THE

Otago Daily TimesFRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1873.

Whateveramountof justifiablegroundthe WellingtonIndependent may havehad for its severe strictures upon thevery unceremonious manner in whichMr Vogel put Mr O'Rorke out ofoffice, and assumed the duties andresponsibilities of the '• Commissionerof Immigration" himself, there are few,if any, of those who read our yester-day's telegram, but would rejoiceheartily that the thing was done,even though they may have beencompelled to disapprove of themanner of accomplishing it. Abso-lutely free passages, with money ad-vances to enable emigrants toreach theseveral ports of embarkation, is surelya most liberal and highly desirable ar-

rangement. Bufc the question willnaturally occur, why was it delayedtill after Mr Yogel's personal assump-tion of the office of Commissioner 1Indeed, how came it about that in-structions to a very similar effect weresent home some time ago, but beforathe Agent-General could well act uponthem, they were countermanded, andothers substituted ? Those were thedays when almost eveiy member of theCabinet in turn tried, his hand at cor-responding with the Agent-General,and instructing him in the correctmethod of discharging his dutiesin selecting and shipping of emi-grants. If our memory serves usrightthis very matter of free passages wasauthorised by one Minister and an-nulled by another, much, doubtless, tothe confusion and annoyance of DrFeatherston. Now that Mr Yogelhas seen fit himself to step into MrO'Rorke's shoes, and assume theposition of responsible political headof the Department, if any oneof his colleagues now presumes towrite the Agent-General — well, allwe can say is that we should like to seethe document forwarded, and hear MrVogel express his sense of the serviceperformed. This will be oneresult forwhich Dr Featherston, should hecontinue in office, will have cause to bedevoutly thankful. The correspon-dence will in future assume the form—" From the Commissioner of Im-migration to the Agent-General,"and "From the Agent-General tothe Commissioner ot Immigration,"and thus the constant receipt of allmanner of communications, complaints,and instructions upon all manner ofsubjects, from all manner of people,will be put a stop to, and Dr Feather-ston will be protected from the annoy-ance of being " stung to death bymosquitoes," or " kicked to death bycripples." We have said " should he con-tinue in office"; and we now ask,Will hedo sol Ofcourse in the meantime we can-not tell; but till we havehi3reply to thefamous " suppressed despatch " of DrPollen, we consider it very problem-atical indeed, and unless we are greatlymistaken, Mr Yogel thinks so too.Could this uncertainty have had anyinfluence upon Mr Yogel in the coursehe has thought fit to adopt? Here,again, we cannot tell, for Mr Yogel is" a man of mystery." In fact, he isin his degree a Providence, as his waysare " inscrutable." You may guess atwhat is intended by this or that little" development " of his many schemes ;by the "putting down of one and theputting up of another" of his manypuppets ; but you may go no furtherthan guess. If you want to "know,"there is nothing else for it but to—wait.

Have our readers forgotten the ru-mour—the oneuncontradicted rumour—about Mr Yogel's " going home im-mediately after the session ?" If not,will they try to descry or divine anypossible connection between this "goinghome" process and recent changes ? Wehave on previous occasions alluded towhat appeared to us to be Mr Vogel's

growing desire to use the bulk of hiscolleagues as mere heads of departmentswith voting power in Parliament. Buthaving himself become the Minis-terial Head of the ImmigrationDepartment, he is in a moreindependent position still. Havingonce " set his house in order"—as it isevident from our telegrams he hasdone, and well done, too—he has inMr C. E. Haughton a remarkablygood non-ministerial locum ienens here.And so the course is clear for a hometrip, without the prospect of anytroublesome interference with his de-partment on the part of his colleagues.Once at home, should therebe any diffi-culties in the way of bringingabout theconsummation so devoutly to be wishedfor as regards the little matter of"20,000 immigrants in the next sixmonths," or the chartering of the " twofine steamers . . so as to bring outimmigrants in time for nextharvest,"surely ;they would all vanish, as somany others have done, before the influ-ence of Mr Vogel's untiring energyand dogged perseverance, armed withthe authority of Ministerial head of thedepartment. There are other advan-tages that would probably accrue, fromthepresenceofthe Commissioner of Im-migration in London. Should DrFeathekston remain and need addi-tional authority for the employment ofextraordinary means under extraordi-nary circumstances, that authority willbe at hand. And, should he decide toreturn, why Mr Vogel can himselfoccupy his place just as.long as circum-stances may require, and he shouldhimself think fit to do so. How longthat might bo it would indeed be diffi-cult to form even so much as aguess. But to enable those of ourreaders who may feel disposed to exer-cise their ingenuity on the point, wewill reprint an extract from anEnglishpaper, reproduced by us a little timeago. The paper in which it appearedis one that may be fairly expected tohavereliable grounds for its statement.We allude to the Jewish Chronicle,which in its issue of the 28 th ofJune last, informs its readers that"it is stated that Mr Vogel,at present Prime Minister of NewZealand, will shortly resign, andthat Mr Stafford will be asked toform a Ministry. Mr Vogel, it is said,is about to proceed to England, and itis understood that he is to be made aknight." Now, viewed in the light ofthis singular extract, it is certainly asomewhat peculiar coincidence that,during the whole of last session, Mi-Stafford should have so persistentlyrefused to form or head an " Opposi-tion." We do not for a moment believethat Mr Stafford was knowingly aparty to any little arrangement of thecharacter hinted at. Still it is justwithin the bounds of possibility thatastute management may so have mani-pulated the intervening influences andgo-between individuals as to leave thecourse clearly open for bringing aboutsuch aneventhereafter. But we havegone far enough into this region of purespeculation ; and, as in higher and

more important matters, we must becontent to wait. In the meantime, weheartily rejoice in the much needed lifeand. vigour that have at last been in-fused into the Department of Immigra-tion, and desire the greatest possiblesuccess for the measures proposed to beadopted.

His Honour Mr Justice Richmond hasrecently delivered a judgmentat Nelsonin a case of some interest to ownersofstock. The particulars of the case as setforth by the contending parties are notbefore us, but the leading points are re-lated in the remarks of the learnedJudge. Certain sheephad been mort-gaged by Mr S. Pike to Mr Edwards,the defendant in the ease, and by deedthe mortgagor bound himself to keepbranded with a particularbrand, not onlythe sheep which he had assigned, andwhich were all specified in the scheduleto the deed, but all the sheep that mightduring the continuance of the securitybe depasturing on his station. Theplaintiffs, Messrs Thomas, had alsomade advances to Mr Pike upon thesecurity of his sheep, and it becamea questionwhether they were entitledtomake up their number from the un-branded stock, leavingMr Edwards withall the sheep branded with his brand,which, however, fell short of his propernumber. The learned Judge held thatunder the deed it was the duty of MrPike to brand all the sheep on his runwith the brand mentioned in the deed,and, he went on to say, " what is agreedto be done, equity considers, as betweenthe parties, for many purposes, to be ac-tually done. If branded, the sheepwouldhave* fallen within the parcels of MrEdwards's mortgage. When he tookpossession he was, in my opinion,entitledto deal with the unbranded sheepexactlyas if Mr PiKe had done what he con-tracted to do, viz., had branded themwith the T brand." Referring generallyto the case, Mr J\istice Richmond madethe following observations when deliver-ing his judgment :—"It is one of themany cases in which parties have at-tempted to deal with interests in. sheepin the same way as with interests in land,losing sight of the distinction, which nolegislationcan obliterate, between move-able and immoveable property, and seek-ing to defineseparate interestsin oneandthe same flock of sheep, as if the pro-perty were something separable by metesand bounds. I must againtake occasionto express a hope that the Courts in NewZealand have nearly seen thelast of thosemost unsatisfactory instruments calledagreements for sheep on terms. Theparties should only understandthat thesevirtually amount to bills of exchangepayable in sheep insteadof inmoney,andcreatenothing like a specific security."

How is it that nothingdefinite or autho-ritative has yet been announced by theProvincial Government respecting theirdecision in matters of the two appoint-ments for which they invited applicationto be made. In response to the invita-tions given, very largenumbers of personssent in their written applications ; butthough three weeks have now elapsedsince the time expired for theapplicationsto be sent in, the many applicants areleft by the Government in ignorance ofthe decisions arrived at. As regards theappointmentof an EmigrationAgent forthe Province, it is true it was permittedto leak o\it that it was likely a certaingentlemanwho was named would get theappointment; but beyond that nothinghas transpired. The otherappointmentforwhich persons were invited to apply wasthatof acting onbehalf of theGovernmenthithesettlementof such disputes thatmayfrom time to time arise between thevarious District Road Boards and theowners of property in the districts. Ofthe decision of the Government in thismatter, nothing whatever has been al-lowed to transpire. We hear there is agood deal of dissatisfaction felt on thishead among the applicants for both ap-pointments—and very naturally so too.We have apretty shrewd guess that bothappointmentsvrere definitelysettled evenbefore the appearanceof the last numberof the Gazette ; and we thereforethink iowould have beenbut commoncourtesyonthe part of the Government to have ad-ministered the coup de grace to the stilllingeringhopes of the many unsuccessfulaspirantsfor office by a short notice inthatpublication —which, by the way, isone of the very cases inwhich its pagesmaybe turnedto any useful account.

The ease, apeed, and altogether satisfac-tory way in which the members of theCity Council disposed of the severalitems contained in the different reportsbrought up at their Wednesday's meet-ing, must have convinced them, upon thefirst trial even, of the wisdom of thecourse they took inadopting the sugges-tionwe threw out about passing the re-ports clause by clause. We are inclinedsomewhat to sympathise with Mr Barnesin his oppositionto theparticular recom-mendation of the Reserves Committee asto the appointmentof a skiLled gardener,at a salaryof £150 per annum. For theCorporationto needa '" skilled gardener"onewouldnaturallysuppose that theyhada "garden" to employ him in. This,however, is not the case. They have, in-deed, a reserve specially set apart fora garden, but they recently decidedthat they could not afford to makeit, nor even to fence it in, at thepresent time. So, unless they intendthis skilled gardener to try his handon the very prolific and highly orna-mental boulders in the old BotanicalGardens, they have really no placewhatever, havingthe slightestpretensionsto a garden, in which to employ him.It was said, indeed, that he would behandyto plant trees in the reserves, andlook after them when planted ; and nodoubt he would. Bat if this be all, thenwe quite agree with Or. Barnes, thatthe servicesof a skilled gardener, might,for some time to come, be done without.The putting in of a few gum trees, andfencing themround by wayof protection,might surelybe done, if not, as suggestedby Cr. Barnes, by any of the v ordinaryCorporation day men," certainlyby theoccasional employment of a handy manaccustomed to such work, without the ex-penditure of £150 of City rates for thesalary of a permanent officer. The treesonce in and fenced round, it would bepart of the ordinary duties of the Rangerto look after their preservation. If theCity is to have a garden, ltt i b by allmeans have a gardener, but if not, itseems to us we can well do without.

