foe put m jroas. After a moat trying time, during which it was feared every moment that the sailors would use their knives, the captain succeeded in getting all the crew forard. During the disturbance the male passengers and one sailor, named Henry King, stood by the captain, and. rendered Valuable assistance. After this the rations of the crew were stopped, and they were put upon bread and1 water. The passengers kept watch all night, the crew still remaining in a Btate of mutiny. At half -past eight on Sun day morning, when there was a fresh breeze from the S.W., the captain again asked the men if they intended to turn to, but could get no decisive answer. He said he should give them a short time to consider of it. They wanted the master to make certain promises, but he declined to make any whatever. Ultimately, about 10 o'clock the men turned to." The entry in the log ends at this point. The perusal makes one shudder at the narrow escapes which the vessel had ; first of being burnt like the Oos patrick, and next of being the scene of a general melee. There can little doubt that it was the intention of the ringleaders to irri tate the captain and mate to strike them, which would have been the sig nal for a general attack. But the offi cers kept their temper throughout, and the rascals did not get the chance. The passengers speak very highly of the firm demeanour of Captain Everett throughout 1 he affair, and state their conviction that if he had given way in the least, they would have been at the mercy of the lawless spirits of which the crew were composed. The captain and officers bear testimony to the readiness exhibited by the passengers to do their utmost to assist them. Some of the passen gers went aloft and helped furl the sails, in addition to keeping watch during the night. McDonald, who was the leader throughout the disturbance, was heard on one occasion to boast that he had never been on board a ship in which he had not broached cargo. Three of the men are supposed to have been con cerned in the actual plundering of the cargo ; of these McDonald and Carr are two. Some of the men arrested acted as they did from fear of ill-treatment by the others if they turned against them. The conduct of King was most praiseworthy. He stuck by the captain throughout, and as he is a fine powerful fellow he wonld have been of great use had it come to a fight. The members of the opposing parties were nearly equal. On the Captain's side were the two officers, and n" ye male passengers,steward, carpenter, and cook, three apprentices, and one sailor. On the other side were the nine able seamen all armed with knives and furious with drink. The alarm of the females on board may be imagined to have been very great. Mrs Everett, the captain's wife, who was perhaps the only one who knew the extent of the danger, was rendered very ill from fright. It will be seen by our police report that the men were brought up and charged this morning and remanded till Friday.

VICTORIAN FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

MELBOURNE, Augusts: The Financial Statement shews a surplus at the end of last year of £52,000, instead of an anticipated deficit of £130,000. Mr Berry and Air Service have found fault with the Treasurer's figures, and accused him of cook ing the acccounts, and presenting false state ments to Parliament.

The McKean episode occupied the greater part of two evenings, and his expulsion was resolved upon ur.animously. The Java cable is said to be so much ■worm-eaten as to be impossible to be again used.

Sir 0. Gavan is likely to be elected to fill the vacancy in the Assembly. The new Electoral Bill increases the num ber of members from 78 to 84 ; alters hours of polling from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Roberts left for Sydney, and thence goes to New Zealand.

Fire at the Point Russell Hotel.

On Sunday last the Point Russell Hotel, property of Mr Hancock of Newmarket, had a narrow escape from being burned to the ground. A fire took place in the chimney about twelve o'clock, which was soon got under, and all concerned thought thoroughly extinguished, but at about four o'clock it again burst cut, and assumed a dangerous attitude. All thanks to many volunteers who were soon on the spot, cutting away the roof and the inside lining of the house, so as to be able to get at the seat of the fire, which was eventually accomplished, and the fire soon extinguished. It appears that when this Hotel was built one of the joists carrying the first floor was built in the chimney, thereby taking fire. It was very fortunate the fire broke out in the day, had it done so at night the building must have gone, and probably all Mercer with it. The buildin? is insured. The damages are estimated afc £80.

TEMPERANCE DRUM AND FIFE BAND.

