Mi Vogel was sensible that some sensation ■v us necessary to keep the' Government in -office, and propounded the Public Works policy. It says the scheme was not pro vided with proper checks, or .carried out with firmness and on principle, but railways ■were scattered on the floor of the House. lhe security which lhe colony was to have over land beneiitted was abandoned, and there was entire omission of reserves frem Crown lands adjacent to the contem templatcd railway lines. The expenditure was extravagant; it says Mr Vogel'shifted from aide to side, played with his policy and used borrowed money money solely to keep in porrer. He left us with an asset in rail ways nominally equal to about half the debt he incurred. We must give to Messrs Macandrew, Menzies, and Moorhouse the credit of the fust execution of successful railway works.

DEVONPORT MEETING.

[To the Editor of the Evening Star.] Sir,—ln last night's issue Mr C. Hooker em :pha<ically states tliat your " report of the above rneetinj^was not a correct statement of all that was said at that meeting, and that a mow one sided statement it was scarcely possible to publish. Everything a.ainst Mr Mays was care fully noted down while everything in the opposite direction wbs as carefully avoided." In reply I must refer Mr Hooker ti the rapoit which he probably has not rea3. Therein ho will see that as much prominsnes was given to Mr Mays address as to the trustees', and although Mr Hooker's milk and water remarks a^ainat the trustees wera qmit"-ed, so also were most of the EcathiDg strictures of Mr Allison and others. Mr Hooker will not deuy that on m onday after noon he told me at the, Post-office he considered "the report was afar one," but he caul 1 not understand why his remarks against the trustees were left out. (I assure Mr gHooker his re marks wen of the most harmless character.) To-day Mr Hooker acknowledged that " the report was fair as far aa it went." I have been accused in [the street with giving Mr Mays too favourable a show,so that hud I knuckled down to either side, I should have been in the position of the old man and his a=J3—a position I f<»ar Mr Hooker has assumed.—l am, etc., Your Reporter.

M'GARRIGLE IN AUSTRALIA.

Under the heading. " StrangeDisclosnres," the Sydney " Evening News" publishes the following examination of John M'Gamgle, formerly of Auckland, photographer : there was an examination meeting in the insol vent estate of John M'Garrigle, of Grafton, late of New Zealand, in the Insolvent Court on Friday. Insolvent was examined by Mr S. C. Brown for the assignee. He deposed that in June last year he came from New Zealand to Sydney. He then went to Graf ton. He carried on a large store and photo graphic buisness in Hew Zealand, where he resided for eighteen years, and had his pre mises destroyed by a fire. The insurance company disputed his claim but he recovered every penny of it amounting to £1,000. He then lost £i,600. Six months after the fire he sold out, and left New Zealand. He brought £6,000 worth of drapery and photo graphic; materials from New Zealand in May last year. He then had no landed property or interest in that colony. He took all his goods in forty-two cases to Grafton, where he bought a drapery busi ness for £400. He sold £55 worth of goods at Grafton. His house at Grafton had five rooms and a lobby upstairs. The photo graphic materials were packed on shelves in these rooms. He did not put them in his policy. Among the cases were household goods. He took Mr Thomas Bawden upstairs and showed the goods to him. He did not know within £1,000 what money he brought from New Zealand but he thought he had about £500. He left there £800 on deposit in the Bank of Australasia. He stowed the £500 in gold among the cases as the .safest place to put it in. It was put in three or four of the heavy cases and .stored at Smith's wharf be fore he took them to Grafton. He did not take the goods and money out of the cases all at once, but he took the goods out just as he wanted them. He put the money into a side cupboard after removing it from the cases which were first stowed outside his house in a detached kitchen. He took the last of the money out ot the cases when he paid the £27 5s in the Bank of New South "Wales at Grafton. He took no other money from .Sydney besides those in the cases.' He gave Mrs M'Garrigle £150 for household expenses. She put it in the till and it was destroyed in the fire. He owed nothing when he came fiom New Zealand. He had known Miss Campbell, a milliner, for six: years. She lived with him as a friend. He borrowed £500 from her in New Zealand, paying her 8 per cent interest for five or six years. He »aye her a bill of demand for the £500. Before leaving New Zealand, he proposed giving her the £500, but she would not take it and he lost it in mining speculations. When he came to Sydney he told her she could have the money at any time. At Grafton she asked for it, and he got £200 from the Bank of New South Wales and £50 from his wife. He gave her the £30 statin" he could not then give her the re mainder. She said she was going to invest the £250 At the time he had exhausted all his money in the cases, and was payingher £3 per week as a milliner. She lived in the house, and lost the money in the fire In February last several creditors sued him, and he entered pleas of never in debted. He admitted he owed the money, but the bills had not matured. c He told Miss Campbell to go to a solicitor She did so, and summoned him, but he did not. plead. It was not the same day that Miss Campbell got a judgment that he filed his schedule, on the 28th February, to protect his creditors against Miss Campbell and one Merton. He assigned his policy to Messrs Gannon and McLaughliU forthe benefit of his creditors, and gave Wallagh Bro hers an order for £150 Worth of goods aftef the fire. He got the goods as pait spent in passage -^fg^SSSIS penses. Afterwards he got *ma>>uu Campbell by cheque, the proceed, ofjg lie put in a cheat of drawers. He. gave ms. wife £10 a week for house oxponsea. M£ May. 8 he borrowed £26 more, was all gone. They were now living on Uici friends, who advanced him £7 .a ■ *eeK. The furniture t was Miss Campbell s<^ his request she took the house If £«°J the insurance money he was to pay herwi the use of it. Neither he not Mi»Caug_ bell were now in employment. lUe. ex amination terminated.

