Captain Bathuve.fs Itopovt.

Captain Bathckst (master) and Thomas Orr and Fred. Soronson (crew), of the .chooncr KitomhUdo, recently wrecked near Whnnguroa, arrived here by the Clans man this morning. They appear to have bad a very narrow escape. After they the schooner she drifted with three i _ .lnwn up against a rocky Sg° and be^me I toff wreck. Cap tain Bathurst reports:-Loft Auckland at 11 a.m. on the 17th inst bound for Wha ■nWoa Our cargo consisted of about 5 tone NoTzealand Produce. Tho weather was fquallv with the wind blowmgstrong from F. 11N E At sundown, whon off Mokahinau light, reefed single in all sails. About 2a m. next day passed to windward of Poor Knights. At daylight took in another reef, and hauled tho vessel up to tho wind. Wo wore then abreast of Capo Brett. The •weathor cleared, although tho wind was still blowing hard fiom N. to N.E. Took tho foresail off, and then shaped ■a proper courso for Cavnlli Wanda. 'Was off tho Islands abont 4 p.m. It was ■then blowing and raining hard. Could not •3oe*ho length of tho vowel. From Cav.ilh s dteored for Stophenron's Island, but was wnnbloto pick it up owing to thick wonther. A little after i> p.m. brought tho vessel up to theE.S.E., stood on that tack for about, ton minute?, then gave orders to put the ohip about. Sho missed stays owing to the heavy sea running, and wo had to wear. In doing so, carried away the main boom. Stood to tho N. and W. under forosail and jib both reefed. Seoing that the schooner would not reach out, put on tho other jib and ran her under Stephonson's Island. Let go two anchors between Stephonson's Island and the main land, and also n kedgo. The vessel held on for about fifteen .minutes, after which tho wind freshened, the Ben got worse, and she bocan to drag The boat was then lowered, and nil ■handfl got into her over tho stern. Tho mainland was five or six miles iistorn. Tried to mako for Stophenson's Island. We could not do so, and had to take the lee shoro or tho mainland. Whon we got ..lose in shore tho boat capsized in tho surf and throw all hands into the water. •Cot on some rocks with (i little difficulty. ■and remained there all night, after winch iwe walked overland to Tnu po. Saw nothing K)f the veesol after leaving hor, which wo did about 10 pm. on the 18th. At day- Sight on the following day nothing but small pieces of her could bo seen, and it ■became evident that she hnd become a total wreck.

ACCIDENT IN QUEEN STREET

Shortly after., ten o'clock this morning n rather Berious accident occurred in Queon atroet. It appears that a horse and trap to Mr Foa?, butcher, wag being driven at a clow paco along the street by a young man named Isaac Boucher, and when near thoOroyhound Hotel a youth named John O'Regan, em ployed atMrGoldwater's, attempted to cross rthe road, apparently not noticing tho trap. Boucher called out in order to attract his attention, but unsuccessfully. O'Uegan was almost instantly knocked down, the wheel of the trap passing over his neck. Constable O'Brien was soon in attendance, and bed him- removed to Mr Hill's chemist I«hop, where his wounds received attention. tHe was then taken homo by hi 3 father, who to bo closo at hand with his ex -Bress, No blame is attributable to tho ■driver of the trap, as ho was going little ■faster than a walking pace. Mr Hill etates ihat the lad had reooived a slight abrasion .on the head, but otherwise waa not much -injured, though naturally much shaken.

AUCKLAND POULTRY, PIGEON, CANARY, AND RABBIT ASSO CIATION.

*J_NNUAL SHOW.