Okr of the most important items of newsfrom England is contained in the an-nouncement that, in the event of theLiberals being defeated at Taunton, MrGladstone will, in all probability, appealto the country. We were fully preparedto hear that Parliament would be dis-solved in the early part of next year, butif there be any foundationfor the rumourcontained in the telegram, there can beno doubt that Mr Gladstone has arrivedat this' determination because he is awarethata series of Liberal defeatswithinthenext few month*would lead to a Conser

vatH'e majority at the general electionnext year. As it is, he can scarcely ex-pect the constituencies, even at the pre-sent time, to return enough Liberals togive him a working majority in the Houseof Commons. The people, although nottired of Mr Gladstone, are evidently dis-satisfied with his Cabinet, and recentMinisterial changes have not tended, toincrease public confidence in it. Thetranslation of Mr Lowe to the HomeSecretaryship, and the acceptance by MrGladstone of the Chancellorship of theExchequer, were not steps in therightdirection. Mr Lowe'speculiar tempera-ment unfits him for an office which,above all others in the Cabinet,requires good temper, nice judgment,and. a pleasing address, qualificationswhich MrLowe does not possess ; whileMr Gladstone's move is tantamount toan admission on his part that he coiildfind no one competent to fill Mr Lowe'sshoes as head of the Treasury. Whilethings are looking so bad for the presentMinistry. Mr Disraeli has given themwhat he no doubtintended to be a part-ing kick. His letter could not wellhavebeen made public, unless fromsome partymotive, and its appearance, no doubt,will be regarded by many as the indica-tion of a coming Conservative triumph.In the event of the Liberals being in aminority after the elections,Lord Derbywill naturallybe the new Premier. Hepossesses not only the confidence of theConservatives, but of aconsiderable sec-tion of theLiberals ; andif he can succeedin excluding from his Cabinet the oldTory element, and take for his advisersmen of liberalviews, theDerby adminis-tration, if formed, might look forward to& long reign of office.

The demand for female servants appearsto be overwhelming, for, in addition to theDover Castle's immigrantsbeing engaged in

|one day, the whole of the females by theOtago were yesterday employed, at highrates, within one hour, and a large numberbad to content themselves with makingearly application for immigrants by theLady Jocelyn, which is now almost due.The wages given yesterday to housemaidsand generalservants range from £30 to £35

annum, while cooks received £40. Somefarm servants and shepherds were alsoengagedat goodwages.

During the last few weeks that portion ofCrawford street between the old jetty andRattray street has been converted into amanure dep6t by some lazy, graceless indi-viduals. The Inspectorof Nuisances has atlast taken action in the matter, and twooffenders were brought up before the Magis-trate yesterday. One of them, who pleadedguilty to having deposited a quantity ofrotten onions and oranges, w&s fined 20sand costs. It is to be hoped thiswill serveas a warning to those who have had theimpudenceto shoot the vilestrubbish upon athoroughfare in theverycentre of thecity.

A number of cabmen were fined yester-day for blocking up the thoroughfare inPrinces street, in front of the Queen'sTheatre towards the close of the perform-ance. Those cabbies, however, who couldprove that they were engaged by persons inthe Theatre were let off scot-free. In thecase of one of the cabmen, namedColbourne,the Inspectorof Nuisances said that he didnot intend to press the charge, as it wasrather doubtful whetherhe had backed upto the footpath on the night in question.Accepting a suggestion made by a gentle-man of the long robe who happened to be inCourt, cabby jauntily asked for his ex>

penses. The worthy Inspectorappearedtobe alarmed at this demand, and intimatedthat he wouldproceed with the case. Hedid so, and the Magistrate fired Mr Col-bourne 10s with costs. Next timethis par-ticular cabmanwill doubtlessseethe wisdomof " lettingwell alone."

A8 an instance of therapidity with whichland in Dunedin and its suburbs is increas-ing invalue, we understand that one sectionat St. Leonards brought at the sale of thattownship in May last, was resold yesterdayat a profit of £50.

It havingbeen rumoured that it is doubt-ful whether the insurance upon the screwsteam collier, Fidela, which was lost nearthe Cape of Good Hope some months ago,would be paid, we have authorityfor statingthat the totalamount of the insurance uponthe vessel, £28,000, was promptly paid bythe authorities in London, when the circum-stances of her loss became known.

We are glad to hear that the litigationarisingout of the recent sale of the MasonicHall has been amicably settledby a compro-mise, which should be looked upon as fortu.nate for all parties.

The adjourned meetingof theRowing Clubwas heldat the Athenaeum last night, MrS.Muir being in the chair. The minutts ofthe last meeting were read and confirmed,and thereport of the Sub-committeereceived.After a discussion upon the question of boat-sheds, &c, the election of officers for the ensuing year was proceeded with, resulting inthe election of Mr Boddington as Captain ;MrS. N. Muir, Secretary andTreasurer ; andMessrsM'Donald, F. Muir, Franekeiss, Fen-wick, a'sd Cook as the ManagingCommittee.The offices of president and vice-presidentwere left vacant until theroll is filled up.The code of rules was thenbrought before

The num-ber of the Club wa3 limitedto 30 members,one of the rules prescribing that "it shalbe lawful for any member of the Club atany time to dispose of his share withthe sanction of the Committee." A num-ber of honorary members were added to theroll, and with a vote of thanks to the Chairthe meeting separated, the ManagingCom-mittee being requested to meet at the Rat-tray street jetty to-day at a quarter past5 o'clock, to inspect the proposedsite for theboat sheds.

A " horsey speculation," and one whichno doubt, will be successful,has engagedthe attention of Mr Richard Simmons,who Las just brought over from Tasma-nia in the barque India, a fine stock ofdraught horses. They are thirty-live innumber— including three stallions, twocarb,and one blood, and a pairof Shetlandponies.Unfortunately, a cartsire"Thumper," whichwas consideredone of thebest in the Colo-nies, and for which Mr Simmonspaid £800

when purchasing it in Victoriafor his ownuse, d.ed on the passage. The remainderhavebeen landed in splendid condition, and arenow comfortably quartered at the RoyalGeorge and Nunn's stables, where they havebeen inspected and criticised by hundreds ofpersons. They comprise isome excellentbrood mares, both Lincoln and Clydesdale.This is the third batch imported by MrSimmons,and they will be sold by auctionat the Provincial Yards on Saturday.

In our issue of Wednesday, we publishedan interestingaccount of the latest feat inAmerican journalism—the production o£ adaily illustratedpaper. Mr Moody, of theLondon Hotel, has since favoured us with acopy of the NewYork Daily Graphic, whichfully justifies the praise bestowed in thearticle referred to. The paper consists of 12pages of larger size than those of theLondon Graphic, and contains not onlynumerous finely executed,but also a large amount of news and originalarticlesupon current topics. The drawingscombine the features of the London comicweeklies, with the characteristics of themore dignified family illustrated papers.The Daily Graphic is undoubtedly a marvelof journalistic skill and enterprise.

Referring to the proposed pigeon matchbetween five gentlemen from the Dunstandistrictand five from Danedin, the TuapekaTimes says that when the news reached theDunstan that the Dunedin men would notput in an appearance, great indignationwasfeltby those who were to take part in thematch. Among many other hard sayings,the Times asserts that the only reasons thatcould have deterredthe Dunedin men fromvisiting Lawrence was their fear of defeat,and theirexpectation ofbeing mulcted in theexpenses of the match.

We have to acknowledgereceipt of Doug-las Jerrold'sserenade, " Good Night Love !GoodNight !" set to music by Mr FrederickLeech, and dedicated to Misis Florence Col-ville. The piece has been neatly litho-graphed by Messrs Mills, Dick, and Co., ofDunedin, and is published at the price of 2s.

Six horses weredrawnby holdersof ticketsin the Tuapeka district, in the recent £1000Derby Sweep drawn at Dunedin. Mr Jno.Tanton, of Waitahuna, who drew the fa-vourite Horatio, is stated to have beenoffered but refused £100 for his chance.

The Blue Spur mining correspondent ofthe Tuapeka paper says:—"The presentstate of the Colonies is inducingsome of ourmore go-ahead shareholders to leave us, andto betake themselves to other more profit-able, or perhaps more settled, occupations.Several veryuseful and energetic men haveleft us lately."

Tne Cromwell Argus reports as follows,respecting quartz-mining in that district :—

" The manager of the Heart of Oak Com-pany reports that this Company will com-mence crushing on the 14th, after the clean-ing-up of the Star. The stone that hasbeen got from the old workings is verygood, but there is not a large quantity ofit. The manager has struck the reeffrom the 50 feet shaft. The stone lookssolid, and the reef is well-defined ; butnone of the stone has been tested, so itis impossible to say how it may turn out.The Star of the East has just fini hed athree-weeks'crushing. As the amalgamisnot yet retorted, it is impossibleto tell theexactyield; but the manager doesnot expectit to turn out very rich, as a large portionofit is the product of stone left in the drivesas blocks of poor quality. As soon as thetunnel is in which is being driven at the lowlevel, much better stone will be raised, andit canbe worked to greateradvantagethanatpresent.—The John Bull Company have ar-ranged to crush from 200 to 300 tons at MrLogan's machine. Themachinewillnot, how-ever, commence upon it for aboutafortnightyet.—The Colleen Bawn Companyhave twomenonly at work.Thereports fromit aremoreencouraging than they have been for sometime. Itwould be premature, however, toindulgeinany veryhopefulremarks for somelittletime yet.—TheYoungAustralianCom-pany are going on quietly. The reef in theirclaim is reported to have narrowed a little,but the shareholders do not think much cfthat.—TheTryAgain Companyarestill driv-ing upon the reef. Lately, it also is re-ported to have narrowed to a thickness ofnine or ten inches only. What is of it,however, is Baid to be pretty good.—Thetunnel in the Caledonian claim is beingdriven at what we may call the 450 feetlevel. Itwillbe rememberedthat two shaftsweresunk upon the reef from the 200 feetlevel, but the result was that work had tobe abandoned, on account of a heavy infl-jwof water. The tunnel now being driven willremedy that."

The Taranaki natives are reported to begetting tired of their fanatical chief TeVVhiti, as by callingmeetings continuallyheis impoverishingthem. The Herald reportsthatat the meeting lately held at Pariaka,iv which Taurua took part, Tito Kowaruwanted to know when the miracle3weretobe performed, and when Elijah was to beraised from the dead, but Te VVhiti wasequalto the occasion,and, in his mysteriousmanner, replied that Elijah was alreadyamongstthem.

The Bellringers' entertainment drewanother crowded house at the Masonic Halllast evening. The programme was wellgone through, and appeared to give satisfac-tion. Mr Frank Verten's dancing in "Nico-demus Johnson" was good, andseverai oftheitems which he contributed were well given.Messrs H. Lynch, seuior and junior, played" Home, Sweet Home" on thehandbells, andfor the excellent manner in which it wasdone, received a veryemphatic encore. TheChinese comic song and dance, " ChingChing," produced roars of laughter, andwere not the least enjoyable part of theprogramme. The eutercainment concludedwith a laughable farce entitled the "Adven-tures of a Nervous Traveller^' which sentthe audience away in goodhumour. A veryattractive programme has been prepared forthis evening.

