"Wneeler, arrived in the Manukau yesterday afternoon from Southern ports, with a general cargo. Passengers—Mrs. A. R. Hay and two chil dren ; Mr. and Mrs. Wright; Mrs. Weston, servant, and child ; the Misses Speirs (two) ; Messrs. Zurhost, White, Solomon, A. E. Hall, Bentley, Speedy, F. Stacey, Storch, and 17 in the steerage. H.M. s.s. Virago left Wellington for Auck land on the sth inst., and may be expected here to-day. The s.s. Ahuriri, recently purchased by Mr. Martin, left Nelson on the 18th inst. for Wanganui. She is commanded by Captain Carey, formerly of the s.s. John Perm. The favorite steamer Eoyal Alfred resumed her trips to the Thames last evening, having, during the past few days, undergone a com plete overhaul in hull and machinery. It ■will be remembered that this vessel was recently purchased by Mr. Obuglien, who haß spared no expense to fit her up with every comfort and convenience suitable for the Thames trade. During the few days she has been laid up her machinery has been thoroughly over hauled, and it is expected she will be able to make the trip to the Thames in much less time than heretofore. Her saloon has also been nicely 'fitted up with new cushions, carpets, &c.; and also the fore cabin, which has been painted and furnished with every comfort. She has also been fitted with a watertight bulkhead, bewteen the engine-room and the fore-cabin, thus removing the unwholesome smell previously arising from the engine-room. The accom modation for ladies, both in the fore and after cabins, is complete, and altogether the Alfred is, perhaps, better suited for the trade than she was at any previous time. Mr. Walsh, late of the Northern Club, has undertaken the provedoring department; and under his super intendence we are sure the passengers will have no cause of complaint. The Alfred will now run regularly to the Thames, and we trust that her owner may meet with the sup port his enterprise merits. The Caducous will be the bearer of the largest cargo that has left this port for many months. She is rapidly filling up, and will be a full ship about Tuesday or Wednesday next, having been in port only two months. It is but seldom we have a vessel of 1000 tons register loading at our wharf, and it is highly creditable to the port that she has been filled up with such celerity, and shows that our articles of export must have increased to a considerable extent. We un derstand that there is nearly sufficient cargo stored and coming forward during the next month to load another ship of the same ton nage, and that it is probable a ship will be sent up from the South, to fill up here. The Alexandrina, daily expected, will also load for London, and the Mary Eussefl Mitford has commenced to atow away a cargo for New York. The following is a list of the cargo already shipped on board the Caducous: —251 bales wool, 1241 bales flax, 40 bales tow, 70 biles cotton, 3034 cases gum, 22 tons loose gum, 41 casks tallow, 12 casks and 4 tanka, 114 tons timber, 8 bundles whalebone, 15 packages sundries, and 6 casks iron sand. It is expected that the Bank of New Zealand will also ship about 10,000 ounces of gold. The ship will posi tively take her departure on Saturday next, the 20th instant, should the weather be favorable. The Caduceus takes a very large number of saloon and steerage passengers, and has now only accommodation for one passenger left in the saloon. The steerage is all taken up. The following are the names "of those who en gaged cabins : Dr. and Mrs. Pierce and family, Mrs. Howell and family, Capt. Howett, Capt. Bretton and family, Mrs. Bell and family, Mr. and Mrs. Dunkley and family, Mr. and Mrs. Soppett and family, Mrs. Campbell and family, Dr. and Mrs. Tasßell, Mrs. Moller and family. Fore cabin Messrs. Lundon, Patteson, Acher, Bray, Earson, Mrs. Lipstein, Mrs. Weakes, and 9 others.

The Evening Star. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1871.

