The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1870.

Time is doing wonders with the San Francisco mail route ; and faith, in pluckincss is confirmed by the results so far attending the launching of the new scheme. Had the ordinary slow course been taken in its initiation, no doubt there would have been plenty of competition, but apparently in many things—as the Port of Call—wo should have been obliged to follow ; whereas, by playing leading cards, we have had the game in our own hands. Had Mr. H. H. Hall and Auckland been originally placed in competition vtith the big names and rival interests that have since jumped up, we fear they would hare been nowhere ; but Mr. H. H. Hall, with a five years' contract, and Auckland in possession, are an element in the calculations that is quietly asserting itself. News from east and west, Australian and American, appear in this respect increasingly satisfactory. Mr. Collie went up a rocket, and has come down a stick. Either he has boca exceeding the terms of his commission, in commit ting himself to any expression as to the port of call, or Mr. Webb has gracefully exhibited " the better part "of valour ;" and it now appears that the port of call is to everybody a matter of supreme indifference. In Melbourne, too, where the ruin, of Auckland was to be effected, the whole thing has been voted a bore, and the fascination of the Cape route precludes the least attention to the Pacific line. As a forlorn hope apparently, Mr. Collie is on his way to Sydney, but his prospects there are not bright, and even Wellington regards the game as nearly over; and sighs for the arm of a Fetherstone "to scatter her ene mies." The deep interest taken in the new trade by America, and which every mail confirms, the progress of negoeiations at Washington in the matter of "Webb's subsidy," which will be found to bo on terms of rela tionship with " Hall's contract," the great success which ha 3 attended the opening of the line, and the popularity with which the whole thing seems invested on the other side of the Pacific, are so many testimonies to the triumph of pluck over red tape, and to the virtues of the simplest solutions of gor.diaa knots.

On Tuesday morning next the silver cup presented by Captain J. McCosli Clarkoto the No. 3 (I'arucll) Company of j the Auckland IRitic VolunWeEs, ..Vrili be | •'onp'.'led for afc the Butts a' Point Chora- j Her. Tite" 'buses to eonvsy the intending I competitors will leave the Alexandra Hotel, ParneH, at seven a.m., and the Ivoyal George Hotel, .Newmarket, at a quarter-pa&t seven on tliab moraing—in each case with strict punctuality. Deduction is Postage Kates. —The new Post Office J3ill provides for the re daction of the present rate of postage on letters to the following charges : —One : penny per half ounce within towns, and twopence to any other part of t'-ie colony. During tli3 recess the rate had been altered to 3d. for letters to the Australian colonies. The Fifing Squadron arrived at Hono lulu on the lGth ulfc., home ward bound, and left on the 18th alt. rJ he following is the list of vessels afc present forming the Squadron : —Liverpool. 30 gnus, Hcbx Ad miral Hornby ; Pearl, 17. Captain John M. Eo.^s; Charybdis, 18, Captain A. McL. Lyons ; En dy mi on. 21, Captain Edward Lacy ; Liffey, 30, Captain Robert Gibson ; Phcobe, 30,'Captuiu John Eythesea. The Squadron was to proceed thence to Val paraiso. Wo understand that Mr. Thcinas Hin der will leave for Sydney this afternoon by the s.s. Hero. A FEW prominent Australian gentle men, passengers by the pioneer steam ship from is rew Zealnnci, having expressed a wish to see the ships of the Webb Hue, so that they might carry back to their country an idea of American ocean steam ships. Mr. Btewart (of Collie, Stewart and Co.) invited several of them to accompany him to Beuieia on Saturday last, and the President of the California Steam Navi gation Company ordered the steamship Amelia to call alongside the Nebraska. Upon Hearing this beautiful piece of ar chitecture the Australians expressed as tonishment at the size and magnificent appearance of the ship. The Nebraska and Nevada are sifter ships in size, eqml cabin necommoda'ions smd power.— JS Tews of the World. We notice by advertisement that by the Wonga Wonga, which arrived in harbour tnis morning, that Mr. Perkins, of tne Occidental Hotel, is in receipt of a large number of American newspapers, many of them beiug very well illustrated As most of those class of papers abound in sensational items, we have no doubt; but that Mr. Perkins will have numerous enquiries for "a look at the papers." The five drama of " Tbo Mariner's Compaass" and the wonderful wizard will constitute this evening's amusement at the Prince of Wales Theatre. The very trials attending the new mail route are elements in its triumph. The Wouga Wonga ran shore of coal, a cir cumstance that may occur to the best equipped line iv the world, and by only a small divergence from her course found a supply almost at the pits' mouth, at the Liay of Islands. How should it have been h d her course been to Wellington with the stormy East Cape and Cook's Straits on her bow.

