SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1887.

, -«• — For tba cauae that lacks assistance. For the wrong that needs resistance, For th» future in the distance, And tho good that we can do.

The merchants of Wellington and Lyttelton are making strenuous exer tions to make the ports of those cities the distributing centres for the direct steamers. We have, however, the authority of Mr G. V. Houghton, Auckland manager for the Nw Zea land Shipping Company, for stating that there is uo intention to abandon Auckland as a port of call unless the company is forced to do so because of the Small quantities of cargo offered. On the contrary, the New Zealand Shipping Company are prepared _to have a steamer here in July if sufficient cargo in theahapeof frozen meat or gene ra! jjood3 is offered for shipment. It is also Very likely that the X.M.S. Aorangi, due to arrive at Hobart from Plymouth on the 20th instant, will come on to this poit via Wellington, making a very brief stay at that port. Mr Houghton, however, states that the port' charges here are absolutely pro hibitory, and says that it is incumbent upon the Auckland Harbour _Board, if they wish to encourage shipping, to re dnce their present scale. TFpon this subject a few comparative figures may prove instructive. In an article showing cause why the Port Chalmers Harbour Boajfl should make a move, in this direction, the " Otago Daily Times " recently published a comparative state ment of the relative port charges levied upon direct steamers at that port, Lyttelton, and Wellington. We ap pend'the list, along with the scale enforced by the Auckland Harbour Board. The estimates are all made on the steamer Doric, 3,057 tuns net register : — Pout Chalmers — X «. <l. £ a. d. l'ilota*es, Sd ;•? ton IQ-J 7 4 I'ort diaries (id do. 7fi 13 •> Towago ''<< 1-' S 20;" 15 C LytTEI.TOV — I'ilot l|4e-=«, 4d jj? ton 51 :.i S I 'orfc charges, -2.

"3 10 t> Towage, nil 11 j 2 9 Witt reference to the Auckland figures, however, it must he explained that the amounts named represent the largest sum chargeable on the Doric. On .laiuary 10th, 1886, this vessel paid in harbour dues and charges at Auck land oily £85 19s 7d, because, having I visited the port twice within six mouths, she was on the second occasion exempt from port dues amounting to £38 43 3d. Originally, the port dues were charged at the rate of 3d per ton half-yearly in one payment, half-years counting from January Ist and July Ist in each year. We understand this rulo is still iv force at southern ports. The Auckland Harbour Board, how ever, recently decided that the half years should count from voyage to voyage, so that it became possible, as in the case of the Doric, already quoted, for a steamer to make two visits to the Tjort, and pay port dues but once. In September, 1885, we find that the Done 1 paxi no pilotage (pilotage not bein<*coapulsory),and her harbour dues ! totalled wily £M 4s 10d. On March 7th the Xuapehu, 2G55 tons net register had no port dues (having made a second call witiiin six months) and no pilotage, and her only payments were, wharfage, ; .f\\ Js 3d, and removals, £22 2s (id, [ makirg a total of £33 3s 9d ; probably smallest sum ever paid for one stearr.er. On September 15, the Rua pehupaid for wharfage, two removals, pilotage (inwards only), and port i chaiges, to the amount of 14s Sd, ■ and the heaviest charges received so far were paid by the Rimntaka on Jaruary 4, as follows: —Wharfage, Os id; one removal, Os sd; pilotage inmdout, £4,8 Is Sd; port charges, £'& Is 3d; making a total of /108 3s 9d. These figures do not exhibit Auck laid charges in a very unfavourable lijht as compared with other ports. Our p«-t charge, although only half that of Danedin, is a penny a ton more than lyttelton or Wellington. That item done on the Doric's large tonnage mounts to ,£l2 12s 3d extra, and in the figures quoted by the " Times ; no nention is made of the heavy charges it Auckland for wharf removals. t is advisable for our port authorities io inquire what is the custom in the south with respect to this matter. Wellington, by low harbour dues, is 'making a big "bid for the shipping su iremacy of New Zealand, and it be uoves Auckland, which at present is fte leading shipping port of the colony, ■o fte wary lest our laurels be wrested |rom US,

NORTH AUCKLAND.

