AKRIVAL OF THE MALAY FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

A fln« handsome-looking wooden barqnentme named the Malay arrived this morning from San Francisco after a rather lengthy passage of 63 days, caused chiefly bylierht winds.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 26, 1878

For the cause that acks assistance, For the wrong that neecls resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

"THE yellow agony" is becoming pro minent in Australia. In New South Wales, during the current year, 2888 Mongolians have landed, and swelled the ranks of the thousands of Celestials, who are already attempting to drive European labour out of the market. The noteworthy fact about these nomads is that, as in California, they are found to be more docile and more adaptable to the meaner kinds of employ ment than Europeans, but their principal recommendation, in these days of keen competition and high pressure living, is that they work for less wages and live cheaper than Europeans. The A.S.N. Company finds that it can man its steamers with Chinese crews at £3 per month, as compared with £7 demanded by the Seamen's Union. The A.S.N. Company, in order to econo mise their working expenses, resolved to employ Chinese in all the Companyjs steamers trading to.Fiji, New Caledonid,1 and Queensland, and this was the signal for an attempted surprise on the part, of the Seamen's Ilnion. ! (The captain of the steamer, *yictoria "was 'about, to leave the wharf at Sydney for,;Opokt6wnV.and .haft given the order "Let-go.those ropes^to bafc^c ■ astern 1" when the man tblwhomitHisforder v, as addressed coolly put on his jacket and walked ashore, followed by the, rest of the crew, apparently in conformity with

some pre-arranged plan; and the'crews o thit other vessels belonging to the Company Imitated the example. Ths movement wafi" in an orderly mariner, and the men actually left three or four Europeans below deck in., each vessel to present accident to life |br property ■from mismanagement of the engines and boilers. The Company was, however, on its mettle, and promptly replaced the remnants of the crews. Chinese were put on board the Victoria, Boomerang, and Coonanfara, which 'proceeded to sea. The strike of seamen Was followed by the strike of the wharf labourers. The Seaman's Union a&cribe their dissatisfaction to the fact that the Com pany imported direct from China, in tl.e Grunga, a number of Chinese sufficient to man three vessels, employed in the Inter-Colonial trade. The Union therefore resolved to precipitate a contest, in order to test public opinion. After, the strike they sent a deputation to the Direc tors of the Company, and an interview v,d& held which lasted three hours, and at which 1 the Directors declared their intention to employ Chinese only in boats trading in tropical waters. But this proposed corupro mise did not satisfy the men, who at once, intimated that they, would not resume work in any steamer where Chinese were employed. The Company's defence of is action is based merely on questions of economy. They are the rivals of the E. and A. Company, who systematically employ cheap labour, and they argue that in order to compete successfully with that opposi tion on the Northern Coast they must follow their example. On the other hand the men are plainly in right-down earnest, and, being amply supplied with funds from the Union, are not likely to calmly permit Chinese to usurp their livelihood, and rob their wives and families of bread. Following up its action against the company the Union organised a series of public meetings, at which a vigilance committee was appointed, subscriptions set on foot, and agents sent out to stir up co operation in Newcastle and other ports. It is said that the Seaman's Union numbers 1,500 men, and its objects are stated to be the creation ot a fund, the abbreviation .of the hours of labour, to harmonise the con flicting interests of employer and employed to use every legitimate influence to improve the condition of seamen, and to _ resist encroachments. Each member contributes Is a month, and the funds thus raised are designed to be devoted to such purposes as the present strike. The Union issued a kind of manifesto to firemen, trimmers' sailors, stewards, cooks, and others, setting forth its grievances against the company and its objects. Latest telegrams state that the struggle continues, though an effort is being made to effect a com promise on the terms offered by the Com pany. The employment of Chinese labour in these colonies cannot but be productive of demoralization and distress similar to that Avhich resulted from the system in California. It is absolutely intolerable that the industrial markets of the colony should be over-run by the plague of Chinese cheap labour, and that British workmen should be driven. to the wall by a horde of miserable mongrels who have no capacity for amalgamation with the dominant race, no sympathy with our customs, laws, institutions, and social life, no capacity for ~progres3 or improve ment, but must ever remain aliens, and the natural foes of Anglo-Saxons. To such a 1 gigantic length has the evil reached in the United States that the Legislature has been compelled by the pressure of public opinion to grapple with the problem, and the latest proposed remedy is characterised by a degree of daring originality peculiarly American. The opponents of Chinese immigration have hitherto found an insuperable obstacle in the constitutional aspect of the question. But a Mr Miller, who is a member of the Constitutional Convention of Sacramento is equal to the emergency. His plan is briefly this : " Chinese immigrants, when they arrive in the State, have no visible means of support; they are therefore vagrants in the meaning of the law until they obtain employment. While the authorities ftfM.nnfc inia.-*«~» with the C! unese,.._.on_. shipboard, they cair —arresrc —tnem aa vagrants as soon as landed. When 8,000 newly-arrived Chinamen are under arrest and in gaol they arc certainly, within the meaning of the law, a dangerous element to society, and under this section can be re moved from the State, and as most of the Chinese come here uuder contract with nothing in their pockets, nearly all could be captured as vagrants."

