THE TERRIBLE EARTH-

QUAKE AT SCIO.

A Graphic Picttire of Desolation

and Death.

LONDON, April 9,—A special correspondent at Scio telegraphs under date of the 7th as follows : I have just arrived here from Con stantinople to find a picture of desolation such as is rarely witnessed. The town looks tta if it had been terribly bombarded. Hun dreds of houses arc transformed into a shapeless mass of ruius, under which lie buried an unknown number of victims. The majority of the remaining houses aro already crocked aud roolle3s aud may fall any moment. Nearly every building in the town suffered more or less. The in habitants wander about anxious, to search for missing relatives or lost property, but are afraid to risk their lives in the perilous work of clearing away the rubbish. Many who are willing to expose themselves to danger are prevented by frieuds or by the police. Fear, grief and despair are depicted on nearly every face, and nearly all have the Batne sad or tragic tale to tell. The first Bhock was felt on Sunday afternoon, about 1.30 o'clock. Immediately the houses began to fall.

WILD SHRIEKS WETIE" HEARD ON EVERY

SIDE.

Then followed an awful silence for some minutes. The terrified survivors gradually ventured into the narrow lanes and searched the open spaces. Shortly afterwards another terrible shock completed the devas tation. All night shocks succeeded oach other at short intervals and each one pre ceded by dull sounds liko subterranean ex plosions. All the open spaces in town were filled with the wounded, many of whom are in a hopeless condition. Many dead and wounded were under the ruins. The survivors are emigrating in all direc tions. Only fifty houses were left standing. On all sides cries of distress wore heard from the ruins, but nobody dared to ap proach to render assistauce. For several days frequent shocks bad been felt. A few moments ago, while writing the presout dispatch, I distinctly heard an explosion and felt the earth tremble, but as I am under canvas I have nothing to fear. An old Genoese fortress, containing about 400 houses, was inhabited by Mussulmen and Jews, and suffered moro than the rest of the towD. The ground there sank about half a meter, and nearly all the houses were immediately de stroyed, and several hundred persons must have perished. It is known that about thirty Mussulman women were assembled in one houso, not one of whom escaped. The southern part of the island is eaid to have suffered more than this town. Her Majesty's gun^vessel Bittern arrivod this morning. The captain at once came ashore; and after consulting with the Governor of the island, organised relief parties for tending the wounded and ex tricating the dead from-the ruins. He then went over to Chesmc and made careful inquiries regarding the state of the town and its inhabitants. To-morrow he intends visiting the southern part of the island, where less has been done for the relief of sufferers. I visited Chesrne this afternoon. Only about ten inhabitants were killed, but many houses were in ruins and many more dilapidated. PERIL IN nOUSKS. The Mayor" assured me thatthree-fourths of thehousesare'in a dangerous condition. The inhabitants are afraid to live in those which are uninjured, for every night since Sunday frequent shocks have been felt. Nearly all prefer to camp out. As the weather is fine, the hardship in this respect is not great. It is said that Throughout the district not less than 30,000 people are without shelter. In Kistro the work of extracting bodies and at tending the wounded ia progressing satisfac torily, but the stifling odour in the vicinity of many of the ruins proves that the former operation is far-from complete. On the other hand, some wonderful escapes have occurred. One woman was buried uuder the ruins fifty-two hours, and at last was recovered, having given birth in the mean time'to a child. The child is dead, but the mother is doing well. BELIEF FOR THE SUFFERING. SCIO, April 9.—A medical commission is now sitting to consider the expediency of covering the rubbish in the fortress with earth, as there is no hope of saving any lives, and disinterment of the dead might produce an epidemic. It is now believed that throughout the whole island, which contained 70,008 inhabitants, 6000 or 7000 were killed and 25 per cent, of the survivors wounded. French, British, United States and Austrian gun vessels arc in the harbour aiid doing all in their power to assist the authorities in the work of relief. Only ten of the inhabitants of Chesrne were killed, but many houses are in ruins, and 30,000 people are without shelter. London, April 7th.—The Great Patri arch at Constantinople telegraphed the Creek Committee, in Liverpool, as follows : News from Chio is heartrending. The catastrophe surpasses all belief. I implore you to form a committee to receive sub scriptions in aid of the sufferers. Need is urgent. The Lord Mayor of London has opened a subscription for the relief of the sufferers, and nearly £10,000 has been raised. Shocks of earthqu»ke continue in Chio, and are fast completing the general-ruin, In Kastro, which contained nearly 4,000! inhabitants, only 150 are known to be alive.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN'S NEPHEW.

Popular Gossip Concerning the Reasons for the Match.

