THE QUEENSLAND PREMIER

Mr Mcllwraith has been compared to a " friend of the family," who has received a general invitation,, ami on taking unej. pected advantage of it finds himself do trop in the midst of a removal. The officials he expected to meet were Conservatives, and the general temper of the conutry might be supposed to be of the same order. The chaugo in mental attitude must bo embar ras.ing —it is like earning prepared to con gratulate a suitor who has just been jilted. The party strife has beeu hot, and in some instances acrimonious. Wc hope Mr Mcll wraith will not judge us by the state of things on his arrival, but will stay long enough to see " the old folks at home" iv their right minds again. One writer fays : "There can be no question that Eng lish colonists and home-abiding Englishmen, of whatever party colour, have made up their minds once tor all on one subject. It is that British Australians, Canadians, South Africans, or by what other number less names the sections of the British popu lation may be known, shall be no aliens iv whatever other portion, ot the empire they may choose to take up their abode, and that Englishborn subjects shall be no aliens among them." Neither a Conservative nor a Liberal Go vernment is likely to a-k the colonies to cut themselves adrift. Whatever may have been said years ago by partisan.", was said under circumstancss very difl'erent from the existing ones. A farmer iv New South Wales, Canada, or New Zealand then ex pected tho British taxpayer to defray his share of the Imperial expenses. Since that time the British colonies have for the most part risen to the level both of their local liberties and of their Imperial equality. Now there would be two parties to any decree of banishment. British colonists possess the rights of partaers in the British Empire, and they would, we hope, refuse their consent to a dissolution of the firm.

GERMAN EMIGRATION.

No less than 33,327 subject, ot the German Empire, nearly two-thirds b-ing males, took ship last year for foreign port.?. By far the greater number went to tho United States, and British North America. After the?c countries Australia and Brazil seem to be the most attractive.

THE RED SEA ROUTE,

Several letters have been written lately about the dangers of the Red Sea. One correspondent astually asserts that the " Eastern and Australian Company, who have convoyed the mails, have lost nearly the whole of tho fleet with which they com menced the service," The writer adds "Anyono who has journeyed to the East via the Red Sea, and Indian Ocean, will never forget the fearful heat of the voyage, and how nearly unbearable it was when surrounded by the comforts of a first class passenger steamer. Wh-t then would be the sutleriugs of those, packed as_ they would necessarily be in an immigrant vessel? It is certain that the majority, particularly the women and children, would succomb to it." The letter is directed against the scheme of the Queens land Government for the conveyance of emigrants. "To make matters worse," Le says " the vessels are arranged to call, with a chance of waiting some days, at Singapore, a port exactly on the line, where cholera is frequently raging." Mr McAlister, Agent-General_ for the Queensland Government, maintains in re ply, that for eight months iv the year, no pleasanter route exists to the Australian Colonies and that only during those months was emigration carried on and also maintains that both the health aud comfort of the emi grants are well attended to. The only ships lost by the " Eastern and Australian Company " are the Singapore, and the Queensland; the Singapore was lost on the Cumberland Islands, and the Queensland was run down off Mel bourne.

MOUNT HOBSON DOMAIN BOARD.

THE first meeting of this newly-constituted body was held yesterday afternoon in Brunswick Building.-, Queen-street, all the members being iv attendance, viz , Messrs B. Tonks (iv the chair), J. M. Clark, S. Morrin, J. L. Wilson, and D. B. Ciuick sbank.

Opening Statement.—The Chairman in opening the meeting said that he had received a telegram from the Government announcing the issue of an Order-iu-Council constituting the gentlemen present a Domain Board, and fixing their meetings for the first Monday of each month at 3 p.m. The Order-iu-Council had since arrived. It re cited the powers delegated to the Board under the Public Domains Act, 18S0, and announced the bringing of the Recreation Ground under the operation of Public Domains Act, ISSO, etc. The Order was n-ad.

-.i_Ecno . of Officrrs.—-Mr B. Tonks was unanimously appointed chairman of the Board for the ensuing year, and Mr Digby Tonks secretary and treasurer for the same period. —it was resolved to open an account witn the I.auk of New Zealand, all cheques to be signed by the treasurer and any oue tnciuh.i- ot the Board.

