LAUNCH AT THE NORTH SHORE.

Tne announcement tnat the new schooner built by Messrs Sims and; Brown would be launched tnis forenoon attracted a large crowd of persons to the yard of the builders in ques tion. The launch was announced to take place at 10 a.m., but it was not until an hour after that time that all was ready for tho ceremony. The vessel looked very pretty on the stocks, h«r handsome lines being seen to [considerable ad vantage. She has been built on asimilar model to that of the Ovalaa, and she bears a clo.>e resemblance to thit vessel. All the rigging hnd been oompleted, and the vessel appeared to b» equipped ready to proceed to sea. When all was ready, the shores were knocked away, and the vessel Klided smoothly into her native element, Miss Mabel Brown christening her the Sovereign. Cheers were given and the assemb lage dispersed. The Sovereign is a top-sail-rigged schooner of 971 tons register, with a carry ing capacity of 170 tons. Her dimensions are :— Length of keel, 77 feet; overhaul, go feet; breadth of beam, 21 feet 6 inches; depth of hold, 0 feet 8 Inched. She is extra well-fitted, and It is expected that she will class eight years at Lloyds. The cabin of the vessel haa been nicely fitted ud and grained by Messrs Hooker and Shepherd. The Sovereign will be run by the owners who have built her tor themselves, it is expected that she will bo employed on the New Zealand coaitol trade, and her maiden trip will probably be made eitner to Russell or Lyttelton. Captain M. Hooper, formerly of the Traniit, has been appointed to take command of her. The Sovereign will very likely Icompete iv the champion schoonor race atithe next' Auc kland Regatta.

Owing to the pressure on our space by local matter and Australian news, wo are corapellod to omit leading articles and all correspondence. For the same reason the continuation of the story, " The Mystery of Lord Biackonbury," announced for to-day, is deferred'till Wednesday, by which time, it is hoped, the long reports of local events, and other arrears, will have been clearod off.

Messrs Fraier and White, City Audito-s and Public Accountants, certify that tho issue of tho Evening Star last week was 37,474. To-day being a public holiday, Sunday hours—namely, from 10 a.m. to 10.30, and from 5 p.m. te 5.30 p.m.—were observed at the various telegraph stations throughout the colony. Preparations arc being made for the attempt to launch the barque Lochnagar at Gisborne Should no tenders be accepted for the work, Captain Perrian will probably endeavour to get her off himself. The inquest at the Whau Lunatic Asylum on Saturday, before: Dr. Goldsbro' and a jury, on the body of Theophilus Williams, resulted in a verdict, of death from natural causes*. The deceased had been a labourer, and Was admitted a patient in the asylum oa the 16th May, 1871. Referring to the cose of Charles Madden, solicitor, the New Zealand "Times " says : —There was a short special sitting'of the Supreme Court in Banco yesterday, to take the adjourned case of the motion to disbar a solicitor at Marton. named Madden, for not paying over some trust moneys to his client. Since the adjournment it was stated that Mr Madden bad paid over the money, and his Honor tho Chief Justice therefore now discharged the rule, saying he was of opinion there had been no intention to mis appropriate.

The juvenile Templars of the Sir Henry Havelock Lodge held a most successful entertainment last evening in the Alexan dra-street schoolroom. The room was well filled by visitors, and young people, and suitably embellished for the occasion. Mr D. Goldie, -who takes much interest in the improvement of young people in connection with Templary and the Sunday-school, occupied the chair, and delivered an excel lent address. The musical and recitative proceedings opened with " Come friends and brethren," by the choir and company. The following were the chief of the items : "Here we stand," by,the Fritb family; recitation by Miss Sarah Froude; pianoforte selection, Miss Holloway; ''The Blind Girl's Dream " ; Miss Owen ; "Too Late," Mr Cartel; " Little Jim," recitation, Miss Kate Goodacre; pianoforte.

Considering the number of couu jter attractions, the entertainment was plea sant and successful. . Several friends who intended to have- been present and taken part, were unable to share in the joyous proceedings of the hour* - -'■

A Melbourne cablegram in auothd column states that M;it& and bin rliler (Walter Clifford) had been disqualified for over for dark riding—in others words dis honest riding. It is surmised that the durk' riding took place in the race for the Uoyul Park Stakes, iv which Muta was last; for ou tho following day he won the V. It. (J. Handicap easily, the time, too, having only been beaten once—viz., by Woodlands. The public must huvo been extensively bled iv cousequeuco. Tho diaquitlilieiilion will be v grievous blow to thu owner, for it will doubtless be ratilied by other clubs, and as Mata is a gelding he cannot be used for stud purposes.