Berlin, Feb. 18th.

Prince William, the oldest son of the'heir apparent to the Prussian throne and Crown Prince of Germany, was married yesterday. The ceremony was performed with great pomp and display at seven o'clock in the evening before the royal family and a few high officials of state, in the small castle of the chapel in Berlin, by the court preacher. In trutb, I should say he was partly married yesterday, for they were tho last and the chief, the religious rites only that were performod yesterday. The civil marriage, to which the Emperor attaches Jess importance, took piaco about thirty hours earlier at the Bellevue Palace, in the Thiergarten. During these thirty hours the young William was in an anomalous condition. He was

NEITHER MARBIED NOR UNMARRIED. He was swinging between earth and heaven without the possibility of falling down, nor a rope to pull him up. Yesterday the court preacher rescued him from his perilous position, and, it is to be hoped, brought him into the land of perpetual sunshine. But society shakes its head dubiously. There are rumours afloat that can be traced very near to the royal palace to the eifect that it was not a genuine love match, as has been generally understood, but a match made by the Crown Princess for the sake of •reforming her son. If the report ia true— and I have it from the lips of the President of one of the Prussian legislative assemblies —it was quite as far from being an ideal love affair as most royal marri iges. It is common talk that the Emperor and Crown Prince had marriages of the same kind, But it is not for this reason that society finds fault. It was felt that tho future Emperor should either marry into one of the first royal houses of Europe, or else so marry as to unite the sympathies and sentiments of the north and south. In stead of doing either of these things, Prince William has taken

Even more—she is a little older than the Prince, and is neither par-j ticularly clever nor handsome. It is to be j wondered at, then, that society has been; furious in ~ declaring the marriage a' mesalliance1? ~...

The Attempt to Blow up the Ma nsion House.

....O'Doimeil, one of .the persona implicated, has given details of the attempt upon the, Mansion House to persons in New York •whither he levanted. Ha says that there were six men engaged in the" plot. It was decided that if the Coercion Bill passed, Vengeance was to be wreaked somewhere, j the Lord Mayor was selected, because he, \ though himself an Irishman, was a strong! advocate of coercion, and voted for it. Iv j a box were 100 lbs of giant powder, and the box was bound with the strongest hoop iron. At the Egyptian Hall side of the Mansion House, where the attempt was made, there are three policemen on guard around the semi-circle which is there formed by George-street and St. Swithiu's lane. Each officer patrols his post every four minutes. Coleman took the box under his arm and walked close be hind an officer until he came to a niche in the built up window Coleman rapidly conveyed the box to ibe niche, reaching over andiron rail to do

ao, and placiug a piece of carpet on the base of the niche to deaden the sound of the box as it foil upon it. He then gave the box an inward slant, so that the force of the con cussion would be directed inward. He cut fuses to reach the powder iv a minute and a-half, or about a minute before the police man would have returned. As he left ho met a woman and child. Coleman joined his accomplices, who waited a few blocks away for the report, but the woman observed the fuse on fire, and the policeman, whom she summoned, cut it when about a couple ef inches from the powder, and saved the Mansion House. O'JUonneli and another skcrmisher named Mooney left the next morning for France, aud Mooney is now in Paris. O'Oonucll sailed from Havre on the 19th of March. The other four remained in London.

Ivith a Mait'icd Princess.

New York, March 15.—A Berlin dis patch states that Count Herbert Bismark has certainly eloped with the Princess Elizabeth of Carolath-Beuthrein. Both arrived at Messina several weeks ago. The I'rintfCss is the wife of' Prince Charles of Carolath-Beuthroin, Count of Schonarch, chief of one of the [Prussian families, and hereditary member of tho Upper House. The faithless wife is a step-sister of Prince .Hermann, of Hatzfeldt Tratchenberg, head "of the Catholic family bearing the title since 1741, and a daughter of the Countess of Kcichenbach. She had one daughter, the Princess Sydilla, now 14 years of age. Prince Carolath, who is 30, has left Parlia ment, and retired to his estates iv bilesia. He will commence a divorce suit. Count Horbert Bismark, whose age i? 3G,was until recently secretary to his father, who had destined him as his chief assistant and ctentful successor. It is said that this domestio calamity is the chief cause of Bismarck's recent irritability and bad humour.

The Ambitions Saints of Utah.

