ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

(from ettt coßfcfcspoifDEirt;.)

LoKdom, September 2& The Hufclies-Mallett Scandal- TfiS fdftfr that a social sc&fidal of aeintf* larly shocking character had overwhelmed the much-respected Seltryn family was whispered abwit hi the House df Commons aa long ago as tfriday weeL It wM hoped, to U Cotoel sSaaftgSS Ittl to eeduoiDß her, w «w* d .fflontbs-

The ihtrigtife was discovered ftt Ellinghain Hall by Mi* Henry Smith, who eangfhb the culprits inflagrante delicto, and there and then turned. Colonel Hallett out of doors. Mi' Smith ill-naturedly made no secret of the faote, evert goifig 80 for , as to telegraph to Mrs Hughes Hallett, " Your husband is a villain. I have turned him out of my house." Naturally, in a few hours all Norfolk rang with the scandal. Ife was scarcely to be expected that a story of this description would long escape the enterprising Mr Stead. Frantic en deavours were made to induce him to spare the Selwyn family publicity, but without result. On Tuesday evening , , the "Pall Mall " dished Up its new scandal, making the mistake, however, of calling Miss Selwyn the Colonel's step-daughter. This, of course, she is not, though her brother declare! 3 she used habitually to call him "father," The Colonel strenuously denies the malversation of Miss Selwyn's money, oi l fchafc lie induced her to make a will in his favour, though the story he tells of her wan tin £ higher interest for £5,000, and asking him to get it for her, seems to be generally disbelieved. Upon the money being demanded by Miss Selwyn's solici tors f it waaf ltnrrtediately refunded. Mrs Hughes-Hallett has condoned the Colonel's offence , , so there will be) ho divorce case. Sir Walter Bttller's Book.

Sir Walter Builer has every reason to feel satisfied with the response of the scien tific world to his prospectus of the sumptu ous netf edition of "The Birds of New Zealand." Despite the costly nature of the work (which is being issued in twelve parts afc one guinea and a half each, or fifteen guineas for the whole), it has been freely subscribed. Tlio first and second parts are already out, and fully justify the author's promises. Anything more ex quisite than the coloured plates I have seldem seeth Both from a soiefttific and artistic point of view they are perfect. Sir Walter's long list of subscribers in cludes the names of all the great public libraries froiri the Bodleian at Oxford down wards, and also ©f most private collectors suoh as the Earl of Derby and other noble men, and of Dr. Jex Blake, of Rugby. Sir Walter himself is in town again, and busy pushing the interests of the Antimony Com pany" vfibh which he is connected. Heath of an Old (New Zealand) Identity. The death is announced at an advanced age of Mr Alfred Denison, who made a fortune sheep-farming in New Zealand dur ing the earlier days ot the colony. He was also well-known in New South Wales, where be held the position of Secretary to Me brilliant brother, Sir W. Denison, during the latter's Governor-Generalship. Aftor i*eturning to England he divided hia time between London and Scotland, where he , was well-known as a fisherman on the Tweed and other waters. Mr Denison, who died a bachelor, leaves considerable property in New Zealand in land and stocks, though the former, 'tie understood, was not held in his name. He was a great lover of jewellery, and often ■wore ornaments -worth thousands of pounds on his person. In disposition he wad somewhat short-tompored, and ho never mixed with Anglo-colonists. A'ew Zealand Cheese The annbunoenient that a further en deavour in to be made to push the sale of Ne\f Zealand dairy produce in England seems to have roused a spirit of opposition. The "Standard" declares that there is really no opening for a new supply of choose, and that frozen butter has hitherto in variably proved a failure. Wo all know how pessimifltie the " Standard " invariably becomes when New Zealand affairs are under consideration. Still, I fear, it must be admitted the agricultural editor has for once truth on hie side. The butter sent overfrotn New Zealand, if not absolutely bad, arrived in questionable condition, and the cheese (though good of its kind) did not realise a sufficiently substantial profit to re pay the shipper. Shipments would no doubt occasionally pay, but it is extremely improbable they* would do so regularly. On the whole I expect the losses would swamp the profits, or else the latter prove so small as to render " the game not worth the candle."

German Annexation of Samoa. The answer given by Sir James Fergus son to Dr. Tanner, re tho alleged German annexation of Samoa, prior to the rising of Parliament, was the reverse of reassuring If it means any thine it means that the Germans are to be allowed to humbug ue out of Samoa just as tho French have prac tically humbugged ils out of the Hebrides. It may, however, be that Sic Jamea did not care to give Dr. Tanner a curt answer. Aβ usual the Irishman put his question most offensively, and more as ah insult than with any real desire to ascertain facts. X New Lifeboat for the Australian liners.

