An Aucklander at the Melbourne Exhibition.

[WRITTEN FOR THK " STAB."]

Melbourne, Oct. 2. As an old Aucklander I could not help being disappointed at the paucity of exhibits you have sent to the Exhibition now being held here. Yesterday, the opening day, I attended at the cantata chorus; having sang at the Sydney opening I thought 1 should like to sing in this, being present in Melbourne. After the opening ceremony my footsteps naturally tended towards the New Zealand Court. Here the most has been mado of what exhibits there are, but the show is not nearly as good as in Sydney; and, though. I considered Auckland very poorly represented there, here it is much worse. The only exhibits that attracted my attention in a walk through tbe Court were Very well-finishedsamplesofbrushware from Mr J. Harbutt, a small neat showcase of Kitchen's blood-restorer, some fine speci mens of photography from. J. Bartlett. I think he might have got a few more sub jects,- when he would not have required to send the. same young .lady in so many styles. I missed Hemns.and Hanna's hand fiomo show -case. A very nice collection of ferns in mottled-kauri cases from -Eiic Craig are worthy of note. By croft's biscuits are also well shown. I Considering the num ber of other industries that might have been represented, it is a pity that Auckland did', not make a better show, as Colonials by whom this Court,-as the Sydney one was, will be mostly visited, to inspect Colonial Courts "before comparing'therh wiffi the' European and American Courts, will scarcely see the name of Auckland; and so far as it is concerned the Exhibition might I have been a month's voyage instead of a few days' trip. I hope that there are exhibits yet to open which I may yet send you word of. While I have the pen in my hand I must write of the satisfactory way the mu9ic went off. There were 800 of a chorus and a band of 100. Sopranos were dressed in white with light blue sashes and .caps, trimmed with the same colour; contraltos/ white with cardinal (white muslin was pro hibited) ; gentlemen in .morning coats tenor, blue rosettes; bass, cardinal. The singers, with the organ (larger than the Town Hall ope) behind, the band in front, flanked on either side by harps and grand pianos, and M. Cnron. in the-centre, bis stand wreathed with flowers, formed a find sight for those in the body of the building. At the conclusion of the cantata, when. M. Caron was conducted to the Governor, the spontaneous waving pf handkerchiefs by the 500 lad iea of the chorus and the clapping of the gentleman must have made it a very, proud moment of his life. He well deserved this success, as he has been untiring in his exertions to make it one, - • ••..■ .. OM An old Aucklandbb.

Mr Armstrong and Mr Blfcydes, for the defendant. ~ Mi'ji'm The cross-examination by.jyfr Tole oc cupied nearly tbe remainder of the day, and elicited the following facts : First, -that lip to the 26th July, Bindon had sold beer under -McCorinick's license. He got his license on the 28th July, but hud sent out beer iv prospect on the 27th:1 It was agreed that Bindon should sell for same time under McCprmick's licenseafter which the license slioultUbe renewed in Biodon's name.—His Honor said this looked like an arrangement to carry on an illegal business, and finally His Honor adjourned the further hearing of the case until this (Tuesday) morning, seeing no less than ten witnesses waiting to be examined, at the same time remarking that the costs would be very heavy. He would also ask the learned counsel whether it was possible to recover on such an agreement which, seemed to be founded in fraud, as it appeared in evidence. The agreement was made on the understanding that Bip.don was to sell under McCormidk's license until its expiration, thus defrauding the Customs. Jf Mr Tole thought there was no chance of recovering, he might lessen his client's expenses by not bringing the witnesses to Court again, i The Court rose at 5 o clock.

August 27.]

j Mr Birley brought under the notice 01 tho House of Commons, on August 19, th e arrest and trial of Lieutenant E. C. Chippen. dall on a charge of murder, and the conduct of Sir Arthur Gordon in reference thereto. Ho asked whether the Secretary of State Would undertake that a strict investigation bf tho affair should be promptly made. Mr Grant Dull' promised that steps should be taken to inquire into tho case. The Go vernment had not yet received any informa tion in regard to it which enabled thorn to form any opinion. The friends of Colonel John Constant) M'Noill, C.8., in New Zealand.will be glad to hear of his promotion to the honour of knighthood, j The gallant Colonel, it will bo remembered, accompanied Prince Leopold to Canada, and it was on his return that Her Majesty was pleased to bestow upon him this mark of her appreciation of his services. Sir John is a particular friend of Sir Garnet Wolseloy's, having served with him both in tho Red River Expedition and in Ashantee. He is an equerry to Her Majesty, and has obtained the Victoria Cross. ■