Salt Lake, April 6. -The semi-annual Conference of tho Mormon Church, aftor four day's session, adjourned this afternoon. It was uueveutful. The upholding of poly gamy was firmly impressed upon the Saints, in spite of the laws of the Government and the decisions of tho Supreme Court. One hundred missionaries were chosou for woik in the United States and Europe, Of this number, twenty-live were assigned to Arizona, where the Church is dctonniucd to gain the balance of power aud control of tho Territory. They already have a strong footing there, and a large emigration from Utah to that Territory has been ordered. The decision in the Miles polygamy case iv their favour by the Supreme Court of the United States ij regarded as an interposi tion of God in thoir behalf, and they feol greatly encouraged over it.

Conspirators Sentence Gladstone to Death.

It can be stated on the best authority, that the Executive Council of the "Skir mishers," a New York Irish Society at a meeting a few evenings ago in New York, considered the matter of the shooting to death of two men at Ballaghadcrn, County Mayo, on the previous Saurday by the pjlicc. It was decided that the deaths were brought about by tho enforcemcut of Gladstone !i Coercion Act. Gladstone was declared guilty of murder, and sentenced to death. How the sentence ia to be executed is now the question under sou sidcration.. They said they consider that the Queen is a nouentity and hold the Premier to be responsible ruler.

CORRESPONDENCE.

PONSONBY REGATTA.

(To the Editor.) SIR, — Notwithstanding " Ponsonby's " opinion to the contrary, I believe the ver dict of the public was favourable to last year's committee. That the Lite Regatta was not in all respects successful is attribu table to unavoidable circumstances (such as light wind, &c.,) for which tho committee cannot be held responsible. Your corres pondent takes exception to the new com mittee. Now, sir, I ask what arc sub scribers to do at the general meeting. Name after name of supposed eligible and desirable men for the position arc sub mitted, but these gentlemen will not stand, [f then the selcctiou is not as fortunate as might be desired, tho fault liea not with ihose who do the best they can under the circumstances, but rather with those who do not attend the meetings, and whoso chief interest in the Rega^ca appears to be fault finding and profitless advice, such as " Pon sonby " indulges in. His suggestion that the present committee should be requested to resign must emanate from a strangely constituted mind, and will be no doubt treated with well deserved contempt. " Ponsonby " is hardly fortunate enough, in his selection of names, for amongst those who enjoy his patronage there are, I be lieve, at least four, who, during the three years of the club's operations, have not con tributed a sirjgle shilling to its support. While amoug3t former members of the committee mentioned by him are some who were conspicuous for what they did not do. If wo fall back on former committee men, in all fairness, let it be those who performed the work, but who are ignored by "Pon sonby " in the list of names he submits. I would ask "Ponsonby," who ap pears to speak with some degree of authority, what are the peculiar qualifications of Messrs Jos. Kees, Andrew Stewart, A. Devore, and T. Peacock, beyond the ornamental part, which will, I am sure, be admitted, but which is not usually, considered an essential in matters of this kind. Haviug some knowledge of tho work to be done,' I am willing to back the' present committee against that suggestpd by Ponsonby for hard work, popularity (a very essential qualification), and an interest in the affairs of the club. I any by all means lot us have a more powei fal and influential committee if possible1, but not the incongruous mass iv whose favour Ponsonby speaks.—l am, &c, New Dominion.

Another Serious Fire.

BEDELL'S BREWERY DESTROYED.

Incendiarism Suspected,

It will be very surprising indeed if Auck land does not speedily regain the unenvi able reputation of being the " city of fire?," which she formerly possessed. Within the last few weeks there has been a rapid suc cession of fires, and in every instance the damage to and loss of property has been considerable. The list of these occurrences was increased by another which occurred at an early hour this morning. On this occa sion, Mr Beedell's brewery, in tho Great North Road, was totally wrecked, and several thousand pounds worth of property destroyed. Like its predecessors, the fire in question was discovered between the hours of midnight and daybreak.

THE OUTBREAK.

The fire was first observed about three o'clock by a Mrs Walker who resides opposite. She observed a bright glare shining through the windows, and she therefore awakened her husband. He gave the alarm as quickly as possible, and in a very short time the bells were ringing. Mr Walker also roused a man named Curnold, who has been employed in tho brewery as a malster. Whcn'Mrs Walker first observed the reflec tion, the whole interior of tho building ap peared to be in llatneß. They did not ap pear to be confined to any particular part of the premises. A large ciowd of people speodily collected on tho stone, and tho Fire Brigade under Supcriutcndant Hughes, and the police force under Superintendent Thompson speodily put in an appearance. The latter were uscfui in keeping back the crowd, and thus enabling tho Brigade to have sullicient room for their operations.

