THE MELBOURNE EX HIBITION.

Tne Opening Ceremony.

(REUTERS CABLEGRAM.)

MELIiOUKNE, October 1. THE International Exhibition in Carlton Gardens was opened to-day with great ceremony. The day was proclaimed a public holiday in honor of tho eveut, aud it was strictly observed as snch, all places of business being closed. The weather was fine, but somewhat cloudy and'windy. At an early hour the various associations and trade societioa, numbering several thousand, formed in procession nnd traversed Kussoll, Bourko, Spring, Flinders, Elizabeth, and Collins streets, tho head halting at the Burke and Wills' monument. Tho Firo Brigades rendezvoused in Flinders-street, and thoro awaited the viceregal party, which left Government flouso 20 minutes past 10 under a viceregal salute. Tho party comprised His Excellency tho Go venor, the Marquis of Normanby, and tho Marchioness of Normanby; tho JUuke of Manchester; Lord Augustus and Lady Loftus ; Sir William and Lady Jervois, and tho Misses Jervois ; Sir William Robinson (Governor of Western Australia), and Lady i Kobinson; Sir Francis Smith (acting Go-1 vomor of Tasmania), and Lady Smith; and Commodore Wilson, and their respective suites. The cortege consisted in all of twelve well-appointed carriages. Tho military BDd naval forces, consisting of 500 British and 300. foreign blue-jackets, and the pro vincial and metropolitan volunteers, had previously assembled, the former taking imposition at the south face of the Exhi bition, and the latter preceding tho party from Government House, and forming in ltathdownc and .Nicholson stroets. The trade societies formed in double line at the intersection of Collins and Elizabeth

streets, the carriages passing through tho line and the trades then following the procession. The streets were lined with thousands of the public, and great en thusiasm was displayed. On the ap proach of the procession to the building tho bands of tho societies played the National Anthem, and when the procession had entered the grounds it took up a position in the main avenue.

The vice regal party entered the sonth <door at 11 o'clock. The President of the Commission, the Imperial Commissioners, the Ministers, Vice-Presidents, and mem "bers of the Executive Commission, received the party, and conducted them to a hand some dai's, erected under the central dome. The National Anthem was then sung by a quartette and chorus, with organ accom paniment, three cheers given for the Queen and Prince of Wales, and for Govornor and Lady Normanby, and the party then took their seats.

