The Hydaspes.

Fresh Cases of Fever.

to Ifarn that the outbreak of a fK" pf f fever, and possibly another since ft* 1* CS!>e ocrs of the Hydaspes have been , jjjj P aSseB t f p Quarantine Station, renders it jjßd^ B', t jj,t they will be released for iffl|ir" h. io come. Th* first case that made ,otne time WBS that of a ma>ried immi j{sapp ce*r g1 yjj ne ld, who has a wife and two pin*. 114 Upon the appearance of symptoms ctf'^iLgcethe parent was removed to the ■ / and yesterday the unmistakable ont on his body. His case is !igDV re(l o f a very severe type. * a will "" by the pigeon message £>iven below, **?Twas removed to the hospital last night, *^ g manifested fever symptoms. We are ' orry to learn that a child named nrtijim T Tuderwood, one year old, •j t the island yesterday of bionchitis ; ■ offin is being made in town, and will be '"{"down. -As will auo be seen by the *f expreS3 there are several causes of ''Llaint am nig the immigrants. With Cence to that relating to water, we may Jltion that barrels of water have been {down to meet all wants It is certainly arable that this necessity at the station aid be permanently supplied as speedily Lsible. Mr D.;y, on behalf of the saloon jeng<ra f forwarded a petition to the Lrmtendent praying that they may be biased. The petition sets out that the «!oon passeneers have been kept separate join the immigrants on the voyage out, and ■jpeearrival; they also state that they and ilJtheir belongings have been fumigated and jodanger coul«1 arise from their release. We neitainfy think their request might so far be mpliti with as to remove them to some plicespecially set apart in Auckland. SALOON PASSENGERS' RELEASE.

[Since the above was in type, we learn Hat Ur Phil? on, to the petition was referred, has agreed to the saloon passengers coming up. The steamer leaves to bring Hem up at 5 p.m.]

(PER CARRIER PIGEON.)

The Star carriers are looked upon with much interest as lit tie messengers from the |«d of promise, which we, like Moses of old, ieem doomed to look at only " from afar off." A young girl (adult) was taken to the hos jtal last night, and this morning her raptoms very much resemble those of the ({hers wbo have suffered from scarlet fever. MrW. D<y, of the firm of Heywood and Co., of Christchurcb, who is a saloon pissenger and accompanied by his rife and child, has sent a peti tion to ihe Chairman of the Board of Health requesting that the saloon UEPngers may be released There is great complaint among the saloon psssensers regarding the inconveniences they tie put to, es-psi.ily tVieir occupying the ssme builoing as Government immigrants, Bid which i 3 the case, we are told, jSno other quarantine station. The want of proper closets is also a source of great annoyance. The well is nearly empty, and, as a conse quence, some of the £.irls have not washed for three days, and the want of pure water is greatly felt by all. Sine of the immigrants have been em ploying thenr'selves making artetian wells. Poor old Mr. Collins, of Nelton, a saloon pas-enger, is in a very frail state. He is sigbty years of sge, and is possessed with a iird idea that unless removed from the sland within a few days he will surely die. Ibis conviction is likely to biing about the auit. Can you not do something for him ? The casp of the immigrant Flyfield, who utiken to hospital a few days ago, is a rare one. The spots broke out yesterday. I wooden cross has been erected orer the se of Miss i ong, Mrs Babot having kindly iajed the cose. This is the first, yiave on h island, and we hope there will be no lore.

MR. STAINFS1 PROPOSED VISIT TO

THE THAMES,

GKABAMSTOWN. (From our own Correspondent.) This day. The Ohinemuri correspondent of the Utertiser says 1c Moanauui promised to *md at Mr. Mackay's office on Saturday, todidnot. On Monday, instead of going he picked a squabble with Went Taipari about a small piece of land. \-day was spent, then food was pro- and no business done. k Mackay addressed the natives, and * it was evident Moanaaui was trying to and that he showed no inclination to .^through the accounts. He would simply kform the tribe what was due, namely, £5067 odd. Moananui thought Mr. Mackay impatient, to. Mackay replied he had other busi' ess, 'id did not, mean to be humbugged. When '^steamer left, some of that tribe (the Uga ftwhiki) wanted to go into individual ac- but Mr. Mackay told them to go to ™6 office for information. ft looks as if the hold-on circular parties Echooling Moananui. learns from the natives that 'he great oppositionist against opening now, j?PotTeHira, so much as Moananui. Its «»«i Correspondent's letter goe3 to show that we information is correct. , Moananui sold the greater part of his land, Bl'tuted at the northern part of this penin fiala, and has gone to t hinemuri, where he 18 exerting his influence as a chief, to fevent the country being opened. Te Hira is said to he undecided. In con- Vefsatioa with Mr Mackay, lie says he had given up opposition outside ; and amongst tfae natives, talks about holding on. The natives believe that if the chiefs of Ohine *nri do not consent to the opening, the f!ative Minister will not take eteps to force w»«n. The belief ia founded on their know ia?(ie of the man, and his communications JWa them. Mr Mackay seems to be work lnK hard for the ohj-ct. fcajsihe Advertiser of Mr Staioes' pro- Poseo visit : _" Who are the " several gen- Wemen of influence?"

