ARRIVAL OF THE AUSTRALIA.

During the last sx or eight months, the regularity and punctuality which has charac terised thorunning of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's steamers has given general satisfac tion here, and has afforded additional evidence of the excellent manner in wheh iho San Fran cisco Mail Service is being conducted. It has hitherto bean the rule for the company's steamers toput in an appearance on tho Tuesday, which is one day in advance of contract t mo. Tho City of Bydney recently made a smart passage* which, allowing for detentions, was equal to arriving on th 3 Monday ovciynir. Bat ts the Australia is now due the honour of having made the fastest run from San Francisco on record. When the signal of tho moil Btoamer outside Tiritiri -yvas hoisted at tho Mount Victoria Signal Station yesterday after- SBon. it w.aa" generally conc'uded that io signalman had made a mistake, and that the vessel coining up was really the Rotorua from the South or a man-o'-war vessel under steam. These ideas were, how ever, scion dispelled when tho signal denoting that she had passed Tiri Tiri was shown, and the numbers were not changed: It was then plainiy evident that tho steamer was none other than the Australia, from San Francisco, the run down [having been accomplished threo days under contract time. She entered the Beef shortly after 5 p.m. and was alongside the Queen Street Wharf an hour later. Wo are -indebted toMrD. Dean, purser, for late flies, passenger lisls atd the following report of the passage. Tho'R.M.S. Australia, Oargitl, commander, cast off from the wharf at San Francisco, at 0 30, December 23rd {New Zealand time), discharged her pilot at 2.30 p.m.; at 3.30 Farrallone Islands bore N.W., four mi'es distant.

Cast off from fhn wharf and proceeded to sea same date, dis charging pilot at 7.15 p.m. Experienced mode rate winds and fine clear weather up to January 2nd and strong head winds on thisi date, crossed the equator on the 3rd January at 0.30 am., in innciHo 10712 weat, light winds and fine weather prevailed Tup to tfie,Bth.

ARRIVAL OF THE BEN NEVIS.

Tho itchoonei' Advance, which arrived from Russell on Saturday evening, reported having been in company with a full-rigaed ship oh Thursday and Friday lust. It \va3 immediately conjectured that she was Messrs yhaw, Saville and Co.'ssbip Ken Nevis, 100 days out f.om Lon don, and this proved to ba corre: t. At an early hour yesterday morning, she was signalled inside Tlritiri, and the hoisting of the numbers a short time afterwords set at rest all doubts on the point. She came up tho harbour shortly before noon, and anchored off the Queen street wharf. Here she was boarded by Dr. Philson, Health officer, nnd Mr. Brophy, immigration agent. The customary inspec tion shewed that the passengers were all in good health, and a clean bill of health was therefore, accorded to tho vessel. During the day, a hwe number of small boats were plying regularly to and fro between tho s'-oio and the. vc-scl, conveying passengers and t.hrir friends.

For tha catue that lacks assistance. For tha wrong tha needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good thutjwo can do.

The remarkably fust; passage com pleted by the steamship ' Australia' yesterday was, it appears, not the result of any accidental circumstances of a favourable character, but a pre determined trial executed by the Pacific Mail Company for tlie purpose of ascertaining what the line is capable of as a mail service. With this view a good deal of cargo was refused and the steamor put in good trim for the run, tho stoppages were reduced to a minimum, and other preparations made for getting tho best speed that could be maintained without in any way strain ing tho machinery or unduly pressing tho steamer. The result lias been a remarkable success. Tho run was ac complished in IS clays, 21 hours 20 minutes actual steaming time, with ten hours detention at Honolulu added. She did on the average 330 miles a day or about 13J mile 3an hour for the whole passugo. It is expected that the steamer will make Sydney on Thurs day night, completing tho run from San Francisco in tho unprecedented tinio of about 24 days, including all stoppages. In the so days of fust pus sages and mail competition it is important to consider what lessons are taught by the experiment which the Company, in their zeal to improve the service, have carried out. The London dates by yesterday's steamer were to Dccotnber 4th. Tho mails were therefore delivered in Auckland in thirty-eight days from London, and v/ill probably be landed in Sydney in a fow hours over forty-two days. The time under the present contraot is forty one clays to Auckland and 4G to Sydney. But if it be possible, as wo have seen, to shorten the time on the Pacific by three day, what may be done in other directions ? Three splendid steamships are now being built for the Cunord, Inman, and Allan's line, to mako the run across the Atlantic in six days. The trans-continental journey could bo done in five days which would, on the basis of the Australia's time give a delivery in Auckland of less than 31 days, and in Sydney of 35Jor 3G. By dropping Honolulu as a calling place a saving of two or more days could be effected, reducing the service still further. It is quite evident that the capabilities of the route are not nearly exhausted under the present time table, and that it might be brought within limits that would render com petition by the Suez and other lines impossible. Of course the expense would be materially greater if the Com pany had to limit their freight business ; but the question tested is which is the quickest possible route for despatch of English mails, and these figures settle it in favour of that via San Francisco. The New Suez contract, as we stated on Friday last, is for 41 days to Melbourne, nearly a day longer than the average rate at which the San Francisco service was per formed to Auckland last year. Tho exertions which the Pacific Mail Company are now putting forth to improve the service are a hopeful sign. Mr Beardsley's appointment as

