For the cause that lacks a_ti__ce, For the wrong that needs resistauc For tho future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

Te Whiti's speech at Parihaka was pacific. Some of his followers manifested a desire to fight, but, consistently with his former teaching, he counselled thorn against being provoked from the policy of peaceful oppo sition. Thorc will bo goneral jubilation among the colonial jingoes and mock patriots at the prospect of non-resistance in the raid on Parihaka. But it doca not seem to impress these gentlemen that we shall owe peace entirely to tbe forbearance of the man against whom onr soldiery have been called together from the four quarters of the colony. The Government, figuratively speaking, has been flourishing its head about as if anxious that Te Whiti should hit it; but though he has hundreds offnien at call willing to strike; though he has been told that the only piece of land remaining to himself and people has been practically forfeited, and has therefore nothing to lose; and though his personal liberty is endangered, he is seen imploring his people to be patient, and refrain from violence. If Te Whiti's influence is powerful enough to hold the natives In check, onr army, like that of the nursery rhyme, will march np the hill to march down again. There are, however, still the chances of some unexpected act, perhaps by a stray native or volunteer, setting tbe whole country aflame.

At a. meeting of the Parks Committee held to-day, plans for the further improve ment of the. Albert Park were brought up and considered.

Owing to the rather sudden death of Mr W. W. Cardno, from inflammation of the lungs, the New Zealand Timber Company advertise for applications for the post of secretary.

The following crews are in training for the junior amateur four-eared gig race at the approaching North Shore Regatta:— Auckland: Aicken (stroke), O'Brien, 3; Gould, 2; Phillipson, 1. Ponsonby; Cooper (stroke); Moore, 3; Lloyd, 2; T. Farqubar, 1. North Shore: Webster (stroke); G. Reid, 3; Wynyard, 2; Quick, 1. The contest is expected to be a very close one.

The newly formed Choral Society at Pon sonby met lost night for its first practice. About 50 members were in the choruses, and a very fair attack was made upon the choruses of the Messiah. Herr Schmitt, the conductor, expressed himself as highly E leased with the interest manifested by so irge an attendance. He also stated that after next practice no new working mem bers would be admitted, until after the performance of the Messiah concert.

The nomination of candidates for tbe several ridings, of the Waikato County Council took place on Thursday, at the County Council Chambers, Hamilton, The following candidates were nominated : —For Cambridge Riding, R.

It is the intention of His Worship the Mayor to move at the ordinary meeting of the City Council on Thursday next—" That the Government be requested to amend the Public Health Act by giving power to Local Boards to prohibit the use of cesspits or privies and to make byelaws rendering it compukory|where water-closets are not used to use earth or other deodorising material, and power to prohibit the use of water closets unless connected with main sewer." His Worship will also move at the same meeting—" That the Finance and General Purposes Committee take into consideration the question of a revision of tbe Water works consumers' rate, and report at an early date,"

Mr Superintendent Thomson has so far j recovered that ho has left tho Hospital for his private residence. He may bo expected at his post again about a month hence.

No improvement has yet taken place in the condition of Frank Young, a settler of Hellyo.'s Creek, who was brought down last week and taken to the Hospital, suffer ing from paralysis of the lower limbs. It is a singular fact that no reason can be assigned for the disease with which he has been seiied,

The senior amateur gig raco at the North Shore Regatta oh Prince of Wales's Birthday will probably be a very interesting one. Auckland and North Shore clubs have crews in heavy training, while Ponsonby intends to send a boat, although no crew has yet been selected. The Auckland men consist of T, Henderson (stroke); C. Dacre, 3; Cousins, 2; Croxton, 1. North Shore : C. Burgess (stroke); McGechie, 3; E, Burgess, 2 i Mearns, 1.