A letter on the fttaori.vote and an article on the approaching bazaar at Hamilton appear on our fourth prge to-day. A correspondent. writes respecting the recent burglary in the house of Mr Young Warren, of Newton, and states the servant girl had a curious dream previously to the effect that some burglars got into the house ; she saw them distinctly in her dream, and that her master was either robbed or killed. She also saw one of the local policeman, and informed him of the circumstance.

Rewi aud his wife and child visited-New Plymouth yesterday, and afterwards Taonui, a near relative of ilewi, and a chief. only second in rank to him, also came in.-.j The chiefs took upa quarters at the Masonic Hotel, where many of the old settlers assembled. The Hon. ;J. Sheehan, at whose invitation Rewi came in; proposed Rewi's health, which was duly honored. The chief, in responding, said he had not prepared a speech; and concluded by (drinking the health of Mr Sheehaa and Mr Parris. Mr Standish, Mayor of New Plymouth, also welcomed Rewi on behalf of the citizens. In the evening the great Ngatimaniapoto chief took tea with the Mayor, arid afterwards attended the performance of the Star Pantomime Com pany. The visit of Rewi to New Plymouth furnishes another proof of the friendship which he entertains for Europeans, and augurs well for the success of the March meeting, and the prospects of the Waikato- New Plymouth' railway. '

Much, difficulty was experienced at the Court of Petty Sessions this morning in procuring justices, only Mr Macffarlane being present. At length at 10.45 Dr Goldsbro' fortunately made his appearance, and the business was commenced.

The Rev. Father Henneberry continues his revival services with unabated vigour, and attracts thousands. The marquee last evening was very largely attended, there being at least 3,000 persons present. The Rev. Father expounded the subject of confession in his lucid style, and told anecdotes not devoid of humour and occasionally of pathos. The exponent of the doctrines of Catholicism is an early riser; and at half-past four the bell awakens the people from their nocturnal slumbers, and calls them to prayer. The missionary's discourse this morning was addressed to married women. Services will be held both morning and evening during the mission, there being no collection on week days. ' The forthcoming sports of the Amateur Athletic Club promise to be a great success. An excellent programme has been arranged, and the Commiitee have secured the use of the cricket ground in the Domain on which to hold the sports. Being so convenient to the city, a great number of persons should take advgntage of the occasion to enjoy the really good afternoon's amusement which will be provided.