special agent iv New Zealand was, wo learn, dictated solely by a desire to have some ono whoso entire time and energies shall be devoted to the task of ascertaining the wants of tho colony and endeavouring to supply them, and he has set himself to the work with an ability which augurs well for the inter ests of the Company and the contract ing colonies. His experience and know ledge of America enables him to furnish all the information that can be required by travellers regarding a route which from its great advantages should be the most popular way of making the trip to England.

The ship Beu Nevis, which arrived in harbour yesterday, brings us the largest printing machine ever imported into New Zealand. It is one of Dawsou's four-feeder •' Wharf dales," built to special order, with all latest improvements. By its aid we shall be able to work oil' the whole edition of the STAR— 0,000 copies a night—in one hour. This will effect a very material improve ment in the delivery, and we trust that within a month, by which time the ma chine, it is hoped, will bo landed and erected, every reader of the STAR will get the paper on his tea table, or know the reason why. We shall take it as a favour if sub scribers who have reason to complain of late delivery will inform the oilice, as it is our desire to find out and remedy all existing defects. When tho new machine is work ing there should be no cause of complaint that is not capable of being immediately remedied, and any representations likely to assist towaids that end will not only receive attention but will be considered an obliga tion conferred upon the oflice.

No wonder work is badly done in Parlia ment, when members arc actually ignorant of what has received their approval, and what has not. In his speech at tit. James's hall, Dr. Wallis bewailed the oppression of the widow and orphan through the increase in siicccM-<ioii duties. The " Herald " ap pears to be as wise on the subject as the hon. member for City West, Sor this morn ing it goes on to defend the equity of the tax. The fact is that no Bill to amend the Stamp Act was oven introduced last session; and the suppositions widow and orphan in expectation of legacies may wipe their eyes. A proposition of the kind was mooted in the Financial Statement, but the Bill tn give it ellVct never even came down to t!ie House, so that talk on the subject is pure batlioH.and calculated to mislead the public

To the Editor : Sir, —A gross case of lairikinism took place in Newton last night. My wife had been to the chemißts, and on returning home, between Mr Stimpson's simp and the Reservoir, one of three young mcv, who were doing a walking match, ran with his head in her face, giriug a severe fallon theasphalt pavement, his foot lasccra ting the chest. They ran off down Edin burgh-street after a brutal laugh, and hut for the kindness of a young man who came up (and whose name 1 should like to know) my wife would not have been able to rise, being unconscious from the blow to her head on the pavement. The time was a little after uiue. I strongly'commend this case to the notice of our worthy constable, Mr Abrahams, than whom no man has done more to repress this pest; but it «eeni3 one man bo everywhere.—l am &c, Anti-Larrikin.

To tho Editor : Sir,—ln justice to Mr Walters I wish to contradict an error in your report of the Ladies' I'ursc llace, Hamilton, for which I gave a Silver Cup. It is true that my name was not mentioned on the race cards, but there may be a reason for that. Ouo thing is certain it was not the fault of Mr Kennedy Hill, who treated mo with the utmost courtesy and drove me out and back to tho races.

Mr T. Gorman, travelling agent for Nobel's Explosives C6mpany (Limited), Glasgow, visited Mount Eden Gaol a few days ago, and fired several shots in holes and crevices with this company's patont dynamite, and with most conclusive and satisfactory results to the warders, to Mr Patterson (foreman of the quarries), and also to Mr O'Biien (tho governor). The mode of operations, weight of explosive used, and results, were as follows : Charges of from one and a half to two ounces of the com pound were put respectively into one email bore in each of two large rocks. This when fired in the usual way with fuse and deton ator—as fire will not explode dynamite, but simply burns it away when in small quan tities. The explosion split the rocks into smallor blocks, accomplishing tho object desired. Then into a bore-hole, some 4ft deep, ten ounces were put. This shot loosened and brought down upwards of twenty tons, including the burden of a , shot lired by lithofracteur the day before, and which failed to throw down its burden of rock. The last and most manifestly success ful was that of fourteen ounces of the dynamite inserted about fifteen inches into a crevice. This charge ought to have been a deal farther in to give the explosive a fair chance. This whou lired was a grand sight to see the largo blocks falling down. This shot threwdpwn'iindlooseued (batter ready for bailing'down) nearly forty tons.in all, and was > .pronounced to be the finest shot which had' been, fired in the quarries for some time-!. The governor of the gaol had become unfavourably impressed with all nitro-glycerine compounds, and had almost decided to discontinue their use, but from the judgment used and results accruing from Mr Gorman's visit.these antipathies have been removed, and he (the governor) pronounced this special brand to be a very superior article, and in future will use only " Nobel's." Mr Gorman purposes visiting the vaiioxis golil miuiug districts. i

A MADMAN ON BARRACK HILL.

