BY TELEQItAPH, FEOM ODE OWN ItEPOIU'EB.]

WELLINGTON, this day. The authorities having abandoned tho idea of prosecuting Miss Bligh (who eloped from Christchurch with IHondorson) she will re* turn home as soon as she is sufficiently recovered. In view of her return, Mr Andrews, M.H.R, has set on toot a sub* scription, and has already raised between foi ty and fifty pounds.

AUOUST 16.)

Those who took an interest in tho some what romantic case in which Matthew Hen derson and a Miss Bligh played prominent parts, and which has occupied the attention of the Resident Magistrate almost daily during the ciiirent week, will be scarcely prepared to hear that it has been brought to a terrible end, and that Henderson des troyed his own life, and Ivery nearly suc ceeded in taking away that of the unfortu nate young woman who was simple onoush to trust him, although there was every reason for suspecting that she was only a toy in his hands. It will be remembered that Henderson and Miss Bligh came to Wellington in tho Union steamer laiaroa, by w Inch they had booked their passages through to Auckland, and from thence to San Francisco, under the name of Mr and Mrs Terry, and that the former was arrested on Sunday by Chief Detective Browne, on a charge of deserting his wife and family at Christchurch. He was brought up in tho Resident Magistrate's Court, but released, not because he declared he was not married, but because it was found that he could not be legally detained without producing the warrant for hia arrest. Immediately after his liberation, he was re-arrested on a charge of embezzle ment and larceny-asa bailee which had been laid against Jiim at Christchurch. On the first occasion it was found that ho had two six-chamber revolvers and £200 in gold about him, neither of which was returned to him on his liberation. The second charge was not heard, as tho warrant for the arrest had not arrived from Christchurch, and in the meantime he was enlarged on bail, a Canterbury member of the House of Repre sentatives "entering into a bond for £300 on his behalf. During the early part of his stay here Henderson had taken rooms for himself and Miss Bligh at Orr's dining, rooms, but, toeing identified, ho was re quested to leave. On Tuesday they went to the Empire Hotel, where they asked for lunch. They went out afterwards, and on re turning it was noticed that Miss Bligh wore a weddiug ring. Their stay being pro longed, Mr Lichtscheindl found himself obliged to give them a sitting and bed-room in the private part of the hotel for the night. They had breakfast at the usual time, and did not then excite any suspicions as to their intentions. Shortly after breakfast Henderson took a bottle of lemonade into the sitting-room. When Henderson's case was called in tho Resident Magistrate's Court shortly after 10.30 a.m., he failed to surrender to his # bail, and a warrant was therefqre issued for his arrest, and en trusted to Detective Brown for execution. This officer at once proceeded to tho Empire Hotel, where ho inquired for Henderson. In reply he was directed to the rooms occu pied by him. He knocked at the door, and failing to obtain admittance, tried to open it, but found that it was locked.

A GURGLING SOUND then attracted his attention. A moment's listening then convinced him that things were not as they should be, and he there fore hastily sought the landlord. The two then found that another door leading to the apartments was not locked, and they unhesitatingly entered. The sight that met them realised the detective's suspicions to tho fullest extent, for on the bed they saw Henderson and Miss Bligh lying, dressed as if they were about to take a walk, but writhing in all the agony which strychnine poisoning is well known to inflict. The position was taken in at a glance. Detective Browne ran downstairs, jumped into the nearest cab, and drove up Willis-atreer, in order to bring down Drs. Harding and Collins, while a servant was at the same time despatched for Dr. Diver. The three gentlemen wore fortunately found_ at home, and hastened to give all the assistance that lay in their power, taking with them the usual ap pliances. Upon their arrival, Dr. Diver attended to Miss Bligh, while Drs. Harding and Colling undertook to treat Henderson, Detective Browne and one or two others giving whatever assistance was required. Both were made to swallow emetics, the stomach pump being also freely applied, but it soon became apparent that there was no hope of saving the man, who had apparently taken a large quantity of the poison. Dr. Diver succeeded in making hif» patient vomit very freely, and he soon harl reason for,enter taining hopes that she would recover. While she was being treated by him she made repeated attempts to speak, but only succeeded in uttering a few very disjointed sentences. Once fihe was understood to say, "He forced me to take it." At other times she called upon her mother to forgive her for her folly. At noon there was good reason to believe that she would recover. All hopes of saving the man were abandoned at that time, for, although a largo quantity of liquid was extracted from his stomach his system had absorbed sufficient to defy the skill of the medical men. Gradually