This established circle of musicians held their fifth annual concert last evening in the City Hall, and produced a very favourable impression on a largo audience. The band played a number of EDglish and Scotch quadrilles in a manner which shewed an efficiency and knowledge of music which was alike creditable to the band, and Mr Smith, the conductor. The other parts of the programme consisted of songs, dances, etc, of the usual order, with the exception of the "Drum and Fie • Gazette," tke facetious organ of the band. The only lady who pang was Miss Borthwiek, who gave the pretty ditty. " Flora I isle," in a sweetly plaintive manner. Mr McLean gave " Life is a River." Mr Gladding sang " Never Push a Man because he's goirig down the Hill," This was a very creditable performance by this gentleman on his first appearance in public. Mr Chapman repeated in widow's weeds the eternal •' Jones." and Messrs Nairn and Rowe sang very fairly " Down by the Deep Sad Sea," and " Kiss me Mother." Mettam Bros gave two double sours and dances, the " Mississippi Twins" and " How is that for High." Thaae youog men seem to improve on every fresh occasion Messrs Bertie and Rice came out merrily with their double nautical hornpipe, and after continued cheering, re-appeared to the dohght of the audience. Mr Hann'xin sang ' Happy Moments " very well. " Shabby Genteel was an excellent performance, so were the two comic songs bf Mr Dean. Mr "Weston save a recitation Joan the Ozar," and Mr Plunkett {,'aye a humorous reading, half-poetic, half-prose, in hiu masterly manner Mr Hasam. a young man of sixteen, gave a big shoe dance and song •'. My Gal lives in a Valley Green.' but the words were scarcely auditle. A re-call was demanded, bnt Mr Ha jam could not appear, as on leaving the stage he f*mted behind the scenes. Mr Jeune endeavoured to irjform the audience of the unfortu nate occurrence, but the confusion was too great Mr Ward then came forward, and commenced his intro duction to a new negro comic song, which was loudly applauded. Mr Jeune again made his appearince under more favourable circumstances, and on behalf of himself and band, thanked the ladies and gentle men for their attendance, also those who had assisted at the entertainment. Professor Butschkow presided at the pianoforte. At the conclusion of the programme, preparations were made for dancing.

A TERRIBLE VESSEL.

A. bemarkabi/e torpedo ram-boat has been launched from, the German dockyards for that Government. This terrible Uhlan will receive a torpedo, to be carried on a 10ft ram lying deep under the water line which torpedo is to explode on contact with the hos tile ship. The explosive power of the dynamite charge, although it occupies only the volume of an acid carboy, is such as to suffice for the destruction of the ship attacked. As for the torped" boat, its fate can only bn surmised ; bnt with a view to provide against, its total lofs, contrivances have been adopted wVrh justify the expectation that the boat may come oft' with some slight" iDjury only. For this purpose the ship is built with two complete foreparts, sliding one within the other, and having a considarable ex teat of intermediate space between them. Another striding feature is the extraordinary power of the ergines Express boats of the burthen of the Uhlan would generally have 200 horse-power engine*, whilst the Uhlan carries an engine of l.f'oo indicated horse power. The colossal screw-blades measure 9ft by 13ft. The vessel in fact, is all engine, only a yery small space being left for coal and crew. In order to save the crew at the worst, a raft has been constructed, and is placed near the helm. AVhen the Uhlan enters upon action, especially when the line of the hostile monsters has to be broken, the dynamite cartridge is fixed by divers at the point of the ram. The rudder is then fixed; the crew open a wide port on the ship's side, and with their raft rump into the water. The steamer rushes forward and burst 3 its cartridge on the enemy's armour. The crew, however, hold on the torpedo-bort by a line, whilst they are awaiting the result of the explosion, and in case their boat is not hurt they board it again, in order, if necessary, to repeat the manoeuvre. The price of this torpedo boat Is aboxt 200.000 thalers (£30,000); but this outlay seems justified when we consider the destruction such torpedoes will carry into lines of ironclads worth millions. Posuhly, even, torpedo boatsd may supersede and set at rest the present con test between armour and gun. Besides the Uhlan, Oermsny owns aaother ram torpedo-boat, the Zieten, built in England, and in which the fatal cartridge is to be hurled against the ironclad by mechanical power from a gun-barrel under the wa'er level.