'1 here will be three entries for the all comers' iurigger race at the North Shore Ke fjatta. Crews representing Ponsonby, North Shore and Auckland ate now in training, and an exciting tussle is anticipated. The following are the nam as of the men in each boat:—Ponsonby : Messrs Finlay (stroke), Scott, 3 5 Davie, 2 ; Edmonds, 1. North Shore : Messrs Sims (stroke) O'Connor, 3} Greenwood, 2; G. Niccol, 1. Auckland : Smith (stroke), F, Leatham, Mackinnon, and another. Con siderable interest is boing taken in this contest.

Kite-flying would appear to be a very harmless amusement, but that it may some times be the cause of danger to life and limb is proved by an accident which hap pened several days ago. Mr Daniel Farrow, a resident of Ponsonby, aged 75 years, was proceeding up Victoria-street in the direction of Hobson-atreot, when he tripped oyer the string of a kite which hod fallen across the footpath. The conse quence of the fall was rather serious, the man's thigh being broken. He was con veyed to the Hospital, where he now lies, The advanced age of the pationt will con siderably retard his recovery.

Herr Carl Schmitt is taking in rehearsal Sullivan's oxcellent comic opera, " The Con trabandista," to bo performed in character in a few months at the Choral Hall,with all scenic effects, large orchestra, and chorus. This opera contains some of Sullivan's happiest ideas, and was first performed at St. George's Opera House on the 18th December, 1867. Herr Scbmitt has had such a long experience as conductor of operas, both id Germany and the colonies, that we have no doubt his present labours will result in a complete success. The cast, we hear, will be as follows:—Rita, Miss Fenton; Inez, Mies Mackay; Vas Que., Mr Forth; Mr Giigg, Mr Harker; Jose, Mr Edmiston; Sancho, Mr Harker; Cap tain of Soldiers, Mr Copeland,

One of our Auckland artistes, Miss Jessie Raymond, is winning favourable opinions by her performances from the Melbourne press. This lady's friends will bo glad to hear ot her suocoisful progress in her profession.. She is still connected with Herr Band mann's Dramatic Company, and has been playing In the Melbourne Opera House in " Hamlet," and dramas such as " Dead and Alive" and " East Lynne." The " Argus " says : " Miss Jessie Raymond gave a very good rendering of the dnal characters of Kldmc. de Mourienne and Melainc, which was much applauded by the audience. Miss Raymond also appeared as Miss This tledown and Maggie Macfarlano in the 'Bonnio Fishwife' in place of Miss Eloise Juno." The " Australian Dramatic News'' says: " Miss Jessie Raymond appeared as the Newhaven Fishwife, and gave a lifelike and admirable rendering of the character. Her dialect was singularly accurate, and her acting full of archness and vivacity."

Tbe November number of the "Church Gazette" gives the current church news, in which will be found many items of interest; also intelligence trom Norfolk Island by the schooner Opotiki; a quiet morning at Bishopscourt, on the 6th ult., when a short service was held and papers read, by Arch deacon Maunseli on " The Systematic Study of the Bible"; by Archdeacon Govett, on "The Clergyman in Social Life " ; and " Tho Work of Women in the Church of Christ," by Rev. V. Lush. The Bishop also delivered a brief address, and subsequently the company wished Mrs (jowie many happy returns of the day, it being the anniversary of that lady's birth day. Parochial and statistical facts und figures are duly chronicled, with wayside incidents from the diary of Key. J. B. Hawkes. Two brief biographies of the late Rev. C. C. Baker, and Mr William Atkin appear; and the annual report of tbe Primate on the progress of the Board of Theological Studies. Notices of celebrated churchmen, Bishop Selwyn and Dean Stanley, and Sunday-school lessons for teachers, assist in making the present num ber of this Church of England serial both ac ceptable and readable to its supporters and their families.

