DISPUTES ABOUT RITUALISM.

In two ways the Ritualists and their doings have come prominently before the world in the last few days. There has been a corres pondence in the Times between a well-known Ritualistic nobleman, Lord Nelson, and Father Bowden, of the Brompton Oratory, on the conversion of his lordship's son to the Roman Catholic faith. Lord Nelson accuses Father Bowden of having secretly under mined and secretly received his son. Father Bowden replies that young Mr Nelson's Pro testant faith had been effectually destroyed before he (Mr Nelson) came to iiim, by the high Anglican spiritual advisees to whom Lord Nelson recommended v A is son. TAs re gards the charge of secrecy, Father Bowden says that the requester*. Mr Nelson to com municate with his fc'Juer, that hiß son de clined, and that dßa pr ie S t, be (Father Bowden) was bor^a to obey God rather than man. General]^ jt may fe e sa id that the only discrepancy between the accounts of Father Ro tV( }en aD( i L Of( j Nelson is easily ac counted J or by the natural fact that the formf^,. takes the priestly and the latter the Pa\ental view. It is an unfortunate corres pondence, so far as Ritualism is concerned, for Lord Nelson to have engaged in, for it shows conclusively that the Ritualistic clergy employ the rites and inculcate the same doc trines as the Catholic priests. That being the case, Lord Nelson can scarcely complain if his soh has the honesty to prefer the JSoman original to the Anglicon sham.

The other Eituallstic case eDgaged the attention of the House of Commons on Tuesday night, July 11th. The facts are these .-—The Rev Mr Penny, chaplain on board H.M.S. London, beloßged, as Mr Evelyn ABh ley, who brought the matter before the House, said, "to the highest order of priestcraft." The go!d crosses on his stole, his genuflexions, his chantings, and his ultra-sacerdotalism offended the Protestant spirit of the commanding officer, Captain BulJivan ■who requested the clergyman to discontinue the usages. Hr Penny declined. Captain BUli van resented the refusal. Much unpleasantness onsued The correspondence was laid before the .Admiralty Lordj, who, while not exonerating Mr. ''Penny, declared that Captain Bulivan had not acted with that consideration and judgment which is expect ed from thejcaptain of one of Her Majesty's|shJps. and deprived him of his command. It was the object of Mr. Evelyn Ashley's resolution, which was lost by 103 to 91, to csnßure the Admiralty and reinstate Cap Sain Sulivan. Captain Sulivan, as a zealous Nouconform ist, undoubtedly went too far. but nothing can excuse the folly of the chaplain.— aome Nev;3.

AMERICAN NEWS.

HORRORS OF THE SEA,

FRIGHTFUL SUFFERINGS OF A JAPANESE CREW.—THE SALTED DEAD.

The Emma Utter has arrived at San Fran cisco, bringing a statement made by Captain Nelson, master of the British barque Abbey Cowper, which described an encounter he had with a phantom ship on the 3rd of July. He says that on that day he was in latitude 37° 10' north, longtitude 167° 35' east, with light winds, when a hulk was discovered drifting in a south-easterly direction, dis masted, and with signals flying. He bore down upon her, and an officer was sent on board, who found that she was the Japanese junk Coke Cuman, bound from Hakadde to Yokohama, and that she had left the former port on the 9th of November, 1875. Her crew formerly consisted of twelve men, but two of whom were alive. They were removed to the Abbey Cowper, and everything pos sible was done for them. One of the men was entirely helpless, being nearly DEAD WITH THE SCURVY, while his companion, although not so bad, was still in a deplorable condition, and was barely able to climb aboard. The wretched men had been drifting more dead than alive for sis months, and as one by one their companions had succumbed to that fearful disease, the scurvy, they had been salted and stowed away ih the hold which emitted a horrible stench. At the time they were found they had been without the means of making a fire for some time, having used everything that was available for that pur pose long before, and were sustaining an existence with nothing but dry rice and what fish they caught. THEIR SUPPLY OF WATER had been exhausted long ago, and they were obliged to depend upon what they could save whenever it rained. The wretched survivors would ere long have perished as did their fellow sufferers, and the fate of the vessel would in all probability never have been known but for this timely discovery, for even if the men had been able to sustain life in such a horrible manner, still the vessel would have soon gone to the bottom, as she was a complete wreck. Her bottom was literally covered with seaweed and barnacles and she was fast falling to pieces.

A SUIT AGAINST BRIGHAM YOUNG.

