Captain O'Shea, though he names in his divorce suit Mr. C. S. Parnell as co respondent, does not claim damages from the petition specifies the acts of adultery to have been committed by Mr. Parnell from April, 1886, to the date of the petition, at Eltham, at 34, York terrace, the residence of Mrs. O'Shea, at Regent's Park, at Brighton, at Caldenton, and at Sussex. It is said that the scandal had long been known in London, that in fact it was so old that it had not even been talked about there for some months past. It was well known to a certain newspaper that whenever Parnell was missing, he could be found at Captain O'Shea's house at Eltham, and he was interviewed there on condition that his 'accident should be kept secret. Mr. Parnell makes a denial regarding this matter in the Dublin Freeman's Journal on December 30th, and says that he has received no notice of being co-respondent in such a suit; that since 1880, when he resided in Captain O'Shea's house at Eltham, he was frequently there when Captain O'Shea was absent, but the captain was cognizant of his being there. He declares that Mr. Houston, secretary of the Loyal and Patriotic League, instigated Captain O'Shea to bring the proceedings for a divorce in order to diminish the damages in his (Mr Parnell's) libel suit against The Times. Mr. Houston has written a letter stating he had no knowledge of the action taken by Captain O'Shea until he saw the announcement of the divorce case published in the news papers. The Court of St. James will wear mourning for three weeks for the Late Empress Theresa of Brazil.

Premier Tirard has sent a circular letter to the Chambers of Commerce throughout France asking those bodies if they would support a bill giving women engaged in any trade the right to vote at elections for Judges of commercial tribunals. Miss Sterling entered a case of lions at Bezieres on January 7th supposing the animals were hypnotized and harmless, and but for the interference of the lion tamer she would have been torn to pieces. As it was, she was badly lacerated. She made a second attempt a few days after, and a lion inflicted still more serious injury, and one of her legs had to be amputated. Evidence was discovered recently concerning Olga Goutschiareuiks, a young and beautiful girl, with the Nihilist plot at AVarsaw to assassinate the Czar. The Chief of Police attempted to arrest her on January 10th, when she shot him dead and blew out her own brains.

Correspondence. The Editor does not hold himself responsible for opinions oppressed by correspondents, ECONOMY. Sir, — It appears that economy is the order of the day in connection with the Harbor Board. With your permission, I might suggest to that body how a great saving could be effected. The Board may not be aware that a substantial dividend has been obtained from the last contracts of the retaining walls and sections of the breakwater, which I consider the contractors were well entitled to, considering the risk incurred, and hope the present contractors will net a good profit. I would suggest that the remaining portion of the breakwater be completed by day labor, and that a concrete mixer be procured, thus saving the labor of about 14 men, as six men with the mixer will make eight concrete blocks per day, whereas 20 men are required to make the same number with shovels. Though not an engineer, I consider that concrete worked by the mixer is more substantial than by turning over with shovels. To carry out my suggestion, the Board would not require any extra officials. The clerk of works has to superintend the mixing of the concrete, and if a mixer was at work, the mixing would require no watch ing, and the clerk of works could super intend the laying of the blocks, etc. Before the Board accepts any tenders for the next section of breakwater, I should advise them to consider this matter, and save a few thousand pounds.—! am, &c., Old Shark. MISPLACED CHARITY. Your correspondent might have gone further. When the husband of the woman referred to died, she got £20 from a benefit society, which laid at a district meeting voted a further sum, and there was also a subscription raised at the time, and yet another list has been taken round. Besides being able to keep a servant, and a boarding house in a freehold property, she was recently able to take a trip to Wellington. She also has a relative who has close upon £6 a week salary. —l am, &c, NAPIER BOROUGH COUNCIL. Wednesday, February 5. Present—His Worship the Mayor (Mr. G. H. Swan), and Crs. Faulkner, Al'Vay, T. Sidey, Welsman, and Rohjohns. CORRESPONDENCE. The following correspondence was dealt with: From Dr. Innes, reporting that a connection recently made with the main drain and a cottage owned by him in Tilton Street had proved to be effective and unhealthful, and asking permission to employ a bricklayer other than the Corporation contractor, to remedy the defects. — Messrs Wilson and Cotteull also wrote on behalf of Dr. Innes, giving notice that he would hold the Corporation responsible for the damage done to his property, due to the defective work of Mr. Edser, Corporation contractor. — The overseer reported that the drain had not been laid by the Corporation contractor, but by a former occupant of the premises. All that Mr. Edser had done was to alter a connection with the drain, and as he was not acting in his capacity as Corporation contractor he did not charge schedule rates, nor was the work done under the supervision of the Council's officers. The overseer reported that a new branch must be laid at once, and suggested that it should be laid to the boundary of the section at the expense of the Corporation. — The Town Clerk said he had sent a copy of the report to Dr. Innes. From Mr. D. Kirkpatrick, complaining that the borough valuer had subdivided his section in Waghorne Street, to increase the rates, though the owner had never subdivided it. — The valuer explained that he considered the valuation too low. — Copy of the explanation to be sent to Mr. Kirkpatrick. From R. Williams, borough valuer, tendering his resignation. Accepted, the Public Works Committee to report what steps should be taken to appoint a successor. From the Mayor, recommending that Messrs H. Williams and Sons' offer to construct a water-cart for £63 be accepted. This letter had been sent round to coun cillors, and all had signed in favor except Crs. M'Vay, Neal, and Faulkner. — Or. M'Vay explained that he objected to sign because he did not like that way of doing business, and because the tender was considerably in excess of the estimate. — Or. M'Vay explained that he objected to sign because he did not like that way of doing business, and because the tender was considerably in excess of the estimate. Faulknor objected because he held that the low-pressure water-supply should be extended to the Spit before a cart was brought.