A MAN named Daniel Gleeson was charged this morning at the Police Court with being of unsound mind. The man had been drinking for several weeks past, and iva missing from his home since Saturday night. It appears, that on leaving a public house he was unable to find I>h way home, and wandered on to Barrack Hill, where he undressed himself and lay down on the grass under a tree. There he slept un observed through tho watches of the night, and on the ringing of the bells, of several churches at a quarter to eleven,he started up, rau and yelled in a savage manner, now and then rolling over and over down tho slope of the hill, and eating grass. Several persons ran to the police-station, and Sergeants Martin and Hogan went forth with a blanket and found Gleeson as described. On weeing the police npproach ing he made an effort to knock his brains out against a tree, and bit himself severely in the thigh and knee. Sergeant Hogan folded a blanket around the naked body of Gleeson, when ho com menced to gnaw it, and by the time he reached the station he haJ bitten a number of holes in it, and swallowed a large piece which nearly choked him. At length the prisoner was nearly exhausted, and lay down, bleeding from the shoulder and other parts of his body. The police were thus enabled to clothe him, and as he appeared in a very weak state he was sent to the Hospital for medical treatment. Tho cause of Gleeson's wild conduct is excessive drink ing,

Cambridge Jockey Club Summer Meeting.

The summer meeting ofj the Cambridge Jockey Club will beheld on Thursday next, January 15, and promises to be the most successful yet held. The programme is re markably good, and comprises that moU attractive of events, a " Steeplechase." This Handicap Steeplechase is for a cup, presented by J. A. Douglas, Esq., with 50 soy:?. added. Distance three mile?, over fair hunting ground. During Ilia Excel lency the Governor's late trip to Waikato, ho visited the Cambridge Racecourse at the time the Secretary (Mr Scott) and Stewards were at work with men, arranging matters, and laying oil' the Waikato Steeplechase Course. Sir Hercules gave some practical suggestions respecting the latter. With the help ot such an eminent judge of racing matters, the course should be as near per fection as the nature- ot country will allow. His Excellency admired the grandstand, and from its elevation surveyed the country round, took cognisance of Mr Fantham's spleadid herd of shorthorns, and of the panoramic view of English-looking home steads dotting the plain; of smiling corn iields, luxuriant gardens, demonstrative of fortile soil and a good climate ; the view of Central Waikato being completed by the graud chain of mountains surrounding the flat land. Visitors to tho Cambridge race course this week cannot fail to enioy the aspect of the simounding country, as the course is situated in the heart of some of the best Waikato lands. Those who intend taking advantage ot the Waikato Steam Navigation Company's cheap excursion fores will be pleased to learn that a now landing-place has been constructed at the racecourse. Excursionists will only have five minutes' walk from tho steamer. Thus an easy and pleasant means of reaching the course is provided. There is some talk of the large native meeting being postponed for two days, to allow of the natives attend ing, when upwards of a thousand would be expected on the ground. With fine weather, there can be little doubt of a good meeting. Tho officers of the Club are sparing no effort to make it a great success.

CRICKET.—SATURDAY'S MATCHES.

B. PORTER AND CO. V. T. AND S. MORRIN. The annual cricket match between the employe's of these firms in the ironmongery business, came oiF on Saturday in the Domain ground. The afternoon was favour able, but ou neither sjdo did the men of iron show groat proficiency in the game, perhaps from want of practice. The men who batted in honour of Messrs Porter's firm scored but 38 in both innings, the highest number being 11, by Gummer. The employe's of Messrs Morrm scored 48, being 10 in advance of their opponents, out of which Cooko scored 15, and Drummond 10. The batting of tho latter was true and artistic. AUCKLAND C£UB V. STANDARD CU7I3. The members of these clubs played a game on Saturday, and exhibited both energy and will in the contest, and capital scores were made on the Auckland siito, especially by Cotton and McCormick. Cotton's right hand had not forgotten its cunning, and his numbers were worthy of Cornwall. His score was 35, which seemed to auger a hope less case for the Standards. McCormick added 52, which made 87. The final re sults were : Auckland, 127; Standard, 63. The highest numbers on the Standard side were, Brooks 16, Testro 14. WEST END V. EXCELSIOR. The members of these clubs played a match which created a great amount of in terest among a large number of spectators. Some of the members of these clubs are very enthusiastic, and have taken almost daily opportunities of exercising themselves in the manly sport. Oliver B. Waymouth an expert, the Pilch of the West-Enders' knocked down 30, while Anderson., the Crcsar of the club, brought 20. Thwaites scored 16, and Cotter 19. The most notice able number on the Excelsior side was 27 by Waddington. ■ The totals were:' Weat .End, 116; Excelsior, 83.

