For tbs cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance. For the future in the distance. And the _ood that we can do

THE North Island Trunk railway is to be continued through from Waikato to Wel lington, via Taranaki, a total distance of 476 miles, of which 239 miles are already constructed. Two 'sections of 50 and 40 miles, connecting Napier and Wellington, will be undertaken. The railway from Thames to Waikato, 48 miles, is to be carried out by the Government; and 2J miles, to bring the Waikato line into Hamilton ; 1\ miles to take the Kaipara line to Kaukapakapa; 7_ miles from Kamo coal mine to deep water—in all, North Island railway works absorbing £2,755,000, constitute the proposals made last night by , the Public Works Minister, which most immediately affect this part of New Zea land. For the South Island, a larger pro gramme is prepared, embracing a railway from Canterbury to the West Coast, and lines penetrating Otago in every direction. The proposed works in the North Island are satisfactory enough to Auckland; butit may reasonably be complained that the compen sation given to the South Island is rather excessive ; the more so because it is dbubt fal whether the North Island trunk Hue can be immediately proceeded with, while there is every reason to believe that no time will be lost in carrying out the. southern lines. We have had experience of this already. Against 741 miles of railroad open in the South Island, the North can only show dis jointed sections amounting to no more than 311 miles. It has frequently been promised that this inequality would be removed, and we are aorry that the Public Works state ment does not afford more evidence of an intention in that direction. The Amber y to Brunnerton line, connecting Christchnrch with the West Coast, is a work which Mr Macandrew evidently experiences difficulty in justifying. It appears to have been thrown in to appease Canterbury, and qualify the extensive works in Otago. But it should have been taken into consideration that Canterbury and Otago had, by antici pation,received enough to satisfy their just claims. In other respects the statement made by the Public Works' Minister is a satisfactory and encouraging one. It inaugurates a new era of public works extending over five years, and contemplates an expendi ture of £8,385,000. To cover this there was on the 30th June an available balance of £2,000,000 from loan ; £3,500,000 the Go vernment hope to draw from revenue during the next five years ; leaving £3,000,000 to be raised by borrowing. MrMacandrewmade out a very good case when treating of the profitable character of railways ; and the Government have acted wisely in withdraw ing from sale blocks of land along the proposed routes. This- disposition to turn the profits arising from enhanced value of land into the public Treasury rather than into the pockets of land jobbers, is one of the best features of the Government pro gramme. We believe the statement will meet with general approval in the House, and will strengthen the position of the Go vernment. . ;

The mail places us in possession of fuller, information concerning the British occupa tion of Cyprus and protectorate over Asia Minor. The nature of the alliance entered into between England and Turkey is thus desedbed by a special correspondent of the "London Telegraph" at Berlin: "Eng-

land and Turkey have concluded a defensive treaty...^England occupies Cyprus imme diately^-and'guarantees the integrity of Asiatic Turkej/. The defensive treaty does hot necessarily come; within the scope of ihe deliberations of {Congress. It; is an in dependent contract between the Powers concerned. 'The validity of it could not be called in question except at the cost of a war. The position of Cyprus will give England absolute control over tho Euphra tes Valley. A line of railway having this object in view "is to be constructed. No further Russian' encroachments in this direction will be; possible. So far as Asia is concerned, England and Tur-_ key will practically form one power." Sir Garnet; Wolseley is appointed to ad minister the affairs of Cyprus, for which place three Indian regiments went from Malta, and also a brigade of European troops. An official statement published in Constantinople, announcing the conclusion of the Anglo-Turkish Alliance says : " Eng land ha 3 engaged to pay the Porte £130,000 yearly, Whereas the present income of the Island of Cyprus is only £120,000." The papers announce the appoiutment of a post master and other officials for the island. Sir Garnet Wolseley has under con sideration the scheme of a financial com pany for the introduction of railways. Ar rangements are also being made for a sub marine cable to Alexandra, which will give direct communication with England. The island will be permanently garrisoned by a small number of European troops —native militia^ doing the rest. The stay of the Indian troops will be temporary. Sir Gar net Wolseley will divide the island into live districts, and decide land titles by a mixed commission. The Queen has issued a proclamation declaring her interest in the islanders and their progress. On the Continent, the alliance is rather adversely criticised, especially in Erance, where a good deal of irritation seems to pre vail on the subject, notwithstanding formal assurances given by England that she will not take independent action regarding Egypt. The advance of a Russian army towards Bokhara was pointed to by French journals, as " the Czar's answer to. the Cyprus treaty." Euglish Liberals, and also a considerable section of the Conser vatives, view the step with distrust, as tending to embarrass England's foreign relations. In Cyprus and on the neigh bouring coast of Syria, however, there is only one feeling—unmixed pleasure. House property in Beyrout and other Syrian villages has risen greatly in consequence. The Cypriotes are enthusiastic, and have sent formal v.otes of thanks to Great Britain for the occupation. Emigration has set in from Egypt, and a line of steamers is pro jected, in England the event caused'a stir. Ifc is amusing to read the advertising columns of the " Times" and see what an influence this little island is having frup-'.n society. It seems as if everyboy wanted to go to Cyprus, or wanted some one else to go ; a sportsman wants to make up a party to go and shoot the game which " swarms" there ; some man who talks Turkish, wants a post as interpreter ; another who under stands the Levant trade wishes to establish a business ; a couple of gentlemen are re quired as directors for a new business to be established in Cyprus ; someone else about to proceed to Cyprus wants a valet to accompany him. In the meantime the British flag is hoisted over some of the scenes of the miracles of the great Apostle of the Gentiles ; Sir Garnet, with his British bayonets* and Goorkhas,_ has taken military possession of the island in the name of the Empress of India, and British gold in the pockets of Cook's tourists is rapidly flowing in that direction. Large fortunes have been made outof Turkish and Egyptian bonds. Aweekorso before, Tur kish stood at £8 10s. In six days they were up to £19, and it is thought possible they may reach par. If England had taken possession of the Suez Canal, as Lord Beacons field fully intended to do when he brought over the Indian contngent, Egyptians would have gone up even more rapidly.

