Asked her if she could give me any information ns to where I could find the Kelly gang. I said tt was a pity thoy Bhould be at largo—that they had killed intimate frionds of mino, naming the three police who had been shot. I said, " You can have tho money, nud I would have the credit of capturing them;" she said she had no knowledge whatever of where they were, nnd that it was not likely they would come up to her place, but if she wolud find out anything aa to their where abouts she would let me know; she said that Hettie, sister of Steve Hart, waa stopping at her place, an_ she would try to find out from her where they were, as;Keliy had killed her brother and done away with him; she stated also that Kate Kelly and Mra Skillian would not speak to her.

Jitnics Reardon deposed that he was a railway line repairer, and knew prisoner; some time after the shootiog of the police witness said to prisoner, "It was a great pity tho Kellys ihot the police ; she said, " It; was but if they did n?»t shoot the police the police would shoot them; I asked her if she would take the reward; she said she would not take any blood money ; she said there were a lot of police after the Kelly's, and she gained very well by them. Witness described the arrival of the Kellys at Glenrowan. Mrs Jones said to Ned Kelly, " Come on, old man, and have some breakfast and a wash, it will do you good;" one of ihe gang said, "There Is no room in your house," and sho said there was plenty of room ; she then said, " Come on and have a drink," and they all then went up to the house ; Dan Kelly ordered breakfast, and said he would pay for it; they remained there until ten or eleven o'clock the next morning (Monday) ; during the night Ned Kelly asked my wife if she would not like to go home, and she said she would; Mrs Jones said no one should leave the house until Ned Kelly gave them a lecture ; Mra Jones locked one of the doors; she might have locked the other; she gave one key to Dan Kelly and kept the ether her self; Edward Kelly was at the back, and came and cautioned me not to leave my bed without permission; when the police came and fired, and when the boy was shot, Mra Jones said to the bushrangers, "You cowards, why don't you go out and fight them hand to band ?"

Margaret Reardon deposed: Was taken ptisoner by Ned Iv6liy on the Sunday morning, and taken, in the first place, to Mr Stanistreet's and then to Mrs Jones's hotel; about 3or 4 o'clock in the afternoon Dan Kelly asked me if 1 would like to go home; I Bald certainly; Mrs Jones came in as we were preparing to go home; sho said no one was to leave the house till Ned Kelly gave them a lecture, and that every one had better mind their own business; the doors were locked long before that; we were then not allowed to go out, and we were frightened ; it was Mrs Jones who pre vented our going ; Ned Kelly gave one of my children leave to go home for eorae bread ; Kelly said that Mrs Jones would give them all something to eat; Mrs Jones said to Ned Kelly and Byrne, " I have plenty of bread, but I am keeping it for you, as I wouid not give a bite to half of them inside, as they treated me like a black-fellow;" I remained in the house till the police came. John Delany, a labourer, and one of the Kelly prisoners, said : Prisoner was there, and said, " Old chaps, I've got you ; I have a large company here to-day;" I asked her to let me and my brother home, as she seemed to be a bit of a boss; she said, " No, teveugo is sweet j I would give 5s a head for some more of the Greta j" I board Dan Keily ask Mrs Reardon, about 10 o'clock on Sunday night, if she would like to go home, and she said, "Yes, and I would like the others to come too ;" Dan Kelly then said, " You all can go," and then moved towards the others ; Mrs Jones put her hands across the door and said, "Go back, and Ned Kelly will give us a lecture ;" Mrs Jones nvide her son Bins " The Wild Colonial Boy."

"This is all Fitzpatrick's work."

The Bench committed the prisoner for trial at the next assizes to be held in Beechworth, and fixed (the bail at two sureties of £50, or one in £100, and the defendant's own in £100,

SINGING ADAPTED TO SCHOOL USE.