The entertainment to be given by theMammoth Troupe at the Priueess Theatrethis evening will be for the benefit of Mr G.Bromley. There is to be a "Grand Mid-day Performanceto morrow to enableschoolsand families to attend."

Crawskaw ; £5240 ;Mr Daniel M'lntyre, £5328 9s Od ; MrRobert Wilson, £4754 10s 0d ; Mr A.G. Proctor, £5196 15s. A tender for thesame works amounting to £5353 was for-warded by Mr W. P. Pearce, but as nodeposit accompanied the tender, it wasnot received.

RIGHT-OF-WAY.The only tender received for forming

and metalling the right-of-way extendingfrom George street to Moray Place N.E.was that of Mr W. Mead, amounting to£19 17s6d.

The tenders for each of the above-men-tioned works were referred to the WorksCommittee.

WEIGHBRIDGE,

When the Council were about to con-sider the work of "Taking down theCrawford street weighbridge, and re-erec-tion of the same at Great King streetnorth,"

Mr Barnes moved that fresh, tendersbe invited. His reason was that severalpersons were notaware until veryrecentlythat the Council had advertised for ten-ders, and consequently they had nottendered.

The motion was agreedto,APPOINTMENT OF A SEXTON.

Applications from persons willing toundertake the dutiesof sexton wereread.The followingare theapplicants :—MessrsJamesGregg, W. Pearce, W. Henderson,JamesPollock, James Hare, and JamesSimpson.

Mr Beck asked if there was any truthin the rumour that, so far as certainmembers "of the Council were concerned,it had already been decided to appointMr Simpson, no matter who might apply.

The members of the Council deniedthat there was any foundation for thestatement that the appointment of MrSimpson, oranybody else, had been de-cided upon ; although, considering thegood recommendation which Mr Simp-son's career as sexton gave him, some ofthe membershad said it would be fortu-nateif the Council succeeded inobtainingthe services of such a man. That state-ment, however,was made when the Coun-cil did not know who would apply, orwhether there might not be candidateseven more competent than Mr Simpson.

After some discussion, the Councilwent into Committee to consider the ap-plications. Mr Simpson was declared thesuccessful candidate, and as Mr Hender-son had been very highlyrecommended,it was also decided that the Town Clerkshould convey to Mr Simpson their re-commendation that he employ Mr Hen-derson wheneverable to do so.

The Council then adjourned until the29th inst., at 4 p.m.

WINTON BUSH ESTATE,Southland.

For Saleby Public Auction.

DRIVER, STEWART, and CO.have been favouredwith instructions from the

proprietor tosell by public auction, in the town ofVVinton, Southland, about the middle of jDecember(exact date in future advertisement),

That magnificentproperty known asSHAND'S WINTON ESTATE,

Southland District,Consisting of about

q(\aA ACRES—subdivided into farms of sizesO \J \J\J suit purchasers;

Also,The present growing crops—chiefly wheat—

which will be sold separately, before thefreehold.

This fine property consists of rich alluvial wheatland, yieldingforty to fifty bushels per acre. Jt is in-tersected from end to end by the Great North Road,and the Bluff, Invercargill, Winton. and WakatipuRailway, thus possessing unusual facilities for thetransit of produce to the ioterior or to the Bluff,where vessels of the largest class load at the wharvesdirect for Melbourne, Lot don, or elsewhere.

The country between the p operty and Kingstonhavingno available timber, enhances immensely thevalue of the forests of the Wintoa Estate.

There are two Farm Steadings, about six milesapart, beautifullysituated for gentlemen's residence-*,and adjoiningrodd and railway, which would xaikivaluable homesteads for purchasers acquiring largtblocks adjacent.

The grain crops hitherto taken from a largeportiorof the estate have been followed by artificial g assesand as the soil has not been exhausted, but rather improved, the grassed lauds, it is estimated, will fattereight to ten sheep per acre.

Mr Shand—himself apractical farmer of much experience—having been one of the earliest settlers irthe district, had the opportunity of selecting the yen

best of the country, and that his selection was mad<with sound judg ■ent the result amply provrs. Th<extraordinary crops produced by him caused such srush to the district that the Government found inecessary to raise the uptet price of Crown Landsbut too late, however, to save any of the fine alluviawhe*t lands in the Wiuton district., all of which havipassed into private hands.

Terms of payment will be very easy, viz.:—J cash onfall of hammer-V by acceptance at 12 monthsi,, »» .» 24 „i,, » » 36 „

This Company is projected for the purpose ofpurchasing the well-known \losgiel Woollen Fac-tory, and for supplying the additional capital1,necessary to overtake the growing requirements -ofthis the most successful industrial undertakingever started in this Colony.

The sole reason which has induced Messrs-Burns and Co. to takethis step is that they fhiCLthe limited capital at their command preventthem taking full advantage of theextensive mar-ket which thegrowing dem.ind for their manu-factures has unexpectedly openedup since theystarted.

An agreement has been entered into witkMessrs Burns and Co. to sell to the Company as-follows :—

I. Their Machineryand Plant at their actual:cost, as certified by C. H. Street,Esq., Accoun-tant, after a careful examination of ihe Firm'sBooks and Vouchers, adding thereto 30 per cent,for the rise in thetrade price of all such ma-chinery since its purchase. Messrs Briscoe andCo. and Mr James Manning, Machinery Im-porters, in Dunedin, have certified that an ad-dition of at least 40 per cent, would have been.. justified ; and it is submitted that, in the ab-sence of parties' competent, or at least wellenough known, to make a direct valuation ofany weight with the General Public, this is the

1 fairest mode of arriving at values. 11. The', Buildings and Land at the value as certifiedtoby Messrs Mason and Wales, Architects, andMessrs Gillies and Street, Land Agents; and,

$111., a Bonus of £2,500for thegood-will of this -highly remunerative and extensive business,

'. amounting in all to £17,000.1 Of this amount Messrs Burns and Co wish to\ retain £12,000 in thecapital of the Company in

400' i share's, £3 paid up, and, as an evidence ofI their faith in the future prospects of the con-

cern,—they will thus be liable for the remaining.£2 per share of calls on these shares, the same as

I other shareholders, so that all shares will be onexactly the samefooling.

1 Stock will be taken on the day the Company:enters into possession, and the wool and other,raw materials, and also the manufactured goods,,,as well as the book debts, will be taken overattheir fairvalue. ■

Messrs Burns and Co. will also grant the pri- -vilege, free of charge, of constructing and usinga tramway through other lands belonging to-them, from the Mosgiel Works to the SouthernTrunk Bail way, should such be required, butnegotiations are now in progress whereby this: may not be needed. When the works are con--■ nected with the railway, the working expenses,; especially in the matter of cost of coal, will be

' largelyreduced., Allpreliminary expenses of starting this Com-pany, up to its registration, will be paid byMessrs Burns and Co.,' so that theentire capital,. as shown in the subjoined account, will be avail—. able on the day the new Company is constituted,. The enormous advantages of a Joint Stock

' Company of entering iuto possession of a large •. manufacturing busiuess in' full operation, on adefinite date, without preliminary expenses, orwaiting for erection of buildings, importation of

' plant, or all'the risks and delays incidental to-; the starting of a new concern,will be at once;I apparent. Profits will accrue from the veryI day theexpenses of the Company begin, and it

maj' confidently be said that, seldom, anywhere, '\has such a property been acquired on terms so-advantageous.

It is obvious that it might materially injurethefuture prospects of the Company, and be un-fairto Messrs Burns and Co,to reveal publiclythe profitshitherto made, or the details of costs-and values ; but &OH«.7'/tfe'investors can obtainample information on these points from Messrs -Gillies ami Street, who after a thorough and:searching investigation of the whole matter,pledge themselves forthe accuracy of the state-ments made. Inquiry and investigation by in-tending shareholders are desired and courted, asMessrs Gilliesand Street are satisfied the moreitis looked into the more shareholders will besatisfied that they are being fairly dealt with,and that no more legitimate or remunerativeoutlet, for capital, or one presenting better ormore extensive future prospects, has ever beenoffered in Dunedin.

The Provisional Directors can state that theyhave examined into the detailsnot here submit-ted to the public, that they are perfectly satisfied,that the pi-ice asked is a fair one, that the reasonassigned for parting with the propertyis the trueone, thatthe concern has proved remunerative inthe hands of Messrs Burns and Co., and thatthere is no doubt, if equallywell managed inthofuture, it will prove proportionately remunera-tive in its more extended form.

Itmay be mentioned that thegreatdemandforthe Mosgiel goods has arisen without the employ-ment of travellers or any of the usual adjuncts-for pushing such trade. Until lately one set ofmachines only has been at work. Now therear©two, and a third is on its way fromEngland.

The success of the undertaking hitherto hasbeen largely owing to ths ability and ener«v ofthe working managur, Mr Smaile, whose services-for a term of years have been secured to theCompany, and who will retain a money interestin the concern. Mr A. J. Burns also will, ifdesired, still continue in the business manage-ment of the Company,

It is proposed thatprepayment of calls, up to£3 per share, be received by the P(.-rm;inent Di-rectors from parties desirous of iuvesring a defi-nite sum at once, for which interest at "the rate-of 5 per cent, per annum will he allowedoverand above any dividendaccruing.

Forms of application can be obtained fromMessrs GILLIES and STREET,Princes street"Dunedin, to whom, or to theCompany's Bankerseposits may be paid. jjj^

SUPPLEMENT.)WASTE LANDS BOARD.

The Board met at the usual hour yester- Iday, when there were present:—The Chief.Commissioner (in the chair), and MessrsBastings, Bntierworth, Strode, Reid, andClark.

COAL PROSPECTING,

On the applicationof MrEraser, authoritywas granted to Mr J. Nelson to prospectforcoal on theKapiti reserve.

The TokomairiroCoal Company requestedare-hearing of their case, as they consideredthe fixed rent to be unreasonable. Theiragents, Messrs Gillies and Street, stated thatMr Hutchison, of Shag Point, had beengranted a coal lease of 123 acres for twenty-one years, at an annual rental of £16. Ap-plicants did not anticipate such favourableterms, for they had expended £600 in form-ing roads, and making other improvementsbeneficial to the public ; whereas Mr Hutch-ison had received a vote from Governmentfor that purpose. Theysubmitted that theBoard having power to deal with the matter,it wouldonlybefair to allowtheTokomairiroCompany a lease on moderate terms.

The Cheef Commissioner: I should notgrudge a lease, Mr Gillies, if I knew thatoperationswould be constantly carriedon.

Mr Strode : I consider such an agreementindispensable, and that the works should beproceeded with at once. Eveiy inducementshould be given to bonajide applicants.

Mr Clark : Iknow for a fact that nearlyevery penny received by the TokomamroCompany has been spent upon roads, whichhave been a great boon to settlers, beinggenerallyused by them.

Mr Gillies : Wouldthe Board be willingtogrant a lease of 395 acres on the same termsas Mr Hutchison's.

