The Evening Star. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1870.

There has been an enquiry for Caledonia shares, and several'small parcels have changed hands at £IL. We understand that favorable news was received this morning.

Advance Auckland! "We some days ago announced the dvbut of a new religion, called the " Truthseekers." We are happy"to chron icle *.he existence of another sect —the " Eu rekas." We presume this is the perfect fruit, the " Trutliseekers" being the bud of promise. There should be no antagonisms between these .two noble institutions; as we regret to see tl:ere are from our correspondence columns. Newton seems to be the chief seat of these philosophical developments, and the " Eurekas" having found the object of quest on the part of the sister institution, should really lend a friendly aid to those who are still groping in darkness. It is a pity that New ton shou.d have all the light. Why does no body start the "Spiritist" doctrine, whio'i is so popular down South. The clairvoyance of the mediums would be of such service in giving us tlie latest developine ts of the Franco-Prussian c^itflict. We commend (his to the noiii-e of any who may have teen ex pelled fr.imthe other societies. We believe there i^ room for a few more sects, but not in N wton, for they are beginning to quarrel there. Mr. George Cotterel, who gave a very suc cessful series of entertainments in this city some few months ago, will make his re-appear ance on Tuesday evening next, at the City Hall, in his clever sketches of life and character. We observe that Mr. W. Kyan will take a benefit at the City Hall, on Monday next, under the patronage of the Governor and Lady Bowen, and his Honor the Superin tendent.

A meeting of the members of No. 4 Com pany Auckland Rifle Volunteers will take place at the Drill-shed, on Monday evening.

Tlie regular quarterly meeting of the Royal Arch Chapter is adjourned until Monday, the 2ith iast.

The usual monthly meeting of the Auck land Institute will bo held in the Museum Buildings on Monday evening next.

Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co., E. and H. Isaacs, and Charles Davis, give notice thai their busine33 premises will be closed on Monday and Tuesday next.

The ship Argyleshire, for London," takes about 5,000 ounces of gold for the Bank of New Zealand.

Another of the series of lectures in connec tion with the sTouug Men's Christian Associ ation was delivered last evening, in the large roo'ii of the association, bj W. L. Recs, Esq., entitled " A Few Elements of Greatness." rJ he chair was occupied by ?.Ir. Jaiues Allen, and there was a very good attendance. Tho lecture was a most interesting and instructive one, replete with valuable information, suggestions, and practical lessons. At its conclusion the lecturer was warmly applauded, and received an unanimous vote of thanks.

The following extraordinary scene took place at an execution on the 28fh July :—Theexecu tion of Oarr, the pensioner, for the murder of Margaret Murphy, an unfortunate, on June 16, in Bull Lane, Dublin, took place inside Richmond "Prison Yai'd. No one was present but the clergyman, the gaol officiate, the sheriff, and the reporters. Carr was very firm, and ascende i the scaffold without assistance. He died penitent, and was attended by Catholic clergymen, with whom he prayed up to the last moment. The fall was so great (14 feet) that the head was completely severed from tin body. Fhe prison bell tolled for an hour, and the black flag was hoisted after the execution.

The adjourned meeting of the Auckland Caledonian Society will be held on Monday evening next, at the Old Hoiue at Ilome Hotel, Hobson-street.

CORRESPONDENCE.

We are not responsible for our Correspondents' opinions.

" THE TRUTHSEEKER3 " AND "THE EUREKiS." To the Editor of the Evening Stab.

Sib, —The appearance of a note from Mr, J. 0. Wilkes, appended to a paragraph in to day's Cross, will puzzle many who do not know the motive, that prompts the writer. It is not generally known that a sect called "The Eurekas " meet every Sunday forenoon and evening in the reading-room of the Newton Athenaeum, and of course Mr. J. C. Wilkes must be greatly annoyed that another body should meet in the Polytechnic G-allery. We are modestly termed " Truthseekers." They, "The Eurekas," have of course "found it," and hence the paragraph.

