For the cause that lacks assluance, For the wrong that needs res'static For tho future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

OUR telegrams from Pungarehu to-day re port tbat the glorious work of our victori. ous army proceeds without a check. The natives having taken no notico of the pro clamation, were bundled out of their houses neck and crop, and sat quietly on the ground while their homes were ransacked. To-day's business resulted in the seizure of about 250 arms, chiefly fowl ing pieces and old-fashioned weapons. All accounts agree in the con clusion that the natives will steadily refuse to move, in which case it is reported their chiefs will be arrested aud whores burned. After wbicb, a, war medal will no doubt be struck off, with Mr Bryce's huad on one side and the Queen's on the other, and the troops, having been thanked in the name of Her Majesty for their noble aid, will be dismissed to their homes, blessing God tbat thoy are English men living in a Christian country, and are ' not under the rule of the Czar of Russia or Sultan of Turkey, who might have slaughtered the inhabitants ot such a very troublesome village. At the opening of the New Plymouth assizes to-day, Mr Justice Gillies declared that constitutionally the employment of armed men, unless by the sanction of Parliament for the suppression of an armed aggression, or to enforce the civil law where its ordinary processes had failed, was illegal, and a menace to the liberty of the subject. From this decisive expression of opinion—which is more fully stated in Mr Justice Blackburn's comments on the celebrated case of Governor Eyre—it would appear that His Honor does not exactly hold with the recent proceedings.

A meeting of the Working Men's Political Association will be held on Thursday evening at half-past 7 o'clock in the Temperance Hall to consider matters connected with the approaching elections.

The following gentleman of tho legal profession started for Wellington to-day by the Wonaka from the Manakau :—Judge Macdonald, Mr Barstow, and MrDevore, as members of the Judicature Commission ; Mr Edwin Hesketh, to attend the Court of Appeal ; also Mr Alexander on behalf of the defendants in the case of Whitakerv.

The following gentlemen were duly elected:—Messrs Hugh Butler, Henry Byron, J. A, Pond, Graves Aicken, H. J. Wickens, and Samuel Tnrtle. Secretary, Mr F A White; I aaditer, Mr J Waymouth

The service of song, "Tho Start in Life," ' was given last evening in the Franklin Road Church, bnt in consequence of the wet weather, the attendance was not so large as was anticipated, The story is of simple constructure, and in favour of total abstinence. The passages were distinctly read by Bey. J. Guy, the esteemed minister of tho Chapel, and the vocal portions of the service were under the direction of Mr Firth. The Franklin choir, led by Mr Booth, rendered the hymns in a very credi table manner.

The promenade concert and ball, in cele bration of the anniversary of the National Independent Order of Oddfellows, will even tuate this evening, and promises (like the one on the same date last year) to be a grand success. Every effort has been put forth by the committee to provide all things needful and first-class for their patrons, both with regard to refreshments and enter tainment. Some of the best singers of tho city (both professional and amateur) are engaged, and some new songs and fresh talent will be introduced. Separate tickets are issued for extra ladies, and a female attendant In the cloak-room will prevent any confusion or annoyanco with regard to wardrobe, &o. The admission fee (5s double ticket) is low, but in this case a sur plus is not looked for.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Par nell Borough Council washejd last evening. Mr John King wrote stating that Henty Schumaka was using tho omnibus stand granted to him (the former) and interfering with his time-table. It was agreed to ask Mr King for further particulars.—A letter from Mr Hill re Scarborough Terrace drain age was received, and the writer referred to l his landlord.—The Streets Committee re commended an experiment with hydraulic lime on channel and road from Rutland street to Selwyn Terrace; also that pro perty-holders in Cheshire ■ street be applied to for small portions of their allotments to widen the street.— The overseer of works was instructed to attend to general drainage, and gravelling, etc., in Wynyard-street.— A petition was put In, signed by a number of residents, complaining of the unfitness of the Inspec tor of Nuisances to attend to his duties, and making several charges, such as drunken ness, against him.—-After considerable dis cussion had 'taken place, it was resolved "That the petitioners be asked whether the Inspector had ever been drunk when called upon, to perform his duty.1'

Wo understand that the result of the recent conference between the Domain Board and tho Acclimatisation Society is a proposal that the former body should contribute £250 and the latter body £150 per annum for the maintenance and proper working of the gardens.

Kenneth Harris, a little boy, son of Mr L. B, Harris of Huntly, was knocked down and run over by a coal truck yesterday, and had his thigh broken, Dr Edgelow, of Hamilton, who was fortunately near the spot, at once set tho bone.