The eleventh number of the " Bible Standard," under the editorship of Mr Geo. A. Brown, is now ready, and contains a series of articles on a number of topics of interest. The article on the " Mystery of the Church's Calling " is carefully written and worthy of thoughtful perusal. Other articles treat ot the progress of " Infidelity," " Bevolations," and "The Nature and Responsibility of our Work." Mr Berry Cass, formerly of Auckland, continues his thoughts on tho Apocalypse. In the , sensible essay on " Honest Scepticism," the writer says," "The great difficulty with many at the present day is, they do not believe, and no evidence would be likely to convince them, from the simple fact that they have no desire to know the truth, and no honest purpose to be led. thereby." The present issue includes several extracts from Beechcr aud other writers and preachers, also a poem of some merit from Dr. Bonar. Mr Brown's views may be singular in doctrinal points, bat un doubtedly be possesses the equally singular power of filling the Choral Ball every Sunday evening, and the people seem to feel that he has a message for them. Mr Brown informs his readers that "members are still increasing," and at the last church meeting "|it was decided to have a caravan built, fitted up with sleeping accommodation for two brethren, who will go through the district preaching and lecturing, and who also will scatter our literature on their way to the different places."

The ordinary meeting of St. James's Mutual Improvement Association was very largely attended last night both by mem bers and visitors, a considerable degree of curiosity being manifested in the Historical Bee that had been arranged to take place under the auspices of the Association, and which, in accordance with nsage, had been thrown open to public competition. Separate contests had been resolved on for ladies and gentlemen, and a prize procured for the winner in each. After tbe despatch of some formal business the gentlemen's competition was opened, Mr W. Cooper propounding questions upon the Tudor period of English history, and Messrs Theo. Cooper (Chairman) and W. Gorrie acting aa judges. After the list of prepared questions had been exhausted,the result was announced to be in favour of Mr J. M. Ueddis, aud he was consequently awarded the prize, a handsomely bound copy of " The Magazine of Art." Notwithstanding the pre ponderance of ladies in the audience, the greatest difficulty was experienced in in ducing the bashful fair to enter the lists of the contest teserved for them, Every ; possible expedient was resorted to by tho chagrined bachelors for the purpose of inducing or cajoling the shy and diffident representatives of the gentler sex to come forward, but although very many of them were school-teachers and Training School students, and had attended . with the ostensible motive of competing, they all hnng back till one of their number should venture to lead the way to the front. The prevalent feeling amongst them was one of "I should like to," but with the single exception of a very youthful maiden—MissC. E. Burton—noone ventured to avow herself a candidate. After half-an-hour had been spent in unavailing persuasions, Miss Burton was adjudged fairly entitled to the prize, vi_,, "The Voyage of the Sunbeam," and with its presentation the proceedings were brought to a close. The annual business meeting of the Association takes place on Monday evening next. '

The first meeting of tho croditors of Stewart and Pooley, builders, was held to«day, when Mr Thomas Macffarlano was elected trustee, The assets arc stated at £160, and the liabilities at £448.

The shooting of earth to tho inner side of tho Bowen-stroet plantation at a spot con tiguous to the Northern Club, nnd the con sequent formation of an embankmentthere, marks the commencement of the new thoroughfare which Is destined to connect Princes-street with Coburg-street. Of course some time will elapse before this work Is systematically undertaken, but tho present proceeding shows, at any rate, that there is tx6 intention of nbondoning or re considering the project. -In time—and that ere long—it will be an accomplished fuct.

His Honor Mr Justice Gillies held abrief sitting in Chambers yesterday for the pur pose of despatching some formal business which, in consoqueuce of his intended departure for tho South, could not bo taken to-day. Thus letters of administration were ordered to issue in re Geo. Henry Morton and George Mnrlay Delvitte (deceased) and an order was made to regis ter copy of the will of Michael Rutledge (deceased), while leave was allowed in Whitakerv. Kioh nnd another (demurrer) to appeal against His Honor's decision in allowing the demurrer,

