Irish Affairs.

(Continued from page three.)

Bernard O'Shaughnessy has resigned his seat in the House of Commons for Limerick to take a Government office.

It was recently announced in London that alarming telegrams in reference to a revival of the Irish conspiracy had been received

The evidence adduced at the examination of Dr. and Patrick Connolly, and their sister Catharine, on Aug. 31, charged with complicity in a murder conspiracy, indi cates that the conspiracy was formed to accomplish a private and not an agrarian purpose, as was supposed. A witness, Dineen, swore that Dr. Connolly forged the name of John-Carroll to the will by which Carroll's property was to be left to Con nolly. Dineen was to murder Carroll, and to receive £50 from the sum expected to be realised from tho letter's property. The parties were arrested' at BrufF, County Limerick. Tho National Land League met in Dublin on Aug. 29. Parnell, Davit., and Sexton were present. The former, in his speech, referred to tho success of the Irish members of Parliament to promote the Labour' Tramways, and Emigration Acts, and said he believed the day was near when the Irish would gain the full programme of measures for which the League had beon formed. Parnell thanked the Irishmen of Australia and America for their support in the causo of progress in Ireland, which, he said, had beon most encouraging. The bulk of the English members of Parliament, he stated, conceded that Home Rule was neces sary in Ireland. He also added that he had every hopotheemigrationschcmewouldfirove successful. This would enable tho people to keep their promise that they would never again appeal to America for aid against famine. Davitt, in his speech, said that six thousand Irish householders had been de prived of their homes within the quarter ending Ist of July. Ho urged tho people to be resolute, calm, and not lose their self control.

Despatch from Liverpool, August 29th, says: "In tho examination of James MeDermott, who is supposed to be con nected with the dynamite conspiracy, it is stated cards were found on the prisoner signed by Stevens and O'Donovan Rossa. On tho latter's card the following was written: ' Tell the boys that I will do my utmost to help to destroy the common enemy.'" The Irish National League demonstration was held at Waterford on September 9th, in which several well-known agitators took part. Michael Davitt said the object of tho League was to achieve national inde pendence for Ireland. At a banquet in the evening, Richard Power, M.P. for Water ford, replying to the toast, "Ireland as a Nation, described England as a nation in sulted by France, hated by Europe, and harrassed and embarrassed by Ireland. A cablegram states that the League has arranged the platform of its campaign for the coming autumn and winter, and there are, consequently, to be successive demon strations at Waterford, Mallow, Carrick-on- Shannon, Cork, 'Ennis, Belfast, Mullingar, Tipjierary, and other central cities. Dillon has postponed his journey to the United States, in order to attend tho Tipperary meeting. A despatch from Dublin, September 3, says the recent storms had almost totally destroyed tho grain and other crops in the South of Ireland. Tho authorities fear a renewal of the recent agitation, owing to the distress consequent on the loss of crops. Tho Boards of Guardians throughout Ireland demand the amendment of the Land Act.

Michael Davitt was reported ill at Dublin on September 12 with inflammation of the lungs. All his engagements to speak at the National League meetings in various parts of Ireland are cancelled in con sequence. Parnell has paid off the mortgage on his estate, amounting to f 13,000, from the proceeds of the Parnell Testimonial Fund. James MeDermott, the Irish-American, under examination by the Liverpool authori ties os having been connected with the dynamite conspirators, was discharged on the 18th for want of evidence.

Tho Lord Lieutenant issued an order on the 18th abolishing the office of special resi dent magistrate for Dublin, and appointing four divisional magistrates, who will direct the movements of resident magistrates and tho police

Marine Disasters.

At three o'clock on tho morning of August •20th, the French steamer St. Germain, from Havre for Now York, and the steamer from tho East, by the way of Suez Canal, collided off tho Eddystono Lighthouse. The Woodburn immediately sank, andcighteenof her crew weredrowned. Tho St. Germain, in a disabled condition, arrived at Plymouth and landed the passen gers saved from the AVoodburn. It was a line starlight night, and tho sea was calm at tho timo of tho collision. The Woodburn was in tow of tho tug-boat Reavery at the timo, and the St. Germain's helm was ported in ordor that tho steamer might go by tho tugboat's stern. The officers of tne French steamor had no idea there was a ship in lead; but the tugboat captain states that lie had two bright lights at tho tug's mast head—a clear indication that she had a vessel in tow.

