the Colonies presided, aud the committee includes many lionoumbl* names ; of course Sir Julius Vugel's was among the number. In reply to the toast of his health piopoecd by I.< rd Cadogan, Mr Mcllwraith said that theleasou he had drawn from the events which had occurred since ho had been in this country was that, no matter what iiolitic.il party came into power, it was the will of the people that the colonies should remain an integral part of the British Empire. With reference to the future development of Queensland he urged that stepssliould bo taken to divert to our Austra lian colonies that stream of emigration which was constantly flowing from the mother country to the United States. Emigration in fnct should bs made an Imperial question, and this would bo the l>cst mode of dealing with the distress in Ireland. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach sent au apology. As hi 3 election was one of the earliest Sir Michael Hicks-Beach was soon at liberty. ][« has been in attendance on the Queeu at Baden Baden. In reference to Mr Mcll wrakh's speech and the article in tin; '• Times," ou it Mr James Mackenzie writes to that journal : "Increased popula tion is necessary for the financial prosperity of the colony which has lately been imperilled, but any such increase, unless it be of the class of emigrants who can aid in developing the natural resources of the country, will only prove a fresh burden upon them. A new Liberal administration ,at home will, no doubt, revert to the policy which characterized the former one, in which Lord Granvilla adopted the sound principle ihat the success of the colonies depends on their learning to help them selves, instead of trusting to the imperial purse, and it is not therefore likely that ;iny attempt will be made to arbitrarily divert immigration to Queensland in place of to America, or that the taxpayers of this country will be called upon to develope Northern Australia. But what I fear, and what I am .desirous of raising a warning voice against, is that these contour dc rose accounts may induce people at home to imagine that there is an inexhaustible store of riches for them in Queensland. It is to Asiatic labour that Queensland must look fur her prosperity, aud when that is supplied by colonial enterprise, aud with the judici ous regulations of the Colonial Government, there will be no need for the Premier to pay a visit to the Home Government in the cha racter of a poor relation." Mr James Mackenzie is satirical, and is sufficiently dogmatic, butl think few people will consi der it a better thing for Queensland to be populated by the Chinese race than the British.

The successful voyage of the tstrathleven lias attracted much notice here, and set many financial schemes afloat, in which, however, New Zealand does not, as yet, participate. When tho Panama route is open Now Zealand will have full as great facilities for the trade as Australia. Tho "Pall Mall" says, "If the enterprise is well managed it will be a mighty boou, both for England and her great colony, by open ing up a new source of food supply to our consumers, aud by stimulating other enterprises amongst the colonists, supported by the proceeds of their sales of meat."

x^OcS OF THE C »LYPSO.

A serious collision has occurred at the mouth of the Thames between t'io Calypso, from Otago, and the steamer Hawk, from Antwerp. The Calypso has foundered, but the crew were saved. The Hawk suffered severe damage, having her bows atovo iv. The Calypso was an iiou ship, of 1,014 tons register, and was owned by Mr \villiam Shcrrcs, of Aberdeen. She was built in 1574 by Hall and Son, Aberdeen She loft Utago on January 23. The loss will prin cipally fall on Glasgow, London, Now Zea land, and Australia.! insurance ollices. The latest particulars of the disaster show that the Calypso was at anchor at the time of the collision in Prince's Channel. So great was the force of the impact that the Hawk cut iuto the Calypso's side for a distance of 12ft abaft the starboard main rigging. The vessel almost immediately foundered, and lies in seven fathoms of water at low tide. As you are perhaps aware, there was A largo aud valuable cargo on board, including4,soo bales of wool, and 300 tons of wheat, which will suffer serious damage. Efforts arc to be made immediately to raise the ship, and should the weather remain line there is every hope of this being successfully accom plished. Her hull has been found to be intact iv all respects excepting tho rent in hur f-ide where she was stove in. The statement of the captain and other officers of the Hawk leave no doubt as to the cause ot the disaster. The second mate wns oilicer of the watch, the captain bad left the bridge for some minutes, but ruehtid on deck after he heard the telegraph bell ringing iv the engine room. The collision, however, was inevitable. With great pre-encG of mind Captain llyan at once stopped the engines to prevent the two vessels parting before the crew of the Citlyp3o had found time to save themselves by climbing up the bows of the Hawk. Tliig, no doubt, prevented much los 3of life, for ou disengaging the Calypso filled and sank with extraordinary rapidity. The captaiu of the Hawk.has written to the " Times" to .*ay that when the bell rang he was in the chart room on the main bridge, and immediately arccuded to the upper bridge, He adds "I confidently believe the Board of Trade inquiry will fully relieve me from all blame."

