T he meeting of the Superintendent with the people of the Thames on Saturday night furnishes an excellent instance of the success of an election ruse. The meeting was quite as large and quite as enthusiastic as was that at the Choral Hall. But the stupid tactics were perpetrated of coupling with a vote of thanks and confidence, a vote which was sure to lead to some discussion, at an hour when the whistling of the steamer at the wharf showed that time for discussion was not allowed. Anyone with the smallest knowledge of human nature, as it manifests itself in election times, might have known that this placed it in the hands even of one dissentient to defeat the desires of the most enthusiastic meeting, and as Billy Rowe sees his little game blown on by the possible candidature of Sir George Grey, it was not di fficult for him, by flattering the over weening self-conceit of Mr Bagnall to induce a little contretemps that is soj capable of being misrepresented by the enemies of the people. That the resolution, endorsing the already enormous requisition, would have been carried with enthusiasm had half an hour's discussion been admissible, is not dis puted by any. Indeed we are informed that Mr Bagnall explained himself as having for his object the promotion of the same object in another way and we are assured that the contretemps has so exasperated the people as to have supplied a stimulus to public feeling which was not required. The feeling manifested on Saturday night must have been a sore dis quietude to Mr Rowe, who has been pre paring himself to face public meetings by setting his house in order, intending to eschew uncleanness, and live righteously if, peradventure he may be forgiven. But such a meeting and the ovation, rendered in the huge concourse escorting the leader of the Opposition to the steamer, should be sufficient to show to the miserable hirelings of the Govern ment that the instincts of the body of the people are repugnant to any con firming of the reign of job and dodge.

'• Nemesis " in the Southern Cross this morn ing intends a backhanded slap at us in regard to our Napier correspondence. We are aware that the ramifications of the Hawkes' Bay Land Eing exist in Auckland, and that there will be those here prepared to throw discredit on our information derived from Napier. " Nemesis " says, " It is generally believed at Napier that the telegrams sent from that place and published here from time to time with the evident object of preju dicing the people of Auckland against Sir Donald McLean, Mr. Ormond, and other Hawke's Bay Settlers of great re spectability and long-standing have been sent at the instance of the honourable member for Kodney." "Nemesis" hazards the guess, on the safe grounds that the sender of such telegrams as we have received must necessarily sympathise with Mr Sheehan or any other who is actively engaged in letting light in on these nefarious transactions. But so far as we are aware Mr Sheehan has not been in Napier since July last, and is, and has been for some time past, in Wellington attending the Court of Appeal there. At least we are under that impression. Ab to whether from that:place he may be tam pering with our correspondent we cannot tell; but wej incline to think our corresppn: dent—on whose veracity and trustworMinpss we implicitly! rely—irequire'not such "in stance"; enough of the " " instance" hay,ing'' ,been furnished j ;byj ourselves. For we have- told him to supply to ua every well authenticated item of news he can find regarding ' the; ■ 'scqiipd,relism, of' , £h.e : -Land Ring.1 ilf 'Mr Sheehan has 1 given farther instructions we are much obliged jto him, but' his assistance ia'!'n'ot 'necessary.

places. These bandits have had their day, and under shelter of the Vbgel-cutn-Pollen dynasty have debauched and plundered the unfortunate natives of that province to an extent that has called to heaven for ven geance, which is now beginning to descend in the ruin of "settlers of great respectability and long standing " in a province where suc cessful swindling constitutes "great respect ability," and "long standing" has blunted all the moral susceptibilities of man. " Nefctoeßis ;> may rest assured that it does aot require the " instance " of the honorable member for Rodney to keep us or our agents to the mark, or with our eye fixed on Hawke's Bay. We look on that place as the moral cesspit of New Zealand, and its stench is an offence to all honest nostrils. But though the guess of " Nemesis" as io the relation of Mr. John Sheehan to our Hawke's Bay information is simply gratuitous and without a shadow of foundation, we do not hesitate to say that for the pluck and bravery with which Mr. Sheehan has attacked that robber cave, and for his success in dragging the bandits out from the protection of subsidised and per jureel juries into the wholesome atmosphere of J the Appeal Court at Wellington, he deserves the commendation and the hearty thanks of all good men.

The only gentlemen nominated for t office of Mayor of the city were Mr Frederic Lambert Prime and Mr Benjamin Tonks. The election will be held on the 10th Decem ber, at the Mechanics' Institute, between the hours of S and 4 o'clock.