We regret to learn that Mr Samuel Young, the proprietor of the Greyhound Stables, met with a serious accident yester day afternoon. Mr Young was riding a colt, and at the junction of Queen and Wellesiey-strcets tho animal shied at a spring-cart standing in the roadway. The driver of the vehicle (Michelson) pulled aside, but the colt was beyond control; and coming in contact with the spring-cart, Mr Young was thrown violently. Some of the bystanders conveyed him in an insensible state to Mr Williams's dispensary,where he soon recovered consciousness, and was able to proceed home. Ho is severely bruised, but otherwise the injuries are not serious. If wo aro to judge by the large number of persons that visited the. North Shore on i Sunday last, the reduction on tho fares to aud from tbat suburb appears .to be appre ciated by that part of the public; who love to shake the dust of the city from their feet, and enjoy "a sniff of the briny" ova Sunday afternoon. The boats going to and fro were crowded, bo much so that we are informed the Company intend running ex tra boats on every line Sunday, to avoid the possibility of overcrowding. We are glad to know the directors are alive to their own interests, as by studying the comfort and convenience of their passengers, they themselves will be the gainers.

To the Editor: Sir,—Kindly allow mo a word in reply to tho paragraph into which my foaine was dragged in your last night's issue. Although not in favour of tbo name given the new church, yot it having been decided by a majority, I think it right to abide by such decision. I do not believe such difference has arisen as that paragraph would make one believe, and it does seem exceedingly bad taste to try to create bad feeling in connection with the erection of a place of worship; especially so, viewing the hearty support and co-operation tbo trustees havo had in this matter. Ro steoplc-as tho church will bo a good ono, I think it we can afford it that a steeple, and whatever else may tend to make it attractive, should be provided. Ia conclusion, if the writer had been manly enough to append bis own name beforo taking liberties with other people's, it would certainly look more to his credit.—Yours, (See., Geo. Winstonb.— [We have good reason to believe that the ! paragraph referred to was substantially cor- I reet, and Mr Winstonc docs not dispute its I accuracy.—Ed. E.S.].

Mr Linabury, of Queen-street, has pro'

miaed a valuable silk dress to tho North

Shore Regatta Committee, for rowing com petition by ladies at the forthcoming aquatic festival. The committee are duly thankful for the gift, but find no little diffi culty in deciding upon the exact nature of the competition. The most suitable race for ladies is certainly one with fonr oars and coxswain. Here arises a slight difficulty, however, for, supposing a crew of ladies win the race, how is the prize to be divided. It would be a pity to rend such, a garment in four or five pieces, and on the other hand, to give it to one lady might create jealousy and dis content. If we must havo a four-oared contest, perhaps the difficulty will bo re moved in tbe premutation ot a few more silk dresses, or other finery, by some of our merchants who believo in encouraging tho healthy exercise of rowing. ' The Regatta Com mittee will be much obliged to any ladies for suggestions affecting the disposal of Mr Linabury's gift.

On Saturday last, Mr Justice Gillies delivered privately tho following award in respect of the disputo botween the Harbour Board and City Council touch in . the maintenance of reclamation streets: —

''I do award and adjudge that all streets

which had been at and prior to the sth of September, 1878, laid off and marked oi streets, on plans of the said reclaimed lands, submitted to the public by the said Harbour

Board, were intended to be, and were, dedi cated by the said board to the public as public streets or highways, and that on the said sth ot September, 187S, upon tho in clusion of the said reclaimed land within the city boundaries, the said streets were public streets or highways, and became vested in the said corporation of the borough uf Auckland, and came under tho control of the Council by virtue of section 180 of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1876, and that the duty of

making and maintaining and repair ing the same thereafter devolved on the said Council sole.'y. And Ido farther award and adjudge that the proclamation by tbe said Board of the 15th of June, 1830, of Quay-street wharf, Hobsou-Btreet wharf, Nelson-streot wharf, and Hardinge-street wharf was "ultra vires " of that body, the said wharves being then public streots, vested in the said Borough Corporation. But at the request of counsel I do further express my opinion, and would award and adjudge as follows, if I were satisfied that my powers under tho reference enabled me so to do, that is to say .-—That the procla mation of the said several streets (including Quay-street) as wharves was for the public benefit and convenience, and that all ne cessary steps ought to be taken by both bodies for tho validation of such procla mation, and that therefore sole cost of making, maintaining, and repairing the said streets so converted into wharves, should devolve upon and be borne by the Harbour Board. As I find I have no power to award tho costs of this referenco and award, each party must pay their own costs."

