jl NUMBER of members of the Auckland Burns Club made an excursion to Remuera last night, and under the con'ductorship of Mr Lankham pive a big'nly .successful concert at the Mount Hobson Hall in aid of the repair fund of St. LuV.e's Presbyterian Church. About 300 p-jrscr.is were- present, the hall being- crowded. The first part of the programme consi3te<?. mainly of Jacobite selections, and the concert was opened with the spirit-stirring "Scots Wha Hae"bya choir of 13 voices. Songs were contributed by Miss McMillan (" Fiora McDonald's Lament-. '")', Mr G. Carter (" Old Scotland, I Love Thee"), Mr Smith (" Where the Highland Tartans Wave ■'), and Mr Lank ham ("The Pibroch of Donuil Dhu ") This last selection was encored. Mr Robertson was also honoured with .a recall for his recital of " Margaret and the Minister," while Mr Muiiro's bagpipe selections elicited prolonged applause.

MR BRYCE'S FAREWELL.

A MANLY SPEECH.

[BY TJJLEGRArH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Wa.ngaxUi, this day Mb Bbyce, on taking leave oi: the \\ uiio. tara electors at the official declarulioti oi the poll on Monday, read the following ad' dress: "I desire to take advantage oi the present opportunity to say a iuw words 10 , the electors of the district. 1 wish to return ray hearty thanks k> the district which has returned me so oiten as its member. I don t think tiie electors have ever had real cause to be ashy.ined of me, and I know I have often felt proud of my constituents. 1 wish also to acknowledge with warmest thanks the manner in which my friends stood by me and fought the battle in the late contest. 1 have leit their kindness very much. Let me say to them that, though beaten, we are not disgraced Borne defeats are more honourable than some victories, and this may be one of them. As to those electors who have gone against me in this ei.eccion on public grounds, we part in friendship. 1 shall endeavour to retain their respect as a private set tier even though I have lost thuir confidence as a public man. 1 have no right to complain of their action, and i assure yea i have nob the laast disposition to do so. There may be other electors who have voted in this election from .selfish or unworthy motives. To these 1 would say Let us part in peace. 1 have never sought the support of such people, and I don't now regret having lost it. Gentlemen, I have represented this district —with a short interval—for 21 years, and 1 am sure you will excuse me if 1 say there is Something painful in this parting. Perhaps some of that feeling is due to mortilied vanity. If it be so, let me assure you that the feeling of mortification will soon pass away, and I shall only remember your iong- I continued confidence and kindness."

WRECK OF THE GLASLYN.