A new invention.the importance of which to ocean travellers can scarcely be over rated, has recently been patented, find will (if proved workable) be at once added to the Orient steamers. It is an unsinkable lifeboat. This new boat is by no means beautiful to look at, consisting as it does of a barge ■ like hull lying very low in the water, and surmounted by a canvas bulwark which can be set up or collapsed at pleasure. The hull is made unsinkable by being divided into 60 watertight compartments. The main feature of the boat, however, on which tho patentees mostly rely, is its small depth, 14 inches with tho bulwarks collapsed, which thus enables 4 boats to be ewung on one set of davits, which at pre sent only hold one ordinary lifeboat. Ihis is no doubt a great consideration in these days, -when the unavoidable inadequacy of the boat accommodation of our large vessels is so constantly being brought under notice. Ib is claimed that under the proposed new arrangements, not only would a vessel carry sufficient boats for the whole of her passen gers and crew, but once filled' and uhslung each boat could be rendered safe, absolutely Bftfe, by the putting up of the canvas bulwarks, which could be immediately done by the most inexperienced passenger. The boat shown is 26 feet lon£, 7 feet across, and 14 inches deepj but With 36 men on board and her bulwark up, showed a free board of considerably over two feet. There is amnio seating accommodation for 40 nersons, which, on a pinch, could no doubt b6 extended to 60. So far as could be seen, she could be managod easily enough in spite of the difficulty found by the rowers in doing their work, in consequence of the lowness of the seats atid the height of the Btauchions in which the rowlocks aro fixed* but how she would behave in ft heavy eea* way remains to be seen. Bow at Lillie Bridge.

The in-and-out form which Hutohene, the self-styled champion, displayed in Aus tralia has hob enhanced his popularity With English epotfcemen, and may have had a good deal to do with the violence displayed by the duped sightseers at Lillie Bridge last Monday evening. On this occasion, however, Htitohene does not seem to have beeft in fault. Hβ was matched to fun a hundred and twenty yards level for £100 aside against Gent, t«e hitherto unbeaten Yorkshire wonder. 3?he contest excited keefl interest, and upwards of 7,000 persons fcaid & shilling at the Lillie Bridge ground turn-stiles to witness it, Bookmaker were numerous in the reserved enclosure, and for an hour or so before the time fixed for the event there was heavy wagering. Getit (opened favourite, 2 to 1 being laid on him, which presently in creased to 5 to 2 and 3 to 1. Suddenly, however, a change came over the ring. Backers tit Blutchene became more and tnftre ntiniafouJly while Gent* supporters tailed off. The twd 'nwn appeared on the ground at s*l6»when Gent won th 6 toss, Ind they then retired to dress, or rather, w aaarces, Mtdtdiataly opposition te

Gent broke- out fiercely. All sorts of wagers were offered on' Hutchens till at leiigth the current cry became *' 10 to 1 against Gent." Soon after six the news was put quietly about that both Hutchens and Gent had lefb the ground, and that for some reason or another there would be no race. The duped crowd were naturally furious. A rubh towards the Stands fol lowed, and then occurred the riot and wreckage and free fight described specially elsewhere. It seems Gent's heaviest supporters ware dissatisfied with his condition, and rather than risk their bets resolved to pay forfeit and .stop the race. Whitehead Was of course furious, but could do nothing, and fearing the danger of the mob when they found them selves deceived left the ground! Personal aisd General. Messrs Barney Thompson and Harry Haines, the weli-known Australian book makers, bade farewell to their friends afc the Victoria Club on Saturday. They sail for JVlelbourne_ by the Messageries Maritinaes steamer this week. Colonel Barnard—well-known in Mel bourne as a professional turfite—is bringing an action for libel damages (£20*000) against Mr E. Benzon, "the Jubilee plunger." The circumstances leading to the charge occurred, it is understood, whilst Mr Benzon was in Australia. Lord Aylesbury contemplates wintering in the colonies. His Lordship has not suc ceeded in satisfying the Jockey Club Stewards re the strange running of Everifct at York. His enemies aver that when he discovered Mr Benzon's determination to back his horse he commissioned Messrs "Alf" Searle and "Billy" Shee to lay against it. These gentlemen were called upon to produce their settling books, which proved rather damning evidence. That charming young Auckland actress, Miss Maggie Knight, has indeed "come on " in her profession during the last five years. Looking in at the Vaudeville Theatre the Other evening, I found her to my intense surprise playing the heroine of "Held by the Enemy," vice Miss Kate Rouke, indispoaed. ( Mias Knight acted the trying role with immense spirit, and was several times called before the curtain in company with Mr Chas. Warner. The sea voyage home has benefited Miss Knight's health materially, but she is so pleased with her reception that ehe may stay for some little time.