VOCAL music as a means of national pro gressive education is by no means an unimportant element in modern culture. One of the chief characteristics of public worship is the extent in which the con gregation unite a_ if in one voice to give utterance to the soul-stirring strains of sacred music wedded to scriptural language. It is still a more important fact that the degrading vice of intemperance, so common amongst the poorer classes of England and Germany, has diminished in a remarkable manner since the art of singing has been introduced into tho schools of both couutries. In the Sunday schools of groat towns the children are taught to sing in an imperfect manner certain of those psalm and hymn tunes used in divine Service. These tunes are only learnt by imitation from persons of little or no musical skill, and are generally sung incorrectly, and without taste. Thus the children acquire no power of self-instruction, and little orno desire to know more. This system •night be readily rectified by adopting lone of easy gradations beginning with the details and progressing by degrees to those more difficult, and taught by persons well suited tor that purpose, who woald have no difficulty in communicating this general system to any ordinary elementary school. It has been said, with truth, that good national music is an indication of many natioual virtues, and implies the prevalence of refined taste and exalted feeling with which peraons of low or depraved habits, can have nothing in common, exercising as it does a most powerful in fluence on the heart. So much having been siid for the moral influence of national music let us add that as an auxiliary to do mestic virtue and happiness it is an estim able blessing; soothing the hardest laoour, enliveniug recreation, and investing the poorest homes with the light of poetry and the charm of recollection. Tho love of country—which is in itself a concentration of all domestic charities—appears to be the passion that te most strongly moved by ineaua of national music. A few notes breathed on a simple reed, or sung from some rugged voice, will oftentimes have more effect on men than the most elaborate description, or the niosl. vivid nietures re

calling past 'scenes and cherished friends, the struggles that arc past, and the hopes that are left us, and sweetly compensating all the labour that has been beßtowed on the acquirement of this Divine art.

AFFAIRS IN AFGANISTAN.

The news from this quarter is not bo as suring as could be wished, ar there are fears that Ayub Khan may again prove troublesome. That worthy is now at Hciat. lustead of being refused admission to that city, aud conipeiled to take refuge iv Persia, his old subjects have welcomed him hct.3, and Southern Afghanistan is in a stat«-of nervous expectation that he may return again. This feeling appears to have taken such deep root that many of the pople around Kandahar have refraiued from sowiug their laud, and weare told the Sirdars iv Zemindawar have forbidden the despatch of supplies to the southern capital. Then, again, it is thought that Ayub's nomination of His him Khan ns Governor of Farrali and of Mohammed Husaum as Governor of Subzawar bodes no good to either the British or to Abdul Rahman, The last-named Sirdar was once Governor of Jellalubad, and lio leader ever displayed bo much inveterate aniniosity as he towards the invader. Hashitn \ H han is a disappointed man. When General ltoberts was in Kabul, considering which of the Afghan Princes might be deemed a suitable can didate for the throne, Hashim was a prominent aspirant for that positioil, Im mediately all prospect of his selection vanished he disappeared from the capital, and openly ranged himself against us. Ho is now safely out of arm's length of tho small force that has boon left at Kandahar; lie possesees great wealth, and from Farrali he will be ablo to intiigue not only in Kan dahar, but among the chrouic malcontents at Ghuzni, and probably likewise at Kabul. It is, therefore, thought that beyond the Hclmund there are elements of great danger to the future peaco of Afghanistan. The snake which General Roberts caut-ht at Alazra has only been scotched, not killed. It ia contended that, though tho English forces won a great victory, it did not wipe out the memory of Ayub's brilliant success tit Kushk-i-Nakhud. Even the Wali is said to have lost confidence, and it is doubted whether under any pressure ho would resume his functions.

HOW ELECTIONS ARE CONDUCTED IN ENGLAND.