Theee are some nuisances which the ordinary administration of the law cannot abate. The dog nuisance is one of these ; and sincerely as we de sire to promote the cause of law and order, we do not hesitate to say that this is a matter in which a man should occasionally take the law into his own hands. On yesterday one of our citi zens was punished for having abated the dog nuisance in a particular case. It is not for us to say whether he killed the dog or noi;; but if he did,' and according to evidence, he deserved punishment; not for abat ing the nuisance, but for having done it in a bungling way. What purpose is served by the swarm of dogs with which this city and suburbs are'infested, is one of those things which, in the words of Lord Dundreary, " No fellah can understand." And though there is a wide distinction between valuable dogs and curs of low degree, requiring discrimination in the use of the spe cific, we should certaialy, in the name of peace and comfort, desire that some well-wisher to his, fellows would make a general application of strychnine to the nuisance. If any man of coarse is fool enough to bring himself into the clutches of the law in the suppression of the dog nuisance, he has only himself to thank. The law says a man should not poison a

dog that *eeps him awake all night with his howlings, but common sense says he should. The law says, of course, that such howling is contrary to law, but the dog does not under stand the law, and if the owner will take no steps either to enlighten the brute on the error of his ways, or to remove the cause of the animal's dissatisfaction, the man whose slumbers are disturbed is per fectly justified morally, though not legally, in reducing the animal to a state of quiescence. This, however, is unfortunately one of those things which a man will not keep to himself ; but being conscious in his own mind that he has done a good deed, he cannot contain the inward satisfaction, but, like a fowl that has conferred a small benefit on humanity, he must needs go about proclaiming his performance. A man is warranted in indulging in an inward chuckle as he comfortably tucks him self in among the blankets, in the happy consciousness that his slumbers will be undisturbed; but if he desires the glory, he is served well if he must bear the pain. A litle piece of bullock's liver—dogs have a penchant for liver—of about three or four ounces j in weight, with a small incision into which the crystals have been dropped, is easily carried in a side pocket; and being accidentally made to fall in the path of the offending animal, may remain for ever a secret between the operator and his patient. The man who, with such a remedy to his hand, lies tumbling about in bed, giving utterance to profane xnaledic tions, instead of enjoying that repose which nature intends, is simply a fool; and we trust that the conviction of yesterday will merely have the effect of making people more cautious in ■the plan of operations.

It appears that some of the lately dismissed band of the Rifle Volunteers are as reluctant to part -with their instruments as they were to favour with their music. A notification appears from Major Gordon intimating that the law will be put in force if the instruments are not immediately surrendered. As will be seen from another column a grand vocal and [instrumental concert will be given in the City Hall, in aid of the Volun teer Artillery Band. It >ill take place on Thursday evening next, and Mr. and Madame Winter, together with" a number of the best of our amateurs, will assist. The members also of the Volunteer Band will take part in the performance, which will, we believe, be one ca'culated to give the highest gratifica tion. We learn that the Vestry met last night, and confirmed tho appointment of Mr. C. B. Andrew as head maater of St. Matthew's School, recently held by tho (now) Rev. Mr. Taylor. It was also decided to put the school premises in a thorough state of repair, the work to be commenced immediately. We cordially wish Mr. Andrew every success in his new and more arduous duties.

Hobbs.—[Advt.] ' The animal meeting of the Auckland Auxi liary of the British and Foreign Bible Society, was held last evening, in the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association. The Rev. Dr. Maunsell occupied the chair. The pro ceedings were opened with the usual devo tional exercises. A most satisfactory report was submitted by the honorary secretary, the Rev. Mr. Lawry. The report will be found in another column. The Rev. Mr. Rigg moved the adoption of the report, seconded by Mr. Thomas Macffarlane. The resolution was carried unanimously. A resolution of thank fulness to Almighty God, and pledging the meeting to renewed exertion, was moved by Mr. Barton, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. Lewis. The Union Literary Society met at the Rooms, Wellesley-street, on Thursday evening last, Mr. G. M. Main in the chair, when an address was given by Mr. Eastwood on "Poetry; its moral and social influence." An interesting discussion ensued, which was taken part in by Messrs. Blackman, H. Cornford, Shaldersj Laishley, Philips, Cass, Mann, and Main. The subject for next night of meeting (the 25th inst.) will be a debate on the question, " Does education diminish crime ?" To be opened in the negative by Mr. H. Cornford. The champion pedestrian Bird has entered into articles of agreement with a sporting gentleman x>f Christchurch to run thirty miles in three consecutive hours. The gentleman above alluded to has backed time at £200 to £60, Bird staking the latter amount that he does the distance in the time specified. The match is to take place on or before the sth of August, 1871, on a course within twenty miles of Christchurch. Five per cent, of the stakes on each side has been deposited. An election of ofGceis for the Auckland College Cadet Corps took place yesterday, at the Auckland College, with the following result:—Lieutenant, Edward Henry ReiUy; Ensign, Charles L. Russell; Sergeant, Charles Harrison; Corporals, David Orr and John F. Churton.