GRUMBLING OF THE FIELDING SETTLERS.

LADY FERGUSSON GOING HOME,

DEPARTURE OF THE GOVERNOR

COAST SERVICES FOR THE SAN FKaJnCIS :o MAIL.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. About one hundred people, all told, strag gling over a very large space, was ail who saw the Governor off. About thirty of the hijji and mighty ones escorted him down Brown's wharf, a few shaking hands with him. Upon stepping into the boat, the group of gentlemen on the wharf doffed their hats, and made a desperate attempt at cheering, but it was a regular Wellington one, not much more than resonant ihan a beggar's prayer, and not half so thorough. It was a mean spirited cheer. There was no wind, and for hours the little craft scarcely made any way, but the tide alone will tuke her out to-night. The Fielding block, though presenting all outward and visible signs of a happy settle ment and prosperous, is iiot an Arcadia of bliss yet, nor is it likely to be. unless when every man shall sit beneath his own vine and tig tree. 'J ho cwmpany, being businesa-iike, insist upon the immig ants paying as they go', and a pret'y stiff instalment of that is expenses incurred in placing them upon the Jand. In consequence, the immi grants have not much to take wtekJ3' out of their wages, after deducting the liquidation mon-y, little is ltft for liquor, and they anathemise the "dead horse" business. They have little low, and will have less when the new pub has been opened a short time.

Madame Goddard gives her last perform ance this evening, and at the request of a number of citizens has consented to play some of Beethoven's music.

Lady Feryuss-on is expected to go horns in the ship Haleioue, which leaves here shortly. Auckland wtaild put Wellington under a heavy debt of gratitude if it would just now lend us a candidate for Mayor who would please all parties The N Z.S.S. Co. offer for the Inter-pro vincial mad service, in connection with the San Francisco service, was £2300 per annum. The Government has declined and will only arrange from month to month, and not pay a'oDve £120 per trip. It is said they are waiting till the vessels building for the new <~>tago Company are on the coast, when they will get the contract. Mr Moorhouse is likely to staud for Mayor.

The Governor was unable to hold an Executive Council yesterday before his de pal ture, to Cunsider the petition for Mc- Donald's release. The matter ttands over till the new Governor arrives.

ASTOUNDING ASSERTION BY A CLERGYMAN IN DUNEDIN.

DUNEDIN".

(From our own Correspondent). This day,

The Mataura's passage was unusually stormy. On October 2G she <ncountered a hurricane, accompanied by a hail and snow storm, and terrific sea. The vessel at the time was under three lower topsails. At 2 a.m. a very heavy sea rolled on board over the port quarter, washing the man at the wheel on to the main deck, fracturing his leg and making a clean sweep of everything on the poop and flooding the cabin. The gale meanwhile increased in violence, the barometer falling rapidly. By noon it stood at the unprecedented low range of 27 90. 1 he fall, says Captain Keers, in a long expe rience was such as he had never seen. He says he npver heard of the mercury falling so low before The lower fore and. mizzen top sails, both nearly new sails, were blown clean away and only the ropes left, and the ship was scudding with nothing but the lower maintopsail, which, fortunately held on, the ship going between eleven and twelve knots, the aea rolling clean over t>ie vessel, filling the lifeboat on the starboard side and bending the davits double. A second gale was en countered, on the 3rd of November of almost equal force The passengers speak in the highest terms of the behaviour of the ship and captain. The deluded passengers by the Comet have carried out their intention of proceeding criminally against the person who sent them to Dunedin. Mcelroy will be charged at the Magistrate's Court for obtaining money under false pre tences. What evidently is a clear case of incen diarism is now being investigated by the poiice, and to morrow or next day will form the subject of enquiry On the left hand side of DouliDg-street, nearly opposite Bell Tower, there is a large old wooden building now occupied as a boarding-bouse and registry-office by Mrs. Dick, who rents it from Mrs. Clayton, former occupier. On Wednesday evening Mrs. Dick went out, leaving in it her husband, Mrs Clayton, and two lodgers, one of the latter being confined to bed. On her return, after an hour's absence, she smelt fire, and a search led to the discovery of a fire between the walls of the kitchen and passage, but having obtained very slight hold, it. was easily.extinguished. Between the walls she found a quantity of burnt ashes, wood, and charcoal, which could only have been placed there by the inmates of the house. The furniture of the house belongs to Mrs. Clayton, and it was insured for £250 There has been ill-blood between Clayton and Dicks. The Star's Palmer correspondent dis courages rushing there He does uot think there has been any gold fields where men, by easy work, could have made so much gold in a few days. He says: —"Sometimes it ia on surface of the ground, and four feet is considered deep, but the c aims are too small a claim holding out for four weeks is a thing not known of. Diggers have made one pound weight every day, but the claim was worked out in three days. Parties lam ac

