The coronation of the Czar has Tjeen cc e brated in Moscow with great pomp, and without any public disturbance. Ex traordinary preparations had been taken to prevent outrage, but whether relying on the perfection of these measures,' or secure in the conviction that the Nihilist con spiracy had been rooted out, the Czar appears to have driven through the streets without escort, and manifested other un wonted sign? of confidence in his personal security. An Atlantic despatch, to band by the last mail, describes the elaborate preparations that were made to thwart the machinations of the Nihilists. The Ministry of the Interior, the Director of Police, and the General of the Army, enlisted 40,000 men from the ranks of the moujlok* and promoted them to those of the nobility. These men were to be clothed in tbe garb worn by private citizens, and stationed on the day of the coronation between the palace of Fetrowski and the Kremlin, mingling with the crowds, and appearing as mere lookers on. All wore to be armed, have the password, and be organ ised to act in a body against the Nihilists or other disturbers of the ceremonies. Moreover in each house in Moscow, one person, who was not the usual janitor, bad been designated by the police to be held responsible for the doings of the inhabitants; of such house. These preparations were expected to constitute a strict guard ever the whole population of the city. The persons singled out by the police to dp guard duty, were as sa many hostages in tbe hands of the authorities, their own lives and liberty de pending on the good behaviour of every inhabitant in each house.

Thouph the Kussiaa conspirators, pon eession sympathisers among the inner ranks of the Koyal household, have on former occasions shewn their ability to defeat the moat elaborate precautions, the system of guards described above, exercising an espionage over the entire population, would be difficult to evade, and some ot the Emperor's sangfroid may have arisen from the Knowledge that though ostensibly pass ing through the streets without escort, the thoroughfares were in reality lined with armed guards in mufti, each of whom knew that his neighbour was ready to shoot him down at I the (lightest manifestation of evil intention. Bat it is also probable that the severe repressive measures recently adopted throughout the Empire, the arrests and banishment-without trial, and ruthless pri vate torture, have removed by imprison ment, or driven into foreign exile, most of the leaders of the revolutionary agitation. But in this age, a people cannot be held in perpetual and unresisting bondage by a tyrannical Government, however despotic, as the lamentable end af the late Czar should have taught his successor, and therefore the surprise and regret expressed In Europe that the Czar's manifesto makes no refer ence .to political reforms, will bo generally reciprocated in these colouies where the people are animated by a genuine love of liberty. Though shocked by the violent acts through the instrumentality ot which Russian revolutionists aeek to overturn the existing order of things, it is undeniable that the existence of a vast despotism in Europe is ar anomaly which robs all who are concerned In upholding it ot the sym pathy >of men enjoying the blessings of free political institutions. Surrounded by udvisera whose Interests are wedded to the maintenance of the ttatu quo, the Czar has committed a blunder and a wrong which may* cost him, his life. ; Tne announcement that Russian glory : and Empire in "complete may, possibly, be interpreted as signifying that "the Czar will devote himself ex clusively to the work of improving the con dition of bis Empire; but it is more probably intended merely as a pacificatory.assurance to those foreign' potentates represented at the coronation; who have' manifested' un easiness at the persistence of Russian ag gression,''and tie value of which may, fairly be estimated by the many similar promises that have been made and broken .by the Czar's predecessors.

Sir George Grey came up from tneKawau yesterday. Itj is probable he will deliver an address before going to Wellington, but whether the subject selected will be political or a popular social topic-free public libraries—in the establishment of which Sir George takes a deep personal interest, does not seem to hare been yet decided.

An aged pensioner, Martin O'Dwyer, was sent to prison for three months under the Vagrancy Act. O'Dwyer is in regular re ceipt of a pension for bis military cervices, but his pension is always exhausted before pension day; in his own words, "swallowed beforehand." The old man is pa3t work, and has the reputation of being a petty thief. He has no home, but sleeps in any sbed into which he can find an entrance. He was in the Old People's Refuge, but, missing big regular potations, he escaped from that hospitable roof. The Bench w>re disposed to treat the old man leniently io spite of bis numerous recorded offences. Serjeant Gamble, however, said it would be useless ; O'Dwyer v,as essentially a " loafer," and preferred Mount Eden to any other institution.

