LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

THE FOUNDERING OF THE PRETTY JANE.

FULL PARTICULARS.

NAPIER.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day.

By th_ arrival of the Southern Cross from Poverty Bay we have obtained fuller parti culars relating to the Pretty Jane. The ve__el was in charge of Pilot Kennedy, who had secured the assistance of two natives who professed a knowledge of the bar across the mouth of Big Biver. On taking the bar the natives thought there should be eight or nine feet water, but the steamer struck, swinging broadside to wind, and the tide drifted her past the proper channel. The Bitot then dropped anchor to prevent her drifting on the beach, but the vessel would not answer her helm, and drifted on to her anchor, which forced a hole in a plate four feet below the waterline. Twenty minutes after the accident there were five feet of water in the hold, and the engine fires were extinguished. The vessel continued to drift before the wind, and continued till she ieached a point in the beach about a quarter of a mile south of the river's mouth. Every effort was made to plug the hole, but the fluke of the anchor remained fast in the aperture defying all attempts to extricate it. On Sunday night seas broke over her and buried her in sand. Mr. Lodder, manager of the AS.P. Company, accompanied by several boiler-makers, proceeded to the scene and intend remaining till the return of the Southern Cross. Hopes are entertained of saving her. She is insured for £5000. Hudson, ship, from London. Arrived: Hudson, from London, 85 days from land to land. She brings 246 immi grants, all well. There was one death, an infant, and two births during the voyage, and one case of consumption. She also brings numbers of insectiverous birds, all landed in good condition. Petroleum Works. The shaft of the Poverty Bay Petroleum Company's oil mill is now down 100 feet. Rock is not yet reached. Sinking, is very tedious owing to foul air. Oil still oozes from the bottom of the shaft.

Several applications for the office of Napier Town Clerk have been sent in. There is a good deal of grumbling on the part of the public at the high salary offered.

THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE.—MEETING AT NEWMARKET.

The discnssion on the Slaughter-house Bite which took plane at .Newmarket last night, attracted a large and respectable assembly, D. M. Luckie Esq , M. H.R., in the chair, who opened the proceedings by stating the great; interest he felt in the subject before the meeting, and his desire to see the slaughter house erected on the site which would prove most suitab'e, and give general satisfaction. He called on Mr Witheford to explain the position of the meeting.—Mr Witheford said it was stated by several leading tradesmen in the meat line—that the last meeting was one sided and had excluded their fraternity. On hearing this remarked it was explained to them that the object of the last meeting held, was solely to urge on the immediate erection of a proper slaughterhouse, in a proper posi tion, in lieu of the existing one, which has, for many years receivedthe unitedconndemhation of the Government, the Press, the Butchers and of residents here. At this stage tho Onehunga site was not discovered ; much less was it purchased, or the present meeting would not have been announced. After the Executive had made known their ultimate decision it was still thought advisable to hold the meeting and give all parties as opportunity of explaining their views. An Mr Tonks had given so much of his time and had shewn so much anxiety to decide for the best the lease they could do was to thank him for his prompt attention to their desires in the matter. —Mr Enoch Wood expressed disapproval of the site chosen on account of its great distance from Auckland and the markets. It was also too low, and surrounded by mud flats, upon which the decomposed matter would lie and prove a great nuisance. The fact of its being rear tidal water he contended was prejudicial rather than beneficial to the meat, as every one knew meat kept near the water went bad sooner than if it was upon an elevation of land. He wished to know in the event 'of the slaughterhouse being at Onehunga and he fell short .of meat after obtaining his ordinary supply — would they put on a special train, or provide him with a carriage to obtain an extra quantity of the same ? He thought it impossible to provide sufficient trains to supply the varied wants of tradesmen in Auckland, while the best facilities which could be offered them would entail heavier expenses on their already too heavy fees and general outlay. He moved; '' That, in the opinion of the butchers pre sent at this meeting, the proposed site for the slaughterhouse near Onehunga, is because of its distance from the Auckland market, to tally unsuited to the requirements of the trade."—Mr. Walker seconded the motion. Mr. Tonks, in answer to the question,— " Would he guarantee the delivery of cattle from the sale yards to Onehunga on the day of sale ?" would do so in an Irish way —namely by, asking another : " Had they any such gu?rantee of arrival to the present slaughterhouse. He considered the distance from the present sale-yard to Onehunga a. little further than the distance to New market—Mr Maxwell wished to know if private slaughterhouses would be shut, and the proprietors compelled to kill at One hunga, in order to place all butchers on a level footing. —Mr Tonks was not prepared to answer the question.— Mr Dornwell considered Mr Maxwell to be imitating the dog in the manger ; because he had not a private slaughterhouse he wanted no one else to have one.—Mr Max well thought it a very important point with regard to butchers' interests, to be put on the same footing with Mr Dornwell. (Mr Dornwell : Never be personal, sir, (Mr. Kilgour : its quite right.)—Mr Maxwell con tinued :He paid £80—to Mr Dornwell £50. He would allude to the fact that heavy taxation led to smuggling; too heavy charges on butchers for slaughtering would lead to killing being done in Auckland. Then, in stead of having one little stink at New market, they would have a great number of little stinks all over the town. (Laughter.) —A discussion here ensued as to the reading of the Act on the license for private slaughtering, which latter the chairman pointed out might be annulled shortly.— Mr Wood, of Parnell, wished to know what caused the hubbub over the present slaugh terhouse but the impecuniosity of the Government in times gone by, in not putting up substantial and suitable public establish ments. He said the effect of the present slaughterhouse on Newmarket was similar to the effect of a night commode left in a room, very unpleasant effluvia resulted. If a good concrete slaughterhouse were built, with a pressure of water from Seccombe's, and afterwards from the town reservoir, at the top of Kyber Pass Road—he considered " Meurant's hill" to be the site, in which even the neighbourhood would acquiesce, were a place such as he described built, it would be an ornament to Newmarket. He therefore begged to move that the site on the railway be respectfully recommended.— Mr King stated his intention never to have the slaughterhouse over there, as there would never be a sufficient supply of water con ducted to the place. He would remind the people that the district round Newmarket was getting more thickly populated, and this year contagious disease had appeared in Auckland. (Voice: Good for chemists.) The land had been bought at Onehunga. (Voice : But not paid for.) He threatened that if the Provincial Council wavered in the matter .the General Government would be petitioned.—Mr Wood, senior, thought some of the speakers showed a lack of knowledge. No slaughterhouse could be kept clean without a force of water. (Voice : I con tradict you). With respect to carriage by rail, would the Government guarantee a satisfactory supply. (Voice : One sheep a day).—Mr W. Hunter wished to know where were the well-watered paddocks to drive herds of cattle into at Onehunga. He did not know. Mr Buckland, with himself, had been invited to confer with the Government on a previous occasion, and." had recommended the Newmarket site. .To this the members of the Govern ment turned their backs and went to St. Ann's Bridge. Since then they had turned against St. Ann's Bridge and gone to One hunga, which was five times the present distance.—Mr. Rayness thought butchers should have had a voice in.the site question. —Mr. King rose to reply to Mr. Hunter, and said he had seen paddocks at St. Ann's Bridge and at Onehunga, and that Govern ment should move the sale yards. (A number of men who crowded the doorway here ex pressed dissent.) Mr. King was called to order by the chair, and told to Bit down by the meeting.—A series of cross-questioning prevailed for a time, which was stopped by the Chairman, who invited the -opinion of those who had not had their say.—Cries of " Kilgoui " and " Jenkins. "~ Mr.. Wood thought no good would come of the meeting, as the butchers who talked so eloquently and largely at the sale-yards how stood as dumb, as dogs. (Laughter.)—Mr.. Beeves wished to know who was to have the Care of the meat at Onehunga and charge of its safe and careful delivery to shops in town, and thought' by the time it was put into their own carts it weuld often be fit only to be borne off to the pigs.—Mr Tonks rising, said so many questions were aimed at him he felt as uncomfortable as if he were about to have an attack of the measles. (Laughter.) He took all responsibility as to the purchase of the Bite, and was prepared to face any public meeting at any time and explain his conduct in the matter.' Mr Tonks at lengqh repeated the reasons for the choice of. the Onehunga site, as preTiovsly read In the papers. Mr. Kaynes enquired : why had the butchers not been consulted.-^-Mr Tonks: Because it would have: placed me in the position of the old man and his ass.—Mr Jenkins moved as an amendment to Mr E.Woods resolution, that the meeting approve of th. site selected for a slaughterhouse at Onehunga, seconded by Mr MoCell,— Amendment pat Mid lo»t,

