The Evening Star: WITH WHICH ARE INCORPORATED The Evening News and the Morning News.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1872.

For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

The crowded state of our columns to-day prohibits us from taking up the subject of Mr Waymoutk's report on the accounts of the City Council. No advantage would arise from our publishing portions of the report, and we have not space to-day for publishing it entire. An abstract of it appears in this

morning's Crow, and the report is given com plete in this morning's Herald, to which we woulil refer such of our readers as are inter ested in the subject. A perusal of it will show that there was no reason why the re.

port should not have been at once laid before the public. There is nothing in it reflecting either on the present City Council or on the officers of the Council. The officers have simply carried out the system arranged and fixed for them >y the City Board in it» primitive age, and whatever defects are ap parent in that system all the more honor to the present Council for the prompt steps taken to initiate a more business-like manner

of conducting the book-keeping of the Coun cil. The officers of the Council have cordi ally, and to the utmost of their ability, facilitated the inquiry of Mr Waymouth, anil the publication of the report was only due to them to show that to the defects of the sya_ tern, and not to any lack of efficiency on their part, this muddle of yeai-s has been owing.

It is evident that the existence of this inex cusableamount of arrears, £10,000, is toa large extent owing to the disrespect and conse quent neglect shown by citizens to the pro ceedings of the City Board in times gone by. This is evidenced from the statement in a letter signed "Argus" which appears to-day

in the columns of our morning contempo raries, and which sent also to us we are obliged to crowd out. And we believe the statement of "Argus" that when this matter of arrears was formerly before the City Board " had the public taken greater interest in their affairs at that time a very different state of affairs would appear at the present time." It cannot be said that at the present Hour there is any indifference on the subject^ The ratepayers are fully awake to the negli gence of the past, and the Council will have public sympathy in the effort to place the accounts on such a basis that an arrear of £10,000 may never again disfigure the books of the city.

The Bay of Plenty Times- says :— "We" see from our Auckland files that a com pany has been started to take up the ferry service between that city and the North Shore. Any one visiting Auckland iriust have felt the unsatisfactory arrangements connected with this ferry. AVhen desiring to get a breath of pure healthful sea-breeze one was obliged to calculate on the chances of being able to return to town, which depended on so many things, as well as mere caprice, that one often thought twice before making the venture. 111-contrived and uncleanly boats, total disregard of time table, and the stoppage of the running of the boats at an hour eac)i evening which prevented pleasant evening' strolls on the, beach, were the fruits of the monopoly of the service in the hands of private proprietors. That is now about to be changed, and the Company having been floated successfully, two large ferry steamers, on an improved and elegant model, are being constructed. In such circumstances that favorite watering place will soon, we. have no doubt, be covered with the residences of the people of the city, who were deterred from venturing there by the unsatisfactory arrangements of the ferry."

The Nelson Colonist Stays :—A' wonderful pig. fiom Cliing Chong Foo,is being shown ;it the Union liotel, Auckland. The pig'Hhias" only the usual allowance^fof head, but possesses double the ordinary complement of lega and bodies. Mosgiel Tweeds, of Otago manufacture, ave'nowin demand in the London market. They are a decided novelty, and of excellent finality ; and yet at a distance of 10,000 miles from tlie place Where they are produced, and. from the people whose interest and profit it is to prefer thti liunie production to the imported article, their excellence is discerned and appreciated before we bestow even-a passing notice on the child of .our own industry. Truly a Prophet hath no honor in his own country : but it is not " colonial" to " sneeze at" a profit. The time has come when the nether extremities of every New Zealand man and boy should be clothed in stuff of the home production. ■ Samuel Crombcs lias just received a parcel of the above Tweeds from the manufactory, and not only iiopes that they will be extensively sought for, but expects every public spirited man to "go.in" for at leaßtone pair of Mos<*iel Tweed Trousers. The <>]iera-'of "Cox and Box" will be performed on Friday evening next by the South Pacific Opera Company, at the Choral Hall. The opera will be followed by a farce. We understand that Messrs. Archard and Brown have nearly completed their con tract for thi' formation of a number of bridges in the Ivati Ivati district. Mr Ajj hard lias recently returned from the district where he has buon pushing the work on. The second anniversary meeting in connec tion with the Newton X irk will take place to-morrow evening. Addresses will be given on the following subjects : -" A few things our Fathers tell us," by the I'ev Mr Bruce ; " Tliu I'owcr of Love," by the I'ev. Mr Mason ; " (Juiot Moments," by the Key. Warlow l)avies ; " Religion :in<l the I'resa,' by Mr CM. Heed; "Church Work," hy the Key. Mr McKenzie : " The .Battle of Life," by the Rev. Mr Waters. The ad dresses will be interspersed with music by the choir, under the direction of Mr Skinner.

