LILLY WHITE'S ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN.

A ccnuniNG to latest Australian advices, the doubt which existed on the subject of an English team visiting Australia this next season has been cleared up, and the arrange ments have been completed, and the terms settled, upon which Mr Lillywhite will briDg his eleven to Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne. The following letter from Mr J. H. Bennett, of Melbourne, Lillywhite'a agent, to Mr F. R. Burton, the secretary of the South Australian Cricketing Association, explains the conditions,upon which the eleven will nlay at Adelaide, and also the date—"Sir, — Having received power of attorney, and the necessary documents empowering mo to make arrangements on behalf of the All-England Eleven in Australia, I be<» to state that I am prepared to sccept the offer you made to Mr Con way, who was and is co-agent in the matter with me ; that ia to say, you are to hand over to the Eleven two-thirds of the gross proceeds—sale of booths to be con sidered part of gross proceeds—you to pay all match, but none of the personal expenses of the Eleven, &nd you to have the right of en tvoa free of charge to the ground for 300 members of your Association, but not to be allowed to introduce the ladies free. The other clauses with reference to more than 800 members availing themselves of the privileges I also concur in. The match is to be a three days match against twenty-two ; prices of admission, 23 to the ground and 2s extra to the reserves. The date of the match will be within seven days of the arrival of tho Eleven at Glenelg, which it is expected will be about November 12th. Trusting you will have a good wicket upon which the English can give an exhibition of their skill, I remain, Yours etc,—J. H. Bennett." It is understood that the first and second matches in Victoria will be played on the East Mel bourne Cricket Club around, which^hasjbeen greatly improved, and will accommodate 20,000 spectators. The first match will be played on Boxing Day and the two following days.

UNITED FREE TEMPLARS.

At t.he melting of the Ordor In Onohunga on Wed nesday, Mr Cox delivered the following address on the oMocts of the Order:—"The TTnited Order of Free Templars is not the result of any antagonistic feelings to the various orders alieady in exiatenco, although it is a secession from Good Templars, th.ongh the various abuses which that order had, and ntill ieta:.ns. The Constitution of the Order was framed from suggestions from every part of Englar.d «n<l the British isles. Our principles ara—A. life-1-mir pledge ; allowing Lodges freedom of action suitable to their localities, times, and circumstances, Basis : No benefits of a pecuniary character ; no salaries paid to officers. Object: To do good from moral and philanthrophlo motives in extending the principles of total abstinence, raising the fallen and degraded drunka'ds. and preventing others from falling victims to intemperance and vice. The means to accomplish so desirable and God-like a purpose will be to encourage lectures, the diffusion of tem pfirance literature rending of essays, directing it 3 m mbers in aidirg existing temperance societies. Members are initiated on the folio-wing conditions :— 2s Gr? Initiation fee; contributions males,ls6d; females, and all under IS years ; Good Templars may bfl ad mitted by signing the Constitution and paying their quarterly subscription Tho Constitution Is revised, and the followingaiterations made : Sperial and Lodge Deputies discontinued : the National Lodge to appoint an rjistituting a"d Visiting Officer in tbeir own Dis tricts ; the only piy allowed for Instituting Lodges will ba reasonable travelling expenses; the Charter and reiuisite.i not to exceed £112a 63 ; tho National Lod^p may grant an Instituting Commission to any member of the Order residing in a district where there is no Lodge belonging to the Order; National Lodt;e to receive no Tax from Subordinate Lodges; the. National Lodfre Executive to consist of allj the National Lodge Officers. The Order is a Colonial organization, free from 'Americjn bias; all its ar rangements, from first to last are in harmocy with colonial tastes, and modes of thought, and if at any time there should arise a necessity for constitutional' or other amendments, we are not obliged to cross the Pacific for permission to act In the matter of abstinence and prohibition we enjoin on-operatinn, and. if thought desirable, affiliation with nsrnncies, having for their object the accomplish ment of the same groat work ; we do not aim at the overthrow or hbsorption of oiher reformatory insti tutions Whilst we may be permitted to think highly of our Order in the hands of the Supreme, by which He is accomplishing the purpose of Hia lore, wa nevertheless desire not to think more highly of it than wo ouaht to tUink. Our officers do not dispw ae> the labours of the men who hive gone before them into the Temperance field, nor is it any part of our programme to repudiate the self-denying eiertions of those who decline to pronounce the Shibboleth of oaste. If there is a Temperance Society in the town, we say support it all you can, attend its meetings, encourage its officers, and assist its funds. If there i 3 a B<\nd of Hone we commend it to the kindly con sideration of the Lodges. We never counsel the for mation of a rival band If there is an Auxiliary to the TTnited Kincdom Alliance, we rally round itt fUft, and it is a bright feature in the history of our Order that all its leading men are to be found identi fied with every Order of Temperance. And why ? Because instead of issuing an Order in Council prohibiting affiliation with other Temperance Associations, we strongly recom mend fraternal co-operation wikh every other branch of temperance. I must say in conclusion that Good Templarism has done good in some lodges, where charity wa3 properly exerci»ed ; but I am convinced that, had the same lodges been working under our Constitution, ten times the amount of good would have been the result. A nobler or more moral object than that contemplated by our Order never called true men and women together In council; and, with God's blessiDg, it will be the means of making thousands of drunkards' homes happy by bringing them into our lodges. Our principles and policy are making rapid progress in all parts of the colony. Our friends of the Order have only to be steadfast, im moveable, depending on the Lord for strength and His blessing on their efforts, and a glorious success will bo the happy result."