A SHARP AMERICAN.

AN EX-WALL STItEIT KINO PLAYS A FINE OAME ON

THE ENGLISH TURFMEN.

Aldek B. Stocitwkll is as pacific a male as ever scuttled a steamship line or cut a railroad company's throat, and his partner on the English turf, Lord Dupplin is a rcost accomplished card-player, ahe talent of "Wall-street and the Park Club combined h^s, as onr mail advices show, been altogether too much for the English racing public in the contest fer the first of the great three-year old events, the 1,000 guineas. Ortier firms have before now traded on their reputation; it remained for Lord Dupplin and his American partner to make their bad name profit able. Having in Kaleidoscope a horse counted sure to win but for P«trarch, they purchased Petrarch as if t~) guard their interests, and at once created the im pression that, they would "scratch" or "pull"the bettfr colt, and let the stcond talto the honours, 4s this did not, as it were, "bear," Petrarch sufficiently, they next ran an ostentatious trial bsfore all the to"ts of Newmarket, wherein Petrarch was ignominiously beaton, and proved far inferior to Keleidoscope This succeeded. Keleidnscope was made the favorite, and Petrarch receded in the betting lists to 25 to 1, at which odds his owners backed him. On tho day of the race, even, they placed on him as rider an unknown stable boy to carry out the fiction that he " was not meant," and making the tunning throughout he won with ridiculous ease. The coup had been well planned, but there is some doubt as to whether the victory of our clever countryman is to be regarded as a proof of American talent or British dullness. Mr Stockwell's career in Wall-street, if we remember rightly, was about as disastrous as it was dazzling. Among the blind, the one-eyed blinkard reigns, and having his weather eye effectually opened in New York, it is not surprising that he should have proved hig keenness of vision in England. While recognizing his nascent talerjt as a financier, we must as critics be severely just, and in the interest of high art, insist that Mr Stockweli shall come back and prove that he can keep here the millions he is winning on the other sid« of the Atlantic.

THE SITUATION.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —I beg to offer the following suggestions in view of the state of affairs at Wellington, aad as a means of strengthening the hands of our representatives now fighting there. First. That a requisition be at once made to the acting Mayor to call a meeting of the inhabitants for to-morrow (Thursday) even ing, in, say the Choral Hall or the Mechanics' Institute. If that meeting be so inclined let them pass a resolution approving the action of their members, and then let the meeting be adjourned till Monday, by which time the fate of the Separation resolutions will be known, and if they be, as seems highly probable, lost, then we the inhabit ants may at this adjourned meeting take such sterjs as may appear advisable to meet the exigencies of the case ; amongst others the advisability or otherwise of asking our re presentatives to leave the House. —Yours, &c, Elector.

A Strange Russian Cruiser.

(To the Editor of the Evening Stae ) Sir, — Can you tell me if any foreign ship of war is at present expected in a New Zealand port. On Saturday, August 6th, I was out in the morning about sunrise oii deck of my cutter, and I observed a war-rigged ship pas sing to the west of me, bearing the Russian flag. She sent out some boats, which sailed towards one of the Islands at the mouth of the Manukau, I could not make out which. They were deeply laden, and filled with marines. I saw them, two hours after, return comparatively empty. Please make enquiries and oblige, yours, Fisherman.

While the lona was on her way to Russell last trip with a noted Native Lands Court official on board, he sprung a leak, and seri ously inconvenienced a gentleman connected with the manganese mining industry at the Bay. The latter's clothes were so much injured that he applied for re-dress, but without success. The affair has caused great excitement at Russell.