THE FEARFUL SPASMS which attend strychnine poisoning became more frequent, at the same time growing in violence, and at 12.30 he breathed his last. Miss Blyth continued to improve, and by 3 o'clock Dr. Diver, who had remained with her till then, was able to pronounce her out of all ordinary danger. Shortly after that time she was able to take some broth, and a little later on to speak, though in a very feeble voice. She asked where "he " was, and being told that he was in another room, sho again expressed regret for her foolishness, and said she wanted to go back to her mother. It was also learnt from her that the poison was brought up from Chriatcnurch. The bottle of lemonade which Henderson took into the aittiDgroom was evidently used to dissolve the strychnine. He probably poured a quantity of the liquid into a tumbler, and then put in the poison, and having stirrod it tip divided the mixtures intotwo parts, giving one to Miss Bli^h, ho himself taking the other. As strychnine does not dissolve very readily and sinks to the bottom in any liquid, it is inferred that he kept the tumbler containing the bulk of the drug, and that Miss Bligh swa)!owed a much smaller quantity than he imagined.

MISS BLIGH'S STORY.

(FROM THE " EVENING CHRONICLE.")

Miss Bligh states that Henderson, on being released from custody, at once sug gested to her the advisability of committing suicide. He said that it would be impossi ble for hor again to return to Christchurch without being subject to slander and dis- Trace. For himself he preferred to sacrifice hia life rather than bear the ignominy of a felon's doom. He had embezzled money, which would surely result in his imprison ment were he to stand his trial. His life, Henderson added, had been ruined through the conduct of his first wife, who had proved unfaithful to him and had run away. Tbis occurred many years ago, and since then he had neitherseen nor heard of her. He married a second time, 1 but he had not experienced symptoms of lovo for his second wife, and this lead to unhappiness. He wished to commence the world jinew, and for that purpose was seeking a new field in San Francisco, whither he was bound when arrested. In his presence Mis 3 Bligh, the unfortunate victim of tho wretch's machinations seems to have had no control over herself, and was totally un able to resist his wicked and insane proposal. He bad premeditated the catas trophe, for before leaving Christchurch he had armed himself with a six-barrelled rovolver, with which it has transpired ho intended to shoot Miss Bligh, and then blow his own brains out. Luckily this scheme was frustrated, through the acute ness of Uhief Detective Brown in taking possession of the instrument. It is also thought that the fatal strychnine was brought from Christchurch. It will bo seen that the diabolical and awful act had been premeditated. Miss Bligh never lost her consciousness, and states that they had taken the poison only five minutes, when the detective arrived. A feeling of dim ness seized her, but she recollected seeing Mr Brown enter the chamber, and narrated all that subsequently transpired. She in quired whether Henderson was dead during last night, and upon Mr Brown replying that he had been taken to the Hospital in a dangerous state, and was not expected to recover, she said she did not care to see him again, as she recognised her folly in being persuaded by him to have acted in the manner she did.

Wheu a young man says he is going to the Park to sco the tulips, look him squarely in the eye and ask suddenly, "Which two?" It takes 'cm every time.

Sporting Adventures and New Zealand Scenes.

