The conviction ot Hunt, formerly _of Auckland, for participating in the lynching affair at Samoa, and his imprisonment at Levuka, establishes a most important pre ccdent, and one of great interest to mercan tile men of Auckland who atib largely engaged in the South Sea trade. "It will be remembered that when Captain Fernandez | preferred in Auckland a charge of attempted murder against 11. B. Sterndale, arising out of the ([iiarrel at Suwarrow, it wa» held that the Courts of New Zealand Had no juris diction ; and there is a prevalent belief that in islands outside the pale of civilized rule the rude law of force alone holds sway. It I was acting under this impression apparently, I and fortified by Sterndalo's case in New Zealand, that ' Hunt became a partici -1 pator in the lynching of the mur derer Corcoran. The circumstances were these : Corcoran, who claimed to be an American subject, was brought before the United States Consul, and con victed upon pretty clear evidence of fatally stabbing a man in a bar at Samoa. He was ordered to bo taken to Americiv for punish ment, and with that object, was placed on board a schooner. A meeting of the white residents of Apia, held immediately after the trial, came to the unanimous determina tion that Corcoran's punishment should be more expeditious and certain; the murderer was forcibly removed from the vessel, and conducted to a gallows, speedily improvised, where he was executed Avith. the usual ceremonies of lyncli-law. Hunt took a very prominent part in these proceedings. Shortly afterwards he was arrested, and brought before Sir Arthur Gordon, Governor of Fiji, in virtue of the powers vested in x^i- Vvnaiifi.ncv as "High Commissioner of Polynesia. Omi*« <-i_:_ — • —. as will be seen presently, a Court of British Jurisdiction has been established beyond the recently acquired colonial posses sions of Fiji, extending, indeed, to all the islands of the Western Pacific. The Imperial Order in Council declares :—■" All her Majesty'sjurisdiction exercisable in the Western Pacific Islands in criminal and civil matters, shall, subject and according to the provisions of this order, be vested in and ex ercised by the High Commissioner's Court." The Order further provides for appeals to the Supreme Court of Fiji against any de cision of the High Commissioner. Hunt was tried before Sir A. Gordon for his part in the death of Corcoran, which, under English law, amounted to murder. He was found guilty of conspiracy to murder, and sentenced to one year's im prisonment. Availing himself of the right of appeal, the case came before His Honor the Chief Justice of Fiji and asso ciate JHdges. The grounds of appeal were : _]st, That the Order-in-Council creating the Commissioner's Court was not promulgated until February last, and th,e olFence for which Hunt was incarcerated was committed the November previous, and the Court had no retrospective jurisdiction. 2nd, That the acts com mitted by Hunt did not constitute an offence in the territory where they occurred, and the Courts of Fiji could not declare to be a crime in Samoa what was not so recog nised by the country itself. 3rd, That Hunt had been indicted both for murder, which was a felony, and conspiracy to murder, a misdemeanour, and the indict ment, therefore, was bad. And 4th, That Hunt had not taken a guilty part in • the execution Corcoran, but had rather used his influence to miti gate the sufferings of the unhappy man, and administer spiritual consolation. The last two objections—the one technical, the other relating to a matter of fact of restricted application —we need not refer to er-ruled than to observe that the Court; ov as good both, holding that the indictment w reven at law, and Hunt had taken part in ptitutes ting the man's return to the United ution consul and in carrying out his exec ques. The other two points raise the whole tion of jurisdiction over the unclaimed islands of the Pacific. In confirming the right to retrospective authority, his honor said that the^objection lirged against the High Commissioners Court would, if well founded, circumscribe the action of all other Courts. " Thus," he continued, '' the juris diction of the Supreme Court of the colony would be limited:by the date of its creation, while, in point of fact, if? constantly deals ■with disputed questions occurring long an terior to its organization." And he went on to shew that any'idea of the kind was based upon a misconception of the judicial authority. The functions of Court?, he said, were merely a delegation of pre existing powers; or, to express it in his own words, " Courts of law exercise their powers not from attributes inherent in them celves, whenever the particular individuals necessary to constitute a Court are appointed —they exercise the jurisdiction of the Crown, which is the fountain head of all judicial powev." He showed that the Constitution conferred upon the Crown the right to judge British subjecta for crimes committed on foreign territory. And, moreover, there were specific statutes which provided fors a complete control over British subjects living or sailing in the South Seas as if they were resident upon British soil. The second ground of appeal was admitted by the Chief Justice to have considerable cogency, and receives support from a decision by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which declared that, " Al though any nation may make laws to punish its own subjects for offences com mitted outside its own territory, the general principle of criminal jurisprudence is that the quality of the act depends on the law of the place where it is done." The Chief Justice said that if any law had existed, even in Samoa, in conflict >vith the English law, he would have hesitated before disregarding it; but as no laAv at all existed, such doubts could not arise. The

