The New Guinea Protectorate
From the details to hand of the proclamation on tbo 6th mat. of a British protei ■ torate over #bvr Guinea, It would appear as It tho important and solemn ceremonial had boon most satisfactorily performed by Com' modoro Erskine and his array of warships. Popular phrase has it that " tho third time's the lucky time," and there is a Solomonic utterance to tho effect that "a threefold cord is not soon broken;" so we suppose it may be accepted as a favourpblo augury that this piece of wholesale annexation has been done three times over. First there was the annexation by Mr Chester on behalf of the Queensland Government j then Mr Romilly, Deputy High Commissioner, formally proclaimed British rule; and lastly the worthy Commodore went through tho ceremony in proper form, and clinched it with a salute from the big guns of his fleet. Colonists afß apt tt} b8 rtlther la* in their methods of procedure—thinking in their rough way that any stibk is .good enough to fell a dog with; but the authorities of the Mother CBUntiy, thorough experts at the art of land-grabbing, insist on everything being em rtgie. Theroforo, tho gallartt commander made the orthodox proclamation that tho only intontion was to protect the lives and property of the people of New Guinea; axbs.and beads and ribbons wore freely distributed ; a chief of no particular standing was invested with a wand of office ; and the deed was consummated by frightening the unsophisticated savages with the firing of cannon. The annexation by Mr Chester was quietly ignored as being too terribly barefaced for recognition; the proclamation by Mr RomiHy was declared to have been only a " preliminary canter;" and then the real hanky-panky and hocus-pocus triek1 was done—presto ! change ! —and beads, caUco, tomahawks, and fine promises were transformed into a large and fertile island. Nobody doubts that this was the real meaning of the ceremony, and that New Guinea is as firmly " annexed " and as little " protected" as it was under Mr Chester's rough-and-ready proclamation. New Zealand and those other colonies that havo an eye to the annexation of other "waste places'' in the South Seas will doubtless profit by the example set before them, and will take care to oner the natives a substantial quid pro qito, to niake proper professions of friendship, and to let off a few volleys in order to render the ceremony valid and binding.
The survey of the trunk line of railway, from Marton northwards, was commenced yesterday by Mr Blackett, Engineer-in-Chief. The junction with the present line is fixed three quarters of a mile from the borough of Marton boundary.
tilings of men baVe been started to work at cutting down Upper Symonds- street and Kyber Pass to their permanent levels. There are about thirty men excavating in Symonds-street near St. Sepulchre*, and a score or so'at the corner of Kyber Pass. No doubt these works will be well pushed forward during the summer.

In connection with the proposal to send an Auckland cricket team South, it appears that a. telegram hoe been received slut ing that the Otago-Canterbury match must be played on Boxing Day. This will interfere e omowhat .with the plan that had been sketched out by our men.
'The first wool sale of the season was held yesterday by Messrs Hunter and Nolan. There was a good attendance. About 100 bales were disposed of, and prices for long wool ranged from Jd to Id per lb over the ratesruling last year. Merino wools were rather under last year's prices. Messrs Hosketh and Aitkon, Potter, Sutherland, and Warnock were amongst the principal buyers. ■ ••"■■.-

The City Council has requested the Harbour Board to give notice- to Mr Strong to remove his gridiron, next to the City Saltwater Baths, to enable the contractors to proceed with the work of extension. Itj is singular that this extension should have been delayed until the swimming aoaaon htis well set in. . *

A considerable sensation was caused at a late hour on Saturday night in Newmarket, and gave some trouble to Constable Graham, who managed, however, to get through tho little biwinew in a very brSditable mii.nner.

