PARTY WARFARE.

To the Editor of the Eventing Star

SlK,—ln the present apparently demoralised condition of our House of Commons, the fallow ing brief reflections noon the direct causes of such a bad effect, may, at least:, serve to fill a corner of your journal. If is a truism to assert that the very existence of parliaments, like schools or armies, depends upon what is known by the term, discipline. Well, for many years after a parliament had been granted to New Zealand by the Home Government, the House divided itself into two distinct parties, the one led by Mr Fox, supporting as its basis the late Provincial form of Government; the other led by Mr Stafford, and supporting what was known as the Central form of government; or in other words, one parliament and one purse, as at pre sent. This satisfactory state of matters, how ever, suddenly came to an end through Mr I^ox abdicating his leadership in favoui of Mr Water house, who quickly resigned the premiership in favour of Sir Julius Vogel. So much for the Provincial party, Up to the date of Sir Julius' flight from the wrath to com.', into the magnifi cent retirement of the Agent-Generalship, the Central party, on the other hand, had faithfully recognised Mr Stafford aa still its leader; ami in the ordinary course of events he would doubtless kave returned to power with the new order of things. But events took an extraordinary in nlace ef an ordinary course, through the unexpected appearance upon the scene of another Opposition Richmond, in the person of Sir George Grey. Although actually the Father of Provincialism, Sir George—for reasons too numerous to men tion here—at once crnnmanded a strong body of the present Opposition, and thereby entirely destroyed the strength of the Opposition as a united body; and, of course, Mr Stafford's author ity also. J'ist after the abolition of Provincialism la3t session, I pointed out to the two sections of the Opposition that they could only return to power by§" burying the Provincial hatchet," and coalescing to reform the Native Department, the finances, etc., etc. The division of last night has, I think, justified that prediction. Had Mr Stafford supported Mr Rees' motion, the Op position would be chanting Te Peums of victory to-dfty. Just as Centralism has been Mr Staf ford's hobby for over 20 years, so the settlement of the people on the land has been Sir George Grey's. Mr Stafford has lived to carry his hobby; andspeaking Crorapersonal'acquaintapce ■with the man, although without authority. I believe he would eagerly join hands with Sir George Grey, and consummate the other also, if he were only approached in a frank and straightforward manner. It is admitted in every constitutionally-governed country, that the springs of parliamentary life become dull and unhealthy, if not braced up from time to time in the cold shade of Opposition. This is clearly one of the effects, at present, of having two masters, and expecting the Opposition to serve both. Xo intelligent man can now doubt that the Atkinson Government does npt possess the confidence of the country, but is simply existing upon the mercy of Mr Stafford. The question, then, for Sir George Grey's party to ask itself is. I fancy, something to this effect: Shall it come to terms with the Stafford section of the Opposition, against the common foe, or shall it hold aloof, and thereby force Mr Stafford to keen the present Government in power throughout this Parliament, or say for the next three years? For the life of me, I, for one, fail to see—now that Provincialism is dead—how such an agreement cannot be arrived at. The first point for the junior members of the party to remember is, that no army can exist without discipline, and that the services of a quarter of a century must surely count for something against those of say a few days. With your permission, I shall indicate, in a future epistle, the possible double lin^s of union for the Opposi tion.—Yours, F. H. TiiOUP.

POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before James Baber Esq., Justice of the Peace.) THE NIGHT TRAIN.