Fencing.—The chairman said that it would be necessary to enclose the recrea tion grou.nl with a fence containing three entrances, ~> 'hat it might be open to tiie public at all times. With that ooject in view, the road lines would have to be surveyed. Alter some discussion the chairman was deputed to arrange for the survey of the road lines, while it was agreed to erect around the recreation ground a sub.itautial four-rail fence, with a hinge gate SO constructed as to exclude sheep from tho enclosure.—The chairmau and Mr Morrin were appointed to prepare specifica tions for fenciug, advertise for tenders, and accept lowest (provided it was reasonable in amount). It was also agreed that each member of the Board should pay three guineas towards the cost of fencing, and that other subscriptions should be obtained.

Leasing.—Sonic discussion eusued with respect to the advisability of leasing the ground for a year for pastoral purposes, the chairmau stating that as much as £50 might bo obtained iv this way. Eventu ally it was decided that the grouud (22 J acres in aiou) should bo leised, the Board however reserving to itself the right of planting two acres during the tsrm of lease, ou condition that if they did so the rent should be reduced pro rata.—The chairman and Mr Motrin were authorised to prepare specifica tions and advertise tenders for leasing to be submitted to the Board at its next meet ing.

Tiiis was all the business,

Correspondence.

MR. SPEIGHT, M.H.R. FOR CITY EAST, RE THE RECLAMATION WORKS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln the liouse of Representatives, on Friday last, the member for City Hast gave notico that he would move, " That the time hail arrivetl when the reclamation works in connection with the Auckland harbour should be pushed forward." Now, ns Mr Speight is the member for City East, and the works in question appertain to his dis trict, I, with many others, consider that he only did his imperative duty iv moving this question. Mr Speight, on the spot, must have been aware of all the stops taken by the Auckland members, as well as by your worthy special, respecting the recla mation works, aud of Mr Oliver's declared intention to accept a tender immediately for the construction of the sea-wall at the limit of the reclamation fixed iv Dompscy's tender, together with culverts, and to ask tlio House to vote a further sum to iill in the present area reclaimed to the sea-wall. Mr Oliver further says : The whole history of the work displays gross mismanagement ou the part of the former Minister of Works, in permitting the Public Works Depart ment to muddle the harbour, by allowing the contractor to till in earth before a sea wall was built. Not ;x word about his own conduct iv allowing the. evil to continue, al though, months ago, report after report, was forwarded to him pointing out the injury douo to the Harbour, au injury I regret to say that still continues. The entire prc-s of the city on this grievance was united. Tho Harbour Board, the Chamber of Commerce, and the City Corporation all in their indivi dual capacity, have reported the damage accruing to the Harbour and Wharves. Yet thero was no remedy. Tho mischief was allowed to co ou unchecked de spite every kind of remonstrance. Parlia ment meets, and it appears that the Minister for Works is now willing to let a sea-wall be built with the money remaining of the unexpireil vote (this should have been done long ago), ou all the Auckland mem bers presenting or signing a memorial on the subject, so at least 1 gather from the Southern telegrams. That is the to I,pact Mr Oliver wants—in fact an entire cou doncment of the gross mismanagement and culpable iguoraucc of the Board of Works, by which the finest harbour in New Zealand has been seriously injured. Taking into consideration the foregoing, I hardly think Mr Speight should be charged with ,: imbecility," for his independent action in tabling the motion in question, a motion which cannot now interfere wirii the residue of the unexpired vote being expended on the sea-wail, and oue which must bo fully discussed in the House, and throw light ou the greatest grievance that Auckland coulel suffer—the ruin of her magnificent harbour.

