Mr J. A. Roebuck has been appointed Privy Councillor, it is said as a mark of the Queen's approval of the support which he gave to the policy of the Government in opposition to Liberal leaders on Eastern questions. The Queen, after visiting the Duchess ot Roxburgh at Broxmouth en route, has gone to Balmoral. The United States are again endeavour in<* to persuade Canada to bring herself within the fiscal tarift of the Union. The German Federal Council has adopted a stringent Socialists Bill proposed by Prussia, with some modifications in details An American has crossed the Channel in an india-rubber collapsible canoe, with .a propeller worked by the feet. Commander Cameron is about to make a -fcourthrough Asia Minor aud Persia to India, for the purpose of surveying a railway route from the Mediteranean to India, not through the Valley of the Euphrates. AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS AND PLAYERS. A series of difficulties arose between the Australians and the English players in reference to tlie match fixed for Monday next at the Oval. The Australians declined to play the Players on the terms of £20 each man, which the Players state was paid by them-to the Australian Eleven at the benefit of the English team in Australia. The generalfeeliug of the sporting papers is that the Australians are not in the riobt. The Maharajah of Kypoor's brother, and other native princes, were attached k> Sir Neville Chamberlain's mission to Arghan istan. News has been received through Cabul of the death of the beir apparent on the 17th of August j au unauthenticated re port states that Seakoof escaped during the confusion following the death or Adballah Jan, heir apparent, aud fled in the direction oi Ghaseni. The tribes on the north-west frontier, though manifesting keen interest in the arrival of the Russian Embassy for Cabul, are all friendly and orderly, and the Kyberites were indisposed to place difficulties in the way of the passage of Sir Neville Chanibeilain's party through the Khyber Pass. INDIAN MATTERS. The Indian contingent has commenced ar'.v insc at Bombay from Cyprus. The enforcement of the license, tax according to the views of the Collector of Bombay is meet ing with steady opposition from all classes. The trial of native editors at Burnt, charged with inciting the inhabitants to riot and icsist tax, continues. The "Madras Mail publishes a rumour that the Duke of Buckingham micceeds Sir George Bowen as Governor of Victoria. A hope is expressed that the Australian Cricketers may visit India on their way back to Australia. . Great depression of trade prevails in India. About one hundred and fifty vessels are now lying in Calcutta, of which but few have charters. A similar state of things also exists about Bombay. Bains are being bountiful throughout the country. Crops are reported everywhere as being favourable, Burmah excepted, where the rainfall is very deficient.

DRURY, this day.

BREAK-DOWN OF THE ENGINE. The engine ot the passenger train broke down two miles beyond Drury, while goiug up an incline. The disabled en gine was one of the new imbecile ones. The suspension spring and link on the port side broke. The train steered safely down the incline back to the station, and is waiting for the goods train.

MERCER, this day.

The passengers per this morning's train toiWaikato were much aggravated by the breaking down, near Drury, of the engine, which is a new one. It is generally under stood that the lour new locomotives were bought on the only recommendation that they were £800 cheaper than the others, and it is well-known that the whole of these en gines have repeatedly been run into the le pairing shop during the short period they have been in use. After waiting about an hour at Drury the passengers were glad dened by the arrival of the goods train, from which was obtained the welcome services of the old, despised, but at present superior en gine, viz., the "Marmion," commander, P. Neville. A fresh start was made, the passengers being glad once more to resume their journey, while the broken-down puffer was left to drift back to Auckland and in the fitting shop find a harbour of refuge, and anotner broken-down brother, suffering from weak nerves and an overstrained system. In view of the immense business expected to be done on the line during the next summer it is absolutely an injustice to the general manager to expect him to meet public demands, without supplying him with the necessary steam power. This morning, but for the fact that goods trains run South daily at the present time, an engine would have had to be forwarded from Auokland to take on the train.

WELLINGTON, this day. THE GOVERNOR AND THE CABBIES.