The Lushington train from the city of Bacchus, reached the police station at midnight. The passengers appeared with discolored eyes, and cut faces, evidencing a rough journey, and were discharged on the following reasonable terms : —William McKeown, 5s ; Theodore Burns, ss. James Brayson, and John Leonard, being much on: ef health, and Buffering from a severe attack of brandy-spifFen, were sent for seven days to the Mount Eden Infirmary. BEAUTIFUL KITTY. Kitty Clarke, a lady with golden tresses falling' over her shoulders in wild disorder. was brought up under the Vagrant Act, charged with being a drunken and dis orderly person, a rogue and vagabond, and with using offensive language, and indecently exposing herself in Epiphany st*eet, Newton, on the morning of the 13th inst. Prisoner denied the charges, and repud iated the idea of a lady acting in such a vray Sub-Inspector Pardy said this wras an «xtremely bad case, and as he could get .sevoral witnesses who could testify to the woman's conduct, lie would ask for a remand until to-morrow. The lad}- said she had no objection, and the remand was granted. TITE ECCEXTjRIC Wll. LLOYD. William Lloyd was charged with creating a disturbance in Chancery Lane, last night, while in a state of intoxication. Prisoner denied the charge. Sergeant-Major Mason arrested prisoner, who was in a very wild state with a loaded revolver in his possession. Constable Hogan corroborated. Prisoner .said lie should not venture to address the Court on this occasion as the case was in the hands of Mr Tyler his .solicitor. Wm. Lloyd was then charged under the Vagrant Act with being an habitual j drunkard, but made no reply beyond asking- I to be allowed to call a witness as to his ; invariably sober character. i The Court said Mr Lloyd might call any j witness to shew that he was saber. Prisoner said it was a little boy who j worked at a shoe shop in Auckland, but he j neither knew the boy's name, nor the name J of his master. Mr Baber said: Mr Lloyd, I am very sorry j to see you here on these charges, and I can- ' not help thinking that a few weeks retire ment from public life, will he of advantage to you. I order that you be imprisoned for one month. This was all the business. '

THEATRE ROYAL.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT.

TIIE change of performance at the Theatre Roval which was made last night, turned out a great success. "Forbidden Fruit" is a comedy strongly characteristic of its talented author, Dion Boucicault. Its dramatic construction is well nigh perfect ; it is full of the most telling situations and surprises, and the dialogue is pointed and witty, keeping the audience in a perpetual state ot merriment. There is a spice of naughtiness? about the plot, but the moral is undeniably good. The story is told in very few words. Sergeant Baster (Mr Leopold) an old married rip of a barrister, has a partner named Mr Cato Dove (Mr C. Wheatleigh), whose married life has been of a most exemplary description. Buster surprises Dove having an interview with Zulu, the trapezist, who, animated by a desire for notoriety, wishes him to call her as a witness in the ''Great Brighton scandal case," and succeeds m mafano1 an impression on his soft heart. Bustcr°rallies Dove on his new flame, and at length persuades him to come with him for once, and "make a night of it" at Cremorne with Zulu and another "lady." The progress of the plot is taken up with the succession of mishaps which befal the two husbands in their pursuit of "For bidden Fruit." Baster has a knowing wife, who smells a rat, and contrives to prevent him fulfilling his engagement with his friend ; and "Dove, supremely miserable, waits for him and the '•' ladies" in the sup per-room at the Cremorne Hotel. His misery is not alleviated by the discovery that he has no money with him, and great laugh ter attended his constantly, repealed in- | junctions to the waiters to " charge it to : Buster." Dove, before going on the spree, lias told his wife, at the suggestion j of Buster, that he i.s obliged to go to ! Nottingham on business. After he leaves Mrs Dove, a brother of that lady, Captain Derringer, whom Dove has not seen, arrives from India, and finding his sister alone , proposes they shall go out for the evening, and wind up with a fine supper at Cremorne. I Tins programme is carried out, and while Dove is waiting for his friends he ; i-s thunderstruck by discovering _ that j his wife is in au adjoining room with a : strange gentleman, who is "my dearing"' ' her hi an alarming fashion. The stage is so arranged in this act that the interiors of ■ the two rooms are both visible to the '. audience, who are thus enabled to listen ] to a couple of dialogues going on ; at the same time with very good; effect. Of course, Dove is in an awkward \ position, since lie must discover his own ! perfidy by exposing his wife. At last, how ever, he breaks into the room, and then the . denouement is rapidly reached. |The curtain descends rather unexpectedly, which makes j the finish the weak point of the piece, j This, however, might very easily be altered. \ We must congratulate the company upon : their .iblc performance of the characters, j Wheatleigh is capital as Cato Dove, and i his exclamation, "if this is making a night j of it, may I be hanged if ever I make another !" was uttered as fervently as ever j a promise of amendment by a prisoner in ; the dock. Mr Leopold is evidently at : his best in low comedy. His "Buster" ; was funny in the extreme, and his sudden changes of visage under surprise, j were side-splitting. Mr Belton as Captain Derringer fully sustained his reputation. ! The military coxcombry infused into the part was well sustained. Mr Mcl- j ville's delineation of Poad, the old ; clerk, was highly meritorious. Miss Tilly [ Andrews, as" Lulu, acted the " loud" i trapezist very appropriately, and was well . received ; Miss Henderson was delightfully j fresh and modest as Mrs Cato Dove ; while > Mrs Searle made a splendid Mrs Buster. | The other parts were all well done. The [ mountings and other accessories were | cleverly "managed. The piece is likely to j have a good run.