. ! IT is not often that we got a friendly j and truthful opinion of the resources of Auckland from n Wellington man. Mr Travere, in his candidature for tne j To Aro scat, has, however, done jus tice to a much-neglected district which even the citizens of Auckland very stupidly undervalue. Referring to the suitability of the land north ot Auckland for the purpose of mut culture, Mr Travers said : " If all that country were devoted to such purposes he ventured to say that not only would there be no poverty in New Zealand, but our colony would become one of the most prosperous coun tries on the face of the earth. If Aucklanders had been alive to the truth which Mr Travers endeavours to impress upon the colony, the rsortn Auckland "railway would have been among the first works pushed on under the Public Works policy. Rut many people have formed their impressions of North Auckland from the character of the country between Auckland, Eiverhead and Helens ville. They have been blindly oblivious of "the fact that between Kaipara and Ahipara, and extending from the East to the West Coast, there is a hundred miles of the finest fruit-growing land in the world—fertile valleys, genial climate, and abundance of wood and water. This country, dotted over with small farms and orchards, would be a perfect paradise. Opening up such a district, the iNorth Auckland railway would have been of very much greater value to Auck land than the trunk line to Welling ton, which pusses through an unsettled native territory. Will our representatives never awake from their apathetic condition and press for the fulfilment of the many promises that hove been made by the Government with respect to this work, which Mr. Travers justly says would ! bring prosperity not only to Auckland but the whole colony ?

I "HinponaV usual weekly contribution | of t-uif sjossip will be found on page .-even. ! \|,--sr> Phileox & Sons, the contractors i for the new (Government Life Assurance Bnilflinss. lsavn pushed on the work with such coWii.y that the structure has now i I readied tlio t-htnl story. At this rate the j [ prctiii*ee .-hould bo soon ready ior occupa lion. The: Kanio Coal Company announce the I temporary closing of their mine tor venti l;Hion works, but, hopu soon lobe able to tcsnnu; operation?. The works are Mill proceeding at the I'onsonby reservoir. Men have been en gaged to dijj away the embankment, and the uarfch has boon again spread over fclia gurtare of the .i.llntmenN whence it was excavated. Tiial xliafts have been sunk to lind the character of the underlying strata, and no doubt whatever steps arc taken in the future to replace «he embankment ami utilise the reservoir will be done with great. caution and forethought, in order to pre vent :i recurrence of the slip, and the possi bility of a still greater catastrophe, in the ! evTin'c of water being within the- reser voir at the time of such slip. 'In the face of paafc experience, and con sidering the enrfiueerinfl1 latent available, I all po=>ible coHt.'iijjencio.i should Lhis lime lie anticipated and provided for, and Inline ! -ufee«- thus bea-ured.

The attendance was not en con rasing, but there was still a fair house. The comedy was admiiably per formed, and the audience enjoyed a thorough treat. The season closes this evening, when " The M.-igisUatc " will be performed again. It is s-eldorn that, such an excellent diumat.ift combiuufcioti visits these shores, and loi this reason it is more to be regretted that the (Company in question hus not hail :t tiuiie sm.i.fsstul season in Auck land. Last evening there was an excellent at tendance of the members of the various- Band-; of Hope at the Alexandra-street School-room, for the purpose of practising the pieces to be sung afc the annual gather ing on the Queen's Birthday. Should the Veather be favourable on Friday next, it is anticipated that the' necessary number of members will be obtained at the next prac tice, so that all intending' to take part should attend Alexandra - street on that date. The attendance at tho performance of the Mammoth Minstrels in the City Hall last evening was not very good. This is unfortunate, as the pro gramme presented is very entertaining. Apparently, however, the various counter attractions are too much for the burnt cork artists. The annual business meeting of tho Bine Ribbon Army (Gospel Temperance .Mission) is to take place on Monday evening next at the V.M.C.A; Rooms. All members are i invited to be present. "A Resident of Parnell " writes:— c:I j think it but fair that something should be said in favour of our brave Fire Brigade i here. At the last lire hero (in Mannkati ' Eoad), it waa put our, very quickly, and ; everything was very smartly done under ! the leadership of their captain, not fov ! getting the valuable services of Branchman Hunter. If it h;ul not been for their prompt ness on this occasion, I believe m^iy of the shops adjoining would have been the vic tims of the flames." Wo would draw our readers' attention to i the announcement in another column of the I anniversary of a most useful institution, I which we are glad to hear is in an increas ingly flourishing condition. We refer to j the Girls.' Friendly Society, a branch of i which waa established here by Lady Jervoia at her first visit, in ISS3. There'are now ; upwards of (50 Associations and about 250 | members. The gathering is to be held in St. Matthew's Schoolroom on Thursday next, being preceded by a ?hort Venice in I the church. Tea will be on the tables at j 0.30, after which there will be a short con ! cevt of vocal and instrumental music, the | rest of the evening being devoted to conver- J .-'alien and amusement. j A very successful meeting of the Mount | Eden Baptist Braid of Hope was held last j evening in the chapel. The chair was oc ! cupied by Mr R. Grudge, who has been | unable to attend recently through indispo i sition. He gave a practical address upon j " Improve Every Opportunity." Recita ; tions, songs, &c., were very nicely rendered |by the members and friends, and several. I gave their names for membership. The I meeting closed with prayer.

