DREADFUL ACCIDENT

.■ -A CHILD SOALP.ED.TO DEATH., Infobmation was brought to the police station lastevenii'g that a young child named Costello had been scalded to death at the house of the mother, who is residing near Mount Eden. Constable Jeffery was at once despatched to the house, when he learned the following particulars. It appears that at a^out one o'clock Mrs. Costello had occasion to lift a large < saucepan filled with boiling water from the fire, and in so doing it slipped fom her hands and fell on to her youngest child, aged two years, who was playing on the nig in front of the-fire. The screams of the poor-child were healt-rending, and medical assistance was at once obtained/ Dr. Ph'ilson soon anived, an I did what he could to alle viate the poor little sufferer, but, his skill "as of no avail, for the child died in gre_t suffer ing^shortly after 6 o'clock.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT TARAKU.

' VERDICT 'OF'MA^SDAUGHTER, An inquest was held on Wednesday, at the Royal Hotel, I araru, befo-e the coroner (Or. Kilgour), on the body of Helena Wakefield Collett, aged 15 months, tho infa t daughter of Mr. Collett, storekeeper, who died from having been run over by a dray driven by Thomas Crowe. —Sub-Inspector Bullen ap peared to conduct the . xarainat bri on behalf of the Crown. Several witnesses, including the mothT, gave evidence as to the stat- of Crowe, who was proved to have been drunk and asleep at the time the horses Were making their way to the Tararu battery. After a lengthy sitting, the jury returned a verdict ot A'tAlanslamihter" againot Thomas Crowe, who was committed to take his trial at the next sitting of the Supreme Court.

"THE VOLUNTEERS."

Tub usual weekly parade of the Auckland Ifaval Volunteers was hid last evening at the Drill-shed, Fort Britomart, when the prizes lately won at. the shooting were presented i y the Commandant, Captain Guildiug. Captain Tisdall, the adjutant of the forces, was pre sent. There was a very good attendance, but' few of the band were .present,, being at the entertainment at the Lunatic' Asylum. After the men had been put through the usual exercises, they were formed into three sides of a square _jmd tho prizes presented. They were as follows :" —A very valuable Spenser rifle, presented by J. T. Mackelvie, Esq., Private J. Coyle, who made the best score of 42 points; Private Martin, a re volver ; and Private Keefe, a silver watch. In presenting - the prizes the Commandant said that he hoped the men would be spurred on to -further exertions, and- continue to improve in rifle shooting. They were then briefly addressed by Major Tis dall, who congratulated them upon the good shooting which, they had made this year compared to that of last year, arid if they, only persevered he saw no reason why they should hot turn out some of the best shots in the colony. The use of the great guns was no doubt very desirable, but every member of the force ought to be able to'use the rifle in case of internal dissentions. No doubt when ih'e range-was tat Mount Eden— which he hoped would be he case during the ensuing summer—this, as .well as other corps, would turn out marksmen "who would be able to hold their own with the men of the South. Among-'those' who; he believed^.would obtain prizes upon the next occasion of prize firing would; be, Privates Keene and Marshall.— Capfain Guilding tli'ri proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Alackelvie tor the very hand 'soiiieYprize'Awhich he had presented.—-ihe motion wa3 seconded by Lieut. NatU.n. — Three cheers were then given for Mr. Mac kelvie and the donors of the other prizes, after which the proceedings concluded.

SINGULAR A CCIDENT AT THE MOANATAIRI TRAMWAY.

A sing. ■ lab accident and narrow escape occurred yesterday at the steep incline of the Moanatairi tramway, near the Tramway bat tery. , Aloaded truck was being let down the steep incline,' but the traction wire was not attached, a man being on the break. It appears that, the flange of one of the wheels was broken, and this cut into the wooden rail, thus checking its progress.. The result was that the sudden check-on-the incline capsized the truck with soch force' that it over-ended, and scarcely a hundredweight of the stone was pitched out, the whole remaining on the tram way under the capsized tr,ck withi.i ab,>ut a yard of the Tramway battery. The breaks man,; yvi|h .remarkable presence of mind, jumped on,', when he felt the check, without a moment's hesitation, and thus saved hiuiseli from what might have been very serious con sequences.—Advertiser, Oct. 11.

THE QUEENSLAND DIGGINGS.

