Ti-IE object which drew citizens together for an hour in the busy part of the day lias many claims upon the sympathies of colonists. It is one of those rare occasions when tho throb of the great heart of the British Empire may be felt from tlie centre to the most distant extremities. Scattered, and in very large degree independent and self-governing, the colonies feel their direct camiection witb the Home Government in but few thing.., and with each other even more rarely. Never before has the world witnessed a vast Empire covering 8,371,1.-5 square miles in all parts of the } globe, possessing a popluation of 235,5G0,000 j and-, "held together mainly by mutual j sympathies, common interests, nnd all-pro vailing respect for Fie good Government | which secures equal civil and religious j liberty to all who shelter themselves I Fender its glorious standard. Such an I appeal as that made by the Lord Mayor of i London on behalf of our suliering fcllow countrymehiii India. —for wc must not forget that these poor starving Hindoos are free citizen., of the Cosmopolitan Empire on which the sun never sets —such appeals, we j repeat, never fail to prove that though inlawed by military display, and unin__.ii- I encoil .». Imperial mandates, tho colonists i are as' truly British in feeling and sympathies as if they dwelt within sight of the dome of St. Paul's. Of tho terrible character of Fie calamity which bus ! na:-es-Fat■',. this national appeal there eaa bent: -FeFaa FF.; have already published i statistics shewing the extent and severity of tiie misfo. .'.inc. Lord Salisbury on _i i'c.-e-U" ';.'-'C'.ision said the famine is much ! move serious than that which prevailed a j few years e.-.o under the Govern orshi] jof Lord No;-hbrook, and which cost India am! England np.vard.. of £(i,000,t)(.Hl | ..tor].' .it,. Then the famine-stricken districts I lay will)in a comparatively narrow- area ; j now they are scattered ami widespread. j Then tiie means for the transport }p. food were comparatively com plete ; now through the, extent of ! turrit >ry.iil.cl :d they are id the most inade i quafc description. ]hillock-carls arc Iho chu-L stand-by lor carrying grain, and tho I ilroughi has not, .ally Filled oil'large num bers of tiie dranght oxen, but has rendered' ! fodder extremely scarce. It has been <--F i mala,! that twenty millions sterling will I hardly sni-iue lo sustain the starving pooalaiioi!. The response given to | the cry for licit. in England and iAa trail., ha. been creditable i.ot only i to tiie nation, but to a common humanity. The liberal subscriptions at the meeting i.o dav. the time i<rz which was badly chosen, shew that Auckland will nothc behind Stand. A tithe of the year's waste of the city in valueless indulgences, would gross a noble .sum for those who now stand in nee 'of the bare necessities of life, it may be hoped that (lie vast amounts now being applied to alleviate the distr-ss amo;. .- rhe teeming millions of ihiti-di India."will go far towards preventing any i fatu;c ralamity of the same character. The tin: destitute a.re employed will av--rt the worst _..i_.scq'ii--iice. of drought, which iias nroi_Ftit.iF.i_ tiie present disaster.