From a statcmedt furniihcd by the secre tary of the General Steam Navigation Coui pany, there appears to remain no doubt that the sinking of the Calypso resulted from a mistake of the second mate of the steamer Hawk, by which she was run down. The second mate's own statement shows the mistake to have been that of starboard ing instead of porting helm. He star boarded hoping to pass clear under the stern of the Calypso, but that vessel, having swung round with the tide, stood right athwart the channel, and the only possible way of avoiding the collision iv the circum stances would have been to order port helm when the Calypso's riding light was sighted.

THE NEW ZEALAND LOAN,

The Bank of England give notice that on and after Thursday, the 22nd of April, they will be prepared to issue debenture bonds in exchange for fully paid scrip of the above loan (the Government 5 per cent, loan, 1879). The London papers have got hold of some figures that look rather startling when put together ; their authoiity, I believe, is the Melbourne "Argus." The "Pall Mall" especially talks very morally on the dangers of getting into debt. Alter mentioning the depression among the labouring classes, and the deficit, the writer says : " But it is quite time those responsible for the Govern ment, both of New Zealand and Queens land, made up their minds at what point in borrowing they will stop. We suppoited New Zealand's la«t application for aloar, and we have no wish to be in t'ae way of Queensland getting what nlie is now asking for. We do not regard it as a fair test of the resources of either colony to compare the proportion of debt to population with the same thing in other countries, for the population in new countries is wholly tax paying, and not made up of a multitude of non-productive members. Eveu, however, though this be borne iv mind, the burdens of both colonies must be admitted to> be very heavy." The debt per head of the population in New Zealand is as much as £62 13s Sd, whereas the debt per head of the population of the United Kingdom is only £23 4«. Another writer cuds his tirade more hopefully. "Of the natural wealth, and favourable prospects ot New Zealand, we have often spoken. The colony needs but reasonably prudent managements become one of the most prosperous portions of the empire. She has everything in her favour, —a rich soil, a fine healthy climfifc, and a vigorous law-abiding population." Then he puts powder in the jam by adding :— "But retrenchment in expenditure is now imperatively called for, and to reckon the land sales any further as revenue, is a ruinous policy. To uss loans iv order to make up deficits is an arrangement which can have but ono eliding."

NEW ZEALAND MORTGAGE AND

INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION,

The New Zealand Mortgage and Invest meut Association (Limited) have issued their programme. Judge Bathgate, I see, is on the Board of Management, indeed, the whole prospectus reads rather like a quota tion from his book. They have the usnal peer at the head of the list of directors, and an ex-M.P. to support him. The follow ing list may give yon some idea of the prospects of the undertaking : — "Directors in London : The Earl of Dun more, 109, Cromwell Road, South Kensing ton, Chairman; Sir Win. Henry Drake, X.C.8., Clanricarde Gardens, Bayswater; Edward Jenkins, Esq., 20, Southwell Gar decs, South Kensington, late M.P. for Dundee; Patrick Carnegy, Esq., C.1.E., Ellery Court, Norwood, and of Birchwood, Otago, late Commissioner of Land Revenue, Oudh; J. Meliss Stuart, Esq., of Mansion House Chambers, London, and of New Zealand.

Board of Management in New Zealand : John Bathgate, Esq , District Judge, Dun edia; Robert Hay, Esq,, Civil Engineer and Land Surveyor, Dunedin ; George Turnbnll, Esq. (Messrs W. and G.

Application lor shares may be made on the accompanying form to the Secretary, to the solicitors, or to the bankers of the Asso ciation." The money article of the "Times" of April 20 will not add much to the popularity of tlu company. "We have received the prospectus of yet another company organised for the purpose of lending money upon pro perty in New Zealand The pros pectus} says little upon the way in which the money is to ha employed, and much about the wonderful prosperity of New Zealand. We have the greatest doubts about the quality of that prosperity, seeing that it i-s based ro largely upon borrowed (upital. The State borrows till ft brings itso.lf face to faco with enormous deficits, corporations borrow on a 1 hands till their future h most seriously compromised, and individuals struggle ou under continually increasing loads of debt owing to the banks, ami to tuch mortgage companies as this. A community created in this way by means of debt, whose very p nutation is to be a considerable extent imported by means of borrowed money, is at present, by no meaufl the most tempting field for the prudent investor."

