tte» tha *f~Ji fa tfcv vifcwott,

The necessity for a new cemetery, which, after considerable agitation somo time ago, gradually passed from public attention, has been suddenly revived on such cogent grounds that something will have to be done very quickly. Mr R. C. Dyer, Secre tary to the General Church Trust Board, has written to the Colonial Secretary, the Mayors of Auckland and Paruoll, and the Chairmen of the several Highway Boards, to the following effect: — " The very crowded stato of the Church of England portion of the cemetery, Symonds-street, renders it impossible to continue to make new graves in it. The trustees therefore feel compelled to give notice that after September 30th next, they will be unable to provide any new graves, the funerals after that date being restricted to those who have secured ground for graves. They have also given notice to the Auckland Hospital and Lunatic Asylum that room for burials can no longer be found for patients dying in the Hospital or Asylum. It is therefore absolutely necessary for the proper authorities to provide a proper cemetery for the necessities of Auckland and its rapidly increasing suburbs. lam requested to urge prompt action in this very important matter by those in authority." The Corporations and Highway Boards appealed to should forthwith take joint action for the selection of a suitable site and its acquisition from the Government. With notice of inability to _ carry out further interments already issued, a renewed wrangle over .sites is inadvisable. A representative Commis sion to examine and report upon the various localities that have been_ suggested might dispose of the matter within a week. The letter will no doubt be considered at the first meetings of the various local_ bodies to which it has been sent, and its < im portance and urgency should ensure compliance with the terms of Mr Dyer's request. The removal of the cemetery a short distance from town is, we believe, the only practicable, as well as tte_ most sensible course open, but in adopting it consideration must be given to the means of access, that the already serious expense of ffineral pageantries shall not be increased.

The English papers by the mail teem with scandals. Nearly every journal in the Kingdom contained) day after day, columns about the Bagot will cases, the Desart divorce case, or the Brighton scandal. Our London correspondent gives a brief but lucid summary of the grounds of action and evidence in each case. His letter, com menced on the third, is finished on" the fourth page of to-night's issue. §SJA Bill introduced into jjthe American Congress provides forg carrying ocean mails in American steamers, and for a monthly service from San Francisco to Sydney via the Sandwich Islands and New Zealand. The same Bill provides for a mail service between San Francisco, China, and Japau, or Australia. No amendment has yet been oflered. The Attorney-General will addiess his constituents at Duuedin on Tuesday next.

The inter-University Cricket Match, which, according to tho cablegram, fell to Cambridge this year, by 283 runs, was iustitntcd in 1827, but has only been played regularly since 1838, when Oxford won by 98 runs. So far Cambridge has triumphed in 20 games and Oxford in 21. From 18G3 to '66 tho Dark Blues had a run, and then their adversaries reversed matters for four years ; after which they each (1871-2) won a match. In 1873-4-5 and 7 Oxford was again to the fore, but the '76' game fell to Cambridge.

We are glad to learn that a searching inquiry, instituted by Mr Commissioner Thomson into the alleged harsh treatment of a drunkard hy a constable on Saturday night, has resulted in shewing that the circumstances were not as stated. The man, it appears, fell down rathSr hard whilo being taken to the lock-up; but, according to witnesses, was picked up and kindly treated hy tlie constable. The prompt inquiry instituted by xrir Com missioner Thomson will givo general satisfaction, and have a good moral effect on the force, in respect of which, it is but justice to say, complaints are exceedingly rare.

During the last few days the contractor has been engaged replacing that portion of the wharf adjoining the waterman's house, and both last night and the night previous, a number of large holes were left in the planking, not sufficiently covered up, and extremely dangerous. A young man named French was driving one of the mail carts owned by Mr Quick, past the dangerous spot, when the cart, horse, and man, fell through one of the gaps. Serious injury was sustained by French and the horse,and the harness of the latter -was cut to pieces before tho animal could be extricated.