A deputation of cab proprietors waited ,on the Governor to-day to present a petition against the employment of steam on the tramway. His Excellency, in reply, inti mated that he thought the escape of steam from the tramway engines was very objec tionable, especially as the streets were so narrow. Ho promised to refer the petition -to his Ministers. His Excellency added that he himself was very chary about driving through the town, because of the escape of steam from the engines; and owing to that cause he had been out very /little of late. A JUDICIAL BLUNDER.

Mr Justice Richmond took his seat upon the Bench at the Supreme Court this morn ing, when the charge of forgery against A. EL McLean should have been heard. It, however, transpired that no jury had been >snmnioned. In answer to his Honor Mr Allan, (Sheriff) said he had made out the ■summonses, and had handed them to the police to serve. His Honor said it was quite plain that some one was to blame, but he did not exactly know where the blame lay. There must be three clear days, notice given before another jury •could '.be empannelled, and he supposed that the business of the Court must be delayed until then.—Mr Travers said there was another inconvenient re sult of the late change in the appointment of sheriff. There were no sheriffs officers, and summonses had to be served by the police.—His Honor said things certainly did not work smoothly now. It was like a new patch on an old garment,- ,nd did not harmonise. He Avas afraid the _ change •would .cause some trouble. —Mr Olliver, "A great deal, your Honor."—His Honor : "Oh but it will be for the good of the profession, you know, Mr Olliver. There is a fine Har vest for you. "—Mr Olliver :"A bad crop, I'm afraid."—His Honor : " It may be bad for the plants, but not so bad for the gar dener. I think it inexpedient to interfere with the Special Jury cases ex cept that of McLean v. Nicholson." —Mr Trayers said that if the civil cases were first taken it would involve the anomaly of a prisoner in a criminal _charge giving evidence in his own defence, -as of course he would be called as a witness ■m the civil case.—His Honor: "I hope the time is coming when the criminal may be heard in his own defence. I may now call myself a criminal judge of some e_> perieace, for I have presided for something like sixteen years in criminal courts, and my own. opinion is that such an alteration would fend in favour of the innocent and against the guilty."—Mr Travers :" I made an effort that way myself by introducing a bill into -foe House, but the opinion of the cooo&ry appeared to be against the change. I suppose your Honor would have if; optional on the prisoner whether he gave eyideuce or not, but if he did he would be liable to cross-examina tion."—His Honor : " Well, you could not compel a man to answer questions, which

would tend.to criminate himself, but if he refused that refusal would be very signifi cant. 1 say, looking at it a priori, that I believe the change would further the ends of justice." After some further conversation, Mr Olliver said the civil cases of McLean v. Nicholson did not touch the forgery except. as a collateral matter, and Mr Travers then withdrew his objec tion. His Honor said he had come to the decision to decide upon nothing at pre sent. He expected the Chief Justice would arrive from Nelson to-morrow morning, and he would consult with him as to the best way of getting out of the diffi culty. One of them muat go to the Wan ganui Circuit Sittings on the 28th, but in a day or two they could decide upon some plan of action, and in the meantime he would adjourn the Court until Thursday.

REEFTON, this day, SERIOUS FIRE.

A fire broke out here last night, destroy ing five shops and premises. The fire was arrested before .getting to Master's, whole sale ironmonger, who is insured. The others were not.

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Arrangements have been made to run a special train from Invercargill to Christ church on the occasion of the forthcoming races and Agricultural Show, which will be held on the sth, 6th, 7th, and 9th Nov. THE FLOODS. At a preliminary meeting re the floods in Otago yesterday, only two gentlemen were present, Mr Jno. Olliver and the Mayor. A telegram was read from the Mayor of Dunedin, stating that it had been decided not to go outside the province of Otago for aid. All the rivers have subsided, but a great deal of damage has been done in various ways. The railway communica tion with the Kaiapoi will probably be interrupted for a week. The damage to the Rangitata bridge has been so far re paired that passengers can to-day cross on foot to meet the connecting trains.

The War in New Caledonia.

O.PERATIONS AGAINST THE

REBELS.