Amon? the passengers of the ill-fated steamer Pacific, of whose loss with all hands but one we have the accounts by this mail, we hear that there was, at least, one gentle man well known in New Zealand. This was Mr John Samuel Webster, traveller for the firm of Messrs Edmondstone and Sellars, merchants of Wellington. This gentleman came up from the South rather over 2 months ago, and took passage to San Francisco in the Maceregor having been staying at the Albert Hotel during her faw days in Auckland. Upin reaching Ran Francisco, he proceeded to Vancouver's Island in the s s. Salvador. He was expected back by the Pacific, and as the name appears among the list of passen gers, it is nearly certain that he is amongst the mi«sing. With regard to this calamity, our shipping reporter, while on board the Macgregor, was informed that a rumour was circulating in San Francisco just previous to the departure of the steamer that almost the whole number of the passengers had been rescued. No authority was given for the

report,

The members of the Auckland Institute will hold their last monthly meeting of the season this evening, at half-past seven o'clock, in the Musenm Buildings. Three papers will be read, the first by George Thome, jun., on the discovery of moa and moa-hunter remains near Whangarei ; the spcond paper by Mr James Stewart will be observations on the evidences of change in the elevation of the Waikato district; and the third by the same gentleman on the introduction of salmon.

The regular monthly communication of the Lodge Ara will be made this evening. The United Men-Sevants' Association meet in the British Hotel.

The following memorandum of juvenile cricketiana has been forwarded to us, with a request for its insertion : —" A match was played in the Domain on Saturday between the Glenburn Cricket Club and the second eleven of the Auckland College and Gram mar School, but owing to bullying and cheating on the part of several members of the Glenburn Cricket Club it was not played out."

We have been requested to remind per forming members of the Auckland Choral Society that the full rehearsal of Gounod's Solemn Mass will commence at 8 o'clock this evening. ..;...."."

The quarterly general meeting of the Auck land Shipwright's Protection Society will be held this evening in the Albert-street Temperance Hall.

The Good Templars had another successful entertainment on Saturday evening in the large room of the Young Men's Christian Association. The room was crowded, and the speeches, songs, and music were pleasing, and to the purpose.

The second of Monsieur O'Kiel and Mr Towle's united entertainment took place on Saturday evening in the City Hall, to the delight of hundreds who had assembled for tke purpose of seeing the performances and calculations and spelling-bee of the iiatel lectual dogs, and the play of instinct and reason. The two interesting panoramas of the Salt Lake and Australian scenery in con nection with the adventures of the first explorer of Queensland were received with applause. After the performance this eve ning a grand gift distribution, including an elegant marble flower stand, worth £3 103, and a tine gilt-framed oleograph, value £2 10s, will take place. Mons.O'Riel's dogs will perform several new feats this evening. The benefit concert in favor of Mrs Church and family will take place this evening in the Lome-street Hall, under tho management of Mr P. Doran. For particulars of the enter tainment we invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement in third page.

The Hobson Company and band will meet at head-quarters, Wellington-street to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, for their monthly inspec tion, and on Thursday evening the well known Hobson Band will meet at the corner of Mr. Dignan's paddock, Wyndham-street, and play a number of musical airs for the benefit of citizens which the band may con tinue once a week through the Summer months.

On the evening of to-morrow, the 7th inst, the annual Soiree of the United Methodist Free Church, corner of Pitt and Vincent streets will be heli. Tea will be provided amply by the ladies and will be on the table at half-past six o'clock. After tea, the Eev G. H. Turner, (chairman) will deliver his parting speech previously to his setting sail for the land of Shakespeare and Locke by the next mail steamer. The meeting will also be addressed by Revs W. Gittos, P. H. Cornford, Wm Tinsley and other ministers and gentlemen. The church choir will as- Bist with choice musical selections.

The Herald's San Francisco correspondent writes that Host Perkins, of the Occidental Hotel, has been married in New York, and will, shortly return to Auckland with his bride. While hunting, Perkins and a friend were bailed in a tree by a grizzly bear, where they remained all night. We have been requested to give insertion to the following testimonial:—" Echo office, Auckland, 23rd November, 1875.

Local industry has deceived an Impetus of no small importance in Onehunga through the terection of a steam biscuit manufactory by Messrs J. Bycroft & Co in connection with their flour mills. The fine two-3toried brick buildings which was built for the purpose alongside the mills having been completed some weeks ago no time was lost in having the oven and machinery put to rights and on Friday last, when the first biscuits were turned out and according to the opinion of competent judges they were every tb|ng that could be desired in quality. The oven is capable of baking about twenty tons of these biscuits in the week. This will give an idea of the extent of the new local business which before long will be the most extensive manu factory of the sort in the Province.

