VALEDICTORY SOIREE.

REV. W. MOBLE7, who leaves for Christ church to-day, was entertained at a vale diotory soiree, by the congregation of the Fitt-street Wealeyan Church, last evening. There was a good attendance at tea, and also at the public meeting, when Rev. H. R, Dewsbury presided. The Chairman, in his opening address, Baid they had met to Bay good-bye to Mr Morley, and to wish him God-gpeed. They were woll aware that they would sustain a great loss by his departure, as he had endeared himself to them in many ways, and had proved him self an admirable administrator, by the manner in which he had extricated the Auckland circnit from almost overwhelm ing financial difficulties. Mr Morley had been his superintendent minister for one year at Wellington, and two years in Auck land, and those were the happiest periods of his ministerial career. He regretted the Itinerant system which necessitated the departure from amongst them of bo able »nd willing- a servant of God. The Rev. Messrs Bull, (of Cam bridge), Robertson, M.A., Griffin (of Waikato), Macnicol, Oliver, and Buddie spoke of Mr Morley in terms of commendation. A complimentary ad dress was read by Mr Clayton, and Mr J. li, Wilson, a circuit steward, presented to Mr Morley a purse containing £81 on be half of some of the members of the con gregation. The Rev. Mr Morley, in re plying, said he very highly appreciated the kindness of the donors, and thanked them very heartily for their handsome, timely, and useful gift, and also for the graceful way in which the presentation had been made by Mr Wilson. He said that most persons connected with the Methodist Church knew that Auck land in future would have three cir cuits, and three yeara ago they had only one 5 the number of ministers had been m« created, the income had become larger, and the attendance much more numerous. There was also an increased attendance at the Sunday school. Reference had been made to the raising of considerable sums of money, and he had been praised for what had been done, but all the credit he could take was in the initiation of the work. The success was attributable to the fact that the initiative had been so generously seconded by the laymen. It was m matter for thankfulness that the congre gation had succeeded so well in this matter of clearing off the debt which existed on the property. Mr Morley then alluded to the insufficent stipend paid to the ministers, hitherto, in the larger circuits, and was glad they had resolved here to devise more liberal things, in the future He regretted to leave Auckland, because it was, no doubt, peerless in its beauty among The' cities of New Z.aland. There was no city in the colony to be compared to Auckland in regard to acenery. The city and suburbs had increased rapidly within the la*t few years—perhaps more rapidly than any other city in New Zealand. The work he had been doing here was chiefly laying the foundation for the future, and he could hare wished to have remained here twelve months more to have seen the completion of certain schemes he had initiated. He regretted that he had been unable to do so much pastoral work as he could have desired, but his time had been occupied in another way in the service of the church. Referring to the itinerant system, he said he thought a modification would be bene ficial to the church. He referred in eulo gistic terms to his successor, Mr Reid. A number of votes of thanks having been paused, the meeting terminated in the usual manner.

'{he Boers and natives, with three guns, attacked Chief Montizivia, South Africa, on the 21at ultimo. The latter rallied, and completely repulsed the attacking patty. The latter, whose losses are believed to be heavy, again advanced on the 25th ultimo, When they foil into an ambuscade and re tired, losing 38, including the Commander Chief Montizitia's loss was trifling.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

Conference To-Day,

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.

WELLINGTON, this day. Ministers are holding a Conference to day, at the Premier's residence. Mr Hall is still indisposed, and unable to attend tbe office.

NothiDg has yet transpired as to the re> suit of the consultations.

The"Po9t" says:—"The situation up to this morning remained unaltered, Major Atkinson did not reach Welling ton until toolatelastevening for any meeting of the Cabinet to be held. Mr Hall's health, however, continues steadily to improve, and tbe hope that he will be able to remain at the helm, is, therefore, proportion&bly encouraged."

SUPREME COURT.

