HURRICANE AT NORFOLK ISLAND.

flic barque Sea Ranger, Captain Allen, has arrived at Russell from a whaling cruise. We are informed by Captain Allen of a very severe hurricane having taken place at Norfolk Island while he was lying off the Island weather bound:— On the 21st February a violent gaie irom the 3.5. E. sprang up at 3 p.m. ; the consequences were of an unusually serious nature, and caused considerable damage to property. A church recently built on the Island was much injured, especially on the side facing the gale. At midnight the gale abated from that quarter. Next morning at six o'clock the wind shifted to the S.S.W., having backed round by NVN.E. In the meantime the church had been well secured by ropes and tackles. At seven p.m. on the -22nd, light gales from tne2T.E., which increased to a hurricane, rooting up trees, taking them in many instances from their former positions, and removing them many roods. Pine balls were flying about like grape shot. The house owned and occupied by Mr, David Buffett was un roofed, the roof floating in the air for a moment, and then coming down with great force. Many chimneys were blown down, the piazza of the mission house was much damaged, but was saved from entire destruction by the exertions of the natives, who helped with a vigor deserving of the cause. The Sea Ranger being off the island at the time received no injury, although she has been reported as lost. Tences surrounding various en closures on the island wore broken down and removed in some cases great distances. Mr. Thomas Rossiter was very much injured while trying to secure tin: fences around his premises. Cattle and sheep suffered seriously from the' effects of the hurricane, many of them being driven before the gale over precipices ; a large portion of the fruit trees on the island were like wise destroyed. This, following tho drought that had previously been experienced by the inhabitants, will leave them, our informant says, in a critical position with regard to supplies of food.

SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1872.

♦ ■- For the caiise that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do."

Cteus Haley has been run to earth. No practical good will result from our heaping on his unhappy head the I burning coals of popular indignation. He has admitted that he sprang at the throat of society, and society's foot is •bow upon his neck. But does it follow, therefore, that as civilised and humane people we ahall pursue with our vengeance the poor little harmless children that owe their being to Cyrus | Haley, and take the bread from their |! lips because thoir unhappy father has I done us bo groat wrong ? That pro perty of which the prisoner was pos sessed at the time of his arrest can do ijiim no good now. If ho had a mine 'if untold gold it would not alleviate $s sufferings, or rairristerjfco his com

fort within the prison walls by a single glass of wine. But Cyrus Haley, dan gerous to society as he was, has the parental affection that is common to us all, and we may indeed wring the father's heart, and so carry out a bitterer vengeance through his know .edge of the sufferings and the misery of his poor little children. Whether it is our duty to do so, we leave to the fathers and mothers of Auckland. Par he it from us to give expression to any maudlin sentiment in favor of a condemned criminal, or to pander in any way to a sympathy with crime. We were the foremost in defiantly denouncing those who publicly ex pressed sympathy with those very burnings "in which Cyrus Haley is now seen to have been the principal agent • but neither the cause of law and order, nor of humanity, will be promoted by our carrying out our vindictive avenging of crime after the criminal has been placed forever apart from his fellow men. As will be seen from another column, pi-evious to the passing of the terrible penalty of the law on Cyrus Haley, an application was made by the Crown Prosecutor that the expenses of the trial and con viction of the criminal should be levied off his goods ; and the order was made accordingly by the Judge. In this Mr. Brookfield simply carried out the duty imposed on him by his position^ and his Honor was but the minister of the law°; but we do not hesitate to say that there are very few in Auck land who will not regard the carrying out of such a merciless rule as worthy of the criminal practice of the Red Indian. "We do not know the extent of the possessions of which Cvru3 Haley was the owner. It may be little or it may be much ; but what ever their extent we are confident they would not suffice to meet the heavy expenses that have been entailed in bringing the prisoner into his present position. Those little children who have no understanding of what their father has done, who could not be made to believe what a wrong he has perpetrated on society; who cannot know why their father is kept away from home, and does not return to them as ho used to come ; who, when they go to see him at Mount Eden, will wonder why he is staying there in that strange clothing, and who cannot be regarded as criminal in any sense but in having derived their being from Cyrus Haley—must these be cast adrift upon the world with the brand of Cain upon their young brows, and stripped of every thing that, whatever law may say, by all the principles of equity and justice should belong to them? Law and order have obtained a great victory, and its greatest value consists, perhaps, not so much in the arrest of such an offender as in the moral influence which it will exert as a deterrent from crime. But we do not hesitate to say that if after such a conviction and accumulated penalty we pursue the guilty man with vengeance, visiting him this way through his children, a reactionary fep.lin-p1 ™m r - ,-,? i -*-"<*» wording on the masses of "the p2ople will excite a sympathy with the criminal, and through him with his crime. We suggest this to those who have the welfare of society at heart: and as for the cruel order that would thus vindictively visit on poor, helpless, and innocent children the sin of their father, any attempt to enforce it will produce in the com munity as outraged and indignant feelings as those which were excited by the burning 3 and attempted murders that have now been traced to the hand of Cyrus Haley. There is, we believe, at the present hour a healthful feeling of indignation against the recent terrible crimes. Let us show that in the hour of triumph we can remember mercy; and having placed the criminal himself by a threefold life penalty beyond even the region of hope, let us show that we can feel not only tenderly but even gener ously towards the poor little children whose very name will be ever after a heavy enough misfortune for them to bear.

