Presently torches were seen gleaming, and an express van appeared bearing figures that to the people for a time seemed real. The horse was draped in black, and on him was seated an effigy of Mr Vogel, bearing a remarkable resemblance to that statesman. Mr Vogel was bareheaded, his hair character istically parted in the centre and shining with tar. In the front on the waggon stood a tall figure, a fair representation of Mr Reader Wood, and by his side a figure bear ing not a bad resemblance to Mr William Buckland. In the rear stood two other figures, one representing in face and figure Mr. Creighton, and by his side a somewhat gaunt figure with the right hand holding an eye-glass to his eye, in the left a pail. This figure bore the name of Mr Luckie. The figures were all life-size, and being properly clothed, and, excepting the leading figure, having hats somewhat battered on their heads, presented the most grotesque appearance. The excitement and amusement of the people was of the most uproarious description. As the procession proceeded down the street, the torchbearers accompanying, the crowd, which must have numbered five or six thousand, gave charac teristic vent to their feelings, and we are informed that the uproar was heard several miles from the city. It must be admitted, however, that the sense of the ludicrous pre dominated for the time over the feeling of indignation, and that good humour and fun, rather than anything like maliciousness, swayed the current of human beings that rolled down our principal street. The pose of Mr Vogel would make Solomon laugh. The Premier's left hand was fastened to the reins, and he had some loose attachment to the tail board of the vehicle, so that his motions were free and unimpeded. He swayed forward on the horse's neck, then swung up majestically, while his right arm from some peculiarity in the elbow-joint swung out from time to time at right angles, as if he was addressing the crowd. The motion of the horse's head on the reins made him appear as if he was driving like fury, and with the oratorical demonstrations of the right arm the effect was indescribably amusing. Mr Reader Wood stood up majes tically, the motion of the vehicle making him nod his head at the people as if in disappro bation. Mr Buckland looked stern and fierce. Mr Creighton appeared to hang his head, and keep his hat down over his eyes. Mr Luckie somehow dropped the pail shortly after starting, but he continued to the last look ing through the eye-glass at the people who surged and swelled around the cart. On pass ing the Cross office the crowds groaned vigorously for Mr Vogel. Over the newly macadamised portions of tho street the shaking of the vehicle gave extraordinary animation to the figures, and Mr Vogel seemed frantic in his efforts at keeping his steed to the work. Away up Shortland-street the throng rolled onward, while many hundreds rushed through Vulcan lane and swarmed up the Barrack hill. At the junction of Queen and Short land-streets the throng was so dense that it was feared some accident would occur, and several persons fell and had narrow escapes from being trampled. We are pleased to learn, however, that beyond a few bruises and some burns in the after proceedings, no injury occurred, nor was there any thing like a riotous and disorderly spirit manifested by any one, good temper universally prevailing. By the time the procession had reached the Barrack square proximity to the Premier had led the crowd to undue familiarity with Mr Vogel, and several had been lighting matches and poking them against his clothing. At length these amateur attempts disturbed the order of the programme, for the fire reaching the com bustibles in his inwards the Premier was im mediately in a blaze. The drapery on the horse also caught, and for a moment or two there was a risk of the animal being burned. With difficulty they severed the couplings, and the blazing minister was flung to the ground on hia back. The procession pro ceeded, leaving Mr Vogel to his fate, Mr Luckie still looking back through his eye glass, as if in regret that in death they should thus be divided. On Mr. Vogel touching earth he was rushed on by the crowd, who struggled around his blazing form. At length one caught him by the arms, and another by the hind leg, and, like a rocket or a shooting star, the Prime Minister was seen soaring heavenward, coming down on the Bward with a thundering thud. Mr Vogel burned well, and long after all his followers had been consumed a crowd stood around his blazing remains, the fumes whereof they persistently affirmed were distinctly sul phurous. After unshipping the Premier the procession had proceeded, but it was soon apparent that the impatience of the crowd, manifested by Bticks and other missiles projected at the heads of the figures, would not enable the conductors to carry out the original plan. The gallows, with ropes and hooks, were among the furnishings of the funeral car, but lambent flames running up the coats presently showed that the amateurs were again at work, and that the legislators must be taken to earth, or the destruction of the equipage would be the result. Already the form of Mr Wood was wreathed in blazes, and efforts were made to detach him frem the fixings. He preserved a sublime indifference, and when dismounted and borne aloft in procession, supported by tw» bearers, each holding a leg, he moved not a muscle. At length he was seen shooting skyward, the dripping tar making it un pleasant to his bearers. Mr Buckland was brought to earth wrapped in fire. He burned with extraordinary rapidity, so that nobody durst go near him" In a few minutes he was ! consumed, Mr Creighton, after being battered a bit, was left to burn out in a I corner. Mr Luckie kept his eye-glass up to the last, and even when his head was knocked off by a backhander from some enthusiastic admirer of a free press, the right hand bore aloft the eye-glass opposite to where the eye ought to be. Mr Luckie burned slowly and died hard. The last dying speech of each, as well as tho gallows and ropes was in readiness, but owing to the earnestness of the amateur assistants the after part was curtailed. Crowds gathered around each blazing form, which from time to time was flung aloft to the no inconsider able risk of the spectators. At length, after three ringing cheers for Mr. O'Rorke, and three for the Evening Stae, the crowds dispersed.

MELBOURNE.

August IS,

Rumours are current that the Californian mail service collapse was occasioned by Mr Hall's sudden departure per Mikado. The Government telegraphed to London for in formation. Meanwhile the City of Melbourne is advertised to take the mail under the management of the S.N. Company, calling only at Honolulu. The 'Nubia' with the Suez mail is ex pected at Adelaide. At a mining accident at the Prince of Wales claim,, Ballarat, yesterday afternoon, two men were killed.

A meeting of shareholders in Tookey's mine was held at Ballarat yesterday, and re solved that the capital of the company be increased from £77,500 to £117,500, by the issue of 20,000 new shares at £2 each ; also resolved that the Tookey Company Associa tion borrow £50,000 from the New Zealand Government, and the Tookey to give a mort gage of £15,000 as a share proposed of tbe loan, but no security to be given which would have the effect of causing any liability to shareholders.

The slander action, McKerr, solicitor, v. Neeley, where plaintiff was accused by by defendant, a clerk in Crown Solicitor's office, with putting his name to a list of witnesses' expenses after it had been signed by the judge, a verdict was returned by defendant.

The Want-of - Confidence motion in tbe Government, being debated two nights, was negatived without division. The Govern ment then proceeded with the ordinary business, and is likely matters will proceed quietly until the Treasurer makes his financial statement, when a fresh onslaught will be made over the tariff question. Two vacancies in the Council have been filled by the unopposed re-election of the retiring members. The libel action, Walker v. George, the publisher of the Australasian, resulted in a verdict for plaintiff on two counts. Damages a farthing, and for defendant on one count. The judge refused to certify for plaintiff's costs.

COMMERCIAL.

Business continues dull. Breadstuff's a trifle firmer, wheat, 6s 4d to 6s 5d j for prime oats, not much dealt in ; 4s 4d to 5s for feeding. A London telegram reporting blight in the hop crop has caused sales to be made at a considerable advance. Large sales in unbottled ale and stout are reported. Brandies dull.