The Popo has read a secret Allocution to the Cardinals. He hoped to have been ablo to say something as to the treaties with Germany, but be was grieved to say that tuere was no prospeot of any reoßopnble solution at present. He spoke lengthily ot the situation of France, where he hoped existing evils might be partially arrested. He found it necessary to speak openly and firmly with regard to Belgian affairs. Hence the public Allocution was devoted almost entirely to that subject. Tho Paris "Temps" says :—"The language used ap. pears to justify the resolution taken by tho Belgian Ministry. Leo XIII. acknow ledges that he has never ceased to approve tho conduct of the Belgian bishops, which, ha everyone knows, amounted to actual ;o bellicm against the law of their country." The Pope has been week and depressed. The Italians are agitating for universal suffrage. Heavy storms have visited some of the provinces in France. The fine weather of August has made up for the rains of July, and the harvest is now expected to be better than was anticipated. The Harvest prospects in America ara very favourable. It is computed that the United States will have something like 200,000,000 bushels of wheat to dispose of. Tho price of wheat has a downward tendency. Last week the average price was 433 Oil per quarter, or 7s lOd a quarter lower than during the corresponding weeks for the four preceding years. It seems there is no truth in the report that the lady who recently took refuge in the British Embassy had since been strangled as an accomplice in a palace con spiracy. It appears she was never an in mate of the Sultan's harem, and that an English lady who had called at her residence touud her happy and about to bo married. Twenty-one persons charged with forming an illegal society to overthrow the State in Russia have been sentenced at Kieff— two to be hanged, three to twenty years" penal servitude, and the remainder to various terms of hard labour.

It is to be hoped that Blaekham will havo quite recovered from the blow he received a few days ago, and that Spofforth's injured hand will be sufficiently well to allow him fto play. Colonists will obseive amongst the list the name of Lord Hani?, the captain of tbo team concerning whose treatment iwhen in Australia bo much controversial capital has been" made by the enemies of the colonial eleveu. The noble resuscitator of Kent cricket has long expressed a desire to bury the hatchet, and the signification of ibis intention to play will be approved by all. right-thinking admirere of the first of 'British games. Ulyett has declined to play, :but his services arenotabsolutely indispens able", much as he may think to the contrary. On August 25 Alderman Tathain, Mayor of; 'Leeds, received the Australian Eleven as bis quests at dinner in his official room at the Town Hall. A number of leading members of local clubs were also present. Mr Mur doch, captain of the Australian Eleven, replying to some complimentary remarks from the' chiiir, said he could say that they never went iv for a regular course ot train ing. They kept very steady, went to bed early, never indulged in heavy dinners, _ and took very little cbampagnei Those things/ he thought, contained the secret of their success. Alluding to the treatment of the English Eleven in Australia, he said that .such a disturbance might occur on any cricket ground in this country where the lower classes .of the people were admitted; and if one of the Austra lians had been- struck when they were playing in the town, a few weeks ago, it would not have been fair to lay the blame ■of such an outrage upon the whole crickotine public in England. It was just that in such circumstances he and his colleagues had been blamed for what occurred in Australia. * There was not_a single cricketer to blame in the whole affair. l| A great robbery has been committed at !the residence of General Schramm, at Courneuve, near St. Denis The general is 91 years of age, and the thieves entered his room and stole valuables worth 600,000 francs (£24,000) without awakening him. An instance of two men killing one another with the came.knife occurred a day or two back in a village "ear Cologne. In an inn at Theinove two workmen over their beer came to angry words. In the quarrel 'that ensued one of them stabbed tbe other twice iv the lower part of the body. The latter, snatching tbe knife from his opponent, drew it across bis throat. Within a few ' minutes both were dead. , General Skobeloft has telegraphed to a St. Petersburg paper, contradicting the rumour of his'having been taken prisoner, and stating that with a handful of brave men he has been bombarding the walls of Geok I Tepe.

THE MURDER OF MADAME SCOBE LOFF.

, Two of the Montenegrins, accomplices in; tho assassination of Madame Scobeloff, have confessed^ The particulars of the , crime were arranged in all their details some days pteV;iotlsly by TJzatia, who insisted on. the whole party being murdered, in order to i escape detection, saying:—" Fear not She is like a mother to me, and no one will ausi poet me of murdering her," He advised ' Madame ScobelofT to leave Ivanhoff behind. It was only an afterthought that she took • Ivanhoff. These men received 700 Z. each, which they buried; They have now i revealed that Uzatis took a share of tho 1 plunder in rouble notes. The hiding-place has not yet been discovered, although, it is supposed 'to- be known by the younger .brother. It appears there are three in the 'Uzatis family, all more or less compromised, and judging from the Kirjala report and other outrages there are many of such men' i who disgrace their uniform on finding the unsettled condition of the Eoumelians, for getting all tho claims of military honour and discipline. : TBE IBISH DISTRESS FUND.

