DESPERATE AFFRAY.

JNAshvtmjs, Term., October 10. — The ■Banner has a long account of a desperate attray between a coloured preacher named Joe Ranages and Dr. Shy, at the house of latter near Franklintown. It seems that an attempt was made to burn Shy's residence, and a reward was offered by Governor Brown for the arrest of the incendary. A negro detective, disguised as a workman, discovered that a plan had been formed to kill Dr Shy and wife. He then notified the intended victims, and when Ravages appeared Dr Shy met him, and a terrible encounter followed, resulting insthe death of the negro. Shy was slightly wounded. •■—.-,.

THE DESTRUCTIVE TYPHOON IN CHINA.-GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.

The full account of the destructive typhoon in China, referred to in our tele grams on Saturday, is described as the most violent and fatal within the memory of living men. It is estimated that the loss of life in the city of Victoria, in the island and villages of the immediate neighbourhood and the adjacent waters amounted to several thouaands. Six steamers and twenty seven European large vessels in the harbour were either sunk, driven on shore, dismasted, or more or less damaged, whilst the destruc tion of property on shore was wholesale. Many Chinese villages were wholly destroyed Macao—a small peninsula belonging to Por tugal—suffered worse even than Hongkong, being left literally a colossal ruin. The loss of life there was enormous. The labour of grave-digging becoming too great, the dead bodies as washed up by the sea and disen tombed from fallen houses, were heaped to gether and burned ; more than a thousand being thus destroyed in one day At least 10,000 persons perished in the K-s^angtung province only, and some accounts' put the number at 100,000. A correspondent gives the following description of Macao after the catastrophe:—"The way lies over huge mounds of debris on which one can walk only with the utmost difficulty, and occasionally not a little danger. !No description could convey an adequate idea of this desolating scene. As you near the place, you are almost arrested by—a smell, horrid and repugnant in the extreme. The large mass of rums over which I was tread ing were indeed a huge sepulchre, a mighty tomb. What number of dead bodies are lying beneath them will not be known for weeks ; the putrid essences which they emit are the only indications of death. Only a few yards off the harbour's edge a dozen corpses are floating in the water, stiff and rigid, with uplifted hands, as though the last human effort had been to clutch at anything which promised succour] It is impossible to give anything like an accurate estimate."

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN TURKEY.

A dispatch to the Times says there appears to be revivals of religious intolerance in Turkey. Not only is the observance of the Mohammedan ritual to be enforced, but a letter from Persia states that the long-for gotten ordinance prohibiting the residence of Christians in Turkish quarters have been revived. The subordinates have carried out their instructions with great brutality, bund ling the people and their furniture into the streets. Several Germans employed on the Rou mania railway, who were obliged to live near the line, have been thus treated. The decres of 1840, and the treaty of 1856 promised that nobody should be molested on account of his religious opinions. The treaties of commerce permit foreigners to carry on business in any part of the Empire, with the exception of a single province, and their leases and contracts have been treated as legal by the authorities. The measures now taken are therefore a violation of treaty obligation.

CRICKET.

Several matches were played on Saturday afteruoon, but owing to the want of punc tuality on the part of the players the games were begun too late for us to be able to publish any particulars. The Auckland Club had a practice match at Ellerslie Gardens, the sides being captained by the treasurer and secretary. The new ground affords a capital wicket. even now, and when the water is laid on, it will be a splendid field. The secretary himself (Mr. Cotton) mainly contri buted to the success of his side, as he put to gether 31 in good style. Colson also played well. On the other side, Macfarlane (Barber's substitute), made nine, but there was no other scoring of note. Several ladies and gentlemen were on the ground, and the fine weather enabled them to enjoy the sight of the contest as well as the beautiful promenade afforded by the gardens. Mr James, who is in charge of the refreshment department in the Rotunda, made a very tempting show with his strawberries and cream, which met with due appreciation. WEST END V. WAVERLY. This match was played in the Domain on Saturday and resulted in a victory for the Waverly in the first innings, the game not being played out. For the victors, Brown scored 14 by some good cricket; while for the West End, Mumford was top-scorer with 11. Lawless and Connell for the latter, and Garland for the former, did " good business " iv the bowling line.

NORTH SHORE V. PONSONBY. This game was played at the North Shore and -was the most important contest of the day. The North Shore did not come out in their full strength, perhaps from underrating their opponents, but their temerity, if such was thejj ease, met with retribution, for they had to succumb. Fletcher and Braithwaite, for the North Shore, and Masefield, Harrison, Regan, and Winter, for the Ponsonbyites, all scored into double figures. The following are the full scores:—