Noumea, September 21st. Fifty volunteers are ready to start for tlie north. The spirited manner in which, des pite all adverse circumstances, the colonists have acted all throughout this sad series of trouble is something as remarkable as it is admirable; the more especially when com plaints are general of conduct so shameful as to be beyond credence, were the witnesses and sufferers not so numerous. It is a mat ter of public notoriety and scandal in the town that had an officer of gendarmes, to whom was entrusted a company of soldiers, acted with the courage ola school girl, the revolt at Boulapari would in all probability have been crushed out the day of its outburst. This officer arrived on the scene whilst the bodies of the victims were still warm. He fled to his men, only a few miles—five or six— distant, and there entrenched himself for the night, refusing every appeal for assistance. It is an absolute fact that when the husband of a poor mutilated and supposed dying woman asked this personage why lie did not send back some men with the messenger he sent ahead for aid to protect the small body of helpless women and children expecting to be pursued and massacred by the blacks, he unbiushingly replied, "Ma peau d'abord" (my own skin first). Another party, com prising six children below the age of seven years, two women, and eleven men, after walking for miles—the children barefooted —traversing rivers up to their necks, and enduring dreadful hardships, were con ducted by a brave convict man to a point of land, Pointe Noir, a mile or so from a gendarmes poste. Three of the band of fugitives (three convicts) made the tour of the bay several miles in order to ask the loan of a boat from the gendarmes who had several, for the purpose of bringing one helpless band acoss the water into safety. The boat was refused, and the owner of a small coaster, who at once ex pressed his determination to go across in his boat for the people, was prevented doing so by the gendarmes-, who sent back one of the convicts to conduct the wearied terrified group to the poste where they arrived, wet to the skin, as they had been all day, at about 10 o'clock at night, saved by the poor convict, who frequently had to go on his hands and knees to distinguish the difficult track by which he was piloting the poor creatures. This is the account rendered by several of the principal actors in the dread scene. On the same da}', when the officer of the gendarmes fled from Boularpari, four stockmen applied to the gendarmes at the nearest post for help and arms, in order to return to Boularpari. Both were refused. With nothing but their stockwhips they returned, found the blacks nearly all help lessly drunk, lying or rolling about in all directions. They flogged them with their whips. Had the gendarme officer who was trembling in his shoes but four or five miles distant returned with his twenty-nine soldiers, he could have captured the whole lot. The very name of a gendarme is a word of reproach here. 22nd. Fighting is generally carried on by the troops and friendly natives from the East Coast against the rebels in the neighbour 'bourhood of Bourail and Poya. TRACKING THE NATIVES. September 23. The body of poor Monsieur Houdaillehas been found by the officer commanding a detachment of twenty-five soldiers, who, with 250 faithful natives of the Houailon tribes on the east coast, attacked the rebels at Adio, killing several, and putting the rest to flight. A friendly chief was wounded by a gunshot, one of those rare in stances in which the enemy have succeeded in wounding the attacking party. On every occa- i sion the rebels have been beaten oft igno miniously, and ■with heavy loeses. Rarely is there any casualty on the side of *c attacking party. Several petty chiefs are killed, in addi tion to the important chiefs whose deaths have been already reported. The tribes of the Boular pari and Foa districts are so weakened by the many losses inflicted upon them, that, as 1 was informed yesterday, by an officer iust returned from the scene of operations, they have changed their usual habits and places of camping. No longer can their whereabouts be calculated übon with any more certainty than that of astray horse. In fact, they have now to be tracked very much in the same way as many an old bushman, with bridle over his shoulder, has gone at early dawn, in search of his errant steed. Although the revolt has spread to the tribes north of and at Bourail, up to the present it seems to limit itself somewhat, as in the Foa and Boularpari districts. There is grave cause for apprehension that it may extend. There is equally good hope of its not doing so. from the fact of tho co-operation of several friendly and powerful tribes, their defeat on all occasions when the rebels are found, the large number killed already, and though last (not least) the energetic measures pursued by Monsieur dcs Essarts, a superior officer, com mander of ,the most powerful man-of-war here. This gentleman haa been gazetted as Com mander-in-Chief of the northern part of New Caledonia. With a troop of his trusty sailors, he has personally traversed the rugged mountains in the very heart of the most powerful and doubtful tribes. His personal visits, backed up by the knowledge of his powerful vessel being on the coast, must have an excellent effect, strengthening the allegiance of the faithful tribes and deterring the open rebellion of such a>j are vacillating. Bad as the situation is, and small though the military force at the service of the colony, we may yet hope that, aiied by the ex cellent spirit of the colonists, the Government may, by tho adoption of vigorous measures to the utmost of their power, prevent the full ex tension of this revolt in quarters where it would be a work of time, difficulty, and cost to stifle it. The detention of the frigate Tage with her powerful crew until some more forces arrive is a step hailed with great satisfaction. THE COUNTRY IN MOURNING. September 25. Yesterday was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the foundation of the colony oi New Caledonia. In all previous instances the occasion has been observed with joy and festivites. Regattas, races, athletic games, fireworks, Government Ssall, &c, Sec This year the country is in general •mourning, and a mass for the victims held in ■the church was the only thing to mark the day, unless the fears entertained by some timid createires that the day would be signalised by some demonstration on the part of the Kanakas, which some wag, on seeing an officer of genda rmes dash through the town, followed by an orderly, at a pace rather more rapid than usual, declared had commenced, and the first fugitives had arrived. A SURPRISE. September 26.