SOME STRANGE EVIDENCE

The inquiry into the wreck of the barque Glaslyn, which was stated by her captain to have gone ashore on an uncharted reef in tho Celebes Group, was commenced at Melbourne on the 2uth ult. by tlie steam .Navigation Board. Peter Matthews, A. IJ., and b'rederick Aitkou Cook gave evidence which was not ol an importune character, but according to the evidence oi Charles Alexander, another able seaman, it seems that after the vessel struck rum was served indiscriminately till neariy all the hands were drunk. Witness .stated tliao lie was on deck from 8 to 12 the night the vessel struilt, and when he went beiow the weather was lino. About 2 o'clock some one woke witness and told him in a jocular sort of wav to get up, that the ship was ashore. The only attempt made to get the ship off was the running out of a kedge anchor, when the rope carried away. Another rope was spliced on, but only pulled taut. No other anchors were let go that he saw. Rum was served out so frequently that some of the men were dead drunk. The grog was on the cabin table, and the crew were allowed to help themselves. Witness asked the captain, when the crew were leaving the ship, could he stop there. The captain laughed, and said ;>hat he could do as lie liked. The mate and Sloane then said that if lie (witness) waitijd on board much longer he would find it ho hot that he would want them to come back for him. Sloane then said ho would sho'Ar witness before he left the ship what a man could do. Sloane then said that ho was going to set fire to her. There were a few oi the men standing by, and as soon as Sloane said that ho would lire the- ihip, w itnejs went to the captaiu, and said that l'.e had changed his mind, and would go 'vvith the boat. Witness did not say to tiie captain that the ship was to be burned. The mate remarked that it won Id be better to i let the bow anchor go, "as it would put a J'aee on it." This remark was made in the presence of several of the men. The last man out of the ship was Sloane. Witness felt sure on that point, as he saw him standing under the fore castle head, doing something with a kerosene tin ; but what it was witness could not see. While witness was sitting on the rail of the ship the mate called him into the boat. As thejr came away from the ship witness saw smoko ascending for the space of about half an hour. Witness did not see any flame, but only dense heavy smoke. Witness saw no junks or other boats while going to tilie shore. No Chinese junk could have set the vessel alight; in fact, witness felt positive that Sloane did it. Sloane partially ad mitted doing it while in the boat. Peter Matthews, able .seaman, showed that there was no lire on the barque when she was abandoned, and described efforts made to heave the vessel off tho rock with two kedges. He also stated that only a small allowance of rum was given out, and that he, and not Sloane, 'v/as the last to leave the ship. Daniel McLeod, A.8., also gave evidence to to similar effect. He tirst heard of the. vessel being on fire on his arrival in Melbourne. John Donaghy, who held a half-interest in the vessel, stated that the ship was in jured for £3,250, /and that his share in the Glaslyn was £2,000. At this stage the inquiry was adjourned to the 30th October, to allow the boatswain to be produced, as it was believed ho could throw a great amount of light on the subject. . i

SUPREME COURT.

CiviS Sessions. (Before Mr Justice Ward.)

Rhodes v. Kerk.—The Supreme Court was occupied the whole of yesterday afternoon taking evidence in the above case. Mr Theo. Cooper closed the case for the plain tiff, after which Mr liesketh opened the case for the defence. He stated that he only intended to call one witness, viz., Mr Howarth, a solicitor and patentee, and his evidence .vould be lengthy; and the deposi tions of two other witnesses, taken in Wel lington, would also be submitted.—Mr Howarth was then placed in the box, and was examined by Mr Hesketh. He deposed that he was the agent of the defendant for the sale of the patent. He gave evidence as to the transactions relating to the tests of the incandescent light, when the patent was sold, and their satisfactory nature, and the negotiations with Mr Rhodes. His evidence was continued up to live o'clock, and the Court then adjourned until ten o'clock this morning, when his examination , was continued. Mr Howarth said that he had conducted the correspondence with the plaintiff, He remembered Mr Rhodes visiting Welling ton when he saw Mr Kerr. At that time Mr Rhodes did not make any complaint whatever about the gas. AMr Nelson gave £50 for the right of using the fight in his house at Wellington in December, 1886. Mr Nelson con sidered the light a success, and was still using it. He had 26 lights burning. Similar arrangements had been made with Mr McAllister and Mr Mowbray at the Hutt, and also at Cameron and Prin's and Mr Chatlield's at Wellington. Mr Rhodes told witness that it was his Intention to form a company to work the light. Witness told him that he would have no difficulty in getting all the money he was giving from a company for Auckland alone. M r Rhodes said that he should want .t'lo.ooo lor it. Mr Khodes appeared per fectly wtudedwiDbtbeiijjh*.—"'•f Cooper

cross*f xamined this witness at considerable length. Mr Hesketh also re-called Mr George Rhodes, the plaintiff, who gave further evidence as to the precise date _ upon I which he discovered after a service of ' experiments that the representations made Iby the patentee were not substamated. ; The depositions of witnesses taken for the ■ie'ene ye. c read. That of Air Ed wards solicitor was not put in as ! Mr Cooper objected to it.-This closed the case for the defence. There are nineteen I issues to be submitted to the jury. After the usual adjournment lor lunch, Mr Hesketh proceeded toaddressthe jury on be half of thedefence. He expressed .sorrow that the case was of such a complicated nature. His remarks lasted until after we wont to press. His Honor intimated that he was prepared to sit till a late hour in order to finish the case to-night.

