ARRIVAL OF THE Wonga Wonga, WITH THE SUEZ TELEGRAMS AND CALIFORNIAN MAIL.

ARRIVAL AT ADELAIDE OF THE ENGLISH MAIL. VIA SUEZ.

(AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATKO PRESS TELEGRAMS.) Adelaide, November 13, 11.55 p.m. The mail steamship Nubia arrived at the Sound on November Bth, and sailed again early on the 9bh. She reached Glenelg at half-past 4. Head winds from Galle delayed her passage. The weather at Glenelg was rough, and delayed the landing.

GENERAL SUMMARY. The Claimant has been visited at MiUbank by his wife, by Lord Rivers, and by Dr Keneally. He has lost seven stone, and his hair is grey, but he is in good health. Line (or Jean Leuie) has lately been removed to Portland. Mr Bright, having refused to present a petition to the House of Commons for Orton's release, has been abused by Mr Onslow and Mr Meredith, of Birmingham. H.M.S. Sappho, commissioned for Australia, has met with an accident which •will detain her awhile. The Daring, 4 guns, has been appointed to the Australian station.

A Live Cattle Importation Company is announced, with a capital of £200 000. The published statement that her Majesty the Queen has paid the debts of the Prince of Wales is declared to be void of foundation, There are no debts that have been outstand ing more than a year, aud they will be at once discharged. The Empress Eugenic and the Prince Imperial have returned to Chiselhurst from Switzerland. The Empress of Austria has improved in health by her sojourn in the Isle or' Wight. She ha 3 Visited Brighton and London. The Earl of Warwick has presented her Majesty with a splendid stud of horses. The Marquis of Kipon's suddenly resign in* the Grand Mastership of the English Freemasons is attributed to his perversion to Romanism. The Press, in discussing the subject, regards this step as the termination of his public career, as any Cabinet would be suspected of which he was a prominent mem ber. The Oxford Conservatives have been cele brating Mr. Hall's return to Parliament by a dinner, a fefce, and self - congratulatory speeches. Sir C. Dilke made a trenchant speech at a dinner of Hammersmith Foresters, in which both political parties were severely handled. Mr. Watkins Williams, ia addressing his friends at Denbigh, predicted that before Easter there would be a complete reconstruc tion of the Cabinet upon a more enlarged and probably more liberal basis. Sir Stafford Northcote, at Exeter, has been defendiagjjthe Union of Church and State. Sir J. D. Astley, a Lincolnshire Tory, has indulged in such vulgar vituperations of Irish members as to be called to account, and compelled to apologise and withdraw his xn sulting remarks. . An article on Ritualism in the Contem porary Review," from the pen of the Kight Hon. W. E. Gladstone, has attracted much ttention. Mr. Stanley is busy with his preparation for a scientific investigation of Africa. He is now on the East Coast. A cedar boat 40 feet long has been built for him in sections, with fourteen oars. It was launched t Leddingstone, and christened Livingstone. Another expedition to the interior of Africa is preparing at Berlin, under the leadership of Yon Hormayer, ornithologist. The Grocers Company have given £20,000 for erecting a new wing to the London Hos pital. A new Winter Garden, with an aquarium —the whole costing £100,000—has been opened at Southport. _ Encouraged by the success of the bnattes burv Park" enterprise, 80 acres have been purchased ne»r Harrow Road for the erection of a workmen's city. A thousand houses have already been applied for. After entertaining the Good Templars, Sir Wilfred Lawson has invited the members of the Licensed Victuallers' Defence League to a.picnic in his park. No drink is to be sold on the premises. A proposal to substitute cremation for in terment at Hartlepool provoked riot among a crowd of working women. Mr Turnbull, solicitor, who made the proposition, was fol lowed from the Town Hall with execrations by two thousand excited people. The formidable strike threatened in the cotton trade will, it is hoped, be averted by a spirit of mutual conciliation. For several days twenty-four mills in Bolton were closed and 13,000 persons thrown out of work. Several employers then withdrew their notices of reduction, and the hands resumed work. A committee of masters and men subsequently agreed to submit the question to arbitration, Mr Russell, Q.C., being ap pointed arbitrator, and both parties binding themselves to accept the award. Meanwhile the mills have re-opened at the old wages. Arbitration has also been resorted to in connection with the threatening Durham strike, which would have affected a hundred thousand persona. At a special meeting of the miners council 119 to 93 were for arbitra tion Messrs Dale and Leemau was appoin ted on behalf of the mine owners, and Messrs Burt and Lloyd Jones for the men. Notices on both sides were withdrawn, and the old rate wages were continued. After a duration of six weeks the dispute between Lord Penrhyn and 3000 quarrymen was settled, and the bulk of them returned to work. Finding, however, that some of the concessions were ignored, the men indignantly left the quarry en masse, pend ing a guarantee from Lord Penrhyn. Negotiations are still proceeding, but the aspect of affairs is not promising. The Fife and Clackmannan lock-out still continues. The men are suffering great privations and would submit to 15 per cent, reduction if the new by-laws were with drawn. If resistance be prolonged, ejection from their homes is expected. The harvest being over some farmers are locking out labourers belonging to the Union, while others are reducing wages to the old standard on the plea of cheap bread. Emigration is still active. Many persons chiefly agricultural labourers and families, have sailed in the Indus for Queensland, under the care o£ Mr Richardson. Three hundred aouls chiefly from Warwick shire and Oxfordshire, have sailed in the Crusader for New Zealand, accor paaiedV'by Mr Arlington, Union delegates, and three butchers. A. thousand persons— principally from the eastern counties—have I c ftfot Canada under Union auspices.