Mail Gossip.

It is generally understood that the Cyphre nes, which left Sydney on the 2lst ultimo, Was to proceed to Kandavu, send on her Sydney passengers by the Vasco de Gama and wait for the Colima, which was to call there on her voyage from San Francisco, and then go on to Sydney ; the Cyphrenes bringing on her passengers and mails for Auckland. Latest advices by the Macgregor make it very doubtful whether this arrangement will be carried out. According to the latest advertisement of the departure of the Colima in San Francisco papers, that vessel was announced to leave "for Honolulu, Auck land, and Sydney," and appended to the advertisement in the Daily Examiner of the 9th of November, appears this paragraph : "Tbe Colima will not call at Kandavu as heretofore advertised, but will go direct to Sydney via Honolulu and Auckland." From this it may be inferred that the Cyphrenes will not connect with the Colima. Mr. Hall only arrived in Sydney on the evening of the 12th November, so that supposing the Colima left San Francisco on the day appointed he could not telegraph any fresh route for her. There was a rumour prevalent on the depar ture of the Macgregor from San Francisco that the Colima would be detained till the 15th but even in that case no telegram from Sydney could reach San Francisco in conse quence of the break down of the cable. Under these circumstances we shall expect to see the Colima signalled before the Cyphrenes. If the former left on, the lOfch she is fully due if on the 15th we may expect to see her about Thursday or Friday next. Among the passengers are Mr Street (land agent) of Dunedin, and Mr Wildbrown of the same city. We must conclude that Mr Hall chartered the Cyphrenes simply to appease the irritation of the Sydney people.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before E,. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.) A STUDY FOR TEMPLABS.

A list of ten drunkards met the gaze of the Resident Magistrate this morning, who were turned off in the following manner. As the persons walked in one after another, they presented a strange gallery of human faces : some swollen, some cut, some dirty, and some bruised, which would have exercised the ingenuity of Dr Carr, and formed a study, framed and glazed, for the edification of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Good Templars. The first, James Connor, an habitual drunk ard, third offence within a few days, 20s and seven days in Mount Eden; Wm. Callaghan, 5s and costs ; Maggie Flanaghan, 5s ; John Driver, alias Whistler, 53 ; John Hunter, drunk and disorderly, 10a; Thomas Griffith, alias Taffy, a boy, second offence, Joa ; John Williams, secondoffence, 10s; William Scott, aged 10, 5a ; and David Piper, a fiddler, 10a and costs. AN OLD TOrER. Edward Whelch was charged with being violently drunk on Saturday, but he was too ill to appear, in consequence of a fortnight's carouse. He forfeited his bail. Mr Whelch, it was understood, had suffered a severe bereavement during the last ten days, and had resorted to the cup as a means of consolation. TURN OFF THE ?TEA_M. George Wells was charged with neglecting to turn off the steam from the Bhip Llewellyn on the 3d inst. Prisoner said he was unfortunately too late, he was unintentionally guilty. C»pt Lodder described the circumstances. His Worship said that prisoner was liaWe to a fine of £3, and ten weeks with hard labour, but as Captain Lodderdid not wish to be hard upon him, the sentence would be one week's imprisonment, and. a fine of £3. A BRACE OF RASCaLS James Hogan, a native of Cork, and Richard Randall, of John O'Groats?, were charged with misbehaving themselves on Saturday evening in Queen-street. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Constable O'Reilly deposed that the prisoners were kicking up a great row on Saturday night outside the Greyhound Hotel.

Sergeant O'Conor saw the prisoners fight ing at the spot referred to by last witness. Joseph Foss deposed that he heard Randall swear that he would fight the besb man in Auckland, he had just paid his shoe-maker, and did not care a he was going in for Mayor, and with this, he gave Hogan a plumper on the nose. . The Court fined Eandall £5 or one month, and discharged Hogan. AX ASSAULT. Ealph Young was charged with assaulting John Downey by striking him on the head with a hammer on the 6fch instant. Mr Broham stated that the prisoner had been lodging with Mr Downey, and without any provocation he committed the assault complained of. He was suffering from an attack of delirium tremens. He would ask for a remand that the prisoner might be seen by Dr Philson. Remanded for a week. THE WAIKATO BABY.* Frederic Farrell failed to appear in answer to a summons charging him with being the father of Isabella Campbell's baby. It was announced that the summons had not been served, and the young man had "bolted." CHARGES AGAINST MR CHRISTOPHER GREEN WAY. Christopher Greenaway appeared in answer to summonses in relation to no less than seven cases, charging him with breaches of No. 6 of the by-laws of the City Council of Auckland, by allowing closets on his properties to over flow to the great annoyance, and danger to the health, of the residents in those districts. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for the City Council, and Mr Laishley for defendant. Mr Russell said that as Mr Green way had promised to remove the nuisances in a week, he would ask that one case might be called on, and the other six adjourned for a week. He would state at the same time for the benefit of the public, that the Council were determined to carry out the sanitary laws to the fullest extent. The charges against Mr Greenway were not brought forward in a spirit of persecution, but in the interest of the public at large, and he hoped that Mr Greenway, who was generally a trouble to the Council in this way, would be made to understand that he would be compelled to observe the laws. i