CHINESE ROW IN DUNEDIN CEMETERY.

[BY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

DUNEDIN, thit day. A DISGRACEFUL scene took place at the Southern Cemetery yesterday, in which a number of Celestials figured very promi nently. It appears that the Chinese are in the habit of holding a yearly feast over the remains of their dead countrymen buried in the cemetery, and yesterday they assem bled in large numbers for that purpose. Over the preparations, however, there seems 'to have been a decided difference of opinion between those who were to tako part in the proceed, ings, and on Saturday night a quarrel con. corning the matter took plaos, especially in regard to the tin dish, on which was placed the indispensable roasted pig, common to Ckincserfeasts and funerals, Tho dispute evidently was not settled on that evening, for on proceeding to the cemetery yesterday, and aftereverything had been prepared, the quarrel was renewed, and resulted in a general set-to. One of the party endea voured to get possession of tbo oause of ill feeling, viz., the dish on which the feast was served, and the others opposed him. This, as a necessary consequence, set matters going properly, and with a view of at once settling the dispnte those in favour of retaining the dish and those against it commenced pugilistic proceedings in the orthodox Chinese style; stones, gravel, punching, Chinese adjectives, pigtails, and even the poor roasted pig itself were brought into requisition as sinews of war. The scrimmage lasted some time, until the police arrived, when the various combatants took to their heels and made their escape in all directions. In the evening a number of them were arrested, but the majority are supposed to have made their way to Ander son's Bay and other places.