Information from Bourail announced that a band of from 150 to 200 canaques made a sudden dash at the post, formed by the company of

sailors from the Lamothe-Piquet, at Guaro, a place on the seaboard about ten miles from BouraL They were so warmly received that they beat, as many as were able, a more rapid retreat than advance. One surveillant shot seven. This result of an attempted surprise will cool their ardour somewhat.

DESTRUCTION OF NATIVE VILLAGE. September 27. Colonel Wendling, during a short visit to head quarters, brings the gratifying intelligence that the revolt may be considered quite stamped out in the Boularpari district.

All the villages, to the number of nearly fifty, the plantations, cocoanuts, bananas, taros, sugar cane, every ordinary means of subsistence, are utterly demolished. For some time the hunted blacks have been digging up the roots of the " mananyah," a wild creeper, glad to save them selves thus from starvation. " Postes" are formed and roads cut in all directions. The soldiers have had no feather-bed time of it— every second day twelve hours' marching over fearful mountains, accompanied by a hard working band of friendly natives, whose abili ties for destruction are described by the Colonel as something remarkable. The few remaining natives of the Boularpari tribes are reported to have fled towards Bourail to join the new insur gents there. A post is to be formed near the scene of poor Houdaille's massacre, and will be invaluable to the .settlers. Cannibalism is now known to exist amongst the rebels. The most incorrect statements are published in the French papers respecting this revolt, to the effect that as was officially announced the "Government, was master of the situation, and th« revolt stamped out." The Krench public will learn very differently by this mail un fortunately. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

All continues quiet throughout tho island, except in those districts Hlready reported in revolt. Several parties aio in pursuit of the rebels at various places, and on all occasions when they ootne in contact th« losses of the rebels are very heavy. Many rifles and re volvers have been recovered. The troops, which for two months have been engaged in the district of Bo larpari, now quiet, will furnish a valuable ountiagvnt of experieucod and tried men for service at and to the north of Bourail.

KELLY AND LEON TO-NIGHT.

The mail steamer Zealandia, which arrived from Sydney this morning, brought Messrs Kelly and Leon's Minstrel and Burlesque Opera Company, which will open at the Theatre Royal this evening, This combi nation of talent is highly spoken of by the Australian press, which refers in glowing terms to the excellent character of their performances, which, as the name implies, consist of negro miuistrelsy aud burlesque opera. The company includes, amongst other artistes, the following talented gentle men :—Mr Leon (the versatile imperson ation of female character), Mr Beaumont Reid (one of the finest altos in the world), Mr C. S. Fredericks (first tenor), Mr J. H. Surridge (second tenor), Mr E. Kelly (tenor robusto), Mr William Ball (basso). The comedians are Messrs Kelly, Courtright, Lester, and Japanese Tommy, a comedian two inches less in statue that the world renowned Tom Thumb. If we may take the criticisms of the Australian press as a criterion by which to form our opinions of Messrs Kelly and Leon's combination, then we can only refer to them in terms of the highest praise. The entertainments are certainly of a most unique nature, and with the aid of their taleuted company of vocalists and comedians Messrs Kelly and Leon should draw large audiences.

