The new arrangement between the Banks came into force to-day, and discounts now are 7 per cent, under 95- days, and 8 per cent, above that period, while the highest rate of interest to be allowed is 5 per cent.

DUNEDIN.

(From onr own Correspondent.) This day. Sir Julius Vogel. The Times reiterates the assertion that Sir Julius Vogel will not remain in the colony. 'Fatal Accident. David Graham, the Harbour Board over seer, Rattray-street, ]aft week took tempo rary charge of the dredge machinery, and got his hand entangled in the cogwheel. On Saturday tetanus set in. Graham died last night. Singular Death. Robert Newton, employed at Sparrow's foundry, was, while the machinery was in motion, placing a piece of board over a hole near the flywheel engine, when one end of the board,- catching him in the stomach, hurled him fifteen feet. He was picked up insensible, and lingered till yestsrday, when he died. Railways. The Winton and Kingston line is now ready for opening as far as Daniel's crossing. The Southland Eailway Committee is urging the district representatives in the Assembly to see the money negotiations be tween theGeneralandProvincialGovernments for the purchase of the Southland railways, care be taken to apply the proceeds to extend ing railways, and the constructing of wharves and bridges in Southland according to the terms of the re-union compact. The Provincial Government will shortly oppose thifi demand, as it will destroy all chances of constructing the light railways authorised by the Council. The Fire. Mr Flexman estimates his loss at £8000 over the insurances. A month ago he was insured for £20,000. We have received the following South British telegram from Danedin agency giving the insurances:—"Flexman's fellmongery establishment burnt.

South British loss not total." Cromwell Crushing. The Cromwell Company's last crushing yielded a cake of 630 ozs. Mr. Justice Johnston's Charge. The following were portions of Mr Justice Johnston's charge of colonial interest. "vV c have been in the habit at times a little too rashly of congratulating ourselves upon the paucity of offences of a serious character .in the colony. Perhaps, on closer examina tion, we should find that in proportion to the population there was still a considerable amount of substantial crime. He was glad to say that upon the present occasion, and, indeed, in any poitions of the colony he had visited, he had not been able to discover, with, the immigrants, any traces of the dangerous classes having been introduced. The greatest care would have to "be taken to prevent the establishment of anything like an organised criminal class. The zealous care of the police shoald be particularly directed towards dimi . rushing the means of communication between ill-dißposed persons for the purpose of disposing of property improperly obtained. With regard to tampering with cheques he flaa often made it his duty to point out the extreme necessity and importance to those engaged in trade, of protecting themselves against this crime by exercising greater pru dence and less anxiety to get rid of their wares, as a means of preventing this crime. ■The police and law could not effectively pro tect-society unless society protected itself to many cases the judge Bhould mark his "pnse of the practice by depriving such per pn, when prosecutors or witnesses in cases of ( Mb kind, of costs. They had no right, by £ neir carelessness, to cast upon society the S pst of prosecuting such cases. I I Sentences. ' \ s The^GrandgJory threw out the bill against

The cutter Nautilus from'Timam to-day, reports passing wreckage off Waitaka, con sisting of a beam 20ft. long, and a piece of keel, with partners attached. Sabbath Desecration. The Rev. Mr. Leeson, of the Port Episco palian Church, delivered a stirring sermon on Sunday upon Sabbath desecration. He particularly condemned the practice of des patching steamers on Sunday, and declaimed against the grasping cupidity of owners and agents who are given to select Sunday as a preferable sailing day, and so compelled men to work to minister to the iniquitous gains of their employers. The rev. gentleman slashed right and left. The sermon being reported by the Times, quite a sensationjwas created. His outspokenness is generally commended.

DUNEDIN.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) ■This day.

The resignations were sent in 6 Saturday, and Dr Pollen was sent for.

Luncheon Aboard the Hawea.

By special invitation to-day from Six George McLean, one of the directors throgh Messrs Henderson and Macfarlane, agents of the Union Steamship Company, a Uje number of gentlemen proceeded to Onehuga to-day by special train at noon to inspecthe magni ficent steamship Hawea, and tak< luncheon aboard. We have already a full description of the vetsel, whichhas been admired at all ports along the gist The following particulars of to day*i proceed ings have been received

[Per Star Carrier Pieon.]