Workmen have commenced chiving piles to form ;i new dolphin ;tt the west side of the wharf, to replace the one that was carried away during recent rough weather.

We have just received the following from a correspondent at Honolulu, whose character and position, and means of obtaining correct information are a guarantee of its reliability : -" 1 sue that your (loverninent lias ordered all vessels from the Hawaiian Islands to enter quarantine on account of the small pox having heuu at this port. Thin regula tion is quite unnecessary as tin1 disease has not prevailed here as n,i pjiiiicmif. The first case occurred .May l.">, and the last July 1."., there having been during the three months thirty-six cases ami ten deaths, all except one having been natives. The thorough vaccination of the native population in p;ust years compulsory as it is here has ren dered them comparatively safe against the spread of this disea.se whenever introduced here. Kaeh ca.se, as aouu as discovered, was immediately transferred to the hospital, located On the reef, a mile or more from the port and surrounded with water, there being no communication with the hospital except by the physician ami his assistants, f ques tion whether any port in the world is better provided for in cases of epidemic than this. The consequence is that tile disease has not been able to spread to the other islands of the group, or even to be taken away by vessels and conveyed to foreign ports. When this disease was lirst introduced in 1 t>.~>:i it swept oil over ten thousand persons, mostly natives, in six months, they never having been up to that time systematically vacci nated. Now there are probably not one hundred persons on these islands who have not been vaccinated ami re-vacciuated.

We havo no doubt that the people of Auckland will nut fail to extend their public hospitality to Mr Anthony Trollope. The time of his recent sojourn has been toe, brief, but we trust that on his return Auckland will do honour to herself in honoring one of the greatest literatc-mx of the age. \\ c ale glad to learn that Tauranga has not missed the opportunity of having its name associated with that of Mr TrolLope, and through the efforts of our plucky young contemporary, the Jin// of Plenty Tunes, the people of that district invite the distinguished visitor to a public banquet during his tour to the Lakes and Hot Springs. Mr Trollope leaves by the Southern Cross this afternoon for Tau ranga. We observe that our young sister the Bay <>/ Plcnli/ Thai's is asserting her independence. It is better at once to come thus to an understanding with subscribers, for we have no doubt that there will' be plenty in that little district disposed to assert their right to control the politics of the local paper. It appears that " a .subscriber objects" to the politics of the paper, and threatens to with draw. The editor replies "we propose to edit our little paper ourselves, and just as we please ; ami, secondly, our friend has the privilege of declining to take it whenever it shall cease to be agreeable to him." Bravo, young one '. That is tlio way to speak. Here is a atone to throw at them. Wo once broke an objector's head with it— We don't belong to our patrons, <)nr paper is wholly our own ; Whoever may like it can tako, Who don't can leave it alone. We observe that our old favourite Miss Hose Evans, the most accomplished actress that has ever appeared in Auckland, has arrived by the from the United States. She will open at the i'rince of Wales Theatre on Saturday evening next, and will play in a round of fresh pieces which she has brought with her from America. Miss Rose Evans is also accompanied by Mr (Jlareiuout. We regret exceedingly to learn that Ma dame Sanderson, whose arrival was expected by the Hero, died suddenly in Sydney from the bursting of a blood-vessel. Madame Sanderson w;is a highly-gifted soprano singer, and came out to the colonies as a member of Mr' Enderby Jackson's company. It will be remembered that the company were forced to come on to Auckland without her owing to the mishap which has cost her her life. The first annual meeting of the Yacht Club will be held this evening at the Thames Hotel. Several locals and other matter are crowded out to make room for the English news. A man named Thomas Miller attempted to commit suicide, by drowning, off Wynyard Pier yesterday. Mr and Mrs I. F. Keogh.and Mr Aveling will take a complimentary benefit at the Choral Hall, on Wednesday evening. They will be assisted by the Garrick Club.

MR ENDERBY JACKSON'S ENTER TAINMENT.

In consequence of the indisposition of Mi- Harry Rickards no change was made in the programme on Saturday evening. The en tertainment nevertheless gave great satisfac tion, and the popular artistes were warmly, welcomed. This evening the performance is set apart for a complimentary benefit for Miss Carrie Rickards, who by her amusing impersonations has met with especial favor with jfcthe audiences that nightly throng to the City Hall. Fresh comic songs and duologues will be produced from Mr Rickard's extensive ih&pertoive, an ex celsior programme being announced. A charming evening's amusement may be expected, and we hope to see a full lwise ou the occasion.

THE HERO.

