When the mail left San FranoUco, every thing was ovorshadowed by the national mourning for the death of Trcsidout Gltt* field, Iho newspapers were drapcu in i black, business was almoctsuspcndod, and J tho cities throughout tho Union were preparing for a solemn celebration in com pliance with tho following proclamation by i President Arthur :— rEOCLAMATION. Whereas, in his inscrutable wisdom, it! baa pleased God to remove from us tho | illustrious hend of the natron, James A., Gurfield, late president of tho United States ; and, whereas, it is fitting that the deep grief which tills all hearts should manifest itself with one accord to the throne of Infinite Grace, and that we should bow before the Almighty and sock from Him that consolation iv our atll.ic tiuu and that isanctification of our loss which He is able and will ing to vouchsafe; now, therefore, in obedience to the sacred dnty, and in accordance with the desire of the people, i, Cheater A. Arthur, Presideut of the United {States ot America, do hereby appoint Mon day ucxt, the 26th day of September, on which day the remains of our honoured and beloved dead will bo consigned to their last resting-place on earth, to be obacrved throughout tho United States as a day of humiliation and mourning, and I earnestly recommend all tho people to assemble on that day in their respective places of divine worship, and there to render alike their tribute to sorrowful submission to the will of Almighty God and reverence and love for the memory and character of our late Chief Magistrate, In witni'Hs whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of tho United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, ou the 22ad day of September, in the year of our Lord 18S1, and of the Independence of the United States the 105 th.

... Chester A. Arthur, President, Jas. G. Blaino, Secretary of State. The response to this appeal was universal. Political factions vied with'ehch other'in testifying their grief over the national loss ; expressions of sympathy poured in. from abroad, and for tbc week following the ex- President's demise.the nation waa literally wrapped up in its sorrow. Such were tho arrangements, that a catafalque was raised in every city of importance throughout tho States, while funeral processions, thousands of miles apart, wore simulating the cortege • which actually followed President Gavtield's remains to their last resting place. A practical expression of sympathy with tho widow was displayed in the growing volume of tho national sub scription list, which exceeded 300,000 dol lars. Congress was also expected to vote her tho balance of the salary for the lato President's term of office; and a national 25 cent, subscription for the erection of a monument was expected to reach atery largo sum.

A less pleasing featuro ia tho closing sccno of tho Bad drama was tho wrangle among the doctors. The official report of the post mortem, signed by eight physicians who were present, ran as follows:—"An abscess cavity six inches by four in dimen sions wan found in the vicinity of the gall bladder, between the liver and transverse colon, which were strongly inte'radhereot. It did not involve tho substance of the lircr, and no communication was found bo 'tween it and the wound. Along suppura tion, channel extended from the external wound, between tho loin muscles and the right kidney, almost to the right groin, This channel is now known to have been due to the burrowing of pus from the wound. It was supposed during life to have been the track of the ball. On exami nation of the' organs of the chest, evidences were found of severe bronchitis, with broncho-pneumonia on the lower portions of tho right lung, "which, though of much loss extent than the left lung, con tained no abscesses, and. the heart no clot. The liver was enlarged and fatty, but free; from abscesses, nor were any found In any other organ, except the left kidney, which contained near its surface a small abscess about one-third of an inch in diameter. In. reviewing .the history of the case, in' eon-; nectibn with the autopsy, it is quite evi dent that the different suppurating sur faces, and especially the fractured spongy tissues of the vertebra;, furnish sufficient explanation of tho. septic condition which lastod so long,"

! The report wus violently attacked by Various prominent medical men, who dis puted its accuracy and assailed the treat ment .of the- physicians. Kx-Surgeou- General Hammond publicly declared : " The doctors nursed him as brothers, but attendance alono could not cure -him. I regard the entire treatment as an unmiti gated .outrage, and the result of it was the death of thepatient. Butthogenoral opinion among physicians not actuated by jeal ousy appeared to be that the caso was treated with all the surgical skill possible, and the wound was mortal from the first. Mrs Garh'eld, after the autopsy,. seemed relieved by the assurance which it gave that human skill could not have done more. The London " Lancet," an impartial critic, says:—"Tho bullet did not wound any vital part in its path, and. had the serious wound it made closed up, alt would have been well, but the wound did not heal be cause its walls were bruised and so injured that primary union was im possible, The retention of pent-up and putrid matter in the wound almost insured the absorption of septic poison and i death. It may be regarded as an open question how far successful an attempt to. treat the wound as sceptic might have been. It would be unjust to blame surgeons. . It is a matter of congratulation.that they were not led away by a vain desire to extract the bullet, which had done no harm since it reached its residing place, near the pancreas, and its extraction, per up, would not have influenced at all the subsequent course of the case."