MR FOX AND THE WORKING MAN'S BEER.

(To the Editor of the Star.) Sir,—Permit me to point out an incongruity in Mr Fox's statement regarding the working man and his baer, as quoted by you from •'Hansard" iv his speech on the Beer Tax. I refer to the following expression:—"Well, a great many working men do not care anything about breakfast, they take a snack and a glaes o£ beer at the first place they oome to." This is a libel on the working man, and shows Mr Fox's ignorance. Any working man who prefers his beer to his breakfast, would take a pint of his favourite beverage, not a glass. Fancy a work ing man calling for a gla«8 of beer at a public house. The idea is absurd. Fox is an ass.— Yours, Sec, Working Man.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before J. Cosgrave, Esq., (Chairman), and A, Clements, Esq. Justices of the Peace).

Moon- Worship. — James Smitherson was fined ss. and costs for drunkenness.

Bloomless Mary.—A young woman, named Mary Storey, whose previous convictions equal the number of weeks in the year, was again brought up on a charge of drunkenness and vio lent conduct last night in Queen-street.—Con stable McConnell deposed that the young woman was very drunk, and rolling on the pavement hi Queen-street. It was with difficulty that he, even with a hand-cart, could get her to the station. —The Bench said that although there were a number of convictions against the prisoner, this was the first offence since her liberation.—Fined ss. and costs.

A Sad Case.—Sarah Steele, an old woman near eighty years of age, was brought up on a charge of stealing £1 notes, the property of Alfred D. Hammond, on the 14th inst.—Prisoner, in a tremulous voice, pleaded guilty.—Sub-In spectoi said that Mrs Steele kept a lodging-house in Parnell, and Mr Hammond had been lodging in her house for some time, and had continually missed money from his apartment. At length he intimated the fact to the police, who found four of his notes upon tho prisoner.—Mr Hammend, who was present, said ho should be very sorry to see the old person sent to prisou on his account, as she was very feeble and infirm. He would rather suffer the loss of his money.—Sub-Inspector Pardy said that Mrs Steele haunevcr been convicted of larceny before, and he would rather withdraw the charge than press it.—The Bench considered the conduct both of Mr Hammond and Mr Pardy as honourable, and to be commended, and the charge v/as with drawn.

A Father's Neglect.—John Lorcntinc was charged with neglecting to contribute towards the support of his son in tho Industrial Home, in accordance with an order of the Court. Arrears, £13 lis.

This was all the business.

MDLLE. CHARBONNET'S CONCERT.

