=a set of people had been found so isoft as to -be made parties to a very nice little financial arrangement of the Hon Julius Vogel.^ It ■was a serious question how long Auckland 'citizens were to support a paper so inimical to the interests of the province. More had been done to press Auckland down in the estimation of the people of the South by the Southern Cross than by anything that had been done by any Government. Peopla down South wbo stuck up for Auckland had their mouths shut by the Southern Cross beiDg quoted against itbem. livery man who subscribed to that paper and put advertisements in it was only encouraging a journal which was eating at the core of Auckland's prosperity. No person was more prepared to work honestly and fairly with the Cross than he was,—he would work honestly with Mr. J. S. Macfarlane—(laughter)—if he found that their efforts were directed to the good of the country. While a man 'was employed to write calumnies on the province, it became the Auckland people to make a stand against "him. As he had said before, he believed the Cross had done him good. Be felt sure of it, for he was quite confident that the manly spirit and spirit of fair play which animated the people would lead them to take his part, when they saw how he was treated. Mr Rees then referred to his determination 4o appear as a candidate for the Assembly, jfor City East, whoever might come out against him. The ±950,000 which had now to be paid for interest on loan, would be much increased next year. They had often been told that the country was prosperous, yet taxation continued on the increase. If taxation was a sign of prosperity, they alone were certainly prosperous, and likely to be more so. As to the Education Kate in which he had been misinterpreted by the Cross, he was of opinion that its burden ought to be taken off the poorer people's shoulders and placed upon property, especially pro perty lying waste, and on absentees. He believed the Council of Auckland would greatly influence the deliberations of the Assembly. He was glad to be able to congratulate them on the pros pect of a powerful opposition being formed under Sir George Grey. (Hear, hear.) As to Mr Holdship he felt that that gentle man had been brought out by others, and that he would have retired only that he was restrained by honourable feelings. He had been told that that gentleman had said that if he had known that he (the speaker) was going to stand, he wouid have placed his name at the head of the requisi tion. (Hear hear.) With Mr Holdship he had no differences. At the recent nomination it would have been possible for that to happen which happened three score years ago, at an election in which the great Mr Burke was a candidate. After Mr Burke had finished a splendid speech, the other candidate got up and simply said, " I say ditto to Mr Burke" (laitghter). He ■would not detain them further than to express his confidence that they would not repent his election. He trusted that in the coming contests which were inevitable in the politi cal arena they would find him displaying that amount of intelligence and information which would prevent them being ashamed of their representative. As to honesty of purpose and action he would make do boast but leave time to show and then to judge on these points. If he had the honor of coming before them as a candidate for the General Asflembly, he trusted that he should meet •with the same courtesy and kindness as ha had met on that occasion.

Loud cheers followed the conclusion of Mr Rees speech. When these had subsided, Mr Rees pro posed a vote of thanks to Mr Collins, the Returning Officer. This was responded to by Mr Collins, and the proceedinga terminated,

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Coirespondent.) This day. Tairua and OMnemuri Trials.

The crushing for the Ohinemuri prospec tors has now being going on one hour with a single stamper at the tramway battery. It has already commenced to show on the plates. Not quite three tons is done altogther. Mr G. F. Mitchell is crushing a trial from the Dan Leahy claim, Waitekanri, but it is not yet finished. It was proved to contain gold by a small test prior to crushing. Cure Crushing. The Cure crushing is shaping splendidly. They have 205 ounces of hard amalgam now on hand from about 30 tons of general stuff. A similar quantity is still to be treated, and 2 cwt. ef picked stuff. Gold shows in the face of"the stopes to-day. Pumping Association. The Pumping Association have finished sinking to the depth of the large lift, and have inserted frames and completed timber ing, and started excavating a cistern cham ber. . The Caledonian. The Caledonian is steadily working on the intermediate level leader, and another from the No. 3 shaft. They have about 17 tons of general and 20 tons picked stuff; and the mill starts crushing when about 50 tons are on hand. City of London. The City of London last cleaning up was after fi^e days run, inclusive of several stop pages, and the result was 204 ozs., making 711 ozs., from which to pay five shillings dividend. The crushing with double force at the Kuranui is making an excellent show. Tairua Rush. Numbers are proceeding to Tairua, and all in excellent spirits. The two leases around the Prospectors are considered to have a good show, and men are out prospect ing for miles in the neighborhood.

RUSSELL.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. The James Arnold sailed yesterday on a cruise. The colliers, Gem, Ebenezer, and Golden lale are loading. They are wind bound.

