NEW ZEALAND.

The following is a copy of s despatch from Go-
vernor Sir George Grey, K.C.8., addreseed to the Right
Hon. the Earl of Caroarvon :
" Government House, Wellington, Jan. 8.

"My Lord,—l have this morning returned to this *roe,
a few hours before the Panama steamer sails with the
English made.
" I consequently have no time to make a lengthened
report to you, but I am 6020 that you will be happy to
hear that this country continues tranquil, and is rapidly
improving in every respect. On my recent journey I
have passed through the North Island, traversing its
central ►nd most accessible districts, portions of which
had not been visited by any European for several years.
I was everywhere received with joy and rejoicings by
the native population, even in those districts where their
losses of men during the war had been large ; but these
men had all fallen in places remote from their own ter-
ritory, where they had gone to join their fellow-country-
men who were in arms against us, and their surviving re-
lations admitted in the most unreserved manner that we
were not to blame for the large loss of life which bad
taken place. I consider the native population to be
now in a better state than I have ever previously known
it. The natives express the greatest anxiety that Euro.
pours should settle among them. They cheerfully conform
to the views and wishes of thegovernment upon all matters;
indeed, they appear to desire to be directed and to be
shown what they should do to render practicable a rapid
amalgamation between the Europeans and themselves.
I met everywhere, in districts which had been re-
garded as unsafe, the utmost respect, and I was treated
with a kindness so attentive and considerate that it was
quite touching. I feel sure that the European popula-
tion, finding from my journey that they can again safely
traverse the interior of the country, will begin to spread
into all parts of it, developing the great resources of valu-
able districts which are now but little known, and the ad-
vance of this northern island in wealth and population
will be consequently henceforth very rapid. In this ad-
vanes in wealth and prosperity the native population, who
are extensive landowners, will largely share, and I feel
quite satisfied that New Zealand, now ceasing to be any
drain upon the resources of Great Britain, will in time be
regarded as one of the most tranquil and valuable portions
of the empire.—l have, &c., G. Gan. The Right lion.

TRADICS' tarbms.

The Times publishes bits of the evidence which is being
heard by the Trades' Unions Commission, selecting espe-
cially the st►tements of Mr. Harnett, the secretary of the
the Friendly Society of Operative Masons. This society,
it appears, fixes a minimum rate of wages for each district,
and any member is fined, and ultimately expelled, if he
accepts anything below the tariff. The same penalty is
inflicted on the mason who takes piece-work, for " the
society does not recognise piece-work." It disapproves
overtime in general, delegating the power of dispensing with
the prohibition to district lodges, whose consent must be
obtained before any workman can exceed the usual hours.
whatever the emergency. Its rules against " chasing "
are apparently peremptory, and it distributes black
lists of those who have worked in opposition to its laws.
While fully anticipating that the habits of providence
and self-government encouraged by the trades' unions
will be recognised in an impartial report, the Times greatly
fears that practices of this kind, contrary not only to po-
litical economy but to common sense and common justice,
will be proved to be very general among them. If a man
who possesses greater strength or ability than his fellows
chooses of his own accord to join a society which forbids
him to earn more than average wages, it is his own con-
cern, bat it is monstrous that he should be intimidated or
bullied into joining the society, or for working on his own
terms without joining it. While interference with liberty
of contract is prescribed or sanctioned by ta-ailese unions,
as we know on Mr. Harnott's authority that it is, protests
against narrow theories of political economy are vain and
hypocritical.

Ir 4 TOPICS.

The decision in the case of Admiral Pentane) is shown by
the Time. to have been the necessary result of his own de-
fence. On coming up with the enemy, he suddenly
quitted his flag-ship, which was afterwards sunk,
and, unknown to the rest of the fleet, went
on board tke Affondatore. This he did, be says,
that be might better survey the chances of the battle, but
it seems that he only once put his head out of the strong
turret. Dur;ng the engagement the Affondatore was
steered straight upon an Austrian vessel, and twice was
the shock avoided. Captain Martini called out " port," a
movement which would have made the collision inevitable,
but Persano cried out "starboard," and wrathfully added
that "it was for him alone to give orders." " The Kaiser's
fire," he observed, was "too heavy." The Italian fleet
all through was without a commander, and it is easy to
understand why after the disasters of the Re d'ltalia and
Palestro the Italians remained paralysed. Scarcely half
an hour after the first encounter, and as the two squadrons
were about to recommence, the admiral suddenly revealed
himself, and, after perplexing the fleet by contradictory
signals, led it from the enemy.