An interesting haudball contest took place at Gleeson's court yesterday between McAuliffe (of Timaru) und Bogan, a well known local player. The Southerner, who won easily, showed magnificent play. At the conclusion of the match, Sweeney and Murphy challenged McAnliii'e and uogan to play a match for £25, £50, or £100 a side. Me Auliffo was, however, compelled to decline the challenge, as he had arranged to leave for the South by the s.s. Wai. horn to-day. It is probable, however, that a match will be made, to take place about three months heroe. McAulfffe, who, be sides being a crack handball player, is one of the host all-round athletes in the colony, issued a challenge to jump any man in Auckland hop, step, and jump, three stand ing jumps, and running wide jump. His best public record for the latter is 22 feet 6 inches.

The prizes won at the late Coursing Club meeting, amounting in all to between £70 and £80, will be paid over at tuo Albert Hotel to-morrow evening at 7.30 o'clock, To the Editor: Sir,—l quite agree with the remarks made by Mr Morrin at the late meeting of the Harbour Board. There is certainly a great and urgent need of a thorough reformation In the Auckland pilot service. However, I do not wish to make any comments upon the meeting of the above service, but to contradict a statement of the Chairman of tbe abive-named B?ard. He is reported to have said that for many years past no ship entering this port has failed to secure the services of a pilot, Tbis is certainly a false statement. In March, 1879, I held the position of mate on board the brigantine James A. Stuart, commanded by Captain Berry. la order to obtain the services of a pilot, we used the proper signals and burnt blue lights from 7 till 11 o'clock, hut notwithstanding this we failed to attract the notice of the pilot, and we had to bring the brigantine into, port with out any assistance. I may also state that Captain Berry was a • complete stranger to this port, he never haying visited this place, before, and I had been absent for 14 years, Hoping you will insert this in the cause of truth and justice,; I am, &c, W, D., Jfree'. man's 'fay, ■..-«..

A N IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.

The Auckland Fibre Company,

The annual meeting of this company was held at noon to-day in the works, Mr B. C. Barstow presiding. The following report, which gives an interesting account of the commencement and progress of the indus try, was read by Mr William Johnston, the manager :—" Yonr directors have the pleasure of reporting that since last meeting the works bave been started, and are now almost completed. Operations were begun early in August, but tho plant ordered from England, and which should have been here at that time, did not arrive till December, and it was the middle of January before it was erected and running. This delay, while eerions by affecting tho geooral result, was nevertheless to our ad vantage, because the party from whom the machinery was ordered were making some improvements in the system, and delayed the execution of our order, so that wo might bave the fall benefit of them. We me ;>lad to' say the expectations thus raised* have been fully realised. It is gratifying to your directors to be able to report that, the quality of our manu factures has nivin great satisfaction. The 20 tons of binder twine which we were able to produce in time for the late harvest, went chiefly to Canterbury, where the test of actual use has pronounced in favour of it. The quality of the rope has been equally satisfactory, and has practically shut out all importation. In addition to the local demand, it has been going regularly to the s-outh, and our counectiou there is extend ing. To meet this increasing demand, your dlrestora have been compelled to add to the means of production. The machinery ordered is now on the way out, and, should nothing untoward arise, wo expect to have , a portion of it running in July, and remainder by the end of August. No additional outlay for buildings! power, or laying up machinery is required, the present being sufficient; hence, while the requirements of the trade will be met, the fixed expenses and changes on the general production will be reduced, und the per centage of profit relatively in creased. When the whole of the plant is in work, the turn-off will he about as fol lows :—6 or 7 tons rope j3or 4 tons binder twine ; 14 ton store twino and matting per week, or 2} or 3 tons more than the present production amounts to, As the demand tor this flax matting increases, we are in a position to meet it, as the only expenditure required to double our production is the cost of a loom, having all the necessary preparing for two. The hauling-out machinery is fitted to make rope from Jin. to 24in. circumference. The largest yet made has been 14^in. by 800 feet in length. This was made for one of our local mining companies, wuo, we are pleased to ray, are lending their aid to local industry by taking their supply of flat ropes also from us. These we have mado in breadth from 3 to 8 inches, and in length from 150 to 700 feet. In establish ing any new industry, very many and great difficulties present themselves, not the li'ast being that of labour, and more parti cularly wneu its details are of a complex and complicated character, aud this one haa not been an exception to the role. The vory few skilled operatives which were available rendered the training of workets troublesome and laborious, but this has been more largely overcome, so that in retpeot to labour tho concern is in a fairly good condition. To bring the account down to the date fixed for your annual meeting, stock has been taken, and the books closed oa 30 v April. The gross profit for tha short time the work* h*ve been in operation is £997 16s 6s, off which we have deducted £259 13a 4d for insurance, £225 on account of preliminary expenses, and£49 ISsof commission, leaving a net profit of £463 5s 2d which we propose to carry forward to credit of profit and loss account. This must bo considered a very satisfactory state of thinga, and gives certain evidence of the profitable uature of the undertaking when regard is given to the great and unavoidable expense con sequent on tho training oi hands, tho small production till middle of January, and the fact that oar supplies of Manila hemp bad to be drawn from the London market at a coat of £5 per ton more than on direct importation, stands. We have recently landed a ca'go ot 180 tons from Manila direct, and should'say that we have arranged for ship room, whereby our requirements wilt be itiefj in such a manner aa will relieve us from carrying so heavy a stock in tho future. The works will co?t, when completed, about £23,250, or, say, £5,000 more than our present subscribed capital. Your directors jdo not think it ad visable to issue more than 20,000 shares, 18,146 of which are already .taken up ; but to borrow tha amount necessary to carry en the concern, believing that in a comparatively short time they will ba in a position to pay some off, out of undivided profits, and so add to the valne of the stock.