Newton is not rich in institutions, and it needs a public hall and reading-room in a central situation. At present Ihe Athenaeum poorly supplies the wants of the district, but it is all they have. Broad are the roads and well scoried (how the trustees m ust have been soft sawdered to get them in their present condition !) that lead to this suburban head centre of moral, spiritual, and intellectual improvement. Here, sir, on a Saturday you may get " The Soiled Dove" from the circu lating library, and, having satiated yourself "yourself with that, you can drop in among the '•'Eurekas" on' Sunday forenoon, and have your religious aspirations gratified ; and on .Menday evening you may come to the read ing room, where you may occasionally hear the Provincial Secretary holding forth on some important political question. This is 'not, perhaps, a great deal after, all, but it is betier than the state of stagnation into which many suburbs allow themselves to drop ; but then, indeed, every suburb is not blessed with a public-spirited person like Mr. J^ 0. Wilkes. —I am, &c, TItTJTS-SEEKEB. October 8, 1870.

Prisoner had been about the the house on several occasions.— James Wren deposed : Saw the prisoner at Panmure on Wednesday. He offered to sell me the handkerchiefs produced, he said he had bought them from a man named Burke at Otahuhu, on the Saturday before. I was suspicious, and kept them.—William Sheehan identified all the handkerchiefs as those 9tolen, six previous conviction* being recorded. Sentenced to three months imprisonment with hard labor. SMUGGLING.—THE SCHOONER PERI. Edward Nolan was charged by the Collector of Customs wich evadi. g the payment of duty on 10 cases of tobacco, and 12 casks of spirits, on the 12th March last. Mr. Brookfield fur the prosecution, Mr. Recs for the defence.—Counsel for the prose cution opened the case in detail, and called H. S. McKellar, Collector of Customs, who deposed : This suit is brought under my authority, and I have elected to sue for £100 penalty. I know the schooner Peri, tho de fendant was muster of her in March lust. He arrived with her in Auckland on the 12th March. He made the usual declaration at entry on the 14th March ; he declared he had no cargo; he produced the clearances from N~ew Caledonia; he is therein described as nlpfivin" in htj.Hn.sit ;hp pniH no rlu'y. The Great Barrier and the island of Matoraka are within tlie limits oi tins colony. — lo Mr. Rees : I know a man mimed De la Piani; he has l/Ot been promised any reward for a con viction in this case. I do not know of any inducement being held out to him. —Captain Clayton, deposed :On the 28th of September I was arbitrator between defendant and De la Piani. One of the questions was regarding the voyage in March last for New Caledonia to Auckland. Defendant then stated there were goods on board on that occasion. I asked Nolan what the goods were, and he said, "Rum and tobacco." —To Mr. Rees : Defend ant stated there might have been such aboard, but that he did not Bee them. It whs De La Piani thai first stated regarding the goods. I did not know what quantities there were. These articles did not come into the assets between the parties. —To the Bench :De fendant did- not deny that these goods were on board. —David Nolan, deposed : I am a member of the firm of Carey, Gilles, Hunter, and Co. Last month I was engaged with Capt. Ciayton in an arbitration case for de fendant. He and De La Piani admitted that there was goods on board in the voyage in question. Nolan said, "I bought goods at New Caledonia to go trading with, and the weather being rough I bore up for Auckland. The goods I never saw afterwards. I don't know what became of them, I think De La Piani stole them." De La Pidni afterwards made a statement that by Nolan's instructions he had landed some goods about Kawau. In answer to a question from Captain Clayton, Nolan said part of the goods •was tobacco. —To Mr. Rees: Nolan denied his giving any instructions for landing the goods at Kuwau. —B. De La Piani deposed: In march last I was acting as mate. Defend ant was muster. We came from New Cale donia to Auckland. There were on board the master, his two daughters, the crew, and John G-illies. On leaving New Caledonia, late in the evening, by the captain's orders, I took goods on board, viz., tobacco, ten cases, and rum,'about twelve or fifteen small barrels, each about ten gallons. Captain Nolan told me they belonged to him. Galliano and Gillies stowed them. I sampled the goods, and know .it was good rum and good tobacco. After leaving Noumea, we made Norfolk %Is