We yesterday printed and circulated 3,200 copies of the Evening Star. This was in excess of our average circulation, owing to the interest excited by Haley's defence. On several occasions before it has reached 3000, but latterly it has besn verging on 2,700, an average which we underhand is not approached by any other daily paper in New Zealand.

Application was made at the Police Cour for the re-arrest of Cowan, the man who was discharged as cured lately from the Lunatic Asylum by order of the Judge. The applicants stated that his violent conduct lead them to apprehend danger from him while at large. Process has been granted, and the man will undergo further medical examination to ascertain the real state of his mind.

The man who attempted suicide at Pulleng's dining-rooms a few days ago is progressing favorably at the Hospital. He will be charged at the Police Court with the rash act as soon as he is sufficiently recovered from the effects of the wound.

We have to congratulate ourselves on being now in direct communication with the South by Tejegraph. On tha connoction being completed yesterday afternoon, his Worship the Mayor telegraphed his congratulations to the Mayor of Wellington, and this morning received the following reply : —" The Mayor of Wellington reciprocates on behalf of him self and the citizens of Wellington the con gratulations of the Mayor of Auckland on the completion of telegraphic communication with this city. (Signed) J. Dbansfield, Mayor."

Our Forth. Shore friends will be glad to learn that the tenders of Messrs. Goldie and Pitts has been this day accepted for mekiug a road and bridge across the arm of the sea that makes the tongue of land on whioh they reside almost an island. The road is to be a straight continuation of the road up from the Devonport new wharf, conditional on the free cession of the requisite land by Captain Daldy and Mr. Keesing, both of whom have pro mised the free gift. The tender was £1000 for an 18-feet road, or £1175 for one of 22 feet. 'Hie lowest tender for a road leading direct from the old wharf would have been £250 more for an 18* feet roadway, and £450 moro for one of 22 feet.

There is indignation among the " Daltons." One of the so-called gentler sex bearing that cognomen recently, as reported, afforded a specimen of her pugilistic powers in open Court, wiring in with a will into another member of hei' sex. In common with our contemporaries we stated the occurrence, but not knowing her prenomen, or that of her husband, or whether even she had a husband, we merely designated her by the title usually given to married persons of her sex, and spoke of her simply as Mrs. Dalton. But Mrs. Dalton is legion, and appears to be invariably stout; and we have received the following bearing on the subject: —" To the Editor of the Evening- Star.—Sir, —Do you not think in police reports, &c, it would be better to call a woman by her husband's Christian name, as for instance in the case of Mrs. Dalton, an exceedingly stout person, who figured at the Police Court on the 10th instant. As there are several Mrs. Daltons, and some rather stout, who would not like to be taken for the Mrs. Dalton who made 3uch an unladylike appearance, I think it would only be doing justice to the other females of the name of Daiton to call that person by her husband's Christian and surnames." We really do not know what to do in the circumstances unless to apologise, which we do very cordially to all other Mestlames Daltou, unless this one. And we take this opportunity of assuring them and the public that none of thorn is the very masculine person that, bearing the same name, outraged the sanctity of the temple of Themis by importing into it tho profane rites of the P. R.

