The Evening Star: WITH WHICH ARE INCORPORATED The Evening News, The Morning News and The Echo.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9. 1878

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

The cable message this afternoon, an nouncing an Anglo-Austrian treaty to compel the evacuation of Turkey, by Russia, in accordance with the Treaty of Berlin, is of the utmost importance. The contradictory character of cable news com-

pels the acceptance of this announcement with reserve, but if it be true, such an ultimatum almost certainly means war. Recent Russian movements in Turkey are irreconcileable with any other supposition than that the Czar has resolved to treat the

Berlin agreement as so much waste paper. The growing troubles between Italy and Austria which have necessitated the niobili sationj] of 175,000 Austrian troops in the Tyrol, whilef} Germany holds France back, and England has an Afghan war on hand, may appear to Russia a favourable opportunity for carrying out malevolent designs against Turkey; and possession of the Bulgarian fortresses, ob tained through, fraudulent promises, would forward the scheme. Fortifications, it is said, are being constructed at these strongholds. But with all her advantages, Russia,- financially bankrupt, would enter on a war \<* r y ill-equipped. There is an im mense reserve of good fighting material in Turkey yet ii only supported by English gold j and Ausw a , while holding Italy in check, could send a strong force to aid an English expedition. Russia, in aiming at too much, therefore, may ye t lose all she has gained. \

A telegram published in our issue of yesterday announced that thei Government has invited tenders for the supply o f 100,000 tons of steel rails, to be manufactured with - m Jsr eM __z ea i and .. ore< wo understand that the Government, recognis msr the difficulty of obtaining the requisite skufed labour in iha colony, Will Be^Fre f pared to aefray one-half ti^passage moiiey

of workmen* emigrating from the mother country to the colony, to be engaged iv the manufacture of the rails ; while the Agent- Geiieral has received instructions to furnish all available information as to the situation and character of our colonial iron deposits, the means of transport, etc. American tenderers cau obtain similar details from Mr W. W. Evans, of New York. The advertisement adds that it is unlikely that" intending contractors will enter into an engagement of the above nature without lirst satisfying themselves by per sonal inspection as to the position and extent of the raw material in New Zealand required for the manufacture of iron, and every facility for information on this subject will be afforded on application to Dr. Hector. During the last eight years, 15,500 tons of cast iron, and 93,000 tons of wrought iron, exclusive of iron for railways, have been imported into the colony.

Female operatives in the Telegraph Department have not proved a success, and the same result has been experienced in Groat Britain. In England the experi ment of employing females in the State Departments was lirst entered upon in deference to the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen, who was anxious that the disabili ties limiting the industrial occupation of women should bo removed, and that addi tional avenues should be opened to them for gaining a livelihood. Accordingly the Post and Telegraph OHice appointments were thrown open to females, who were found there, as here, zealous and indus trious in the dischnrge of their duties, but unfortunately from various causes the system, on the whole, has not worked with tliat perfect success which its advocates hoped for. In New Zealand, we learn, tbe close confinement during the day has proved very detrimental to the health of the female telegraph operators, causing frequent absence from indisposition, and serious interferance witli the thorough efficiency of the department. Hence it is not in contemplation to extend the system, or to make any fresh appointments of female operators, but as vacancies occur they will be left unfilled, or the places of the retiring operators be supplied by officers of the sterner" sex. There are also other reasons, which may better be guessed at than expressed, why the employment of men and girls in common at all hours of the night has not proved advisable.

We learn by telegram from Wellington that tlieCity of New York, with the London mail* of October 10th, sailed from San Francisco, for Auckland, on the 2Sth ulfc., her due date. The Zealandia, from Auck innd, on the 12th ult., arrived at San Francisco on the ijfch inst., two days in advance of her due date.

To-day is the thirty-seventh anniversary of the birthday of H.R.H. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, heir-apparent to the British Crown. He was born at Buckingham Palace on the 9th Novem ber, 1841, and having completed his early education, studied for a session at Edinburgh, and afterwards entered Christ College, Oxford, where he attended the public lectures for a year ; resided for three or four terms at Cambridge. In IS6O he visited the United States and Canada, travelled in Palestine and the East in 1862. In 1863 he married the Princess Alexandra of Denmark. Ho has also visited India, and now contemplates a visit to the Austral asian colonies. He is Grand Master of the English Constitution of Freemasons, Presi dent of many Scientific and Benevolent As sociations, and has recently worked most energetically in securing the success of the Paris Exhibition. He also holds the rank of a General in the army. To-day the ship ping in harbour was gaily decorated with buuti'jg, many busiuess houses hoisted Hags, and the Artilleiy Volunteers fired asalute in honor of the occasion.

