MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1881.

For tho cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in tha distance, And the good that we can do.

The Government are endeavouring, by a sories of bonuses, to induce the establish ment of a number of judiciously selected industries, which there is reason to belicvo would thrive in the colony. The last ones advertised in the " Gazette" include a bonus of £500 for the first 25 tons of butter and 50 tons of cheese produced at a cheese factory on tho American principle, exported and sold at a fair prico as a guarantee of quality. Wo hopo somo enterprizing Auckland investsrs will com pete for the prize, which, looking at the successful development of the cheese and butter trade in Canada solely through the instrumentality of such factories, ought to b3 ono of the most widely coutested of the whole series of Government bonuses. Now Zealand is a wonderful grass couotty, but ex 3ept in settlemenis adjacent to cities, dairying is greatly neglected. In many Northern districts with cattle ruuuing tbout everywhere, it is not on uncommon thing to sec prcseived milk on settlers' tables. The reason is easy to discern. An isolated dairy for a settler who has only i few cattle and little labour at his com nand will hardly pay. Combination is •equired to ensure success. If, however, as n Canada, a cheese and butter factory were jstablished in every district of importance ;o work up into marketable sbape the milk rom all the surrounding farms, the colonial iiarket would soon be better supplied, md the settlers would be placed at tho aine time in possession of a now aud con-'

sidorablo source of revenue. Mr G. Dibble, of Wolisford, has shewn how cheese-making can be made to pay when carried on with proper appliances and on a BUlliciently large scale. Eighteen cows are milked every day upon his farm, and the bulk of the milk is turned iuto splendid cheese. What he has done by his own unaided enterprise, might be accomplished in every district through North Auckland by combination in estab lishing and supplying cheese factories con ducted on the American principle, and we hope that tho bonus offered by tho Govern ment will be effective in introducing to this province a system which is so well calcu lated to develop our pastoral resources and increase the prosperity aud comfort of our small farmers.

An evangelistic sorvice in connection with the Orange Institution wns held last eveniug iv the Newton Hall, Mr Brume iv the chair. Addresses wore delivered by the chairman, and Messrs Beaumont and Shalders.

Theresa Ilaud writes denying that she had any acquaintance with tho woman Ann Vcsey, or that sho is " notorious," and she complains of her name being dragged iuto a case with which she had no connection whatever.

St Paul's Cathedral Church was crowded last evening. Thero was a full choir, and the anthem and musical parts ot the sorvico wore delightful. Rev. C. M. Nelson preached an extempore sermon on tho words of Christ—" I am the true vine." In the course of his remarks, ho explained why Christ likened himself to this, the most fruitful of Nature's productions, describing its growth and value, nnd making special reference to tho litiost English vino at

Hampton Court, with sundry quotations floin Pope and another translator of Homer touching the luscious character of the vine. And further, said the rev. gentleman, it produces wino " which makcth glad the heart of mau " which God intended it to do.

The anniversary services of tho Wellesley street Baptist Suuday.school were hold yes terday, aud largo congregations wore pre sent at each sorvice. Rev. J. Robertson, M.A., proachod m tho morning from tho Book of Joshua, c. 24, v. 15, and Rev. A. W, Webb in tho evening from St. Murk, a 10, v. 14.

Tho buoy oil the end ot Queon street wharf was, for the first time, rounded, Madge, dlirs. ; Observer, -Ihrs. 3miu. 20sec*. ; aud on tho second run rouud the Madgo again suc ceeded in gaining on her opponent, eventually winuing by 3min. 33sec . Wc believe thero is another raoo botwoen the two boats on the tapis.

In proceeding last evening to administer the rito of baptism lo several candidate* for admission iuto the Wellesley-street Church, tho Rev. A. W. Webb took occasion to make somo remarks upon tho levity with which the.ccremouy was occasionally referred to by certain newspaper writers. Ho said thatwhorover some miserable mummery was gone through in connection with a Church which had apostatized from tho faith, it was invariably described in tho press as nn imposing ceremonial, and spoken of as having an awe-inspiring effect upon the people, but when men and womon in simple loyalty to their Lord aid Master came for ward to share in an oiditiance instituted directly by Him they wore mado tho sub jects of derision and ridicule.

