LATE SHIPPING.

.'THE RICHMOND'S CRUISE. ■ ' The B.s. Richmond arrived from South Sea Islands at 11 a.m. We are indebted to Mr Latchmore, purser, for the following report of the vayage : The Richmond left Auckland on Friday, Bth July, at 11 a.m., on her first trip to the South Sea Islands. She arrived at Tonga after a very quick passage on the 13th instant, discharged cargo and left on the 15th for Samoa, arriving there on Sunday evening, at 6 o'clock. After discharging a large quantity of cargo, left pn Tuesday, 19th, for Papeete, which port was reached on the 26th ult. Discharged live stock and cargo, and steamed round to Papara and Viaiao on the 29th. After taking in large cargo of limejuice, oranges and cocoanuts, left for Rarotonga on August Ist at 6.30 a.m., arriving at same on the 4th. Took in balance of cargo consisting of cotton, coffee, and bananas, and left same day for Auckland at 6 o'clock p.m. En countered strong south-west winds for the first four days, which increased on the 9th to a very heavy gale from the south-west with tremendous sea, in which the vessel behaved admirably, ship ping little or no water, and suffering no damage whatsoever. There being no sign of the gale abating, and fearing the possi bility of running short of coal before reach ing Auckland, the captain decided to make for Sunday Island for shelter and firewood, which was reached on Thursday evening, the 11th instant, at 8 o'clock. Mr Bell, who with his family has resided, upon the island for over eight years, in formed us that during the whole of that time he had never experienced such a heavy gale. On account of the heavy surf" and bad weather found great difficulty in loading the firewood, and it was not until Tuesday, the 16th inst., that the Richmond was able to continue her way towards Auckland. The New Zealand Government s.s. Stella, upon official busi ness, arrived at Sunday Island before the Richmond left, and we are much indebted to the kindness of Capt. Fairehild for a supply of coal. The steamer left Sunday Island at 6 o'clock p.m. on the 16th inst., experienced strong easterly winds and fine weather all the way, arriving at Auck land on the 19th at 11 a.m. after a very quick passage of sixty-five hours. Passengers : Rev. Mr A. Pearse, Mrs Pearse and two children, Teina, Avife and child, Napari and wife, Ono and wife, Ka and wife, Messrs Valentine, Delbruck, A. B. Donald, C. A. Edenborough, 0.

Prince Bismarck is further reported to have declared that Germany will maintain a similar attitude with re gard to Servia and Egypt—leaving Austria at full liberty to deal with the former question, and not interfering in any way with the solution of th e Egyptian difficulty by England.

THE PROFESSOR AND HIS WIFE.

The domestic troubles of the elderly Pro fessor Davis and his wife engaged the attention of the justices at the Police Court again to-day. Robert Davis is well-known as a professor of the noble art of self-de fence, and despite his years, he courage ously took unto himself a wife two years ago, come next Sunday, as the lady put it to the Bench. The charges against him to-day comprised a catalogue of offences, including cruel treat ment, and the kicking, biting, and striking of his wife. Mrs Davis deposed that her husband had beaten her repeatedly. Last Saturday he was worse than ever, and struck her, knocked her down, kicked her and bit her shoulder. He also twisted her arms behind her to show her how the policeman put their prisoners in the cells. He also compassionately told her that he would not throw vit riol over her but would tear her eyes out. A neighbour corroborated some of this evidence, but the professor denied the charge, and called his son, a lad of fifteen, who gave his stepmother credit for being drunk and beating his father with a candle stick. ■ His father was sober, and only said " Don't love." Mr Davis also asserted that his wife was addicted to drink and quarrel some. The Bench considered there were faults on both sides and dismissed the case.

PRESENTATION OF UNI VERSITY DIPLOMAS.

