His Worship said he had nothing to do with that: they were properly before him. — MiLaißhleySsaid he would submit that under the otrcumstanoos the prisoners might walk out of the dock.—His Worship said he had not only the interests of the prisoners to con sider, but he acted as well in the interests of the public—Mr Pardy explained the circum stances under which the prisoners had been apprehended, and he thought the arresting con stable had acted in accordance with his duty.— Mr Laishtey submitted that the prisoners had been arrested without warrant. His Worship was not to assume that they were guilty of any criminal arrest. He wished his Worship to take a note of his objection that tbey had been arrested without warrant.—His Worship eaid they were charged with a certain, offence, and it was his duty to hear the evidence and disposa of the case accordingly.—Mr Laishley submitted that the men were not arrested in Auckland, and as they bad been arrested without warrant, they were entitled to their discharge. —Bis Worship could not Coincide with the remarks of the learned counsel.—Mr laishley then submitted his objection in writing, and asked for a remand without prejudice.—Mr Brown aoted as interpreter—: Mr Laishley asked that prisoners might be admitted to moderate bail,—Mr Pardy asked for substantial bail, as the offence was a serious one, and it might be difficult again to secure the presence of the younger prisoner, who was of a flighty disposition and fleet of foot.—Prisoner were remanded until Thursday, but admitted to bail In £10 each, and two sureties to the same amount.

CORRESPONDENCE.

DR. WALLIS AND THE PRESS.

(To the Editor).

Sir,— My attention has been directed to tbe Star report of my speech, on Friday to the electors of City West, and to an artiole which appeared ir, some copies of your Saturday's issue. The report of the speech is on the whole accurate — with one exception. I, said the "Hall" Ministry had borrowed certain liberal measures and passed them, and I claimed that credit was due, not to the "Hall" Ministry, but to the members of the Houao. who, 'having been eleotort for flvo years,' had shortened their term of office to three years. 1. In reference to your article, "Dr. Wallis and the Presß," which, in some copies of your Satur day's issue, is strangely substituted for ~the Fapakura annual stallion parade," I beg to cay that I have never before seen so many mistakes in so short space. There is not a sentence which does not either Imply ignor ance, or mis-state facts. In my address I said that the Press Agency and the special corres pondents of the btar and " Herald," who were writers in Southern newspapers or strong parti sans of Southern interests, had systematically ignored or misrepresented the sayings and doings of Parliament during the last cession. I neither thought nor spoke of myself. I did not complain that I or ray epgeehes had been specially mis-reported; and yet nearly the halt of yonr article is an irrelevant attempt to refute a complaint I never made, 2. I never alluded to your late sub-editor, who has all the merit, and more than all the merit, you ascribe to him. He was not your Parliamentary reporter last session. Why should you drag him into this matter, see ing that I spoke only of the imperfect and mis leading information supplied last session? I had lin view not one but all the reporters and correspondents who supplied the Baid informa tion. It ia nos the business of members to wait upon reporters with parliamentary information, or tofcend necessarly one-sided accounts of events to newspapers. Your words imply that one or more of the Auckland members did co last sesßion. Some of the Auokland members did Busoect that one or more of their number oc casionally forwarded to the newspapers here misrepresentations of meetings, &c. It pains me to find that your words imply there was a substantial foundation for this suspicion. 3. I see no connection between my address the other night and your cock-and-bull story of a rush to Bellamy's when I rise to speak. The same ill-natured thicg has been Baid about every member of the House, and said with truth. You and others seem to f anoy that it is the duty of members who speak most to make entertaining speeches, and keep the House amused and full, their duty is, amid good report and evil report, to advooato what is true and right—whether their advooaoy be liked or disliked—and to promote the best interests of the colony. It ocoarred to me last session that is was the grot: from Bellamy's that ia part ac counted for inacouraoies in newspaper reports; and I gave notice of a motion to stop the grog, and I was richly rewarded for this by the bless ings, not loud but doep, of Parliamentary re porters generally, i. Mr Macandrew's direct bteam sorvice project would scarcely have bson mentioned by me in mr address had not the two Auokland dailies disguised faots and sought to glorify Southern men at the ex pense of their local members. This project was several times mentioned or brought up, either in the House or in Committee. The discus: ion of the projoct did not take piaoa till the 13th sept, last, and both Mr Reader Wood and I exposed its visionary and impracticable character. You amuse me when you say that my opposition to the project occupied just ten lines of Hansard. I never read, 1 cannot read Hansard. One shrinks from it as from the grave, the loath some grave, in whioh his dearest and be'BC thoughts lie burled. Oblige me by looking again into Hansard of the 13th ultimo; and then publish the ton lineslspokoin that debate. 5. I regret to see something like an evil spirit of greed taking possession of the Stab. I did teU the Stah folks that I intended to address my constituents on Friday next, and I did suggest that notice of my inten tion might be given in a local. Having learned the greed of newspaper men.l fear linuxtoonfessl had that human characteristic of theirs in view when £ haired my hook with—" I shall advertise