His Worship said it might also go forth to the publicrthatin allteuch^cases he should feel it to be his duty to inflict the highest penalty allowed i by > law. i ■■<'( The * people 'had already suffered' enough- through fever and pestilence:' '' '" ''".//"',; !>\ i l "l " !", ,■'!' 1 The first 'chargej w.aa thei} read'agaihst; •My 'Greeniway for allowing, a. closet,.on ; his .pre^ mises, i^ .Qookratreet, to .overrun,,, the • same. beiflgin the .occupation, of-Thomas Searle.j Mr Greenway, through his'solicitor, pleaded guilty.•>•-'' '< • -■••:> !i -" ■•■ * ■■'<■■■':■■'- .,;The, -Court imposed< a fine' of'sb, ajnd £5 Is 6d coteta,1 and allowed' tEe other c ( aaes to stand'over for a, week, 'his'"Wbrship ire marking that; had the. casea, been severally gone on' with, he should have, inflicted the higMt penally mjeacl^case-;' Thia was all "the ousmens.

ARRIVAL OF THE MACGREGOR WITH THE English and American Mails.

Our London Letter.

Lois'Dosr, October 21. OUR CORRESPONDENT HOLIDAYING. My letter this month must be of a some what discursive kind, for, to tell you the truth, I have been making holiday, and I tnok the opportunity of the fine weather which came at the end of September and beginning of October to screw up my strength for the coming winter. Thus I have been a little out of ~ the ordinary run of business, which however has not been very brisk in the meantime. My last professional journey was made to Darlington last month, at which town the Railway Jubilee was cele brated with great eclat. Exactly 50 years ago the first passenger train ran on the Stockton and Darlington Railway and the North Eastern Company, part -of whose system this old line forms, thought the event worthy of a regular " wire in " in the festive line. With this view they invited all and sundry the railway directors and great locomotive swells of these Islands together with representatives of chief news papers and a few civic magnates, our Lord Mayor, for instance, to a procession and banquet at Darlington and a subsequent feed. For two days they issued free passes over every portion of their lines to all their guests and shareholders, and generally be haved in a very liberal fashion. Certainly if there be a Company able to afford an expen diture of a good many thousands onwhat was nothing more than "a spree," it is the North Eastern. With a capital of £50,000,000 to work on, a thousand more or less is nothing, and their mileage and the quality of their rolling-stock probably greater and better than those of any other Company in England. Anyhow they did it and did it well. The town of Darlington was a 11 gay and festive scene." Flags and banners lined the streets and covered the houses and were carried by people. Tens of thousands of visitors poured into the town, all the neighbouring iron and other works gave themselves up to the spirit of the hour, and yet I never saw less drunkenness, con sidering the occasion, in my life. The princi pal feature of the affair, to my mind, was the exhibition of locomotive engines, and this was worth going any distance to see. There stood the original old "Puffing Billy "—Stephen son's first engine, a curious old structure in deed, and calculated to pull at least a wheel barrow load of freight. This singular old remnant of a byegone age has long occupied a position of honour on a pedestal of stone near the Darlington station, but for this occasion it had been taken down, furbished up and put in working order. Raised up by means of a couple of jacks, its engines were in full play, and its wheels were revolving at express rate — about four miles an hour. One of its pecu liarities is the arrangement of a large portion of its machinery outside the boiler case giving the whole thing the appearance of an American marine beam engine such as you used to see in those Yankee abortions of Webb'e which delighted the mind of Mr Vogel and his upholders so much a few years ago when the pacific mail route was started. Then it has a tender which probably would carry a quarter of a ton of coal, whilst the accommodation for driver and stoker are simply nil. In juxta position to this moving curiosity was placed a modern express engine whose noble appearance conveyed the im pression of gigantic power and speed. The poor little pioneer looked like a beetle near an elephant and the idea of the contrast was cleverly designed. Every kind of locomotive engine was represented from every part of the kindom a*d there were some magnificentspeci mens of thfi mechanical engineers work and in every branch of railway work, the progress made during tbe fifty years was truly astonishing Such an opportunity for close investigation was not to be missed, and I spent soveral hours in examination of thfi numerous triumphs of skill In the aamo building in which tne engines were exhibited were a complete set of machinery for engine construction; includin? moveable cranes, steam hammers, forges, huuh lathes and so "n. Here could be seen a huge rough disc of iron screwed into a lathe a«d revolving slowly, from which iron shavings half an inch thick were being peeled off its edges by a looking chi-el. Herewere axles getting tes ed and boilers being