And now, Mr Editor, it is to be hoped that on this question the Auckland mem bers will act as one, and that we shall hear of no compacts when this subject comes beforo the ilou»e ; and for once let it be scon that no Ministry cau with impunity ignore with iudilicrence and neglect the just claims of Auckland.—l am, &c, W.S.

|Our correspondcut is wholly at fault in his statement of facts. Mr Speight could not have known the intention of Ministers when he gave iv his notice of motion, for that intention had not been declared. What we blame Mr Speight for as a City member is his refusal or neglect to attend a meeting of Auckland members convened by Mr O' Korke to consider the question of reclama tion and decide upon some immediate course of action. Mr Speight might have gone there and advocated the tabling of a resolution ia the House, but for some unexplained reason, unlc-ss petty jealousy, he absented himself from that meeting. Then when the Auckland members present, who re presented both sides in the House, after considering the matter and dis cussing it in all its bearings, resolved that the bs3t course was to represent the urgency of the case at once to the Minister of Public Works, Mr Speight discovered for the first time his zeal for the prosecution of the work, and with four other Auckland members—twe of whom, Messrs Lundon and Harris, arc avowedly opposed to the com pletion of the reclamation—he refused to co-operate with the other twelve. Is this the way to get " the Auckland members to act as one man?" We are not aware that Mr Speight is in any sense a leader among his colleagues, or that there is a better way to secure joint action upon Auckland questions than by first holding a meeting of the party. If it be admitted that a member may absent himself from such meeting- called to consider important non-political questions and then play the Don Quixote in opposition to the course approved by a large majority of the party, we shall have very little accord in the "phalanx" even upon ques tions of simple justice to Auck land. Our correspondent speaks of com pacts. If a representation of the gross wrong being done to Auckland by the destruction of our harbour constitutes a compact, then nearly every public body in the city has entered into unholy alliance with tho Government. We cannot admit that Mr Speight's conscience is more finely strung than the consciences of the other twelve Auckland members who, after due consideration, took the step which has com manded immediate attention towards a cry ing evil. We have no objection to any number •of resolutions in the House condemning the inaction of the Minister of Public Works since Dcmpsey's contract broke down. Mr Oliver's proceed ings are wholly indefensible, but this in a totally different question from Mr Speight's attitude towards his Auckland colleagues. —Ed. E.S.]

destitute child,

Til- ATT-HUURY CHARGES,

The Rev. George Attcrbury, alias Cor meck,appeared in answer to several charges of obtaining money, &c, by false repre sentations.

The first charge against tbe defendant was that of larceny as a bailee of £3, the pro perty ot Johu McNamara, ou tbe Ist May.

Mr Uesketh appeared iv defence, and pleaded not guilty.

Joseph John McNamara deposed that in April last he was staying at Mrs Hastings boarding-house, Grey-street, and there he became acquainted with the prisoner. On the 29th April lie got married. Tlio day previously he desired the prisoner to call upon Mr Quick, and arrange for a couple of carriages for the weddiug. Gave Mr Attcr bury £10, in £1 notes, to pay for the carnages. He came back with four notes, saying that he had paid £3 to Mr Quick, aud spcut three ou his own account. Did not think any more of the matter at tbe time. Got married the next morning, all passed pleasantly, but a fortnight after the wedding he received a bill for £3 from Mr Quick. Prisoner wus in tbe front room when tho bill was brought to tho front door. Was surprised, and handing the bill to Mr Cornice!- asked what it meant. He said he was very sorry, but must acknowledge that he had spent the money. He wished him to explain to Mr Quick. Prisoner wrote to that effect. Have since paid the £3.

Cross-examined by Mr Uesketh : Had known the prisoner fto_i the time of his coming to Wo.dbine cottage. Had lent him about £13 before the wedding inde pendently of the £6 iv connection with Mr Quick's carriages. Was rather liberal. Persons are uot expected to be stingy at marrying times. Prisoner was indebted to him £19 altogether.

To Sub-Inspector Pardy, Gave him £1 because he appeared ill, lent him £12 after wards.

Francis Quick, livery stable proprietor, deposed to receiving the Oder for the wed ding carriages of prisoner, tho charge was £?. Mr McNamara hid since paid the amount.

Detective Jeil'ery deposed to arresting the prisoner on this and other charges ; he iiuidc no reply, Mr Iloskoth spoke iv the prisoner's de fence, and urged sevogal objections against the information, contending that the de fendant could not be held as a bailee under the circumstances, nor was there any appearance of fraudulent iutcut, or con version.

