GENERAL SUMMARY.

Thfj wreck of the Northfleet is announced wit\i 30 survivors. The City of London arrived at Dover with "thirty-four persons saved from the wreck ; and the cutter Princess with 21, making 85 saved out of the 347 souls on board. The night was dark when the Northfleet hailed the steamer, which took no notice of her. The boats were manned as quickly as possible. Captain Knowles consigned his wife to the care of the boatswain, and said he would go down with the ship sooner than neglect his duty. The Captain had to use his revolver in consequence of a panic, taking place on board. One man "was shot through the thigh. A witness in the Tichborne trial will be the -lost man who saw young Roger Tich borne at Rio Janeiro. Prince Arthur when at Rome was received in state at the Quirnal by the King of Italy. At the same time the Pope received a depu tation from the Sebastian Society, London, in support of his temporal authority. The English papers say that Russia may not invade° British India, but she will take up such a position as will enable her at pleasure to exercise a disturbing force and alarm England for the tranquility of India. A compromise between the Legitimists and the Oleanists in France with reference to Chambord's flag has been made. The French Government have paid the fifth milliard of the German indemnity. One hundred million francs paid by the City of Paris to Prussia will be repaid by the Versailles Government. Bismarck has received the order of the Black Ea«le, accompanied by a brilliant letter from the Emperor, signed "Your faithfully devoted, gratified King." The steamer sighted by the ship JN orthtieet, after the collision, left the men on board that ill-fated vessel to drown like dogs. A tar paulin was thrown over the figure-head to tide the name of the ship. The Government propose to pay 140 mil lion reals as an indemnity, to be awarded to shareowners at Porto Rico. President Grant has issued orders that no State offices are to be held by military offi- Empress Eugenic and Prince Napoleon are the guardians of the Prince Imperial. They proclaim the policy of the dynasty to be the same as during the life of the Emperor. Messrs Onslow and Whalley, for contempt Court, in speaking upon the case of the lich borne claimant, while sub judjce, have been fined £100 without the alternative of imprison ment. The London press made severe com ments on the judgment. The Chief Justice called the attention of the Attorney-General to the matter, and he promised that action should be taken against the oflending The Tichborne claimant's horse was taken out of the cab at Brighton, and the cab drawn by the crowd. The Central Pacific Rrailway last year earned 13 million dollars. The farmers of Essex and Suffolk are bound n a penalty of £10 not to employ Union

men. The funeral of Ex-Emperor Napoleon was attended by 35,000 English people, and all his family except the Cardinal and Pierre Bona part followed after the procession. The Prince Imperial was saluted as Napoleon IV. but declined acknowledging. The late Emperor's will has not yet been published. In the mining districts of South Wales 40,000 colliers are on strike. £100,000 per •week is being sacrificed. Mr Otway, in addressing his constituents at Chatham, attributed to Bismarck the ill opinion that continental statesmen have about England. He said, " What good is England. Everybody knows she won't fight." Mr Otway says he left the foreign office rather than submit to the insolent demand of Russia respecting the neutrality of the Black Sea. Sir Charles Dilke held a meeting at Derby on the land tenure question. He was rushed by roughs employed by the local gentry. France has lost two millions of population in five years.

Constable Broderick, of the Darlinghurst Police-station, received intelligence by the mail, which arrived on Friday last, that it is probable that he will soon come into posses sion of properity to the value of about £18,000 a year, together with a share in a very large sum of money in cash, he being next of kin and heir-at-law to the late Senator Broderick, of San Francisco, who was shot in a duel some years ago by Judge Terry. The will is now being contested, and it is confidently expected that the result will be in favour of Mr Broderick,