rivetted. -with all the horrid sounds usually accompanying such operations. Arm even whilst I was looking at ihe latest monster engine, only turned out the previous month from the Great Northern workshops, constructed to run the ' Plying Scotchman" from London to Fdinburgh and warranted ta move a train »t the rate of 70 miles an honr, even at that moment down came from above a pair of huge iron hooks at the end of chains like a ship's cable ;in an instant a couple of men had attached them to boles in the sides of the monster and in thirty seconds this great machice weighing at least thirty five tons was suspended in midair and traversing the length of the building sideways, the operation being performed in order to enable the spectator to judge of the manner in which engines are ordinarily removed from one pait of the shops to another. And then there were processions ana a statue to the late Mr Pease to be unveiled, but these things I did not think worth the risk of the crush to see, and in the evening came the banquet to which some fifteen hundred guests sat down in a huge raatquee Mi George leeman, one of the members for ¥ork, presided, and it must have been a proud moment for him as chairman of the North Eastern Railway Company. George Leeman is a striking instance of what a man can accomplish by his own hard work and absence of " squeamiahneas. His father was a convict and his mother a woman of the town He commenced life shoeless and hatleas, but as a boy obtaiutd a situation in a lawyer's office in York whore he lighted tires and mada himself gener ally useful. His superior ability procured him a situation as copying clerk in due time, and then he began to be deeply useful. These were the days when elections were carried on with much noise and more corruption, and George Leeman was an unscrupulous agent where any dirty work was to be done. He served his articles in the office in which he began life and then was fouad to be invaluable, so much «o that he was taken into paitnershlp. Here the gratitude of certain parliamentary friends made itself felt »nd he got one or two appointments of Value. Thence forward he never stopped, but has been successful as a colliery and ironstone owner, as a lawyer, and finally as a member of parliament. EXPLORATION OP AFRICA.. There has been intelligence from Stanley in Africa, but l conclude that you will have full accounts from the New York Herald, and so refrain from troubling you with them. I may mention that great faith is entertained in Kngland as to the results of Lieutenant Cameron's investigations. Although he makes very little noise about his work, he is right in the heart of the country—probably between Tanganyika and the Albert Nyanza The Koyal Geographical Society anticipate great things on his return. • NEW DEVELOPMENT OF RITUALISM. Rather a startling thine; :in Bitualism his lately come out. The English Independent, a dissenting church paper, publishes an account of a marriage last week in a Dissenting Chapel. The bride was the daughter of Dr Allon. a well-known Independent minister, and the service was conducted in a way which might have satisfied an advanced Ritualist. The ceremony took place in the " church," the bride groom stood before the " altar," and the service was choral, the hymna being taken from the ancient and modern collection. After this there can be no doubt as to the spread of Ritualism. MATTERS POLITICAL. It is perfectly astonishing what efforts are being made by the party out of office to throw discredit unon the existing Government. Opposition politics are certilnlv of a most paltry kind. Kvery little peccadillo on the part of the Government is seized upon and worked up into a formidable froth, and then held up toignomy. It is really a sample of colonial politics as you have them in New Zealand.only worse, for we have no burning question such as you have in the Abolition proposals. The "81avery Circular." of which you have heard by wire, is an instance in point. The stupid blunder of a subordinate occasioned the publication of the thing, but it was seized upon by the agitator* as if it was the entire policy of the Conservative Government, and was the occasion of public meetings, petitions, deputations, and all kinds of nonsense. The Government have preserved* very dignified demeanour, and of course the whole thing will'blow* over.. Indeed I don't know that I should ■'hare mentioned It. were it not that, the American , telegrams somehow give such <a false aspect,,to every thing that it is possible you may fancy the Govern. metit is tottering onithe brink of ruin. y |< ~,.,;,,..,, LOSS;OF XBJG, mNGITAED, »O [ ' >* What 'really 'has beeri-the'worst/ 'thing 'possible fo^, 'the4 credit -of ttie Goyerrurumtj' and- the-Admiralty department in particular,^is'the'Admiralty tainrite on1 the!loss "■' of the Vanguard^H is* quite ■evidenttfcatf' certain officers dismissed have been made the scape goats for their superior*; and the public are not at all • satisfied at the jcphcliwionßArrived at by the Adrhi-' ralty Board. iWotflrigwe'&lberta business, people' generally thin* t|ha> the niwiain a bad way and th-vt our sailors -aim' forgetting tnelt business.