THE ENTRY OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY INTO TIRNOVA.

REJOICINGS OF THE BULGARIANS

The following extract is from a letter of the Special Correspondent of the " Daily News " at the Russian headquarters, under date Tirnova. July 12 :— This lias been a great day for Tirnova. The Grand Duke arrived to day at noon, with the greater part of the Eighth Corps, so that now the town may be considered really occupied Ly the Russians. _ Tlie march from Sistova was rather a military promenade or a triumphal "proces sion than a forced march, which it really was. Everywhere the people came out to meet us, offering bread and salt and the most friendly greetings ; while the women and girls offered fruit, and pelted us with flowers. At the entrance of many of the villages arches wene erected, covered with leaves and flowers. Processions, headed by priests,, came out singing to meet us, with pictures from the churches, standards, and banners. There were deafening oheers, and the most extravagant joy. They insisted on shaking hands with us, would have kissed our hands had we allowed it, and sometimes they even shed tears. At the entrance of the village of Zavada, which is at the entrance of the gorge that leads to Tirnova, a rude arch was con structed of branches of trees. The Avhole population of the village gathered at the roadside near it. The soldiers, without orders from their ofHcers, uncovered as they passed under, to the great de liglit of the people ; while a huge bar of iron, beaten by a mallet, gave forth the first sound resembling a bell heard here for four hundred years. Just inside this gorge or hollow arc two very ancient monasteries, built one on each side of a steep mountain side. The priests from these monasteries came down to meet us with banners and pictures, and o large beautiful Bible, which as many of the soldiers as could kissed as they passed, the people of these monasteries hoisting old bells which had lain hidden in the base ments for four hundred years, and the voices of which will soon again be heard rolling up and down the hollows and gorges of the mountains. The reception at Tirnova was splendid. The appearance of the town to-day presented a striking contrast with what I saw when here last summer. Then, not a woman was to be seen in the streets nor at the windows of the houses, and men went about with a frightened, cringing air, that showed the state of terror in which the people were kept. The zaptiehs were_ the only > le who did not appear afraid of their own shadow.

Now, all is changed. The zaptiehs arc replaced by Russian soldiers. The streets are full of women, girls, and children, who mingle with the soldiers on the most friendly and sociable terms. The windows are teeming with the faces of pretty girls flags and streamers. The narrow, crooked streets are choked tip by crowds of people, soldiers, horses, and wag gons, and the town is ringing Avifli excitement and joy. Such is the reception the invaders receive at all hands.