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas BeckMm, Esq., R.M.) ' Drunkenness. Henry Bennett, John Hughes, Bridget Mortis, John Daniels, and Peter Cabrera were severally charged with being drunk last night, and dealt with in the usual manner, except Hughes, who was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment with hard labour, this being his third offence. VAGRANCY. Walter Pell was charged under the ! Vagrancy Act of 1869 with being found on the premises of Messrs Holdship & Co. with out any visible means of sttpport on the i9th instant. , Three months' imprisonment with hard labour, ABUSIVE LANGUAGE AND ASSAULT. James Caradus, jun., a printer, appeared in answer to two charges—the first with | using insulting and abusive language, and the second with assaulting Mr G. M. Main, one of the overseers in the Herald office. Mr Thorite appeared for the prosecution, and stated that the defendant had been em ployed in the Herald office, and that Mr Main had been ordered to dismiss him for misconduct. In carrying out the above instructions these offences were committed. The defendanb was now desirous of making a full apology, and to express his regret for what hadjoccufred, and wouldjpay all expenses consequent thereon. That being so, he (Mr Thome) was instructed not to press the charges, which were accordingly withdrawn. CRIMINAL ASSAULT. Robert Stinson, an old man, was charged with committing a rape on an idiot child named R,osanna McArthur, on the I.4th in stant. Mr Joy appealed for the prosecution, and Mr Thorne for the prisoner. Dr. Mark E. B. Nicholson stated that from his own knowledge the child had been an idiot from her birth, and from an original defective condition of the brain. She was wholly incapable of holding conversation, or of understanding right from wrong. He had examined the child on the day of the assault, and again this morning, and stated the re sults. Margt. McArthur, wife of Peter McArthur, was examined, and said she lived in Chancery street, and that on the day in question she was in her house with her daughter. The prisoner came to her house on the previous night as a lodger. Her daughter waa born in April, 1860. She has never been right in her mind from the period of her birth. On Friday, the 14th instant, witness went into her kitchen at the back of her house, about three o'clock in the afternoon, when she dis covered the prisoner and her child behind the kitchen door upon a blanket. * *_ * Witness struck the accused on the head with a can, and screamed out, when two men came running to ascertain the cause of her scream ing. She saw the prisoner in the act of com mitting the offence. Laurence Giveny, Labourer, said he was lodging at Me Arthur's on the 14th instant. He was eating his dinner when Mrs McArthur asked him if he would have a cup of tea, and she went to the kitchen for the purpose of getting him one. He heard her scream, and ran out immediately, and from what he saw he pitched the prisoner into the yard and afterwards gave him into custody. Sergeant-Major Pardy deposed to taking the prisoner into custody at 3 p.m. on the 14th, when he said he was sorry he went to M'Arthur's to get into such trouble. Witness had known the child as an idiot for three years ; he went to Me Arthur's, and sent for Dr. Nicholson at once, who arrived within a puarter of an hour and examined the child. The depositions were read over, and the prisoner, who reserved his defence, was fully committed for trial at the next criminal sittings at the Supreme Court. LITTLE JAPHET. D. Bullen was charged by Eliza Lestrange with refusing to support an illegitimate child, fourteen months old. Mr. Joy, for the defence, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Bennett stated that the complainant was a woman of bad character. Eliza Lestrange, Sarah Welsh, and Bridget Lestrange were examined. His Worship said that the coroborative testimony was not sufficient to make an order upon the defendant, and he must dismiss the case, but that would not prevent the case from being brought forward at another time. SABAH CARROLL. Sarah Carroll was charged with calling Mary Knox strange names; and John Lestrange was charged with retaliating upon Sarah Carroll. These charges were dismissed on the parties promising not to fall out in future. This was aW the business.

BISHOP CROKE'S DEMONSTRATION. (To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sib,—lt was with a good deal of surprise that I perused in the columns of your morning contemporary, the Herald, a letter from Dr. Croke, apologising for not having taken part in the farewell demonstration to the Governor and Lady Bowen. I think the members of the Bishop's own communion will regret that he should have written such an intemperate epistle. The writer must have been in a very unhappy frame of mind when he penned it, and, on reflection he will see that he has not acted wisely or prudently. It would be well if the ."meek and lowly" gentleman would curb his natural impul siveness, and calmly consider the effect of such injudicious conduct on he public mind. A short time ago he grossly insulted the breth ren of the "mystic tie," and now the members of the Orange Institution in Auck land are the objects of his sweeping denun ciation. He could not take part in the demonstration to do honor to the representa tive of Royalty because forsooth it was announced;that the Orangemen-a class of men who have ever been in every part of the world where they have existed con spicuous for their loyalty and their attach ment to the throne of England—were to join with their fellow-citizens m paying a well merited mark of respect to the Governor. Lady Bowen, and family. He pourtrays. in the most offensive manner, the so.called "Characteristics" of the Orangemen of Ire land but I do not think the Governor or any person who has lived in the North of Ireland, or any other loyal part of it, will endorse the writer's estimate of the members of the Orange institution, or his statement of the motives by which they are actuated, lhe Doctor has written in utter ignorance, as 1 cannot think he would wilfully make such unfounded statements regarding a body of men who have always been the upholders of law and order and whose existence, it has been more than once acknowledged in the Imperial Parliament, has had a wholesome check upon the rowdyism and lawlessness of illegal societies in the old country,—of whose existence the Bishop may have some little knowledge. I am not a member of the Orange Society, but I have read the code of rules adopted tor their guidance both in their private and public life. They breathe a Christian spirit, and inculcate " peace and goodwill towards men." I ask you, Mr Editor, or any unpre judiced reader of Bishop Croke's letter, if its tendency is not (to quote his own words) " to foster and foment social discord, and to

ajrra-y bile section of the people in deadly hostility against another." In conclusion I would take the liberty of re minding Dr. Croke that he cannot with impunity openly insult a large pection of the community, and that the effects of his un seemly and uncharitable conduct will recoil upon himself.—l am, etc., A North of Ireland Man.

Auckland, 19h March, 1873

THE VOICE OF THE BELL.

Ltf * hie tip, iif t me Up, where the good sparrows perch, To the shingled roof of Saint Matthew's Church, That the people may list to the sounding knell Of a patientjand long-neglected bell! For weeks and months I have waited here, Nor warden nor parson have lingered near : None raised me up in my strength and prime Where I might speak with a tongue of time. Soon, soon, w?ll the damps of storm and shower Corrode with rust my iron power ; And hinder when lifted above the throng The monotone of my own dong! dong! Say, is there no by-law to compel The lifting from dust of St. Matthew's bell, That I may proclaim the service time In lieu of some varying bim-bom chime. Oh, yes, loin bell, tliou wilt yet be free, Yon tower of thechurchismeantforthee! There, in thy pride, thou Shalt swing ere long, And the world shall list to thy Sunday dong!