Hitherto ihe (p.iestion is said to lie, " Fiiail ; Mr Norrie have tiie buildings for a ! _...hy i terian Church, or shall they lie kept within tlie jurisdiction of trustees for all denomin ations?" The subscribers party have until now held the key, and retained possession. This morning a telegram was received in Auckland stating that a representative of tlie Presbyterians had taken oil' the lock and placed thereon a Presbyterian lock.. 11 is now intended to lay tins diilerenee in the hands of the legal fraternity. We have much pleasure in acknowledging receipt of £1 from "One," towards the Indian Famine Belief Fund. The Moanatairi dividend was declared to-day at 7s Gd The announcement caused no improvement in the Sharemarket. A special general meeting of the Victoria Company of Volunteers will be held to morrow evening in the Drill-shed, for the purpose of receiving the committee's report, and other business. A gentleman has left a purse with us, containing a memorandum and several small coins, which the owner can have on apply ing at the Star ollice. The anniversary services of the Wesleyan church, Pitt-street, were held in the church yesterday, and largely attended, lie v. R. Taylor preached in the morning from St. John's gospel, c. 12 v. 32, and in the even ing Rev G. B. Monro, of Remuera, preached from Nehemiah c. 4 v. 6. The. aggregate collection was £18 18s 7d. The anniversary tea-meeting will be held to-morrow evening, when selections of music and several addresses Will be given. New members belonging to the Indepen dent Order of Jlechabites are requested to attend at the Lodge Room, 7 o'clock sharp this evening, as the C.R. will read tlie lecture. Home industry in the manufacture of stockings, by knitting, has been turned to profitable account by a Waipu housewife. A large quantity of knitted stockings sent, to Mr Green, of Victoria-street, for dis posal, the work of Mrs James Eraser, of Waipu, have met with a ready stile, aud are highly appreciated by the wearers. Tiie members of Nixon's Troop of Light Horse engaged in two contests on Satur day afternoon at Mount Eden Range, the first for Lieutenant Sellers' silver medal, and the second for Captain Isaacs'silver medal. The ranges in each match were 150, 200, and .300 yards, 5 shots each. In the former Vol. Fitzpatrick was the winner, having tied with Scotter, but proved successful in firing ; and iv the latter, Vol. John Gill ; Fitzpatrick scoring 42, and Gill, 47.

A very pleasing children's service was held yesterday afternoon in St. Paul's Cathedral Church, which was largely at tended by children of the Sunday-school and their parents. Several appropriate hymns were sung, and the parable of the unjust steward was familiarly expounded by' Rev. C. M. Nelson. The scholars of .Newton school East, on Friday evening, presented to Mr Leggett, through their teacher, Mr Watkin Edwards, a beautifully finished photographic album, as a testimonial of respect to Mr Leggett, on his leaving for Makctu. The testimo nial was suitably acknowledged. The funeral of tlie late Mrs Gorringe, of Ellerslie, took place yesterday afternoon in the Church of England cemetery, and was followed by the officers and members of the Loyal Flood Intent Lodge of Oddfellows. Deceased was a native of Surrey, near London, and for years was recognised as a member of St. Paul's choir. The burial service was impressively read by the clergyman of the Cathedral Church. Alludingfto the great feast at Tc Moana mii's tangi a correspondent says:—"l see that by a recent paragraph referring to the tangi "over the late Maori chief, (how many chiefs are there?) Te Moanamii, 40 tons of ilour aud 3,000 loaves were supplied by one storekeeper to the order of Government, a supply which represents a sum of more than £1,000. Is it not time to put an end to this sort of farce ? Is the country made of gold that it can afford to give £1,000 towards pro moting ridiculous and immoral rites among a pitiful handful of pampered loafers? Is not this a reckless throw ing away of large sums of money absolutely criminal —criminal in the worst sense of 'the word, sheer robbery of the public purse? How many miles of read- j way for which the colonists are calling out in'all directions could that £1,000 have I made? Let me draw the attention of j some patriotic member of the Mouse to j the matter, in order that further robbery of j tim colonist for Ihe benefit of a degraded ! race of lazy vagabonds may be prevented. ] -..Yours, Sec,' Juris.. _ j Mr J.

