BURNING OF A STEAMER—FIVE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.

Lloyd's agent at Larnacn, uyprus, in ja iietter dated March 19th, furnishes full particulars of the burning of the Austrian Lloyd's steamer Sphinx near Cane Elia, in the early part of last month, by which 500 Circassian refugees lost their lives. It appears that the Sphinx was on her way to Lattachia from Zavala with about 3 000 Circassians on board. On March sth she to', doubling the Kuts Hock, off Cape St. Andrew, with a strong wind from south-east, with the intention of going to Famagusta to wait for better weather and take in provisions for the emigrants. There was a strong gale from the south-east, and the ship would not obey the rudder, and a heavy sea striking the vessel washed forty refugees from the fore castle. Could not pun back to Alexandretta as the hatches were open, and being afraid that the sea would fill the hold, coupled with the fact that the Circassians would not allow them to be closed for fear of being suffocated. At C.15 smoke was seen coming out of the fore hatch, and the vessel shipping heavy seas. A little later she grounded on a sandbank; one heavy sea drove heron the coast, and she sprang a leak. There was no working the engines. Meanwhile the fire increased, and the contusion and cries of the Circassians are said to have been something awful. Seeing that the fire could not be put down, the hatches were closed, with the consent of the Circassins, and so upwards of 500 lives were sacrificed to save the rest. During the night attempts were made to extinguish the fire, but without success. On the 6th the sur viving emigrants were landed. The captain and crew fled from the wreck, as the Circassins threatened to murder them. Two days after wards the French gunboat Lewis received on board the captain and crew, vfho had taken refuge at Tricomo, and the following day H.M.S. Coquette received on board the first lieutenant of the Sphinx, whowaa also hiding at Tricomo. -The Circassins robbed the ship before leaving Tier of everything that was portable—plate, linen furniture, and all the clothing of the officers. The Circassins had fires, it is said, in the hold to keep themselves warm and to cook with, and it is not surprising that the fire originated from the accidental upsetting of one of their stoves. She Sphinx is completely des troyed from bow to midships, and all that is expected to be saved is the engines.

' ' ■' The Customs launch has been towed over from Messrs Mewburn and •; Holmes' shipbuilding yards, North Shore, where she has- undergone very extensive alterations. She was formerly an open boat, and therefore part of the improve ments consist in a new deck, rail, and stan chions, which have been fitted on her. Eleven feet have been added to her size, and she has been raised 18 inches, Her boiler was taken out, and turned. The vessel is now supplied with a mast, 26 feet in length, and boasts of a hold, and fore and aft cabins. The latter is a very handsome little saloon, 14 feet by 7 feet 6 inches, and wiil accommodate several persons. Above the aft cabin are the companion and skylight. Altogether, the improvements and alterations have been very creditably per formed, and this fact speaks well for the con tractors, Messrs Mewburn and Holmes, and Mr McCoskrie.

" What shall we do with our boys?" has been asked and answered many times, under many circumstances, and in many ways, but very little of a more practical nature than the facetious response " Marry them to our girls " has been offered to solve the problem. Usually, while parents are talking about it, "our boys" settle the difficulty by doing something with them selves which may or may not satisfactorily determine parental solicitude. Well directed effort should rather encourage than obstruct so natural an order of adjust ment. But it must be acknowledged that the colonial lad, even when willing and eager to carve out his own way in life, finds such a limited choice that sheer necessity drifts him iuto one of the well-beaten tracks that lead through fields where all the native clover has long been closely cropped. It is not always the fault of " our boys" when, finding themselves wedded to an uncongenial pursuit—shelved in the servi tude of an ollicial under-strappcr's billet, or struggling against fate as a mature junior clerk—they curse the causes that contributed to the final shipwreck of hope. If new and varied channels of industry were opeu.providingoutletsforlhegrowingmasses of well-educated and unprovided-foi youths, who are now clamouring at every door to the Civil Service and other "gen teel" professions, rendering the lives of Ministers and bank managers miser able, it is more than probable that the knotty question which is now embarrassing papas and mammas would settle itself. So, at least, the Thames County Council seems to think, for in the annual report of that versatile body, to which nothing comes amiss—from a delicate native negotiation to the seizure of a small surplusage of Govern ment scrap iron—we hud the following sen tences :—