His Worship s*id the case must fail because prisoner was notentrustc.l to pay any definite amount to Mr Quick.

The next charge brought was that of obtaining the sum of £2 from John David McLean by false pretences.

Suh-luspcctor Partly said that Mr McLean was compelled to leave for Fiji, so that he would not pre«s tho charge.

The prisoner was then charged under tho Vagrant Act with obtaining a benefit by false pretences, viz., imposing upon Mary Hastings to the amount of £6 19s Cd, board aud lodging. Mr Hesketh defended, and was prepared to shew according to instructions, that prisoner had property in Victoria managed by his agcut. Sub-luspecior Pardy considered that his prop-ity was situated iv .some imaginary Arcadia, not yet .surveyed. He told the young lady that he had a buggie aud two line horses, which there was reason to be lieve was imaginary anil unsubstantial.

Mary Hastings deposed that she kept n boarding-house in Grey-street, prisoner had been stopping at her house from the middle ot April, gave the name of George Corneck Ksq. of Melbourne, arranged for 25s weekly. He paid ihe first^fortnight, also the second. It then went ou to tho time of John McNamara's wedding. He promised to pay at the close of the next week, as he had £50 coming by the Ringarooma. Ho said his property in Australia had not realised according to his expectations. On his representations she continued to supply him with board and lodging. The Tararua came iv, by which he expected money, so he said, but no money came. He left on the Satur day following, and did uot return. His unpaid bill was £6 14s. To His Worship : The first month's was not giveu ou any representation of prisoner. Fletcher Lnug, clergyman of the Church of England, deposed that prisoner called at his residence a month ago, and said he wished to return to Victoria, but had no money. His wife was thero in illness. Ho declined to lend him money. Prisoner then said that he owed a tailor in Queen-strent the su o of £S, and if it was not immediately paid he should be arrested ova charge of obtaining money under false pretences. He declined to advance money. To Mr Hcsketh : Knew prisoner in Mel bourne ; he was a clergyman iv deacon's orders, Did not know his wife. Defendant stated his reason for leaving Melbourne.

To Sub-Inspector Pardy : Knew prisoner in Melbourne as " Atterbury." Ho said he became surety for £50. The bill became due and he was unable to meet it. He said all that he had was seized by his creditors.

Charles Melville Pym, rector of Cherry burton, Yorkshire, deposed to prisoner's calling upon him and telling a pitiful story similar to that told to Mr Long. Althoughhe did not directly ask assistance, he gave him a few shillings for his temporary relief. Did not know prisoner previously, but had seen him at the devotional meetings.

Detective Jeffrey gave evidence of nrrcs;. His Worship referred to the fact that his two first fortnight.' lodgings were paid without making any false statement, which, lie thought, would be fatal to the prosecu tion, but he would hear what counsel had to say upon it. Mr Uesketh addressed the Court, and dwelt upon the representation that he ex pected £50, which the prosecution had failed iv proving untrue. Ho said, "I expect money by the steamer," aud the evidence had uot falsified that statement, Ho held a letter (confidential) from ptisoucr's wife respecting his representations, which his Worship might read. His Worship said it was the reprconta tious which induced. Mrs Hastings to keep him, but she does not state that if it had not been for these she would have turned h: n out.

The case must be dismissed

Sub-Inspector Pardy .aid under these circumstances ho would ask to with draw tho other cases, as they would fail from the same causes, but he hoped the reports would reach other parts of the colony, so that people might bo prepared for his appearance.

LIABLE TO BOLT.

Isaac Franklin was fined Is costs 7s, for leaving his horse aud cart unattcuded in a public street.

LA.RRI.KINS,

Joseph Ball, David Ireland, and Samuel Nelson were charged with assaulting Eliza beth McLaren by putting their arms around her neck and trying to pull her in another direction.

The three prisoners pleaded not guilty. Sub-Inspector Pardy described the as sault, as will appear iv evidence. Elizabeth McLaren deposed that she was iv the service of Mr Eatou, On Sunday last she was passing down Symonds-street, and when near the lane by Mr Partington's the three prisoners molested her and soli cited her to go into the cemetery. Sue would not go. She was ou her way to the service at the Theatre.

