have been earlier ie Simon's Bay than we were. The carpenter's boat,, which was a better sailer than ours, and had made a direct run for the bay, arrived there first. In fact, she ran ont of our sight altogether. There were crowds of people on the wharf ns we came np to it, and the greatest kind ness was shown to us all. We had to be Kited "out of the boats, for we were so cramped with sitting and with cold that we conld not move." . . The carpenter says tbat the ship did npt strike heavily, but iappeared to have struck somewhere on the port side abaft her bow. For some time there was not a drop of water in the engine-ro!om or after compartments. He took command of a boat, and, with the boatswain V,<>. boat, remained as near as they could judge on the scene until daybreak, but did not see any trace of ddbris or hear any cries. He was on the < forecastle head shortly before the flap j strnck, and he did not think she was un- j usually close to land. He was not convinced whether it was rock or wreckage the ship struck on.

Mr Allan, a passenger, speaks in light terms of the discipline on board, but it is of opinion that too much time was lost in getting the people into the boats. Every one describes the end as being most sudden—the ship made one plunge and all was over. There is hardly a survivor who has not lost a wife, or wife and children. A quartermaster who is amongst the saved, was on the bridge with the captain at the time of the ship sinking. Accounts from Simon's Town, where the survivors landed, state that " the Teuton strnck this side of Agulhas at about 8 o'clock, got off the reef, and steamed back for Simon's Bay for over two hours. She gradually went down by the head. The captain had confidence in steaming into safety. One boat full of ladies got en tangled with the ship's ladder and capsized, and all were lost except a sailor. The first boat arrived here at 20 minutes past 1 o!clock, in charge of the carpenter, with 14 people; the second boat, in charge of the boatswain, with 13 people. They speak very hopelessly of more beini? saved, although the night was very fine, and the ship had seven fine boats, Ihe s.s. Dido ■went down at once to try to save some thing." The Teuton left England with 236 pas sengers. She landed 83 at Cape Town. Four were embarked at Cape Town. Com puting the officers and crew at 85, there were 242 souls on board when she struck. Twenty-seven nre known to be saved.

MR. BARSTOW'S RETIRE MENT.

In anticipation of a formal recognition being made of Mr Barstow's retirement from the Magistracy, there was a very full attendance of the Bar at the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning, while Mr Barstow occupied a seat beside Mr Macdonald on the Bench. After the despatch of the un defended cases, Mr J. B. Kussell, as the senior member of the profession, arose and said;—

Mr Barstow,—The gentlemen of the Bar practising in the Court over which you have presided for so many years have learned that you will occupy your accustomed seat this day for the last time as a magistrate, and they can not allow you to retire from your present posi tion without some expression of their regard for you, arid I beg to say that they feel in your parting from them that they lose a magistrate upon whom they could always rely for a patient hearing, true courtesy, impartial adminigtratioa, and Tor more than an ordinary appreciation of their efforts to obtain an interpretation of the law, and it is no mere form to say that they regret yonr retirement. This feeling, however, is minded with the pleasure of knowing that that retirement does not withdraw you from the oomrauDity, and that they will be privileged still to enjoy that friendship with you which they feel has grown up since you came amongst them. You are now retiring, sir, on your well earned laurels, with the earnest wish of the pro fession that you may be long spared to enjoy that ease, the consideration of which was erer in the background while duty was before you, and their earnest hope is that you Will long be BDared amongst us as one of our most honoured dtteens.

" Mr Barstow replied: Mr Kusefall .and gentlemen of the Bar,—l take leave to thank you sincerely for the Very kind expres sion -which has just been given, in respect of the simple efforts which I have made towards doing what every man ought to do^ viz., his duty. I have done my best accord ing to my ability, and if I am to be thanked for my courtesy, I can safely say that that courtesy was only the reflection of the courtesy which has been shewn by all the members of your learned profession towards myself. I can, therefore, declare that I have thus been enabled to discharge my duties without unpleasantness of any eort At times one's temper is apt to be raffled, and words are allowed to escape which one's judgment would be disposed to consider as better not said, yet I hope that such occasions have been very few. I know that when, such matters occurred, they have always been succeeded by a feeling of sincere regret on my part, and 1 am .sure by one of forgiveness on yours. It is gratifying to know that al though I shall not meet you officially again, yet thai I shall very often meet you as a fellow-citizen. I beg to thank you very kindly, gentlemen, for the expression which you have been good enough to make. Mr Russell theu. apologised for the un avoidable absence of Mr Edwin Hesketh.

Mr Barstow : One word more. I desire to thank the officers of the Court for the able assistance ■which they have-afforded me in the discharge of my functions. I hope that hereafter they will perform' their duties in a manner equally satisfactory to my successors.