Tub Show was largely patronised yester day afternoon, and to-day the attendance la etill more numerous, country visitors WBpecially being ccwpicuoua by their pro wnce.. On all sides the note 3of praise -Struck by the press are warmly re-echoed, And the general feeling is one of entiro .(satisfaction, both with tho arranga menta and the display. The awards, top, «eem to have been judiciously made, forthere feasingular'absence of carping on the part of exhibitors. The following are the highest aggregate points awnrded :—.l. Cornwall, 54points; Evans and Son. 13 points ; and MraJLE. Isaacs, 11 points; Mr Cornwall thus eoaing well to the fore. The exhibits •of Norwich., yellow, and buff were particu larly fine, and the other classes were all ■well represented. The comments we made yesterday were comprehensive enough to cover the whole ground, but ,etill a few additional remarks may not lie altogether out. of place. _ There ■was not as large an exhibition of rabbits aa might be expected, but those •shown were fine specimens, the pink eyed long-wool French rabbits boing fiirst -class. Perhaps tfaere has never before ■been such a grand chow of fowls in Auckland as tho one now open, the Engishman's favourite, the game cock, feeing not forgotten. Mr E. Uulme, who carried of tho first prize in this dovision lias several very fine birds, one whioh ho vataas at £105. Mr E. Cartwright also exhibits several cleanly built birds ithat seejna ;to be all muscle, not a sparo ■ounce of iflesh being apparent. Ono old veteran was exhibited by P. Cooper, and stohis pen is attached a card which states that fee had fought many battles and nevor yet teeo defeated, and that until he lose one eye he'had a standng backer of £50 So teat all comers. Somo very fine birds are also exhibited in the divisions devoted ■o Cochins Mr J. Cornwall succeeded in taking the first prize in both sections with a pair of magnificient "buffs." -while Mr Deal came a good second, No. 100 feeing a line specimen of the white Cochin. This gentleman ihad no lea* than ten entries in tbia Class atone Amongst tho Brahamaa wero perhaps the heaviest birds exhibited, the light ones being apparently tho best. That this class still keeps a firm hold upon the public, is instanced by the largo num ber of entries and the fine stamp of the oz hibits. The old favourite black Spanish were not forgotten, but it is oyident that the later candidates for public favour are fast pushing this breed out, aa thero ware ■only sixteen entries in both classes com- Ibiawl, Some of thoao birds were, how. «ver, yery fine. Among the newer in fcroductwaa are the Langshans, and Plymouth Rscks, both of which are well jepresented in &a present Exhibition. In the former clfcss were some fine large tirde, and the latter appear to be fast «oming into favour, though there is yet ropm for improvement, and we should like to aco more entries of this fine bree4 at tho next annual exhibition. Thero beine only six entries in the present one. The Inlands ai\d Houdans exhibited aro really first-class. Mr Deal who carried oft tho first prize in both divisions being a large exhibitor. A number of very fine bird*, belonging to Mr J. Abbot, placed for exhibition only, also contribute greatly to the success ot the Show.

The striking of this rate will come heavy upon some of the ratepayers, but tho Council find that there is no other way out of the dilliculty. There was a loss on the To Aroha tramway last month ot i,f4. It is thought that next month may show a change to the better. It was agreed to invitj tenders for the purchase of the Council locomotive now lying at To Aroha.

THE EAST AND WEST COAST RAILWAY JOB.

The Government aro Alarmed,

Wfxmnoton, this day. Last night was vory dull, and were it not for tho interesting condition that matters aro taking concerning the East and West Coast Railway, and that a wantof-con fidenee motion is talked of, Wellington so far as politinal gossip is concerned, would bo a Sahara. Fortunately, however, with "the probabilities" of "tho possi bilities," " tho good authorities," and all other prefaces for gossip, whether truo or false, thero is enough going on to keep ono's fingers out of his mouth. And first, to describe the posi tion generally. Tho Govprnment had in tended to bring the matter on to-night, little expecting tho howl of indignation with which the proposal had been re ceived from all parts of the colony except Canterbury and Westland. They havo, 1 believe, abandoned their previous intention, nnd will to-day announce the adjournment of the motion till Tuesday next, presum ably with tho intention of trying to screw up sufficient pressure to shove their nefarious job down the throats of tho members from other districts. Thoro aro many rumours flying about regarding the intentions of tho Opposition and want of confidence, but most of thoso I havo traced to their apparent sources aro proved tin truo. Thi.-f interesting occupation took up about four hours of my time yesterday afternoon, and at the end of my quest this afternoon I was ready to exclaim with tho wise man of old, " All men aro liars."