To the Editor : Sir,—-In the ''Herald's" report of f s last night's moonlight exclusion, I find the following : "The steamers pro ceeded as far as iiangitoto a:i I back," "alternated by the display of iireworks." Now 1 beg to state that wo did not go to Kangitoto; neither was there a display of firewoiks. So much for the "Herald's" report—Verb. sap.—Yours, &c, SPECIAL.

The "New Zealand Times" of the Ist lust, says:—"During a recent debate in the House of Representatives, it was stated by Mr Joyce that the Press Agency had been started by Sir Julius Vogel. This drew forth an immediate contradiction from the Uon. Mr Richardson, who stated that the originator of the N.Z. Press Agency was Mr C. 0. Montrose, and that Sir Julius Vogel was very much opposed to the starting o£ the agency at the time Mr Mont rosc initiated the enterprise."

Aliicrman McArthur, of the Coleman street Ward, City of London, and M.P. for t!io Borough of jLambeth, has just returned fiorn a tour among the Hot Lakes of Rotomahana, Roturua, etc., and expresses himself highly pleased with the boiling geysers and natural wonders of those fairy regions.

Mr P. Murphy writes with reference to the stoppage of the Drake-street contract, and the insecure fencing of the cutting. The Council, having given the contractor notice that his contract would be cancelled, have, we understand, now taken over the work, and have to-day put up a substantial fence. The City Surveyor is preparing conditions for the ro-lettinc; of the job. Mr John Endean, of Truro, Cornwell, has purchased the Britomart Hotel of Mr Archard, and will take possession hence forth.

The affairs of this Lodge are in a most satisfactory condition, and the increase in number has been 24 since last quarterly report; which may be mainly attributed to Bro. Lightfoot, the W.C.T. of the past term, who has been most inde fatigable in. his. endeavours to promote the good of the Order. The utmost good feeling has prevailed amongst the members, and instructive and entertaining matter has been given whenever opportunity occurred. The church announcements will be found in the usual column. The evening service for the people will be held in the Theatre Royal at the hour of eight o'clock. The Newton Congregational Sunday-school anniversary services will also be 'held to morrow (Sunday), in Edinburgh-street. Preachers—Revs. R. Taylor, J. Bond, and J. Robertson. Anniversary sennous will also be preached at the Union-street Wesleyan Sunday-school by Eevs. Whewell and Dellow.

The leading settlers of the rural district of Panmure have determined upon an Ethiopian entertainment (and ball, to be held m the Panmure Hall, on the evening of the 12th' instant, the tickets for which are already issued.

■A "meeting of the ratepayers of the Eden Terrace Highway Board was held yester day at the Edeii Vine Hotel, Mr Heigh way in the chair, for the purpose of electing a trustee in the place of Mr Sinclair, resigned. Only two candidates were pro posed, viz., Mr C. Atkins and Mr Evinson. The result of the voting was as follows :— Mr Atkins, 14 ;Mr Eviusson, 7. The former gentleman was therefore elected. Ifc was resolved to call a meeting shortly to consider the advisabitity of empowering the Board to borrow a sum of money for carrying out certain works in the district. Aye y interesting subject has been chos.en by the Key. Allan W. Webb, for his next lecture in iid of tbe Young Men's Christian Association, viz. " Christmas Evans, 'a sub ject of deep interest in connection with the life and teachings of an original Welsh preacher, whose "feet were beautiful upon the mountains." Few persons, we presume, in this city know anything of the wonder ful career," singular vicissitudes, and natural eloquence of this remarkable man ,whose memory lives and glows among the moun tain scenery and sheep-dotted valleys of the land of Owen Glendower. The adver tisement of the lecture appears else where. A suspicious-looking character, with a knowing eye, was seen prowling, in a Beilll drunken state, in different parts of the city yesterday. About noon he walked leisurely into the school of City East, .sat in one of tbe lady-teacher's seats, commenced pulling away at the fag-end of a cigar, ques tioned the cliildreu, who were dreadtully alarmed, and insulted one of the teachers. Presently he was uncere moniously ejected by the Head master. He then walked round towards Shortland-street, went into a grocer's shop, h'lled his pockets with eggs iv the coolest possible manner, and walked off. Last n'ght, some mysterious stranger visited the premises of several persons in the locality, and stole shirts and other articles, .which had been left out in the moonshine. It is whispered that this eccentric personage may be the Pousonby claimaut.

