The Victorian Government and the Irish Informers.

London, October 10. Professor Dicey publishes another letter to the "Times" in reply to that of Mr Murray Smith in relation to the refusal of tho Victorian _ Gov ernment to allow the disembarkation of the Irish informers. Professor Dicey re plies at length to the arguments brought forward, by Mr Smith on behalf of the Go vernment, and asserts that he retains the views previously expressed by him on the subject. He repeats that the Victorian Government have placed themselves in a serious position by their action, and adds that to protect them from consequences it will be necessary for the Imperial Government to pass an act of indemnity. The " Times " discusses the subject in a leading article, and joins with Professor Dicey in condemning the Vic torian Government for their rejection of the informers. It asserts that the high-handed action of Mr Service will seriously affect the Imperial Government in carrying out their Irish policy, as it will increaso the difficulty of punishing crime in Ireland. The " Times " this morning discusses tho policy of the Victorian Coalition Ministry, expressing its warmest approbation of their determination to abolish political patron ago in the Government service. The Chinese Government refuse to rocogniee any treaties or convictions which may be entered into between France and the Black Flags in Tonquin.

Queensland, Fiji, and the Labour Trade

London, October 11

Lord Derby ha 3 officially directed the attention of the authorities of Queensland and Fiji to statements supplied to the " Age " by Mr Morrison on the subject of the native labour traffic.

An Admiral for the Australian Station,

An increase is about to be made in the number of ships on the Australian naval station, and Commodore Erskine, who is now in command of the station, will be superseded by an Admiral.

French Opinion of Commodore Erslcino. The "Temps," a Parisian journal, refer ring to the alleged insulting conduct of Commodore Erskine, Commander of the fleet on the Australian Naval Station, towards Captain McLeod, at New Hebrides, charac terised his behaviour as more arrogant than that of Admiral Pierr* towards Captain Johnston, of the Dryad, at Tamatave. An Imperial Bluebook issued yesterday confirms tho statement made by Lord Gran ville in the House of Lords some time ago, to the effect that both England and France would uphold the neutrality of the Now Hebrides, and that neither Power would seek to annex any territory. Kovolution In Hayti. A British Steamer Fired At. A revolution which originated recently among the black population of Port-au- Prince, the capital of Hayti, one of the largest islands of the West Indies has assumed alarming proportions. The revolutionists have destroyed Government buildings and seized on forts. They then proceeded to fire on a British steamer which was conveying tho British Consul and a number of Europeans refugees from the island.

SUPREME COURT.-In Banco.

Yesterday (Concluded),

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies,)

Stevens v. Darrow.—Motion for writ of injunction.—Mr E. Hesketh (who appeared to move for the writ) said that as the plain tiff had secured an extension of his caveat till January next, the purpose for which he wanted the writ was gained, and the motion would therefore do withdrawn.— W ithdrawa,accordingl y. Petition for Change of Trust.—Mr James Russell again brought up the peti tions respectively of Alex. Macdonald, James Rout, and Samuel Rout, and of Joseph Potter and Alex. Macdonald for authority under " The Leases and Sales of Settled Estate Act" andamoiidment thereof, to sell the Congregational Chapel and Sunday-school in High-street (as they are no longer used for the original purposes of tho trusts), and apply the proceeds to the foundation of a Congregational Church and Sunday-school at Mount Eden. —Mr Russell, in supporting the petitions, said that it seemed to him that both gifts (viz. of chapel and school) were of a charitable character and were to be dealt with as one trust which had lapsed. The Court had power to prevent their failing or reverting to the donor by undertaking to settle tho claim.—His Honor said that ho did not think these estates carao within tho scope of " Tho Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act" at all. A settled estate meant an estate limited in succession, but theso were not estases lim ited in succession. They constituted an ab solute and simple trust.—Mr Russell drew attention to tho preamble of the Act, and submitted that under all the circumstances of a suit where the purpose of tho trust (as in this case) was clear, His Honor could grant the prayer.—His Honor: Yes; but if I have not the power and yet make the order, is it of any good ? —After some further remarks, it was agreed to let the matter stand over for the present in order that the various points of law may be examined more closely.

MarshaixJand Others v. Batlkt and Another.—Motion for a decree.—Mr Tyler appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr Hesketh for the defendants. — The motion was brought as a consequence of the trial of the case at New Plymouth, where the jury found for the plaintiffs. Tho plaintiSs are Jane Marshall, of New Plymouth, and her children—James William Marshall, Grace Matthews, Robert James Matthews (husband of Grace Matthews), Gilford Marshall, Ada Marshall, Annis Mar shall, and Fred Marshall; and the defendants are William Bayley, of New Plymouth, and George Tate, farmer, of Waitara. According to the declaration, in 1871 James William Marshall, commission merchant, of New Plymouth, made a deed vesting in defen dants to hold in trust for his wife, after her death for himself, and after both their deaths for their children, a sum of £10,000; that this money was handed over to the defendants as trustees, and that they placed it in the hands of Mr Halse, after whose death there was found to be a deficiency of £450. It was therefore sought to recover this amount, together with arrears of interest and the cost of this suit. The plea on the other hand main tained that although the deed was made out for the purposes stated, the defendants never received a farthing of the money, but that Mrs Marshall herself, without asking their concurrence, went and placed it in Mr Halse's hands.—Mr Tyler asked for the de cree against the trustees on the ground that they had been guilty of wilful neglect and default in allowing the money to romain in Mr Halse's hands and control in face of their delegated authority, and that therefore they were personally liable to mako good the trust, and further, that the wife was not bound by any acquiescence in the depositing of the money with Mr Halse. —Mr Hesketh showed that, while the decree was moved for on the ground of the trustee's wilful neglect and default, that issue, although the most material one, had not been answered by tho jury at all. He also contested the allegation that the trustees hnd been guilty of wilful neglect and default, supporting his argument with copious citations from legal authorities and precedent cases.—His Honor remarked that the case was one of considerable difficulty, and thorefore reserved his decision.

