Thus, to continue the programme would be unsafe, and the Fenians are at their wits ends. The high handshownby the British Government lias not been a moment too soon, and the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament have arrested what gave promise of endangering the lives, and destroying the property of people who have had nothing whatever to do with any bye-gone oppression of Ireland. Leaving this unpleasant question, we find that the same old story has been brought across the seas of the poverty that exists amongst the laboring classes through the scarcity of labor, this time not only in England, but in Paris. It is evident that there is only one cure for this state of things, and that is for tliOße who are able and willing to work, to go out to either one or other of the British Colonies, where the harvesttruly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Since the mail was despatched, however, better news has been cabled, to the effect that England gives promise of entering upon an era of prosperity. We hope there are some reasonable grounds for the statement. The French people appear tohave become quite enthusiastic over the Channel tunnel question, and take no heed of the opposition shown against it on the English side of the water. Though it may not be just yet, the time is not far distant when the two Nations willbe united by a railway under the sea. One other matter, and we have done. It must be gratifying to New Zealanderß to find that a deeper interest than ever is being manifested in England in the welfare of this Colony. It is surprising how many years have passed away, during which thousands of England's sons and daughters have emigrated here, without New Zealand being better known at Home. It is only just now the knowledge of her natural resources is being spread throughout the Old World. " The fact is, to use an old quotation, Water will find its level," and by this we mean, in spite of opposition, this Colony is now asserting itself, and showing how rich, fertile, and productive it is. During late years a great number of old colonists have visited the land of their fathers, and, like men risen fromthe dead, they have told of the beauties and glories of the world they have been inhabiting, andthe people, after listening, haveexclaimed in the language of one of old, that the half had not before been told them. We believe, with increased direct steam communication, the returnof old settlers, and the supplies we arenow sending Home, that the time is not far distant when a great commercial trade willarise between this Colony and England. We shall doubtless yet require a great deal more of the abundance of money England possesses, but in return we shall send there food to feed the over-teamingpopulation,and we shall provide desirable homes for those who make up their minds to come here and dwell in theland. CLOSED DOORS. enquiries to-day why and wherefore the doors of the room wherein the Harbor Board in solemn conclave assembled were last night closed and bolted, thereby preventing the public from gaining access to the chamber. Probably there are times and seasons when such a precautionary measure should bo adopted, but recourse to it should only be exercised under the most exceptionable circumstances, and when questionshave to be debatedin committee by which publicity would endanger the public welfare. Many have been the A3 a rule, hole-and-corner proceedings are regarded with a great deal of suspicion, and few causes gain any advantage by being discussed inprivate. After thepublic transaction of the routine business, the matter last night under consideration, with closed doors, was the letter of Messrs. Common, Shklton & Co., inviting the Harbor Board to submit their claims to arbitration, and by such means to Bettle for ever this vexedquestion. After a long discussion, the doora were again thrown open, when a draft resolution was submittedto the effect that while the Board did not altogetherignore Messrs. Common, Shelton & Co.'s interests, they may possibly settle the matter between themselves without the aid of arbitrators, and the Board enquired of Mr. Shelton', who had entered the chamber, if the Board did all in their power to keep them in possession of their premises at a rental to be agreed upon, until the site should be requiredfor harbor reclamation purposes, if that would meet their views. To this proposal Mr. Shelton objected, on the ground that they might be ousted in two or three years. This course having failed, the Board enquired if Messrs. Common, Shelton & Co. could suggest any other way of settling the difficulty without resorting to arbitration, but the only effect this appealhad was to cause Mr. Shelton to again refer the Board to the letter before them. Ultimately it was agreed that the further discussion should stand adjourned until this evening, for the purpose of allowing the members time for further consideration, willi the view to frame some proposal, which, we trust, will set the matter at rest satisfactory to all parties concerned. We certainly declare in favor of the deliberations of the Board being conductedin public. This is a public question, and should not be discussed in private.

The usual monthlymeeting of the School Committee will take place to-night. There was a meeting of the Vestry of Holy Trinity Church last evening to con- sider the tenders for the new parsonage. Ittranspired that there had been a misapprehension as to the alleged discrepancy between the architect's estimate and the lowest tender which proved to be about L7O. It was ultimately decided to make some slight alterations, and call for fresh tenders both here and in Napier. Our East Coast Correspondent writes from Waipiro, under date April 30th, that Mr John Harding, for many years lessee of the Tawhiti Hotel, retires this week, it is said to take the management of Mr J. N. Williams' run. Mr Harding's successor ia believed to be Mr White, for some time known as manager for Messrs Somerville ami Haig. Settlers generally along the coast regret Mr Harding's retirement from that hostelry, but nevertheless congratulate him on his appointment. Colonel Whitmore and Captain Porter's recent visit to the Coast appears to have been satisfactory from various standpoints. Mr Scott, native dispenser, has recently arrived at Waipiro from Waiapu.

The worshippersat Holy Trinity Church on .Sunday evening were entertained with a selection of music not provided for in the programme of the evening's service. Mr liast sat at the organ, the congregation were at ease in their pews listening intently to the words of the clergyman announcing what meetings were to take place during the week ;in the midst of which the organ struck up business ou its own account. Every eye was at once directed towards the instrument, the bellows boy at the moment enjoying a snoose, the organist lookedamazed, aud the members of the choir suddenly bethought themselves that the minister hadgiven out the hymn, and they had overlookedthe fact. Still the organ pealed forthits notes, and yet there were no signs of human agencies being at work. What could it be ? Was it the sound of the last trump, and had Gabriel really brought the summons ? In rapid succession each worshipper asked himself a nurrber of questions, but no definite solution of this extraordinary freak of the organ could be arrived at, until an investigation was made, and the fact was revealed that the sounds hadbeen caused by no spirit or human hand, but, to quote "it was Dick Deadeye in "Pinafore" the cat." Yes, a pussy had entered the hunting apoor half-famchurch, and whilst ished church mouse that had sought amof bush within the precincts the organ, had unconsciously, in the chase round the interior of the musical machine stepped upon a succession of"keys, and " so produced music, which is dethe unaccountable scribed as none the less harmonious than a cat-a-wauling. — SOCIAL DISTINCTIONS. behaved yourself infamously.