The Chief Commissioner : 1 would nota^ree to that

The Board granted a lease of 395 acres at£30 per anuum, for twenty-one years. Themaximum price of coal at the pit's mouthwas fixed at 10s per ton, and the productionwas to average 2,000 tons annually.

APPLICATIONS TO PURCHASE.Mr Wheelerpressed for the decisionof the

BaarJ, re the applications of Joseph Tam-blyn, for section 35, block 11., Teviot ; JohnTamblyn, for section 36, do ; James Tam-*>lyn, section 37, do ; and the "WesleyanChurch, section 39, do.

The Board having reason to believe thatthe land was auriferous,the matter was de-ferred for the report of Warden Simpson re-gardingthe nature of the ground.

Mr George Gilroy's application to havesection 14, block XXX.,Kaitangata, offeredfor sale, was referred to the District Rangerfor report.

Mr Alex. Leek, who appliedto purchasesection 337, at Port Chalmers,for the upsetprice, was requested to waituntil the perio-dical sale.

The Board refused to grant the applica-tions of Messrs Peter and David Grantto purchase sections 5 and 6, block IX., andsections 2, 3, and 4, block X., Maungatua—part of theTraquair Hundred.

The New Zealand Meat Preserving Com-pany applied, through Messrs Connell andMoodie, to purchase the reserve at themouth of the creek in blr*ck 111., Oamaru.It was agreed to have the land offered forsale by public auction, at the upset price of£3 3s per Acre.

MR SHAND'S APPLICATION",

Mr J. H. Harris said that he had beeninstructed by Mr Shand to make an explan-ation with reference to his applicationfor land in. the Traquair Hundred. Atthe last sitting of the Board, no authenticcopy of the Otago Hundreds ValidationActwas at their disposal, and it was onlyby re-port they knew exactly what had beenallowed. There was no doubb Mr Shandwas entitled to this land, in spite of any pro-clamation, and it had wrongly been imputedto him that he had obtained informationthrough his connection with the Execu-tive, as it bad come to him in a busi-ness way through his solicitor andagent. However, he did not wish toinsist in carrying out his applicitionto a great extremity, unless other pei'sonsappliedfor the laud, and insisted upon theirapplications being received in accordancewith the 31st section of the Act. He(Mr Shand) was quite willing to bidfor such part 'of the land as hemight require at auction, excepting underthis condition, that if other personsshould apply for portions of the TiaquairHundred, and insist upon and be successfulin obtainingthe land which theyappliedfor,then.he would consider himselt equally en-titledto do the same ; but otherwise he wasquite williug to compete at auctionwith anyotherapplicant.

The Chairman said he had not yet re-ceived a copy of the Act, but would take anote of Mr Harris's statement.

MISCELLANEOUS.A letter was read from Mr John Hurley,

requesting a reduction of the price of thesection on which Ms cottage stands on MrM'Lcan's run. The application was refused.

The applicationof Messrs F. Hull and Co.for a leaseof 50 acres of land on block 11.,Barmockburn, for antimony mining, wasgranted under the 161st clause of the Act,at £l per annum.

The Board granted Mr William Williams'sapplication for a water-race near Clyde,under the conditions prescribed by the Dis-trict Land Officer.

Mr William Creswick's application for alease of 100 acres of bush reserve at TuapekaGorge, was referred to the district Wardenfor report.

Mr Bastings requested that the advertise-ments of land sales be sent to the Under-secretary before publication, so that theExecutive could determine in what paperstoinsert them.

Orders were given to the Clerk to send theadvertisementsdirect tothe Under-Secretaryin future.

Wet as the month of September was inDunedin, it was still wetter in Wanganui.In each place rain fell on 17 days, but whileia Dunediu the raiafall amounted to 4-54inches, in Wanganui it amounted to 6 23inches. In Wangahui, also, there wereseveral thunderstorms, of which Dunedinhad none.

Many in Ofcago willbe interested to hearthat the first annivei-sary of the Ilev. MrKh-kland's assumption of the PresbyterianChurch at Hokitika was celebrated by asoiree held there on the 7th inst. The at-tendance was numerous, and the soiree, inthewoidsof the West Coast Times, "wasquitea success."

The Auckland Star says:—"Authenticinformation from TeKuiti has beenreceivedthat Tawhiao has completed building hisnew house, and carved it all over to removethetapu. Inwork of thiskind inthe oldtimesit was customary to have a sacrifice. Puru-kutu wished to revive this old custom, andactually he and forty men started for thatpurpose, but Tawhiao had them broughtback."

The Auckland papers publish thereport ofMr O'Sullivan, the Inspector of Schools,upon the state of education in the Provinceof Auckland. From this report we extractthe following passage:—"Taere is at pre-sent very great difficulty in obtaining suit-able teachers : a difficulty which, it seemslikely, will increase. From among the pupilteachers, some very efficient masters andmistresses can, in time, be selected. I havereason to believe that if even moderate sala-ries could be assured to teachers, manywould be induced to ooßie here from theUnited Kingdom, the Australian Colonies,and the South Island, attracted by the mild-ness of the climate. While uncertaintyun-fortunately attends the arrangements withreßpeot to education, little can be acoom-pltektid in bhw way/

REVIEW.

Life and Labours of 2fr Braxsey, by SirArthur Helps, X.C.8., London : Belland Daldy, 1872.

' There are few morehumiliatingthingsthan to compare the idealwe have formedof a certain well-known man by readingof his public life, with the real man as wefind him in private, or Icarn of him inthe pages of his biography. Most of ushave at some time or other been struckby the complete falseness of our imagina-

Ition, when we have met with the portraitof some public character in the pages ofthe IllustratedLondon News or Graphic.To say that not one man in a thousandwho had read Dickens without seeinghim could have imaginedhis personal ap-pearance, is not saying much ; though,if he wrote his own life in his books,and physiognomists are to be trusted,some such portraiture should have beenpossible. It would be more exact to saythat the very antithesis and opposite ofthe manof his reader's imagination wasto be found under Charles Dickens's hot.So, too, with Thackeray. Who wouldcon-ceive that benign and open face as be-longing to the author of Pendennis andVanity Fair ? We might readily instancea dozen other well known men, whoselabours and whose persons appearto present a contrariety bordering upon theabsurd. Stillmore continuallywe noticethat a man's .occupationgives the lie tohis character, or his character to hisoccupation. Generosity and personalbenevolence in a pawnbroker, a nobletrustfulness in a vendor of old clothes,these are characteristics we do notexpect, but judging by experience weshall hardly be surprised to findthem sooner or later. Calcraft, weunderstand, -was a model Philistine, withall the Philistine distastes for the un-usual in his private life. Than JohnBright they say no harder and less libe-ral soul everlived, in. commercial circles ;and we might instance the same curiouskind of contradiction in oneor two of ourleadingcolonial politicians,though hardlywithout being too personal. No greaterdifference between fact and theory willreadily be found than in the\character ofthe good great man, whose life SirArthur Helps has so wellwritten. If thereader of this notice will kindly pause fora moment, and try to imagine what sortof a man this king of contractors proba-bly was, they will find themselves creat-ing a Thomas Brassey as unlike the ori-ginalas Green Island lignite is unlike thebest screenedNewcastle. The very nameof contractor conjures up visions of aman whosebusiness it is to sail as nearthe wind as possible, to be up to everydevice and knowing in every trick of thetrade. Of a man whose confidence ischiefly given to himself, and who ratherthinks that if he does not get up earlierthan the rest of the world, he willnot geta fair share of its goods. A hard manwould be the current notionof any givencontractor about whom weknow nothing.It would seem probable that bankerswould become musicians by constantdealing- with notes, and bookkeepers no-velists, rather than that anyone should bea contractor,and a successful one, upon alarge scale, while distinguished by thesoftness and truthfulness of his disposi-tion, the generosity and benevolence ofhis heart, and theintense lovingkindnessof his whole nature. Yet such a descrip-tion would be by no means an ex-aggeratedone of Mr ThomasBrassey. Hewas a man whom his servants almostworshipped, whom animals loved, andwhom children positively adored. Hemade a giganticfortune out of his profes-sion. Take it to heart ye business menstriving for money, and remember thatthe prince of contractors found it no bar,but a help to success, to cultivate all thekindlier virtues. Before entering uponthe detail of his life's work, we shouldlike by gathering a few scattered noticesof his character, to present the readerwith some notion of the sort of kind gen-tlemanthat has now gone to his rest.

The most striking point in Mr Brassey'scharacter was his truthfulness. He chosehis agents with greatcare and with consum-mate judgment. After he had chosen themhe xjlaced imijlicit trust in them. He wasexceedingly liberal in the conduct of hisbusiness, probablythereneverwas a manwhomade somuch money, caring so little for themoney itself. He was a man of singularlycalm and equabletemperament. Mr Brasseydid not take less care than anxious men arewont to do, but having given his best effortsto ensure success, ha was content to awaitthe result, and abide by it with perfectequanimity. Iremember Mr Bartlett tellingme that Mr Brassey never appeared sohappyas when he had lost £20,000. At thetime of the great panic, when things wereatthe worst, he said, one night, " Never mind;we must be content with a little less, that'sall." That Jvas when he supposed he hadlost a millionof money. The ruling passionof his life was to execute great works whichhe believed to be of the highest utility tomankind ; to become celebrated for faith-fulness, punctuality, and completeness inthe execution of his work. It was aremark made by her who must haveknown Mr Brassey best, that he wasa most unworldly man. The traits which Ihave discovered may be chiefly enumeratedunder the heads of generosity and tender-ness. Busy men have not always time topractise geuerosity, and still less to evincetenderness ; but he was never want-ing whenthere was an opportunity to be generous.He was tender-heartedin all the relations oflife, and could not bear to wound anyone'sfeelings ; it pained him to refuse, and alto-gether his tender-heartedness musb havebeen to him a source of much trouble, dis-tress, and suffering. He was a man of muchrefinement of mind ; his people seemed toenter into a higher atmosphere when theywere in his presence, conscious of the intensedislike which he had of everything that wasmoan, petty, or contentious. He was entirelyfree from vanity or boastfulness,and dis-tinguished for the courtesy of his mannersto all."

It may occur to some who read thisdescription of his charactor, that it isoverstrained—to others, that after allsuch virtues as these are not uncommon.To the first, we would say theworkbeforeus presents irrefragable testimony frommany sources that the above is by nomeans an exaggeration. To the second,we would say, true, we do find menpos-sessed of many of these virtues—gentlesouls who hover through life but littletried, with a goodnamefor most of thesesofter graces. But the charm of MrBrassey's character was that he unitedthese charm 3 to one of the shrewdest andmost penetratingof intellects ; that in anoccupation peculiarly liable to spoil thetemper, he preserved an unruffled mind ;that he preserved those traits which weusually associate with amiable childhoodthroughout a life of eager competition,undisturbedby the rivalry and unmarredby the hardness of the world, and openedhis oyster with and through their means.