Tlie coat of building and ' site is estimated at £1,5000r £1,-00. j A correspondent writes complaining that j he was refused two tickets for tho Orange man's concert and dance, at Newmarket, on the stli November, because he was it Roman ('atholic. The good people of Otahuhu were wire ii> time, and having read in the STAE that Sergeant Gamble proposed a visit to their j settlement in the interests of justice, took .aire to have their weights, measures, and scale., stamped and adjusted in time. Hut- j terinen, bakers, and publicans ware iviie in j tlie balance, and the Sergeant met with a cordial reception, aud parted with pleasant smiles. Mr Wheatlcigh and his dramatic com pany have boon amusing the Thames people ; at their theatre during the past week with the " Shaughraun," and have met with | liberal patronage Mr Wheal leigli intends j re-opening tlie Theatre Royal on Thursday j evening next with the new sensational | drama" of " Tichborne," founded on the | great trial ai Sir l.oger, which occasioned a, j ]..ng and protracted inquiry i»to Ihe^b.giti- j maey of Hie profess, d heir to tho Tiohbonie ; estate. Mr Wheatlcigh will take tiie lead- ! ing eharaefer, and will be supported by a j host of witnesses. The drama ..osso-ses all j the chief points of interest, interspersed i with a good deal of humour. Mr Edwin Moresby, late manager of the ; [inn of Messrs Morrin at the Thames, has \ accepted an appointment under (he New j Zealand Loan and .Mercantile Agency ( . mi- j pa.ar in London.

Plowman; .Junior Beadle, Fro, W. While; Surgeon, Fro. R. Y. Zinzan. Mr Herbert Robert.-; gave a farewell entertainment, at, the Thistle Hotel on Saturday night. The room was crowded. Mi 1 .istian was Mr Roberts' opponent. In the first game the champion, playing with his lingers, gave the local player 40 cannons out of 75, and beat him in a very hollow fashion. ;A scries of fancy strokes followed, with which the spectators were much taken. Mr f.astain then received'2oo points in a game of English billiards 350 up, but the hand player was altogether too much for him, and he was again beaten by more than fifty points. At the conclusion of the per formances a subscription for Mr Roberts wasproposed, but that gentleman generously requested that it might be given to his op ponent.

TRADESMENS' ATHLETIC CLUB.

THIS Club inaugurated its opening season by an excursion to Ellerslie Gardens on Saturday, and a steeplechase and 150 yds. handicap run at that holiday resort. The members, to the number of about twenty live, left town in two breaks at half-past two o'clock, and arrived at the Ellerslie Hotel soon after three. Mr J. A. Brown, the lessee, had marked out a capital course of about two miles, including some stiff stone walls, a big hill, two water jumps, a dead horse, and a live emu, which two latter obstructions though novelwere very effective in adding to the variety and amusement of the run. Fourteen members started for the chase, their names being as follows : —J. Porter, A. Kelly, J. H. Palmer, E. O'Hare, H. Sergeant, W. Mettam, J. Martin, E. Donovan, J. P. Lonorgan, E. Lonergan, W. Katterns, T. Lcedliam, W. Sindon, J. Jones. They all went from the same mark, Mr A. King officiating as starter, and Mr Brown as judge. O'Hare made strong running from the jump, and at the end of half a mile led by twenty yards, Donovan lying second, with the majority of the runners close up. On topping the hill D. Moran ran up to O'Hare, and came down the incline with a slight lead. In the last paddod- the emu was on the alert, and as soon the horde of biped were fairly landed inhis domain he charged them at a hand gallop ; the leading men cleverly evaded his rush,but Katterns, whose line calves presented a tempting morsel,was nearly being sacrificed to bis fury, Donovan kept his lead over the last hurdle, and was apparently winning easily when he made a mistake and shaped his course for the wrong side of the winning post. O'Hare, who was about six yards behind, saw the error and put on a splendid spurt. Donovan, in response to the warning shouts of his friends, now made a dart to the right to get on the right track, and he succeeded in passing the winning post just as O'Hare got up. The judge pronounced it a dead heat, and a fairer decision could not have

i been given. Kelly finished third and j Porter fourth ; all the runners gcompleted the course. Half-an-hour was allowed to elapse, and then the greater portion of the I former runners reappeared for a 150 yards ! Handicap. Eleven started, and the result ! was as follows :— | W. Mettam, 2yds 1 I Palmer, (Iyds 2 j Katterns, liyds ••• 3 I Also rn,n : Whitesides, scratch; Joughin, I scratch ; Donovan, Svds ; P. Jones, Byds ; !H. Brennan, Byds ; Kelly, 9yds ; R. Ellis, j 10yds ; Katterns, 11yds. This was a line race. Jones (one arm) held the lead to about j 3yds from tho tape, when he stumbled and | fell, letting up Mettam, who had gallantly j cut down his men. He passed the post j about a yard ia advance of Katterns, who ■ ran very pluckily. After the sports the I party returned to town, very well satisfied | with their opening day.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

THE VACANT SEAT IN THE CABINET.