The transfer books of the Thames Gold Mining Company will be closed at noon to day,. and will remain closed until Wednesday next, at noon, when a dividend will be pay able. We are informed that the directors of the Kuranui G-old Mining Company have con sented to bear part of the expense of sinking the Shotover shaft an additional hundred feet. A comical looking little Chinaman was noticed at 3 o'clock the other morning, near the gaol, Melbourne, carrying on his arm an old coat, the pocket of wlrch evidenely contained something heavy, and on being stopped by Constable Dowling he dropped a bundle, which he was also carrying, and ran away. On his being overtaken and arrested, it was found that the coat contained opium and tobacco, addressed to various Chinese prisoners in the gaol, and the bundle being picked up was found to be similarly filled. Amongst the things was a sheet of Chinese paper, on which were wi-itten directions in Chmese where to place the articles so that the prisoners in the labour yard might get them. The Mongolian, who ss;d his name was Ah Long, though his stature was small, was fc.ken before the City Court, when Detective Fook Shing interpreted the addresses and directions. Ah Long was very indignant, and declared that the constable was teiiing " too much lie, too much gammon." He explained his running away by saying he thought that the constable was a drunken man. An animated and amusing discussion took place between the prisoner and the Chinese detective, who pointed to the address upon a package, and, going up to the prisoner, made most energetic and interesting remarks, which sounded like " Quaw chou chou, jah yah, jumble, tumble, kee-kee-kee-kow yi." Ah Long evidently understood, but did not agree with him, and replied vehemently in the same dialect, wind ing up with " G-ammon no likee." Evidence of previous convictions was given, and the pri soner was sent to gaol for six months as a rogue and vagabond. He bad only lately been discharged from prison. The Melbourne Daily Telegraph says that "a gentleman just returned from Fiji, and who lived immediately adjacent to Messrs. Baillie and Scott's homestead, has stated to us his impression that Scott did not murder Baillie, but that both Scott and Baillie have been murdered by the natives, who, in order to avert suspicion from themselves, have carried off Scott's body, and thrown it into the bay or sea, where the sharks and other voracious fish would, in a few hours, render a pretty goou account of it. The natives, he says, are both canning and treacherous, and will retain for months, or even years, a fancied sense of wrong, in order to seize an opportu nity to avenge it. Mr. Scott, he mentions, was advanced in years, and could not move about very far, and as Suva and its neighbour hood are surrounded with thick brush, and yam and cocoanut trees, escape would be im possible for him, and the neighbouring island s would afford no better shelter. Our inform ant suggests that until something definite is ascertained, Scott is entitled to the benefit of this doubt. The difficulty in the way is the verdict of the coroner's jury."

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.