An inquest was held yesterday afternoon before Dr, Goldsbro', coroner, at the Whan Lunatic Asylum, on the body of an inmate named John Minehan, aged 57. Deceased had been a 'bus driver of Onehunga and was admitted into the Asylum on the 31st August last year. The evidence of Dr Aickin and chief-keeper Hardy showed, that Minehan took to his bed on the 17th inst., and gradually sunk, and died on tho night of the 251h. A verdict of " Death from general paralysis " was returned. The very Rev. Father Fyues, Vicar Gene ral and Rev. Father Golden proceeded to the Thames yesterday, with the view of affecting business in connection with the Catholic Church. We underhand that charges of clergy will be made, and that Rev. Father O Reilly of Coromadnel will be stationed at tho Church in Willoughby street Shortland.

We understand that the parishioners of All Saints' Church, intend sending home by the next outgoing mail, an order for a grand organ for their church. A meeting is to be held in the school-room, I'onsonby, this evening at 7.30 p.m., for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements, wheu we are sure that the importance of the mat ter will guarantee a large and influential gathering. Major Withers proceeded to the Thames to-day, for the purpose of inspecting the hames Volunteers

The Treasurer of the V.M.C.A. acknow ledges with thanks the following sums received for the mortgage debt: —J. and J. Dickey, £5; Upton and Co., £10; Mr Blackburn, 20s ; Mr Adams, jun., 20s ; Mrs White, 20s ; Mr Dingwall, 20s ; Mrs Savory, 20s ; Mr Waters, 20s ; Mr W. J. Taylor, £5 ; Mr Percy Smith, £2 2s. Rev D. Dutton will deliver a lecture this evening in the Alexandra-street Chapel on "Knowledge, its importance, and how to gain it." Chair to be taken at half-past seven o'clock.

Major Gordon, formerly at the head of tha Auckland Volunteers, has been appointed to the charge of the Otago Volunteer Force by the Government. The appointment oould not have fallen upon an officer more capable of performing the important duties of the position. Captarn Fraser and Inspector Thomson, are about to - investigate certain charges made by Mrs McManus, of the Thames, against the police for alleged ill-treatment of her daughter, an inmate of the lunatic asylum. The report of their investigation will be forwarded to the Minster of Justice.

Mr Charles Dromgool, of Tuakaii, has forwarded a numerously signed memorial to Mr Hamlin, for presentation to the House ot Representatives, for the payment of 500 railway sleepers taken over by the railway authorities.

Mr' Henry Keeaing, jun., of this city, pro ceeded yesterday by the steamer southward, in order that his claim for compensation might be considered in. connection with his gold-find in the Hauraki gold-field in the years 1867-8. The danger attendant en the careless practice of smokers in keeping lighted pipes in their pockets was fully exemplified this morning. A gentleman was proceeding down Wellesley-street, when he was aston ished to hear a number of persons calling " fire " after him, and on turning round he found that the waterproof cloak Avhich he was carrying ou his arm was in flames. He immediately rolled the bundle up, thus extinguishing the flames. Gentlemen addicted to the use of tobacco cannot be too careful in seeing that no sparks remain ii their pipes when placing them in their pockets. The fishing smack Martha brought in over a ton of various kinds of fishes last evening, which caused quite a sensation among dealers and hawkers. Mr Greenaway announces that he wiil be a candidate for the City Council at the ap proaching election. We perceive that a lodge named the Star of Auckland is about to he formed, affiliated with the American Independent Order of Oddfellows. A notice go this effect appears in another column.