The'steamer Palermo, from Hamburg to London, collided off Brest with the steamer Rivoli, August 26th, and sunk her; five persons drowned. The Rivoli was bound from Callao to Middleborough. The British barquo G. I. Jones, from Bull River, S.C., for Falmouth, with a cargo of phosphate, was totally wrecked off Pen zance September 1. Two of the crew were saved and eleven drowned.

The steamship Ludwlg, 60 days out from Antwerp for Montreal, on September 2, has been given up by the owners. There were 70 persons on board, 24 of whom were passengers,

Tho steamer George started from Arch angel, August 28, to seek the Dutch Polar vessel Varna, for the discovery of which £2,000 is offered.

Great anxiety had been felt at tho Hague, Sopt. 5, regarding the fato of the Neder land Steamship Co.'s mail steamer Prince Frederick, which was belloved to be in the Straits of Sunda at the time of the volcanic eruption, but on Sopt. 13. hor arrival at Aden was reported. A Norwegian vessel was sunk In tho English Channel on the 13th September by a collision. Twelve persons were drowned, The English barque Britannia was wrecked pff the Nova Scotia Coast on Mon day, Sept. 17. The captain, Alfred Gasston, who arrived at Halifax two days after, told a fearful tale of suffering, Tne crew took to a small raft, on which they had hardly got footing when a heavy sea washed off all but tho Captain and eight men, Five others were washed off the night following, leaving only four survivors, who were rescued by aJboat from the shore. Fourteen perished, including tho wife and four child ren of Captain Gasston, All the last were natives of England,

Foot-and-Mouth Disease in England.

A letter from London, under date Sept. 16th, published in Chicago, says:—The foot-and-mouth disease is reported spread ing rapidly in Bedfordshire. The infection has appeared in nearly every parish in Woburn police district, but as yet, though the park herds are surrounded by disease, tho ducal estate lias not been invaded. Aboutone hundred head of cattle are already infected in this division besides several herds of sheep. Thirty fresh outbreaks of the disease reported to tho Spalding local authorities yesterday morning, making a total of 80 infected places in tho district. Peterborough, Spilsby, Horncastle, and Grantham, are all afraid. On the Norfolk pastures, the disease is reported spreading. It is not traceable to sales or movements of cattle. There are now 248 seats of disease in tho county. For tho week ending Ist September, 1,043 cattle, 3,093 sheep, and 49 liogs, are roturned as infected. A despatch on the 20th says the disease threatens ruin of tens of thousands of farmers. It now extends from Cheshire across chuntry to Lincolnshire, and along the eastern and southern coast, as far as Devonshire. Graziers and farmers are panic-6tricken.

The South American Situation.

Tho New York "Herald" of September 19, referring to the letter of a correspondent at Lima, says editorially: "From some of tho statements found in the letter regard ing the political situation in the West Coast of South America, it will be assumed that Chili was not very sorry when the occasion for war presented itself. She wants Bolivia; so does Brazil and the Argentine Republic; but Chili is on the ground, and looking out :for her interests with a great army, and the chance to divide up a country as large as France, Spain, and Italy combined in too delightful to be resisted. Like almost everything that happens in South America, beforo the war began the operations by which this grand partition was to be effected occa sionally lagged, but from our corres pondent's letter it is evident that tho pur pose has not been abandoned," .

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE.

The monthly meeting of the Auckland Institute was held last evening, Mr E. A. Mackechnie presiding. Mr J. Pickering, Auckland, was elected a new member, and the following lißt of donations to the Library and Museum was read :—Bramall'a " Mineral Resources of New Zealand," the author; American weather reports and charts, Consul G. W. Griffin ; new map of Auckland, MrS. Percy Smith; egg of kiwi, Mr A. Wellby; specimen of swamp crake, Mr J. Symons; specimens of hepialus viresceus, Fijian lizard, Mr A. Martin ; four large Roman Amphora, Mr J.T. Mackelvie; Maori carved stone sinker, Captain Hugh Stewart; old gun barrel picked up on too siteof theWairauraassacre(lß43),MrA.W, Parker ; large block of pumice from Lake Taupo, Mr I. Marchesscau; specimen of sulphur from Rotorua, Mr G. M. Main; encrustations from the Rotorua Lake District, Mrs J. S. Macfarlane. Coleoptera. — A paper by Captain Broun described 19 species of New Zealand coleoptera. Polynesia. — A map, illustrative of a paper read at last meeting on Lord Howe's Group by Mr Moore, was exhibited by Mr Campbell. He pointed out. that the Papuan type, or woolly-haired races, had migrated in a particular direction; that the Malay, cr" metal working " race, wero encroaching on the Polynesians, and cited an opinion of Professor Haeckel that there was at one time a large area of land which he called " Amuria " that had submerged, and tlie Andaman Islands were remnants of this submerged land. He believed that the hypothesis of Professor Haeckel, that j there was a now submerged land called " Amuria," had beon exploded.

