The Parihaka Meeting.

[FBOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

NORMANBY, this day. Te Whiti, at the Parihaka meeting on Sunday, declared that the Government, rich men, politicians, and soldiery, had come to his feet, and all was finished that day. The speeches of Te Whiti and Tohu were guarded and indefinite. The released pri soners are not allowed to return to Parihaka atr present. They remain near NOw Ply-: month, nnd all prisoners are to return together at the prophesied resurrection time. A request from tho returned prisoners for their wives and families waa refused by Te Whiti. Major Parris passed much timo with Hone Pihana.

Volunteer Intelligence.

The monthly inspection parade of the Vic toria, No 3, Hohson, and Scottish Com panies—comprising the .Auckland Rifle Battalion—took place at Ihe Drill-ahed yeaterday evening, under tho supervision of Major Withers. The attendance of the three former companies was highly' sat'ißfac tory. The following officers were liaaent: —Majors Derrom and I&orrow, Captains Dig nan, Mahon, and Home, Ad.utapt Clifton, and Lieutenants Robinson, Sldnnf*, Connolly, Hitchens, and Self/ AUhaiSwie of the inspection Major Withers ,rc^d a rather voluminous, correspondence from the Defence Office touching upon Volunteer regulations, capitation, priztffiring, &c. The battalion was subsequently taken over by Major Derrom,who exercised'itin various field revolutions preparatory to the Review to he held at Ellerslie on the 9th Nov. next. The No 3 Company made its first appearance npon this occasion in their new head dress, viz., white helmets with silver ornaments which were much admired as presenting a smart military appearance. They aro similar to those adopted in the Prussian service, and being of local matiu-' facture reflect great credit upon the estab lishments of Messrs Fenton and Teuten her'g, and will doubtless bo found to be,yory > comfortable during the summer months,: being of a light description, and much cooler than the dark helmets, which absorb tho heat. Wo understand that Major Withers has acceded to the wishes of the deputa tion of officers, in expressing his willingness to take command at the forthcoming review, which has given much satisfaction, and has requested the officers of the various corps to meet him on Thursday evening next at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of completing ar rangements in that behalf. It is the inten tion" of tho Victoria and N 0.3 Companies to attend divine service at St. Paul's Church on next Sunday morning, and they may perhaps be joined by other companies.

THE BERMAGUI RUSH.

The Bega *■ Standard " says :—" Ohe sees men from all sorts of out-of-tho-way places.' Our own dairy farmers muster strong; there ore men from New Zealand, from Temora, from Ballarat, and from Port Dar win a medley mixture that the rush for gold has brought together. That there Willie many disappointed is only too true, but-we can safely say that the rush has been of, their own making. The strip of beach reaches from Walluga Lake to Bermagni, say 3i miles, and of this pcrhapi two miles ispayable, perhaps more. Tho claims along it will have to be tackled systematically to make work remunerative. The whole ot the aaud mußt be stripped from the face and tbe washdirt paddocked, and then comes the trouble-washing the gold out. At present there is not even the most primi tive " cradle " on the ground. If a digger wants to wash a prospect, a9 we saw many washed, he takes his pan to the sea and waits until the receding wave leaves o little quiet hole in the sand. He is, perhaps, half through, when his mate calls out " Look out, Jack," and Jack looks out, and hops out of the way of a breaker, leaving, perhaps, half his washdirt for the sea to make nlay of. Even in this way valuable prospects are obtained, and such prospects as justified Mr Keigbtley's telegrams ot, Saturday last, hut tho warden should have gone a littlo further and told people at a distance that all the ________ aiailflhlfi

The Diocesan Synod.