Their capital is £509,000 in £10 shares, "with power to increase." Only half this amount will be created now, and it is not proposed t) call up more lhau £2 per share.

Topics of the Day.

(FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT).

CHIT CHAT ABOUT THE ELECTIONS.

LONDON, April 29. TUB topic of the day is naturally the un expected Liberal victory aud its results. The "late-present" Premier, as Mr Lowe called him, may please to be facetious ou tlio subject, the Tories may pose as high minded martyrs lo their country's honour abroad, aud the Liberals indulge in jubila tions over their "improved organisation," none (he less the result of the elections was a Mirpiise to all parties.

Mr Goscheu's verdict ou the Ministry is "death resulting trom an over-dose of Jingo alcohol, administered to thomselvei while iv a slate of unsound mind." This U per haps nearer the truth than the " death by water " judgment, as the merits of the Water Bill will bear further discussion, and iittlo interest was felt on it by tho country at large. The only point on which tho Liberal aud Conservative press agree in iv ascribing the result of the elections to Mr. Gladstone's "pxuheraut verbosity." The tenant farmers, to whom he chielly addressed him self, have turned the scale. One incident of the election told rather against Mr Glad stone's popularity. Sir Hardiuge Gilford onoted a speech by Senor Castelar, ex- Premier of Spain, to the Cortes, to the effect that "Mr Gladstone presented himself betorc tho electors 'with the programme of coding Gibraltar, as ho ceded the lonian Islands.'" Whereupon the Madrid journals have expressed their satisfaction at the Liberal success. This and Lord Bsacona liclu's accusation of " disintegrating policy " have been the strong points of Conservative oratory. Mr Gladstone denies that there is the slightest ground for Scuor Castclar's assertion. South West Lancashire was n crushing defeat to tho Liberals, but it greatly added to Mr Kathbone's personal popularity. Lord Derby's openly exerted inlluencc on his side seems to have had a prejudicial effect. Lord Derby is not a popular landlord, and his brothers and heir, Co!. Stanley, M.l*, for the northern division of tho couuty, would hardly thank his future tenants for ': ratting " with the present owner. Lady Derby used very little tact in her canvassing. Ou one occasion she even ordered luncheon for his party iv the Conservative committee-room.

The very latest news since the Cabinet counc'l yesterday (April 21at), makes little difference in the state of anxious suspense prevalent iv the political world. The Premier is at Windsor presumably to hand ia his formal resignation. Tho Marquis of Salisbury preceded him aud left tlu same afterno.m.

The peerage of Mr Montague Corry is tho latest subject of gossip, lie is person ally extremely popular, but it is not usual for a IViine Minister to raise to the peoiufte his. private secretary from mere motives of personal attachment, and gratitude for fidelity to himself.

Mr Bright, it i 3 understood, will not join the Ministry on account of his health.

Mr Adam, the prccnt " whip of the Liberal party," will be put in nomination for the speaker's chair on the probable event of Mr Brand's peerage. Mr Allsopp has been created a baronet It is suggested his trademark ought in future to be a red hand not a browa one. A baronet's trademark I

At the last meeting of the Royal Colonial Institute, Mr F. H. Dangar of Sydney, and Mr Thomas M. Kellur,late M.L.C. Victoria were elected Fellows.

While the newspaper world is in a state of frantic political excitement, the principal actors in the race of politic* cannot be said to " have turned a hair." Before his Sun day visit to Windsor, Lord Bcaconslield ceuld be seen as usual walking in the Park witli that same imperturbable expression of countenance which has gained him the title oE the Sphinx. While Lord Hartington, when "particularly wanted" by Mr Lowe, was nowhere to be found, all the informa tion his servants could give being that he bad taken his dog as if starting on ouc of his favourite "long tramps."

A HOYAL LOVE MATCH.

Lord Beaconsfield's secretary and shadow, Mr Montagu Corry (now Baron Rotrton), is perhaps less seeu with him than usual. D;/Wi)iug-stroet is almost blocked by the covered vans that are removing the furni ture of the various ministers, but a formal resignation was not expected to he announced until after the Royal wedding on Saturday, April "24, as the ordering of the ceremony would have to be so completely changed. The Princess Frederika, of Hanover, i 3 making a lovo match with her father's secretary. Her family, it is said, do not approve, but she has sneceeded in awakening Her Majesty's ready sympathy with romance.

