NEW ZEALA.ND.

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, June 8.
The anxiety which was felt in anticipation of the
result of the State trials at llokitika has been en-

tirely relieved by the conviction of all the prisoners
and the lenient sentences passed on them by Mr.

Justice Richmond. It will be remembered that in
March last the peace of the Hokitika district was
seriously threatened by the organization of a fune-
ral procession, in sympathy with similar demon-
strations in England and Ireland shortly after the

execution of the Manchester Fenians. The pro-
cession, on being denied admittance into the ceme-

tery, forcibly entered it, and erected a memcrial

The Government, stimulated by the
universal feeling of indignation with which
everything approaching to Fenianism was re-

cross.

garded after the attack on Prince Alfred ae Syd-
ney, indicted seven of the ringleaders at lioki-

tika, and suppressed an inflammatory newspaper,
the ('e/t, by a criminal information against its pro-
f rietor and editor, two of the above-mentioned

seven. Great excitement was occasioned at Ilokitika

by these proceedings, to quell which nearly 2,000

special constables were sworn in, 70 armed consta-
bulary were detached from native service in this
island, and a company of the 18th Regiment from
Auckland were stopped on their way only because it

was calming down. Wellington or Nelson was ai
first spoken of as the place of trial ; but the Govern•
ment wisely put a bold front on the matter and lef
the law to take an uninterrupted course. The
trial opened on the 18th ult., the Attorney-General
prosecuting and Mr. Ireland, Q.C., of Melbourne,
defending the whole of the prisoners, with the
assistance of several local counsel. Mr. Ireland
had been offered a thousand guinea fee, but as it
was doubtful whether his engagements would per-
mit him to visit New Zealand, Mr. Travers, of
Wellington, had conditionally been secured on a fee
of £4OO, the highest ever yet paid in New Zealand.
The prisoners were Clarke, Barrett, Melody, Her-
ron, Ilannon, Manning, and the Rev. Father Lar-
kin, the two latter being connected with the Celt
newspaper, as well as with the seditious procession.
The indictment of 11 counts, and the prosecution,
in all its details, reflected the highest credit on the
Attorney-General (Mr. Prendergast), while, in re-
ference to the defence, Judge Richmond remarked,
in his summing up :—" 1 have read and studied the
defences in the recent trials at Dublin to charges of
the same nature, and I take it upon me to say that
not one of those defences, powerful as they were,
surpasses in force and subtlety that which has been
made to-day."
The evidence was, however, so clear that a ver-
dict of Guilty was recorded against the whole. A
recommendation to mercy accompanied the verdict,
and, on the prisoners expressing their contrition,
the judge gave fell effect to it by passing what he
himself styled the " ridiculously light" sentence of
a flue of £2O each. Next day Father Larkin and
Mr. Manning pleaded " Guilty" to the charge of
uttering seditious language iu the Celt, and, pro-
mising to behave better for the future, were let off
with only a month's imprisonment. Throughout
New Zealand the result has been highly approved
by all classes, the law having been fully vindicated
without arousing in the slightest degree th it almost
deathless condition into which Fenianism and every
thing connected with it had sunk.
The Governor is still engaged northward, but is
expected to return to Wellington this week. He
has visited such of the native tribes as could be
