TRIAL OF THE CZAR'S ASSASSIN.

St. Petersburg, April Bth.— The trial of the assassins of the late Emperor began yesterday. Jeliaboff conducts his own de fence. Heading of tho indictment occupied two hours; tho prisoners wore then inter rogated. Tho late Czar's coachman was then examined. The prisoners declined to state their names, ages, professions, or domiciles. Tho decision of tho court was read regarding the protest of the prisoner Jeliaboff,and which maintained the tribunal ought to Ix 3 constituted directly by the people, or by its legally elected delegation, and in any case tho prisoners should bo tried by a jury. Jeliaboff, replying to tho President, said he was baptized as a mem ber of the Orthodox church, but denied its orthodoxy. He recognised the doctrine of Jesus Christ, which occupied an important place in his convictions. He served tho cause of the people ; it was his sole occu pation, to which for years he had sacrificed iiis whole being. Kibaltschitsch declared his position in the affair was purely scicntihe, but he acknowledged that he knew the destination of the bombs.

STATEMENT BY THE PRISONERS. St. Petersburg, April 9th.—ln the trial of the Nihilists implicated in the assassinasion of the lato Czar, after th'_> reading of tho indictment was concluded, the President of the Court asked the prisoners whether they wished to Bay anything. Russakoff, who threw ono of the bombs, spoke for half an hour. Ho said he primarily desired to agitato peace fully, but entered into the late conspiracy seeing no other way out of social troubles. Michailoff, who was arrested as lie en tered Russakoff's house, said ho belonged to the Terrorist faction of the party, but denied RussakoiTs statement that ho par ticipated in the arrangements for the mur of the Czar. , , Hessey Helffmann acknowledged that she kept a conspirator's lodging house, which was the depot for their implements, but denied having actively participated in the Czar's assassination. Kibalkscliitisch, the bomb makers, a vowed his connection with tho Will of tho People party. Their wish, he said, was to gain their objects by a peaceful propaganda, but they were reluctantly obliged to adopt torrorist measures. Ho admitted preparing five doinbs. . Sophia Pieflbsky avowed her participa tion in the preparation of the Moscow mine : and in the murder of the Czar. Jeliaboff, who is the most intelligent of the prisoners, fluently related with diabo lical satisfaction the history of the two Alexandrowsky mines. He said he was tho head of one group of the party, and was charged by the Executive Committee with the work of organizing the attack by bombs, and was connected with the Sadou street mine as a simple worker. After these declarations tho prosecution stated that it would, perhaps, be possible to shorten tho trials. Jeliaboff, in his statement, attempted to extenuate the cases of Bussakoff and Michalioif by as serting that the former was only a propa gandist among workmen, and kucw nothing of the arrangement or its accomplishment, and that ho was entirely unconnected with tho crime. Jeliaboff showed great skill in cross-examining witnesses, and succeeded in utterly confusing one of them. To-day's sitting will be occupied in hearing speeches for the prosecution. In the centre of tho courtroom the various I articles, tangible ovidence against the I prisoners., such as boxes of dynamite, papers, chemicals, apparatus, etc., placed on tho table and guarded by gendarmes with drawn swords. The prisoners are all attired in black.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

MR GLADSTONE'S SPEECH ON.PRE SEN TING IT TO PARLIAMENT.

Parnell Warmly Indorses the Measure. — liesignation of the Duke of Argyll.-Press Opinions

LONDON, April Bth.— Nothing more im posing in tho House has been seen for years than the introduction of the Land Bill. Tho remarks of Mr Gladstone m presenting the bill showed an evident desire to placate the somewhat truculent landowning class, which was shown in the assertion that tne many plans proposed in the interest of tenants were simply schemes of public plunder; and the further assertion that the legislation tho Govorament was about to ™>o had its basis in the belief that the landlords had been tried and not found wanting. Mr. Gladstone stated that they had stood the trial and been acquitted, it wa significant that he was vociferous v cheered from portion of the Radical benches when he stated that the right of tenant assignment entered fundamental^ into the old law of the country, and not only entered into the old law of Ireland, but also into the ancient law of Europe. The cheers greeting this utterance show that radical reforms in renting lands are popular and likely to enter into the agita tion which will soon affect the system of landholding in England. The proposal to advance money in aid of emigration was

not received with enthusiasm, is it is well known that Irishmen do not caro to any extent to emigrate to tho English colonies.