Prince Leopold seems to have taken his father's place as "affectionate adviaer" to the Queen. Since her return from Baden Baden he has acted as loyal messenger be tween her and Loid Beaconsfield. Her Majesty is suffering much from head aches.

The Emperor of Germany docs not wish to rsfund the Guclphic property, out of which the Queen winked to secure a dower for the Princess Frederika, so came no nearer than Weisbaden.

Ihe Serapis ha* received orders to be in readineis for the Prince of Wales' Austra lian voyage in the ensuing Autumn. It is the ship in which he went to India. Mr Cross has been made X.0.8., much to the amusement of the Liberals, who Hardly thought lie would condescend to be a " Perishable Knight," but as Sir Stafford Northcota and Lord John Manners are G.C.8., he will be in his proper relative rank.

Mr W. H. Smith, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Lord Sandon, and Mr Montague Corry, are |candidate< for titular honours. Lord Beaconsfield shows his customary moderation with regard to iucre.ising the peerage. Tbe "mischief makers," Sir Bartle Frerc, Sir Henry Layard, ami Sir Henry Elliott, are "expected home," but of course, have not as yet been recalled.

JOKES ABOUT THE ELECTIONS,

The Liberals, as a rule, accuse their opponents of lavish expenditure, but for once a Tory erred on the sldo of economy. "Judy's" artist had prepared a cartoon entitled " Who Killed Cock Robin," the victim being the Liberal majority. Orer the corpss the Liberal leaders bend in un restrained 'grief. Mr Gladstone's falling tears, Mr Bright'a handkerchief, Lord Har tington's dignified repression of feeling, are decidedly clever ; but, unluckily, when this number of " Judy " appeared, Cock Robin was alive and likely to thrive. Another Tory print, more flippant than philosophical, supposes that before the year is out " Our dissenting brother may ut>t only bury his wife in the Parish Church graveyard, but may afterwards marry her sisters in succesnon " The Burials Bill and the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill, form part of the Liberal pro grammo. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was the earliest to pack up, and decamp from his odicial residence. "Preparations were very early begun at Dublin Castle, and Lady Maryborough for "obvioti3 reasons" has closed her subscription list for the Irish Faruiae, after appointing trustees for the Her Majesty returned from the Continent by the Flushing route. On landing at Sheerness, where she was met as usual by the Mayor, that worthy gentletnau had prepared an address, setting forth that no sovereign had so honoured the important town of Sheerness since the days of Quecu Philippa. Her Majesty, however, left the Mayor on one side and proceeded straight from her yacht to the train. lllnatured rumour states that her ruanaer to the disap pointed civic dignitary was the reverse of good-tempered.

Public affairs are certainly rather trying just now. Conscientious regard for the good of the commonwealth is decidedly the first requisite of a Prime Minister, but it must greatly add to his Sovereign's com fort if he at the same time happens to be an amusing member of society, in short "A good diner out." Lord Beaconsfield has amply fulfiled this secondary requisite, aud has been immensely popular with all the Royal Family. Lord llartington, alas !is not celebrated as a sayer of good things ; and Mr Gladstone, as his lival once wittily said, is "A man without a single redeeming vice.''

MINOR TOPiCS OF THE DAY. Her Majesty has appointed the Rev. John Oha.les Kyle, M.A., to bo the lirst Bishop of Liverpool. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, and is the author of a large number of evangeiical and devo tional works.

Jt is said that 11. It.II. Prince Leopold is to be created Duke of Albany. 1 believe the last bearer of the title was the unlucky Pretender, Oharlci Edward—not an ill omen, I hope.