It is impossible in a limited space to domore than name some of the variousworksexecuted by Mr Brassey in. everycorner of the earth. The Grand Trunkof Canada, of which the Victoria Bridgecrossing the St. Lawrence at Montreal isa part, is a lasting memorialof his Tit.ne ;this was, measured by most tests, thegreatest work which he undertook. TheArgentine Railway, judging by the fruitswhich it has produced and is likely to pro-du(ie? was pwftaps of the greatest utility.

Undoubtedly the Crimean line was, bothfrom the wonderful speed with which itwas constructed and the urgent needwhich it supplied, the most sensational.To many of our readers the accountof hiswork in New South Wales will provethe mostinteresting,assupplyinga volumeof valuables comparisons between thisColony and that. We might name moreremarkable worksof which the accountis all too scant in this volume. In Italy,France, Denmark, Moldavia, Mr Bras-sey's name was not uiiknown ; while inEngland the Great Northern remainsstill, as it always has been, a very patternto all other lines. Not the least inter-esting part of this book is the comparisonmade between the value of labour invarious parts of the world. This wasa subject always of peculiar interest tothe great contractor, and he took anhonest pride in noting that the English-man surpassed the inhabitant of everyothercountry in strength and endurance.In most foreign undertakings, Mr Bras-sey in the first instance took men withhimto commenceworkuntil the " natives"were trained, when he could graduallydispense with their services; Notwith-standing the superiority of the Britishworkman, it accord3with Mr Brassey'aexperience that the actual price oflabour done has a singular tendency toequalise itself everywhere, the best paiddoing so much more work in the sametime, besides being more to be dependedupon for a push. Also, we notice thatMr Brassey found that men could be fedup to the point of making greater exer-tions. In some instances, wherehis menreceived higher wages than before hisai'rival in the neighbourhood, and spenttheir increased earnings in nourishingfood, a very marked improvement tookplace in their physical powers.

In his financial operations, Mr Brasseywas, upon the whole, singularlysuccess-ful. He had a talent for diplomacy, themost unyielding of speculators and di-rectories seem often to have melted be-fore his suave and kindly demeanour,and prompt and keen suggestions. With-out one ounce, of those meaner arts bywhich diplomatists are sometimes sup-posed to win their triumphs in his wholedisposition, Mr Brassey had a wonder-ful knack of persuasion, and generallycontrived to get his own way. Indeed,among those many and variedaccomplish-ments required in a large contractor heseems to have been wanting in very few.This is an age of contractors, and we maywell style the subject of this biographyas theirprince. A more useful man thecountry has not produced, though proba-biy he willbe forgottenwhen thememoryof several.patrioticmembers is still freshand green in the hearts of theiradmirers. We can only wish that herehis memory may endure for a littleThis is a day of contractorsand sub-con-tractors, of tenders, specifications, andpenalties : this is the hour of triumphfor aIL those who devote their time andbrains to carrying out the projects whichskill and capital have devised. From thehumble road man, who undertakes hismile.or two of repairs, up to the giganticBrogden with his millions to look after,New Zealandis full of contractors ; everytownship swarms with them, every hotelis crammedto the doors.

Sir .Arthur Helps is of opinionthat the old saying is a true one, and thatgreat needs as they require so they creategreat men. We hope it is so,-though wemust confess that the Amerisan war forever shook our faith in the truth of thetheory. We hope it is so ; the Colon}7certainly needs great men, not onlyto devise schemes, but to carry themout. If any one thinks that to de-mand great men as contractors issomewhat fantastical, the sceptic will beconvinced to the contrary by aperusal ofMr Brassey's life. He was emphaticallyagreat man ; whether in small or largematters he brought to his task powers andqualities which would have made himgreat whateverpath in life hehad chosen,He made himself a name, nay more, hemade a name for his profession in almostevery cornerof theearth. Kising above thecustoms andconventionalities of his class,he carved out apath for himself which hefollowedunswervingly. It is to behopedthat those whoare undertakingwork likehis, will be wise enough to read, mark,learn, and digest the lessons this bookteaches. Mr Brassey sleeps beneath thesod, but of him, even moretruly than ofstatesmen, patriot, or soldier, it may besaid that thesix feetof coldearth thatholdhis body will not even hold the names ofhis good deeds. We thank Sir ArthurHelps for his book. Such plain, unvar-nished statements do good—more goodthan a thousand sermons. Mr Brasseylived a longsermon, and we do not doubtthathe has left many devoted adherentsto follow his footsteps. The good thatsuch men do is not to be easily measured.The shadow of his life will have fallenupon many who were associated withhim, and have given them clearer andmore loffcy ideas of commercial moralI*,1*,honour, and manliness. There aremanywho will never cease to deplorehis loss,who have received substantial tokens ofhis generosity, and who will never find abetter friend. The country that pro-duced him may be proud ; the • friendsthat knew him be £-lad to have had thehonour of his friendship. The enemies—but he had none—unless it be true thathatred is the result of giving.

Where such men as Mr Brassey repre-sent the commercialhonour of England,thathonour v/illbe preserveduntarnished.He has wonwhat he sought; and thoughit may seem little to some, he has earneda name for dependableness, which willnot soonbe forgotten.

The Countess of Loudon has purchased theestates of the Earl ofStamford and Warring-ton, comprising theLordships of Breedou,Wilton, and Touge, with the manorialrights, advowsous, &c. The purchase moneywas £167,000, exclusive of timbercoveringabout 300 acres, and which her ladyshiptakes by valuation,

The final sitting of the Legislative As-semblyat Albany, New York, appears tohave been rather wanting in repose.During the recess, says the New YorkTribune, between the afternoon andevening sittings, the post-office box ofeach member had been supplied with apaper of pop-corn, accompanied by aprinted circular tendering the thanks ofthe third house for the vigilance andfidelity with which the members hadattended to private interests durirg thesession, and the indifference displayedfor the interests of the public. Theutmost confusion and disorder pre-vailed from the opening of the ses-sion. Paper balls and other missileswere constantly hurled at the heads ofmembers in all parts of the chamber.Small tin horns were blown continually,members smoked in their seats, and thewhole appearance of the Assembly wasmore like bedlam or pandemonium thana deliberativebody. The Speaker ham-mered away vigorously with his gaveluntil he broke the handle, and then hehammered with his fists, but his effortsto preserve order only added to the con-fusion. It was almost impossible to hearanything that was"gßii4 or to keep nin ofthe pvdcmdin^Hi

Equally celebratedare "BoltonAbbey in the Olden Time," " Titania,""Laying down the Law," and " The lateDulve of Wellington, accompanied by hisdaughter-in-law, visiting the Field ofWaterloo." in 1858 lie exhibited "Deer*Stalking," the first of his large drawingsin chalk which have since become sopopular; in 1859,his picture of '"DoubtfulCrumbs," and " A Kind Star ;" in 1860,his "Flood in the Highlands;" and in1861, "The Shrew Tamed," with threelarge drawings in chalk ; and more re-cently, " Windsor Park," " SquirrelsCracking Nuts," and "Man Proposes,but GodDisposes," a scene in the Arcticregions. The majority of his compositionshave become popular us engravings, hisgrand bronze ngure of " The Stag atBay1' was in the Royal Academy Exhibi-tion of 1866, and the four lions in bronzefor the base of the Nelson column, Trafalgar square, for which he received thecommission from the Governmentin 1859,were placed on the pedestals and. un-covered January 31, 1867. After thedeath of Sir Charles Eastlake, in 1866,Sir Edwin was elected President of theRoyal Academy. He refused to acceptthe honour, and an adjournment for aweek took place, in order togivehim timefor consideration. As Sir Edwin couldnot be induced to alter his determination,thePresidency was offered to Mr Maclise,who also positively declinedit, whereuponSir Frat:.cis Grant was elected.

RAILWAY-MAKING IN HAWKE'SBAY.

{Xapier Daily Telegraph.)The Napier and Paki-paki railway

shouldbe completed by the Ist Decembernext, according to the terms of the agree-ment between the Government andMessrs (• rogden, but owing to the diffi-culties that have been experienced in ob-taining timber for sleepers and bridges,the work will not be ready for traffictill, probably, six months after the stipu-lated time. The difficulties that havecaused delay are those over which thecontractors could have had but littlecontrol, and are n<.t due to an absencewithin the province of the requisitetimber, but to the want of abe-bodiedaad c m^etent bush-nun, aad to thedifficulty of transporting the timberwhencut to the line of work. If the Hawke'sBay railway had been commencedfromthe Seventy-Mile Bush, no such difficul-ties would have interfered with the ex-peditious performance of a contract forthe construction of a railway of twentymiles in length, and the absurdity of run-ning a railroad by the side of au excel-lent metalledroad, and terminatingit onthe edgeof a trackless plain, would havebeen obviated. We pointed out, nearlytwo years ago, the unprofitableness ofthe course that was about to be pursuedwith regard to the public works in. thisProvince, and now it has been fully seenthat unless means are adopted to bringwhere it is required from the Seventy-MileBush the vast store of timber to befound there, our Provincial railway willonly be a monument of folly. With theobject in view of facilitating the con-struction of the railway between Papi-paki and Waipukurau, we learn that asum of money has been appropriated forthe laying of a tramwayfrom Norsewoodto Waipukurau. The line is now beingsurveyed, and when the tramway is com-pleted, a most useful and profitable workwill have been accomplished.

THE COLLIER'S PAY AND PLAY.

A "Special Commissioner" of theLiverpool Weekly Albion has been de-scribing in that Journal the condition ofthe Lancashire colliers. In a contribu-tion, headed as above, he writes as fol-lows :—

Our more reliable statistics come fromthe VVigan district. The average dailyearnings of over eightymen, taken pi*o-miscuously, in the Arley mine, at onecolliery, was 9s sd. These men do notworkevery day—in some cases, far fromit—yet this shows what all can obtain inelevenor twelve days in thefortnight, ifso inclined. Some earn much more. Onecollier we find receiving £7 10sin a fort-night ; out of this, however, he paysabout 38s to his "drawer." Another,who is a steady workman, cleai's in thesame time £10 5s ; this man generallystays at his duties eleven days out of thefourteen (consisting, be it noted, of twoSundays and only twelve possible workdays). After paying a drawer 4s 6d aday, his daily wage will be calculated atabout 14s. A thirdcoal-getter, aftereightdays' employmentin thepits, has £6 7s 9dstanding to his account ; and during thissame fortnight, which from a holiday oc-curring thereinwas a short one, anotherindustrious miner is observed, who, withthe aid of two drawers, has sent to thesurface in nine day's coal sufficient to en-title him to £9 18a. The following are thewages of one family :—James W., collier... _£6 15 0 in nine daysHis son, drawer 2 14 0 ~Another son, drawer.. 1 11 6 ~As an instance of how a man's familycan do much more than maintain them-selves, we may mention the case of fourbrothers, the eldest of whom is onlyseventeen, who, at the Garswood ParkColliery, near St. Helens, obtain together103 a day—earnings which in a yearwould amount very nearlyto £200 ! Howa poor curate or clerk's eyes wouldbrighten at the bare hope of such an in-come. It is very common for a fatherand his sons to work together, and nicelittle sums they make. One collier inthe.Tyldesley district told us of a friendof his, who, having chanced upon auf?isy a,nd pfcoclijetive popbion of tfoe s'eaipt,

clears with theaid of two sons some £20per fortnight; and further, how that thissteady man has already saved five orsix hundred pounds, has built him-self a house near Chowbent, andmeans to erect half-a-dozen othersfor as many sons and daughters tolive in, when married, around the patri-archal tent. The man, however, is nomiser, and is always ready to '' show apound or two" and "stand drinks allround." Our informant added—"Hedunnot drink scarcely onny hisself, buthe'llwatch th' others at 't; he'll only takwhoam a quart o' yale on t' Saturdayneete, and have it warmed and spiced fort' Sunday." If every collier imitated soprudent abrother, who could grudge himwages much higher than those he gets atpresent I Although the " getters" can, iftheychoose, obtain immense sums, stillthe majority idle away three or fourwork-days after each fortnightlypay-day ;and thus earn no greater amounts thanformerly.