_ On the dai's were a number of other dis tinguished visitors, the various foreign Consuls-Genera), Consuls and Vice-Con-: buls, membars ot both Houses of Parlia ment, the Bishop of. Melbourne, the' Judges, and other public functionaries. A special inaugural cantata, composed! by M. Caron, was then performed. It lasted an hour and was a great success. There were a 1000 performers, the principals boing the Simonsens, Mrs Cut-, ter, Mr Beaumont, and Signor Verdi. The chorus was excellent. The ladies wore white dresses with blue sashes on the: right, and red sashes on the left side of the orchestra. At the eonclnsion of the cantata there was immense applause, the Governor leading. M. Caron, the com poser and leader of the orchestra, was then! presented to ilis Excellency and con gratulated. ' The cantata finished, the President, the Hon. W. J. Clarke, and the vice-presidents of the Commission then ascended the dais. The former read an address to the Go vernor. It detailed the history of the formation of the Exhibition, and said that, in response to invitations', they had received a large representation from great Britain, foreign countries, and the colonies, and concluded by acknowledging their valuable assistance and co-operation. Lord Normanby, in reply, said the under taking was creditable to the Victorian Com missioners, to the Executive, and to Par liament. Any fears of imperfect responses to the Commissioners' invitation to foreign countries were soon dispelled. The display of industry and art in the building auy country might be proud of, and the fore sight, energy, and ability with which de tails had been carried out reflected the highest credit on the Commissioners. The Imperial Government had also promptly co-operated; also foreign countries aud colonies, and it was now an assured fact tbat the present Exhibition would rank equal to its predecessors as a satiifactory exponent of the world's industries. It was his pleasing duty to convey to the Govern ments of foreign countries and the colonies his feeling of the obligation at the satisfac tion which tbe opening address of the Com missioners expressed. His Excellency con cluded by declaring the Exhibition opened in the name of Her Majesty the Queen. The Union Jack was then hoisted above' the building, and salutes were simulta neously fired by the men-of-war ia harbour and the batteries on shore. The Hallelujah chorus was sung by tbe choir, the machi nery set In motion, and the fountains com menced to play. After the chorus was flung, the vice regal party left the dais and proceeded to the various Courts, where the representa tive Commissioners were presented to His Excellency -. the Governor. Meanwhile, the French, German, Austrian, Italian, Prussian, American, and Belgian National Anthems were played by the orchestra, and) at their conclusion the march from "Le Propheto" was performed. The vice regal party, on reaching the New Zealand Court, were received by the Com missioners, Dr. Hector and Mr Blackwood, and the secretary, Mr Callis. Dr. Hector presented Lord Normanby with a hand somely bound copy of the catalogue of New Zealand exhibits, which was published to day, and with a copy of the hand-book containing information regarding the pro ducts, progress, and statistics of the colony. Although this was His Excellency's first official Visit, it was not the first time-he bad visited the Court, for he has done so on several occasions, and.has,shown that ho still retains a lively interest1 in the doings of the colony. The Court presents a pleasing and attractive appearance, although several details are still imperfect. The entries comprise 631 exhibits, which is greater than at Sydney, while the space allotted to New Zealand was one-bait more than at Melbourne, where there are only 8000 feet. The Commissioners, therefore, have had considerable trouble to find spies for all the exhibit?, but they bave happily .surmounted the difficulty, and notwith standing that the Court is crowded every exhibit is displayed to the best advantage. ' The following is an abstract of the classi fication of exhibits : -Art, 74; educational apparatus, processes, and the the liberal arts, 93; furniture, 62; textile?, 32; raw manufactures, 77; machinery processes, mechanical industries, 63 ; alimentary, 134; horticulture, 31; mining 21. On the return of the vice regal party to the dais, the Governor despatched a tele gram to the Queen announcing the opening of the Exhibition in her name. On depart-, ing, His Excellency inspected the proces sion of the trades, and other bodies, and then the united bands played the National Anthem, and then another salute was fired on the departure of the vice regal party from the Exhibition grounds. . The whole proceedings passed oil with immense dclat. Ihere was a very large attendance ol the public, and the scene at the close of the opening ceremony was most brilliant and impressive. Most of the Courts are in a forward state, although many arc still incomplete. Ttau display promises to be most excellent, especially in the exhibits of. the Fine Arts. Amongsc the distinguished visitors from other colonies are Sir John Hay (President of the Now South Wales Legislative Council), Sir Wigram Allen (Speaker of Assembly), and many others. The proposed picnic by the British ex hibitors has fallen through, as many of the leading representatives of English houses discountenanced the idea. The weather has beeu threatening all day. The various English and foreign men-of war now in harbour will be illuminated to-night. Evening. The arrangements which were made for the opening of the Exhibition were gener ally excellent. No hitch of any kind occurred. The streets were thronged by crowds of people, whe were very orderly. Brilliant illuminations took place in the harbour, the sky being clear. There were numerous spectators.

The Murderer Joe.

YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINOS,

(Oeforo R, C. Baratow, Esq., E.M.)

A summary of the principal evidence vras given last evening with tho exception of that of Mrs Janet McDowell, of Upper (Jueen-street, who identified the axo as the property of Mr Win. McDowell, her hus band. She u?ed it for chopping, and left it close to tho bucK door of her house.

Tho depositions wore then read over to the prisoner by Mr Thurston, tho inter preter, and was perfectly understood by tho prisoner, who, on being cautioned, nodded iua head, and said ho should hnvo some thing to Bay at another time in his defence. ATTEMPT TO MURDEIi GIBSON WOOLCOTT.