The announcement that Mdlle. Charbonnet would give another of her concerts had tho effect of filling the dress circle of the Theatre Royal with a cultivated and fashionable audience. The concert opened with the song of the " Vaga bond," sung with much effect by Mr Charles Harding, accompanied by Miss James. Miss Florence Neville's rendering of the aria in "I Barbiere" was performed with good taste,andin a later part of the evening, she sang the beautiful serenade, with vio; in obligate by Mr Cope. This lady alao .took the feminine part in a grand operatic duet with Mr Charles Harding, and in each she displayed discriminating judgment and careful study. The great events of ihe evening, however, were the parts assigned to Mdlle. Charbonnet. The grand pianoforte concerto in G. minor, by Mendelssohn, Allegro, Andante, and Finale, with second piano and string accompaniment by Mdlle. Alice Char bonnet, Miss Turrell, Messrs D. Cope, Hemus, Eady, and McKenzie, was perhaps the chef d'oevre of the evening. This combination of instruments was exoeedingly pleasing, al though not quite so good as the quartette at the previous concert It was followed by immense applause. The duet, two pianos, by Mdlle. Charbonnet and Miss Gertrude James.being Mansour's " Marche; dcs Syluhes," was alsoadelightful performance! the auditory (including one gentleman in the reserved seats who cast no less than four bouquets at the feet of Mdlle. Charbonnet) literally strewed the stage with flowers, which the fair pianiste picked up in her light-hearted manner. At the close of the duet Mdlle. Charbonnet was pleased to testify her appreci ation of Miss Gerrtude James' merits, by catching her by her two hands and shak ng her heartily, looking at the audience, to Witness her appreciation of local talent. The duet by Miss Davenport and Signor Pompei. although delivered in a foreign tongue, was well received, and the performers were re-called to repeat a part of "EHsire d'&more." Signor seemed to be suffering the disadvantage of a cold. Among others Miss Turrell must be mentioned with respect. Her violin solo, with variations, of " Home Sweet Home," was painstaking. Her careful execution on the violin reflect great credit both upon her own musical capabilities, and those of her in structor, Professor Cope. The fairy form of the violinist and the sweet strains she elicited from the instrument brought forth a storm of applause, which only ceased with the re-appearance of Miss Turrell, with another solo. The second part of the programme was equally entitled to merit. The tong "The Bandit's Life," by Mr Harding, and the sweet ditty "I wish mamma was here," were ably rendered. Miss Davenport was eminently successful with her pretty song, and received marked approbation. The grand soio "Carnival of Venice," and the fine patriotic duet from "William Tell," were perfect under the hands of Mdlle. Charbonnet, 'and need no praise. Signor Pompei, in a glee ful manner, rendered the "Aria Buffo" (Rossini) with wonderful activity and merriment of guise. Mr D. Cope and Mr Hemus, on their separate but harmonious violins, were in their happiest moods, and performed excellently. The features of this concert, as an event of locaJ interest to the Auckland musical world, were undoubtedly the singing of Mr Harding, whomi we never heard in better voice, and the playing .of Miss James, whose brilliant execution on the pianoforte gives promise of great excellence. Mddle. Charbonnet gave a very successful instruction concert io. the Chorai Hall this afternoon.

PARLIAMENTARY

FROM 0 UR SPECIALREPORTE

(BY STAR SPECIAL WIRE),

WELLINGTON, this day GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL FOR AUCK-