'The Synod met at 5 o'clock yesterday after inooh'ahd Was well attended, the Bishop presiding. A proposal wns made by Dr Goldsbro' to collect contributions from the 'members towards the expense of tho Synod, but tlie president declined to sanction such ja proceeding until it has been authorised by jtho Synod. The Roy W. Lambert waa ;ndtnitted to a seat in tho Synod.—Progress 'was made in committee ou the proposed .amendments to " Statutes Nos'2, 4, 5, and •7."—Gonaidorablo -discussion took place ou 'an amendment proposed by Rev [Mr Tebbs to insert , after clause 12 " To provide for tho proper conduct of Divine [service in chapels ot ease (or mission churches) without districts attached, -within .duly constituted parishes, two sidesmen shall !be appointed kt the time of tho election of {churchwardens; one to be nominated by the [incumbent of the parish, and the other to be elected by the congregation of the chapel in question ; and that such sidesmen shall act ;as deputies for and bo responsible to the churchwardens of the parish for the due discharge of their duties."— jThis was ultimately withdrawn.—A motion by Mr Upton to provide funds for Sunday schools was negatived on a division. Mr j Upton also moved a new clause to place tho management 'of Sunday schools aud ap ipointment of teachers under the control of ministers ot parishes, which was adopted.— Key Mr Tebbs moved an amendment in ■clause -28 requiring all persons holding-lay offices in a pariah to be communicants. —This proposal was sharply criticised by Mr Hughos, Who thought the mover should 'have become a little more colonised before proposing it.—Mr Tebbs deprecated this personal reflection, and declared that he jwas merely actuated by a sense of duty.— iThe motion was lost. —Mr Nelson moved an 'amendment providing that in the event of any disagreement between' the minister iand vestry an appeal should be made to the Standing Committee. Ho instanced the case in which he nnd hia. vestry had disa greed as to the dismissal of an officer of the Church, who ho considered had dis grace! himself and the Church. Mr Hughes denied that any complaint bad been proved beforo the vestry, and Arch deacon Maunsell deprecated tho introduc tion of local matters. The clauso was agreed to, and notices of motion having been given, the Synod adjourned.

Correspondence.

A.R.C. SUMMSR MEETING.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Racing is sufficient a lottery'to Owners of horses, without it being made more so by the Auckland Racing Club deferring the appointment ot a handicappcr for the Auckland Summer Meeting till after the nominations for the principal races are due. Perhaps tha Secretary of the Auck !and Racing Club desires to try his hand at ,he handicapping, but if the Club allow it itbey will make a mistake. When my horse, King Quail; won the Cup at the Ellerslie Gardens, Mr Hunt, owner of Yatapa, the socond horse in tho races, entered a protest against King Quail. This I looked upon just as a trick of the trade, but whon

1 was informed thaat Mr Pcrcival, secretary of tho Auckland Racing Club, had also en tered a protest against my horse for somo fancied interest he had in Vampire, I drew the conclusion that he could mako an impartial handicap. Surely, if the Club be stir themselves, they can yet secure tho services of a veteran handicapper, and by giving timely notice of it will thoreby con siderably add to the number of nominations fpr the handicap races for their summer Teeting.— I am, &c, ~„-,, ..S.-£ .HORSFALL.

FLOATING COFFINS.

(To the Editor.)

Stilt, — The lamentable loss of life through the wreck of such "a* miserably, un acawojrthy vessel as the Susannah, Godetrpy ill 0 a 'ncigh-oiirl-g' colony, has vividly brought to my mind the fact of thero being several vessels, either belonging or trading to this port,' of au equally inferior class, and Which will some day, sooner or later, become collins to those who sail in them.

! Tho barque in question was so entirely had that no Insurance Company in Sydney would touch her, yet surveyots were found to state that " she was a fit aud proper Vessel tft'earry coal or timber to any j>art of tho world." Here was a vessel, which,was, uninsurable, making at anchor 5 lot. ot water in 12 hours, allowed to go to sea on n long voyage, with 21 human beings ; on board; and'no Government officer to pre vent such wilful manslaughter. What has just happened at Newcastle may occur Heio any day. I could point to three or four "floating coffins"; vessels literally hang ing together, thoroughly roitea,^ and decayed, yet owners, yes, respectable owners,sail them; men who would look atkance at you if you ever suspected them capable of defrauding you of a penny—good conscientious, go-to-meeting men, but against whom the cry of the widow and the orphan will one day rise up in judgment, for their miserable money-making greed, in sacrificing human lives for the sake of rapidly amassing a few paltry pounds. Oh 1 that we had a Plimaoll here to Bhamo these grq&ly owners, and prevent-their sending such coffins to sea, or else officials who wo(p4 sternly do their duly. g , Hia men must work and womea must weep, ' Though stotms be BUddon and waters doop, j Anid the harbour bar be rolling. I -ll am. &c., "A Sailor's Orphan."

THE STABBING CASE.