WELLINGTON, this day

THE RAINFALL.

The raiufall registered during the twenty four hours from, 9 o'clock on Sunday morn ing to 9 o'clock on Monday, was 2 -10 ins. Almost the Avhole of this fell between 9 and 1 o'clock yesterday. THIS HINEMOA'S PASSAGE.

The Hinemoa, with the members of both Houses, arrived in harbour at 12.37 p.m. yesterday, making the unprecedented quick 'passage of 12 hours 52 minutes from Lyttelton wharf to Welling ton wharf. The only passage bet.oen the ports ever made in anything like this short time was that of the Nebraska i"rom Wellington to Lytteltoii in 13 hours 10 minutes. No other run under 14 hours is on record, although the trip has becu done several times in 14 hours. The wind was light from the southward so far as the Kaikoura the sails flapping, from thence a hard southerly gale was experienced with heavy sea to arrival. The Taupo left at 11.30 p.m., 15 minutes beforathe Hinemoa, but the latter passed her four miles outside the Heads. The Taupo arrived at the wharf at 1,30 p.m., also making a capital run of 14 hours,: which has seldom been surpassed, ■elthough on this occasion it was eclipsed by the marvellous feat of the Hinemoa. . UNEMPLOYED IN WELLINGTON. A letter which appeals in a recent issue of the "Wanganui Chronicle," written by a Wellington working man, states that there are large numbers of unemployed in Wellington, chiefly single men, but some of them married men, who would be glad to leave town if they could get their passages paid and work guaranteed for six or twelve months. The writer also alleges that in Dunedin, Christchurch, and Auckland, there are an equally large number of men unemployed, but they cannot get away because they have not got funds with which to pay their passages. The "Post" made inquiries at some of the boarding houses in town frequented by working men and says : "We ilnd that the statement of the writer in the " Wanganui Chronicle" is borne out by all to Avhom we have spoken. It is variously estimated that there arc from I 100 to 150 labourers in Wellington at pre sent unemployed, who are both able and willing to work. Cf these, however, many would prefer to remain in town to take their chance of obtaining work. The only heavy contract now in hand is Tborndon reclamation. We were informed that there are already as many men at work there as can be taken on. The result of our investigation was, that we believe that there are in Wellington from 50 to 60 men who would be glad to proceed to Wanganui or any other town if their passages were paid, and work guaranteed ior a. special time. The Hinemoa leaves Wellington to morrow forLytteltou to fetch His Excellency and suite. LIABILITY OF BOAKDING - HOUSE KEEPERS. A curious ense was heard in Court to-day. A man named Fozie went to lodge at a boarding-house kept by a person named Beavis. At the end of the third week Fozie ran out of money, but left his swag as security. Subsequently he returned, and tendered the amount due, but the defendant was unable to give up the swag. Fozie sued, and recovered the full value of the swag. BAD WEATHER. Members speak in the highest terms of their treatment in the South. It has been frightful weather during the last three days—continuous rain with inter mittent gales. To-day the cellars of th c largest wooden building in the world are flooded. Heavy floods are expected in country districts.