The ordinary business meeting of the Auckland branch of the Hibernian Society will be held to-morrow evening, when all members are expected to be present. Instructions have been forwarded to the Agent-General to send out a superintendent for a deaf and dumb asylum. To the Editor : The report of young Warren being visited by burglars, brings up the question that I have often mooted, why the business people of Newton district have not requested one of the banks to open an a-eucy for a couple of days in the week; aud, without doubt, in a very few years, a permanent agency would be required. ll_ our local banks .won't take the matter up, let one of the other banks open a branch ; they have proof positive how suburban branches pay in the Australian colonies.— I am, &c, AGATHOS. , * Several days ago a portion of a boat was found in the harbour, and it was believed tlat it was the craft of a Frenchman named. Eel!, residing at Hellyer's Creek, and that he had been drowned. This, however, was not the case, as Bell brought down a load of firewood this morning. . The agent of the Scripture Gift Associa tion attended yesterday afternoon at the Panmure Public School, and awarded twenty nicely-bound New Testaments, and other books to the scholars, for home Bible exercises, and which were carefully written and repeated. Several ladies of the locality attended, and interested themselves m the proceedings. As per notice in another column, the acceptances for the Railway Plate Handi cap, Waikato races, closes on Wednesday evoning, at 10 o'clock. HThe Harbour Board has expressed its wil liugness to meet the Government in a liberal and equitable spirit. The Commis sioners, on the question of the reclamation of railways, leave Auckland this evening by the s.s. Kotorua. Mr A. G. Grant offered to-day a consign ment of American goods, paints, oils, &c. There was a small attendance of the trade, and only a few lines placed. The goods are on view for sale by private contract. A resident in Auckland has received a letter from a schoolmaster in the North, announcing the fact that the Maori school of which he was in charge has increased in attendance during the last three months by 200 per cent. There was formerly one scholar, and now there are three. The Hon. J. Macandrew visited Balclutha yesterday, and received several deputations. He expressed much sympathy with the sufferers by the late floods. The counties of Bruce aud Balclutha are expected to call for tenders for the proposed bridge, for which the Government have undertaken to lend a sum of for a period of five years, at a moderate rate of interest. The annual public meeting in Pitt-street in connection Avith the Home Missions will be fiheld in the church this evening, when addresses will be delivered by a number of ministers and other gentlemen. We are requested to state that a musical and dramatic entertainment in aid of the funds of the Davenport swimming baths will take place on Friday week, December 6th.

LATEST AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAMS. THE PROPOSED EMBASSY. (Press Agency.) BLUFF, this day. MELBOURNE, November 20th. The Embassy to England has been the prominent topic in political circles last week. It was fully debated in the Assembly, and gave rise to some of the noisest scenes yet enacted within the walls of the House. A section of Government supporters opposed the question, and took their stand on the amendment proposed by Mr Munro, that no embassy should proceed .AoJSogiand !«.*«***<> <*F*f*<>» or me country had Dcen" taken. Personalities were pretty freely indulged in, and talking against time, in order to obtain delay, was resorted to. As all this took place in com mittee members had greater license, and took full advantage of the opportunity afforded them. The chief secretary de clined to state the names of the ambassadors, but it is generally known that Messrs Berry and Pearson were two of them. Sir C. Duffy has declined to form one of the com mission, and announced his first intention to the House. Since then the vacancy has not been filled up, and Mr Berry, according to his own words, being unable to fix upon anybody who could add to the chance of success of the two remaining commissioner, has decided not to select a third, unless h,e can find any one with very special qualifi cations.

The division on Mr Munro's motion gave 47 to 43, leaving a majority' of thirteen to the'Governmenti In this division '83 out of a House of 86 members were all acccqunted for. The. Opposition hold thatthis majority is not sufficient to justify the embassy, especially in view of the fact that the country as a whole is not in favour of it. The Government on the other hand urge everything that could be done has been done, and that this is a last resort, which musi be carried at all risks. Mr Berry expresses his belief that the.soundjudg ment of the colony is liberally in favour of;, the course proposed by Government, and that even supposing the Imperial Government to object to legislation in any way, the embassy will be able to change the relations with Downing-street, make responsible Government in the colony more welcome, and do away with the uncertainty in the law promulgated from Downing-street. i - The intentions of the Government were clearly expressed by the , chief secretary in addressiug the meet ing at Sale. He indicated that there would be two requests which' the Im perial Government would be invited to con sider, one asking that power might be granted to the Legislative Assembly to carry measures over the head of the Council, the other that the Governor of the colony" might be freed from the control, now exer cised over him by the Secretary of State in Downing-street. In the event of a refusal, Mr Berry declared that the country would have to consider whether it was prepared to - submit..._ Eor-his.part he would accept no refusal as decisive ; and if unsuccessful in England, would return and con tinue the agitation here. The Council have drawn up a long manifesto de tailing the whole history of deadlocks, which will be added probably to-day, and sent liome by next mail to the Secretary of State. Under present arrangements the Embassy proposes to leave by the December mail, and will be absent about six mouths.

At the Presbyterian Assembly yesterday a deliverance in favour of Sabbath obser vance was adopted. The Rev Charles Strong expressed himself in favour of opening the library and Museums on Sun days. His remarks caused some sensation, and opinions were expressed that he ought to be called to the bar for uttering such sentiments. •

The Mayoral Election.

