A bbotl'a Opera Home was again filled last night with a fashionable and apprecia tive audience, to witae»s the third produc tion of " Tambour Major " by tho efficient company now occupying this place of amusement. The opera gains in favour upon repetition, its airs impressing them selves upon tbo popular ear, while the spectacular scenes, with their amazing variety of brilliant colonrs, have, perhaps, never been equalled in Auckland, Tbe dressing and pageantry of the opera are magnificent, yet the enormous expense the management has incurred to mako the production perfect is likely to be hand somely recouped by tbe public apprecia tion which has olready made itself mani fest. There were several encores last night, and the leading situations drew forth rap turous applause. The opera will be repro duced to-night.

The sixth anniversary of tho Newmarket True Blues, No. 19, L.0.L., was celebrated last night, by a soiree and ball. There waa a large turn-out of brethren and friends in the N ewmarket Hall, presided over by Bro. Craig, W.M. After an excellent tea had been partaken of tho hall was cleared, and afteraiow introdnctoiy remarks from the chairman, several songs were given. Ibcso embraced—" The Slave," and "Peace aod Quietness," by Mr Mtnzie ; "A Message from Purgatory," by Mr- Forsaitn ; at d a cemic song entitled " A Tragedy," by Mr Richards, Preparations were then made for the danciog, which formed the principal part. of the evening's proceedings, and before ten o'clock the music of the Hannkin Brothers i bad sum moned the dancers to the floor. Mr Robert Whisker acted as Master of Ceremonies, and conducted the assembly most satisfac torily. Dancing was kept up with much spirit till an early hour this morning.

The anniversary of the gunpowder plot of the.time of the first James, King «f Log land, was revived last night by clusters of the juveniles of the city and snburbj, and scores of bonfires were blazing around the city, and especially at Parnell, Freeman's Bay, and Ponsonby. The history of tbe plot is known to every forward schoolboy, and needs no repetition. The fires and crac'cera prevail on the memorable sth of November, not with the view of giving offence to a large portion of the community, but sheer sportivehess on the part of this lively and mischievous generation. "Guy " was seen in many streets and under vari ous aspec's, and after dark tied to a stake and purged by fire. A large amount of mooey must have been expended npon fire works by the bojs, as the explosions wero continuous, startling the dull ear of night with ominous sounds. We have not hoard that any serious accident has occurred through the dangerous amusements of the boys, but much satisfaction is felt that the game is oyer for twelve months" to come, j

Mr Charlos Cooper write?, with reference to tbe Rev. Mr Carter's lecture :—"I wish to state distinctly I did not rise and wish to ask questions. I had not the remotest idea of such a pror.etlnre. I simply re quested Mr Carter to re-deliver bia 1. clurcs on some of the week-day night?, ond allow public discussion. This, 1 am sure, is a very reasonable request. Thero was not the slightest occasion for a commotion. I would again make tho request to Mr Car ter, this time through your vsluable Columns, knowing that there aro a number ot individuals very desirious that he should do so, that he will kindly re-deliver h's very interesting lcctureß on some of the wceic-dny nights, and allow public discus sion. If he will do so, those who hold ?o (irmly to the precious Scriptural truth, the grand central ono beiug " The Lord Jesus Christ as the Resurrection and the Life " in the fullest senso of theteroi, which Mr Carter has been endeavouring to demolish, I say those who hold these truths will have an opportunity alfordcd them of confuting Mr Cutter's arguments in a legitimate way." Mr W. E. Sadler has been victimised by the potty shop-lifters.- He thus describes the ocouneuce : —'-Thcso small wretches soraekoiv managed to steer clear of mo lill Sunday night, November stb, whpn, be tween half-past six and half-past eight, my son quietly reading to mo iostde—a dark green curtain diwn'.over gluts of tho central door, I listfully raised my finger—listen !

