TERRIBLE CYCLONE IN TEXAS.

HUNDBEDS OE LIVES LOST.

A TERRIBLE cyclone has swept ovor Texas; destroying life ?'ad property. Parties who ar rived from Indianola. Texas, last night, and v bo were, there during the terrible' cyclone, ful'y confirm even the most sensational re ports of the destruction of life and property there. Out of three hundred houses only five were left standing. Turing Thursday night when the storm was atjts ben lit, the water in the river rose six feet in two hours, the wind blowing a esle. driving the water and V>resk ers through the city at a rate of 15 miles per hour, sweeping everything in its way, scour ing the p^ain in ".be rear of tbe city for ten miles to a depth of seven feet. Several small settlements, numberir.g a total population of 150, were also swept out of existence, making, ■vritii the 250 lost at Indianola, a total of 400 ]ives lost. Gentlemen conveying the in foimstion gave the most harrowing accounts destitution"of the survivors. When they left Indianola, on Monday, ninety bodies had been recovered. The stench in the city from putrefaction of the dead, with the stench from dead animals, was most intolerable. It is also said a party of Mexicans on Sun day began to rob the desd bodies washed "to the plain four to six miles back of the city. The scoundrels chopped fingers, hands and ears off the men and women to obtain jewelry. As soon as this was heard of, a party of citizens went out and killed five Mexicans whom they caught at the devilish work.

The lowest barometer occurred on the after noon of September 10th, when it stood at 28.99, with a maximum velocity of wind at the same time of SO miles per hour.

Thousands of drowned cattle are strewn over the prairie soufh of the town, and several light coasting steamers are lying from Cto 10 miles inland. Galveslon and other places were submerged but the mo=>t serious loss was at Indianola, a town of IfiOO inhabitants at Matagorda Bay. Subscriptions for the relief of tbe sufferers are beingji aised.

-From our Special Correspondent.] _."' This day. E. T. Giflon, for some time editor of the *Postj has sent in his resignation, but so far no cause has been assigned. Privately it is said the real reason is that the proprietors object to the paper being of a pronounced political type. They want it to be perfectly free and independent—to strike out wherever and whenever an opportunity offered ; and they fear that if Gillon gets returned for the country districts for which he intends to stand, he will be bound to his party, and will of course,make the paper reflect the "news of the party. Indeed, as a whole, it is understood that the proprietors are rather opposed to their editor figuring as a public ttan atall, No successor ha? as yet been a PPomted.

Trial Trip of the Llewellyn.

The A. S. P. Cos. screw-steamer the Llewellyn was to have pone upon her trial trip yesterday, but the frightful weather induced the directors of the company to postpone the event till this day. Since her arrival in this port the Llewel lyn has undergone a complete transformation, and from having no passenger accommodation to speak of she is now a magnificently-fitted passenger boat. The change has been effected by the building of a hurricane deck along the whole length of her main-deck. This is six feet ten inches high, and thus affords good walking space below it. The saloon is a fine roomy apartment. It is rather too wide if any fault can be found, for, by making tbe state rooms ten inches wider, another dozen passen gers could have been provided for. This seems to us the only defect in the econ omy of the space. There are berths for six teen passengers in the saloon, and for eleven lady passengers in the ladies' cabin. I_otb these apartment:, are fitted up in the most com plete style of convenience,and elegance. There are fourteen berths for steerage passengers. In the fore part of the vessel there is accommoda tion for carrying one hundred and twenty sheep and sixty head of cattle. Mr. T. Niccol took the contract for building the hurricane-deck at the figure of and right well has our favourite shipbuilder clone his work, and expe ditiously too. In addition to this, the contract for furnishing and fitting the cabins was let for so that at least has been spent upon tbe vessel during her short stay in Auck land. The engines have received a thorough overhaul, but as they are nearly new very little was required to be done to them. Mr. Henry Self, the chief engineer, has superintended this portion of the work. The vessel left the wharf soon after one o'clock this afternoon, and pro ceeded down the harbour before abeavy westerly gale. A large number of invitations had been issued, and although the prospect of sea-sickness kept away a good many, guests to the number of nearly fifty went away in the vessel.