Messrs. Wates.Buckwateb, Tim WriiFF.

lee, and De Foe,

A JOIjLY party of four gentlemen spending a convivial evening at the house of Mr Tim Whifller, resolved to go in for a season's pheasant shooting, and arranged that all should unite on the iirst and last days of the season, and shoot in company* It was furthermore unanimously agreed that the shooting season be wound up in due form and ceremony with a grand supper, to which all sportsmen should be invited; that each should be asked to narrate his adveu turcs ; and it was resolved to invite gentle men to make any euggestions calculated to advance tho interests of sportsmen. Of tho above-named four only two of the number could boast of any experience in tho noble art of pheasant shooting ; but it was their glowing description of tho sport which roused the spirit of the others, and made them ardent for tho season to open, Mr Tim Whilller, the host and senior mcin bar of the party, was a portly old gent, who had retired from the worries of commercial 1 ife. He was six feet high, brnad shouldered, with a capacious wcll-lilled vest. VVc should remark, in tho strictest conlidence, that good living had handicapped him too heavily for sporting purposes. Mr Bob Wates, on the contrary, was of a slim, mus cular build, able for any amouut of walking through the roughest country, and was known to fame a3 oue of the most successful shots in the district, and he prided himself on having the best dog iv tho colony. The third member of the party was a genteel gentleman of exemplary personal appearance, whose feelings were always much shocked by the appearance of mud on his well polished boots, while his highly cultivated organ of ideality rendered him very sensitive to any rulllc or stain on his unique attire. He was Mr De Foe, descended in a straight line from the author of Robinson Crusoe, as ho could prove in the most indisputable manner. By reason of his aristocratic style, and very gentlemanly deportment, he hud escaped the application of his Christian name, though his companions were called by theirs in tho most abbreviated form. The fourth member of the party was a happy go-lucky sportsman, of the most genial temper the world has over seen, always ready with a kind word—Mr Bill Buck water, tie was another successful shot, a sturdy rival of Mr Wates, though they were fast friends, and the rivalry, though it raged fiercely, was well tempered with good humour and mutual congratulations. Mr Buckwater, like Mr Whiiller, treated his hearers at times to some pretty hot language, neither found in Lindley Murray nor taught in the Sunday-school. Our sporting friends havingunauimously decided on their mode of procedure, made active preparations for the coming sports, and anxious surmises were made as to the pro babilities of line weather on the Ist of May. There were, of course, some heavy bets as to who would make the biggest bng. Mr WhifUer had not fired n. shot for forty years. When young, he had killed a cock sparrow and several other iunocent birds which are known to sit quietly on trees. Neverthe less his sanguine disposition led him to think he could surpass the elforts of all the rest. He had spent the best part of a month practising aiming nlotig tho gun while at home. By following with his gun tho flight of an imaginary pheasant, he had committed great havoc. Ho had swept all the vases oil" the mantlepiece. broken a mirror, and other valuables. This, however, was not to be wondered at, nor did he grieve ; he felt amply compensated by tho knowledge that he had thereby perfected his power of aim ; he could close his left eye as he glanced along the barrel with his right eye, and he had, after much practise, succeeded in keep ing his right eye open while lie pulled the trigger and exploded a cap. He had made a knowing choice of a gun, selecting tho largest bore, and the largcut single barrelled fowiing-piece he could lind iv Evitt's shop. He had tested the shooting qualities of his invincible firearm at Hazard's shooting gallery, and as he stood, tumbler in hand, on "Pheasant Season Kve," drinking suc cess to their shooting expedition, is it to be wondered that the thermometer of his shoot ing ardour rose and that he backed himself to shoot the most birds of the lot. Mr Whiffler told them he was quite sure he would knock down every blooming bird tdat rose, and he'd be buttered if he didn't lick the lot of them. He would show them linw to shoot pheasants. Both Messrs Wates aud Buckwater looked a bit irri tated; the latter remarked with a laugh, he did not suppose Mr Whilller could hit a hay stack, or an engine with his single barralled blunderbuss that he called a gun. Mr Whifller, forgetful of tho bonds of friendship, put up his big fist, and said he had a great mind to hit Mr Buckwater on his double-barrelled nose. The impulsive Buckwater was proceeding to take oil' his coat. A tremendous pugilistic encounter threatened to mar the harmony of the brotherhood, while on the very threshold of sport, when the aristocratic and talented De Foe, with great tact remarked, that as the season opened next day it was a, pity to injure one another's eyesight: they should have their sport first, bag their game, and light for the champion ship of the world afterwards. All laughed at this suggestion, and Mr Whifller, who, though blunt, was really a kind-hearted man. apologised, shook hands with his aggrieved friend, and insisted on shouting champagne. May 1. The shooting party had little sleep that night. Mr Whiffler spent some hours in his night-dress with his blunderbuss, walk ing up and down the bedroom, practising niraiog at birds on the wing He opened and shut his eyes in the moat dexterous man ner, and was much gratified with his skill. The police, observing on the blind the shadow of a gun pointed repeatedly, waited with palpitating heart for the discharge. Many people had gathered in front of the window, astonished at the extraordinary shadows on the blind, while Mr Whiffler, unconscious of the notoriety he created, at length lay down to sleep. But his eye 3 were opening and shutting even in his sleep in the most approved manner. May Ist was foggy and cold, and as the four sportsmen Were driving toward their shoot ing grouud several hours before daylight, they became benumbed with cold, and Mr Whifller whispered in confidence to Mr De Foe that he almost wished he had stayed in bed. They commenced operations in a distant settlement; the ground was chiefly undulating. (Mr Whiffler termed it moun tainous.) There were some pretty steep ranges. It was rather hard shooting ground, there being bo much fern, and so many stumps, but there were plenty of birds. Half-an-hour after daylight Mr Wales and and Backwater had walked right away from the other two, who, with characteristic peculiarity, went each his own way. JIB WHIFFLER. Mr Whifller was stalking like an elephant over every obstacle, smashing fences, rolling in ditches,- catching his feet in the fern and falling heavily every fifty yards. Dozens of birds rose, but to his astonish ment When he put the gun_ to his shoulder, his eyes would not act right—tho right eye closed aud the left opened, or both would close in the most vexatious manner, and while the old gent was getting his eyes into proper position the pheasants flew away with such speed that he could not in the most remote manner get sight of them along the gun. Mr Whifller struggled on over logs, over hedges, over ploughed land—his lace was red, his clothes were torn, he was tired, worried, and flurried, and still like a Briton he kept on, ;blunderbuss in hand, eagerly watching for birds to rise, aud as each pheasant took wing, up went the gun, and Mr Whifllers face underwent most ex traordinary contortions as he ".tried to get those obstinate (" blooming,"j he called them) eyes of his to see properly. A remark able circumstance in connection with the route he took was that he travelled in circles, and by some unexplained action of tho organ of locality or some other faculty, each circle brought him nearer and nearer to the hotel, which was to be the night's rendezvous. Although he had a good view of the "pub" from tho high ground he stepped over, still no one would be bold enough to affirm that his kuowledge of the position of the house had any influ ence on his movements—such would be a base insinuation, for just as he felt quite exhausted, he happened to look up, and. ex claimed with, apparent astonishment,, "Hello! I'm back to tho hotel! Who would have thought it ?" A few minutes afterwards two mounted messengers left the hotel. One bore Mr Whifiler's game bag (empty), and the other a sack. Said one : " How much did he offer? Oh; five shil lings for every pheasant we brought him by three o'clock." They visited every poacher's house in the district, and by three o'clock returned. The sack had something in it, and Mr Whiffler's game bag was full! said Mr Whiffler, " how many have you got?" "Twenty-two pheasants, sir I" "Good," said the delighted Mr Whiffler, " now lads bring 'em to the buck of the bush and I will give the finishing touch to my bag." With surprise the country bump kins witnessed the finishing touch given by the ingenious and never-to-be-licked. Whill ler. Ho measured fifty yards, at which distance he tied up one of the birds, after carefully adjusting bis blunderbuss to bis