The nolling for the election of Mayor for formed very strong committees. me members of V Peacock's Committee met List night, when the following resolution was carried unanimously :-<< Regarding the scandalous reports which have been circulated for political purposes, to the effect either that Mr Peacock had applied to have his late father admitted to the Ulci Men's Refuge, or that. he. had been an inmate of that institution, this meeting IS thoroughly satisfied, after full enquiry, that the same are false and utterly without foundation. And further, having heard an explanation made by Mr Peacock winch has been verified to the fullest extent by those acquainted with the facts, amongst. others Mr Burton and Mr Cambie, with whom MrgPeacock, sen., lived iov t a considerable time before his death, this meeting is perfectly satisfied that the conduct of Mr Peacock towards his late father was most praiseworthy and ex emplary.—D. GOLDIE, Chairman 01 Committee." With reference to the above scandalous, report, which has been very assiduously circulated throughout tho city, we have had handed to us a number of names with the request that we should appoint a re porter to make an independent inquiry and publish the result, for the purpose of putting an end for ever to the statement. Apart from any temporary election feeling, but in justice to a citizen who has always borne the highest reputation for probity, we have complied with this request. One of our reporters this morning instituted very careful inquiries, waiting upon Dr Philson, Mr John Graham, and others connected with the institution, with the result that we have no hesitation in declaring the report an infamous and unwarrantable slander. We'also find that the late Mr Peacock was treated in the most kindly and considerate way up to the time of his death, and that some of those who have circulated a con trary report must have known when they 1 did. so that it was absolutely false. Mrs Burton and Mr Cambie, with whom the late Mr Peacock lived to the time of his death state that the deceased gentleman was treated with the greatest consideration by his son, that the strongst feelings of regard seemed to exist between them, and that all the old gentleman's wants were supplied with all the thoughful care which filial affection could devise. They received in structions to spare nothing in order to make the deceased gentleman comfortable. Dr Philson, the medical attendant of the late Mr Peacock, confirms this statement from his 'personal observation. Good-humoured election squibs are allowable, and are the life of a contest. In the South the papers have been filled and the walls covered with such effusions respecting rival candidates. But everyone muist deprecate false and calumnious attacks on private character. We have received a number of letter 3on the election, but such communications are, properly-speaking, advertisements, and can only be published on the usual terms.

OPERATIONS AGAINST THE

REBELS,

NOUMEA, Nov. 6. During the past fortnight there have been several combined movements against the. rebels in the Poya and Boularpari districts, carded out by the friendly natives and regu lars. The rebels are still infesting the Boularpari district, from which it washoped they had been chased almost completely. Day by day they are reduced in numbers. Their case is hopeless. It is supposed that on one or more occasions, they were en deavouring to hold communication with the postes, perhaps with the objectof surrender ing ; but as they on all occasions approached in a furtive manner through the bush and the idea is^a conjecture merely, based upon the fact of no flag of truce hav as yet been borne in by the rebels. '.Their audacity and courage is certainly such as to .excite., admiration. ,iFor savages, armed :WithC .spears, clubs/ and slings, only, except; \, a few .guns^T _ which-" "they x a.r,e unable! to use to any practical effect'as ft jgeiiefa^lrjJle,.;to° attack: tliejr. well-aMed WMte.eflemiiss^Vmght-after'^nigßti b'ur/mhg 'dwellings. iinder p t^e' very I'©!' the a£ it were; .displays a d^rin'g^fiich }%,P"' va^pfty 'JM^ "npt!^ev'cised'iu a better cati^e.; T am vassurßd that"every1 precau "tiopf jg'exei'cised, at time^ >Velx; by old expenefic^d1 colonists1 'artd gobdr'b'ushfre^, ---1 ta Jdrop 7up6n them drt the first sign of ,tlieir appeamnce—hordes ' kejit saddled, ai'ins

It is now eenpr^i^ar ceded that the only way +1 "^ them is by the attacks of the other J'^ aided by the military, whose most v i X ' aid is rendered to the supp ressio *aW rebels in the deatruchon of their w, .'M;-. existence. TJiis is most rigorouslyl °f carried out by all who are operating eS"S the revolted tribes,—many hundV!^'■■ friendly natives aiding, as only th °f in the work so congenial to their-™;!- HORRIBLE FEROCITY mcts. A most, horrible instance of fern •; ' lately come to light. At the tiSK murder of the man Chene and hi a < T; for which the chiefs were imSr'^ Boularpari, just before the revolt brolr a{ a.black woman, sister of ths one liviJ, Chene, was spared. She, .however W:: to folio vv the black to whom she Stl- off, one of the murdering band.

