A SOUTH SEA CRUISE.

The Voyage of the Buster

Mr Moss writes : Sir, —Tho interview hatweon your reporter and myself was necessarily hurried, and I had no oppor tunity of revision. 1 should like, thoroforo, to add a fow remarks by way of elucida tion. MISSIONARY INFLUENCE, Our voyage was confined to the Outskirts of the Pacific, North as well as South of the Equator, which we crossed six times since leaving Auckland. The islands wo visited are little frequented, and we were quite cut off from all news of tho rest of the world. They aro under tho chargo of native mis sionaries—that is to say, of natives taught at the schools of tho London Mission in Rarotonga or Samoa or those of the Amerioan Mission at Kusaic. Tho natural influence of these native mis sionaries is groit. Thoir system of church discipline gives them enormous additional powor, which, in the hands of half - educated and narrow - minded men, produces the effect I hnve, in fact, only half described. Their determination to put down what thoy consider " ungodliness" in tho shape of amusements of all kinds loads to results that would be laughable if they did not threaten to prove disastrous to a kindly light-hoartod pooplo. Gainoa and amuse ments are repressed «with a pious hand. Evon the Jews' harp was formally oonlia cited, while cards, draught?, dominoes, or dances are sternly forbidden, Having no literature, the Islanders aro con fined to frivolous gossip and develop a prurience of mind natural under such conditions. You will understand that these remarks apply to tho half-educated native toachors put into positions of author ity and power which thoir weak heads can not stand. Over an extent of sea between four and five thousand milos in longitude and some twelve to lifteen hundred miles in latitude, these teachers rule under inspec tion necessarily imperfect from the isolation Of the islands and the frequent difficulty in landing. At each end of this sea there aro Euro pean missionaries, but nono intoivening. At Nioui! in tho east there is the Rev. Frank Lawes, whose name (with that of his brother and predecessor, antl Mr Chalmers, both now in New Guinea) ono never hears mentioned by white man or native otherwise than with affection and re spect. In the west, the Rev, Mr Logan, of the American mission, after serving his country on the Federal side in the Civil War, is now labouring among literal savages as a true missionary of the old school— devoted to his work, and giving up ease, comfort, and all hope of advancement in its prosecution. Mr Lawes and Mr Logan are both Congregationalists. Except ing one small island, which is Roman Catholic, the Congregational Church has under its charge the whole of that por tion of the Pacific to which our voyage was godfined. TRADE MATTERS. I Reverting to other matters, I should have mentioned, in speaking of New Zealand productions, that tho jams prepared by Masefield and Co. at the Kaipara are ac quiring a high reputation for their quality and stand a fair chance of beating others out of ihe field.

I should like also to call attention to what seems to me a very important matter— the suitability of Suwarrow as a port of call between this aed Panama when the canal is opened. It would make us independent of Rapa and care less as to what France moy do with that Island. I felt so strongly tha import ance of this that I wrote to the Premier about it on the 27th November last from Swain's Island. The letter, with others that I loft there to bo forwarded, has not I find yet arrived in Now Zealand. A report on this island from a competent authority should bo obtained without delay. THE WRECK OF THE DIANA.--600 MILES IN ANT OPEN BOAT. I observe also that you Bpeak of tho wreck of the Diana, and the removal of part of her crew by the Buster, as having been already referred to in the Star. lam told the account wa3 a short notice copied from a Sydney paper, and that the rest of the crew were taken by a man-of-war from Manihiki. If so, the particulars may bo worth repeating. Manihiki is a lagoon island 600 miles from Tahiti, but it has not for many years been visited by a man of-war. We found thoro the ciptain and seven of the crew of the Swedish barque Diana, wrecked at Starbuck Island on her way from Puget Sound to Sydney with a cargo ot timber. They remained two months on Starbuck—_ little, wretched, harbourless and baro deserted guano island. The boats would only hold S out of the 12 who formed tho crew. They drew lots, and 7, with the cap tain, after a boat voyage of between fix and seven hundred mile 3 had arrived at Mani hiki the day before we got there. Our captain, Theet, promised if wind and weather permited, to take them off on our way north. Strong winds and a strong westerly current made if- a work of difficulty. A landing could not bo effected tho first day, and during tho night we were driven out of eight of the island. We made it again next day at about two but it was dark before the boat succeeded in getting off tho men. The rescue cost Captain Theet, to my knowledge, con siderable anxiety and a couple of sleepless, watchful nights. I think it right that the attention of tho Swedish Consul should be called to this. Ono reads no* a days of bo many cold-bloodod deser tions of shipwrecked men that it is pleasant to have to record a case in which the true sailor and true man has bee_ displayed. At Chrietmas Island, just as we were leav ing the shore, 1 hoard that one of Her Majesty's veasels of the North Pacific Squadron sometimes call there. I scribbled the bare facts of the wreck on the only scrap of paper available, for tho information of any of Her Msjeßty a ships that might call at Christmas Island. It was a bow drawn at a venture, but I in dulge the hope that it was not in vain, and that the man-of-war that called at Manihiki may have been the Satellite, which the traders thought would poesil ly be at Christ mas Island before the end of last year.— Yours, F. J. Moss.