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON. (From our own Correspondent), This day. Unscrupulous Newspaper Correspon dent. There is a rascally and impecunious knave on some little print in Auckland who will work mischief for his paper, or for himself, by his lying and libellous telegrams. Like Toots writing to himself, he writes a letter to the Editor blackguarding the Secretary of the Titanic Steel Company, and predicting all. sorts of failure to the Company, he then tele graphs the substance of the letter to the Southern papers. Thi3 ingenious person is own correspondent to the Tribune at Wel lington ; the Star at Christchurch ; the New Plymouth Budget, and gives himself out to be of Royal pedigree ; his mendacious doings have already laid the foundation of several libel actions which are not unlikely to come off unless apologies are made. The Tribune has already eaten the leek for the fellow by apologising for having thoughtlessly inserted one of his telegrams. The case against it will probably go no further.

NAPIER.

(From oar own Correspondent.) This day. Sir Donald McLean arrived yesterday and goes to his station to-day. The Luna is' detained here. Mr Sheehan is pressing on the Heretaunga case to be heard this session. The claimants are trying to postpone.it until November. Th» Mangatiriri case doubtless comes on in

May. Several legal points will be raised. If the points are successful the title to three fourths of land acquired from the natives will be overthrown. Mr. Vogel's Next Budget. It is stated on good authority that Mr Vogel will come out and produce a budget shewing a surplus remaining from the last loan of four nrillioDS ; point to the prosperity of the colony, and say, "God bless you, children," and return home to his fathers. Mrs Vogel and family staying in England, confirms this supposition. Prevalence of Fever. The mortality here is excessive; four deaths occurred "last niaht. The disease was imported by the ship Clarence. It is generic typhoid, and the patients assume the same features during the disease and after death as those who died on board the Clarence. Four and five people in one house are down with the fever. A quarantine barracks erected at a heavy cost has never been used. The Clarence immigrants wondered at the temerity of the Immigration Officer in allow ing them to land. Their bedding and cloth ing was burned. The Immigration Depart ment here is very faulty and careless. Mr. Ormond's Intentions- Mr. Orniond stands again for the Pro vincial Council, and will then be next Super intendent. Scene in the Churchyard. In the case of two funerals to-day, two graves were found too small for the people to be buried in. The services were protracted to make room for the interment. Political. Mr. Stuart, Mayor, stands for the Pro vincial Council, and, it is whispered, intends contesting the seat with Sir Donald McLean in the Assembly at the next general election.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. The Governor's Arrival. The arrival of the Governor yesterday caused very little excitement. Many shops were not closed, pursuing business as usual. There was a small display of bunting, and few people in bhe streets. The town was very dull considering the near approach of the race meeting. * The Race Meeting. Good racing is expected, as many horses from a distance have come to compete with the Canterbury animals. The public have made Templeton their favorite for the prin cipal event the Great Autumn Handicap, but sporting writers think differently. The Christchurch journals all give King Phillip as the probable winners. All events, bow ever, seem very open at present. Friday's racing will probably bring up new favorites. The Horses Bolt with His Excellency. The Governor's entry into Christchurch was nearly signalled by a serious accident. On leaving the station, the horses in the carriage pulled very hard, and, when in High-street, fairly overpowered the driver, and bolted. The aid-de-camp stood up and assisted the driver, but the carriage was within an ace of being dashed against a large stone lamp-post in High-street. The horses proceeded at a furious pace, and were made worse by the people galloping alongside, and the .clatter of the escort to Cathedral Square, where they were stopped fortunately without injuring anyone.

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day. "Wreck and Loss of Life- The schooner Richard and Mary has been wrecked near Castle Point. The captain's son named Hutchinson and another man were drowned. The vessel is a total wreck. She is owned in Westport. It is not known if insured. Auckland Divorce Case. In the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Court, this morning, a case was heard : Foukes v. Foukes and Cross, co-respondent. The petitioner applied for a dissolution of marriage upon the ground that the wife committed adultery with the co-respondent (Cross) in 18G6, at Howick, Auckland, where the parties were married, The reason given for the petitioner not making application for dissolution sooner was want of means. The respondent admitted the charge, she having been living with Cross now for eight years, at Wellington.—A dissolution was granted, and a common jury assessed damages at £100. A Woman Killed by falling down the Lighthouse stairs. A sad accident occurred at the lighthouse at Pencarrow Heads last night, with fatal results. Mrs Hurdle, the wife of one of the lighthouse-keepers, had been taking some supper to her husband, who was on the top of the tower. She had descended the stairs safely as far as the first landing ; but just afterwards Hurdle heard screams, and the sound of a fall. He found his wife lying at the foot of the staircase. Her injuries were so serious that she expired this morning from the effects. &,****. Ngaruawahia Wharf. -v~.~. The following tenders were received to day by the Public Works Department for the construction of a wharf at Newcastle, Ngaruawhia. Accepted:—John Briton, New castle, £1373. Declined, John Taylor, Auckland, £1408; J. and G. Winston, Auckland, £1771.

