LARGE EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE.

The res-ival of trade in,the United States, and measurably in Canada, has led to a large emigration from Europe. So pro nounced is this, that all the Atlantic lines have issued notices to their agents to stop booking for the present. : The special features" is that number's of mechanics are going out, especially bricklayers, plasterers, and masons, from Scotland, Wales, and the northern...districts of England, in response to r.dvices from the other side that good openings arc now presenting to such craftsmen. Alto gether the emigration trade of the present season is more brisk than at any time during the previous seven years, and prospects point to a long period of activity.

" I chose the latter, not on account of his helping me to reach Emm Bey, ljut to assist in bring ing away Emm Bey's store of .ivory, valued nt£Bo-,(J00. In tho. presence of the British Consul, I contracted with TippoO Jib to supply me with , COO carriers.'...l also, after receiving consent from Kinp?

Tippoo has been ordered to concentrate his people at Stanley Falls in readiness for marching."

THE ALCESTER-DE LESSEPS CONTROVERSY.

This controversy, says a London des patch of March 27th, is one of the most curious in recent times Lord Alcester, commanding the English naval forces in Egypt in 1882, had given Do Lesseps a cheque for L] 00,000, as compensation for the. damage done to the Suez Canal, after, which De Lesseps had placed tho administration of tho Canal at tho disposal of the English. This Lord Alcestcr denied,-, and De Lesseps re affirmed the receipt of the cheque or draft for that amounton the Bank of England. On the27th Lord Alcester published a long statement with various letters from the officials concerned, showing clearly that no such cheque or draft was given, presented. or paid, and denying in express terms that this or, any other sum was ever given by him for the alleged or any other purpose.'

You shall have all that are in my opinion worthy ot'tiie acceptance of the Corporation.—Truly yours, G. Gituy.

Annual-Report. —Mr F. A. White road the 4th annual report, which showed that the revenue fell considerably short of the esti mate submitted at last annual meeting - , but the net profit after providing for depreciation, amounts to L3,f>!H 14s (id, being- moro then 5 per cent, on the total cost- of construction and purchase of tramway property,which might be considered a fair result in these times The directors did not contemplate any ex tension during the current year other than those which the Company were under con tract to complete with the City Council, vizi, College Hill and the short extension in Queen-street necessrury to complete the circle running. The directors had made arrangemonfci fdr ' tlie funds required for these extensions, in connection with an effort which would be made to raise money on debentures in the English market. It was also proposed to have additional car and horse accommoda tion at Fonsonby, and thus allow all opera tions to be conducted from that point, with increased eflioiency anr] economy. With regard to fines for noncompletion of the lines, the Council had met the Company in a liberal spirit, and remitted the penalties duo and extended the time tor completions as requested. The directors considered that the thanks of the shareholders were duo to the Council for the consideration shown in this matter, and were pleased to state that they did not now see any difficulty in the way of completing the works -within the time specified. Since the last meeting, an 'arrangement was inado with Mr R. N. Mollis to run his Onehunga 'buses, connect ing with tho tramway service at Newmarket, and subsequently the directors purchased tho plant, and took over the line, a step which had proved judicious tho scheme having paid fairly well in itself besides feeding tho tramways In consequence of tho continued commercial ' depres sion in Auckland, no sales of land had been effected during the year. But there was now evidence of demands, fflr such lands, two sales having been effected since the balance-sheet was made up, and further inquiries had been received regarding price and terms. The directors proposed to take advantago of this, and offer tho land of the Company at lower rates than hitherto. New maps would bo prepared and the allotments revalued, and then full publicity would be given to the favourable opportunity for the purchase of such desir able properties. In accordance with the rules of the Company three directors — Messrs T. Morrin, Dr. Purdue, and J. M. Clark —re tire, but offer themselves for re-election. The Chairman, Mr J. Mi Clark, in moving the adoption of the report referred to the depressed time, but thought that there was a brighter outlook in tho future. Mr Elkin referred to the statement of the Chairman, in which he said their thanks were due to the very liberal manner in which the City Council had dealt with tho penalties incurred fOr non-comple tion of the lines within the prescribed period. Ho wished he could ex tend those thanks to others, but it seemed to him that the public looked upon the Tramway Company as its natural enemy instead of being, as he held it was. its natural benefactor.' it was a question of overcrowding on seme exceptionally wefc evening, when it was most difficult to prevent would be passengers getting upon the cars or whether it was some compensation case, the direction of feeling was evidently the same, viz., to rush into print and blamo the management, or 'to give buch damages as would not bo given if it was an individual being, sued in stead of a corporation. In this re lation he congratulated the directors that they might, like the Gunard Company, make the proud boast' that after carrying between one and two millions of passengers, they had not damaged a singlo life or limb, and he hoped this immunity would continue during the current year, especially for the reasons stated. Ho was glad to hear thai tho Board's efforts would continue to be directed to the getting rid of the dead weight in the shape of land which was strangling the Company, and asked some questions as to thq prospect of floating the debentures on the London market, the. price estimated for the land in prospective forfeited shares, etc,

Elkction Of Directors.—The retiring officers, Messrs. J. M. Clark, T. Motrin, and Dr. Purchas, were unanimously re olected.

Auditors. — Messrs Milne, Waymouth and Captain Thomas were candidates for this position. —The Chairman considered that one auditor would do. —On the motion of Mr F. L, Prime, seconded by Mr Wj Thorne, Mr John Milne waa appointed auditor for the ensuing years, at a salary of £20;

Thanks. —Mr J- Elian moved a vote of thanks to tho Chairman and directors, They had worked hard, and had notdoduetcd the honorarium to which they were entitled uudor tho Act;.—Mr W, F. Hammond seconded the' motion, which waa unani mously adopted. — Tho Chairman brieily returned thanks, and in doing so, stated that during the past year the posi tion had been,,difficult, in steering their barque through, the troubJeclVwaters/bub be believed that inthe ensuing yeai-s ib would be easioiy and'after that a pleasure. He considered that a great deal depended upon the stall', and no must compliment then in the way the Company had. been worked, '. A. visitor to Auckland whom he was talking'about had expressed the opinion that their Tramway was the best worked of any; that ho had seen.' He therefore' felt) that thanks were duo to the staff,

Eighty-four applications have been re ceived by the Board of Education for the position of clerk and accountant. They have been referred to the Training College Visiting Committee.