The newspapers have been particularly generou3 of lute in the distribution ot titles —those "symbols of a well-spent life, passed generally in the punctual receipt of convenient salaries, paid quarterly." No one will grudge Sir Stafford Northcotc his Grand C 1033 of the Order of the Bath. The same distinction has been bestowed upon Lo.-d John Manners.

lii the receut election of representative peers of Scotland, the Duke of Quecnsbury lias been passed over as ineligable on ac count of his frce-thioking opinions. He oily recehed three votes. The Duke calls it religious persecution. Doubts have been expressed as to whether tire necessary oaths ou entering Parliament can be taken by Mr Bradlaugh, who denies the existence of God. If so, the electors of Northampton must choose another M. P. There are no less than one hundred and tweuty-uiue lawyers in the new Parliament, twenty-seven of whom arc Liberal Queen's Counsel—six of these are at the Irish bar. Someone has revived the bon mot that Q.C. means " Questionable Carpet-bagger." How many of the one hundred and twenty nine are briefless banisters whose trade is journalism? Mr Laboucherc, of "Truth," is M.P. for Northampton, colleague of Mr Bradlaugh,

The new French Ambassador in London, M. Leon Say, is anothar .member of the honourable guild of journalists. Represen tatives of tho English pres? abroad have been known to boast that they receive the pay and obtain the consideration of ambas sadors. It is only the "guinea stamp " of recognition that is wanting.

The Colonial authorities, it is said, will soon be in very hot water about some re ported ill-treatment of Celcwayo, and affairs in general at the Cape.

THE EMPRESS IN ZULULAND,

The Empress Eugenic is accompanied by Mr Prior, the special artist of the " Illus trated News," who i.s believed to be the last to shake hands with the Prince Imperial, on the eve of the tragedy, and who Wiw present at the fiudiufi of the body. Colonel Evelyn Wood has most thought fully procured some slips from the famous weeping willow that overhangs the tomb of Napoleon I. in St. Helena. Is one of the ex-Empress's French ladics iu-waiting have gone with her. One was not permitted to attend her on account of her health. The Empress was the guest of Sir lJartlo Frere. Tue obelisk given by the ljuecu has been placed on tho spot where tho Prince Imperial fell.

THE VICKHOY OF INDIA

Lord Lyttou's resignation has been received at the India Office, but he lms gone up to Simla for the season, until bin successor is appointed. Who his successor may hi cannot be decided until the Liberal Ministry is formed. Lord Lytton hai not bsen popular, independently of tho blunders imputed to him by his opponents ; but there is a great deal to be said against allowing the holder of so responsible a post as the Viceroyalty of India to be dependent for his term of ollice on a mere chaugo of Ministry in England. The Queen lias conferred an oarldon on him by the style and title of Karl of Lytton, in the county of Derby, and Viscount Kuebworth, in tho county of Hertford.

One of Lord Lytton's laH tasks on his arrival at Simla will be to confirm General Massy's acquittal on the charge of insubor dination in the Afghan wur.

A NOTABLE SALE. The sale at Prince Demidoff's palace of Han Donato, near Florence, .still continues. Tho carriages and wine realised 50,114fr. Prince Demidoff was the most extravagant of the extravasjnnt roue's of tho Second Empire. His Halo has been a veritable gathering of the eagles among the collectors of art treasures.

THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW,

The Easter Monday Review seems to have left a very favourable impression of thu discipline and elliciency of the Volun teers. Strange to say the Artists Corps was highly spoken of for tho neatness of its dress and accoutrements'. Those, who are acquainted with the appearance of its members in the London street-*, and while sketching in country places will hardly be able to reconcile this with their preconceived ideas. Their Colonel is Sir Frederick Lcighton, the President of the Royal Academy, but ho has not much time to devote to his military duties, and some dis content has been cxpiesscd at his neglect of them.

Sir Frederick Leighton, and Messrs Millais and Watts, three singularly hand some men, have been requested by the King of Italy to add their portraits, painted by themselves, to the gallery of self portrayed attists in the Ullizi.

INTERESTING TRIAL,

An interesting trial is coming on at Milan in May. There General Bodt is to appear, according to the dceree of the Supreme Court of Appeal of Rome, to answer the charge brought against him by Don Carlos of stealing from him an order of the "Golden Fleece." Dou Carlos is hinuelf to appear as a witness, and some curious disclosures arc anticipated.

NAPOLEON AND THE JESUITS.

Prince Napoleon has published a letter slating his views upoa the decrees against the Jesuits. The letter declares that a Napoleon cannot, without being false to his origin, ghow himself an enemy of religion, or of the revolution. But "the recent decrees couceruiug religious bodies do not constitute persecution; they are but a icturn to an indispensable rule of public law." By some critics this letter is con sidered a stroke of policy, a? it places Prince Napoleon in a position independent of all parties ; at the same time it has alienated, not only the extreme Catholics on the one side, and the radicals on the other, but sonic of the firmest adherents of the Bona parte family. M. Paul Cagsanac trausfers his allegiance to Prince Napoleon's boh, Prince Victor. The late I'rincc Imperial designated Prince Victor as his heir. Prince Lucien has also protested.