CORONATION OF THE CZAR.

Imposing Ceremony at Moscow.

Popular and Loyal Demonstra tions.

fKBUTKK'S CABLEGRAMS,]

MOSCOW, May 27. Thb coronation of the Czar was celebrated here to-day with great ceremony at the Cathedral of the Assumption, in the pre sence of a large and brilliant assembly of representatives from European and Foreign Courts. The spectacle was one of extreme magnificence, and nothing occurred to mar its impressiveness.

The Imperial rescript issued by His Majesty on the occasion declares that the power and glory of the Russian .Empire are complete, and repudiates the idea ot aggrandisement by military conquest.

Further Particulars.

MOSCOW, May 28,

The coronation took place at the Church of the Assumption, within the precincts o( the Kremlin, and in accordance with the programme previously announced. The ceremony passed off with the greatest eclat and success, in the presence of one of the moat brilliant assemblies ever seen, in ducing Princes, Ambassadors, and dis tinguished foreigners of all nationa. Among those who witnessed the ceremony were the Duke of Jfdinburgb, M. Waddington, and Lord Wolseley. The ceremony was throughout in strict accordance with ancient custom, the met ropolitan of Moscow, and the elder and high dignitaries of the Ureek Church tak ing a prominent part in the rito.

Decorations and Illuminations.

The city was en fete, magnificently decor ated with flags and banners, and festivities were organised in all parts. In the evening there was a general illu nation, the electric light being displayed from the Kremlin and other points, 'lhe streets were thronged with thousands of enthusiastic spectators, During the evening His Majesty drove through the streets without an escort. The Cear was everywhere received with the greatest enthusiasm.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

[SPECIAL TO PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

LONDON, May 27. ' Tbo coronation procession from < the Kremlin Palace to tbe cathedral was an immeme and grand one, The fCruperor rode under a canopy upheld by 32 generals, surrounded by Asiatic princes, civil -and military officers, and delegates from all parts of the Empire. He wasdressed in tbe uniform of a colonel of the Imperial Guard. Tbe Empress wore the national costume profusely bedizened with diamonds. The elaborate ceremonies attendant on the coronation were performed by the Metropolitans of Moscow, Novgorod, and Kioff. Their Imperial Majesties were keated on thrones of ivory and silver, in the centre of the cathedral, and were Bur rounded by the Imperial and Foreign Princes, and the special Ambaeiadora from foreign countries with their suites. The Czar maintained a grave and dig nified attitude throughout tbe ceremony, while that of the Empress was simple and touching. The conclusion of the ceremony waa an nounced by prolonged. salutes and peals from the bells of the Kremlin and all the churches of Moscow. Tbe feelings of the immeme multitude assembled outside were expressed by prolonged and hearty cheer ing. The Czar, after being annotated, par took of the Holy Communion, and their Majesties tbsn rejoined the procession, and returned to the palace, concluding a rtacle unparalleled for its richness and rsity, A magnificent State banquet followed.