Criminal Sessions.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies),

Alleged Cattle-Stealing. -In tho case of Grovss Vowles, charged with driving off and taking away an ox and a calf belonging to Isaac Coates, of Kiri kiriroa, the jury returned a verdict of " guilty." His Honor deferred sentence, as there are four other charges against the prisoner to be heard. False Fiutbhces. — Thomas Sims, alias Simpson, alias Brigstock, was charged with having in February lost uttered a valueless cheque for £2 upon the Bank of New Zealand, with intent to defraud W. W. VVarnock, leisee of tho Captain Cook Hotel.—Mr B. Browning appeared in the prisoner's defence.—The evidence went to show that the prisoner, under the name of Thomas aims, went to the shop of Mr'Murafofd (tailor) of Newmarket, and ordered a suit of clothe*, giving by way of deposit a cheque. He asked for a cheque book, and when one from the National Bank of New Zealaßd (Limited) was pre sented, he filled up a form striking out from it the word "Wational."— The Crown Pro secutor said that it had first been contem plated to Indict tho prisoner for forgery, but as there was no such institution na "The Bank of New Zealand (Limited)," this purpose was abandoned. It seemed that after leaving Newmarket the prisoner went to the Captain Cook Hotel, under the name of Brigstock, and cashed a cheque for £2, made payable at Hamilton. Shortly aftsr ward Mr Mumford went to the hotel, and mentioned that the prisoner had given him the name of Sims. Suspicion being aroused he was given into custody, after havingretained 30s of Mr Warnock's cash.— B. H. Whitaker, clerk in the Bank of New Zealand, deposed that he frequently paid bank drafts from England to the prisoner, who usually received £5 by each mail. The prisoner, who gave his name as K. U. Brig stock, received £5 on the 17th Feb., and since this transaction he got the regular £6 by the mail, and a draft for £26 — Constable Jones gave, evidence as to the arrest of the prisoner; who, he said, w«i known to the police as " a remittance man who stuttered."—Evidsnce was adduced for the defence with the view of shewing that the prisoner was " simple," if not ab solutely foolish. It is also alleged that be had been drinking at the time the false cheques were given.—The jury found the prisoner guilty of " false pretences."—His Honor imposed a sentence of three months' imprisonment with hard labour,—The Court then adjourned.

THIS DAY.

Alleged Receiving of Stolen Pro perty.—Charles Alexander Martin, for merly licensee of the Park Hotel, sur rendered to his ball, and was arraigned upon an Indictment charging him with having, on the Ist of December last, re ceived certain goods, viz., wines, tpirit?, cigars and pickles, well knowing, at the time, that they had been stolen.—The prisoner, who was defended by Mr Edward Besketb, pleaded "Not guilty." — John Ormstein deposed that he was at present undergoing sentence at the gaol for having, in November last, stolen certain goods from Mr A. H. Nathan, by whom he had been employed as storeman. Mr Nathan's store was situated on the wharf, to which it had a frontage, while the rear portion abutted upon Little Queen-street. He knew the prisoner, who, at tha time of which ho spoke, was licensee of the Park Hotel. One evening in November last he had a conversation with the prisoner in his hotel with respect to the sale of some goods. Witness told him he had some good whisky, and asked him if he would give him an order. The prisoner replied that he (witness) could get him some if it were cheap and good. Ho did not know if the prisoner then knew where ho was employed. Accordingly, he sent to the Park Hotel by a carrier named Inskep a case of whisky, a case of brandy, and a box of cigars. The goods were taken from the store without Mr Nathan's .authority. He saw tho prisoner the same night, and re ceived from him £2 on account. Subse quently he sent the prisoner two cases of wine, two cases of whisky, and a case of pickles, all taken from the came plate, Mr Nathan's store. Fortli"1 >ia got £3, and an arrangement w&8 mud a when this sum was handed over that ho should get £1 a case for everything he sent up—the proposal emanating frem witness himself. He-believed the prisoner knew at that time where the goods came from, as he had seen witness working at Nathan's. No receipts passed between them either for goods or money. He after wards sent another case of whitky and a case of schnapps, receiving altogether from the prisoner £8 10s, the extra 10s being money lent.— To Mr Hesketh : I told the prisoner that I sold for Mr Nathan on com mission. I did state at the Police Couit that I had received £14 2s in all from Maitin, and notmerely £8 10a. That was because a young man named Welsh brought me a paper to my cell asking me to swear to the payment of the larger amount so, that Martin might not got into trouble.—Alfred Clunes, labourer, and John Inskep, carrier, alao gave evidence. Arthur Hyman Nathan deposed that tke goods which Ormstein had sold to the prisoner, for £8, was £2016s 6d.—George Lee, Fstoreman, and Sergeant Gamble also gave evidence. —Bis Honor summed np, but the jury had not returned their verdict up till four o'clock. Indecent assault.—Michael Kyan was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with indecently assaulting Lucy Hallam, at Northern Wairoa. t Prisoner pleaded not guilty.-Lucy Hallem, aged eveven year?, deposed that she met the prisoner when gathering sticks for firewood. She walked some distance along with him, and he made indecent proposals to her which she rejected, He then carried her under his arm behind a pig-sty near her father's house, where he committed the assault. (Left sitting.)