"Tho fast, but certainly not the least important subject which your Board recom mends most seriously to the notice of the Council, is.the great question,—How are the rising generation to be employed with benefit to themselves and advantage to the State? The population of this dis trict is not only large aud healthy, but most rapidly increasing; and some com prehensive scheme should be matured to provide them with the means of gaining an honourable and sufficient livelihood. At present these means arc exceedingly restricted. It is the duty of the Govern ment, by wise administration, to master this difficult and Critical question; aud it is suggested the strongest representations should be made urging, among _ other measures, the expediency of developing the agricultural and pastoral iuterest-i, en couraging the establishment of local in dustries—by subsidies and bonuses, or limited protection to new manufactures. Although this question may not be con sidered as strictly within the scope of a cot porate body such as a County Council, your Board is nevertheless constrained to offer these suggestions iv the interests of the people."

The modest addendum was hardly needed, for we hold that no representation, come from whatever quarter it may, can be ill timed or ill-placed which directs the atten tion ot the people to the paramount im portance of'establishing the commerce and prosperity of the" colony on the only sound basis—produced wealth. Nor do we think that the Council is very far astray in its indication of the directions- which Government effort must take if it would assure a full development of the ample stoves of wealth which are a national heritage in the land we occupy. First, agricultural settlement, —not the monopoly of seven million acres by 112 men the actual state of thiugs in one part of New Zealand now—but bona fide farm settlement; second, the fostering of manufactures adapted to the country, employing the labour of the people in utilizing and working up its raw materials, while furnishing a home market for other classes of natural produce, and supplying the staple of commerce. Lastly, the complete freedom from State burdens of the food supplies of the people and other necessary articles of consumption which the country cannot produce. The way is not new. It is the old foundation on which the wealth of every country that is now prosperous has been built. The national sacrifices involved in its execution are infinitely less and more easily borne than those heavy burdens now entailed on the people, by a loose indiscriminate taxation levied in the interests of land monopolists. We are «lad, therefore, to observe the County Council of the Thames thus early discus sing great questions which will soon be pressed upon the people by the exigencies of their situation, but which might be more pleasantly met by intelligent anticipation. The circulation of capital derived from outside and extraordinary sources may for a time create a fictitious prosperity ; but in a country which can lay no claim to trad ing pre-eminence and purely commmercial gains, our main reliance must be placed upon the wealth arising from well-directed industry within the land.

The census return for the colony pub lished in our last issue, shewing a total population of 414,171, discloses the remark able fact that the number of inhabitants has increased by 114,657 during the last four years, or by more than one-third the gross population in 1874.' The census of that year gave a total of only 299,514. The increase is unexampled in the history of the colony. The City of New York to-day was the beaver of the Auckland portion of the Suez and Tones Straits mails. | l_______l To the Editor : Sir,—With reference to the local which appeared in your issue of Saturday regarding the complaints of Mr William Rcilly and the other man alluded to, I have to state that their representations are not warranted by fact, neither of the men having been employed by the Ponsonby Board. ± believe they were employed by one of the con tractors for works in the district, who has been paid the'full amount coming to him under certificate of the Engineer to the Board.—Your insertion of this contradiction will oblige yours, &c, Geo. Wm. Jonks, Secretary Ponsonby District Board.

An advertisement published over the leading article in the present issue notifies that the share list of the Colonial Insurance Company will be closed on Tuesday next, June -tli, up to which date applications for shares will be received at any of thebranches of the Bank of New Zealand throughout the Provincial District of Auckland. Mr G. S. Graham, general manager, is also pre pared to accept fire and marine risks. The shareholders of the Moanatairi Gold Mining Company will hold their tenth annual meetinjr'on the 30th iust., in the Insurance Buildings.