The Town Council of Glasgow by an al most unanimous vote have decided to ask Government to extend to Scotland power to punish robberies with violence, wife beating Ac, by the lash. Despite the increase of crimes of savage ruffianism Prefessor Levi assures us that from 1863 to 1872 indictable offences have decreased from 520 000 to 440,000.

The safety of all members of the Austrian Arctic Expeyition (with one exception I only) has occasioned great joy. At / Hamburgh after the feting Captain J Weisprecht gave a detailed account of the expedition at a meeting of the Geo graphical Society. Passing on to Vienna the explorers had a cordial reception from all classes, who vied to do them honor. The two leaders have been decorated by the Emperor, they have discovered a remarkable region. Preparations are already commenc ing to send a fresh expedition next summer to ascertain whether the newly discovered land is a continent or an island, Captain Wiggins, who started in June last, in the steamer Diana, to search for the lost Aus trian expedition, has just returned to Dundee. \ Some petroleum springs fn Austria have i been on fire doiDg immense damage. 1 The cattle plague has v broken out in Russia and Poland. 1000 cattle cattle perished in two days. Prussia has interdicted importation. Rus3ia is augmenting its standing army by 16,000 men for service in Asia. To render j ! conscription less distasteful to certain Rus- j sian subjects, concessions have been made I regarding hair and beards. The Tartars are rapidly emigrating from the Crimea to es cape military service. An insurrection has broken out in Rho kand. Russia declines to interfere. The position of the Khan is considered desperate. Fever is raging at Damascus. 14,000 persons have been attacked The following is the result of the race for the Middle Park Plate :—Plebeian Ist, Peise 2nd, Galioping 3rd. Bombay, October 22. The ship Udstone, from Melbourne to i/al cutta with 150 horses, went ashore. All the horses were suffocated, the holds being bat tened down.

INDIA AND THE EAST.