Judging from the extraordinary dis closures made in the official inquiries iuto elections of Oxford, Sandwich, Kuarcs borough, Boston, Canterbury, Chester, aud Gloucester, it is quite evident that neither the Ballot Act nor the statutes passed with the view of checking Parliamentary corruption have had any sensible effect in correcting the evils against which they wero directed. Noie somo of the evidence given in tbe Sandwich inquiry for instance. One witness haa stated that he does not believe there is an honest elector in Deal, nnd certainly from evidence given by the witneases already ex amined, and the fact that there are marly four hundred more who have received money for bribery, he would uot appear to be very far from the truth. Nearly, if not all, the publicans seem to have been "squared." • Mr W. K. Miuter, of the Drum, at Walmer, said he had received £129 for voters, and had paid £21 to Sandwich boys for carrying boards. Edward Rea said he had paid £81 to 27 voters. W. H. Hayman paid £3 each to 29 voters. Henry Marsh had paid £160 to 41 voters. J. Chittenden, carpenter, had paid £15 to voters, and had spent £12 on expenses iv treating himself and others. ;(Laughter.) Valentino Myhill, a Cinque Port Trinity pilot, received £15, which he paid to voter/*. He was asked to bo one of the com mittee of the regatta. It did not come off, through bad weather. The committee got £22 from Mr Hughes. They still held that i'money "in trust." (Laughter.) MrJenne: ' Well, mind you take care of the money you hold "in trust." (Laughter.) William Budhcll, clerk of the works to Mr Homony, of Walmer, had received £96, which he dis tributed among 32 voters. T. H. Finnis, landlord of the Fox Inn, Deal, had received £43 from Mr Cornwall, and had paid £3 each to 10 voters for their votes. H6 spent £5 in treating; £11 he had detained : and iif ho was paid for his trouble he would give it up, if not he would stick to it. (Laughtor.) Thirty shilliugs a day would scarcely pay him for his trouble. Mr Jeune: Ido not like to say I hope you may get it, because that might appear ironical. (Laughter.) Tbe President: You valuo your services at £600 a year. (Laughter.) [Witness: And very little too. (Laughter.) The President: Did you ever make that income ? Witness : No; but I should like to. (Laughter.) Mr Benjamin Wood, a farmer, of Middle Deal, said that he had received £80 from Mr Olds—that be spent in direct bribery, .Laughter.) He divided the money among twenty-seven votera. Mr James Wise had received £45 for voters from Mr Olds. Mr Turner: What are you? Witness: Well, I live retired. Mr Turner: What were you? Witnesß : Well, I can scarcely tell you what I have been ia my lifetime. (Laughter.) I have been a fly proprietor, a carrier, a bathing-machine proprietor, and lots of other things. (Laughter.) W. B. Mackey, a pilot, said that he had received £42 from Mr Olds, which ho had given to voters for their votes. When the petition was on they wanted to servo him, but he went to sea to get out of it. (Laughter.) Mr Jeune: You were "all in the Downs," also, I suppose? (Laughter.) Witness : That's it. (Laugh ter.) G. Redmond, the landlord of the True Briton, and a voter of Deal, was paid for watching poles. They were in front of his houae, and bo just looked at them a little bit. (Laughter). The President: You saw them in the : evening, and again when you got up in the morniug?" (Laughter.) Witness: Just so, sir. (Laughter.) J. Phelps had distri- I buted £38 among voters. One had taken money on both sides. Mr Jenne : I see that he is described ns "a sweep." (Laughter.) J. B. Milliu, a pilot, expended £30 in bribery. He gave one voter £10 be cause he could not get him under. (Laugh ter.) Prices rose as the election drew to a close. (Laughter.) A large amount of similar testimony was given, showing whole sale corruption.

PROPOSED NEW BUILDINGS, VIC TORIA-STREET.

