ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

Annual Catholic Fete.

The annual fete of tho patron saint of Ire land is every yoar becoming moro import ant, that of to day oolipungineraiy respect that of last yoar, as that in its turn did the iivovioua one. The first pjrt of the pro gramrao was tho services at St. Patrick's Cathodral, which wero, as usual, largoly at tendod.

THE PROCESSION.

The lower end of Hobaon-streot was very g.iy nt 10 o'clock this morning, as the numerous school children of St. Patrick's and tho Ma:is Brothers' schoo!a,gathered for the procession. Tho ground in front of Mr Dignan'.s houeo was liko a gay flower garden of little human (lowers, the bright Biimtncr dresses of tho girls being sot otf tp advantage by encircling sashes, by ribbons, and by bows of the "natiouul colour." A dark framework of an expectant and enthusiastic crowd made up the p'c tnio. Amongst tho onlookers, who mostly woro n " bit of green," a genuine Faddy could be seen here and there, as certain national airs wero wafted down tho st'rcot from tho approaching bands—in dulging in a few ttops of a jig, cap in hand. Tho weather, which oarJy io tho day had threatened disaster to dreatee. nnd lumbago and rheumatism to thoso ciuo loss nnough to indulge in romps upon the gra?s, cleared oIT fast beforo tho start for tlio liomain. Tho sun thonp out, and Ilio children looked Ray and happy, the wind, rising with (ho ppirits of tho pleasure eeokers.tugeingand pulling at the numerous banners held aloft. Tho big standard of tho St Patrick's Sunday-Fchcol wrapped it=elf round two small boy?, and threatened to carry 1 horn oil their lego. Tho boys, how ever, ''stuck to ihcir colours " till unfolded by thoso who van to their help Those firefc reaJy on tho ground, as arranged, wero tho children of tho St Patrick's Sunday school, "00 boys and 330 girls, the former under the care of Mr.Dignan, tho latter under Ml«b Ph^chan (f.ndy Superintendent) and Miss Kiely, and t!ie children of tho Marist Brothers' School under Brother Jjdwin. Tho following lady teachers wero amongst tl-o?e to accompany tho children : —Mieses A. Mcllhone, Garrigan, O'Brien, Donovan, Uoff, and Nolan. Ten past ten, nnd the Hibernian Society, with its great banner with tho words "Faith, Hopo, nnd Charity " emblazoned on it, and headed by Mr J .J. Lawlcr, President, and Mr W, H. I'ohlen, Vice-President, and tho Commit tee, numbering in all '200 persona, wore ready in marching 0.-dor, tho well known musicians of Nsr Impey'e Band being ahead, whon tho strains of the approaching Garri eon Band wero heard, and the red-coated musicians came along down tho street, headed by Bandmaster B. M. Moiris. Down through tho crowd came the band at a fcharp walk, and behind them camo a broathless double row of littlo ones of the I'onsonby Orphan School, and school children of the Church of tho Sacred Heart, 170 in all —tho Roy. Father Lenihan, Mr Gregory, and Mr Burns being in charge of thi?, tho Ponsonby contingent At 10 30, tho band struck up, and the procession, a mo?t striking (wd pretty one, marched up Hob?on street, down Wellesley street, and co to tho Dcraain, the St Benedict's school children meeting the others at Kowton. Tho happy, chubby little faces of tho healthy looking little orphan girls were generally >e marked.

At the Choral Hall the Newton contin gont with tho St Benedict's school children, a force of 700, 400 of whom were firls, joined tho procession with tho Newton Temperance Band, headed by Bandmaster Philpot, Fathers O'Sullivan, O'Gara, Weibil, Mifsea Willis, Heath, lolloux, Kelly, Slurpby, and Messrs Kcary, MoEntoo, I atid I, K. Bo.vden, O'JSeil, Manoy, and otbors were in chargo of the children.

DOMAIN SPORTS

Lively as the Domain often is at holiday time, it rarely puts on the gay and festive nppoaranco of to-day. Fifteen hundred and rooro school children indulging in the do ligbU of morry •go - rounds, swings atid other mr.cb.ines of the sort, not to forget the uaual rifla-tubes (at which, by-tbe-bye, we saw ?oraa members of the " foore " trying their f-killjisboundto makethingslooklivcd, anywhere Under the silvan shade of that part of tho Domain bush, noar the Hanger's house, tents, and stalli by the dozen, f.ic luroequely covered with bright fruit and sticky ciikos, wero bothronged with young NewZoalander;;. If 13 Lordship tho Bishop, accompaoiod by Father Casaidy, of New Plymouth, and Father Uostello, took great interest in tho arraogamonts on t.ho gro-.nd. Those gentlemen to whom the arraugoments of tho eporta was on trustod, wore Messrs Kearney, Oignan, 3' Lawry, and othors. Tho Hibcrriau Society a Sports are taking place ou tho Cricket (iround as wo go to prose, tho children's races taking place on tho paddock.

The Holiday at Wellington.

Wellington, this day

Thoro is tine wcithor for the holiday, but a fresh breczo is blowing, which will make the regatta a failure unless it decreases. The disqualified Wakatu (Neleon) crow have made affidavit thnt they are not pro fessionals, and intend to claim the Union Cup. Tho Hibernians have their annual sports on the Basin Roservo Excursion trains are running, and the day is being kept as a general holiday.

RUSSIAN RAID ON THE COLONIES.