Tne quiet; township of Caversham was this morning the scene of a tragedy so horrible in its character that the bare thought of it almost makes one's blood run cold. With one exception, and that happened some years ago, when a poor woman at Taiari destroyed her own life and that of her three children, when suffering from a disease peculiar to women, ut a critical period of their lives, no crime so great iias occurred ii Otago. Just as the traveller enters Caveraham from the city, may be noticed a public-house, known os the " All Nations Hotel," It was there tbat Agata McPhee, wife of Donald McPhee, the landlord of the house, has resided with her family for some time. Her character has been that wbich every modest woman should be, and amongst her neighbours she has enjoyed the respect and esteem wbich are due to a woman atten tive to her household duties, and whose mar ried life has been exemplary. ' The peace of the household had been disturbed within the la9.t few days; but the causes which led to that disagreement were unknown to the world, and were in no measure attributable to her. But they preyed upon her mind to such an ex tent, that in her agony she destroyed one of her cbildren, and attempted her own life. It was a little alter seven o'clock this morning when her husband, who at the time was filling the horse trough in front of his house, was informed by his little girl that her mother and sister were lying dead on the floor of her bed room. Proceeding there, he encountered a sight such as we sincerely hope none of our readers may ever be called upon to Jwit ness. On the floor weltering in :heir blood lay t.he mother and her daughter Welly—a fair-hair child, hardly four years' old. The little one appeared at first sight to have been, beheaded, but a close inspection showed that such was not the case. Very nearly was it, .though; for the poor little one's head was only joined to the body by a small band of flesh. The appearance was as though its head had been hacked off with a butcher's knife, for such was the instrument which had been used. The child lay on its back, fully dressed; but the room bore no marks of any struggle between it and the mother. She had a long cut across her throat, but her efforts to deprive herself of life were not so determinedly made as they were upon her cbild—doubtless her strength was not equal to her purpose—and none of the main arteries were severed. After the alarm wa3 raised no time was lost in sending to.town for. medical assistance. Dr. Hammond was got, and pro ceeded to the spot, had the woman, removed to an adjoining room, and sewed up her wounds. At one period of the day her con dition was very critical; but she has improved during the afternoon. She is still very weak from the loss of blood, and her life cannot be said to be out of danger. There are circum stances connected with the matter which will supply the motive for the deed, but these must be made public by means of the coroner's inquest, which will probably be held to-mor row. Mrs. McPhee is about 35 years of age. —Dunedm Evening Star. "

EXTRAORDINARY OPERATION.

One of the most remarkable end successful operations that has been performed at the Geelong Hospital, was made (says the Geelong Advertiser of the 3rd of April), by Dr. Reid about a week ago. It consisted of the presen tation of an old. man with a new chin. The chin which Thomas Scenay had worn for seventy-three years, like all other mundane things, began to decay. The under lip was affected with, cancel*, which every month became more extensive1 and painful. Dr. Reid, being consulted, strongly recommen ded the owner to undergo an operation, and "risk the loss of his old chin for the chance of a new one. But-the old man did not fancy --the experiment, and ab the diseased lip and chin were allowed to remain uinolested; , It so. happened, however, that about a fortnight ago Scenav had his upper 'lip divided by a kick from a horse, and on being taken to the hos pital, the wound was sewed up, and he re covered rapidly. So speedily was the damage repaired, that he determined to give Dr. Eeid an opportunity of restoring the under lip from which he had suffered so long. The operation was performed on the 21st ultimo.- The whole of the under lip and chin were cut away ; incisions were made down the centre* of, the throat and across the jaws, so as to admit of the skin and ftesh being stretched over.the the place where the chin formerly resided. The result has equalled the most sanguine expectations of the surgeon and his patient, for already old Scenay can boast of a new lip free from any disease or defect of any kind, and the chin, that is in some respects an im provement on the old one, so neatly moulded that when he emerges from the hospital he will look younger than he has done, for the last twenty years, . .

PRESENTATION TO DR. PIERCE.

A very interesting ceremony took place on Thursday evening, at the Lodge Room, British Hotel, upon the occasion of the presentation of an address to Dr. S. D. Pierce, who has been connected with, the City of Auckland Lodge No. 3978, Ancient Order of Foresters, for the last nine years. About 70 members of the Order and their wives were present, pnd the presentation was made by P.C.R. Augur, in a few appropriate and well-timed remarks, to which Dr. Pierce responded in very feeling termß_. The address is a very handsomely illuminated one, and is enclosed in a beautiful franc constructed of New Zealand wood. The whole affair is very elegantly got up, and will serve to remind the Doctor of many haPPy years spent in New Zealand. .After the presentation the remainder of the evening was given up to conviviality, with musical accompaniments. On Monday next a similar presentation will be made by the Ancient Order of Oddfellows, and Dr. Pierce will leave for England in the ship Caducous in the course of the week.