SOUTH SEA LA.JBOTT& TRAFFIC The German Government has Issued the text of a Mil to. regulate . the South Sea labour traffic, wMcn Will, I suppose, tend to put a final stop io kidnapping. It is as follows :— " Whoever shall act Contrary to the regulations established by the Emperor, With thef consent of the Federal Council, prohibiting or restricting toe convey ance in German ships of native labourers from the Polynesian Islands, and the employment of surh labourers of of prisoners in German settlements, will be liable to a fine not exceeding COOO marks or to a term of imprisonment, whether the offence shall have been committed at home or abroad." The bill is accompanied by a. preamble, setting fdtih that in several groups Of the Polynesian Islands—especially the Fiji, Samoan for Navigator Islands), and Tonga (or Friendly) Islands-it his bd'comfi the custom, on account of the aversion of the nntitfe population for agriculture, to import labourers from other Hands, particularly the Solomon, Gilbert, Marshall, and Kllise groups The Europeans settled in those islands, among whom are some Germans, have in terest in obtaining ossistance of the kind, but such grave abuses, bordering very closely in fact uppn a regular slave trade, have ensued, that the British Government has several times taken steps against them. Several years ago the the "British Go vernment asked Germany' to take measures to pl&ce the employment of German ships fojf the transport ot natives in those parts under similar Control to that which England has introduced. The necessity for such legislation having become apparent, it is pro posed that the conditions under which it shall be lawful for German ships to convey such labourers are to be regulated by the Federal Council, and that any contravention thereof shall be punishable by law. In this respect the bill follows the provisions of the penal code against the Slave trade. SIR JULIUS VOGEL IN PRINT. liast month a letter appeared from Mr VogGl in the Times, complaining of the delay In the forwarding to JKn^land of Australian Correspondence when the steamer to Suez is behind contract time, and saving that under such circumstances the letters ought,all to be sent via Brindisi, This brought out rather a happy reply from a "Banker," which we were all glad to see, as the irregularities of the San Francisco route, Mr Vogel's own creation, are almost unbearable. "Banker." referring to Mr Voxel's complaint, wrote : " This in a matter of the smallest importance to the mercantile community, as no business cor respondence is sent by Bonthatnpton except in error But perhaps Mr Vogel can explain the monthly delay which occurs In the mail service which he had a share in arranging—I mean the homeward from Australia and Afew Zealand via San Francisco. With every mail there occutf 3 an unnecessary loss of a day or two in the transit of the Australian portion of the mail between San Francisco and Queenstown or South «mptoa. The mail which was due here on the 17th has not yet arrived, but it might very well have been delivered on tbe morning of the 22nd, as wasthe Hawaiian mail, which was forwarded from Hbnolulu by the Australian mail steamer Month by month I get my letters from Honolulu a day or two before I get ray Australian letters, although all the letters reach San Francisco by the same steamer," Rataer one for his nob, wasn't it? A GLOWING PICTURE OF NEW ZEALAND. The Times' Wellington correspondent has forwarded to his paper a wonderfully glowiDg account of the condition of New Zealand finance. It is to be hoped that the figures presented to the public are reliable. Tbe worst of it is that the margin allowed for " bad tim s," so often recurring in the colonies, is made so small, and it seems rather to be forgotten that althnugh the public income varies, and must vary with the current condition of trade, the national in debtedness must remain a great solid incubus. THE WHTTECHAPKL M r'RDKR. The Whitechapel murder has afforded food for gossio for the past month. The network of evidence which now surrounds the two prisoners is of a most formidable character, and I don't think there can be the faintest doubt of Henry Wainwright's guilt. With regard to the brother there does not appear to be so much certainty as to his being accessor?. Wainwiight, the murderer, ia very cool under it all. eat* and sleeps well, and seems very callous. I suppose when a man has gone through the operation of pistolllrg a ■woman and catting her throat, bury ing her in a cellar, and afterwards digging up ard chopping up her putrid corp»e with a spade and tomahawk, by the light of afarthing dip, it must take something rather big to make an impression on his nerves.