Owinrs to the inclemency of the weather last evening, the monthly meeting of the members of the Auckland Institute, on "the suggestion of tho president, Mr Thomas Peacock, Esq., was postponed until Mon day evening next. The members generally thought this course desirable, tho papors to bo submitted being of more than ordinary interest.

Mr Carlaw, of the North Shoro, has com pleted his now luncheon rooms next to the residence of Mr Mays, aud within livo minutes' walk of the wharf.

An inquest on tbo remains which have been identified as those of tho late Captain Kenneth McKenzio, of the schooner Bona, wrecked near the entrance to Kaipara Har« hour, was held yesterday at tho Britomart Hotel. Captain Pcnncl was foreman ot the jury, and the inquest was hold by Dr Phil son, District Coroner. After hearing the evidence of Jamos Stewart, who found the body, and of relatives of the deceased, the jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned."

A boat was capsized yesterday near Whangarei Heads, containing two men. Tho boat was seen near Parua Bay towards Marsden Point at 11, 30 a.m. A strong wind was blowing at the timo, and the boat was seen suddenly to turn over and sink. Miss Aubrey saw ono of tho men in tho act of swimmiug, and hoard cries of help. Mr Munro and ono or two other persons put oil to tho spot, but tho boat and its occupants had irretrievably disap peared. ' Mr Johnson, of tho s.s. "Argyle, saw the boat from the bridge, bnt paid no particular attention to hor, not dreaming of danger, It is unknown at present wbo tho persons were, but it is presumed that they were Bobb and Morgan, who were in iho habit of meeting the Argyle «at Marsden Point for business purposes. A subsequent telegram states that Mr Morgan and step son wero tho persons drowned by the cap sizing of their boat at Whangarei Heads. During tho past tow weeks a company under tho name of tho St. flelier's Bay, Land, Building and Steam Ferry Company, has been in process of formation, with the object of opening for building purposes tho throe splendid properties at St, Hclior's Bay owned by tho Auckland Stud Company, Messrs Gifiord and Evans, and the Messrs Gollan. The scheme includes, ia addition to the acquirement and salo of the properties in buildiugallotments, thecrectionof awharf at tbe bay and tho building of a ferry steamer to connect tho embryo suburb with the city. The sceucry of St. Helier's Bay is unequalled anywhere in the vicinity of Auckland, and tho wonder ia that its pleasant slopes aro not now covered with pretty villas and homesteads. A meeting of those iutercaed in tho project was held to-day, and iho Com pany was successfully floated. £12,000 were subscribed in tho room, and the balance of the shares will no donbt be speedily taken up. It was decided to commence the wharf at once, and £2,500 were set aside for a steamer. Tho following gentlemen havo been appointed directors with power to add to their number :—Dr Purchas and Messrs T. Morrin, Joseph Bennett, J. L. Clark, T. Lindsay, J. Gilford, and William Aitkcn. Mr Hicksou was appointed secretary and Mr W. Coleman solicitor to tho Company. Five, designs were received for the wharf, and referred to D. E. McDonald (Harbour Board engiueer) for his report.

The oidinary meeting of the Waitemata County Council, being the last meeting ot the year, was held iv Mr James's office this forenoon, Mr J. W, Waller presiding. Letters were disposed of as follows: Mr John Rigley, applying that £10, the balance of £100 voted, be spent on the road half way between Quick's stables aud Titerangi, agreed to.—Charles Jells, offer ing to accept the office of pound-keeper for the Pukeatua district - agreed, the salary to consist of _ one-half tho pound fees.—George Laing, stating that only £25 out of £100 voted to the Muddy Creek district had been expended, laid on tho tabic.—Dovouport Highway District Board, stating that Mr Finch had been appointed pound-keeper, and requesting that the same bo gazetted, granted. —Chairman late Dis trict Board, applying that balanco of sum voted be spent on portion of the road marked "yet unformed," granted. A statement of accounts was read,shewing the liabilities to be £287, covoring works com pleted,^ course of completion, and general expenses. No assets were shewn, but tho Council regarded the result as very satis factory.