Mr Barstow then retired from the Bench,

CONCERT IN AID OF ST. MARY'S CONVERT.

The Choral Hall was well filled laat evening on the occasion ot a grand concert in aid ot the 'and to defray the cost of the recent improve ments to ' St. Mary's Convent, under'the patronage ol the popular Vicar-General Father Fynes. Large numbers "of the Hibernian Society •were present in their regalia, and there was a fair sprinkling of Eoman Catholic .Clergy. The Hobson Band, canduoted by' Band master feheahnn, inaugurated the proceedings with a selection, " Rosa d'Amour," played in excellent time and tuna. Mis 3 Sharia fhan, who was in good voice, sang the beauti al ballad " I Breathe once more my. Native Air," and received a most unmistakable; encore. She, however, simply bowed her acknowledg ments. MrCouplandsangltoeckers "I cannot say Good-bye," in which his flna voice was heard to great advantage. He Was followed by Miss Thomson, who tang " Kate O'dhane," which so pleased the audience that an encore "was demanded. This the lady acceded to, excelling her previous effort in the rendition ot "Miily's Faith." Miss Kirby.whoposseSßesa low sweet voice,acqultted herself well in "Sweet Home." She was suc ceeded by Mr Garland, whose well-cultivated voice was heard to great advantage in tbe ever popular "Village Blacksmith." Miss- Swan •sang " Jeßsie's Dream" sweetly and with spirit, and in response^ to an encore, gave "I'm the Merriest Pirl ■ That's Out." This caused considerable amusement, and the vo ciferous applause with which it was received shows thatmirth-causinjr compositions are more popular withtheganeralitybf concert-goera than songs of a higher class- from a musical point of View. -Misa Staunton, whose rich powerful yodng voice created such a pleasurable surprise at a former concert,sang."Merry Bird," and being rapturously encored repeated the laat verae. The young lady displays a slight ner voaeneas common to debutantes, but it did net detract from the finish, of her Binging. We expect to see Her in the ranks of our leading vocalists before long. The first part concluded With a duet by the Mlsbcs Lonergan, " The Cousins." which was exceed ing- y well received. The first item of the second part was a piano fantasia of Irish unelodios by Miss Buckley, which was succeeded by a duer, "The Wind and the Harp." by Misses Shanaghan and Sheehan. Mr Rhodes deserves areat credit for his excellent rendition of " The Baft," and the same may be said respecting Mr Jennings, who sang Allen's popular song "Msflß of Athens." Mies Staunton agatn delighted her hearers in the ballad "You 11 Meet Me, Won't You," being compelled to repeat the last verse. Miss Thomson excelled her former effort in the song, "Oh Take me to your heart again." Miss Swans rich voioe did Wice to the ballad "The Me that's crowned with Shamrock." Tho lady possesses an exce. lent articulation-a somewhat uncommon virtue In vocalists. A duet by Messrs Khodea and Coupland, the "Emerald Waltz" by the Hobson Band, and the National Anthem brought the proceedings to a close. We cannot conclude this notice without offering our congratulation to Misa Shanaghan for the entire success of the arrangement. Everything passed off without a bitch, and the concert was a rare musical treat.

SUPREME COURT.-Criminal Sittings.

