TELEGRAPHIC.

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON. (From our own Correspondent.) This day. More Geese to Pluck. There are ■whisperings of other journalistic ■ventures here, but they are not likely to come to much. It is very likely, however, that some sort of a new paper will be published during the session. An attempt at starting a Punch has been discussed a good deal in a certain circle. Fever Among the Maoris. Fever is reported to be destructive amongst the Maoris of the province at present. Sir Julius Vogel's Health. The Post says that private letters state that Sir Julius Vogel has regained robust health, but other letters quite as private, and more reliable, say nothing of the kind. It is pretty certain there has been hot work between Sir Julius and Dr Featherstone, and very hot correspondence, so much ao that I- am told it is very ques tionable whether it will ever see daylight in the precincts of Parliament. Mr Kennaway, it is said, is enjoying all the happiness which idleness can confer, while be draws his salary with the punctuality of a civil servant, he does not put a foot inside the threshold of the Agent-General's office. Ministerial Conference. Friends of the Ministry beam with confi dence when speaking of the stability of the Ministry, and hold forth in such a way as to confer an idea that the Excutive have some secret trump card to play to the House. One never sees a Ministerial hint of any kind in the New Zealand Times now-a-day.

PORT CHALMERS.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Severe Gales.—The Sea Gull in Trouble. There has been a very heavy sea and gale the last day or two. The steamer Sampson, from Oamaru, arrived to-day. She hai to put into Moeraki yesterday for shelter. The steamer "Wellington arrived this evening. She was thirty hours from Lyttelton, and caught it hot and heavy coming up. The "brigantine Sea Gull, which had been anchored at the Heads windbound, returned to-day with loss of windlass and anchor, and 90 fathoms of chain. The windlass broke in halves, and the vessel narrowly escaped being driven to sea.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.} Thursday. Important Friendly Societies Decision. In the Supreme Court this morning Fred erick Pavittj late steward of the church property trust, charged with the embezzle ment of church funds, was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. Charles James, late steward of the Oddfellows' Lodge, charged •with larceny as a bailee of lodge funds, was acquitted. Judge "Williams said the indict ment could not be sustained, as no instruc tions had been given to the prisoner to pay the particular amount, mentioned in the in dictment into the bank. He said the Crown prosecutor was not to blame for the acquittal ef the prisoner, as in the present state of the law the treasurer of a Friendly Society could rob such society without rendering himself liable to imprisonment. Provincial Abolition.—Architects Charges. Mr Evan3 Brown, M.iLR., in meeting his constituents declared in favour of provincial abolition. The Board of Governors of" Canterbury College are resisting the claim of Mr Arm strong, architect, who has claimed £275, or 2\ per cent on the lowest tender for the new public library buildings. It appears that Mr Armstrong was instructed to prepare a plan to cost at most £6,000; but the lowest tender received was £10,920, and the Board were unable to go on with the buildings, yet Mr Armstrorg Bent in a bill for 2£ per cent on the lowest tender.

NAPIER.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Thursday. Sale of Owen Jones and Co.'s Horses There was sold by auction to-day some heavy draught horses, the late property of Mesrs Owen Jones and Co., railway contrac tors, Auckland, which brought £37 10s to £40; light horses. £20; light hacks £6 to £10.

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Thursday. To-night's Tribune Bays we are going to learn that latterly "the relations between Sir Julius Vogel and Dr. Featherston sre not so cordial as their joint connection with public business of the colony renders desirable. There is a general complaint of the lack of official reticence on the cart of the Agent- General.

HOKITIKA.

(Pet Press Telegram AgeDcy.) • . This day. At the sale-yards, Aruhurabeef averaged 428 6d pc» lOOlbs. There are no sheep in the market,

DUNEDIN.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) * This day. Hump-backed Whale. A perfect specimen of a hump-backed whale, from Akaroa, 5 feet long, was re ceived at the Museum yesterday. This addition to the Museum is particularly valuable, and. hitherto in all the collections of the hump-backed whale inhabiting the Australasian seas, the ear bone only is known "* the scientific world. y The New Cathedral. i_ "» a meeting of the Cathedral Guild last mgfit, it was resolved to hold a religious service inside the new cathedral wall on December 16, that being the anniversary of laying the foundation stone and the anni

versary of the province.* The walls of th cathedral are not finished ar|d no portion o tho roof will be on by tl]e date stated. It was also resolved to present to the Bishop on the same occasion with » pastoral staff for the use of the See, and & crozier to him personally as Primate.