Colombo, October 24. Governor Gregory opened the Legislative Council at Ceylon, October 14. The revenue for the past year was the largest ever known, amounting to £1,300,000. New navigation I works are to be extensively carried out; also railways and road extensions to support the i coffee planting enterprise, are to be carried out. Education is progressing. The Govern ment and aided schools number 839, with j 47,000 scholars. ! The District Judge of Colombo, Mr. Berwicky, issued a rule for the editor of the Ceylon Observer to appear before him. in consequence of the publica tion of a letter auimadverting on the conduct of the business !*of his Court, on his inattention and discourtesy to the bar and to suitors. The editor appeared and asked, through his counsel, for time to prove the charges. One week was granted by the Judge to answer his inter rogatories. Meantime counsel ha 3 applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of injunc tion prohibiting tha District Jii'lge from try ing tbe editor for the alleged contempt, which was not committed in the face of the Court, nor did it consist of remarks upon any particular case before Courb. I'he Ju'lge appeared by counsel. Judgment w;i3 reserved till next week. The editor's coun sel relies on a rec mt cisc decided by Ciief Jus'ice Cockburn, showing that the County Courts of England have no power to try cases of contempt arising before the Court, as only the Queen's Court, or Courts created by the Sovereign, had this power. Judg ment is likely to be given in favour of the editor, but the case will probably be remit ted to the Queen in Council The British India Steam Company has an nounced the running of steamers weekly round the coast towns between Calcutta and Bombay. Coffee continues to rule very high in price. Sir Hayne, an ex-Tndian official, is the new Governor of Mauritius. He is very highly spoken of. There is a rumour that Lord Wharncliff is to suceed Lord Northbrook as Viceroy [next I year. It is not believed in India. The j Viceroy has recovered from his attack of feaver. Mr. Grant Duff is shortly expected in India. The prospects of the crop are very good ; 'the famine is at an end, and relief operations close at the end of October. . Floods have occurrred in some districts. Sir K. Temple is still travelling. Only 29 deaths altogether are attributed to ! the famine in Bombay. , October 12. | The Hydrabad State railway was opened on Thursday last with grand festivities. On the 10th a grand Durbar was held. The Resident, accompanied by the guests on ] twenty-seven elephants, was escorted through the city to the Nizam's palace. A grand dinner was given on the 10th by the Nizam's uncle. Splendid fireworks followed. There were large crowds below. A rocket mortar burst, and three natives were killed and five severely wounded. Major Bell, judicial commission of Berar, was wounded. Several amputations among the natives were neces- ! sary. One native's head was blown clean j off. Captain Dobbl and some ladies escaped miraculously. . ,; STRAITS AND CHINA. Sir A. Clark's Government is bent upon . developing the great resources of the Malayan Peninsula. . ; 3500 disciplined Chinese troops under ■ General Tong arrived in eight steamers at Formosa. 3000 more are to follow.

I The cargo consists of 1460 cases salmon, 197 packages dried apples, 1 case salmon ova 1751 mats .sugar and sundries. We have oar files of English papers to Sep tember 22ad, and American to 12 oh October, (containing European Telegraphic News to the 9th), from which we make the following extracts :— THK COURT. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Princess Beatrice, attended divine service in Crathie parish church on Sunday, Septemoer 13. Lord and Lady Derby and a large numbar of strangers were present. The Rev. Dr. Macgregor, of St. Cathbert's, Edinburgh, preached.

It is stated that the photograph of the Princess of Wales, in which she is carrying one of her children on her back, is so great a favourite that no fewer than 300,000 copies of it have been sold. Various reports have lately appeared in print to the effect that debts have been con tracted by the Pi'ince of Wales. It has been stated that Mr. Gladstone was requested to bring the matter before Parliament, but declined ; that Mr. Disraeli was to be asked to do so ; and, finally, that Her Majesty had paid off these amounts. Mr. P. A. Taylor, the member for Leicester, has even addressed *his constituents on the subject. It is now authoritively asserted that there is not a single word of truth in any of these statements. The Marquis of Lome has been lecturing at Tobermory to a local mutual improvement society in the Baptist Chapel on the Spanish Armada. 'Che Princess Louise was not able to be present, but at the close of the lecture cheers were given for her as well as for the Marquis. DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— UPWARDS OF 80 PERSONS KILLED AND INJURED. The entire chapter of railway accidents, to which additions have of lat? years being frightfully numerous, has no parallel to this Great Eastern Railway colli-ion near Nor wich. The coroner who is ho:dmsj his in quest on th<j 22 victims suggests that it cannot be called an accident ; but a catas trophe, though a lapse of memory is quite as distinctly an acei'ieut as one proceeding from a mere mechanical failure. Tho terrible story is, indeed, exactly cor rect as ab first to d, though it required very precise details to convince people that it could really be so. An express train from London was started late in the evening from Norwich, on a single line of rails, towards Brundall. on the Lowesroft line, by the same official who had two minutes telegraphed for the mail train to come on from Brundall to Norwich. The trains met when they had acquired a collec tive speed of some fifty miles an hour. Darkness and a curve prevented even warn ing sufficient to turn off steam, and the result was an awful wreck, with more j than a score of persons killed or I fatally hurt, and about three score in- j jured, many very severely. Cooper, tho un- j fortunate official who was the immediate cause of the disaster, admitted his frightful mistake before the trains met. It seems that the piece of line whew slaughter took place had been for thirty years WOi ked safely, and that to meet increasing traffic a second line of rails hid been laid, and was nearly ready for the Government inspector, so that in a few weeks the accident could not have hap pened. The traffic upon this piece of line was not sufficiently reguar both ways to adopt what is known as the " staff system." Hence it had been a custom for the mail to wait at Brundall until the express passed, or unless specially telegraphed for. On the fatal night of September 11, the express being late Cooper, the night inspector at Norwich, gave a written though unsigned message to the telegraph clerk to signal the mail train on. This was done, and almost directly after the same inspectoi started the express. It 3 last carriage was not out of the station before he remembered the awful mistake he had made. He called to the telegraph clerk to si^nil "Stop mail," and received the immediate answer from the alarmed atotion maater at Brundall, " Mail gone ;" and the officials at both stations, in an indescribable state of frenzy, paepared for the wreck, which they knew could only be miraculously avoi ded. The trains met with a crash which gave its own alarm, and brought help from the village of Thorpe. Fires were lighted, the dead removed, and the injured cut out in some cases from the pile which tho two trains made. Very many of the killed and injured were of a class in society to whom compensation will have to be heavy to be adequate, and the company's stock suffers a considerable fall.

