THE SAILORS' HOME.

■ yj n2 tlic Foundation Stone. ebd av afternoon, the coremony of • DX the foundation Etone of the now o'iMine of tlio Sailors' Home was por ? «d by His LordshiD tho Bishop. Upon {?' oUtform with Bishop Cowio, Mrs and {?•«» Cnwie, wore, amorjgat others, Sir William Fox, tho Hon. G. Waldegrave, Col. a iluin Rsv. J. S. Hill and Mr Brackon- SSSottoß the V.M.C.A.), tho KevP. Iv Purcbas, K. Burrows, J, Batos, Wr E Burke, and VT, Tebbs, Captain ) 'j 6re on, and Messrs T. Glover, McMillan, E Bartley. H. B. Fell (Sailors' Missionary), Captain Tilly, and others. Amongst tho il/iiea present wero : Mrs J. Murray Moore, Mrs Schwartz Kiasling, Mrs C. B. Stono, and Misses Fairburn (who presided at tho wmoniuu), Roskruge, Maunsell, Olive, f Lodge, Kerapsall, and others. The Ray. JS Hil'oponed tho proceedings with praytr, after ffn'o" B'shop Cowie, President of tho Homo* addressed the meeting aa follow?: - Tt will, I think, intorest all »ho are here to day and thoso who read tho account of our riroceedinge, to be reminded of the humblo beginning of our Sailors' Home. On Decem ber 1, 1882> a few of our fellow citizens wore invited by me to a meeting, to consider what tiould be dons fo- the moral abd roligious teaching of the aoafaring Section of tho com iHanity, and for their social benefit. I was induced to rriakb a beginning in this work B hen I did, by the arrival in Auckland of Mr Foil, who hod had much oxporienco as aSeirnan's Missionary in Liverpool. Tho frierlda who took part at our lirs: meeting T ero the Keys. J. Bates, H. Davia, C ,M. Kelson, and W. Tobba ; and Mofsrs R. M. Clark, Clayton, Eivtagton, Heath, Heathor, tarkins, Pierce, Stroot, Tilly, arid Wil liams. As soon as we wero in a pasition to rent rooms for tho purposes of our Sailors' Rest we did co, taking two rooms in a ebop on the Queen street wharf. Whilst tho chief object of the committee waß to help the jailors morally and spiritually, we did not undervalue the importance ol providing a home in which bedrooma could be obtained by seamen not resident in Auckland. We bad not, however, in the beginning of ISB3 much hope of being ablo to build such a home for many yeara to come. Whan Sir G. Grey was Premier ho kindly promised to obtain a grant of ITiOO, to meet subscriptions amount ing to that euid, for tho erection of a Sailors' Homo ; but my endeavours to obtain tho necessary subfeription were unsuccessful. By tho end of March, ISS3, tho funda that our committee had collected for tho work of the Sailora' Roet noro almost oxbauated, and by the ndvico of tho committee I sent a communication to the editor of the " Herald*" stating tho purposes of the Rest, and our need of money. Hia Excellency tho present Governor wa? the first one to respond to this appeal, pending us £5 on the following day. The statement in the ii Herald " was also seen, most fortunately, by Mr Samuel Jackson, who, on April 16, was commissioned by the late Mr Edward Costley to make his will, leaving nearly all his property to Auckland institutions re commended by Mr Jackson. Accordingly, £12,150 was bequeathed to the Sailora' Home, "inaugurated, or being inugurated, by Bishop Cowie." (Applar.se). The Sea faring community of Auckland ara therefore indebted to Edward Costley for the en dowment by which the committee have been enabled to carry on their work thus far : and to him they will bo in dobtod for tho Homo of which the founda tion stone is about to be laid. But it is not, X think, overstating the case when I Bay that without tho good judgment of Mr Jackson, and his kindly tooling towards our sailors, our benefactor, Edward Costley, would not havo been able