A member of the Thames Naval Brigade, writing to a friend in Auckland, gives a very interesting account of the experiences of tho Auckland men on their way to the front. He says that the passage from the Manukau was a stormy ono, and many of tho boys became peculiarly attached to their posi tions on deck during the night, and indulged in tho melancholy amusement of feeding the little fishes. The food supplied on the steamer was not by any means appetizing, and there was not even a. pannikin or plate to be had, so that the men had to "linger it." Several cups were lent them, and it was amusing to watch the patient resigna tion with which each man waited tor his turn to arrive. Some of the land colts wero astounded, and not a little disgusted, to see the manner in which the old veterans put the "tucker" out of sight. Tho men landed at Opunake in surf-boats during a steady and decidedly uncomfort able drizzling rain. When all wero on shore, they inarched up to the redoubt, and from thence to a large building where they spent the night. There was some delay in getting the rations, and a number of the Thames Navals wero seized with their old spirit of independence, and went to the hotel for tea. It was the first square meal that they had since leaving Auckland, and the general opinion is that the hotel-keeper did not profit much by the transaction. Although they had a march of sixteen miles to under take the next day, most of the men sat up late on Tuesday night writing home to their friends.

The members of the Civil Service Crickot Club are requested to be on the Domain Crioket ground to-morrow, at 1.30 p.m, sharp, to play against the Opera Company,,

Mr Sloane and his son, a lad of 13, and Mrs Peroy and her infant retired to reßt a few minutes after nine o'clook, Mr Sloane having previously extinguished the gas jets and Are. A few minutes before two o'clock, Mrs Percy was awakened by a crackling noise from the kitchen. She immediately got out of bod, and called Mr Sloane, who aroused hia boo John.

Tho house of Dr Honeyman suffered consider ably by the Are, but happily it was saved, there being a conßtont supply of water at hand; still his loas is estimated at near £100. According to Mr Sloane's statement, his house was insured for £801) in the Colonial office, and his furniture in the Standard for £200, but his loss, over and above amounts of insurances, he considors about £500.

Since its institution nine or ten years ago, our Agricultural Show in importance, mag. nitudc, and influence has advanced pp/ri passu with the industrial progress of the city and province. Each succcsaivo exhibi tion has been marked by a steady increase in the number and variety of tho entries, an appreciable improvement in tho quality of the articles or stock displayed, and a per ceptible augmentation of public interest in the competitions, Tho Show has now be come as necessary to our existence as a community, and as valuable a re cord of our growth, as our an nual regatta, with which it stands on an equal footing. The one promotes and encourages a love for aquatics, and engen ders a spirit of emulation among our naval craftsmen, while the other holds out re wards for merit in tho manufacture of local products, and secures honourable recogni tion tor those who aro sedulously striving to improve our studs, herds, and flocks, by the infusion of better strains of blood. That both Agricultural Show and Regatta have succeeded to au eminent degree in achiev ing these highly commendable aims, is a fact which hardly needs demonstration at this stago of their career. It is self-evident. A comparison of the Show catalogues for the last few years will servo to substantiate all the congratulatory statements we have mado with respect to the great agricultural event of the year in this province. A general advance is noticeable in every department of stock, produce, and manufacture, shewing tbat the air of prosperity and content which pervades the city aud which colours oar statistical re turns extends throughout the country, and is not confined to tho limited area which is comparatively well-populated. The citation of a fow figures will strengthen these asser tions. In 1879, the total number of exhibits was 605 ; in ISBO they mounted to 620, and now, by a sudden bound, thoy have risen as high as 704, while, if each item of tho exhibition is to be numbered separately, the gain would be still more apparent. The number of horses exhibited has increased from 112 in 1879 and 124 in 1880, to 126 in 1881. Sheep have advanced in number, from 69 in 1879, and only 63 last year, to 77 this year ; and poultry and pigeons from 37 in 1579, and 42 in 1880 to 72 iv 1881, while local manufactures have similarly progressed from 58 in 1879 and 85 in 1880 to 88 in 1881. Cattle, which in 1879 numbered 129, were thinned down to 90 in 1880, but now have risen again to 98. With dogs, the rule, however, docs not hold good, but it is the only exception. Their number in 1879 was 111, last year it was 129, but on this occa sion it is not higher than 83. As we ire marked before, tho general results aro very satisfactory, and such as no ono interested in the province can fail to admit or would choose to disregard.

