500. Hobson axd Nelson street Drain.—The Finance and Legal Committee recom mended the Board to authorise the en gineer to remove the wooden shoots at tho junction of the reclamation with Hobson and Nelson Streets, and to replace them with permanent drains.—The recom mendation was approved. Renewal ok Queen-street Wharf.— The Engineer reported that the oldest por tion of this wharf was in an advanced state of decay, and he therefore pro posed in renewing it to carry it out to the same width as tho rest of the wharf, so thnt both sides might present a straight line from end so end. The length of the old portion was 136 ft and 55ft wide and he esti mated the cost of removal and widening at £3000. Tlie work should bo undertaken as soon as Sutherland's present contract lor re decking and widening is finished. Additions to Outer Western Tee.— Tlie Engineer in a report upon this matter urged the Board to provide proper shed ac comodation on the outer Western tee. He also proposed to add 40 feet to the present width of 55 feet, so as to afford room for a shed. The tee would then be 303 feet long by 95 feet wide. He sub mitted a plan of additions to the tee and shed accommodation, and estimated the cost at £7,375, viz., £6,000 for additions and £1.375 for a goods-shed, 375 ft x 40ft.

GISBORNE OIL WELLS.

Amongst the' passengers by the s.s. Te Anau from the South to-day was Mr Flem ing who is en route for Sydney on business connected with the Gisborne oil wells. He lias sent telegrams in advance with re ference to raising the capital for a pipe line and refinery. In both he feels assuied of being successful. A line of pipes from Gisborne to the Springs would cost about £10,000, and a refinery would take nearly as I much more. Mr Flem'ming believes the capital for the pipes can be raised in Auckland. There must be v new Company^ for tho pipe line and another for the, refinery. The latter will require about three acres of ground with a good supply of water, and with easy carnage to the port. The pipe line would take from one to two months to lay, aad it is believed the oil would flow all the way by gravitation. In any ease only one pumping station would be required. As showing the pros pect of the oil paying, it may be mentioned that in New South Wales there are two Companies extracting oil by re torting from shale, and paying well, though the retorting is very costly. They work 120 miles inland from Sydney, and the Oil is protected by a duty oi 6d per gallon. Retorting works were erected in Sydney, and £100,000 was spent in that way, but now the oil is extracted when the shale is mined. If that can pay, surely oil ready made by nature can. We arc informed that on the. Australian railways 10 per gallon is paid for a lubricator inferior to our oil. If there is plenty of oil here Aye might easily supply not only New Zealand, but the whole of Australasia. To this colony alone £150.000. worth is brought every year. The Pacific Company has a lease of 6000 acres of land. Mr Fleming proposes to sub-lease out areas of a low acres each to other borers, who would pay a royalty on the oil they got. Mr Fleming is himself quite confident that with in less than a year there will be a pipe line and refinery in full operation, and that a very larije number of new bores will

be sunk. The Minerva- is going ahead at once, and others arc likely soon to follow suit. A Christchurch Company.has a lease i of ground on the Waipaoa run, but has | hitherto done nothing on it. I ump in<>- gear for the Pacific Company will be obtained at once. Mr Fleming thinks it will be necessary for him to go to j America for the refinery plant, there having been a number of improvements made since he was there.

SUEZ MAIL NEWS.

(Per R.M.S. Ormuz.)

The Jubilee Naval Review.

The naval review was throughout a great success, but it did not pass without a slight and unfortunate incident. At the outset of the review, while the guns were being loaded on the gunboat Kite to fire the royal salute, a charge exploded, injuring four men, one fatally. The Queen, on hearing of the accident, sent a kind mes-

sago of inquiry, asking to be informed every day of how the wounded men pro giosscd. Besides three British squadrons, there were also present at tho review two French warships, a Dutch corvette, and a German frigate, the crews whereof heartily cheered the Queen, to whom the foreign officers were presented with the British captains aboard the Royal yacht.

The Reported Death of Stanley.

No kind of confirmation has been received of the rumour of Mr H. M. Stanley's death. On the contrary. General Straueh, tho Ad ministrator-General of the Congo_ State, regards the rumour as altogether improb able. The latest official news from the ex pedition announced Stanley's departure from Aricuwhini for Wadeloi on June 2. It is considered atßoma that Stanley would take two months in crossing the difficult fcraet of unexplored country between Arieu whini and the Albert Nyanza.

Mr Realy's Suspension—Lively Scene.

A scene took place in the House of Commons on July 28, when (as cabled) Mr Healy was suspended. It afforded a curious commentary on the remarks of the Speaker when closing the Tanner incident the previous week, that it was not likely that, such scenes would be repeated. As a matter of fact there were two scenes on the 28th, the first when Mr Healy complained in heated language that Mr Dolisle, a Catholic Conservative, was in terrupting him. Mr Courtney, Chairman of Committees, called on him to apologise, which ho at first refused to do, but on the intervention of Mr Parnell he ultimately did this. A division was soon afterwards taken, after which tho Chairman announced that he had sent for the Speaker, and mean while suspended proceedings. The Speaker having taken the chairs Mr Courtney re ported thatduringthodivision Mr I foaly had challenged Mr Dclisle "to come outside the House if he were a man and he would break. his head for him." Mr Healy ad mitted the accuracy of this, remarking, amid much excitement, "he intended to abide by what he said." The speaker thereupon named him. Mr W.TT. Smith moved his suspension, which, after some challenges and an appeal from Mr Healy to the I'arnellites, Mas carried without division.