A valuable accession to the ranks of journa lism in the Auckland province has been made in the person of Mr. A. Q-. Morton, for n.any years proprietor and editor of the Timaru Herald, the pioneer journal of the Timaru district. Mr. Norton waa returned as a member for that district to the Provincial Council of Canterbury, and up to tlio time of his leaving fjr the North held the office of secretary and treasurer to the Timaru and Q-ladstone Board of Works, the constitution of which ho drafted, and in procuring the adoption of which by the Greneral Assembly he was chiefly instrumental. Mr. Horton has purchased an interest in the Thames Ad i vertiser, and Mr. Wilkinson is to be con* gratulated in having secured the co-operation of a gentleman who, aa a political writer, held a leading position in the Southern provinces. We have already referred to the addresses presonted by'the Masonic fraternity to Rev. Dr. Kidd and Mr. Gr. H. Layers, the cbanlain and secretary of ~"? vVe would -— i«,y rpcommend a visit to Mr. Upton's, where the illuminated addresses are on view for to-day only. They are singularly beauti ful. The framework was designed by Mr. Jenkins ; but the whole of the illuminations, which are exquisitely chaste, are from the hand of Mr. Richard Morrow, draughtsman, of Newton road. We believe theie are few aware that such a work could Le so executed in Auckland, and thia specimen of caligraphy will, we venture to say, be the forerunner of many another from the same hand adorning presentations in Auckland.

We believe that rather too much fu93 i 3 made about the blastings at Fort Britoinart. It is very well known that there is not the slightest danger to any one, but as sotue old women have been frightened, His Worship the Mayor, who of course has to watch over the interests of old women as well as others, has very properly required that public inti mation should be made when a blast is about to take place. He has to-day received the following —" Mr. Owen Jones presents \\u compliments to His Worship the Mayor, and begs to inform him that a blast of earthworks will take place at Fort Britomart this evening between five and sis o'clock." Wo therefore beg to advise all elderly ladies of both sexes that this evening at the hour indicated, if they hoar a rumbling of the earth, they are not to sup pose that the whole fabric of creation ia being shattered.

The usual Easter examinations were held at Union street school (Mr. J. Brabazon, master) during Eaater week, and two following days, when the prizes were distributed. The sub jects of examination were as follows :—Bead ing, writing, spelling, dictation, arithmetic, grammar, simple and compound tables, geography (embracing Europe, Asia, and Africa), and English history (from tha reign of Henry "VII. to Victoria). The following is the order of merit:—lst Class—Alfred Fenton, Ist prize ; Jamos Geddes, 2nd ditto. 2nd Class —William Geddes, Ist prize ; James Kelly, 2nd ditto. 3rd Class — Norman Wright, Ist prize; Alexander Douglas, 2nd ditto. 4th Class—George Mills, Ist prize; James Williams, 2nd ditto. sth Class— Thomas Ccoper, l9t prize; James Ross, 2nd ditto. 6th Class—Richard Wilkinson Ist prize ; John Fergus, 2nd ditto. 7th Class— A.

We would intimate to all our Highland friends that to-morrow evening again, as published in another column, divine service in the Gaelic tongue will be conducted at the Wellington street Academy by Mr. M'Rae, the young Presbyterian minister elect of Waiupu.

The Telegraph Office]} on and after Monday next will be open for business from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., instead of as heretofore from 0 a.m. to 9 p.m.

