MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1882

For too cause that Licks assistance, For the wrong that needs reslstftncfl For the future in tho distance. And the good that we can do.

A SINGLE stroke of generalship on tbe part of Sir Garuet Wolseley has virtually termi. nnted tbe Egyptian campaign, crashing out the JNationalist rebellion, and restoring the rale of the Khedive. The carefully-planned attack on the entrenchments at Tel-el-Kebir was made with a deeper design than the mere capture of that position. Its object was to cut a line across the country from east to west, and thus divide the rebel army into two divisions—having Arabi and his large force to the south, amid a popula tion known to be pretty loyal to the Khedive, and isolating him from the disaffected forces and population around Zakazik, Tautah, and Kafradowar. The plan was most successfully carried out by the night attack upon Tel-el-Kebir, and the results to be expected from such success have followed with far greater rapidity tban we have dared to hope. The British troops, catting off Arabi's retreat upon Zakazik, occupied the town unopposed, and the main force of cavalry, pursuing tho retreating army to Cairo, found on ranch ing that city that Arabi had failed in cor rupting the loyalty of tho garrison and in habitants ; that he had been stoned in the streets, and finally arrested by the governor. He was taken over as a prisoner of war by tho British, along with about 10,000 of his troops who had shared in his flight. With the fall of Arabi the rebellion collapses. That he, ia bis boundless arrogance and ambition, was the ani mating spirit of the whole movement, is evidenced by the fact that, on hearing of Arabi's defeat at Tel-el-Kebir tbe Governor of Kafradowar tendered his submission to the British, and that strongly fortified position is now in the possession of our troops The Chamber of Notables has given ia its formal submission. The defeat of the Nationalists is complete and crushing, and tbe triumph of the Loyalists is being celebrated by banqueting and general rejoining, Here, as everywhere throughout her Majesty's dominions, un feigned satisfaction is felt at tbe result. What is more to the point, tbe Kuropean Powers generally are well pleased with tbe British triumph, though (us was to be expected) the French have received the news somewhat coldly. A few questions of great* interest still loom in tbe fu ture, however, chief of which are : What will now be the attitude o£ Turkey ? and what will be the nature of the final settlement of Kgyptian affairs ? Above all, will that settlcmont be effected amicably, and without the outbreak of that general European war which many leading states men believe to be imminent ? Then there are minor questions, such as—What will be tho reward of General Wolscley ? and what will be the punishment of Arabi Pasha? The latter question is one that ought to be promptly and effectually answered, 'the traitor's doom is death and the pacification o£. Egypt cannot be con sidered complete until Arabi ,is put

out of the way of doing further mis chief, The punishment of Arabi rests with the Khedivo, against whose au thority he plotted and took up arms; but British influence ought to bo exerted to prevent any Turkish interference which would tend to stultify tho victory gained. A peerage is doubtless in store for Sir uarnet as the reward of his success, and no one will grudge him honours so^worthily earned.

We are requested to state that it is de aired that the baud of the Choral Society should attood punctually at half-past Boven o'clock on Tuesday, as "Moses" will be gone through completely. The attendance of every performer i* necessary, for the purpose of testing and correcting the parts.

In our obituary notices is aunounced the death of the Rev. W. Taylor, Church of England Minister for Wuiuku and Mauku. The deoeasod gcntleiunn had been resi dent in the district six years, aud was highly respected by all denominations of people. Formerly be was head master of St. Matthew's school (Auckland).

Detective Brennan and Constable Jones returned from tbo Thames jcsteiday, and brought with them a number of missing articles, somo of which had been sold and others pledged by tho prisonor Kobcrl Mnr9h, who, it is believed, camo by thorn dishonestly. Marsh, it will be remembered, worked at tho Thames for sorno time as n journeyman hftrnessrnakor. Those pur loined articles will moat likely be traced to the prisoner, whoso caso will be heard on Friday next.

