But look her,-, what I do c ill meanness is this. Suppose legislatures made up of great land-'ownnrs-two Houses .oppressing the whole population hy a system oi t Ra tion which draws more from tho poor that: from the rich-which makes every family and every child throughout the country suffer — snen ling the taxation so obtained upon Public Works, winch give an enormous value to their own property. And when it b:eomo3 necessary to pay the in terest upon that money thoy don't like to pay the interest from their o*vn pockets, but they put on increased Customs' duties making the poor still poorer by having to pay the interest on that money. (Cries of "Shame.") That is meanness of the worst kind—unwilling to take from their own pockets that which thoy ought to pay for the great advantages whicli they enjoy, and be thankful and grateful for them — filching it from the pockets of the vety men from whom they have taken" that money in order pay to make their properties valuable Where is the Christianity of men who do such things ? I say that every man, every family, every child throughout New Zea land suffers from what they have done in putting on those enormous Customs duties to meet that taxation. The Scriptures tell us that it is a blessed thing to give a cup of cold water to ii little one. They give no cup of cold water. Now is that the American system? I stand here a communist lighting against that! Is it Commuuism to grumble against the rich taking from the poor? It is not the poor that I have asked to take from the rich, I have asked the poor to boar their fair share of the burdens of the country, as I know they will. (Cheers.) It i 3 not Communism to say, "Let the little ones have bread to eat; don't take it from them." I have lingered for a little time upon this subject in order to make you see that tin state ment that the present ' Ministry and their friends aro endeavouring to estab lish the free institutions of the United States, and that there is a Com munist trying to lead you into the worst errors of the French Republic, is not true.

Sir Georgo Grey hero compared the various stages in the growth of a nation to those in the life of an individual, indicating as he did so the conscotiences in each case of such neglect as he believed the people of New Zealand had shown. He thought that there was an apathy abroad which ought not t'J exist. As illustrating how greatly men were inlluenced by tbeir surroundings he instanced the case of Lord Macaulay, who at the after stage of his career, held the firm conviction that the hereditary aristocracy of England ought to be abolished, but who silenced that con viction iv deference to the hint conveyed by titled friends that his views ou tbis matter were not acceptable. He ab;o repeated au anecdote which he has given ou other occa sions in Auckland, showing the result of Monk Lewis's experience of slave habits in the West Indies, aud the ludicrous effect which they exercised upon himself while dining at the Duke of York's scat at Oak lands, National Education. Sir George Grey passed on to say—l be lieve a nation may bo shaped almost as you please—of course it depends Bomewhat upon the material upon which you have to work — but all who know New Zealaud from end to end will admit that there never was a more favorable chance to raise up a great nation than there is here. I say we recognise that fact, and have endeavoured to found the basis of future prosperity in education. The first thing we insisted upon was that true, free education —education of the most BOlid kind, should be given to every child in New Zealand, so that every child shall le so educated as to be able to torm a right and just opinion for itself. There was some trouble in carrying the measure through the House. Those American gentlemen proposed a totally different plan, but it was carried through. I ask you to reflect for one moment upon the effect of that. The one thing we havo in view is to found a great nation. Now, tho greatness of New Zealand must depend Jn great measure upon the manner iv which it can grapple with nature —upon tho manner it can apply the forces of nature for the benefit of man. I do not only speak of agriculture—upon products of that kind, but you know that in steam wc have wrested an extraordinary power from nature, —that iv electricity wc have wrested another extraordinary power from nature. Greater discoveries aud inventions will bo made year by year, each successive one being greater than the one which preceded it. The greatness of New Zealand will depend upon the men who can make those inventions and carry them out so as to ob tain the largest possible benefit from them. Those discoveries and inventions can only be made and carried out by the human mind in a high stage of development. V'oti may rely upon it tbat your schools will hereafter be the fruitful springs aud sources of knowledge from which will come dis coveries and inventions such as have never been seen in the world before, and it is the duty of us all to elevate aud have the human mind elevated to that pitch of which I speak, if we desire to see New Zea land what it ought to be. We have striven to our very utmost to obtain for every mau his due share of inlluence and his due rights in the state. I say you should continue to strive for them — that every citizen of New Zealand should be in this position that he should bo enabled to use freely all thoso gifts which God has given him without any difficulty whatever being placed in his way. Sir George Grey then referred to his youthful experience of the evils of the purchase 'system iv the Army and Navy, and the consequent diffi culty in the way of promotion Wo should take care, he said, that these evils were not repeated iv New Zealand. Reverting to the land question, the speaker declared that the party now in power had certainly ruined the Colony for a very con siderable period of time to come, and that somo members of the present Government had either aided or participated in the system which he was condemn ing. Arrangements had been made by which a few individuals had grasped enormous tracts of the most valu able land in New Zealand, and in very many instances that had been wrongfully done—almost irreparable injury being done the country in consequence. The Grid-ironino System. Sir George Grey then explained and de nounced the gridironing system as it had obtained in Canterbury. He proceeded as follows : Now many people think that was so gross an act of injustice that the law would set it aside, and that au attempt should be made to do it. If I had the power I would endeavour to do so, and if there was nothing in tho present law to enable me to do it, I believe a law should I»e made for the purpose, because I believe more injustice and wrong has been Inflicted upon any country than that was. A voice : How did you establish tho pen sioner settlements? The Chairman : Will the gentleman be good enough to wait until Sir George Grey has finished his address. Sir George Grey : You see the people have acquired these enormous properties. I only give you this instance, but I cau take properties of 100,000 acres—and that iv ac quiring land in that mode in each proviuco trie law was evaded. The other day I saw the prospectus of a great land company in Otago,by men who have bought large tracts of land, and what does the company say ? They say that they have bought land and selected it such a way that no ono can huy the remaining land, and that therefore they are certain to keep it tor years without ony competition. I say that is a great fraud upon the public, aud the same thing has been done throughout the country in every direction. lam very sorry that a thing of that kind should have been allowed to have been done and that it should have been successful. Serfdom. Det us follow out what this leads to. I tell you in plain terms that tho owner ship of Igreat tracts of land of that kind gives the proprietors of those blocks the ownership of men. They be come, in point of fact, slave owners. I will prove it to you. Don't bo startled at the tact. The people who go upon these blocks must obey their landlords precisely to the extent which they want to occupy—to the extent which is necessary to thoir existence. If it conies to a question of starvation—if they cannot get laud at all unless they agree to the terras imposed upon them, you will all agree that there is no alternative but to accept—they must vote as the landlord requires them— must fall iv with his wishes, aud must sub mit to many things. This system has pre vailed tea great extent iv Ireland. There was a great writer, Mr Wakefield, (father of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, and a grand father of the Wakcfields of this country) who visited Ireland, and being au English gentleman and paying the greatest attention to the state of Ireland, what did he say the result of this system was ? That the landlords, and even their very servants flogged the peasants as they pleased. If there was a carriage going along a road aud a dray or a car was the least in the way, and the driver not iv a position to help himself, the coachman flogged him un mercifully with his whip. A great writer named Arthur Young, who visited Ireland, described the same thing. The peasants dared not resist, for they knew that eviction WOHjrJ follow any resistance. In my own

