The Anglo-Australian contributes an ex cellent account of his visit to the Vienna Exhibition. He was present when the Em peror of Germany passed through the various courts, and alludes to his examination of th-5 New Zealand department as follows :— "Passing on to the New Zealand Depart ment he examined the tweeds manufactured by Webley Bros., of Nelson, and the cord, sacking, and twilled cloth and sheeting manufactured from the phormiim ienax. There were some little black seeds of the phormhnn close at hand, and the Director of the Russian Botanical Gardens begged some of them. He was im mensely pleased with the fibre and the manufactures therefrom. Indeed I may say that this fibre has attracted much attention among the professors and manufacturers of both Austria and Germany. Passing on to the skeletons of the Moa and Palahteryx elephantopus, which have been erected in the centre of the room, and which form the most striking objects in the Exhi bition, the Emperor seemed astonished at the size of the skeleton of the Moa, and examined it with some attention. The next object which came under his observation was Dr Buller'a work on the " Birds of New Zealand." An engraving of

the Moa forms the frontispiece of this excel lent book. The coloured engravings of the several species of birds common to New Zea land are executed in the n'rst style of art, and the Emperor seemed very much pleased with the work. A hurried inspection was then made of the clubs, mats, war implements, and Maori robes sent by Dr Featheistone; of an inlaid cabinet sent by Mr T. L. White, of Auckland, the wool sent by Mr H. P. Murray-Aynsley, Mr Robert Tin line, Mr G. A. Anstey, and several others. He then examined attentively a collection of stuffed birds, which is considered one of the most striking and attractiveobjectsinthe New Zealand Court. This collection was brought from hhe colony by Mr James Brogden, F.G.S. (one of the well-known linn of Messrs Brogden and Sons). It contains many curious birds, and the whole of them are very success fullystuffed. Itisthe finestexhibitionofnatural history that has been attempted at any of the ''Internationals," and the colony is in debted to Mr Brogden for the great labour and trouble he has devoted to the object. The birds have been set up by Mr Burton, of Wardour-street, a very skilful taxider mist, and, as I gather from the official catalogue, the specimens have all been named and classified in conformity with jDr. Buller's "History of the Birds of New Zealand." He then pro ceeded to view the specimen of gold ; the inlaid cabinet exhibited by Dr Buller ; the model representing a bar of gold weighing 37") oy», as exported by the Bank of New Zea land ; the jewellery sent by Kohn and Sons, of Auckland ; kauri gum, sent by Mr Robert Walker, of Auckland ; glue from the Kaikorai Glue Works; a novel thing in punch bowls, quaintly carved in wood, and sent by Mr Kobert Graham ; the geological specimens, ores, and minerals ; the wheat exhibited by Messrs W. D. Wood, J. H. Eogers, J. G. Bluett, J. and T. Meek, James llunciman, and J. W. Tosswill; the flour shown by Messrs W. D. Wood, J. 11. Eodgers, W. H.