As we anticipated, the arrival of this always favourite, and now specially popular steamer, has been the scene of an ovation such as shipping gives when it rejoices. The wharf yesterday and to day hag presented a blaze of bunting such as rarely greets the arrival of a vessel ; but the unjust treatment of the Hero has moved strong feelings, not only among the shipping and mercantile com munity, but the whole people of Auckland. The son of Bebeeks has got the thorn out of his foot, and we do not hesitate to say "that he will do a trade with the people of this land that will somewhat amaze and chagrin the envious Asenlts and all his faliiily. The cargo and passenger list of the Hero is a fore taste of what is coming, and we do not hesitate to say that the best time ever spent by the Hero was in the quiet shelter of Spring Cove. That steamer has always been a favourite, and Captain Logan one of the most popular of our commanders ; but both the vessel and her commander are now invested with a new interest that will continue as long as they visit our port. The Hero has been subjected to a complete overhaul—re-fitted 'and re-painted, within and without, so that all vestiges of the " thorn in the foot" have been obliterated. Had the steamer arrived in day light the welcome would have assumed the form of a popular demonstration, but we have no doubt that the publio banquet which is to be given to Captain Logan and his officers will lie made the vehicle of giving expression to the general feeling.

RIFLE MATCH.

Thk return match between the Artillery and Victoria Company, A. K.V., came off this morning at the Mount Eden Rifle Range; The only change made in the teams was by the Artillery taking in Driver Davis, who was reported a good .shot, in place of Gunner Hood, who, last match, did not come up to anticipations. The Artillery have been practising pretty regularly, and have also had a private match since the two companies tried their strength about a month ago ; while the Victoria 1 'ontpany have not been able to get all of their team to the butts during the interval. The tiring, however, on both sides is a decided improvement, and the return match closely contested, as the follow ing .scores will show : — ACTIU.KItV. (.'miner W. Xoriie ... ... ... 39 Gunner R.

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH AT THE PRO ROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.

London, August 10.—Following is;an abridge ment of the Queen's speech :

My Loads and Ghnti.emkx : Tlie time has arrived when yon may properly relinquish the performance of your arduous duties for the term and enjoy the repose which has been so honorably earned by your devoted assiduity.

I rejoice to inform you that the contro versy which has arisen between my Govern ment and that of the United States, in con sequence of the presentation of the American claim for indirect damages, under the Treaty of Washington, was rejected by the spoutan eoua declaration of the Arbitrators—entirely consistent with the view I announced to you at the opening of the session. In concurrence with your action on the part of the United Kingdom, the Parliament of Canada has passed the Acts necessary to give effect to the treaty within the Dominion; All the arrangements contemplated by that instru ment are therefore now in progress, and 1 reflect with satisfaction that the subjects with which it has dealt no longer offer any impediment to perfect concord between our kindred nations.

1 had great satisfaction in concluding with Germany a treaty for the mutual surrender of fugitive criminals, I am engaged in framing similar arrangements with othe.i Powers.

My Government has taken steps to prepare the way for Dealing more effectually with the slave trade on the east coast of Africa. I have cheerfully given my assent to the Act of the Legislature at Cape Colony for the establishment in that colony of what is now generally known as responsibl Government.

In reference to the outrages of natives in the islands of the Pacific Ocean, the changes are well designed by providing for more easy and effectual prevention and punishment of offences, while they are aimed to promote the ends of humanity and honor of the Empire. 'The Act regulating the custody and man agement of the large funds held by the Court of Chancery will relieve a numerous class of suitors in that Court from the risks and in conveniences to which they may heretofore have been more or less exposed, and likewise tend to increiise the stability of our finances. I am gratified to find by the Aqts for the regulation of mines that you have been enabled to supply new securities for the safety and advantage of large bodies of my subjects engaged in this great branch of ndustry.

The enactments embodied in the measure for the regulation of the licensing system constitute a sensible improvement upon the existing law. I trust the several regulations for the police, which they include, will be found conducive to public order. I am able to speak favorably both of the tranquility and growing prosperity of Ireland. The revenue is in a .flourishing condition. While I cordially congratulate you' on the activity in trade and industry, I hope that it wi)l be borne in mind that periods of' un usually rapid changes in the prices of com modities and the value of labor are likewise periods in which, more than ever, there is call for the exercise of moderation and fore thought.

In bidding you farewell, I ask you to join with me in ockuowledging the' abundant mercies of Almighty God showered on us, and imploring their continuance.

THREE DAYS' LATER.

NEWS TO AUGUST 19

MEMPHIS.

August 17. The steamer Grand Tower arrived from St. Louis and /reports the crew of the Helen Broolc, steamer, and- the proprietors and fatMliesofatradingboathavingbeeumurderecl by tlie blacks and the boats plundered. Iwo whole families were murdered and their bodies thrown into the ritfer, New York, August 18. —The barque Pelayo, from Havana, and brig Bolear, from Central America, with yellow fever aboard, arrived last night. There are now twenty ei<'lit yellow fever patients in the Quarantine Hospital. The Spanish ram Nuinancia is at anchor at the south-west spit, and several additional infected vessel* are expected daily. The health authorities are taking proper pre cautions.