hunt while quartered in Ireland, in the hunting field! have seen men unmercifully Hogged because they happened to bo on a wall looking at the hunt, and thoy turned '.ho fox. They had no remedy. I say the p.i. session of land in such a way as 1 have do=oibcd does reduce a man to absolute sli.v.-rv. . .

Sir George Grey then quoted (lis opinion of Mr Monk Lewis, that he would infinitely rathor be a slave in the West Indies than an English labourer, and he himself be li.vedthat the condition of such a slave was preferable to that of the English labourer at the present time—or of the qua-i slavery under which millions of our fellow countrymen at Home groaned. He then warned the peop'o of New Zealand against suffering the introduction of the same evils into this Colony by permitting the acquisition of enormous tracts of land. Ho also reiterated tho arguments used on other occasions in condemnation of the ays torn of nomiiiatin . members to the Lcgida tive Council. Thence he went on to assad with vigour a practice which had grown up of late years, viz., that of writing confiden tial letters to the Government. He held that no Government should receive confidential letters. Returning once again to the laud question, the speaker said he had reason to believe that negotiations were now troing for the pur chase of 250,003 or 303,000 acres, by a party of gentlemen—the said land being such as the public had rights over. He then made allusion to the recent tpecch of Mr McCaughan, and urged his hearers to bestir themselves, in order to prevent New Zealand from being irretrievably ruined. ' •Tbis finished, he wcut on to condemn the dual property vote. Concluding Remarks. n conclusion, he said he had placed be fore them that night, a blessing and a curse. They could insist upon laws being made, which were necc-isary for the welfare of the couutry, without any compact being en tered into between their members and the Ministry—a compact which they had never seen. (Cheers.) His opinion was ihat any compact which was made and which was said to be for the good of tho people should be proclaimed from the house tops. Those who made it should rush to the people and uufolding it say " Here it is ; here is the boon aud tho blessing that I have obtained for you " —and not to say " The compact is in my pocket and you sha'nt see it." Ho would make no observation of that kind. He would stand upon what he thought to be the rights of his follow mou, who were justly entitled to know the contents of auy compact which was entered into by their representatives. The Government which hid a compact of that kind was a cowardly Government (cheers), and did not know 'its duty to the people of New Zealand. He then con demned the lauding of Communists iv Auckland as an insult to the people of the country. He begged the people once moro to arouse themselves from their apathy to a sense of duty, aud insist upon right being douc the country at large. He resumed his scat amidst loud and prolonged cheer int., and fluttering of handkerchiefs. Mi S. Luke then moved, and Mr J. T. Boylan seconded, *' That the thanks of this meeting be accorded to Sir George Grey for bis able address just delivered, aud beg to reassure him of thoir unabated confidence in him, both as a representative aud a leader." The resolution was then put, and carried with acclamation.

