/ (PROM OXTB. LONDON CORRESPONDENT.)

London,- April-1. Lord Tjsnn'yson's Jubilee Ode appears in= "Macmillan'fj Magazine" for April. It is! \veak,pratensiouiS and unmusical, altogether' a miserable failure; The following are ox-' tracts : -r= r. Fifty times the rose has flower'd and faded,. Fifty times-the golden harvest fallen, Since our Queen assumed the- globe, tlie* sceptre. ■ IL She beloved for a kindliness Rare in Fable or History, ■ Queen, and Empress of India', Crou'.n'd so long with a diadem Never worn by a worthier, .

Fifty years of ever-broadening Commerce ! Fifty years of ever-brightening Science ! i?ifty years of ever-widening Empire !

X. You, tho Mighty, the Fortunate, You l , the Lord-territorial, You,- the Lord-manufacbufer, You,- the hardy, laborious, Patient children of Albion, You,- Canadian, Indian, Australasian, African, AH your hearts , be in harmony, All your voices in unison, Singing " Hail tfr the glorious ©olden year of her Jubilee !"

XI. Are there thunders moaning in fcho dis tance ? Are tfievo' spectres moving in the dark ness , ? Thief t'no Lord of Light to guide her people, fill tlie thundefa pass, the spectres vanish, And' fcllo Light is Victor, and the dark ness XJawrts into the Jubilee of the Ages.

Far nobler in all respects is Mr Lewis Morris's rhytlvmic find vigorous "Song of Emigre" in "Murray's." I append the' passage referring i& Australasia: — See what a glorious throng fcliey come, Turned to their ancient home, The children of our Engfand !

The final nioeting of tlio London Cbm- Eiittec of the Ade'aido Jnbilea Exhibition ■was held on Tuesday afternoon last, Sir -Herbert Sandford, tfho Rails for Australia, by the Austral on the J 4th inai:, presiding. From the .report it appealed that the total irainbor of Bnvopeun exliibibors in the in dnsf.rial section was 008, of which 25v;eva &itish, 72 German, and 72 Belgian; France, Atstria, and other countries being repre sented by a smaller number of exhibitors. r J!h&o wore 379 British lino arfc oXhibrts/ in t'2udinp S5 oil and 50 water colours from many eminent British artiste, including £3 Koyai Academicians, and 139 Belgian fee ~aV6 exhibits. The total miift reserved for! space money in London v-as L3,^0, ; of Which '6honh'ih2)7oo wotild be remitted to Jidelaicte.' (M'awEoai J. W. Downer waa in Biiccession to Sir Herbe!l - sah"dfo'rd',""find ilio proceedings wound up with congratula tory votes of thanks,for their services being passed to the last-named gentleman, to Sir Samuel .Davenport, Sir Arthr.r Blyth, Mr S.

ESie Wrctfk of tlie Maimed;?. As was generally anticipated, the .Wreck Couimissior.cr has found that the Ada Helfttore was wholly responsible for the deplorable collision with the emigrant ship Kapunda in January Ist. Tho cause of 6he "disaster, the Court declared, was that the Ada Melmore wns not properly lighted, and tbstt her ofßceis did riot Keep a proper look-out. Side-lights, it seems, were nofc exhibited, because through a piece of care lessness tho barque was short of oil. The captain of tho Ada Meimore'3 counsel urged that ib was not customary to carry «de-Hghtß in those latitudes in fine weather. But the Court brushed away this alarming proposi tion, and held that it had only been the practice on board the Ada. Melmore, where it wad'a gross doreikifeion of dut)'. The Ada Melmore Seems! indeed to have fcee'n about as badly managed a ship ad one could well corns across. When the two. vessels came in, sight of each other'the Kapurida starboarded, which was the proper course to pursue ; Wi the Ada Blelraofe' luffed, and was " thrown up into the wind" after | a raosfc'unaearaanliko fashion. -The " Uaily j Kew§ " expresses, very properly, much as tonishment that a man like Captain Milli keh, of the Ada Melmore, who,^accord ing to his own account, has been: thirty-five years at eea, shotrld have blundered in v way thfit would have disgraced a midshipman. The same journal comments unfavourably on the leniency of tlio Sentencesi passed oh cap tain and mate. .1 can only say 1 think them •simply preposterous. Considering that the inexcußablecarelessness • ho> tougeetfoflger language—of these two men cost over ihi'M ihuhdrca lives and two like ships, oii'e would surely have at least expected to hear of their ceriiiieatce beirigsuspended for h lengthened

