lioxt stoppage would bo Clapham Junction, en route to which the local junction points are passed within about GOO yards of the Queen's lioad station. It wai close to this local junction that the fatal collision took place. Being some minutes behind time, it is alleged the engine-driver proceeded at a speed of between 25 and 30 miles ail hour, halieving from the signals that the line was clear. I'ho signalman at the junction box, who had just come on duty, had given "clear," apparently unaware that an engine and tender had been left on tho line, preparatory to being shunted into the engine-yard. The passenger train dashed with tremendous force iuto this engine, and the collision was so great that tho engine of the train was twisted and jammed out of all shape, while that with which it came in collision shared a similar fate. The fireman of tho passen ger train, Henry Aruott, was killed on the spot; Taylor, the driver, *vas severoly in jured, as also was the guard ; and from the shrieks and groans of the passengers iv the telescoped carriages it was evident that they had sullered terribly. Mr Garduet, assistant superintendent, was iv tho train, and he instantly organised measures for relief, at once telegraphing to Clapbnm Junction for surgeons and assistance. Iv torrents of rain the volunteers worked well, aud soon brought out the dead and wounded. The following is a list of the killed : —Mr John Lee, of Saville Loilgj, Smbiton; Mr G^orgo Dale, High-street, Kingston; Henry Aruott, fireman of the Hampton Court train (the above arc lying at St. 'Jhoums's Hospital): Mr Roberta, 1 Copse Villa, St. John's Hill, Wandaworth (body lies at Lambeth Mortuary) ; aud Mr John Ramsey, of 7 Champion Terrace, St. Aune's, Waudsworth, who died in his own homo,

THE SEAHAM COLLIERY EXPLOSION.

FflOM a statement made by the ollicials of the colliery, it appears that alter a very careful and full investigation they have aaeertainod that IGI lives have been lost by this tlisastor, and that the number of depen dents consists of 105 widows, 12G aons, 139 daughters, G mothers, 4 sisters, and 2 children, making altogether 382 persons wiio will have to be relieved. From the bank man, whose duty it is io keep a record of the numbers who go down the pit, we learn, however, that 179 have to bo nc couuted for, as he states that there went down a total of 24G, which, with the 67 rescued alive and 33 bodies got up, would have 14G men and boys still in the pit. As to the operations iv the pit, the efforts of the ollicials have been mainly devoted to improving the ventilation, the ac cumulation of gas not allowing the works to be explored beyond a quarter of a milo from the shaft in safety, nud it is known that the entombed men aio spread over the wholo of the workings, exteuding to as far as, in some cases, 2K miles from the shaft. From an olliciai statement it appears that the workmen in No. 1 shatt have got down to the cage chains, aud daylight has been scon from the bo:tom of the shatt through the debris, so that only a tew more feet of rubbish have to bo cleared away in order to enable a fresh current of air to pass down this shaft into the workings. With reference to reported observations mnde by Sir William Harconrt oa the occasion of his visit to the mine, that more shafts were desirable in largo coal-fields, it was pointed out that those unacquainted with mining operations might consider that the Home Secretary meant that more shafts were actually required in this particular case, but the experts state that it is doubtful whether another shaft would have improved matters. And then the co3t forms a very serious item. For instance, the sinking of the downcast shaft of this pit co3t £250,000 twenty years ago, and though the cost at the present time of sinking a similar shaft would not probably exceed £200,000, if this sum had to be expended the colliery would have to be closed, as it would not pay to carry it on with this additional outlay of capital. The mutilated remains of Hiudson, the Queen's prize winner at the late Shoeburynes3 meeting were brought back to the bank on September 13. The poor fellow bad been literally torn to pieces by the ex plosion, aud the explorers mu3t have passed Ms shattered remains nt least twenty times, until the decomposed body compelled notice to be t-.iken of it. The head was severed from the body, the legs were lying several yards off; the only meaus of recognition left was by his clean shaven face with a tuEt ot hair on his chin. His poor wife has wandered from her home at Seaham Har bour, a distance of a mile and a half, to the pit's mouth many times since the accident, and it was with difficulty that she could be persuaded that the remains brought to her home were| those of her husband. It is said by one of his neighbours that he told Mrs Hindson before starting for his work that night that he would not go down because the pit was dangerous where he was working, but such a story must be received with caution. Hindson has left a widow and a son and four daughters, one of whom was to have been married this week to a young \nan who has also lost his lite in the pit. fliudson was also to have been presented with the gold cup by the Marquis of Londonderry at the flower show on the very day that he fell a victim to the explosion. Her Majesty the Queen has sent £100 towards the fund now being raised on behalf of the sufferers by this catastrophe,

Correspondence.