Heavy Storms and Floods.

Thirteen persons perished by floods at Nottingham, and six at Burton on Trent. The rfloods have not subsided. A special telegram from Sheffield says alarming rumors prevail there about floods at Gainsboro, Lin coln County. The Trent overflowed its banks during the night, washing away railways. It is also feared there has been some loss of lives. Between the 14th and 22nd instant fifty-five persons lost their lives by shipwreck on the eastern coast of Scotland. TheJ/orw ing Echo to-day has additional interesting details of the floods. At Sheffield the damage is very serious. The valley of the River Don forms a lake half-2-mile wide and fully fifteen miles long. Many collieries and iron works are flooded, and by reason of their consequent stoppage thousands of men are thrown out of employment. Accounts from the valleys of the Wye, Severn, and Avon state that these rivers hp.ve risen to an -unusual height, whereby great damage has been done. Later reports announce that the floods were par ticularly disastrous at Darlington. In Dur ham the gasworks were flooded and the town left in total darkness. At Kotherham, York shire, one thousand people are thrown out of employment because of the flooded factories. London, October 22.—Later and fuller ac counts of the recent disastrous floods and gales in Scotland are at hand. The brig John and Isabel was totally lost near Stone Haven, on the Scottish Coast. The crew, numbering twelve, perished. Two large ves sels have been lost off Peterhead, in the same vicinity, with all on board. This makes five vessels which have gone down with their crews within a distance of forty miles, which have been reported in the last two days. The race for the Cambridgeshire stakes to day at Newmarket was won by Sutton, Lord Gowran second, and Gray Palmer third.

The British Admiral in the Mediterranean has been instructed to take action relative to the recent attacks upon English merchantmen by Spanish pirates.

It is thought the Government will prose cute the consignees of arms shipped hence to China during the recent negotiations.. Several cargoes are now en route.

The I'oreign Office ha 3 received a telegram I from Minister Wade, dated Shanghai, the 18th instant, in which it is said the guaran tees recently obtained from China by him include the dispatch of a mission to England, bearing an apology for the Yuhban outrage, and a safe conduct to Burmah for the Com missioners of Inquiry. This telegram also confirms the reports previously received, that shipments of ammunition had recently been made from London to China, and that Mr Wade had informed the Foreign Legations that he had insisted on the better observance of treaties regarding taxation and trade. The case of Alexander and William Collie, charged with obtaining money under false pretences came up again at Guildhall. Wil liam Collie appeared. The prosecution stated they were unwilling to proceed in the absence of Alexander Collie, who had absconded, but they trusted they soon would have both defendants arraigned. Case adjourned till Bth December. ONE HUNDRED WORKMEN FATALLY INJURED IN ENGLAND. London, October 16—4 a.m. —One hundred workmen were injured, it is feared fatally, by an overflow of molten metal at the Walsam Iron Works yesterday morning. sTHE BURNING OF THE AURORA. The following telegram appears in a San Francisco paper relative to the burning of bhe Aurora, full particulars of which have been published :—" New Orleans, October 22 : Captain Johnston, of the steamship Royal Standard, from Liverpool, reports that on the 30th September, in latitude 36 deg. 49 mm. north, longitude 31 deg. west, he fell in with the burning wreck of the iron ship Aurora. He boarded the wreck, and found that she had been abandoned. The lower hold was a perfect mass of fire, and burning every thing else that could burn. Fiauiiig itlrripossible to save the wreck, iand dangerous to all around, he scuttled, it/ and way i NEWS!

