THE RICHMOND.

A special mee'jing of the Seamen's Union was held last evsninjj to consider the action of the owners of the s.s. Richmond in em ploying Kanaka labour on that vessel. A statement was made to the efl'ect that concessions had been made to Messrs Donald and Edenborough in the running of the Janeb Nicoll, bub these did not appear-to have been satisfactory. The concessions were said to have been, made by working overtime for which no payment was claimed. After a lengthy dis cussion it was resol.ved that in future no concessions be made to the owners of the Richmond. The Richmond is ex pected to leave for Soufcli Sea Islands to morrow.

TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1887.

The results of the labours of the Ke" presentation Commission are now before us in detail, and they suggest many curious inquiries. The Com missioners have availed themselves of the 750 margin- allowed by law in a manner that is as unsatisfactory as it is puzzling. The average for the colony, which was taken as the basis of the town representation, was found to be 7,085, and it was the duty of the Commissioners to mark off the new electorates so as to approxi mate as near that figure as possible. It is very curious, then, that in mark ing off the adjacent electorates of New ton and Ponsonby, the population of the former should have been settled at G.3IS and of the latter at 7,832, making the difference between the two 1,514 persons. There is nothing that we are aware of eitherin the character of the population or the location of these districts that should have pre vented a more equal division, unless the Commissioners are of .opinion that area, is represented and not men. All the Auckland city electorates ex cept Newton range considerably above the average. If we take the seven principal seats collectively they total 51,289, or an average of 7,321, while the average for the four Christclmrch city seats is only 6,813. The margin of 750 allowed to the Commissioners, which really gave them a play of 1,500, was, we think, much wider than was necessary or desirable. They might, in the exercise of the prerogative thus con ferred upon them, have given Auckland another member. The minimum for town constituencies was 6,335, and if we were to divide the seven city seats into eight equal divi sions we should get an average of 6,411. Of course they were bound, in making their adjustments, to keep in view the limit of 91 members and to get compact boundaries, and possibly they have reasons for the course they have pursued which we are not aware of ; never theless it is hard to conjecture why some of the boundaries were adopted. The inclusion of the town, of Devonport in Waite raata was an unwise arrangement if it could fairly have been avoided. Strong dissatisfaction with regard to some of the readjustments, we observe, is being expressed in Wellington. The alteration in boundaries, how ever, is not of such a nature as to cause any change in of the decla rations of candidates for parti cular seats. City East has been pretty well chopped up, and is hardly recognisable in Auckland Central, but still Sir George Grey will stand for the constituency with the new name instead of attacking City North, which takes so large a slice out of his old territory. The latter constituency, by the addition made to it, may probably be ranked now as the most Conserva tive of the Auckland seats, as it includes all the leading business premises. Auckland Central, by re cruiting itself out of Karangahape, obtains a larger share of the popular vote than was contained in the district it displaces. The changes in Eden may perhaps cause Mr Tole to consider "whether he belongs properly to the electors of Newton or to those who still register under the old title. Inother respects, however, we presume the candidates who are announced will make their electoral arrangements conformable to the re-adjtisted bound aries of the seats for which they are already announced, and will now being the fight in earnest.

FRANCE AND ITALY IN EGYPT.

Victor Hugo's dictum that "The French are Italians—the Italians are French," seems likely to be put to a rather severe test. The old irritation between these two great branches of the Latin race has broken out afresh over the Egyptian question—tho im mediate cause of annoyance being the declaration of the Italian Minister of

the Interior, made the other day in the Parliament at Some, that English and Italian interests in Egypt were iden tical. France has always been preter naturally " touchy " on the subject of Egypt, and her statesmen and people have therefore been quick to recognise in Signor Crispi's speech a note of defiance as a sort of counterblast to the crowing of the Gallic cock against the continued occupation of Egypt by England. In spite of the utmost endeavours of France to stir up opposition among the natives, Italy firmly holds her position at Masso'wah, on the Bed Sea. Signor Crispi's speech almost amounted to an announcement that an Anglo- Italian alliance had been formed with re gard to Egypt, without French interests being in any way consulted. Hence it comes that the French Ambassador at Kome has lodged a protest against the Italian Minister's tone, and has given a plain hint that; if France is slighted she may be compelled to assert herself. Italy has a splendid navy, and an efficient army, so it is likely that France will find the task of " asserting herself" a somewhat arduous one. The Egyptian question is in a very critical position at the present time. Englnnd has declined to allow the Porte an ex tension of the time for ratifying the recent Convention, and the Sultan's advisers must decide promptly between the friendship of England and the proffered alliance of France. Little doubt can be felt as to the decision ; but after the Convention is rati fied, what then ? Will France and Russia carry out their threats by throwing bodies of troops into Asia Minor, and will such action lead to a declaration of war by Turkey ? France is in the fighting mood, but we scarcely think she will enter on such a useless and Quixotic adventure as a war in Syria, in revenge for being shut out of Egypt. If, however, Russia is ready to make a simultaneous advance, on Bulgaria and Erzeroum. the expected war may be precipitated, and France, by reason of her Russian alliance, may be dragged into it. The development of events will be watched with the keenest interest.