The continuous and heavy rain of yester day foreboded a gloomy and inclement opening day for the Show, with all its atten dant train of withdrawn exhibits, disap pointed exhibitors, few and discontented spectators, niud-staiucd stock, and a general feeling of discomfort and annoyance. For tunately, however, the elements belied the omens, and proved auspicious. The rain ceased with the dawn, and the morning broke over tho city with the cheery promise of a fine day. The clouds which streaked the sky served to moderate tho ardour of the sun's heat, while acooliDg breeze pleasantly tempered the atmosphere. The arrange ment and classification of tbo exhibited stock and articles had been judi ciously made, and despite tbo brusqueness of badgered and perplexed officials, and the hurrying hither and thither of anxious and perspiring exhibitors, good humour aud geniality prevailed. A good many country visitors mado an early appearance upon the ground, and occupied themselves with an inspection of the horses, cattle, and sheep, but beyond exhibitors there was a very slight representation of citizens. People seem to boresurvini* themselves forto-mcrrow. i We subjoin a list of prize-winners as com- j plete as we have been able to make it up to i the hour of going to press, with some criti- j cal remarks upon each department of tbe Show :— BLOOD STOCK. Judges: Messrs Wm. Heslop, Wm. Hately, and Thomas Belcher. Stewards : Messrs Wm. McLaughlin, W. S, Styak, and Joseph Tye, The display of blood stock has never been beaten in this part of Now Zealand, and would do credit to any country south of the Line. Musket, of course, and his grand young progeny occupied a prominent place, and attracted the lion's share of attention, but tbe others also found admirers and eulogists. It is superfluous to say anything at this time of the day about Musket, for his good points have been expatiated upon, and his substance, form, and breeding spoken of so often tbat very little is left to say. It will suffice to remark that he ap poarsin excellent condition on this occasion, and admits of no rivalry. Cap-a-pie makes up in beauty and symmetry what be lacks in size and strength, whilo Anteros is also an animal of unsurpassed breeding. He was rather lively and skittish to-day. : Tho yearling colts showed plenty of good 'quality, and the fillies were very fair of their kind. Ouida seemed to bo most fancied of the two year old fillies.

Judges: Mr J. S. Carer-ill, New Ply mouth; Mr John Elliott, Waitara; Mr Pearce, Patea, Stewards : Messrs James

Wyllie, — Westney, and F. J. Willis,

So far as horned cattle are concerned, the Show is the best ever seen in New Zealand.

It is far in advance of last year's in this res pect, both in regard to the number of the

entries received, and excellence of exhibits,

By tho courtesy of those in charge of the animals, I was permitted to make an inspec tion of the stock before they were led out to the ring to be judged. Shorthorns,—The entiiesfor'the classes under this head were

both numerous and excellent, aud the cattle shown cannot be excelled in New Zealand. There were 37 entries, compared with 30 last year.

SWINE,

Judges : Messrs W. Motion, — Bilkey and E. Bovey. Steward :Mr Fegler. '

The swine are rather disappointing than otherwise, the breeding not being so high as usual, and the animal for the most part being under-sized. Mr Stebbing carried off tne prize for Berkshire boars with a young boar of not more than fifteen months'old, but possessing very fine points. It formed the subject of laudatory remarks. Some capital litters are also to be seen.