Tho " Kutopean Mail" of Sopt. 24 says ;— "Between this and September 27 Mr George Vosey Stewart's third party will have embarked on boant tho Lmiy Jocolyu for Te Puke, and by tho time this reaches our readers in Australasia, the emigrants will bo well on the way to New Zealand. There are about -100 passengers in all, and they are loaviug Kiiglaud, confident in tho expectation ot improving their position iv a very short time in New Zealand. On September 23, v party of about eighty ladies and gentlemen visited the ship t"> inspect the arrangements made for the comfort of the passengers, and were after wards entertained at a luncheon, at which Mr Geo. Vcscy Stewart himself presided, and Sir Julius Vogel occupied tho vice chair. In tho course of ilia speech, Sir Julius Vogel referred to tho wave of depres sion pa.«aing over the colony, and described it as morely temDorarv iv its inllucuce.

The single yirls who arrived on Sunday by the ship Wangauui had a most eujoy able voyage from the old country—mid in great purt they owe the fact to the untiring exertions of Dr. Dnuklcy, F.R U.S., sonior medical olliccr in tho Now Zealand Ship ping Company's service. Ho not only maintained a capital system of discipline amongst his charges, but with, tho assistance of tho matron (Miss M. Lissaman) and the sub-matron arranged means of amusement and recreation for them. The spacious tween decks all'orded unumial facilities for such purposes, while the stores wore snili ciently ample to permit of much variety in the rcgimeu. It was the strict rule on board that the decks should be cleaned out every morning for inspection at 10 o'clock. Weekly concerts wore held while tho vessel was on the high seas, lectnrcs were delivered by the worthy doctor on "New Zealand," " India," " Ceylon," etc., and v very credit able fancy fair, for which there had been great preparation also took place. On arrival here tho doctor, tho matron, and the sub-matron were presented with testi monials. The girls arc for the most part from the North of Ireland, and the doctor says of them that although he has now made nine voyages in immigrant vessels he never met a better-behaved ftnd well con ducted lot than the present. Many of then were selected by Mr O, M. Reed. We; must not omit to mention that the Hospital assistant (C. Spinley) is favourably spoken of. The lauding took place yesterday, and already nearly tho whole of the girls have been engaged.

The performances at the Theatre lio.val last cveuing was favorably patronised by the supporters and friends of Mr James O'Brien, in the dress circle especially. The comedy of the evening was " His Last Legs," in which Mr O'Brien sustained the character of Felix O'Callaghan with true Irish humour, and a thorough conception of his hero. We| have often /witnessed the representations of Mr O'Brien,' butnever to greater advantage than on the lastocciw sion. The shrewdness and rich, gushing characteristics of the liveliest of the u'Cal lugban's were cleyerly delineated, aud with true success. Mr Plover, as the old man, Mr Kivcrs, was well pourtrayed. Mr Davenport, as Charles, was a fair represen tation, but the performer lacked energy. A little vigour andMr Davenport will succeed, Mr Williams did well as the old Doctor Banks. Mr Gallagher came out as " Patriik Finn," to tho great amusement of the auditor)-. The feminine characters were exhibited by Miss Jessie Itaymoud, the Misses Duke, and Dallon. The after concert was as perfect as possible, consisting of an overture by the orchestra. "There is a Flower that Bloometh " by Mr Edwards, who appeared in a second ballad in reply to tho voice of the listeners. Mr Gordon Gooch, R.A.M., sung "The Koll Call," with cornet obligato by Mr McComiah, which produced a storm "of applause. In response, Mr Gooch sang "The Old Pendulum," an old favourite. Miss Lincoln followed vii'.h her sweet little song, "In tho Gloaming,-' which met with v hearty reception. At the close Mr O'Brien bowed his acknowledgements to his friends.

Trial of uecl Kelly.

MKLIIOUKNE, October 30. The trial of Ned Kelly was continued yosttirdny morning, Tlie court was ex cessively crowded, and every precaution was taken with rospost to the custody of the prisoner, wlio appeared much paler than yesterday, aud exhibited the same (jit'ict demeanor which has been so noticeable i-inct) his capture at Gleurowau. While tlie witnesses were giving evidence the accused appeared restless, and although a seat was provided, he continued standing ill the iliiuk, attentively listening to the evidence.