To His Worship: She knew them all, and had been walkiug with them ova previous evening. William Brackenrig deposed to passing along Symonds-street on Sunday eveniug, and saw the prisoners mole.ting the girl. He spoke to a constable and informed him of what he saw. His Worship having heard the evidence said he was afraid there was too much of this conduct going on on Sunday evenings. It is very hard that a young person cannot

go to church without beiug molested. The evidence wa3 uot suflicient to convict Ball and Ireland, but was conclusive agaiust Nelsou who must pay forty shillings and costs, or be imprisoned for 14 days.

UNFATHERLY

William Stewart was charged with failing to maintain his son, Henry Stewart, an inmate of the Naval Training School.

Defendant said he would pay a moderate sum, 2s Gd or 3s. An order was made out for 3s por week. This was all the business.

That Whale Again.

Ftri_T__-K EXPEDITIONS TO CAPTURE IT.

During last eveniug and to-day the whaling excitement in the harbour and its vicinity has been rapidly growing in intensity. Business ou the wharf has been almost at a standstill, and friends and acquaintances ou meeting each other have foigotteu to remark upon tbe beautiful nature of the weather iv their desire to hear whether the whale has been captured'or not. We have heard many accouuts of the mousier having beeu seen last eveniug and this morning, and in fact there are very few who do not lay claim to the honour of having seen it in some parts of the harbour within the last twenty four hours. In fact, were we to credit all the statements which have beeu made on the subject, we would also have to believe that the harbour was swarming with whales, for some allege that they saw it oil' the Watchman at the same time as it was, according to other witucsscs, near the North Shore. Possibly, however, it might have been testiuj. its speed iv swimming by a series of trials between the marine suburb ' aud tho Watchman. Be this as it may, it has beeu proved conclusively that between four and live o'clock yesterday afternoon, the whale wus seen going down the harbour opposite the Queen-street Wharf. Several persons claim to have secu it during the night, but as it was reported to have been near Baugi toto Reef, at Judge's Bay, near Waiheke, aud also at the Watchman, these statements cauuot be accepted as wholly reliable. It is supposed, however, that it found its way iuto the Frith of the Thames, and then being uuablo to escape into tho "open sea," it returned to the waters of the Waitemata. Shortly after daybreak this morning it was seen oil' tho North Shore by several residents of that suburb, and; later on, the passengers by the first steamer from the North Shore reported having sighted It some distance oil". The news rapidly circulated, and the wharf was soou well pal ionised by persons anxious to sec the monster for themselves. Later steamers from the North Shore brought the intelligence that Mr C. Bailey, with a local crew, had gone in pursuit. This had the effect of stirring up tho Ponsonby whalers to activity, and it was determined that whatever else might happen, it would not do to let tho North Shoreites. claim the honour of catching "that whale," more especially when it had a i'ousonby harpoon iv itj side. Arrangements were therefore made for a boat, and very shortly afterwards a numb.rot well-known Ponsonby residents were to be seen promenading the wharf with harpoons, guns, lances, and other weapons of a deadly nature. Determination was plainly stumped on their countenances, and their supporters felt certain that the honour of the district would be upheld by their representatives. Mean time, n report came to hand that Mr Bailey's crew had captured the whale, but the rumour was treated with tho con tempt which, in the eyes of the Ponsonby people, it deserved. These preparations had the cll'ect of attracting a large crowd of spectators, and the scene was oven more animated thau thut of yesterday. Amongst the assemblage were several "old salts," and the remarks which they made were very .sarcastic indeed, but they were imme diately put down by those interested to malice and envy. Oue old gentleman, remarking upon the position of the line, and other arrangements of gear, thought it would be very unfortunate indeed if they should happen to strike the whale, while a wharf official, who might, considering his hii.li position, have been expected to know better, was inquisitive enough to ask " who was the caterer for the expedition." In duo time, however, the boat was fully equipped, and ready to start. No time was lost iv getting away, but unfortunately when all was iv order for a brilliant departure, one of the cars succeeded in getting overboard. It was duly picked up, but the incident served as a subject for a lecture by an elderly gentleman on "bad omens" gene rally. The crew in the meantime had got tbeir oars out, and were now [dying them vigorously, Several changes had taken place in the party, and there was a little of the professional element introduced. Tho position of harpoonist, owing to the absence of Captain Farquhar at Tauranga, was taken by Ike Hunt. Captain Yutes, of the Anna Bell, took tho steering oar, and Messrs Maselield, W. F. Jones, and D. Morpeth, witli a stranger, made up tho remainder of the whaling expedition. It had previously been determined to proceed in the direction of tho Nortli Head, and then on the southern side of llangitoto, On the way down tbe steamer Tain o' Shauter was hailed, and enquiries made as to the where abouts of the whale. No fresh information was elicited, however, ami the boat con tinued its course. A sto.g-gc was mado at tho North Shore, and it was ascertained that Mr Bailey's crew had just returned un succe.sful. They reported that they had followed it out past the llangitoto Beef. The Ponsonby crew therefore left again as speedily as possible, and continued in pursuit. They had not been successful in capturing it when the Ringarooma passed through the channel at two p.m , and no later intelligence had been received up till four o'clock.