NEWTON BOROUGH PETITION.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., KM., and D. A. Tote, Esq., Chief Commissioner of Waste Lands.)

NEWTON PETITIOTS. The adjourned inquiry into the genuine ness of a number of signatures to a petition presented by Mr Duke in favour of the con stitution of Newton into a borough, was resumed this morning in this Court. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for Mr Uuke, the defendant. . _, . Peter McEweu, shoemaker, of East Newton, deposed that he was a tenant in the Karangahapo district. _ He made a declaration that he never signed the peti tion, and he would still adhere to that declaration. The petition was shewn to witness with his signature attached, when he replied that he had signed one paper tor Mr Jeune, but that was against the for mation of a borough. To Mr Russell : Could not remember whether Mr Duke ever spoke to him about a petition. The signature was not his. _ Mr Barstow : Just now you said _you did sign ; now you said you did not. Witness : It _is like my signature your Worship. " Mr Russell: Then that signature is a forgery 1 Witness : Yes ; it must be. Evidence continued : Lived next door to Dr. Wallis. Signed a petition one evening, but understood that it was for the purpose of getting Mr Martin into the school. Had only signed two petitions, and one declara tion for any purpose. He might have been in favour of a borough at first, but could not remember what occurred three or four years ago. Marchman, plumber, of South street, Newton, deposed that he signed the declaration before Mr Pierce. That sig nature was his, but he could not swear that the signature on the petition was his. He signed a petition agamst, but not for, the borough. Had signed only one petition. John Tilley, gardener, residing in East street, Newton, deposed that he sanctioned the signing of his name in the course of last year to Mr Duke, and at another time to Mr Burns to keep away taxation. (Laugh ter). Robert Blakeley, storeman, of West-street, Newton, signed the declaratiou, but not the petition. Mr Joseph Warren explained that this was not the man. The person, Robert Blakeley, was in the employ of Dr Purchas, and quite an old man. He signed in his (Mr Warren's) shop. Henry Thomas Garratt deposed that he lived in East-slreet, Newton, and was an expressman. He knew two jPipers, father and son.

Mr Cheiry said that three Pipers had signed, and two only could be found.Jjj His Worship : Then you have too many Pipers ? Mr Russell : And too little music. H*_Mr Garratt gave evidence of his know ledge of a number of persons whose names were on the petition, but who had not signed, some of whom did hot sign in favour of the borough, among whom were Messrs Savage, Honeycombe, Oliver, Reid, Tilly, Mcllroy, E. Christmas, Bain, Aldriage, Jamieson, and about twelve others. Mr Russell complained that witness had been an active mover in the matter, pos sibly on commission, and was misleading the Court as to one J. B. Godkin, who still lived in the neighbourhood, or in the New North Road. The witness should have been prepared to substantiate his asser tions.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before A. Beetham Esq., Justices of the

Peace.)

A MISTAKE.—A man of respectable appearance, named Roberts, was charged with being found on the premises of Mr Cook, on the evening of the 27th inst, while under the influence of drink.—Mr Laishley admitted the fact, and explained the mis take, there was no felonious intent.—The Bench considered that an offence had been committed. —Forty-eight hours' imprison-

ment.

Larceny of a Jug.—Mary Ann Steele, |__&n elderly woman, was charged Avith stealing a water jug from tha_|Park Hotel, the property of George A.

THAMES GAS COMPANY.

A full meeting of tho directors and share holders of tho Thames Gas Company (Limited), was held this afternoon in Mr f. A. White's office, Shortland-street, Joaeph Howard, Esq., in the chair.

HTho seventh annual report was presented to the meeting, recommending payment of a dividend of is Gd per share, which, together w.th tho interim dividend paid iv Match, is equal to 8 per cent, per annum on paid up capital, absorbing £718135. It was recommended that tho sum of £200 bo placed to credit of Reserve Fund, and the balauco bo carried forward to next year.

BJThe chairman said it was unnecessary for mm to make any lengthened remarks on the report and balance-sheet. Everything lookea well, and the company was in a much better position than in preceding years. He would move the adoption of tho roport and balance sheet.

Mr Macffarlano seconded.

Carried unanimously,

Mr Owen Jones, the retiring director, was re-elected, and Mr George Fraser was re appointed auditor.

