The proceedings were of an exciting nature The meeting was packed by small holders, and thirteen names proposed as trustees. Messrs. Saml. Clarke, J. A. Chadwick, David Bill, London, and Stephen Zarle were elected. Messrs. Clarke and Lundon declined acting, and the other candidates, as it came to their turn also declined acting with Messrs.

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. - Steamers for the North. The following are passengers per Phcebe, for the Manukau :—Mr and Mrs Saunders. The Hawea takes no passeDgers for Auck land. .'■ Pedestrianism. Ihe walking match between yonng Scott and Edwards is fixed for September 7tb. The Fire Brigade. The Star to-night says it is not surprised that the Fire Biigade seem fit to disband, and we regret that the imprudence of the remarks of Mr R. Fish should have led to their determination to resign. Really the Corporation has nothing to do with Insurance Companies, and to try to bully them into increased contributions on the threat of withdrawing public support from a body of men who sacrifice so much to secure the lives and property of their fellow-citizens, is as ungrateful to them as it is indecorous in itself. After eulogising the Brigade, it concludes by stating it is a pity that Mr Fish's long experience in public matters has not taught him when to speak and when to hold his tongue. The Otago Members- All our MjLß.'s took passages in the Union Company's new boat Hawea. Another Waste Lands Dispute. Bu Honor gave judgment re the South land Waste Lands Act exparte Mcintosh. The point at issue herein was whether a certain reservation by the Superintendent of Lands, comprising... amongst other three applications by Chas. Melntosh for land in Oretio hundred, whereof notification was published and proved in Gazette of July 15, 1874, waß or was not good in law. His j Honor decided there was specific reservator, and upheld the' decision of the Board. Leave to appeal was granted. ■An/application for writ was obtained in the matter of the Heriot hundred; It was before the Court sitting all day, and business is still unfinished. The Judge decided to com municate with the Chief Justice to ascertain whether it could be arranged for him (Judge Johnston) to remain here longer, or finish our Banco business in Christchurch. J Important Judgment. t Mr Justice Johnston gave two important judgments to-day; In the case Logan v. Otago Waste Lands Board, an action to compePthe: Board to sell him - certain lands ■t 20s per acre, the Judge dealt with the conclusion of the counsel for the Board that the case was one in which a remedy must be »y measure; and: not by appeal, by stating that it was not specially provided what the consequences were to be if theßoard disobeyed statute,; but even if a mandamus were neces sary to Bet them in motion in case they took no steps consequent upon the decision of the court, it does not;follow that this appeal is not properly brought, and that Court is not bound to give: a decision under the Act. The w ncipal <lueation' is, whether' the Otago Waste Land Board were or were not justified in refusing to entertain and grant an applica tion made by appellant for the land in ques tion^asrural land, open for purchase at 20s per acre. The Board .profess to have refused *° do so, on the assumption that upon the facts set put in the affidavit of: Logan-and certificate, of the Superintendent, it was admitted by counsel, before the conclusion of the argument, that the land in question was j not in point laid; open for sale as rural land, having been authoritively declared to be land of special value,' under section' 85 of the Act, 1872. ; ; After carefully reviewing the - facts in detail as established by the affidavit of the appellant, and not disputed by the Board; he proceeded to Btate : " The appel ant contends that he has a right to treat the lands in question as rural lands open for sale ?r disposal, under section 35 of Act, 1872, to respect of which the price' in the. absence of competition on the same day is, by section 36, fixed at twenty shillings, subject to certain; exceptions. On facts as1 stated, A do not think it can fairly be contended: that the land was Reserved or withdrawn from. sale.'or disposal by the ■Board with the consent of the Superintendent on the ground of its sale ordisposal being, or likely to'be, prejudicial to the public ;\ ""^^--My opinion is! that the grounds \X«ei to be. taken as several, not cumulative, it.appears that improvements have ac tually beetfmade; Upon the whole, 1 I come *> WO conclusion that the Case is brought

within the provision of section 85. I cannot say I feel very confident in the propriety of th;s decision, and greatly i egret that an interest of so important a character should depend on the decision of a question so nairow, and comparatively immaterial." J-"e appeal was dismissed, and the certificate ordered, to be sent to the Board confirming .heir decision. Leave of appeal was granted. Costs awarded to the respondents.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Saturday. .Funeral Reform. At a meeting of the Funeral Reform Asso ciation, a resolution was agreed to, not to prescribe any set form of mourning, but that all members should promise the discon tinuance of wearing expensive mourning, and especially crape by females. Also to encourage the wearing of nothing more than a band of crape or cloth on the left aim, as a sign of mourning by males. It was also re soh ed to purchase a horse and trap, to let on hire, j.or funerals at a cheap rate, Disgraceful Outrage. A most disgraceful scene took place yes terday. _ The outskirts of the town are sel dom visited by the police, and there is ample space for perpetration of brutal outrage with out interference. A dozon or more of men and larrikins were drinking in a house near twe town belt, and two began the disturbance by falling into the gutter, biting and kick ing one another. After some time others got excited, and a free fight ensued. Di rectly one was down the whole pack set on mm, and^in this way several were nearly killed. No oue seems to have interfered. One had bis j«iw broken by a kick, and the extent of injuries to others is not yet known.