THE CARANDINI CONCERTS.

The City Hall was again crowded last night with an enthusiastic audience, when this talented family gave another of their really charming and never-to-be-forgotten concerts. Among the many gems sang last evening we may mention " II Bacio," " Derinot Asthore," that exquisite duct " Trust Her Not," and " Home, Sweet Home;" this latter was charmingly renJered by Madame Caraudini. Of course Joe Small was at home in his cha racter songs, and was provocative of much laughter. It may be some time before the Auckland public have the opportunity of hearing such singing as is now being rendered at the City Hall, and wo advise one and all to pay the Curandini Family a visit before they leave Auckland, which will be wo learn for a considerable time. Miss Fannies benefit is announced for next Wednesday. It is need less for us to again comment on this charming young lady's abilities, but meanwhile wo predict for and wish her a crowded house next Wednesday.

THEATRE ROYAL.

Tiiehe was an excellent house lust night at this theatre, to ■witness the representation of " Court and Stage." Every member of the company waa well prepared, and nothing oc curred to mar the enjoyment so enthusiast! call expressed throughout the entire pieco by the audience. Mr. Rayner, as Eurl of Hich mond, had a part worthy of him, and exhi bited a magnificent conception of the heart trials and temptations of the " proudest noble bleman in England." His toast of the "Pro tector," in presence of the King, was really thrilling. Mr. Thorpe was better prepared in hi 3 part than on the previous ovening, and made a good Major AVildmnu ; Mr. Clif ford played accurately and -well the thought less, pleasure-loving King. It is needless to say that Mr. Hydes, as Pepy's, had the house brimful of humour on his every appearance. Mr. J. South played the part of Brockhurst with much satisfaction. Miss Melville sus tained well the small part of the Queen, and Miaa Kodgers the still smaller part of Chaf finch. But it must be owned that with Miss Joey G-ougenheini and Miss Shepparde, together with Mr. Eayner, rested the main interest of the play. The tre mulous tenderness and paf,ho3 which .Miss Shepparde throws into voice, gesture, action, made the part of the noble-hearted, loving Frances Stewart, one of the most affect ing representations we have seen for many a day. As for Miss Joey G-oughenheiin, in the character of Nell G-wynne, commendation is needless. The character seems made for her, or she for it. The laughter-loving, and seem ingly thoughtless girl, with noble instincts and kind thoughts concealed in her heart, requiring but occasion to draw them forth, had exquisite treat ment at the hands of Miss G-oughenhoim, and .every portion, of her representation last night was such as to carry the whole house with her in her ever changing moods. A couple of songs, very prettily rondered by Miss Rogers, and " The Lottery Ticket," in

which Mr. Towers, as Wormwood, was i 1 resistibly funny, concluded the evening. To-night "" The (liven Bushes," with Miss tfougheuhcim S3 Nelly, and Miss Sheppnrde a3 .Miami, will ensure, we should think, a very crowded house.

POLICE COURT.—Saturday.

(Before J. Naughton, T. Kitchie, G-. B. Owen, and J. Newman, Esqs., J.Ps.) DBXJITKBSKE3S. James Bi-idie and G-eorgc Smith were each foi1 this fined 03. and costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours. MALICIOUS INJrBT TO PKOPEBTY. Walton Poll was charged with having on on the 15th July, wantonly and maliciously broken trees in the Domain. Mr. Sheehan for the prosecution. Prisoner pleaded guilty, but evidence was taken to show the character of the case. Robert Hay wood deposed: I reside at Par- ■ noil. About twelve on the 15th I was coming through the Domain, when I saw a lot of trees broken and tho prisoner sitting. I turned back again to have a look, and saw Lim break ing a Cyprus tree, it was bent right dowu, and lie was breaking it-; he said, he was break ing it off for a walking-stick; the-;e was a lot of trees broken, Piues, Oule, &c. It was a Cyprus 10 or 15 feet high, lliey were all English trees that had been planted. Sentenced to bo imprisoned 3 months with hard labor. A charge of non-payment of wages, and two gold-mining eases, being for claims for calls, brought by Mr. Otway, Olticiul Agent, were dismissed, on account of uon-appearanco of the parties. The Court then rose.