GREAT BARRIER GOLD DISCOVERY.

It will be remembered that there was a very valuable discovery of gold a few months back at tho Great Barrier. One assay went to the extent of 630z to tho ton, and the others varied down to within loz to the ton. These assays were taken from quartz at different places, within a radius of about six miles, so that the field is an ex tensive one. On the find being made known to the Government, they decided to despatch Mr Gordon to view the find. Mr Jackson Palmer waited on the Hon. Mr Larnach beforo bis departure to tho Bay of lslands.and it was agreed that on Mr Larnach's return he and Mr Gordon should go down to the Barrier in the Customs steamer to visit the plaoe where the discovery was made. Mr Palmer again interviewed Mr Larnach at the Star Hotel this morning, but the Minister was unable to carry out his original intention of visit ing the Barrier, aa he is puehed for time to eet bank to Wellington. However, Mr Larnach advised Mr Palmer that a company should be got up to woik this field, and in that case there need be no fear of the Go vernment resuming the land for mining pur poses, as in such cases they do not interfere. This seems to be a very valuable find, and it is to be hoped that a company will soon be floated and start work, and thus give em ployment to some of our unemployed. J. be place where this discovery is made is close to the copper mines on tho Great Barrier,, and as the Barrier is a continuation of the Coromandel, there seems every prospect o,t it being a very likely place to yet develop into a large goldfield.

To the Editor: Sir,—l think everyone who has the welfare of the city of Auckland at heart should thank you for your able article on oppressive taxation. In the days that are past the General Government pro vided for our oharitable institutions out of the public revenue, but now, when they and our City Council have increased our taxes fifty-fold, they must needs put those on our shoulders as extras which are already carrying a burden too grievous to _c borne. Sir, I think it is high time our citizens would arouse themselves to a Bense of their duty, and hurl from power those that aro truely ruling us with a rod of iron, and teach our muddle-head rulers that if thoy wish to make us prosperous and happy it will not be by grindinp taxation.—Yours, etc., J. A. Cam.jbei.-, Richmond Road.

THE ALLEGED ARSON CASE.

Mrs Violet McPlice Before the Court.

At 11 30 o'clock to day, the hearing of tho evidence in the charge Of arson preferred against Mrs V iolct Kate McPhee was com menced in tho Resident Magistrate's Court-room, before Mr H. G. Seth Smith, R.M. The accused was duly charged with having wilfully and mali ciously set firo to cortain premises in Victoria-street en tho 26th March last, the said houso being tho property of Mr John James, with intent to defraud. Mr Hugh Campboll appeared on behalf of the Norwich Union Insurance Comjl.ny, and conducted tho prosecution, Messrs Cotter and Brassey appearing for the ac cused,

The Court wasjordered for 10.30, and four justices wore summoned to attend. Only one, howevor, put in an appearance. In consequence of this dereliction of duty on the part of " the groat unpaid, the Court was compelled to wait until 11 30, when His Worship was roloased from attendance at tho Supremo Court, and enabled to take his seat on tho Bench. On the application of Mr Cottor the accused was allowed to take a scat.