PARLIAMENTARY.

[From our Special Correspondent]

The Epsom Murderer. Last night a long and interesting debate arose unexpectedly on the motion of Sir George Grey for the production of corres pondence relative to the attempted capture of Winiata. la moving it, he made a state ment of the circumstances, as a rumour was current in Auckland, and expressed his feel ing of shame that the Native Minister should have met and treated with the King^ and never demanded the surrender of Winiata; and also that he should have supplicated for interviews with Tawhiao for the Governor, and given the King a chance to refuse the favour.

This brought out Sir Donald McLean, who made a long speech, demanding gratitudefor services rendered to the country, and saying, if they had not got confidence in him he would retire. He also attacked Sir George Grey bitterly, charging him with intriguing with the natives disloyally, and using his influence to frustrate the proceedings of the Government.

He was followed by Mr Stout, who pointed out that he had not answered the charges made, and that mere denonnciation was no argument. Major Atkinson then took up the cudgel for McLean, and in one of bis violent and ill-judged speeches, declared that it was no part of McLean's duty to demand the sur-. render of the murderers, because, if he could once get the king to consent to terms, we could afterwards catch and hang any murder ers we liked, there being no longer an organ ised power to protect them. Mr Moorhouse followed Still the adjourn ment, talking about nothing in particular,; except trying to sneer at Sir George Grey. He is very unsuccessful as a speaker, and has no influence with the House, but seems generally used to fill up gaps for the Govern ment. WATERWORKS AMENDMENT BILL. After the adjournment the House disposed of a short bill to enable some Wellington