— The Mayor explained that it had been agreed to use the high-pressure supply for the remainder of this summer. He agreed with some of Cr. M'Vay's remarks, but urged that this was an exceptional case. He had seen the Eng lish price for a similar cart, and the tender seemed to him a reasonable one. F"rom Mr W. Amner, asking for return of £20 deposit on his contract, his sureties being Messrs J. Close and C. Palmer. — From Messrs Tait and Mills, a similar request.— Deposits to be returned. From Mr H. Stevens, offering a lime stone quarry in Milton-road for sale for £50.— Referred to Public Works Com mittee. From the Town Clerk, Melbourne, for warding copy of City bye-laws. From the Registrar- General, askiug for certain information as to inhabited houses in the borough, &c. — To be forwarded. From Messrs Lyndon and Sidey, com plaining that they could not get particu lars of the requirements of the Council with reference to the new roads on the Fitzgerald estate. — The overseer reported on the alterations he considered necessary, conditions as to metalling, &c.~- The Town Clerk said he had forwarded a copy of the report to Messrs Lyndon and Sidey. From Mr C. D. Kennedy, forwaiding plans of roads and rights-of-way on the Mount Alloway estate. Tho vendors had decided to abandon the making of one right-of-way. — The overseer recommended that the offer should be accepted if a guarantee of the cost of niakkig the right-of-way when required were given. It was not now lequircd, and to make it would involve the cuttiug down of n number of handsome trees. — On the motion of Cr. M'A'ay it was decided to agree to the modification if the estimated cost of making the right-of-way (£10) were deposited with the Town Clerk. KEI'OKTS. The waterworks engineer repotted the machinery in good oi tier, and that theie bait been 467 hours' pumping in January, the fuel burned being 19 tons Scwt 3qrs of coal and 150 bags of coke. The road overseer reported on the pro gress ot works as follows : — The 6-iuch .sewers in Thompson-road and in Priestley road had been completed, aud also Ihe 9-inch sewer in Faraday-street. The storm-water sewer extension was completed with the exception of some trifling works. The public weather had been re-erected, and the general work of the borough carried out. The cab inspector reported in favor of retaining the cab stand in front of the Post office, and against removing it to Browning-street as had been proposed. Overseer's recommendations. The overseer made the following reports and recommendations: 1. Mr. Dolhcl's letter.— This complaint referred to surface repairs on Delhi-mud, which are now being effected. 2. Salt water for street watering.— The only means of obtaining such water for this purpose is by the erection of woodmilla with storage tanks attached, the expense of which would be about £100 each. Two would be required. Lifting by means of a Californian pump is impractical, owing to the height of the cart. An incline into the water at the loading place would also be necessary, and would necessitate two horses to start the load. 3. Gladstone-road. — To form this road 2ift as suggested by the committee, and met with a meeting with a committee consisting of the consuming committee. 1. I will be in a position in about a week's time to enter upon the drainage works authorized last meeting. 2. The roads throughout the borough are in good condition, and require No outlay at present. Would recommend that it be taken over. Have a road. — Would recommend that it be taken over. Have a road. — Would recommend that a small portion of this road be formed up and metalled, and that a small portion of town section No. 45, on the corner, be purchased to do away with the sharp and dangerous ankle. This was inspected by the committee, and the works here mentioned were considered necessary. CAIDHIVEHS. The Mayor brought before the Council the case of a cabman named Page, who had been charged with an attempt to commit suicide, and who had had two convictions for drunkenness endorsed on his license. His Worship thought that this was a matter which required the Council's earnest attention, as the public welfare demanded that persons who were careless or intemperate should not be allowed to hold licenses as cab drivers. It was pointed out that Page had been once before warned. In the suggestion of Crs. Sidey and M'Vay, it was decided to give Page one more chance, but that should he again get intoxicated, his license should be at once cancelled. It was also decided to ask the Pros to make it known that in future, in all cases where the police reported the intoxication or gross careless ness of a cabman, the Council would refuse to allow the offender to hold a license. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The Public Works Committee recommended as follows: — Clauso I.— That the following clauses of the overseer's recommendation report be adopted and authorized: — 1, Dolbel's loiter; 3, G'ad stone-road; 4, Ueach road. Clause 2 — That the following clauses of the same report be defended until the next meeting of the committee: — 2, watering streets; 5, and G, sundries; and 7, Huvclock-road. Clause 3.