A FIGHT FOR LIFE-ATTEMPT TO BURN MEN ALIVE.

General Borel made the following report re carding the fate of the persons held as hosU" * _he Archbishop of Paris and Judge Bbn feau were shot in prison, and their bodies car ried to the mairie of the Twentieth Arrondisso mont. Sixteen others, with a group of thirty e'ght gendarmes, were taken to Pere La Chaise at night under tho pretext of being transfer red to another place of confinement, and were then shot. Four others, whose names are un known, were shot on Saturday. The total thus known comprises 64 victims. On Saturday the surviving prisoners were about to be shot by the Commune, which had established its head quarters at the prison, when, at the instigation of one of the old Staff, who had been retained in his office by the Commune, they rebelled and withdrew into one portion of the prison, where they barricaded themselves, and where the insurgents tried to burn them alive. The mattresses, however, being of wool, preserved them, so that they were not much burned. A hundred soldiers who had remained in the hands of the Commune when the barracks of Prince Eugene were captured, formed among themselves a very solid nucleus of resistance, and at five o'clook on Saturday evening the Commune, seized with a positive panic, fled, carrying off with them the money chest, and directing their flight to tho Mairie of the Twentieth Arroudissement.

THE NEW PAPER.

To the Editor of the Evesing Stab. Sib,—-The newspaper sent about the place this morning, with loud exciting bawl, was a truly remarkable affair. Evrry body was, of course, on the gui five for the mail news, which all were atvaro had arrived the evening before, and consequently any paper purport ing to detail or retail that news was sure to be eagerly bought up. On hearing a tremend ous shout in the street about " all tho news," I bought a thing called the Morning News, - and, on hastily rending it, threw it doWn with the exclamation, " Nothing in it!" I saw a column containing a few horrific details of the extremely shocking tolcgrapic accounts of doings in and near l'aris received some time ago, but the paper was mainly occupied with tedious rigmarole about Barton, of Dunedin, and our late neighbour Gisborne, the clerk, which, doubtless, this anxious morning, in terested nearly every one nearly as much as if we had been elaborately and particularly in formed that wheat sometimes grows with straw. Afterwards another morning paper was re ceived, and, what a difference, thero were'two well-timed chief articles founded on the reported Paris horrors, aud French affairs in genoral, and—well, in short, the whole paper was, as everyone of course excitedly demanded, Nebraska. But the present maiu pai^t is the frcently proclaimed necessity of another news paper for Auckland.. .If the starter of the new paper cannot supply us with better pabulum than reprints, of rather revamps, of our Southern journals, about Mr. Barton, old Lady Fitzhefbert, and the clerk Gisborne, he will most assuredly soou show himself up as, if not altogether, a "superfluity of naughti - ness," certainly on interloper.—l am, &c, OiaoOKEB. .—<*

To the Editor of tho Evening Stab, Sib, —On yesterday a friend af mine handed me a number pf the Mowing News ot tho 17th uisfont, and called my attention 10 on article therein, headed "Paternal Provincial Govern ment." I read the article through, and I certainly must say tho whole thing is about the greatest piece of lying and scouudrelism I have ever seen inserted in a newspaper, It gays that the ." Tokatea Gold Mining Com pany, Coromandel, subscribed to construct the tramway over which tbeir qunrlz was con veyed, and for which they had to pay toll; also that one of'the principal directors of the said company gave the wheels of the truck without charge, and that tho win dp Umgth of line over which the quarts was brought was pnl'y'lSO yards, and further that the earth work of the tramway was done by the diggers." Now, Sir, the facts are as follows : —The Tokatea Company did not subscribe " one shilling to the making of the tram way, nor any other company. Tho tramway alluded to is No. 1 section, and was con structed by contract for the Provincial Go vernment, and when completed Government trucks were put on by tbe District Engineer- None of the directors of the Tolcatpa ever gave truck wheels to tU° Government to work the line,"nor were any of them ever asked for such by any one in the employ of the Government ]in Coromandel. Ihe length of line over which the quartz had to be conveyed is near three-quarters of a mile, instead of 150 yards. None of the diggers have ever done any of tho earthwork on tho line (except those that wore employed by the contractor to do so, and at the rate of 7s. per day for their work). The toll charged for the use of the lino (until, the main line is roady), 9d. per ton, was, and is, considered by every one in Coromandel (except by the Tokatc^ Company) as moderate a chayge $s cbvrid be made. Now, sir, I have no other object in sending you these. fa#S tban to. put down falsehood. I detest it in whatever shapo it comes, and 1 am much surprised to see it so much tolerated by the public as it U lq that, scurrit, Iqus penny pap"-. Tl,fs fficts J !° nd y°V have from the best authority, aud cannot be disputed. I would contradict falsehoods I have seen in the same paper about Coro mandel, hut that I did not like to lose.time refuting anything owning .from »w»h a source, the more particularly when such things are only inserted as if for the purpose of only bringing the Government into disrepute. I ,;~*wonid have it understood that I am not * writing in their defence, but in the defence of truth only. If, sir, the Morning News is thinking it is doing a good thing by concoct ing false, sensational items, to excite sympathy fof Coromandel, it is sndly mistaken; for I assure you that we would much prefer having our grievances brought before the public through a more respectable channel than the Morning News.—l am, &c, y^iTAS. Coromandel, July 19,1871 •

Last evening a largely »«e°ded ™ee£"f° f the Auckland Troop Eoyal Cavalry Volun teers was held. About twenty-five member, were present.

Corporal Clnrke was elected Sergeant, vice Sergeant Cleghorn, resigned, and Trooper Haywood was elected Corporal. Several new 'members 'werei Mien BW'orn m, and tlie meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

THE EOAD STEAMER. Oh ! my eye I have you seen the new steamer That goes upon roads, and is bought By the Government—aint it a " screamer }" A regular steam Juggernaut I. I can tell you, it is an attraction— A " traction" engine it Is called— And to see its laborious action > The public stand, gaping, appalled. Three broad ponderous wheels it ha 3 got, sirs, It 3 inside would puzle your wits; It can draw many tons—quite a lot, sirs, Its motion is chiefly in fits.: On this wonder to gaze you'd ne'er-tire, sirs, And speculate you may a deal As to which you ought most to admire, sirs, The smoke, or the " man at the wheel." The inventor most likely thought proper. Whilst building this strange iron horse. When about it he might build a " wopper," And did, as a matter of course. To look at its gigantic proportions When working's a sight to be seen— Like an elephant, huge, tn contortions That's swallowed a " sewing machine." Than a dozen of horses its stronger i And there's no consumption of oorn. But it feeds upon coals., (like the " Wonga,") Supplied without ceasing from dawn. An engineer is payl to command it— A stoker, likewise—in its rounds ; (But the Government's rich, and can stand it,) And it costs eight hundred bright pounds. But should they of their plaything grow weary ; When people have ceased to admire, And facetiously call it a " deary," A lumbering tiling none will hire ; And when useless they find it, and " tin" lose, ' Regretting it ever was bought. Let them piick it right off to the Hindoos Who'll worship, this steam Juggernaut. h. B, Auckland. pRINCE OF WALES THEATRE. .MONDAY. NEW SCENERY.