The farewell meeting lo the Rev. C. M. Pym in the Young Meu's Roomi this even ing is likely to be of an interesting charac ter. Tho rev. gentleman, wc understand, will give some of his New Zealand ex periences, and Archdeacon Muutisell, Rev, B. T, Dudley, and E. N. Bree, will also havo something to Bay in parting with n gentleman who has exerted himself so ably in tho cause of religious progress.

The winds blew lustily yesterday after noon in tho neighbourhood of tho Provincial Hospital, and played a " fantastic trick " with the now tent, but thoy did not prevent a considerable number of persons from at tending the monthly Service of Song held ou tho brow cf the green hill. Tho Service of Song was of a cheery character, nnd very gratifying to the intnatos who wero suffi ciently able to eiijoy tho singing. The Bervice was conducted by Mr Ryan with his accustomed ability. Special thauks arc duo to tho friends of the Ponsonby Wesloyan choir, and we hope frequently to soe them on theso occasions. One hundred dozen orangos wero distributed on Saturday to the thrco institutions.

When the Russian Emperor's yacht Livadia stopped short at Ferrol, on her way to Odessa (remarks a contemporary), tho explanation offered was that the yachting season in the Black Sea was over. The fact is tbat the ship was hardly seawoithy, and the most recent announcement is that a crew has been sent from Russia to assist at tho cxtensivo repairs which aro now i found to be requisite. It is to bo feared tbat the faults are organic, and will not yield to palliatives. A Russian shipbuilder, Verchovski, has given his opinion that the vessel will never be seaworthy. The idea that sho struck some floating wreckage in the Bay of Biscay is no longer held, and it is rcuatdod as certain that tho damage was caused by the wind and waves alone. There can bo no reason to supposo that the materials and workraonship were other than the best, and the conclusion that the fault must be in tho principle can no longer be resisted.

To tho Editor: Sir,- Having taken moro than a passing interest in Irish politics for 50 years, 1 was pleased that you gavo a rissutHc of tho progress of tho agitation. Although Mr Parnell has done some things wo may uot count wije, still there is much, I think, to commend in his conduct of the agitation. Feudalism, as developed in Ireland at tho present day, is simply intolerable ; but would it huvo been grnp p'od with by a Liberal Government if Mr Parnell and his associates had boen lo*s determined, leßs energetic, less powerful, less persistent, hiss varicd.itt their efforts and action 1 Tho rejection of tho tem porary measure to prevent evictions, ly the House of Lords.and no protest made by tho Government, could scarcely fail to increase tho disaffection aud cause reprisals, both on the part of thoso conducting the agitation and the people generally. Instead of carping at Mr Parnell, I am disposed to chide tlie Iri--h poople for submitting so long and so tnmely to such grievous wrongs. For England, whoso honourable future I havo long pas sionately desired, I have but little hope, if sho cannot speedily and for over displace the imbecile oligarchy that paralyses her action. O'Coouell was a genius, but erratic, more remarkable for display thau staying power. When iv the zenith of bis txiwer he should have done what Parnell is doing now. Sharnun Crawford, tho purest of Irish patriots, wanted him to do it, but ho would not. He lott O'Connoll, and had to go to Rochdale to obtain a scat in Parlia ment, in order that he mipht advocate Tenant Right and the Separation of Church and State. Genius turned the cold shoulder to those who sought these essential changes; hence Ireland's misery and starvation Without trespassing further ou your space, I would merely ask your correspondents to spare the expression of thoir contempt of the Communo aud Victor Hugo. They are, I think, a little too narrow-minded to apprcciato them, Hugo's influenco upon tho tuturc will bs acknowledged when Europe is govorncd in tho interest of peoples, not kings and dynasties.—l am, &c, SKSTKY.

TRAMWAY ACCIDENT.

[By Telegraph.-Pkess Association.]

TWELVE PERSONS INJURED.