Fever and dysentry are the prevalent epidemic* Pity those who are without means ; fHeads are then no where." Ue Times today devotes a satirical editorial to Mr Holloway'a gushing, especially about the province of Taranaki. 'it touched upon the JSorth Island land question, and stigmatised the grand landed estate of the JNorth land fund as a delusion. It is sure that the best of the land is already mono polised by capitalists, and even that is utfHfc l°J %ain;growing. It thinks it high time the laofi fund balloon was punctured, before the bouth is ltd further astray by it. ' At a meetiDg of the recently established -fress Club, on Saturday evening, the rules were amended and added to. Judee Chap man was elected a life member. The Club is flourishing excellency, and liberally increas ing ihe Rev. Mr Stack, Maori Missionary, preached at St Paul's church on .-un.iay night, and made the astounding assertion that during the two centuries following the day of Pentecost, all ( hristians were "alike gifted with supernatural, powers and prophecy, and healing. J.Morton, engineer of the steamer Wallabi, was drowned at the Molyneaux on Friday last. He fell whilst stepping from the steamer to the wharf, he leaves a wife and two children. He insured his life for £200 a few weeks ago. Captain Pa'tchell of the ship May Queen, was entertained at a banquet to-day by pas sengers and received an address and cold locket.

MAYORALTY

WELLINGTON,

[Per Press Telegram Agency.]

Tins day. The Times this morning announces that Mr. B»wen, Resident Magistrate, Christ church, h-iS lon appointed a Minister of th» Crown, and denounces the appointment It says : -■" V\ c are not a" are what claim that gentleman has. He may he au able man, bun wo ohjecr, in the most emphatic terms to a gentleman bean taken from the rank-and iile of the Civil Service and pitchforked into the position of Minister of the Crown. 'I he outcry that was mide in the case of Mr. Gis-bome's elevation and retirement is as nothing compared to what ought to be made on ace .unt of this latent Ministerial perfor mance. 'J he country groans under the weight of the Civil Service. It is made subject to tribute in a most literal and unmislakeable manner, and if is submits to have its Minis ters elevattd for a &eason from the ranks of the Civil Service, and then, having served their purpose, retreating againwichinits lines, it may abandon all hope of econ ruical or efficient government. "We are friends and supporters of the Government, but. Ministers are not infallible. 1 hey are liable to err, and in this case their error is of most serious character. We can conceive of no action, rightly considered, so well calculated to bring Government iuto contempt as this one." Sir James Fergusson did not grant the pardon of Alexander McDonald, but left the matter to be decided by the Marquis of Nor man by. It is understood that Ministers have decided to recommend the Marquis of Normanby to grant a pardon. A member of the Armed Constabulary yesterday att< mi.ted to commit suicide while taking a bath in a rarher'a shop by cutting his forearm across The wound is not fatal. JVlr Moorhouse has consented to become a candidate for mayoralty. Dr Pollen, »nd Major Campbell, clerk of Parliament, accompany his ltxcellency in his yacht. The Pabautanui Rifle Volunteers have fired for the choice of district representa tives. Five were qualified : Sergeant .Tones, 89 points ; Vol. Edwards, S8 ; Vol. John Jones, 8G ; VoJ.

At Madnme Goddard's farewell perfor mance last night, the most enthusiastic re ception yet accorded this lady was given. The stage was literally covered with bouquets The Scotch fantasia was encored. 1 uring the peifnrmance of " God Save the Queen," ihe audience rose, an at the con clusion cheerß and cries of " Bravo," were given. It was well played. Madame Goddard leaves for Dunedin to-day.

The Works Committee recommended that No. 1 design, of those sent in be selected for the construction of a new pier at the Breakwater. The report was adopted. FINANCE RHPCTRT. A variety of accounts were recommended for payment by the Finance Committee. RECLAMATI"N. The Chairman paid that Mr I/mnigan had entered into the necessary sureties, and would shortly start upon his contract for filling-in Mechanics' Bay. The following statement of the funds of the Boai'd was made:—Balance in bank, £2,001 IGs ; cash in hand, £5 11s 9; total, £2 007 7s 9d. Accounts ordered to be paid, £47 3s ; balance, £1,590 4s 9d. SCRAPING 'IHE WHA.KF PILES. A proposal 1o expend £50 for scraping the shell-fish was adopted on the motion of Mr Brett. WATER FOR TH«! SHIPPING. According to notice Captain Daldy moved "'I hat it be an instruction to the Works Committee to incur ?the necessary expense for the purpose of storing and delivering the surplus wat^r from the railway station for the rise of shipping and other purposes." The Chairman, in moving the resolution, said he had been led to pun it on the pnper owing to what he had obserred in looking round the railway works at Fort Britoma,rt. The railway authorities had a tank holding 8000 gallons, which was generally full. A waste pipe was provided, and a great deal of water ran to waste in the harbour. He proposed that they should have another tank, which could be supplied ou the same manner as the railway tank Mr"Yon der Heyde seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. This was all th« business.