in a day or two." Poor human nature! No blackmail of this kind is levied upon members in the old country when returning to address ttteir constituents. If newspapers are used for adver tising, it ia right they should be paid. But with old country ways and customs in my memory, I dislike the idea of every miserable rag of a newßpiper picking at as many pence as possible out of your pocket. 6. In snort, I brought against onr Auckland dailies the following charges: First. That the Press Agency and the special correspondents gave imperfect, one-sided, and misleading accounts of the Par liamentary proceedings during the past nession. Seoond. That through the selflshneiis and mercenariness of newspaper men, it has come to pass that bribery and corruption in connection with newspapers may be practised almost to any extent at the forthcoming general eleotion, without inenrring any legal penalties. It ia to be hoped that publio meetings all over the colony will be held, in order to denounce and stamp out this great evil.—l am, &c, October 10,1881. James Walms. [Onr correspondent speaks of the liberality of British newspapers. It he knows anything at all about the Homo Press, he knows that suoh a letter as the one which we publish above would simply be consigned to the waste paper basket By ninety-nine out of every hundred newspapers in the United Kingdom. Mr Justice Gillies, when in London, discovered, in attempt ing to corract a statement abont New Zealand, which appeared in the London "Times." that the latitude allowed by the Auckland Press to correspondents is a thing unknown in Great Britain. As a role, Knglish newspapers do not admit into their correspondence columns attacks npon themselves. We need hardly say that the gratuitous advertising, which Dr Wallia dwells upon with such fond reoollection, is equally mythioal. Onr correspondent's whole letter is an attempt to lead readers away from the points at issue, and is. therefore, in perfect accord with the writer's usual tactics. We shall notice very briefly each point seriatim: —1. The "mystery" of certain country news appearing in one edition of the Stab and giving way to' later intelligence and news of exclusively town interest in the town edition, is a "mystery" which, we need' hardly say, is enacted every day. Onr country readers are more interested in the Papakura horse show than in the aotica of Dr. Wallis. 2. Oar correspondent is not personally such a fool as to mistaue the application of our reference to a former representative of the Star at Welling ton, and it is not complimentary to those he attempts to mislead to suppose they can be trapped by so poor a devise. We stated ex plicitly that this attaotc of Dr. Wallis on the press was systematic, aud in proof of the state ment we pointed oat that Dr. Wallis had before attempted to shield bis own shuffling by abus ing the reporters. The same charge of mis representing the proceedings of Parliament was made by him in St. James's Hall on a former occasion; his denial of the report of the celebrated " rogues and trimmers " speech, which was heard by nearly a thonsand people in the Choral Hall is also not forgotten. Throughout the last session he was at war .with the Wellington papers, over their reports. In speaking upon the Chinese Bill he said: " Very strong prejudices have grown up in this colony agaiust the Chinese, and these prejudices have been fostered amongst us by the lowest class of newspapers. Cowaidly newspapers in the North and South have tried to ingratiate them selves with the loaf ers of New Zealand. They have been writing against the Chinese, and in consequence of their writings, there are everywhere strong prejudices against ttiuse people." (Vide Hansard No. 3 ot last session— debata on Chinese Immigration Bill.) Quota tions innumerable could be addnced to prove tbat this villiflcation of the press on Dr Waliis's part has been systematic. His statement thtt the press reports did cot fairly represent the proceedings in Parliament, so far as it was possible for abbreviated reports to do, is abso lutely fake, and we have proof of it in his own speech, which contained literally nothing that the electors did not know through the news papers long before. (3) His insinuation that some members had telegraphed unfair re ports is untrue, and. has not the shadow of support in our article. To prove that we hod spared no pains to keep our readers well posted in Auckland matters, we stated that besides receiving the Press Association Parliamentary report, we had em ployed an experienced special correspondent, and had asked nearly all the Auckland members personally to keep him posted up in Auckland business. Dr Wallis was one of those who were asked, and he promised bis assistance; if he changed his mind subsequently he was at liberty to do bo ; but other members did furnish our correspondent with many items about the Auckland motions, petitions and other business before the House, and some times, in his absence, telegraphed them. By doing so they conferred a favour npon us, for which we thank them; they conveyed in formation anxiously looked for by their consti tuents ; and were most assuredly not guilty of anything derogatory to their position as mem bers of the House. Besides these telegrams, there were corrections and other meeseges.aimi lar to that from Dr. Wallis, which like his, were treated as con9dential. The date, 13th Septem ber, to which Dr WaHls refers us, is just one month subsequent to the date of his telegram to Star, which alono was under discussion in our Saturday's paper. In the meantime, the Press and Chamber of Commerce had effectually aroused the Auckland members into activity. The issue between ourselves and Dr Wallis, may be Bummed up in a few words. He charged the editor of the Star in his address, with un manly oonduct in disguising a telegram from him in such a way that few people would see it. By reproducing the paragraph in question, we S roved that his statement was a wilful false ood. He conveniently forgets to return to this part of his charge. We next attributed his abuse of the Press to a double motive—first, a disinclination to be pinned too clonely to any thing he may say; and next, to parsimonious ness. Wo leave tbosa who read hiß reply to say whether both these positions are not confirmed rather than rebutted by his latest deliver ance. Newspapers do not pretend to exist as the offspring of private philanthropy. Whether complete or not, we have sometimes paid the Auckland telegraph office £5 in one day for telegrams during tbe sitting of Parlia ment. There is not a first-clans daily paper in Now Zealand that costs less than £250 a week In working expenses, and this expenditure is met almost wholly out of the advertisements. Nevertheless, despite the inordinate greed which Dr Wallis professes to have discovered in the N.Z press generally, there has been a wonderful amount of good-natured toleration of men like himself, who occupy the time of a newspaper staff with solicitations for gratuitous advertisements and haggle over the price of the limited single insertion which they feel bound to pay for. We cast the charge of greed and self-seeking made by Dr Wallis against the Press into bis own teeth, and if it were neces sary to substantiate the charge further the proofs would be forthcoming readily enough from his past career, both clerical and political. -[ED.8.a.1