ORIENTAL INLAND STEAM COMPANY

(LIMITED).-( THIS DAY.)

The eleventh annual meetingwaa held at 1 o'clock
at the London Tavern, Mr. J. RoczasoN in the chair.
The report and accounts, which were trued some time
ago, having been taken as read,
The CHAI mug observed that the directors had been in
communication with the Indus Steam Flotilla Company, with
the view of handing over the property to that company
on terms to be arranged. Astatementof facts and accounts
was about to be submitted to the Secretary of State for
India ; and the beard had been obliged to call the deben-
ture holders together to obtain their assistance in carry
ing out the arrangement to which he had alluded. Ile
concluded by moving the adoption of the motion.
Mr. J. C. Bourox, in seconding the motion, referred to
the great di/heckles with which the company had
had to contend in the presidency of Bombay.
The merchants had refused to send any goods
down the river, the channel of which had, moreover,
owing to drought, in genie parts not more than 2.1 feet of
water. The offer made for the concern up to this time
was not a satisfactory one, but he hoped the terms would
be amended.

In rely to Mr. DARBTOIIIII6,
Mr. 'Leon maid the directors had done all in their
power to recover calls from the holders of the C shares.

Colonel Clinics, as the largest C shareholder, corrobo-
rated the statement of Mr. Bolton.

After some discussion the report and amounts were
adopted and the proceedings terminated in the usual
manner.

Mr. T. B. riorsfall and Mr. S. R. Graves, the
members for Liverpool, have just expressed their views
on the question of extending the franchise to
women. In • letter addressed to one of the
chief promoters of the movement, Mr. Mandell
frankly avows his opinion that women ought
to be enfranchised, but he would exclude those
who are married, and who may be supposed to be
under the influence of their husbands. Mr. Graves
has not quite made up his mind on the subject.
All he promises is that in the event of the question being
submitted to the House of Commons in • practical form
he will give it his most anxious and best consideration.

Duke of Newcastle was appointed steward in the place of Mr.
W. G. Craves, who retired by rotation. The Earl of Glasgow
was elected a member of the lientinck Flind Committee
in the place of the Earl of Chesterfield. Mr. Lowther
withdrew his motion on the subject of the nomination of foreign
hones in favour of that of Admiral Rona. suggesting one or
two alterations in the lett, r, which were agreed to, and the re-
solution passed in the following form: That rule IS, on the subject
of the nomination of foreign horses, be amended as follows, the
words quoted being added to the present rule :-16. No hone
fooled oat of the United Kingdom shall run for any race until
his owner has produced a certificate of some racing club of the
country where the horse was foaled, or from the mayor or other
public officer of the district, stating the age, pedigree, and
colour of the hone, and the marks by which it is distinguished
" and also a certificate of the horse's age signed by a veterinary
surgeon, being a member of the Royal College of Veterinary
Surgeon. Ouch person to be approved of by the stewards, and
the said certificates to be lodged at Messrs. Weatherby's ofiice in
London. No horse, though foaled in the United Kingdom,
which has heen exported before running in anApublic race, and
is afterwards brought into this country to run, shall be quali-
fied to start until the owner or person in charge of the hone
has produced a certificate of his age, signed as above. The pro-
duction of theme certificates shall not preclude the stewards from
ordering an examination of the horse's mouth by a veterinary
surgeon, appointed by themselves, as provided in Rule ittl, if
they shall see reason for so doing." ;N.ll —This new rule Is not
to come Into operation until May I.' It was proposed by Admiral
Roue, and resolved That the sinner of a private handicap
race shall be exempted from the penalty of carrying extra
weight& in all public handicaps, the terms of which Impose on
winoers of all handicaps certain penalties for winning after a
specified date. 'Note.—lcy a private handicap is meant one in
which the weights are agreed ul.on among the parties to It, and
which has not been publicly advertised prey loon to the engage-
ment being madel It was proposed by Admiral Roos. and re-
solved —That the Muter of her Majesty's ifuckhounds for the
time being shall be, ex officio. an honorary:member GI the Jockey
Club.