Mr Smytho summed up on behalf of the Ciown, Mr Uiiidoii culling no witnesses for tho dofonco. Mr Smythe declared Kelly to be anything Imt a hero, lie waa a moan thief, who picked the pockets of the men ho murdered. Mr Dindou replied on behalf of tho prisoner, mainly contending (hut coiißtablo M'lntyro's uvidouco was contra dictory, and not in accordance with the post-'riiortoin oxaminntion. The jury after twentymiiuito&'absoucobrought in a verdict of " Uuilty."

The prisoner, having been nuked in the usual way if he bad any statement to mako, said, " Well, it i.s ruthor too Lite for me to speak now. I thought of speaking tliitt morning and all day, but there was little use. There i.s little use blaming anyone now. Nobody knew aboil my caso except myself, ami I wish I had insisted in b>ing allowed to oxainiuo (the witnesses mynelf. If 1 bad examined them, I am confident I would have thrown a dillerent light un die case. It is not that I fear death ; I fear it as little as to drink it cup of tea. On the evidence that has been giviug, no juryman could have given any other verdict: that is my opinion, But, as I nay, if 1 hud ex amined the witnesses, I would have shoiVli mutters in a difleroot light, boouuso no mail undeihtool the case as 1 do lil"Bc\f."

Hi.iHonor.Mi-Justice Barrythoh proceeded to deliver Judgment, and was frequently interrupted during its courtio by the prisoner in tho most unabashed manner, when tho judgo said : " It i.s not becoming that 1 xhould endeavour to aggravate the stiller ings with which your mind mu«t bo sincerely hgitatid."—The prisoner interjected : "No; I don't think that ; my mind is as easy a.s the mind of any mnu in this world, as I am prepared to show before God and man."— His donor replied': "It is blasphemous for you to say that. You appear to revel in the idea of having put men to death."—At another stage the prisoner interrupted Ills Honor, and said: "A day will come at a bigger Court than this, when we shall sou which is right and which is wrong. No matter how long a ruau lives he is bound (o come to judgment somewhere, aud as well here as anywhere. It will be different the next time there is a Kelly trial, for they are not all killed. It would have been U r the quod of tho Crown had I examined the witnesses, and I would have stopped a lo', of the leward, 1 can assure you, aud I duu't know but I won't do it yet if allowed."

Mr Justice Harry, iv the course of his remarks, observed that prisoner had ac knowledged to stealing 200 horses, ami had put tho country to an expenditure of £50,000. Lie said: "In now communities, where the bonds of societies arcs not so well ltuked together as iv older countries, there is, unfortunately, a class which disregards •he ovil consequonces of crime. Foolish, inconsiderate, ill-conducted, and unprin cipled youths unfortunately abound, and unless they are made lo consider the coi:so ([uences of crimp, they arc led to imitate notorious felons whom they regard as sclt made heroes. It is right, therefore, that they should bo asked to consider and retlect upon what the lifo of a felon is. A felon who bus cut himself off from all, aud who declines all tho nficctions, chari ties, and all the obligations of society, is tut, helpless aud as degraded us a wild beast of the Held ; he has nowhere to lay his head ; he had no one to procure for him the comforts of life; be suspectH his Mends, and he dreads his enemies, hie is in constant alarm lest his pursuers should reach him, and his only hope is that ho might lose his lite iv what lie considers a. glorious straggle for existence. That is tho life of an outlaw or felon, and it will be well for tlieso youug men who are so foolish an to consider that it is brave of a man to sacri fice the lives of his follow creatures in carrying out his own wild ideas, to see that it is a lifo to bo avoided by every possiblo me.me, :uid to rcllect that the unfortunate termination ot the felon's life is a miserable death."

THE MELBOURNE CUP.

The following account of tho Melbourne Cup race is given in the special telegram to the " fcSydneyjlMoruing Herald":—" The signal was given to a beautiful start, Elastic, Napper Tandy, Woodlands, and Chester comprising the first llight; but Lothair, working his way through the ruck, led liivertou aud Totalisator a longth from inn stand, and after them could bu seen Auckland, Progress, Lord Burghley, Rich moud, Chester, and Grand Flaneur, the others following in a great heap with Bos worth and Secundus. Lothair led Kiverton a length round the river turn,':and a length from the latter came Lord Burghly and Napper Tandy on terms a length in front of Progress and Chester, and tlieu succeeded Grand Flaneur, Woodlands, and Auckland

at the head of a closely packed ruck, the last of which were Bosworth, Darriwell, aud Secundus. liivertou headed Lothair at the bridge, and led him two or three lengths along the back of the coimo.