PROGRESS OF THE FIUE,

Of courao there was not the slightest chanco of caving the building or any of the contents. VVhon tho Jfiro Brigade nrrived tlio roof had fallen in, and the intorior of the building had boon nlnioßb entirely con sumed. Attention was therefore devoted to the malt-houso ut the roar, and tho adjoining house. Thcro was no proper supply of water available, but iv quuntity was procured from neighbouring wells and tanks. This was directed agaiust tho build ings reform! to, and the lire was prevented from extending to them. The combustible materials in the browovy were soon con sumed, and the spot where the building had stood was soon n honp of smouldering ruins. Tho spectators had de parted for their various homes, tho Fire Brigade remaining behind to sec that thcro was no further danger.

THE PROPER/TV DESTROYED,

The brewery was a fine brick building, of three llonrs and a cellar. It wns formerly owned by Mr W. J. Suiter, jbut was pur chased from him by tho present owner—Mr Bedell. It is said to have cost him £5,000. Last week the property was tho subject of a lawsuit, in which th« National Bank was tho plaintiff, 'and Mr Bcedell the defendant. It is a'singular fact tnyt another brewery ou the same site owned by Mr Suiter was by fire about two years aj;o. The whole of tho contents wero consumed, but the horse and trap wcro removed from the stable by some neighbours.

THE ORIGIN.

The cause of tho outbreak is at present a mystery, but incendiarism is strongly sus pected. Owing to the recent _ law suit, no work has been done in tho brewery for the last three weeks, aud con sequently no fires were lighted. Messrs Kowo and Curnold, the workmen, informed our representative that thoy wcro in the premises until 5.30 p.m. yesterday. They locked up the place at that hour, and did not return again. They had not been using any lire during the day, nor any lights in closing up the place. The fact that the whole of the interior ap peared to be in flames when Mrs Walker saw it, confirms the opinion that thoro has been incendiarism.

MR BEDELL |A HEAVY LOSER,

Mr Bedell has been a very considerable loser. The Bank held a heavy mortgage on the place, ami therefore they take the proceeds of tho insurance. Mr Bedell, who resides opposite to tho brewery, is confined to his bed through illucss.

INSURANCES. The insurances are as follow : — BUILDIJNG. National £1,000 Now Zealand £1,000 ! MAGHINEKY AND PLANT. Standard £GOO STOCK. Stand ird £300 New Zealand £600 Total £3,500 Tho Colonial Office had n policy of £800 on the malt-house and stock, bu' they were not destroyed.

MINING NEWS.

COKOMANDEL.

Unios Beacii.—The report statiug the Union Beach mine was to bo closed appears to have been incorrect. The directors passed a resolution a mouth or so ago that, pending further arrangements, the rails in the lower working were to be raised, and the plant left in auch trim that, if it was deemed advisable to cease operations for a time, everything could be left in perfect order. There was, however, no ultimate decision arrived at to close the mine; on the contrary, it has been resolved to continue operations, though the precies nature or ex tent of "which has not yet been determined. It was never intended to dispense with Mr Straughan's services while any work at all was going on in the mine, the directors and shareholders being perfectly satisfied with their mine manager's ability to carry out their instructions, and work the mine to the best advantage. This week a find of some importance was made in the cross-cut from the road level, a streak of clay was .cut, which in a few feet ot driving developed into a tiny leader of bluish quartz, carrying good gold. The fact of it getting richer as it is followed is highly encouraging. Concurring Hero.—A survey of this mine is now being made by Captain Lloyd. South Kapanga.—ln washing out a dish of mullock, some small pieces of quartz were picked .out well charged with gold. Some rich stone ia expected as operations are carried on. TiieSucckss.— A houso for the manager is about finished. v The intermediate level is being pushed on by. the Queen of England shareholders. Yesterday there was nothiug fresh to report in the main tunnel. KAPANGA..—During the week a necessary stoppage took place, somewhat delaying the Binking of the shatt. The leader cut the previous week looks about the same. The vigorous operations carried on in connection with the erection of the battery, are causing some stir here, and although a few miners are assisting there is also a good deal of steady work going on in most, if not all the claims. There is some splendid crushing stuff being taken out of several of the different reefs, aud as soon as the battery is completed a steady yield of gold from the Tiki may be regarded as a cer tainty. It is satisfactory to know, that the stampers are to be of a heavy class, and though some think the price for the battery high, it is not so. The firms supplying it arc giving the latest and best materials and appliances, so that the most complete 3atisfaction shall bo felt by those share holders who crush, confidently expecting that other batteries will be required, and that the one now being erected, will be the means of leading to further business in the ■ engine and battery line. Blackmore's.—Have got through the hard country in .their cross-cut near :' Barrett's boundary, and are now driving i through the best of ground. A very few days should bring them to the reef which Bennett cut while ttenchiDg, and from which blocks; . of stone were taken weighing over one' • hundredweight, showing gold in the solid. Blackmore's show a rich specimen they :; picked up on the surface, near the whare, and aro driving to catch the leader. Perssverance. (McDonnel's) — There was a good deal of talk about a new find on this ground during this week.. On examin- I ation, I found that a new reef had been cut, ' which gives rich dish prospects, but saw no ! gold ia the stone. ' New Golden Belt.—The reef now : ' averages about 2J feet in thickness, strong ' colours of gold may be seen in the stone at ? every break down, not specimens certainly, , but the quartz is of the right character, and ! if operations are carried on throughout the winter, with the same energy as during the > past few weeks, the manager may have the 1 the good luck to report breaking into a rich ' run of gold. . ? Home Kulk (Sheehan).— There ia an ex ' cellent show of gold in tho intermediate level. This mine, when thoroughly opened i up, and a fe»v months more steady work • done, may yet take the shine out of the t Bhmarck and Tokatea, of which mines tKere is ao much said nowadays,