REMARKS.

Atmospherical d generally shine yester-
day morning. The winds have backed a little with diminished
force, whilst temperature has remained steady. Weather gvue-
rally overcast, with mist lu south, and little rain.

A letter from Marseilles says :—" A large placard
on the walls of this city announces that the celebrated
Theresa is to give a concert at the Aloasar Music Hall on
the 23rd. The price of admission is Axed at 20fr., 10fr.,
and Mr., accenting to the places. The notice does not,
however, mention whether a glass of beer is included, and
whether the audience will be expected to liquor afresh
after each song. In any ease, 20fr. to hear the Gazdeuse
d'Ours ' or the ' &pear,' even sung by Theresa, is rather
high, when for the quarter of that sum the public of Mar-
seilles have had Nourrit, Dupree, Tambezlik, Mdme.
moreau, Alboni, and Patti, who certainly did not sing the
FCIIIIIIO i Barba,' but were nevertheless great artists."
A strange epidemic prevails at this moment
amongst the feline race in the environs of Brussels. Cats
are dying in large numbers and my rapidly, after con-
tinual vomiting, spasms, convulsions, and other symptoms
resembling poison.

SKELTON T. THE LONDON AND NORTH WIDITERN RAILWAY

COMPANY.

The plaintiff sued for damages for the lose of her hus-
band, who was killed while crossing the defendants' line at
a level crossing near Walsall, but at the trial before Mr.
Justice Blackburn, at Gloucester, a nonsuit was entered.
Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., now moved for a rule to enter a
verdit for 500/., • sum at which the jury had assessed
the damages in the event of the plaintiff being held
entitled to recover. The facts were, that at each end of
the level crossing there was a wicket gate, and b 7 means
of machinery in a pointaman's box close by a ring was
dropped over the upright of the gate and the post, so as
to prevent the gate being opened when there was danger,
but when there wee no danger the ring was removed sod the
date was left free. At ten minutes past 6in the morning
in January the deceased, with another man, was going to
work, and on their way they approached the crossing.
, There was a cad train there, and they waited a few mo-
' meats until it moved off, and then they approached the
gate and finding the ring up passed on to the line, when
another train, which had been hidden by the coal train,
knocked down the plaintiff's husband and killed him. The
question, under these circumstances, was, whether there
was any negligence on the part of the company. It was
admitted that there was no duty on the company to keep a
man at a level mousing, but it was submitted that the
company having taken upon themselves to keep the gate
closed when there was danger, were bound to do that work
carefully.
Mr. justice Byles—Then the company were liable be-
cause they had uone more than their duty.
Mr. Buddleston said that the course taken by the com-
pany was such as to give public notice that when the ring
was up the crossing was safe, and he submitted that if
they did their work negligently, and so led anybody into
danger that resulted in injury, they were liable.
Rule granted.

SOUTHWARK.

The Rer. George Keppet, of Cush&lton, a gentleman
well known for his benevolent acts and literary attain-
ments, was placed at the bar before Mr. Woolrych,
charged with indecently assaulting Mary Ann Fraser, •
very respectable-looking young woman, while getting out
of a railway carriage at the London-bridge terminus.
The prosecutrix said that she was single, and a domestic
servant, at present living with her parents at 14, Cecil-
street, St. Martin's-lane, and until recently in the service
of Mr. James Maitland, of Croydon. On Saturday evening
last, at six o'clock, she got into a third-class carriage at
Charing-cross with her mother, to proceed to London-
bridge. The defendant was in the same compartment, as
well as a railway porter. The former was sitting near the
door next the platform. and as she was getting out at Lon-
don-bridge he put his band behind her, and assaulted her in
an indecent manner.