A WASTE OF WATERS.

Scenes of Desolation on tfie Mis sissippi.

riBTBIBUTIOB OF FOOD FURNISHED BY

THE GOVERNMENT,

Memphis, March 10.—Commissioner Mangrim, of Arkansas, will ask the (secre tary of War to send 500 tents to Helena, Arkansas, where the refugees from the overflowed regions are gathering in large numbers, and are in a destitute condition. A committee from Austin, Tunica county, Mississippi, is authorised to proceed to Jackson to confer with Governor Lowry on the condition of affairs existing in that county. They have issued an appeal, which, after setting forth the great damage done to properly and stock, says:—" We find that familiei have abandoned their houses to inhabit every available spot oi grouid to be found; that a great many are without any shelter, and that unless food is carried to them immediately lives will be lost, with all the torture of starvation. The river Is still rising. We must have relief at once. While we are deeply grateful for the $15,000 appropriated by the Stato for gen eral relief in this valley, yet we cay that said appropriation is barely sufficient for the wauts of our neighbourhood alone. We no w say to the Legislature of this State and the Congress of the United States and to the people at large that we need help in the way of provisions and clothing, and unless we are speedily relieved our sufferings can only terminate in death horn starvation and colti." SOENE3 OF SUFFERING. Among the soffertrs from the Big Creek Bottom, who were brought to Trenton on Tuosdsy out of the overflow, were two women who had been confined, ono upon a raft and tbe other in a cstton ginhouse, after they had been driven fiom their hornet by the flood, and wero without the ■Hfhtest comfort known to the civillsod world, the wind cutl Ug mercilessly around them, the mothers hardly half clad, and with no garments at all for tho little ones, No tire nor food was to be had, under a»y circumstances. Tho swift current of tho overflow was rushisig, a«d anxious eyes w«re looking for rescue from all direction? in general and none in particular. The water in tho meantime was rising rapidly, adding to the despair which had already well nign culminated. The seen* was one that pen could not describe faithfully. The people generally lost nil their personal pro perty, eve* most *f their clothes that were usually worn, Jhe water coming «o rapidly that they were glad to have an opportunity to save thtmsolves, and if they are not en titled to the aid of the Government, it would not be posible to find a single deserviag object throughout the length and breadth of creation, Supplies were issued yesterday for fivo days to 1,149 by the sub. committee in this city. RATIONS FROM THIS GOVERNMENT. Secretary Lincoln telegraphed to-day that he has instructed that 20.000 rations be sent to Memphis for the relief of Tennessee sufferers. Messrs H. H. Harvey and G. J. Marshall, two reputable coloured men, re presenting the Kolief Associatioi organised on Monday at Greenville, Washington County, Miss., arrived this morning on the steamer Bslle of Memphis. They bring a doleful account of the sufferings of 'he residents of Washington County, where the lands have been covered by waters now coming down through William's bayou from the breaks in the levees bal«w Catfish Point. The lev«e along th« bayou having given way, Deer Creek is flooded, and the country back of Greenville is covered with water from one to seven feet deep. The town of Greenville itsilf is at present pro tected by ft temporary levse, hastily thrown up during the past weak. BROKEN LEVEES. Jnsav Orleans, March 10.— k special from Bayou Sara says that Point Coupes levee, three miles above here on the west bank of the river, gave way last night. This Is a naw levee, and was not yet finished. Yesterday the citizens cut the old levee in front of the new work for the purpose of letting water against the new evee. The cut became some tiro hundred feet wide, and the water rushed with such force against the new levee that about fifty feet of it was BWtpt away. Tho break in the new levse to-day is 300 feet wide nod is increasing. This will flood a portion of tha Fourche river country, increase the volume of water from Narganzia, and affect the best lands west of Baton Kouge. RAILROAD TRAFFIC INTERRUPTED, Tha New Orleans, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad is again submerged ana itnpasi able in the neighbourhood of Water valley, [its. The overflow hasaisumed alarming >roportion.