nunced me n. In the ranks of Ministerialists ore included the uames of seven new mern h»rs who have been elected during the "cess and who pledged themselves to support Sir George Grey's policy. These Wellington City; Moss, P-iriiell; Turnbull, Timaru ; Green, Port Chalmers ; Hobbs, Franklin ; Saunders, Cheviot; Reeves, Grey Valley. The name of Mr Button is not included in any °f tue lists of members, as he recently resigned his seat. The Ministry are certain to gain a supporter in the new representative to be elected for this seat, as jlr Buttoii resigned expressly to afford them in opportunity to elect a Greyite candidate. ' Si_ William Fitzherbert's name is not amongst either the Ministerialists or Opposition. He occupies the position of Speaker. There is also a vacant seat to be filled up in' the representation of Dunedin, owing to Mr Larnach's resig nation, for which the return of a Ministerial candidate is certain. It is possible that oiie or two members who are ranked as Ministerial supporters will, when Parlia ment is in session, secede from their party; but on the other hand, four members ranked with the Opposition are very doubtful adherents of their side, and will possibly come over to the Government. Altogether, figures indicate that demo cratic principles have become widely disseminated during the recess.

TURKEY MORE ENGLISH IN SENT! MENT.

MURDER OF THE " TIMES " COR RESPONDENT.

CHOLERA, FAMINE, AND TORNADO

IN THE EASTERN SEAS.

LONDON, April 12

Russian papers state that they have no doubt the British fleet could force its way into the Black Sea, in case Russia occupied the European shores of the Bosphorus. Since the publication of Lord Salisbury's despatch, a complete change has taken place in Turkish policy, which has been becoming pro-Russian, but is now thoroughly English. The advance of the Russians in the neigh bourhood of Buyukdere has been stated, and the Turks, who had evacuated at the request of the Grand Duke Nicholas, have reoccupied in strong forces, and are throw imr up fortifications on the land side. They have also an entrenched camp at Illasplay, between Buyukdere and the capital with 70 000 meu. Osman Pashais Commander in-chief, and Mukhtar Chief of the Staff. On the 7th Skobeloff gave a return dinner, at which mauy English were present. Savoral Russian generals expressed their great desire of peace. They said the y had had enough of Avar. Mr Riley, chief |gunner at the Admiralty, has been superintending the mounting of a large number of powerful frigates, to be engaged as cruisers in. the event of war.

The French Press, and notably those journals supposed to be under official influence, quite take up the English view of the Conference question. On the 2nd April the Marquis of Salis bury issued a circular, which created a pro found sensation throughout Europe. It utterly demolishes the treaty of San Stefauo, pointing out that the effect of that instrument would simply be to substitute a Russian for a Turkish dominion in Europe and Asia. Lord Salisbury also objected to the treaty as a material departure from the I treaty of 1856 and a violation of that of 1871. His lordship, while attacking the separate clauses of the treaty, takes most exception to its general spirit and effect. As a whole the circular is warmly approved hy the Continental Press, and is considered at home and abroad a masterly _tate paper. It is believed that Germany is endeavour ing to exercise a moderating influence over Russia. Several papers supporting the Ministry de clare that dissolution is required to show Russia what English public opinion really is, and strongly urging the expediency of this step which would give the Government an immensely increased majority. Eulogistic obituary notices of the late Dr. Selwyn appear iv most of the London papers. . Lord Napier, of Magdala, and Sir Garnet Wolseley, .--re in communication with the War Office. Many lights have taken place in Thessaly, and Hdhart Pasha is on the coast with several men-of-war. The Turkish troops even at Volo have exhibited a most menacing attitude towards the whole Christian population. Mr Ogle, " Times" correspondent at Volo, was murdered near Magranitza after the bat Die, by Turkish soldiers, and decapitated, the object being to prevent the recognition of the body. He had used strong language to the Turkish authorities about the con duct of the soldiers, and was about return ing to Volo to lay the whole facts befoie the Consular body. A large reward was offered for the discovery of the corpse, which was without result for several days. The Greek Government are having the body interred at Athens at the public expense. There is no doubt that the Turkish authorities, both civil aud military, were cognisant of the murder. Advices received from Batavia to March 30 state .-—Cholera has broken out oh the island of Sourabaya, and all vessels from | that port are quarantined. The blockade of a few petty coast states which had not submitted has been forced, but the insur gents are now stronger than ever. News from Baltraka country mentions that a great battle had taken place at Toba, between the regulars and the insurgents. At the Isle de Negras there is great con sternation among the people owing to large mobs of scoundrels who are roving the country in bands, setting fire to the towns and the sugar crop's, and robbing and murdering. A disastrous tornado passed over Canton on the 11th April, lasting a quarter of an hour. The accounts to hand state that the tornado bore on its crest a very high water spout, aud carried everything before it. A line 300 to 500 yards broad was completely devastated. Hail fell in size 2in. by fin. 2,000 buildings were destroyed, and the esti mated number of Chinese who lost their lives on land and water, Is 5,000. A very great number were hurt. No European lives were lost. A large number of pirate vessels are mak ing their appearance off Celebes, and several large war yessels have gone in search to punish them for numerous acts. 200 houses were destroyed by fire at Manilla, and on the same day 50 houses were buried at the town of Antique, by an earthquake, while 500 others were reduced to a complete wreck. A fire oc curred shortly afterwards, and the whole were reduced to ashes, together with 1,000 casams of paddy. Very many lives were lost. . The advices from Java are to April 5. Famine is being experienced in Malacca, and thousands are dying of hunger and dysenteiy. Mr George W. F. Mayers, late secretaiy to the British Embassy, on the coast of Sumatra, entered the colonial service, and has effectually quieted the country, captur ing four heavily-fortified campings, and destroying seven piratical vessels off the DISASTER TO THE BARQUE ALEX ANDER. The Bowen has on board the crew of the barque Alexander, fourteen days out from Newcastle, bound for Timor, and which vessel was totally destroyed by pre on the 28th April. The voyage was prosperous till off Steven's Island, in Torres' Strait-i when suddenly, and without any warning wjiat ever, the vessel took fire. Spontaneous combustion in the hay was snpposed to _• the cause. She had cighty-oto* horses on