Tho annual meetisg of St. James's Mutual Imptovement Aaaociation took placs lost night, in tho vestrj-room of St. Jamss's Hall, Mr H. G. Seth Jimith (chair man) presiding. The report and balance sheet were adopted, A discussion then ensued npon ceitain motions of which cotlce had besn giv»n. A proposal to mako tha chairman's tenure of office yearly was rejectsd io favour of making It bait • yearly, while Mr William Cooper's annual motion to expunge the rule which prohibits the discussion or introduction of religious subject* was nega tived by an ovsrwholming majority. Tbe doairability of aocnriog a more comfortable and cent'ally-aitoated place of meeting having been considered and generally ad mitted, the ;committce were empowered to take action in that directiouj The election of officers was then p-cceed'd with, and resulted as follows: — Chairman, Mr W.

The lungs being Organs readily liable to this lesion, they require healthful surroundings and high nutrition. When attacked byloss of function, contracted/breathing power, with a cough and tenacious expectoration, Aickin. Syrup ofEuca lyptus, with Hypophosphite of Lime and Quinino, should bo taken thrfco dally. This valuablo remedy will excite a healthy vitality and Sromoto a reparative action in the disorganised agues, tho breathing will become free, and the cough soon ceaao. This course of treatment is especially beneficial in consumption, bronchitis, and asthma. ,-

AUSTRALIAN NEWS.

• Total Loss of the Woniora. SEVENTEEN SEAMEN DROWNED.— ONLY ONE MtN SAVED. j OSE of the most feniful disasters that ever I occurred on the Australian coast happened during the gale on Saturday evening, when | the well-known steam collier Woniora foundered off Botany, and all bauds perished, with the exception of one man, Ileinrich Fredericksan, Tha circumstances of tke wreck aro as follow :—The Woniora J leftßulli fsr Sydney, coal laden, at 4.10 p.m., on Saturday, at which time there was a heavy south-easterly tea on, and extremely dirty wtather. The vessel, however forged through it, all hands lvmaining on deck except the engineer. Frightful teas wero encountered, and shortly before 10 o'clock, whan the vessel was about five miles south-east of Botany Heads, an overwhelming sea atiuck her, and alio immediately foundered with all hands, except one able seaman, HSINIUCU FKEDEKICKSEN, who states that the vessel left Built at 5 p.m. on Saturday, rather heavily laden, having 250 tsni of coal on board. There were 18 persona all told on board. The weather was very rough, wi;h a heavy easterly sea, a dense rain falling, and very dark. Tho vessel shipped water from the time of leaving Bulli, but ahe did not ap pear to 'bo any deeper than iho usually was. When nearly abreast of Botany a sea (truck Ihe vcsssel, she went over on her beam ends, and sank almost imme diately. At tho time she was strode several of the bands were bslow, and Fredericksen and others attsmpted to lower a boat, but it sank. Fredericksen jumped. overboard, and afterwards j:ot on a boat which shortly after wards righted itself, but was full of water; but getting bold of a plank, he managed to last it, and this kept it from capsizing. After remaining in iho boat for"nbout live hours, he managed to reach tho shore with the aid of a paddlr. He docs not think it possible that anyote else could havo been saved. After jump ing overboard ha saw one man, who sue* ceeded in getting on the bunt, hut ho was afterwards awept off by the aeo. Fredericksen, thoroughly worn out, got aahare at K.rnell, epposit. La Perouse, and, utterly exhausted, be lay on the eani until towards- daylight, when he heard some cocks crowing, and managed to crawl up to the residence of Mr Beaker, who at onco did all tlut was needful for the shipwrecked man. TUB NHWS IN BYDSEY. It was not until past 1 o'clock yesterday that the president of the Marine Board re ceived the news from Mr P. Clarke,- Cus toms officer ot Botany, who wirtd that lie had sicked up a quantity of wreckage on tbe beach supposed to belong to tbe Woniora, and that ho was molting farthsr search alsng tho coast. Captain Hixsou lost no time in despatching the Captain Cook, steamer, in search, and Captain Creer on arrival at Botany having been in formed that Mr Beaker hod obtained Infor tunium of tbe wreck, steamed across to La Perouse, and having obtained Ike particu lars from Fredericksen, took him (,n board and left for Sydney. ai might well be imagined the most intense ex citement waa creatad when the sad event became known; and on arrival of Fredericksen he was at once taken to Cap tain Hlxson'a residence, where his want were kindly attended to.

