For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

Mr K. J. Creighton, who still holds the position of Agent for the New Zea land Government in San Francisco, has been successful in getting through Congress a measure authorising the Postmaster-General of the United States to remit the whole charge hither to made for the conveyance of the Australian and New Zealand mails across the continent. This means a concession amounting to £16,000 a-year in favour of the continuance of the service. Mr Creighton has been in dustriously pressing the point since 1876, and has unceasingly represented the probability that without some such, aid from America the Pacific Mail Service will terminate at the expiration of the present contract in November 1883. Mr Creighton has also drawn attention to the fact with which our own postal authorities are only too familiar — that the Imperial Government favour the Brindisi and Suez route, and use all the means in their power to get corres pondence sent that way. Very strongly worded remonstrances against this practice irom the New Zealand Post master-General were included in the annual report laid before parliament last session. It is rather a curious thing that the chief opponents of Mr j Creighton's mission, and therefore the I prime supporters of the movement to drive all Australasian postal matter and trade away from America and through purely British channels, were •

the Permanent Heads of tho Postal Department of the United States. It is, perhaps, too much to expect an American official, more than an English one, to understand anything beyond tho region of red tape and sealing-wax. The extension of commerce and the opening up of new fields for American products, new sources for tho supply of raw material for Amoricim manufacturers, is a matter above and beyond them. But tho Suporintendant of Foreign Mail Service at Washington—a Mr Blackfan—appears to have been abso lutely spurred into unoflioial agilicy by tho passing of the exemption proviso through Congress. After the Bill passed tho Sonate Mr Blackfan ap peared, unsolicited, before the coin inittoo and protested. This resulted iv the clause being struck out of tho Bill in which ie was originally inserted. Senator Booth and Representative Davis, however, after making careful inquiry into tho facts, brought up tho matter again, and tho remission w>\s again sanctioned by a voto of 23 to 20. It is quite possiblo, us tho duty of putting tho clause into operation is left with the Post-Master Genera], thut its purposo may still be dofcated through ofllcial obstruction, but if ho tho United Statos Government may loam when too late that their illiberal policy lias lost the country an important commercial connection. In urging the concession before Congress tho lion. Homco Davis directed attention to the largo con sumption of American goods in tho colonies, amounting to no less than eight million dollars, It is woll-ioinoiu borocl hero that wliou Now Zealand and New South Wales undertook to ostab lish this service thoy woro oncouraged to beliovo that tho United States Co vornment, which derives tho chief benefit, would contribute to tho cost. The I'aciflc mail subsidy bills promoted by Mr Webb failed, and the uttitudo of tho Congress has since been such as to afford these colonies no encouragement to go on paying .£72,500 a yoar for tho maintenance of a service which is so little appreciated by a leading partici pant in the fruits of the enterprise. The free conveyance of mails across tho continent is a very paltry assistance to a work ofsuch consequence, but nono tho less is Mr Cktughton deserving of tho best thanks of both tho contracting colonies for his persistont assiduity in obtaining oven this manifestation from tho United States of a desire to strengthen the bond which has boon well established by tho San Francisco service. Further proof of an awakening intorest is afforded in tho greater expe dition with which the mails are pushed through. A special train was despatched with tho City of Sydney's hißt home ward mail, which overtook tho regular train at Omaha, securing a forty days' delivery from Sydney to London. Tho time with the inward mails has also been shortened two days. The improvement has not como beforo it was wanted, for with the increasing rapidity of the Suoz steamers and tho regularity of tho Orient line, Austral asian of steam and mail communication is being revolutionised, and that in a direction tho reverse) of favourable to ! tho Trans-Pacific Route.

Mr J. M. Clark intimates by advertise ment in another column, his acceptance of the requisition inviting him to become a candidate tor the ollice of Mayor. Nom inations clobo at noon to-morrow. Ther6 is, we believe, no probability of Mr Clark being opposed. His nomination paper was lodged to-day, signed by Councillors Uoldio and Crowther.

The ship Cambrian on the voyage from Sydney to San Francisco called at Pitcairn Islands, where it waa boarded by a boat's crew of ten men, who placed in the captain's hands, letters and skeiches for England. The descendants of the Bounty mutineers were reported in good health.

Mr Arthur H. Nathan has resolved to establish a business as importer and com mission agent in conjunction withhis brother Mr L. A. Nathan, who will act as buyer for the firm in England. Both gentlemen have long been known in connection with the firm of Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co., and from their thorough acquaintance with colonial requirements and the experience of Mr L. A. Nathan as a buyer in Europe, no doubt the new firm will meet with a very considerable amount of business support.