reserves to be dealt with, and Mr Lusk in troduced the second reading of the Auckland Waterworks Act Amendment Bill in a short speech explaining its objects and the security proposed to be offered. It was read a second time without opposition, and ordered to be committed on Wednesday next. Other bills on the Order paper were postponed, as they were either not printed, or required Sir Julius Vogel to move the second reading which, as he had a ball at his house, he could not do. The House then returned to the debate on native _ matters, when Mr Wakefield, of Geraldine, made a telling speech, in which he showed that in 1869 Sir Donald McLean was dismissed from the office of Government A gent on the East Coast for the very offence of tampering disloyally with the natives, of which he accused Sir George Grey now. Mr Reid, of Taieri, followfd in a vigorous speech, in which he attributed the success of the Native Minister, such as it was, to the money he had been allowed to squander without control or responsibility amongst the natives. Mr Russell, of Napier, followed in a maiden speech, in which he lauded Sir D. McLean, and declared he had been put in power to obtain peace at any price. Had he done it ? He knew that Sir Donald McLean deserves the gratitude of the Hawkes Bay settlers. Mr Luak did not Jispute that"he might bave earned the gratitnde of Hawkes Bay, but not of the colony at large, nor of the native roce. He pointed out that the ends of the boasted policy of flour and sugar was not yet, and that the future might, and probably would, let a different light on the administration of the Native Minister and its results. He made a few remarks concerning letting Winiata treat the King Country as a city of refuge. Mr R. Wood, in a brief speech, congratu lated the House on the most refreshing debate on native affairs he had heard for years. Sir George Grey in reply refuted utterly all Sir Donald McLean had said about himself. He read the correspondence between himself and natives shewing his punctilious loyalty to the Government in the transactions, and concluded a calm but most impressive speech amidst general applause. The effect was decidedly damaging to McLenn, and thence to the Government. The other business was quite unimportant consisting of motives for committees and one little Otago free fight about the dismissal of the returning officer of Dunedin, who declined to say, Mr Reynolds had the shew of hands at the nomination. NATIVE LANDS COURTS TO BE ABOLISHED. It is said that the Government propose to do away with Native Lands Courts and, re sume pre-emptive purchase of lands. This is hinted at in the budget , speeoh, and borne out by the fact that the whole estab lishment has disappeared from the estimates of this year, except the Chief Judge, also District Judge of Auckland and one clerk.

FUNERAL OF MR. W. C. WILSON.

The wide-spread respect which was enter tained for the late Mr. W. C. Wilson was mani fested to-day in a striking way at his funeral. Almost every shop in town was partially closed during the morning, the flags on the shipping and on the public and other buildings were at half-mast throughout the day, and, as the time appointed for the departure of the funeral cortege (three o'clock) approached, the signs of mourning became more prominent. A large proportion of the shops were closed altogether; the Bank of New Zealand and the New Zealand Insurance Offices suspended business and shut their doors ; several other public institutions followed their example, and altogether the city wore an aspect which told plainly that a prominent citizen had gone to his long rest. About half-past two o'clock the top of Shortland-street presented a busy scene from the assembling crowd and mourners' carriages. The management of -the procession was en trusted, to Mr Burns and Mr Halyday, who made all the arrangements, and furnished the hearse and mourning carriages. Everything was done inabecoming and orderly manner, and the funeral reflected great credit on the under takers. Before the funeral started a large number of __the personal friends of the deceased were ad mitted to take a last look at their departed friend's face. It was observed that the features were quite unaltered and were as composed cs in sleep. Very unfortunately a drenching shower fell just as the procession was being formed, and lasted for fully ten minutes. The route taken was via Princes - street, Waterloo Quadrant, and Symonds-street, Immediately following the hearse, which was decorated with feathers and drawn by four horses, came nine mourners' carriages. Then walked in procession nearly 500 citizens all decently dressed. After these came about 25 private carriages, and the cortege was closed by a large crowd of the general public. The burial took place in the Wesleyan cemetery. Nearly every body and private firm in the city was represented, but the late hour at which the funeral took place prevents us from giving more than an incomplete description. '. The following were the gentlemen conveyed by the mourning coaches :— No. I.—Mr W. S. Wilson Mr J. L. Wilson Mr W. McDowell Mr M. Somerville No. 3. —Mr James Wiseman ','. Mr J. Wiseman, sen. Mr R. Laishley Rev. T. Buddie No., 3.—Mr R. Skee'n Mr Martyn Master Harry Wilson Master Walter Somerville Master John Wiseman No. 4.—Messrs. Berry, Main,. Street, W. Buttle, Kinsella (New Zealand Herald).

(From our own correspondent.) This day. Native Riot. The Moatipakiao resurrectionistic farce ended yesterday in a drunk. The pro prietor of the Telegraph Hotel closed his hotel early in the evening, about eight o'clock. A body of natives headed by the sons of some of the leading chiefs of Pikiao, attacked the hotel, smashing in the window sashes and doing bodily harm to the land lord and seveial lodgers. Te Pokiao and Waata te Taranua were on the spot, but seemed powerless to quell the riot. The drunken mob of Native Office pets were dispersed about eleven o'clock.