It appears from our cablegrams that the loss of the Auckland mails by lire, while iv transit from New York to Liverpool, U not so great as reported. Ouly two bap of letters and ten of tewspapera are said to havo been burnt. Explosives in tho mail bagj, it is presumed, caused tho fire.

A football match betweon tho S1- Stephon'a Maori school and the Albert Foot ball Clubs was played in tho Domain hollow on Saturday aftornoon. Tho game all through was a very oveu one, although tho Albert played two men short; it re sulted in a draw, both sides getting a try, neither of thorn being convened into a goal. A. Piitchnid secured tho touch for the Albeit, while Tuhirnnni got the touch for the Maoris.

At an extraordinary meeting of share holders of the Ucndigo Unitul Goldmiainf,' Company, htld oa Saturday, Mr Lennox in tjie chair, it was rtsolvod to wind up the Company, and Mr Daw was appointed liquidator.

The Hon. Thomas Rusaell, C.M.U., has returned to Auckland by the 8.8. City of Sydney. Mr Russell has been absent from this city for several year*, and was greatly interested in seeing the numerous pleasant changes and signs of improvement iv every direction. The hon. gentleman will be welcomed back by many citizens and old friends. We understand that Mr Rus»eH's visit is only temporary, and in connection with his private business.

At tho regular weekly meeting of the French Literary Society on Saturday, Mis 3 Coates, Superintendent Hughes (Fire .Brigade), and Captaia Butler (Salvago Corps), were elected members. Mr C. de L'Kau gave an interesting and highly amusing description of a visit which he paid iv bis youth to Mount St. Fetor and its wonderful cares, in the province of Limbourg, Holland. It was much enjoyed. Mr Levy also contributed to the entertain merit of the audience by leading Lamur tine's account ot the flight of the ill-starred Louis XVI., and bia arrest at Varennes. Mr Albin Villevol (honorary secretary)Jis to lecture next Saturday on Jean de la Fontaine, the illustrious Fronch fabulist.

On Saturday afternoon a hansom cab driver, named Saninol Ritchio, "was driring two fares, Mr and Mm Snow, home from the meeting of the Pakuranea Hunt. On the Great South Koad near Mr Dilworth's residence, the horse, a young one, shied at a bag, carried by a boy who was tiding along the road. The hansom went into a deep ditGh on the road ride, tbe driver be ing jerked over a fence into a paddock fully 15 feet from the sceno of the accident. When picked up it was seen ot once he was dangerously if not fatally injured, as he was unable to move, and was bleeding profusely from the mouth and nose. He was conveyed in a baker's cart to the Hos pital, and very little hopes for his recovery were entertained. Yesterday he was slightly better, From enquiries made at tbe Hospital to-day, it would appear that the man is much better, and it is believed that he will recover, The kidneys appear to be ruptured, and he_ has passed three pints of blood since his admission. The injuries to tho head are not of so serious nature as was at first supposed.

The first competition of the Auckland Artillery Carbine Club took place at Mount Eden Rifle tfange on Saturday, with the subjoined results—Mr Rogers, secretary of the club, keeping the scores :—Gunner Bell, Ist prize, £2 10j ; Gunner Hondersoo, £2 2s 6d; Captain Payne, £1 15s; Gnnner Parslow, £1 7a 6d ; Gunner A.