The train arrived in 20 minus. 120 invitations had been issued. In cceequence of the Hero leaving, many wereirevented attending who would otherwise {We been present. The guests were struck withjjhe' mag nificent appearance of the vessel!. Every thing is very superior. The following is a list of tfce who accepted invitations : —Messrs. O'Arke, B. lraland, Dr Goldsbqro, Captain 4derson, E. Lewis, Stewart, Dacre, Mjdonald, W. F. Wheeler, H. S. Meyers, % "Reid. McMillan, Cunningham, Gaptainfhomas, Shera, D. Hean, Luckie, Mills, ;<istoms, Davis. Representing Brogden T.Niccol, Bell, G. S. Graham, Chirg, JSyan, !. Mc col, J. Y. Stevenson, Biss, J. Pqtds, H. Brett, Grant, Brewer, Harditt, Gbdhue, H. B. Morton, Captain Wing, i\ n der Heyde, Barstow, and about 20 othejij Ltinner was served shortly after 1 o'<o<k. Afterwards Mr G. McLean took thtekir, and Oapt. Malcolm the vice chair. | \ Onehunga, %>.n. About 70 gentlemen sat down to a ffat class luncheon supplied by the Comjat's providore, and laid out in exTsellentytle, Justice was fully done to the good this pj ovided. When the cloth was removed-I Mr George McLean, one of the direct* wbo occupied the chair, gave the "Qu& and Royal Family" and "The Prince a| Princess of Wales." The Chairman then gave " His Honor t| Superintendent, and Success to the PiS vince of Auckland." The Hawea was tfi first passenger steamer of her class which ha] visited the Manukau, and he trusted would be supported by the people of tM province. jSnckland was about the principal city of New Zealand. He had heard some| thing about it being in poor circumstances^ but anyone who had seen the wonderful^ impovements he had witnessed since his] arrival would be agreeably disappointed. He was pleased to see suchprospenty. In this province we had many things they had not in other provinces. He would refer more especially to the magnificent kauri forests which enabled their shipbuilders to turn out such beautiful vessels. He had cruised amoDg the islands in one of Auckland s favourites, and he was confident that no stronger or smarter vessel could be found.' Bat he would tell us of our faults as well as of our good qualities : the wharf accommodation at Unehunga was anything bub good. He al luded especially to this because it was a fault which required mending. T^ c, s Pea^ er then alluded to the Thames Goldfields, which he described as the richest that had ever been found. AucklandJgda brilliant future before her, and inciea^^ettlement would increase her prosp<«| In the absence of His Honor the SupSrjntendent, from whom he had received a letter ex plaining and apologising for his absence, he would couple with the toast the name of the Hon. Mr O'Jiorke. ■ . Mr G M. O'Eorke very much regretted that Sir G. Grey was not present. He thanked Mr McLean on behalf of his Honor, aud felt sure that that gentle man was heartily sorry at not being able to be there. He felt his inability to fill Sir George's place. The Super intendent -would have been able to con trast New Zealand to-day with her condition twenty years ago, when there was only one funnel on the coast He recollected making a visit to Dunedin in the brig Victoria which was the mail 1: ju: y1" the period. He

steamer they ,weio 'visiting. In the days of the old Nelson they were always expecting their mails long before they arrived and very often after keeping a look out for days together, she would turn up in the Waitemata. Mr McLean had referred to the want of wharf accommodation at Onehunga. He was pleased to inform them that plans had already been prepared, providing accommodation for such vessels as the HaWea. (Cheers). . Mr th M. She fa called upon the company present to fill up bumpers to the toast he had now to propose. He was certainly pleased that the honor of proposing the toast of '• Prosperity to the Union Steam Shipping Company " had been conferred upon him, and he called upon them to respond to it with "three times three." He considered the Company had inaugurated a Dew era in the coastal service, and he wished them to join him in wishing success to the vessel they were on, and the Company. From time to time they had heard of the energy and enterprise of their Southern friends, but he looked at the presence in their waters of this magnificient steamer as indicative of the growth and pros perity of Auckland equally with that of the South. Those who had spoken of the province as a pauper pro vince, had calumniated and maligned it. He would now ask them to drink the health of Mr. McLean, Captain Malcolm, and pros perity to the new Company. The toast was responded to with "Three times three." Mr McLean said as one of the directors and the only representative present, he thanked them for their good wishes. He had omitted to mention that he had re ceived apologies for non-attendance from Mr Justice Gillies (an old friend of his) and other leading citizens of Auckland. Many were under the impression this was a new company, but he wished to inform them it was only an extension of the old Harbor Co. He was glad to see that the Taupo had ar rived, after a rapid run of 62 days. There was no need to describe her. for she was an exact counterpart of the Hawea. It had been said that the boat was too large, but he believed that the growing trade of the colony would bo sufficient to induce them to place a third boat on the line. Over £90,000 of their capital was already paid up, and he believeded jthat there would be little difficulty in increasing it. 'lhey had several other boats on the coast. Mr McLean then gave some particulars of the power accommodation, &c, of the Hawea all of which have been already given iv our columns. They had tried, in point of fitings, to make people as comfor table on board as at home. He hoped other companies would not look upon them in the light of an opposition. In con clusion, he called upon them to drink success to the New Zealand Shipping Company, coupled with the name of Mr W. F. Wheeler. Captain Malcolm in returning thanks said he was filling the place of one who was well known to them. Captain Wheeler had been obliged to leave eitner his wife or the ship, aud they could not be surprised at the choice he had made.

Mr W. F. Wheeler returned thanks on behalf of the N.Z.S.S. Company. Mr R. Y. Shephenson, on behalf of tae *A.S.P. Com pany, and Mr M. Niccol, on behalf of the .North Shore Ferry Company. The health of Captain Wheeler was then proposed, and was responded to with " honors." Mr D. M. Luckie, M.H.ii., proposed " The Agents," which was rc spoLded to by Mr. G. Yon der Heyde, M.H.ii., who proposed " The Press." Several other toasts having been duly honored, the Company returned to town by special train.
