LATE EUROPEAN NEWS.

[Peks.s. Wakatipu, at Wellington.] London, Oct. 17.

The riots at Limerick have proved serious. The police have arrested thirty ringleaders. Twenty-three were seriously wounded by bayonets and taken to the hospital. The police continue to arrest and imprison the local secretaries and treasurers of the various branches of the Land League throughout the country. London, Oct. 18.

Owing to the excited and alarming condition of the city of Dublin, a pro clamation has been issued by the Lord Lieutennant, warning all citizens to be in their homes after nightfall. This pro clamation has further exasperated the Land League party, and a counter mani festo has been issued by the executive of the League, calling upon the peop'e to pay neither rent nor taxes till the Govern ment cease to enforce the Coercion Act, and till they liberate all persons confined under its authority. Mr Forster, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, is now attended by the police for his own personal safety. The police are 1 also on guard at Hawarden Castle, the seat of Mr Gladstone, the Premier. It has been found necessary to increase the constabulary force at the castle. Mr Gladstone’s effigy has been burned at Philadelphia. London, Oct. 19. A great sensation has been created in New York by an attempt to destroy the steamship Bothnia one of the largest and latest additions the fleet of the Cunard Company. Circum stances point unmistakeably to a de liberate attempt to fire the ship, made on Sunday, when a carpet saturated with phosphorus and gasoline was found to be on fire. As soon as the fire was discovered the burning carpet was thrown overboard, and the flames were prevented from spreading. Search was made, and four empty bottles which had contained the in flammable liquid were found. Shortly be fore the fire broke out two suspicious looking men, unknown, were seen on board the steamer. They disappeared, and have not since been seen. It is now admitted that several similar attempts to destroy steamers belonging to the com pany have been recently made, but the company, for obvious reasons, thought it prudent not to make the matter public. The Bothnia was at New York at the time the attempt was made. Although the City of Dublin is in a fearfully turbulent and excited state, the authorities refrain from proclaiming it a disturbed district, but the police commis sion has issued a notice warning all per sons against rioting and deeds of violence. .London, Oct. 20. Great indignation is expressed by the American press at the alleged attempts to burn the Cunard steamers. _ An en quiry into the case of the Bothnia has led to the arrest of several longshoremen, who wore heard uttering threats of what would occur when the ship got to sea. The burning carpet in itself is not con sidered a serious affair, and there seems no doubt that the inflammable mixture , was poured upon it with the knowledge that the fire must have followed ere the _ vessel left port. The Herald, Tribune, ,J World, Zeitung, and other journals urge

Solicitors—Branson and Purnell. Interim Treasurer—John Orr. Interim Secretary—Stephen E. Poyntz. The promoters of this Prospectus, in introducing it to the public, wish to draw attention to the benefit to be derived from the establishment in . the County of Ashburton of Cheese and Butter Factories. (1) By the factory system the cost of manufacturing would be considerably lessened, and the consequent profit arising therefrom give a greater return to all interested, and by reason of the uniformity obtainable, a greater demand also for the manufactured article, at an irlcreased value, would be the result. (2) Farmers, by selling their milk to the Company, will receive payment in cash, and consequently be in a position to purchase their goods at the store on a cash basis, which will not only be ad vantageous to themselves, but will also materially assist to place trade generally throughout the County on a sounder, footing, and will likewise find an outlet for the butter and cheese made, which at present farmers and storekeepers have a great difficulty in doing, (3) It would be the means of opening up a steady paying market for the pro duce which at present —during some portion of the year—will barely meet working expenses, and ships now being fitted with refrigerating apparatus, com bined with the prospect of direct steam communication at an early date with the Old Country, warrants the promoters in anticipating and offering such an outlet. All further information desired can be obtained from the Secretary or any of the Directors. Application forms for shares will be issued in a few days. S. E. POYNTZ, 958 c Interim Secretary.