I The Rev. G. S. Somerset Walpole, M. A.i of Trinity College, Cambridge, who has been selected by tho Key. A. ft, Tomlinsou ia Kngland for the incnnihoncy of St. Mary's parish, Parnell, ia to leave England on < ctobcr 7, for Auckland, by the Austral. Before leaving, he is to be manicd to a Miss Barham, a niece of the Bishop of Winchester. The Bishop of Tiuro, ia whose diocese Mr Walpole has been since his ordination, says of him:— '•The loss of Mr Walpole, if he goes, will be a prievous one to us all—to college, to cathedral, and to me personally. Bat I scarcely know anyone whom Iconld recom mend co heartily to the work at Auckland. He is an accomplished well-read man ; has had experience in parish work, as well as in training men for the ministry. He is a most true gentleman, a good musician, and a most hard worker in ihe cause of his Master. In character he is most simple and earnest—petfectly single-hearted, kind, and unselfish. His preaching is good and sensible, and his views liberal and comprehensive. He delights in working with and for laymeu, and they with him. Our large effective Work, men's Club is almost wholly his creation. I cannot imagine where we are to look for anyone who can take his place with us, but I have no riuht to keep him from work for which both he and his future wife are exceptionally fitted. His great interest in New Zealand has acted on him, and I feel, sure that he would do work which wll be highly appreciated."

An alarm of firo was given at about eight o'clock this morning. The causa was a chimney on tire in l'roeinan's Bay.

We have been favoured with a glance at the plans of the buildings fur the Auckland Tallow and Manure Company, near Wea tern Springs. They were drawn by Mr Holder, an English architect who has re cently started business here, and the design appears to be an excellent one, combining a pleasing appearance with utility. Ven tilation, an important point iv an estab lishment of the kiud, appears to have been specially provided for.

Tho aecMtary of the Auckland Teachers' Association, Mr E T, Hurt, has received information from Dunedin that an eiVort will shortly be mado to establish a. " New Zealand Educatunul Institute." All .Pro vincial Institutes aud Teachers' Associa tions throughout tho colony are invited to nominate representatives to torui a general council for the purpose of drawing up a con stitution tor the proposed New Zealand Educational Institute. The first meeting of the council will bo held at Ohristchurcu during the Chislmas holidayl.

Mr Wells, organist of the ChrUtchuToh Cathedral, having obtained six months' leave of absence for the purpose of taking a voyage to liuglaud as a means of re cuperating his health, has just arrived In Auckland en route. Tho geniality of the season, the salubrity of the climate, nnd the city and its environs, however, have im pressed him so favourably that he has re solved to abandon the trip Home, and

spend his furlough here instead. It is his intention, therefore, while sojourning here, to give lessons in sinking, and pianoforte and organ playing, and his repute as a musician should readily secure for him plenty of pupils. We feel assured that once his ability is generallyj kuown, strenuous endeavours will be mado to in duce him to become a permanent resident

in our midst. Mr Wells'a card appears clsO' where,

THE BLAND HO LT "WORLD " COMPANY.

The above company aro expected (o arrive hero to-morrow from Wellington by the Rotorua, and open at Abbot's Opera House to-morrow evening. The following is a short description of the plot :—