Mr Campbell, iii opening, said that owing to His Worship's experience it would bo un necessary for himtospeakatany length. Thb fire had occurred about3o'clock on tho morn ing of Saturday, tho 2Gth of March. Tho accused occupied half of a two-story doublo house in a thickly populated portion of Victoria - street West. Ho then shortly reviewed the evidence which ho proposed to adduce. Ho would show that there wa9 fire in both tho lower and uppor rooms of tho houso, although there was evidently no connection. Ho contended that thoro was evidence that thoßO four fires had not originated acci dentally, and alao that there was evidence of a motive in tho fact that tho furni turo and effects wero insured in tho Norwich Onion Company for £125. Mrs McPheo had asked for £200, but only effected tho amount already mentioned. There was also another suspicious fact that whon tho agent visited the houso ho was Shown a largo box, which was said to Con tain £25 worth of goods. A few days before tho firo this box was removed to tho house of a Mrs Wells, to bo taken care of. After the lire this box was found; to contain £25worth of goods,andthe furniture in tho house at the timo of liro had been valued at £46. T.iese facts, he thought, would show that the fire was not acciden tal, but had been designedly started. Detective John Mitchell Walker deposed to knowing the accused, Mrs McPhee, and also her residence in Victoria-street West. He remembered the fire on the mbrning of the 26ch of March last. He had prepared a plan of the house (plan produced.) It was a correct plan of the ground floor and upper storey. Witness had been a surveyor. He arrived at the fire at 330 a.m., and entered tho house by the front door. He examined tha front Bitting room, and found traces of fire at the window facing the right-of-way. It had burnt up the scrim and the paper was burned and scorched right up the ceiling. There was a safe under the window. Tho American cloth covering the sofa had been burned for a distance ot four feet from the foot to the head. The oilcloth on the floor was also burned about three inches by four, as marked on the plan. Ho also found tho remains of a network cur tain strewn about. At the ioßide of tho door opening into tho kitchen there wero also traces of fire. The oilcloth was burned around tho spot. There was kerseno about It had gone through the oilcloth to tho floor. Near the dining-room lire placo there were traces of lire on the hearth-rug. Tho floor and tho end of the hia th-rugwere also burned and the bottom was burned out of the cano bottomed chairs, [Witness hero produced tho hearth rug ] There was koro sone oil upon both onds ot tho hearth rug. It was eaturated through. The kerosono could bo observed on tho under side. There was no connection whatever between tho fire at tho middle and that at the window. A table also stood in the middlo of tho room. The tablecloth was slightly burned. It had koroeeno upon it. The leg and top of the table was also a little burned. [Tho tablecloth pro duced.] The cloth still smeliod of keroseno. Witness also found a piece of tho window curtain lying on tho sofa Thero was also kerosone on tho floor where the leg of the table stood. Witness also produced the oilcloth with tho nolo burned through where tho table stood. He also produced tho oilcloth takon from I eneath the two chairs, which had tho bottom burned out. It had kerosene upon it. Tho keroseno had soaked through the floor. The oil-cloth was not burned between the two tiros. Witness also examined the bedroom upstairs. He found that tho spring mattress of tho bed had been on tiro all along one side. Tho bed was situated at tho back of tho door in the centre of tho room The floor was also burned near the foot of the bed. Tho Chinese matting, about three feet by two, was burned away and the floor charred. There were a feithor mattress, five pillows, blankets, and counterpane on tho bed. They were all partly burned. All the bed-clothes seemed to be tmrned on the one edge, same as tho epriDg mattrc-se. There was no connection botwoen iho firo in the bedroom and thoce in the sitting room directly benoath. The ceiling of the lower room was boarded, and had stopped the tiro completely. Wit ness also found a candlestick, in which there was no candle. The lining under the spring mattress was burned nearly ncross to the far side. Ono spot underneath tha mattress was more charred than any other place, as if a small flame hod been concentrated upon it. The spring mattress was stuffed with the leaves dropped from tho pino trues (pine noedles.) Tho edges were stuffed with flax, The accused's residence was part of a doublo house, and three feet from this houso was that of Mr Bailey. There was also another house beyond Mr Bailey's, and a small cottage at the back near the yard. Witness arrested Mrs McPhee about 6 30 or 7 o'clock tho same morning. Since then the police had been in charge of the pre mises. They were now in the same state as they were when Mrs McPhee was arrested. On the same day witness received a box from Mrs Wells, in Albert Park, Witness had the contents of the box and the furniture of the house valued by Frank Tom of Victoria-street. Witness made the list produced from his valuation. It waß made on the 28th of March. No one waa present on behalf of Mrs McPhee, neither hod she any notice. The value of the furni ture was £46 2s. The contents of tho box were estimated to be worth £23 7s lOd. Cross-examined by Mr Cotter : Witnesa arrived at the firo about twenty minutes after the boll rang. V* itness saw Mrs Mc- Phee and Miss Woolner sitting in the kitchen. Mrs McPhee and her little girl were in their drosses. Miss Woolner had a white dresß on. Mrs MePhee Beemed very quiet. She answered him a few questions. She said that she could not account for tho origin of tho fire. Sho did not de cline to furnith any information The sit ting-room and the bedroom were the most exposed of any rooms in the houße. That was thoy could be tho most easily seen into. There were no Venetian blinds, but there appeared to have been calico blinds. A fire jstarted in the kitchen could not have been seen until it got through tho roof. Tho roof of the lean-to waß corrugated iron. There was a drop of a few feet to reach it. The roof waa not very steep, and was eight foet from the ground. Mrs McPhee had told him that ho had been using the kero sene to clean tho oilcloth and the furniture. Ho thought vinegar and sweet oil would do better. It was possible that in trying to extinguish the fire at the middle door sparks might have been spread over tho remainder of the room.