Later from Fiji.

By the arrival of the Dauntless from Fiji we have later papers. The chief item of news ii the arrival of the new Governor and an account of the reception accorded him. His Excellency stated that although he had his commission and the charter of the colony with him, he did not intend to proclaim either until the new machinery was got into peifeet working order. Meanwhile the government would be continued as at present, although under his direction. Dysentery is veiy prevalent among the natives of Taviuna. The Fiji Times objects to the practice pnr sued by some journalists of stigmatising the residents of Fiji. It says j it is the custom to class the community as a whole, and under the same brand of desperadoes, to regard us as mere outcasts of society." The same journal says : "From a private source we learn that letters have been re ceived at Kadavu to the effect that the Mail Company have secured Kadavu as the station for themselves in connection with the Pacific route of steamers." The Suva sugar mill will again start work in about a week from date, and as there is any quantity of cane awaiting treatment it will be kept' hard at work for some time to come, —^MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. It was with, very great regret that we learnt of the sad bereavement that Mr John Fisher, of Taviuni, has recently sustained by the loss of his wife from drowning; a melancholy catastrophe which occurred on the 13th inst. From information we have received we learn that Mrs. Fisher and her two Tokalu ser vants were washing in the creek, when suddenly a torrent some feet in height rushed through the gorge, and by its force and rapidity swept the unfortunate lady away. In this district where the hills so much attract the moisture, it is often rain ing on the high grounds when the sun is shining on the shore, and the creek or rather rocky defiles which serves to carry off the water is so completely locked in that the slightest flush brings the water Sown in a torrent, which ibcreasing its rapidity by its preciptions decent, carries all before it when it emerges on the flat. The native women escaped but Mrs Fisher endeavoured to save .the clothes and was carried to sea by the full force of the torrent. 1 TERRIBLE RAVAGES OF THE MEASLES The terrible ravages caused by measles continue on some islands. A reliable esti mate places the number of deaths on the island of Vanua Lan alone fat 18,712. A>, correspondent of the Fiji Times writing horn" that island says : at the town of Dromo Na Nauku, nearly all the ablebodied men were at, the date of my visit, 26th April, reported to to be dead, and the messenger of death was there, claiming other victims daily; At the small tovn of Taci Levu, two tirsga lewas, and a son af one of them, together with 33 natives, had died, including a woman, who strangled herself with a rope. In one native town, there are 40 persons dead, and the pigs are eating the bodies, as there is but one man left to bury them.—At the town of Vuni Lagi, containing about 70 able-bodied men, 30 had died, and as many were sick. In the small town of Nanuca, 15 men had died, including Ratu Naisa, a Ban teacher, and the measles wss still prosecuting its work of death among them. The accounts from Macuata are very distressing ; in some of the towns there were none left to bury the dead; in other in stances the deaths were so numerous that the bodies were- left in the hvts and the towns burnt ■'. to } ashes. On the Labasa River the dead bodies were thrown into the stream, which landed them along its shores, where dog?, pigs, and birds, of prey had a continual feast. When all these horrors will end and death and destruc tion be stayed, is beyond calculation. The Government, it would seem, has done little or nothing towards mitigating the calamity towards the relief of the poor suffering, starv ing dying natives. The town of JNawi on this coast has been deserted and burnt. It appears that the measles carried off the in habitants so fast that those of them who had not yet caught, the disease got frantic with fear and ran away from the town leaving the dead, dying, and helplessly sick to their fate ;. two o r three of the latter escaped with their lives, and fired the town to consume the dead and banish £he pestilence. The accounts from Natava Bay are truly appalling. r Mr Ross, formerly se cretary-'to Tui' Cakau, informed me that in the town of Koronaisaca, one hundred and twenty deaths had occurred from measles, including one man whe took, himself in. despair. One hundred^ and ten natives are reported to have died»the.Bay ?n tbe bush, where they resorted,to inthe hope-: of escaping the dreaded disease. To "use Mr. Kobb': expressive words, the natives at the Bay were rtjldy £J. off-like rotten sheep. A report from Daniela, a native teacher confirms and supplements Mr Ross' .account. Another report:; from Natava Bay states tha* of the teachers assembled there in a town named Biaugnna,: to hold the usual quarterly church .■■_ meeting; twenty sSdied of melsles; and that the town of NaVeni was deserted and burnt, after one hundred and thirty deaths had occurred in

FOOTBALL.