shoulder, he contrived to jam1 down in the most effectual manner the lid of his left eye, and after a somewhat prolonged Ana. violent exertion he succeeded in forcing hia right open, and though he trembled exceed ingly as he proceeded to pull the trigger and'firc his first shot, he felt that the eyes of the World were on him, so after uttering a short prayer for his safety, he wound up his energy to fire off the gun, and after dreadful suspense the fingers at length performed their duty, and "bang" went the gun. The effort of pulling tho trigger and the dread ofthe discharge had caused the ingenious Whiffler to forget his right eye, and that organ had ceased to perform its functions, the gun had swung round, aud on its going off, a team of horses attached to a plough in an adjoining paddock went off too, and the driver devoted the remainder of the day to picking No. 2 shot with his penknife out of the noble animals' backs. When the ploughman told Mr Whiffler what had happened, and when Mr Whiffler saw that the horses were duo West, and the bird lie aimed at was by the compass due South, he indignantly and very properly knocked him down. Mr Whilller went on shooting his uheasants, but tho sound of the other discharges was such as to warrant belief in tho statement of one of the hotel men that he loaded only with powder and with very little of tbat. Mr Whiffler fired at fourteen individual pheasants, and then, tiring of it, resolved to shoot the remaining eight at oue aliot, so he had them tied a foot apart, say ing he would move tho gun along the row as he fired, so as to scatter the shot, and, as he passed the gun along, ho would dis tribute a little shot into each bird. By this means Mr Whiffler's conscientious scruples were quieted; he had shot twenty-two pheasants with his own gun, bagged them with his own hands, and now he carried them on his own broad back to tho hotel.