gathered together, but the power of the Governor's
presence and speeches is not now what it used to be,
and practically very little good can be accomplished
by his progress through the native districts, and
very little harm would result from the absence of
it. Somewhere or other in the extreme north some
natives are fighting out a private quarrel with
other natives, but the few items of this kind which
occasionally reach us generally pass through so
many untrustworthy channels that nobody pays
any heel to them. The Governor's absence alone
rrevents the issue of the proclamation calling the
Assembly together, but its meeting is fixed for the
9th of July. The Ministry has materially suffered
in numbers and power during the recess. The
treasurer, Mr. Fitzherbert, is now the London agent
for consolidating the loans; Major Richardson has
accepted the permanent Speakership of the Legisla-
tive Council; and Mr. Harris has, for private rea-
sons, resigned both his seat in the Mini try and the
legal office he held in connection with it. Mr.
Ilall, the Postmaster-General, has undertaken the
additional duties of treasurer, for the express pur-
pose of preparing a budget, rather than leave it to
the crude ideas of any one newly appointed. Mr.
Fox is to be elected in a few days for his old dis-
trict of Rangitikei, and general expectation points
to him as the coming man ; but the mind of the
Assembly is likely to be uncertain, and at present
nothing is more speculative than the politics of the
next few months.
I notice that the first operation under the Loan
Consolidation Acts emanating from any of the pro-
vinces has reference to the Gladstone loan of £50,000
negotiated for this province in 1856. The interest
it bears is 8 per cent., and is redeemable on twelve
months' notice. The Gazette notification fixes the
Ist of July, 1869, as the date on which the loan is
to be paid off at the Colonial Treasury in Welling-
ton, holders having meanwhile the opportunity of
exchanging them for 6 per Cent. Colonial Bonds,
on such terms as the New Zealand agent in Lon-
don, Mr. Fitzherbert, may determine.
By the Panama steamer of to-day the Roman
Catholic Bishop of Wellington, Monseigneur Viard,
takes his temporary departure for Rome. Ile was
associated with the highly venerated Bishop Porn-
pallier in missionary labour before these islands
were colonised, and was consecrated first Bishop of
Wellington in 1850. On Stturday afternoon a
public address was presented to him, the Superin-
tendent, Premier, and Judge especially remarking
how zealously and effectually he had upheld the
law when it became known to him that Father
Larkin and others of his clergy were fomenting the
late demonstrations at Hokitika.
The introduction of salmon ova has been success-
fully accomplished, some of the fish by the Celes-
tial Queen having just been hatched in the province
of Otago. Eleven boxes from the same vessel were
forwarded to Canterbury, but it is feared that
none would germinate. It is as yet doubtful
whether the rivers of the North Island are cold
enough for salmon, so that the experiments of ac-
climatization are confined at present to the south.
The success of the Celestial Qteen's importation is
in great measure owing to the care and interest
which Mr. Frank Buckland bestowed in England
on its preparation and packing. Unfortunately,
the ship made a longer passage than was anti-
cipated, or the result would have been still more
satisfactory.
The goldfields of Auckland have now became a
permanent industry, continuing to be confined
almost entirely to quartz crushing. The quarterly

