ONEHUNGA RAILWAY.

Diabolical Attempt to Upset a Train.

THE passengers by the evening train to Onehunga last night narrowly escaped a very serious accident. It appears that all ■went well up to Penrose, but just as the train was crossing the road near Onehunga, a remarkably strange and alarmiug circum stance occurred. The engine ran heavily 3 a'ainst, but happily in front of the cow catcher, an enormous impediment which appeared to be laid straight across the rail. The train was at once stopped, and the guard and engine-driver alighted. They soon discovered the obstruction, which proved to be a formidable stone, weighing about half a hundred weight, that had been purposely dug out from the side of the road and laid on the line in order to throw the traiu off. It is, unfortunately, quite im possible that the stone could have got there accidentally, so we are forced to the un welcome conclusion that the act was a diabolical outrage wilfully perpetrated by some malicious scoundrel. In the act of bein 0' driven along the line the stone made serious indentations in the sleepers. We sincerely hope that the olice will take up the matter without delay, and bring the murderous culprit to justice.

McGregor rode Tommy and young Wallace steered Bella. A good deal of interest was taken in the match,_ and both the competitors found enthusiastic backers. The race resulted in a rather easy win for Tommy. He finished twenty yards in front of Bella. AN INCENDIARY. Smith, who has been arrested at Oamaru on suspicion of having burned down corn stacks, valued at £200, belonging to Mr Morrison, of Otepopo, by_ whom he had been employed, admits his guilt. When arrested, Smith said " It's all right,.l don't intend to deny. I kept my word, as I promised I would; I was not going to Weak my word. I told Morrison two or three times if he did not settle with me or give me a written agreement he would repent'it before night." ) THE SWALLOW IN A GALE.—SEA MAN LOST. The barquentine Swallow, from New castle (N.S.W.) to the Bluff, made a good run across, but experienced some very heavy weather on May 9th. The day after leaving Newcastle she experienced a heavy gale, which increased to a perfect hurricane on the 12th. Early that morning, when she was under double-reefed canvas, and running before the wind, a heavy sea broke on board, and rilled the decks. When the vessel re covered and the decks were cleared, it was then found that one of the hands was missing, his name being Wm. Bamfield, of Brighton, Essex. As it was very dark, nothing could be done. Another sea broke on board later in the day, and carried away the long boat and a quantity of the bulwarks on both sides, and washed the tarpaulin off the hatches. This latter proved an unfor tunate accident, as a quantity of water entered the tank of fresh water below, completely spoilt it, and rendered it useless. A make-shift condenser was then made out of an old drum, by which about three quarts of water were made daily, but as this had to serve eight men, it did not materially allay the thirst from which they have suffered during the last five days.

IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIP CASE.

I WELLINGTON, this day.

At a full Court of Appeal this morning judgment was delivered in the Otago Gold stealing Case, Begin a against Biown, which has a large bearing on partnership cases. The prisoner, Henry Brown, was indicted iv Qucenstown, Otago, for stealing and embezzling 6_ozs. of gold, the partnership property of himself and John Mall or. At the trial the prisoner's counsel demurred to the indictment stating that he relied upon the judgment given by Mr Justice Richmond at Nelson in April, 18J2, on a similar case, holding that under the Larceny Act Amendment Act, 1870, a partner could not be indicted for stealing partnership paoperty ; in other words hold ing that the Act of 1870 was a dead letter. The Chief Justice held that the first count in the indictment was good, but that the second, third, and fourth were bad. All the other judges read judgments concenring with that of' the Chief Justice. The demurrer raised to the conviction was there fore overruled. DUNEDIN, this day. COMPLAINT AGAINST A NEWS PAPER.

AUCKLAND RATEPAYERS, AWAKE TO A DEFENCE OF YOUR EIGHTS.

(To the Editor of the " Herald," per favour of the Evening Star.)

