THURSDA V, SEPTEMBER 1,1870.

As a general rule, it is not right to speak evil of dignities. We should like to re spect the City Board, and to teach all men to do likewise. But it really is a bard; trial.;] As< our constituted civic au thorities the Commissioners are in a posi tion to win regard; but if p«ople will

make fools of themselves, it is not in human nature to reverence foolery. Cor respondence has been passing between the <Tty Board and the Committee of the Mechanics' Insticute. Objection was taken by the committee, in the interests of their trust, to a nuisance intended to be erected by order of the Board under the porch of the hall of the Insticute, and encroaching, as is believed, on the grounds of the trustees. A protest was sent to the Board, and a reply received to the effect that the Board had ordered the discontinuance of the erection, and as the excavation had been made, the Board gave the option to the committee of hav ing the excavation filled, or a flight of steps erected at the expense of the Board. The committee, after deliberation, ac cepted the proposal; and with the feel ings that usually actuate persons other than the canaille, coached their acceptance in terms of courtesy, thanking the Board for having conceded to the wishes of the committee in suppressing a nuisance which iv reality the Board dared not continue. In this the committee made a great mis take. The membeTS of the Board do not, seemingly, understand cour tesy, and, having been severally accustomed to the ruder forms and usages of society, accepted the polite- j ness of the committee as timidity and awe at the civic dignity ; and inconti- j nently resolved " that the urinal should be erected in Chancery-street forthwith." At the same time, with regard to the flight of step 3 offered previously by the Board—the erection of which is abso lutely incompatible with the existence of the other structure —a member carried the resolution, " That if it cost more than a guinea, it be not done.. " the elegant diction of which is worthy of the Commissioners, and reminds us of the man who believed he " never would be able to put his boots on until he had worn them for two or three days." As to tho prevention of the nuisance, that is a simple matter; and we trust the committee will have spirit enough to resent the stupid impertinence of the Commissioners, and oblige them to carry their nuisance elsewhere by the simple machinery of the Police Court. In this city, which rivals Cologne in the number of its stenches, the olfactory nerves of our civic authorities may he iv such a morbid stite as to be really unable to discriminate between a nuisance and a pleasant odour; but whether the site of the proposed structure is on the grounds of the Institute or on the footpath directly in front of the Hall, there is not a .magistrate in Auckland that would hesitate to order its removal, as being positively detrimental to a public institution. It is really lamentable to think, that with two or three exceptions, who are impotent to prevent civic honors from being bedraggled in the dirt, all the respectable people of the city, who would lend dignity to public proceedings, stand aloof from the Board, and the affairs of this fine city are left in the hands of persons, most of whom Providence never intended to leave their own small sphere, and if ever a Corporation is obtained, we trust the citizens will see to it, that our merchants and principal men will be asked to accept of seats at the civic Board, gentlemen to whom honor will not be as incongruous " as a jewel of gold in a swine's snout"—who, if requisite, will assert their power and dignity in some thing more elevated than a victory re garding a miserable urinal.

It is gratifying to see that our staples, flax and gum, are finding additional outlets, and especially such as will bring them under the eyes of the Yankee manufacturers, who are unrivaUed in the discovery of the economic purposes to which products may be ap plied. The cargoes of the Sarton and East Lothian, now loading for New York, will have an interest more valuable than the immediate commercial profit of the transaction and will have an undoubted in fluence on the future of these products and on their returns to producers. At the same time the supply of the London market should not be neglected, and it should be remembered that by the diverting of two vessels to New York, a con siderable influence 'wUI be effected on Lon don prices, so that shipments by the Mary Shepherd will probably meet with a state of things in the highest degree satisfactory to shippers. As this vessel will be the only one leaving for London from this port for a con siderable time, the fact is deserving of notice from those interested in these exports. The Mary Shepherd saUs in about ten days, to be followed by the Argyleshire.

The Prince of Wales Theatre was exceed ingly weU filled last night. The play being " Narcisse, or the Broken Heart," Miss Bow ring, Mrs. Jackson, and Mr. Steele taking the prominent parts, was most favorably re ceived. We have no doubt, if the clerk of the wea fchere wiU only permit, that the concert to night in aid of the funds of All Saints Church, to be given at the City Hall, wiU be very largely attended. Madame Carandini

and company, Mr. and Madame Winter give their invaluable aid, and the programme con sists of gems of the most recherche description.