BENIGHTED WHALERS.

On Sunday afternoon, it appears that several boats continued in pursuit of the whale up to Wood's Island. Ono of those containing two well-known young men of Ponsonby, and it is said that thoy were so fully convinced that they could catch the monster that they proceeded on uutil the shades of night overtook them, ltepcnting of their enthusiasm, however, they turned the boat's head in the directiau of home, and then for the first time during the afternoon, they voted that the boat was heavy and the tide strong. They could make but little headway, and being tired, cold, and- hungry, they were ou the point of giving up in despair, when as sistance arrived iv the person of Mr Demoi drey, a resident on the island. He very hospitably invited them to come ashore to his residence. There they were very kindly eutertainedland supplied with refreshment, and when the tide began to ,ebb they re turned their grateful thanks to thoir gener ous host, and once more took to their boat. Ponsonby was reached in clue course, but both young men have determined that n considerable period will elapse before their next whaling expedition.

ALBERTLAND SPECIAL SETTLE MENT.

The 29th of May is a day of special interest to the settlers here. Eighteen years ago on .Saturday since the Albortlaudcrs left- Londou, and Auckland has received no such impoitant addition to her population since the arrival of the Non-conformist emigrants, in September, 1862. The most enthusiastic and prejudiced Albc-rtlaudcr is bound to admit there have been failures and disappointments in the history of the settlement. But to the Provincial Govern, ment of Auckland docs the blame belong, that the settlement has not made that progress 'which was expected by the more ardent admirers ot the scheme. Still, judging this by older and more favourably situated settlements, we may congratulate; the Albertlauders for their energy, industry and perseverance, proof of which is scon in tho mmy com fortablo homesteads throughout tho various parts of the district. It is usual to have an Anniversary meeting, aud it w*s held this year iv tho new schoolroom, Wharehine, on Saturday. A most pleasant meeting it was. The weather the day before was such as to cause many to fear there would be no meet ing, but, a warm, sunny day succeeded the Friday's pouring rain. About 200 persons wero present, and after tea a public meeting was htld, tho Rev.? W. Gittos presiding. The rev. gentleman expressed his pleasure at being once more with the settlers of this district. At all times since the commencement of the settlement he had taken deep interest in tho welfare of the Albertlaud districts. We congratulate them on the steady and marked progress that had attended their efforts in subduing the wilderness, adding a few words of en couragement for the future. The children, under the able direction of Mr T. Marcroft, sang several pieces during the evening. Two pieces of instrumental music by Mr W. Armitage (violin), aud Mrs .Cutforth (harmonium) were well rendered and loudly applauded ; Shakesperian reading, Mr J. W. Smith; song, " The Wolf," Mr Armi tago ; recitations by Mr E. Morgan and W. Stephens ; songs by Mrs Piummei and Mr B. Cutforth. The speakers were Dr Ross, and Messrs Witheford, J. Shepherd, and an old Albertlandcr from Mahurangi, Mr W. Cutler, who never fails to speak a good word for the district in a way that shows he feels every word to be true. The pro

ceeds of the meeting will be presented to Mi-Witheford, senr., a respected settler, as a recognition of his services on Sundays for many years. Votes of thanks were passed to all who had in any way contributed to the success of the meeting. —Own CORBES PONDEST.