In the Provincial Government; Gazette issued | fco-day there are notified the withdrawal of applications for mining leases of the " English" and the " Star of the Thames" Q-old Mining Companies ; the schedule of dues levied at the Onohunga wharf; application by Mr. John Glasson for permission to dam the Whaugamaire creek; the appointment of Charles Maddock to be keeper of the Dedwood pound ; schedule of charges at the Matakana ferry ; appointment of G. T. Hartnell to be ferryman at Oruawharo ; a list of new mem bers of the Highway Boards of Whaingaroa, Wairau, Wainui, Waipu, Dedwood, Waiotahi, Wharehine, Titirangi, and Komokoriki; the reception of assessment lists of Hunua and Opotilu Highway Districts ; the distribution schedules of the California Routa and Hand in-Haud Gold Mining Companies ; application to register the Britannia, Ophir, Carnatic, Wynyardton, and British Gold Mining Com panies ; and the notice of tho hearing of native claims at Eapanga, Coromandel, on the 4th of June next.

Mr. Inspector Broharn ran a very narrow escape of meeting with a serious accident this morning in High street; He was standing on the kerb engaged in conversation with two men when a large case of merchandise rolled off a dray that was passing at the time. His attention was directed to it by one of the men, and Mr. Broham darted on one side and so avoided the heavy weight falling on him. A deputation waited on the Provincial Treasurer yesterday in reference to the Shoal Bay road, and presented a petition praying that the road might bo formed over Captain Daldy and Mr. Keesing's property. Mr. Hurst pi'omi3ed that tho memorial should receive due consideration. The poor fellow who wa3 so murderously assaulted at Riverhead lately is recovering slowly. He is not yet out of danger, but great hopes are now entertained of his ultimate recovery. We perceive by advertisement that Mr. W. 0. Hill has commenced business as a licensed sharcbroker. His office ia No. 22, Insurance Buildings. " Gitanilla" was repeated last evening, and the farce (; Liko Master Like Man" followed. The attendance was poor. This evening two dramas will be produced, both of a sensational i chai'acter. The former appears from the bills to be wrapt in mystery ; it is entitled " The D Mount or the Female Bluebeard," and '• Under the Gaslight." Both these dramas are likely to prove attractive. The Supreme Court will sit on Monday morning next, at ten o'clock, when the caso of Eegina v. Colletfc will be called on. The civil causes will follow the despatch of that case. A soiree is announced to take place at the Public Hall, Otahuhu, on Tuesday, the 23rd instant. A concert will be given at tho City Hall by Madame Moller, on Thursday, the 25th instant. We have received another letter signed " J. Duff."

SUPREME COURT.

cimn^AL sEss>io>-g

YESTERDAY—CONTINUED.

Before Hia Honor Sir Gp^,- ■*- -om«r j-uouito, »uu :i Common Jury.

THE TRIAL OF

CYRUS HALEY.

The jury returned into Court after two hours' deliberation ; namely, from twenty minutes past three until twenty minutes past five.

By this time every part of the hall of justice was crowded, ao eager was the desire of all to know " the conclusion of the whole matter." The gallery opposite the judgment seat presented a most unusual appearance, and one that will not soon be forgotten, it being occupied almost solely by ladie3, who were waiting with equal anxiety thu announce mont of the jury's decision, and of hia Honor's judgment.

Toe Registrar demanded of the foreman what verdict tho jury had agreed upon.

The foreman replied " Guilty upon the first count," and further, in answer to his Honor, said they had concluded that finding upon the first count would carry the second. The evidence was not sufficient to their minds that the third and fourth counts —with intent to kill Thos. Russell—would carry, and they had therefore found upon those counts a verdict of " Not Guilty."

In reply to Mr. Brookfield the foreman explained that on the fifth or general count the jury also found a vsrdict of "guilty."

The Registrar then challenged prisoner at the bar what he had to say why judgment should not be passed upon him.

Prisoner had only testimonials to hand in. His Honor would consider them at the proper time. (They were handed in.)