It is expected that the se-sion of the General Assembly will close next week. In the measures which have been originated, it will, b -yond doubt, have been the most, im portant meeting of the Assembly ever held in New Zealand ; and, the loan sanctioned, if honestly expended, and the works approved, if faithfully performed, will introduce a new era in the history of the colony.

'1 he usual monthly inspection of the Auck land Squadron R.C.V., will take place in the Albert Barracks on Friday afternoon.

A man named Robert Luis has been taken to the Thames Hospital, having been acci dentally shot in the left arm by one of his mates while firing at a pigeon.

Mr. Lowther Broad if likely to receive an appointment on the Nelson goldfields. It appears that the challenge of Young Austin, the champion of Australia, to run any person in New Zealand one mile, giving 100 yards start is taken up by Win.

The sum of £30 Is has been collected among a few persons in Wellington in aid of the wife and children (6) of the late Mr. Hahn, steward of the ill-fated steamer Tauranga. He was an old resident of that city.

An emergency meeting of Lodge Waitemata will be held in the lodge-room, at half-past 7 o'clock this evening. The annual general meeting of the share holders of the Caledonian Gold Mining Com pany was held yesterday afternoon, when a very satisfactory report and balance sheet were adopted.

THIS DAY,

THE THAMES.

THE OHINEMURI LANDS COURT STOPPED BY MERE KURU.

RETDRN OF THE CHALLENGER

WITH JUDGE MONRO

RICH FINDS IN THE CALEDO NIA. AND JUNCTION MINES.

SPECIMEN" STEALING.

REPORTED NEW FIND IN THE

LONG DRIVE

Grahamstown, 3 p.m

[from our own COERESPONDNT.]

The little steamer Challenger, Captain Varks, came down from Ohinemuri this m'>rnin_r. Judge Monro, and several other gentlemen interested in the lands •here, lvtve returned, the Lands Court having been stopped by Mere Kuru.

Robert Barlow was brought up at the Police Court this morning, charged with stealing a quantity of specimens from the Child of Fortune. The prisoner has been remanded till Saturday next.

The Caledonia is showing splendid. About 1501bs. weight, of magnificent speci mens to hand.

Junction looking very well. Good speci-

mens daily

It is just reported that a rich find has been made in the Long Drive. The re-

port requires confirmation

From Wednesday's Advertiser we take the following : — Referring to the amalgamation of the Cale donian and Young American claims, our con temporary says there can be very little doubt but that the advantages of such amalgamation would be mutual. At present the Young American claim, although it contains a well defined and well-trie I auriferous reef, is al most in an unworkable state —at least without incurring a very heavy outlay in sinking a main shaft and erecting machinery. By the amalgamation with the Caledonian, a level can be opened out from the shaft of the latter, which will at once bring the reef to hand at, such a depth as to open a large block of ground with a good back for stoping. /riie advantage to the Caledonian will be that while the work of breaking out stone for crushing can be carried on from the Golden Crown workings, they will also be able to work the Young American reef to the utmost advan tage. The average yield of the Atlantic stone proved to be 10 dwts.; not so good as last crushing. Tlie usual monthly cleaning up for the Shot over Company will be commenced to-day, and the amalgam "will be retorted as soon as pos sible. There yet remains a parcel of good stuff to be put through before the crushing is finished, and this it was intended to crush at the company's own battery, as a wind up for the mouth ; but on account of the accident to the machinery, it will have to be crushed at either of the other mills employed for the company. During the past month the com pany has employed the circular battery of the Hauraki mill constantly, and also Partington's battery, besides their own mill; but during the whole of that period there has been none of the reef crusbed. The manager having seen the necessity for levelling down the dan gerous hanging precipice which was made while working the reef out of a face, has kept, the three mills employed crushing the stuff so blasted down ; and although it has not been found very rich, still it pays well for crushing, and we have no doubt but that the month's yield will give a good average per ton.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

THREE MEN KILLED BY LIONS

FOUR OTHERS TERRIBLY LACE

RATED

Ths unusually quiet little village of Ylid dletown was thrown into a painful fcvei of excitement on the morning of May 12, by an awful catastrophe, which' occurred to the band lately attached to James Robinson and Co'.'s circus and animal show, and led by Professor M. C. Sex ton.

Upon starting out from Cincinnati for tho seasou, the management determined to produce something novel in the way of a band chariot, and conceived the idea of mounting the band upon the colossal d<>n of performing Numidian lions, and which would'form one of the principal and most imposing features of the show.