peHbd, if nbf) permanently. In3teadlof that, however, .the captain^ certificate is merely suspended for two years* during which time he can go to sea as mate ; whilst the mate, who was the primary cause of the catastrophe, gets oft' altogether. Everybody will be glad to notice that the Court complimented' tlie chief officer of the K-apunda on the pluck and presence of mind he showed during that dreadful night. Mr Hume Black, ML.A., the new repre sentative of tho Norths Queensland Separa tion Party, has arrived in London. Mr Bice, ono of tliu oldest missionaries' at tached to tho Melar.esian Mission, has also returned home, after many years' absence, with his wife. Tlie Hon. Patrick Perkins sails for Melbourne next Friday by .bho Bengal.

Imperial* Fetleration lLca'atfe

The annual meeting of the Federation League at the Mansion House yesterday was more successful than the same re-union: last year. That, I think, is about all that can be stud. Sir Wm. Me Arthur occupied the chair (vice the Lord Mayor, indisposed), and the main supporters of the' League' (such as Mr 0. V. Morgan,, M.P., Captain Colomb, Lord Strathcdon, Sir F.. D. Bell, Si- G. Bowen, Sir H. Barlcly, Professor Seeloy, Sir H. Vernoy and Sir A. Gait, mustered in force. Tho outside public, however,, manifested bub little interest in tho proceedings: The* committee in their report deplored. Forster's death, alluded to tho establishment! of the journal of" tho league, " Imperial ■ Federa tion," and urged tho necessity "of a capital fond- being founded which- would- yield- a clear LSOO a year, exclusive of subscrip tions. Lords 'Rosoberry and Carnarvon, who had promised bo apeak,, sonb letters of apology. Hon. James Service, in moving the-adoption of tho report, said-: — In endea\ouring to conservo the unity of' the Empire for all time, it was of tha high eat importance that! tho Gorernmont should understand what ovory portion of tho population of the Empire folk vribb regard to Imperial matters. The colonists had long de3ired that their views upon matters affecting thomsolvoß should be heard and duly considered by tho Colonial Office ; and that due vigour and interesb should bo Shown in carrying out a policy thafc had boon onco endorsee! by Cho Imperial Govern ment. Tho colonists would nob bo un reasonable in their demands, and wore pro pared to si'riU their own' feelings to a large extent in favour of the higher in terests of the Empire. But aS tho presens moment; the foeling in the colonies with retip'eeb Co bho method of carrying- out Imperial policy was one of dissatisfaction, to use no stronger word.. (Hear, hoar.) l'n New Guinoa, in tho New Hebrides, everywhoro in the Pacific, all the give hnd been on ono side, and nil tho take on the other. English statesmen wero too much taken up with their party politics to give that attention to1 the dofonco of the Empire which was absolutely essential. (CheerS.) Fartv politics ought to be banished in tho 'consideration of Imperial interests. (Cheers. )■ At the suggestion of Sir A. Gait the League placed on record its satisfaction at the summoning of the impending Colonial Conference. Sir Alexander expressed a special hope that tho questions of pdstal and'telegraphic communication between tho colonies and the mother country, and also of a Commercial Union, would bo thoroughly threshed out at the Conference,

The South Ifonsfngton Riosf.

The Princo of Wales is, I bear, much disturbed by the renewalof the scandal in connection with the .South Kensington rriig. Vino has, in a small way, always ; been a particular protege of H K.H.s, and should any of the cjaririg allegations of the wKTcfrnow-freems iHovste&FdpT;o'6» - eoKFeeij there will bo v ructions '' (if 1 may use buoh a vulgar, word in connection with royalty) at Marlborottgh House. Mean' whilo tho chairmen of the four exhibitions with which Vine was concerned have addressed a letter to tho Prince, in which they touchingly express their unabated belief in that gentle man. Aprppo-f of thta opistlo, the " Pall Mail Gazette" fays:—"A certain inaptitude seem to dog the steps of nil eon corned in the South Kensington Shows. Tho ifttest illustration is nfloiderl by1 tho raemcranduiti which hf.s been■forwarded to tho Pvinco of about Sir" Somers Vine. Tho attention of the persons signing this rrieir.orandum has been called, it seems, to certain "erroneous allegations" maclo about Sir Somers Vine; bub instead of correcting tho errors they merely write to tell tho Prince that they are much attached to the gentleman in question -an interesting fact in its way, ito doubt, but hardly a jjovol one, since everyofio was perfectly aivafo already time the Stiuth Kensington ring was a particu larly happy family. But to suppose that & series of definite ami., specified suspicious against Sir Somers Vine can he disposed of ', by stating that Sir Johnlloie has t all could- ■ dence in him betrays a e'uriously inadequata' sense'en both these gentlemen's parts, nos merely of lo*ic, but of luiwiour."