Osr iho south side of Victoria-Btreet, be tween Albertrptreet and Hobson-street, there is a long line of wooden buildings standing on land the property of Admiral

* eymour and Lady Hobson. The land at prese.it ia held under levies, all of which will shortly tall through. It is proposed that a renewal of leases ior long terms shall be offered on condition that a particular class of buildings shall be erected in place of the present wooden structures. Mr Mahoney was entrusted with the task of preparing designs for the proposed buildings, and has already produced plans, which we have been courteously permitted to inspect. They provide for the erection of a very imposing row of buildings, which would be an ornament to the street, and would doubtless stimulate a desire for improvement in the architecture of the thoroughfare. The style is Italian, and combines uni formity with beauty of exterior. On the ground floor it is proposed to erect a row of shops divided by rusticated piers, with verandahs. Each tenement is lighted in front with three circular-headed windows, with fornaraontal pilasters, handsome cornices, and an en tablature, the whole surmounted by a parapet with circular centre-panels for business Inscriptions. At the corner of Hobson-street and Victoria-street there will be a grand hotel.

The Princess Beatrice is so marked in her attentions to the ex-Empress of France, as to strengthen the popular belief that she was intended for her daughter-in-law. The Princess was the first to meet the imperial lady, on her return from Africa, going aboard the ship.

" Supporting corsets," said Chowder, reading an advertisement. " I wonder if that was what that young fellow was doing when I saw him holding up my daughter Matilda Jane by the waist as I went home last night ?"

it 13 a long while since tne puoiic of Auck land have had a bankrupt stock offered them but the disappearance of J. B. Robinson and the Feizure of hia stock by the creditors has thrown tha stock of tbe Auokland Clothing Company on the market. The trade were invited to tender for it, and Messrs Garlick and Cranweil pur chased it at _ large discount off the original cost. They have removed it to their City Hail Arcde premises, and as their warehouse is hardly large enough for their ordinary trade, they will Bell this bankrupt stock at a small advance on what they purchased it for, to effect an immediate clearance. They having paid cash down for it, are naturally anxious to recoup the extra capital thus involved with aU despatch, and offer it at far less than its value to effect a speedy clearance. Ladles and gentlemen are invited to shop early in the..flay,,M the assistants are bo fully occupied attending to customers in tbe afternoon. The goods are all removed to the City Hall Arcade, -and-are being sold by Garlick and Cranweil, Drapery Clothiers and House Furnishers, Quoen-street

POLICE COURT.-This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., P.M.)

PHYSICAL PROSTIUTIO ..

Ellen Hendry was found by Sergeant Fleming last night in High-street quite drunk aud uuablo to proceed homeward.

She pleaded guilty, and regretted the loss of her hat. Fined 5s and costs.

WIFE DESERTION.

Charles Anthony (on warrant) was charged with unlawfully leaving his wife nnd family at Lyttelton on the 2nd inst.

Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Pardy said from what he had learned he did not think prisoner intended to desert his wife. He had written to hia wifo, but had received no reply.

Prisoucr said he left £5 with his wifo on leaving Lyttelton, and as he had not heard from her and did not know her address, he was prevented from making remittances to her. He was prepared to send £3 10 to her. He was in search of employment.

Hia Worship allowed the man to be dis charged on handing in the money to the police to forward it to the proper quarter. A BEAL CASE. Charles Mack, was again brought up on a charge of leaving his wife and four children in Auckland, without means of support. Prisoner pleaded not guilty.

Ellen Mack wife of prisoner, deposed that she lived in West-streot, Newton, and was the mother of five children, four under ten. Her husband went away some weeks ago, and all that she had received was £3, and she had to pay rent out of that 9 wceka rent. On one occasion he called and left 6d. Her eldest son was ill and unable to continue his work at the Ponaonby rope works. Prisoner returned a fortnight ago, and had been drinking ever since. She had to keep herself and five children. Cross-examined by prisoner : You were in the habit of comiug home at two in the morning, and frequently acted liko a madman. You brought home a few groceries on one occasion, but they were given to you by tho store keeper. You told me to call on John Hare who owed you money, but he denied that he had received £10 to allow mo weekly sums for the support of the family. Mr Pardy, in answer to tho Court, said he know nothing of the case. Prisoner wished John Hare to be called, but his friend, Thomas Scott, said Hare was sick in bed.

