MASONIC PRESENTATION.

An interesting event, in connection with St. Andrew's Masonic Lodge, took place last night before the close of the proceedings by the brethren —viz., the presentation to their late W.M. of a very beautiful Pastmaster's jewel, reflecting credit alike on the donors and re cipient. It contains a fine diamond, and bears on the reverse the following inscription :—" A tribute of respect to P.M. Brother Daniel Stephenson, from the brethren of Lodge St. Andrew's, S.C., for the faithful discharge of his duties as R.W.M. during the years 1868 ---1869."

THE VOLUNTEERS.

MEETING OF OFFICERS,

A meeting of the officers of the Auckland Eifle Volunteers was held at five o'clock yes terday evening, at the Drill Shed. Present: — Colonel Lyons (in the chair)'; Captains Derrom, Howell, and Batger ; Lieutenants Matthews, Mclntyre, and Ihompson.; Ensigns Battley, Connell, and Hassan. There were a number of non-commissioned officers in atten; dance, as representatives from the various companies. Colonel Lyons explained the object of the meeting, and stated that he had done all he could to bring the Corps into a state of efficiency, but the men had not given bim a chance, as they would not attend parade. In fact, the musters were getting so small, that he was becoming quite .'ashamed of them, and he did hope that something would be done—either in the shape of amalgamation, disbandment, or otherwise —for it was utterly impossible that, things could continue much longer in their' present ' condition. The whole of the men should be; sworn in, for battalion, aud' posted into companies afterwards. That there was something wrong at the bottom of the movement was evident, and the sooner a change-.-was*'* made, the better; - The Colonel then' called upon the officers to give expression to any opinion they might have upon the. subject. A long and desultory discussion then took place,' and a good deal of feeling was expressed in certain quarters, which it would have been quite as well to have kept in the background. Several suggestions were made —one that the whole force* should be at once disbanded, but nothing definite was done, and ultimately it was resolved to call a general meeting of the entire force for Thursday evening; when possibly some determination may be arrived at. .

THE MAIL.

PRINCE PIERRE NAPOLEON AND THE AUTEUIL TRAGEDY.

M. Delia Rocca, editor of the Avenir de la Corse, has just published a " Life of Prince Pierre Bonaparte (1815 to 1870), accompanied by a full and hitherto unpublished account of the events which preceded and followed the Auteuil affair." The author, who is a per sonal friend of the Prince, is said to have been deeply implicated in the Auteuil tragedy, and his testimony must bo taken for-what it is worth. He says that on Monday (the day of the assassination), he received the follow ing telegram : —" Come immediately. Very serious matter." He at once jumped into a cab and hastened to Auteuil. The house was surrounded by sergents de villc, but he was admitted on giving his name. Seeing Soffi nett, the Prince's valet, he asked him what had happened. " They came to challenge Monseigneur, and insult him at his own houso; they have nearly killed him ;" was the reply. In the room where the Prince's arms are kept he found one of the Princess's maids. "So I hear a m sfortune has happened Babette ?" he said. "Yes," she answered; " they came to kill the Prince. One of them threatened me with his pistol as he was making his escape." " I then" (the writer continues) " entered the drawing-room. Here I found Paul de Cessagnae, Henri de la Garde, and MM. Casanova and Publicani. The first exclaimed on seeing me, ' Here is a dreadful business!' Pierre Napoleon was shut up in his cabinet with the Commissioner of Police, who was examining him. Suddenly the two came out into the drawing-room. The Prince gave me his hand, and said, ' Thanks, what could Ido ? I had to defend myself; a man of my ago is not struck with impunity ; and it is a wonder that lam still alive. One of my assailants did his best to kill me ; his fright, his awkwardness, perhaps some defect in his weapon, alone prevented him from shooting me !' Then, after a pause, he proceeded, * I demand to be treated like, an ordinary citizen. I have written to M. Conti in forming him of this great misfortune. Ah ! I can well imagine the sorrow of the Emperor. I wish to be placed before a jury, for I have full confidence in such a tribunal. He then declared himself ready to follow the Commis sioner of Police, fetched a fur cloak from the next room, embraced his wife and three chil dren with much emotion, and entered the car riage, which took him to the Conciergie." In the number of La Marseillaise for December 28th last—that is, almost a fortnight before the Auteuil tragedy—we- find the following, signed by the late Victor Noil': -"Lo Prince Pierre Napoleon vient de publier un livre intitule \Le maniement de I' epce asa plus simple expression. .•. . Et quand, dun prince de la mene famille, un autre livre, sur le mp^iement dv pistolet ?"

IRELAND.