land, and left soap and some brandy; we then proceeded to Auckland. We made the Great Bawier, and inside the Wellington Head after dusk, near where Im manuel, a Portugese, lives. Next day I came on board. In the evening a case ol tobacco and some brandy was taken ashore by Imma nuel, being given to him by Nolan's orders. We then steered for an island inside the Kawau. On the captain being called on deck he took us to another island. He ordered me to put the boat on the side and put the to bacco and rum aboard, and pointed out to me the place where to bury it on shore. He assisted me to get the things into the boat. GalJiatio and Gi lies assisted me to take the things ashore. We made three trips, we con ceded the things on tlie island by direction of Nolan. We then came up to Auckland in the fc»e i.—To Mr. Keea : I never saw the goods again. ■ On the 3rd April the Peri left again. A sailor named Philip Galliano and I went to the Bay of IsUnds. I know a yaung man named Marchand. I may have told him that we placed the goods on the island. Ido not recollect speaking to him at all. If I stated, to him that the captain knew nothing -bout the smuggling, it whs false. 1 am on good enough terms with Captain Nolan. 1 was pa^in^ attentions for some time to Miss Maggie JMolan. She did not decline to have any thing mare to fay to me. She told me if I had a row with her fadier, we could not get married. The old woman toW me if we >vere going to row I would huve to give up the laughter. I •• as made go out pretly quick, as the old fan said he would shoot me. 1 old Murchand that the guns of Fort Biito inart would stop the Peri. Did not ask him to go and intercede with Maggie Nolan. I know a nun named B.eilly. Various conver sations with this person were forgotten by vvimess. I met Captain Nolan in Shortland street before the award was taken, and told him that if did nut take the award up, I would go and inform on him. I went to the Bay of Islands in a boat; told the boatman I was going to get kauri gum and crayfish. Philip Galliano and I started the day after the ieri sailed; went to the Bay of Islands direct, voyaging two nights and a day ; made three trips to Motu Iraka to land cargo. I do not remember the day of the week, but I remember that it was daylight; everybody on board was on deck at the time ; after landing tLie cargo we made for Auckland. We landed three good boatsful of tobacco, the cases were about 2 feet in length and 15 inches in depth. The tobacco was covered up on the beach by flax, as ordered by Capt. Nolan ; there wera no marks to distinguish the place as to where the tobacco vas left. Mr. Fernandez, who keeps the Kaiiway Terminus Hotel, told me that Captain Nolan sent Gillies to bring the stuff ud. The tobacco was brought on deck before "we reached the island. I saw Mr. C. Richards in Otley's store, where I offered him £25 for my share in the J-'eri.—Cross examined by Mr. Brookfield : I was part owner in the Peri,' she has been seized by H. M. Customs, which has deprived me of my share. Nolan quite knew that the stuff was on board. —By the Bench : I have received several ap plications to withdraw my evidence from this prosecution, and one particularly from Mr. J. B. KusbcU 5 it was done on behalf of Captain Nolan. I was offered £60. It was about five months after the cause of this action that I gave information to the Collector. There was no person on the island at the time of the cargo being landed.

ARRIVAL OF THE 'ST. KILDA.'

EARTHQUAKE AT WELLINGTON AND WANGANUI.

FIEE AT WELLINGTON. The s.s. St. Kilda arrived in the Manukau this morning, bringing later Southern news- We take the following from the Wangonui Chronicle. WELLINGTON. Monday, Oct. 3.—Three distinct earthquake shocks in rapid succession have been felt here to-day (Monday), though not very severe. The shook occurred at 2.15 p.m , and the direction appeared from N. to S. —Buckridge's buther's shop and premises at Taiti were com pletely burned down last night. The pro perty is supposed to be insured,

WANGANUI.

October 4. —One of the most severe and prolonged shocks of earthquake experienced here for some time occurred at a quarter-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon. It lasted fully one minute, and m.de everything move able quiver very preceptibly. COTTKT MaRTIAIi EXTRAORDINARY. A species of court martial of the most extra ordinary and unprecedented character took place yesterday morning on board the 8. s. Wanganui. It seems that about 10.30 o'clock one of the directors of the company proceeded on board of the vessel, summoned the officers to the cabin, and constituting himself at once as judge, prosecutor, and counsel, began to make a most rigid investigation into the cir cumstances connected with the perpetration of the late practical joke, whereof the afore said director was the victim. The proceedings certainly were conducted in a most singular manner. His lordship insisted that every body present, from the captain down to the cabin boy, " should take the oath" forthwith, and incontinently began to swear them right off, to til;- effect that they had not on a certain morning affixed a certain placard to his (the director's) back, announcing in terms of exul tation, " that he hud breakfasted on board the Wanganui." The enquiry, however, did not proceed in a very satisfactory manner. Some of the officers objected to " take the oath >! at nil; while one facetious individual declared, in the words of A.rtemu.B Ward, his willingness to take ai\y amount of " oaths," hot. with sutjar. One or two, however, did solemnly vow and swear that they did not remember of a.iy placard;. that they had. never heard of any such thing ia the whole