A WRON-FUL ACT.—George Chappell was charged, on summons, with leaving his horse and cart while in motion in Hobson street, on the 22nd nit., to the danger of the public.—Defendant pleaded guilty, and was ordered to pay a fine of 2s and costs. ON TH- LlNE.—Joel'Vicar Smith was charged with a breach of the Public Works Act, 1876, by trespassing on the Auckland and Onehunga railway, at Purncll, on the 6th ult.—Defendant did not appearand the case was allowed to stand over.—Presently a lad strutted towards the table and pro claimed himsolf the defendant in the case. He would, however, plead guilty.—Mr Pardy ex plained the circumstances. Defen dant was found on the line, and, had the driver of the engine not have seen him, he would most likely have been prevented from appearing in his own defence.—Tho Bencn gave »the ■ boy a severe talking to, and advised him, if ho wished to preserve his life, not to get on the line again.— Little Joel promised to attend to the re marks of the Bencb, and was discharged. Alleged Assault,—John Scarborough surrendered his bail and appeared in answer to a charge of unlawfully assaulting Lucy Elizabeth Furbor, of Parnell, on the 19th Oct. Mr Tyler appeared for defendant, and Mr Pardy conducted the prosecution.—The Bench asked all respectable persons to leavo the Court.—Mr Pardy stated the simple facts of the case, and called witnesses.— Lucy .Elizabeth Furbor deposed that she was 14 yeare of age, residing with her Sarents in Devonport-street, Parnell. _iew prisoner by sight. He lived three doors away, and had lived thorc for two years and more. She slept in the front room by herself. Her parents occupied the next room. On the night of the 19th Oct., she was disturbed. It was between two and three o'clock in the morning. She was i awoke by a noise on tbe fender. Then all was quiet and bhe fell asleep. Was again dis turbed by a hand touching her while in bed. Touched her on tbe breast. She put out her hand, but could feel nothiog. Heard something walking about like a cat, very softly. It was quite dark. Could see nothing. There was a chair beside her bed, Presently she saw Scarborough, shading a lighted match with his hand, and looking at her. She was sure it was the prisoner— quite sure. She called out, "Pal Pa ! Here's a black man in the room 1" Her father told her she was dreaming. She re plied. " I'm not, pa. Come quickly." Her father said, " If there's a black man in your room, I'll shoot him." The black man slipped out of the room and left. She got up and went into the passage. She went to bed between 9 and 10, but was not , certain whether she fastened her door ior not. Prisoner did not speak.— To Mr Tyler: She slept well that night. : Prisoner was dressed in dark clothes, with a : cap on his head. She had not thrown stones at him. Was not aware that pri soner had complained to her mother. She had not 'annoyed prisoner.— ' She did not call at first, because she was not sure that any person was in the room. She called out when she saw the light. i The prisoner called at the house the next morning to know all about it. Her mother did not say he should eat his Christmas dinner in Mount Eden. Prisoner denied ' the charge. Her mother did not hear pri soner get into the house. Her mother was i deaf.—To Mr Pardy : Her mother did not, in her hearing, wish that John Scarborough might cat his Christmas dinner in Mount Eden. Prisoner was barefooted in tbe ' room, (Witness here described his dress.) J Her mother told prisoner to go home when he called. She could not bear to see him. -Edward Furbor, carpenter, Devonport -1 street, Parnell, deposed that the last witness was his daughter. She lived with him, and usually slept in the front room.— The evidenco of this witness was corrobora ' five. When his daughter called out, he got out of bed and went to see what was tbe matter. Was told that the black man bad been in the room. Went to the front I door and looked out. Saw no one, The door was partly open. Stayed on the verandah some time and heard the clock strike three. His daughter made a state ment to.him, Scarborough came to witness the next day. Said he had not been in the house. Would not be guilty of such a thing. Witness said he was glad he did not i see him in the room, or he would have made a hole through his dark body. Scarborough replied, " And you would have done right."'— To Mr Tyler: The door, he should think, had been forced open ; on looking out he saw a light in Scarborough's room window. Knew he worked for Mr Crnickshank; that he was married, and had several children living in the house.—Mary Furbor, wife of the last witness, gave almost exactly the same evidence. She locked the front door before returning to rest. A sand bag was laid against her daughter's bed-room door to keep the wind ont. She got up after her husband, and lit the lamp in the passage. Her daughter told her she had been assaulted by Scarborough. She went to Scarborough's house and accused him of being in her house, Asked him what he wanted. He denied being there. Her daughter described the dress he wore. —Eliza Wood deposed that she was a widow. Prisoner's wife was her daughter. She resided in a portion of the house occu pied by Scarborough. A wooden partition separated them. She conld hear what was said in Scarborough's part when the talking was loud. Remembered the night of the alleged assault. Scarborough came home at 7 o'clock in tho evening, went out at 8, i and returned at midnight. She heard him •■ leave again at half-, ost 2 o'clock. Knew it i was Scarborough by bis footstep. He came ■ in a little before 3 o'clock by the back door, with rather a quick step. : Heard him speaking to his wile. She heard : him come in and shut the door. She could not sleep that night. ; Was suffering from asthma.—To Mr Tyler: Was prisoner's mother-in-law. Was not on good terms with prisoner and his wife.—Mr Tyler : I thought so,—Witness: Did not appear as a witness when prisoner was first brought up. Had not been subpoenaed. She did not wish 'to give evidence. Had not told persons that she knew nothing about it. Prisoner had refused her admittance to bis houae. Did not say she would .wear his life away. When prisoner walked in his room his tread shook the whole house.—Constable Arthur Dews, stationed at Parnell, deposed that he and Sergeant Jackson ar rested the prisoner on the 21st of last month. The warrant was read to prisoner, who replied that he knew nothing of the offence, and that he was not out of his house that night after half-past seven.— This was the evidence for the prosecution.— Mr Tyler said it was now his duty to address a few observations to the Court, and to shew that a prnia facie case had not been made out. — Mr Tyler then proceeded to state that on the night in question, the prisoner c&me home thoroughly tired with a hard day's work, and after teahe fell asleep on the table, and it was with much diffi culty that his wife awoke him and got him to bod. He slept all night, until the hour of rising. The story of bis going into the girl's room was highly improbable, and tho statement of the unfortunate mother-in law he considered all moonshine; and yet the Bench was askedto believe a story which no sane man could accept He believed it was all a dream, as the girl's father had thought. The whole story was utterly inconsistent He might say, in the words of "Quilp," that the prisoner must have been a " brainless idiot " to have at tempted such an offence. He would ask that the case be dismissed.—The Bench, after considering the evidence, felt it to be their duty to commit,—The depositions were read over and the prisoner committed for trial, but ou the application of Mr Tyler was allowed bail; himßelf in £50, and two sureties of £25 each.