On the arrival of the ship Cambrian at San Fran cisco, from Sydney, James T. Evans, aged 19, a passenger, was arrested on a charge of having embezzled large amounts while employed in the Lands Department in Sydney. The draft tor £640 was found on Evans, and he made an assignment of it to the bank from which it issued. Sixty two sovereigns were also found on him. Evans was bnraght before Judge Ferral, when an application was made for a requisi tion under the Extradition Act of 1842, and the hearing ot the case was resumed this afternoon. Although the prisoner acknow ledged his crime when arrested, and stated his willingness to return, he, through his attorneys, made a vigorous' fight to prevent t extradition.

A deputation from the Auckland Pro gressive Spiritualistic Association boarded the, City of Sydney yesterday to receive the Hon. Dr. Peebles, the celebrated American Spiritualist, who was expected as n passenger from San Francisco. There was much disappointment when it transpired that Dr. Peebles was not a passenger, as tho Association had incurred considerab'o expense and trouble in preparing for his reception. It was fouud, however, that tke lottcr notifying Dr. Peebles' intended visit, which had been sent by Mr Terry, of Melbourne, to Mr J. 0. Wilkes, stated "that the doctor would leave not arrive by the November mail. To prevent disappointment notices were posted up announcing Dr. Peebles' non-arrival, as a lecture had been announced for last evening in the Lorne street Hall. Preparations will be made for the delivery of a lecture by Dr. Peebles on his arrival next month.

Dutchmen are usually credited with an inordinate amount of phlegm and apiithy, bnt to this as to every other rule there arc some notable exceptions. One has recently come within our ken. A true Mynheer, hailing from somewhere in tho neigh bourhood of the Zuyder Zee, re cently arrived in Auckland, aud put up at one of tho suburban hotels. He was unsuccessful in his searcli for work, and so as soon as his ready cublj had been exhausted, he was obliged to pack up and "git." Ho sought refuge iv a boarding house kept by a buxom widow of an uncertain ape. Determined to retrieve his fortunes ho ogled the fair dame at tlifl tea-table, engaged her in conversa tion afterwards, and on the very next day popped tho question. Ho was accepted,|and tho marriage followed quickly upon the heels of the engagement. The honey moon, however, was destined to be very brief. On tho day after his wedding tho uufortunato Dutchman was taken very ill, and ho was therefore removed to the Hospital, rio is now lying there suH'cring from consumption, The gods havo uot been propitious.

Two men were admitted to the Hospital at the end of lust week suffering from injuries to the knee. Ono is a German named Henry Petschkat and the other the master of the cutter Leo (Conway). It seems that the latter while walking across the plank leading from his vessel to the shore on Wednesday eyoniue hist stumbled and fell, the plank rolling after him. The principal hurt which ho sustained was a severe and jagged wound near the kneo cap.: It will be somo time ere ho can go about again.

FIRE IN MOUNT EDEN ROAD,

An alarm of fire rang out last night between '12 and 1 o'clock, and from the glare it appeared to be raging in the Mount Eden or Newmarket district. Superintendent Hughes and his men were at once in action and on their way to the scene of the fire with buckets arid other necessary appliances for extinguishing the flames. The fire was in an old house at the end of Water-street, Mount Kden Road, owned by Mr Wm. K. Edwards, but who had left it several weeks back for his new residence several hundred yards away. A young man named Richard Owen was in charge of the old house, and was sleeping there at the time of the outbreak, and accounts for the fire in the following manner :—Before retiring, he lit a candle for the purpose of reading the Bible and lay down on the bed. He fell asleep without putting out the light. Pre sently he was awakened by a cracking noise, and on opening his eyes, saw the ceiling and sideboards of the next room all ablaze, 'i he fire had taken too great a hold, and he escaped with difficulty. Mrs Dorrison, a neighbour, aroused Mr Edwards, who got up and wnnt to the place, but all efforts to save the building were vain. The house was completely destroyed. It was insured in the New Zealand Insurance. Company for j£2so. He had a mortgage of £150 upon it.~~ •

PARNELL AT CORK.

CORK, October 3rd,

The Parnell demonstration to-day was the largest ever seen since the days of Daniel O'Connell. Mr Parnell, who travelled from Thurles by the American mail train, loft the train at Blarney, six miles from Cork. He was accompanied thenco by a large escort of tenant farmers on horseback. An address of welcome was presented, and an enormous procession, with bands and banners, proceeded to Cork. At Welling ton bridge Mr Parnell was met by the Mayor and corporation, who presented him with au address. It is stated that the trade societies havo never turned outsoimposiugly since 1843. Theprocessiou took three-quarters of an hour to puss a given point. When proceedings commenced in tho park over 50,000 persons were present, while many, owing to the crush on the roads, had to abandon their intention of going to the meeting. The day was fine, and the city was a mass of flags and bunting, even the ships in the harbour aud river ilying all their colours. The effect is described as magni ficent. A curious incident occurred during the formation of the procession at Blarney. A body of Fenians, armed with revolvers, compelled two members of the Land League, rironin and O'JBrieu, to leave their carriage, and kept thoin in custody till the proceedings were over. They intended to arrest tho President of tho League, but as ho was in Parnell's carriage thoy could not get at him. O'Brien and Cronin attempted to enter live different carriages, but were violently ejected by the Fenians, who levelled their, revolvers at the obnoxious leaguers, with cries of "We have better men than you to sit behind 1 Parnell." It appears that the pure revolu tionists of Cork are willing to accede to a measure of toleration to Parnell in recogni tion of his services during tho late distress, but they are uot prepared to cxtcud a simi lar favor to his followers, who repudiate a recourse to arms for the rcdrsss of griev -4nceß. Parnell in his speech declared that landlordism, which was created for main taining English rule iv Ireland, and for the interests of tho few agaiuHt the many, must fall. Voices cried out: "AsLord Mount morris fell."