to do what he did for this institution. (Hear, hear) Of the £12,150 bequeathed to na by Mr Costley, tho Council of Management are about to ex pend £5,000 in the erection of a suit able building, on a site which, for the purpose? of the building, could not be sur passed in convenience ; the site being gran ted by the Harbour Board, of which the Chairman is an ox-Dfßciomemberof the Coun cil of the Home. It would occupy too much time wereltoatt3mpttoname all tho friands, especially tbe ladie?, who have given much valuable help in carrying on the work of the Sailors' Rest, henceforth to be known as the Sailors' Home ; but I cannot omit to place on record my sense of the servicoa rendered to ua bySir Frederick Whitakor —(applause) —to whom wo are indebted for our constitu tion deed, and, I think I may say, for the Act of Parliament by which the Harbour Board were enabled to Eat apart thia desirable site for our Sailors' Home. Our constitution deed provides that tho Home shall be for the benefit Ol the sea-faring community of Auckland, without respect to tho nationality or the religious belief of those who shall make uee of it; that the building shall be open to religious teachers, under the direction of the Council ; and that no intoxicating, drink Bhall be allowed in the building - (applause) —nor any gambling permitted. (" Hear, hear," and loud applause.) Wehope that the building will be completed by the end of the year. The history of the Home, so far, Buggeets two important reflections to till the citizens of Auckland ; the firat be ing that, if we would benefit the com munity by good gifts of whatsoever kind, we must deny ourselves the luxuries and many of the comforts of life, as Edward Coatley did s and the second, that a work that needs to be undertaken for the benefit of any section of the community should bo begun with the means that are available, and should not be deferred until all that can be desired in relation to the particular work is already in our possession. (Loud applause.) Colonel Haultain then read the document to be enclosed in the stone aa follows t — This document records tho fa"ct that in this city of Auckland on the 6th day of April, 1887, Bishop Cowie laid thia foundation Btono of the Anckland.Sailors' Home, which was built and endowed by a beneficent be quest of £12,000 made by Bdward Costley on a grant of land by the Harbour Board Then followed the names of officers of the Home :- President, Bishop Cowie ; Vice- President, Captain H. F. Anderson ; Mem bera; F. Battley, Thomas Buddlo, Arthur Heather, F. Larkina, Rev. J. S. Hill, Dr. Murray Moore, Colonel Haultain, A. Devore (Major), W..8. Woddel (Chairman of Har bour Board), H. B Fell (sailors' missionary), Edward Bartley (the architect), aud Thomas Colebrook (the contractor). The other paptr documeutß enclosed were copies of the three daily newspapers of April sth the balance-sheet ot the Home for '85, and the day's programme, blbo several silver coins. "After the ceremony of smearing the mortar with a silver trowel, presented to Dr. Cowie by the architect, Mr Wad del being absent, Mr McMillan addressed those present. He regretted most heartily the absence of all tho members of the Har bour Board. What was interesting to sailors should bo so to the Board. He spoke of the thanks due to Mr S. Jackson. The Hon. G. ■Waldegravo aleo spoke, calling at tention to the dangers besetting sailora on shore, and showing how useful a Home was to these persons, where, free from the temptation of the city, they could havo thier spiritual wants attended to, A hymn, and the beaediction pronounced by Hia Lord ship, closed the proceedings.