Another Sweet Girl Graduate

As we go to press, the ceremony incidental to the presentation of B.A. diplomas to Miss Margaret Annabella Coleman and Mr James Morrison French is proceeding at the Choral Hall. Bishop Cowie acts for the Chancellor of the University (Sir James Hector), and there are also present on the 'platform the professors of the University, tho Registrar (Dr. Kidd), Sir G. M. O'Rorke, and other mem bers of the University College Council, as well as members of the Education Board and Grammar School Board, and an army of graduates. There was also a good attendance of the friends of education in the body of the hall. The Chairman (Bishop Cowie) m open in" the proceedings said: —"! have been requested, by the Chancellor ot the University of New Zealand, to pre sent a Bachelor of Arts diploma to each ot the Auckland Graduates oa whom that decree was conferred by tho Senate at ° his last annual meeting. I take this opportunity of referring to the honour that Her Majesty the Queen has recently bestowed on our Chancellor, in recognition of his great scientific at tainments, by advancing him to the dignity of a Knight of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. Many members of the University will I believe think with me that an order of knighthood is itself dis figured by having on its roll the names of men so distinguished as Sir James Hector, and that the action of the Crown in selecting such recipients for its honours is itself an ampicium mehons am. The same honour was recently con ferred by . Her Majesty on another member of our Senate, whom I am grieved to speak of to-day as the late Sir Julius Yon Haast. The University of New Zealand, and the colony in general, have derived much advantage from the labours of that eminent geologist. The Auckland recipients of a University diploma on the present occasion are only two in number. This fact will, I fear, be somewhat disappointing to many of our citizens who are watching with interest the progress of the highest education ot the, colony ; but tlie disappointment may be lessened by our remembering that many are benefited by tho teach ing of our University Colleges, who who for various reasons do not proceed to tho final degree examination. At the present time there are thirty-four under graduates (including eight ladies) re ceiving instruction at our Auckland University College, so that wo may expect a larger number of diplomas to be presented in succeeding years. Ihe mention of our lady students reminds me that it is ten years since a B.A. diploma was first presented to an Auck land graduate in this Hall. The reci pient on that occasion was Miss Edger, the first lady who obtained an arts decree in a University of the British Empire. Since 1807 other universities have in this matter followed the example of the University of New Zealand, The University of Canterbury at present allowslady students to be examined, but not to receive degress ; but the latter privilege can scarcely be any longer withheld, now that a lady, Miss Agnata Ramsay, has been placed in a division by herself at the head of the Classical Tripos of the present year. I desire to take this opportunity of calling the attention of the community to a very important alteration that was made by the University Senate at its last session in the matriculation examina tion, to bo passed by all who would be admitted as undergraduates of the Univer sity. In order that none may be deterred from entering on a course of University study by their ignorance of tho classical languages, it has been enacted that there shall no _ longer be separate matriculation examinations for Arts and Science, and that neither Greek nor Latin shall be required for either of them, the compulsory subjects for both alike being Eng lish Arithmetic, Algebra, and Euclid. Latin .is still a compulsory subject, of course, for the degree of Bachelor of Art 3; and at Matriculation Greek or Latin is to count for any two of the other non-compul sory subjects. Sir G. Maurice O'Rorke, Prof. Brown, and Prof. Posnett are also to deliver ad dresses.

T i T (-rf Auckland, Juno 14,1887. John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sii^ —Itjiasbeenon my mind for; some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge. Meal. I believe you are aware I have suflered. considerably from injury to thestomach from t Aa-tasting, and having consulted my medic a1 adviser, he strongly recommended Porn Ige for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge MeaL I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea san-aiess, sourness of the stomach, and pimples an> i spots, with irritation, on the surface of the bc/dy. From this I was glad to getaway, and a i once took to your Patent Porridge Meal With it I find none of the irregularilies com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such a/n excedent article.—Yours very truly FREDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School,. Kohimarama, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir,—We nave now been using your Patent .Porridge Meal at this school for two months aarid I consider it but right to Inform you thai v,'c all (staff as well a8 boys) like it so well thai X would find it a difficult matter to get them to ~-eturn to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt ia splendid article of diet. I may add on mj {representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Pob { ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal,'l received .authority from Rev.

Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that cou'd be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once and afterwards nothing would satisfy nim'but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for mm, and seeing it being prepared cned until he got it He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you success,—l remain, yours, &C,., irTrx (Signed) W. CARDER.