Ihe depth of the national sorrow for the victim had its reflex in the intensity of the hatred of his aasaewn,who lay grovelling in

a state of abject tefrw in gaol. After «vo attempt to sboot him was madttsby hia 'guards.-Mafron, Guiteau's terror SjMEfcamc piccablk;-^ He dreaded lynching jnoi'C than hißtKlmosteortaiu fate at tlm ha«td«pijuatioo., A; Now ■Jtotk telegram ot.

To-day was observed as a holiday at the different brandies of tho Bank ot New Zea land throughout the colony, b&ing the 21st auuivcrsary of its opening. Tho Bank of New Zealand is the most successful of tho many monetary and commercial institu tions inaugurated in the colony, and _Auck landers may well be protid of.tiio itintitutiou Ihatuwnn their city as its birthplace Its progress has been steady and continuous, and we question very much if any of its founders oven dreamt it would ever attain its present proud position.

A meeting of tho Waitukerei ratepayers wa3 hold on Saturday, in tho office, Darby street, for general business, aud the elec tion of two officers, in the places of the late Mr A.

A sect that in to cat up Mormon ism is announced in America. It has been started by Mr J. M. Allen. Tho system is a com pound of socialism, communism, nnd poly gamy. There will be no war, murder, or capital punishment; " Nature's divine law" will bo the guiding star of tho sect, and crime will positively bo prohibited. Tho dress will be a peculiar pattern, being a loose garment continuous from the neck to the ankle, made iv two halves, both sexes to wear it alike. Priests, creeds, sectarianism, and religious persecution are to bo un known. Marriages are to be of tho "bar mouious monogainic kind," based on mutual affection and adoption, and each person is to have a private apartment. The new sect daily gathers in numbers.

There were no fewer than elevcu persons charged with drunkenness looked up in the police cells during Saturday and Sunday, and two others were admitted to bail. A s<td sight might have been witnessed laat nipht, Amongst the, imprisoned inebriates was a woman named fiurtonshaw, the wife of an apparently respectable and hard* working man. Three of their children, wretchedly clad, came to the station, the elder a girl about 10 years of ago, bearing the youngest, a baby, whoso wan, elfish little face peeped from amidst tho scanty folds of a tattered shawl. The girl re quested that " baby " might bo given to "mother," as neither father nor children could uttcud to tho poor little atom, of mor tality during her absence, and this Mr Purely kindly permitted. • Intemperance in men is bad enough, but there is nothing bo debasing, so fatal in its results, as an inor dinate love of liquor in women.

• The usual weekly mcetirjg of tho French Clnb was held on "Saturday evening.. C. Garnier's lecture oa " Ekctio-Maj-netisni" was postponed until November 19th, owing, to the fact that his apparatus is broken. Mr J, Englor delivered a most interesting and humorous lecture entitled " Souvenirs de ma Jeunesee." Mr Engler who is a Ger. man Swiss, gave a very picturesque and pleasing description of his native country. He narrated his apprenticeship in France, aud the manner in which he became acquainted with the Gallic vernacular, by marrying a French girl. The lecturer advised his English listeners to follow the example he had set thorn, but in order to put it into practice, they ought first to im port a sufficient number of " Parisiennes." Several candidates were proposed for mem bership. Mr J, B. Lenoir sent in his resig nation as Librarian, pressure of work pre venting him from attending to his duties. Messrs S. G. Clarke and A.

A meeting of the committee of tuo Auck land Dramatic Society was held on Satur day evening last, for the purpose of considering a letter reflecting on the club in that day's issue <Jf the StAB.

Somo amusement was caused in tho Police Court tbfs morning by a prisoner uainud Wilson, dcscilbed as a bushutan. John pleaded not guilty to a. charge of drunkcnncsH, and wished in the firut place to dofiuo tho term. He bad only taken four or fiVe glasses of rum, which be contended would not mako A man " drunk " ; again, if ho was fin?d be should lose his billet, which would be a. serious matter to him. His Worship asked where prisoner waa last employed. Tho reply.was "Mount Eden, at .1 Hpoll of stone-breaking." (Laughter.) Tho prisoner, however, looked particularly serious. Ho wished to state, further, that his was a case.of bate ingratitude. He met tho two constables at one o'clock this morn ing and shouted for them at the Waitemata Hotel, and for this "rum-and-milk of human kindness " shout he was run in. The con stables stoutly denied, the charge. The prisoner was so drunk he could not walk. His Worship considered that Wilson was a visionary, and the shouting was a freak of tho imagination; he must pay ss. Prisoner avowed that he witt a spiritist to the extent of five glasses of rum and milk.