The new school in City West, situate in Nelson-street, will be opened on the 3rd day of the coming month. Mr Tyerman delivered his concluding lecture last evening, in the Lome-street Hall. The subject "was, " Pressing Ques tions of the Times." The audience was not large, and the arguments adduced were of a sceptical character. Mr Tyerman leaves Auckland by the mail steamer for America. John Clarke, of Alexandra-street, who has been a member of the Auckland Fire Brigade, writes asking why the fire-bell at the junction of Queen and Grey-streets was not rung yesterday morning ou the occasion of the fire in O'Coimell-street. He points out that it is unfair to line members of the. brigade 5s for non-attendance at fires when belTs are not rung; and suggests that if the fire-bell referred to is unsafe it should be replaced by a better one.

Count De Zaba gave his third -lecture yesterday afternoon at the City East school, 'on "The best means of studying Universal History." The lecture, which was most interesting throughout, was well-attended. About 120 teachers were present. At the close of the lecture, a deputation was formed, consisting of Messrs Worthiugton, J. Martin, and Harrison, who were ap pointed to wait ujion the Board of Education, and thank them on behalf of the school teachers, for the generous services of the Count De Zaba, which had been productive of benefit in imparting right views in regard to the study of history. A soiree and ball will be held this evening in the Lome-street Hall, in connection with Orangeism. The lodge, " Young Diamond" 3 and 10, will unfurl their new banners. Tea will be on the table at 7.30, and the ball will open as soon as convenient after the repast. A band will be piesent, and other arrangements completed. The .Land Court at Hamilton has given iudgment in the application for the removal of the Court to Cambridge, deciding that all cases that can be disposed of in Hamil ton shall be heard there, but that all the cases in which the Ngatiraukawa are in terested shall be heard at Cambridge. A new Roman Catholic Cathedral is to be erected in Dunedin, at a cost of £26,000. It is proposed ultimately to provide accom modation for 2000 people, but in the first instance only £SOOO will be expended in the election of a nave and aisle to accommodate 800 persons. The Tairua Timber and Saw Mill Com pany (limited) is to be wound up. and. a meeting for that purpose will be held on the 4th of July next.

At the' meeting of St. James" Mutual Improvement Association, held last evening, an excellent essay on " The Scale on which tho Universe is Built" was read by Mr J no. MeCoskrie. The paper was well and care fully written, and evidenced considerable ability ou the part of the writer. At the close it was favourably criticised by the members present, of whom there were a large number. We understand that Messrs Cousins and Atkin have purchased the large brick building in Elliot-street, erected by Mi- Francis and Mr Smart, where they intend to make extensive alterations and additions, for carrying on their increasing business in the carriage-building line. The adjourned Licensed Victuallers' meeting will take place at Avey's Park Hotel, on Thursday afternoon, for the pur pose of petitioning the Licensing Court against the "ranting of any new licenses. We learn that Mr Richmond Thatcher, formerly agent for the Leviathan Cornet Player/met that famous personage at Hono lulu, and that they proceeded to San Fran cisco together in the same boat. Our in formant does not state whether or not there was a fight. 11 appeal s that Levy remained some time at Honolulu.