CHOLERA AMONGST A BATCH Oh' NEW ZEALAND

EMICtKANTS

Four cases of cholera occurred on July 28 among a party of emigrants who had landed at Blackwall the same day. The greater number of these emigrants, who came from Copenhagen, Jutland, Zetland, and Sweden, sailed from Copenhagen for Kiel on the 22nd. The whole party, about eighty in num ber, embarked at Hamburg for London, where they were to be transferred to the ship which was to carry them to their ultimate destination, New Zea land. From the time of the emigrants leaving Copenhagen to the time of reaching Blackwall no illness of any kind, so far as can be' astertained, had broken out among them. Soon after the ship had arrived at Blackwall one of the emigrants, a Dane, forty-five years of age, was seized with choleraic symptoms ; and he, with fifteen others, was sent to a lodging-house in Queen street, near the Mint. The other emigrants were distributed in several lodging houses in the same district. At seven o'clock, the same morning, and in the same lodging-house, another of the the emigrants, a girl of about twelve years of age, a Swede, who had joined the party at Copenhagen, was attacked with cholera, and she died at two o'clock in the afternoon. The man first attacked has since died. The case were first seen by Mr Holt, of the Minories, who, recognising their importance, at once communicated with the Medical Depart ment of the Local Government Board. Dr Buchanan and Dr Gwnne Harries, under instructions from the Board, visited the cases, and recognising in them true Asiatic cholera, immediately proceeded to co-operate with the medical officer of health for the district in which they occurred, Mr John Liddle, and the medical officer of health, Mr Harry Leach, in taking such measures as were requisite to prevent the spread of the disease. Up to the present time no other case of cholera has occurred, among .the emi grants, but several of them are suffer ing from more or less severe diarrhoea. Strenuous efforts are being made to get the whole party of emigrants together for the purpose of isolating them, and placing them under medical observation. The party ex pected to have sailed on July 29 from the Thames for New Zealand, but they will be prohibited from joining any ship until they can.do so without danger, to them selves or to other emigrants. There can be no doubt that the party of emigrants contracted cholera before leaving Hamburg. The greatest care and attention, are bestowed on all, and an ample and gener ous supply of fresh meat and such other articles of diet as may be ordered by the medical officer supplied to them. Dr Feather stone, the New Zealand Government officer, is doing everything to contribute to their welfare,

EXTRAORDINARY ATEMPTTED SUICIDE BY THREE WOMEN.

An extraordinary case of attempted suicide by three young women occurred on the sth August; at Spring-hill, Birmingham. Shortly after nine o'clock a young man named Henry Vanghan was passing along the canal side, near to Spring-hill, when he heard screams proceeding from the water, near to the boiler works. On looking in the direction whence the sorearrta came he perceived th:ee females struggling together in the water. Vanghan at once ran to the spot, and tried to rescue them, at the same time calling for assistance. Several men came in answer to his calls, and by their aid the females were got out. Their names afe Rachel A mold, residing in Aberdeen street; Pi cebfi Shott, 27, Ingleby street ; and Har riet- Fowkes, back of 27, Ingleby street • and their ages range from seventeen to twenty-one years. Arnold and Shott were tied together with a shawl, and when they came out of the water they were in a very exhausted state, but they soon recovered sufficiently to be able to walk home. It was not so, however, with Fowkes. It was noticed that when she was in the water she appeared to be underneath the other two girls. and when she came out she was unconscious, and in that condition was conveyed home. Mr E. T. Burton, surgeon, of Spring-Mil, was sent for, and on arrival he used means for the recovery of ITowkes, who would un doubtedly have been entirely drowned if she had remained in the water a little longer. With proper treatment it is expected she will recover. Police-constable Bacon was sum moned to the house, and removed the girl to the workhouse, and .afterwards took Arnold and Shot into custody. As to what motive prompted the mi fortunate girls to attempt suicide nothing de iinite is. known. !t was stated that Fowkes wonted to go to West Bromwich for some purpose with Arnold and Shott, and that her mother made an objection which offended her. She then loft the house and went with the other girls to a public-house, where they drank aquantity of spirits, Fowkes treating her companions. They left the public-house partially intoxicated, and were not seen again until they were found in the canal. All of them were employed ;it Messrs Xettlefold and Chamberlain's screw manufactory. The affair created much ex citement in the neighbourhood.

POLICE COURT

Tins Day. (Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., E.M.)

ImUNKENNKSS.

Cornelius Scullen, an elderly man and very deaf, Thomas Cullen, another white-headed offender, and a closely-shaved youth named Charles John Molloy, were lined 10.4 each for being drank last night.

TAMKS (iRATNCKII'S KITS.

James Grainger, v strong young man, was charged with assaulting Constable Cudell while in the execution of his duty by striking Lim in the face with his clenched fist, kick ing him, and damaging his jumper, value £2 15s ; also with using violent language towards Mary Ann Smith, a young married woman! residing in Albert-street, and threatening to cut her throat on Thursday evening last.