An adjourned meeting of shareholders in tbo newly-formed Helenaville Timber Com pany was.held this attcrnooa in Mr It. Browning's ofllce, Shortland-strcet. There was a good attendance, and Mr H. Brett was elected to preside. The articles of association which had been drawn up by Mr 11. Browning were read aud adopted. It was agreed, on the motion of Mr Walker, seconded by Mr Isaac McLeod, that clause 47 of tho Joint Stock Com panies Act should not be applied, Messrs Henry Brett, Hugh Wickens, Herman Brown, Arthur Bull, Thomas Mehillc, Isaac McLeod, R. a. McLood wero appointed directors on tho motion of Mr Hill, seconded by Mr Mclcalfo. The honorarium of directors was.fixed at not moro than £50 each per annum. The Company has bceu formed for the purpose of carrying on sawmilling business at Hclensvillo, Kaipara. It is proposed to erect a suitable mill, which with machiucry capable of cutting 60,000 feet of timber weekly, will cost about £3.000, while an additional £2000 will bo absorbed by the purchase of logs and other oxpcnscfi. Tho company has been formed with 4000 £5 shares, but only 1000 of these will ba offered at present, leaving 3000 to be issued as required by extension of company's business. It is astonishing how careless somo people are regarding tho money they tender in payment at night, and the change they receive. Two cases in point, which have come under oar notice, will also serve to illustrate too honesty of the Btak runners, now almost proverbial in Auckland... Some time ago, Cautfcll, Great North Road runner, reuoived what was believed to bo a' sixpence in payment from one of his customers; but the coin appeared to bo un usually heavy, and, on examination at the nearest light, it proved to be nhalf-sovereieu. The money was duly returned at once to the rightful ownci, -who had uot discovered the mistake.. The second case, which was of a somewhat different nature, happened last Saturday evening. Nothing peculiar was noticed by Cuntcll iv the weight of the coin, and he deposited it amongst the six pences' in his waistcoat pocket. ' Unaware' of the fact that he baa received a half sovereign, he gavo change from that pocket to a number of customers, and consequently when the person who had tendered the gold in mistake for silver applied to him yesterday morning, he searched amongst 'his sixpences in vain/: :No. trace of a half sovereign could ho discover. During the .day, however; a1 friend, to -whom ho had given: change on tho previous evening, brought back the missing coin, and Can toll was enabled to return it to the propor owner to-day. ! Honesty such as that referred to, is not very plentiful, and it \vould therefore be well for people gener ally to exercise more care in paying money, and receiving change., The runner is very likely to give the com away again iv change, and tho chances of its being lost arc ten. to one, at the very least. . A telegram by the lnstSuoz mail stated that the I'opo contemplated removing his hcad-quartors from Kome to Vienna, in con sequence of the recent disturbance that oc curred over the r.omoval of the body of tho late I'opo Pius IX. This wouldjbe an ovent iv the history of tho Papacy not even second in importance to tbo loss of the temporal power, and might, lead to, the most important consequences. Speak ing of the possible doparture of the Pope' from Kome, a' recent .issue of. the "Libcrta" says :—" Wo distinctly state that if the Pope forms the resolution to leave Koino it is certainly not the Italian Government which by humble words and nets should seok to detain him. But this Government ia under the obligalion-of following a line of conduct which in whatsoever event shall deprive tbo Pope, of any pretext -which can justify his departure. We have succeeded, thanks to the wisdom and- tact of the men who formerly held the reins of government, in always placing- the < Papacy in the wrong. The present Ministers would appear by their ambiguous con duct to be doing their best in order that tho Papacy may. finally have the vaunt of being in the right. If the Pope should leave Kome without a sufficient reason for so im portant a step, the public conscience in Italy and abroad, illuminated by the truth, will throw all the responsibility of so great an event upon him who has accomplished it. But if the contrary should happen ; if the de parture of tho Pope shall be in any way justified by the dubious, uncer tain and changeable conduct of the Ministry, they and their party will receive such a blow as they will find it exceedingly difficult to recover from."

He expressed the opinion that the system of free trade,which tho late Mr Cob. don and Mr Bright had advocated, neglected. the interests of homo, while it stimulated the foreign market.

With regard to tho land laws, Mr Gladstone acknowledged that reform was required. The farmers, he thought,' should be in a position to secure an interest in their hold* ings, ami obtain compensation for improve ments, but he would never consent to the application of the Irish Land Act to Eng land. Adverting to. the question ot free trade and Protection, Mr Gladstone declared, his conviction that the English Government would never pledge itself to. restore protec tive duties.