Extraordinary Case. — Kidnap ping a Bridegroom,

i Ths following extraordinary case of abduction, ; I in which a bridegroom was kidnapped in th 9 neighbourhood of London on the eve of marriage, is from the-4' Home News," Sept. 23. The gentle man, the Rev. K. B. Kenhard, Rector of j Ma—ihall, Dorset, states: On the ovening of the I 13th September I engaged a sitting-room "at E tbe Castle Hotel, Woodford, where I in-■ tended to sleep that night, previous to*' my marriage on the following morning,- W hen sitting in my private-room waiting a— ncr at 8 p.m., I was introduced 10 a person who represented that he had come from Woodiord, 1 in Mr Fraser's carriage, a relative of mine; that Mr if raser particularly wished to see me on a matter of importance. Under the apprehension that the gentleman might have had news to break to me, I cut off dinner, and went down si airs with my visitors, to what I supposed to ba ; Mr Eraser's carriage. I entered without sus picion, and immediately the alleged messenger took his seat beside me. Another man steppn g out of the darknesa, placed himself opposite me, and said he was alto a friend of Jar Fraser's, My suspicions of foul play aroused, but too late, I the carriage being In motion. Looking out of the window, I found we were not being driven in the direction of Mr Fraser's house.. I attempted to appeal to the coachman, but wan": immediately laid hold of and held down by my companions. I shouted for assistance, but was seized by the throat and silenced. My assailants were both powerful men. My first impression was that they were conveying me to tho forest torobmeof banknotes—£loo—which I carried in preparation for wedding tour. I said, "Is your object robberyr They said, "l/o. we ore not robbers," but refused any explanation. As We proceeded, I shouted for help whenever ang one was within hearing. At every such attempt. Was gagged and seized by the throat. In order to leave a trace of* the route we were •following, I tlirew my hat out of the window. They drove on regardless of my cries, and struggles, through the forest; crossed Lon don, passing the Angle Hotel, Islington, where I endeavoured again, without success, to invoke the police and public who thronged the thor ouKhfares.atopp—_- atjlaat at a house which Ii afterwards discovered to be in Hunter-street; near Brunswick Square. A few seconds before we stopped, I saw a policeman. Shouting oa lustily aa I could, with the hands of these men at my throat, I was dragged out ot the carriage aa soon as it stopped, and here, again, I struggled j with all my strength to releasa myself from my captots. I called the police before the house, bat, ln spite of all my struggles, waa forcibly dragged into the front room on the ground floor, and then told that a gentleman would appear in a few minutes, who would explain all, The pretended messenger then removed the fire-irons from the fender, and left me alone in the room. After some time I was removed into a little room at the back of the house, where I found two small beds prepared for the nisht. I waa invited to occupy one of the beds. I lay; down for some hours without taking off my clothes', reflecting on the perilous situation in which I found myself. I heard several knocks at the front door, and men appeared to be con sulting with confederates. Early in the morn ing the messenger entered the room with his I clothes on. I asked the man several questions with a view of ascertaining the object of my detention.'. He gave me to understand he: had been inatructed to detain me' as ';■'■ a lunatic, that in the morning a doctor would come and give hia opinion on my state of mind, _18 a.m. I asked for breakfast. They readily complied, and brought me a nicely cooked mutton chop,tea, bread and butter. -I'thenv appealed to them again to release me, and they told me they could not do so consistently with instructions until 11,30, when In the event of no | doctor appearing, they would let me go. I waa ': very anxious to communicate with my friends I at Woodford. I offered the messenger a £5 I Bonk of Knglond note, which he accepted, and« undertook to send a telegram to Woodford. The 9 telegram was confided to a second man, toH whom I gave £1. This telegram, however, was ' never sent. As the time for the doctor's vktt I approached I was given to understand that I money was always a consideration, and that I even £a would not be without influence in determining the character of the doctor's report, At 11.30 «.m. a letter was handed to a messen ger which he read to me to this effect: In case I ot the doctor failing to come, detain Kennard till 12. I was very anxious to obtain my liberty I without further deloy, and offered the man I another £3 note to let me out. He consented", 11 and I was allowed to open the street door and depart without further molestation. On getting out I found a hansom cab coming up tbe street, and immediately got in and told the cabman to drive to Great Eastern Railway Station. There I took a freßh'cab, and drove straight to Woodford Church. Ih&vedrawn :n up this statement of the facts of the case, every I one of whioh I am prepared to confirm on on 3 oath if required. It should be added that the 1 maniage cook place upon the day following tha I rev. gentleman's release, The police believe■ they have discovered tho honse in London to ■*/. which the carriage was driven, and it is Btated -.. that a warrant will bB applied for against the H supposed abductors. This most extraordinary ■ outrage, and the mysterious and romantic way iv whioh it was effected, has aroused an tin-j1 nanal amount of interest in "the metropolis. H The police, from investigations made, - are of the opinion that i the -- objeot in for which it was perpetrated was not to extort i I money, but to prevent the marriaga of the Tbv. IB gentleman with Miss Bade. The plot waa deeply laid, and the chief, mover well sapplled W with moons, as the expansive arrangementsH show. Tho authorities have no doubt as to «e-;g| originator of the abduction, who is a relative oflH the rev. gentleman's. This person, who Is hovfi other than a doctor, is at present under police . v .-v, surveillance, bat the police can take no action— M the matter until the victim of the outrage b»s I laid an information against a perpetrator. Ths t doctor, in engaging lodgings at :.: St.. Cf Panoras, • only took' rooms for o fewiji days, , bnt afterwards sent two .POMM'sl more to the landlady to keep the rooms, but by I j that time the clergyman had escaped. #« From this, ft would appear as though the plana SB were not sufficiently matured. The doctor Blw , informed the landlady to treat the patient .we11,;...'..1} and to supply nim with everything he desired. Bhe was led to expect he was a lunatio totaduca jcy one of the keepers by whom he was attended 11 to send a telegram to Woodford, Kennard ga~>...;|B him a sovereign besides the B—!llfng to psyiW*l the telegram, ond to the other ottendant no I gave another sovereign to buy him a hat. Kind ing he was still held in bondage, but that his keepers were alive to the attractions of money, Kennard offered a £5 note to eaoh, besides ttixj or four sovere'gns whioh he hod loose influßM pocket. Thii procured his release. Kennaidls." ■~ a eentleman, Bixty yeara old, ot good position;;;;H| His first wife died three years ago, leaving ...• seven children, all grown np.