board, and a fearful sight was presented:] Tho terror-striken animals broke loose, and a fn'ghtful scene was presented on the lower deck! The crew had barely time to save their own lives. They took to the quarter-boat, and in the space of five minutes, the hapless vessel was completely enveloped in flames. The men could save nothing, and have consequently lost their all. The boat waited till the ship had burnt to the water's edge, and then started for Steven's Island, and while en route fell in with one of Captain Hovell's pearl-fishing boats. The crew were taken on to Thursday Island, where they were well and hospitably re ceived by Mr Chester, P.M.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"OUR BOYS."—FOR THE LAST TIME.

The romantic drama of •' M'Liss," was repeated for the third time at the theatre last night. It is a stirring play f u>i of startling situations, and likely to he successful wherever it is produced throughout New Zealand. The Company are well suited with parts and plays up to each other heartily. To-night, "Our Boys" will be given, after which Miss Firmin, in Hawaiian costume, will sing a native song. To-morrow, " Miss Multor," a French adaptation of "East Lynne," is to be the attraction, and on' ijViday we shall have " The School for Scandal."

INCOME TAX.

(To the Editor of the STAR). Sir, —Iv your issue of 23rd May, my letter, shewing what the representative man of £200 per year would have to pay, under a just income tax, as compared with what he is paying now under the present system, you make me to say: "Supposing the tax laid at 2i_ per cent., he would have 5_ to pay per year," which has no meaning. What I made plain was: "Supposing the tax laid at 2i per cent., he would have 5_ pence only to pay per year," for the whole of his tax. Again, you make me say, " Lives there a man . . . who would

not voluntarily . . his 5_ per cent." It should have been, " Lives there a man . .

who would not voluntarily pay his 5_ pence," rather than evade it, when it is plain before the light of day it is no mure than his jast share. —Yours. &c, Thought upon Thought.

PARNELL BOROUGH COUNCIL.

A sfrciai, meeting; of. this .Council was hold last evening. Present:—The Mayor (chair), Messrs Winks, Coleman, Wood, Flood, Kobinson, and Brackenbury. ASSESSMENT COURT. A letter was read from tuo U_d_v-oecr_ta.rjr, G. S. Cooper, Esq., informing the Council that according to a " New Zealand Gazette " of the 16th inst., time would be allowed for the due preparation of tho Borough Valuation hist, which was accordingly oxleuded till the Ist of June. MR BATISTOW'S LHTTER A letter was read, from K. C. Barntow, Esq.. Judge of Assessment Courts, to the effect that it will be necessary to make a new valuation list, to date from tho Ist of June—a copy of the old valuation list revised by the valuer to date would suffice. But fresh notices to ratepayers must be given. Any alteration by change of owners or occupiers, or addition.il value by the erection of fresh buildings, &c, should be in serted in Ihis new valuation list.