DUNEDIN, Sunday. LAn nccidont of a most alarming character, resulting in the injury of twelve persons, one of whom is almost certain to die, oc curred at half-past eloren last night on tho Roslyn tramway. B.oslynls a suburb situa ted on (the hills above Dunedin, and tho tramway was started about four months ago. It is worked by an endless wire ropo to which the carriages are attached by gripper carriages, which are provided with a brake supposed to be powertul enough to bring them to a standstill whenever applied. Last night the last car started up Rattray street for Roslyn, and had proceeded somo Bix hundred yards up tho hill—the gradient of which is about one in sixteen—when something went wrong with the gear. The general statement is that the man iv charge of the brake put it off instead of on, and before ho could rec tify his mistake, the carriage commenced to run down the hill, attaiuing such a speed as it rushed down the inclino that all efforts to stop it by means of the brake were feeblo. Three men—Garrett, Spiers, and Stewart— jumped off, but tho rest were unable to get out of tbo car, which reached the terminus line at a feartul rato of speed, and broke through the heavy woodwork and threo foet of tho metal road, and turned over on its side. At one moment it appeared probable that it would dash across the footpath into tho Crown Hotel. Thero was plenty of assistance at hand. The carriage was righted, and the injured men removed to the Shamrock Hotel.

The following is the list of thoRO injured : —Andrew Thomson (Thomson, Strang and Co., drapers), cut and bruised ; John Strang, bruised and cut about the face; William Stewart or Steward, bruised about the legs ; Thos. Harvey, labouror, cut and bruised ; Rosamond Johnson, slightly bruised ; Wil liam Pearce, bruised and cut about the head ; Leckie, badly bruised and a long time insensible; Pearce and Clerk, bruised, cut, and severely shakou ; T. Mcintosh, bruised and shaken; P. Hanna, very little hurt; J. Conway, bruised; J.

Gairett, skull dreadfully fractured, case considered hopeless; Hislop, cut and bruised. The three men who jumped off fared the worst,'and were cut and greatly smashed about. The sufferers wero at once attended to by Drs. Brown, Fergusson, Dczouche, Burrows, and iMcUoUald. All but Giirre't are doing well.

This day,

All the sufferers by the train accident are progressing favourably. Garrett has partially recovered consciousness, and the doctors think there is a possibility of his recovery. It was reported over town last night he had died, and in one church a funeral sermon preached. Traffic was resumed to-day as usual.

SUICIDE OF A MINER.

(BY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT),

COROMANDEL, this day. John Burke shot himself yesterday morn iog nt 9 o'clock. He is tho miner whose mysterious disappearance a few weeks ago caused tho entire population of the gold hclds to suspend ordinary operations and go in search of him. Burke has long been suffering from depression of spirits. He was very eccentric iv his conduct. Last week, while with the volunteers at Waikato, ho remarked that he was a miserable man. Burke was a single mau residing at the house ot his aunt. Mrs Kcary, When tho discharge ot a gun was heard, a child ran to his room, saw de ceased's state, and gavo the alarm. At this timo theadultß were at mass at the Catholic Church. He had only left the house a few minutes. The'children were thus aloue. An examination led to the belief that the muzzle of a gun had been placed in his mouth. Tlio bullet went through the skull aud out through the roof of the house. Dr. Hovell was sent for, but death had been instantaneous. Sergeant Muhon arranged for an inquest to be held to-day. Tho deceased was a volunteer, and beiug well respected in private life, will be accorded a military funeral, which takes place at 3 o'clock.

MR STOUT ON HANGING.

