The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1871.

It is gratifying to see that at last the difficultie»%L connection with the Kai para Eailway appear to -have been re moved, and that important work has made a preliminary step in advance. The step is but preliminary ; and after the delays and disappointments of the past, there must exist the appre hension that the actual commence ment of the work may still be de ferred. We may assume that the differences said to exist in, the Execu tive relative to the rival sites for the terminal station on the Waitemata have been removed j and we can scarcely ,#ank thafiwAy further ob stacles should be permitted to present themselves in the face of the strong public desire for the completion of the railway. The notice which has been issued intimates that the plans and COI?&M°,M willbe ready for inspection on the.Gth of next wonth, and that tenders will be received till the 24th-of the same month. Whether'thereception of .tenders will be succeeded by the 81'gl"iRg..<?.f: contracts and the actual commencement of the. works,, or whetffer, aY some people are wicked enough to, say, it is omy a sop for the public, and the construction of .the vvoyks will Wait on further legislation, remains to be sfeen. liufc as the only point that seemed to require legiela tivej action for its solution has been .already determined, we believe we are warranted in expecting an immediate commencejiieat of the works. The

effect which such a line of communi cation will have on the settlement and development of,the wealth *of the shores of our " Mediterranean," can not "ail to be in the highest sense conducive to the interests of the city and of the whole province, and the sooner those benefits are enjoyed the mor9 satisfactory will it be to the whole people. There is not, indeed, such a pressing demand for employ^ tnent as appeared to exist some months ago,, but doubtless there are numbers who will hail the commencement of this public work as a means of steady and remunerative employment, while the opening up of so extensive districts for settlement, and for the investment, we may hope, of Thames gold, will afford the prospect of abundant and regular employment for the unem ployed, in all time to come.

Caledonians have been sold this afternoon at £208 10s.

Copies of a petition for a commutation of the sentence of death passed on the unhappy man Muirhead are distributed and are await ing signatures. The single fact that Muir head's father died insane, as we are informed, taken in conjunction with the circumstances attending the murder in the Waikato, should really pled for mercy to the unfortunate man. And we sincerely hope that the petition to His Excellency will be larjfrly signed and that, it will have the effect intended.

As will bo seen from another column, the members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of the Loyal Good Intent Lodge are requested to meet, to-morrow, at the Lodge Room in the British Hotel, to attend the funeral of a deceased brother. Visiting brethren are also invited to attend.

ACCIDENT IN QUEEN-STREET.

This forenoon a collision occurred in Queen-strpei. which has resulted in the death of a horse. As a horse and cart belonging to a Mr. Craig were cora'ne out of the passage leading from M ear's stables, .Vfr. C. Major's spring-cart was coming down the street at a rapid pace when the horse striking the shaft of Craig's cart, th;e shaft penetrated the animal's brest, arid he fell. Being removed to the side walk, the unfortunate animal bled to death. There really should be compulsion brought to bear on the drivers of vehicles to! induce a less violent way of traversing our more crowded thoroughfares. An accident of this nature may just as readily happen to a man as to a horse, in the tremendous haste that seems habitually to impel our Jehus in Queen-street. . • "

Hi* duty was to visit places where patients were, or had been, to remove Tinfeoi ed clothes, and do other sanitary work.of that kind: He submitted that the performance of this duty was inconsistent with his sitting in the jury-box. His lordship thought ao tpo, and . exuusecl, his further attendance. The juryman then retired, and although the Court was crowded he had, no difiioulty in making hit exit. •

REICKELDT IN CUSTODY ON SUS-

PICION OF AESON.

By the e.s. St. Kilda, which arrived in. the Manukau this morning, we have Wanganui papers to the 15th instant, from which we take the following :—

DUNEDIN,

June 13, 2.4 p.m.—At 5.2 a.m. this morn ing Richeldt's Fancy Warehouse, Princess street, and Fairhold's shop and City Buffet adjoining were destroyed by fire. The Fire Brigade Bet to Tvork and immediately subdued the .fire. —Beicheldt is insured- in. the New Zealand Insurance Company for £1,500. — The stock and premises were destroyed as also the Buffet,, which was insured.— The loss 'of Allen, the proprietor, is £900.— Reicheldt is in cusfody on suspicion of arson.- Tha evidence ugainst him is strong. He admits setting fire to the premises, but says it was accidental.

TAURANGA.

) June 14, 10.30 a.m.—The native reported as lost in the bush has been found after fif- ' It appears that whilst aiming a blow'at a aig he wounded his own leg, and disabled himself. He crept into an old plan tation and subsisted on raw potatoes.