The Grand Duke arrived about noon. Hi' was met at the usual entrance to tlis town by priests in robes chanting prayers in the old Sclavonic tongue, and immense crowds of people. With deafening cheers he was conducted to the church, where he assisted at a short service, then passed through the streets, where several arches had been erected with the inscription upon them of "Welcome," followed by a crowd of girls singing. The women and girls at the windows literally covered him with flowers*, whil" Christo lynatiefl'with the ,-..-, .«.->iou.s moustache "was quite buried in the carriage "v.-lor tV: loiiv.1.., cowers, and wreaths showered upon him. The Grand Duke then went to the quarters already prepared for him. The people have opened their houses to the Russians. There is no trouble about "etting billets. The officers have only to mciuire at the first house, and if not already occupied they are .sure to be

i received. I obtained a room in the first I house I asked at. The people are all smiles and words of welcome. I can only hope that the Russians will not cause j them to change their minds before they go j away. In only one village did we have a cool ' reception. That was Akchair, where the | people showed a disinclination to sell any j thing, either because they were afraid the I Russian? would go away and the Turks j come back, or because some flying band of j Russians had taken things without pay | ment. The Turkish population fled every ' where. We passed through several vil-

1 lages which had been abandoned, the Turks I carrying oil" all their effects that they ! had not been plundered of. I have ; been told that some of these vil | lages had been fired by the Cossacks. I iam inclined to think this a mistake. I saw I myself an occasional outhouse or heap of j straw burning that may have been iired by ' accident; but when I past there was not | the slightest indication of an intention to | burn any village ; nor do I think any has I been burnt.

The contry jilonng the road is very rich, but little under cultivation. Most of it is grass land, otiering abundance of forage for horses.

Nearly the whole Turkish population fled from Tirnova carrying- oil' their goods and chattels. The houses of those who Jled were more or less damaged by the Bulgarian juvenile population. Windows and doors were smashed, as at Sistova. The most needy part of the population helped them selves to what the Turks left behind, which was not much. These acts were committed during the day or two of anarchy which preceded Russian rule, and followed the departure of the Turks, and are repudiated by the better class of Bulgarians, who ex press great chagrin at them, but who were powerless to pi event them. There appears to be a disposition to attach more import ance to these acts of Vandalism than they merit. The breaking of a few doors and windows is, after all, but a slight vengeance for the oppression which culminated in the horrible massacres of May. The acts besides were not committed in the houses of Turks who remained at home. Fifty Turkish families have remained here quite undisturbed and unmolested. Had the Turkish population remained quietly at homo none of these things would have happened. The conduct of the retreating Turks is most exemplary. I have heard of isolated cases of outrage, murder andvioiencc but these are rare. They drive oil all the Bulgarian live stock—sheep, horses, and cattle—they can lay their hands on, but do not go further. Several villages we passed through had not one four-footed beast left. This measure, quite justifiable upon mili tary ground*, perhaps, naturally exasperate the Bulgarians greatly. It would not be at all astonishing if they burnt every aban doned Turkish village

ANOTHER AXE TO GRIND.

To the Editor of the Evening Star.

Sir,—ln your issue of yesterday's date. I observe a communication, headed " Anotheraxetosrrind," andsigned " Evening Star;" your correspondent appears to be in a dense fog. What does he mean by any person or persons getting a monopoly? As far as I am aware, no person or persons applied for a monopoly of any kind. The applicants for a site for a patent slip on the east side of the breakwater for a term of 99 years, simply requests that such site be sub mitt iul Tor sale at public auction under certain con ditions. At thesal", if it takes place, it will bo quite competent for " Evening Star" to become the purchaser of thn proposed site, if holwill comply with the conditions of sale. I may also inform him that the Custom site did not cost the ratepayers or the Harbour Hoard one shilling, let alone £3,000 ; nor am I aware that it is pro posed to utilize the site in any other way. Your correspondent writes as if he were present at the meeting of the Harbour Hoard on Tuesday hist, if so. he should avoid insinuations that he cannot substantiate. In reference lo the site on the western side of the wharf, if it is decided by the Hoard that the site applied for by Mr G-ouk will be reserved tor a patent slip, it will be sold at public auction, audit will be open to your correspondent,or any other man to compete. Therefore, where is the monopoly. Your correspondent, and those who hold similar views, and, unfortunately for Auck land, there are a good few of them, are like the dog in the manger, they will not erect slips themselves, nor would they, if they could, allow others to do so. Your correspondent is exercised over the probable competition between a small slip proposed to be erected by private enterprise ami the Auckland graving dock. Tho idea is simply absurd, and, were it true, are those inter ested in .shipping in Auckland and elsewhere in the colony to be compelled to make use of the dock whether they like it or not.— Yours, &c, 1). H. McKknzik.