SERIOUS FACTION FIGHTS,

The Lady-day celebrations have in deveral places in the north of Ireland led to serious rioting. In Duugnnnon, where a very bad feeling has prevailed between Protestants and catholics since the July celebrations, the strong forco of extra police which arrived on August 14th was supplemented by fifty more the following day. There was a pro cession, and the result was rioting, in the course of which the police, who had been stoned, fired on the mob. It was afterwards discovered that a man named William O'Rorke, who it is said was one of the processionists, was shot dead. Several arrests have been made. The win dows of the residence of the Earl of Ran furly and of a number of residents in the town have been smashed. In Downpatrick also there has been rioting. A processiou composed of contingents from various dis tricts left for Castlewellan, and outside Downpatrick an affray took place. It ap pears that two policemen Dave beon wounded. One of them is injured severely in the leg, but in the other case the wound is not serious. In Belfast there was a very large procession, with some ten bands and great numbers of green banners, bearing crownloss harps and such mottoes as "Home Rule," "Remember Limerick," " God Savo Irelend," &c. A serious riot took place at Springfield, immediately out- Bide Belfast, where a publio-houso was wrecked, entered, and robbed, and the police were severely beaten in their endea vour to drive back the mob. Some police men were seriously wounded.

MOVEMENT AGAINST THE HOUSE

OF LORDS.

At the anti-oviction demonstration hold on Sunday, August 22nd, at Doneen, near Boyle, county Roscommon, to ' protest against tho eviction of two families, number ing 18 persons, on Colonel Taatl'o Ferrall's property, and at which there were botween 5,000 and 6,000 persons present. Mr O'Sul livnn made a Tory violent speech. He said they were there to strangle the cursod system of landlordism (cheers), and he now asked them to pay no rent pending a settlement of tho land question (cheers). (A. Voico : " Not a farthing.") Mr O'Sullivan con sidored Mr Gladstone should take 600 of the tenant farmers of Ireland, make them 600 representative lords, evict tho present Chamber, and do away with that idle, dis solute, gambling House (cheers). In Ireland they wern not concerned about this House of Lords,"as "they should do the work in their own fields." (A Voice :" On tho hillsides ") (cheers.) MrO'Sullivan referred to the Land Commission, and said they were a commission of land thieves, who had their report ut tho present moment in thoir pockets. (A Voice : "Down with them.") In France tho state of the people 100 years ago was the same as here, and they hanged every feudal lord from lamp-posts. (A Voico: ''We want the rope here.") He was not going to Bay one word against the French, as they were tho best judges of their own work. They should strike down tho system of landlordism, and let the landlord gp whorever he wished. (A Voice: "To hell") (cheers). Mr O'Sullivan said ho wished they might go to heaven; and he went on to (say that they should have a carraroe in every vlllbro—(cheers)—and when they had free land they would have a prosperous, contented, and national Ireland (applause). Mr J. R. Cox, Kilmore, called the landlords "a lot of loafers." Mr P. J. Sheridan, of the Land League, told the people to have signal* when an eviction was to take place to aasemble in their thousands and confront the officers of the law, while acting within the Constitution (cheers)

Extraordinary Disaster in Ireland.

A terrible calamity, wnicu has resulted in the loss ot a number of lives, has occurred at Gweedore, a remote moun tainous district in county Donegal. The village stands at the mouth of a glen. Just inside the glen is a pariah chapel, a plain but substantial structure, capable of accom modating threo or four hundred people. During the celebration of the communion on August 15, a flood burst down the glen, and in a few minutes flooded the chapel to the depth of about ten feet. A bridge close to tbe chapel was swept away, and the wall surrounding the graveyard Was thrown down. The scene which ensued was of the most heartrending description. Some of those present in the chapel escaped, but it is believed the majority were drowned. The priest escaped by gettinc up to the sill of a window 14 feet high, by means of a kneeling board placed on the rerodos of the altar. The flood was, un abated for fully an hour. The damage to the chapel and the enclosure cannot be covered by less than £3,000. Some gallant rescues were effected while the flood lasted. Further details from Gweedore state that the chapel, which was built over a rivulet, in a deep rocky gorge, was swamped by a waterspout which burst over it. The catas trophe was heralded by a terrific thunder storm. Four corpses have been recovered, and eleven bodies are missing. It is feared they have been swept out to sea. , .