four grounds of objection, therefore, were over-ruled and the conviction sustained the particular case from the general fact which it establishes, it should be observed that the creation of the new o<u"t changes the whole character of judicial authority in the South Seas. Fiji 'heroines the centre from which justice will be' administered, and lawless acts re pressed among British subjects scattered throughout the barbarous islands of Polynesia., On this point His Honor said ;—" It is clear Hiat the erec tion oppbeSiew Court took awscj the powers previously vested in any other Courts. The Supreme Court of New Soufh Wales, for example, even if the Act of George were otherwise in force, could not now try any of Her Majesty's subjects for offences com mitted in the Western Pacific, except under section 52 of the Order itself, any more than it could try for offences bommitted in Ney Zealand after the consitution of the Supreme Court of New Zealand." The establishment of-*this central source of judicial authority.^svith the poAvers||the deternination, and the facilities, by means of moji-of-war, for protecting British sub jects feroughout the wide domain of South •Sea tiding enterprize, which is annually mciw l g i> g ) w jj| jj e v i ev/ec i w ith unmixed satistac^ i n fl^g co i O nie9.- The first act ot tne Xigh ciommissioner has been as sertive ot the dow fall of mob rule and the elevaton^of law or( j e r, and it appropriate marks the w ' era i n Polynesia.

ARRIVAL OF THE SUEZ MAIL.

No further tidiiijg of the schooner Helen were received in to\u to-day.

The usual mid-witor holidays of the pupils of tha various public schools in this city commenced to-diy, and will end on Friday next. The Grunmar School holi days, which have extended over a period of three weeks, will tenunato at the same timc,*n4& studies will h re-commenced in the District Court-houso <v Monday next. An accident which rnigit have been at tended with Tinpleasan* consequences occurred in Queen-street diring the early part of to-day. The heavf glass in the verandah of Mr McDonald, fruiterer, has been cracked for some tiino,*iud this morn ing it got displaced by the wild, and came pelting down in largo jagged ]j&ceH. Had any persona happened to be passing at the time their head* mutt infallibly lure been aid open. * A gazette of June 20th proclains the Au)kland Dog Nuisance Act, 1854, 1, force in the Co inty tf Hobson defines the boun daries of land taken for a road in Pakunnga dissrict; extend the time for hearing, ob jecti°nato the County roll in Ngungurudft ing, Wangarei County ; contains reglllatns for '" delayed telegrams"; authorises the col lectors of Customs at the following portsV> to issue (.licenses in the Auckland district Auckland, Thames, Russell, Mongonui, Wangarei, Hokianga, Tauranga, Poverty Bay; gazettes C.

Tolc Esq., Receiver of Native Land Duties ; aud appoints J. A. Wilson Esq., a Judge of the Native Land Court. The Committee of the Working Men's Club have purchased a piano from Messrs Hoffman and Sons, and on Saturday night, an inaugural free concert was held in the large meeting room, several gentlemen of talent assisting. The concerts will be held at short intervals, probably weekly. A telegram in another column states that communTcation between Wellington, New Plymouth, and Waitara is expected to be restored to-day. Speaking of the row on Saturday evening, Sub-Inspector Pardy remarked at the Police Court this morning that un less rowdyism was put down with a strong hand in a short time the young "hoodlums" would become as great a nuisa—. __ ,„ o EY.nn^isco and Mel bourne, and no respectable persona, -ivom»«. especially, would be able to walk abroad at night. , Mr Dillon and Miss Pender are not coming here after all. Satisfactory arrange ments could not be come to, so they have gone to Dunedin. The City Council paid into its credit at the bank to-day the sum ofJ£3,SSO, received from publicans' license fees. Hotel property in Auckland appeals to be rapidly rising in value. It was only the othei day that we noticed the fact that Mr M. Corcoran, after three days ownership of the Thames Hotel, had sold out to Mr Stewart for a sum of £700 over what he had given for it; and now we learn that Mi- Gallagher, who took the Metropolitan Hotel this morning has since sold out to Mr Corcoran for £800.

The fishing yacht, Sea Belle, about the safety of which fears were apprehended re turned to the harbour yesterday.

The ordinary monthly meeting of Lodge Ara will be held this evening at the usual hour, at the Masonic Hotel. The noontide prayer meeting to-day, under the auspices oi the United Evangelistic Committee, was led by the Eev. Wm. Kirk, of Pitt-street Wesleyan Church, at tne Young Men's Christian Association Rooms.