It 13 not truo that Major Atkinson, Mr Mitchelson, or Mr Fulton intend at prcsont to bring down a want ofconfidenco motion. If they did assail the Government's position on the .\ailway, I am assured it would not directly kill the Government, aa Ministers have disclaimed their intention of making tho matter a party question. A defeat on euch a monstrous proposal would, haw ever, weaken them greatly, by sending many of their supportors into the Opposi tion, as it has already sent Mr Dargaville, One rumour was very current, that an amendment will be brought down on Sir Julius Vogol'a proposal, to take the form of a vote of censure on the Ministry for having proposed to give 1\ per cent, after tho Houso having refused a 2 per cont. guarantee last year. Mr Dargavillo'a name was men tioned as the probable mover of this amend ment. I asked him by letter if it was true, and he replied denying it in toto. A prominent member of the Atkinson party, and an Aucklandor, sonda mo tho following note jn reply to a query as to whether that party intends to move in the matter: —"I bali^vo it is the intention of either Sir George or Mr Dargaville to movo some such amend ment to-morrow when the question comes on for discussion, but our party will have nothing to do with, it neither will wo coun tenance it, but we, as a party, aro going to negative the motion of Bir Julius Vogel re the East and West Coast to a certainty. Major Atkinson will not only speak against the proposal strongly, but will voto against it aleo. The rumour you have heard that Major Atkinson intends to voto for tho measure has ovidently been got up by aoine ardent Government supporters for the purposo of hardening up tome of their woalf-Jtnecd supportors. The question of colonial guarantee of any sort wo will not agree to, Ijijt if the resi dents of tho districts interested choose to allow themselves to be rated outside tha Government for tho purpose of meeting the demand of the would be contractors, thon we see no objection, but wo do not for ono moment suppose that any large number of people, after carefully considering the question, will agree to such a proposal." It is currently reported that among some of tho nominal supporters of the Govern ment thoro is great dissatisfaction, and a move in the direction of no-conh'donce might come from the Opposition members. lam awaro thoy have been sounded to see what support such a proposal would receive. I hear, as I write, that enormous pressure la being brought to boar on cortain dissatis fied Canterbury members to secure their support. Lookup over tho correspondence laid on the Ui}]fi today rolativo to railways, I find an official report of tho quality of the land available for tho Railway Company on the toute selected via Arthur's Pa=s. .Arable land, acres nil; pastoral land, 1/0,000; forest £0,000; barren, 5S0.000: total, 770,000. And this is the kind of coun-_ try the Canterbury pcopla want their felk w; colonists to pay peven millipßs to carry a ;ailway through.

Christchokch, this day. — A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held today to consider tho West Coast Railway question. Thero was the largest attsndanceof members ever seen atameeting of the Chamber, over 50 being present. The following resolution was passed unani mously and order.cd to bo telegraphed to the Government.—l. '.'That the Chamber is desirous to express its satisfaction at too announcement that the contractors are now prepared to proceed wjth th.O con struction of the East and West Coat* and Nelson lines of railway,1 2. That this Chamber is of opinion that tlie conditions named by the contractors and the proposal of the Colonial Trea surer as to tho method of providing the required guarantee of an annual sum of not exceeding £97,000 are accept; ablo to the members of this Chamber. 3 "That this Chambsr feols assured that the district/interested will without hesita tion accept the proposed responsibility in view of tho material benefits to be gained by the construction of the railway/ The first instalment of the public petition bearing )_OOO namo3 was sent off last night.