NEW PLYMOUTH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Wednesday. Ironsand Works. The ironsand furnace is now completed, and only requires flooring on platform. The foundation for engine and boiler is now being laid.

CHRISTCHURCH.

[Per Press Telegram Agency]. This day. The Governor holds a leve"e to-day, when an address will be presented by the City Council, religious, and other bodies, and a public ball will be held in the evening. Accidents at the Governor's Reception. Four accidentsjoccurredin connection with the Governor's reception yesterday. Two members of the Cavalry escort were thrown violently from their horses and severely bruised, but no bones were broken. A trap, containing a woman and two children were capsized. The trap was smashed, but the occupants escaped uninjured. A woman was kicked by a horse while standing in the crowd, and seriously hurt. The Races.—Acceptances. The following are the acceptances for the autumn meeting :—Sfc. George's Handicap: Eorv O'More. 9st 12lb ; Castaway, Ssb ; Somnambula, 7st 61b; Gay Fawkes,6st 121b; Nearo 6st 7ib ; Spritsail, 6st 51b ; Nectar, 6at3lb Hurdle Race: Rory O'More,. 12st 7lb: Medora, list 41b ; Tommy Dodd, lOst 41b j Mousetrap, 9st ; Alice Grey, 9st. . . The interest in the races is increasing considerably in speculation on the Autumn Handicap. Tadmor came up with a rush in the betting yesterday. Odds now are- Templeton, 2 to 1 ; King Philip, Tadmor, Castaway, 3to 1 ; on Parawhenua, 4 to 1. A local sporting man has bet t^ou to £500 that he will find a horse in this pro vince to beat Templeton 1| miles, weight for age. Rory O'More is supposed to be the horse meant. The bet is subject to the owner of Rory O'More allowing him to run the Ashburton races. The two days promise te be the most' successful district meeting ever held in the province. Entries are larger and comprise all the best horses engaged in the Metropolitan Autumn ■Meeting.-'"* t&vW"'

SUNDAY-SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.

The fifteenth anniversary of the Pitt-street Sabbath-school was celebrated last evening The tea was in the school-room, and the public meeting was conducted in the chapel above. The chairman (Mr J. L. Wilson), said : Christian friends, —I can hardly be lieve that this is the fifteenth anniversary of this Sabbath-school. It will only be wasting the time of the meeting by my speaking, when it will be occupied by able speakers, which I see upon my programme, and I shall soon gladly give place* to those who shall follow me. It is not necessary to say anything novr-a-days in defence of Sab bath-schools. Their usefulness is acknow ledged by all, and year by year this is more and more manifest. Now no place of worship is erected but the Sabbath-school is part and parcel of its construction. It is not for me to point out the qualifications of a Sunday school teacher, but I cannot but say that there should be nothing perfunotai-y in it He should be at his class from choice ; from sympathy with his Saviour, and from earnestness with the children he meets week by week. There should be earnestness, sincere earnestness in the teacher. If this be wanting, little good will be accomplished in the hearts of the little ones ; also the teacher must be regular in attendance. If he is found absent from his place on the Sabbath, the children will soon doubt his sincerity. He cannot be too punctual. Nothing is so bad for himself or his boys as to see a teacher five or ten minutes late, in a hurry rushing to catch up : it is one of the worst examples that could be set to the school, and example is better than precept. Be sure you do your work well; if you do you will see fruit sooner or later, and you shall reap a rich harxest by and by. Be circumspect : you cannot be too careful in the performance of your duty. The children's eyes are upon you ; and if the parents would strive more to second the work of the teacher, a vast work would be done. The report read by Mr Hosking, Jan., was of an encouraging nature. It showed the following :—Children on the Books : 414— 20S boys and 20G yirls, a slight increase on the past year. Average attendance : Morn iusr, 120 ; evening, 3GL Teachers on the books, 35. Average attendance : Morning, 19 ; evening, 25. Books in library, G47 ; 50 volumes were added during the year. Receipts, £73 ISs 3d; expenditure, £75, shewing a debt of £1 2s 6d. —The liev. Watkiu began his address in a moit humor ous style, but finished in a masterly manner. He had no particular subject, and in the course of his remarks, he said, in referring to the Bible being read in public schools, that the day-school had quite enough to do to attend to its calling to teach secular instruction, that the teaching of the Bible was peculiarly the work of tli3 parent, the Sabbath-school, and the ministers of Christ. There is a remarkable difference of opinion upon this subject among the ministers in con nection with the Wesleyan body. The Rev. Williams, the newly-arrived preacher, de livered a neatly prepared address, on what the Christian ministry should do for the young. Mr Martin gave one of his first-class addresses, upon the importance of little things—appropriate for' a Sabbath-school anniversary. Mr Ewington gave, in his usual style, an address upon Sabbath-schools —their past, present, and future. The Rev. tx. H. Turner also addressed the meeting. At the close, the Superintendent of the school, Mr R. Arthur, explained, how (as far as the school was concerned)_ the Bible' Society meeting and their anniver sary came upon the same evening. The arrangements for the anniversary were made weeks before any notice of the Bible society appeared, and all their tickets and bills were printed and distributed, and it was almost impossible without great harm to the school to give up the evening. At the cloee votes of thanks to the choir, ladies, and Chairman, were carried. The choir, we must not forget to say, acquitted itself admirably under the leadership of the Church organist.