ALTHOUGH kepeatf.dly warned By Professor Sexton that he deemed the cage insecure and dangerous in the ex treme, the managers still persisted in compelling the band to ride upon it. No thing, however, occurred unr.il the fatal morning of the 12th. The band took their places and the procession commenced to niYvc amid the shouts of the multitude of rustics who had assembled to witness the grand pageant, and hear the enliven ing strains of music, Not a thought of dan ger was entertained by any one ; but the awful catastrophe was about to occur. THE DRIVER LOSES CON.TROL OF THE TEAM. As the driver endeavoured to make a turn in the streets.the leitdergol entangled and threw the entire team in to confusion, and he lost control of them, and becoming frightened they broke, into a violent run. Upon the opposite side of the street the fore wheel of the cage came in contact with a large rock with such force as to cause the braces and stanchions which supported the roof to give way, thereby precipitating the entire band inlo the awful pit below. heart-rending scene. For an instant tie vase crowd were paralyzed with fear ; but for a moment, only, and then ai-ose such a shriek of agony as was never heard before. The awful groans of terror and agony which arose from the poor victims which were being torn and lacerated by the frightful monsters below, was heart-rending, and 3ickening to a terrible .degree. Every moment so.no one of the ban! would extricate themselves from the debris, and leap overthc side of the cage to the ground, with, a wild spring, and faint nway upon striking the earth, so great was their terror. But human nature could not stand and see men literally devoured before their very eyes, for there were williug hearts and strong arms ready to render every assistance necessary to rescue the unfortunate victims of this shocking calamity.

EXTRICATING THE DEAD AND WOUNDED

A hardware store which happened to be opposite, was invaded by the request of the noble heartsd proprietor, and pitch forks, crowbars, and long bars of iron, and in fact every available weapon was brought into requisition. The side doors of the cage were quickly torn from their fasten ings, and then a terrible sight was presented to view. Mingled among the brilliant uniforms of the poor unfortunates, lay legs, arms, torn from their sockets and half devoured, while the savage brutes glared ferociously with their sickly green coloured eyes upon the petrified crowd. Professor Charles White arrived at this moment, and gave orders in regard to ex tricating the dead and wounded, he well knowing it would be a difficult and dan gerous undertaking to remove them from the infuriated|monsters.

stationing men with forks and bars J' every available point, ho sprang fearlesslvA into the den amid (ho savasre monsters and commenced raising the wounded, and passing them upon the outside to their friends. He had succeeded in removing the. wounded and wag proceeding to Bather up the remains of the lifelpss, when the mammoth lion, known to showmen as old Nero, sprang with a frightful roar upon his keeper, fastening bis teeth and claws in him, in his neck and shoulders lacerating him in a fearful manner. p ro .' fessor White made three herculean efforts to shake the monster off, but without avail, and gave orders to fire upon him.

THE NAMES OF THE VICTIMS,

The contents of four of Colt's navies were immediately poured'into the carcass of the ferocious animal, and he fell dead • and the brave little man notwithstanding the fearful manner in which he was wounded, never left the cage until every vestige of the dead were carefully gather ed together and placed upon a sheet preparatory for burial. Tt was found that three of the ten who mounted tho cage a short, time before were killed out right, and four others terribly lacerated. Tho names of the killed are August Shoer' Conrad Freeiz, and Charles Greiner. Coffins were procured and an immediate '-mrial determined upon, as the bodies werf* so frisrlitfullv torn and lacerated as to be unrecognizable to their mo<_ 'inti mate f'-lend'.. Tt was a nvlincholy day rnr Mirldh'town, a*'d a s"dder day fir the friends and companions of'he deceased. A noLTO.Y TURNED TO \ DAY OF M 'HBNING.

iff all that vast multitude who started out in tho morning with anticipations of a <rlnd holiday few left for their homes with dry eyes after the triple funeral—for the enlire community followed the remains to the quiet little cemetery. At midnightthe eareLiss of n slain beast was quietly buried-i. on the lot where was intended to be given 1 the exhibition, but was iiev-r accomplished! 1 There is a terrible responsibility resting ."' upon some one, which should be thorough- i lv investigated and the guilty parties be '"•routrht to a quick rmd speedy punishment, The lions sr« the same ones which nearly O t Prof. Charles White his life twoyears a.o while travelling with the Thayer and v oyes party, and were known tobeavery dangerous casre of animals.