Yesterday concluded,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

The evidence of John Gordon, husband of the assaulted.woman, was mostly corrobora tive. On the Saturday when he returned he found his wife apparently ill with a bad cold; she said she had something particular to tell him) he was wet and cold and went to bed; the next morning (Sunday), she told him that Hayes had assaulted her, aud got the best of her; he saw the prisoner, charged him with the offence, he denied it; he told him he should give the case in the hands of the police; prisoner begged of him not to do so; he informed Constable Wild } went and laid information, and a warrant was taken out for prisoner's arrest $ had no ' suspicion of any infidelity on the part of his wife, or he should not hare taken lodgers ; he knew Greaves ; he lodged in his house at Cambridge three years agoj a bed was made for him in the kitchen ; he assisted in shifting their goods; Greaves did not enter their bedroom; his wife did not complain of any improprieties on the part of prisoner, but had expressed a wish that he would not come. Understood that prisoner had lent his wife 15s towards a sewing machine nearly three months before the assault. Had not paid the money back.— To Mr Hesketh : Did not ask theprisoner why he did not visit him. He was in the habit of coming down with the news,, and for a chat. Thought something had vexed him. Accused bore a favorable reputation, at least with some people. He considered him a decent sort of man. He worked for Mr Graham. He did not ask his wife why she objected to the presence of Hayes. She was hot tempered. He had no idea that the accused would be guilty of such an offence.' Did not say much to Hayes or he might have got m a passion and done something and come to be hanged. He wished his wife to have a doctor, but she refused. She did not wish to expose herself. He in sisted, and she was examined by Dr Beale. He did not invite Greaves into his bed because it was cold. It was Christmas time. Had lived with his wife since she bad pulled him for support. He told prisoner's wife. Had once been assaulted by a man named Nolan, who knocked him down. He was too drunk to know anything about it. Nolan had three months for assaulting his wife in an hotel. A plan of Gordon's house was put in, which Mrs Gordon recognised as correct and ex plained. — Frederick Wild, Constable, stationed at Hamilton, deposed to re ceiving information of the alleged assault from John Gordon; he arrested the accused -on warrant on the Sun day evening following; he Bimply said he was innocent of the charge. He ex amined the room, and noticed some scratches on the wall about four feet up, also some marks on the floor as though made by the heel of a boot. —To Mr Hesketh; He sketched the plan of the house. He had been a constable in the Waikato District for fourteen years. Mrs Gordon was not considered a good moral woman. She had been locked up on one occasion for being drunk and disorderly, That did not affect her chastity. Never heatd anything against the prisoner,—Dr. Beale, of Hamil ton, deposed to knowing Mrs Gordon. He examined her on the 14th September at her own house. He found bruises and scratches on her legs and about her knees, apparently done by fingers. On the 15th he called upon her, and rcexamined her. The scratches were less evident.—This was the case for the prosecution.—Mr Hesketh having no witnesses to call in favour of the prisoner, addressed the julry in defence, and argued that the woman must have been a consenting party, that she bore an indiffer •ent reputation, and that nothing could be said against the prisoner.—His, Honor,how ever, in summing up, raid that the statement which the constable could not prove, that the woman add an unchaste reputation,was not & matter for the consideration of the jury. Many persons had a fair reputation without deserving;. Bad she been a con senting party, she would not have told her husband, but allowed him to remain in happy ignorance of the offence. It was bad tasie to try to blacken the character of the woman, as prisoner had attempted to do. The imputation had failed ; still, if the jury had any doubt as to prisoner's guilt, they should give him -the benefit of it.— The jury, having considered the evi dence, returned into. Court with a verdict of guilty, accompanied with a recom mendation to mercy. During the time the jury were considering their verdict, the pri soner appeared extremely restless, twitching his fingers, and, with a quivering of the lips, was evidently in a fearful state of anxiety. On hearing guilty pronounced he immediately fell down and kicked, in a state of apparent unconsciousness. Dr. Beale was at once in attendance upon him, and water was thrown over him. On par tially recovering, he rolled his eyes and moaned, " Oh, my poor wife and children." Presently, he was carried to the cell by four policemen. His Honor reserved judgment. ~ : Uhnatueal Offence.-James Gaffney was arraigned upon an indictment, charging him with this offence on a boy named Bernard McLoughlin at Kaikohe, between Hokianga and Kawakawa, on the 14th of May last. The evidence in this case is un fit for publication, a,nd the jury, after two hours' deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of the attempt to commit sodomy. Sentence deferred. ... •■>- ... .

THIS DAY.

(His Honor took his seat at 10 o'clock.)

The Prisoner, Lawrence Hayes.— The prisoner was brought up for sentence, but was too ill to say Why the judgment of the Court' should not be passed upon him. Mr Hesketb, therefore, on behalf of the prisoner, urged in extenuation the weakly state of prisoner's health, his previous good character, his being an industrious settler, and his pies ot innocence ; also, bis having a wife on the eve of confinement, and four young.children. Mr Hesketh also* put in several testimonials of good character from tradesmen of Hamilton. His Honor said that prisoner had been found guilty of' the offence of which he had been charged, with a recommendation to mercy. His Honor had taken all , these circum stances into consideration, bnt felt that he should not be doing his duty tothe public if he passed a merely nominal sentence; the sentence upon him would be five years' penal servitude. Ihe prisoner immediately swooned, and fell into the arms of the constables, exclaiming, "Oh, good.God," and was borne.out of Court. :;

Uhnatukal Offence.—James Gaffney i was brought'tip to receive sentence for tiav-} ing committed an unnatural offence on aj youth named McLougblin. Prisoner simply I denied haying committed the offence. His Honor said that prisoner had been con victed of various offences no less than ten times, and sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude: v , ■ ;;- \ KAPa.— Udolph.