Fortunately, tho horse was very docile, and did not object to being taken into custody by Constable Graham.: The following tioticos of motion have been handed in for the next meeting of tho City Council:—By Cr. Connolly: "Thatarrangements be made to onable tho salt-water baths to be open for ladies for two hours on Fridays." By Cr. Devoro: " That tho Engineer be instructed to propare plan* ana specifications for tho culvert required in Norfolk-street, Poneonby, and that the work bo declared urgent." By Cr. Upton t "That tho Legal Committco bo requested, to report upon the general conditions of ih& Costloy bequest, to the Free Public Library, including the position of the present.holders of the money and of the City Council in respect thereto; 6y Cr. Wayinouth : "That this Council invite tho Harbour Board to a conference ti arrange the bert irksah's fot recldimiiig Froc: man's Bay and tho disposal of thb eewdge which will flow into that Bay." At tho weekly sitting of the Parliamentary Union last night, a -motion by the Minister of Justice (Mr W. Cooper), declaring vacant tho scats held .by the present members for Moeraki and Awarua, in consequence of ' the report of the Petitions Committee, on the petition of Messrs MeLachlan and McMaster,, waa rojoctcd. It was shown that there were several other candidates who had even a stronger claim than the petitioners to the scata proposed to be declared vncant, and whose position upon the voting list -had also been overlooked ; and as Parliament was near its dissolution, it was inexpedient to take any action. The Regulation of Elections Act, which provides inter alia that in future elections to the House shall take place by ballot at a meeting of the Union convened for the purpose, was considered in Committee, Mr P. A. Philips (Auckland North) presiding. . After being amonded and amplified in various ways, the bill, was reported to the House. Mr J. M. Geddis (Eden) denounced as illiberal and reactionary the proposed .alteration of the method of election from voting oh a day sot apart for the purpose to voting merely at a meeting which very many electors might be unable to attend. Ho moved as an amend-
Mont that all further proceedings in connection with the bill should be deferred till tho next sitting, in crder that such a, revolutionary change might be more fully considered. The amendment was lost and the third reading carried. The House then adjourned till the 3rd Monday in February. A public meeting of the residents of Onehunga and contiguous district waa held last night in tho Congregational Chapel, for the purpose of taking steps to utilise the cemetery reserve recently granted by the Government for Onehunga and the County of Eden. The Mayor (Dr. Scott) occupied the chair, and in opening the meeting explained what action the "Borough Council bad taken in the matter. Hu said that the clergy had unanimously favoured the procural of a cemetery in close proximity to the recreation reserve. Although this waa not his opinion, he cordially agreed to carry out tho unanimous wish of those gentlemen who had decided, and who were tho representatives of their people. A difficulty had arisen as to subdivision, the Episcopalians of Onehunga claiming that, as they numbered nearly h ilf the population, they were entitled to have half the cemetery set apart for their use, leaving the remaining half for all the other denominations and those who belonged to no sect or creed, The Council would have been glad ta propose tbat ihere should be no subdivision at all, but the present law left them no alternative but to grant subdivisions when applied for. > In dealing with the present site, he considered it desirable to prepare two acres in the centre of the site, withpower to extend in all directions equally, and to reserve the other half in order to meet applications which, will. eventually be made by various denominations. Aftor somexliscuEsion it was resolved, upon the motion- of Mr James Koufc, seconded by Mr J. D. Jackson :—" That in the opinion of this meeting a public cemetery for. Onehunga is absolutely • necessary, 'and considers the site granted by the Government is a suitable one for such a purpose." .The followingjresblutions were also carried : Moved by Rev. Mr Millar, seconded by Mr Hastie, " That this meeting respectably urges the Mayor and Councillors of the borough of Onehunga to take immediate steps to have the ground applied to the purpose for which it has been dedicated by the Government." Moved by Key. James Bruce, and seconded by M r Brierley, '' That a committee, consisting of Beys. Father Paul, Mulgan, Taylor, Millar, and the mover, and Messrs Gherarty, Brierly, Jas, Rout, Fleming, and Hastie, be appointed to wait upon the Borough Council re the above matter, and to use any other means they may think advisable to give effect to the above resolutions, the said committep, as early as possible, to report to a future public meeting." The usual votes of thank were passed, and the mooting dissolved.

H: McKenzie was to hare moved at tho meeting of the Harbour Board, which was proceeding when wo went to press, that compulsory pilotage at the port of Auckland be abolished. In this connection it may be mentioned: that the Board has received advices from the Marine Board of Fort Adelaide that on and after December Ist next, the employment of a pilot at Fort Pirie and Fort Augusta will not be compulsory. Fort Adelaide will then be the only port in South Australia where a master of a ship must employ a pilot. A narrow escape from drowning and a gallant rescue took place on Saturday last I at Cox's Creek. The place were the acci
dent occurred is frequented by children living in the vicinity, and on the day in question a number of them wero playing on the planks at one end of the bridge. Suddenly a Mrs Trevarthen, whose house is in the neighbourhood was startledbyscreams of distress, and on rushing in the direction whence the sounds proceeded she 'found that her child—a little fellow & years of age—had fallen into the water, and was being held up by the hair of his head by another lad named Robert Parker, 8 years of age,.who was stretched full length along the planks. It was Parker who was screaming bo lustily for help. The mother rapidly sped to his assistance, and safely recovered her child. His rescue from drowning was undoubtedly due to the conduct of the boy Parker, who acted throughout with coolness aha courage. The water was five or six feet deep at the place, and the steep and unprotected nature of the banks renders them a dangerous playground for children, Mr Pierce, of Auckland, who is now visiting Duncdin, has availed himself of the chance of saying a good word for a new Auckland industry. The "Otago Daily Times " publishes a very eulogistic article on the Auckland Tobacco Company's factory and manufactures. It concludes : — "Mr Fierce, of Auckland, a large sliare'holder and a director in tho amalgamated Auckland tobacco companies, and who is at present making a tour of this island, informs us that he has distributed a large quantity of tobacco eeed among farmers, and is of opinion that in such districts at Teviot, Alexandra, Clyde, and other places the plant ehould flourishoxceedingly well. The ground requires to be well manured and thoroughly pulverised before the seed is sown. When sufficiently advanced it should be transplanted, and mi occasional hoeing is all that is requisite until it is ready to be gathered and cured. The best time for sowing is September. At the factory in Auckland it is girls who are principally engaged in the cigar and cigarette manufacture. The Company find employment for a large numbor of them, which, as tho industry proceeds, will of course be largely increased. The climate and soil of Hawke's Bay are very suitable for growing the tobacco plant, and considerable quantities are regularly sent from there to . the factory at Auckland. One of the most celebrated manufacturers of tobacco in America, when in New Zealand, lately visited the works at Auckland, and expressed himself as being perfectly satisfied with everything, and spoke very highly of the quality of the leaf which was being used at the factory. At present the excessive duty on tobacco makes it a somewhat expensive luxury ; but being now in a position to supply a superior article at a minimum cost, -there is no doqbt that the Auckland Tobacco Company will be a most Buccesßfal speculation."