without any mishaps, for, contrary to \ rp* vious expectations, the usual fields of pact ■ , ice were not visible,- and almost a c' | sheet of water was found. In due time t. 1 expedition reached Carey Island. Capta'r Young anticipated findiug dispatclifiswfjg^: that might have been left by Captain Nares to be taken to the British Admiral, but ia this he was disappointed, as no signs of the Government exploring expedition were fisible. There being nothing further to be done at the Island Captain Young decided at once td go in search of those objects of interest relating to the Franklin expedi tion, which was the important object of the voyage. Despite the packed and floating ice, he partly retraced his track through Baffin's Bay, and entering Lancaster Soiaad, visited Behring's Plane, where the Boss's tender is beached. Thence he sailed through Peel Sound, and, after some explorations, pene trated the north-west passage. He decided upon returning rather than spend the winter on inhospitable shores* or in a no more hos pitable sea. The Pandora left Ranquette Island on September 7 th. The return jour ney was fully as difficult, as the ice was rapidly forming, and the passage of the Pan dora was a constant series of exciting scenes and narrow escapes from the moving ice' floes. $he finally escaped through Feel Straits. The ice was still rapidly forming and accumulating. The steamer reached Carey Island in safety. There Captain Young found the long-looked for despatches from Captain Nares for the British Admi ralty. These he brought home. Captain Young reports that from the prevalence oS tbe north wind there is abundant promises that Captain Nare's expedition will prove successful. Should the expectations of th& Pandora's commander be verified Captain' Nares will proceed to the highest latitude possible for arctic' vessels to reach. All on board the Pandora are well. THREE GRAVES OF SIR JOllff TRANKXIN's MEN. London, October 18—5 a.m,—The JMo this morning announces that the Pandora returned because' when at Peel Sound, within twenty miles of Kifig William Island, sheen countered an interminable ice, and it was feared she would be frozen in. Those on board the Pandora discovered the graves of three o§ Sir John Franklin's men on Bear Island. NEWS FROM STANLEY. THE AFRKTAH EXPLORER. New York, October 11.—A letter from- Henry Stanley, explorer, dated Victoria- Nyanza, Africa, March 1, 1875, is published to-day, giving a highly interesting account of bis 103 days journey across the wilds of the African interior during his journey from Bagamogagl At Kagohahi some of the party died, some from fatigue, famine, dysentery and fever, while a number had to be left at Urino, in the interior of Suna. Tbe people are noted for their manly forms and are en tirely naked. Pocock, a young English ex plorer, died at Chiwyn. Five of the party died after four days march. Severs? Jghts occurred with wild tribes, in which botti sMes> suffered. The natives of Natura fongh& * three days battle against the explorers; Stanley lost 21 men and the natives 35. Altogether, With wars, famine and disease, he had lost 125 men, all Africans, except Pocock. New York, November 9.—The EeraMs London special states that letters hare- just? been received from Henry M. Stanley wMcb are exceedingly interesting. They are datefl Ulagalla, in Uganda, and give an elaborate and picturesque account of the continuation and conclusion of his examination of the Victoria Nyanda. They confirm Speke's view that the Great Lake is one large body of water, and not a series of small Jakes, aa held by Dr. Livingstone. Stanley's observa tions and reports on this point of African geography are to be made the subject of dis cussion before the Royal Geographical Society the 15th instant.

ENGLAND'S EXPERIMENTS IN MAM MOTH GUNS.

The Boston Traveller of October sth says: " The mammoth guns with which England is. experimenting are not inappropriately termed ' peace-makers,' since it is difficult to see how nation will contend with nation when either is possessed of so terrible wea pons. A series of experiments recently made with the 81-ton gun proved the terrible character of the ' Woolwich Infant.' With 170 pounds of powder the gun drove a shot weighing with the gas-check 1,273 pounds 45 feet into a sandbaDki.^oo feet distant. This gun is intended for the Inflexible, which is to carry four of these weapons, the second of which is now constructing. A prominent engineer has said that before long England will possess a 160-ton gun firing a one-ton shot, which at ene mile range can tear the strongest ironclad all to pieces." Two hundred dwellings, a synagogue and five schools in Widsy, .Russian Poland, have been burned. Some persons perished and 3,000 persons are homeless. Havre, October 20.—A telegram has been received here from Valparaiso, announcing that a terrible fire has taken place atlqnique, Peru. Three-quarters of the town are said to have been destroyed. The work of sinking a shaft 100 metres deep will be begun next week near Calais. This will be the preliminary operation npon the Channel Tunnel. It is rumoured that the Sublime Porte has offered Hon W m . E. Gladstone fifty thousand pounds sterling yearly to establish a sonnd financial administration in Turkey. The statement is denied by Mr. Gladstone. Advices received in London announce that the Dutch ship William Podman, from New castle June 3rd for Portland, Oregon, has I been totally destroyed by fire at sea. Ihe crew were saved, and have arrived at Padang. The French ironclad Magento has been destroyed by fire. ~ Mrs Black, the original of Byron's "Maid of Athens," died in Greece lately, aged 7k The King and Queen of Denmark and Prin cess Thyra will visit England shortly. The London Times estimates that AIU sailors and others were drowned in the North Sea dnring the gales of the past three weefea.