Before the other charges were pressed against prisoner, Mr. Brookfield obtained leavp, at the instance of the Governor of the Gaol, that Haley should have an interview in the cells with Mrs. Haley.

On liia return to the dock, prisoner was arraigned on three indictments. Ist. Send ing, on January 2i, 1872, a letter to Mr. Thornaa Bussell threatening to burn and destroy two stacks of hay (letter produced, commencing " first and last intimation"), he well knowing the contents of the said letter to be his writing, against the form and statute in such cases made and provided. The prisoner pleaded Q-uilty. His Honor instructed the prisoner that when any one is called upon to say if he has anything to urge why judgnientshouldnot pass, it is to give an opportunity to object fco the form of the indictment if he had any such objec tions to raise.

The Eegiatrar: Prisoner, Have you anything to say ?

Prisoner: Nothing. Eegistrar : You also stand indicted by the name of Cyrus Haley with, on the 27fch January of the same year, feloniously, unlaw» fully and maliciously setting fire to a certain stack of hay, the property of Mr. Thomas Russell. How do you plead ? Prisoner : Guilty. Eegistrar : Have you anything to say why the judgment of the Court should not be passed upon you ?

Prisoner : Nothing. The next indictment on a charge of setting fire to a certain warehouse, the property of Messrs. Archard & Brown, in Mechanics' Bay, on the 25th January, was read over. In a louder and more stolid manner than before Haley pleaded Guilty. This caused a great sensation amongst those assembled in the public portion of the Court, which was with much difficulty suppressed.

Prisoner, in answer to the usual enquiry, said he had nothing to say why judgment should not be passed upon him. The Crown Prosecutor said there waa another charge—that of sending a threatening letter—which he would not mow press. He, however, made application under the Convicts' Property Act, of 1871, by which his Honor had power to make over the property, if any, possessed by prisoner, which, strictly speaking, was now the property of the Crown.

His Honor then passed sentence upon the prisoner, who had been convicted after an unusually protracted and he hoped patient trial of the offence charged in the first indict ment to which, he had pleaded, namely, of firing at Thomas Henry Russell with intent to commit murder. Hia Honor next indicated the various other charges to which he had pleaded "Guilty." All the offences were connected with each other, and had been evidently part of a continued and persistent plan to injure others. In reference to the testimonials handed in by prisoner, and which proved the high character he had previously borne so far as his intelligence and integrity were concerned, and tho latest of which was dated in A.pril, 1865, there was no doubt whatever; but they afforded an example of how a man might advance from a compara tively poor position to one of honour. It would also show how a strong will, coupled with an ill* balanced mind, led a man to the commission of a series of crimes as seldom fell to the lot of a Court of Justice to enquire into, nis Honor felt the case one of such vital importance to the community that it would be a scandal to the law if justice failed to convict ; and also because if convicted it would be his painful duty to pass upon prisoner one of the severest sentences the law allowed. His Honor next commented upon the threatening letter, ex pressing his belief that a great deal of it, such as ail intimation of the existence of a gang of persons associated with tho writer of the said letter, was mere bravado. In conclusion the Judge said that the indictment for sending the lettor to Mr. Russell he should not pass sentence, because prisoner would receive a much higher sentence in respect to the other offences, shooting with intent to kill, setting fire to a hay-rick, and also of setting fire to a warehouse. The sentence of the Court was that he (Haley) be kept in penal servitude lor the remainder of his natural life ; also that prisoner be made to bear the cost 3 and expenses of that prosecution. If the claims of Mrs. Haley should be deemed by the Government an object of consideration, the Court had no doubfc they would be attended to by the Government. The prisoner did not evince the slightest emotion on hearing hid suntence. There was a profound sensation in Court. His Honor thanked tie jury for the patient attention they had paid to the entire cuso, which he felt to be one af vital importance to this community, and the examination into which required that neither paina nor attention should be spared. At the instance of the Crown Prosecutor it was announced that tho case Queen v. Collett would be called on at ton o'clock on Monday, before the oivil business was pro ceeded with.