To add to the horror of the situation, five or six carriages of the down train remained upon the bridge crossing the river ; and as this bridge was undergoing alteration, the sides were quite unprotected. The passengers in these carriages wei'e almost wild wiih fe-ir, for every light had been put out They did not know what had. happened, and their screams added to the dreadful confusion of the hour. They were entreated to keep their seats, but it was against human nature to do so. It is miraculous that some did not fall into the* stream One man did fall in, and was pulled out. But it is not thought certain that some deaths have not occurred from drowning. The river has been dragged in this belief. Mr Slade, being at first unknown, a photograph was taken of his body for the purpose of identifi cation, and he must have died with a smile upon his face. . The statement of Dr Pitt as to the position in which he found Mr White is of a very painful character. This unfor tunate gentleman was jammed beneath a railway carriage, and lay like a man in a coffin upside down. He was in this condition three hours and a half. In order to sustain him in his agonis ing position, and to prevent him from faint ing, Dr Pitt, Captain Douglas, and Mr 0. Forster contrived to supply him with brandy soaked in a hankerchief, whi-h, being placed upon the end of a stick, they managed to slide up to his mouth, and induced him to suck. By this means only he was sustained till his liberation was effected.

The following were either found dead or expired shortly afterwards :—John Prior, driver of the up train ; James Light, fireman of the up train ; Thomas Clark, driver of the down train ; Frederick Sewell, fireman of the down train; George Page, Wensum street, Norwich, leather-seller ; G. R. Wo mack, Dove-street, Norwich, clothier ; Eev. H. Stacey, 12, Upper St. Giles-street, Norwich formerly of Beecles, independent minister; Mrs Stacey, wife of the Rev. Henry Stacey ; Mrs Betts, wife of Betts the stoker ; an in^ fant child of Beets ; sergeant-major Cassell, West Norfolk Militia staff; sergeant Ward, ditto; Susan Lincoln, housemaid to Mr Hoyte, Norwick; H. S- Turner, confectioner Lower Goat-lane, Norwich ; Miss Mary Ann Murray, Mariner's lane, Norwich ; Mrs Gild ing, Graf ton street, Mile End, wife of an insurance agent; Laura Gilding daughter of Mrs Gilding ; Mr R. W. Skinne, Norwich, gentleman ; Mrs Taylor, forewoman at Mr Caley's, draper, Norwich; Mr Upton, of Yarmouth, harness - maker; and Mr Slade, of the firm of Akerman and Slade, of 8, Regent-sfcreet. To this list has to be added the names of Susan Brown, who died on Wednesday, and the .stoker Betts.