Tho plot reveals incidonts of every-day lifo many of them of very recent occurrence which aro skilfully woven round tho lives of two brothers—Clement and Harry Huntingford. Clement, a fine, manly follow, leaves his Tiome by reason of domestio troubles, and seeks hiß fortune at tho Capo diamond-fields, uudor tho assumed naiiio o£ Charles Hurtley. Harry, his brothor, ia a heartless libortino, who squanders his patrimony and then marrios an unfortunate woman, Mabel Owen, and also squanders her money. Mabel's brother Nod, and her father aro alao on tho diaraond-floldg. Hany, though mar ried to Mabol, is promisod In marriage to Mary Blythc, who, ignorant of tho mesalliance, goos to tho Capo U3 a governess, on tho understanding that on her return Harry is to marry her. In tho first act tho steamer is seen loaving Capo Town wharf, having osptuvougors the Owens, father and eon, and Mary lllytho. This is tho steamer whloh is doomed to deßUUß tion by Mo. Jewell, who, having shipped by her a lot of bogus diamonds, has " planted " an in fernal maehlno in tho hod, set to exploio in nine days.; Juat as sho is about to leavo, Charles Hartley comes on the wharf, having received a letter advising him of his father's death and tho reversion of tno family estate to him. Having no monoy, ho is in despair as to how ho is to roach England. Amonctnopasaongors.howovcr.ho es pies ono Martin Bashiord, his old partner on tho ilelds, who had robbod him of his sharo o£ their diamonds. . With him ho compromises for £50. nnd takes passago In tho same boat. When nine days at Boa tho explosion takes plaoc, and tho only passenKors savotl are Hartloy, Bash ford, Owen, nnd his son. Owen dies of thirst on the raft, uiidthe othor three aro savod by a passing vossol. Tho sceno is changed to Lon don, whero Moss Jo well Hurry Huntingford.and Lumley, a solicitor, aro discovered conspiring to appropriate Sir Clement's csta'o, bclioving him to be at tho Capo. In the midst of thoir schoming they hoar of tho arrival in London of Sir Cle ment. In dread of this discovery thoy plot hi 3 dpath.it being arranged that Harry should go to his hotel and there murder him. Strangely enough, Martin Bashford also hears of Sir Clement's arrival, and knowing that he has in his possession a largo number of diamonds, handed to him by Owon at tho timo of his death on Hie raft for conveyance to Mabel, ho conceives the plan of stealing thorn. Entering tho room in his hotel during tho temporary absonco of Sir Clement, ho iajustinthoactoC rifling tho portmanteau when Sir Clomont re turns, in time to frustrate tho theft. Craving forgivenoss, Sir Clcmont pardons Bashford " because thoy wero old pals on the diggings," and dismisses him from tho room, Bashford, however, only feigns departuro, and, returning, applies chloroform to Sir Clomont. Just as ho is in tho act of searching for the keys of tho portmanteux, Harry ontora tho room. Tho lights being put out, Bashford replies to Harry's querios, and, under pre tonco of leaving tho room for a light, he is murdered by Harry in mistake for Sir Clement. Tho error having been discovered next morning, tho Jew, Harry, and Luinley contrivo to have Sir Clomont looked up in a private lunatic asylum, from which, howovor, ho escapes, and denounces his would -be assassins. "Wo are then transferred to Harry's luxurious apartments, whero wo sco him cruelly discard his wife, and in his insane but hopeless passion for Mary Blythe wo also sco him assail her with violence. We see him and his co-conspirators skilfully entrapped by Sir Clement into confessing thoir guiltiness: whilst Harry at last, like a rat driven to his hole in tho vain hope of escape, falls accidentally down tho elovator Bhaf t in the palace chambors, thus meeti' g his death. Wo see Virtue, as per sonified in cir cloment. triumphant; while Lurnloy, the false steward, and Jewell, tho wholesale murderor, mako their exit under police escort. Mabel finally overcome with tho many trials and troubles ftf her varied life, dies in tho midst of tho revelri-s of a fancy-dress ball, whither sho had gono in search of her penniless husband.

AChic»go-Washington spscial says : It is stated that Colonel Bab Ingersoll has lost his entiie fortune in a mining specu lation in the well-known nlver mine, "lvanhoe," located, in Socorro county. N.M. He was tho chief organiser, Colonel Ingersoll is reported by his intimate friends as having been greatly stunned by the recent damaging testimony against his clients in the Star route trials. jJis friends gave him the credit of a sincere belief in the innocence of his clients, and ; think they discover a change in tho Colonel since Walßh's testimony. A well-organised plot among the negroes of (Jhoctaw Couuty, Alabama, to murder all tbe whi:e inhabitants, has been discoveied. and the ringleader was lynched.

Atroghibs of the War in Pebu,

New York, August 14th.—Advices from Panama, dated the sth lnst., have the fol lowing : News from Pciu states that the war is Becoming one of extermination, The ex cesses of (he Chilian troops iv the interior have excited the populace, who are rising against the troops. l'his news causes a profound sensation in Chili- A public meeting was held, at which the orators used the most violent language, and demanded that the army should at once march agaiust Arequipa. A committee was formed, which offered to raise 10,000 tueu for the purpose, and furnish fund*, if necessary. The Chilian military autho rities, however, .desire the' withdrawal of the troops in the interior of Peru to Lima. Three thousand five hundred men hive left Valparaiso for Peru. It is said the Lima garrison will be increased from 3,000 to 11,000 men, and that no detachment will be kept in the interior in the future, -'■

Advices from Panama, of July 29th say —The Chilian garrison, 74 strong, at Con ception, in tho Junin valley, was massacred by the inhabitants. The s -ldiers ill-treated some women; hence tbe action of tho I populace.