(UVT TELKORAPII, OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

DUNEDIN, this day. Ma Srourhas au article in tho "Echo this week discussing the question of the death penalty. After alluding to the fact that convictions for murder are becoming vciy rare iv tho colony, the only reccut convictions being thoso of men of an alien race, to wit a Chiuaman, a Maori, aud a Fijian, ho remarks that of all tho acquittals for tho last few yoarg of persons charged Willi murder hardly any should havo been acquitted, if tho juries had returned verdicts in accordance with the evidence adducod. The instances are not confined to Auckland nor Dunedin. Thctc havo beeu acquittals elsewhere of persons who should not hove beeu ac quitted. If the people of New Zealand valuo tho good name of the colouy—if they valuo tho safety ot life, something must be done. So far us acting as a deterrent to men with murderous iustiucts is concerned, tho timo is not lipo for the abolition of the death penalty, but immediate nttcntion should be given to it at the ensuing meet ing of Parliament. It is plain that the jury think moro of tho life of tho murderer than ot the murdered, Tho law must bo altored to suit their likes and dislikos. Whenever the penalty aflixed to a crimo is such that it deters jurios from convicting tho timo for its modification has arrived. No ono can say that legislation ia not re quired iv New Zealand. It is a dire necessity, and though the removing of the death penalty has unfortunately, in many countries, lod to an increase of tho roll of murderers, yet in New Zealand, murder goes practically unpunished. Let juries havo the power accorded to them, in some p.irts of America to reduce the penalty to penal servitude for life if they so award. If that wero done newspapors would not have to chronicle so mauy disßtaccful failures of justice as has recently been their duty."

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.

BaiCK. BAY, which is situated on the shoro just opposite tho end of the Queen-atreet wharf, has been the scene of another serious boat accident, and on this occasion, wc regret to chronicle, a fatal one—two married rnou named Henry Drumtuond and Daniel o'Sullivan—having found a watery grave. The party had been out on a fishing excursion during the day, and when return ing and just opposite||Btick'|Bay, a squall struck the boat, capsizing her. The boat almost immediately sank, aud but two of ihe four occupauts—namely, James Allen aud Joseph Dengey—were able to savo themselves by swimming. James Allen, one of the survivors makes tho following statement :—" On Sunday morning at <J. 30 a.m., myself and three other persons,—named respectively, Joseph Dangey, Harry Drumtuond, and Daniel O'Sullivan,—left in the open sailing boat called tho Witch, and owned by a Mr Raynos, butcher, of Parnell, tor tho pur pose of lishing. We went to Glcu Orchurd, oif tho mouth of tho Tamaki, and after spending the day in fishing, started for home. While coming up the harbour, about 5 30 o'clock, aud when just |off Brick Bay, about half-a-injle from the shore, a squall struck the boat and capsized her. Myself and Dangey are both good swimmers, but neither of the two others could keep above water without assistance. Before leaviug l pushed a piece of board toward one of the men, and an oar to his companion,;telling_ them to hold on till assistance could be obtained. Dangy and myself then swam towards the shore. When about twenty yards distant from the scene ,of tbo accident I turned round but could sco nothing of either of the men. We then continued swimming for the shoro, and reached it safely. He is of opinion that both Drummond and Sullivan Bunk imme diately. Drnmmond is a married man with three of a family, and resided in Wakcfieldstreet. Sullivan is also a married man, and occupied a house near the Windsor Castle Hotel, Parnoll. The two men who escaped wero both single, Allan being in the employ of the Union Sash and Door Company, andDangey in the employ of Mr Raynes, butcher, Parnell. The water police have been engaged dragging tho harbour in the vicinity of the accident during the day, but as yet have fouud no trace of tho bodies.

Ah Jee was charged with a breach of the Vagraut Act, 1866, section 2, subsection 1, by having no visible lawful means of sup port at A uckland on April 25th. The prisoner couducted himself in a most eccentric manner in the box, gesticulating violently, aud talking in a loud tone of voice. Mr Pardy said he was a confirmed lunatic, and the best thing that could be done was to send him to the Asylum. There was no interpreter in Court, and a messenger was accordingly despatched for one. The prisoner was eventually committed to the Asylum on tbe medical testimony of Dr. Haines. FRUIT STEALING, John Knox and Arnold Garry were charged with tho larceny of fruit, valued at Is, tho property of John Waymouth, at Auckland, on April 23rd. Prisoners pleaded guilty. Knox, who was stated to bo an old offender, was sent to prison for forty-eight hours, with tho pleasant and certain pros pect of a flogging, while Garry was ordered back to tho Industrial School, from which bo had escaped. LARCENY. Maria Grey, on remand, was charged with the larceny of 17 yards of calico, valued at £1 10s, tbe property of John Grace, at Auckland, on April 19tb. Prisoner, who appeared with a child in her arms, pleaded not guilty. Jcannct Grace, wife of the prosecutor, deposed that her husband kept a shop in Hobson-street. On the day in question she was in the sitting-room at the rear when she saw a shadow in the shop. She went out and found the prisoner with two pioccs of calico in her kit. Witness screamed, nud the woman threw tho calico at her feet aud ran away. Detective Brennan deposed to having arrested he.-. Sho denied that she had been in the shop, but subsequently admitted it, and claimed that sho was only examining the calico prior to purchasing when Mrs Grace's scream alarmed her and she threw it down. Threats used by Mrs Grace caused her to run away. In reply to the usual questions, prisoner said she never intended to steal the calico. His Worship said the story was scarcely one likely to be believed. Prisoner must go to gaol for six wee! .with hard labour. This concluded the business.