Sir John Goreb will sail for New Zealand early in Novembei*. Hβ has been ordefed a long sea voyage by hie medical men, and will in consequence patronise the Cape route. Lord Salisbury would, it is well known, like to shelve Sir John if possible, and that worthy himfielf ie understood to be quite willing to accept a colonial vice royalty. How would you like him at Go vernment House, Wellington ? Sir Chas. Pilke may also revisit the colonies shortly. He is busy upon a revised edition of " Greater Britain." Mre Campbell Praed has returned from Royat very little better. Her friends re commend tt visit to Australia. In Mi Louis Vignon's "Algeria and Tunis" an interesting comparison is , in etituted between Algeria a_nd New Zealand. The articles on Australia and New Zea land Which have been appearing in " St. James's Gazette" will be republished im mediately in book form* Opinion differs as to whether Mr Gisborn* or Mr Inglis ie the author. One of the latest and beet of those articles is a description of the working of the " Eight Hours a Day " movement in the colonies, which has been widely copied by trade organs all over England. New Zcalandors will also be sorry to hear of tho death of poor Alice May in a hospital at St. Louis. She had been in bad health for some time, but finally succumbed to con gestion of the brain. Tho " Tall Mall Gazette's " special inter viewer started off on an interviewing tour of the world last Saturday. His instruc tions arc-to <u do" Canada, the States, Japan, China, India, etc., and his letters will appear simultaneously in a number of English provincial papers and the Mel bourne "Argus" or "Age" as well ac in tho "PallMttll Gazette." The gentleman in question is, I am told, the sprightly Charles Morley, whoso. " interview " with Tawhaio, you may remember, Caused con siderable amusement. The first idea was to send the great Stead himself, but 'twas felt he could not be spared. Your old friend Maine. Rieton'g autobio graphy appears in ffronch this week. lam told her Australian experiences are , fully dealt with. A half-a-crown edition of F.W. L. Adams's " Australian Eeeays " has just made its ap pearance on the book-stalls. Fred Maccabe Bails for Australia by the Orient steamer Garonne to-day. Ho looks too ill to bo able to do very much in the en tertaining line. Sampson Low and Co. announce a work on "The Native Flowers of New Zealand," illustrated, by Mis Charles Hetley (I think of Auckland), whose flower studies were So much admired afc the Indian and Colonial Exhibition.

The same firm have in preparation " Our New Zealand Cousins" by Hon. James Inglis ("Maori.") Mr, Mrs and Miss Colbeck are booked to return to Auckland by the P. and 0. Massilia sailing from London on the 21st of next month. The Eev. E. H. Cook also sails by this vessel for Auckland. Capb and Mrs Ashley have gone into the. country for a few weeks, and are stopping at the' Hall, Bushey, Herts. An appreciative memoir of the late Sir Julius Yon Haast, evidently from the pen of an old friend»appeared in the " British Aus tralasian " of September 15. "Vanity Fair' of the same date Contains a poor caricature of the "member for Australia," Mr Henniker Heabon. The artisc makes "our Henniker" a short stout man with a fat belly ; whereas " the dear fellow" is tall and slim, not to say lanky. Aa for tfje p—b—,ltie a horrid libel. What Henniker lackal in waist however he up in cheek—" colonial independence" liis admirers call it. , The Oceana. the third 6f the addition's which the P. and O. Company are making to their Auetralian fleet, was launched from Harland and Wolffs, yard at Belfast on Saturday. She* is 483 feet long with a beam of 52' feet, and will register, like the Victoria and Britannia* 7,000 tons. A curious M.P. asked the Government) the Other day how the P. arid 0. Company would in case of a war or war-scare be able to efficiently carry out the , mail contracts" for which we pay fiuch heavy subsidies. Ac cording to present arrangements, all their best boats would at onoe be monopolised by the Government for armed cruisers. The fourth and last of the P. and 0. Company's new steamers, the Arcadia , , will be launched next month. Both the Ocean and Arcadia are guaranteed to steam an average of 17 knots an hour, and should make the run out td Adelaide well within 30 days. The cad news' of the death of Mr W. S. Pulford, of Auckland, reached his English friends and relatives on Monday last., Mr George Cruickshank Pulford, who is at pre sent staying with Hie family at Dover, was much shocked and grievedtand expresses deep sympathy with the widow and sons of the deceased. Mr George Masgrove has gone to America with the express purpose of interviewing Mrs Langfry, and inducing that fair lady to adhere to her Australian contracts. 1 Mr James Thompson,who signalised him self as the first lieutenant of the never-to be-forgOtten Bosieto during the " Colindies " season, has returned to London to tout for the Melbourne Centennial Show. The Royal Navy is,now. open to cadets from Australia amd NeSv Zealand. Whether colonists will largely avail themselves of the privilege remain* td' Kβ seen".