The Spell of the Supernatural.—An oxcellent paper on this subject was read by Mr E. A. Mackechnie, but pressure of space precludes any lengthy abstract. The speaker pointed out that in all ages of tha world there had been a tendency to an' unreasoning credulity, and witchcraft necromancy, and in later times clairvoyanco mesmerism afforded abundant proof of tho i delusion to which the human mind was sub ject. He then proceeded to referto thenarnw boundary between sanity and insanity, and minds which indulged in ideal realisations of spiritual possibilities occupied a placo very near the debateable, if they dia not overstep it. There was reason to believe that such minds are either ill-constituted, or imperfectly constituted, or that they were enfeebled by disease, or that by con stant indulgence in hallucination they had become so degenerated that they would bo prepared, on but very slight, certainly upou insufficient evidence, to believe In Mumbo- Jumbo, or the fetish of the African, and that when a mind had descended to this level it was scarcely ever possible to eman cipate it from " the spell of the super* natural."—A lengthy discussion followed.

Darlinghurst, August 17, 1883.—Messrs Publishers' Sydnoy Mail/—Dear Sirs,—lt gives mo great pleasure to say in the most unqualified manner that I have found St. Jacobs Oil tho bost preparation for Rheumat ism, Gout, and other pains, that I havo used or known. A member of my family was suffering j from a severe attack of rheumatic gout, both in. the hands and foot. The pain was most excru ciating. I suggested her using St Jacobs Oil, and am pleased to say the result was of a most satisfactory character. After one or two applications tho pain entirely left, and up to the present have had no return of the trouble. I look on St Jacobs Oil as a universal panacea for all kinds of aches and pains. I have advised many of my personal friends to give it a trial, and havo heard from them that nothing they had over used did them so much good. It is, without doubt, the only Household Romcdy or modern times, and I shall always keop a bottle I within reach.—l remain, dear Sirs, yours faith fully, J. R. Drewett."

Tea Merchants. (i BNDIA AND CHINA. TEA E WAREHOUSE," No. 95. Victoria-street. In tho matter of TEA, Queen-street is not Auckland. It may suit the few to havo it thought so, but a discriminating public havo determined Otherwise. AUCKLAND, in fact, is becoming a large City, and narrow ideas Won't do. The undersigned cannot boast of having made a TEA TRADE by going, mendi cant fashion, from door to door, encouraging people of limited means to get unnecessarily into debt, but with steady purpose has sought to serve the public need in supplying a GENUINE ARTICLE at REASONABLE RATES. The singular success that has attended this unob trusive way of carrying on business (in a second-rate street) is a source of unfeigned satisfaction. The fact of havineimported FIFTY THREE TONS OF TEA (Ship's Measurement) during the last 9 months speaks sufficiently of fmblic appreciation. The undersigned has en urgod his promises, and facilities for a still greater output. Not being ablo to get it into, has had made in the building a verylarge TEA BLENDER, so that in future he trusts to avoid tho occasional irregularities of flavour observ able in the past. F. W. sincerely thanks his customers in all parts of the Province, and assureß them no elt'ort will be spared to satisfy evory legitimate demand. TEA PRICES" CURRENT: " VERY RICH DEEP BROWN TEA, Per 3/— Pound. " FAMILY MIXTURE," Per 2/6 Pound. " TEA EXTRAORDINARY, Per 2/- Pound. "DARJEELINGFLAVOURED MIXTURE,' Per 1/8 Pound.