AMENDMENTS TO BE OFFERED. London, April Bth.—ln the House of Commons Lord Eleho gave notice he would oppose the Land bill by amendment. That while the House was willing to consider any measure based upon sound principles, the present bill is economically unsound, unjust and impolitic. Sir Stafford "Northcotc (Conservative) stated the leaders of the opposition were not responsible for Lord Elcho s motion in op position to the Land bill. The bill involved such important financial and political ques tions they did not know yet now to attack it.

Several other witnesses were called, but the Court considored their cvidonce unne cessary, and dismissed the case, leaving complainant to pay costs, £2 6s. ASSAULTING A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.

Thomas Bi«hop, of Frankliu Koad, was charged on summons with committing a violent assault upon Frank Thomas Paton, by striking him in the face, and inflicting injuries upon hia arms, head, and shoulders on the 30th ult., {in consequence of which complainant considers that protection by law is necessary. Mr Browning appeared for complainant, and Mr Tyler for defendant. Mr Browning explained the case, which arose out of a business dispute. Complainant deposed that he travelled tor Messrs Cardno and Co., and sold a quantity of soap to defendant, a grocer, of Franklin-road. He gave v receipt to Mrs Bishop, but did not have the £1 Ds change to return. He gave him an 1.0.U.. Some time after an altercation ensued, when Mr Bishop made a remark about "dishonour , able conduct," referring to .him (Paton.)

IHe replied, "You must bo hen-pecked." I He put his back against the wall and stared, ! The attack was then made. He feared for I his life. ' To Mr Tyler : Felt thofc lio was as good a man as Bishpp, but would not fight. Oh, no. Considered that ho was hen pecked. Defendant was a remote relative, almost imaginary ; his cousin married a Beventh cousin of the family. He threatened to have him within two months. Mrs Paton gave evidence in a clear man ner. Defendant took his coat off when he called and a«k?d complainant to come out. Mr Tyler addressed the Court, also Mr Browning. Thomas Bishop deposed that Paton had been talking about his business, which was likely to create ai injurious impression. He went down to his house, when the squabble and a bit of a tusael took place. They exchanged blows, and each parted with a black eye. Both took off their coats, but Paton had uotj pluck to shape, but gave one sly blow. To Mr Browning : He was not henpecked. It was a spiteful assertion. Hia wife atten ded to the business because she understood it better, but she was not the "boss," (laughter). His Worship said the defendant was cer tainly caudid, but he must find him guilty. He must pay a fine of 20s, and costs £2 9.1, and find sureties, himself in £20, and two others to the same amount, to keep the poace for three months. This was all the business,

Tho " Bay of Plenty Time's" this morning says :-" The arbitary ukase that reached tho pilot yesterday, is ouc of the most tyrannical pieces of conduct that could bo imagined, and seems directly aimed at tin prosperity of tho port, and that if ever thero was a case calling for au iudiwiation protest against an arbitary and unfair Hyntcm of administration, tho order which Ims come from koad-quarters with regard to the cargo of the Waratha, is one."

THE MAIL STEAMER IN QUARANTINE.