Most of the Provincial Councils are now in Ses-
sion, and in several of them there has been a
" crisis," numerous gentlemen have been " sent for,"
and changes in the Government and policy duly
announced. Whether the provincial Government
are so near the eud of all things as is sometimes
stated is questionable, but meanwhile there is no
decay in the energy with which this sort of re-
sponsible Governnunt is worked. Mr. Ralleston
has been elected without opposition to the Sup,,rin-
tendency of Canterbury in the stead of Mr. Moor-
house, and also to a seat in the Assembly for ono of
the Canterbury districts.
Trade is on the whole reviving, and in Auck-

The Cincinnati Gazette gives a long account of
a delightful day's sport on the Greenland race-
course, near Louisville. It might be supposed than
racing was the amusement that attracted people to
the course, but the'citizens of Louisville were above
such sport. The trial of strength to which they
only condescended was the life-struggle of savage
animals, or those to be made savage by goading. Rats
and coons had come to grief before it was the turn
of a huge wild cat, fastened to a stake by a chain,
at whom two bull-dogs were one after the other
set. On the finish of this refreshing tussle, though
attended with exhaustive effects as regarded the
principals, a medium-sized black bear became
connected with the stake by the chain, and
proceeded to pat a bull-dog on the head
which bad flown to his embrace. After the dog
bad picked himself up and fastened on Bruin's
throat, be was hugged and scalped with the bear's
fore-paws and scraped by the hind claws, and at the
end of ten minutes the dog was in a state that would
be highly satisfactory to that cur-fancier Sir
Richard Mayne: Indeed Bruin did the police work
of Louisville as regards un-muzzled dogs, very
quickly finishing off four to the intense delight of
the spectators. But now came the grand sensation.
John Bull, in the shape of the dog, in which he is
supposed to take so much interest, had been disposed
off, and the turn of " the Rebel" came next, who in the
guise of a great bull was led into the interior of a
ring and fastened to the stake by a rope 15 feet in
length. The first bull-dog very discreetly took
fright and made off, and the fate of his brother
with more " pluck," but less discretion, showed how
true had been the instinct of the animal regarding the
effect, for Rebel caught him on his horns and sent him
flying, then broke loose, but was again refastened
by two very strong ropes. It is possible that the
purveyors of the entertainment thought they could
best utilise the wounded by finishing them off on
Rebel, for the next they selected was the game dog
which had been scalped, who went at the bull with
a rush, and was tossed 30 or 40 feet into the air, if
the Courrier is to be believed, and underwent the
further pleasing sensation on his return of being
stamped on. It was then deemed advisable to send
in another, and Rebel kept them going as a conjuror
does balls in the air, growing more furious every
minute, till in one of his frantic rushes he broke loose,
and darted into the midst of the crowd behind the
ropes. .Now came the turn of the good citizens,
and their reasoning quickly led them to the
conclusion of the first dog and to follow his
example. There was a frightful scare, in
which the horses harnessed to the vehicles took
part, smashing the carriages, and adding to the
general confusion. The first thing Rebel got hold
of was a box, on which a large number of people
were seated, whom he sprinkled over the crowd.
Fortunately for the spectators the animal was caught
by the horns in full career by the ropes stretched
across the track,which brought him to his haunches,
or it is probable that the bull would have stood
victorious on the Greenland course, as he was in a
humour for battle, and it is clear from their action
that his tormentors were not. But the day was
not destined to be one of unmixed triumph for
Rebel, though bred in Jefferson county, and well
known for his ferocious disposition, and his skill in
dog-fighting. When entangled in the rope he was
caught and made fast, and an English thorough-
bred slut belonging to Jack Brown, only weighing
191 b., took the throat hold, while another seized him
by the nose. How the English slut held on may
be gathered from the fact that she was awarded the
prize as the most scientific of the dogs. While the
fight thus furiously raged Rebel got his legs en-
tangled in the ropes, so his position might truly be
called embarrassing : one bull-dog at his throat,
another at his nose, and the ropes twisted about his
feet. But to the end he maintained his attitude of
defiance, and was eventually led off, to the relief of
the crowd, as if the honours of battle were thick
upon him. The Round Table, in alluding to this
scene, maintains that there has been little or no
improvement in morals in some localities within
the last century. It copies from Fearon's "Sketches
of America," published in London 1818, the follow-
ing advertisement, which had appeared in New
Orleans during the author's stay in that city :
" EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION.
"On Sunday, the 9th inst., will be represented in the
place where fireworks are generally exhibited, near the
Circus, an extraordinary fight of furious animals. The
place where the animals will fight is a rotunda of 160 feet
in circumference, with a railing of 17 feet in height, and a
circular gallery, well conditioned and strong, inspected
by the mayor and surveyors by him appointed.
" Ist Fight.—A strong Attakapas bull attacked and
subdued by six of the strongest dogs of the country.
" 2d Fight.—Six bull-dogs against a Canadian bear.
"33 Fight.—A beautiful tiger against a black bear.
" 4th Fight.—Twelve dogs against a strong and furious
Opelousas bull.
"If the tiger is not vanquished in the fight with the
bear, he will be sent alone against the last bull, and if the
latter conquers all his enemies, several pieces of fireworks
will be placed on his back, which will produce a very
entertaining amusement.
" In the circus will be placed two manikins, which, not-
withstanding the efforts of the bulls to throw them down,
will always rise again, whereby the animals will get
Furious.

This even fifty years ago in England was given
as a proof of brutality by a man who desired to
fasten the stigma of savagery on the people of that
portion of the country, and the Round ? able says
that it is a fitting pennant to the scene at Green-
land. Does Kentucky desire to keep up and main-
tain its mournful and significant title, " the dark

France be truly reported, the leading nation of the