ONEHUNGA MUTUAL IMPORTANT SOCIETY.

Undek the auspices of the above society a most instructive and deeply interesting lecture was delivered last night in the Stone toenool-huiise adjoining: St. Peter's Üburch by .Mr v. K. Jens, M.H.B.S. Eng. to a large and appreciative auuienee ot both sexes. Dr. VV. K. Ereon occupied the ehuir and in a few brief and appro priate remarks introduced the lecturer. Mr Jetis came forward amidst applause, and informed the audience that he would not attempt to make this, a strictly .scientific lecture, as time would not admit of hid dealing with each of the specimens of ferns before him in a purely scientific manner. Of these specimens there were some hund red and twenty, very beautifully mounted on cardboard, each specimen separately on cards of ahoub 12 x 18 inches. All of which weie tastefully hung round the end of the room in rear of the lecturer. A black board was also in requisition, on which magnified representa tions of portions of the different ferns were neatly drawn. Mr Jetls, in commencing, gave an account of tho researches of early botanists who accompanied Capt. Cook during his three voyages to New Zealand from 1769 to 1777, sfioHving the difficul ties with which they then had to con tond owing to the hostility ..of the natives, thereby being unable to pene trate the dense bush, made tiieir collections only form the vicinity of the sea coast securing only some 30 or 90 out of the 125 known specimens of ferns in Now Zea land. Since that period to 1841 different botanists had visited New Zealand and in 1853 the eminent Doctor Hooker compiled from the various collection of the different botanists, his synopisjilicio or hand-book of New Zealand Flora. The names of ferns to be found in this book are not quite x-eliable owing as Doctor Hooker remarked to the specimens with which he had to work being very dry and in some instances imperfectly pressed. More modern books, however, have rectified this to an extent, but the lecturer objected to ferns being specified by complimentary names of eminent men, which were wide of science, showing that the specified name should always lead to the particular characteristic of the plant. He then explained theuses of the ferns to the natives. Mr Jeffs then took each specimen sheet by sheet separately giving the generic and specific names, and peculiar character of each fern. He also explained most clearly the diagrams on the blackboard, showing the rhizoni or root, the 8 ori or seed vessels, the different formation of fronds, tho vina tion or veins and other organs. The lecture called the attention of the audience to the strange coincidence o f the similarity of the Maori name to the botanical name of one of the most importat ferns. The Gleichcna Circinata, strange that scenic having placed this fern as the first or primi tive lern, the Maori name being Matua Rarauhc or Parent of Ferns, owing to its being tlie first fern that seems to have origin on newly-broken lands. The lec turer went caremlly through each specimen to the end, occupying in all about two hours, giving the greatest delight to the audience. At the close, Mr Jeti's kindly offered to explain the method of col lecting, pressing, and mounting the ferns, the otter being greatly appreciated by those present, Mr H. D. Jackson proposed and Mr J. 11. Blackwood seconded a cordial vote of thanks to Mr Jelis for his very able and interesting lecture. The Chairman then complimented Mr Joffa upon the able manner in which he handled the subject

The Town Clerk has received a letter from Dr. Lemon, Superintendent of Tele graphs, stating that the Council must undertake to insulate all leads for the lighting of the city with electric light crossing Government wires for a distance of 30 feet on each side with rubber and tape. A reply has been sent acquiescing in this, and the necessary action will at once be taken to proceed. Mr A. E. Ashcroft, the managing director of the Company holding the contract, may be expected in Auckland at an early date with the apparatus required.

The young woman Mary O'Connor, who has been under Dr. Lindsay's care at the Refuge for several days, is now reputed to be out of danger. She was able to leave her bedyesterday and will mostlikely bewell enough to give evidence in the child aban doning case to be resumed at 10 a.m. on Friday next.

Our brave defenders are evidently not all in sympathetic accord with the proposed sham fight to be held at Tamaki on Novem ber 9th. It is urged by the discontents that having given up the Easter holidays for one encampment it fa unfair to ask them to give up Prince of Wales Birthday also, and the movement appears likely to meet with some opposition.
