While turning in the bay she unfortunately ran ashore, close to Morland's boat-house, on a ledge of rocks that runs out'a' considerable distance. The engines were at '.once' reversed, biit the vessel remained fast, and it was not until the assistance of t\ro tugs, which were helped by the rising tide, had been secured that the Richmond got afloat again; So far as could be seen'at the tivne no damage was done, and the Richmond then proceeded downtheharbourfor atrial of her machinery The result is said to have been very satis factory The Richmond returned to Berry's Bay, where she was anchored. At the invitation of one of. the owners, Mr A B Donald, a number; of gentlemen had'as sembled on board, and these were enter tained to luncheon. 'Success to the Richmond was heartily drunk, and several

other toasts were honoured, the proceedings throughout being interesting and agreeable. During the evening a diver was sent; down to examine the ship's bottom, and liis report was thab beyond the paint being scraped off she was uninjured." Description of the Steamer. The Richmond is a smart-looking steamer* of 628 tons register. She was built in. 1885 under special survey, and classed 100 Al at Lloyds for both hull and machinery. Her dimensions are : Length, 178 ft; beam, 27ft Gin. ; depth of hold 10ft. 6in.' She is rigged as a two masted schooner. Her modoi is as full as possible consistent with permitting a good rate of speod and the steamer has consequently a large carrying capacity of light draught. She is fitted withfour bulkheads, all carried to the main deck, and, generally speaking, is very strongly built. The Richmond is far in ad vance of the Janet Nicoll in these and every other respects. Her cargo carrying space is well arranged and well ventilated, and the passenger accommodation is almost on a par with that of the Union Company's steamer?. The cabin is fitted for first-class passengers, with sofas round tho stern and stern lockers, litted so that they can be utilised for bed berths, a mirror at . each wing aft, and large washsfcand, with a mahogany top to form a table at oach side. The saloon is fitted up and decorated in a handsome manner. The panelling is of jalousie and maplo in nice design. The dining tables extend tho whole length of tho saloon, and provide sitting accommodation for 32 persons. Tho ladies cabin is situated oft' the saloon,and is fitted with saloon berths and eight revolving chairs. Lavatories, bath-rooms, etc., aro situated in approved positions. Tho cabins are well fitted out and have each a Smith's patent lavatory, and tho ventilation generally is excellent. Over the saloon there is a social hall handsomely fitted up, with a piano and the surroundings in keeping with well executed artistic work in the panelling. The Richmond is also supplied with Sir William Thompson's patent compass and patentelectricbells. The accommodation for steerage passenger is also good and well adapted for warm latiltides. Tho pantry is on deck, and so aro the officer's cabins. The Richmond is fitted with a pair of compound inverted cylinders, and surface condensing steam engines and boilers, and is , capable of at taining a high rate 'of speed. She is capable of carrying 850 tons general cargo and her average steaming on tho trip just completed was about 10 knots. From Sydney to Newcastle she recorded 1 H knots, and consequently may be expected to con siderably reduce tho time previously occu pied on the South Sea trip.

MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1887.

♦ For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, . For the future in the' distance, ; And the good that we can do.

When men of "all sorts and condi tions" are cudgelling their brains in search of remedies for the depression, it is cheering to learn from a well informed authority, whose letter is published to-day, that there is in Great Britain a revival of interest in mining enterprises. New Zealand failed to take full advantage of the last stir of this kind, and left Queens land to reap the harvest. The expo sure of various illegitimate ventures emanating from that colony was the means of shaking confidence in this class of investment. Unfortunately, the New Zealand mines worked by English capital have not, as a rule, « turned out profitable; and this is the ] more to be regretted because there i are many valuable areas that might i be worked with advantage to inves- i tors and to the colony. Steps are, we ! believe, being taken now to bring some < of these projects under the notice of • English capitalists, and we heartily ' wish them success. , ■: But there is also a duty devolving - upon the Government in connection ' with this matter. In no way can a i revival of prosperity be brought about '. more quickly than by an increase an < the output of gold, This is the one Wew 1 Zealand produef) that has not depreci i ated, nor is it likely to denreelate, Itj J 8 j