GRAND CONCERT AT LORNE STREET HALL.

THK " Oddfellows " not only made a night of it last'evening eventually getting ■well marched, but the rugalia and the time honoured traditional kickshaws of tuin most potent order went a long way towards rivet ing tho pairs. In the concert, which pre ceeded the ball, the glee "Chough and Crow ",would have been butter if some of the company had crowed a little louder. Mr Byan rendered "The Song of the Labourer " very carefully. The gentleman has greatly improved sinco last we heard him. Miss Hastings wag not all that could be desired in the song cntitied " Waiting ;" she however carried off tho palm on the Indies side without a doubt. "Eillecn nllannah'' suited her compass better aud though the house was getting very fidgetty evoked loud applause. Mr H. Claude Brook A. A., (Associate of Arts tang tho "Pilgrim of Love." The delivery of "Cleansing Fires" and " Maggie's Secret," by Mrs Wilcock, was asscz bieu. Mr Forder was sufficiently merry in his comic song, " The Blackwall Dock." la the glos, " Hark Apollo," the time was very catchy, and one of the tenors was drowning the others, This, however, was not the case in the song and chorus, "Lotus speak well of our brother." Mr Minchcr wou a well-merited oucore in the favourite aria, " 'Twas rank and fame that tempted thec." The duet, " Love and War," was next given by Messrs Ryap and King, and Mr Abernothy sang, " 'Tis thy dear voice." Mr Forder was again to the front in his song entitled " Our Jack's come home to-day," one of the beat of the series ; whilst the "Liquid Gem," sweetly sung by Miss Carlylc, though lacking in. verve con caliche spirito, had a loud response. Mr Eagleton sang the comic song, "Thedry land sailor," with effect aud amid a furore of mirth ; and finally, Messrs Ryan and Thome may bo heartily thanked for the superior manner in which the entire arrange ments were carried out, these gentlemen having worked most assiduously to make both concert and ball a signal success. The refreshments provided were of tho most recherche1 kind, the buffet having the presi dency of courteous and obliging members of tho order. The ball was vigorously kept rolling until the wee sma' hours of the morning.

THE TRAVELLER'S LAMENT.

(To the Editor.)

"Auckland cab charges arc the most ox pensive in all the colonies." Sir,—Why should all who visit, Auckland make the complaint I quote above ? yet it is so. Is horse feed very dear here ? Your correspondent " Cab Driver No. 100," does not sufficiently explain what he wants. What has compulsory education (in that direct cost of taxation) or police supervision over stray horses and cows to do with the cab by-laws? It your City Council can remove the stigma upon the present charges or uysteni, they will confer a public benefit. If you refer to other places, you will lind your burthens, heavy as they may be, arc no more, if so much, than other places, cab charges probably execptcd.—Youra, &c, Travbllbr.

AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

THIS DAY.

THE attendance is immense, upwards of three thousand people arc already on the ground. The trains are arriving.crowded to excess. Impoy's band is discoursing sweet music opposite the maia building.

GENERALREMARKS ON THE SHOW.