Ihe Pakuranga hounds met on Saturday afternoon at the homestead of Mr Joseph Bainbridge, and had one of the finest hunts of the season, but without bringing home the victim of the sport. On the return to the Mangere farm, Mrs 'Bainbridge enter tained the sportsmen at a good luncheon. Mr J. B. Str,tnge, who is now in the 76th year of his age, has retired from the position of Town. Clerk to the Parnell Council. We understand that Mr Leers is his successor. Mr Strange is still vigorous, hale, and witty, and is a.living example of the value of a life of regularity and tem perance. A distribution of prizes to the children ot the Pokeno Jublic school for well-executed Scripture exprcises, took place yesterday afternoon in connection with the Scripture Gift Association. The happy interest manifested bj the scholars was unmistake able and grttifying to the friends of the school who WJre present.

There is, no doubt, great difficulty in checking the "rowdyism" which is the curse of our Theatre on Saturday evenings, but somehow or other it must be done. At the great Ifest-end Theatres in London, such as the Victoria, Britannia, and Grecian, wljere from 2,000 to 3,000 working people assemble every Saturday evening, rioting seldom, if ever, occurs. Between the acts, gallery and pit indulge in friendly chaff, but wJcn the performance is going on the faintest noise is resented. The fact of the matter is the management station persons in various parts of the theatre to check obntfdous noises, and besides this, no person vho appears the least, the worse for liquor hpn any account admitted. The Bapiist church, Wellesley-street was crowded lait evening, by persons in addition to the regular attendants, who were desirous of,witnessing the administration of the ordindice of baptism by immersion. The candi/ates -were seven in number, throe young met and three young women, and a man in jears. Key. Allan W. Webb preached fin impressive sermon on the occa sion fiomths Ist Epistle of St. Petur iv. 18 —" And { the righteous scarcely bo saved, where sliU the ungodly and the sinner aj>pear ?")

The bjdy of the late James Bond was consigned to its last resting-place yesterday afteraooiiiu the cemetery. The members of the Q-der of Oddfellows, and a large number ;f persons who held deceased in much reject joined the funeral procession and foltyved after the carriages in which were the^mmediate relatives. The funeral service \jas delivered by Rev. J. Robertson, minister! of Beresford-street Church, of which deceased was a member. Major Derrom also read the funeral charge of the Order o Oddfellows, in .accordance with the exp'essed wish of Mr Boud.

A very pleasant ceremony took place at the City West No 2. Public School on the afternoon of Friday last, prior to breaking up tor the midwintei holidays. Mr Grey, one of the teachers, who has lately been ap pointed Head-master of the Waiotahi Creek School, was presented by Master H. o-oia— water, on behalf of tha pupils and teachers with six handsomely-bound volumes of Ten nyson's poems, as a mark of esteem for his kindness and patience in imparting instruc tion to the young people placed under his care. Mr. Gray feelingly replied, express ing his thanks for the kindness lie had ex perienced during his connection with the school, and promising prizes fo the scholars at the Christmes holidays. The boys Avere presented by Mr. Gray with a large foot ball.

At the Police Court this morning Mr Barstow, in. cautioning a lad who was accidentally taken up through being in front of a crowd on Saturday night, stated that a man was liable to a heavy lino or two months' imprisonment for merely forming one of a crowd which passively obstructed the police in execution of their duty. In future it was his intention to send persons wilfully obstructing or assaulting the police to Mount Eden without the option of a line.

It is stated that Mr Robert Gillies will be'a candidate for the seat in the General Assembly for Roslyu, vacant by the resigna tion of Mr. Burns. Messrs W. H. Cutton and H. Snow are mentioned as probable candidates for Taiori district. The Temperance meeting in the Albert sfciw. Hall on Saturday was presided over by Mr s^] m Waymouth, who spoke of the universality o f temperance principles. Mr Richards, fio.^ America, was the speaker of the evening. i{ e secured*the attention of his audience from by« first, and was several times greeted with appHuse while illustrating the tenacious character for the taste of alcholics at shown in his own experience, and the need of more tban human aid to overcome it. He dwelt upon the great advantage which would result if the money and labour expended in purchase avid manufacture of stimulenta could be turned into a worthier channel. At the close of his address he pointed out the distress and suffering entailed upon women by the indulgence in sti nulaufcs of the other sex, and appealed to the manly sympathies of his audience for their hearty endeavour to diminish it. Mr Carson gave a song " We go a Crew to Save." The meeting was closed with the National Anthem. Mr S. C. Coulton, late of the Masonic Hotel, Napier, and of the Masonic Hotel, Gisborue, has assumed the proprietorship of the Albert Hotel, Queen-street. Ihe reputation of this Hotel is too well known to require further comment. 'Ihe new proprietor has had large experience, and will, we have no doubt, fully maintain the excellent character of the Albert. Mr Coulton intends to make considerable altera tions to the hotel, which will add greatly to the comfort of visitors. It is about time that the attention ot the authorities was directed to the state of the footpath in llobson-street, from Captain McGregor's house to Cook-street. About a jnonth ago it was rooted up, apparently for the purpose of re-mending, but save and accept that some scoria has been carelessly thrown over a part of it nothing has been •done, and it is a perfect quagmire, ancle deep in mud in places. *The effect of tlio vivid 'lightning on Saturday afternoon was felt in several pUccs. One flash entered the factory rooii of Mr Kohn, jeweller, where there wer* eight or nine persons, and after passing from one steel tool to another, it disappeared dow tie gaspipe. The incident, although not attended with any serious consequences, caused mich alarm amonast the employe's. A movement is on foot amongst /the principal residents of Hamilton to have the railway station in order that the terminua may be at the bridge crossing the river.