AUCKLAND CHORAL SOCIETY.

ELIJAH.

No oratorio, except the ' Messiah,''has attained such popularity as Mendelssohn's ' Elijah.? Cer tahfly it is the work by which the composer will be longest remembered. In it the many thrilling; incidents in the life of the prophet are deplete^ with an almost startling vividity. The 'Elijah is essentially a dramatic oratorio. We have often wondered how far it is capable of perfor mance witli scenic effects. The scene between the prophet and the widow woman and the ram scene at the end of the first part, might we should think) afford full scope for Scenic illus-, tration. In the performance last night the flrnmotic features of the oratorio were studied with such a care as to reflect credit upon the conducfe (Mr. Rice). The first part was. ren dered intact : but the second part was disjointed and incomplete, owing to many omissions, and assumcTThc character of miscc laneous so ec tionsrather than a carefully planned series Another praiseworthy feature in last nights concert was the almost perfect order and atten tiVenessoS the part of the chorus and orchestra: in the audience there were except ons, rendered more prominent at times on the sudden cessation of thePmusic. There always ore two tends of concert-o-oers-thosc who come to talk and those who come to listen : but the former should try to bear in mind that what the others came to listen to is no« their conversation but the music. We once hoard of a capital rebuke administered to a party of chatterers at a concert. An old and ardent amateur was vainly endeavour infr to listen to the music, having next to him a party of loud and incessant talkers. Suddenly, the old gentleman uttered a loud ' Hush !' which caused one ot Ins neighbours to accolt 'him rather sharply, and to enquire, the cause of his ejaculation. O, I beg your pardon, coolly replied the other, 'but that confounded orchestra is making such a noise that I could nt hear what you were talking about. Hevxisnt trouUccl again that evening. To return however to our subject. To Mr. Brett was allotted the part of Elijah, and he deserves great praise for having found time, in the midst or his many pnblic engagements, to study and master the difficult music of the part. His singing has much improved since we last heard him, and exhibited a training of no ordinary kind. Un fortunately he rather overstrained his voice at the commencement of the oratorio, and some or the early recitatives were not so cliective as they might have been: but the air. Lord God ol Abraham,' and the solos in the ram scene were both of them very well sung.. His greatest success however was achieved in the air, it is enough,' which was rendered by him with an intensity of feeling that has never been excelled at any previous performance ot the oratorio in Auckland. Mr. Harkcr, who undertook the part of Obadiah, never sang so well, us last night. His rendering of the touching air, 'If with all rour hearts,' was excellent. Miss Edgcr's singing of the Widow s solo was admirable, full of pathos and expression • ami Mrs. Mitchell did full justice to the part oi the Youth, and sang the difficult aria . .Hear ye, Israel!" in a manner that left nothing to be desired. These ladies were most efficient loaders of the concerted pieces iv. the first mid second parts respectively. Miss A. Maunsell sang the beautiful air " Woe unto them " very exqui sitely : hi fact it was the gem of the concert ; and her rich voice sounded to its best advantage hi the recitatives allotted to her. The angelic trio "Lift thine eyes," by Miss Edgcr and the Misses Maunsell, fully merited the buz/ of applause which followed it, The part of the Queen was ably sustained by Mrs. Cavanagh; and the charming solo " O rest in the Lord, by Mrs. C4lovcr, lacked only more confidence on the part of the singer to place it among the best per formances of the evening. Of the quartettes, "For He shall give His angels" was fairly good; " Cast thy burden," very good indeed ; and O come, every one," very fair. In the ■first, the accompaniment was a little too powerful; and the last came too late in the oratorio to com mand the attention which it deserved. lhe band was excellent throughout in time and tune, and thoroughly up to its work. Mr. Swal low did good service with the pianoforte ; but the want of an organ is a serious defect in a performance of this kind. We are bound to admit that the strength of our Society mainly consists in its orchestra, which is, we behove, second to none in these colonies, lhe chorus mustered largely, and sang both steadily and well. The trebles were many and powerful; altos, few but excellent; tenors, few and weak; basses, many and strong. " Yet doth the Lord and the Baal choruses went particularly well; but the grandest of all was the magnificent "Thanks be to God," which was well worked up to the finish. In the second part, "Be not afraid" and "He watching" were the best. The chorus " Woo to him" was spoiled by an unsteadiness commencing with the basses and extending through all the parts; and again m the grandly descriptive chorus "Behold God the Lord passed by" a similar catastrophe occurred, and continued until the welcome advent of a pause brought everyone to gether again. We should add that the instru mentation in this chorus and in " Thanks be to God" was absolutely perfect. We understand that the Society will next rehearse Spohrs "Rnrt Thou art great" nnrl Maefarren s.can tata "May Day," both of them new to Auckland, and less 'difficult than the "Elijah," which, to say the least, is a hazardous undertaking tor any amateur Society. oIG^T A.