The prisoner was then charged in duo form with unlawfully And felo niously attempting to kill and murder, on the 27th September, 1880, one Gibaon Woolcott, with intent iv bo doing then and thereby, feloniously, willfully, and of hia malice aforethought, to kill and murder tho said Gibson Woolcott, contrary to the form of the statute in that case made and provided." la this clan the ovidence of Constable Gordon was taken. Ho saw the prisoner going along Upper Queen-stroet with the axe on his shoulder. Witness stopped pri soner and interrogated him about tho pos session of the axe, but as he intimated that he got it from Mr Saukey.a in Kokoby-street he allowed him to pass on. Richard Sankey, aged 14, repeated tho evidence he gave at tho inquest; also, his brother, Daniel, two years youngor. Superintcndant Thomson deposed that ho accompanied the prisoner to Mr Sankey's house yesterday, aud went to tho room where Gibson Woolcott was lying in bed. He clearly and at once identified tho prisoner as the man who had assaulted him with an uxe on Monday uight. To save unnecessary pain to tho lad I put the ques tion direct, and he answered "I do." Gibson Woolcott is not in a fit state to be moved in consequence of the injuries received at the hands of tho prisoner, 1 may mention that Mr Fardy and myself ware very reluctant to go near tho boy in his present state; but as your Worship is aware it was absolutely necessary in order to have the prisoner fully identified. Edmund Thomas Woolcott deposed that ho was a planter, recently from Fiji. Tho prisoner Joe was his servant. Was a native of tho island of Apia, and had been in witness's service sinco March, 1871. tlo could not account for his conduct in any way.

Sergeant Fleming repeated his statement as to finding the axe in Mr Sankey's yard. The depositions were read over to tho prisoner, as in the former case, and the Court rose.

THIS DAY.

ASSAULT ON MRS ARNOLD.

The prisoner Was again placed in the dock and seemed to maintain tho same in difference to his position. The Court was filled by spectators, anxious to satisfy their morbid curiosity by gazing at the prisoner. Dr. Hooper, duly qualified medical prac titioner, of Auckland, was examined as to the state of Gibson Woolcott. He de scribed tho wound as very danger ous, and likely to cause death. He could not,| however, positively say what the result might be. There was but slight hope of his recovery. The wound was between four and five inches in length, ex posing the brain. The. third charge was then preferred against the prisoner, Joe.: That bo, on the 2Sth day of September, at Auckland, did unlawfully and feloniously assault Martha Arnold, with intent and with malice afore thought' to kill and murder the said Martha Arnold, contrary to the form of the statute in snch case made and provided.

Martha Arnold, widow, residing at Water Hill, North Road, deposed to going to Mr Melvillo's place on Tuesday morning lost to wash.

Hero the witness looked slightly round, and on seeing the prisoner trembled very much.

Sub-Inspector Pardy told Mrs Arnold not to fear the prisoner, as he could do her ne further injury, and to assure her of her safety a constable stood beetween prisoner and witness.

Mr.i Arnold then proceeded with her statement : The prisoner was crouching in a corner, and, not liking to disturb hiin,sho said tohiru "Never mini," and went on with her washing. As he continued standing, she brought him a chair to sit upon. She fancied that he was waiting to be net to work by Mr Melville. On goiug out to haug a curtain on the line, she asked a servant, Lizzie, if she knew that a black man was in the wash-house. Lizzie peeped in and saw him. She appeared frightened, and ran into the house.

Witness, who was very weak and tremu lous, and accommodated with a chair, proceeded to state the facts in order as they occurred; the attempt to strike Mr Melville; the saving of the children; and the several murderous attacks upon her, as previously published in the Star. She was aiter wards taken to the Asylum where her wounds and bruises were attended to by Dr Young. She did nothing to provoke him, only gave him a chair to sit dtwn, as tho poor fellow seemed tired. Thomas Melville, of Mount Albert, de posed to being informed on Tuesday morn ing that a coloured man was in his wash house. He went to see what ho wanted. Prisoner was standing close to tho door. Asked him what he w.anted, but he made no reply. Told him. to clear out, when prisoner began to move a little. He saw, for tbe first time, that he had an axe in his hand—and seemed as though about to make an attack upon him. He ran into the house ; the prisoner chasing him. He next heard Mrs Arnold screaming, and went out py the front door to help her. Sho was lying on her back, and prisoner over her with the axe, about to make a blow at her. Witness picked up a piece of wood, and made a rush at prisoner. Tho wood was struck by the axe, and fell out of his hand. Picked it up and prepared to meet an impending blow. Broke the axe-handle. Struck prisoner a blow with the wood, and knocked him down. Gave prisoner another blow, when Mrs Melville came out with the revolver. He then cowed the prisoner, secured him with a rope, aud held him nntil assistance came.

Alexander Young, duly qualified medical practitioner, of the Whau Asylum, deposed to the reception of Mrs Arnold, and to the nature of her wounds inflicted by the pri soner. She was very faint from loss of blood.