THE BELFAST RIOTS.

FOUR MEN KILLED

LONDON

August 17. Further advices from Belfast confirm the serious nature of the looting there. On Thursday there were several collisions be tween the Protestants and the Catholic pro cession, during which a large number were injured. The entire city was in a uproar, and the disturbance were only cpuelled by the most active exertions of the police. Many! of the rioters were arrested.

August 18. Despatches from Belfast at -noon state that the disturbances there continued throughout Saturday night into Sunday and are not yet ended. The populace is divided into hostile Catholic and Protestant mobs, and whenever they come into contact there is a right. The police are using every effort to stop the rioting, and have been obliged to tire on the rioters of both sides, many of the latter hav ing been wounded. Troops with fixed bayonets are now occupying the principal streets and keeping the mobs apart. Dragoons of the Fortieth Regiment have arrived at Belfast from Dublin ; and the constabulary are pouring into the city from all quarters. Xo persons are reported killed, but the excite ment is so great that it is impossible to get definite particulars

August 19

The riots in Belfast are not yet thoroughly suppressed. The Mayor and. magistrates have issued proclamations warning the rioters to disperse under the severest penalties The arrests thus far, in proportion to the number engaged and the casualties, are re markably few. In the hospital there are

many victims of the riots. Quite a large number bear sword cuts and bullet wounds. A correspondent telegraphs from Belfast this morning that the righting continued last night, and that stones fell in the streets like hail. Despatches just received from Dublin con vey later news from Belfast. Rioting still goes oil. Four persons were killed in the streets this morning. The peaceably-disposed citizens of Belfast are greatly dissatisfied at the want of vigour evinced by the authori ties in suppressing the riots. liuffiaiis with pistols in their hands walk through the city and whole sections are given up to the

rioters

Advices from Belfast state that shots con tinue to be exchanged in the streets, though it is known that the rioters have not concen trated in large numbers at any point. A telegram from Lurgan, on the line of the Belfast and Ulster Railway, says serious disturbances have occurred there, and the authorities have called the military to their aid.

f> p.m. —A later telegram from Belfast says a report is current there that the city is about to be placed under martial law. The same telegram states that the military are charging the rioters in the centre of the town.

Dispatches just received from Belfast state that the riots have broken out afresh, and severe lighting is now going on. The police barracks ami several houses have been wrecked by the mob.

DR. LIVINGSTONE.

The London Xeus, of August 6th, says : '' We publish in another column a summary of interesting dispatches received by the Foreign Office from Dr. Livingstone. These papers cover a period of time from November 15, 1870, down to Februarjfe2o, 1872. They give a very full and thrilling account of the horrors of the slave trade in Central Africa, and they also supply minute explanations of the privations to which Dr. Livingstone was sub jected by the dishonesty of the agents em ployed to convey supplies to him at Zanzibar. Of course they furnish some accounts of the progress of his work of discovery, although, perhaps, the latter are hardly so full as might have been expected. Not the least interesting part of the dispatches are the passages which tell of his meeting with Mr. Stanley. Of course we were already in pos session of the facts from Stanley's own description, but the account given by Dr. Livingstone will be read with unabated eagerness, as it is substantially a description of their companionship given by Dr. Living stone which corresponds with that of Stanley. ' The meeting and kindness which was manifested made my whole frame,' says Dr. Livingstone, ' thrill with excitement and gratitude.' Many expressions, and we had almost said many sentences in these dis patches are identical with the phraseology used in parts of the letters to Mr Bennett. There is also in the letters to the Foreign Office the same evidence of some cheery spirit brightened up into almost boyish exhiliaration by the unexpected meeting of one of the explorer's own race, under such strange circumstances and after so long an isolation, as in the letter to the Herald, which contained many outbursts of somewhat ex uberant buoyancy, which in the minds of some readers cast a doubt upon their authenticity. There are abundant evidences of the same elastic temperament in the despatches received by the Foreign Office."

South Bend, August 11. —Mrs Matthews, mother of Vice-President Colfax, died this afternoon, aged G7. She had suffered in tensely for some time past from a cancer, which has afflicted her for a number of years.

Cleveland, August 11.—The largest poli tical meeting ever held in the city last night celebrated the North Carolina election. It is estimated that 12,000 to 15,000 persons were present. J. W. Carson, Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, has declared his prefer ence for Grant over Greeley. New Yobk, August 11.—The official re port of the assault of U. S. Consul Butler upon Major Campbell (in Alexandra, Egypt) by General Losing, who was present, shows that it was undoubedly a premeditated at tempt of Butler and Wadleigh to murder Campbell. While at the office of the Chief of Police giving testimony, and demanding the arrest of Wadleigh, the latter attempted to draw a revolver and shoot General Loring, and was only prevented from so doing by the police.