ENGLISH MAIL

VICTORIA'S RUMOURED MAR BIAGKE.—THE.EEPORTS IN LON DON.

A Loxdgx correspondent says :—" One cannot approach so clulicate a subject without hesita tion—but the rumour lately revived in London is supported upon such high authority that it cannot quite be dismissed as mere idle gos*ip It is reported tliat Queen Victoria isabout to. bestovr her hand on a Prince of the Ilouse of Sehleswig-Holstein. A near relative of Prince Christian is mentioned as the favored suitor. The Queen's partiality to Prince Christian is well known. Indeed it is said that it is the hand of her Majesty, and not her daughter, Prince Christian sought, and the Queen, in refusing him, bade him transfer hia affections to her favorite daughter. Be it remembered that Prince Christian's years were fur more suited to a union with the mother. At all events, the Queen overwhelmed the Prince with marks of distinction, snd greatly excited her English subjects by conferring upon him the title of " Boyal Highness," and further roused their indignation by placing him in a position of equality with the highest oTiners of the Eng lish army, where the Bug.:*!* think the Ger man Prince has no right to any footing what ever. But to return to Her Majesty's pi-o spectire marriage. We have not yet heard the name of tho mysterious individual who solicits and is, they say, likely to win the soft, white hand of Queen Victoria, but there is littlo doubt that England would rejoice over any event which drew her from her long persistent seclusion.

Mr. Nicholas Chevalier is on his way to England with his wife, lie loft the Galatea at Ceylon. Messrs. Wilson and Mackinnon, of the Melbourne Argus, were among the specially invited guests at the annual dinner of the Provincial Newspaper Society, hold at the Crystal Palace on the 12thof May. On Sunday morning, April 21th, a nun known as Sister .Agnes made her escapo from the convent at Badderly, near Knowlo, War wickshire. She was captured by a servant of the convent. Although alleged to be insane,' she had provided herself with victuals, and when seized was on the public road calling to a man to help her. Sister Agne3 is described as " one of the inner circle," and it is said that only on rare occasions she had an oppor tunity of escaping. At chapel she feigned illness, and said she would say her prayers in the gnrdon. On getting out she climbed over a high wall, aud got into the roa'l, but was pursued and captured. Mr. John Ewau, who, by the way, purposes returning to Dunedin in a mail or two, has so •ucceeded in forwarding the interests of the acclimatisation of Otago, as to obtain gifts of blackcock from the Duke of Buccluch, of grouse from a gentleman residing near York, and two head of fallow deer from Mr. Lippincot, of Over Co urt, near Bristol. Mr. Ewen hopes to ship the whole before he loaves himself.

The newest style for dressing the hair is called "The Cleopatra." The hair is brushed high off the forehead and braided low in the neck, surmounted by a large imitation snake, which is coiled around the head.

AMERICAN NEWS.

THE FENIAN SCARE.

The excitement of the month hoi been the attempts of tho Fenians to iuviido Canada. 'The full.particulars will be found in another column. The papers to hand from the East ern States are all mercilessly severe at the expense of the doughty heroes who rushed across the border, fired a few shots and then took to their heels. The New York Tribune describes the latest Fenian military enterprise after the following cruel fashion :— " A plain narrative of this story—a war stopped by a Marshal and one deputy, a whole army defeated and utterly routed by two men —is so utterly ludicrous that no comment can improve it. But in fact we hare no desire to dwell upon the farcical features of this new discovery in strategy. We hare no disposition to speculate upon what would have happened if Wellington had been arrested by a sheriff's officer in the battle of Waterloo, or Grant lodged in jail by a Virginia constable while the Army of the Potomac was fighting in the

Wilderness. The serious side of General O'Neil's ridiculous blunder is too painful to be laughed sit. The folly of this charlatan has cost thousands of working people tl.e last dollar of their savings, and perhaps »ome poor fellows their lives. It has degraded Irishmen in the estimation of many of theii1 fellow citizens, who will perhaps overlook the differ ence betA-con the patriotism of the people and the imbecile vanity of the lcudei's. Those are tho sad resiilts of the last Fenian invasion. We can only hope that the rank and file may get home quickly and sound, and save their carpet-bags."