NEW CABINET MINISTER.

(BY TELEaBAPII.—OWN COBKKSPONDENT.)

WELLINGTON, this day. A GOOD deal of speculation is going on in political circles as to the reason for the ap pointment'to Mr Oliver to a seat in the Cabinet without portfolio. It is jone of those mysterious things for which Ministers are becoming notorious, and they look on and smile while the country tries to puzzle the matter out, and wonders what it is all about. A "select few " beliefs that Mr Wakefield is again at the Lottom of it, and perhaps they are not far wrong. The difficulty in filling that awkward gap in the Cabinet has doubtless to a great extent arisen from a dread of appointing a Minister outside of Otago.and thus creating jealousy there. It was not easy to get a Dunedin man, and Mr Wake» field had claims. Had Mr "Eryce been secured, the dilemma wonld,i in all proba bility, for reasons I previously mentioned, have been got rid of, bat Mr JBryce' failed. It is quite possible that the re-appointment of Mr Oliver may be an attempt to keep Otago's feathers unruffled, and allow Mr Wskcfield in due course to step into the vacant portfolio. The subject is certainly becoming monotonous. The "Post ' of Saturday urge* the claims of Wellington to a Ministerial representative, and suggests that Mr Levin should be appointed.

K?q.. on hshalf of 'one Alpheus Raton, for insertion on the list of voters for Uty West, without the consent or written authority of Alpheus Katon, on tha ttweUth instant.— MrTheo. Coopor appeared for the defenoe. — Mr Cotter paid these proceedings were taken by him, in his official capacity, as returning officer. Mr Cottor then described the nature of the alleged offorjes, which was the bringing of a claim to "vote in the name of Alpheus iCaton, of Sato-Btreet, Auokland, but.no person of that name could be found in that street; a person however, bearing that name had been found, but he stated that ha had never given authority to Mr Garrard to have hia name placed uppn the liat of vo' era for City Weat; and that he lived in anothor district altogether. The claim purports to have been signed by Baton, in the presence of Wni. G. Garrard. From information received, he had doubts na to the right of Alphens Katon to vote for the distriot named on. the electoral roll for Auckland North. On the 13th mat, he saw Mr Garrard about tho claim, and toldhim he had been informed that Eaton, the express-man, did not live within tho distriot named, but in another district. Ho asked Garrard if he Knew Katon; he said he did, and that he had been liv ing in Sale-street for the last four-months. He attempted to deß"oribe Eaton's house. He (Mr Oottor) desired dofendant to send Eaton to him: Garrard said he would do so,and,apparently left for that purpose. Garrard acknowledged that, he brought the claim into (ha office. He laid this information iv pursuance of tho power granted to him, under Section 33, of tho Corrupt Praoticos Prevention Act, 1881. The name of Alpheus Katon is on the electoral roll for the district of Mount Kdon.—Cross-examined by Mr i'laoo. Cooper: Had told Garrard in bringing in claims, that the signatures of the parties claim ing were necessary. Had not told him that a written authority wai necessary, the signature of the claimant waß sufficient.—Alpheus Katon deposed that ho was the drivor of. an express and residing in Edinburgh-street; ha knew Mr Garrard by sight: had been living in Edin burgh-street for three years; there was no other Alpheus Katon to his knowledge in Auckland; tho signature was not his: he did not sign the document; nor did he . give to Mr Garrard or to an; other person any written authority to have fii» name placed upon any electoral roll.-rTo Mr Cooper: He was in the Metropolitan Dining-rooms on Wednesday last. Dined there. Saw aMr Birch there; also, Mr Garrard, who had some forms with him. Did not aak him fjr one. Did not take one for Birch, nor tell him that he lived in Sate- Btreot. —Mr Goldie, sanitary inspector, and Constable Burnard proved that so such per eoa as Alphaus Baton lived in Sale-street. —This being the oaso for the prosecnton, Mr Coopor made some observations, and submitted that the evidnnce adduced for the prosecution shewed no offence, and there was really nothing to go to a jury; the evidence only shewed that Mr Garrard took the claim to Mr Cotter's office, but the Charge was not supported. A very tedious argument followed, mostly of a technical oharacter, en the words sent and brought. His Worship made some remarks, and said that if he disposed of the case to-day, he must commit, but he should like to look Into tho seotion and authorities quoted by Mr Coopor. The case was accordingly adjourned for decision until Wed nesday next at 9,30 p.m. This was all the business.