steadily increasing in value. Now, we feel convinced that it is within the power of the Government, by the con struction of a few tracks at Coromandel, to" increase very considerably the num ber of people permanently employed upon that goldfield, and to add to the wealth of the colony. The County Council have to some extent been aided from the Goldfields vote in the execution of such works, but not nearly enough to enable them to open up properly the large auriferous territory which is under their juris diction. Coromandel is a poor man's field. Hundreds of miners working in a small way have made good wages for years past. The hills are thickly permeated by rich auriferous veins. When the field was under the control of the old Provincial Government, it was the invariable experience that every new track led to the open ing up of a number of claims which turned out a good many nice little pots of gold that gave a lilip to the whole field. These resources are not exhausted—the field is little more than scratched. Unless mining experts, are at sea, there is a mint of money in those hills, only waiting the enterpris ing explorer to bring it forth from its place of concealment. What is true of Coromandel 13 also true of the Thames. The thou sands thrown into the yawning mouth of the great pump shaft were well meant, but much of that expendi ture has been a mistake. The hills should be opened up by accessible tracks, which will en able the miner, with some chance of success, to search the hid den recesses of the' dense scrub covered country. The field has only been thoroughly prospected in one part, and, as we know from the results obtained even on that limited area, the miner may turn back disheartened and unsuccessful when within a few yards of the prize, leaving others to reap the reward that is properly due to his labours. JFor the Upper Thames, the problem to be solved is one'principally of im proved gold-saving appliances, and in this the Government may render great assistance. We are glad to learn that new roascing machinery for Te Aroha arrived by the mail steamer, and will be forwarded there at once. Now is the time to turn all the resources of the country to the best account. They are numerous and valuable, and only want energy and capital to develop them. For f a country so richly endowed as this is with every element of agricultural arjd mineral wealth to be crying out about depression and want of openings for capital and labour, is an anomaly that reflects badly upon the system of government which has brought about such a state of things;

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE.

The records of the Telegraph Depart ment show that New Zealand is far in advance of the other Australasian Colonies as regards that convenience of modern business—the telephone. There are in the colony at the present time 2,058 telephones,' as against 1,016 in Victoria, about 200 in New South Wales, and a small number in Queensland and South Australia. Our rates of subscription are lower than those of any other country in ■ the world, save Switzerland, where the subscription is £8 for the first year, as against in New Zealand, while in other countries the charges range from £16 to ;£25 per year. The total capital cost of plant and instruments in the colony is and the net profit of the exchanges during the last financial year, after deducing working expenses and allowance for de preciation, was about The profits in Auckland alone amounted to ;£1,500 for the year. These facts simplyfurnish another demonstration of the advantages of cheapness, and the Government should now consider whether they cannot make further con cessions to customers, more especially with a view of increasing the number af attachments to private residences. The lesson of this telephone expe rience should also be taken to heart by other than the Postal and Telegraph Departments. The Eailway Depart ment ought to weigh it well. Here we have a clear case of low rates command ing custom. The i same results have attended the improvement of the sys tem of "delayed" telegrams. ■ If- New i Zealand has set the world an example of th>e triumphs of cheapness with re gard to* telephones, may she not like wise do £o in the management of rail ways and £ther branches of the public service 1

THE SUNDAY LAW IN SYDNEY.

The action of Sir Henry Parkes in ordering the closing of Sydney theatres open for lectures and entertainments on Sundays has caused quite a hubbub in the capital of New South Wales. It seems that the Premier's attention was called by a deputation of clergymen to the infringement of the law, and he ,at once issued art order suspending the Kcenses of the different theatres. The. illegality complained of consisted in the deiivery of Freethoiight lectures, for although several secular concerts are held in Sydney every Sunday no class of the community seems to object to them. The battle between the Sydney Freethinkers and the religious coramu ;nity has raged intermittently for many , ■yeare, and &a recently as last year a : petition with 9,289 signatures was pre- ( sented to the Assembly, praying toe , House to amend the law so that the j opening of "theatres on Sundays should < bo " ftbsolutejy prohibited," on the , ground that tiw.l'reethought meetings ( held Jα theia injured fcbe feelingf of <