This was all the business,

Captain Peek has commenced business as a wool-broker in London.

SPORTING NEWS.

The Melbourne Cup,

The Melbourne Cup—the great annual sporting event of the Southern hemisphere, : takes place at the Flemington racecourse ' to-day. None of the other great Australian : races excites the same interest as the Cup, ; and the news that will be flashed along the wires this evening will create a wa?e of ex citement in every town and hamlet in these colonies. Immense numbers of pleasure seekers make a point of visiting the Vic torian metropolis at this season of the year, and the running for the " Cup " is usually witnessed Ly upwards of 100,000 people. The interest of New Zealanders in the I event is increasing year by year, and we I feel we are not far out in estimating that between £100,000 and £200,000 is staked in this colony alone. In Auckland, between sweeps, wages, &c, there cannot be less thon £30,000 de pendent on the result. Perhaps the in crease in the interest felt in this part of the colonyjis in a great measure due to the fact that several gigantic local " consultations " have been filled up. Mr Abbot's sweeps total £13,000, and that of Mr Theodore Brown, with some smaller . added, about £11,000. Two New Zealand horses were nominated, Sir Modred and Somnus, and both are mentioned amongst the probable starters. These 20 latter are as follows :— Sweetmeat, 9st; Wellington, Bst lllbs j Savanaka, Bst 71bs,- First Water, Bst 71bs; Sir Modred, Bst 41bs; Odd Trick, Cat 91ba; Waterloo, 7st 81bs ; Canary, 7st Gibs; Trump Yoss, 7st 51bsj Wander ing Jew, 7st lib ; Wheatear, 7st lib; Chatterer, 7st ; Darebin, 6st 121bs; Pawnbroker, 6st lllbs ; Creswick, Cat lllbs; Somerset, Gst lOlbs; Czar, 6st 91bs; Sir Peter, 6st 9ibs; Somnus, 6st 71bs; Pollio, 6st 51bs ; Guinea, 6st 41bs ; Waxy, 6st lib; Carmen, sat 121bs ; Greyhound, sst Slbs; Spectre, sat Slbs ; Santa Claus, sst 71b_; Duchess, sst 71ba. It is likely the number will be further narrowed down to-day. Darebin, Waxy, Santa Claus, Savanaka, and Trump Yoss are the first favourites, the first-named having greatly improved his position in the betting market by winning the Victorian Derby. Two of the four mentioned will, in all probability, be found amongst the placed horses, The race will be finished at three o'clock, and it will be four hours later ere we can expect to be placed in possession of the result. An extra will be issued from tbis office imme diately on receipt of the news. We append a list of winners of the Cup since initiation in 1861 :—

THEODORE BROWN'S SWEEP.

