LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

DUNEDIN.

\From our own Correspondent.) This day. Auckland Passengers- The following passengers left per Tara •naki for Auckland :—Mr and Mrs Thomson, Messrs Quarterly, Beats, Lusk and Wheeler.

The theatre was crowded on Sunday, so as to stop traffic, by persons anxious to hear the JRev C. Clark preach. It is estimated that over 1500 were in the building, and another thousand unable to gain admittance. Another service at the Queen's Theatre was crowded.

A Splendid Passage. The Durham's passage was done in 48 days 12 hours. The total distance travelled -was 12,526 miles, going an average of 261 "knots per day, or nearly 11 hours. The "best day's work was 320 miles, the least 174 miles.

Sale of Racing Stock- On Saturday, Messrs VV right and Stephen son auctioned .Revoke (filly) for 36 guineas ; Ada (gelding), 46 guineas ; Maid of Avon, 26 guineas ; Blackbird, £45 ; and 20 Christ church, at 101 ; bay Clydesdale, 3 peais old, draught filJy Lilly.

Within one week over £150 were collected for the Benevolent Institution, £70 being contributed on the last day of the races, and £80 at the Princes Theatre last evening. With the Government bonus of £2 for eveiy £1 collected, this makes' a handsome total of £450.

Agricultural Statistics. Commenting on the grain statistics of Otago and Canterbury, the Quatdian re marks that the wheat average is about 35| bushels the acre, which is fully ten bushel more than last year.' Oats in excess, 37 bushels in some instances ; the yields were as much as 70 to 90 bushels per acre in barley, the average 32£ bushels. Potatoes, 5J to the acre. The next question is how the surplus is to be disposed of, and it is apparent, with large stocks remaining over froui last year, that the opening up ef new markets is desirable. Thus, at the date when the return was filled up, Otago had in •tock 62,407 bushels of wheat, 31,929 bushels of oats, 16,129 bushels of barley; and Can terbury only 1,139 bushels of wheat, 561 bushels of oats, and 126 bushels of barley. It cannot, therefore, recommend growers to hold out for long prices, for long prices will be exceptional, and not the rule during the ensuing twelve months.

The Mataura Railway. The Mataura Railway, as far as the Ma taura Bridge will be ready for traffic early in June. Fatal Accident. A fattl accident occurred on the peninsula yesterday. A son of W. Hooper, estate agent, was playing on the road, and while excavating was proceeding, he was struck on the head by a large piece of loose rock and killed instantaneously. The deceased was twenty-five years of age, and only arrived in the colony by the Gareloch on Sunday last. Scene in Church. One of the strangest scenes ever witnessed In the Roman Catholic Church took place in Oamaru, where the clergyman in his robes' denounced from the altar certain members of the congregation. Father Donovan in very strong language stated that the promoters of the recent H.A.C.B.S.'sball, in consenting in deference to other people's, feelings to leave out the Pope's health were unworthy of the name of Irishmen or Roman Catholics, and •hat they should be shunned and avoided by his congregation. The proceedings are likely to form the subject of litigation in a law Court at the suit of members of Father Donovan's congregation, unless an ample apology is mado to the men so publicly spoken of and stigmatised by him. Curious Fire. A fire under peculiar circumstances oc curred on the farm of Mr Norman Campbell, North Taieri, on the 26th, by which a quan tity of fencing timber and farm implements was totally destroyed, Mr Campbell esti mates his loss at about £50, and was unin sured. It appears that the threshing mill of Kirk and Bathgate commenced threshing on the morning of the 26th, and at two o'clock in the afternoon the horse used iia carting grain bolted, and one of the wheels passed over a coat close to a stack on the gronnds, and almost immediately flames were seen issuing by the stack, and it is thought that in the coat there must have been a box of matches, which ignited and the wind caused the flames to spread rapidl. The Races—Bookmakers Bitten. The attendance at tbe first day's races was 1600; at the second, 4500; at the third, 3500. Altogether the meetiag was not a good one for bookmakers, some of whom were remarkably hard bit, while very few made money. At settling day the metal showed up well, every one present and parting freely. Only one was unable to meet his liabilities in full, but large numbers of the public were conspicuous by their absence. Only one scene occurred the evening, that being a dis graceful squabble between a losing book maker and a trainer of horses. These two took a cab and adjourned to the cricket ground, where a brutal fi*ht took place re salting in the betting man breaking one of bis opponents ribs. The amounts wen by the owners of horse.