THE LADY FRANKLIN ASHORE.

0 prATN Lawrib the Harbour Master and pilot in the Kaipara arrivod to-day in town and reports that the barque Lady Franklin went ashore on the north side of the entrance to the harbour about two miles inside the headß. It will be remembered by our readers that the vessel left this port in ballast about a month ago to load timber at Te Koporu for Adelaide. She crossed the Kaipara bar on Friday last after a tedious passage. The weather was very thick and dirty at the timo of her entering, and a strong gale fiom the S.W. came on after ehe had anchored to report at the Cutom-house. During Saturday night she had one anchor down, with 75 fathoms of chain paid out. This broke soon after mid night, and before the vessel's course could be arrested by the secoDd anchor, she drifted on a bank towards the Otamatea river. Efforts have been made to get her off, but up to the present without success. The vessei is insured in Melbourne, where she is owned by Messrs Lord and Hughes. Captain Lowric gives it as his opinion that unless the wind comes in strong from the S.W. there will be no difficulty in getting tho ship off. ■ '•

Accident at Motutapu.

At ten o'clock this morning an accident happened to Mr T. T. Diekenson, undertaker, of Victorla-atreefc. Mr Diokenaon was en gaged in the building of a house on the island of Motutapu, and as ho was standing on .a portion of the scaffold withMr Maude the board suddenly snap ped,?and the twomen were at once precipit tated to the ground, a distance of about Bix feet. Mr Maude arose unhurt, but Mr Diekenson was not so successful, as on attempting to regain his footing, he found that his leg was broken just above the ankle. As medical assistance could not be obtained on the island, the unfortunate man was carried to a boat, the "Surprise," belonging to a fisherman named Joseph Cope, who brought Mr Diekenson to Auokland wharf, from whence he was conveyed to his resi dence in Victoria-street;, in Doran's express- Dr. Stockwell was immediately sent for, and without delay, attended and set the bone. Mr Diekenson is doing as, well as can be ex pected.

The new church' at Mahurangi will be opened by the Rev. D. Bruce and Eev. B. McKinney on Sunday next. In order to enable friends from town to gratify their desire to be present at the inaugural services and soiree Captain Casey has kindly arranged that the Minnie Casey shall leave Mahu rangi for Auckland late on Monday night. Leaving town by the eleven o'clock boat to-morrow morning visitors may stay, over the soiree and yet be back in time to resume business on Tuesday. Asfootball match will be played to-morrow at Elleralie between tha Grafton and Parnell The team of the former will consist of that published iv last Friday's Star to oppose the Auskland Club, and will be captained by Mr Whewell. The Grgfton players will leave for Ellerslie by the 2 o'clock train. The return match between the Ponsonby and Auckland Football Clubs will take place to-morrow afternoon on the Symonds-street ground, play to commence at 3 o'clock. The Ponsonby team will be W. Jones, Herries, Yates, Haultain, Kerr, O'Sullivan, Harvey, F. Jones, Eeece, Bravewater, F. Mackey, Wright, Dunnett, Tookey and Hanna.

Swanaon, Burgess, Whitaker, Mowbray, Sharland, Philson, Purchase, and Euasell. The Board of Education yesterday sanc tioned a salary of £80 per annum for Miss Jerrom, assistant teacher of Grafton Eoad school. The tender of Messrs Leigh Brothers of Vincent-street for improvements and ad ditions to the school room of All Saints, Pon sonby, has been accepted by the church committee; a two story building, likewise the post office and two other houses all within close proximity of the Hotel, all of whiob. are under the superintendence of Mr Ham mond are now being pushed forward and tend to add considerably to the development of this important part of the suburb. Young meH, in over-heated and poorly . ventilated theatres, ought not to flourish their horribly perfumed handkerchiefs so constantly, even if they are of colored silk. What does Cowpersay—' I cannot talk with civit in the room, a fine puss gentleman that's all perfume.' The terrible fatality of diptheria has been exemplified at Mangere, where Mr John Wallace has lost three of his family within the last fortnight, and two of the children of Mr James Robertson, Jan., have fallen victims during the past few days.