THK NORWICH UNION INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE ROYAL.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,— The public ought to be very much obliged to you for your leader of the 4th November last on the case, Bank of New South Wales v. Royal Insurance Company, and they ought likewise to be informed of the following contrast:—Some time ago a fire occurred at Newton. Ono of the suf ferers had borrowed £300 on mortgage, and the mortgagee had insured the building in the Norwich Union for £300 when the fire took place. The mortgagor had paid the mortgagee £120 out of the £300, so the mortgagee could only declare his lo9s to bo £180, and the claim of the mortgagor for £120 was referred to the directors in England. They did not even wait to reply by letter, but telegraphed to pay the £120 at once to the mortgagor. If such objections as that taken in the case brought by the Bank of New South Wales against the Koyal are to be persisted in, the policies of the Company will become valueless—an utter delusion. A person might fancy he was insured, having paid his money, until a fire takes place, and then only find, after a delay of twelve months, and a verdict of a jury, that he still has to wait until all the vexatious delays of the law are exhausted. I have little doubt but that the directors ot the Royal,.when they know the real facts, will repudiate the action the local 'agent in the case of the Bank of New South Wales v. Royal Insurance Company, and act in a similar manner to the directors of the Norwich Union Insurance Company. —I am Sec Insurer.

THE PETROLEUM BORING AT POVERTY BAY.

(To'the Editor.) SIR,—I have with pleasure seen that you take an interest in the works I have fortu nately been able to establish for the purpose of developing our oil (petroleum) resources, and now forward you, per favour of the cap tain oE the steamer Rotorua, a sample ot that obtained from a vein cut at 63 feet from the surfaco of our works (the South Pacific Petroleum Company). The oil is wonder fully good, being far superior to any Cana dian or American. I think it will contain quite 75 per cent, of keroseap, the balance being gasoline and lubricating oil. We are about to have some experiments for the pur pose of testing its burning qualities in its crude state. I shall have much pleasure in communicating the result by next mail.— I remain, &c, William Cluike, Director of the South Pacific Petroleum Company (Limited). [The sample referred to above may be seen at our office.—Ed. E.S.]

ALBERT BARRACKS RESERVE.

(To the Editor.)

SIB,—I don't understand the logic of your correspondent, "Ratepayer." Does he mean that the residents in this neighbour hood complain ot a want of fair play ? Con sidering that some of them have kept fenced off from the public for a number of years a large portion of this reserve, they at least ought to be silent; or is it that they are quite willing the so-called nuisance should be thrust upon others ?—for it is very cer tain that wherever a circus is located some small nuisance will exist, and that in most cities in the world such is usually good naturedly allowed for the short time they abide. Atter all, it is a question whether more nuisance arises than has already been tacitly allowed—breaking-in horses, cricket, liring blank cartridges, location of immi grants, &c, (who often bring undesirable ad ditions with them). As regards the matter affecting public rights alluded to by your correspondent, it is pretty evident from what I have stated above, that these have been and are still con siderably strained; and it is no fault ot either the late Commissioners or the City

1 Council that this reserve has not been dealt with as originally intended long since. It will not, however, it is hoped, be long now before something is done in earnest to give the public the rights thai have been withheld from them by the Government and a few fortunate tenants, and thus enable the objects ot the trust to be carried out in its integrity, and not partially. In most cities there is generally a common cf Rome des cription where such exhibitions are allowed to locate. Here we have none. And it is not at all probable that any amusement ot this sort will ever bo allowed to be placed iv this reserve when once it is laid out, fenced, and planted. So let us "je young, and a little considerate to stringers, who will probably diffuse a few thousand pounds iv the city for this occasion.—Yours, &c,

THE CIRCUS AND ALBERT PARK.