are : Delamaine, £945 5 Coombes, £200; >'osworthy, £200; tiutchinson, £177; BTtrton, £120 ; White, £100 ; Gourlay, £80; Godaman, £70 ; Cotton, £42 ; Mackay, £35 ; Blatch. £11, and the Master Rolve fcilver Cup ; Kenan, £10. Total, £1990.

ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

(FKOM OUR I.O.NDON CORRESPONDENT.)

London, February 9, 1875. DON ALPHONSO.

The Spanish affair bids fair to end in a manner somewhat unexpected, namely, the establishment of a monarchy of a very different order from that which would meet with the approbation of Don Carlos and his friends. Alfonso XII believes in a Constitutional monarchy, and although. a Roman Catholic, is by no means so priest ridden as his cousin. He is not ths man to permit the Government of the country to pass cut of his hands into those of a parcel of red-hatted old women on Danks of the Tiber. Neither is he likely, in spite of all hereditary taints, to follow in the footsteps of his dissipated but pious mamma, who really has no control over his actions. On the whole, it seems not unreasonable to suppose that a limited monarchy with young Alpbonso at its head will be the nearest approach to genuine Republicanism of which Spain is at present capable. The prospects of the royal youth are as good as he has any right to expect. The people re ceive him well, the troops are enthusiastic about him, the Carlists flee before him. All seems going smoothly enough. That the Carlists should turn tail before the same men they conquered yesterday is not in the least degree a matter for surprise, for we have all long known that Serrano and the faction represented by him were merely trading on the name of Republicanism ; they loved not that form, or indeed *ny form of government that did not include themselves, and they were quite incapable of forming and main taining any scheme of government at Madrid. Their ooJy chance was to keep the war ball a-rolling, and never let tlieir generals push their advantages too far. The Carlists, once put down, their vocation would have ended, whioh would have put them out of Court at once. There is no love lost between Don Carlos and Alfonso. Relations always squabble the hardest, and these two hate one another magnificently. They mean fighting, and already the former has had what most folks would call his fill of it. As for the Pope, he is left in rather an embarrassing position in the matter. As the friend of both cousins each appeals to him for interference, and what is ha to do ? " How happy could Ibe with either" sings the old party in his gilded cage at Home, and refuses to interfere. He will, however, " pray for their spiritual enlightenment." What a comfort that must be to the cousins, and how exactly in ac cordance with the traditionary action of the Vatican. If a row can be got up by a word, and if any quantity of Protestants can be thereby disposed of, that word is forthcoming with amazing celerity, but when the right ef the Vicar of Ac, is acknowledged in any case and his assistance asked to end a bloody combat, there is nothing but silence. Arch bishop Manning calls the Pope the arbitrator of the Nations, but like much more tall talking, this is an undoubted flight of poetic fancy.

MATTERS SOCIAL AND POLITICAL.

Parliament was opened last.Friday and I enclose you the Queen's speech, read by commission. It was about as lively as such things usually are. The old lady would have opened Parliament in person had it not been for the illness of Prince Leopold, who at date of writing is much better. He is a delicate youth of obnormally weak constitution, and possessing certain physical characteristics which will always prevent his becoming as robust as his brothers. The Irish are in a pretty condition of excitement at the an nouncement made in the speech that there is a probability of the removal of the coercion laws, bat I don't believe that unhappy nation will be either happier or better for the step. They ate like a lot of children crying for a oew toy which they will throw on one side in half:an-hour and yelp for something else. The Government are going t» introduce a measure to provide for tne use of the lash in cases of violent assault, and this if carried willbeagreat comfort, of late the streets of our large towns have become considerably more

unsafe "than an American Back weeds town and fines and imprisonment are manifestly quite inadequate puniehittetts for toen who vfilfnlly maim their fellow creatures for life. Legislation is also promised concerning land lords and tenants. lam not singular in tbe belief that whatever is done in this last matter must be of a very slender kind. Really there is nothing wanted, and of'he two the landlord requites more protection than the tenant. The notion entertainod by Mr Howard and his party that a certain*form of ?.greemenfc should be compulsory is both absurd and unjust, and the only good if any fieth law on the sub ject would be to make a just and sensible code of rules step in where no agreement be tween landlord and tenant exists. But how many cases of this kind could a man find in a week's march ?