Mr Whiillor was delighted with himself as he resumed his lounge on the sofa, with his head buck, and his eyes fixed straight ud to the ceiling. His face was irradiated with a joyous smile, which seemed to say, "Mr Whifllcr.you havo this day shown your muster mind, and can prove the wisdom of your choice of a cun—eight birds with one shot. They were all in a row, nud I passed the gun from tho Hist to the second, aud so on, till I scattered the shot along them and killed the lot. Ah lah I ah 1" roared Mr Whifller, " lau't it splendid; and the birds were in a field—it's all quite natural-like—all up against the hedge. They'll never guess how it was done. Ah ! ah I ah I" roared Mr Whiillor again, " Won't I sell Billy Buckwater ; and not even that clever fellow De Foe cau guess it, with all his great learning, for ho is a smart 'un." MR DE FOE. Meanwhile Mr Do Foe had shown marked partiality for well beaten tracks aud open clearings. He stepped carefully round every puddle of water, studiously avoided burnt ti-tree and blackened stumps; still he was well on the alert, and n<adc feathers ily more than ouce. Several birds he would have secured with a good dog, without which pheasant-shooting is a delusion and a snare. Ho grew weary and disgusted. Stopping at a neat-looking villa, he politely lifted his hat to a lady on the verandah, and on his pausing, and remarking that he felt very f.itigucd, she kindly invited him in. Mr iJe Foe's pleasing address soon put him on a good footiug with all the ladies of the household. As the guv was viewed with alarm by them our sport ing friend very kindly consented u«)t only to tfxtract tho charge, but he won golden opinions for considerate uess by actually walking a hundred yards distance and placing the dangerous firearm in a barn. The ladies' apprehensions being now completely set at rest, they wero ablo to bring forward refreshments, while music and other refined amusements were next indulged in. Tho day wore on—perhaps the distance he was from the gun weakened his remembrance of the purport of his trip to the country—something certainly had that effect.

In my next paper I shall recount tho deeds of those redoubtable sportsmen, Messrs. Wates and Buckwater.

STOKES' POINT PUBLIC MEETING.