THE MISSING TRAINING SHIP.- THREE HUNDRED YOUNG SEA MEN ON BOARD.

Naturally the auxiety felt; with respect to the fate of the training ship Atalanta has been painful in the extreme to the relations of those on. board. The Admiralty has ■been inundated with letters cf inquiry. The Atalauta is the sister ship of the Kury tlicc, and was made into a Straining ship after the sad fate of that vessel. Stic had on board eleven officers and about three hundred young seamen, exclusive of petty oilicers selected from vessels at different parts for the purpose (of being trained in practical seamanship. The Atalanta is only capable of carrying a stowage of water sullicicnt for sixty days. Sho is a corvette, exclusively dependent on her sailing capa bilities. She was signalled at Bermuda on January 29. The Bacchante, with the two young princes on board, is now on the pas sage home from Bermuda, so that the Ata lauta may be fallen in with. The Channel squadron received orders on the 10th April to proccedj' from Gibraltar) to the Azores, and cruise home on the track from Bermuda. The Tamar, of Plymouth, a West India mail steamer, reported having seen a copper-bottomed ship bottom up on her homeward passage, and this much deepened the anxiety felt "hero, as Her Majesty's ships are so sheathed, whereas the mercan e vessels, as a rule, use yellow metal. The Atalanta was built in 1844, and after ' ing service aa a man-of-war, she was sed"as a police hoik in Portsmouth har % our, and was then called the Juno. Mr Thomas Brassey, while expressing a hope that the Atalanta may be merely dis masted and becalmed, takes the opportunity to call attention to the desirability of sending our young seamen to sea in ships of a superior class to the Eurydice and Ata lanta. He raaintaius that training may be best obtained in a sailing vessel, and that the Atalanta, however seaworthy, i 3 con spicuously inferior to the noble specimens of naval architecture which are now to be found in the commercial marine in the colonial trade. , , The authorities still maintain that sne could not capsize.

THE RESIGNATION OF BISMARCK,

Bismarck has again gone through the farce of resigning the Chancellorship; Europe is beginning to sec through it at last. It seems that he can command the

votes of Prussia nnd Alsace-Lorraine on a division, but that they are far out numbered by the rest of the Empire. The measure on which he was defeated was an unimpor tant one, but it would be awkward to risk a defeat in cuse of a declaration of war. Prince Bismarck wishes to introduce a reform iv the representation of the diilereut States of the Empire, find knows himself indispensable to his Imperial master. Of coarse his resignation was not accepted.} The Duke of Edinburgh is superintend ing the distribution of the Marlborough Relief Fund on the West Coast of Ireland ; varying the amusement by salmon fishing in the Galway streams. Iv the latter pursuit he is very successful, one haul wus a twenty-pounder. The " Daily J-evy " is the latest soubriquet of the " Daily Tele- . graph" among its envious brethern ; its immense circulation is said to have ! deceased sicce the Liberal successes. . Mr Joseph Moses Levy is, however, one of the supposed candidates for a title, though by another writer he is represented as flourishing a blacking brush, and proiler ing liia services as shoe black to any of the Liberal leaders who will take him into favour. Liulcy Sambourue draws the " Times" as a yacht tacking to get before the wind. His adhesion to the foreign policy of the Government nearly lost Mr > Walter his seat fur Berkshire. The Liberals started his old supporter, Mr Rogers. Mr Walter maintained that the " Times " was tlic organ of the majority, and promised to support a Grauville-Hartington Minis try,

End of an American Vendetta.

A NEWSPAPER PROPRIETOR MUR.