Strong Language re Education. A public meeting has, at last, been held to consider the educational question. The new education ordinance was universally con demned. One speaker went so far as to say the ordinance was most oppressive to the working man, and, rather than stand it, he would be one of the first to take his knap sack andibayonet, and shed his blood, rather than submit to it.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day. The Cure obtained 70 lbs. of specimens last night, and 15 lbs. this morning from the main face, where the reef is fully five feet thick. The Golden Calf crushing of 50 tons wil not be finished until to-morrow, but to all appearance there will be a very handsome yield.

"JOCCRISSE THE JUGGLER."

Such was the title of the sensational drama produced at the Prince of TVales Theatre last evening to a goodly assemblage of persons in attendance. Mr Collier, who acted the part of the juggler, did it very cleverly, to the delight of the aidience. The intention of the writer of the drama no doubt was to expose some of the trick* and decep tions of jugglers, and if it provdeffective in this respect, the drama will be of service. The piece, besides othere associations bearing upon the main idea, has of course a love story, without which scarcely anp section of literature would be complete. Tie beautiful daughter of Count de Lespierre ii the object ot the both, of Charles De Vernay (Mr Holloway) and his cousin Adolphi (Mr Aveling) j and the incidents of*the story stud the whole piece, and is brought to a happy issue. Miss Clara Stejhenson as Julia, was greatly successful. Mr Sam Poole as Tobie, made his characterluminous with his sunny humour and ready ?rit. The other parts of this lively production were well executed, and extremely pleasing in their unfoldings, and the drama itself, which will be repeated to-night, is one calculated to give satisfaction to many and offence to none. The " Loan of a Lover," ) pretty farce, brought the entertainment tt a close. In its place this evening, by way of a change, anew farce, "Barney the Baron," will be performed.

MEETING OF CREDITORS

A meeming of creditors in the eitate of George Edgcumbe, storekeeper, of JTgarua whia, was held Ihis afternoon in the offices of Messrs. Hesketh and Bichmond, Wyadhatn street,—Mr. McMillan in the chair; The meeting was largely attended. The bsukrupt, it appeared, had been in business for two years, and commenced upon credit, and had realised during that time £360 pro|t; his books debts were £1,800, which he aiwell as Mr Hume considered were all goodj within £50. He was indebted to the Bank j)f JSew Zealand on overdraft account, and |f was on that account his creditors had beenjcalled to gether. ..» Messrs. Owen and Graham were tjie largest creditors, and Mr. Heather saidlthe firm would not give more than 12s. 61 in the pound for the estate. Mr. Lewis thought that if creditors would allow time, Mr. Edgecumbe might pay 20s. Mr McCosh Ciark thought if Kr Edge combe could make a definite arrangement with the bank to leave the overi|aft, Mr Edgecombe might meet his engagements, and tradesmen might assist him in keeping up his stock. After a considerable amount of d&cussion it was agreed, on the motion of Mr| Lewis, seconded by Mr. Buchanan, "Thatif Mr. Edgecumbe could not realise more tSan 15s. that the estate be assigned over to trustees, with power to sell back to Mr. Edgecumbe if desirable, otherwise to realise on the estate to the "best advantage. Messrs. McCosh Clarke, Chambers, and Heather were appointed trustees.

ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY.

As the four-o'clock train from Auckland to Mercer was passing Messrs McLaughlin and Bassett's farms yesterday evening, the engine csme in contact with four beasts, who had strayed on to the line. All of them were killed, and their carcases were to be seen, this morning more or less mutilated lying at the side of the line. We learn that the railway fences heie are in a very bad state, .and 'the straying of cattle, on tlie line is of very frequent occurrence. If this is not looked to accidents destructive of human life as well as cattle will be likely to occur.