DISTRICT COURT.-This Day.

(Before F. D. Fenton, Esq., Judge; Clerk Mr Cunningham.) ' Thomas Ellison v. Adam Elliott—. Claim, £25 17s.—Mr Theo. Cooper, f or plaintiff, asked for an adjournment, which was granted, until next Court day. SOMERFIELD AND LECK V. WILLLAM English.—Claim. £57 6s lOd. -Mr Lusk appeared for the judgment creditor.— Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for the debtor, and stated that in consequence of his living nearly two hundred miles away, he was unable to obey the summons. He __ a( ] forwarded a sworn affidavit to show that ho had no means at present to satisfy the judgment, that he was out of employ ment with a family of seven to support, and that his partner, Mr Rushton, procured tlie goods ou his own order, and received the benefits. He would submit, therefore that no order should be made upou' the defendant.—His Honor said the defendant should havo appeared for examination Mr Cooper said the defendant was living at Opotiki, and had no means of travelling to Aucklaud.—Mr Lusk asked to put the ' plaintiff iuto the witness box.—Frederick James Somerfield deposed that he was one of the creditors. He knew defendant. He was keeping a btore at the time of the transaction, at present ho is keeping an hotel at Opotiki. Believed English had an opportunity of paying. Since the debt was incurred, English had given a bill of sale and acknowledged the receipt of £500. The goods were supplied to Mr Hug. lish. He believed the hotel was a good paying speculation. He had not received any ot the debt. It.was difficult to speak of a man's position 200 miles away,—Mr Lusk said he thought defendant might have found 40s so obey the summons.—To Mr Cooper : Beard that English had a fire, bid uot know Rushton. Could bring proof that defendant was keeping an hotel.—To His Honor : English ordered the goods him self. Did not consider it a large amount of credit to give to a storekeeper represent ing himself in a good position.—Mr Lusk said this was one of those cases in which the law might easily be evaded. A man living so far away might send up an affi davit, and make all sorts of excuses, with out undergoing an examination.—Mr Cooper suggestedjthat good conduct money should be sent, that defendant might hare the necessary means.—His Honor ruled that defendant must attend in person, and, on the application of Mr Cooper, the case was adjourned for a month. James Wallace v. Wm. Cooper.— Claim, £50.—Mr Lusk for plaintiff.—Thia was a claim for rent.—Mr Burke proved service of summons on the 10th March. Mr Wallace deposed that the defendant was indebted to him, one quarter's rent, for land in his occupation. The money was still due and owing. He came from Papatoitoi expressly to attend this Court, also on the last Court day.—Mr Lusk asked for expenses,— His Honor: The Judge was away on the last occasion,—Judgment for plaintiff, costs, £4 16a. ADJOURNED CASES, John Lamb v. B. Beon, £50, damages ' G.W. Owen and Co. v. E. Bartley, £51 cheque ; John Cash v. Maurice Kelly, son. £60, damages. Robt. W. Johnstone by next friend, George Johnstone v. John Smith, £100, damages. This was all the business.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATES' COURT.-This day.