~-;Y i.' ' y ; ,;,- f- , THE AT C.LLfOPE We have reoljiVed copies of the Gladstohe Observer to th%^Bth September^ from,.which we cull the following letter"oji the goldfields, from-'their correspondent: — y » '■_

"' \dhce moyp the inhabitants of tha Calliope bate keen;toused" from their seinj-spmnol-rit state by -theSwelcome cry, Rush, Oh ! 'Claims were begged'off in all directions, and the ex citement for a time was intense. Many could not, realise the fact, that so much gold should lie so close to the surface, in such a public place, and-not-b«.sooner- discovt-ved.. Rut.- so it was; and the discoverers of the present jpatoh Tiave'i cause to bless- their lucky; stars tlint they went fossicking at the rear of the jDig^.evs'-A^ims^.Pugto.wn, .on.JVfonday, last. Specks of gold had been frequently picked up after rain, upon tho old roadway across the point; but. no heed was taken of su ha com mon occurrence on the Calliope. People thought they had dropped from the drays when carting washdirt ; some thought they came from a leader ; but no one actually tried the place. A few dishes had been taken here and there at, odd times, but nothing got. | Luck is all. 'Tis a desperate doctrine'rbttfc highly ap plicable on the diggings. No on-'1 wondered when they heard that " Val." had struck it, for he has been one o Fortune's favorites upon the Calliope ; and if anything good was on the board, he always kept away from the worst end of it. I cannot say much at present about it,- as' Very Tittle ■ work has been done ; they have washed about a load of stuff from the leader, pricipally with the dish, and have j;ot, as near as I can judge, from 30 to 4 ) oza. The gold is r ugh, and very light for is bulk. I onqe lie 'i'd an Irishman say at Jembaicum bene, when asked by an acquaintance how he was getting on, "Faith, Mickey, its get in' an middlin' I am." " Any goold ?" " Lashins ov it, but it's mo tial poor stuff—two ounces of the creek goold would weigh a pound ov it!" Such is the case here. There is plenty of gold, but it's niortiil light; tife quantity however, makes up for tho quality, If it con tinues as it is at preset, th- prospectors have no cause to complain. £lsohas been offered and refused for :v-half,share in tho prospector's claimj INp ptherjcjaiujh liavo got it yet; the surface is cut up in all directions around them. A si,aft is being sunk upon their southern boundary, about 20 feet from the gold, but nothing has been disco ered yet. There is nothing to report in alluvial: prospectors are out in various directions, but nothing is being got. A large party of Chinamen are working the creek at Bpyne Retf?, .and getting payable gold ; the week-was 'partially worked before. The B yne Reefers are raising some good looking stone, but (he weathe-r has been ver unfavourable to them. Their present working shafts are in close proximity to their old workings, principally open' cuttings: so a littld rain causes them much annoyance.

Alining matters are. beginning to excite a legitimate interest in the minds of those who are looking for small investments. Shares can scarcely be quoted, but, the Boyne Re-f appears to be sustaining the promise which induced the Tri aitOrs to sink iii-W shaft: without prejudice to the old ones. When tailings yield 24 ozs 12 dwts to the fori, there must be more than quartz in the reef. The market value of g"ld from the new liggings may be safely put down at about, £3 10s, as the degree of fineness returne 1 by the Sy Iney Mint on various parcels, shows a con siderable difference, and,the next yield after deducting expenses has not reached ariyfi ure to warrant a higher price at present. The Mint, assay, and the efforts being made to add copper to our li=.t ef exports, most rema n for future comment. — Gladstone, Observer. . I