CORRESPONDENCE.

A--Jubilee Suggestion. —"Obco" sug gdsts, in connection with the Queeirs Jubilee, the institution af a military city band that would be the pride ngt only of the City of Auckland, but of tho tidily, such band to be'reserved for pnbjiceei'e'moniesand performing in the parks during the summer nJdfithS. He says : "As wo have good material for the carrying out of such a sug. gestion in the old city band, under Mr lrrtpey (since called tho ''Auckland United" after amalgamating with eight or ten. of the better members of tho lato Artillery Band), I would propose thnt the said band, under the patronage of tho City Council, give a concert on the 21st pi-ox., in which the band would take ft large part, and that; honorary members be invited from the ranks of our better-class citizens at a guinea p&r anmrm s That such a memorial would not be an ephemeral one ia evidenced from the fact that tho band, althongh one of the oldest in the colony, is still flourishing, with twenty-five members on its roll, who practise regularly overy week, although not known to the public. If the encouragement mentioned above is given, I am certain tha'& we shall have a band worthy of tho city.'*

Trrs Rifle Raxge, -- A correspondent says : " A riSe ranjjo to be really useful for praetico and precision in shooting; must be cdmeatable, or near tho 'busy Imunts of men,' and thus to some slight extent be" a necessary evil. In actual warfare there is no doubt but that men Avho had been in 1 the habit of going constantly about in country places shooting at stumps and stones, etc., etc., at all distances and under totally different conditions of light and shade, would inflict far greater loss to the enemy than those only accus tomed to a range; but still the said practice would be quite as great a source of terror to a few of the old ladies of both sexes as tar fet practice, letting alone the extreme anger of so doing. A stray bullet glanc ing'from a rock would be as likely to pierce the brain of a professor as tfaa't oi a plotighboy'y and although the l&fiter ,mf|jht easily be replaced, yet who could calculate 6ne-hdlf (leavjri* olit 6f tho question fch^ better one) of the loss tb thfc cbm'riiirnib]? 6! a real live professor, whosft VodaMon was 'teaching the yonng ideas how tor .*hoot,' and who, if thus liit, wfeuld also be surely missed* at all events from the ranks of the learfled, if hot from the Volunteers of Auckland."

Increased Purchasing Power.

(To the' Editor.)1

Sir, —We hear a good' deal of tho increased purchasing power of money, and officials of overy class are told' that it is- so. I must say I fail to see it to any extent. I am a leaseliolcler, as many otlier-3- aro, and,, tlieve fore, falling rents do nob benefit) us ; meat and bread° are no cheaper, groceries ;'(in :a full1 market)' are'clvea-peiy and" also- ready made clothing', to those who purchase it. Taxes aro heavier, ami-bid fair to increase. Em ploy Went" .for" your family is- icarbor. Our girls do noli get ularried. Investments in shares and other local matters yield little or no help to khos« who havo invested their little savir.gs. Where, Chen, comes- tho increased purchasing power of money ? Tiio working people aro apt to ov&rlook the fact that wiulo they prate of t-bose 'matters; they forget 6ha-&> the■ higli fH'ice and short hours of- labour insfetedi upon 13 ono of the greatest bars to local1 manufac iturinw.industrics.and' prevents our being in a position to compete witlv others. Let them reflect on bhiai position and bear in ■ mind a<? a class, notwithstanding their lower pay, they liavq many substantial advantages over officials};—Vours, etc., M.R.

Notes and Queries.

(.To' the Editor.)