Left sitting.

Mr Herbert Bernard, the newly-appointed organist at St. Patrick's Cathedral, offici ated for the fir3t time yesterday morning, and created a very favourable impression. Mr Bernard is not a professional musician, though threb yeurs ago he was organist at a cathedral in Jamaica. Sinco that tiuie, however, he has had no oppor tunity of touching tho organ, and this want of practice was to some extent evident yesterday, the choir and the organ, especially at the commencement of the mass, not being always in accord. Considering that Mr Bernard has had to assume the position be now occupies at a very few days' notice, that the choir has also only just been taken in hand by a new conductor (Mr Hiscocks), the success achieved yesterday, though not un qualified, was gratifying and satisfactory. There was unmistakable evidence that the now organist possesees true musical taste and talent, and there is little doubt that in a few weeks the musical portion of the ser vices at St. Patrick's will become once more attractive. Before thiß can be achieved, however, the choir will have to be very materially strengthened. The mass yesterday was Farmer's, in B Flat. As an offertory Mr Bernard played a communion in G by Guilmant, and at the close of the service he played the Hallelujah from Beethoven's " Mount of Olives."

LATE CABLES.

(special messaoe )

Banquet to Colonial Delegates.

London, April 2.—Tha dolegates to tho Imperial Conference wore entertained this evening at a banquet by the members of tho Foderation Loagua, tho Hon. Mr Stan hope presiding.

Lord Roseberry said, judging by the spirit displayed at the informal gathering of the members of iho Conforonce and the tone which marked thoir speeches, the Con ference waS certain to bo n success.