The R.C. Bishop of Christ church.

On July 26, in the Church of the Marist Fathers, Spioer-street, Spitalfields, Dr. Gcrtnes, formerly Superior of the Mai-tat congregation at Pagnun, was consecrated Tinman Catholic Jihhop of Christchurch, Now Zealand.

HARBOUR BOARD CADETSHIP.

At tho meeting of the Harbour Board this afternoon, Mr Fidler submitted a report On the competition for the cadctship offered by the Board. He stated that there had been sixteen candidates and that the three highest competitors had proved to be s H S. Hough, Ist ; William Sommervillc, 2nd :W. J. Crowther, 3rd. Hough therefore carried off the cadctship.

, The storm and heavy rainfall at Grey mouth have resulted in on accidentthat came very near proving fatal in its consequences to a number of people. A tree fell across Mrs Clark's boarding-house at Spring Creek Hill, near the Twelve Mile. Eleven people were inside at the time. One had a leg broken, and the back injured. A little girl was seriously injured. The houses and most of its contents were com pletely wrecked.

The study of "Guy Manneriug" by the Amateur Dramatic Society is making rapid progress, aud the. performance will cer tainly equal, if not surpass, the presenta tion of it previously made by the same company. The musical portion also bids fair to be of equally excellent quality,, jtjh.e rehearsals being well attended, and tlie growing proficiency of the chorus being marked. Coupled with the promise of a play of sterling merit, well played and well staged, the small charge for admission should ensure bumper houses and unsub stantial benefit to those so thoroughly de serving of it as Mr and Mrs McUowaih*--.-

A meeting of Mr Moss's Election Com mittee is to be held at 7.30 to-night, when arrangements will bo made for his public meeting to-morrow evening, at. Newmarket.

Inspector Thomson seems to have sig nalised his assumption, of "the charge of 'Wellington police district by in stituting a raid against Sunday traders. Informations for Sunday trading have been laid against: no less than 170 of these dealers, who will be summoned to attend the Magistrate's Court within the next two or three days to answer charges of infringing the provisions of the Police Of fences Act that relate to Sunday trading.

Some recent additions, which are well worthy of inspection, have been made to the Industrial Exhibition in Wyndham street. Among them is a choice collection of fancy-work produced by the deft fingers of Miss Richardson's pupils at the Girls' High School. They reflect great credit upon both teacher and pupils. The collec tion comprises a crazy patchwork table cloth containing 240 pieces ; woollen work, leather work both plain and varnished and of various designs, macrame-work, portraits, crayons, and chryetoleuma. The young ladies who furnish these ex hibits are Mis.ses Pirie, Jo.vitt, Ryrie, Hall, Hill, Winks, Ada Dixon, and Cawkwell. Another new exhibit is a fine specimen of coal from the Miranda Coal Company's mine, weighing over half a ton in ono piece. Tlie Committee of the Exhibition meet to-night to decide when it shall bo closed, so, that those who., have nut yofc visited ib should delay.no longer.

RADICAL REFORM LEAGUE.

The monthly meeting of this, body took place last night in the Excelsior Hall, Upper Pitt-street. Mr H. VV. Farnall pie sided. The following report of tho Emer gency Committee was read and adopted : " In view of tho fact that the platform of the League has been adopted by candi dates generally, your Committee would strongly urge upon the League the advis ability of refraining from selecting any particular candidate, believing it would be injudicious to make such selection, and that the present and future useful ness of the League will be best) served by adopting this suggestion. They* however, would impress upon all mem bers tho necessity of supporting those candidates only who will, they feel as sured, advocate and uphold tho principles set forth in the League's political pro gramme, and of opposing to their utmost those who do not subscribe to it."

Several members announced that they had good reason to believe that a systematic and organised attempt was about to be made to pack the League in the interest of certain candidates.

Resolutions were then adopted as follows : Moved by Dr. Deale, seconded by Mr Jcunc, " That no now member be admitted to this League until after the general elections." Moved by Mr Duflus, seconded by Mr Holloway, "That as the British Royal Commission on the Depression of Trade has lately reported ' that since 1875 there has been a continuous fall of prices, caused by an appreciation of the standard of value,' wo trust that the Cabinet will tako im mediate steps to investigate that vital and momentous question." Ihe Secretary pro mised to forward this resolution to the Hon. Mr Tolo and the other members of the Government. Moved by Mr Duffus, and seconded by Mr llotherham, " That in ac cordance with the views expressed in the report of the Emergency Committee, this League decides to nominate no can didates tor the coming elections, and that the Secretary be instructed ho communicate this to tho Trades and Labour Council and the Industrial Association." A letter from the Nelson Political Reform Association was received, asking tho League to co-operate with them for united action in the interests of retrenchment and reform, and stating that they felt proud of the work done by the Auckland society. Communications were also received from several Parliamentary candidates in reply to the circular of tho

League. The meeting then adjourned to tho 3rd of October.

The glove contest at the Agricultural Hall on Saturday evening resulted in a pretty easy victory for the local man Dono van, over the New South Wales man, Jamef Gamble. Seven rounds were fought, and the large audience seemed thoroughly to enjoy the " sport." In the excite ment at tho close, a kind of "free light" took place between the parti? zans of the pugilists, who engaged in an excited argument. As a result of Saturday's match neither sparring event is lkely to come off.. Donovan and Martin are to meet to-night at Harrison's Anchor Hotel to " put up money for a boxing contest, to take place in public at an early date. Mr R.