This day, 10.30 a.m. It is expected that the remaining two seats in the Cabinet will be filled this after noon, and members sworn in. Colonel Whitmore has definitely declined. A Host of Under-Secretaries. When Sir George Grey sent for the Under-Sccretfiries, on Saturday, he was shocked at the horde who filled the rooms and passages. The Ministers will begin by reducing their own salaries. Mr J.E. Brown has definitely declined fo join the Ministry. The "Canterbury members think two Canterbury men should be in the Cabinet. STARTLING DISCLOSURES. Rumours of startling revelations in the Treasury accounts are still current. It is stated that provincial liabilities have been under estimated oy £350.000, and the late Ministry also privately set down large sums for country roads and bridges to buy support. Report says that the Public Works' accounts "shew scandalous extravagance and corruption. HORSEWHIPPING A MEMBER. Mr. James Macky has distinguished himself by horsewhipping Mr. Hislop, member for Oamaru. Mr. Hislop was most active in discovering the Avherea bouts of the hocussed imprisoned member. After- Wards AL. HL-lop was informed thai Mr.

Macky was seen in a third-rate public house in company with tbe member, prior to his being locked up. Mr. Hislop mentioned this to another member, and the statement came to Mr. Macky's cars. He saw Mr. Hislop on the 11 th, and bounceably demanded the name of his informant. This the latter refused to disclose. On Saturday, Mr. Macky wrote demanding tho name or an apology from Mr. Hislop. The latter thought he might get his informant into trouble, he being a civil servant. Mr. Hislop replied brielly that lie could not disclose the name, and could not hold communication with Mr. Macky unless the latter moderated his tone. Mr. Macky then bought a new horsewhip, and paraded about the streets, vowing vengeance against all and sundry. He flounced up to the Princess Hotel t in search of his man—not there. At length he met Mr. Hislop on Lambton Quay, and demanded an immediate apology. Mr. Hislop replied, "This is noplace for apology, or such a demand." Mr. Macky replied, "Damnyou, if you don't apologise I'll horsewhip you." Mr. Hislop : " I warn you not to do any thing of which you may have reason to repent." Mr. Macky: " Will you apologise?" Mr. Hislop : "No ; certainly not." Macky then raised tiie whip and struck Hislop a slight blow. Hislop closed and throttled him up against the shutters with one hand, and with tlie other seized the whip. Macky got tlie whip with both hands. Hislop then broke lite whip into several pieces in the struggle. A crowd gathered, and Mr. Hislop let go his hold. Macky walked a few yards and called out, " You damned . I've horse whipped you." One of tlie crowd called out to Macky, " you'd butter go home and put your head in a bag, you've had enough." Fir-. FisFer, M.H.E,., advised Mr. Hislop to follow Mr. Macky, who had dis appeared. Mr. Macky has gained much notoriety by visiting- various hotels, and dramatically seeiting his heroic adventures. Mr. Hislop is a lawyer about half Mr. Mackv's weight. 1.10 p.m. COLONEL WHITMORE DECLINES. Political excitement this morning is most intense. Mr Fisher is sworn in. Colonel Whitmore declined. Mr Mantell will probably lead iv tho Upper House. Major Atkinson is unable to form a party. ' MP STAFFORD'S RETURN. Mr Stafford returned from Napier with tlie avowed intention of turning out the Grey Ministry. Owing to tlie announce ment of his determination, several old Go vernment followers have turned over te, the Grey party, SECEDERS. Messrs Travers, Gisborne, Curtis, and probably Rolleston, will go into Opposition. Mr Curtis threatens to move a no-confi dence vote, even before Sir George Grey's policy is stated. If so, there will probably be three weeks' debate, as both sides will fmht to the utmost. NEW GOVERNMENT POLICY. _ The unification of the colony, localisation of .Land Fund on Mr .. akctield's principle, is agreed on by tlie new Ministry. Cool heads declare Grey safe. 2.30 p.m. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. Sir George Grey will make a Ministerial statement this evening, and will.be prepared to proceed with business. Mr Fisher was sworn this afternoon. A portfolio was o'lered to Mr Buckley with the lead in the Upper House. This would make two Canterbury men in the Ministry, and. satisfy Canterbury. Major Atkinson look's terribly haggard and broken down. Mr McLean says he is glad at being out. Several supporters of the late Ministry have come over to the Government. Mr Mackny will be proceeded against civilly.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. BarstowEsq., R. M.) TIPSIOLOGISTS.