— That the position of the cab stand at the Post-office be not altered, and that wood pavement be laid only from the south corner of the building to the south side of the main entrance. Clauso I. — That repairs to the footpath on the north side of Carlyle-street be authorized. Clauso 5 — That tenders be invited from persons willing to undertake the collection of the dog tax. The report was adopted without discussion. MISCELLANEOUS. A number of residents of Gordon road petitioned The Council to take over the road, they promised to contribute £75 to put the road in order, but asking that the borough officials might state the proportion of each according to ratable value. — The petition was referred to the Public Works Committee. The Mayor said the annual Assessment Court would sit this month, and there was no borough valuer. He thought some of the objections made were reasonable, and he suggested that the Town Clerk and rate receiver be empowered to deal with such and to effect compromises where they thought the cases should not come before the Court. This was agreed to, and the same officers were appointed to sustain valuations before the Court. There was a discussion on a letter, by Mr. Ennor, asking permission to do drainage-connection work at Dr. Innes' section, referred to above. — Cr. Sidey maintained that any competent man should be licensed to make connections under the supervision of the overseer. Giving a monopoly of the work to one man also gave that man superior advantages in tendering for other work. — Cis, M'Vay and Welsman contended that the Corporation could not do as suggested under the bye-laws. — Cr. Sidey said that when Mr. Edser was appointed it was distinctly stated that it was only to make connections where people neglected to connect their premises with the drains. — The Mayor strongly supported the present system on the ground that it led to more efficient work. — The Town Clerk said I, be Council had no option in the matter, as it only carried out the lequireums of the Municipal Corporations Act. — The matter then dropped. Vouchers amounting to £731 10-s lid were passed and ordered to be paid. Cr. Sidey gave notice of motion to the effect that all the bye-laws and regulations of the Council in respect to drain connections be laid before the Public Works Committee. It was decided that in future the Botanical Gardens should be controlled by the Domain Board, and it was made an instruction to that body to act in the matter of some drain pipes applied for. On the suggestion of Cr. Sidey it was agreed to recommend the Public Works Committee to give some special permission to the men who had been employed in cleaning up the bottom-water drain. (By "Rowlock.") The weather for the rowing contests yesterday was splendid, a light easterly breeze blowing, which had the effect of keeping the water smooth. There was a large attendance of the public, a goodly number of ladies being present. The first race, Gisborne v. Napier, was to have started at 5 p.m., but owing to a slight accident to the Napier boat a start was not effected till about 5:30 p.m. The crews were as follows: — Gisborne : Bourne (stroke), 12st ; Mowalt (3), 12st ; Miller (2), 10th ; Green (bow), 10th. Napier : J. H. Smith (stroke), lOst 61b ; Guy (3), 12st; Hutchins (2), list; Hughes (bow), 9st 31b. Gisborne rowed in the Pearl and Napier in the Sunbeam. The race was a splendid one. Both crews got away well together. Gisborne, rowing a quicker and more powerful stroke than their opponents, gained a lead which they made a clear length when halt a mile had been traversed. The Napier crew spurted continually, but could not gain any ad vantage till approaching the gut near the mile post, whem they drew up level, and a hard race for the gut ensued. Napier was the first through, and rowing well in time gained a lead of a clear two lengths, which they kept to the finish, winning rather easily in 15min. The race between the Poverty Rowing Club and the Union Rowing Club was started immediately after, the crews being as follows : — Poverty Bay : Nesbitt (stroke), list 61b; Sawyer (3), list 31b; Richardson (2), list ; Leslie (bow), lOst. Union Rowing Club : Pulford (stroke), Waterworth (3), Forrest (2), Rule (bow). The Poverty Bay crew were on the inside, in the Pearl, and got away with the lead, nnd rowing hard soon had a lead which they made two clear lengths half a mile from the start. At the mile post they led by four lengths, and rowing a very easy ! stroke finished winners by about two I lengths in lomin 6sec. I The first race was the sixth annual contest between the Gisborne and Napier Rowing Clubs, the results of former races being as under : — J ISSS. — Rowed at Gisborne, aud resulted ! in a two lengths win for Gisborne.

For some years past the Native College of Te Aute has taken a good position amongst the secondary schools of New Zealand, and in the class-room, as on the football field, it has steadily held its own. The following extracts from the report for 1889, submitted to the trustees by the Inspector-General, and based upon a thorough inspection and examination of the institution, seem to show that last year it did more than merely hold its own. It made a distinct advance all along the line. The report says: — "The discipline of the school is excellent, and it is maintained without apparent effort; punishments are of a mild character, and are only very rarely resorted to. The tone could hardly be surpassed; there are no indications of the existence of levity or undue familiarity, but at the same time teachers and pupils are on the very best of terms. One can not help believing that much is being done here in the way of turning out pupils who will be not only clever but good men." "Mr. R. J. Pope, after a year and nine months' service, reigned his position. His work was satisfactory. Mr. Pope's place has been taken by Mr. S. Jardine, an old public school man, who brings to his work many qualifications of a high order. All the school has been taken by Mr. Pope, an old public school man, who brings to his work many qualifications of a high order." "Mr. Pope's report concludes as follows: — 'I feel justified in saying that I neither know, nor have known, a better school than Te Aute.'