Russia.— War Preparations — 4 Conflict with Enyland Desired. New Yohk, August 9.—A special has the following : —London, August 9.—lt j, admitted iv political circles that Russia is making expensive war preparations. Troops have been hurried down towards the Can casus, where it is said that 200,000 men are now collected, with all their stores and munitions of war ready for a descent upon tha Bosphorm, should the opportunity offer. It is said that the delay in England iv forwarding her a'rmv to Egypt lias been caused by th» I knowledge of these facts, and the calling out of English reserves and the ac. ceptancu of the services of some of the volunteer artillery, are due to that know, ledge. The internal state of Russia is SU ch that any change would be for the better, Not only are the people discontented but among the upper classes there is con! siderable hostility to the present Czar. Under these circumstances the Emperor turug toward foreign affairs with the expectation that a war with England, which would be very popular, would unite all tho Russian classes against the common enemy. The only obstacle to war is the attitude of Ger many. Count Bismarck is said to give his unswerving support to Gladstone's Eastern policy, and in the event of a. general Euro, pean war, Germauy would be assisted both by Austria and May.

A Fatal Ride.— A Runaway Train in the Pennsylvania Coal Regions.

The terrible accident on tho Cranberry Coil Koad, at the Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Western junction, on Friday, wit remark" able in many respects. Thp train, when made up ready to tun down into the city consisted of seventeen flat cur«, all coal lade«. Kngineer George Wright had charge of the engine, David Morgan was conduc tor, and B. McLain fireman, Two lads named Aiken and Latshaw were stationed in the middle of the train, and a number of men and boys were on the last car. All the brakes were set tightly when the train drew away ftom tbe pit. a quarter of a mile distant it entered upon the steep grade, and here all control of the train was lost. From that moment until the hind car jumped the track, two miles above the city, and was smashed into kied ling wood, the spned gradually increased, and at that time it had attained a frightful velocity. How terrible must have been the force of the cars is plain to be seen. The trees aud earth are torn up, and the cirs, coal and all, seem to have made a. clean jump of thiity or forty feet, and alighted among the trees. It was here that the greatest loss of life occurred. Two were kilied outright, one died shortly afterward on the spot, while some ten or a dozen others were bruistd and mangled in a terrible manner, and a number of them have since died. On down, for almost a mile, the nubing train keps the trade, though in many places where there are Blight curves the ties are moved several inches from their former position, indicating how terrible rnu»t have been the Etrain upon the iteel rails. At this point, where another short curve occurs, just outside tbe city litnitp, the force of the train bent the rails and made them curve just the reverse of what they were. Ten rods below the spot a switch was reached, and the engine and all the cars, excepting the last two, passed • afely over. These latter left the track a rod or so above the switch, and tore up tho ties and_ broke the rails like pipe stems. From this down to the switch the rails are warped, and in some places large pieces are cut *ut of them, as if with a pharp kuifo, aud the ties are bruised and splintered. At the point where tbe remaining cars left the track the wreck ytm piled high in a con fused mass, the track and ties being torn up and all semblance of a railroad dea iroyed. Seven persons wore killed out right and a dozen or more injured, It is calculated tkat the train attained a speed of seventy-five to eighty miles an hour, and the terror-stricken men aboard were compelled to lie il»t upon the coal in order to keep from being blown off, only to ba dashed to pieces at the foot ot the steep descent,- "Boston Herald."