We are glad to learn that Mr Hawkes, the sailmaker on board the Sapphire, has been presented by his comrades with a valuable watch, gold Albert, and locket. The watch bore the following inscription: — " Presented by his shipmates to F. D. Hawkes, as a token of admiration for saving the life of Michael Begl'ey, who fell over board at sea on March 23rd, 1878. H.M. s. Sapphire, May, 1878." We have received a copy of a pamphlet descriptive of the Waiwera Hot Springs. It is neatly got up, and contains not only a full account of the hotel, baths, surround ing country, &c, but a careful analysis of the medicated waters, and numerous testimonials from well-known persons, who have gained benefit therefrom. On the first page there is an excellent lithographic view, taken from the best possible point of the bay, of baths and hotel, &c.; and on the second a portrait of Mr Robt. Graham, the proprietor of the Waiwera property. In the action, Burtt v. Maxwell and others, claiming £50 deposit on the purchase of the lease of the Western Springs, the evidence of which appeared last evening, His Honor reserved judgment until the 10th proximo, for the purpose of considering the evidence and the authorities submitted by counsel. • lExhibited in Mr Wayte's window are some very creditable specimens of pottery, the work of Mr James Wright, Paparoa, Kaipara. There are tea-pots of various patterns^ spittoons, pickle-jars, &c Those' who delight in encouraging local industry should inspect these goods, and strive; to encourage the higher branches of the potter's art. The articles are well made, and should, have preference oyer~_tlie imported goods. : f A, The meeting of the Bendigo Gold Mining Company lapsed for want of a quorum: The Bishop of New Caledonia was a pas senger by the mail steamer from Sydney to day.

In our issue of Friday last we gave a resume of the Government electoral pro posals, so far as they could be gathered from the speech delivered by the Hon. J. Ballancc. The Bill has now been circulated in Wellington, and a summary \of it was published in last night's "Post," from which, through the medium of our own correspondent, we are able to state with certainty the nature of its provisions. These are almost identical with what we had de duced from the forecast given by the lion, member for Rangitikei, and will, we believe, supply the basis of a modified manhood suffrage, acceptable to Parliament and the people. The bill retains the three qualifica tions under which votes can at present be recorded :—First —The franchise by right of property is retained, in virtue of which, a man holding property in any electoral dis trict will possess the right to be placed upon the elector.il roll for that district, and to. exercise his vote there. Second—The rate payers' qualification is' retained, so that a man whose name is on the Burgess List, will have it also placed on the electoral roll for the district. Thirdly—The household frauchise is retained, by which any house holder can have his name placed upon the electoral roll for the particular electoral dis trict in which he resides. What is new is " the residential qualification ;" under this, avy man who has been resident for six months in one electoral district in the colony can apply to have his name placed upon the electoral roll, although he may neither be a ratepayer, a householder, nor a freeholder. This residential qualification obviates the necessity for lodgers' qualifications and miners'right qualifications, both of which are abolished. Then it is fnrther provided that immigrants brought to the colony at tbeex--, pensedfthfiGovernmisntshaEiietbe allowed" to have their names placed upon: this elec toral roll under the residential plause until they have been -two years r in the colony. If these people, however, become ratepayers, householders, or free

holders, they can get on the roll at once by means of one" or other of these qualifications. Women who pay rates will be entitled to vote at the general as well as the municipal elections.l The " Post" observes, and we entirely endorse its opinion, that ' the measure is eminently liberal in its pro visions ; yet the great principle is never lost sight of, that no man shall be allowed to exercise the franchise in any electoral district unless he is either a bona fide resident in such district, or possessed of some property in it. By this means the floating population will be prevented from having any voice in the 1 elections. One other provision is, that under the residential clause those persons applying to be placed on the electoral roll will require to sign their names to applications, and inability to do so would bar registrations."

SIR JOHN COODE.

This eminent engineer, whose movements are surrounded with an atmosphere of mystery which appears to us utterly ludicrous, made a personal inspection of the Waitemata Harbour this morning, with the assistance of the harbour authorities and tne oflicials of the Auckland Harbour Board. The latter body was requested by the General Government to render all the assistance in its power, though the Board itself appears to be in some doubt as to who is to pay the rather heavy fees which will, of course, be charged by the eminent engineer. The most probable theory i^ that the General Government has in structed Sir John Coocnle to make the inspection and report, and will charge th expenses upon the Auckland Harbour Board. Sir John Coode embarked on board the little steamer Rotoiti, which is at present under engagement to the Harbour Board, at half-past eight o'clock this morning. He was accompanied by Mr Coode, Mr Mc- Donald, Mr Brigham, Secretary to the Board, and Captain Burgess, Harbour- Master. The Rotoitisteamed to St. George s Bay, the North Head, Stanley Point, and Acheron Point. Sir John Coode appeared to be much pleased with the picturesque appearance of the harbour and its capabili ties for mercantile purposes, but, of course, his opinions on the necessary improvements will not be made public until after they have been formally communicated to the Govern ment.