To His Worship : Saw the prisoner at the Asylum. There was nothing in his manner or appearance leading to a belief that he was insane.

This concluded the evidence,

Tho prisoner, who reserved bis defence, was fully committed for trial o:i the three charges—one tor wilful murder and two for unlawfully wounding. The prisoner said he understood, nodded his head, [and was removed from the dock.

Kaipara News and Northern Intelligence.

The engineer of the City of Cork is per plexed to account for the erratic behaviour of his steamer. When there are lawyers and policemen a-board she won't stand Up straight. A lawyer thinks it is for too want of an " upright" judge in the party. The already numerous floet of coasting steamers on the Wairoa has been aug mented by the arrival of the Bee, Captain Causely. The Bee lay wind-bound last night at the mouth of the river. _ The brigantine Ethel was on a soft mud bank yesterday near the Heads; sho ia outward bound and will probably be off to*day. The Chess Club, which meets at Walker's Kaipara Hotel every Friday night, play with undiminished ardour. " Who is going to break the hice with a-im?" asked the irrepressible youth at Walker's Hotel last night as a party sat in silence round the piano, waiting'for the concert to begin. Telegraph communication was suspended yesterday beyond Port Albert owing to a break in the wires.

The vine-growers arrived safely at Darga villc, and have a spleudid stock of vine cuttings obtained from Mr Keals, and other celebrated vineries. They were forwarded up to their destination in the s.». Taagihna. Mr Wilson, of Northern Wairoa, made 600 £(allons of wine from his last year's The Dargaville cricket club has collapsed. The following vessels are loading in the Kaipara :—At Aratapu, the barque Ohira, for Melbournejbrigautine Jame3 A.Stewart, for Adelaide ; and the brig Transport/for Newcastle. At Kopuru : brigantine Darcy Pratt, for Southern Ports; and schooner Marmiou, lor Dunediu, and Torea, for Lyttelton. At the Heads are lying the topsail ketch Edith Reid, and the Ethel, outward bound. . The railway embankment below the Jiai para Hotel continues to subside. Maories at Kaipara have been building a church to seat 250 natives, towards which congregation the population in the immediate neighbourhood numbers oiily •about fifty, and contributes about, thirty

church-goers. They succeeded in extract- ( ing a cheque from Mr Lamb previous to his going to the Court-house, and attribute his gaining the case to his gift offering to the Lord. What will Mr Hesketh say to that t A Maori accosted a witness in Mr Lamb's case at Helensville, and asked for a sub scription for the church. The latter said he had only a sixpence. " Give that to me," retorted the Maori, "mo drink health of dem church."

Why are thore so many cattle lost in the Iliverliead 1 Because they go blind looking for grass, aud cannot iiad their way home again (Bach). When Her Majesty's railway-train arrives at Ilolciihvillo with lady passongcrs, Mr King kindly advances with a gin case (empty of course), by the aid of which lair travellers are enabled to dismount without fear of spraining their ankles or pitchiug head first on to the ballast. When is that plattorm going to be built? There are three cricket clubs on the Wairoa, one at each of tho following places: Mangawharc, Aratapu, and Mitutai. The Uelonsvillo Cricket Club consists of 32 members; the Key Mr Smcaton is cap tain of the team. The cricket ground is situated on Stewart's Flat. A scratch match was played yesterday. It is proposed to form a company for the purpose of building a public hall near tho railway station, Helenßvillo South, the com pany to consist of 250 shares (£1). As soon as sufficient shares aro taken up a public meeting will be hold. Already 150 shares have been applied for. It is confidently ex pected thai; a good dividend will be paid upon the capital invested. Mr Foster, manager of Mr Slater's estate near Helensvillo, saw four magpies ily out ot the bash yesterday and settle ou tho oat patch. Somo years ago Mr blatter libe rated several. They are believed to bo breeding in tho bush. Mr O'Connor's new hotel at Aratapu opens to-dny. Yesterday a party of Maoris voyaged down tho Wairoa river en route tor Aratapu, attracted by the rumour that the ncv hotel would start with open house, and that free drinks would bo the order of tho day. It la belioved that a practical joko has been played on them. MR McLEOD'S HORSK KILLED.