Mary Ann Smith deposed that she knew the prisoner, who called upon her on Thursday evening for the avowed purpose of bidding her good-bye, as he said, "for ever," unless she would go on an excursion with him. lie appeared perfectly sober at the time, but subsequently he returned in a savage state of intoxication. She induced him to lie upon the sofa, where he appeared to slumber for a time. Jfe then rose up in a most furious state, and rushed about for a knife, swearing he would cut her throat and that of her sister, and lay them out dead side by side. Sfie immediately ran out of the house in terror, believing he intended to

carry his threat into execution, and found refuge in a neighbour's house.

Prisoner said he was partly guilty. That on Tuesday last he came out of gaol, and was met by Mrs Smith, whom he knew, and who invited him to her house, and he was sorry to say he was soft enough to go, but he could not remember abusing her in the manner described.

Albert Win. Jones, grocer, of Wellesley street, deposed that on Thursday evening Mrs Smith came running into his shop in a state of terror, soliciting his protection from the prisoner, who was chasing her, and swearing he would' cut her throat and then put an end to the life of her bister. Prisoner then locked|Mrs Smith's house up, and kept the key in his possession.

Mrs 'Smith further deposed that prisoner wished her to <i;o away with liim in the Taranaki, which she refused to do—ahe was a married woman.

Several other witnesses were in Court who heard the prisoner's threats, but the Court did not think it necessary to call them.

Prisoner endeavoured to defend his con duct.

His Worship said it was clear that prisoner was a man of a very violent nature, and his character could not be good, or on a former occasion he might have found sureties in the low sum of £5, instead of going to prison. He should commit him to prison for one month for the assault on the constable. For damaging the jumper he would have to pay a fine of 10s, and the cost of the damage, or one month ; and for using threatening language towards Mary Ann Smith he must be bound in a £50 bond, and find two sureties of £25 each to keep the peace for six months. MR CHOAT'.S CUIMNJiY. John Choat, baker of Hobson-sti'eet, was charged with allowing the chimney of his house to take lire on the morning of the 24th of September.

Mr Keetley appeared for defendant, and stated that Mr Choat had not long occupied the premises, and he was not aware of the dangerous state of the chimney. Mr Broham? stated that had the fire not been discovered in time the consoquence might have been disastrous.

His "Worship urged the necessity of greater care being exercised by citizens, and imposed a fine of 20s and costs.

This was all the business

WA NTED KNOWN, that MTKrf PEN'NAL has much pleasure in in troducing to the public of Auckland the Most Useful Lock-stitch Sowing Machine ever yet imported : PRINCESS OP WALKS. TMs admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock stitch Machine yet invented. It la so simple that the most inexperienced can operate it without any previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange ment by ordinary use. The range of application is practically unlimited : anything that cm be worn or require stitching in a house can be executed on this Machine, The tension rarely requires regulating. From muslin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leather may be sewn without change of need'e or cotton, or alteration of tension The work is easily guided by one hind, while the other is employed in turning it. When lixed on a stand it can be operated by hand or foot at pleasure, and it is then as efficient as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of domestic use, it can be applied to many variet'es of manufacturing use, .such as dregs-making, inautle makiag, stay-making; and tailoring. ENGLAND'S QUEJSN. This remarkable Machine presents some entirely new features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and more varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its application to pl.in sewing of every kind it exactly rc.temhics the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machine to herring-bone stitching and to overseaming. This is effected by simply turning a screw, and the width and length of the stitch are regulated at pleasure. The arrangement permits of the over, earning or herring-boning of any fabric whatever, and w'll be found of immense value in the manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work IJ iovms where elasticity,is required the stitch of this Machine is superior to every existing Machine. Tt is important to observe that all these advantages are obtained with the most perfect simplicity of construc tion. /TSTNotc the addiess:- MISS PKNNAL, Dross Mantle-maker, and Machinist, West E.nij House W A XXI •• I V.