At 3 o'clock this afternoon Sir John Coode inspected the Auckland graving dock. We are unable to say what his precise opinions on this work may be, but enough has trans pired to shew that in Sir John Coode's opin ion he has arrived too late to remedy the long and systematic series of blunders which have been perpetrated by the Auckland Harbour Board.

Sir John was accompanied during the inspection by Mr BJackett, Engiueer-iu- Chief, Captain Burgess, and Mr Errington. Sir John expressed his opinion that the workmanship of the dock was substantial. After the inspection of the work, which occupied only a few minutes, he went to the office of the Engineer and examined the plans. Sir John Coode leaves by the out ward mail steamer.

The cutter Diamond, when bound from the Thames to this port, on Friday last, passed a huge carcase off Orere Point, which was believed by the captain to be the elephant thrown over by Messrs Cooper and Bailey from the Golden Sea. We are informed that a son of Mr Mays discovered one of the animal's legs on the beach at the North Shore several d;.ys ago. It is a pity, that the body of the brute could not have been obtained for the Museum.

The Christchurch Jockey Club has a credit balance of £139 17s 3d, as against 2s 5d in the previous year. Upwards of £400 of old debts have been cleared .off. The Club has endorsed the action of the Auckland Jockey Club in disqualifying J. McGee and O. McGee's horse Falcon. An application by McKay for removal of disqualification was refused.

Colonel Brett ,M. L. C, has sold his station at Mount Tarlesse for £11,000.

At a meeting of the Oiiehunga Borough Council last night, Messrs Ewett Brothers' tenders, £sSfor theroadway, and £72 for the footpath in Church-street, were accepted. Mr Cook resigned the office of engineer, and Mr J T. Boylau was elected in his place. It was resolved to offer £10 premium for water works designs, with the understanding that the successful competitor should obtain the work. .The " Herald" reporter was severely pitched into for what several Councillors deemed dis courtesy.

THE BRITISH OBJECTIONS.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION

OF EMPEROR WILLIAM,

RUSSO-AMERICAN PRIVATEERING.

LONDON, May 7.

Before entering the Congress, the British Government wish to remove all chaiice of misunderstanding. The principal pro visions of the treaty negotiations now peuding refer mainly to the limits of Bulgaria and the cession Of Armenia. England and France strongly object to the proposed extension of Bulgaria. A declaration has been made by Servia that she will not assist Russia in the event of war.

LONDON, May 12. Hoedel, the man arrested for an attempt to shoot the Emperor of Germany,.-denies the charge. He states that his object was to expose the sufferings of the poor by a pubiic suicide. He has been identified with the Extreme Social Democrats.

The captain of the Cimbria has received offers of 170 American steamships, but only forty-five are available as cruisers. He has consulted emineut American lawyers re garding the neutrality laws. Russian officers, agents, and seamen are arriving in America by almost every steamer from French and" German ports.

A Dreadful Family Disclosure.

Fiendish Outrages on Y ra „ Women. 0UQ S

(By Tklegraah.)

(From our own Correspondent.]