And how does the collier spend hiswages ? Not on his home ; for if youlook therein^ everything seems to tellof squalor and discomfort. Not onhis children; for 3?ou see them .sit-ting in huddled threes and fourson doorsteps in wretched threadbare gar-ments of those hues peculiar to thedresses of neglected little gh'ls—fadedgreen, dirty ochre, and coffee-staincolour. The Rev. T. F. Fergie, vicar ofLice, near Wigan, says that it is no un-usual thing to hnd colliers "risking agreat portion of their fortnight's wagesupon some sporting event, and in conse-quence of the losses whichresult, to findwhole families, which might be otherwisein comfortablecircumstances, destituteofthe common necessaries of life. Thesporting dog of the collier is often wellfed, and even clothed, while his childrenare hungry and naked. A Justice of thePeace in my own parish recently lookedin at the cottage of a working-man who represented himself as unequalto the payment of his rent, whichwas much in arrear, and the paucity ofwhose goods and chattels held out noprospect of a legal remedy, when hefound six dogs well-fed, housed, andcared for. How painfully such facts re*call the words of our Divine Redeemer,'It is not meet to take the children'sbread and cast it to the dogs!'" Play-Monday is the occasion for the collier'shigh jinks ; dog-racing, dog-fighting," wrostling," and pigeon-flyingform themorning pursuits. Some are of mmhquieter tastes ; we have seen them in therooms of road-side public-houses, playingpeacefully game after game of draughts ;some you find gambling with dominoes,while the commonest of their amusementsis a harmless game of bowls. At thislatter pastime they occupy themselvessometimes the whole day. It is laugh-able to liateti to them as they rollthe heavy balls at the "jack"—tohearthemspeaking, and shouting, and issuingdirectionsto the bowlafterit has left theirhands, just as if v; were alive aud couldunderstand what was called after it."Rim bowl," "run bowl," cries one ashis ball shows symp'oms of " wantinglegs." "Tell 'em it's another bowl,"coaxes this other blackly-shaved youngcollier with blended triumph aud anxiety,thereby admonishing his own bowl to tellthe other bowls that there is " another"for it3master. The collier on. his " play-day" invariably consumes an immensequantity of beer, aud muddy druggedstuff it looks.

In several towns and villagespeculiarceremonies ai*e kept up by the miners,and celebrated upon a fixed day annu-ally, which goes by the name of LordMayor'sDay. Colliers concentratefromthe country around into any town thatintends keeping its festival. Westhough-ton has had one of the most famous ofthese observances from "time immemo-rial ;" and the rites of the day have con-ferred upon the good people of the placethe nickname of "Keaw Yeds" (Cow-heads). Each year the ceremony com-mences upon the last Saturday in Sep-tember. In the eveningeach family thatcan afford it procures the huge head of acow, which, in companywithpotatoesandonions, and all things savoury, is putwhole into what is called in Lancashire awashing mug, and coveted with a thickcrust of dough. This, when cooked,serves for a hearty meal on the fol-lowing Monday. Then the bones ofthe " keaw-yed," being well cleaned arebleached and preserved for next year'sceremonial of Monday, which we areabout to describe. Upon'that day, thebones of last year are fitted together inthe original shape of the ox's skull, andplaced in a cart that joinsaprocession ofsimilarly-laden vehicles. In front of all,mounted on a—it would be scarcelyseemlyto write anything save " palfrey"—rides the Lord Mayor, who has beenelectedof the colliery-suffrage of West-houghton a fortnight previously, and is aman of renown—inbeer-swilling at least.This high personage, in virtue of hisofficial position, possesses the privilege ofcalling for as much malt liquor as liechooses at every tavern in the township—all to be provided at the public ex-pense. Lord Mayor's Day at Ringley,a colliers' village not far from Bury,falls on Easter Monday. His Worshiphere is fastened lengthways to a longladder, and carried about and rearedhigh up against house walls by his elec-tors. This man holds his mayoral rankduring the whole ensuing year—that is,if he can, for thecondition of offica is thateach night he drink three quarts of beer(without payment) at the only threetaveras of Ringley. One failure—exceptindisposition, clearly devoid of "sham-ming," prevents, when a deputy, underhis Worship's hand and seal, may benamed—and a fresh election must takeplace. Radcliffhas its mayor's festival aswell ; but enough, we think, has beensaid to make our readers be sure thatbeer-drinking forms its chief symptom.xVnd what is the result of the collier's ca-rouse '? During the whole of to-morrowhe lies at his door dazed and muddled,and the next day, still near where thescraper ought to be, he sits on his heelsina littleless languidcondition.

The United States Treasury Depart-ment experts have recently performed adelicate and difficult task which is greatlyto their credit. Some time ago the ca-shier of abank in the interior of Penn-sylvania, becoming insane, threw a largemass of bonds, notes, and othersecuritiesbelongingto the bank into the tire. Theywere partially consumed, but the crazyact being discovered, the whole mass ofashes and charred remnants < f paperswas raked out, boxed-up, and sent^ tothe Treasury at Washington, that beingabout theonly recourse in such desperatecases.

EDINBURGH STREET ARCHITECTURE.(lIhe Architect.) IModem Edinburgh can perhapsboast |

of the dullest and most wearisome streetarchitecture in the world; it is a con-glomerate of nobly-proportioned well-built houses, whose distressinguniformityof design, seen street after street, makesthe beautifulstone enter, as it were, intoa man's soul. Londonhas no streets that,in either the liberalityof their planor intheir substantialbuild, can compare for aminute with several we could name inEdinburgh ; yet, somehow, if we exceptCockburn street, every house in which isspecially and variedly designed by thearchitects who laid it 'out, theirgeneraljaspect is melancholyand depressing to anunusual degree. George street, for ex-ample, has ever an inherent dulness,barely to ba describedby our saying thatnot even the Queen's progress along it to ;inspect, the other day, the site of the]intended Albertstitue, could putlife into 'it ; and yet George street, Edinburgh, isperhaps one of the finest streets in Eu-rope. Great King street, again, is a fine (well-built thoroughfare, of whose general'eiiect on the mind of the beholder we may jsay—" not too put too line a point on it "—it is altogether too architectural forpoor human nature. A thoughtfularchi-tect may indeed glean some useful lessonsin street-designingby a walk throughJ;heprincipal streets and squares of the HowTown of Edinburgh. Princes street, al-watys a fine promenade, with its grandviews of the Old Town and Castle liock,can scarcelybe called a "street." Picca-dilly, in London, does, in a small part ofits'course, boast of two sides—suchas they are—Prince 3 street, in Edin-burgh, never. As to the CastleRock, it is like the city it over-looks j neither architects nor builders,nor even worse than they, modern mili-tary engineers, can deprive it of its in-trinsic sublimity, &een from any point ofthe city. We mentionedCockburn streetjust now as a meritoriousexceptionto themonotony of Edinburgh new streets. Atthefoot of the CastleKock, Mr CouncillorGowans, who is, we believe, his owndesigner, has erected a new terrace oflofty town houses, whose incontinentnoveltyof design entitles them to a sharein the exceptionafforded by the ablyandmorecorrectly designed Cockburn streetof Messrs Peddieand Kinnear. " CastleTerrace"is indescribable in words; it is apetrified Brighton Pavilion,bristling withbay windows, loftyornate doimers, towers,domes, and vanes, whose every detail isextraordinary; no door, window, stringcornice, or palisade taking any hithertoknown architectural form. Mr Gowansis about to erect another long row oflarge houses, somewhat in extension or inrepetbion of this terrace. The entirecomposition may readily be conjecturedas liable to a blzzare, aspect, but the por-tion already built is an unquestionablerelief from the prosaic pattern of theEdinburgh streets ; and as they ali seemimperishable iv their constructiwn, MrGowans's pair of terraces will be certainto afford—may be with a crudity-conceal-ing vegetationon iheni—a bit of genuinenineteenth century architecture for the-sketch-book of the irrepressible New Zea-lander." They are quite as good, even intheir somewhat card-board detail, asAberdourCastle hard by, whoseminutestfeatures Mr Billings used for his fascinat-ing " Ecclesiastical and Baronial Anti-quities of Scotland."

GERMANS IN ENGLAND.( Gentleman's Maaazine.)

In England the Germans areno doubtgainingground enormously. Go whereyou will—east, west, north, or souththe well-known gutturals smite your ear.Our largest mercantile houses are Ger-man ; our best clerks and best (or at ailevents cheapest) workmen are now Ger-man ; we hear the languageconstantly inour streets, in our dining-houses, in ourshops, in our railway carriages, in ourtheatres—everywhere ; and men withscarcely pronounceable Germannames areconstantly cropping up in our news-papers as having writtenhere or agitatedthere, or as having appeared before theLord Mayor or a Commissioner atBasinghall street. And what will themerchant, the factory master, the largeshopkeeper say to you, if you ask himthe reason of this tremendous altex'ation IHe will tell you that these foreignerswork ; that they are, as a rule, to theuttermost conscientious, and instinctivelystudy their principal's interest beforetheir own ; that they are content toremain servants until by careful studyand stricc attention to business, theyhavelitted themselves to become masters ; andthat they do not often, as our youngstersdo, set tip to be masters long before, theyhave learned to be men, and so makefools of themselves. Go at night to thesmoke-dried houses where the Germanmerchants, and those who employ Ger-man labour, congregate ; turn downtowards Mincing and Mark Lanes, toTower street, and Falstaffian East-cheap, to where the East India Com-pany once had their vast lodging-house, and you will see, if you singleout brass-plates having German namesupon them, the Teuton clerk hard at it,driving his unwearyingpen, seldom coin-plaining, and never sulky, sitting thereasif the work before him wereall he had tothink of in the world, and the stool he isperched upon the summit of his earthlyambition. And look across the road, myfriend, and read, " for thou canst read,"by the gaslight, yonderotherbrass-plates,whose names—Jones, Smith, and Co.,Thomson, Brown, and Co., Robinson andCo.—cry aloud that theybelongto Britishfirms ; the windows are dark, and thesprightly youths who deign to attendduring a portion of the day, are nolongerthere, having left hours ago, and no doubtforgotten the "shop" for the evening.Their hearts and souls are most probablycentred in their own pursuits, the dutiestheir employers pay them to performbeingsecondaryat the most intheirestima-tion, andesteemed anunseeraingdrudgerywhich theirlot in life unfortunately entailsupon them, but which shouldbe dismissedfromtheirthoughts when, theclockstrikingfive, they put on their hats andturn theirbacks upon the City. Compare these dif-ferent classes of men, and wonder nolonger that the former is now generallypreferred ; and, above all, cease to won-der at the results of the last war inEurope. On the Corn Market, in theCommercial Sale Room, beneath thegrasshopper of the Royal Exchange, theBritish merchant no longer predominatesand reigns triumphant. In Throgmortonstreet, though heremore particularly of amosaic type, the German has his say, andis known as one of the 'cutest among themanyknowing ones haunting the neigh-bourhood of Capel and Angel courts. InAldgate hardly a fascia but bears someuncouth name, some unpronounceableBlitzenstein, Schkratzbacker, or Lump-hausen ; and as you gaze upon the scenetopped by the lolty gables of the ancienthouses, you almost fancy that you havebeen unconsciously reclining upon themagic carpet of Prince Boussain, andbeen suddenly transported to a street inancipnfc Hiidesheira, or into the -Jifflwt

THE SHAH'S EUROPEAN TOUR.