Last night a valuable horse belonging to Mr McLcod was killed uuder the following cirenmstances:— Tho horse had beeu en gaged hauling logs, and was attached to an endless chain, some of the shackles broke. The_ startled horse darted away. The chains affixed to his harness still further frightened the animal, which galloped along tho railway as far as the bridge, when it turned up the high bank. On arriving at tho top the horse appeared to become aware he was wandering from the path ot duty, tor he wheeled round and gazed at the pi'lo of logs requiring to bo hoisted. Suddenly he gave a leap mto the air in tho direction of his unfinished work, pitched head over heels down tho bank, and broke his neck.

. Tho lady principal of the Girls' High School has resigned.

I dislike so much a position which a semi-official interview places me, in that I wish not to be placed in such a position again. I have, therefore, tendered the secretary my resignation,"

ORGAN RECITAL AT ST. MARY'S, PARNELL.

A distingue and* fashionable audience crowded this well-appointed church last evening to give car to a choice selection of vocal and instrumental music. In the choral hymn "From all that dwell below the skies," the work of Dr. "Walmsley, the lead off was promptly taken and sustained throughout. Solo No. 1 was very pretty, and well rendered. Mr Coatea made a bit in the tenor solo " O House of Jacob " (Benedict), though surely the gentleman could have made a more judicious selection that would bave suited his voice better. In the trio "Hearts Feel that Love Thee" ("iAthalie ") a nice mezzo ladies' voice was heard prettUylntonatingthebrazurapassages —indicative of long practice. Organ solo No. 2 was excellent as a performance, but the whole power of the instrument should bave discoursed in a well-known selection of this kind, which ought to be replete with bold declamation, the finale especially finishing very tamely. Solo contralto, "My Soul doth Magnify the Lord," Placida. This shewed a marked precision in ensemble, which most deservedly commended itself to a crowded auditory which filled the remotest seats. The solo itself calls for no special comment. Anthem, "Judge me, Oh God." Here the bas? voices dominated over much, whilst one lady was singing very wide of the mark, nevertheless it was much liked. Solo tenor, "Refrain thy Voice." About this the critics seemed to differ. "We do not think it was well deli vered. The duet, "Children Pray this Love to Cherish," (Spohr), was sweet ! and low, and really beautifully ren

dered. GouuoiTh "Meditation is a wonderful broad conception, of course, and those who aro paid to know will re< member this composition and tl<c fiasco which ended it at the festival of the three choirs, even though Lyall, Archer, and Kellog did their level best from start to finish, and here, as elsewhere, again the strings wanted more resin, being out of gear of a verity. The gentleman who officiated at the organ, however, was giving hia hearers a treat. Duet and chorus, "Come, Magnify the Lord " (Carter). Here the bass and tenor voices seemed to completely din away, when in a florid work of this kind they were most wanted to sustain. The duet was splendidly given, and may bo likened to Sullivan's latest, " Chausonette " and the timbre, natural and well-measured declamation, together with tke most dis tinct enunciation exhibited in the aforesaid duet, sent those ladies to the top of the class, and stamped it as the. best business of the night. Quartette, "Tako Heed, Watch and Pray"- Immanucl. This was much too hurried, in fact the slower tbo bettor for any number of Henry Leslie. One lady in particular was listened to with deep interest, and auch notes could only bo excelled by the fair Albanian, or German Knm, with perfumed breath and kirtled Jupon. " Hear My Prayer," soprano solo and chorus (MendelasDhn), was fairly exe cuted. Anthem " How Lovely are Thy Dwellings l'"air," (Spohr). The open ing solo lent prestige to the whole thing, and was sung most exquisitely, the choir also keep ing good and effectual company. Last but not least a new setting of "I Hear Tlico Speak of a Hotter Land" was offered. Wo havo heard threo since 1870, " but no matter." The lady has a sweet voice, aud scored a great success with out the least effort apparently, omitting that nova formiua which cling to the stylo of so muny aspirants. Conclusion— "Crown Him Lord of All," John Wesley; and all honor to his name for handing down to posterity poetry, nothing short of it, set to music. It was a fitting and well-chosen sequel to the foregoing prologue, judiciously selected by the Itov. Dr Maunsoll. One special feature in last evening's performance worthy of notice was the accompaniments by Mr Slater. Mr Walker conducted effi ciently.