The cases come on for hearing before the Rom denb Magistrate on Thursday next Poneonßy. which shows the largest number of arrears, will be taken afterwards, and next week 100 summonses are to be issiied againpt ratepayer* in that ward. In the North Ward there arc about, 30 de faulters, in Orafton about 12, and in Karau gahape about 30. The Royal Aeromantia Temple of Wonders at the Agricultural Hall was faiHy patronised last evening, the low tariff of prices probably proving more suitable to the times. The follow ino- programme was gone through : — Overture (selected), Acromantia Band : horizontal bar, Arthur, John and Henry ; dummy clown, H. Marten; topical song, " Is it Likely ?" Max Rinkle ; fire-eating act, Mdle. Follaire : American clog dance, Billy Kelly ; flying trapeze, Arthur, John, and Alfred ; song, " The Wicked Young Man," Madame 'Rinkle ; ground and "lofty tumbling, the company. Roman rin<js, Arthur, John, and Henry ; stilt dance—"The Man With the Wooden Loo-s," Max Rinkle: seriocomic song— "The Swiss Toy-girl,."' Madame Rinkle : acrobatic song and dance —"When the Moonbeams Oently Fall," Marsh Brothers: character song —" No Matter," Max Rinkle ; American sandjig, Billy Kelly ; the comic hats, Max- and Snowball. Many of t.he items were loudly applauded. Amateur photography appears now to hare become ihe order of the day. Almost e\ery oilier tourist who explores " Nature's wonderland" takes ■with him a camera, in order that he may thus preserve souvenirs ;of the places through which he has passed. At. every picnic there is hound to be one fit I least who photographs gioups of hi.s fellow pleasure-seekers! Am there is a certain amount of freedom between picnickers, it I. noh infrequently happens that groups are reproduced in positions that some of the member? afterward■» object to. Thus, for instance, perhaps si young man is rather astonished to find an excellent like ness of himself in the centre of a group with his arm thrown caressingly round the neck of a lady friend. Probably this was the thoughtless act of a moment's fun, but the results are lasting, as he subsequently dis covers when the copies are eagerly par eh.-ised by the friends of the lady and him self. At time*, owing to thesloping nature of the gronnd, picnickers are represented re clining gracefully upon each other, some limes'witL a lady's head apparently resting on the shoulder of some recently -married young man, whose wite may probably object to such proceedings. Thcrctorc, it would be well for innocent pleasure seekers to beware «>1 the amateur photographer, who goeth almiit taking permuiieiib rcpre sentatior.s «! transient actions. In explanation ot the clilatoriness of the Government in coming to a decision With respect to the Custom House tenders, we are informed that although the lowest tenders come within the architect's estimate, yet. th.il/ (taking foundations and superstructure together) they are bo yond the amount, placed on the Estimates for the work. Mr Thos. ■Thompson, M.H.R., who has taken a great deal of (.rouble with this matter, and has been nrsring the Government to come to a speedy decision, received the following telegram from the Minister of Justice on the fith ; ; ns t. • —" Tlf. Custom House tenders beyond j estimate, etc. Minister of Public Works will I await, decision of Cabinet shortly as to fur ther action.—Jos. A. Tole." Mr Thompson j telegraphed again yesterday oil the subject. "An Elector or City West, "writes -. "A man with a glass eye can see the move of the Hon. Richardson. Parliament soon will meet, and if he can stave off till then the j vote will lapse. What are our representa. ---j fives thinking about? What is the Hon. J. A. Tolu doing in Wellington ? I hope some of his constituents, who are mostly working men, will put a few questions to him when he next seeks their favour as to what he has done for the interests of Auckland. It seems, sir, that the old story is again to be told — Auckland's interests neglected. Our mem bers are asleep, or napping, while l.he ! Southern members are pulling the golden ! apples from under their nose." A movement has been set on foot to es tablish a new football club in Auckland under Association rules. Although there will be many difficulties to overcome, it is to be hoped that nil will be sur-' mounted in the interests of the lovers of this beautiful and interesting game. The starting of an Association Foot j ball Union will remove the reproach j attaching to the " brutal game," as neither '\ holding, hacking, nor tripping is allowed |in it—no ployer except the goal-keeper , being allowed to handle the ball. Al- I though the rules are simple and easily | learned, the game itself calls for great i skill, judgment and self control. Rev. J, 8. Hill, who thoroughly understands j the game has, convened a meeting at the y.M.C.A. Club Room on Friday evening ! next, when it is hoped there will be a. ! large attendance of players and others ! interested. The sen-ice of sacred ir.usic at Mr Pooley's ! Chambers to-morrow afternoon is, as will I be seen by advertisement, of the usual excel lence. Amongst the items are the ever welcome quartette from the " Elijah," " 0 come, every one that thirsteth,"and a read ing on " Music Training at Home and ! Abroad." W. Murphy is being trained for the fight with C. Taylor by Kirby, the well-known amateur boxer. Kirby, it may be re membered, seconded Murphy in several of ! his best fights in Sydney. •' Dr. Lynn, who was announced to appear at the Opera House on Monday evening! will not be able to open before Tuesday, on account of the detention of tho steamer Waivarapo. No doubt this delay will.make the public all the more anxious* to witness his wonderful feats.