In response to a call from tbe audience, Mr J. A. Tole (M.H.K. for Eden) came forward and delivered a short address, in the couisc of which be promised to explain to his constituents at an early dato the cir cumstances connected with the celebrated compact. He felt assured that when they came to light they would reflect discredit not ouly upon thoso who took part in the compact, but also upon those who had de fended it.

Mr Speight, (M.H.R., for City East), then addressed tho audience with a speech in support of the present educational system. Dr. Wallis then spoke. Ho took occasion to [disagree with Sir George Grey as to the desirability of having an elective Governor. Being interrupted by loud hissing and groan ing, he suddenly turned his attention to the compact. After, that he .found fault with Sir George Grey for fail ing to state his future line of policy in which connection be advocated tho female franchise, and an origiual system of land purchase under whicli the natives would be obliged to sell land at half value in order that the other half might goto the public revenues as a return for the enhanced value that the Public Works expenditure bad given the land. He also took exception to Sir George Grey's statement ot the financial deficiency. Mr Moss (M.H.Ii. for Parnell) said that the Liberal party had been broken, but it was not defeated. He alluded to Mr Mc- Caughan's speech as the prompting of some one behiud—that the member for liivcrton ton had, in fact, been put forward as a feeler. Ho urged his hearers to register their names ou the electoral roll—to be the strong men armed—and concluded,

" Naiißht will mako you ruo, If to yourselves yon bo but true,"

Mr Hamlin (M.11.E. for Franklin) ap proved of Sir George Grcy'3 silence as to his future policy, saying as he did, so that the proper time to unfold it would be during the ensuing session of Parliament. Major Harris (M.H.Ii. for Franklin) declared his resolve to support Sir George Grty even if every other Auckland member descried. Ho complained of the country members being deceived by some of the representatives which the city elected as their coadjutors—representatives who had taken the first opportunity to desert. (Loud cries of '• Swanson, Swanson.") Mr W. Swanson (M.H.Ii. for Newton) then made his way through the crowd in the body of the hail, and mounted the plat form, but he was received with a storm of hisses and groans. Throwing his hat care lessly to one side, he sat down upon a chair and calmly awaited the subsidence of the uproar. He made several ineffectual efforts to speak before silence was restored. At length he was heard to say—Mr Chairman, and gentlemen—l did not volunteer to come here and I was not invited, but I have heard a great deal about the iniquity of maktng compacts. Now lam going to tell you about a compact. (Hisses and groans.) Tho Chairman : You have called Mr Swanson before you, and you ought to hear him.

Mr Swanson : If you will be quiet I will promise to be brief. When wc wont down to Wellington, immediately after the Gov ernor had delivered his speech, there was a caucus ot tho Liberal party, at which I was present, and the conversation which I am goiug to relate to you, took place between Sir George Grey and myself. Every gentleman who has spoken to-night was present, and heard it. I shall repeat tho conversation without a syllable oE addi tion or omission. It has been kept very secret—nothing said about it. It has not been trotted out before the world, and this is the first time that it has been-spoken of. A programme was read by Sir George Grey, who presided, and I said, "Gentlemen, this is the programme 1 had better go.' 4 (Interruption, and crie3 of "Order"). Sir George Grey said to me, •' What is your objection, Mr Swanson?" I said, "I object distinctly to any interference with the property vote. If any party introduce such a measure, I will not only oppose tho measure itself, but the party introducing it.