The absence of any political concession in She Czar's coronation manifesto has ex cited surprise throughout Europe, A special convoy from the King of the Sandwich Islands attended the coronation.

Why the Coronation was Delayed.

Many reatona have been assigned for the repeated postponement of tbe ceronioav, but there is no doubt that the real motive (or this was the respect the present Czar has for the memory oi his late father, In, hutsia a Czar is not a Czar until he is crowned. He is, in every respect, nothing more nor lea? than an heir apparent, having far fewer political rights tban the bulk ot his subjects. He cannot siun a treaty of peace nor proclaim war, nor can, he confer the grand cordon of any of the decorations. He is, so to say, under a regency ot his Ministers, and do State document would be valid unless it were countersigned by two Ministers of State. It is not to be wondered at, under these circumstances, that the majority of Czars bave hastened to free themselves trom thii state ot affairs by being promptly crowned and assuming the reins of the State Indeed, it is very seldom that more than two monthi have been allowed to elapse be tween tbe death of one Czar and the corona tion of another. The Czar, during his po litical minority—for tbe condition of an un crowned Czar can hardly be otherwise de fined —is"not only at a disadvantage in life, but in death alto, as, should he die during this period, he would not receive the burial due to a crowned and anointed Czar. In stead of bis remains being placed In the mat)Boleum of toe citadel of St. Petersburg, they would be buried in any ordinary burialtgroand of the city. Peter 111 and others were thus interred, for, notwith standing tbeir being Kmperors, they were uncrowned. In caiesof the throne being; dis puted, or of critical political times, either internally or externally, or where the throne has been usurped, as it wan by Catherine, no time whatever has been lost, ' We know that the moment Peter expired Catherine, hastened at full speed to Moscow ami wan crowned as soon as ever she set foot in the town, Royal and other Spectators. Invitations to the ceremony were issued to nearly all the Crown Princes of Europe, and to many other distinguished persons. X In general, the invitation was accepted, though for- obvious reasons the Crown Princes did not attend. Among the Foreign Courts specially represented, were:-Gnat Britlan, by the* "Duke, of jfdiubnrgh; Piursia, by Prince Albrecht; Austria, by the Archduke Charles Louis; saxony, by Prince George of Schonbeig- Waldenbarg, the King's adjutant-general; Bavaria, by Prince Amulph, the King's cousin; Wurtemberg, by Duke.Herman, of Saxe-Weimar, the King's brother-in-law; Hesse-Darmstadt, by Prince Henry, the Grand Duke's brother, and Prince Alexander, the Czarina's undo; Baden, by Prince William; Denmark, by Prince Valdemar and Prince William ot Holstoin ; Spain, by the Duke of Montpen sier; Persia, by the Shah's brother, lzzed daule Abdussarned; Bulgaria and Mon tenegro, by their own reigning princes, Alexander ana Nicholas; and the French Kepubiio, by M. Waddiugton. Of course the various foreign Bmbisries we alto pre sent. In uccorduncj with custom, Car dinal Vatinutelli, as representing the Vati can, was to arriv« one day after the corona tion, to present to the Emperor the con gratulations of the Pope. Details of the Ceremony. Instead of repeating, as our contemporary does, the stale description of the corona tion of Alexander 11. in 1856, we are enabled to give full particulars compiled from the programme prepared for the ceremony of Sabbath last, and which our cable message states was adhered to. Preparations for the Event. It ia generally admitted that the Russiani coronation observance is the most magnifioient ceremony of the kind of the present sge, Tbe invitations to foreign courts ensure the attendance of a large and brilliant assemblage, while the fact that Kussian princes and Russian subjects are commanded to be prcont at the ceremony, swells the proportions ot the crowd of spectators. The prepara tions at Moscow are at the expense of tbe State, and are on such a scale of roagnifi (Concluded on our Fourth Page.)