A Paris correspondent of the Daily Te-legraphrelates a conversation which hehad with Malcom Khan in the PalaisBourbon, formerly the official residenceof tho Presidentof the Corps Legislatif7in which His Excellency stated the im-pressions which the Persians had receivedby theirvisit to England :—

" Official receptions are everywherealike," said the Minister: " but I wasvery strongiy impressed by the earnestenthusiasm shown by all classes in Eng-land. This was the more gratifying inas-much as, thanks to professional agentswho have made it their business to sowdiscord between the two' countries, Eng-land andPersia have not been always onperfectly good terms. It is absurd to sup-posethat there wasany personal interest inthe demonstrationswe witnessed. Therecouldnot be anycalculation (calcut) intheenthusiasmof thepopulace. Andwhereverwe went it was the same thing. Peoplerushed after the carriages trying to shakehands with us. Was this calculation ?And in private society there was thesame feelingexpressed m a differentway.Even the ladies were most amiableto us.So kindly and gracious were they that Isometimes asked myself—are these con-sins, are they relation?, that they shouldexpresssuch sympathy I The Shah wasas much moved as he was surprised atthe manner in which he was everywherereceived. It was an Ivresse de satisfactionthat he experienced." Of the Queen'scordiality, MalcomKhan expressed him-self in the very warmest terms. " Therewas not only a noble dignity aboutHer Majesty, a perfect grace, but she.vas also distinguished by sound poli-tical sentiment He had heard that HerMajesty had become habituallydepressedsince her bereavement,but for hia ownpart he could not sufficiently admire thedignitied cordiality of her demeanour.Of all the Europeanmonarchs they had.seen, the Queen had most impressedthem." Lord Granville's genial nature,and the intellectual power of the Dukeof Argyll, " in spite of his mannerbeingat first somewhat seigneurial," alao re-ceived full recognition from the polishedPersian diplomat;. liefening to Baron.Renter's scheme, Mirza Malcom Khandeclared that, although the concessiongranted was " immense," he believed itwould be for the ultimate benefit ofPersia. "It was true that muchbetterterms might have been made, but some-thing of the kind had become absolutelynecessary, and it was far better to takeadvantageof a favourable opportunity ofimproving the country than to postponeimprovementfor some indefinite period.Besides there had been much opposition,and it was well to strike the iron while itwas hot. Everybody said that BaronRenter was an honest, trustworthy man,and Persia was anxious to prove her un-limited confidence m England by givingherunrestricted power overthe country."The Foreign Minister went on to say thatthe alternate day's rest from festivities inParis would be much prized by them, al-though their hits activity had done themno harm. For his own part, although he- was naturally of a weak constitution, andalthough he had had but very littlesleep of late, he had never beenin' better health. He looked for-ward with much pleasure to thevisit he was about to pay, in companywith tht Grand Vizier, to Lord Lyons,whom he had long known in Constanti-nople and in Paris. Malcom Khanspeaks Frenchwith extreme elegance,buthe took occasion to remark that he is ofthe true Persian origin, and is a native oi:Ispahan. His enlightenedreformation ofabuses in his own country, and his ulti-mate triumph over all interested opposi-tion, are t^o well-known to need allusionhere. Enough that, as he said himself,the Shah and all about him felt withequalintensity the delight so warmly ex-pressed by MalcomKhan in the receptiongivento themby the English people andtheir much-loved Queen.

THE MORMONS.The United States correspondent of the

Argas, in his last letter, gives the follow-ing informationaboutBrigham Youngandhis people :—

Mormon stock is once more on tlie de-cline. After exhibitinga zealand ardourworthy of the church militant itself, theMormons have lately assumedadecidedlydefensiveif nut altogetherpacificpolicy,and now aslc nothingso much as to be letalone. President lroung has lately re-turned from Arizona, where he is said tohave made a missionary or prospect-ing tour, with a view to form newcolonies of saints, or to find someout of the way spot where heand his chosen followers may escapethe harassuients of the Gentile world.This is, of course, denied by the Mor-mons. The inspired prophet failed tofind a spot beyond the reach of the ene-mies of the faith ; and common sensenowclearly demonstrates that therq is notwithin the limits of the vast continent ofNorth America a singlesection of countrywhere Young and his converts can feelisolatedfrom therest of the world. Utah—or, as it was originally and morepoetically named by its Mormon foun-ders, Deseret—• and more particularlythe city and suburbs of Salt Lakeit3elf, must therefore be the battle-ground upon which the fate of Mor-monism and of its chief corner-stone,polygamy, must be decided. Offshootsfrom the parent stem may, indeed, besuccessfully transplanted. New coloniesmaybe founded, and mayflourish awhile,as that at Nauvoo and Salt Lake havenourished, but the body of the peoplecannot be moved, and no one knows orappreciates the fact more fully than Brig-haiu Young himself, as his steadilyaccumulating hoards in the Bank of Eng-land give proof. His abiity and influenceas a Mormon leaderareonly exceededbyhis enterprise and sagacity as a man ofbusiness. Little room as there is todoubt his succesd in the past, there isstill less occasion to doubt his purposesand plans in the future. It is indeeddoubtful whether he willever feel com-pelled to leave Salt Lake, butshould thatnecessity arise there is no fear ofhis leaving it empty -handed ; butwealthy and powerful as he is, itseems he labours under the universalinfirmity of human want. To a visitorfrom the outside or Gentile world, whorecently called at the "Zion Mansion,"on his way through Salt Lake, he ex-pressed a great wish to visit the ViennaExhibition, and on being asked why hedid not go, said he "could not afford it,"that "he could not go and feel comfort-able with any of his family left behind,and that to take them all he would re-quire a whole ship to himself."

The proprietors of the New York DailyGraphic have entered into a contract withProfessor John Wise to build for him aballoon, in which he is to attempt to crossthe Atlantic, with the hope of reachingEngland or Ireland in sixty hours fromthe time of departure, TheGraphic is topay for the construction of the balloon,and all the expensesof the outfit, Th.9whole cost .of the HWtetfiifciAg wil| fed

A GERMAN WEDDING.

A correspondent of an English papertlius describes a German wedding a^.which he was presentrecently :—"I sup.pose," said I to Yon Sudeck, as we weresmoking our post-prandial cigars, onThursdaymorning—*' I suppose thatonewill have to put on the usual thing to-day —iiock - coat and light trousers '?"" What V I repeated my question. "Mydear mister,where have you been broughtup 1 Do you not know that it is dorigucur to wear evening dress at weddings V ' And so at half-past eleven on aa grilling July morning I started forRavensbergin swallow-tail coat, dancingpumps, and gibus. We arrived late, anddx'ove at once to the village church, justbelowthe castle, and found it very full,at one end, of gentlemenand ladies, look-ing as if they had stepped out of aball-room ; and at the otherend, ofpeasants,with an air of having juat cleaned outtheir respective pigstyes. Now, thoughthealtarand littlechancelwereprettilyde-coratedwith flowers, and thoughthebridewas chafmingand the companybrilliant,the ceremony was anything but imposing,and-, like a true Englishman, I drewmental comparisons between it and thatH: our ownchurch. First, we stood allthe time ; secondly, the service seemed asort of ornamental framefor the discoursewhich the officiating minister pronoxmcedfrom the altar ; and I was never moreglad in my life thanwhen the bridegroomkissed his wife—anexamplewhich seemedgeneral—and the ceremony was over.We walked np the stone steps to thecastle, and found the oride and bride-groom in the drawing-room, waiting toreceive our congratulations. Then fol-lowed whatwe should call the weddingbreakfast, but what was here styled thedinner. What a number of toasts weredrunk—what clinkingof glasses,and whatshoutingof "Hochi" Everyonewho couldmade a speech, and not a few in verse.Suddenly the first bestman(I say first, forin Germany there areas many best menas there arebridesmaids) approached thebride and pretended to find her garter,though the latterwhen found proved tobe a long row of blueribbon, stamped onevery inch with the bride's initials andthe date, and which she proceeded to cutup and distribute to thecompany. Afterdrinking to " The nest bride of the nameof s——^ provocative of much laughteramong the young ladies, the newlymar-tied couple drove off in an open carriage,saluted by a volley of shoes as inFinland.We thenreturned to the hall to decidethe all-important fact of who was to bemarried next, andin thefollowingway :—A. lady, blindfolded, and armed with abunch of ilowers from the bride's dress,is surrounded by all theunmarried ladies,who dance round her in a ring. Suddenlyshe claps her hands, and the maidenwhomshe touches receives the bouquetand the distinction. The same ceremonyis then gone through by the bachelors,when thefated pairdance togetheramidstthe applause of all.

COLLECTING WILD ANIMALS FORTHE ENGLISH MARKET.

A Singaporepaperwrites :—"For sometimepast an emissary from Mr Jamrachthe celebrated proprietor of menageries,has been staying in Singapore. Thebusiness which, brought him here is topurchase specimens of the /eras naturteindigenous to the Malay Peninsula andsurrounding countries. The result of hisexertions .may be seen at the yard at-tached to the Hotel de la Paix, whereareassembled the animals and birds ob-tained up to the present time. These of■themselves form a curious and very inter-esting collection, that has attracted anumber of visitors. The gentlemanincharge most courteously exhibits thecreatures to those desirousseeing them,and the amusement to be derived from avisit more than repays the trouble in-volved, as will beevidentfrom the follow-ing list : Four large male and femaletapirs from Malacca, two cassowariesfrom Macassar, three Victoria crownedjngeons from th.3 Celebes, two orang-outangs, two black parrots, a blackpanther, a young female elephant, abearfrom Borneo, and apair of Borneo fire-back pheasants. Of the above, the pan-ther, which is a very snarling, ferocious-looking customer, and the elephant,were purchased from H.H. the Ma-harajah of Johore. Young Bruin is acomical-looking, ' festive littlecuss,' withalready a tendencyto practical joking. Ashort while ago he slipped his collar, andgetting into a house where were someyoung children, evinced his playful ten-dencies by a desire to rub noses withthem. The timid owner of the houseran for the two revolvers he keeps be-neath his pillow, but before he had timeto uncase them, Master Bear's keepercame up, and rescued his protege fromimpending destruction. The little crea-ture looks as harmless and innocent as apuppy. We hear that these animals,with a rhinoceros or two expected nextweek, willbe shippedfor Englandby thenext steamer of the Ocean SteamshipCompany; and inaddition to them, MiJamrach's agent has entered into a con-tract with two local Nimrods (MessrsFernandezBrothers), to'huni and buy upwithin the next six months eight livespecimens of each of the following ani-mals, viz., rhinoceri, tapers, tigers, andblack panthers, and sixteen male andfemale argus pheasants. The hunters forthe rhinoceri have a number of pits dugfor entrapping these animals into which,if they fall, that ardent naturalist, MrFrank Buckland, will probably ero longhave the pleasure of chronicling the birthof another ' cockneyrhinoceros.'

