. The Mararoa, with the San Francisco mails, arrived at Auckland on Saturday ;■ - morning, at 6 o'clock. The following is a summary of the intelligence brought -by her: - \ GENERAL SDMMABf, (European dates to July 2nd.) Hobart Pasha (August Charles Hobart), : Marshal of the Turkish Empire, died on i June 19th. Owing to ill-health*Hobart a . - few weeks previous resigned all service with the Sujtan. A despatch says the - ■.. deceased soldier was buried by the : Turkish Government at Constantinople with great pojpp. The remains were brought in a Turkish gunboat from ---Genoa, Mrs Dudley, the woman who shot -.

Campbell, • applied to the court on July 2nd to have removed from the plaintiff's petition the paragraph charging him with adultery , , with persons unknown. The court re- . served their decision for a fortnight, and .. in the meantime will read the whole of . this correspondence and all the affidavits submitted by L° r d Colin Campbell in bis proas spit, to substantiate hia charge, that Lady Colin Campbell had been guilty of adultery with the Duke of Marlboiough ... and others. Eight persons were instantly killed op June 3Qth by an accident to the mail train from Belfast to Dublin, Twenty 'persons were wounded, and the train completely smashed. The accident was due to tne expansion of the rails caused by excessive heat. \n express train on the Stuttgart- . Berlin railway ran into a local train near Uunburgh on July Ist, killing a large number of persons. Nine are known to have been killed. None of the express passengers were fatally .hurt. fiver twenty-five persons were drowned by the capsizing of a ferry boat while crossing Moldan River, in Bohemia. One of Dr Pasteur’s patients, inoculated for rabies, died on the 24th. . The noted spiritualist Home, died in .. London on June 22nd, aged 53. Abhe Lizst, heretofore reported dying at Wiemar, has recovered hia health. The piatgi of the British barque 4-rklow, • who* wm’ picked up at sea m an oped' boat*'and brought to Queensland, has disappeared, fhe respuid man had said the Arklow was sunk in a collision on Mjy Btb. He left a note staling that

his heartrending story of the collision was false, and added : vessel for a reason which I will hereafter explain.” Twenty-four men were killed and sixteen entombed on Juii* 24th, by an explosion in a colliery at Rocheville, France. A despatch from Paris on June 24th, says that a group of Parisian financiers have advanced 25,000,000 francs to the Panama Canal Company. London despatches to 2Srd Jnne, say that in Egypt and Burmah the British are threatened with increasing difficulties. The campaign in the latter country as to the methods of seating the Government are alike a failure. Iheebaw’s disbanded soldiers are constantly attacking the British garrison. Every attack has been repulsed, but the garrison are worn out with incessant duty. In Egypt dervishes are resuming activity, and th* Soudan border is again threatened by clouds of rebels. From beth countries come urgent calls for reinforcements. A despatch from Rangoon dated June 29th says a force of British troops with two batteries had a severe fight with 1500 Burmese rebels ationgly entrenched hear Turmuc. The fight lasted five hours, and the British, failing to dislodge the Burmese, retired. Several officers were killed and wounded. ENGLISH ELECTIONS. Michael Davitt pronounced the socalled Fenian manifesto published in the Times as an election dodge. He says the document was written by an ex-editor of an extinct Irish paper, which pretended to extreme Nationalist views. Mr Childers, speaking at Edinburgh, said he was unable to support any proposal to vote fifty to one hundred millions of pound* to buy out the Irish landlords. The Marquis of Salisbury made a speech, at Leeds on June 18th, before nearly 5,000 persons in which he ridiculed Mr Gladstone and his plan of Horae Rule and defended coercion. “We may say criminal law is coercion. If. Mr Gladstone is opposed to if, we must presumo that he sympathises with criminals against whom all efforts have been made. (Cheers). Our coercion, which ho de Bounces, was diracted against robbery, murder, mstilaiioo, terrorism, sod a system of organised intimidation which, made life-bittor to thousands of innocent persons. If Protestants have shown their • deep enthralling interest in the imatter, it is because they know by experience that their dearest inteiests are involved. They know they will have an undyiag recollection of their long hereditary feuds. Much lias been made of the Parnellites recent protestations in debate, but it must be remembered that Mr Parnell said deliberately that America would not be satisfied till she had destroyed the last, link that keeps Ireland bound to England.” Lord Randolph Churchill, peaking at Paddington on 27th June, said be had nothing to say to the A mericao dynamite sad dagger faction bat to offer an English ' cliallsnge. “Our prisons are large ; rope ia cheap, and we have plenty of amateur hangmen. IRISH NEWS. The Rev. Hugh Hannah, D.D., Presbyterian Minister, St. Enoch’s Church, Belfast, preached a sermon on the evening of the 13th. Referring to the recent riots he said “ Government think Ulster will be easily subjected by a seditious parliament; it has signally failed in the estimate of us. The people of the North Have effective means of resistance, but the time has not yet come to employ them. The humblest of the seven victims who succumbed last Wednesday under the murderous fire of Morley’s militia presented a higher and nobler type of character than does Morley.” The Catholic clergy of Belfast, on the 13th, congratulated their people on their patience and forbearance under provoking circumstances, and urged them to continue to keep the peace. The papers are full of accounts of de? structive riots at Belfast, lasting, with more or less violence, from June 6th till’ the 11th., On the Bth a mob of Grangemen wrecked a number of houses of Catholics, severely injuring some of th# occupants. There was also trouble in the Orange districts of Monaghan on the same day. At Largan several militia men were wounded and houses wreeked. One hundred houses in the city, two of which they burned, were broken into. They entered (he whisky stores and drank themselves into a state of desperation. Some ran about the streets calling out “To-—-* with the Pope.” The police used buck-shot freely, and many of the rioters were severely wopnded. At night the mob iqade an attack pn a tavern kept by $ Catholic named Duffey, which they wrecked, after overpowering the police. In this affair Chief ! of Police Carr was wounded. A remarkable feature during all the days of rioting was the manner in which women and girls goaded the men on to fight, offering fhem aprons full of fresh atones, and when this entreaty failed, used savage threats. The females were actively engaged in looting, too, and Duley’s place, as wall as Mackenna’s and McOloskey’s, and some.atcroa in York Street, were wrecked; Scores of women and children were employed all the time the rioting was going on in carrying off wine and liquors in jugs and buckets. Ificn, youths and girls" drank until they fell helpless in the gutters, the girls acting with greater fury during the orgie than the men. After sacking various taverns the rioter* fired (hem, A reporter on one of the daily papers gives it as his opinion that the mob was composed of the very scum'of Bidfaet. I saw the fiends," he writes, “ hurling rocks at the gallant firemen who were imperilling their lives In an attempt to save the dwellings from destruction. I saw a doatn ruffians during the night of the 10th sneaking away from the wrecked and burning buildings laden with loot.” During the rows on- the 9tb, Mr Gladstone and Mr Parnell were both burned in effigy, and a dummy labelled 1! Home Rule,V was also burped. At one time the situation became »o desperate that Mr Matthew*, the local Orange leadar, publicly declared that unless the authorities did their duty he and Ihoueande of Orangemen would take charge of th# town. Matthews was on the point of carrying out bis threat when the military appeared. Before this the raph drove a force of 150’ phUcemen ihto the jjarracka. and then” attacked, thp building. The police fired, 1 killing five persons, ope a barmaid who was looking out pi a tavern window at the fighting, and another a widow with three children. Se-