Atrocities in Connection with South Sea Island Labour. . A telegram was rec-ived from Brisbane, dated 30th October, to tbo effect tbat the the schooner Roderick Dim, ongaged in tho labour trade, had arrived at Maryborough from Polyneaa. On her outward voyage ahecarricd n number of natives whose te'm of service in Queens'aad bad expired. Shortly after leaving Maryborough an in sane islander ran amuck, and tomahawked Mr Fellows, iho Government ajrent, The madman was immediately shot dead. While the Rhoderick Dhu was recruiting islanders, her boats wero frequently fired upon from the ehere. Rifles have btcomo so plentiful in the islands generally ream ted to that recruiting has become exceedingly difficult and dangerous. Some of the Rode rick Dbu's " return boys " were landed at Paaraa, and were immediately seized and murdered, and afterwards eaten by the inhabitants. Tho Roderick Dhu spoke the schooner Helena (also from Maryborough), who reported that tome of her "boys" wero landed at Apii, and immediately murdered by tbe poop'e there. The bedies, which were left on tbe bcacb, were re covered by a boat's crew from tho Helena, and buried at sea. The Helena farther reported that wbilo the boats were away recruiting, a number of Tonoa islanders boarded the schooner, aud incited the ro ciuits to seize the vessel. When the boats returned a serious conflict ensued. The mutiny was quelled, but not before three of the marauders had been killed. Sale of Shorthorns in Melbourne. At the aale of Mr C. B.

WRECK OF THE SCHOONER CORONET.

By arrival of the Hero fto» Fiji, wo learn of tho wreck of t-e Auck'ond schooaer Cor ono t near Suva, on the 19th of October loat. Mr Robb, mate ef ihe schooner, was a pa«eager by the Hero, ond to him we are indebted for fall particulars ef the mishap, He soys:-" We left Apamama on Septem. ber I7th, the Coronet being in charge of Captain Hayward. There wero on board the captain and crew of the cutter Rose, recently stranded .at Aramama and 37 native labonre-sforSuvs, The cargo comprised 53 tons cobra. Arrived at Suva on October ICth, lacded passengers and labour, and left on the evening of the same day for Levuka; weather was thick and squally. On the morning of the lPth, at 1.30 a.m., the aehoenor soddenly struck on the N. r\ end of the Australab Reef, close to Una, and abont three miles from the Sola Roctc. Directly she itruck the vessel canted over seawa'd, tbe sco making a clean breach over he, and washing everything movable from her decks. Within five minutea after sho struck, sho was full of water to the decks, and had to be abandoned. The psssengera and crew, 15 in all. took to the boat, arid landed at an island closo to Una. Here provisions were obtained, to enable us to continue the passage to Suva. Arrived at Suva on the 23rd, without any accid-mt or great priva tion. Captain Hayward here chartered a vessel, to take himseli aad ,-creW;\to: Levutea, "and pass the shipwrecked vessel with, .the object ot saviog if postible. anything valuable. The Coronet was found ati'l en tho recks. The port side was completely gone, and the decks partly washed away. We succeeded in saving a few sails. At Lcvuka an, official enquiry "was held, when the captain was exonerated from all blame. The wrecking of the vessel was attribnted to the existence of a strong current setting in towards the reef, which was not marked on the chart,...

lhe schooner Coronet was a wooden vessel of 95 tons register, built at Mahu rangi, Aew Zealand, in 1871. Messrs Henderson and Macfarlane, of Auck land, eo'd the Coronet to the King of Apamama a few months since. She ia in- Bured-in the New Zealand Office for £600.

NEWS FROM THE CAPE.

FROM THB " OAPA" ARGDS," OCT. 6.) By the arrival of the Orient s.s. Austral wo arc in receipt of Cape papers to October 6.

The Small-pox Epidemic.