This evidence was confirmed by the mother of com-
plainant and the railway porter.
For the defence it was alleged that what bad happened
was entirely the result of accident, while complainant
was being assisted out of the carriage by defendant.
Mr. Woolrych observed that be bad carefully investi-
gated the case, and sifted all the evidence, but he could see
nothing to throw the slightest doubt on the testimony of
the complainant, corroborated as she was by her mother
and the railway porter. He had very anxiously inquired
into the case, as it not only bore upon the characters of
individuals, but it was known that females had frequently
committed errors in making such charges, many of which
bad been ascertained to be false and trumped up. In the
present case, however, there did not appear to be
anything of the kind. The witnesses were respectable,
and it was not sought to impeach their conduct. Under
all the circumstances he must send the case before a jury,
but the defendant would be remanded on bail until a future
day for the completion of the depositions.

THE POLICE COURT&

A reepeetable-looking hardworking woman, about 35
years of age, made the following application to the
magistrate :
. . .

App can I have come for protection against my hus-
band. He deserted me six years ago, leaving me with
four children and another of which I was shortly after
delivered. lie has done nothing whatever for me all that
time, and I have had, as you may suppose, to work very
hard to keep my children. /17 husband returned lest
night drunk. and I want proteolaon.
Mr. Arnold—Did he do anything to yon! Do you want
protection for your person or your property
Applicant—For my little home, which I have worked
hard for.

Mr. Arnold—l cannot help you.
Applicant- Can't I have any protection ? Is my hus-
band to break up the little home from myself and my poor
children?
Mr. Arnold—You are too late. You should have come
here before your husband's return if you had wanted a
protection order. His coming back, in my opinion, pre-
vents you having the order now. My impression is that
you are no longer deserted by your husband. You can,
however, sue in the Divorce Court.

General of the Department of Public Safety.
The Italian government has given very stringent

pontifical territory.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
FLORENCE, APRIL 16.

In yesterday evening's sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies, Signor Ferraris requested information
from the government relative to the late ministerial
crisis, and also upon the intentions of the ministry
respecting the composition of the cabinet, the
Roman question, the finances, administrative de-
centralisation, and the ecclesiastical property.
Signor Rattazzi replied that he did not feel justi-
fied in giving information respecting the late minis-
terial crisis. The present cabinet, he said, is guided
by the same general principles as its predecessor—
these principles being also &hared by nearly all the
parties in parliament.
The ministry will bring forward administrative
and financial measures upon the first opportunity.
Relative to the ecclesiastical property Signor Rat-
tazzi stated that he should firmly maintain the
ideas which he had expressed to his electors on
this question. Referring to the Roman question
the minister said :—" The government will loyally
execute the September Convention, and will pre-
vent any attempt that might compromise the
future of this question." With regard to administra-
tive decentralisation the minister declared his ideas
to be radical. He proposed to leave to the govern-
ment solely that intervention which was necessary
to good administration. Signor Rattazzi observed
respecting the composition of the cabinet that no
one could say that one province of Italy more than
another was represented in it. Upon the conclusion
of Signor Rattazzi'a speech the subject dropped.
Deputy Monzani has been nominated Secretary-
General of the Ministry of the Interior, and Com-
mander Srevzhi to the same post in the Ministry of
Finance. No secretaries-general are to be ap-
pointed to the Ministries of War or Marine.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

The Daily Ncus points out some revelations in the
diplomatic correspondence on the Luxemburg question,
which did not and could not find their place in the papers
which have been laid before the English parliament,
and quotes the circumstances to show bow a
personal government, which offers no legitimate
satisfaction to the moral life of a people, is
driven to seek in territorial aggrandisement. and
theatrical surprises that popular favour and pres-
tige which it is afraid to owe to peace and liberty.
The Daily News does nut find in the French Yellow }look
any trace of a hostile feeling towards Prussia, or of a
desire to pick a quarrel with that power—rather the
reverse. Nor would it put too fine a point on the dis-
crepancy between the text of the despatches in the Yellow
Book and M. do Moustier's statement in the Corps Legia-
latif, that the question of the Grand Ducby had not been
spontaneously raised by the French government. The
statement is one of those which are almost as easy to sus-
tain as to disprove. Probably the true solution of the
mystery, if mystery there be, will be found at some future
day in M. de Bismarek's Memoirs, in a chapter entitled
" In a balcony at Biarritz."