STUMBLING HORSES.

[Pall Mall Gazette.)The lamentable accident which caused

the death of the Bishop of Winchesterwillperhaps call attentionto a danger towhich all riders are liable, but whichmany of them entirely overlook. It can-not fail to strike any one who looks backto what maybetermed "horseaccidents,"that in nine cases out of ten the stumb-ling of a horse is the cause of the catas-trophe. For one person who iskilled bya horserunning away, orby any inherentvice in the animal, ten are killed by astumble. In the case of the Bishop ofWinchester it was the road and not thehorse that was the origin of the misfor-tune, but it often happens that horsesused as hacks,are utterly unfit, by reasonof feebleness or some other defect intheir legs or feet, for riding purposes.No one who understands horses can see ariding-master followedby abevy of youngladie3 en weedy-looking animals who canhardly lift their hoofs from the ground,and mayat any moment trip overastone,bringing their riders to the ground, with-out feeling that a canter over a macad-amizedroad under such circumstances isa far more dangerousexploit than a stee-plechase. It cannot be too strongly im-pressed on those who are inexperiencedin these matters that there are few qua-lities so indispensablein a hack as that of£ing "surefooted.*"'

BILLIARDS IN AMERICA.

The New York Herald thus describesthe close of abilliard matchbetween Dalyand Gamier, two well-known Americancueists:—"As Gamier stooped to aimfor the twenty-third shot, a big-headedblackguard in the southern aisle hissedhim to disconcert him. Gamier stoodup, looked toward him, played the shotand counted. He stooped into positionfor his twenty-fourth, and the ruffianagain hissed. Somebody said aloud," Shut that man's mouth !" Gamiermade the shot. lie played again, andthe skulking hisser hissed again. Theshot counted, and the loafer left. ''Onemore shot and he wins !" The positionwas a difficult angled shot on balls in thelower right corner and middle of thetable. Gamier played and missed thesecond ball by a hair. Gamier lookedhorrified, when suddenly it waa seen thathisball, which hadbeenplayedswiftly,wascomingbackfrom therightupper corner. Itcounted on the second ball, and a wildyellof exultation went up as Gamierwasproclaimed " winner" on the "scratch."He leaped into the air, and the next in-stant Gayitthad him in his arms, liftedhim from thefloor, and swunghim aroundin a transport of joy. Gamiernippedhislegs around Gavitt's body, and threw hisarms up. Then, as Gavitt let go hishold,Cyrille Dion picked Gamier up, thecrowdbroke into the arena, and the humof voices drowned everything. A crowdcarried Gamier away. He was as weakas a kitten from the terrible nervousstrain he had been subjected to, and hadto partakefreely 6f stimulants on reach-ing his rooms. In justice to Daly, it mustbe stated that he acted like a gentlemanthroughout, and neither encouraged nordesired the annoyances that were givenGamier.

TALKERS.(Liberal Review.)

There are two kinds of the talkativeman. The one is well educated; theother" is not. The educatedrepresenta-tive reads, and lets all the worldknowthat he does so. Though he never, per-haps, givesutterance to a gem of originalthought, he quotesvery largely from poetsand classical authors, so that no one canbe excused for not knowing that he isthoroughly acquainted therewith. Hisgreat erudition, he seems to imagine,firmly establishes his claim to a positionof superiority, and so he takes one,except when there is apossibilityof beingchallenged by a more powerful man thanhimself. The uncultivated talkerrarelygives poets and classical authors athought ; indeed, he has rather a con-tempt for them. The newspaperfurnisheshimwith as much literature as he cares tohave. He scorns what is theoretical,and swears by that which is practical.Though he would not be entrapped intodiscussing a Homeric legend, he willtalkunceasingly of the political situationand the prospects of trade. The learnedtalker haunts conversaziones, drawing-rooms, and wherever else he imagines hecan geta crowd of apparently accomp-lished people, who are really, however,surprisingly ignorant, to listen to him.The "practical" man is to be found inless aristocraticplaces, and he endeavoursnot so much to air his extensive know-ledge as to prove that whatever he says iscorrect, and that he is able accurately toforecast the future. Both are disagree-able as companions. They either arouseia you a combative feeling, or make youappreciateyour own weakness and inferi-ority, which is by no means a pleasantthingto do.

A FASHIONABLE FUNERAL INNEW YORK.

A correspondent of the New York Heraldwrites :—

As some persons residing elsewhere maynot know what extravagance in money aswell as in manner now obtains at city fune-rals, we will state that we attended one re-cently in NewYorkcity; where the deceased—a young lady of about twenty-five yearsofage— had her face painted by an artist toco^er the places blackened where mor-tification had set in ; her hair curledand decorated by a professional hair-dresser ; her wedding dress, en train, con-spicuously wrapped around her person ;her hands encased in delicate white kidgloves and holdinga bridalbouquet; flowerson her coffin, beneath it, and on the floor forseveral feet around, forming a perfect laby-rinth of floral wealth, fashioned into crosses,anchors, hearts, broken columns, &c, &c,and over and around all thesewere burningmyriads of gas jets gaily illuminating theparlours, which had been darkened for theoccasion by closing the windows. Hundredsof persons were there who neverknew thedeceased or any member of thefamily, butwho came out of mere idle, morbid curiosity,and to help to fill the scores of carriagescomposing thefuneral cortege.

It is stated, says the Daily News, thatthe experiment of light cables to the UnitedStates willshortly be practically tested, ar-rangements to enable Mr H. Hightonto laya cableacross the Atlantic being in activeprogress. Mr Highton'a new cable is not tocost above£100,000,and if it be successfullylaid telegrams betweenEurope and Americamay in future cost less inpence than theydonow in shillings.

Iv the English Courts, Lord Westbury, ifgossip and numerous stories can be trusted,was often supremelycontemptuous, so muchso as on one occasion before Baron Alderson,one of thefew men in England intellectuallyhis equal, to have provoked the Baron tobeg him to remember that "the Court is avertebrate animal, and ought not to be ad-dressed in the style that God Almightymight be expected to speak to a blackbeetle."

The Scotsman, 12th. July, says :—"Themural monument of the late Rev. DrGuthrie, the model of which was recently

1described in these columns, has now beenexecutedin white marble by the sculptor,Mr Win. Brodie, R.S.A., and will, in thecourse of next month, be placed in thechurch of Free St. John's, of which thelamented divine was for many years theeloquent and distinguishedminister. Thememorial, which is a remarkably fine workof art, bears the following inscription :—•To the memory of the Rev. ThomasGuthrie, D.D., born 12th July, 1803. died24th February 1873, first minister of thischurch from its erection in the year 1845—♦'an eloquentman and mighty in the Scrip-tures"—this tablet is dedicated by hisattachedcongregationandadmiringfriends.'"

An extraordinary statement as to theprofits of coal-owners is reported inthe Dur-ham County Advertiser. A feeble lookingman was summoned for breach of contract.Mr Dickinson, head-overman at MessrsSmith's colliery, Langley, gave the manwork for charity, but the man wentawaywithout notice, and stayed away sev*eral days. The sum of £6 was claimed ascompensation. The following observationswere made in Court :—•'• The Magistrates'Clerk (Mr Waton)—It is absurd to talkaboutclaiming such a large amount from a manlike that. What is the minimum profit youwould get from his labour for a fortnight?Witness—£6. The Clerk—What! out of aman like that ? Witness—Yes. The Clerk—Then what is the minimum profit you de-rive Irom ah ordinary pitman ? Witness—He wouldbe a very ordinaryman indeed ifwe did not get £18 profit. The Clerk-Then, from what you say, howeverhigh pit-men's wagesmay be at present, I think theyBXQ too low yet/ ' ' '

MISCELLANEOUS.

A greatcontroversy has been going on ina certain country village in England as towhether plates or purses should be used inthe collections. The dispute was so bitterthat no money was collected for some time;but now a compromise has been effected;each collector carries a plate and a purse,and thus the scruples of each section of thecongregation are quieted. Unprejudicedpeople are of course at liberty to drop coinintobothreceptacles.

According to General Clareton's report onthe new organisation of the French army,the difficultyof obtaining the requisite num-ber of horses for the cavalry and artillerywillbe met, it is hoped, by the establish-lisment of a "horse conscription" as in Ger-many. All disposablehorses will be regis-tered, and, incase of need, they willbe takenup at a fixed price.

On a recent day the inhabitants of Shep-herd's Bush, London, were startled in theirusual quietudeby a most extraordinary leapcf a young lady from a third-tlour window,and her more extraordinary escape from in-stant death. The young lady, whilst labour-ing under mental aberration, jumpedfrom aheight of nearly 50 feet, crashing throughthe blind of a shop, and tearing away itsfastenings, thus breaking her fall; andstrange to relate, walked to a cab, whichconveyed her to St. George's Hospital, notmuch hurt, having thus narrowly escapedaninquiry by the Coroner. Great excitementprevailed in the district.

At Newcastie-on-Tynean attempt is to bemadeto give an imposing effect to a newpolice-court in progress of erection at thatplace by ranging alung the front of thebuilding four colossal figures representingJustice, Truth, Mercy, and Peace—attri-butes supposedtobe appropriatelyassociatedwith the purposes for which the buildingis intended. Tnese statues have just beencompleted, and will, it is expected, whenraised on their,pedessals, produce a pleasingeffect.

Excavations lately conducted at Ratisbon,on the site of• a former Carmelite convent,have laidbare an important Roman inscrip-tion about ten feet long, formerly formingpart of a chief gateway, and so far complete,although the end is missing, that its generalpurport may be clearly made out. Fromthis it appears that the so-called RomanCastle—anancient citadelof the place—wasbuilt under the orders of Marcus Aurelius,and was executed by Marcus Helvius Cle-mens, then Legate of the Roman Empire,residing at Augsburg, which was the seat ofa Provincial Government, corresponding ap-parentlynearly to the modernKingdom ofBavaria. The record states that the wallwas built completewith towers and gates—ofwhich indeed antiquaries have long ob-served the traces. •