Salt Lake, August 10. —Another important lawsuit has been commenced against Brigham Young. Mrs C. Arthur has filed a complaint in the District Court. She prays that she may be adjudged the legal owner of a very p valuable piece of property in this city. Mrs I Arthur has been in continual possession for w over twelve years. The Prophet, it is alleged, by collusion and fraud with the Judge of the Probate Court and ex-Mayor Wells, succeeded In obtaining a deed to the lot in 1875. Mrs Arthur admits that she did not file oa the lot, but, as a reason, alleges that the minions of Brigham Young threatened her with bodily injury and bloody atonement if she filed or attempted to tile en it. Pending the suit she asks that the ren-s and issues be placed in the hands of a re ceiver. The property is valued at over SEVEN CASES OF SMALLPOX IN" THE CATHOLIC ORPHAN ASYLUM.

PARLIAMENTARY.

Disqualification of Ministers

(From our Special Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON.

This day.

Rumours of all sorts have been floating about concerning the disqualification of Min isters.

It was avowed that sir George Grey had served writs on all Ministers, and one for £3500 on Sir Julius Vogel. The amount drawn in excess daring his English expedition. These statements were contradicted in the Post on Saturday, but affirmed in the Argus. Everybody has his own idea of what Min isters ought and ought not to do. This sHmmary proceeding would be a caution and a warning. Government eupportert now wish to maintain that disqualification rests entirely with the House, but they are twitted with M r Whitaker's challenge to Mr Eees on Thursday. The ODportunity of trying the question in a court of law is more probable than pleasant, and the next parliamentary sensation may be the Attorney General and the member for City East, arrayed in wigs, doing battle in another arena. Some say an Indemnification Bill will meet all the necessities of the case, and that the Ministry will introduce one to-morrow. Others declare that they must ask for a month's supply and prorogue. These again are met by people who poiat ont that if Ministers admit their disqualification they place themselves out of the House, and must hand over their portfolios. The position is admitted to baa terrible muddle.

If Ministers bring down an Indemnification Bill, it will probably be carried ; but then there is the question —What the Supreme Court may determine upon the legality of such a proceeding.

(From a correspondent.)

Sir George Grey is determined that the Ministry shall not escape by means of an Indemnification Bill. Writs have now been served on them all for the recovery of the full penalties, and if the Supreme Courfe sus- , tains the opinion of the Solicitor-General there is no doubt whatever that back Ministers must go to their constituencies looking particularly foolish. ~ji (From an Occasional Correspondent.) This day. There are still doubts as to whether the Government are in a false position or not. If found that they are they will ask the House to pass a short retrospective measure to white-wash them, and enable them to start with a clean sheet. This, however, will not suit Sir George Grey and the Opposition, who have decided to oppose any snch measure tooth and toe nail, and talk against time if necessary, Mr Rees guaranteeing to take a double turn at the wheel. , , The Times this morning asks how it is Mr Rees did not notice that a portion of the Aot expressly provides that ho allowanoe can 1 exist whilst Parliament is in session, and ' that an unsalaried Minister could not came within the " allowance " interpretation of the Disqualification Act. Several members of the Opposition are favorabie to passing an Act indemnifying the ministry and condoning any illegality they may have been guilty of, but it is held by those whose opinions are entitled to weight, that there is no necessity for any act at all, and that a very much worse case occurred at home recently. JULIUS GOES HOME. There is no doubt about Julius gonig home though he has not yet announced that he would either accept the Agent-Generalship or resign. Anyhow, the family have been busy packing up the household goods for the last WeGk* NEWSPAPER VLES. Mr Horten, late ef-the Thames Advertiser, is still in Wellington. He would like to start another morning paper here, but he

oe's not yet see his way clear. It is whis pered that Mr Eeed, late of'file Auckland Stak, is going to bring the Guardian up heie and make a staxt, but I do nnt Vouch for the truth of this.

New Finds.

A pigeongram this day reports the City of Auckland and Karangahake are about to crush forty or fifty tons at the Karangahake Company's battery. The reported new find at Owharoa is con firmed. The new reef is east of the Morning Light. Rich apecimena were found half a mile farther away, and parties are searching for the reef whence they cams. The Waifcekauri company's crushing is looking well. The amalgam from the plates gives a payable yield, independent of what may come from the stamber boxes, li tons of picked stuff have been crushed this week. Gold is seen right through the blocks o stone two or three hundred weight. The Y»ung New Zealand has 30 ton 3 quartz in the hoppel to crush at the Wai tekauri battery. The surrounding claims are looking well.

THE OPERA.