The bill on the law of public meeting which has just
been issued by the Commission of the French Legislative
Body is described by the Times se far more deplorable
than the worst sceptics as to imperial liberalism antici-
pated. It is, as an opposition deputy instil characterised
it, a bill " not on, but against, public use Alsip." It goes
beyond the " Nibil de Principe, partnn de Pen " principle
of the academies of olden times. Without the consent of
the authorities neither much nor little can be said on

(THIS DAY.)
The supply of beasts is again short, and there is • fair
demand. Prices for choicest qualities have advanced
• little, but inferior kinds are not dearer. Trade
is dull for sheep ; although the supply is short
it is difficult to maintain late rates. Lambs are plentiful
and trade for them exceedingly bad. Very few reach our
top quotations. Calves are lower. Our foreign supply
consults of 1.6:10 beasts. 4,570 sheep, 304 calves, and 20
pigs. From Scotland there are 91 beasts ; Norfolk and
Suffolk, 1,250, sad 679 from the Northern and Midland
counties.

Messrs. Pattenden and Smith report the accounts from
the plantations during the past week have shown no im-

Sussex, East and Mid and the Weald of Kent. Suitable
weather may, however pull the hops through the blight.

BM MA.; Ezirrti TIE:ATIT.-Yr.I7.THS " LA ?OR 'A
DMTINO."

This work (composed for and produced at St.
Petersburg five years since) was brought out for the List
time here on Saturday night, with considerable success.
The opera, founded on one of those horrible stories of
crime and bloodshed which alone seem to stimulate
✓erth's imagination, contains much cleverly written
concerted niune, although but few effective solo pieces.
Throughout the opera (as in Doe Carlo., to a greater 4'
tree) there is evidence of a larger command over effects
of combination, a more varied power of detail in his etches.
tratiun, than are to be found in moat of Verdi's pre•
vicsus works, although doubtless they contain more
of the popular element of " tune.•' The work an.
brought out with great care and attention to stags
effect. The interior of the inn with the assemblage of mule-
teers and other guests ; and the scene of the military en-
campment, with its well-ordered yet apparently uneon-
"rolled multitudes of soldiers and camp followers, were
capital speciuieus of stage management. Very effective,
too, were the scene of the church with its adjoining con-
vent, and the final rocky valley, with its gloom fitfully
irradiated by flashes of electric light. Of the principal
singers we have already said enough to imply how great
and how successful were their exertions. It is not possible
to any finer performance of the parts of Leonora,
Prezonolia, Don Alvaro, and Dun Carlo, than was realised
on Saturday night by Mdile. Titian., Mine. Tre-
helli.blettini, Signor Mongini, and Mr. Santley ; while
the subordinate characters of Curra, Trabuco, a Surgeon,
and an Alealde were generally well tilled by Millie.
Bauernieister, Mr. Mohler, Signori Foll and Casabeni ;
other Mill ►usher ports falling to Signori Manfredi and
Bertacchi. The orchestra and chorus were thoroughly
efficieut throughout; and Signor Arditi, as conductor,
displayed all his usual ready energy—especially in one
or two cases of indecision in the ooncertA music.

NEWSPAPER SIGNATURES IN FE.ANCE. —The signa-
tures make a notable difference between French newspapers
and ours, not in form merely, but also in substance. It
obvious that the proper name at the end of an article has
some influence on its style. A man who signs what he
says to the public, will naturally be more prudent and
courteous than one who speaks unknown from behind the
broadsheet. Compare, as is right, our neighbour'. best
with our own best. In the one there is a tone of high
breeding which the other scarcely condescends to use.
Anything sharply said, even to the verge of coarseness,
seems to us well said, if we be but convinced that it is well
deserved. Justice in substance, as we reckon it, atones fee
many sins of form. The French journalist signing his
name, writes as he would speak within hearing of his ad-
versary before a select assemblage of well-bred critics ; his
politeness in the use of his weapon serving at times to
sharpen its sting. The English journalist shrouded behind
his editorial '• we " uses no polite circumlocution. He
speaks the strong, fearless, AuthoritAtlve Lyng:lase of •
public functionary fulfilling a public duty. This is the
language we untleretAnd and like, and therefore it is
spoken. It is best spoken auoupootosiy.—.NortA British
