DEATH OF MOTHER MARY CECELIA.

The death of the late ex-Mother Mary Cecilia, the much-respected ex-Mother Superioress of the community of the Sisters of Mercy, of the diocese of Auckland, which took place yester day, the 25th instant, at noon, after a long and trying sicknes3, will doubtleas be deeply regretted by many in Auckland. Just 30 years ago, with a number of sisters of her Order, and under her charge. Mother Mary Cecelia arrived in Auckland, and founded the Dresent House of Mercy, known as St. Mary's Convent, Ponsonby, which will no doubt remain, for generations to come, a standing memorial of the zeai and labours of the # deceased, and of the good Sisters co-operating in the noble works characteristic of the Order of Mercy. These works are: The teaching of the children of the poor, the care of the Orphans, the housing and schooling of the destitute and neglected, the instructing in religion the ignorant, and visiting and comfort ing the eick, together with educating and train ing, as befits their state, the daughters of the higher classes of society. In all these depart ments the citizens of Auckland have it in their power to testify that Mother Cecilia pre-emin ently distinguished herself throughout many years of Auckland's pioneer days. 'J hough' at the advanced age of 79 years she leaves this life, there will be many who will say, wi h regret and a fond sorrow, &he goes too soon. A solemn Requiem Mass will be offered to morrow, Wednesday morning, at 9 a.m., at St. Mary's Convent Church, Ponsonby, immediately after which the body will be interred in the cemetery of the Institute, situate in the grounds facing the Convent.

Wreck of the Tubal Cain.

FULLER PARTICULARS,

Papkes to hand by the Rotorua contain no information -regarding the wreck of the Tubal Cain. We have, however, been very kindly allowed to make the-follow ing extract from a letter by Mr H. Wilson, one of the passengers by the schooner, to his father, wno resides in this city : —" The Tubal Cain was wrecked on the weather side of Ono, Elan, 240 miles from Levuka, on the night of Sunday, October 17th. All hands were saved after some difficulty, and I was somewhat bruised by the falling of the hatchway. We have plenty to eat, and the chiefs and natives are very kind to us. They rendered assistance in getting out the cargo, which is all right. The boat that takes this letter to Levuka will send down a larger vessel to take us on." The New Zealand Insurance Company have also re ceived a letter, from which we learn that the Tubal Cain stranded on a reef at the south-east point of Ono, Elan, at 10 o'clock on the night of Sunday, the 27th October. It was the intention of the captain to strip the vessel of everything, and dispose of the wreckage in Levuka. The cargo had been nearly all saved. From the foregoing it will be seen that the vessel must have been a total wreck, or the captain would not have decided to dismantle her. The position of the wreck shows that the vessel must have been considerably out of her course at the time of the disaster. This, however, will no doubt be explained when fuller particulars are to hand.

MEETING OF GROCERS' ASSISTANTS.

'According to announcement in the Star, a meeting of employers and employes in the tea and general grocery trade was held last evening in the large room of the Young Men's Christian ; Association. Mr John Kllyett was called to the : chair, and in a few words introduced the object of the meeting. Mr Morley said that he had canvassed the city and suburbs, and found that the majority of employers-were in favour of granting the half-holWayto assistants; but there was a slight difference of opinion as to the day, whether it should be on Wednesday or Satur day. He then read a requisition which he had got up, and which had been signed by several of the leading houses in Queen-street, in favour of a Wednesday half-holiday. Mr Close (Close Bros.) spoke at some length in favour of the movement, and was satisfied that employers would lose nothing by the concession. Mr He win recommended a combination of employers and employes, and spoke in favour of closing at two o'clock on Saturdays, and uniting with the drapers in the early-closing efforts. He did not think Wednesday the most convenient day for the half-holiday. Mr Spragg agreed with the last speaker as to the unfltness of Wednesday, as young men would so fatigue themselves at their muscular sports that they would not be able to work freely on the next day. He recom mended.closing at noon on Saturdays. Messrs McNab, Kllyett, and Maxfield, were also in favour of Saturday. On tho motion of Mr S^ragg, seconded by Mr Hewin, it was resolved: " That a dual form of requisition be drawn up, to be presented for signature to the grocers throughout the city and suburbs; the first requisition to be in favour of closing a Jhalf-day on Wednesday?, the second to make Friday night the market night, and close at 12 on Satur days." A committee was then appointed to carry out the business of the movement, Messrs Morley, Hapthorpe, Rowe, and Parker, with power to add to their number, and, with a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting was adiourned until the 9th of December.