(Before K. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

Karsten v. Elley; claim £2 Ss.—Mr George for plaintiff and Mr Theo. Cooper for defendant. Alfred Karsten deposed that ha had been In the employ of Mr Thomas tflley, a butcher, at 25s a-V7eek, board and lodging. Left on the 2nd April without due notice. Mr Elley said he did not wauthim any longer. He stood up for a week's wages—went to his work on tho following Monday, but Mr Elley would not let him go one. He complained that he did not clean the horse properly. Had nothing to clean hira with,—Cross-examined by Mr Cooper : Had six years experience, Knew the business welL Could kill any thing. He could settle a sheep in no time —in seven or ten minutes. Did not take half-an-hour quite. —To Bis Honor : Dressed the sheep as well. Thomas Elley, of Parnell, deposed that he engaged the plaintiff. Was only in his employ one week as a slaughterman. Plaintiff said he was an "all round but. cher ;/; could do anything in the killing line. He tested him with two sheep, and he failed. He was nearly three-quarters of au hour over one. The first was fairly killed and dressed, but the second convinced defendant that plaintiff could not kill. Ho looked up his wages, and asked his man, Dick Miller, to pay him, and tell him he would not suit; he could not kill.—To Mr George : It was in the dressing that he failed most. There's a great difference between tearing a skin off a sheep, and dressing for ihe shop.—To His Worship: He bad permission to kill sheep on his premises, but not large cattle.—Richard Miller de posed that he was known as " Dick," hut his pioper name was "Richard." Bad experience as a butcher. Was in Mr Elley's employ. Defendant could not kill. He did not tell him so, but simply that he was to go to Mr Elley and get his money. A good butcher would kill and dro»s a sheep in eight minutes, the last sheep dresßcd by plaintiff was not tit to hang up. —To Mr George : Had 12 years experience as a butcher.—Thomas Macready, watch maker, deposed to seeing the sheep. Did not know who killed it, but he remarked to Mr Elley that it looked very bad, as though it bad been jagged and damaged. Had seen a good deal of killing, but had more experience iv eating,—This was the case, and counsel having addressed the Court, His Worship gave judgment for defendant, plaintiff to pay costs, £1 6s 6d.

Coombes v. Muirland.—Claim, £2 6d, gooda:— Mr George for plaintiff, and Mr Keating for defeudant.—Samuel Coombes, clothier, deposed that the claim upon Joseph Muirland for the balance of an account for goods. Had never heard that defendant was not the debtor. He had paid an instal ment in 1876. The suit of clothes was made iv 1874. Defendant, who resided at Onehunga, had never before stated that he was not the debtor, nor that the clothes did not suit. He could produce the measure ment.—Mr George suggested that Mr Muirland might have grown much thinner since, and the measurement of then and now might not tally.—To Mr Keatley : As signed his debts for the benefit of oreditors in 1877, but re-purchased the debts at a sub sequent period.—Mr Keatley said his client never paid an instalment, and he was but? prised that Mr Coombes had not applied to defendant for the money when he wasia Auckland almost daily.—Mr Coomhes: Have asked him about 20 times for the money. He never deuied the debt. On oue occasion ho called upon defendant at Onehunga. He did not then deny the debt, but said he was a "little hard up," consequently ho did not trouble him for some time.—His Worship said some further proof would be required as to the alleged payment of the £2, as there was a dis crepancy somewhere. In one book it was stated '74 and in another '75. If in the former, the plea of Statute of Limitation would come in.—Cornelius O'Neil deposed to entering the goods, but did not remember measuring defendant. The entry, was December I4th, 1874,—Mr George said perhaps defendant would allow himself to bo measured again.—Tho Court thought it would materially alter the case.

Riordan v. Gilbert.—Rent 19s.— Henry Johu Riordan said tho defendant had occupied a small place under him. Gave him notice to leave, but he remained two weeks longer.— Elani Gilbert, carpeu tcr, deposed that he took the place by iho week, and subsequently agreed to continuo for six months at the same rate. He had received a notice, but did not receive it until a week later than stated by Mr Riordan, who denied it.—Judgmeut for plaiutiff, coats 12s.