Sarah, I said, with that solemnity the subject demanded, there must be social distinctions in this world. ask, approve of the wife of a Would you, I man who sells his teaby the box to associate with the wife of a man who sells the same article by the pound ? Should a woman who keeps a servant that washes her husband's shirts take tea with another woman who does his washing herself ? A sheep-owner goes to a butcher, and persuades him to buy a smalllot of sheep, and they have a drink together over it ;but is he not of very much finer material than the man who turns his sheep into legs and shoulders of mutton? Would itbe pi-oper for the two men's wives to be on visiting terms. The butcher's wife may perhaps havebeen well born, reared, and educated; the other may not possess any of these qualifications ;but then, her husband sells his sheep by the carcase, and theother only when they are cut into joints. No, Sarah, Icant say whether your late mistress was a lady or not, so much depends on circumstances. Iknow that a short time back, when two persons, a gentleman and his wife, came to settle in (Jisborne, there was a discussion between two ladies whether these should be called upon. One said that for her own part she should not think of doing so till she had seen what sort of furniture was going into the house. The first thing was n piano, when the two ladies immediately afterwards left their cards. Ifthe piano had been a mangle or washing machine, of course they would not so have lowered themselves, which, Sarah, my girl, was quite the right anil proper thing to do. Your late mistress may be a lady notwithstanding, as you say,thatshespellssoap s-o-p-e,andcandles with two d's. Itdepends on her furniture and whether she keeps a servant to use the soap which she mis-spels. You should never be bitter against society. You don't know what you may come to yourself some of these days. Perhaps you may turn up a lady, andbe called upon. ARRIVAL OF THE SAN FRANCISCO MAIL.

Professors Walker and Tucker, of Auckland University, were out boating, when the boat capsized. Walker was drowned, and Tucker only got ashore with great difficulty. Later. Professors Tucker and Walker, of Auckland University, accompanied by a lad named Byddi-r, son of the proprietorof the Northumberland BoardingHouse, were out for a sail in an open boat, yesterday afternoon, and when near Ponsonby Reef, and about 100 yards from the shore, the boat gave a lurch, and Professor Walker fell spralling to leeward with his arms over the gunwale. The boy swam ashore, telling the Professors to strike out if they could swim. Tucker swam to the boat, and held on, but when he looked round he could not see Walker, who must have gone down. Three boys put off and saved Tucker from the boat in an insensible condition. He soon recovered. The search for Walker's body was unsuccessful. He was single, aged 26, and had only arrived by the Rotomahana a fortnight ago. He was to have accepted the chair of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics in Auckland University.

An authorised lexicon decides an Esquire to be, "A shield bearer, or armour bearer; an attendant on a knight." But, although we have in thepresent day neither shield bearer, nor armour bearer, we have milgo lions of Esquires. For instance, if I into a shop, we will say in (Jisborne, and order a couple of Crimean shirts or a bag of sugar, or a small box of tea, the bill comes in to me, addressed J. Snyder, Esq. If Itake no notice of the bill, which is generally the case with me, Iget a civil request to pay it, but theaddress is still J. Snyder, Esqr. Itreat the second notice with contempt, as Ithink it should be, when I receive a threat to place the matter in the hands of a lawyer. As an Englishman, Iobject to being bullied, and let the affair take its course. After a time Iget what is called a lawyer's letter, demanding payment,with the charge added for writing such letter. This time Iam addressed simply as Mr J. Snyder. Itreat the letter with utter indifference, and byand-bye Iam served with a summons, addressed,not as anEsquire,nor as a Mister, but simply and unaffectedly as J. Snyder. Now,why do 1ceasetobe anEsquirebecause Irefuse to pay an account,"or am not able to do so, and become plain Mr." whenan insolent demand is made on me, which is again narroweddown to no handle to my name when the law takes me in charge.

Some three months ago itold you of thehigh pressurecompetition to whichnewspapers had come here two morning and three eveningjournals, to bay nothing of weeklies. This sort of thing palpably could not go on for long, and last week the smash came. The shareholdersowning theEvening Telegraph discovered that instead of paying the expenses of their enterprising paper, they had lost, on a year's operations,between five and six thousand pounds. At the same time, the owners of the Piest, of which the Evening Globe is an oflishoot, found that the Globe had been too much reduced by the competition of the 2Wegraph to make it worth the expense and trouble of printing. The twoparties came together, and the transaction which followed resulted in the purchase and virtual extinction of the Telegraph by theproprietors of the Press and Globe. Itis true that the name Telegraph has been re* tamed for the Press's evening issue in preference to that of the Globe; but the paper is the Telegraph only in name. Its matter is that of the old Globe, namely, an almost complete reprint of the Press. The skin is Esau's, but the voice Jacob's. ihe moral of this affair is plain enough, and may be interesting to some of yourreaders. Itis that no newspaper, however enterprising, well con* ducted, and powerfully backed, can be madeto pay unless there is room for it, andbusiness sufficient to support it in the placein whichitis started. The 1elegrapk ownedamongst its shareholderssome of the soundestand strongest capitalists in Christchurch :it was lavishly fed with money, was wellprinted and writtenfor, and well editedby Mr. Twopeny (late of theInter* national Exhibition).