Attempted Suicide at Epsom.

A MARKET-GARDENER CUTS HIS

THROAT.

News was brought into town this afternoon of a desperate attempt at self-destruction which was made this morning at Epsom by a market-gardener named William Pemberton. The man has been residing iv the district for the last ten years, and he is well and favourably known both there and at town. lie is a settler of liftseu years, stauding, and has up to the present time borne a character fcr thrift, stead'ness, and neighbourly qualities. Latterly, how ever, he has given way some what to intemperate habits, aud the ell'cct upon his miud has beeu such as to lead him to the commission of the rash attempt to end his life. The circumstances under which the ail'air took place are briefly these : —This morning the wretched man despatched his son, who is des cribed as a grown lad, into town with a load of greenstuil', and it appears that shortly afterwards ho betook himself to a hay-rick some distance from the house, and there essayed to cut his throat with au ordinary pen-knife. Some time alter, the children came to tho tick for the pur pose of nmueiug themselves. They dis covered th.tr father lying upon the hay with v gaping wound iv his throat, from which blood was gushing forth copiously with each laboured inspiration that he made. With admirable presence of mind the neighbours were at once acquainted with the discovery, and a messenger scut hastily iuto town for a doctor. Wc under stand that a medical man has gone out, but it is doubtful whether or not the un fortunate gar.flier still lives. His children ami himself were the only occupants of the dwelling-house upou tho farm. The report of the sail occurence spread quickly through out tho town, and excited general regret.

Operations at Waimate.

(13Y TELEGRAPH, UNITED PRESS.)

KAIKAHU, this day. The telegraph wire reached us here yes terday, and was connected with the battery, hut not early enough for mo to send you a message last night. Major Goring deserves the thanks of all for his untiring exertions under very unsatisfactory conditions of weather and roads, lie had personally superintended the lodging of poles along tho whole line, and their sub sequent erection. The poles being brought along the line of road lately cut is an un answerable denial to the great quaking Marsh theory. The natives on Te Whiti's selected portion arc exceedingly sulky, no reliance can be placed on anything they say, and a request for information is always answered by an attempt to mislead. They have apparently adopted the faculty of lying as a meaus of self-preservation. A native volunteered to guide the Major in his explorations as to the l>cst country through which to take the roiul. His offer wns accepted, and he pointed out alive of country which Mould have led the ro?.d party into the midst of agioup of swamps had this advice been taken. Major Goring, how ever, choso to investigate for himself, and in consequence found a route free fiom swamp, and with but a very few chains of bush to traverse. This bush has a number of e'earings and cultivations existing. It was probably tfith a view to keep Europeans in ignorance of these that the native volun teered his services as a pilot. No informa tion iv any way trustworthy can be gleaned from the natives as regards dray tracks, or their means of communication between tiicir various settlements. The constabu lary officers have to trust to personal obser vations in everything. Doubtless the Maoris trusted to the native diilicultics of the country to assist in the fiillihiient of Te Whiti's prophecy that the road would not meet, and many of them were in hopes that tho late 'inclement weather would cau .c our return, in consequence of the difficulty in bringing up supplies to the camp. So heavy were the Hoods that one of the native settlements iv the Waitahi Hiver was flooded, ami four feet of water floated the contents of the houies. Iv consequence of the lay of the country a great ileal of sur face water collects where no actu_l swamp exists ; but the remedy for this is easy, a drain being all that is required. The natives of Southern Taranaki hare never been disturbed, nor had their country iiivaHcd before, although they have always been instrumental in causing disturbances by their prophets, and other tiibes hare have hail to bear tho brunt of the punish ment inflicted. It is now their turn to stiller, and they are stupidly sulky in con sequence. Tbe natives of Parihaka arc busy ploughing laud, and for the syne pur pose some of them are also to be found nt every native settlement on the Taranaki Plains, assisting the resident Maoris.