P.S.—lf your correspondent, whoever he may be. has anything more to say on this Subject, let him append his proper name, so that the public can see who he is.—D. H. McKbnzik.

THE SUFFERERS BY THE FIRE.

The agent for the Transatlantic Insurance Oitice says that £1,500 of the £2,000 for which Mr Alcom was insured in that office was re-insured in English offices that have no agencies here. According to the valuation of Alcorn's stock, made to-day by experts, it is estimated to have been worth between £9,000 and £10,000. During to-day £300 was subscribed amongst the mercan tile community in a few hours f«r Mrs Al corn and children, so keen was the sym pathy. Very much more could have been gathered if required. About two years ago it is said that Mr Alcorn came here with five or six thousand pounds. By this lire he lose* every shilling. The cash on the premises amounted to about £ISO, of which £14 has been found amongst the ruins. Lord and Lady Normanby have sent a letter of sympathy to Mr and Mrs Alcorn. At the inquest on the child, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

pThe first meeting of creditors in James IT. Grattan's estate was held to-day, at the oilice of the Provisional Trustee, Supreme Court Buildings. The liabilities were stated at £930 6's 3d; assets, £171. Mr Thomas Macffarlaiie was appointed Trustee in the estate.

THE WAIKATO TRAIN.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF A MARE

AND FOAL.

A COW AND CALF SMASHED TO

PIECES

Tins morning we received an excited and excitable account of the Waikato train having on Tuesday and Friday nights run fiver some droves of horse* and cattle. On inquiry we find that the damage is not ,so grout us first reported, being us follows :— On Friday as the train was entering Huutley station, It. Baxter, the engine driver, had whistled, when he saw a cow and calf rushing from the coach road to cross the line in front of the train. He reversed the engine ami blew the alarm whistle. The engine, Jiowever, knocked down the cattle, and ran on to them, being thrown into the air by the concussion. T. Manning, the stoker, was pitched head first out, while the engine was driven several feet off the rails. A long detention ensued. None of the passengers were even shaken, and thought the traiuliad stopped at the station. The train arrived at Newcastle about f> o'clock in the morning. On the following Tuesday an other similar event took place. This time a little beyond Taupiri, near the Mangawhare Bridge, a mare and foal leaped from behind a furze bttsh, just in front of the engine. The unfortunate

beasts were knocked prostrate by the buffer, and ground to an indistinguishabie mass by the ponderous engine. On this occasion the locomotive was not displaced od' the rails. The horses were Maori hacks. The next thing we shall hear of is a claim for utu. Noblame is attributable to the engine drivers, nor to Mr Jerry Flynn, the guard.

FIRE ON BOARD THE LADY ROTH OFF THE NORTH HEAD.

Last night the cutter Lady Roth caught iire. She had come up from Tapn ; the tide was ebbing, and there being no wind, she anchored off the North Head. She had up a riding light, which ignited the canvass, rolled round. The burning fragments fell on the staysail. Three sails were burnt, and the mast, boom, gaff, bulwarks, and nighthead, &c, charred a good deal before the men on board were aware of the fire. The sailors were alarmed by flames enter ing the cabin. They rushed on deck, and, being well provided with btickets, put oitt the fire, all traces of which were extin guished at about 3 o'clock this morning.