(To the Editor.)

kik,—Public'morals have indeed sustained A Whock. In tho article which appeared inJTuesday's " Herald," and by the decision y/iiiVi Mr Barstbw arrived at of Friday last in'thelßtabbing case, I am > ready at on.cc to put tho case strongly against JAden Smith, by saying that ho had no right to stijike. jDuelberg,' | and that such conduct was most reprehensible, for-which-''the former ,wp)tld, doubtles?, and probably :be: either', fined or .' bound over.'- At the sanie Jfiihe we must admit that the blow was simply given with' hia fist. Does this justify jthe instant drawing of a knife and plunging it into Smith's thigh and shoulder? ,In civilized society such an act would'nbt be countenanced. However much the most heartless Magistrate might reprimand Smith, who gave the first blow, ho could scarcely, seeing as I did, the trousers cut lor abouttwo inches, aud the coat cut in severalplaces, and both garments saturated Vvith blood—have said what Mr Barstovv said-on Friday, that Duelberg was justified in drawing a deadly weapon such as a knife, or even revolver, and using either, jgOne cannot believe his ears, but it is true, and T was in Court and heard it Mr Tole', counsel for the prosecution, said in astonish ment, that if His Worship ruled that prisoner could, under such circumstances, draw and use a knife he would be equally justified in drawing a revolver and shooting the man who had inst struck him with bis fist, and His Worship said " most certainly he would." Gracious Heavens 1 Wo ask ourselves where are we living, when encouragements so un-English and even murderous receive the weight of judicial authority. Well might Mr Tole say that such a decision was contrary to all law : hut the profound and all-confident occupant of the Bench, would not allow Mr Tole even to point out by reference to cases where His Worship was upsetting our moral code. Any one who reads the deposi tions upon which the "Herald's " leader is not founded, will say that it behoves the public to guard the law that protects their lives and limbs; aud never was there a case (and I say it as an eye and ear witness to the proceedings) in which a decision deserved more the force of public condemna tion than Aden Smith's. :I or the magiß.

names, such as " bully," is no answer to the outrage on society by Duelberg. A magis trate possessing the brains of a sparrow would not ignore the claims of the public to protection, just because he had a down oh Aden Smith. If Smith were as bad as it would seem! to be anxious to make out, would it not have been easy for both Smith and Robinson to have sworn without the slightest possibility of contradiction that Smith never struck Duelberg at all , Both men honestly told the truth, for which they got no credit, bu. on the contrary mCt with the foulest abuse both from the Bench and in a leading ,article in a manner discreditable in the highest degree to both. Whatever may be said in Smith's case (and what was said from the Bench I maintain was un warrantable) it is, however, impossible to justify Duelberg in his attack with a knife upon Robinson, whom the ••Herald", even admits was "on inoffensive per", son."—l am, &c, Justice.

LARGE DOCK FOR AUCKLAND.

At the meeting of tho Harbour Board yes terday tho following letter and petition were read : —" D. H. McKonzie, Esq., Chairman, Auckland Harbour Board: Sir,—l am re. quested to forward to your Board the en closed petition for consideration, and would .specially draw your attention to ono ira .portant fact in connection with this work. The canal now agreed to be constructed through South America by Baron do Lcs seps will, no doubt, be the means of tho carrying trado between Europe and the Colonies being done by largo steamers, and Auckland, being tho lirst port of call in tho Southern Hemisphere, Bhould be prepared, with her fiicilitieß, for taking advantage of this change-I am, &c, John Lamii." D. H. McKbnzie, Est.., Chairman and Member of tho Harbour Board, Auck land,— ' We, tho undersigned residents of Auck land, considering the present statu of .tho money aud labour market, Would respect fully Urge upon your honourable Board that this is a favourable time for the construction of a largo dock, capable of docking tho largest class of vessels visiting the Southern Hemisphere. Ihe construction of such n dock would materially advance tbo interests, and also developo the resources of Auck land. By complying with this ' re quest, your petitioners will over pray,— John Lamb, J. C. Firth, A. Clark and Sofcg, W. McArthur & Co., Ireland Bros., Cruickshank & Co., H. F. An derson* Co., J. Dilworth, Henderson ahd Macfarlane, Stewart & Garlick, G.:W. Owen & Co., Walker & Co., B. Tonks & Co., Fraser & Tinnb, Coup land & Co , Siiera Bros., Hull Bros., J. & D. Oxley, A. Heather, E. and A. Isaacs, Brown, Campbell & Co., James Williamson, John Reid, Chas. F. Goldsiiro' (J.P.), John Buchanan, J. Howard, Kummeu & Co., A. Hines and Co., G. P. Jakins, T. & 8. Morrin, Joseph Newman, M.