DERED,

TERRIULE AND BLOODY SCENE,

Oq April 23rd San Francisco 'was fairly convulsed by the report flying through the streets like a stormrearcd whirlwind, that Charles De Young, the senior proprietor of the San Francisco "Chronicle," had been shot and instantly killed by Isaac M. Kal loch, son of Mayor Kalloch. The following are the statements of the eye-witnesses of the fatal rencoutre : A man named Anthony, who was stand ing iv front of the " Chronicle" publication ollice, stated that about S p.m. his attention was attracted by the sounds of shooting within. Turning quickly round ho saw I. M. Kalloch leaning as far as possible over the angle of the counter, with his pistol pointed at Charles Dc Youuj,', who stood facing a desk almost midway between the private oilice of M. H. De Young and the Kcarny-street door. Just as lie glanced within Killocli lired three more shots. De Young drew his revolver, a small silver mounted live-shooter, aud attempted t(> cock it, but hia strength failing, the pistol fell from hi* weakened grasp, and lie fell forward, gasping, against the desk. Anthony rushed toward the door just in time to clutch Kalloch, who was in the net ot walking away. At this point a police man came forward, and relieved him of his prisoner. Rushing into the ollice, Anthony was just in time to prevent De Young from fulling to the iloor. He asked: "What ia the matter, Chailes?" but the livid lips of the wounded man niado no reply, and in three or four minutes he died, Examination of De Young's lifeless form, us lie lay stretched on the Iloor, showed that one ball had entered his mouth, aud, glancing upward, had penetrated the back of his brain, while another had bored a ghastly hole in his neck about four inches below his chin. Three of the bullets had missed their mark. One had broken the glass window oi (he private oilice. Another shot struck the wall to the south and glanced through the glass-door opening cm to the Bush-street hallway, while a third had grazed the plastering and imbedded itself in the window cat-ing. E. B. Head says that with Joseph S. Spear they last evening entered the "Chronicle" publica tion ollice, nnd after transacting some business, started to go out, when they met Chan. De Young and engaged in conversa tion with him. They had boon talking but a few moments when Mr Read says the door was suddenly opened and I. M. Kalloch walked, or rather rushed, in. lie apparently tool; but a stride when be was abreast of Dc Young, the pistol glcnming in his hand, and pUiciue the weapon within two feet of his face, iired. De Young at once sprang behind Mr Read, and grasping him by the arm, endeavoured to use him as a shield. At this point Kalloch reached over Mr Read's right shoulder and iirctl the second shot. So close was the lire that Mr Head's eye was blood-shot, the side of hid face begrimed with powder, and the hair on that side of Ilia head badly singed. After the discharge of the secoud shot, De Young released his hold upon Head and made a dasli for the further end of the room, and as he reached the gate of the fence which separates the front part of the counting-room from the private oilice, he turned aud raised his re volver, pointing it towards Kalloch, who hud started in pursuit, but had been seized by Read. The latter says that when he saw De Young raise hia revolver, and know ing that he had been hit, nnd if he shot at all, would shoot wildly, and be as liable to hit him as Kalloch, he loosened his hold upon him, and jumped to one side. lie is under the impression that De Young lircd a shot, but cannot be certain. Kalloch dis charged his weapon the third time as De Young stood in the gateway, the ball strik ing the wall. After this, Dc Young ran around the high desk, and Kalloch, step ping back a little, turned, and. leaning over the counter, fired again, once or twice, when De Young fell. Mr Spear corrobor ates the statement of Mr Read as to the en trance of lfalloch and ithe firing of the first aud second shots. After they were dis charged he said that he knew enough alout De Young to know that (he would return the fire if he got a chance, aud made up his mind the safest place wsison-thc outside, so he left the office. He thinks that between three and four minutes elapsed after lie left the oilice before Mr Read came out, which was after De Young had fallen. Mr Read and Mr Spear both agree that neither Kalloch or De Young spoke a word after the former entered the oflice.