SYDNEY, November 20. At_ a meeting of the Commissioners appointed in connection with the New South Wales Exhibits at Paris, a letter was read from Mr Joubert, the Presi dent of the Commission, dated Paris, 27th September. The letter stated :— "lam directed to call your attention to the very high distinctions which have been given to the exhibits from Fiji and New Zealand, which are under the charge of the New South Wales Commissioners, and ex hibited in their court. The whole of the packages, containing books, pamphlets, statistical maps, and illustrated papers, which you have caused to be sent to Paris, have arrived at a most opportune moment, when the stock in hand was almost ex hausted, and the demand for thoce most useful publications still further increased." The award list showed that New Zealand was represented by 5 exhibitors, who re ceived 2 diplomas of honor.

Mr Francis Ormond, of Toorak, is the donor of £10,000 towards a Presbyterian College affiliated to the University.

The Chief Justice passed sentence in the embracery cases as follows:—David Henry is sentenced to four years' imprisonment and a tine of £500, and Ireland to two years' imprison ment and a fine of £60, These sentences are regarded as very severe. The Judge in passing sentence referred in strong terms to the enor mity of the offence, which was calculated to sap the very foundations of justice. It was optional for him to fine or imprison, but as Henry was a money lender and professedly a rich man he inflicted both fine and imprisonment. Both prisoners felt their position very keenly, and were evidently much taken by surprise at the severity of the sentence. There was a great crowd around the Court, and the case excited much interest, ' . Twenty-four players1 have been selected as a practise team for the coming matches. ; Wiberg's confession states that in August. 1877. when in the Avoca, between Sydney and Melbourne, Ellison (t>e chief officer) came to him during the night and asked him to open the box. They went to the strong room, where a box of sovereigns was opened. Kllison took out the bags and handed them to, Wiberg, and, be tween them they were taken up to Allison's cabin. Ellison gave him 200 sovereigns, saying th^tit would not. be well for him to have too much. Wiberg says that he has-never seen Kllison since. He himself afterwards left the Avoca, but not on account of the robbery. Rev. Charles Chiniquy has been lecturing at Kiama any other up-country towns.

MR SUTTON, M.H.R., AT NAPIER.

A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.

A PACKED MEETING.

(From our own Correspondent).

NAPIER, tnis day.

The Theatre Royal was crowded last evening to hear Mr Sutton give an account of his stewardship. The advertisement ap peared in a morning paper, signed by John Buchanan, calling the Greyites to the front at 8 o'clock. Both parties showed up in full force at that hour. When the time arrived Mr Sutton moved that Mr Kennedy take the chair. Mr Buchanan at once said the meeting Avas intended to assume importance and significance which had not been in tended when it was first called, and concluded by moving that M' MoDou^al take the viiaii. Th.ia rose a perfect tempest, and loud cries for Mr Kennedy, and a few for Mr McDougal. Mr Sutton came forward, say ing he had called the meeting, and he asked Kennedy to take the chair. Af termuch noise Mr Buchanan again came forward, and put it to the meeting whether Mr McDougal or Mr Kennedy should take the chair. On a show of hands being taken,three-fourths of the room voted for Mr Kennedy, who then took the chair. Mr Sutton then spoke for two hours.

MR REES DETERMINED TO SPEAK,

!At the conclusion and during the speech he was loudly and rapturously applauded. On the conclusion of his speech there were cries for Mr Rees, who was on the plat f oi-m. - The following is the report of the conclusion of the proceedings from the " Merald" of this morning :—Mr Rees then came forward in response to some calls. He was atfirst listened to with tolerabre patience, but when it Became apparent that he ilh tended taimake a -speech in ireplyfto Mr ■Suttdft^e^'was^;n rot'; allbwefl \tti },' proeeedv He'wa's^hdwled'atjand" hissed,; and inter rupted, with stamping of feet, but all to no purpose. There Mr Rees stood/ determined to go on with .his; • speech; He said he could" speafcj £s they probably knew, for *24 hours

jat a stretch, and so they might judge ■whether he would be put down. In reply to the objection raised by the chairman ithat Mr Rees could not speak Avithout sub jinitting a motion, he said that he intended •to move one, but would do so at his own l turn and choice. Mr Rees then attempted jto continue his speech, but at every word |he uttered there were howls.

j MR SUTTON PROTESTS. [ Mr Sutton then came forward, and said |he thought his friend was pursuing a very ; unusual course. As the Representa tive of the district, he (Mr button) had called that meeting to give an explana tion of his action in parliament, and it was not good taste of Mr L Rees, who did not represent the district, to obstruct the ordinary course of the meeting ■*■ Mr Kees, however, persisted in continuing to speak, but every word he said was drowned in hootiiigs 'and other noises, with which he was assailed. After this had gone on for some little time, a disposition was shown by the body of the meeting to bring matters to a close by quitting the theatre. Then someone got up in the stalls and moved a vote of confidence in Mr Sutton, which was, however, drowned in the cheers of the crowd.