LAST night, at 7 o'clock, according to pre vious announcement, there was a largo attendance of the residents of the district assembled at the school, and the chairman of the Highway Board, Mr W. F. Ham moud, commenced the proceedings by con" gratulatiug the assembly for their display of interest, as their punctuality in »t ---tendnnce wus a sign that they were fully impressed with the importance of the trust which they were called together to take over. He referred to the correspondence, the application to the Commissioners of Waste Lands Cor the grant of 122 acres, and their ready compliance with the wishes of the residents to set apart a valuable site for a cemetery of 10 acres, and the remainder for recreation purposes. The chairman gave a brief description of the importance of public reserves, showing that the ancient Greeks first acquired tho taste of laying out their forests, clearing open spaces for their renowned games, conserving as much of the natural timber and water-courses where the antelopes and sheep roved, which afforded a pleasant resort for the population of their cities. He gave a description of the parks around London, describing their area, the largest being 406 acres, the Regent Park. Mr Hammond said it behoved them as pioneers of this rising district to give signal effect to the gitt which they were promised, and said they could at least congratulate themselves that they would be the means of saving their successors from having to depend upon private liberality in acquiring a park such as might be instanced in many of the large towns in Great Britain, and referred to the town of Birmingham, with its Aaton Hall and lands, which had been given by a patriot for the benefit of his townspeople. The first duty was to acknow ledge the gift, and Major Benton gave effect to the importance of the subject, referring to the value of parks at home, and said that he knew well what a boon they were, and proposed the following resolution : "The residents and propertyholdew of Stokes' Point beg to thank the Honorable Board of Waste Lands for the grant of 122 acres as a cemetery and recreation reserve, and they pledge themselves to take the necessary steps in giving full effect to the gift by establishing acommittce to deyelope the land for the public benefit." This was seconded by Mr Wilson and carried with acclamation. —TheKev. MrMcCallum, who had just arrived here, gave expressions of pleasure at being at such a fully-attended and influential meeting, and gave much in teresting information upon the subject, and related an account of a great park in America. "In 1864 Congress enacted that the cleft or gorge in the granite peak of the Sierras—ls miles in length, and 1 mile back, with its spurs and canons, and edges of the precipices on all sides—be granted for public use to the state of California and that the State accept this gift on the conditions that the land shall bo held for public benefit as a resort for recreation and inalienable for all timo.—The Chairman directed the attention of the meeting to the pointing out the spot for the cemetery in compliance with the Commissioners' direc tions, and said before appointing a com mittee it was due to them all to have a voice in the matter, and after an animated discussion Mr Thompson, and Mr Johnson irioviug that it should be at the northern corner of the block, and the Key. Mr McCallum and Mr Johnston, moving an amendment that it should be at the nearest (southern) corner. On being put to the vote 15 decided upon the amendment and 5 to the original motiou; and ultimately, a general kindly fesling prevailed that the 1 nearest corner was the best as it was a very lofty position, and having a small wooded gulley would at least preseut an artistic teature in tho district. The distance is a little under three miles from the present ferry. A committee was next formed as a Cemetery Committee and Trustees, and the following gentlemen were elected : — Messrs T. Buddie, Hilditch, Wilson, J. Johnson, and Hammoad, whom they elected as [chairman. Next it was decided to make a committee ot ten for the park. This at first was thought too many, but it wa3 at last carried as being an expression of the interest and earnestness to make the work a reality at once. Thirteen gentlemen were nominated and the following were elected : Messrs T. Buddie, K. Johnson, Wernham, Parish, Gee, Thompson, McCallum, Roach, Wil son, and Dickens. Mr Thompson was after wards elected amongst them as chairman. This being tho formal business of the even ing a general and animated discussion took place with the most hearty goop-feeling as to the various ways the land could bo made an attractive means of retreat for the citi zens of Auckland—as a future domain for recreation and the culture and preservation of native timber and shrubs; also for the establishment of plants suitable for the climate of Auckland. The meeting broke up at about 9.30. A vote of thanks being accorded to the chairman, the company separated on their different ways as the moon was grandly rising, and presenting the city and harbour as a. panoramic scene which tho northern clifl's command from many points. Mr Hilditch returned in his boat to Auckland, having kindly put at the service of anyone wishing to return, on ac count of there not being a late steamer. This, no doubt, will soon be remedied.

Arrival of the Suez Mail at Albany.

(Pee Albion at Russell.) THE IRISH COMPENSATION BILL. Albany, August 18. The R.M.S. Bangalore arrived this even ins. LONDON. July 16. Tho Parliament is still occupied with the bill granting compensation to the evicted Irish tenants. Its progress is very slow, partly owing to the vacillation of the Government, and partly owing to the obstructionist's tactics or Mr FarnelL The tone of Mr Parnell indicates that the Irish party dictate terms to the Government, who are accused in some quarters of undue deference to the Irish extremists. The bill was originally introduced as au additional clause to tho Relief of tho Irish Distress. The bill was advocated as a relief measure, and was next transferred into a land bill amending aud developing the Act of 1878. The debate on the second reading showed that Parnell's followers were satisfied with tho measure, but the moderate supporters of the Government were alarmed. Lord LandfNOwne has resigned, and some promi nent Liberals were opposed to the measure. Several representatives of the great Whig families voted against it, and many other Liberals abstained from voting.