THE ALLEGED PERJURY CASE.

The Reeidsnt Magistrate, Mr H G. Seth Smith, was occupied from 10 o'clock this morning with the conclusion of the charge of perjury preferred against Alexander Camp bell by Mrs Ann Robertson. Mr Hudson Williamson appeared far the prosecution and Mr F. Earl for the defence As the prosecution concluded on Tuesday,Mr Earl addressed the Court on behalf of the accused. He reviewed the evidence at some length, and submitted that this wag not euch a case as would warrant the Bench in calling upon the accused for his defence. His Warship aaid that he had listened to the address of the counsel for the defence with attention, but he must cay that he thought that this was a case which he ought not to decide without calling upon the defendant to answer the charge. Mr Earl said that he must then ask for time in which to bring up witnesses from Kotorua, as they were most important. His Worship said that he would allow time,but could only adjourn for 8 days at a time. , Mr Williamson oaid that under the cir cumstancos he must ask that more bail should be required. His Worship ordered the accused to nnd one 3urety af £100 and himself in £100. Tho Home, it may be mentioned, is fonnded on Temperance principles, the following is the clause of the constitution deed relating to intoxicating drinks : " No intoxicating drinks shall be used or brought into or on any building or premises belong ing to or under the control of the Associa tion, and forming part of or occupied with the Sailors' Home. The case of Mrs Blandon v. the Mayor and Corporation of Auckland, a claim for £250 awarded by the Corporation Court was being heard at the Siy?reme Ciurt to-day before His Honor Mr Justice Ward, There was a long preliminary de bate hy couns.l so that very little er.denee was taken up till the time of going to press.

DEPUTATIONS TO THE PREMIER.