THE ENGLISH PRESS ON NEW ZEA LAND.

It is not too much to say that the two most talked of colonies in England at the present time are New Zealand and the Cape. But the question discussed in each case are of a totally different character. With regard to South Africa, it is the political difficulty which causes so much anxiety, while in the case of New Zealand it is the financial situation which leads to so much discussion. We are continually being reminded that the debt of New Zealand is £50 per head, and that this is a burden which can never be sustained by the population. Some go bo far as to say that the colony is on the verge of bankruptcy. These are enemies to the country, and whether they 'live in Great Britain or Greater Britain they should be given i' wide berth. We hold that it is tnost unfair to draw a comparison between the proportion of the debt per unit of the population in an older country and that of •New Zealand, which has spent most of the money raised by loan on railways and other public works. The debt of Great Britain, for instance, has been incurred by a series of wars, many of which were unavoidable, and were embarked upon "to sustain the prestige of Old England, while the debt of that Younger Britain beyond the seas has chiefly been incurred for reproductive pur poses. But in spite of all the unfavourable rumours spread abroad with regard to New Zealand, we are glad to be able to say that thetenour of opinion here is greatly in favour of the colony and the independent reports which are being received are tending ■tor convince the young and ambitious English agriculturists and thehard-working mechanics that there is a wide and exton sive field in New Zaaland for improving their position and making them more in dependent than they could ever hope to be on this side. Since our last we have seen the report of the Lincolnshire delegates- Messrs Grant and Foster-who visited New Zealand last year. Owners of estates in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Norfolk, and at ktho same] time successful practical farmers, these two gentlemen proceeded to the colony to report upon the openings and advantages it offered to enterprising English agriculturists. There repoit is a highly favourable one, and especially do they speak well of the South Island.

SUPREME COURT—CIVIL SITTINGS.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.)

> Walker and Gkkenwood v. Johhson. —Claim £525 on two* promissory notes. After our report closed yesterday, Mr James Russell was examined with refer ence to the instructions he had received and the manner in which the deed of con veyance wa» drafted. Counsel then ad dressed the Court, after which His Honor summed up. In doing so he asked the jury to find specially on the following questions : 1. Whether the agreement was made at the time the notes were made or subsequently. 2. Whether the plaintiffs agreed with the defendant to renew in the mannerdescribed in the plea. 3. Was it a.part of the agree ment to mortgage, or was it a security for the pavinent of the bills. The jury found generally that there had been an agree moat to renew, and on the special issues submitted by the Court they found :—l. That the agreement to renew was made at !the time the notes or biUs were given. 2. "No." 3. That the agreement to renew was part of the agreemeet to purchase.— His Honor said he concurred with the jury !in their answers. By adding the further interest due the verdict would therefore be for £549 16s damages.—Mr Cooper asked leave to move for an arrest of judgement.— His Honor remarked that there was no pbint to reserve and there- would be two banco sittings at any rate before he left for the South. '■ McLeodv. Hay.—Claim £300, damages for trespass and assault. There was also a special claim of £50 for trespass of cattle.— Mr' Tyler appeared for the plaintiff, and !Mr E. Hesketh for the defendant. The plaintiff is a settler of forty years' standing on the island of Waiheke, and the defend ant is a labourer employed there by the j Manganese Company. Up till 1877 the iCompanVenjoyed the right of thoroughfare f -^ j „.i»4~«iA-nrm>ejsy of a