On the 9th ius*. the Irish Attorney General introduced nmendment giving landlords the option of escaping from the penal operations of the Bill, by offering de faulting tenants opportunity of selling their interests, their holdings, thereupontheliish party declared that amendment was worth less. Mr Gladstone was at first unmoved by their denunciations, but on tho 12th gave notice of substitution for the previous amendment. The Premier's new proposal relieves landlords from the penalties for disturbance only iv cases where ho offered tho tenant a reaspnablo alternative before proceeding to eviction, A heated dis cussion followed. Since then the Irish members have generally sided against tho Government.

A now crisis in the Eastern Quostion is rapidly approaching a culminating point. The Porto adheres to tho old dilatory tactics, nltnough it will not meet tho collective voto of the Powers by open refusal, it will cer tainly do nothing to execute tho decisions of tho Berlin Conference. It will carry on a sort of un-ollicial war aguinst Greece and Montonegro, all tho while professing inability to comply with Europcs demands. The dismissal of Osmau Pasha, a fanati cal partisan of resistance, was first re garded as a favourable sign, but this hopo waa dispelled when it became known that Osm.au Pasha remains Marshal of the Palace Guard. Skirmishing has already commenced between Montenegro and tho Albanians. The latter are the aggressors, and are undoubtedly eucournged indirectly by tho Turkish authorities. From tho outset Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, and Eastern Roumelia. have been nrming. There aro many om inous signs of impending strife observable. A strong movement is a-foot for the union of Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia is warmly supported by Russia, but is unacceptable- to Austria and Ger many. Numbers of Russian oflieers und soidiers aro arriving in Bulgaria, time repeating tho tactics followed by Russia previously to forco a Servian war. The Porte is making larger preparations against warlike eventualities in this direction than on tho side'of Greece, 80,000 men being con.centrated|at Adrianople.

AUSTRALIAN NEWS.

(Pek s.s. almon at Russell.)

SYDNEY, August 19.

It is understood the Government have formally notified to the Bank that it is in tended to make a further withdrawal of £200,000. Money being plentiful, this will cause no inconvenience. Parliament has been further prorogued to the 28th Sep tember. There will, consequently, bo no session prior to the dissolution. Candidates are presenting themselves in numcrons con stituencies preparatory to the general elec tion.

An impudent and mysterious robbery of Sold in transit from the Queensland National lank at Cooktown per steamer Vic toria to the City Bank, Sydney, was discovered on the steamer's ar rival here. Five boxes containing about 5.0G0 ounces, aud one believed to contain about 126 ounces were rifled. On it being noticed they were very light, they wero opened with special attention in the presence of witnesses by the manager of tho City Bank, and found to contain only scraps of paper. An investigation leads to tho belief that an empty box was substi tuted tor a full one between the bank and the ship at Cooktown. The lirst summary of tho Queensland Assembly took place on the 18th. MrGrillith, leader of the Opposition, pre sented a petition from certain electorsof Bris bano praying an alteration of tho turilV in order to encourage local industries. The Budget debate then commenced. Mr Griffiths moved a resolution affirming the necessity for further provision to equalise the revenue with expenditure by proposing a tax on the squatting industry. The motion was negatived by 27 to 18. The case of tlie New Zealand Insurance Co. versus the British Insurance Co., to recover for injury by tire to the premises of the former, is still proceeding.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Government introduced on the 19th a motion in favour of the imposition of duties in the Northern Territory on opium, salt, rice, fish, sugar, spirits, tobacco, cigars, snuff, wine, beer, tea, and an export duty of five shillings an ounce on gold. One member of the Houae suggested the adoption of the Singapore plau, by granting licenses for the manufac ture of the opium used by the Chineße, and spirits by tho Indians. Tho Ministers strongly objected.