—« | Protection of Local Industries A deputation of the Executive of the { Auckland branch of the New Zealand In | durtrial Association, viz : — Messrs G. Fraaor (President), Chas. Atkin, R. Cran well, J. Bram-j, J. -Winks (Mayor of Parnell), John Mason, A. Bell, Stonhoiuo, J. Brown (New Zealand Furniture Com pany),and T. Bell (Union Soap and Candle Works)—waited upon the Premier at 9 45 this morning to urge upon him the desira bihty of further protection to local indus tries. Mr Fraeer, who acted as spokesman, ex pressed gratification with tho character and tono of the address delivered by tho Premier last ni K ht, remarking as he did so that it loft the deputation almost nothing to say. Hia ideas exactly suited thorn Their ob ject as an Association waa to get those r6ally interested in industrial questions. viz, tho working and manufacturing claeaos, to understand their true position and to ascertain tho bost way of relioving tho existing depression. While our porta remained open to the introduction of pro ducts from foreign countries, whero labour was cheap, it was almost an impossibility to start suitable indus tries in this colony. lie said this as a sottler of 30 years' standing, and as an om p^oyor of labour for 26 years. Ho was con vinced wo could produce in thia colony all that wo required if only tho industii-s could be fairly started and got under woigh. Once fuirly etarted, com petition within tho colony wou'd afford sufficient protection to the consumers against high prices. Mr Charles Atkin said that his views wore, porhnpa, not thoroughly in accord with those who favourod an entirely protectionist policy. Ho camo to New Zealand n positive free trader, but circumstances had some what modified his opinione. In his own trade for instance—viz., coachbuilding-he had perceived the injury done to local in dustry by the absence of wise protection. Thus, carriage epokes were admitted duty freo from America, whilo the appliancos necessary for miking them woro taxed Tho Government should lose no time in cor recting fucli on anomaly as thi*. Yot a great number of coaehbuildon', ns, for examplo, Burns and Co., would oppose such a representation, fcr many of thciri were in tho babit of importing everything rcoj lisitp for tho making of a buggy. A goodly number of the things ho roforrrd to wore admitted duty freo, and a good many others which wero not duty freo wero produced in a wny which, if generally known, would influence the public considerably iii favour of protection. For example, buggy oxlon in Amorica wore made entirely by prison iabour. There the people, for that very reason, sat their faceß against them, and as a consequence they were the principal articlo of export to the colonies. The question was how to combat such a state of things with out appearing by means of a protection duty to invade the rights of labour here. Those were poiiita which had been brought uudur the notice of variouß Governments Then, too, hickory spokes were largely iuported from America, despite tho fact that epokea made out of our own manuka could bo shown to last double tho timo hickory did. At present ao great was tho importation of made-up goods from Americ i that coachbuilder.i who used theeo things could only do half the processes of coach building, and were ablo to compote at an advantage with those who turned out over} - thing for them: elves. Mr T. Bell pointed out tho desirability of encouraging tho growth of linseed for the production of oil. The present duty of 6d a gallon was altogether insuih'cieot for that purpose. In America, where the gallon waß equal only to TJlba aa against 91ba hero and in England, the duty was 4s 2d. Experiments had shown that linseed could be grown here and oil produced from it of better quality than the imported article. Yet tde colony expended £57,000 in the importation of vegetable oils, which could be as well manufactured here. Mr A Bell instanced starch as another article which could be profitably pro duced in the colony if only the indus try were protected at tho outset. We imported thousands of pounds worth of it every year, and yet if tho indus try wore only sot on its foot we could pro duco it at two-thirds of the price paid for tbo imported article. Then thero waa maizena, of which wo imported 4,15011)8 in ISS4. In Opotiki maizo of the finestquality was grown —equal to the best that came from Jfigypt or tbe Black Sea—and if the local growers wero only reasonably protected at first, tho tarmera would reap an immense benefit, and a new and very promising industry would be created. Mr Bell went on to enumerate a number of other articles that deserved protection, laying particular etrea3 upon grindery and made-up articles. By intro ducing a few experte and conceding some measure of protection, those made-up articles could be turned out in the colony, thus affording employment to thousands of women and girls. Our imports from America alone amounted to £360,000, so that there was considerable room for local industry. The Premier, who had taken notes of tho various suggestions made by tho deputa tion, expressed pleasure at being made acquainted with the various industries that the deputation thought should be considered when the tariff came to be rearranged. He suggested that before Parliament met the deputation should go right through the tariff and draw up a list of the alterations which they considered desirable. At the aame time he warned them that the battle to be fought io the House would not be waged on that ground. From indications manifest in Mr Ormond's late speech, and from other things that were taking place, bo could perceive that the revision of the tariff would produce a storm of opposition from members raising the cry of " increased taxation 1" The political fight in the Houfe of Representa tives would be fought on that ground, for the Opposition would keep out of tight the question of local industries, and raise the cry that increased taxation was threatened. He hoped they would keep this in mind in dealing with protection to local in dustry as a political question. He agreed with what Mr Atkin had said ; they could not go in for pn tection itaelf, but they could co arrange the tariff that thoßO things which could be profitably started here Bhould be fairly considered in the arrange ment of the tariff. He was glad that articles had been recommended for favour able consideration, which would be of im monse benefit- to the farming community as well as grindery, which was one of the secondary agricultural products. The deputation thanked the Premier and withdrew. , , The Premier's reply to a deputation for tho Hospital and Charitable Board yester day promised to look into a clerical dilli culty in the way of collecting the rate. He pointed out thatthe support of non-criminal indigent children must be undertaken by the Board, and promised to look into the question of site for refuge at Ellerslie, and the proposal to baud over tbe Relieving Officer's rooms in Princes-street a3 a site for offices for the Charitable Aid Board. * The Premier's Departure. The Premier, accompanied by Lady Stout and Mr J. Lockie (private secretary), left by the s.s. Gairlook at 1 o'clock this after noon for Waitara, whence he proceeds by rail to Wellington. He will arrive there on Friday night.

PECULIAR ASSAULT CASE.