Wo learn upou reliable authority that strenuous effortsjare being made to build n Baptist Church in the growing district of Pakarangi, the timber for which has already been secured. Undenominational Sunday services have hitherto been held in a large room in the district, and have been regularly attended by about eighty persons. The supply has been chielly by laymen from Auckland. Tenders for the erection of the projected church will shortly be required. It will interest many friends in Auckland to know that the Rev. Warlow Davies, M.A., will probably leave England for his new charge at Newton, Sydney, the latter end of this mouth. We wish him every success in his new sphere of labour. Future letters should be addressed to him, care of John White, Esq., Secretary New College, Sydney.

It was stated yesterday iv the evidence adduced in the case of Drurnmond v. Lind say, in the Resident Court, that the horse was sold for 20s. Mr Dorau, the owner of the animal, informs us that it should have been the "carcase of the horse," as the horse, after suffering consi derably from the injuries received, died of exhaustion.

In the window of Mr. Kohn, jeweller, Queen-street, may be seen a number of ornamental aritcles for table use, made of polished oak bound with silver plate. They consist of salad bowls, butter bowls, cruet stands, mugs, spirit barrels, &c, and are not only extremely handsome, but very chaste in design. Persons who, for pecuniary reasons, are unable to purchase these necessaries in silver might do worse than try this novel ware.

When the mail steamer was being moored alongside the Queen-street wharf last night a man named David T,aylor, who was near the edge of the wharf, was assisting several others to push the gangway on to the vessel, when he was, by a sudden jerk, thrown overboard. He was a very good swimmer, and kept on the top of the water until a rope was thrown to him. This he seized, and was hauled up without having sustained any material injury.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow Esq., R.M.) BUM ONES. Four inebriates were subjected to the inevitable penalty, 5s and costs. LARCENY OF CSIERS. Henry Rafton was charged with stealing 75 head of osiers, value £5, at Parnell, the property of Thomas Cole, of Auckland, in June last. Mr Pardy asked for an adjournment until Monday, as prisoner had made a number of excuses as to his possession of the osiers. Mr Hesketh appeared far the defendant, and said he did not wish to shirk the matter iv any way, but he was fully prepared to go on with the case. Prisoner said he was prepared to shew the receipt for the osiers, which wore purchased at Cabbage Tree Swamp. The matter was allowed to stand over until to-morrow morning, prisoner being admitted to bail.

A KAUKI PLANK,

Richard McCullagh, a labouring man, was remanded on a charge of stealing a kauri plank, value 3s, the property of Edward Coode.

HIDING THE BOYS,

Bridget Mahoney, a widow, of Onehunga, was charged with a breach of the Naval Training School Act by harbouring two boys, Charles Healey and Arthur Curtis, who had escaped from Kohiniarama Training School ou the 14th Juue. Thomas Mahouey, Garrett Barry, Walter Wall, and Robert Cox were charged with assisting the boys to escape.

Thomas Mahonoy was charged with, des troying two uniform caps, value ss. After hearing the evidence, His Worship said, according to the Act, the defendants Lad indirectly aided and assisted the boys, but believing that they did the acts purely out of kindness, believing the boy's story, the fine would be light, viz., 20s each and costs on the male defendants ; or in default seven days.

Mrs Mahoney said that it was true the boys had slept on tier premises, but she was not aware of it uutil the next morning. Sub-Inspector Pardy said under the circumstances he would not press for a conviction, and the case was withdrawn.

Thomas Mahoney, for destroying the boy's caps, was ordered to pay the damage and costs.

William Oliver was charged on a summons with making default in complying with the requisition of a notice to abate a common nuisance on his premises in Newton Koad, on the 29th ult. Mr Wm. Coleman appeared for plaintiff, and pleaded not guilty. John S. Duke, Inspector of Nuisances for the district of Karangahape, put in the Highways Act of 1874 and other documents in proof of his position. He received infor. mation of a nuisance on defendadt's pro perty with instructions to examine the nuisance. He found a cesspool, and offensive water flowing therefrom. On the 29th he ugain inspected the premises and found that

matters were made worse by the burying of soil too near his neighbour's well. Mr Coleman took exception to two of the documents put in, which did not prove that the prosecutor was a legally appointed, officer of the Board. He contended also that the nuisance had been removed. Be would ask, therefore, that the case be dis missed.

His Worship said the order was to remove the nuisanco. He must dismiss the complaint. The costs -were awarded against the plain tiffs.