Dear Sir, —I am puzzled to know the drift of your reference to tho sweet singer Isreal, but think if such did live in these times, he would with the stone of truth gathered from the brook of equity1' have so perforated your leading article of May 30th, that even with the aid of very powerful eye glasses you would have been unable to read it a second time, unless it had been printed upon some of the condemecl timber at the Western Springs. I should not have noticed your one-eyed article, but for the kind and considerate expression, '•extort." I understand this to mean that C. and A. are the leaders of a party who intend to wring from the Council by violence and oppression a something that means, in plain English, fleecing the rate payers. Though lam not writing for Cousins and Atkin, I am prepared to say that this is fully as false as it is uncalled-for, but I shall be 'glad to show you and your friends the very valuable buildings, so that in your next issue you can tell the suffering burgesses the amount C. and A. intend to extort from them. City endowments, part of these were let with building conditions, but those on the Market Reserve without any conditions ; aud this being^a reserve the Council had power to close up what is now the entrance to the Market. Before the opening of this place, C.f and As. entrance to the factory was across planks ' the entrance in Cook-street was blockade^, many years ago, then the one nex the reserve ; and to, crown the matter, the Grey-street sewer was left to empty i t self in the only way of access. C. and A have ever been told that all accommodation in the form, of buildings must be of a temporary kind, altogether outsidethe build ing Act, for at the expiration of the leases the ground would be re-let, compelling the erection of permanent buildings. You look upon this collection of hat-boxes as a valu able property, to let them remain means a rookery worse than any thing yet seen in Auckland ; the meanest miser in this city ■o ould look upon them as a disgrace. Some few months back the Councilpassed a resolu tion, signifying its willingness to take over any lease that might be offered within a given time. The old buildings on lots 13 and 14 are rotting away by the felling that has been going on for years, at the present moment they are not very safe. When the props are removed and appliances taken out, you can, for the amusement of the puplic, give their particular angle, for months at a time. Since the first works in Grey-street, the road to these allotments has been closed; the last filling in Cook-street has cut off the road to 2 houses and a work shop, but the Council are the landlords, our inconvenience and great loss must be given to the City Reserve for years ; and at this very time we have to bring carriages from Cook-street, and drag them from the yard with three or four hands, back again when ready; this one item is a God-send alone. Oue building was erected in Albert-street, and brought down complete upon rollers. Perhaps you will tell us who can now claim this particular building. Your advice may be very good, but I have no confidence in the glorious uncertainty of the law, but would submit to the decision of three or four disinterested gentlemen. At the present time, I am told, the Council agree with certain lessees to allow them half the value of their buildings. Will the Council act righteously to one that wants to build, and unrighteously to those that have built ? Your rendering of C. and A.'s letters to the Council is not correct. vVhen you publish a letter, in all fairness give it correctly. Further, that letter was delivered to the Mayor with these remarks : " C. and A. wish to agree with the Council equitably, they being landlords for the time being, and will, if desired, meet them in committee any time." According to your teaching the tenant can only speak to his landlord through a Law Court. I certainly think the wise man would say, of making many Editors there is no end. Through the ever changing representations in the Council the promises of past mem bers are not considered by their successors. C. and A. want fair dealing and no favour. Using your sentence, I say " sava me from city leases.—Yours &c, CHARLES ATKIH.

BARQUE SIGNALLED.

A BARQUE inside Tiri was signalled when we went to press, but as there was scarcely sufficient wind to cause a ripple on the surface of the water, it is not likely that she will arrive before the morning.

IDENTITY OF THE BRITISH WITH THE TEN LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

This identity being one of the questions of the day, it behoves us to know something of its beayings, as to whether it is only a fashionable craze, or a subject of great im portance. Will you, Mr Editor, kindly grant me a little space in your widely-spread paper to enable me to place before inquirers the information Ipossess of amatter occupy ing tho attention of millions of our fellow subjects in all parts of the world. Our starting point will be the historical link be tween the ten lost tribes and the ancestors of the British people. Now, for centuries past, our most famous seats of learning, our universities, our colleges, our schools, have