Astounding Disclosures

(BY TKLEGKAI'H.-OWN CORRESPONDENT),

Wellington", this day. A startling announcement is made by the "Post" apropos of the circular received by the Government from the War Office on the subject of defences. "We believe," says that journal, "that the Imperial Government endorses an opinion which has beforo found expression that if Russia does go to war with England, overt action will be taken by the former prior to or without any formal declaration of war, and that this action will almost certainly take the'form oi a descent on the Australasian colonies. The Imperial Government pos sesses, and has furnished to the Colonial Governments absolute proof that this is what Russia intended and was prepared for when the outbreak of war appeared imminent a few years ago. The Government have only recently become aware of a precautionary measure taken at the time of the last war scare. A British man-of-war paid a visit to Waka puaka, where the cable reaches New Zealand shores, and remained there some time until all danger of a sudden visit from a hostile cruiser had rmssed away. A muflled bout pulled ashore and "warned the cable operators to preserve secrecy, and this was carefully observed.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT— This Day.

' Defended Casks. — Joseph Armstrong v. Harry Moses, claim £1 2s 2d. Defendant ac knowledged owing 17s 4d, and offered to pay tho same Order made accordingly. Hill V. Rev. Gideon Smales, claim £15 19s Id; for wages com mitsion. etc. Mr O'Meagher appeared for tho plaintiff, nnd Mr Thco. Cooper for the defence. Mr Cooper said that in this case he would have to make an application for an order requiring the plaintiff to deliver a more complete state ment of particulars of claim. Dates were omitted and other important details. It would therefore be necessary to adjourn the case in order that tho amended statement could be furnished ami that the defendant could prepare his defence.— Mr O'Meagher explained that he had not shown up the particulars of the claim. If it was ad iourned it served his client right for putting the law in motion himself. (Laughter) His Worship held that the particulars were faulty, and the case was adjourned until the 31st instant. (The court then adjourned until to-morrow.)

There were 120 paseerjgors from Auck land by tho Waikato excursion train thie morning. The Horticultural Show at Te Awamutu is therefore likely to be well patronised this alternoon. The cricket match Wholesale v. Retail Drapers is proceeding as wo go to presp. Owing to a paragraph in our morning con temporary (inferted by someone totally unauthorised) stating that the match would not be played, some inconvenience has been caused to both 'teams However, the match has eventuated, despite the attempte to (hwart it.

VOLUNTEER TROUBLES.

It was stated in a second edition last even ing that Captain McDonald and Lieutenants Martelli and Palmer had been ordered by Lieutenant - Colonel Mahon to consider themselves undor arrest for alleged broaches of tho regulations. The announcement caused considerable surprise, and in con junction with the arrest- of Sergeanf- Major Power, may be taken as e,vi donco of the unfortunate stage to which matters in No. ,') Bittallion have advanced. An inquiry will follow in due course, and thero is but little douvt that tbe presence of General Whitmore will bo required. Lieuteuant-Colonel Mahon baces hia action in this matter on tho following clause in tho Voluntoer regulations i — " Meetings arc not to be held for purposo of expressing an opinion upon 'the acts of a superior oilicer or the Defence Department, or of recom mending any particular course of action ; nor aro the memorials to be drawn up to tho same ellect; and no meetings ex cept those called togethor by or under tho authority of tho Commanding Odicor of a corps or battalion^ who will bo responsible for doing so, will bo, rocognisod. It" any officer or Voluntoor has cause to think himselt aggrieved, ho will represent the case through bis commanding oilicer to tho ollicor commanding tho district. Any aupoal against tho decision of the officer commanding tho district will be made through that officer for transmission to higher authority " Captain McDonald does not intend to tako any further stops pending tho result of the in quiry. lie ie satisfied that ho has compiled with the Voluatoer regulations m following tbo court-o that ho did, and de tires a full inquiry in opon Court. Charges and counter charges are likoly to bo made as the result of tho arrest. Whatever may bo tho cuusa, there is no doubt .that tlio la-it fow months havo seen a great fulling oil' in lha Voluntoer forco, and resignations hivo beon received at the local defence offices in batchi a. The following correspon dence explains tho action which has been taken with rogard to tho officers of the Ponsonby corps : —

Port Hamilton

Why tho Negotiations Between Eng

land and China Failed.

TilE "Japan Mail" of January 19th says: " The latest explanation of the Port Hamil ton mystery is furnished by the Tientsin correspondent of the Hochi Shimbun, lie says that Great Britain intimated to the Government at Peking her williußneea to rostoro tho isluncJs to Ooreii provided that China would guarantee tbemagaiost foreign depression. Thia China doclined to do and so the arrangement fell through. Such is he Tientsin story.' It ia lees in credible than other rumours that huve been circulated on tho fame subject Every one interested in Corea's destiny must recognieo the necessity of inducing China to place her policy on an inteligiblo basis. The Peking Goverement appears to be puided by a lofty assumption that the King of peninsula is a subordinate of the Viceroy of China and the later practically asaumoa the position of superior. At the same time China accepts no responsibility in respect of Corea, but on the contrary has openly con nived at getting the little kingdom's inde pendence recognised by Western Powers. The upshot of it is that every one ia mysti fied about the real statuß of the peninsula, which thus becomes an inviting lure to foreign aggressors. Ib is conceivable that England, contemplating the restoration of Port Hamilton, may have sought to bring China to a practical frame of mind, nod induce her to show her hand beyond the possibility of equivocation. China, how ever, is placed in a somewhat embarrass ing position. She cannot give any guaran tee whatsoever about the peninsula without Japan's co operation. The treaty ot Tient sin places the two empires on precisely the same footing toward Corea. If China formerly believed that she posseseed a right to take the peninsula undor her military protection, she formally renounced that right in 1881 when she agreed that its active exercise must depend upon Japan's as?ent. That fact, at all events, is beyond all question. A dispatch from Kagas3ki dated January 18th, announces that the removal of the building at Port Hamilton, sold by auction, has been postponed until February 4th next.
