NEW' ZE !LAND.

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, June 8.

The anxiety which was felt in anticipation of the
result of the State trials at Hokitika 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 memorial
cross. The Government, stimulated by the
universal feeling of indignation with which
everything approaching to Fenianism was re-
garded after the attack on Prince Alfred ae Syd-
ney, indicted seven of the ringleaders at Hoki-
tika, and suppressed an indatnmatßy newspaper,
the Celt, by a criminal information against its pro-
prietor and editor, two of the above-mentioned
seven. Great excitement was occasioned at llokitika
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 at
first spoken of as the place of trial ; but the Govern-
ment wisely put a bold front on the matter and left
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, bad conditionally been secured on a fee
of £4OO, the highest ever yet paid in New Zealand.
The prisoners were Clarke, Barrett, Melody, Her-
ron, Hannon, 'Manning, and the Rev. Father Lar-
kin, the two latter being connected with the Celt
newsi-aper, as well as with the seditious procession.
The indictment of 11 counts, and tie 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-clay."
The evi lence 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 expres,ing their contrition,
the ju Ike gave full effect to it by passing what he
himself styled the " ridiculously light" sentence of
a fine of £2O each. Next day Father Larkin and
Mr. Manning pleaded " Guilty" to the ch trge of
uttering seditious language in the Celt, and, pro-
mising to behave better for the future, were Lt 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 that almost
deathless condition into which Fenianism and every
thing connected with it ha I sunk.
The Governor is still engaged northward, bat is
expected to return to Wellington thi, 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 hee ito them. The Governor's absence alone
prevents the issue of the proclamation calling the
Assembly together, but its meeting is fixed for the
9th of July. The Min'stry has materially suffered
in numbers and poser daring the recess. The
treasurer, Mr. Fitzherbert, is now the London agent
for cuesolidatiog the loans ; Major Richardson bas
accepted the permanent Spcakership of the Legisla-
tive Council; and Mr. Harris has, for private rea-
sons, resign:d both his seat in the Ministry and the
legal office he held in connection with it. Mr.
Hall, the Postmaster-General, has undertaken the
additional duties of treasurer, fur the express pur-
pose of preparing a budge,, 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 Raugitikti, 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 LDan
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 G'uzette notification fixes the
L.t 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 oppor.unity of
exchanging them for 6 per Cent. Col mid Bonds,
on such terms as the New Zealand agent in Lon-
don, Mr. Fitzherbert, may detertuine.

By the Panama steamer of to-day the Roman
Catholic Bishop of Wellington, Monseigneur Viard,
takes his temporary departure for Rome. He was
associated with the highly venerated Bishop Pom-
pallier iu missionary labour before these islands
were colonised, and was consecrated first Bishop of
Wellington in 185'). Oa S tturday afternoon a
puLlic 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-
c:imatization are confined at present to the south.
The success of the Celestial Q teen'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 Clan was au:i-
cipated, or the result would have been still more
satisfactory. _ _ _

The goldfields of Auckland have now become a
permanent industry, continuing to be confined
almost entirely to quartz crushing. The quarterly

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD MEETING-THURSDAY.