vera! Protestant clergymen tried to disperse the mob, but their efforts were unavailing. The mob continued firing atones whi'e they were speaking, and one divine was hit by a rock in the face. At midnight on the 10th a mob of Grangemen -aided a public house kept by a C-itholic named O’Hara, and after sackin? *t, reduced it to ashes. The police were beaten back in this fight and forced to take refugs in the barracks. Scores of rioters were wounded, and it is known positively that air men and women were killed. Twenty rioters who received bullet wounds were lying in one infirmary. The old officers say they never knew a mob to show greater viciousuess, violence, pluck and determination. Fighting with the police continued till 10 a.m. on the 10th, when two troops of dra.-oona galloped up to the vicinity of Bower Hill police station followed by 300 infantry. They had been under arms eleven hours, The mob then dispersed, and when they rallied again, found the troops, had cordoned all the streets around the barracks. Realising the impregnability of the police’s position,the rioters dispersed in sections, cursing the Pope, denouncing Home Rule, and singing the “ Orange Lily ” and “Rule Britannia.” The city was comparatively quiet on the afternoon of the 10th, and on the 12th Government put the districts terrorised by the mobs in the province of Ulster under martial law. People living in the neighbourhood where the rioting began say that it was caused by the police under a mistaken impression molesting and cudgelling some orderly workmen while they were leaving a foundry. Andrew' and Arthur Donnelly, leading Catholics, merchants, were arrested on June 9th on a charge ef firing from their windows. The mob wanted to lynch them. Several riots occurred in Sligo on the evening of the 13th June, and quite a number of Protestant’s houses were wrecked. The trouble originated with the residents, who wore angry because someone had destroyed the railing stirrounding the Archbishop’s Palace. They gathered in thousands, and attacked the houses of the Protestants and hooted and molested many persons. The windows of every house in which it was known that Protestants dwelt were smashed. The Country Club House, the Constitutional Club, the Methodist Manse, the residence of the Congregational Minister and several chapels were attacked and wrecked. The Orangemen made no attempt to retaliate. The Mayor, who is a Nationalist, and several of the Magistrates penetrated to the front of the throng and tried to appease them, but without avail. The Riot Act was then read and the soldiers ordered to clear the street, which they did at the point of the bayonet. Sixteen rioters were arrested. AMERICAN SUMMARY. San Fkancisoo, J uly 3.