PARNELL V. PONSONBY.

This match came off in the Domain on Saturday afternoon. At the opening of the game Parnell was onfy represented by ten players, while Ponsonby had their full com pliment of fifteen. At half-time, however, three more Parnellites turned up aud rein forced their party. As the contest progressed it was evident that although fewer in number, the local team were fully a match for their opponents, who had all their work to pro tect their goal-line; and thus they were unable to do quite effectually as no less than . three " touch-downs" were scored by Parnell With their usual ill-luck they were not able to turn any of these, into " goals" although in the " tries" the ball twice passed within a yard of the desired region. When time was called no decisive ad vautage had been trained by either side, so that the match ended in a draw, Parnell enjoying the barren honour of having " had the best of it." In the course of the game there was little really good play exhibited on either side if we except the drop-kicking which was excellent on the part of both. The Ponsonby men1 helped one another better than the Parnell did, but there was a sad lack of co-operation all over the field. Very few players, when in possession of the ball, seemed to take in the situation when, they were hopelessly surrounded by the enemy, and instead of by a little prompt jid^meui passing the ball to another of their fide, or kicking it away before it was too late, they would hug it to them as if thoy loved it, and coukl'nt on any account part with it. Ibis is a portion of she game which rtquires a great deal more attention than it gels in Auckland. ! here was also, especially on the part of Ponsonby, though Parnell was not guiltless, too much loitering behind the ball. " Follow ing up " is the main feature of the Rugby Union game, and although a man may often secure an advantage by adopting the loitering principle, such play is not sportsmanlike. It reminds one of shooting at a sitting pheasant. Some youngsters who joined in the battle did good service. They were principally Grammar-school boys, among whom young Anderson was conspicuous by his fearlessness, when encountering the "big-uns." R. Yati£f made a most encouraging debut as a football player, and obtained a touchdown in gallant styJe. The Parnell uniforms made their first appearance and looked very well. Captains of sides should see that their men do not infringe the rules by being iron-shod. AUCKLAND V GRAFTON. . This match also came off on Saturday in the Domain, or rather we should say a match under the title came off, for from what we could see, it was Grafton aud North Shore against Auckland. No goals were obtained on either side. It is a pity that all the interest should be taken out of a match by such combinations.

COMMERCIAL.

At the sale of trees, shrubs, plants, &c.,' held in the Market-house, by Mr Creenwood, on Saturday afternoon, tho attendance was good, and the prices realised were very satisfactory. We see by adveitisement that Mr Greenwood intends having thse sales every Saturday afternoon during the planting season. Messrs. E and H. Isaacs held a sale, to day, of 0 cases of French ornaments for wedding cake 3 and confectioners' decorations of all kinds ; also, boxes of crystalised fruits and sweets and cosaques of all descriptions. The trade was well represented, and the bidding spirited. . Considering' the large quantity that was submitted to auction, very satisfactory prices were realised. • !M§i>iL«..

HAMILTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Mill Burnt at Taxnahere ws has reached here that Read's mill at Tamaheve was burnt down last night. A few weeks ago some sticks and rags were found under the mill which had burned but gone out, Mr Read was staying with Captain Steele when the news arrived this morning. The mill was insured in the National for £450. The loss is estimated at £1000. |

"vvYdirtci particular attention to the fine inflicted upon Thomas Kecketts, master of the Fannie, cutter ; namely, £5 and costs or about £8 in all, for not having a light burning at the time the Police boat passed. The facts of the case are thse : JKicketts saw the light hoisted at tundown, and went home leaving two men on board. At ten o'clock, the men say, find ing the light out, we re-trimmed the lamp, and this was after a very heavy squall, during which the light was blown out. Capt. Burgess, knowing the universal good conduct of the master, Mr Beckitts, did not press the case, particularly after it was found that the master had used all reason able precautions and attention, but the unique J.P., Mr W. J. Hurt, laid down the law to Mr J. B. JKusiel', who appeared for Capt. Burgess, and notice is now given—" That all vessels must have a watch kept on deck—so that if the light goes out it can be at once re-lit." On the certificates of Drs. Purchas and Zinzan, a woman named Manning was com mitted from Onehunga to the asylum to-day. Insanity consequent on after confinement.