Outrages of a more or less serious charac ter still obtain in Ireland. On January 25 a shot was fired into tho house of a herd, em ployed by Mrs. Frances Semple, of Castle bar. No one received any injury. , A few days after four men entered the house-of a herd named Kane, residing at Devenish, near Westport, shot his dog which ran out at them, and warned him not to be prosecu' \g his neighbours. Several 1 hreateniiig not.. J, couched in the vilest language, have been sent

to two -respectable..men in ..the i^Queenij.- County, residing near Montmellick, and notices of *a similar class have been received by others whose reticence may possibly "in crease the evil. We are informed that on January 27 a gun was fired into the bedroom of Mr. Murray, a steward, in the employ of the representatives of the late Mr. Mather, of Faltby, county of Roscommon, three miles distant from Ballinasloe. The weapon was loaded with a bullet and several slugs, which shattered the windows ; but, fortunately, Mr. Murray slept in a part of the room which did not come within range. On February 10 fire men entered the house of a caretaker on Mr. Bradshaw's estate in Tipperary, and threat ened him with death if he continued to com pete for a farm. Two shots were fired, and the caretaker and his mother were beaten with the gun-stocks. ..----»

SHOCKING MURDER.

A horrible murder was recently committed in Paris, and" the following is the assassin's own account, which he gave with great cool ness :* —" I went into the kitchen and got a large carving-knife.' Having lit the lamp, I proceeded to the drawing-room, wh<si*e I found Madame Lombard working at some tapestry. ' Are you satisfied with me ?' asked I. ' Do you think I have been drinking your wine.?' My Mistress replied gently, { Come, come, Frangois, what are you talking about,? Go and lie down a little —that's all you want.' I then rushed on her, and after a desperate fight succeeded in cutting her throat." When asked the motive of his crime the murderer replied: — "My mistress said- that. I. hid stolen a bottle of wine and that I was drunk. I Could not let such a thing be said: about me, and therefore I cut her throat. As for the cook, she leagued with my mistress to say I was a thief, and she also deserve! death." Hopes are entertained that the wounded ser vants may recover, although their injuries are terrible. The unfortunate gentleman, M. Lombard, already trembling on the verge of the grave, was so much affected by the fearful scene that his death was hoiu-ly expected. The perpetrator of these horrors is said to have been subject to occasional attacks of insanity, and to . have been confined in an asylum in Belgium. A French paper says that M. Lombard, the husband ■of Madame Lombard, who was murdered by her servant Lathanvers, is a curious instance of the beneficial effect of a violent shock on the nervous system in cases of paralysis.. M. Lombard had been paralysed for ten .years, and incapable, of* moving or uttering a single, word. The horrible scene of which he was the dumb and motionless witness, seems to have worked a complete alteration in his condition. He has begun to speak within the last few days, and two days ago received a visit from an old friend, to whom he held out his hand— which he coidd not move a month ago —and also; addressed a few words.

THE OBSEQUIES OF MR. PEABODY.

Under date Portland, January-30, we are informed that the remains v? l r". Peabody were formally delivered to the I ■_:: JL States, and transferred from the Monarch to the steamer Leyden. They were then landed and borne by ten British seamen to the funeral car, the band ofthe Monarch playing a dirge. Captain Commerell, in delivering the remains to Mr. Chamberlain, Governor of Maine, said they were intrusted to his care by Mr. Motley, the United States' Minister in London, and that the British Government gave him orders to show in every possible way the respect and admiration felt by the Queen and the people of Great Britain i for the distinguished philan thropist whose venetated remains Great Britain now parted with, but whose memory •would ever be retained and cherished, while the suffering artisan, widow, and orphan on both sides.- Atlantic would henceforth bless the name.! , eaboily. Mr. Chamberlain replied that the American people gratefully appreciated the national courtesy of Great Britain, and the tenderness with which Queen Victoria had restored the venerated remains of Mr. Pea body to his natite country. The Monarch, ho added, had achieved a greater victory than her guns could ever win. The funeral car, guarded by British marines, and followed by relatives and mourners by Governor Cham borlain. Captain Commerell, Admiral Farragut, seyeral Slate and Municipal deputations, Mr. Murray, the British Consul, and the officers of the British and American fleets, proceeded to the City Hall, where the remains were laid in state. On Ist February, the remains of Mr. Peabody were removed from Por* land to Peabody, Massachusetts. The Germania Orchestra, of Boston, and the Haydn Associa tion performed dirges and pieces of sacred music, including a chorus from the " Messiah," sung by eight, hundred voices. The funeral cortege formed, consisting of delegations from Congress' and State Legislatures, .numerous municipalities, officers of the" British aud American navies, detachments of national and State tro -pa, aud officers of several educational establishments endowed by the deceased. The body, on arriving, at. Peabody, was laid in state "at the Peabody Institute. Prince Arthur attended the final obsequies of 'Mr. Peabody, on February 8. The Secretary of the" navy has sent a letter to Captain Commerell, congratulating and thanking him for the faithful discharge of the duty of conveying Mr. Peabody's remains to America. The Secretary expresses regret that the arrival o! the- Monarch five day 3 earlier than she was expected had prevented the assembling of a larger fleet for her reception.