AUCKLAND RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

The third annual meeting of this Association was held last night (Thursday), at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association, at 8 o'clock. The attendance was very limited and considering the successful way ia which the affairs of the Assbciatiori have been con ducted by a few members, it was discredit able on the part of those absentee members who derive the advantage without sharing che burden. Captain Morrow was voted to he chair, and after reading and confirming the minutes, the following report was read by the Hon. Secretary :— . f'THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE AUCKIAND RIFLB ASSOCIATION. ; . ... *' The Committee, in making their Report

i for the past year—the third of the Associa ; tion's existence, have to express their plea , sure that it has been such a successful one. i This Association, having for its object the encouragement of rifle shooting among non- Volunteers, as well as the assistance of the Volunteer marksmen, must depend esaen tially on the support of the outside public ! This hasrbeen forthcoming, and the burden ', of maintaining the Institution has net fallen j upon the Volunteers. During the past year, , as appears by the balance-sheet, the public : contributed the sum of about £90 for its support, the rest of the funds, proceeds of a concert and theatrical performance, and subscriptions and contributions from Volun teers and members of the Association, I amounting in. the whole, with a small balance from last year, to the sum of £147 8a 3d. ! "In September, 1873, in accordance with resolutions passed, efforts were made to raise funds sufficient to send four represen tatives to compete in the Intercolonial Rifle Match at Melbourne. The necessary amount having been obtained. Nineteen | competitors fired for the selection of repre sentatives, and the four highest scorers were sent to Melbourne (Messrs. Skinner, Stone, G. Partington, and Alderton), where they upheld the honor of the Auckland marksmen in a mo3t creditable manner. | "In accordance with instructions, the Secre tary communicated with the National Rifle Association, and in the course of the year received their silver medal for competition by this Association. This was secured at an expenditure of £5, and the Committee suggest that the same be competed for at a meeting to be held in March or April next. "The Committee venture to express a hope that there is yet considerable vitality in the institution, to accomplish, under judicious management the objects for which it was formed. They would, however, urge upon the members the desirability, and indeed, necessity, of an effort to continue the sympathy and eupporfc of the public, without which it is impos sible to achieve success. " Owing to the absence from Auckland of the Hon. Treasurer, the Committee were unable to call the general annnal meeting in compliance with the rules, and taking ad vantage of that fact, the Committee deter mined to advertise the third aanual prize meeting for the month of November, which was successfully carried out. The prizes won ah that meeting did not, on this occa sion, embrace monpy prizes, but consisted Of a cup, timepieces, and other articles, a determination which your Committee believe has led to universal satisfaction. " In conclusion, the Committee have much pleasure in intimating that there are no liabilities due by tho Association, but com mence another year with a credit balance of £5 5s 2d. " A. Devorb, " Hon. Sec." The balance-sheet was then read and adopted, confirming the particulars given in ' the report. The election of officers was then ' proceeded with, resulting a3 follows: — I President, J. C. Firth, Esq.; vice-presidents, Messrs C. B. Stone and H. Brett ; honorary treasurer, Mr J. C. Davies ; honorary secretaries, Messrs Devore and E. Cooper. Committee, Messrs A. Morrow, R. McDonald, Soall, D. Kelly, Kohn, Thorne, and Kitchen. Votes of thanks were pissed and recorded to Messrs Kohn Brothers and Beck for the handsome prizes given by them and competed for at the la3t competition to Messrs. C. B Stone, Thorne, Beck, and J. C. Davies for their energetic exertions in collecting funds in aid of the monies required to send four representatives to the Inter - colonial match at Melbourne in November, 1873 ; to Captain Derrom for his willing and careful supervision at the late Association Rifle Meeting ; and to Mr. Dovore for his services as secre tary. A vote of thanks was also given to the outgoing officers, and the prizos won at the last meeting were then presented by the Chairman, —Mr. W H. Skinner taking Ist a^gre^ate and GOO-yards range prizes ; Mr. Denis Kelly taking 2nd aggregate and 400 ----yards range prizes ; Mr. E. Mills the 3rd aggregate and 500-yarda range prizes ; Mr. G Kitchen the 4th aggregate ; Mr. May the oth ; and Mr. E. Cooper the (sth and last. With a vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting closed.