Tho Town-house register of deaths for thol2mo.ths from August, 1831, to August, 1882, shows a total for the 12 months of 1,635, or a monthly average of 1.6; which, upon an estimate of 45,000 as the popu lation of Cape Town, would give a normal annual death-rate of less than 36 per 1,000. The deaths registered at the Town house for the month of August were 239, and for the month of September, 6So—to gether, 919. If we deduat from this the normal number, calculated by doubling tbe above monthly average, we have 227 diaths to be deducted ss havirg occurred from ordinary diseißes, leaviog 647, which hive . eccaned in two months, either entirely from small-pox, or horn amall-pox and acme un usual development of fevers or other di-ease. The number actually registered at ihe Town* I house as havi? g died from small-pox is only ;500, which leares 147 deaths^unaccounted for—certainly an extraordinary number to have been carried oft by any special disease ' acting Bide by side with smatl-pox, One obvious explanation is tbat a considerable 'portion of the 147 deaths have real'y oc cuired from small-pox, but have been at tributed to other causes. Taking the Town-House iunres as genuine, we have 500 deaths attributed to small-pox in the two months—leaving out of account any deaths from small psx occurring in July, and to tbat number we must add 216 deaths recorded at tie hospital, giving a total of 716 deaths from within the municipality in two mooths, This would make our dea h rate during the period at 133 per 1000, as against the always high rate of 36 per 1000. '.Tafcipg

■ " - ' m.i 11 1 1 1 11 ■■> the Townhouse figares as correct, we have about 1,800 cases leperted to the municipal officers in ono way or another since the outbreak oi the epidemic. The Town, house record itself shows that of 1,800 cases attacked 71C have died, or between one-third and one-half. Can this stattling fact bo possibly true ? Either vast numbers of cases have been unreported, or the proportion ot deaths to cases ia really 40 per cent. But these are only the figures for the limits of the municipality. At Woodstock the total number of cases re ported is C 3, of whom 13 died, exclusive of Kaffirs, 27 of whom were sick at one time, and of whom 10 had died. At Wynberg 50 cases have been repertad, of whom six have died, and at Kondebosch they have had 19 cases, of whom three have died, At Mowbray, if we say 50 cases we aball be within the mark; and at the "Wynberg rate that would give six deaths. Than we have Claremont, which, we suppose, includes Newlands, where the reports appear to give 54 coses with 16 deaths, and Green Point with nine reported cases. Taking all these figures for what they, are worth, and they are obviously under the murk, we have 272 ca»o3 in the suburos, with 54 deaths; making a total for city and suburbs of at least 2,012 cases, with 770 deaths, not to speak of op-country nnd coast cases. The leal numbers are certainly hi-ber,

Thb first Spring Race MeetiDg Is being held to-day under the happiest auspices, so far as weather is concerned. It is a bright, watm, sunshiny afternoon, and the country* side wears its chaetfnllest aspect Unfor tunately, however, there are some counter-' vailing disadvantages which militate to an appreciable extent against tbe full success, of the gathering." Tse chief of these, is the fact of its being mail day, which prevents many ardent sportsmen who are engaged io business from attend ing, and then there is the usual incertitude as to time-table, the authorities having failed to advertise it. This it all the more regrettable a* the meeringis one of an experi mental character. . It is the only attempt made here to Wow the example of Christ church in popularising the show and races by having them fixed for the tame week, and this accustoming people to regard it as a kind of carnival. Still, the attendance is not by any means dis couraging, but) as we bave pointed out, might have been the better with the exercise of a little foresight. The Grand Stand is pretty well patronieed, and j some charming toilettes are displayed by the ladies, whilst among the people on the ground a good proportfon of country visitors is observable. Mr Percivol had tbe course in splendid condition, and the new location of the saddling paddock-gave general satisfaction, the old feeing occupied by the Engineer Baad, which enlivens the proceedings by discoursing frequent selections of instrumental music. Mr Dallen caters for creature comforts.

Merlin and Amazon pasted the leader, and entered the cutting together, the filly coming ont of it a quarter of a length ahead. On tureieg into the sttaight, Merlin recovered her position, and, drew away half a length from Amazon, tbe whole field whipping hard. Coming np the straight on the stretch home, Kslo answered the call of Taylor and ran into the first pace. from which point it was easily seen he had the race in hand.