place on the bench. la the year referred to, however, Merrick sold this part of his land to the plaintiff, who began in Jane, 1879, to fence it off. The employees of the Manganese Company resented this Interference with their ancient right*, and therefore as often as the obnoxious fence was pnt np it was knocked down again. In these measures the defen dant took an active part through being the occupant of a shed which stood upon a part of tho property. The plaintiff proceeded to assert his right in a more direct manner, in September 1879, by erecting the fence in tho presence of some of the company's servants. A bullock dray drove up on its way to tbe beach, and on the defendant refusing to move out of the track, he was seized and forcibly deported a distance of ten yards. The plaintiff complained that violence was used towards him on this occasion, and hence his charge of assault. The defendant's reply was that the portion of land on which tho alleged trespasses were alleged to have taken place had been surveyed and formally dedicated by Mor rick as a public highway long before he sold to plaintiff, and that consequently tho latter had no right to fence it off and close the thoroughfare. That is the substance of the case.—The issues submitted to the jury were to the following effect: —(l). Did_ tho defendant commit the trespass complained of on that portion of plaintiff's land which defendant claims to be a publio highway. (2). Is it a public highway. (3). "Were trespasses committed by the defendant on any other portions of the land claimed by the plaintiff, and (4). Did tho defendant commit the assault complained of. Tho following evidence was taken :— Kiohard Hill, a surveyor, resident in Auck land, doposod that ho know tho land at Wuihcke, purchased by the plaintiff from Mr Merrick. Last week he surveyed it all at pUiutitf'a request, and he now produced the plans which ho had prepared. Tho plaintiff witnessed the survey.—Robert McLeod, tho plaintiff, deposed that he was the owner of some land at Waiheke, part of which he had bought from Mr Merrick (Grown Grant and conveyance produced). After buying it ho had entered into possession, and had lived on it over since. When the transaction took place there were a shed and a dwelling house upon tho land, in the latter of which a man named Wilson lived. Ho left, however, upon witness giving him notice. During tbe lest two years tho defendant had occupied the dwelling-house without wit ness's permission. The first time that wit ness took any action in the matter was on tho 28th of June, 1879. Ho had been work ing all day close by a line of back fence running from Castle's land to tho creek, and was just "knocking off" when he observed tho defendant come out of the house, and commenced digging a hole near tbo fence. Witness said nothing to him at the time. After BOino days the hole assumed tho di mensions of 12 feet by 6 feet, with a depth of 4 feot. Ho did not know what it was in tended for. From that date until February, 1880, the defendant was continually tres passing on witness' land. • On tho last Fri day and Saturday of JanuaryjCapt. Phillips (tho manager of the Manganese Company) and five men (including the defendant) came from tho mine and passed through witness* property on their way to the beach. They chopped down a portion of tho fence, so as to make a public thoroughfare across the land. Previous to this timo, viz., in September 1879, he had posted up a notice of his intention to close up tho property besides serving similar notices upon tbe defendant and Captain Phillips. No heed was paid to these notices. Ho had sustained great damage in conse quenco of tho trespasses of which ho com plained. By the constant breakage of the fences he had lost £200 worth of cattle, viz., 40 head, and since June last he had lost 30 head. Whenever he had repaired the feacos they were immediately broken down again. On tho Bth of November he proceeded with his son to the limit of his property for the purpose of repairing the roar boundary fence. He found five men there; one of them, named John Wiliams, said "that he would pull the fence down." Witness replied that the fence could not be pulled down until it had first been erected. Ho then set about digging pout holes with the assistance of his son, and after finishing some ho sat down on tbe ground, with his feet in one _of tho holes, in order to rest himself. While ho was sitting thus, a bullock dray laden with manganese made its appearance, and Captain Pbillips at once ordered the driver to drive tight over witness. The driver refused to do so, but the team came so near him that another crack of the whip would have sent the dray on top of him. The defendant, aud another man named Wil liams, then went away, and making a circuit stealthily came up behind defendant, seized and twisted hisarrusaod finally dragged him a distance of about ten yards when they kuolt upon him. They twisted every bone in'his body, and the immediate result of the ill-usage was that he was confined to his bed for several days afterwards. During several subsequent months blood frequently flowed from his mouth and nose. His left wrist, too, had been put out, and his left side injured. Proceedings wore instituted in the Police Court, bat the magistrate there said that he had no jurisdiction. He had been obliged to seek medical relief from Dr Lee for which purpose he came np to Auckland.

Donald McLeod, son of the last witness, 'gave evidence as to the alleged assault. He deposed that on the day in question he accompanied his father and a young man named Furness to the rear boundary of their land for the purpose of erecting a post and wire fence. They saw defen dant and four other men there." After a post hole had been dug, it was filled up again by Williams' order. Witness then scraped the dirt out and erected the post. Williamo and his man threw the post down and again filled up tbe hole. Witness cleared it out once more, and then his father went and sat down in it. - The men dragged him out of it, in order that the bullock dray might pass,- but his father returned to it They dragged him out again, and held him till the dray had passed. His father was laid up for several days afterwards in consequence, and had been since troubled with frequent spitting of blood. The men asked his father to move before touching him, and wbon they did seize him, he struggled.

THE CREW OF THE JAMES A. STEWART.

A tklkobam received to-day by Messrs Coupland and Co., which has been handed to ua, states that the Darcy, Pratt took shelter yesterday at New Plymouth, sailing again this morning. Some hopoa were entertained that the crew of the James A.