Isaac Buck and Michael Macarty were fined. The fprmer ss, and the latter ICs for being drunk on Saturday night. ■ GOING IN HEAVY. Samuel Butcher, who described himself as the sweep of the province, was charged with being twice drunk near his residence in Chancery Lane on Saturday night, when he was let out on bail, and on Sunday morning. The wretched man appeared with a terribly cut face, and pleaded guilty to both charges. He had pains in his stomach, and had gone in rather heavy. Fined 10s, or 48 hours for the iirst offence, and 20s and live days' imprison ment for the second, or in default seven days. HARRY BLUFF. Harry Bluff, alias Campbell, was charged with a preach of the Merchant Shipping Act, by absenting himself without leave from the British ship Wanaka, on the 12th iust. Prisoner, a short, sturdy, seaman, pleaded guilty, but was under the influence of drink at the time. The mate deposed to the facts, and said the captain was not desirous of punishing the man, but gave him into custody to deter other seamen from following his example. Fourteen days' imprisonment, to forfeit 6 days' pay, and. pay the costs, 6s 6d. UNSEEMLY. l.ichard Attwell was charged under the Vagrant Act with wilfully exposing himself in the Post-office buildings, on the 13th inst Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Inspector Thomson said that he had received a letter from the post-master, com plaining of persons making a urinal of the corridor of the Post-office. Consequently he had placed a constable on the premises. Mr Jlesketh appeared for the prisoner. Mr Biss, Chief Postmaster, deposed that in consequence of persons continually coming into the building and committing a nuisance. He had desired the assistance of Inspector Thonisoji in preventing the con tinuance of a nuisance which was becoming intolerable.

Constable Struthern deposed that at half past nine o'clock he was on duty in plain clothes, at the Post Office, when prisoner came across the street, and deliberately committed the offence. Prisoner appeared to be quite sober. Cross-examined by. Mr Hesketh : He knew prisoner as a sea-faring man, hut knew nothing against his personal character. He was not in the act of posting a letter. He took hold of him, andjj turned him round, and had no doubt that he was about to commit a nuisance.

Mr Hesketh argued that there was no case of wilful and obscene exposure as the constable's evidence clearly proved. His Worship ruled that there did not appear to be any wilfulness in the act. He believed there was a clause in the city by-law under which this case might have been brought, and a fine inflicted, but this did not come under tlie Vagrant Act. If a man wilfully exposed himself in* Queen-street, he should