A Voice : " Give us the Bill of S*le that you sold the province on." (Cheers and laughter).

Mr Swanson :If you want that, my friend, you are going the wrong way about it, because the House of Assemble with all their power was not able to bounce me, and I doubt whether you or any other man in this room is able to do it.

The Voice : Wc ought to have it, Mr Swanson.—You may think so, but you'll not get it. The Voice : " You'll have to give it." Mr Swanson : " Silenc3, you hound. If the people want to hear me, what righ have you to interrupt me.? (Uproar.) Those who know mo know this—l never turned my back On friend or enemy iv my lite, and it is not likely that 1 am going to be afraid ot such a cur as you."

A Voice : " Shove him down."

Mr Swanson : " If you mean to speak like that, just come outride after I have dono and I will talk to you. (Renewed uproar.) Sir George Grey said to me, after a pause, " Mr Swanson, if that is your only objection, the party may drop it." A voice : " You may drop it." Mr Swanson: " 1 won't drop it. 1 waited for a considerable time, while there was a long pause, in order to see whether anyone would speak, and I said—" Gentlemen, on the understanding that thatis to be dropped, I shall remain." What was the result ? I discovered, though not as soon as I would have wished—that this solemn pledge—and as wc are talking about solemn compacts, it may have been considered a comic one — was broken. The very men who made that pledge to me attempted to destroy tho property voto, succeeded in destroying the leasehold vote, and carried in the Lower House in spite of me, a measure providing that all tho elections should take place iv one day, I pointed out that the power of the town people would be des troyed by the system of election which they proposed, and that the Central Com mittee would be rendered powerless and unable longer to exist. My liberalism con sists in this :in giviug votes to men who have not got them, and not in depriving

them of those rights which thoy possess. My liberalism consists in endeavouriug to secure for every man in the town as well as in the country employment, and a house and ground of his own. It may bo all wrong, but thatis my view, and I apprehend that I have a perfect right to express it. As near as possible to the place where I am now standing when I was asked about the matter of followitig Sir Gorge Grey, I answered that I was entirely different from any of the other members—that I was re-elect :d without opposition— that no man had asked me for a promise (ami if anyone had it would not have been given), but that then I would make this promise—lhat I would support manhood suffrage, triennial parliaments, and an iv. come tax. I said that I had often voted voted against Sir George Grey, and that. I might do so again, giving him, however; the benefit of the doubt, to long as he was leader, I gave him my general support. A voice : You'll uotgo back again.

Mr Swanson : lhat is possible, but let me tell you this—that it takes two parties to bring that about. I have been told that bjfore and yet have gone down, although I have never asked for a vots. I have been a representative man for the greater part of 20 years, and 1 appeal to you now if I have ever a^ked any one of you for a vote for myself. I may here repeat what I told the people of Newton at my election:— " Do not think I am going down to do what you think right, but to do what I think right, and if you don"t thiuk I am doing right, you can easily get rid of mc. Two things will then happen, you will be better served, and I will have more time."

A voice from the stalls :—l'll pull you out of that.

Mr Swanson :—You know a trick worth two of that. (Jome up here and I'll send you dowa like a shot. Mr Swanson then descended to the stalls. On the motion of Sir George Grey, a voto of thanks was passed to tho Chairman. The assemblage dispersed after giviug three cheers for Sir George Grey.

THEATRE ROYAL.-MR FAIR CLOUGH.

Mr Boothroyd Fairclouoh, the tra gedian, arrived by the Te Anau this morn ing from Sydney. Mr Fairclough has con cluded a season of ten weeks of the most successful engagements, gratifying both to the actor and manager. The "Sydney Morn ing Herald" of the 12th April lias the fol lowing :—" Hamlet." From the moment of Mr Fairclough's entrance, the spectator is impressed with the scholarly refined earnest ness, of the prince and with the lofty esti mate the artist has formed of tho character

he pourtrays In the interview with the Queen he proved himself a greater artist than in any other portion of the play ; his demeanour as the Ghost re-appeared, and bade him speak to his mother, was intensely dramatic At the grave of Ophelia he was touchingly eloquent, graceful and manly in the duel with Laertes, painfully realistic iv the death agony and lightning-like rapidity with which ho u«od the few moments of fast ehbing life to slay the wicked king. . . . _. Judging him by his owu performance it is impossible to refuse him high praise for a very clever, original, aud refined interpreta tion, and to join in the applauso of the audience His rcc;ption on Satur

day must have been very gratifying to him. In speaking of Mr Fairclough appearing in London) " The Times " of September, 11th 18G8, has the following. — " Lyceum Theatre.—Mr. Fairciough is endowed with striking features, a good figure, »Dd

physical grace. He is earnest, natural, and not conventional. His ' Hamlet' is in every respect a finished picture, and we have seen no greater impersonation on the modern stage." Miss Clara Stephenson, an old Auckland favourite, will make her first appearance, after an absence of five years. Mr J. J. Kennedy a very rising and prominent young actor, will make his first appearance" before a New Zealand public. The management have wisely placed Hamlet, as the opening piece, and the opening night is Saturday next, May 15th.