(To the Editor). Sill,—l beg to once more encroach upon tho valuable columns of the STAB, in response to thu unjust attack and silly tirade against the circus which has com mitted no other crime, and violated no other law, except to make application for a temporary location on a site of ground within the city of Auckland. It is not my purpose to vindicate the circus proper. It needs no defence. It is not a young and louder shoot of a season's growth. It is an ancient tree whose rots are embedded iv the mine of Koine, ami ita branches, to-day, extend over all the civilized world. It is an institution made popular iv tho days of C;usar and applauded by the baiuls of generations. It is alike interesting to all classes and patronized by all creeds ; and 1 ask iv all candour where can you see as much for the money ; or whero can you gain as much knowledge of animal creation as iv a well organized circus and menagerie ? But it i 8 not of this that 1 would speak. Your correspon dents have howled themselves hoarse over an imaginary inconsistency. Their accusa tions are without foundation, and as false as they arc foolish. Do you suppose that from 3,000 to 5,000 intelligent people would daily visit an entertainment whoso .sur roundings were obnoxious to the com munity ? It it possible that there is a per son in tho city of Auckland capable of such a belief? Porish tho thought. No; these vestuperations are tho outgrowth of mind, as narrow as their assertions are unjust, and there is something in these growls twice more unpleasant to the average citizen than the howl of lions or their cubs ; there is something even more vonemous thau the slimy fangs of crawling serpent*, and these arc. the poisoued shafts of slander hurled at innocent heads. It is the will of all —with whom I have met—(save one) that Mr Cole should occupy Albert Park with his shows ; therefore, I have come to the conclusion that the opposing few are meek in their wrath. But we will not make question of this. I regret that there should bi3 any whatever. There appears to baa galliug wouutl in the side of your corres pondent because of the unfinished condition of the park ground. Perhaps their de mands are just ; I have reason to believe that they are ; and I should like to see that very site of land touched by the deft hand of skill ; and would that I might to-day stroll through its walks and gaze upon the charming evidence of civilization, while the sweet perfume of many (lowers made the very air beautiful by their fragrance. But this is not, aud, because of it, our business is declared abominable. Our exhibitions have been witnessed by more than twenty-two-millions of people within the past ten year*. Is it possible that the world is so depraved ? Some of Mr Coles artists wear souvenirs from the hands of Her Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria upon their bosoms, and yet your c irrespondents object to their display ing them iv Albert Park. It is our purpose then to present one of the greatest scientific inventions of the age—the greatest electric light; yet your uuknown adviser declares these shows un becoming. Iv conclusion I wish to fstate that it is our mission to please and not displease. In all my transactions with the city authorities, the council, and the business men of Auckland, I have found them exceptionally kind and courteous, and were it not for this one mischievous plot all would have been eminently satis factory to Mr Cole and to this people. In the communication from "Kate-payer" he speaks of "well-intended promises." If he has any doubt of the non-fulfilment of every promise made tv the public let him meet me at the "Star" office and deposit £2 against a like sum from myself—to be given to any worthy institution in this city if these assertions prove untrue ; don't let us have any more accusations without something to back it.—Yours, and to the Public, LODIS E. COOKK, Representing W. W. Cole.

CONTRADICTION.

(To the Editor.)

SIR, —Seeing my name in your paper iv connection with the drum case, allow mo to give a flat denial that Mr Edmonds pre sented a revolver, or ever had one in his hand, when Mr Hitchens and his awkward squad of 17 men came to arrest one in the Queen's name. The facts are these. My son had had the revolver, which is a very old one, Messrs Lock and Chambers, some hour before Mr Hitcheus came, and he had left it on the dining-room table, not in the smokiDjr-room, where Mr Edmonds was. It was during my conversation with Mr Hitchens that Mr Edmonds came into the room and'picked it up to look at. If Mr Hitchens had came in a quiet gentlemanly way, instead of the wild excited style, he would have seen what had taken place. There was not one abusive word only from his own mob. Had I known tben as much as I know now, both him and his squad would have gone out much quicker than they came in, as I now question his right to arrest any one, and must say it was a great piece of presumption and cheek to enter my house and cause such a commo tion.—l am, &c, W. A. Watermak.

ONEHUNGA V. HELENSVILLE.

A Cricket Match, between the One hunga United 0.0. and the Helensvillc C.C." was played on the Onehunga ground on Tuesday, the 9th inst., and resulted in a victory for Onehunga by an innings and two runs. Play was commenced at 10.30 a.m. • At 1 o'clock an adjournment of half an-hour was made for lunch, which was provided on the ground by the Onehunga team. Between 500 and 600 people witnes sed the match, and great interest was mani fested. Subjoined are the scores :—

Helensville C.C. (First and second in nings).—A. McLeod, S; F. Palmer, 11; H. Binsted, 1; G. Sanky, 2; C. Bacon, 3 ; Waters, 3 ; W. Lumsden, 0 ; S. Walker.l ; F. Cahill, 0 ; C. Clendon (not out Ist in nings), 0; J. Phillips (not out 2nd innings), 1; Extras, 7. Total, 45. ONEHUNGA C.C—J. M. Barr, 1; A. Wall, 1; M. Brennan, 10; D. Donovan, 0 ; S. Mahoney, 1; J. Brennan, G ; J. Patten, 5; Jno. Brennan, 8 ; W. Daly, 5 ; G. Brown, 3; Beavers (not out), 0 ; Extras, 7. Total, 47.