hrve no hesitation in finding a

Prisoner was discharged. Mr Inspector Thomson' said the™ another case of a similar nature but nT^ were circumstances in connection m% winch induced him to ask that it S{ be withdrawn. iUlgut Mr Hesketh offered some farther remarks The youth was highly respectable andsS" > jected to a constitutional infirmity His Worship consented to a withdraw .1 of this case. ai ATTEMPTED SUIT IDE William M. Moyle was again brought up on a charge of attempting to com* suicide by hanging himselt with a roue «„ the 11th inst, l*> 0n Mr Inspector Thomson conducted tho inquiry, and Mr Hesketh watched thecal! for defendant. "^case Witnesses were ordered out of Court Janes Rae, pawnbroker, deposed th.t he lived in the next cottaL t Mr Moyle m Grahaia-street, bu. w ™ not acquaiHted with him. On Thursday last, the 11th inst,, he was at home afoS o clock pm, wltenadattghtcrortheprisoiS came to him ana asked him to come to her father's assistance as, he was hanging him sell. Ho took a Knife m ms hand, and went immediately ; he saw him lying on thefloor in a back room of his house ; he was pantine tie inted him up ami held him in a sitting posture, to enable him to get his breath There was a piece of rope attached to . beam, or rather a towel-roller, which the little girl said she had cut from his neck. He took possession of the pieces fo prevent him rising them for the same- purpose again. Prisoner was very much under the iuiiuenceof liquor, and did not appear to la- responsible for his act Prisoner said ho should be all right directly witness left die house, and gave infornia. tion to q.he police. Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh. He was quite clear as. to ..Fat the little girl said when she called to him, the attempt was made with a clothes-line. The room was a lean-to, nearly six feat high. Moyle was what is vulgarly termed "beastly drunk." Shortly after Moyle said "he shonld soon be all rig -t." ho asked for a. piece of rope, as lie wanted to hang him self, hut witness did not think that Moyle was conscious, of what lie said. To Sub-Inspector Pardy : He took the rope into his own house, but had not since bee;- able to thai it, CiiarlcsCahill, apprentice atthe "Herald" ollice, deposed that ho was in Graham-street between one and two o'clock, when Mr Rae called, him into Mr Movie's house, saying, "lore's a man hanging him. self. lie went, bur, did not immediately see Moyle. Presently he saw him on the floor. The little girl cried out, "I've cut it," meaning tlie rope, but he did not see the girl. When Moyle was set up by Mr Rae he went to dinner, and then returned to type. Dr. Dawson, of Weliesley-street, dnly qualified medical practitioner, deposed that on the 11th inst,, he was called to examine the prisoner at the station. Found him in a very excitable state. He asked him what he had been doing. Moyle replied, "nothing." Witness then asked him to account for the red mark on his neck. He said that had been produced by the baud of his collar, when collared hy .tiie police, but afterwards he said he had been teaching his children how to lasso horses in Mexican style. Dr Dawson had evidently been drinking. He then described the mark, and. thought that it must have b( en produced by a small cord. Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh. He considered that, no such band could produce such a mark. Prisoner sedd that the police had dragged him out of bed. Vincent Moyle, daughter of the prisoner, aged nine years, was examined as to the nature of an oath ; but Iter replies not being satisfactory, she was not permitted to give evidence. Mr Hesketh asked if his Worship con sidered that the witness was incompetent to take an oath. His Worship said he could get nothing satisfactory from her, and he considered thai she was net competent to take an oath. Sergeant Mulville deposed that on the 11th instant he was informed that prisoner• had attempted to commit suicide. He arrested him ou that charge when prisoner said he had attempted to hang himself, but was only larking. He then went to prisoner's residence, but failed in fin ding either the roller or the rope ; they were gone. To Mr Hesketh : He was accompanied by Detective Jefi'ery, found prisoner on his bed. He was mot>b_d by-Miss Dempsey and the whole family. He was roughly treated, and got several blows. Mr Hesketh said lie would not call evidence, but addressed the court at some length to show that the evidence was not sufficient to prove a prima facie case ; there was no evidence to shew that the rope had been around the man's neck, beyond the statement of Dr Dawson, and the man's own. statement which could not be relied upon considering the state he was in. 'The depositions then read over, and the prisoner fully committed for trial at the next criminal sittings of the Supreme Court,

Mr Hesketh asked for bail, which was allowed, prisoner iu*£so, and two sureties in bonds for £25 each. This was all the business.