CAREER OF DE YOUNG

The " Stock Exchange," under the head ing of " Charlo3 de Young." sums up the character and life of the deceased journalist in the following manner : 11 Charles dc Young's Rood qualities may bo truly said to have been of the head ; he had few of the heart, and while he had many admirers posseKßcd very few friends. From the time the " Chronicle" was founded bis sole ambition was to make it the load ing newspaper of the Coast. How well he succeeded the fierce envy and malice almost daily exhibited of his journalistic rivals aulliciently attests. 'Ihe "New York Herald" of the early days became his model, and what Bennett had been to journalism in the East, ho contemplated being to jour nali.vii in the West. 1* or the firat few years of its existence it was a purely sensational and libellous sheet. It received no trie graphic news, and it flourished chiefly through the publication of scandalous item .i accompanied, however, with very fair cor rcspoudcncc and able editorials. By degrees as its circulation increased, it became more dignified and more truthful, and at the time it opened its batteries on Kalloch, at the close of the victory which it had so gal lantly made in favour of the New Constitu tion, it stood confessedly, by all odds, the leading newspaper of the Pacific Coast. Had de Young here paused, satisfied with his laurels, his paper would have existed unchecked in its career of pros perity, and he would be alive as we now write. But he became dazzled at the suc cess he had achieved. He actively entered' the arena of politics, and fondly hoped to become the political dictator of the State. Those who attended the Constitutional, otherwise known as the "Bilk" Conven tion, know how vigorously he cracked the whip over their heads ; how imperatively and audaciously he dictated nominations and threatened with his displeasure and the unrelenting war of the "Chronicle," auyonc who dared oppose his policy. He gave his life and hope to the Sand-lot; he clothed Kearney with, the power lie exhibited for long years over illiterate and vulgar audiences. He exhibited little gratitude to his employee, and seldom placed them in the line of promotion. He considered them as instruments to be treated well as the occasion warranted. His tenacity of pur pose was only equalled by his burning enmity. He had all the intellectual attri butes of a great journalist, but hia moral attributes unfitted him in the long run to make any |newspaper| fa success, and it is no wonder that he reached his earthly end through a slayer's hands.' THE MURDERER'S JUSTIFICATION. M. Kalloch, stated to a press reporter, in answer to a question as to whether the dis tribution of an anonymous pamphlet led to the cause of the shooting, and whether he had learned that de Young had had the document published, he said :" I don't think it would be prudent to answer these questions. lam in the hands of counsel, as you know, and while I have many friends on the Press, it is best to say nothing at present." When told that it was rumoured that he saw the pamphlet in a book store on Market-street, and that on the impulse of the moment he went for de Young, he said : " I have nothing to say on that subject, but you can state that I protest against the case being tried in the newspapers, as it

was iv the "Alia" this morning. CharkS dc. Young was a man to whom nothing was saciod, not even the name of my mother. I protest against any paper rushing to his defence, ns the " Alta" has done. He has reviled everything that is holy. Wife, mother, sister-all that we hold dear—■ were objects of hia slander. This is all I have to say at present. I protest against the matter of this difficulty being prejudged and tried by any newspaper."

jjglt will be remembered that De Young, a few months a^o, attempted to kill Kal loch's father, siuce elected Mayor of San Francisco, aud iuflicted very serious bullet wounds upon him, De Young was on bail awaiting trial for the ofl'cnce, and the pamphlet referred to above was one detail ing the substence of a charge against the Rev. Mr Kalloch (the assassan's father) for adaltry while pastor of a church iv Boston in 1857.1 There were sent to .nearly every poison of iuiluence in the community, and were intruded it is alleged to have the jury iv Dc Young's favour at the coming trial.

CITY COUNCIL.

A SPECIAL meeting of the City Council was hold this afternoon, for the purpose of con sidering what stops should be taken for the repair of Custom House-street West. There were present :—The Mayor and Crs. Goldie, Fleming, Nathan, Aickin, Oiler, Thompson, Waddcl, and Crowther. —A letter was received from tho secretary of the Harbour Board stating that body's willingness to bear one half tho cost of repairing and keeping in repair the thorough faie referred to above.—After the engineer's recommendation* had also been read the Mayor moved, " That as the Harbour Board has agreed to pay one half the cost of repairs to Custom • house • street West, the Suivoyor be instructed to have the work done at once (including the kerb ing aud channelling of the east side of Nelson-street proviouslg agreed upon) as recomended in his report of 6th May."—Cr. Goldie seconded the motion which was carried after a short discussion, iv tho course of which attention was drawn to tho state of Custom-iiouse-strtet. —On the motion of Cr. Nathan it was agreed to repair Customhouse-street East (i.e. be tween the Britomait cutting and Mechanic's Bay) on the same'terms.

This was all the business,

OPUNAKE, this day PROGRESS OF ROAD-MAKING.

Fon die last few days, assisted by lino weather, the business of road-making lias been rapidly piocceded with. The bush south of tho camp at Kaikahoe has been cut through, and the open country on the other aide reached.

The telegraph poles have been brought from Opunakeand dropped along the lino under the personal superintendence of Major Goring and Captain Morrison. They were carted along the road from Opunake, a fact which is sullicient answer to the promulga tions of the impossible swamp theory.

Men are busily engaged in erecting the poles, nnd direct communication with tlic camp will booh bn established.

The bye Hi c from Npakuniikumi has been carried aouth over the two lines of road leading from the beach to Parihakn, and the camp will shortly be shifted.