An advertisement having appeared in the Star ti the effect that Theodore Brown's Sweep was to be drown at 6.30 p.m. lost evening, a number of persons congregated outside the door of the offloe of the Now Zealand Grand Gift-Club, in Grey-street. After watching outside the Grey- Btreet offloe for some time after the hour 1 c.ppol-ted. one of the subscribers inquired of the caretaker, an old woman, concerning Mr Brown's whereabouts, -he had not seen him since the morning, she said, and did not expect him at the offloe that night. A brief consulta tion amongst the subscribers was held, the result being that all the halls and public places in the vicinity of Queen-Btreet where it was likely the Bweep would be drawn were visited, bnt without effect. Despair had settled on the faces of the watchers, when a stalwart Ponsonbyite suggested that the lost one might bo at Mr Brawn's villa in the western suburb. A council of war was speedily held round an adjacent lamp-pose, and the man from Ponsonby offering to play the part of oloerone and principal ''ohucker out" if necessary, the party proceeded to our western suburb. The ancestral rooftree of the Brown's is located in Grace-street, and as the party approached some of them were again de. pairing, from the fact that the front of the house was in darkness. A brier delay with silence still as death, and the faint sound of voices was heard. In Indian file the party marabed down the passage, and entering at the back door found Mr Brown surrounded by his "Committee," coolly drawing the sweep. No surprise was evinced at the intrusion, and every thing appeared to be going on " fair and square and above board." In answer to a question put by one of the party, Mr Brown said the drawing had commenced at six o'olook. It was observed that at the time of the invasion three fourths of the drawing was over. Mr Brnwn, with a cordial smile, offered to let anyone take his place at writing down tbe numbers and the prizes, while the members of the "oommittee" displayed a willingness to permit a new shift to work the lottery boxes. The following gave their names to onr reporter as composing the committee, but how they were appointed he did not ascertain :—Messrs Tenc-ar . Stann-wix, Campbell, J. Lowe. G. White, F. Matthews, Sohledol, and another who appeared to'have a i delicacy in divulging his name. After tbe con clusion of the drawing some of those present who were interested in the Art Union of musical instruments asked Mr Brown when that little affair was coming off. He re plied that he intended to draw it after he had mode a copy of the result of the sweep drawfng and taken it down to the " Herald." One of the parties said that It would then be after 12, and Mr Brown would subject himself to a penalty nnder the Gaming and Lotteries Act. He likewise expressed his determination to wait till it was drown. Mr 8., seeing that the party were not to be put off, returned them their £1 each. The drawing is stated to bave bean held afterwards, and a list of the prizes has been prepared.

The drawing of Mr H. N. Abbott's unlimited Bweep on the Melbourne Cup eventuated at the United Service Hotel lost evening, nnder the supervision of a committee of the subscribers.

CONSECRATION OF CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

CHRIBTCHURCH, this day. ,;|| THE ceremony of consecrating the Cathe dral took place this morning. Nearly all the places of business in the city .were closed in honour of the event. Theweather was beautifully fine. The Governor had intended to be present, but was prevented by State affairs. Long before the hoar fixed for the ceremony, a larije crowd assembled outside the Cathe- » dral, which, soon after the opening of the doors, was literally crammed. About 2000 were unable to obtain admission. At 11 o'clock, about forty attending Bishops .and clergy, beaded by the Primate, bearing his crozier, walked in procession aronnd the building to tho Western doorway,.and thence into the Cathedral. The ceremony of consecration proceeded in the usual form. ■ The lessons were read by Archdeacon Hasper and the Dean' of Christchnrcb, The Primate .preached a very impressive and appropriate sermon. The service occu pied about three hours.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

WANGANUI, Monday. Mr Ballancc addressed his constituents to-night. After referring to some personal matters, he said he approved of the vigor ous policy of the Government with regard to the native question, bnt thought the people should not be too ready to expect war, as that was the way to bring it about. He approved generally of the new Licensing j Act, and thought Justices of the Peace I should be elected. A Royal Commission should be appointed to inquire into the working of the Education Act. He accepted the property tax, but thought agricultural ■ implements and machinery should ba exempted, and the tax made a progressive' . one, so as to reach large property holders. , He objected to the Ministerial local govern ment proposals, and thought the native population should have been taken into account in the Representation Bill. Re garding the native land he urged the return to the Queen's pre-emptive right. He had modified his views regaraing free trade. It might be suitable for England, but be thought protective duties suitable to a new country. A vote of thanks and confidence ■ I was carried. , 7

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. There are now 48 candidates tor the 21 seats in Canterbury. Avon, Lincoln, Akaroa, Selwyn, and Ashburlon are the only seats uncontested.