«, Inundating all that section of ountry. Trains are unable to proceed urttier north than Coffesville, this tid« of Water valley. An arrival fron Red liver reports that 250 families below Alexandria are living on r»f ts and are in a deplorable con dition. TbeßayouSaraLeveeisstill giving way rapidly. It is all green earth, and crumbles as fast as the water pushes against it. The gap is 1000 feet wide, and the water as it goes through is about ten feet deep, but is rapidly digging a deeper channel and spreading far and wide over the country. It will over flow part of this parish, all west of Jiaton Konge, and portions of Assumption, Iber ville, St. Mary, Iberia, and Terrebonne, the richest sugar district in the Stata of Louisiana. False river and Grawettls country] will soon be inundated. The lots of property and sufferings of people will be terrible. The State Engineer says it is useless to attempt to stop the crevasse. The people of Bayou Sara are making a brave fight against the flood. All the stores are closed, and every man is at work upon the levoes which protect the place, while a draining machine is working against the fearful pressure. A DISASTROUS OVERFLOW. Little Kicsr, March 10.—A gentleman who arrived last night from Edmundson's station, seventeen mile* distant from Mom phis, on tbe line of the Little Rock Rail read, reported the water at that place to be over the top of flat cars standing on tbe track. Two engines of the company have been caught there by the rapid rising of the back water, and it is now np to the cabs of tbe engines. People have to go in and out of thair dwellings through the windows of the second story, as the wattr covers every thing there at from four to eleven feet. The railroad track is covered with water from Riceville to Madison, a distance of 29 milts. light miles of track Is afloat, and the telegraph wires are down nearly the entire distance between Kdmundson and Madison. At Blackfiah the water is five inches over the saloon counter at the eat ing-house. There is a small house there with a second story, and here about thirty persons are subsisting tho best they can, Some people have built rafts and are living on these floating dwellings. Tbe gentleman came all the way from Edmundsqm to Memphis in a dug-out. The country inter vening is filled with carcasses of dead animals that were caught by tha water and drowned. APPEALS FOR AID. Washington, March 10. - Secretary Lin coln has jnst received a telegraphic report from Captain Lee in regard to the damage and suffering caused by the Mississippi over flow, which is the most disastrous and widespread that ever occurred, and which has resulted in destruction of a correspond ingly great extent. The very lowest esti mate ot the number of destitute persons is placed at 18,500. Mcny resident* of tbe iac!c counties have taken refuge iv the hills to tbe east, and their immediate wants are provided for through local aid. From Tunica comnty to Greenville the people are compelled to take refuge in such buildings as are left standing on the levees, In most cites the only means of communication is by skiffs. Kven wi'h 100,000 rations already sent, and 50,000 more from St. j Louis, and with local aid furnished by Mis- j sissippi, the destitution in the district can only be provided for until the 20th inst. OCCIJBBENCE3 IN THE SUBMERGED STREETS OF CINCINNATI, On this portion of Front-street the houses ero principally used as dwellings. Tho ground floors of the houses are under from two to four feet of water, so tbat the occu pants have sought refugo in the upper stories. All the front windows were open, and looking out of them were hundreds of women and children, who were not able to leave their dwellings, except in boats, with any degree of safety. The street below, j which had become a part ot the Ohio river, was being navigated by numerous boats, I waahtirbs, planks ana number* of small boys were walking abont on stilts. At the . corner of Butler and Front-streets were I anchored several boats waiting to be hired ' out. | !I << what'll ye ax to row me 'cross to me ' i' house in the muddle of the block ?" asked I a son of Erin, coming out of a saloon at '. the corner, where he had been imbibing ! | rather freely, of a yonng man who bad , i' charge of the hiring of the boats. ' jI " Fifty cents," answered the young man ;iu charge. ' ■ | "To blazes wid ye and yer bout," io -1 turned the intoxicated man as he cauebt ; i hold of a plank that was floating by. He : mounted the plank, and giving it a push