The Northern districts are held in,. : plete check by Commandaae dcs Esaii?' whose plans and actions excite oSi admiration. Colonel Wendling is to ! f Poya during the week, making Itldsmir tary head-quarterg. An attack is" S" made simultaneously from all quarters X: friendly tribes, soldiers, sailors, and' aroiH colonists upon the rebels in the fastness If Adio, which will result in a very saluta lesson to the blacks, who feel themseiw! invulnerable in their almost inaccessihi! rocks and caverns. Fifty sailors of "tip: frigate Loire and 100 soldiers have jmiZ ' operate against the rebels ; so that now what with friendly tribes and>, aimed whites, they are very much outnumhprp^ ATTACK ON AN ENTKE.NCHEn ' POSITION. '

October 24tL Two hundred friendly natives and-fifteen"" soldiers left Houailou, on the east coast for Poya and Adio on the west. Here, in con, junction with other forces, they attacked the rebels in their rocky fastnes a es.; The friendly natives behaved splendidly,- and the rebels fought in like manner. Mount. ing the rocks, the assailants found their pro. gress into the caves barred by timber barri cades, somewhat after the style of the paha in New Zealand. It was impossible to penetrate, or to fire into the .tortuong caverns. But the rebels showed brave front, keeping up the fight from dawn: till dusk. The fight lasted three or rour'days during which, according to some, from 80 to 90 of the rebels were killed or wounded. They fired over 200 shots at their assailants but not one took effect, evidently owing to their aiming too high, as would be the case if they put up the full length sight slide, which they probably do. Four or .five friendly natives wounded. No other casu alty. Several guns and phroder recovered from the rebels. Various stations visited during the part day en two, in the Poya district. Nearly all ifound devasted. Bight corpses, from the massacre in September, found and buried on ;different stations. In the stock-yard on the'station'ofi Monsieurs Escaude and Francois fifty-one head of cattle were found starved to death. The bodies of the Khul family foundwhera ' massacred in September. . An operation against the Poya and Adio men. Several killed, amongst whom the minor chief Marambrn, who dealt the firbt axe blow upon Mavimoin,' the chief of Neckliai, on the day that poorjHouddillo was massacred. ~ ■■■■■ •' ■•• ■ - .-,.. ■'. ,/■■:■:■;;.'; 29thi-"SV An expedition started from Bonlarparidistrict to attack the rebels at ArtauS.

During the night the rebels at Bourail made a descent upon the Government farm, and sue- ■ ceeded in burning a maize shed containing ten tons of maize and five tons of maize straw, valuable for stuffing mattresses when shred fine. Four attempts at firing the, sugar-cane during one night. Kvery night the rebela attack, in some quarter or other, at Bourail. The colonists work (armed) upon their farms j during tbe day, and coUect in the blockhouses of a night with their faaiiliea. These^ block-! houses are rough forte constructed .hv: tho x principal valleys, and held by a few soldiers who are supposed to be ever ready to:rnsh to the rescue upon any alarm being giyeni" Not : long since the rebels burnt the infirmary ' chemist's shop in Bourail, within a fow yards . of the soldiers' poste. They are not in very .V great terror of the soldiers evidently. In a march, lately, the Colonel came to a camp; where he found the arm and lesr of a European freshly cooked. They probably belonged to one of the two men lately killed when im prudently venturing without suppqrt'intt tha rebel district. , : -;-;--iii' EMPLOYMENT OF DYNAMITE;::

Nothing new of importance reported. Prepara tions being made for a grand;, attack upcln the rebel retreats at Adio. It is to be hoped tliat the marvellous power of dynamite will astonißh the savages, when they see the rocks shattered and caverns burst up by its employment. The description of the fastnesses "conveys an idea of immense strength. Situated amoDgat enormous rocks, the entrances of the caves areblqckedmj by huge stones, which drop into the inverted.T shaped openings, and cut off ■entrance!to the caves save by the most hazardousmeansfptan' enemy to adopt. It is said that in some instances rocks are-so-balanced upon each other thafonly the'initiated can' pass without displacing.them, and even the initiated have to be very nH>iJkeJ- like in their movements. Such strongholds would defy to starvation's point.'the- ; naave savflgo; but, surely the power of civilised ;war zauiiiuuns vviJl soon reduce them. .*', ,;.i,'^''' ■■■.■ y " '' :; " -6tll,
