Auckland, April 20. Arrived, at 2 p.ni.~- Mariposa, Captain Hayward, from San Passengers for New Zealand-Messrs W. 0. Birch, Yonughill, P. E. Miller, L>. J. McKoberts, and Miss A. Tucker. GENERAL SUMMARY. (European dates to April 4th.) ■ In London on March 18th a sensation was caused by the dbcovery of a crime that somewhat re; amble* tho notorious Goiillb murder in Paris. The scono was in Crafto:, street, in the Suh.. district, 11: the vicinity that the police recently r.u<e:d the Anarchist Club. An Austrian woman named Marie Hermann, well known as a night-prowler, rented a r.mall room in Grafton. On the night of March It!Hi she, in e-.>:np.-.iiy with an elderly man, was seen to i-.'A-.r her m-ni, i-Mih.sy.jiumily loud uiKirrclling was heard in i icrmanii s room* A man named iintchins, wuo lod"ed with Merman)!, found on the 17th blood ou a t.iuk. J lo spoke to tho woman about ir, and she passed tho mattor oil lightly,'but ou Saturday changed her

lodgings, taking better apartments in Marylebone. She took with her a heavy trunk, which she asked should be carefully handled. In the meantime suspicions were aroused, and the police forced open the trunk, and found the body of the missing man. His head had been battered, evidently with some blunt instrument, aud the body presented a frightful appearance. The clothing was drenched with blood. The woman Hermann was taken into custody, and charged with wilful murder. The body has been recognised as that of a well-to-do ex-job - coster named Stevens, 56 years old. It is believed that the woman had an accomplice, as Stevens was a muscular man. He may, however, have been killed while asleep. Prisoner is 44 years of age, and ugly almost ty repulsiveness. Mr Gladstone recently received a letter from his constituents at Midlothian, in which he was requested to represent the borough in the House of Commons. He wrote in reply declaring that his chief desire will be to follow the wishes of his constituents. He represents that " there will naturally be a change in my attendance in Parliament. I cannot yet judge how far my sight and hearing will disable my performing Parliamentary duties. As to the merits and demerits of my career, and certainly I have been chargeable with many errora of judgment, I hope I have at least been governed by uprightness of intention and a desire to learn." He then reviews his public life of 60 years, dating from Lord Derby's Reform Act, ,vhich he describes as the political birth of Scotland, aud the beginning of a duty which he had solemnly recognised. Mr Gladstone says his career has been a history of political economical, social, moral, aud intellectual emancipation. In numberless cases that had been brought forward in his time Scotland had battled for the right. " 1 am deeply convinced," he adds, "that until the iust demands of Ireland are satisfied as the House of Commons tried to satisfy them, neither legislation of any portion of the United Kingdom will be adequately met, nor will the Empire attain its maximum power, nor will its honour be effectively cleared of the deepest historic stain ever attached to|it." At a dinner given at Nice on March 31st, Mr James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald announced that he would give three prizes to be competed for at next year's regatta. Each prize will be worth £IOO. Baron de Rothschild then promised that he would give three prizes of £jsoo each for the same events. Viscount Deerhurst, eldest son of the Earl of Coventry, was married to Miss Virginia Bonyrig, step-daughter of Charles William Bonyrig, of California, on March 10th. Mr Bonyrig is a multi-millionaire. He worked as a market gardener in San Francisco, and his enormous fortune was made by a series of lucky coups in miuing stock in the early seventies. He is an Englishman and was credited with being a trooper in Lord Cardigan's brigade when he made the famous charge at Balaclava. Some people doubted this, but Mr Bonyrig never denied the statement.

An appeal was issued in London on March 20th for the purpose of raising £50,000 iu order to celebrate the jubilee of the Salvation Army. In connection with this jubilee General Booth proposes to begin a four mouths' army campaign in the United States next autumn. He also proposes an International Salvation Army Congress in June, and expeditions to Japan, Java, and Demerara. The Times printed on the 20th March a manifesto issued by the Irish National League violently denouncing the attitude of Lord Rosebery. A close watch is being kept on all foreigners and Englishmen in London a;;d Birmingham who are suspected of having Anarchistic tendencies. Early on March 11th the police made a raid on the foreigners' club iu Grafton street, Soho, a suburb of Birmingham. Thirtyeij;ht men were arrested aud taken to the police station, where they were examined with the result that all but five were discharged from custody.

Mr Joseph Chamberlain a 7 dressed a crowd of unionists on March 22nd. Be said that Mr Gladstone had left his successors a heritage of woe, and concurred with Mr Timothy Healey in the belief that the House of Lords ought to be dissolved.

AMERICAN SUMMARY,

The strike at Connellside, in the coke region of Pennsylvania, grows in importance, and new acts of violence are developed daily. At least nine lives were sacrificed within twelve hours ending April 4th, and unless the strong arm of Ihe military interferes, the dead will soon bo counted by scores. The first regular sermon ever given in Harvard by a Roman Catholic priest, was preached there on April Ist, by the Rev. Peter J. O'Oallaghan. His subject was '• Katioualism in the Faith." Mr O'Calh:*han graduated from Harvard College at the close of 1888, and is now a member of the Paulists, a Roman Catholic Order. The big ship Somali, one of the largest British merchantmen afloat, aud a tea packet, out 147 days from Hongkong with a monster .cargo of Chinese and Japanese teas, arrived in San Francisco on March 30th. Much anxiety was felt on her account. The south east trades carried the unlucky craft into a calm expanse of ocean, where for forty days she rolled slowly over 600 miles of smooth water. 1 lor provisions gave out, aud during the latter part of the voyage the crew subsisted on rice and tea. The diet was monotonous, but the sailors and officers grew fat on it. The carrying capacity of the Somali is 5408 tons, which is exceeded only by that of the French vessel La France.