Mr Sntton came forward and bowed his thanks, and was again treated to round after round of cheers.

THE LIGHTS PUT OUT,

The chairman then quitted the chair, and the people began to disperse. Mi Bess, however, coutinuetl|standing in front, waiting for an opportunity of speaking to the few who were inclined to remain. Mr Buchanan proposed that Mr McDongal take the chair, and Mr McDongal did so, but at that moment the lights were put out, and so the meeting was brought to a close.

AUCKLAND SHIPOWNERS' AND SHIP BUILDERS' ASSOCIATION.

Thk fir3t annual meeting of this association was held last evendnitlin the 'i'hames Hotel. Present: —Mr &. W. Owen in the chair, and Messrs D. H. McKenzie, James Macfarlane, Davirl flouk, W. Mewburn, and the Secretary, Mr S. W. Hill. The report, an clabotate one, was brought up and read, showing condition and progress made. These were enumerated, and tho report went on to treat of the petition presented to Parliament by Mr J. A. Tole, for the modification of port charges, and other imposts; and acknowledging Mr Tole's services to the Association, adding :— " Although this Association has not been, so far, successful in procuring all the reforms they have_ desired, yet your committee do not think that it should despair of any further concessions being made, if these matters are again brought before the Parliament at its next Bitting. The matter of exemption from compulsory pilotage tor all coasting vessels under 100 tons register has been conceded ; and the management and control of the pilotage system has, under the new Harbours Act, been placed in the hands of the various Harbour Boards, subject, however, to some central control. Once during the past year have the shipbuilders who are members of tho Association been called upon to support one of their members against tho action of the Ship wrights' Society." On the motion of the chair man, seconded by Captain McKenzie. the report was adopted ; and on the motion of Mr Brown, the election of officers for the new year was made. A special vote of thanks was passed to Mr Tole, and the meeting adjourned until Tuesday next.

THEATRE ROYAL.—"TRANSPORTED FOR LIFE."

This four-act drama, from the pen of Mr George Darrell, was again produced last evening, and many of the incidents and the general tenor of " Transported for Life" elicited warm applause. The lower part of the house was largely patronised, and satisfaction expressed. In our la3t issue we noticed particularly the characters of the play, and made such observations on its merits as they seemed to us to demand. The parts of Mr and Mrs Darrell were naturally sustained. Mrs Darrell evinced a thorough knowledge of the heroine, the genuine Edith Vaughan, a true type of womanhood. Mr Darrell also exhibited Herbert Chandos in the most creditable manner. The ladies and gentlemen who assisted in giving life and colour to the scenes, deserve commendation. The play will be represented again this even ing.

UNITED C.C.V. NORTH SHORE.

The above match was played in the Domain cricket ground" on Saturday last; and at the commencement of the North Shore innings it looked as if a long score would be made. The first wicket fell for 57 runs, but the remaining nine wickets could not manage more than five between them the bowling of Lankham proving very destructive : and the innings closed for 62. The Auckland United Cricket Club sent in D. Lynch and P. Dufaur, and the North Shore total was soon reached and passed; the hitting of Mr Lynch being very clean and effective.

It is much to be regretted that Mr. Peacock's supporters deemed it advisable to give publicity to the matter, and so give, in tbis contest, an excuse for bad feeling and personalities, which should be suppressed, G.

Mr. McComish must surely have read my challenge after the gas was put out, or he could not so have misunderstood it as to make a per sonal affair of it. My reason for inserting my first was the fact of Mr. McComish boasting of Ms Band as being the best,in the Province/or, of me^Mß bers of. my Band, and I, thou&oc^u-w^Sf^ assert our right, beyond all dispute, in the matter. If Mr. McComish will help us to solve the doubts implied in my first, we may then come to a " composition," or an " arrangement," with regard to his of last night's. In the mean time, I should feel obliged if he would favour me with a copy of his "last-New Opera, Symphony, or Sonata, that I may the better judge whether I dare accept his challenge. ' J. IMPEY.