In a quarter of an hour, however, Mr Hare put in au appcaranco and was ex amined. He stated that ho received a telegram from Mack wishing him to pay 30s a week to Mrs Mack. He refused to give her the lump sum—£lo. If she had called regularly sho would have had tho 30s every week. Mrs Mack denied this statement. Mr Pardy : What did you do with tho balance of the £10.

Witness : I gave it to Mack. Mr Pardy : Then you kept this balance knowing that this poor woman and her family were in want. Witness : No fear.

His Worship: That is not the way to speak. Mr Pardy : Mr Hare has beon drinking this morning. To Mrs Mack : You did not call; it is a deliberate falsehood.

His Worship said the charge had not beeu sustained, and he could not make an order. He hoped, however, that Mr Mack would make "some arrangements for the support of his wife and family. Mr Mack said he would act according to his Worship's advice. This was all the business,

MESSRS HUNTER AND NOLAN'S WOOL SALE.

The socond wool Bale of tho season at the Bhed of Messrs Hunter and Nolan was held thia afternoon, but tho aotual sale according to catalogue did not commence until nearly 3 o'clook, co that we are unable to give a fall report in the present ieaue. The sale oonaisted of about 60 bugs ot washed and in greaae, rang ing in prioe from «Jd to 9}d. The sail of long wool, and in grease, consisted of 75 lots, and 166 bales, groase averaging from Ud to Old. The washed was boing sold aa we went to preßP. Tho buyers wore Messrs Keid, Potter, Suther land, Osborne, Warnook, and others.

Grant and Foster's Settlement.—A copy of the order in Council re the the sale of the To Aroha block to Messrs Grant and Foster was recicved. A telegraphic reply from the Hon. W. Rolleston to Messrs Grant and Foster's request for timber reserve, etc , was also read. It stated that the opinion of the Government was that present arrange ments with the Lincolnshire delegates should stand as they are, and that the pro posal to deal with the Manawaru reserve should remain in abeyance until the arrival of the settlers, when the question of school sites, timber reserves, etc., will be dealt with. In the meantime, the Government would not in any way deal with the reserve, and the matter of the bridges site would not be prejudiced. MOKAU.—Messrs Dignan and Arm strong applied, on behalf of Andrew Kelly, tor a lease of a block of 50,000 acres at Mokau for £25. The Chairmain explained that although the land at Mokau had become public property more than 25 years ago, nothing had been done with it in consequence of the oppo sition always shewn by the natives. In this case it was agreed to defer auy action until the Native Department had been communicated with.— lb. remainder of the business consht d j principally of applications for land.

Aplitt has challenged Watson to run 100 yards for £300 aside, giving or taking ex penses, if the race is run in Sydney or Forbes The challenge is open to any man in Australia on the same conditions.

Correspondence.

"SUPPLIED TO WARSHIPS."

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—I think the letter of "Mercator," on supplies to German warships not only un just and uncalled for, but an assumption based on very slender ground. The Wellington papers have thoupht proper to puff their port at the expense of the Auck' land merchants, by no means an unusual practica; but aa a matter-of-fact, the Nautilus, after a long stay in Melbourne and Sydney, was only in Wellington some few days, and it is hardly likely after leaving those ports she would require many stores. The officers were entertained by the citizens, and in reply made, as is usual with our German and French friends, some very complimentary remarks, which have boen converted into statements about the particular cheapness of supplies in Wel lington. As a matter of fact German officers who hayo visited Auckland for many years past have always expressed themselves in a similar strain, and as per fectly satisfied, and even surprised, at the cheapness of stores, particularly wines, ihd not least water, which is about one-third the price charged in Wellington. I think the endeavour to reilect on tho German metcbants, and to foul our own port, exces sive bad taste on the part of your correspon dent. All interested cannot have avoided observing their hospitality so liberally ovinced towatds their country men upbh all occasions. The remarks made by " Mercator" could only emanate from trade envy. It would bo quito time enough tor such statements when thoso who have visited this port expressed themselves in tlie terms Which your correspondent seeks to infer or to twist tho " after dinner" ut terances at the Wellington reception. Aa a rule, tho purchases made by German warships have not been from their own countrymen, "Mercator" must open his purse-stringß to tho extent of paying a boat man to obtain orders or sharo of iho war ship's business • and must uot seek to throw dirt on those who do bo, whatovor may be their nationality,—Yours, &c, Fair Play.