RELIGIOUS ZEAL OR(?)

(To the Editor) Sib,—Mr S. Rout's explanatory letter is what we might expect from men of similar extreme views. If they only had the power to enforce auoh opinions—fortunately they have not—suoh persons would make it penal to smue on the Sabbath day. Who made this mild young man a judge or an interpreter of what ia and what is not a strict and proper observance of the Sabbath? It is snoh narrow minded intolerant bigots who bring discredit on real religion, and whoheln to swell the ranks of free-thinkers. Forsooth he must needs want to teach his elders and hia betters their duty. With such people, religion is a mere matter of business,to be obtained principally by notoriety, or a professed zeal which exceeds the bounds ot discretion. All honour to the clergymen who have had the courage of their opinions, and the manliness to utter them, and are found on the side of tolerance and real religion, which views in the advancement and innocent instruction of the working classes, a part of their duty ful filled, and the knowledge tbat there is a time for all thiDgs, and that a constant assumption of piety and snuffling cant is no whereiasked of us in the |Ten Commandments, or elsewhere!—l am,&c, Cosmopolitan.

SUEZ MAIL NEWS.

A despatch from San Francisco states that ships of war of many nations, including England, are arriving at Honolulu, in con sequence of the rumours that the United States intend to annex the Sandwich Islands. The British steamer Gannet had sailed from Victoria (British Columbia), and the flagship on the South American coast was said to be on her way to the same destination. On the other hand, nobody at Washington seems to believe that the United States Government have any such design. Il has been stated that, at any rate so far as foreign politics are concerned, nothing has been done since the President was shot, the Cabinet having done little else but watch at his bedside.