William Goodlson waa charged at the Police Court this ttiorning, before Mr J. P. King, J.P., with uelng threatening lan guage to one James Edmonds, by threaten ing to kill him and shutting him up in a rouin, and rushing at him with a spanner in his hand, and striking the said James Edmonds. Mr Franklin appeared for the defence. James Bdmonda deposed that be was conversing with two of hia emfloyca in front of Uarrett'e buildings. One ot them referred to the late tire in Beresford-atreet, and said that he believed the occupants were a " rum lot." The defendant was past' ing at the time, and soon afterwards came to witness and told him that a man wanted to 6uo him in Brodie's Hotel. Witness had a spanner in his hand at the time, and carried ie with him into the hotel. When they got into the passage the defend ant said that the man was in the nearest room. Witness asked him to toll ilie man to come out, The de fendant told witness to go is. Half pushed him in. Shut the door of tho room, at tho same time snatching the Bpannor irom his hand. Ho then suid to witness, " You by —y scoundrel ; 1 have got you here at last," and rushing at him,struck him in ths mouth. Witness opened tho window and shouted out to Mr Brcdie that a man wanted to murder him. Goodison then ran out bo fore Mr Brodio got iusido to see him. Mr Franklin cross-examined tho wit ness, who admitted that ho had heard that Uoodieon's sister was in the house which his man referred to, and that he had said they were " a fearful family and had put the country to great expense lor the last eighteen years." Ooodi sou was passing at the time, and might have heard the remark. Mr Jirodie, licensee of tho Naval Hotel, deposed to hearing the last witness call out. He ran into tho room, but saw no one but Mr Edmonds. Mr Franklin asked tho Bench if there really was any case to answer. Mr King repliod that when a respectable man was decoyed into an hotel and brutally assaulted, for his part ho thuuld consider that there was a caso to answer. Mr Franklin thought that the Bench should not express an opinion at proeont. Mr King said that they bud only to look at the two men to bo eatietiod that Mr Kdmonds was not likely to have trumped up such a caso. Willium Goodieon, tho defendant, was then culled. Hia evidence was a total denial of tho allegations of tho piaintilf. Ho could not remembor having 60011 him before. Gould not ttate where ho wan about the hour mentioned, but thought that ho was at Brophy's Hotel not BrocUo'a. Mr King was decidedly of opinion that the assault had been committed. Ho was only sorry that other pbrsons had not wit nespod it. He was also sorry to find that Mr Goodison's memory was so very deficient. Ho would bind down the defendant to keep tho poacs for six months, himself in £50 and two sureties of £25 each, and aleo to pay all costs, TIiAMKS, this day.

Professor Aldia and Mr Edwin Cox inter viewed the Premier to urge the removal of the riflo range from Mount Eden. The Premier said he would enquire into tbe matter,

A WONDERFUL WATCH. THE CORRECT TIME FOR THIRTEEN AND SIXPENCE.

One of the chief signs of the progress of the n<rc in which wo live id tlio rapid im provement of machinery, audits tendency to cheapen tho requirements of modern life. Fifty years ago, for instanco, only .1 rich man could own a watch, and tho majority of mankind wero obliged to cal culate the time by the sun's altitude, the village dial in tho old churchyard, or a generation further back, by the hourglass. Today, however, the im|wrtanco of titno obtains a wider recognition—not only as .1 convenience or a luxury, but as the abso lute essence ol business, and a reliablo timekeeper is a primary requisite -iliko of the merchant and his clerk, the employer and the employee, the schoolmaster and the pupil, tho young and the old. the rich and the poor. A timepieco ot soinn iort is positively indispensable Only 1 jewelled watch timed to split the seconds is a^ luxury. A good, serviceable, reliable watch ia a necessity—tho first requisite, of social and business life—and such n ono ia tho Waterbury, tho cheapest and most, reliable watch in tho world, Tho Water bury is so cheap that everybody can afford to own one. and its cheapness arises trom the supreme simplicity of itsi construction. Becauso it is cheap, however, don't, re gard it as a toy or children's waUth. it v equal in appearance, finish, and accuracy, to tho most oxpo'> sive Article superior In strength and durability, and will cost loss to repair than any other. The Waterbury is in every respect, essentially tho watch for tho mechanic, the clerk, the miner, tljp bush man, tho working man—in a word, tho watch for tho people, and is within cho reach of all Descriptively tho Waterbury is similar in appearance and ei'C to fcho Walthnni - has a white dial, bevelled crystal Klax.=. .mcl is koyleHS, or a »t«m winder : »o fear of losing the key or leaving it in somo other pocket.. As an evidenro of tho value and reliability of these splondid watches, wo «ro now manufacturing over thrco hundred thon sand yearly, all of which arc rogularcd and tested before leaving tho factory.