THE SHIP CAROLINE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Tho fires : Referring to the state ments made by Mr O'Meara, I must say that there was only one little fire, and as for there being five it is false, as my triends can affirm, and we had candles all but the last two days. 1 he provisions: The flour was not bad, as was alleged by O'Meara, as all the other passengers could cat. it. The bread was not, as he states, nearly always short, it being bo only two or three times during the voyage ; and as to the porridge being always burnt, it was not so, only a few times, and the cook always would cook pies, cakes, &c; if you went to him and asked him in a nice manner, not in an ordering sort of way. The porridge and pea soup were never so bad as to be thrown overboard, and tbe salt pork was never so bad as stated. The captain : Everyone but O'Meara had a good word for the captain, who did what lie could for the passongers' comfort, but Mr O'Meara was always grumbling and going to tho captain, and had several differences with him in consc quence. The captain was a very kiud gen tlcinan. —I am, &C,

NADEN-MONIA.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—We Waikato settlers have to thank you for Friday's article criticising the killing of Mr McNicol'a cattle. Without some such check it is impossible to say where Mr Naden would draw the line. We aro threatened with a scourge equally ruinous as pleuro-pneumonia iv the shape ot Nadcn-mouiti. If he| is the right man in the tight place, ho can tell of the exis tence of pleuro-pneumonia by the symptoms by placing his professional ear to tho chest of the beaat and listeuiuj; to the breathing, by using his professional eyes, his skill and experience, shou'.d detect, without fail, the presence of tho dreadful disease. He however appears to treat with contempt such commonplace manipulation, and when he has slain McNicol's beasts, he scorns even then to dissect and examine the lungs. Mr Fantham courageously went to the root of the disease, and is worthy of praise, but lato veterinary exhibitors are cal culated to make the Cattle Board a bye word among men. Waikato has got a bad namo through the outbreak, which fortun ately has not spread yet on local paper, aud tno aforesaid Vet. appears determined to keep up the scoto, though it may be ruin to the property holders, and tho poor fanner with his already too lean kino. The Star deserves tho best thanks of the Waikato scttlerc, for the check it hos given to tho growing desire for tho indiscriminate slaugh tering of our cattle, —Yours, &c„ Waikato.

MORE COMPLIMENTS.

(To the Editor.)