The chairman announced that tho books of tho company would bn closed from the 2nd to the 6th Bept. for the payment of the dividend. On the motion of Mr Stone a vote of thanks was accorded to the chairman, and the meeting closed.

_g___3 SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A SEMOUS accident occurred to a little boy named Thomas Gallagher, aged about six years, to-day. He.was amusing himself with his schoolmates in the playground of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic School, Hobson-street, when he fell over a quantity of window glass lying on the ground. His leg was cut severely, the flesh being laid open. Medical assistance was quickly obtained, and the wound, which bled profusely, and was of a very painful nature, dressed. The little fellow fellow bore his suffering very firmly throughout.

THE A IRE ROYAL.

GREAT SUCCESS OF MR CHAPLIN. THE drama of "Enoch Arden" was re peated at the Theatre last night and proved quite as successful as on the occa sion of its production. Mr Chaplin's Enoch cannot fail to strike every one as a very complete and perfect piece of acting, for it is neither extravagant nor tame, but simply natural. In the first act he is ahappj', joy ous sailor, in the second a thoughtful man with heavy responsibilities, in the fourth a sick mariner, all but killed by solitude, and in the fifth a broken-hearted husband, pre maturely aged by sorrow and suffering. Each phase of the character was excellently 1 epresented and the artist well deserved the applause which rewarded his efforts. He was called before the curtain two or three times. Mrs Hill as Annie, and Mr Steele as Philip, acted with force and feeling. Praise is also due to Mr Burford who made a good deal out of a very trivial part.

j . TO-NIGHT a drama called "Money and Misery" will be produced.

THE. SERIOUS FAMILY

is in preparation, and will be produced on Friday, with Mr G. D. Chaplin as Captain Murphy Maguire, a part which he is said to play remarkably well.

European Summary.

SAN FBANCISCO, August 8. The Zealandia carries a large number of passengers, and a full line of freight. GeorgeJ Rignold ( " Henry V.") is among the passengers.—The following is a sum mary of European telegraphic news received at this point since sailing of preceding steamer :—Ceremonies in honour of Beaconslield and Salisbury at Guildhall, on the 4th, were denounced by a person who denounced the Plenipotentiaries as "Traitors to the Constitution." —Kelly, Fenian, has been liberated from Mountjoy prison, on account of ill-health. — The Vatican demands the repeal of the anti- Jesuit law and unlimited control of clerical patronage in Germany. The demands, it is thought, will not be conceded. If they are the German Parliament will again _be dissolved. — Nobeling attempted suicide with a scissors on the 4th.— The results of the recent German elections are :93 Conservatives, 110 of various National Liberal parties, and 96 Ultramontanes. — General Kauffniann will not supercede Todleben, as reported. Captain Webb attempted to swim in the Thames for 36 hours continuously, without rest; but owing to high wind left the water after completing 22 miles in nine hours.—The gift of the freedom of the city to Lords Beacoiisfield and Salisbury took place in London on the 3rd instant. The ceremonies were imposing, and the banquet at the Mansion House afterwards was a grand affair. Most of the Ministers were present.—The Berlin treaty was ratified by all the Powers except Turkey.—Bismarck is asked by Greece to induce Turkey to come to come to terms.—Russia is still buying North German Lloyd and Hambury steamships. Locusts are ravaging Madras. ATTACK ON THE ANGLO-TURKISH

TREATY.

Lords Granville and Beaconslield had sharp words in the House of Lords on the 29th, on account of the latter's attack on Gladstone. Beaconsfield defended his con duct.

The debate on the Hartington resolution, expressing dissatisfaction with the Berlin treaty, commenced in the House on the 29th ult. The mover of the resolution made a powerful attack on the Anglo- Turkish Convention, and asked if the British Government would have deemed a similar agreement between Russia and Turkey justifiable? He claimed that Cyprus was useless for the defence of Asia- Minor. Sir Charles Dilke, Evelyn Ansley, and Grant Duff followed on the same side. Captain Cochrane, David A. Plunkett, and Randwall Plunkett were opposed. Under-Secretary Bonrke replied to Lord Hartington at length. Mr Glad stone resumed the debate on the 30th by reading a letter addressed to Earl Beaconslield, asking him to cite in stances in support of his accusation of unjust and reckless attacks. Later Lord Beaconslield, in noticing the letter, said the task would involve a search over-a period of two-and-a-half years. He cites expres sions of Mr Gladstone that he (B.) had degraded and debased the great name of England. The debate lasted three days. The division was : 195 in favour of the resolution, and 338 against it. The result was received with loud and prolonged cheering. -