Coleman appeared for the prisoner.—Mr Hudson Williamson, Grown solicitor, opened the case, and Mr Brown interpreted for the Court.— Akini Honghanga deposed that she was 'a married woman, and lived with her husband at Mongatate. She remembered leaving her house on the 20th day of August toTprocnre food.: * She was on horseback. Left im mediately on finishing the morning meal. Went straight to the next settlement, Awanui. The distance was long between the two places. Had to cross a river. Saw the prisoner at the place where the trouble happened. He came upon her before she crossed the river and said, " Let us sleep ; let us have intercourse together." She ob jected.. Her mouth was then stopped. He then placed-his, arms around her, and had carnal connection with her. She resisted him. She was on horseback when he came out of the bush. It occurred at the landing place. She had stopped and*was about to dismount at the crossing place. A canoe was lying there for the convenience of people! Shemadeanoiseand'criedout. Did j not like to tell all the details. , After the connection, she went away, and the pakeha went away.—His Honor told complainant that she must tell the Court everything that happened.—Witness-: The pakeha said we must sleep and have connection. She said she objected.. He then seized her by the hand. She screamed out. He stopped her mouth. He put his arm around her neck and forced her along to one. side of the road. He pushed her down on to the ground. The offence was then committed. She cried very much. He went into the scrub towards the settle ment. She got upon her horse and rode across the river. She made a complaint to the first person she met.—Mr Coleman ob jected to witness giving the terms of me complaint made to another person.—Mr Williamson quoted several authorities, but His Honor ruled that she made a complaint that was admissible without giving the ex press terms. She went on her way to get the food, and having got it, she returned to the settlement. The sun had set when she reached home.—To Mr. Coleman: Had breakfast in tke-morning. Had no clock. Could not tell the time, It was near

dinner-time when she was assaulted. Near mid-day. She s.did not; consent. Cried: out :■■ very much. Four .times. Akaria lives in the same whare at Monga late. The offence was committed on the 20th, on a Saturday. The chief's daughter dhd on the following Sunday. She wont through Denny's property. The road was bad between Mongatate and Awanui. Her horse was strong but not lively. Conld not tell the time when she passed Sobritzky's store. (A plan of the locality was put in). Saw the Medbra on the river. Prisoner was not on the vessel. Saw him and another man walking on the shore. When she crossed over the ferry she did not observe Mrs- Stantom On returning she Called at Sobritzky's store. This Was after the alleged assault, had been committed. • Saw Lou and his mother, Aho, his brother John and Kaust. She purchased some stockings aud tobacco ofi prisoner's mother, i Did not shake hands with the prisoner. She made no complaint at the store. Prisoner's father had not sued her husband for debt. Prisoner had accused Akarin with stealing tobacco. Did not know whether prisoner had found a case of tobac -co in the house. All the natives went to the funeral of the Chief's daughter. Did not eet prisoner there.' Shook hands with him. His Honor asked how she could shake hands with him when he was not there. She meant afterwards. There was a Maori feast over the death on the Monday. She was not there. Did not complain to prisoner's friends. Conld not describe the clothes prisoner had on. It Was a little way from the burial ground. His companion, William Conrad, was walking in front of prisoner. She rode past them. When Bhe got to the river, Conrad was standing on the other side among the flax. Did not call to him for help. Prisoner took hold of her right ar m and piilled her off the saddle. She fell on her head. Her horse was not startled. Her dress was not soiled. The part was swampy, but there was no water there at the time. The information was laid seme time after the offence was com mitted. Never asked for compensation. She was not persuaded to lay the informa tion ; her husband did it all.—Mr Coleman said he wonld call evidence to prove that the prosecutrix had stated tbat the charge was untrue.—His Honor said her words in Maori were untrue.—Witness did remem ber a meeting in Joe's house. There was some talk there. She believed it was the day before tho hearing at the Court. Witness mentioned) the names of natives present. It was convened by Joe' 3. brother for the purpose of ascertaining whether the charge was true or false.—His Honor suggested that there was danger in putting questions from a translation which were to be re-translated. —Witness was thon asked if she did not say it was untrue that she was plilled from the horse.—She did not say so. It was false that she said Bhe consented.—To Mr Williamson : She only showed the place where the offence was committed to the policeman. Hadnotcourageto tellMrsStan^ ton.

MR. BRYCE OFFERED A PORTFOLIO.

He Declines the Proposition, (BY TELEaKAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT,) WELLINGTON, this day. Tns "PateaMail"of yesterday, accordine to a telegram received last night, announces that Mr Bryce had been invited to join the Ministry, upon the understanding that that disputed point of native policy upon which he resigned should now receive effecti Mr Bryce (said the same authority) de clined) and his reason was understood to be that he was not offered the portfolio of Native Minister; but another, and yet was expected, at the same time, to incur the res ponsibility of native affairs under bircumstan ces very different from those which pre vailed ■ wllen he proposed .to rush Paribaka. Major Atkinson td-day declines to state whether there is or is not any truth In the above, but I have good ground? for believing Mr Bryce has received an offer, ond that the information conveyed to the "Patea Mail" is substantially correct.