VICTORIA.

The night preceding the election Mr Berry addressed a meeting at Geclong, and accused his opponent, Andrews, of appeal ing to religious intolerance. He said he oueht only to wish the English, Irish, and Scotch one great liberal parly, and com plained of the bitterness of the opposition, amounting to persecution, on account of his being a representative of the dignity and , rights of labour. The olections were conducted very quietly, and the Ministry -were uniformly successful, although the polling was close. The Catholic vote was very inelfcctual. In Geelong it scarcely amounted to 100, while at Fitzroy Valo improved his position, and Williams polled better at Eaglehawk than the last time. The following are the results :— Geelong—Berry, 1.577; Andrews, 1,527. Fitzroy—Vale, 1,798; Blackctt, 1,731. CKESWlCK—Richardaou, 2,566; O'Neil, 1,913. Mandurang—Williams, 2,513; Moore, 2,259. Seven more roturns are due, but it is unlikely they will reverse positions. The " Argus" states that Williams is very un popular among the Liberals, a largje section regarding him as a traitor. His inclusion in the Ministry is likely to cause dissensions in the party.

THE ROBBERY IN HOBSON-STREET.

An extensive robbery of jewellery, amount ing to at least £175 in value, was committed within the last fortnight at the private resi dence of Mr Henry C. Richmond, proprietor of the Nevada Hotel, consisting of gold rings, watches, etc. The articles missiug were kept in Mrs Richmond's bed-room, and as soon as tho loss was known the matter was put into the hands of tho police, and Detective Jeffrey and Constable Jones at once commissioned with the investigation of the caso. Tho pawnbrokers' shops were visited in turn, and the detectives were successful in finding the whole of the property, tho pawnbrokers' assisting to wards the discovery in giving all pos sible information, and which led to the arrest of three persons, who were brought up this morning and remanded until Thursday, when the whole of the evi dence will _be given. The prisoners arc : James Harris, a labourer, his daughter, a young girl of sixteen, and a mere child named Cecilia Carroll; whose parents, brother and sister have been a source of trouble to the police for many years. The mother of the girl Harris has frequently been convicted of petty larcenies, and the father is also known to the police, he having continually refused to obey the orders of the Court in support of his children in the In dustrial Home. The girl Carroll ha 3 been in the habit of hawking Limerick lace, and in this way, and by special pleading, assisted by tears, she influenced Mrs Richmond in her favour, who sometimes admitted her into her house in Hobson-Btreet, giving her her meals. On such occasions, it is supposed, the quick, practised eye of the girl, be came aware that a ba^; of valuables was iv the next room, ana which might, iv an ungarded moment, come into her pos session. It is surmised that one or two others are in part, if not equally, guilty of the robbery, which surmise induced

Sub-Inspector Pordy to get a remand until Thursday, when it is expected the whole of the mystery will; be brought to light.

LTEST CABLEGRAMS.

TERRIBL_ SCENES IN IRELAND.

LONDON, August 17. The state of Ireland is alarming and dis tressing. ' The London papers contain lengthy and sensational accounts of the disturbances that are taking place in various parts of the country. Rioting is general in the northern counties, and the tenantry are organising for offensive and defensive operations. They have combined for mutual protection and assistance against the landlords. The pros pects of a good harvest has stimulated the pooDle to increased activity in resisting evictions. Inflammatory speeches continue to be de livered throughout the country by excited oiators exhorting the ucople to fight for their rights. Every eviction that occurs is accompanied by acts cf violence, and fre quently rioting. RIOTS AT DUNGANNON. At Dunqannon, county Tyrone, a san guiuary riot took place. The police fired into a riotous crowd, killing several persons aud wounding others. Sceues of disorder and destruction are recorded from tho ruauy districts iv the northern counties. THE NEW AMEER. August 16, The new Ameer of Kabul, Abdul Rahman has gone to Sherpui on an official visit to the British representative there.