A Papal brief has been addressed by Leo XIII. to the Cardinal-Archbishop of Malines and other Belgian priests, touching upon ihe dispute in Belgium between the ad herents of the Syllabus on the one hand and of the Constitution on the other. The Pope advises conciliation and moderation, and argues that respect for the Constitution is not inconsistent with the profession of the Catholio religion. It appears that the Argentine Govern ment are anxious to arrange with the English Government Government about Irish immigration on a large scale, and that Congress is ready to vote £40,000 to assist immigrant passages.

The Great Eastern is again for sale, and is to be offered at Lloyd's captains' room on the 19th of October.

The preliminary meeting of creditors in the estate of John Reginald de Courcey, took place to-day in the Supreme Court house, when Mr Thos. Macffarlane was elected trustee. The liabilities are stated at £140, and the assetts at £160. MX HERRING'S MISSION. The deputation which went out to New Zealand last autumn for the purpose of re porting on the |state of agriculture have re turned home, and express themselves thoroughly pleased with their visit Mr, Edward Herring has already made known some of his views in connection with farm ing in New Zealand in an agricultural con temporary, and we have no doubt that his remarks will lead many British farmers to make up their minds—an he himself has done—to proceed to New Zealand in the spring and settle there. Mr Herring docs not advocate a wholesale emi gration of English agriculturists. Speak ing generally, he says that men who can not invest £1,000 ought not to tru«t them selves and families in the colonies, the pre sent prices being so much lower than in the past; and as to the prospects for general labourers, they are not any better. To sum up Mr Herring is satis fied Jthat both Australia [and New Zealand ofier every inducement to the sbeep and arable farmer of Great Britain, but the moist climate and running streams in New Zealand will always give it the preference in an agricultural point of view. The report which Mr Herring and his associate will make to thn body of| English capitalists who cent them out will clear up some of the ques tions left open by the Lincolnshire delegates, Messrs Grant and Foster, and there is no doubt that when these two documents are studied by the agricultural class throughout Great Britain a very large and valuable addition 'will be made to the English farming element already located in Australia and New Zealand.

BRITISH COMMERCE AND UNFAIR

COMPETITION.

The unfair competition to which British commerce and agriculture are at present ex posed is (the European Moil states) to be brought before the Bouse of Commons early next session by Sir Herbert Maxwell. The Hon. baronet will move. — "That the House, being of opinion that the commerce and agriculture of this country are suffering seriously by reason of the heavy import duties imposed and the bounties on their own industries conferred by the Govern ments >of foreign nations, calls upon the Government to take steps initiatory to the establishment of an Imperial Uustoms Union, whereby reciprocal trading between Great Britain and her colonies may be established, and British industry, whether at home or in the colonies, may be en couraged." DISASTERS AT A BULL FIGHT. A more terrible catastrophe than, one which took place at Marseilles the other night could scarcely be imagined. A bull fight had been organised in the new circus situated in the Promenade on the Prado. It being Sunday, a vast gathering of holiday folks assembled to see the sport. All went well till about five o'clock, when suddenly the stands, which were made of wooden plank?, gave way aud precipitated the occupants, about 2,000 in number, pell-mell on to the ground. The horrible scene that followed can be better imagined than described. For some minutes the shrieks and cries of the victims, as they lay.jammed and crushed amid the ddbris, paralysed the movements of the circus people, who rushed about in the greatest confusion. But the first terrible shock over the troops were sent for,and the work of rescue began. The sad news soon spread throughout the town, and in a abort time nearly all the inhabitants flocked to the spot in quest of missing friends. It took several hours to extricate the dead, dying and wounded from the ruins. Twelve are reported killed and 150 wounded. Among the victims is M. Imbauss, Paymastei-Uen eral of the Treasury, who bad his right leg smashed. While this accidint was taking place at Marseilles, another fatal bull-fight was witnessed at Nimes, where two of the torreros were nearly impaled on the horns. oE the animals. One of the men ia reported to have died from his wound, FROZEN MEAT. Writing in the "Eurepean Mail," on August 26, about the expected shipment of frozen meat by the Prbtos, then nearly due, " Anglo-Australian " offered the following remarks:—"The Protos, with meat from Melbourne, will be welcome when she arrives. So many promises of a meat supply from Australia had been mads and notfulfilledthatpeople on this side began to think the enterprise had been given up. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the business will be taken in hand with spirit, so that a sup ply may arrive hare at least once a month, from what I can gether the people here are willing to take as much of the meat as they can get., Indeed, there are no two opinions about there being a market for the meat, but I suppose what most concerns exporters is the^uestion of profit, or, in other words whether the business' will pay. This result will, of course, depend very much upon the sums paid for freight and com mission. If these are heavy, then lam afraid the meat ■ exporting business must be a failure, and the consumers of tbis country will be left to the tender mercies of butchers and middle men. If a company could be formed on this side, which would act in concert with the meat-exporting companies on the other, something might be done to reduce charges, to give consumers a wholesome and cheap joint, and to put money into the pockets of the producer and exporter. The system now pursued is a ruinona one, that benefits no one but the com mission men. What is wanted is some system by which the meat could pass from the ships hold to the butcher's shop with the intervention only of one commission man." /.THE r /]DiSATB OF DE TANNER. The American faster, Dr Tanner, has departed this life with an unostentatious ness strongly contrasting with the sensa tional manner in which he last year contrived to live through his battle against hunger. About a month ago he arrived at Amsterdam, and alighted at the Hotel Cor nelius. He1 waa accompanied by Mrs Dr Tanner and two children. For a week after his arrival in Amsterdam, Dr Tanner confined himself to his room in the. hotel. It is reported that during this time he used to eat five or six meals a day with a ravenous appetite, besides con suming a large quantity of spirits. At length he informed the hotel-keeper who he was, and stated that he had come to see Dr Croff. This physician had, in several Dutch papers, expressed disbelielf in the genuineness of Dr Tanner's well .known