In the evening a grand concert and dra matic performance was given, under the patronage of the Helenaville CC. Mr Stevenson, with his customary courtesy, undertook the management of the musical portion of the programme. Precisely at eight o'clock Miss M. Baker was intro duced to the audience, and played an over tiife, which gave great satisfaction. The quartette, " Hail Columbia," by Misses Vause and Morm and Messrs O'Callaghan and Stevenson was rendered with exactness. The next on the programme was a song by Mr Gus Coatea, but that gentleman, for reasons best known to himself, failed to fulfil bin engagement. The duet, ''I heard a voice! in the tranquil night," by the Misses Baker was tastefully rendered and was encored. Miss Swan, whose musi cal ability and taste are well known, sang by dtsire the ballad "Eileen Alanna," with grand effect, and was loudly and persis tently encored. Mr O'Callaghan sang "The Raft," and in response to an encore gave "Timber Toes." The trio "The Mill Song," by the Misses Swan and Coffey, was rendered with much exactness and was encored. "Waiting," by Mis 3 Baker, | was greatly appreciated. The duet " Far Away," by Misses Vause and Morris was effectively rendered, and called forth an encore. Mr W. Mill gan's rendering of "Finnigan's Wake " caused great amusement and was vocife rously eucored. A quartett, "Where art Thou Beam of Light by Misses "Vause and Morris, and Messrs O'Callaghan and Stevenson, brought the first part of the pro gramme to a close. After an interval of ten minutes, "The Area Bell" was intro duced. The various parts were well sustaiaed. Mrs Cleghora as the lady of the house, represented faith fully a " crusty" old lady, and Miss Brewer, us "" The Area Belle," de serves great credit for the graceful and effec tive manner in which she sustained her part. Mr Donovan was a true representa tive policeman, Mr John Stoddart a very jolly soldier, and Mr Jackson as milkman seemed perfectly at home. Ihe room was clearedat 10.30 for dancing, which was kept up with much spirit until four o'clock.

LATEST TELEGRAMS.

Wm. O'Neil v. John Fos er.—Claim, £13 13s, for dctinuo and damages. Mr E. Cooper appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Alcxanderfor thedofendant. -Wm.O'Neill, a gum-digg'jr residing at Kumea, deposed that ho had been digging gum on ground controlled by the defendant. He had made an arrangement with tho defendant, who was a storekeeper, whereby he re ceived tho right of digging gum. iv consideration of paying either in cash or by gum the necessary store*, which were to be obtained only from him. The agreement was merely a verbal one. On the 16th of October he had a quantity of cum iv his possession, namely, twelve eacks, eight ot which he had purchased from Mr Oprcy. The twelve sacks contained about 19cwt. of gum. He was intending to take it to Auckland.

Auckland Institute,—The secretary of the Council of the Institute applied tor a specified handed endowment for the Anckland Museum.—The Chairman said that the Board aad previously expressed its opinion very strongly that the object was a very wotthy one, but unfortunately it had not the legal power to grant the request. It could reserve land for sites for museums, but not as endowments for them. He believed that the Hon. Mr tiollestou was favourable to the endowment of the museum.—lt was resolved to recommend the applicants move the authorities tosecure an amendment in the act in order that the Board may have the power to grant the endowment, the land specified being in the meantime temporarily withdrawn frem sale. ________»^__ la our Show prize list the name of Mr W.

Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be jeen at any of tho Museums in New Zealand; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington j or on application to any of the Officers of the Com pany. In introducing this eligible investment to the notice of the public, Che promoters desire to state that tho Company's rights comprise the best, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all events in the Southern Heaiisphere. This Is sufficiently proved by Caswell tiound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydni ly Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable varieties. They aino .wish to dwell upon its known certainty and non speculatlre character, the ultimate success of thiß venturo being now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5, Larger blocks, aro, how ever, much more valuable, somo pure White Statuary, without flaws, reilising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a blook suitable for a life-size human statue being about £1000. 'Tho preßent co»t of produc ing this Marble by manual labor only is about 2s per cubio loot, f .o.b. These figures may appear inoredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. This, taking tho cost of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 123 per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of 600 per oont. profit. It is, therefore, no visionary matter, as these are lead ing commercial lines and the values well known, the facilities of production, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vaatadvantageover any like property in the world. We willalsoven turo to prediot that the valao of the Company's shares will ncrease at least 300 per oent. within twelve months ot issue. Referring to consump tion of these commodities, it ia also enormous. The consumption of Marble. Portland Cement, and Lime, in the Australian Colonies, alone during the last twelve months has been £2,872,600 sterling, and rapidly increasing. Cas well Sound is a commodious and safe harbor lor the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at the water's edge. The Government of this colony has also promised to favourably consider special grants in concessions in aid as soon as the Com pany is successfully floated.