The first day of the Show was in many respects a success, but not altogether. There was too much time lost in connec tion with the judging of stock. Visitors who paid 5s to see the prize animals left by tlie 5 o'clock train, without having had the opportunity of completely gratifying their curiosity. There seemed also a want of system in the forwarding of the lists of awards from the various judges to the Secre tary's ollice as the judging proceeded. Last year this was done methodically, and us fust as award 3 were- made they were entered in the Secretary's book. It is not because there are two days' exhibiting that the first day's time sbould be frittered away as it was yesterday: Arrran<*ement"i should ho made by which the bulk of tho prize awards could be allixed by two or throo o'clock, thus enabling 5a visitors to net some return for their money. A great improvement visible on last year's arrangements was in the catering, which it in but fair to say was greatly to tbe.ofedit of Mr Vivian, who spared no expense to give satisfaction to his guests. It is extremely gratifying to learn that the judges in all the classes have given un usual great satisfaction. Eveu these who gained no prize have expressed their com mendation. Considerable sensation was caused by the discovery of artificial colour on the back of Bertie Savcrna, and Mr A. E. Isaacs lodged a protest against Mr Hurst's pig receiving tho prize. On rubbing the pig's back, with a pocket handkerchief, a considerable amount of colouring matter came off. The judge, stewards, and the general public assem bled round the pig. Mr Hurst was asked ;f colouring had been used, and he said that a little lamp black and oil had been used just to make the hair glossy—but that no white spots had been, or could bo, concealed thereby. The merits of the case were widely discussed, and there is no doubt that the pig excited more attention during yesterday afternoon than did ithe champion horse Musket. The employment of any artilicial moans to improve the ap pearance ot exhibits was universally con demned. The result was, that though the judges did not unanimously approve of disqualifying Bertie Savcrna, the stewards were of a different opinion, and he was disqualified accordingly. To-day Mr Hurst sent the following com munication to tho oilicers connected with the swiue department :• - "To the Stcwaida and Judges of Swine Class at tho Agricultural and Pastoral Show : Gentlemen,—lnsinuations having been made that colouring matter has been uso'l in tho dressing of my pigs, for the purpose of influencing your decisions in rsspect to them, I have the honour to state that I have given directions, with your per mission, to have tho pigs washed; and I would feel gratefal if you would kindly review your decisions, aad altor all or any of them should the circumstances appear to warrant you. Permit me to asaure you that I very much repret that any dressing was used by my men, but certainly not with any intention of deception, as no one more than myf>olf would lament obtaining prizes that the merits of the animals them selves did not honestly entitle them to.— Your obedient servant, W. J. Hubst." The Committee considered the letter to day and decided that no alteration would be made in the disqualification. Yesterday we gave a general review of the live stock clauses. After we went to press most of the awards were made. Mr James Wallace carried off the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company's Cup for the second year in succession. His sheep were largo framed auimals with magnificent fleeces. Their high condition was the result of grazing them on Mr W. Aijken's estate at Karaka, known as Kichmond Park, where the pasture surpasses most seen in our best districts. Mr Dunwoode also exhibited a steam engine intended for a lauuch, gaining several well deserved first prizes for his manufactured implements. Messrs Wallace and Hotharu are well known as successful exhibitors and manufacturers. Mr C. T. Wren was a successful exhibitor of garden appliances. This department on the whole was very good. Poultry made a pretty exhibition. Mr J. Grey contributed some of the finest specimens. His coloured dorkings and golden spangled Polish were beautiful birds, as, indeed, were his black Spanish. The black-breasted game bantams (Bartlev and Grey) were much admired —first prize birds. Messrs S. Morrin and A. B, Isaacs are well known as exhibitors of high[classcß of poultry. Mr J. Abbot:s bantams had been tampered with; cslour having been applied to defective parts. This sort of thing should be put a stop to—it is unfair to judges; it is unfair to exhibitors. It should be punishable—such exhibits should be confiscated to the Society. In implements there was—thanks to Messrs T. and S. Morrin—-a most excellent show. This firm had engines going at full steam ; machines revolving, and with their numerous collection added greatly to the interest of the entire show.

LOCAL MANUFACTURES,

Mr James Wiseman's collection of saddlery eclipses all former exhibitions of this character, and does him infinite credit as a manufacturer. The ladies' and gentle men's saddleß showed really excellent work manship, equal in fact to the be3t good 3 imported. The same remarks apply to his harness of various kinds, which stands the test of the most severe criticism. He ex hibited in a number of different classes, and made altogether a most creditable display, winning a lot of first-class prizes. Mr Bayno, of Newton, exhibited an esoritoiri, Chich was a marvel of good workmanship, shewing to advantage the beautiful charac ter of our JS c w Zealand woods; it was much admired. Messrs Ireland Brothers' splen? did tannery establishment was well repre sented by an excellent exhibition of various kinds of leather. ; McGiil's twine was considered by judges to be a most superior article, and very credit able to the maker. The show of basketware by Mr Cole and Mr Rafton was very extensive, occupying a great amount of space; the former won first prize. During the testing of the ales and porters near the southern end of the building quite acrowd of spectators with flattened noses (against the panes) and wistful eyes, , watched long and longingly as Mr Marks and his brother judge displayed their attainments in testing the merits of the liquor. Mr Duttou, the cork manufacturer, received a well descrvsd prizo for his inter esting exhibits. The exhibition of soap by the young manufacturers, Messrs Saunders aud Gil bert, pushed the older Paruell factory close for the first prizo for soap, the quality being as good, but the appearance not equal. There aro other exhibits wo may allude to hereafter.

We continue our notice of tho Agricultural and Pastoral Association's Snow, giving the prize list complete : —