The friends of temperance are endeavour ing to put more life into their Saturday evening entertainments, and at the meeting in the Temperance Hall to-night several new features and readings will be intro duced between the songs and speeches, as per advertisement. We learn that Mr Mahouey, one of our leading city architects, has received in structions from Government to prepare plans for the several Courts, held in the old Wesleyau chapel, High-street. The cost is estimated at something like £3,000. " Truth" writes complaining of the in civility at the stamp window at the Po.st Office. "A lady yesterday, wishing to send a parcel by book post, asked this individual to let her know what stamps she would re quire, when he told her the*cales were there, and that she could weigh, it herself, as lie was not there for that purpose. I wonder if he thinks it too much trouble to receive his salary. 1 would, therefore, like to know if it is the duty of the official to weigh a letter or book paicel if asked to do so, as I for one would not like to ask any man to do any thing that is not his duty. At the same time, I think the public have a right to be taeated with civility."

Alderman W. McArthur, M.P., and his son, left by the Hero to-day for Sydney. A portion of the Madras and Peuang cable is about to be re-laid, in consequence of Avhich all telegrams for India will be charged the rates "via Rangoon" until further notice.

To the Editor : Sir, —In your police report in yesterday's Stak, in the case of B. Carter's assault on his wife, after stating he came home drunk and violently assaulted his wife, you say "Mr Talbotinterfered, or it might have been worse," which sentence would lead anyone to believe that I was present, and probably came home with him. I beg to say that I knew nothing of the assault for more than 24 hours after. Had I been present, I should have taken care that no assault was committed. My action was simply the laying of an information, to prevent, if possible, the recurrence of a brutal and violent assault on the person of my friend. Oblige me by inserting this explanation.—l am &c, It. T. Talbot.

Wreck of the Barque Carlotta.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

(Per Press .Agency.)

WELLIN GTON, this day. The barque <arlotta, owned by Captain "Williams, bound from Newcastle with a cargo of over 400 tons coal, went ashore on Lighthouse Point while beating into Wellington Heads this morning with a flood tide. A heavy westerly gale is blow ing, the seas washing over the vessel. It is expected she will become a total wreck. By permission of the Government the Stella will leave for the wreck at 2 o'clock. No lives are lost. The iusuranccs are £500 in the Globe on the hull, £500 on the hull and £400 on the cargo in the Victoria.

[From our own Correspondent.]

The collier Carlotta went on rocks at the top of high water. Pilot lloldes and a crew went to the assistance of the vessel, which is now high and dry and no chance of getting her oil". The crew are safe, and can jump ashore any time* It is supposed the Carlotta was either' trying to beat in against a gale and missed stays or else tried to anchor inside and,parted her cable. In either of which case she would iuevitably be blown ashore. The vessel is insured for £1,000 in the Victoria, of which £500 is re-insured in the Globe, and the cargo for £400 in the Victoria.

ACCIDENT IN QUEEN-STREET.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF A

CRATER.

An accident, -which narrowly escaped hav ing a most serious and tragic termination, occurred in Queen-street, in front of the shop occupied by Mr Fisher, butcher, this morning, and was witnessed by more than one hundred spectators. It appears that one of Mr Fisher's horses, harnessed to a trolly, was standing close to the footpath opposite his shop, when it must have fallen asleep, as it suddenly fell forward. The fall had the effect of awakening it, and the animal reared and plunged violently to regain his feet. Thomas Bradley, the carter, who had been conversing with Mr Fisher in the shop at the time ot the occurrence, at tempted to catch the frightened animal by the head just as it succeeded in its efforts to rise, but his foot catching in a small hand ca?:t which t.'oh standing by, he was thrown

to the ground under the hand-cart. The horse attempted to bolt, but the wheel of the trolly being chained, it only succeeded in swerving the vehicle round. The horse then sprang on the hand-cart, and Bradley being underneath, his position was one of imminent danger. The hand-cart was smashed to pieces by the plunging of the horse, but strange to say, Bradley was dragged out unhurt. The horse was held down by several gentlemen, aud hav ing been released from the trolly, was taken to the stables. The escape was certainly a most miraculous one, and Bradley may well congratulate himself on his good for tune in getting oft" so easily.

On the motion of Dr Wallis, seconded by Mr Barnes, Mr Young Wairen was voted to the chair.