Thomas Lea, Liberal, of Kidderminster, has been elected to Parliament for County Donegal. Home Rulers supported nine against the Conservative candidate, Mc- Oorkell. Members of the Beefsteak Club are incensed that Labouchere appealed from the Club's Court to the law. Guided by Sir George Jessel's decision, they avoided technical mistakes in dealing with the case a second time, and made the expulsion of " Prattis" editor formal and complete.

There is an outbreak of pleuro-pneunionia in Monmouthshire. The cotton trade is improving in North Lancashire; some firms have raised the wages of their employe's. Charlo S.

ANTI-RENT AGITATION IN IRE-

LAND-VIOLENT SPEECHES.

The anti-rent agitation in Ireland con tinues to grow in intensity. Meetings had been held at Castlerea and Castlebar. Proceedings were particularly stormy at the former. Martin McDonnell presided. His speech was mainly political. He asked the crowd, in the name o£ God, not to let the O'Connor Don again represent them in Parliament. In fact, an impartial observer could not help noticing how much stress was laid on this point by all the speakers, giving the impression that the meeting was aimed as much at Parliament seats at Kos common as at landlordism. During Mc- Donnell's speech, John Nally, a tfenian from Bally, who was on the platform, cried out to the crowd, " Shove these reporters away; shut them up I" The response was a yell, followed immediately by a rush. For a moment it seemed as if the reporters and Constables would be swept off the ground. But the latter raised their guvs to their hips and presented them toward the people, who fell back in confusion. For several moments Parnell tried his best to quiet the tumult. Execrations were heard on all sidep. Yells rose up of, "Curse the spies ! Kill the Saxon bastards!" Patrick Egan then made an effective speech. He claimed that the rents winch landlords got for the past year or two did not come from the soil, but from America.

Thomas Brennan, tried for seditious utterances at Castlebar and Balla, has been indicted. In a speech to the crowd from a hotel window, he stated that whatever he had said, ho was prepared to say again. There are indications that the ••Government does not intend to press the prosecutions against Davitt, Daley and Killen, although true bills have been found against them for sedition. Several large meetings were held in the West of Ireland, on tlie 14th a Catholic Clergyman presided over the meeting at Ballina. All the speakers advocated a peasant proprietary eyttem. The Duches? of Marlborough has appealed to England for funds to relieve Irish Dis tress, and is warmly supported therein by the "Times." Kerry,Galway, Roscommon, Sligo, Mayo, Donegal and Cork are partic ularly nlllicted.

bailed and pumped water fn,in VVVdnesdav night to Thursday night, when the storm abated and the fires were relighted. The steamer Roscommon,Captain .Steclr; from Liverpool for Havauna, capsized ami sack at sea on November 13. Six of the crew were drowned.

Russia.

An attempt to murder tho Czar was made on the 2nd inst. by means of blowing up a ' railway train on whioh he was a passenger The explosion took place as the baggage train was entering the suburbs of Moscow. The Emperor, forunately, was in a second train, and escaped injury. One luggage van was blown to pieces, and aevcifcar riages thrown off the rails, but excepting two railway officials, nobody was injured; The explosion caused a gap in the -perma* nent roadway 4ft Bin deep, 16ft loDg, and 18 broad. Investigation discovered in the courtyard of an empty house, concealed under the snow, some wire co.inected with a battery placed in an outhouse, from which passing trains could easily lie seen. Ihe house was bought in September last by a;■;: young man who stated he vras a citizen of Samara. He ha? been observed digging in his cellar by his neighbour?, but disarmed suspicion by declaring that his reason for doing it was to obtiin sand. From this * cellar was dug a passage-way 150 ft from ' the house, in which a train of powder wa,<i laid, connecting with a mine under the rail way. More wires were found behind tho wall-paper. It is supposed several persons were eugaged in the work. Some persons who were standing on the embankment m the baggage train passed, imagining it was ' the Czar's train, cheered, which was tb.« •;;, signal for exploding the mine. Several I arrests on suspicion have been made in con-

nection with the affair. The Constitutional ■ Party despair of producing any effect on the Czar, after this attempt on his life. M.