INTRODUCTION OF MULBERRY,

The Industrial Association yesterday re solved to ask the Government to take steps to introduce the white Mulberry, with a view to establish the production of tho silkworm "grain" for exportation to Europe. J. Walsh, of Lyttelton, has imported a vessel from Tasmania, with a view to com mencing deep-sea-fishing.

A SUSPICIOUS CIRCUM STANCE.

AN incident of no great import in itself, but which, when regarded in the light of recent occurrences is calculated to arouso suspicion, took place last night in the shop of Mr W. Jones, tobacconist. Mr Jones was shutting up his Bhop at ten minutes past eleven last night, preparatory to joining three friends who were waiting for him in tho streot, when he heard tlio handlo of tho back door turned gently as if soino poison_ wero endeavouring to enter. Ho called in his friends, and they patiently nwuited with hira'fur'thcr developments. Presently the handle was again turned. Thia timo Mr Jones slipped out and informed Constable Hist, who, accompanied by Constable Collis, hurried round to the rear of the premises, while Mr Jones and his friends made their way to tho yard from tho shop. No trace or appearance of a trespasser was fouud, however. Mr Lavcrs owua a place at tho rear which is said to bo always accessible to vagranta. It seems, too, that by mounting a wall in tho yard, ono of tho City Council windows can bo reached. Tho Council was sitting at the time, and the light of tho g;u was streaming through it. Tho policemen searched diligently, but without avail. If burglary wan beiug •attempted, the butglar must have taken a prompt ularm and beaten a hasty retreat.

VESSEL ASHORE AT LITTLE BARRIER.

No satisfactory tidings with refcronco to tho vessel reported ashore at tho Littlo Barrier reached town this morning. Mr Parker loft in the Custom's launch to mako iuejuiry of several schooners which wore coming up tho Channel. Our reporter accompanied tho launch, and forwardsas follows :—

CHINESE IMMIGRATION IN TO NEW ZEALANE.

(BY TELEGRAPH, OWN COERESPONDKNT.)

WELLINGTON, this day. A leetuen ordered by tho Government of Chinese immigration and emigration for New Zealand, has been received to-day, and shows that in 1879 the number of Chinese avrnvah was 329 ; the departures, 39G. In 1880 the arrivals were 296 ; departures, 386; decrease of Chinese population in two years, 156. It is believed that this year tho reverse of this order of things will be shewn. A fresh tide of Chinese immigration apparently having set in towards New Zealand.

ANOTHER CASE OF SUS PECTED BURGLARY.

The petty burglars who appear to bo at work in the city just now, are evidently extending their depredations to the suburbs. Last night, or early this morning, tho Ponsonby Club Hotel was entered and the bar till with its con tents carried off. The loss was not dis covered till sevou o'clock this morn ing, when the barman, finding no small change about, wcut to his master's room in order to procure some. Mr IStauford told the man that he wou.d find some in the till, but to his great surprise he was informed that the till could not bo found. Hastily dressing himself, he went downstairs and instituted a search for the missing receptacle of small com. In a few minutes he discovered it lying under the verandah outside at the north-east angle of the buildiug. It was empty. When tbo proprietor retired to rest at 1 o'clock this morning it contained 15s or 16s in silver, and it is Just possible that the establishment may have been rolievcd of a few bottles of spirits as well, for theycould be taken without being missed. It is thonght that the thief must have entered by toe bar window, which was left unlocked yesterday afternoon, in order to admit of some measurements by carpenters who are at work upon the place. At any rate it was still unlocked this morning when the robbery was made known. The police have the matter io. hand.