Among the speakers was Lord Charlds Boressord, who said that the preeorva' tion of the strength and security of tko Capo of Good Hope was necessary in the interestof England and Australia; it was, in his opinion, a moro vital point of tho Empire than the Suer Canal. ITe eulogised Commander Thomas, of tho Victorian Navy,

Mr Stanhope, in proposing tho health of tho guests of tho ovening, said that one mooting of the delegates Would do moro towards a settlement of tho difficulties bo twoon tho Mothor Country and her Colonies, than years of correspondence. Sir S. S. Griffiths and Sir F. D. Bell re sponded on behalf of the dolegateß. Mr Downer, in proposing tho hoalth of tho Chairman, gavo that gentleman great credit for soiziug the most opportune moment to hold tho Conforonce. Ho ro mindod tho Company that the Conference owed its oxistonco to Mr Stanhopo's uction when Secretary ol tho Colonies.

Mr Doakin, who spoko in tho absence of Mr Loriuner, made tho speech of the even ing in proposing ** The Army, Navy and Civil Service of tho Kmpiro." He said that tho NuVy was the backbone of Imperial federation.

„Tho Uuke of Cambridgo, commenting on tho loyalty of the colonies towards England, remarked that it waß nocossary to keep their attention fixed on themattor of defence. Tho colonies had settlor! that tho Confer ence shall consider tho Now Hebridos ond bow Guinea questions, and tho deportation of recidiviatos.

Tho infusion of Liborals in the Cabinot waa a gredt advantage. He ridiculed tho idoa that ho resigned through personal ambition.

The prosocution of Mr Dillon, M.P., and others have beon abandoned. Australian Defences- It is announced that a work on " Aus tralian Defenco, and the Settlement of New Guinea," compiled from the papers of Sir Peter Scratcbley will shortly be pub lished.

Copper. An advauce in copper, is expected as the the stock on hand is rapidly decreasing.

A PROPOSED NEW CEMETERY OBJECTED TO.

Mr J, L, Tole, on bohalf of the Roman Catholic body, notifies that they purpose forming a cemetery on a part of Ruganvillo Estate, Mount Albert. As this is within a mile and a-half of tho Western Springs. pumping stations, the Mayor with com mendable promptitudo communicatod with the Colonial Secretary, pointing out tho danger that might possibly result from do positing bodies in proximity to the source of tho water supply and also stating that is was undesirable to have a numbor of cemeteries scattered about tho country, moro espe cially when tho City had at considerable exporionco made umplo provision for burials. Attention was also drawn to the fact that tho Chairman of the Mount Albert Road Board had already applied to have an existing ceme tery closed. Attoution was also drawn to soction 48 of tho Act of 1882, whfch stipulates that no now ceme tery shall be opened without the sanction by tho Colonial Secretary and it was requested that such sunction should not be givon until oh inquiry had boon made aud fuller information received. In tho event of tho Colonial Secretary's consent having already beon given, it was suggested that it should bo withdrawn, pending further inquiry.

"Scene" on the Lady Jocelyn

Some excitement was caused on the ship Lady Jocelyn yesterday by the mutinous conduct of one of the hands, who sought to redress his sup posed grievance by Ihe use of the knife. The man in question, whose name is Thomas litirns, made several attempts to enter the saloon, but was prevented by the steward. He then tinned himself with a knife and made another attempt to got into tho saloon, but was proventod with some dilHculty by Iho steward and the captain. Burns was then given into custody, ami was charged at the Police Court to-day with an assault upon Henry Kirke, steward of the vessel. Mr IJcvorc appeared for the prosecution, and described the ollenoc as one of a serious nature. Henry Kirks, steward of the Lady .locclvn, said the accused canio to the door of the saloon yesterday. He said ho wanted money from tho captain, and declared thiit hi- would remain in the saloon till he got it. Witness said he would not. and after a short scutllc prevented him. Subsequently prisoner came back with a knife, und witness tried lo prevent him from getting into the saloon. He nourished the knife, and said lie was going to have it out with them. The captain came down at the time, and they held the man to prevent him from doing anything with tho knife. Ho had the blade of the knife in his hand, and while thoy were struggling with him, a sailor came along and drew the knife out of his hand, thereby cutting it somewhat severely. Accused had threatened to kill witness on the way hack to England. Captain Watt described the con duct of tho prisoner as cowardly, lie had throated to do for both the steward and second ofllccr on the way home. His conduct as a rulo had been very good hitherto. Tho Bench sentenced the accused lo two months' Imprison ment with hard labour.