been set at defiance by their inability to solve two important and vitalqucstiona, viz., Ist. : Who were the lost tribes of Israel? 2nd : Who were the real progenitors of the British people ?—questionsnowans wered and made plain through the researches of some of our learned menjaniongsttheilrstof whom we shall place Shanon Turner, historian, who proves from history that our ancestors came from tlie very quarter where Israel was last heard of. He proves in his work, "Tho Anglo-Saxons," (Vol. I, 93—102) that tlie tribes of Israel were the ancestors of the Bri tish; thus, speakingof the second or Ten tonic stock of European: population: "It is peculiarly interesting to us, because from its branches not only our own immediate ancestors, but also those of the most cele brated nations of Modern Europe, have un questionably descended. The Anglo-Saxons, Belgians, Lombards, ard Franks, have all sprung from that great fountain of the human race, which we have distinguished by the terms German or Gothic." Herodo tus says, " the first scenes of their civil existence and of their progressive power was ill Asia, to the east of tlie Aiases, the identical part into which Israel had been carried , captive; there they multiplied, and extended their territorial limits for some centuries unknown to Europe." Diodorus says that " the Scyth ians, formerly inconsiderable and few, possessed a narrow region on the Aiases ; but by degrees they became more powerful in numbers and in courage. They extended their boundaries on all sides; till at last they raised their nation to great empire and

glory In the course of time;they subdued many nations between the Caspian and Moaotis, and beyond the Fanais." In the time of Herodotus " they had gained an important footing in Europe, and had taken westerly direction." Shanon Turner, having reference expressly to ~to the Saxons'says, " they were a German, or Teutonic race, i.e., a Gothic or Scythian tribe; and of the various Scythian nations, which have been recorded, the Sakai, or Sacae, are the people from whom the descent of the Saxons may be inferred with the least violation of probability. They defeated Cyrus, and reached the Oappadocea on the Euxine. Pliny says that "some of the divisions of this people were really called Sakasuna;" that the Sakai, who settled in Armenia, were named Sacassari, which is but Sakasunna." Ptolemy also mentions a Scythian people sprung from the Sakai, by the name of Saxones. So history calls to its aid Strabo, Herodotus, Diodorus, Pliny, and Ptolemy, to prove that our so-called Saxon ancestors c.imo from tbe parts where Israel was lost; auTl Aye thus gain the important fact that our forefathers were in Anno Domini 7, occupy ing the north-west of Asia, on the point of making their way into Europe.

The total area of these blocks is about 579,600 acres.

Sir George Grey's refusal to gazette the official notification as to the title of " Honorable " has secured the approval of

several leading English journals. The London "Echo" says :—" The Prime Minister of New Zealand appears to be a sensible man. He has delayed complying with the request of the Governor, who wishes to have official notification in the

Colonial 'Gazette,' of the fact that the title of "Honorable" has been conferred upons Judges Chapman and Giesson. The Pre mier, who bears the honored name of Grey, mindful of his own name and ot the dignity of his office, declines to recognise " a sham aristocracy." The craving for titles developes itself very curiously in new as well as in old communities, and there is now more credit to be obtained by the refusal than by the acceptance of titular honours. There are thousands of men who would give their ears for a peerage, or for a step m that illustrious roll; and there are many pood stories of the way in which the First Ministers of the Crown have been solicited for patents. The Marquis of Nor manby has probably not yet read Mr Tor rens' ' Life of Lord Melbourne', for if he had done so he would have remembered an anec dote of a peer who came to Lord Melbourne to ask for a marquisate. With an expletive, as was his custom, now, ' more honoured in the breach than in the observance,' Lord Melbournejreplied, ' Why, you are not such a fool as to want that ?' On another occa sion Lord Melbourne asked, ' Why, what does he want now, a Garter for the other leg?' It may be convenient, as in the United States, to address the Governors and Senators as ' Honorable', just as we affix 'M.P.' to the names of members of tho House of Commons, or prefix 'Reverend' t:> clergymen, but there is no law in the States to sanction such titles. Indeed, the power to grant them is repudiated by the Constitution; and a recent decision of the Judicial Committee held that there was more of courtesy than right in the title of ' Reverend' awarded to clergymen, and by common consent also to Nonconformist ministers and Catholic priests. For all that tho present Premier of New Zealand is right, like his great namesake, who resolved to ' stand by his order.' "