CANADIAN ACCOUNT OF THE "BAT TLE OF TROUT RIVER."

About 8 o'clock it was discovered that a large body of Fenians had entrenched them selves near Ilolbrook's Corner. A detach ment of the Rifle Brigade, including Prince Arthur's company, with 250 volunteers and 150 of the Independent Corps, were immediately sent forward to dislodge them. The Fenians opened a brisk fusilado, which was responded by the Rifle Brigade in a terrible manner. The bullets literally rained down upon the barricade ; and no human force could have lived for tcu minutes. With a faint whoop the enemy vacated their shelter, dodged in and out among bushwood, and on reaching the clear ground rau with a velocity which none but Fenians could equal. Their flight was most ludicrous. Knapsacks, over coats, rifles, and the Fenians' constant com panions whiskey flasks, were thrown away iv the steeple-chase; big Fenians full over little Fenians, and little Fenians fell over big Fenians, officers jostled sergeants, and generals jo3tled privates, and away they rushed helter-skelter without as much as one solitary " Erin go Bragli." It was a miniature Bull Run. Fleetest among the _ fleet wa9 an officer in a bran new uniform, with a fierce looking plume of green feathers in his shako. He must have been at Bull Ruu. He gal loped antelope-like over fences, kangaroo like over stumps, and on open ground ho was equally unapproachable. Of him may it be truly said, in the words of Murk Twain, " None ran that day with more vigor, yet there was much running and a great deal of vigor." About one hundred and fifty yards from the American side the runners halted anl pre tended to rally, but the sight of the Rifle Brigade followed closely by the Independents, was overwhelming^ arid once more they went on their way. The scene after the skirmish was a strange one. It might have been thought, without any great stretch of imagination, that the contents of cvci'y pawnbroker's shop in Montreal had been sown broadcast on the field. Long-tailed blue coats, with United States army button 0, powder horns, tobacco boxes, and clothing of every description were strewed wholesale over a two-acre field. As the Rifle Brigade were returning leisurely from the Fenian chase they fell upon a Fenian acting the corpse by the side of a log. A loud moan betrayed his presence, and when it was ascertained that he was not dead but scheming, he was lifted up tenderly by the collar and questioned as to his intentions. He bitterly protested that he was no "Faynian, but a dace.it, well-raised boy, wid no harm In me at all at>ll." Cross-examination revealed tho fact that his veracity was not spotless, and he was placed under arrest, with the comfort ing assurance fi'om a burly sergeant of ihe Riflc3, " that ho would be blown from the caunon's mouth immediately after dinner." Tho enthusiasm when His Rojal Highnesj Prince Arthur appeared in front of his com pany was unbounded. Cheer after cheer rent the air, and when they died away strong lung* pealed forth that grand old anthem, " God Save the Queen." The Prince acknowledged the compliment in a graceful manner, and was apparently much affected ot tho oiroumstanoe. Ha looked remarkably well in his uniform, and was anxious a3 his comrades for a fight. When the Fenians turned tail he joined with all his heart in the loud roars of laughter and hurrah ing which greeted their hurried departure.

CRUEL PERSECUTION.

Constantinople, June Ist. —The fearful vindictiveness of the native Christians in Rou mania, against the Jewish population, culmi nated on Sunday, in the wholesale butchery of Jews. Thousands of men, women and children were dragged from their homes and slaughtered. The work of slaughter goes on in the interior. The authorities have mad« no move to check it. The Christians took advantage of the absence of tho reigning Prince Charles, and, at a preconcerted signal, began the extermination of their helpless victims. — Neivs of the World.

Three young gentlemen from New York who were travelling in a Southern railwny-ca r and had made tho acquaintance of the con, ductor, stopped him as ho was passing through the car, the brakeman having just sung out " O-pe-li-ka !" Not a house was visible among tho pines except a rambling shed called an " ratin* saloon." " Hold on, conductor," said one of the youths ; " come back, we want to ask you something." " Ouj; with it," re plied the official. "lam in a hurry." " What is the size of this place, conductor ?" said one of the three gravely. " It's about as big as New York" was the ready answer, " but it isn't built up yet." A member of t!ie Vermont Legislature,' re plying to a very frothy and ignorant orator on the other side, said " Mr. Speaker, I can't reply to that 'ere speech, for it always wrenches me terribly to kick at nothing."