"THE STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM."

Ttttß play, &otn *^c Pen °^ r George Darrell, was produced last evening in the Prince of Wales Theatre, in the presence of the largest house of the season. The drama is in four acts, and is full of stirring incidents and adventures bear ing Upon Scottish life arid manners of the days of Boswelh Mr and Mrs Darrell took the leading characters of Sir Poked and Lady Blanche, which were represented with consumate skill. The scenic illustrations were in keeping with the localities of the drama, and did credit to Mr H. N. Thorn ton, the artist. The scenery represents the Tower of Eversleigh, tiighfc at sev», aud the Poya lißte' camp, alid which indicate the character of the play. The minor characters were all well sustained, Mr Aveling appeared as Lord Marsden, Mr Deetiug as Dr Blair, Mr Holloway as Col. Riley, Mr Poole as Sweeney ) Mr Sweehey, as Sergeant Wil liams ; and Mr Thornton, as General Clay ton. The characters imper&bhated ly the ladies were equally true to tho originals. Mrs C. Jonesj afi the loquacious Mr MdTaVish; Biddy Mahoney wax excellent company in the keeping of Miss Patty .Holt, and Vivandiere, although not a specially prominent character, added to the variety of the play, and was pleasantly sustained by Miss Maggie Knight. In the thud act the Irish sovg and dar.ee by the former, and the Highland Fling by the latter, were well portrayed. "The Struggle for Freedom,* or Friends of the Flag," met with a flattering reception in the cities of the United btates, and, judging from the feeling evinced last night towards it and its author, the management are right in their promise to repeat it again this even ing- .

LORNE-STREET HALL.

Mr P. Doran and his friends must have been gratified last night on looking over that vast assemblage of sintliDg faces which beamed under the lights in Lome-street Hall. The concert w^s agreatsiiooeSf-, and eminently due to one who has for years hetn among the foremost of Auckland amateurs in aiding by innocent means, the cause of the distressed. The time being Easter- Monday, was opportune, as many persons were glad of the opportunity of closing the day with music and song, and of testifying their respect for Mr P. Doran. Tbe Tem perance Band played outside the hall previous to the commencement of the proceedings. The programme was rather too long, which was its only fault. In the course of the evening two farces wore given, in which a few jokes were perpetrated at the ex pense of the journals of this city, which went very well, but were not sufficiently steeled at their points. Master Bill's two songs, " Mally Darling," and "Down by the Biver's side," were very sweetly Sung by the young piper who ia very careful in time ing his melodious notes. Mr. Smith gave two comic recitations in good style. Asa v. hole the evening's entertainment was very creditable, and gave much satisfaction. The audience frequently convulsed with laughter al some of tbe grotesque absurdi ties presented to them by Messrs. Doran, Smith, Andrews, and Barry. At the close of the entertainment. Mr Doran, in response to the call of the audience, came forward and spoke a few words of giaiitudc. He said that be thanked the audience for their generous recognition of bis humble services to the common weal, also, those gentlemen who promoted the harmony *>f the evening in his faVour; he felt unequal to the task of addressing so large an asaembly of ladies and gentlemen ; he was pleased to see that the ladies had not looked unkindly upon tbe efforts of his friends in this conoert, which had eutvied their anticipations, and had been marked by singular success. Not being a public speaker, he would ask them to take the will for the deed, and assure them that ho should' always be ready, if possible, to come forward upon any future occasion in aid of the unfortunate. He thanked them from the bottom of his heart. (Cheers.)

OPENING OF A FORESTERS COURT AT ONEHUNGA.