Sin,— My courteous admirer has thrown off the flimsy mask of weak sattro behind which he commenced his personal attack ou myself. Not only that, but he has clearly lost his temper—l will not say his reason also, as it is somewhat dillicult for au indi vidual to lose what he never possessed I replied to his letters from feelings of the purest love aud affection, aud yet he is angry ! His plaintive remarks concerning his reputed birthplace betray an attenuated cuticle—a tender and susceptible heart. He has a heart, but would to llcavcu he had brains to correspond ! His own profound reasoning displays an unsophisticated inno cence, a verdant simplicity, that is perfectly charming, aud which endears him to my soul. Henceforth I shall watch my admirer's career with the tenderest solicitude aud care, for it is evident he requires it. He argues that by her marriage with Ahab, Jezebel became an Israelite 1 " This is a specimen of his logical acumen." My admirer might.just as well argue that his own marriage with a sensible woman would render him a sensible man, a transformation which is utterly beyond the reach of my poor imagination to co-oci»e. In my plea for Ahab's queen conuort. I endeavoured to show that her character was not wholly vile ; that the Biblical hi.toiian docs not depict her iv the dark and repulsive colours iv which popular prejudice paints her; that the circum stances of her parentage, nationality, and education exercised a paramount inlluenco on her career ; that certain alleged crimes laid to her sole charge were shared in by other individuals, and that evenhanded justice should be dealt all round ; that the historian does not charge her with licen tiousness, but merely quotes the words of a reckless and unprincipled adven turer, whose allegation is entirely unsupported by a particle of corroborative tcs'imouy; that her fate, though an awful one, docs not deprive her of the right to a fair, impartial, nay more, a merciful hear ing. My admirer may think it manly to fdiout the parrot-cry ot " Wicked Jezebel !" I don't. I hare tho " check," I trust I always shall have the " cheek " to utter my convictions on any subject, even when they run counter to orthodox dogmas, political croeda or popular prejudices. My admirer considers this to be " worrying " Jezebel's remnants ! He on the other hand,gently re bukes hcras "licentious," "fierce," "cruel," "accursed," "blood-thirsty," "proud," "voluptuous,'and "abominable." This of course is not worrying her rctnrants. "This is a specimen of the logical acumen, gentle manly courtesy and polished wit, which my admirer has acquired," when I know not, and am content to remain ignorant. Which mode of conduct more resembles the ill-natured snarling of a vicious cur, I leave to the unbiassed judg ment of your readers to decide. I may not have couvincod all my audience last Wed nesday night of the reasonableness of my pica, but I havo the gratification of know ing that some at least left the room with kinder thoughts of Jezebel than they had wheu thoy eutered it. I may be conceited, but it is a mistake to suppose that this quality is monopolised by young moa. I know nt least one bald-headed quill-driver who has a most exaggerated opinion of his powers of sarcasm and satire. My admirer kindly says I can go. It seems rather strange that he should bo anxious to relax the very friendly grip he was so eager to take . The dread sentence of sep aration has afflicted me with the deepest melaucholy, but I suppose I must submit to the parting however painful it is. Should, however, my admirer desire on any future occasion to cross swords, or break a friendly lance with me, or even to engage in a com bat _■ l'outranco I shall be most happy to afford him the pleasure.—l am &c, Wm. Cooper.

DIRECT STEAMER TO ENGLAND.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —In your issue yestcrdayl tho s.s. Orient is reported as having arrived nt Ade laide on the 10th, aud the "Herald " of to day states the Sth, Evon taking the 10th. as she left Plymouth on April 3, it would make her run to have boon made in the un precedented time ot 3G days, stopping at St. Vincent and tho Capo as well—nctt running time, 34 days; but if she really arrived on the Sth, only 32 days. When the Victoria steamer, iv 1853, came out to Adelaide in a little under GO days, it was deemed a wonderful perfor mance, but now trips of 38 days by (ho Orient steamers are thought nothing of. If the Orient makes her run to Sydney in, say 41 days, and there was the Rotomahana waiting to take on the Auckland mails, wc might get them in 4G days from London. We had a P. and O. mail of March 13th delivered the other day in Auckland in this time via Sydney 1 believe. It strikes me by a better arrangement wc might always have an in termediary mail via Suez and Sydnoy iv this time. We do not certainly reap here the full benefit of the splendid service main tained by the Orient and P. and O. Com. panics. Money-Wigram's steamship Nor folk has left England for Lyttelton and Wellington about April 20th. As Shaw, Savillc and the New Zealand Shipping Company were advertised as the ageuts in London, it may be presumed these firms find sailing ships getting out of favour, and the Noifolkisscnt on a test voyage. Well, if we have many moro Caroline revclatiouF, the sooner sailing ships cease to carry pas sengers the better. What is more dread ful, then, thau to be shut up iv a dirty ship with no discipline for 11G days, aud starved as well. I hear the Edwin Fox, which ar rived at Lyttelton in 113 days, was tjust about as bad as the Caroliue lor diit and starvatiou, —I am, &c,

Frightful Railway Accident.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

A MAN FALLS FROM A TRAIN,

HAMILTON, this day.

A frightful accident occurred ou the railway last night, between Huntly and Taupiri. Edward Walsh stepped or fell off the train, and tho wheels passed over his right leg below the knee, completely crush ing everything. The Guatd failed to communicate with the engine, until arrival at the next station, when they returned to pick him up, He was brought on to Hamilton, and taken to James' Railway Hotel. Dr Carey and Dr Sands were in attendance and did all possible under the circumstances to relieve the sufferer, with the view of sending him to the hospital this morning, but being too weak Dr Sards made preparations for per forming amputation abovo the knee. Un fortunately the patient sank from nervous shock and loss of blood, and expired at 11 o'clock.

The deceased was a son of Dr Walsh, of Enniskillin in Ireland, and nephew to Mr Callwell, station master of Hamilton.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT,

Vincent Karcl at Ohaupo, while handling a log yesterday got his right leg jammed above the ankle, Dr, Saunders was promptly in attendance, and set the limb. The patient is prospering favourably.