WELLINGTON, thi s day. A few weeks back a rumour whispered through one of the iar_e _i_? 8 on the West Coast of the Wellington p 8 vincial District that a young and attract!?: girl, daughter of one of the most hiw_j? respected residents, had given birth to child, and that her account of its oiintiw & so wildly improbable that even h" v A* family refused to believe her; that h mother's mind had given way'under th* blow which had fallen on her. When it • proved that the rumour was all too trueth suspicion of being the father of the child felt (apparently for no better reason than that it seems impossibleto suspect anyone else) on a married man, in whose family the girl was known to have been visiti_« a ' great many times for the last year. So hot did the popular indignation ajrainst the supposed seducer become, that, in order to clear himself as far as possible, he made a solemn declaration of his innocence before the Masonic Body. This, however did not clear him among non-masons, and for a week or two scandal was rife. Then came a change. A gentleman'who knew,but little of the girl casually learned the particulars of her treatment from one of her relatives and from its utter want of plausability and his happening to know that some females had been insulted in another direction about the same time, he thought, at all events, it might be worth while to make'a little inquiry, so as to ascertain whether corroborative evidence could be obtained. The result was that, within twenfcy-fonj hours, lie was able to lay before the girl's friends a mass of facts, which went to prove —as far as such a thing could he proved so Icing afterwards—that the poor child had b'.en violated at the very time and place her statement indicated, and actually to give c. clue to the perpetrator of the outrage. He ascertained, in fact, that, within a mile ol where the poor girl had been assaulted, more than a dozer, instances of indecent molestations of females, in different degrees, had occurred, within a few wseks before and after that event. He had reason to believe that there had really been others of which he was unable to get particulars. In two cf these last, actual violation was said to have taken place, and to have been hushed up, though in one case a child was believed to have been born. Still, other cases have been talked of since, so far as can be learned, all traceable to one offender. In only one case had infornia-' tion reached the police. The woman whose daughter had been molested had followed the fellow for some distance, with a view of getting him arrested, but he had escaped by leavingthe road at a oridge,makingthemost of the time which the woman lust in getting some men to come and search for him. She was able accurately to describe his appear ance and dress. In all other cases it seemed that the insulted females either could give no tolerable description, or-had been un willing to do so for dread of having to pro secute. Of course the friends of the poor. girl first-mentioned regretted having dis believed her. As the truth became known their neighbours were horrified to find what had been going on around them. The public sympathy which had been felt for the parents was extended in a far larger degree to the girl herself, whose only mistake had" been that, from mistaken delicacy, she had not told her friends what she feared had befallen her, and had apparently gone on hopipg against hope till hopes of conceal ment were no longer possible. Had she spoken at first the shock that unhinged her mother's mind might have been avoided, she herself and an innocent man saved from terrible suspicion. Strangely enough the portions of the girls' statements which •caused her at first to be disbelieved are now the very ones that most clearly prove her truth and innocence, siuce everyone sees that the ass ertions which appeared so un likely that her own family would not believe them till borne out by corroborative evidence, and of the very existence of which she could have known nothing, would never have been ventured on by a guilty girl try ing to hide her shame.

(From our own Correspondent.):: WELLINGTON, this day. In the Divorce Court to-day, was heard the case of Woolcock v. Woolcock and Waddell.

After his return from his Parliaments \y*-duties in 1876", he found the co-respondi tut, James Waddell, hsd been engaged by his wife to assist in the business. Mr Woolcock suspected that an improper intimacy existed between them, but for some time could obtain no possible proof. They lived in a house separate from the store, which was settled upon ftlrs. Woolcock. She at length refused to admit her husband to the house, and he had to take lodgings in town. Soou after this Waddell was imprisoned for assaulting an old man. On his release he went to Nelson, and Mrs Woolcock followed him. In the course of a feAV days they , lived at an hotel as man and wife, passing under the name of Osborne.

There is no channel among the many of every day life, that requires more careful navigation than the sources of sustenance for the human body. Diseases are engendered by the neglect of the ordinary rules of health in what we eat and what we drink; should, however, the system get out of order, there are no such safe quick restorers as those beautiful touic medi cines known as "Ghollah's Great Indian Cures.