Flotow's "Martha" was performed on Saturday night by the ► imonseo Company to a weJl filled house. The opera is always a favorite, and it was as usual enthusiastically received, the spirited playing of the Indies and gentleman of the troupe cen'ributlbg much to it* success. The cast was the same as on the occasion of its first representation. Madame Slmonsen completely electrified her listeners by her glorious rendering of the Last Rope of Summer which fhe had to repeat, The performance of the prinoa donna was altogether too much for the denizens of tho ''pitl' who could not restrain their spplause till the son? was finished The part of Lady Harriet was rendered : by Madame Simonsen throughout in the most finished and artistic manner. Miss Lambert never appears to greater advantage than in this opera, and her render ing the part of Nancy was remarkably characteristic and good Signor Morley as Lyonel sang his splendid love song in tho second act In a style worthy of the music, and was rewarded with a vociferous en core. A. good point about this gentleman is that In singing an encore, ho nearly always succeeds in out doing his first performance. In the other beautiful passages with which the part is studded, he gave unlimited satisfaction. Mr ParringtoD's Plunkett, is one nf the best of that gentleman s impersonations. On Saturday he made a great hit in thn part, and more than once secured an ovation. The numerous duetts, trios, and quartettes, which overspread the opera of Mattha were given good effect to by the artistes we have mentioned. The choruses were good, and the antics of the Leopold family caused much amusement in the Fair Scene.

IL TEOVATORE. is to be produced to-night. Leonora will be per formed by Madame Simomen, and Maurice by Slgnor Morley.

THE 'VIBILIA'S' MEN ON SUNDAY ISLAND.

The Captain of the schooner ' Vibilia' which came up to Auckland under such singular circumstances a few months ago, has addressed the fojlowing letter to the 'Sydney Morning Herald;' ."ir —I am the late master of the bnguntine ' Vibilia' which litnly arrived at Auckland from Sunday Island, and in justice to myself, owners, and supercargo. I beg ta solicit the favowr of your insetting the following unvarnished statement of my being left on that island The vessel was fitted out in April last for a trading voyage to Periryhn's Islands and the vicinity for pearl-shell, and was provided with from £200 to £300 worth ot trade I left here on the 15th of Apri>,having cleared at the Customs and shipping office, the usual regularity. After having gone some distance on the passage I found that a tank of 400 gallons of water had leaked out two-third* of its contests, and knowing that the islands to which I was bound provided onlr brackish water, I shaped a course for Sunday Island, at which place, according to Findlay's Directory, there are three good anchorages and water to be had. I lowered my boat at 9 30 a. a>. May6th, leaving instructions with my chief officer, Mr. H. . B Ratsey, to stand off and on, and in the event of my beiDg long away, to bring: the vessel round the northern point into the west b iy, and anchor. The we»ther was fine, barometer 30 30, and continued so all the time I was on the island. None of these instruccions wer^ carried out, for the vessel passed the next morning within two miles of us, and, notwithstanding atl our signals, left the island, for we saw no more of her. My boat was stove the night previous, but not bo much as to prevent my getting off to the vessel had Mr Ratsey hove her aback and allowed me the chance. Had my mate been in my position I should have deemed it my bounden dnty, patting common humanity out ef the question, to bave made some attempt to learn dsfiaitely the cause of his delay. This he did not do, bat eeolly sailed away, leaving four human beings—one of them his captain—on a desolate island, known to provide neither means of subsistence nor of escape, and of which I had previously made him aware. The state ments made by the mate, published in the Auckland papers, are wholly untiua, and I can only regret moat sincerely that all efforts made by myself and owners to bring him to justice ior his conduct, have been without success ; and I also regret that the pre sent state of our laws should have so aided his escape. I was, with my hands, rescued by the Magellan Cloud, encaged in whaling off the island, and attracted by cur signal fire. I was two months cm board. I hive in my possession affidavits made by the master and officers of that vessel showing the st>ie ef the weather ' during the time I was on the island, and the condition I was in when taken off; I was two months on board her, two weeks on shore »t Tonga Tabu, and over three weeks on board the Reconnaissance- bound here. Unfortunately for all cjneerned (but the mate himself) the delay in my arrival here has allowed him to reach Adelaide, and to sail per Glenelg for London two days ago; I have, therefore the consolation of knowing that I bave In common with the others left with me, lost literally all that I had in the yes«el, and am nevr possessed ef what X stand up in, beside the heavy loss to the owners, and all th'ig with no redress. I am. Sir, yours truly, lljsnky D. Beyer,

We learn thai it is quite untrue that George Saunders, who went to gaol rather than pay the fine for jumping from a railway carriage at Panmure, had been discharged by his employers. The defendant was earning good wages afc Messrs Ireland Bros.' tannery, and why he should have preferred to pnt in his four days instead of paying the fine, which he was well able to do, is a mystery. Messrs Ireland, so far from having dismissed him did not even know of his absence from their works. The four days season of Barlow's circus closed on Saturday evening.