WELLINGTON.

j June 15, 12 45 p.m.—ln the Provincial Council last night a motion to reward Mr. fuller, K.M., for his servicei in connection With the Manawatu, by land scrip instead of money grant, was carried on division by 9 to B.—The discussion on the Eoad Board Bill conies on to-night.—The Government decline to yield on the rating clause. An animated debate is expected. If division is against them the Government threaten to resign.

BODY FOUND AT LITTLE OMAHA.

Op June 12th, an inquest was held at the native settlement, before J. M. Murray, Esq., coroner, on the body of a man who had been found washed .ashore in a sandy bay, near the entrance to the harbour, by the natives, who took the very wise precaution of covering up the bady with earth, to secure it from dogs, &.c. The jury, on being Bworn. proceeded to view the body, after which the following evi dence was adduced:—David (a native) de posed that he went down to the beach on June Bth, between seven and eight 6'clock a-in., to get some firewood, when he saw ■cjmetHng white on the sand, and on going near it he saw it was a body, which he supposed had washed ashore from some vessel ; be immediately came back and told Tenetahi. The re was no clothing on the boAy, exoopt a small piece round the wrist, as seen by tbo jui-jr. Tenetahi (a native) de posed to having seen the body, and he imme diately caused it to be covered with, earth. He reported it to the settlers on Saturday ; lie could not inform the settlers earlier on account of the wet weather. The body was found at spring tide mark, and had evi dently been there three or four days. Peter Antonio deposed that from certain -marks he believed the body to be that of one of the crew of the schooner Julia.—The jury returned the following verdict, " That the body now viewed was found drowned, but that how it came into the water there is no evidence to show. The marks on the body, and tha fragments of clothing, corresponding as they do with those observed by one of the witnesses, Peter Antonio, on the man Jack, who sailed from Big Omaha in the schooner Julia, afford strong presumptive evidence that the body now viewed is that of the man Jack reported drowned. The present decomposed state of the body renders positive identifica tion impossible."—lhe remains were placed in a coffin, (which was provided by the jury,) and buried decently near Ihe place where he was found. Mr. Picken read the service..

An Unfobtunatb Speculation.—One of the most remarkable instances connected with ;ihe failure of the firm of Overend & Gurney was recently restated with much fulness at the Manchester Police Court. The case, in its present form, arises out of the bankruptcy of a gentleman named Howard, who is now nearly eighty years of age. More than half a -century ago Mr. Howard began business as a cotton-spinner, at Hyde, Cheshire. In the course, of forty years he had accumulated a fortune exceeding a quarter of a million ster-. ling, when, by the prospect of adding £25,000 to his estate hi one month, he wag tempted to enter into speculations connected with the purchase of steamers for the projected Q-alway line of packets to New York. Mr. J. Orrel Lever, once M.P. for Q-alway, led Mr. Howard to take this step, end the result was the loss of all his property and an amount of indebted*, ness besides, which compelled him to seek the protection of the Bankruptcy Court. A very startling communication, has been made to us (Medical Brest mnd Circular) by a gentleman occupying a most important post in this country, of the existence of a most deadly poison, by the inhalation of which,' simply through the medium of a letter sent by post in the ordinary way, the reader will suddenly drop down dead with all the appearance of asphyxia. The position and acquirements of our informant should place hia evidence beyond suspicion; nevertheless, before giving entire credence to such a startling report, we are anxious to obtain confirmatory evidence from any of our readers in whose minds suspicions of foul play have arrisen, when investigating cases of sudden death, anfi what such symptoms were. Certainly the following clipping from a Canadian paper relative to the recent death of a person of note, looks very ugly : He re ceived an anonymous letter, and while reading it he fell down insensible, and shortly after expired. It is said the letter contained some poisonous substance."

We understand there is a foot-race to come off in the Albert Barracks on Monday next, at a quarter-past twelve o'clock, for £5 a-side, the competitors being Mr. E. O'Hare and Mr. J. Rhodei. Distance: 100 yards j Rhodw har ing *T» jardi start.

THE FILIBUSTERING EXPEDITION.