SUPREME COURT.

CIVIL SITTINGS.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

Williamson v. Pbarse,

The nature of this action was published in our columns of last evening. Charles Gibbs, storekeeper and farmer of Coromandel, who was lesiee of an adjoining allotment, cave evidence as to conversations about a road across the land, which was jointly formed, but to which defendant afterwards objected. Mr Elmsley corro borated. Messrs Rose and Laishley also deposed to conversations between the parties and the drawing up of the deed. At the conclusion of the evidence, which was of a very misty character, his Honor said it would be his duty in face of the evi dence before the Court, to direct the jury that there was no evidence as to any agree ment to except the roads from the lease. Mr MacOormick then said he would pro ceed no further, but take a nonsuit, and move for a new trial, as he believed there was ground on the first issue for such. His Honor then entered a nonsuit, reserving to Mr MacCormick the right to move for a new trial accordingly.

The Court then rose.

"POOR STROLLERS."

Such was the title of the three-act drama performed last evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre on the occasion of the complimentary benefit to that popular actress, Miss Clara Stephenson. This drama was represented with much eclat a quarter of a century ago at the Olympic Theatre, London, and to see it again, after such a lapse of years was like a revival of old times. We were glad to notice a full house, and that the dress circle was well patronised ; indeed it was one of the best houses of the season. The principal character, Lady Camilla was alloted to Miss Clara Stephenson, who executed her task with consummate ability. Miss Patty Holt appeared as Sloeberry, Mrs Jones as Red jury, and Mrs Thornton as Placeda. These ladies were equal to their parts, and won well-merited applause. Mr Sam Poole was excellent as Dogbriar, the tinker, who always took an opportunity like the little birds, of picking and stealing by the way, and while he mended one hole in a saucepan made two for his next job. The part of the travelling tinker afforded great scope for Mr Poole's abilities, and his jokes and dry phrases were immensely successful' Mr Aveling was also first-rate as Maurice Warner, and the characters of Jonquil, by Mr Sweeney, May bush by Mr Peering, Sir Philip by Mr Hollo way, and Major Lumley by Mr Thornton were highly commendable. We may say that the " Poor Strollers " was well put upon the stage, the orchestra was deserving of credit, and the scenery by Mr Thornton worthy of eulogy. The burlesque of "Orpheus and Eurydice" concluded a capital entertainment. This burlesque, in imitation of Alberb Smith's "Blanche Herriot," introduces the aspiring Orpheus with his manuscript of rhymes, which Orpheus (Miss Stephenson) considered were nearly equal in their language terse to those choice couplets found in Blackman's verse. This burlesque, which contained many local touches went extremely well, although as a poetic composition it was full of errors. Some pretty songs were sung by the members of the company, and Miss Patty Holt and Miss Maggie Knight appeared to much advantage. This evening the favorite drama of East Lynnewili be performed for the last time. The character of Isabel Vane and Madam Vine is, perhaps, the most successful of all Mrs Darrell's brilliant impersonations. Mr. Darfell appears as Sir Francis Levison.

MR THORNTON'S BENEFIT.