course of their natural lives, and in short, they were inflicted with & most hopeless failure of memory with reference to the whole affair. A somewhat hot and strong legal argument then ensued between the judge and one of the accused; the former contending that his position as a director and a shareholder entitled him to the respect of the accused, inasmuch as " he helped to fill their bellies ;" while the other retorted that he scorned to eat the broad of dependence, and would acknowledge no obligation whatsoever to the director, if he did his work. In the end the enquiry came to nothing, except that the fact was proved to demonstration that tbe director did get his breakfast, but no " nip" of brandy afterwards, while the question of " Who parted the placard ?" was still left an inscrutable mystery.

THE WAR.

GEKMA.N ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF WES3-ENBUKG.

A correspondent, writing from the i-outh German Army, tells the story ol the battle as follows :—

" To-day thero was a brilliant commence ment of the great war, and we have opened the en -.pai^n with a glorious victory. I founn i.yself at Hagonbach, in the vicinity of the i- ■• r Baden division, which, with loud songs, .inarched to Lautniburg. iv Alsad-, on the morning of the 4th instant, under, a pouring rain, which, however, fortunately cooled the unbearable heat of the last few days. The division marched on Ihe right of our wing in the direction of Wessenburg, under a loud cannonade, which continually increased. The advance guard of the Second Biavarian Army Corps, under Lieutenant- General Count Buthoier, was v.arched against vVessenburg, which was occupied by the French Douay Division belonging to the corps of Marshal M'Mahon. Weissenburg wen indeed strongly defended, and the French had in the greatest possible haste constructed batteritß and abattis there, but the brave Bavarians, under the protection of their excelent artillery, stormed the defenc3 with death-despis ng coolness, and, though suffering great losses, pressed on till they arrived in the middle of the town. Here, however, new French regiments were thrown forward, and the struggle became ob stinate, but help from the Prussians soon came. The thunder of the Bavarian cannon, had caused the Prussian troops of the sth Army Corps (the old renowned Steinnietz Corps) to hasten forward.' Up ! the Bavarians need help; Prussia relies upon us!' cried the brave Lower Milesians, and then they dashed forward, having at their head General yon Kirchbach, the commander of the sth Army Corps. Then, casting a rapid glance around, lie threw his troops on the right flank of the enemy, where the French were offering the most opposition, but the impetuosity of the Prussians was too great. Ihe two Lo\\t,r Silesii n regiments—the 7th (the King's Grena diers from Leitnitz) and the 58th —stormed the entrenchments. 'J he sth Jager Battiliou (rom G-orlitz, in which many volunteers serve, almost annihilated the French Zouaves. Sud denly the battle-cry ' Up you Prussians ! Hur rah for King William !' was cried, and, irre strainable as a thunder clap the Prussians burst forward, and are soou joined by the Bavarians. The whole of Weissenbsrg with all its entrenchments and strongly forti fied heights, are stormed, and the Jagors of the sth Battalion also captured a French cannon, whilst the Black Huzzarg secured a French camp and many French horses. The entire French Douay Division is entirely routed. General Douay himself, who at last sought death, as in despair, fell. We hrve more than 800 French prisoners, amongst them many Zouaves, who did not fight earnestly enough to maintain their reputation. Our loss is important, and in killed and wounded will certainly amount to 900. The Bnvarian Jagers then the 7th and 58th Prus sian Begiments, and the sth Jager Battalion in particular, suffered extremely ; General Yon Kirchbach is slightly wounded in the cheek. During the battle the Crown Prince arrives, and is joyfully received by the troops. The French r, tire in haste, and our advance guard soon stands in Bitsche. The Baden troops advance continually skirmishing, and occupy the V rench town of Lauterburg. The Baden advanced posts were sent forward as far as Winzen and Tritnbach. At Lauterburg thirty large French boats and craft for navigating the Rhine, which had assembled there, were seized."