I went on board on the day of her arrival, and on the nay after I went .0 '.'EdP?_in'j;con?equence Of what Nolan -told-' me. In the morning, being on board, T had seen some tobacco among tho sailors on deck, and being used rather freely. Going below to stow any tobacco away, I saw a few plugs lying about on the lockers. I put it n one side. On opening a locker I saw half a case of tobacco. I closed the locker, and going to Capiain Nolan's house, I told him. He told -me it was ship's stores. I asked him if he wbuld'sell some. He said yes. I asked him the pri c, ard I offered to sell it for him. Going down to the vessel I met Mr Logan. ; .. tried to sell it to him, but euild not. In j the evening I went to the vessel with the two : Misses Nolan. Met, the captain on board, j He gave me a gunny bag, and took the tobacco ' from the locker ond put "it into the hag. lie took some more from his sea chest. ' There were two lots in the bag, and I j took it, up to Nolan's house, where I lefr.it that j night. 1 made an offer to sell it. and vmm I offered me 2a 7d' a pound. I went to Nolan j and told him ; ho instructed me to let him have it. Miss Maggie Nolan weighed the tobacco in my presence ; there were 43 lbs. There wis a sailor named Has well on board, j To Mr. Rees : I believe Mrs. Nolan was on the j Peri when thepirls and I went aboard. Wa all went down to the cabin. Did not, Rsk tho captain if ho had got. any tobacco on board, or i anything of the sort. The o plain did not say j "\tc*." I hive tho remainder of a case we have I been using sineeleavingNew'Caledoiiia." -1 did not say anyi lung in the cabin about the men handing it pretty freely about on dec'; during the day ; 1 did not say we had bet er tike it up to your house. Captain Nolan did not say " >>o, it -.ad bettor stay in the ship and be u-cd j by the ship " I had opened the locker by the j button. If I had been smuggling I would not have left it about, so. 1 saw the tobacco. I dare say 1 saw Marched on board on Fri day : this was tho day after.the conversation in the cabin. Did not tell Marched that I hod taken tobacco from the I'eri and carried it up to Queen-street, in a bag in daylight. I said j nothing to that effect. I did not tell him that T had sold it for 2s-9d a-pound, and that the captain knew nothing about. I did not say that if the captain knew anything about it there would be a row. Di 1 not say. that 1 was half-owner and had a ri*g t to do as I liked with the tobacco. I do not know the name of the man to whom I soil the tobacco. It was within a few yards of Captain No!a i's house. I had met him in Shortland-street by chance. It was about noon. I arranged to have it weighed and meet him at the monument. He paid me in. notes. It was £5 and about, 15s. It was nearly opposite Captain Nolan's. Miss Maggie Nolan had sent me an hour or two before to borrow the scales. Do not know where got the sc dcs Do not, rem m berifit wai before or after I had seen the man that 1 got the scales. Do nor remember if I brought them at one time. Do not- know how many weights I brought. When I fetched the scales she then w.ig' ed the to bacco. After it was weighed I went and met the man, sold it to him, aud brought the money to Captain Nolan. It may have been two o'clock when I sol lit to him. [The evi dence of the witness here wavered consider ably under cro3.s-exaiphial.ion respecting the weighing and sale of the tobacco.] I remem ber, when retiring from the vessel on Thurs day night with the fa;j ily, 'carrying the bag of tobacco. When carrying the bag I did not complain.of the jui eof the oranges) .going down my back. I believe that was on another occasion. I may have made two trips. Ibe lieve I did, make two trips. lam a native of Genoa. I left because I pleased. It was not because the Customs officers were after mo. I kno.v Loomey. Knew him at the Cape._ I called him on board on Thursday morning. Nolan had given me' a hint. I asked him if he would buy t bacco, but ho refused. . Had made overt-res to Captain Nolan for smuggling ; but it was only policy. Remenib r with Miss Alaggie Nolan to Mf. Gentles' f r fruit Ire- s. Never said to her that if her father would not join me in"' smuggling, I would leuve the Fori and get a vessel built. Did not tell her that I had been at the Crimea, and bought a vessel, which I-had lost, by smuggling. The evidence I gave last week against Captain Nolan was all true. Heard my evidence contradicted by Mr. Russell, Marchaud, and Aliss Maggie Nolan. She did not speak the truth, but I did. CouldTiiot say that the'loWa'eo weighed j and sold was the same bi oughtTromThe ship. ! —To the Bench :In explanation of the term ' "policy" used with reference to suggestions to the captain to engage in smuggling with him, witness stated that he did so in the hope that by so doing he; might get Lbaoksome of bis munt-y, He also reiterated the statement contradict ad by Mr. J. B. Russell, and'swore further that Mr. Russell had urged the Settlement of the arbitration Case by £60 on condition that witness should then come to Court and capsize tho prosecution. —Hugh Haswcll deposed: I was a sailor on the Peri, from Rorotonga. to Aucklaud last month. We arrived about the 15th September. There was a b x of tobacco on board when we arrived in harbour. Ido not, know wliat'.be came of it.— To Mr. Rees : This tobacco had been uoed on board coming from New Cule- j donli. The captain had sold some to the ( morion board. I believe I opened the box. I think it "as after we left Noumea.' It was j about five mouths ago, during our first trip to New Caledonia, and. the box had been used : during the whole time since. The box had originally contained a-'-out 50 or 60 lbs. 'Do . not know how much was in the box when we came in here. After we sighted the Barrier, l:'Baw it last.- It was then more than half | full. The Custom house officers came on board about 9 o'clock on Thursday morning. One j went down into tho cabiu. They would have j had "So difficulty in seeing" the tobacco in the ;.

locker. Remember the captain and young ladies coming on board after the officers were on board. Never saw the tobacco since beside (he Barrier.—This closed the case for the prosecution. —Mr. Rees addressed the Bench at. <ome length, and was proceeding to cab re butting evidence, when the Bench decided that it, was not necessary, and the case was dis missed.—The Court then adjourned foi twenty minutes to consider the verdict on the formei* case.— On resuming, the Banish declared that no decision could be arrived at..- on the former charge of smuggling, Mr. Cln'ke being for'conviction,.and Air. Williamson for ac quittal. It was ultimately decided to disriiisß the case,L but not on its merits, which does' not. preclude the laying of a fresh informa tion. -