The sport provided to-day was a great improvement
upon that of either of the other days, independent of
the iutereat attaching to the Cup, the card involved the
decision of the llolacomb Stakes, to say nothing of the
three Bentinck Memorials. Quite a sensation was created
this morning when the cards were issued and the name of
Bliukboolie was omitted from the list of competitors for
the Cup. It was evident from the betting on Wednesday
night that something was wrong with Mr. Chaplin's horse,
those who had previously been his stanchest friends be-
traying a great anxiety to lay against him. The fact of
his being scratched, however, did not transpire until this
morning, but as soon as Mr. Chaplin found his colt had
hit his leg in his box he ordered the pen to be put through
his name, the time being half-past six. Blinkhoolie's
withdrawal, of course, completely revolutionised the bet-
ting ; but before proceeding to a commentary on the day's
sport a mention of some of the features of the Cup day
may not be uninteresting. The weather, in strong con-
trast to that of yesterday, was delightfully fine,
and, for the first- time this week, Trundlehill
had occupants. The atmosphere was clear, and a
gentle breeze had the effect of tempering the sun's
rays. The lawn presented all the usual features of the Cup
Day, and was graced by the presence of the Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward of Saxe-
Weimar, the Duke of Sutherland, and the distinguished
company staying at " the house" and at Molecomb. The
weather being so favourable to a display of fashion and
beauty, there was no lack of it, the attendance under the
trees being as large as ever, and the effect as beautiful as
on any previous occ tsien, but it is a pity that the public
will insist on so close a scrutiny of the distinguished visi-
tors, for whenever the Duke of Edinburgh left the Jockey
Club Stand he was mobbed. It was an over display of
loyalty, and, indeed, amounted to snobbishness. The
Sweepstakes for colts, with which the racing commenced
at half-past one o'clock, turned out the "good thing" it
looked for the Duke of Beaufort, who with high odds betted
on him, won iu a canter, and having won three races " off
the reel," has brought Mr Brayley back the X5OO he gave
for him, and a good surplus into the bargain. Vale Royal
was made the favourite for the Racing Stakes, for which he
was opposed by Bel Giorno and the Spy. Lord Stam-
ford's horse had a clear leal on entering into the straight,
whore he ran rather wide, and the Spy came up, and,
heading Vale Royal at the distance, won very cleverly.
The defeat of Vale Re; al increased the number of
Tabouret's friends for the Cup. Belladrum was made a
warm favourite for the Molecomb Stakes, for which the
chief of his opponents was Chatelherault ; but Mr. Merry's
Derby colt had no difficulty in winning in a canter from
the representative of the Heath House stable. A:though
The Spy bad already a ra.:o in him, he was brought out
for the Seventeenth Bentinck Memorial Stakes, and op-
posed by Sunstroke and Banditto, he won by a neck from
the latter, after one of the closest races of the week. The
Goodwood Cup only produced five runners, the absentees
from the lot coloured being Satyr, Vale Royal, Knight of
the Garter, and King Alfred. During the morning Julius
became an immense favourite, and when a notice was posted
in the ring that the Duke of Newcastle declared to win
with him, he touched even money ; and so freely was
Speculum backed that at the finish 5 to 4 was laid against
Julius, 7 to 2 being taken about Speculum, and 4 to 1
about Tabouret. Suffolk, whom Morris had been sweating
some five drys to rid e was invested upon at 8 to 1, as
much as 100 to 8 being laid against Blueskin. The race
is very easily described, as Speculum and Blueskin had the
greater part of it to themelve3 throughout, furnishing a
close struggle home, but Sp calurn stayed the longest, and
won very cleverly by a neck. Tebouret, eN. hem Hudson
had to ride all the way up the straight, was third. Julius
showed some temper within the straight, but it did not
interfere with his chance, and it is now evident that he
has not returned to his form. Suffolk was beaten by Spe-
culum farther than h 3 was in the Darby, as he finished the
absolute last to-day. Belladrum end Ryahworth fought
their Stockbridge battle over again, and as their meeting
was unexpected it created greater interest. They mot at
level weights, and although Mr Merry's colt had a race in
him already, he gall ape 1 so free y that he was again nude
the favourite, and won very easily, overhauling Rysh-
worth at Deley's plensure, and, forging ahead, passed the
post half a length in advance of Mr Savile's cult. After
the race 1,000 to 150 was taken about Belladrum for the
Derby, and 7 to 1 to a lot of money, whilst 1,000 to tio was
wanted about Ryshworth. Nono of the other races require
any special comment.