Several sections of the Hating Act were con sidered, and it was thought that as so many changes had taken place in relation to Parnell properties, that the new valuation list could not be prepared within the given time. A written paper was handed in, shewing that a new valu ation would cost £25. The members generally considered the charge exorbitant. Messrs Flood, Wood, Winks, and other Councillors thought the charge too much, and considered that the difficulty could be got over without so much expense. Mr Coleman suggested that a new copy of the existing list might be made, with the necessary changes, which were not numerous, inserted. It was finally determined on the motion of Mi Winks, seconded by Mr Robinson, " That the existing list should be accepted by the Council, and be deposited in the terms of the Act, and that the requisite notices to the ratepayers should be made out and served without delay; also, that the opinion of the solicitor to the Corporation should be obtained on the whole of the matters in ques tion."

The meeting then separated,

Sudden Death on Great South Road.

ABOUT seven o'clock last night a man was found lying on the Croat South Road, near Ellersli'e, by Messrs. Watts and Oluey in a dying condition. He was carried into Mr Watt's house, and Dr. Elmslie, oEOtahubu. sent for, but before arrival the unfortunate man was dead. It was found that bis name was Frederick George Augustus Borrows, aud that he was employed by Mr Waters, of Papatoitoi, and he had _een to Auckland with a dray load of potatoes, leaving in* the evening on his homeward journey. The cause oi death is not known, but it is surmised that it must either have been from natural causes, or from a fall from the dray. When picked up he was just able to say he was dying, aud com plained of great pain in his stomach. A carter's whip was found near him. The body has been examined by Constable Graham and the doctor, but no external mark of violence to account for death was perceptible. The deceased _ pre sented the appearance of a delicate, sickly person. The horses went home by them selves. An inquest will be held at the Harp of Erip.

COURT OF PETTY SESSIONS- This Day.

(Before Thomas Macffarlaue (Chairman), aud James Dilworth, Esqs., Justices of the Peace.) INEBRIATION. Two persons were lined for this offence. MICHAEL BURKE AT THE OYSTER SALOON. This young man again appeared in oppo sition to a charge of drunkenness. Mr Burke repudiated the charge with contempt. He was not _\ man of that sort. His solicitor was not present. Sergeant Clarke arrested the prisoner about twelve o'clock on Saturday night. He was in Mr Moyle's shop, and having had his supper, he took off his coat and challenged Mr Moyle to fight, he then knocked over the mustard pot, plates, &c. He desired prisoner to be quiet, pay for the damages and go, but he would not. William Matthew Moyle deposed that prisoner came to his place quite drunk, and wanted an oyster supper. He refused to supply him. Another man was with him, and by his order he supplied them with suppers. Prisoner refused to pay, and smashed the crockery, damage 10s. Hugh Percy aud Constables McDonald and Jones proved that prisoner was very drunk, and that His conduct was very bad, in fact, disgusting.

Prisoner said lie was as innocent as a young duck, ard would call witnesses to prove his innocence. Bartholomew Sefton Macdonald deposed that prisoner was not drunk, but way over come through eating bad oysters. He believed Mr Burkes system was out of order.

Charles Leening did not think prisoner was quite sober, but he was too-busy at the time eating obsters. The Chairman asked for a definition of drunkenness.

Sub-Inspector Pardy explained its various degrees, and different effects upon different constitutions.

Prisones addressed the Court at great length in vindication oi his conduct. Tho Court found the prisoner gailty, but as he was not an old hand he would only pay 5s and costs. BREACH OF PASSENGER ACT. Henry Durant was charged with travel ling on the passenger ship Roiornn from Wellington to Auckland, Jon the 25th inst.

The row occurred on the night of the 23rd r near the establishment of Mr Staines, and was described as of a vigorous and determined : character.

Sub-Inspector Pardy informed the Court that Podesta had; gone to Wellington, and I as she was the aggressor, he would not press the charge against the woman I Rice.

The Court gave Eliza Rice a few words of advice, and although her transgressions, according to the office register, amounted to more than a hundred convictions, there was yet hope for her in the future. Eliza was grateful, apparently, for a kind word, and promised seriously to consider her ways.

"Persons who adopt coke for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to the use of coal." The value ol coke as a fuel, and an a means of economy ol coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs the smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the tire brightor, dearer, and hotter. Every house holder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; .smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised else where. —["A DVT.