The Industrial Exhibition was crowded on Saturday night, when Mr Townsend's capital band and tlie electric added to the attractions. During the week the children of the various public schools will be admitted free, to-morrow morning those of Wellesley-street being the favoured ones, and in. the afternoon those of Ponsonby. A series of lectures are also to be given, commencing, perhaps to-morrow- night. It is a pity that something cannot be done to cleanse the interesting, but most un savoury, gigantic egg in the glass case (the first one laid by a bird of the ostrich per suasion in New Zealand);. the odour was bad enough before the egg was blown, but now it is perhaps worse. ■ We are>glad >to find that the price of admission lias been re duced by half, which will no doubt greatly add to the use as well as financial success of the show. The inquest into tbe death of the man Samuel Switzer resulted in a', verdict of " Found drowned, without any marks of violence, and ■ that there was no evidence to show how he came in, the water." . The evidence was in accordance with the facts previously published in the Star ; but it was further elicited that deceased had lately come from Whangarei, and though appearing quite sane had spoken about people " following :, him, The regular monthly meeting of Lodge Ara, 348, I.C. was held last night, after which the Grand Lodge of the Irish Constitution met. _At the conclu sion of the business, Bro. D. P. Evans, W.M. of Lodge Ara, requested P.G.M. Pierce to make a presentation to Bro. A. S. Russell, who had retired from the office of Secretary ; after a number of years service. The presentation, which was duly made, took the form of a handsomely framed photographic shield of the past Masters and Officers of Lodge Ara, com prising eighteen in number. Bro. Russell thanked the brethren for their presentation in a neat speech. John Bartholemen Thackabury, who was charged with drunkenness at the Police Court to-day, had 93 previous convictions for that offence against him, and has spent, nearly twelve years in gaol. Another meeting of the Auckland Royal Irish Rifles was held last night at the Drill shed in one of the ante-rooms, when there was a good attendance. Lieutenant Patter son presided. Lieutenant-Colonel Mahon and Lieutenant Leahy were also present. The most important business was the elec tion of a captain for the company. After some consideration, Mr W. C. Walker, (of the firm of King, Walker and Co.) was un animously chosen to fill that position. The 35 stands of arms forwarded by the Govern ment were then served out, and as this was not sufficient, it was stated that the balance of the men would be supplied next Friday night. The new company will turn out at the next parade of No. 3 Battalion. It may not be generally known that the late Mr C. 0. Davis was called after the Irish patriot, Oliver Bond. Mr Oliver Bond was tried by special commission sit ting in the Court-house, Green-street, Dublin, for high treason, on the 24th July, 1795. ' He was an eminent woollen draper, of Bridge-street, in that city. He was defended by the celebrated John Philpot Curran in a speech of marvellous ability. Mr Bond was one of the United Irishmen, who, maddened and stung- to the quick at the gross injustice and tyranny that then obtained in Ireland, joined that con federacy. He was not, however, guilty of any overt act of rebellion, which would have entitled the jury to find him guilty of treason. This, however, they did. It was said he died of apoplexy in prison, but there is good reason to suspect that he was murdered. Mr'C. O. Davis, like Mr Bond, was an enemy to injustice and a friend to the oppressed. ]

The half-yearly meeting of the Auckland Lodge, U.A.0.D., was held in the. Club room, Park Hotel, last evening, 'Arch Druid Bro. Philip Foster in the chair. After the usual routine business had been transacted, the election of officers for the ensuing six months took place, with the following result:—A.D.-, Bro. Woods; V.A.D., Bro. May; Secretary, Bro. E. Mace; Minute Secretary, P.A. Bro. W. Jennings ; Treasurer, D.P. Bro. A. Kidd ; A.B's., Bros. Louis Bycrofb and Bilson; V.A.B's., Bros. Walpole and ■ Quigley; 1.G., Bro. Mirfin; 0.G., Bro. Farranfc; medical : officer, Dr. Coom. The officers were installed by P. A. Bro. Jennings, assisted by P. A. Bro. Stratliearn. The balance-sheet; read and adopted, showed the Lodge to be steadily progressing, there being acreditba!anceofL2l2, which amount does not include the Sick and Funeral Fund. After the installation, P. A. Bro. J. Flannagan -was presented with a hand somely framed R A. diploma, for services rendered to the Lodge. There were a num ber of visiting brethren present from the Ponsonby anilvanhOQ Lodges during the Qyem'ng. ;