In last night's S'l'AUour information left off with the heading of the mail steamer down tho harbour towards Motuihi, whither the Health Oflicer, Dr Philsou, much again-1 his will, had despatched her. It appears that there had beeu four cases of measles among children on board, all of which are well again, except one, now in the con valescent stage. The first case broke out on the 12th April, two days after leaving San Francisco, and the last aa recently as yesterday week. Under tae»e circumstances Dr. Philson had no alternative but to order the ship into quarantine. Accordingly about dusk she proceeded to the island. To try and remedy this disagreeable state of allairs several gentlemen, including br. Philaon, Mr lii*s, Postmaster, Mr Brophy, Immigration Ollicer, and Captain Burgess, interviewed Mr Whitakcr, Kesidcnt Mini-tcr; but that gentleman had not tho power, or, at any rate, did not tako upon himself to order the relaxation of the iuconveniont directions, in spito of the fac that tile sickness on bourd is of the mildest description. It was accordingly decided that Auckland pas-enters and mails (355 bags) should be lauded at Motuihi, and the steamer coaled from the hulk at the North Head. Af'cr that she might proceed on her voyage, taking with her the 75 tons of cargo for tliis port, in consequence of want of time to land it. It proved very rough at the Quarantine Island last night iv conse quence of tho stiff southerly breeze, aud a heavy surf waa rolling in. Tho passenger?, however, were landed ; but up to seven o'clock this morning the mails had not been put on shore. The Customs steam launch, with Mr Brophy on board, proceeded to the island at 8 o'clock last evening, in order to render any assistance which Mr Bsrnsley, the quarantine - keeper, might require. As, however, the sea was so rough, the launch returned about 2 a.m. today, without hav ing done anything, beyond arranging that the mails should be fumigated ou board aud a signal gi'en when they were ready for the steam launch to go down anil bring them up. It appears that tho mails were landed on the quarantine island after all, and not fumigated on the ship. They will not be brought to town till late this evening. It certaiuly does seem too striugent to delay the mails in the present manner. Not only Auckland is suffering, but the wholo colony, and that perhaps to a very serious extent. Groater despatch might surely have been exercised even sup posing the most scientific and exact methods were employed over tho disinfect ing prpcess. But hoir the letters are going to spread infection sealed up in watertight bags as they are, and the bags themselves placed in a receptacle by themselves, on board tho steamer, does not clearly aproar. 1 Though of course, in view of the ravages _ot small-pox at Honolulu and San Francisco, some precautions are necessary.

THE DOCK SITE.

MR BLACKETT'S REPORT

Mr Blackett's report on the eke of the proposed new dock arrived from Wellington yesterday, Tho substance of it h as follows : —Four sites were suggested by the Harbour Board, and a fifth oll'ered by Mr Tizard, viz.:—lst, immediately West of Queen-street Wharf, and parallel with it; 2nd, immediately East of Bailnny Wharf, and parallel with it; 3rd, at a poiut a little East of Kauri Point; 4th(MrTizard's site), between Kauri Point and Stokes Point, a little East ot Duck's Creek ; and sth, at Calliope Point. Nos. 3, 4, and 5 are situated 2£, Nos. 2 and 1, one nautical mile from the end of Queen-street Wharf. With regard to sites Nos. 1 and 2, Mr Blackett objects that they are placed at right angles to the direction of channel, and iv order to keep the entrance open dredging would bo required, which constitutes in itself a fatal objection. No. 3, Mr Blackett considers is too far from Auckland ; it is subject mors* over to strong current.", and is open to heavy winds from W. and S.W. There is really nothing to recommend it. No 4 (Mr Tizard's) is equally exposed to W. aud S. W. winds. No. 5, that at Calliope Point, is the nearest to Auckland, and Mr BlacKctt reports stroDgly iv its favour. There is deep water at a moderate distance from shore, a good solid bed of rock to serve as a foundation, aud thore are cliffs near at hand by means of which reclamation works could conveniently be carried out. Besides this.it is sheltered from N.N.E winds and W. winds. Tho Chief Engineer goes on to remark that on the Aucklaud 1 side of the harbour no good site near enough at hand to the town seems to present itself. If one could be found, there would still remain the insuperable objection that frequent and important changes in the soundings occur on this side, from which the North Shore side is free. The forces which have caused deep water the gvvill continue to be in operation. Mr Blackett concludes by expressiug his thanks to tho Board's Engineer, and to the Harbou Master for important information of various character obligingly afforded.