THE "TIMES" ON PARNELL AND

HIS FOLLOWERS.

London, October 4,

The "Times" in an editorial says : — " Whero Mr Parnell and his fellow agitators go they leave the country in a ilu.iii! behind them. Dooil.'i of violence aro douo which they have not suggested in express terms but which aro iv full accor dance with the Rpirit though not with the letter of their harangues, and which they scarcely ever pretend to disapprove after ward." The Land Leaguo han extended its organization to Great Britain. Symp toms of discord aro showing themselves in the county of Westmeath.

GENERAL STRIKE THREATENED

A goueral strike against rente is threatened, the Land Leaguers and Fenians havo coalesced, and enmity is increasing between Catholic and Jrotestant, and between North and South.

Dublin, Oct. 7.

The Government has ordered the barracks at Athlonc, Carlow, Sligo, and other places in West Ireland, to be prepared for the full complement of troops they are capable of accommodating,

London, October 11,

Archbishop McUabc, of Dublin, has written a personal letter, imploring the silence of those Irish leaders in whose presence threats of violence to landlords have been uttered.

A HIT AT.ENGLAND'S POLICY,

New York, October 9.

A special to the " Herald " from London says: The "Globe," a Tory organ has an excellent satire this afternoon on the naval demonstration and tho condition of Ireland. It snys :—" The Sultan is deeply moved by the social disorder now prevailing in Ire land, and the paralysis which has overtaken the Government, so that human life is in secure and property no longer protected. Bis majesty, as-one of the .European powers bility as a sovereign prince, continue to view with unconcern a condition of affairs unpa ralleled in Europe, which, by its continu ance, threatens to destroy all respect tor authority, and loosen the very bonds of civilization. His Embassador at tho court of St James will be instructed to. press upon Her Majesty's Government the expediency of adopting without delay such measures as may put an end to the state of things which cannot be protracted without danger to the common weal of Europe; and, failing an attention to these remonstrances, a division of the Turkish fleet will proceed to visit the coast, to render such assistance as may be necessary to protect life and property."

Dublin, October 13,

A plasterer named Hefferman, of Clonbur, and a, Stewart named Spencer, of a neigh bouring nobleman, have been arrested in connection with the murder of Lord Mount morris.

The Irish Constabulary have sent forward a requisition for 67,000 additional rounds of buckshot.

THE PROSECUTIONS,

New York, Oct. 15.

A Dublin special say a : The approaching prosecution of the Land League leaders, which has been determined npnn, has created a panic in their ranks, as they did not for an instant imagine that the Govern ment would dare to take such action. The blow has fallen without the slightest warn ing. The prosecution is founded on the proceedings of the Land League in the city of Dublin, and on speeches delivered at some of the county meetings, speeches which have been reported by Government short-hand writers. The whole question of the legality or illegality of the leagues will then bo gone into. Criminal information can bo lodsred against a body of men for conspiracy to interfere with the due execu tion ot the Queen's laws, or against indi viduals for using language at county meet ings calculated to endanger the safety of a certain person or persons.

THE COUNTY CORK MURDER.

Additional particulars- of the outrage near Skibbereen, County Cork, where a landlord named Hutchins and his driver were shot and the latter killed, show that the second was fired at Hutchins, who escaped by jumping off the car. The affair occurred in broad daylight. No ar rests have been made. Hutchins is a Justice of the Peace. He and his driver were armed with pistols, but did not use them, Only one made the attack.

A despatch from Dublin says :—" The friends of the Land League advise them to offer £1000 reward for the capture of the murderers of Mr Hutchins, the driver, as fresh murders are very inopportune for the agitators at a timo when prosecution is pending."

A RIOT IN BALLYDUFF.