"Yestbsday evening at 6.30, the District Officers and fifty members of the Forester's Society left Auckland with the banners of the Order flying, and proceeded to Onehunga in conveyances especially provided for the occasion, to open a new Court in that town* ship in connection with the Auckland district. On arrival at Mr Fuller's Royal Hotel, the officers and members were mot by those vho purposed joining the new Court, who gave their visitors three hearty cheers. 'Jhe members then adjourned to the Court-room, where the new Court was formally opened by JD.C.JR. McEwen, assisted by Bros. Hooper, JDistrict Secretary, and C. R. Piggott, and the officers of the Court City of Auckland. After the now members had been initiated, a resolution was unanimously passed naming the new Court " The Pride of Onehunga:" The following officers were then elected: C.R., G. Codlin; S.C.R., M. Kelsall; Secretary, R, Charman ; Treasurer, W. Kellsall. After the Court had closed, the members sat down to a capital dinner provided by Host Fuller. D.C. H., McEwen occupied the chair, supported on his right by C. R. Piggott, and on his left by the District Secretary. The vice-chair was most ably filled by the new elected C. R. of the Pride of Onehunga Court. After ample justice was done to the good things provided, the tables were cleared, and the chairman proposed the usual loyal toasts which were responded to with enthusiasm. "The officers of the Auckland district" was proposed by P P. C. R. Augur, who apoke of their en deavours to forward the interests of the Sooiety. The toast was drank with musical honors. D. C. R. McEwen returned thanks, stating the pleasure it afforded him of being present at such meetings as the present one, and gave some sound practical advice to the members of the new Court. He was fol lowed by Bro. Garrett, who made a good practical speech on the desirability of working in union with one another. Bro. E. Grigg then proposed, " The officers and members •f ' The Pride of Onehunga Court,' " which was drunk with three times three. The newly elscted C.JR. returned thanks, and urged on the members of the Court the de sirability of their all working together for the commm good, and in conclusion asked the new members to drink success to the members of the Court City of Auckland, who had come from such a distance to as sist in the inauguration ceremony that evening* C. JR. Piggot responded and assured them of their willingness at all times to render the new Court every assistance in their power. Several other toasts were then proposed, including the " Press," and the " Host and Hostees" (Mr and Mrs Fuller), to whom every credit is due for the kind and liberal manner in which they treated their numerous guests. Several songs were sung during the evening. The company separated shortly after midnight,

after spending a pleasant evening. We wi&h the new Court of Onehunga every success. It has now fifteen members, and we learn some twenty other settlers have alnady promised to be ensiled amongst them, and thus make provision fehould sickness or death o'ertake them.

Fire at Stokes' Point.

A fire broke oxitthiHintirninc at 6ne o'clock, which destroyed a cotiage in the occupation of Mr Callau, who w.js the owner. Mr Callan and his wife and Sarah Fitzpatrick, retired to bed last night at nine o'clock, when after the turn of midnight, Mrs Callau heard a sparkling noise. She got up to see v hat it was, and discovered thas the roof was on fire. She gave an c.laiiii, and a neighbour named John Denby came and rendered assistance in getting out the furniture, which was saved. Tlie fire broke out by the chimney, and it is supposed that it caught io consequence of some sparks fiom a clump of ti-tree, which was on tire some twelve yards from the house. The house was insured in the Norwich Union for £125. The furniture and adjoining stable which were saved were insured in the same office for £75. Callam and his wife had been living in the cottage for many years, and the tire was, it is believed, purely accidental.

ACCIDENT AT NORTH SHORE.

A very painful accident from a very simple cause occurred yesterday, about two o'clock, on the outer beach of JDevonport. AMr Andrews, a bricklayer, with his wife and children, were out for the holiday, and Mr Andrews was engaged gatheriug pippies off the rocks at the North Head, and cooking them. Having removed his boots and stockings, he was wading in the water, when he trod on an oyster shell, which inflicted a deep gash in the hollow of the sole of his foot. The bleeding was so great that he fainted three times in succesion when lying on the' rocks. Mr Siddons and another took him in a boat around the Head, and placed him on the ferry steamer, and while coming around the sufferer fainted a fourth time from loss of blood. On reaching this side Mr Andrews was taken from the steamer and placed in a cab, and coaveyed to his residence in Freeman's Bay, where he was attended by Dr Dawson, under whose skilful care the sufferer is progressing favor ably.