IS, v. 15,_ " AnSI they broup-hb unto Him also infant^ that He should touch them." The fairly turer argued that Jesus touched the children'! more for healing than for mere blessiua Health was a blessing, without which 14 was worth little. Mothers, also, it would be remembered, brought their children tf the Saviour : they should do so now. Itwj their teaching and learning: that little ona need more now than ever in the old times. Mrs Dowie also argued that childra should be eaily instructed in the doefcrim of healing, as their faith was childlike' Those that had reached maturity shontj strive to have a simple and Implicit faith in the Father, without which faith no healing could be accomplished The Rev. Mr l>owie then addressed tht audience at some considerable length upon Revelation xxii., 1 '2. To-night a temper ance meeting will be held by M( Dowie, when he will give an address upoa " Wasted Lives and Rescuefl Lives.1' Mrs Dowie is a vice-president of the Vie rorian W.C.T.U., and vice-president of th Fit7.roy branch.

THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.

A Pungent Press Criticism. (l:V TKI.IMiKAI'n— dW COKRKSPOKDENT.) "Dunedix, this day. Mr Dobsox, of Christchurcli, in giving cv ience in Sargood's case, expressed tl opinion tliat the original drainage scliem of Mr Mirams.City Engineer, was unatUffi able one, and had lie nob boon interfere with by the City Council, ttiis [>iesentactio would not have arisen. The " Star'" contrasts Travers's evident before the Commission in 1883 with lii denunciation of Uie Midland Railway, an says, "• What dues it mean or what is meat to lead up to ? Sundry negotiations hai been going on during the vet-ess between S Julius Y'ogel and promoters of the lineman it, has been suggested that further concession be asked for upon some pretexts or other. I appears the straight line of duty for; representative U> follow, is that the bargai made betweeen the Government and M Company is already sufficiently libcra Two and a-half million acres of land is large enough concession,and whether blani may hereafter attach to the transaction mm be borne by the Government and the Cod pany, not by thecolony. The colony acted i good faith. 'The tirgivensation of Mr Travel should not induce Parliament to exter the enormous concessions already grants and unless we misunderstand thepurpfli of Mr Travers's speech this is what is it tended. The fertile plain contiguous t the Otago central line, for instance, tfqnl be a pleasing addition to the tcrrifflrt possession of the East and West Coai railway."