Spy slil•ped his horses awl took a clear leal of Sunstroke,
Banditto following the latter at an inter al of about a
length. After going half a mile The Spy drew himself
throe lengths clear, a like interval separating Mr Merry's
colt from Banditto. Entering the straight Sunstroke drew
up to the favourite's quarters, Banditto at the distance corn-
ing out on the inside ; a fine race home ensued, but The
Spy, who hal always the best of the struggle, won very
cleverly by a neck, Bauditto beating Sunstroke by a head
for second place.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Julius, 7 to 2 agst Speculum, 4 to 1
agst Tabouret, 8 to 1 agst Suffolk, 100 to 8 agst Blueskin.
Tho Baron's colt, Suffolk, was the first to appear on the
course almost simultaneously with the hafting of the
numbers, Blueskin, Tabouret, Julius, and Speculum fol-
lowing in the order named, slight intervals elapsing be-
tween their appearanc Nothing worthy of note occurred
in the canters, which were led by Speculum, Tabouret
being next, Blueskin and Julia.; bringing up the rear. The
five competitors being paraded in front of the Stand, Mr.
fd`Georgo succeeded in despatching them at the first at-
tempt to an equitable start, at 3.40, ten minutes after the
appointed hour. Suffolk and Blueskin were the first to
shew in advance at a dreadfully slow pace, but on passing
the Stand Morris pulled the Baron's colt into the rear,with
Julius, Blueskin, and Speculum going on almost abreast,
but wide of each other, clear of Tabouret till fairly beyond
the enclosure, When the lead was assumed by the last
mentioned, who, h iwever, had only a slight advantage of
his horses till ascending th 3 fur the bend out of the
st:aight, where Sp2culum and Blueskin raced past him,
going on side by side three or four lengths in advance of
the Tupgill horse, at whose heels lay Suffolk, Julius being
on qui right of the Baron's colt. When about a mile of
the journey had been a,;eomplished Speculum took a clear
lead of Blueskin, Saffolk going; up to Tabouret,
Juliuf still bringing up the rear. No clump oc,iiirred till
rounding'' the clump," wli )11 Suffolk ran into third place,
dkappfariug from sight just in the rear of Blueskia ;
Tabouret dropping into the rear. On reappearing Blue-
skin joined Speculum, the pair going on almost abreast of
each other, clear of Suffolk, to the hill 1-aling to the
straight, a little over a quarter of a mile from home, when
Julius drew up to the Baron's colt. Speculum and Blue-
skin entered t.ie straight head and head, coining along at a
rattlins pace some dis!anc i in advance of Suffolk. Before
reaching the rai:s Speculum took a Flight lea I, and sinful-
taw ously-Suffolk was in difficulties, an .l was passed by
Julius, wao exhibited some temper as they descended the
hill. Approaching the distance Hudson was obliged to
call upon Tabourer, bat the horse stuck gamely to his
work, coming on soma distance in the rear. Tho race
then became a match between Blueskin and Speculum.
Maidment made the most resolute efforts with Blueskin
from the commencement of the Stand enclosure, bat Specu-

lam, however, had the pace over him all the way, and
Kenyon, riding with great patience and j udgmen t,won very
cleverly by a neck. Tabouret, whom Hudson had ridden
from the distance, was third, beaten a length from Blue-
skin ; whilst Julius was fourth, fully half a dozen lengths
in rear of the Goodwood Stakes winner. Suffolk cantered
in last of all, a long way off.
Time, as taken by Benson's chronograph, 5 min. 1O
seconds.

to the commencement of the Stand enclosure, where Mr
Merry's colt got on level terms with Ryshwurth, and al
though Fordham made every exertion with the Vertumna
colt, Belladruni forged gradually ahead, and won easily
by half a length.
After the race 1,000 to 150 was taken about Belladrum
for the Derby, and 1,000 ti 60 wanted about Ryshworth.

WILD SPORTS OF KENTUCKY.

Al.-

The Cincinnati Gazette gives a long account of
a delightful day's sport on the Greenland race--
course, near Louisville. It might be supposed that
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 twa bull-dogs were one after the other
set. On the finish of this refreshing tussle, though
attended with exhaustive effects a 3 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 had flown to his embrace. After the dog
had picked himself up and fastened on Bruin's
throat, he 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 bulldog very discreetly took
fright an 1 mad) off, and the fate of his brother
with more " pluck," but less discretion, showed hoi
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 Couerier 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 le 1 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 state 1, 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
i Rebel, though bred in Jefferson county, and well
I known for his ferocious disposition, and his skill in
dog-fighting. When entangled in the rope be 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 to
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 :-
" EXTRAORDINArty 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
sublued ley six of the strongest dogs of the country.
" 2d Fight.—Six bull-dogs against a Canadian bear.
" 3d Fight.—A beautiful tiger against a black bear.
"4th Fight. —T we've dogs against a strong and furious
Opelousas bull.
" If the tiger is not vanquished in the fight with the
bear, ho 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.

" Admittance, grown persons, ono dollar ; children,
half-price" (p. 277).

This even fifty years ago in England was given
as a proof of brutality by a man wlio desired to
fasten the stigm t of savagery on the people of that
portion of the country, and the Round gable 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 signific int title, " the dark
and bloody ground ?" But if recent Lull-flights in
France be truly reported, the leading nation of the
Continent is setting an example as bad.

HIGHLAND- AND AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.

ABERDEEN, Thursday Night.
The proceedings in connexion with the present
year's show of the Highland and Agricultural
Society of Scotland terminated here this afternocu.
The weather throughout the whole three days of. i.e
meeting baying been most inviting for outdoor re-
creation, the attendance of spectators has been un-
usually great. Yesterday alone the admission
money amounted to £BOO, while the total takings
at the doors approach well on to £l,soo—a sunl
about sufficient to pay all the society's expenses
connected with the Exhibition.