An " Anglo-Australian" writes :-p-Tb[e. tele gram from Melbourne just pttblisned by the London press, to the effect; fchat th« Home G-OTernment bas warned the Australian colonies that " a filibustering expedition might be expected to attack them from America, and that they have in consequence takan some precautionary measures," conveys information hitherto not made public here, which, it is to be sincerely hoped, 'may prove unfounded. Some regard " the warning" as a practical joke played iipon our fellow subjects at the Antipodes bj theQolonialOffice, and others as an indirect and Significant Hint of tha Imperial Q-orernment that Australia must look out for herself in the jfuture, and trust to her own armaments and resdurces to - defend Herself ugaii.ot, hostile -apgrpssion. In whateTerway it may .be abcep' ted, no great harm may perhaps ensue if Australians take the matter to heart, and determine not to rely too much :on the, mother country for military aid in the future. The doctrines of Golwin Smith on the' colonial question, it is true, hare not been uinversally embraced here as yet, nor are likely te be so for a long time to come, but there is a rulgar saying that " a nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse," and perchance the colonies may accept it in some such light to their own profit. Hot that it is probable that England—in ■• her present temper, at aU erents—would forsake them in the case of foreign aggression, but the warlike precautions will not be thrown away, even if not rendered absolutely essential to their existence as British communities by the course of e»ents.

WILL BE PUBLISHED, .On OB ABOUOD THE IST DAT OF JULY, O!i ANY TIME THEKBAFTER, ? -- T-H.-K- Fi-f-ST JSUMBEK OF THE MOUSING STAR, A NEW DAILY JOUBNAL. THE deplorable position of Auckland, de prived as it is of newspaper accommo dation, and plunged as the people are in dis mnl darkness, has piompted the proprietors of thia journal to issue a MORNING- PAPER, the like of which has never been known in the annals of journalism. It is evident to all persons desirous of advertising that the njpre newspapers there are in a district, the cost of advertising is further decreased, and it is mainiy with the desire of affording^ additional facilities to^the business people of-'the city that, this enterprise is undertaken. THE MORNING STAR will dwell in a region" uncontamina.ted with the degrading consideration of sublunary things, and from that etherial sphere will look down with pity on the sectarian and political strivings of mortal existences. From that point of moral and elevation, it will be in a position to record not merely the events of earth, but th« gyrations of-the planetary world, and the pro "grefsion of the so-called- fixed stars, while it will'ffitch its key in 'harmony :with-the:inusic of the spheres. It will not be an Auckland paper, nor yet a provincial paper, neither a colonial paper—in fucfr, no-paper at all, but a isun —a blazing sun—and not a satellite, illu minating space. wi*h its effulgence^ yWords fail us in the effort to describe what it will be ; but we shall curb our impetuous imagination, : and deign to state how it will affect the vulgar concerns of this little place—Auckland. It ia well known, for example, that emissaries of the Commune are at present in Aucklaud, and that principles subversive not simply of British authorityf--blit tending-.to'the 'over throw of social order and morality and reli gion, are presumptuously advocated in our midst. It will be the unflinching advocate of loyalty — religion — freedom—and the uncompromising enemy of Communism, the Devil, and Tom Russell. In the person of the Colonial Treasurer it sees Apol lyon, and touching him as with the spear of Ithuriel, will reveal his horns and his '.Jail, and his cloven hoofs to an amazed 'people. In philanthropy, seince, morals, and everything that tends to elevate and purify, in literature and in general news, it (will, of course, not only surpass all the colonial papers/but will be a model to the journalism <>f the world. Its speciality, however, will be its perfect in dependence ; in far*, in this respect it will exemplify he character of the bird that perches on the .Rocky Mountains and flaps the North and South poles with the wings of freedom ; and sii«tair.ed as it is by the wealth of the " Caledonian," it will soon extinguish that tyranny..under which our citizens have been bo long groaning in bondage. - x* '"' We have pr p.ired a large number of blank sheets to enrol the Aauvaof subscribers to thp MORNING- SIAR, and should a sufficient number uf subscribers to warrant the publica tion, be obtnined by the end ot June, the first number will appeur on the l*t of July. If there are not enough,~it will not. We fee! the humiliation of hinting at the pecuniary aspect, but Our,charge1 wilFbe the low price of one penny, to be paid in advance; and to ensure our ability to-carry on the publication we shall, as in the case of journals prev'ously started and burst-up, in Auckland, ask for tLu purchase of a quarter's papers in advance, to gether with a shilling to pay the runners,: these amounts being iiot returnable. We re gret being under the necessity of making these stipulations, but they' are reluctantly made, for reasons to which we need not fur ther refer^ and' of er which we have no con trol. N.B.—No alteration in the issue of the EVENING STAti, which will came out daily as the second appeaiance of the MORNING STAR with diminished size, and shorn of its rays. , . ~