THE BAND IN ALBERT PARK.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—lv theso dull times when littlo or no amusement ia obtainable, I think wo should be very grateful to tho Engineer Baud for voluntarily playing last evening in tho Albert Park reserve I trust they will con tinue to do bo during tho summer evenings two or thrco times weekly, and that au early opportunity will be taken by tho public to mark their appreciation in a substantial manner. Ere long, it is to be hoped wo shall also havo a covered pavilion for them; alao, seats, trees, aud shruba, etc , planted, and the wholo reserve open to tho public. Tho City Council, who hove now tho munnge ment, should not consent to any further delay in tho removal of that old and ugly wood barracks, which prevents the. com pletion of laying out, planting, nnd fencing this pleasant rcsorvo, and will continue to do so for years unless an effort ia mado to complete the objcctforwhlohit was obtained. It is stated the Council have tho money to complete the work, nnd let us trust we shall have it at once finished in a manner worthy of our city.—Yours, " Carpe Diem."

EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As tho Star ia pre-eminently the representative of the working man, and ever ready to raise its voice iv tho cause of humanity and justice, I need not apologise for trespassing on your space, while I appeal to the working men of Auckland, through you, to urge on our Representa tives the necessity of introducing to the House of Assembly an "Employers' Lia bility Act." Let a man bring undue in fluence to boar on his horao by goading him to perform a task incommensurate with hia strength, and a hundred voices would acclaim, " shame," and " cruelty," and the owner of that horse having committed a penal action would bo held answornblcj to law. Our Bishop raised his voice a short timo since on behalf of the dumb creation, ia a manner well worthy of that good man ; and tl a[si remarkable fact|that those countries most assiduously protect their domestic animals are tho most prosperous and the highest in the scale of nations. But while Bociety protects the lower creation from the repaoity of man, it is our first duty to Bee that wo arc duly protected from each other, for in too many instaucos are Burn's words realized, that "man's inhumanity to man make countless thousands mourn." There aro a number of boys and youths employed in our city about machinery, and with what results the ghastly records of the Hospital too plainly testify. I submit that until employers are taught that their work men, are something, more than mere automata or machines, and that each of their lives and limbs, when inordinately sacrificed, representso many pounds sterling, so long will tho present carelessness prevail, and with similar results. Let them ouce realise tho grand fact that such occurrences disturb the financial equanimity of their bank books, and such accidents will bo fow and far between. Although no pecuniary consideration would adequately repay a loving mother for the maiming of her offspring, ithere is some thing truly touching in tho attendant cir cumstances of the poor boy Smyth, at present in the hospital, haviug lost hia right arm by a late acccident, and an in herant nobility of character displayed, beau tiful to contemplate, in one so young. It was in consequence of the prolonged illness of bis father that stimulated the poor lad to earn his own livelihood, although such a thingwas ncvormooted to himby his parents, nor was thero any immediate necessity for hia doing so. After absenting himself for an unusually long time from homo ono day, his mother asked him on his return where he had beou, aud his reply was, " I have been looking for a job, and have got one." But, sir, coming evonts do not always cast their shadows before, and it would have beon better for this twelve-year old hero had he been unsuccessful. It is impossible for us to compute what our coun tiy) has lost by these accidents, for such characters as this, «*hen doveloped, build an empire,—Yours, &c, - G.Y.B.