A ball in the Music-hall last right was attended
by the elite of t'ie stranger members of the society
and the residen6 of the city and northern counties

A considerable amount of business was done bi
the exhibitors of implements, but the number of
stock which exchanged hands was not large. The
special committee appointed to exanina the imple-
Inents have selected some sixty articles from the
immense. collection on the ground, with a view of
practically testing their merits ; a double furrow
plough, the invention of Messrs. Pixie, a local firm,
said to do its work admirably with one pair of
I,orses, attracted a great deal of attention fro►►l
machine makers and agriculturists. The arrange-
ments of Mr. Menzies, secretary of the society, and
the local secretaries, Messrs. Ligert, 'Wood, and
Yeats, have been very complete, and afforded g`3.
neral satisfaction.

BIRHINGILI :11 CII,4.IIDER OF COMMERCE.

The half-yearly meeting of this body was held
yesterday afternoon. The following are extracts
from the report. As to the County Counts Amend-
ment Act :

"Your Council during the past half-year received
a letter signed by more than 50 manufacturers,
merchants, and factors, requesting efforts to be
made to obtain a change in the above law, which
at present renders it necessary to sue a debtor in
the County Court of the district where he resides,
thus placing the plaintiff in an unfavourable position.
Should this cluing; after experience has fully shown
the working of the Act, still seem desirable, your
Council will renew efforts to get an alteration of
the law in this rapect, and the next Session of
Parliament may be expected to be more able to gips
attention to..commercial questions than the present
has been.

In relation to " Trades Unions and Strikes," it
was said:—

"It is impossible to deny the right of working
men to combine for their own just interest. The
part of wisdom is to do all that can be done by per"
suasion and enlightenment to induce trade union°,
to keep their action within the limits of fairness and
justice, as the only conduct that can be permanently
successful. • Your council considered that the stone"
63.50115' strike in this town, which began in April
last and unfortunately still continues, was a proper
occasion to try if any good could be done towards
affecting a settlement between employers and their
workmen by conciliation. In order to offer 8
Board of Conciliation that should be as
unexceptionable as possible to the workmen
is well as the masters, your Council ar"
ranged with the Trades' Council of this 'tot°
that three deputies from their body should joie
with three members of your Council in offering
themselves as a Joint Committee of Conciliation
between th parties in difference. The stonernas°l3,.°
on strike and the master builders were invited each
to send three deputies to meet this joint committee
in the council-room of your chamber. This offer
was readily accepted. Some meetings were
your Council regret to say without success hitherto,
but as these meetings may possibly be renewed'
your Council abstain from further statement. 'lib's
attempt was the more readily made by your Coen-
eil from the hope that it might open up the waY to
some permanent Council of Conciliation to Which
employers and their workmen might apply
in their differences b..fore resorting to actual
hostility." In a subsequent paragraph, after the
,
advantages that would arise from an International
Monetary Union were pointed out, and as to tll°
purchase of the telegraph system by the Govern"
went, this report said—" This will be a most iel;
portant change, and one from which your Col'ci
expect great advantage in regularity of workil
and greater extension of telegraphic facilities to n.
parts of the country. Your Council would alto
hope that important reductions in char
,e will to
made, but they cannot help avoid expressing alia o
opinion that the sum now proposed to buy out t
rights and properties of the present emepallie3
unfairly large, and it is likely that the interest °
this sum will prevent an early reduction to thel°yr
~.,
rates for telegraphing that under • the post-ot0;
management would probably have otherwise soot
proved to be sufficient.

Finally, in relation to the condition of trade:"'
"Your Council greatly regret that they are 10317i0
4
to record any notable improvement in the trade "d
the town or country. If periods of contraction and
depression of trade are, as they believe, but the
natural and necessary consequences of danger°uo
expansion and over speculation, which are aliviao'n
found to precede them, then we should expect' de,
looking back, to find that the long-continued 13,,
pression which we still suffer from was preceded id
an equally great period of high speculation. )10
probably the memories of all men of business 1/.0" ,
lead them to pronounce that we are but now sttliAjovi
taming to a balance. If we would take Nirt"de,
from the past, and avoid these trying times of us
pression in future, we must prevent the previ°
expression which causes them."
After some discussion the report was adopted'