resolution "carried.—-Mr Caleb Wood's _esollif tion was put favouring Meurant's site," and seconded by Mr Stinson and carried.—-Mr Caleb Wood moved that the building of, hew slaughterhouse be deferred till after the; next session of the Provincial Council, Mr Kilgour seconded the motion which was carried.—A vote of thanks was accorded the chairman, and the meeting dispersed. The greatest good temper having prevailed throughout, the chairman seldom having to interfere.

CRICKET MATCH.

WANDERERS V. WANGAREITES.

Per Star Carrier Pigeon

[From Our Special Correspondent.]

Wang abet, Thursday, noon,

The Wangareiees commenced their inn ings after lunch yesterday. Tne batting generally was far superior to our expecta tion. With the exception of the two last men, the team was composed of good average men. Whitelaw and Simcox went in first, and made a good stand. Bees and Buckland opened the bowling, but our fielding was not equal to Bees' bowling, a couple of chances being missed at point. Whitelaw after scoring 12, was very cleverly caught at mid-on by White off Bees, T. Henry fol lowed but was run out during his first over. Mason who took the vacant wicket played a most patient innings for eight, he . was io fully an hour. T. Seccombe was well caught at point by Thome off Bees for 0. McMurdo let go the painter at Bees, and drove him for four which he tried to repeat but Willi3 at the wickets gave Mac his quietus. W. Seccombe played a steady innings for eleven, when bwanson levelled his timber-yard. J. Henry and Ashby made a long stand, and the excitement was great with the country folk as their score approached ours. Every hit was vociff rously cheered. The more Bees adjured his men to be steady the worse they got, and one ball before Buckland bowled the last' wicket, Thorne let the ball go for 3 byes, which placed the Wangareites one run ahead of us on.the first innings. Buck land bowled splendidly. , In the evening all the villagers assembled at^the hotel, and were most jubilant over the day's doings. We were challenged at all sorts of alfresco games. Mr Macßraggadaccio, or a person of some such Italian name, was perfectly irrepressible, but the ball was kept rolling with the best good will, and neither team was the worse for the exchange of funnyisms. They give us a ball and a dinner to-night, and in the morning we start for Parua Bay to play a match. We return by the Bowena on Friday evening. The following are the scores of the Wangareites :— Simcox, b Buckland ... ... 9 Whiteiaw, c White, b Bees ... 12 T. Henry, run out ... ... 1 Mason, b Buckland 8 T. Secombe, c Thorne, b Bees ... 0 McMurdo, c Willis, b Bees. ... 5 W. Secqrnbe, b Swanson ... ... 11 T. Henry, not out ... ... ... 6 Ashley, c Bees, b Buckland ... 6 Dunning, b bwanson 2 T. F.