Dr Wallis, in opening his address, re ferred to the object of the meeting. He re viewed his action, and that of the other members of the Council, in reference to the hauging-up of the Act. He had beeu their representative now for two years, and during that time he had been faithful to his pledges, and had done all he could to oppose the operative clauses of the Act being brought into forces. The Act had been hung-up, and the ratepayers saved from a heavy load of taxation-- amounting to from £6,000 to £8,000 per year. His opinions are now as they were then —anta- gonistic to the Act being brought into force. He gave the following reasons for his candi dature :—The Act had been tried, and fouud wanting: Out of 63 counties, some thing like one-third of the Councils had adoption the Act; one-third had suspended it ; and in the other one-third Councils the Act had been allowed to slip into opera tion. A great deal of dodgery had been used to allow the Act to slip into operation. He opposed the Act. also, on the ground that it was a heavy taxing machine. iVew Zealand was the most heavily taxed country on. the face of the earth. They had now a debt of £22,000,000; the debt on every person—man, woman, and child—being £70. In France the debt was £32 per head, in England £24, iii Spain £17, in Austria £9, and in Russia only £3 or £4, while in New Zealand it was £70 per head. It might be considered un fair to compare a new country like this with old countries, but he would take the neigh bouring colonies. In Queensland the debt per head was £35 ; in New South Wales, £20 ; and in Victoria £19. The Govern ment must either repeal the Act or have it adopted, and their repudiation of it was a standing protest against it. If returned to the County Council, he would vote in favour of keeping the Act in sus pension. At present, it was full of blunders, and had been amended at both sessions of Parliament since it passed. He thought the County Councillors should be elected every year, and not every three years, as provided by the Act. He objected to the power of borrowing which was allowed County Councils under the Act. The .speaker spoke in favour of the extension of the franchise to women, and main tained that they were entitled to all the privileges of citizenship. There were no other matters to which he desired to refer ; but if returned, he would continue to use his best efforts on behalf of the ratepayers. Before sitting down, the speaker referred to a gross insult which had been offered to him in reference to the occupation of the school-room ; at the same time remarking that the right to possess the bu-ilding had been obtained by him. He would, however, bring the matter before the Board of Education.

The alleged insult offered lay in the fol lowing circumstances : Prior to the opening of (he meeting, Mr Suiter, the opposition candidate, placarded the room with, posters, announcing his intei tion to address the elec tors on the 12th.; suiting his policy to be in favour of "hanging up" the Act, and request ing the ratepayers not to pledge themselves until they had heard both candidates. These placards had been torn down by those pre sent.

Mr Machattie said as the other candidate was present; perhaps Dr Wallis would have uo objection to hearing his views.

Dr VVallis refused. Mr Suiter had called a meeting for Monday.

A vote of coulidence iv Dr. Wallis was carried, with only one dissentient. Mr Suiter asked for permission, to make an explanation regarding the posters. Dr. Wallis objected. It was a matter between himself and the Board of Educa tion, from whom he had rented the room.

Mr Suiter explained that he was unaware of having committed any offence in exhi biting the placards. He had engaged the room for Monday night, and knowing there would be a large number of ratepayers present this evening, he thought it wise to make the announcement. If any intuit had been taken, he was sorry for it. Dr. Wallis accepted the apology, and ex pressed himself quite satisfied. He would allow bygones to be bygones. The meeting then terminated, with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

AN AUTHORITY ON DRAINAGE.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

(From our own Correspondent)

WELLINGTON, this day. The Surveyor-General of New Zealand has just returned to this colony, after an absence oi about 12 months. Mr Thomson has resumed his official duties as Surveyor- General, his rumoured intention of resigning being entirely unfounded. During his stay in Great Britain, Mr Thomson made if; his business to inspect carefully, and compare the various systems of town drainage in xise at home. A comprehensive paper from his able pen, on the whole subject, will be read before the Wellington Philosophical Society. THE OLD OLD STORY.

Kate Dawes was to-day committed for trial for attempted suicide. She is a re markably good-looking young woman, about 2-±, with a sweet face, and she was dressed well and with taste. She has for some time passed as the wife of Mr Margetts, a merchant in this town, who was recently a bankrupt. In Court she hinted that he had turned her out of doors; and, sooner that embrace the only path of life open to -a woman in her position, she attempted to put an cud to her existence. Her case has ex cited much commiseration.

THE UPPER QUEEN-STREET LEVELS.

(To the Editor),

Sir,—Can you inform myself and the others interested in the ahove subject the reason for the delay in advertising the levels adopted by the Council for this street? Is it because certain Upper Queen-street gentlemen, who have so long been pulling the ropes, are not satisfied ? If so, it is time the majority of the Councillors asserted their right to control the movements of Council officials, and authorise its insertion at once, so that the matter can be definitely settled while the present Mayor holds office.— I am, &c. Ratepayer.