This was all the business.

The N.Z. Rifle Association Meeting,

At the Drill-ahcd last evening, a meeting oft Volunteer officers was held for the purpose of discussing tho question of the New1! Zealand Rifle Association's meeting, which I is proposed to be held here in February.' Major Shepherd occupied the chair; and there were also present—Captains Payne, - Dignan, Isaacs, Mahon, and Lieutenant Parker. In the discussion which ensued, ;| mention was made of a telegram from m, Wellington complaining of tho lake- !| warmness of the Auckland Volunteers in 8 the proposed rifle meeting; but it was shown that the officers of the various com- ■ panics had been working hard in the matter; I they had visited Ellerslie Racecourse, saw I the Racing Club Committee, and had also I waited on Mr Hejd, lessee of One Tree:.; Hill (the Colonial Prize-firing, it will be re- 8 membered, was held there in 1869). Mr V Herd was willing to allow the firing at his B place if Dr. Campbell and Mr Hall had no i| objection. After further desultory conver- j-V; sation, the following resolution was carried: H —" As it appears to this meeting that no B steps have yet been taken by the local Sec- i retary to ensure the success of the meeting I of the New Zealand Rifle Association, about X to be held at Auckland, it is resolved that m Captains Dignan, Mahon, and Payne wait I on the local secretary (Mr E. Cooper), and 1 ask him if a meeting is to be called, and ' point out what arrangements are necessary : and what he required to be done on the ■ r part of the officers appointed as committee men by the Association."

The Hobson Company met for drill last I evening at the large hall, corner of Pitt and ■!{ ■':'■: Wellington-streets. There was a capital j| muster. Lieutenant Connolly was in com- ! mand, and put the Company through the I sword-bayonet exercise and marching drill, which was performed very creditably. At the Otago Rifle Association Meeting . held in the Garrison Hall, Dunedin, last week, the Chairman, Lieut-Colonel Stavely, , in addressing the meeting, said he hoped to ■; sco as many of the Otago crack shots as V could conveniently get away attend 1 the New Zealand Rifle Association Meeting at Auckland, and thus return the visit the Northern marksmen paid to Dunedin last § year. The expenses of the last Otago Rifle § Association Meeting amounted to £150, and i they have now a balance in hand of £47 10a. . At a parade of the Wellington Naval '- Artillery Volunteers on Tuesday last, * Captain Roberts and Lieutenant Potter, of the London Royal Irish Rifles, were present at the parade; and after it was over, Captain Roberta expressed himself highly pleased with the field-gun exercise, remark- - ■ ing that he never expected to witness such t.'l perfection in tho colony.

Colonial Firing.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Some time bock certain gentlemen in Auckland were placed upon the Council of the New Zealand Rifle Association for the ! purpose of getting them to carry out the | programme of the meeting in Auckland, since when they have made no sign, and last week word came from Wellington that. l •it was proposed there that, on account of the above apparent indifference, the meeting should be shifted to Wellington. This is rather rough on Auckland. Do ' the Wellington members of the Association pretend to think we are unable to carry out | the meeting, or that the means will be wanting for doing so? If so, they will, I trust, find that where the honour of Auck land is concerned every man will do his duty, some by the trouble they take, and some by the means they supply. But, sir, ' would it not be as well for the above gentle; men to make some public show in the shape of a local council, and through the Press-let us have a look at them and their doings, for I can never believe when the good name,, of Auckland is involved that they are doing! nothing.—l am, &c,

PARNELL BOROUGH COUNCIL.

The Council met at 7.30 last evening. Present: His Worship the Mayor, CM Winks, Mullins, Barber, McCabe.

Correspondence.—Letters were received 1 from B. McDonald, nightsoil contractor, asking the Council to advance £20 from a balance belonging to him held by tha Council, as he wished to purchase a new horse for the purpose of carrying out the oontract.— Decided to advance £15, to bo recouped out of subsequent payments.— From M. Swallow's business manager, ask ing the patronage of the Mayor and Coun cillors for his concert on the 25th. Received. —From W. Hood.re sewer connection on his m property at St. George's Bay Road, alleged to have been improperly made, and to be an ; infringement of the by-laws.—Referred to ■ Overseer to report whether drain is properly. trapped. ~ Drainage Contract. — Report from Messrs Boylan and Lundon re drainage contract was read.

Accouots.—Accounts amounting to £64 were passed.'

Bracewell's Claim.—Cr. Mullins re ported that he had made amicable arrange ments with Mr Bracewell regarding Bin claim, the Council to undertake the r?-. ? j instatement of his dwelling, damaged _ byv' the subsidence of drain track in Cheshire street.—lt was decided to obtain estimate of the cost of the work.

Nuisance Report.—The Inspector re ported the slaughter-houses and soap factory in a satisfactory condition, and the nighteoil and dust contracts were being earned out to his satisfaction. In cases where people made their own drainage con-' nections he found it difficult to get them to do it properly. Works .Retort.—The Overseer reported the completion of the St. Stephens Road. culvert, and that the path in Hobson's Bay Road had been cleared of furze and levelled ready for gravelling. Bates.—The Mayor mentioned that the rates were coming in- very slowly. The. Town Clerk was authorised to take steps; to recover rates due.

This was all the business.

We seldom repent of having eaten too little. S

"Are the young ladies of the present day fit for wives ?" asked a lecturer of his audience. "They are fit for husbands," responded a feminine voice; " but the diffi culty is that you men are not fit for wives." The applause was great, as was the discom fiture of the lecturer.