LAND,

The Girls' High School Bill passed the Waste Lands Committee to-day, with the following alterations :—Clause 11 providing a site near the Choral Hall was struck out, but the endowment was increased. Land to the yalue of £5,000 to be set aside by the Government from the Waste Lands of the Crown or from the present reserves, for secondary education as they think fit. The Auckland members met yesterday to consider further the object of the secon dary education, and Messrs O'Rorke, Morris, Macfarlane, and Moss (chairman), were ap pointed to draw up a report to lay before the meeting, at an adjourned meeting to-day. THE LAND TAX BILL. The second reading of the Land Tax Bill was carried in the Legislative Council to day on the voices, after a long debate, in the course of which the Hon. Mr Water house maintained that property bore a fair share of the burdens of the country.—Sir Dillon Bell declared that the country was iv a hopeless state financially. RELIGIOUS EDUCATIONAL TRUSTS. In reply to Mr Gisborne the Premier said the Government were not satisfied in all cases with the fulfilment of the trusts of several educational and other trust estates held directly under grant from the Crown upon special trusts for religious, educational, or charitable purposes ? Some of the trusts, he said, had been alienated from their original purposes. They must, however, be dealt with separately. KATIKATI LAND. In reply to Mr Morris, Mr Ballance said 20 per cent of £5,000, paid on account of the Katikati Settlements, had not been paid to the Tauranga County Council, because it was paid on the 31st December, and the Financial Arrangement Act of last year did not come into force until Ist January. BROGDEN'S CASE. In reply to a question, the Attorney- General said after various negotiations, permission would be given to Messrs Brogden to try one action against the Gov ernment. BAY OF ISLANDS ROLL. Sir Robert Douglas, in introducing his bill to effect the purging of the Bay of Islands roll, said that he did not believe it would be allowed to reach second reading. Mr Sheehan said the Government would not offer any objection unless it touched public revenues. THE EXPECTED PROROGATION. Sir Oeorge Grey announced that the Government hoped to get through all business this week, so as to prorogue next Tuesday. SCHOOL BUILDING. A discussion arose on Mr Ormond'* motion to increase the vote of £100,000 for school buildings. Mr Ballance said circulars were sent to each Board, and they estimated their total requirements for buildings at about £200,000. This sum could not possibly be provided this year, but he proposed to meet the difficulty in this way :^-In the Appropriation Bill the words " first moiety" would be in serted, leaving the other moiety of £100,000 for next year's Estimates. In the mean time, in cases where it was absolutely necessary, the Boards would be allowed to draw this year on their next year's allowances. The motion was withdrawn. ESTIMATES. The House then went into Committee of Supply. Considerable progress was made, after which the House rose shortly before 2 a.nu DIVISION OF AUCKLAND INTO WARDS. The following is the petition for division of the city Into wards, and the proposod boun daries, which will probably be proclaimed by the Governor.'—"l. That your petitioners are burgesses of tho Borou«h of Auckland, In the Provincial District of Auckland, and are desirous that your Excellency shall divide the s»id Borough of Auckland into wards as pro vided by Soction No. 21 of the Municipal Cor porations Act, 1876. 2. That the number of persons on the present burgess roll of the said Borough of Auckland is 1,510. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that your Excellency will bo pleased to divide the said Borough of Auckland into wards,and y our petitioners in duty bound will ever pray." (Here follow the signa tures). It is proposed to divide the borough into three wards as follows: North ward, bounded by line oommencing on the western side of tho Queen-street whaif at the city boundary, thence along the western side of the said wharf, and up the middle of Queen-street to its junction with "Wellesley-street, thence along the middle of Wellesley-street, and in a line with tho same direction to Freeman's Bay, thence by sea to starting point. The south ward is bounded by a line oommencing the middle of Queen and Wellesley-streets, thence along t the middle of Queen-street to city boundary, thence by the city boundary to a point where tho production of the middle of Wellesley-street intersects the said boundary, thence along the said production and middle of Wellesley-street to its junction with Queen-street, the starting point. The east ward comprises all that portion of the city of Auckland not included in the above described wards.

Second Edition.

The Mail Steamer Ashore,

The mail steamer Zealandia went ashore off St. George's in going out of the harbour on her way to San Francisco shortly before five o'clock this afternoon. She had not been got off at 5.30 p.m. Great excitement was caused by the circumstance, it being feared that the steamer will sustain cnnsiderable damage.

Gas is superior to every other material a a, light-giving agent, not only on account of its brilliancy and its cheapness, but because it is safer, economises time and labour, and is more easily managed. Amongst all classes of society it is in high favour; taking rank with the necessaries, as well as the elegancies of life. It merits whatever ban be said on its behalf. Those w.bo have enjoyed its advantages are always the most ready, as they are also the most competent to pro claim its praise.—[See Advertisement.!

Two handsome .donations are reported by the Melbourne papers. Mrs Mary Roberts, of Sydney, has given £1,000 t'q the Prince Alfred Hospital, and Mr W. E. Stahbriage, of Daylesford, £1,000 to found a scholar ship in connection with the Episcopalian College of the Melbourne University. Pastor Chinigny, the Frsnch Canadian re former, is lecturing to crowded audiences in Sydney. At his lecture on auricular con fession, 4000 persons were present. The report in the "Sydney News" says :—" In speaking on that subject he spoke upon that with which he, unfortunately, had great experience, for he believed he had heard the confessions of over 100,000 men and women. He had had bishops, priests, the young and the old, the rich and the poor, kneeling, before him within the twenty-five years of his priesthood. During that time he had heard the sins and the history of the , iniquities of thousands." i