Sin;— How much', in addition to tho enor mous cost of Government education, £381,509 a year,, dboa a private school expenditure tot up? and how 'many child ren (in or about) are educated ut tho aole chttfgo of spirited, independent parents ? How lniich'ia uavedto tilio- oolony thereby? Could this unfortunate country bear fcliis additional cost if added to the general taxation? Does centralising \VolTington conic oh" favonrably r» imposition of new taxes, considering the large sums of public money squandered fchoro upon it« " army of martyrs, etc,, and also that, its inhabitants onjoy exceptionally a large unearned increment ? Could n» juster redue^ Ihoo bo* found —> say, in reducing Ministerial salaries one - third—than by docking fclio £4,200 subsidy to steam communication with febc islands? What is best to do with the many million acres of waste lands iv North Island ? Should tliey not bo turned to somo immediate profit? a3 by the introduction of email" capitalists with about- £4,000 each, tw© hundred men arriving with ai millifia of sionoy would not hurt anyono much ; or, is tho oourrtry to find hard cash to apcon-fecd an indofmlto number of fton. ,'f. Ballanoe's pets? Is it advantageous to th« working oinsses that moderate capitalists should feo discouraged in every way. from settling on land? Which of these classes of settlers i 3 tsho bese for the general public ?—the" ono wants nothing, tiio other wants everything, done for bliemv Why aro Auckland representatives,, and especially our Hon.

Female Suffrage.

(To the Editor.}

Sin,—Judging by tho largo mdjority just recorded in favour of the Women's Suffrage Bill now before Parliament, I have great hopes that that enlightened measure will shortly bo adopted. It seems almost incredible that professed Liberals and Radicate lilta Meß3rs Tole, Bracken, ; and Moss could vote against enfranchising iono half of our adult population, and I ' vestpro'ltQ-'flay novtho leastf. moral 6r cop: jßoiohtious cither. I for one shall b& proud■ ;6ppoituuit^_^ma^jHUieH,:.l ._do I* ,caq assure you that I shall not forget those gentlemen who have been So cowardly or unnjallanfe as to try and deny us tho right to have a voice in returning rep iresentatires to mako law 9 for tho govern ment of ourselves and our country. 1 should like to know Why tha Now Zealand Kadf cal Reform League arc silent upon this great question.

The Mt. Eden Rifle Range - A Word for the Volunteers.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l sco in yesterday's " Herald" Mti? Aldis has given up her attacks on tn6 above, and (hiding; there is no case, abusos the other side, insinuating that tb<o Volunteers at c no hotter than frauds, who would not face m enemy, but wsiild run away. 1 Should like to disabuse her mind of this error, it' possible; by statiug tho fact, that tho Volunteers, ns a rule, are u;en who, when smitten on one cheek, would not be likely to hold out tho otfjCr, even in times of pcaeel; ergo, they would not be likely to do so in the field. There is another phase of the question to be looked at, viz. : In the field they would bo under martial law, which docs nob allow running away. Mrs A.1* sneer at tlie pntriotis'ra ef VcUmteers is Sadly tSufe of place, for have' they not 3tafcos in the country—sweethearts, wives, sisters, ami children ?—while tlitf enemy would have left these behind in safety. To suppose Volunteers would not fight is folly, becauso tho history of all time proves the contrary, as witness tlie struggle in tho Cavenncs, between 1702 and 1704-, whon it was computed that picked troops fell, although tho insurgents never had more than 3,000 under arms at any ono'timo, ,#heni tlie're was the first American w'ai'v-vfor iiKlependenco ; the deeds 0f..-valour performed ■' by German, student .yplunteei's jn 1813^ 15; v the Vpluhteesra of Circassia, the ■Boers of Africa, etc., not forgetting our own Volunteers in the Waikato, Ta'ranaki, etc. But perhaps Jlrs A. considers our Volunteers hare dogauwatod ; if eo.ib nnißfe have been caused by their parents having such rioketty nervos as Hob to be ablo to bear the crack of a rifle a mile away,—l am, etc., J.C;S.

Sabbath Desecration.

(To tho Editor.)

Sns, '' Fbr tho causa that latiks assistance," can you inform me if there is a law for tha observance of the Lord's holy day. When going'to church last. Sunday 1 saw onoi man repairing a fowl - hous6 f another gardening, and tho fearful noistS of ''busses running tip and down the streets. If men do not chboso to regard the day of rest for their own sake, I think they ought tb do so for the sake of those who do care. If such proceedings are allowed to go on, in a very short time we will have- no Sabbath at all. It ',is enough to bring down God's just judgments upon bur land. Christian men and women.up and stem this mighty evil. —Yours, &c., H.R.A.

The ash is heavier than in ordinary wheat flours, and as this is chiefly composed of phosphates, which arc very- im portant as-bone-forming materials, it will be seen how beneficial this food will prove to children lain of opinion that this preparation will prove of great dietetic value, but to ensure its easy assimilation by thosystem itr will' re quire case in cooking, and^ will need at least thirty minutes at v. boiling temperature to attainthis result.