(Signed) J. H. HORNE, Returning Officer. X>ARNELL BOROUGH ELECTION. TO THE PARNKLL RATEPAYERS. (Per favour of Editor ISvenisg Star). Ladiks and Gentl^mkn,— Having oga;n con eented to stand for election r,o the oitSce o£ Councillc, 1 am desirous of not being mis understood by the burgesses of Parnell. You however will know pretty well what ray 1 ne o; conduct has beeo, although such "strange" devices are tried to cnlou>' my actions. JVJy desire has been to economise in the administra tion of Parnell affairs, to keep down trie rat •_, and have the money spent fairly ovr-r the Borough. I cannot here enter into full details, but would refer briefly to three matters of general inter-st to i-ate,paycr3, viz., JLccat Im provements, Peach's Contract, and Mr Mc- Miirdo'u claim, aud I hope the following ex planation will be satisfactory: — LiOCAi. Improvements.— Believing that the proposed cutting down of Manukau Hoad was not a work of necessity, flnd considering the greatexoen^eentaileaoiprop-rlyholdei-ijure-ed it was more desirable to expend tho money on tho roa'isin the out-districts, as they were more entitled to the extiendiiura than the Manukau Road, which had already absorbed nearly two thirds of the entire rates for some years past. I contended that the money should be equitably distributed on works most necessary, viz., forming and completing new otreet3 and roads. Thk Contract. —I wl«h merely to state that on the Surveyor informing the Board that tho work was not done to his satisfaction although previously having stated that it was done to his satisfaction, I moved in tho Council that the contractor should be at once called upon to complete the work to the satisfeciion of the Surveyor, Mr John Benjamin Stra«ge, v> Man notice was forwarded ; the conti actor comply ing by at once waiting on the Surveyor, who refused to x)o'nt out any defect in work or material and he has persistently refused to do so ever since. More surprising still, Mr John Benjamin treated the Council in the Same manner! The Council had arranged with hjrn tZ 2IV?\Y them OY6C the works, and point out the defects th-rcof. Ir. all fairness we thought it. right that 'ho contract should be present, all agreeing to this* he was jnyit-ed'o attend, but on the appointed day Mr St.auge hs'4 llte!.7 refused to meet his employ, vs, the Mayor and Councillors of .Parnell, mid it is a significant f.ict that he refused to meet them if the con tractor was allowed to be present. The con tractor was again put to u"ttcccssary (rouble, and instead of the question bein^r Qna'ly settled, it was left in a worse state than before, pimply through the obstructiveness—ihe culpable ob strncriveness of John Benjamin, and his obstinate refusal i;o point out alleged dufeclive pcrtioas of the works. Now I ask you rate payers, ladie3 and gentlemen, would Mr Ander son or any other competent or unprejudiced Engineer or Surveyor have acted in such an absurd manner I Me McMukdo's Claim.—l am compelled in explanation to otate that on the receipt of Mr McMurdo's communication informing the Heard of his accklcit, that tho Board elicited f cm Mr Strange tho intelligence that the ecoria had been spread previous to the accident, upon hearing which 1 proposed that a letter should be for warded by the Council to Mr McMnrdq, ex presfcinj? sympathy with him, but explaining that the Board could taka no responsibility, as their Surveyor had informed them tnut lucre was no scoria l jit unspread which could have caused the accident. Thi3 proposal wus not concurred in by the Council. I have endeavoured to promote the general welfare of the district, but 1 certiinly do not dictate to the Burgesses, who they shall elect. but should I again receive their confidence I Bhallj-trive honestly and fearle-sly to protect tho pockets, rights, and priviliges of those whom I represent. CALEB WOOD. j\/|B. C. WOOD V. PAETIAL TRUTH. Mr. Strange pocketed £220 of the Bates! What for? i.'id he steal them ? When? How? Speak truth, Kir.