A NEIGHBOURLY BREEZE,

Susan Conley was charged with assaulting Mary Jane Brown, by striking her, tearing her shawl, and, thro wing mud at her. Mr George for complainant, and Mr Tyler for defendant. Defendant pleaded not guilty. Mary Jano Brown, the complainant, wife of George Brown of Newmaiket, deposes that she let a house to the complainant, who owed her £2. She went to the house, and found the defendant about to go away with her furniture. She (the complainant) then served her with a distress warrant. Witness then described the assault. William Storey gave corroborative evi dence. Susan Conley,Peter Cabcrera" a Spaniard, Mary Jane Conley, daughter of Susan Conley, and Henry Elley, gave evidence, for the defence. His Worship considered that both parties were to blame, but he must find Susan Conley guilty of assault. A fine of 10s was inilicted on that " lady," and both parties ordered to pay their own costs. ANOTHER CASE. A further charge of abusive language, preferred by Mrc. Brown, against Mrs. Conway, was withdrawn on the suggestion of his Worship. This conolud ed the business.

THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE KAISER WILLIAM.

The Emperor of Germany was wounded in the head, face, back, and arms by Dr. Nobbling. When arrested he^ittempted to shoot his landlord, and also to commit suicide; but only succeeded in wounding himself badly. He barely escaped assassi nation at the hands of the mob. The Emperor lost much blood, and thirty shots were extracted. Dr. Nobbling attempted a second time to commit suicide. His brothers are officers in the army. The " North German Gazette" says that Dr. Nobbling drew lots with ten persons, four of whom belonged to the Berlin University. The Berlin Criminal Court has received several letters threatening assassination to all Sovereigns if Nobbline bo harshly treated. Four students have been arrested charged with complicity in the affair. , t The London "Standard's" Berlin special says

that Nobbling, before he became uncon scious, confessed that he offered to undeN take the work, and discussed his plans *Jth other persons.

Thou sands of the lower classes of operatives including women, paraded the streets, mak ing violent demonstrations*. The residence of Colonel Jackson, .Chairman of the Mas ter's Association, was burned to the ground The same mob attempted to burn Jackson's mills. The residence of Alderman Hornby was partially wrecked, and the windows of all the mills in the town demolished. A strong force of infantry from Preston has arrived and a troop of cavalry is en route London, May 15.—A Blackburn despatch says :—The troops have cleared the streets. Colonel Jackson and wife barely escaped the mob. Alderman Hornby was struck by stones while remonstrating with the rioters. TERRIBLE COLLIERY EXPLOSION. An exploion occurred in Evane's coal*, mine, Haydock, on June 8, at eleven in the morning. The colliery consists of two mines, the TXavenshead and the Florida, and the explosion was confined to the latter. When the men went to work at 6 a.m.* everything was a§ usual. There were 250 men in the Wood pit Colliery, 18 in the Ravenshead, and the rest in the Florida. The Ravenshead men were got out imme diately. Ihe two mines are connected by a tunnel, and it was in working the Florida mine beyond the tunnel that an explosion occurred. It is the general opinion that every man in that part of the mine ia dead. The explorers found dead bodies of men and horses on every side fearfully burnt and mutilated, giving evidence of the fearful force of the explosion. A great fall of coal occurred. The men engaged in exploring the mines are working day and night, endeavouring to reach the place where the bodies are supposed to lie. Great crowds of men and women have assembled in the vicinity of the pit, and great grief prevails. The manager of the mine went down five minutes after the explosion, and, seeing a number of men lying on their faces, opened the ventilating doors, and thus saved the lives of 18 men. The bodies found are much disfigured. THE'GREAT STRIKE IN ENGLAND. During the Lancashire strike the presence of the police and large bodies of military alone held the population in check in the large towns. At Creenhead, near Glasgow, 1,000 operatives struck. At Haslingden a mill was burned down, and there was <great disorder at Preston, where a mob went about smashing windows. Many policemen were injured. At Great Hartford there was a riot, during which almost every window in the town was smashed.

GENERAL VALENTINE BAKER'S

PLUCK.