SPLENDID RESULTS FROM THAMES ORE.

Walht Uuartz reaUzos £50 per Ton at Home

By tho 'FriBCO mail which arrived on Saturday tho directors of tho Union mine at Waihi re" coived intelligence of a character calculated to send a thrill ot gratified excitement throughout Auckland and tho Thames. It is nothing more nor less than information from Mr Browning to the effect that he had sold to :t Gorman firm, at the rate of -13 5s per ton, the 10 tons 9cwt. liqrs. 21bs. of ore recently taken home hy him from the directors of the Union Mine for treatment by improved processes. It seems that on arrival home lie had the ore assayed in several parcels by Johnson, Matthcy & Co., and that it was then put up to public auction, the German firm in question beingthe highest bidders. The assay tcstin England allowed the total value to bo nearly £50 per ton, leaving about £01.1s per ton us profit to the purchasers, and to cover the cost of treat ment. The assay results per ton were :—gold 9-500 ozs; silver 5i'900 ozs; nnd the sample as stated was sold for £713 2s 6d. Prom this there is to he deducted the expenses of tho shipment and assay, amounting in all to £S8 17s. lOd, the largest items being £37 17s for freight and £22 13b Id for crushing, thus leaving for tho Company the handsome balance of £021 Is Bd. The sample sent Home, and several tons more, were taken out of a parcel of about 300 tons from the upper level. The bulk realised an average of loz per ton at the battery, nnd aa the tailings are believed to be valuable, they havo been carefully saved for future treatment. These results at home not only demonstrate the great auriferous and argentiferous value of Wailii quartz in particular and ot Thames quartz generally, but also furnish conclusive proof of tho inutility ot the processes of extraotson at present in vogue. Nothing more was required to reassure tho public mind as to the extraordinary richness of our goldlields, and to emphasise the claims of those interested upon Government encourage ment and help. Everything tends to confirm tho belief that the Thames, and consequently Auck land, is on the eve of a fresh mining boom of which the entire colony will feel tho immoaiato benellt Moreover, the test to which we have drawn attention must have attracted the notice of English copitalists and mining experts, and shou'd lead to the diversion or considerable English capital to this Colony for investment in flic mining industries. . In connection with tnis subject it may be men tioned that for some timo tho Newbery Vautin process of chloronisation has excited a great deal of notice on tho Thames, and in order to test the patentees' claims regarding it, Mr Henry M. Shepherd who is a director of, and largo shareholder of the Roscmont mine, ivaini. and also a director and shareholder of tho Union mine, was despatched to Australia with a few tons of ore from the Union Company, and thislbe will have reduced by Mr Newbury at Mel bourne. Thence he proceeds to Ballaratt, Mount Morgan (Queensland), and other places where the system is at work, and upon his report dependß whether or not tho New bury system will be adopted here. Ihe cost, say, at Waihi, would not exceed £150 for a plant to treat SO tons per week. It is. alleged that by this process, ore is treated within 2 per cent of the Are assay. Mr Shepherd is expected back about six weeks or two months hence. After this one may expect to hear of redoubled activity at Waihi, and notably at the Union, Rosemont, Marthu, and Silverton mines.

The demand for the great American remedy, Hop Bitters, in this part of the world lias bo come so great that the Hop Bitters Co., whose Headquarters are at Rochester, New York, US.A., have beon compelled to open a laboratory in Melbourne. It is iv charge of Mr ?,f H.