reached the middle of the street, where the water was the deepest, when he lost his balance and down he went into the water, which bad the effect of ■ending up screams from women whose heads were sticking out of nearly every window in the neighbourhood. A boy, in a wash-tub, came to the rescue. A number of the children, imprisoned in ths houses, were amusing themselves by throwing cats and dogs out of tbe windows. One old woman attempted to cross the street in a tub, which upset with her, and she came very near drowning before help reached her.

A boy about 12 years of aije, who was amusing himself by walking on stilts across the flooded street, missed his footing and fell, and was taken out of the water unconccious. Shouta of " the baby, the baby," by a chorus of excited women's voices, rent the air, in this locality, late yesterday afternoon. The ex citement was occasioned by the upsetting of a washtub containing a youthful excursion party composed of a little boy and girl aged 10 and 12 respectively, and a baby about 4 months old. She bad charge of the navi gation, but proved a poor seaman, as the tub upaet. Fortunately the accident hap pened in shallow water, and no barm except a good wetting was done. A fine old Iriih lady, whose reaidence in Pendleton was visited by the flood, tat con tentedly on the side of her bedstead watch iug through the open door the work of removing her neighbours in boats. Being finally entreated to abandon her house and seek a place of safety, she said : " O'ill not go; O'ill stay here." And to this ulti matum the lino old Irish lady still sticks. If her house is out of water she " still is sitting, still is sitting" on the same bed stead.

THE LATE CAB ACCIDENT

Death of tho Boy McLaughlan,

Tub boy John McLaughlin, who was so seriously injureil on the occasion of tho cab accident, in West Queen street, nbout a fortnight ago, died in the Hospital shortly after noon to day. No hope of his recovery was enter tained from the time of the accident, but he improved greatly for several day's after being admitted to the institution. A relapse thca took place, and he sank steadily. Within the last few days he was frequently dolerious, and be came worse eacb d»y until death terminateed bis sufferings. His inothor was constantly in attendance upon him from the time of the accident. The deceased was about twelve of age, and resided with his widowed mother io Aberurombie-street, It is very probable that the inquest will be hold at the Hospital before Dr Goldsbro' to-morrow.

To the STAR readers nbout tno Valley Road. Mount Eden:—Mr Allen, formerly agent for selling the STAB, has ccasei to be so, and Mr McGregor has been appointed in his plnco. Tdo report current, that the Star was no longer going to be delivered in tho district is untrue. Tho paper will bo promptly delivered in the fnture.