THE MORDAUNT CASE.

The hearing of this sensational case was continued on February 23. -he interest culminated when the Prince of Wales stepped into the witness box to be examined.. Sir Frederick Johnstone also came forward to deny,"upon oath, the charges that had been made a.ainsl, him. The Prince's denial that there had been any undue familiarity be tween himself* and Lady Mordaunt was re ceived with satisfaction iv the crowded Court.. EXAMINATION OJ? THE PEINCE OF WALES. * Dr. Deane said several names had been mixed up in the case, amongst others those of the Prince of Wales and Sir Frederick John stone, the .attar of whom had been.subjected to tho most hideous imputations. He pro posed, therefore, to examine them, and he should first call on his Royal Highness, j.-y..; The Prince of Wales was then sworn. The Judge Ordinary : I feel it my duty in the first place ( o explain to your Royal High ness the position in which you now stand By the third section'of the Divorce Act, no 0..0 is bound to answer any questions tending to implicate himso in a chirge of adultery, and

-.-« ; i-iid_BoyaltHighness,was then .exaix-ined jis 1011-ws by Dr. Deane .—-"". *—■ 7 I: believe you?.* Foyal Highness has. been for several years acquainted with the Mordaunt family. —I have. Were you acquainted with Lady Mordaunt. before her marriage ?—I was. ' * -"■'■' ' On her marriage did you write to her and make her some wedding present ?—I did. 7 Has she visited you at Marlborough House, and seen your Royal Highness and the Princess of Wales there ?—She has. Has she gone to the theatre with your Royal.Highness ?—She has. Lady Mordaunt was married in 1866. In the year 1867 did you see much of her ?— Ifdid. And in the year 1868 ?—I did. Were you acquainted with SirC. Mordaunt? —I was. Have you frequently met Sir C. Mordaunt ? —I have. And with Lady Mordaunt ? —With Lady Mordaunt. Your Royal Highness knows a place called Burlingham. In June, 1868, there yas a pigeon match there, I believe ?—There was. Your Royal Highness was captain on the ono side, and Sir Charles Mordaunt on the other, and Lady Mordaunt scored for both sides, 1 believe ?—Yes, that was so. We have heard in ■ the course of this case that your Royal Highness uses hansom cabs occasionally ? Ido not know whether that is so or not. —It is. There is only one other question which it is my duty to put to your Royal Highness^ and it is this. Has there ever been any improper familiarity or criminal connection of any sort between yourself and Lady Mordaunt ?— There has not. (Cheers.) ' Mr. Serjeant Ballantine : I have no question to a-ik your Royal Highness. , i . His Royal Highness then left the witness box, and retired from the Court. EXAMINATION OF SIB I*. JOHNSTONE. Sir Frederick Johnstone was then called and worn. The Judge Ordinary : I must tell you, Sir Frederick, as I have already told his Royal Highness the Prince of . Wales, - that you are not bound to answer any questions tending to criminate yourself, or to implicate yourself in. the charge of adultei*y. Examined by Dr. Deane: I have been acquainted with Lady Mordaunt for several years: I have known her from a child, and have kept up acquaintance with her and her family. Sir Charles Mordaunt was at school witli me, but 1 did not know him afterwards, befoi-e his marriage. I was a frequent vi sitor at" Walton Hall, and kept my horses in' the neighbourhood. In the month of September, 1868, I dined with Lady Mordaunt, at the Alexandra Hotel. I got there about eight o'clock, as far as I can remember, and left at twelve. During that time, we were in the sitting-room. From first to last there has been no improper familiarity or criminal act between me and Lady Mordaunt. A more unfounded statement .was never made than that I have suffered severely from disease ; it is quite untrue. ]', Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Ballantine: I was invited to meet Lady Mordaunt at the Alexandra Hotel- I had called upon her there on the Wednesday, at two o'clock, and was invited to meet her on the following day. I knew her husband was not in town. I was two or three times on a visit to Walton. I never told him of the dinner with his wife. I never saw him, and I never referred to it by letter or otherwise to him. lam not a family connection of Lady Mordaunt's. . > By Dr. Deane : When I was alone, with Lady Maudaunt the waiter came into the room sometimes. Dr. Deane said this was the case for the respondent, and alluded to the publication of the Prince of Wales' letters as a most impro per proceeding. , Mr. Sergeant Bailantyne said it was a most improper proceeding, and he could only say that he himself, and those who were with him, were as much surprised by it as anybody else. It was not his intention as he had already stated, to have the letters read. The Judge Ordinary : It was extremely improper, and my only doubt is whether I should not consider it a contempt of court. Dr. Deane read the letters, which have been already published. _ ;• - Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then said that with the Court's permission he would rather not . address the jury until to-day, as the court waa intensely hot. The .Judge Ordinary concurred. The", Court then adjourned.