The steamer did not get away till after two o'clock. Among the guests on board are— Captain Daldy, Messrs. W. Aitken, J. S. Macfarlane, T. Hill (Collecter of Customs), Captain Ellis, D. Hean, Carr, Stephenson, D. M. Luckie, White, T. Henderson, Hold ship, Tothill, Bamett, E. Lewis, R. Grahame, and T. Niccol. The strong winds has caused hat-stnngs to 'be in great requisition, and cord is being sold at a premium. 3.15 p.m. At the luncheon, Captain Daldy, chairman of the, company, presided, faced by Mr R. Graham. The spread was a most sumptuous one, and was provided by Mr Page, the com pany's providore. The viands and wines were first-class, and the table was most taste fully laid out. ,'..._' rt „ - Captain Daldy proposed 'The Queen and "The Prince of Wales;" received with In proposing the toast of the Governor, the Chairman said he hoped His Excellency would give them a chance of drinking his health in Auckland. ..,*,,„ a The toast of " Sister Companies g followed. In proposing it, Captain Daldy said no com pany could come into existence without doing a great deal of good. The Llewellyn would be the opener-up, as he trusted, of the most important trade of Auckland. He alluded to the South Sea Island trade He believed that the A.S.P. Co. would Sways act in unison with other companies. (°Mr rThomas Henderson replied in appro priate terms. , ___ . Mr Luckie. M.H.R., proposed success to the A.S.P. Company. He traced the pro gress of the Company, and said he l»w in the distance a brilbant future for the Company. Auckland was so situ ated that it had a right to expect: tbe larger share of the South Sea trade, a trade most important to AucMancL He looked forward to seeing the day when local steamers and not the mail steamers would perform the coastal service, (^eers. J Captain Daldy, whose name was coupled wiKhTtoast of the A.S.P. Company was heartily cheered on unng. He; said that if there was a characteristic °* Auckland, it was they were always going to the dog*, (-bresn laughter.) It never came there, Ihe A &.r. Company had first tried the Thames trade bat when that was given up they lookedl to md and selected that as the scene of their labours. That was the origin of the purchase

of the Lewellyn. He hoped that in a year or two they would want another. (Cheers.) The trade of the South Sea Islands he was confident would afford a field for trade greater than any other in the southern hemisphere. There was no reason why tbose Islands should not be like the West Indies to Eng land.

3.30 p.m. Captain Daly, in responding, replied stated his conviction that the A.S.P. Co. had chosen wisely in selecting the Fiji trade when_ the Thames trade failed. The annexation had greatly improved their prospects, and it was only a question of time with the company to open up a very large and most important trade with the South Pacific.

Mr Robert Graham proposed the health of the manager and officers of the Company Which was duly responded to.

3 40 p.m. The Llewellyn is travelling beautifully. The speechifying is over, and some of the guests look as if they wish they bad not come. The boat is as steady as a rock, and travels fast.

English Ship on the Coast.

A largo ship. Eupposed to be the Ocean Mail or Star of Geirnany, from London for Auckland has just passed. She has a strong N. W. gale behind her, and will most likely arrive to-morrow morning.

THE COMING ELECTIONS.

Pigeon from the Thames.

KoTwrmsTANDiNG the heavy gale blowing, our pigeon,which was started from Grahams town this morning, arrived here at noon bringing the followiDg extracts from to-day's Thames Advertiser : —

We must occasionally go from home to hear news about the elections. The Auckland papers announce that Mr W. Buckland is likely to be a candidate for the Thames, but we scarcely think that this announcement is made "by authority." Mr Buckland certainly did interest himself in the Assembly about several small matters connected with the Thames, but when it came to the question of giving the Thames a proper share of representation in the uew Par liament, Mr Buckland voted dead against us throughout. We cannot explain the reason— we can only state the fact. .The Thames has been treated shamefJly in the matter or! representation, and the people feel strongly upon the point. Indeed, we should not be surprised if two votes were lost to the present Ministry through this cause. The electors of the Thames are a very forgiving people, but they have not, we think, yet extended their forgiveness to those who kept them from ob taining a third representative. They have, however, made up their minds to wait for the Opposition programme,, and if it affords them a chance of getting a fair share of power in a local Government for the North Islands and of securing the goldfields revenue to the district, they will be very likely to support the pro gramme heartily. But they will have no more Provincialism. CURE—SPLENDID YIELD. The result obtained from the final cleaning up and retorting for' the Cure Company—that is to "say, the final clearing up for the past month's crushing—exceeded the expectation of the mast sanguine, and when the return was un founded as 1,2_50zs idwts for the month's crushing many were incredulous. Such, however, is the yield of retorted gold for the month. It has been lodged in the Union Bank, and will be melted to-day, and although the expenses of the mine have been heavy, in consequence of the numerous works carried on, the directors, out of the proceeds? will be able to pay a very handsome dividend. How much the dividend will be has not yet been even hinted at, nor will it be known for some days until such time as the expenses, bills, etc., are defrayed. We may congratulate the company on the manner "in which their mine is producing. There is, we believe, material for other rich crush ing, in the old levels still 5 but in the meantime tbe new blocks opened by the level driven in from the No. 2 level of the Caledonian will be soon so far opened that supplies of crushing stuff from them will be available. As our readers are already aware, the cross cut has already intersected not only the No. 5 reef but the foot-wall leader as well. The former has been driven on to the winze sunk from the upper level, and a contract will be let to-day for driving both ways on its ourse. It is a. fine strong reef, and contains most promising in dications. The footwall lode, which was intersected within a few feet of the other in a continuation of the cross-cut, carries nine inches of good stone, which looks looks well for'gold. Prom the relative positions which those lodes_ occupy, it may safely be estimated that in about ten feet of driving from, the winze in the direction of the Manukau boundary, they will be found to have junctioned, and they can be then worked more advantageously together than they have beeuhitherto in the upper workings/where distinct operations had to be carried out on each lode.