POLICE COURT.

THIS DAY.

Before Thomas Beckham, E-q., R.M.

DETTirK:EN'ITES3. Three drunkards were fined ton shillings and coats.

AN OLD TITIEF.

William Thompson was charged with stealing a door mat, valued at two shillings, from a dwelling-house in Hobson street. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. Ilia Worship : How could you now do auch a thinp ? What n«- «"»"k wuW imre tempted you ? What waa your object ? It is such a small mattress, worth only two shillings. The demon drink haa been at the bottom of this ; hasn't it now ? What is your occupation ?

Prisoner : A seaman, your Honor,

His Worship : You will now go branded as a thief and a felon. Who will trust you after that ? No one ? Sergeant Pardy, is anything known of this man ?

Sergeant Pardy : Oh yes, your Worship ! There are several previous convictions against him for larceny. (The list was then handed up to hia Worship.)

His Worship : Oh, dear me, see here now ; what is this ? No less than six previous con victions against you for larceny before 1867, and three since. This shows you are a very bad character indeed. Hal this been your first offence I should have dealt lightly with it as a small matter, but you see this is a large matter ; you hare only been out of gaol six months, you will now have to go back again. I shall sentence you to two months' imprison ment with hard labor.

This concluded the business

DISGRACEFUL ACT OF BARRATRY.

THE MISSING- SCHOONER JUBILEE

A most disgraceful act of barratry lias just come to light, by which a firm in this city have been made the sufferers. Three years ago, within a few daya, a well-found topsail schoonsr named the Jubilee left this port for Napier with a load of firewood. She was owned by Messrs. Henderson and Spraggon, and placed in command of Captain Harry Hill, a seaman in whom that firm had every confidence, having retained him in their service for six yeara previously. She arrived at Napier in due course, and again cleared at that port for Auckland, since which time nothing has ever been heard of either vessel or crew. After waiting anxiously for some time the vessel was supposed to have been wrecked, and all hands drowned, and she was reported in the newspapers as lost. She had only recently been launched, was well found and provided with every requisite, and everything on board was new when she left Auckland. Her value was estimated at £800 by the owners. We now have received information that Mrs. Moller, the wife of the captain and owner of the Dauntless, while on a visit to her friends in the old country, met Capt Harry Hill in the streets of Belfast looking hale and well. A mutual recognition took place, and Capt. Hill stated, m reply to the enquiries, that he had not returned to Auckland owing to a " little delicate affair in which a lady was concerned." He avoided all reference to the schooner when asked concerning its fate. This abuse of confidence is highly reprehensible, and it ia to be regretted that the fellow is out of reach of that punishment hia dirty conduct so richly deserves. Great indiguation is expressed by all masters of vessels who have been made acquainted with the affair, and sympathy is felt for tha owners, whose confidence has been 30 greatly abused. It ia to be hoped that Captain Harry Hill will yefc get with his deserts.

The Q-aiety advertises "Mr. Toole in two pieces." This must be a very ghastly spec tacle. Poor Mr. Toole ! It is to be hoped he will " put himaelf together again,"

The Auckland Rifle Brigade and Cadets assembled last night for parade aad drill in the Drill shed. There was a good muster, and the men acquitted themselves very creditably. A meeting was held after the drill, and the formation of a band was favourably considered.

U. K. A.

To the Editor of the Evening- Stab. Sib, —A petition is being carried from house to house at the instance of the members of the above association. I would ask, What is tho purpose of the uams ? If to be laid before the Justieea of the Peace at the forthcoming licensing meeting, surely the members of the so called U.K. A. must have over-rated their influence, even with a bench of Auckland justices, as sections 20, 23, and 24, expressly require seven days' notice of intention to oppose or to memorialize. This society, whose members are almost in mufti, appears to have strange ideas of equal rights and freedom of opinion ; but they will scarce find a bench of justices subservient enough to receive their petition in direct violation of a section of an act passed expressly to suit the said society.