fast, and declared the latter must have ob tained nutriment by secret means. The object of Dr Tanner in going to Amsterdam was to perform in Dr Croff's ' house a fast similar to that which he had gone through in America last autumn. The wager was to be 50,000 francs or £2,000. ' Dr Croff was away at the time Dr Tanner i reached Amsterdam, returned home the other day any and at once sent a messenger ts the American, who had begun to grow impatient of the delay. Rejoiced to near that Dr Croff had at length called, Dr Tanner ran out to receive him, but in do ing so mis ed Ma footing at the top of th stairs and fell to tho bottom, The fall caused concussion of the brain and other injuries, and the ttn . fortunate faster breathed his last the very next day. The medical men of Amsterdam desired to open the body of Dr Tanner, but to this Mrs Tanner, in spite of all their entreaties and offers, would not consent. She, however, agreed to allow the body to be weighed, when jt was found that its weight was only 1081b. It will be remem bered that at the end of his fast Dr Tanner only weighed 961b.

A cheque for £6 15s was forwarded|as proportion of the license fees.— Mr Christian wrote calling attention to the bad state of drains in Russell-street. It was decided. to acknowledge receipt, and state the matter would receive attention. The residents of Cheshire-street called at teution to the fact of the Grammar School1 reserves falling in, and pointing out the desirability at this juncture of securing a road from Domain-terrace to Cheshire street.—Referred to the Streets Committee, with instructions to report with reference to referring the petition to the Grammar School Governors.—The Streets Committee reported that they found that Mrs Matson's building encroached on the street as compared with the other buildings, and it was unsightly, bnt it was doubtful if they had power to order that the building be put back, as no line had been given, and no Building Act was in force. In some instances the drainage was very bad, and there was no remedy but the adoption of some permanent system of drainage.—The report was adopted.—With reference to the defective drainage of Scarborough Terrace, it was decided, to ask Mr Waters to allow a drain to run through his property, the. Council guaranteeing to keep the channel clean,— Mr J. W. Robinson wrote complaining that the Inspector of Nuisances acted as agent for the night soil contractor.—Mr Lowndes denied the statement, and the letter was ordered to lie on the table.—The salary of the Inspector of Nuisances was increased to £52 per annum, exclusive of Dog Tax fees.—After some other important business, the meeting adjourned.

He was a veteran toper with a fiery red proboscis, but a most kind-hearted and amiable man, and when the flies pothered upon his nose he used to say: "Oh, don't drive 'em away; they're having a good time, and if they can get their liquor with* ont paying for it, I don't mind,"