The Russian line at one time pushed so near to the Turkish works at Constantino ple that the latter were manned, ammun ition was served out, and General Valentine Baker sent his Aid-de-Camp to notify the Russian commander that he would fire on him if he did not withdraw. That portion of the Turkish line, which covers the entrance to the Bosphorus, was very weak, and the Russians naturally desired to Becure it in case of hostilities.

A CHINESE TORNA"DO. From Five to Ten TnctrsAND Lives Destroyed by a Terrific Cyclone at Canton.— Appalling Incidents of the Destruction.

Correspondence of the Hong Kong "Daily Press," dated Canton, April 14, gives the following particulars of the terrible tornado which, visited Canton and its suburbs on the 11 th oi April :— Passing over the Shameen settlement the storm crossed the canal to the city, carrying away in its course the balustrading of the East Bridge ; a native police-station opposite was also completely destroyed. The storm levelled all-iihe houses in its course, making a clean sweep of .everything, for a width of about ax hundred feet. The mortality has been variously estimated at from five to .ten thousand, and probably the latter number is nearer the mark. Nine thousand houses (speaking in round numbers) are known to have been destroyed, and although many of the inmates had notice of the impending disaster by hearing the noise caused by other houses falling, and made their escape, there are more other cases in which great numbers of people were killed by the fall of a single house. For instance, there was an eating-house in which fifty-two assistants were engaged. In this house there were at the time over one hundred people taking re freshment, and none, either assistants or guests, are known to have escaped. In aD other case twenty-four persons were killed by the destruction of a family house. There was also great destruction of boats and about a thousand lives on the water. As to the bearing away of the dead bodies the Chinese authorities seem to have acted with most commendable promptitude. Al most immediately after the catastrophe orders for four thousand coffins were issued by the Oi Yuk Tong Hospital, and up to the time the steamer left three thousand bodies had been recovered from the ruins, and buried without delay. The work of clearing away the debris was proceeding rapidly, but the stench in some places was unmistakable evidence that there were dead bodies still to be extricated. The violence ot the wind for the few minutes it lasted was as great as that of the severest typhoon. Granite blocks were lifted from their places and hurled a considerable dis tance ; thick trees snapped in twain like twigs ; roofs were lifted bodily, and boats were carried far on the shore. A row of houses—all brothels but one—forming one side of a short lane in the city, were the scene of one notable catastrophe. The other side of the lane is formed by the side wall of the Nam Cheong temple, which is some thirty feet high. This wall gave way to the force of the tornado, and fell in upon the opposite houses, the inmates ©f which, about one hundred in number, were all killed, most of them being crushed to death, and the remainder suffocated. There was no means of exit at the back, and no one attempted to dig the bodies out of the ruins The narrow creek is still partially choked up with debris, consisting of broken boats and other wreckage, in which are numbers of dead bodies. In many instances whole families have been crushed to death in one boat. The supply of coffins is nearly exhausted, and the undertakers are now, lain told, charging double prices. The vil lages of Pan Hin Hock and Pah Hock Tang two or three miles to the north, out side the walls, were caught in the storm, ar.d suffered great damage, many dwelling houses and other buildings being destroyed, and numbers of lives lost. The village across the water, opposite to Shameen, was also partially destroyed. I hear that, though the whirlwind did not effect so much damage at Fatshan as in this port, it has made'sevcre havoc. It is stated by Chinese who have come from -there thafc not less than two hundred houses have been laid prostrate, while about half the boats in the river have been wrecked. The loss of life is put down at several hundred. A passage boat, gcoming Jfrom Fatshan to this city, was, when a short distance off, caught in the tornado,, and instantly capsized. About seventy of the passengers were drowned. The tornado, it appears, came from a direc tion quite contrary to that in which the clouds had been travelling immediately preceding it. TERRIBLE FAMINE IN CHINA. United States Minister, Seward, writes of the famine in China, that actual famine is pressing upon 15,000,000 of people, while 60,000,000 are suffering more or less distress. Crops have bnen good immediately around the stricken districts, but as food can be transported only on waggons or pack animals, it cannot bo taken thither in sufficient quantities to save the lives of the people. Iv Tientsin, a house made for the accommodation of suffering womeu and children from the famine districts was burned, and 150 lives lost.