Mr Boylan said the whole diifioulty was ono of finance; but thia could he surmounted if importers would pay 6s or ON extra per ton. A large dook would be of groat benefit to Auokland, and it was tho more necessary iv view of the administration of Polynesia by a Governor resident in New Zealand. Mr Comnton thought the Interest and sinking fund on the proposed dock would only increase the charge to importera by 2s or 3a a ton. Mr Aickin thought prison la bour might bo utilised in the construction of a. dook. The Chairman thought the Board would require to nearly double its revenue. Mr Waddel was opposed to any increase of the wharf charges. The matter was re ferred to tbe Works Committee for their report. Tho Board had received offers of sites at Calliope Point from Messrs. W. Aitken and W. S. Wilson, but tho con sideration of the proposals was postponed.

GRAND SACRED CONCERT AT ST LUKE'S, REMUERA.

Mn Charles Hesketh took a front seat and wielded, the baton last night at this church of small dimensions, and, in sootb, thero waa a disposition, in spite of the vagaries of Plurius, "to ganjj awa' to the kirk "and listen to the musical m.lnnge 'compounded by that most energetic gentle man who for this occasion only emulated 'the' Shades of a Sir Julius Benedict or Michael Costa. A fashionable gathering, together with visitors from the North Shore, were well kept in countenance with the lead ing inamorata of Bemuera social circles, when liatening for two hours to a choice selection of that "sine quit non" of all kirks, viz., psalmody, hymns, and spiritual songs. In the anthem, " What are theso that are Arrayed in White Robes/ the parts were evenly balanced, and throughout the amateurs evinced signs of steady work tor several weeks agone.. though towards tho cfoso (Mrs McFadjen was singing very wild ahd out of tempo. Mr Herbert Claude Brook, Associate of Arts, followed in Sims Reeves' favourite Hood Friday solo at the Alexandra Palace, England, entitled, "I Know That My Re deemer Liveth," Handel. Mrs Pago, succeededin " AngelsEverßright and Fair,' This is without doubt the best of Theo dora's moreceanx. The effect, however, was marred by that ever recurring fault of scamping the lower notes of tho gamut to obtain the higher ones, and having so done make uo clear resonance to atone. Witlt this exception the lady seemed quite at home in her latest effort. The solo, piano-' forte, "With Verdure Clad" was a most painstaking movement, the youthful jlhughter of Captain Tilly retiring amid murmurs of great satisfaction. The best notes of-this composition to be made more telling require tho organ to display the allegro con fnoco. In " Charity," No. 3of the Christian Graces, Steven Glover's gem, the words from the prolific pen ot Chas. Jefforys, Mr Morgan emerged from his -retirement to demonstrate that greatest of arts in singing, viz., fixed tonality. Here there was no creation of artifical notes to make effect, though this has been a de-' praYed custom from time immemorial. The gentleman made a hit; the song being simple enough, yet Signor Mario, the peer less jjtcnor, was better liked in the old Engmh ditty, "Sally in our Alley." than- ' when in the most intricate mazes of Donezetti's! best opera, ihe duet, "O Lovely Peace," Mesdames Stonier and Stevens was a tait accompli, and here again the respirations were taken at the right time, exhibiting ease and grace. " The Lo3t Chord," Sulli van. | This is not a sacred song any more than are the profane melodies of the Passion Play held periodically at Ammergan, never theless the song thoroughly suited a well known gentleman, who is worthy to follow in tho retinue of Antoinette Sterling, who gave it the name it has. The rendering ot "If -faith all your hearts," by the some artist, was also superior in comparison to the i jecent attempt at St. Matthew's. Anthem, " Holy is the Lord our God." This shewed amarked precision in ensemble, and wis very pretty, whilst that of " 0 praise Go. in hia Holiness" was much liked, the fihoir getting well away together, and continuing to the end. Mrs Stanier's distinct articulation in " He was despised " shewed plenty of condolore oppasionato, and was realty a treat, and the pianoforte solo by Miss McFadjen was moat ably and cor rectly played, tho performance reflecting great credit upon her tutor, Professor Swallow. In "The Lord will provide," Mrs Binks, the lady was beßieged with tremolo, the result of intense nervousness. Sho, however, is possessed of a singularly attractive voice. In the trio " Lift Thine Eyes " Mrs Stevens was heard to great advantage, aa is usually the case. Mr Ryan has had long and tried practice in the sublime art, hut his delivery of Sunday was too noisy and powerful, as his lower register may bo. We cannot but characterise the business as very mediocre. The Rev. Mr Monro in a few well chosen remarks adroitly set forth the object of the entertainment and the forthcoming aeries to defray the cost of church renovation in the course of the evening, and Mrs Clark and Mrs Monroe both lent efficient aid by assist ing in the chair, the former lady again pre siding at the piano for the benefit of the various aspirants. The committee may congratulate themselves with results which from first to last stimulated a moßt enjoy. abl« evening.