A complimentary benefit will be given to morrow (Friday) evening to Mr H N. Thorn ton, actor and artist, on which occasion La Petite Amy will make her first and only appearance in tnat character. This young lady (daughter of Mr Thornton) has been spoken of as a prodigy by the Southern press, and from what we can gather the encomiums were not ill-deserved. The Otaqo Times says of a performance at the Princess Theatre, that "Little Amy, as a singer and dancer, was the chief attrac tion, and seems to love her profession, and in the character of Prince Arthur (in which she will appear to-morrow evaning) the same journal says : " She acted well throughout, shewing an intelligent con ception of her parb, which she invested with appropriate touches of natnre, and moved the sympathies of the audience " This little lady may, in fact, pride herself upon having achieved quite a triumph. As to-morrow will be the only opportunity sightseers will have of seeing the remarkable performances of Miss Amy, the majority will take the opportunity of witnessing her exquisite representation*. The programme includes the moral drama of " Ten nights in a Bar room ," a scene from " King John," and the " Trial ecene from tbe Merchant of Venice," in which the whole company will appear. The bill of faro should commaud a good house, which the peculiar talents of the arris.t-actor deserve.

The great tragedy of " Macbeth," with new scenery sud ineehanical effects, is an nounced for Saturday next.

HABEAS CORPOS.

We understand that Sergeant King, of the A.C. force, stationed at Tauranga, recently sentenced by a Board of Commissioners to three months imprisonment with hard labour, for insulting language to Captain Foster, and now undergoing his sen tence at Mount Eden, will make an applica tion by counsel to-morrow before Mr Justice Gillies for his discharge on the ground of illegal conviction.

THE BIBLE SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the Auckland Auxiliary of this excellent institution was held last night in the Young Men's rooms, Wellesley-street, Sir George Arney in the chair. The proceedings opened with prayer, after which the Chairman spoke to the ineatin in an earnest lone upon the operations of the Bible Society during the past year, and called special attention to the practical aid given to it, by the various congregations of this city. He also referred to the successful circulation of the Scriptures among the native population, and recommended the circulation of the bible among all classes, in order that the word of truth might be known to all men The Rev. Mr Lawry, hon. secretary to the Society, then- read the annual report (29) which, though lengthy, was of a very interesting and encouraging nature, shewing that the Auckland branch had issued from April 1, 1874, to March 31, 1875, no less than 228(3 copies of the bible among Xuropeans and natives. The balance sheet for the past year was read by Mr Firth, and shewed that the receipts had been £182 2s Gd, from sales of Bibles ; collections, £195 10s Sd ; total £387 Is 3d, while the expenses had been £73 4s 9d, remittances to the Parent Society, £313 lGs Gd ; balance on hand £7 5s sd. On the motion of Rev. C. M. .Nelson, seconded by Rev. G. H. Turner, the report and balance sheet were adopted. It was moved by Rev. R. F. Macnicol, seconded by Rev. P. H. Cornford," and carried that, " while this meeting gratefully acknow ledge the Divine goodness, as manifested to thin and kindred societies in the success of thtir efforts to circulate the Holy Scriptures it earnestly appeals to the friends of Gospel truth for their continued support, and it would urge upon them the necessity for faithful prayer that the diffusion and perusal of the inspired Word of God may be acorn panied, in all lands, by the power of the Holy Ghost." Mr Firth then moved that the thanks of the meeting be given to the ladies and officers who had assisted the cause by their gratiuous labours, also that the following gentlemen be proposed for the committee for the ensuing year President : The Right Rev. the Bishop of Waiapu. Vice-president : The Right Rev. the Bishop of Auckland. Treasurer : Josiah C. Firth, Esq. Hon. Sec. : Rev. H. H. Lawry. Agent: Mr. J. Edson. Committee: Yen. Archdeacon Maunsell, Revs. Dr. Wal lace, Dr. Kidd, E. N. Bree, R. S. Bunn, R. Burrows, P. H. Cornford, J. T. Warlow Davies, B. T. Dudley, T. Hamer, — Hassard, J. Hobbs, A. Macdonald, J. Macky, R. F. Macnicol, J. Mandeno, C. M. Nelson, A. Reid, W. Tinsley, G. W. Turner, J. Wallis, J. Warren, W. J. Williams, Hon. Colonel Haultain, Dr. Kenderdine, Messrs. F. Batt ley, D. Caley, J. Coupland, W. C.

Stewart. Executive Com mittee : Revs. Dr. Maunsell and A. Reid, Hon. Colonel Haultain, Messrs. F. Battley, J. Couplaud, J. Edson, T. Macffarlane, and R. B. Shalders." This was seconded by hia Worship the Mayor, and carried. A vote of thanks, on the motion of Sir George Grey, seconded by Mr. Thomas Macffarlane, was unanimously accorded to Sir George Arney for his kindness in presiding over the meet ing. The collection amounted to £10 17s. 6d. The doxology closed the meeting.