Desperate Affray in Queen St.fse

Attempi'W Rescue a Prisoner I | Shortly after the commencement of H • ! . second act at the Theatre, on b&Uy^- : I ■evening,'soiniroisturbance "was causei. by j drunken female, and. two men evidently v ; I the same'condition.

He was carried 1 door, when the prisoners ni£ man named Robert Craig, mterferei this time they had got, into the between the Theatre and the Union and were followed by the "gods fr< pit Constable McDonald eucceede some difficulty hi getting the hai ■ on, and Constable Law took him oft ~ - station. Meantime, Craig, who had been arrested by Mulville, got the better of tua man with the assistance of the crowd, and Constable McDonald's arrival was almost too late to prevent the escape of the prisoner. A desperate fight now ensued, and blows were frequently aimed at the constable by those gathered ronnd. The hooting and yelling from the crowd, which numbered about 300 persons, was very disgraceful. Constable McLennan arrived at "a very opportune time, and charged into the' crowd to the assistance of his comrades. Notwithstanding the efforts of the " hoodlums," Craig was got over in front of the shop of Mr Short, hairdresser. Hove another clmrge was made by a number of the crowd, whose enmity against the police appeared to be very great. Furtner assistance was obtained in tho person of Constable Strathearn, in plain clothes, who protected the arresting constable on one side, while Constable McLennan did the same on the other. Bfth Constables Mc- Lennan and Strathearn held out bravely, and displayed admirable pluck in opposing the excited, and, at the same time, cowardly mob, who were intent on rescuing Craig and doing some injury to the constables. Constable McDonald stuck to his prisoner bravely, and showed not the slightest ap pearance of fear. At this time, themultitude gathered round had increased to about 800 persons, and their cries for the rescue of Craig were really deafening. After holding out bravely for afehorfc time, further assist ance was obtained in the persons of Detec tive Jeffrey and Constables Murray, Dyer, McGovein, and Hutchinson. Every mo ment the excitement became greater, and the yells of defiance from the mob louder. On reaching Messrs T. and S. Morrin's store, several other constables ami Mr Sub-Inspec tor Pardy and Sergeant-Major Mason ar rived. Surrounding their prisoner in a close body, the police charged boldly through the crowd, and succeeded in reaching Durham street. A number of ston.es had already been thrown, and serious consequences were apprehended. Mr Superintendent Hughes, of the Fire Brigade,airested one of the ringleaders, a man named George Hart, and handed him over to the custody of Constable McGovera, On reaching Dur ham-street, the crowd pressed onward, still intent on a rescue. The prisoners were sent to the rear, and, Mr Pardy rallying his men, ordered the mob to disperse, and gave order to the constables to arrest any man who refused. After some trouble the order was carried out, and the hoodlums dispersed, threatening vengeance to the force ir general. We have nothing but praise foi the police in the "wholeaffair. At the corn lnencement, when Constables" Mc'DdnaTrd, McLennan, and Strathearn were opposed to the crowd, they maintained perfect equanimity of temper, and showed them selves to be able to maintain their own. Their conduct throughout certainly deserves -i ;.:l . 1.. '■■:■■.. ".... . i<AC. };"-""■>-«-, - ■ ii -: ; :y.-i: ■::.• ;,ia,;:.: u ' .■■ U ■; ! ~- . ■:■ ho.-Uw.i. b:.

TnE Safety of Dynamite During Transport and Storage. Extracts from the Official evidence given before the House of Commons Select Committee on Explosive Substances—Parliamentary Ses sion of 1874, London. Eoxes filled with dynamite have been thrown from a great height, and found to sustain any amount of shock without exploding. They have also been placed upon an open tire, when the dyuamite burned slowly away without ex ploding.—Parliamentary report—Blue Book, Dynamite has been in a railway collision, and, though tho van and boxes containing it were broken, no explosion took place.—Blue Book, page 182, par. 2979. Maior Maiendie, R.A., H.Ms. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his evidence (page 18, par. 100), that the law re lating to dynamite is as much too stringent as the gunpowder law is too lax; and (page 20, par 115) that the time ht.s como f.r relieving safe nitro-glycerine preparations from such un necessary restrictions as the nitroglycerine Act mposes upon them.