Dublin, October 11. At a large meeting held yesterday, under the auspices of the Land League, at Bally duff, the greatest excitement prevailed. During a speech in which the Government was denounced on account o£ the existence and continuence of the land system, some Government reporters were detected upon the platform. Thecryof "pitch them off " was at once raised, and was taken up by the crowd near the stand. A number of the men left upon the structure seized the reporters and threw them violently to the ground. Attempts were made by their friends to rescue them, and a riot ensued in. which all semblance to order was lost. The speaker ceased his address, but neither he nor the officers of the meeting made any serious effort to secure order or to prevent bloodshed. Miscellaneous shots were fired, but it is not ascertained that any person was killed. The constabulary finally rescued tlie reporters from the hands of the people, and formed a ling around them with fifteen bayonets, in the centre of which they con tinned to take notes. The members of the League who were present deny that the assault was pre-arranged. Mr P. Smyth, member of Parliament for West Meath, again writes emphatically con cerning the Laud League and its practice of circulating murderous and blasphemous publications, calculated to incite the people of Ireland to outrage and crime. Smyth quotes from a pamphlet which was recently distributed in thousands at a Land League meeting, in which a scheme to destroy the public buildings in London by dynamite was advocated. He holds the League res ponsible for the disturbed condition of

Ireland, and intimates that the leaders should be arrested and dealt with according to law.

The Irish priest 3 througout Ireland yes terday appealed to their congregations, deploring the continuance of outrages and also the condition of the tenantry. Numerous titled landlords are. fleeing from their estates iv fear of their lives. The Government has resolved to arrest the first agitator violating the laws. Archbishop McCabe of Dublin has written a pastoral letter deploring the silence of those Irish leaders in whoso presence threats of violence to landlords have been uttered.

MURDISKTiD BY AN ARMAGH MOB,

A proclamation has been issued, offering £1,000 reward for the apprehension of the murderer of Lord Mountmorris. Lord Mountmorris was a poor, unknown noble man, a.id unpopular as a landlord, a magiK tiate, and a neighbour. The motive of the murder is the subject of general discussion. Everybody in England denounces the crime as agrarian, and many call for coercive measures. The National papers are ex tremely violent. One of them rails at " the malignant blood-guiltiness of those who maintain a Satanic system as a gaping gate of hell in the land."

A powerful p-rty in the Cabinet are opposed to any coercive legislation, but, should the land leagues continue to make wild speeches, and should the peasantry commit more outrages, the cry for coercion throughout England and the north of Ireland will overcome all the conciliatory tendencies of the Gladstono Government;. Key. Mr Kane's counter agitation caused good-humoured curiosity. The last heard from the reverend minister of the peace was a proposition to arm 200,000 Protestants and march on Dublin. The keynote of fio Land League and the Parnell campaign, it will be seen, is that the laudlords must go. As Parnell is him self something of a landlord, the question irresistibly suggests itself, why docs he not give his brethren the benefit of his example and leave his country for his country's good V Arms are largely bought and freely im ported in many quarters. The manager of one establishment iv Dublin states that he has Bold 1,400 riiles within a short period. In Belfast breech-loaders are advertised tor sale for 15s, and in the small county towns, especially in the West, there U a brisk trade in riiles.

A Dublin despatch says that a process sever was murdered in Ireland on Friday. There was oue arrest.

One person was killed and twenty were injured in a Catholic church at Manchester yesterday, by the giving way of the gallery floor.

At the land meeting at Armagh on Octo ber 3rd, there were cries of " Shoot the landlords," " Down with the Queen and the Government." The leaders of the meeting afterwards made inflammatory speeches at Newry, and great excitement prevailed Ryan Paley, a farmer in JJallington, county Sfigo, has been murdered. One Boylan, a process-server, has been killed at Cross maglan, county Armagh. The military authorities in the west of Ireland are making extensive preparations in view of apprehended disturbances. Houses are being hired at Quam and Head ford, in Galway, and at Vatly, iv Mayo, for immediate occupation by military detach ments. Troops will also leave the Currough of Kildarc for Castle Bar and Westport, in Mayo. The "Gazette"publishes a proclamation declaring the County of Kerry in a state of disturbance, requiring additional police. A reward of §5000 has Dcen offered for the capture of the murderers of Hutcbins' driver.

Parnell, replying to nn address of the Town Commissioner of Rosscommofi, men tioned that he had received many threaten ing letters from persons representing themselves to be landlords or agents.

DEATH OF FRITZ (EMMETT). J. K. Emmett, the actor, suddenly turned up at Cincinnati with two big trunks and about §1500 in money. He walked into an hotel, was shown to a room, and was soon fast asleep, where he remained ever since.

3t Louis, October 7th. Fritz Emmett, who is playing a two weeks engagement here, was obliged by his physician's direction to cease playiDg for a few days. Emmett has been suffering from throat affection, which rendered him unable to sing. His sickness, it is thought, has as sumed an alarming phase, and he is now confined in a private hospital for treat ment. His wife has been telegraphed for to come here if she wished to see him alive. He has not appeared on the stage since Saturday. A later telegram reports Emmett's death.