'The Dethroned Zulu King,

New Yore, Aug. 13th.—The "Herald's" l ondon special says : London has a lion in tho portly cx-Kiag of the Zu'us, who is living quietly i a Milbuiy Koad; too quietly, indeed, tor the mob which patiently watches the house from morning to night, aod la traasionally rewarded by the glimpse of a Mack face at the window. It is curious to read the difl'eront opinions on Cetewayo's advent. "Truth," for instance, says: "He has como to plead to the Queen for restoration to hia Zulu Kingdom. It is touching t» read of his cagerntsa during tho voyage to reach bis destination. There is some* thing truly pathetic in the spectacle of a dethroned monarch making a pilgrimage to the land of his conquerer. Toe " World," on the other tand, speaka of him as "a gormandizing black savage, who cost us many of. the flower of our youth, thousands of lives and millions of money," aod thinks that the manner of his . reception by the British public is diegust. ing. "He had scarcely landed," it says, "before a young lady presented him with a valuable locket, and all Southampton was wanting to clasp his enormous paw," London, August 13th —Cctewayo's ill ness, which is rather eorious, is attributed to a sudden fall in the temperature. Thoagh ho eats three pounds of beef daily, yet he oanuot stand cold. His preseioe in London has given a great impetus to tho demand for hia restoration. Florence Dixie make a hysterical appeal to Mr Gladstone. Public feeling favours his restoration under two or more residents, the only serious objections coming from Dunn and two other chiefs.

A. Railroad Disaster,—Seven Lives Lost and Sixty Cars Des troyed by Fire.

Chicago, August 1. — A special from South Bend, Ind, to tho " Evening Jour nal " says : Two freight trains came into col'ision on the Lake Shore Hailroad just west of ihis city this morning. The carsto the number ot sixty were piled upon the engine, and, taking fire, burned up. The engineers were buried under the debris, but were rescued before tbo flames reached them. There were some tramps on the train, and four of them insi-t that seven of their com rades are in the burning rnas^. The loss is, estimated at $150,000, The smash-up' seems to have bean due to criminal careless ness.

The " Inter-Ocean's " South Bend special says that the accident was owing to tho failure to deliver the train dispatcher's orders to the east-bound train to side-track at Palmer. Both trains were running forty miles an hour, through, a heavy fog. Charles Stanton and William Herring, the two engineers, both have broken logs and in ternal injuries, and the lornier had an arm literally cooked by the steam. The cries of tramps confined in a burning box car were agonising in tho extreme, but the neighbouring farmers who gathered at the spot could do nothing, and they perished miserably.

Chicago, August 2,-Tho latest details from the Lake Shore and Miahigan Soathera Kailro«d collision at Snuth Bond place the loss to the company at §150,000, and say that it m&y reach B'WO.OOO. It seems tbat the accident was wholly due to incompe tency and pross carelessness on the part of the employ da of the company. Both trains were at full speed, without the assurance of a clear track and in the midst of a dense fog, when the collision occurred. The half a-dozen or moro bodies which were buried in the wreck are not yet recovered, and there is f ; rcat delay to business, Tho engines are demolished, and the entire mass of cars and v.aluablo merchandise aio destroyed.

The inspection parade of No. 3 Company, A.H.V., will be held in the ddl shed this evening, instead of on Friday aa erroneously advertised in our Saturday's issue.

Bopes arc now entertained of the recovery of the carter, Bird, who was run over by a haded dray in- Princes-street last week. A similar ciss happened at the Thames some time ago, a member of the Thames Naval Bijgade, named Wilson, fell under the wheel of a 24-pounder howitzer. Tho wh*le weight, which could not have been less than a ton and a half, passed over his chest. He is now well and as strong as ever.

The following is the substance of a reso lutioß passed unanimously at a meeting ot the Oevonport District Board, on Saturday last:—" That from this date the Board will not recognise nor spend any money in the formation or repair of any new roadway that may be laid off in the district, of a less width than fifty feet." A notice to that effect appears in our advertising columns.
