———— ee THE FENIAN ANTIPODES. A Big Filibuster Scare in Australia, A Sham Fight at the Mouth of the Harbor— Murders—Political Affairs—The Fiji Islands—Naval Rogulations. Sypvey, New South Wales, March 31, 1871. The Secretary of State, who, in “Downing street London,” acts as the presiding gentus of the more distant sections of the Britisn emptre, is responsible for having concocted the most absurd scare that €ver disturoved a community, caused thousands of Pounds to be uselessly expended or excited the mar- tial ardor of you.g Australia to something more than fever heat, 1 gave a few facts about it inmy last letier, but something further is needed fora full explanation, Absurd as it may seem, it 18 not she less true that by the matl steamer which arrived on the 14th instant the governors of all the colonies received duplicate telegrams, dated London, February 16, stating that “the Secretary of State for the Colonies nad received intimation that a Muoustering expedition was being fitted out in America fora raid on Australia, and intended at- tacking the cities of Dunedin, Sydney and Mel- bourne!’ Sir James Martin, the present Premier of this colony, is truly a fortunate man. Three years ago his Ministry was in a position Known in Colonial parlance as ‘shaky,’ when some good fairy came to is ald and whispered Fenians. ‘he effect ‘Was magical; political dissensions were forgotten; the estimates were passed; moneys scandalously expended were voted without a murmur, and for a time the ship of state sailed upon unruftied seas, Again Martin is in power, again in difMfcuities and again the recipient of extraneous and unlooked-for ald. What Fenians were in the past filibusters are At present, and Martin is the sismarck of Australia, He has availed himself of the position to condone for past errors of extravagant und useless expendi- ture, Tne possibilities of a war wita Russia, which were rumored a few months azo, warranted the outlay of a few thousand dollars in placing the har- bor forts in a state of efMiciency. Political jobbery demanded tifat something more should be dono; the government acquiesced and ‘he money was spent, How to obtain the sanction of Parlia- ment tor these proceedings and save expulsion from office was beyond executive comprehension, Micawber never waited more anxiously for some- thing to turn up, and turn up it did in the shape of the aforesaid telegram. A jubilate was chanted, and Richard—himself again—was not more particu. Jar in giving instructions preparatory to Bosworth Fieid than lawyer Martin in calling forth his trusty Warriors to resist the filibusters. A stranger enter- ing Sydney Head on last Saturday afternoon would have been puzzled to account for what he saw and heard; very probably would have asxed when the War broke out, or whether the people had ail gone mad. It was by viceregal proclamation a public holiday, specially devoted to manning the forts and other harbor defences. From gray of dawn till high noon companies of volunteers were seen Wending their way to the wharves, from whence Plied miniature sieam transports, by which they ‘Were conveyed to their assi,ned posts on either side of the narbor. Excursion steamers, laden with thousands of spectators, followed two special cruisers designed to represent the filibustering in- vaders, The Goverpor and party occupled one; embers of Parhament and friends filled the other. th were amply stocked wilh provistous, wines, &c., provided from the public funds, and the attacks Of the knights of the knue, fork and corkscrew car- ried off the honors of making the only irresistible attacks of the day.

A iinger is placed on the handie of a lorse telegraphing instrument, thousands of tons of water are disturbed, aud a column rising to the height of 150 feet, surmountea by irazments of the boat, gives occular demoustration that the daring invader has paid the pena!ty of his temerity. The closing scene of this costly farce opened with the appearauce of the steamers between the Heads, The batteries are manned again, to be aguin envel- oped in smoke of burned powder; 2,000 riflemen, supported by the crew of her Majesty’s Clio, Keep ap a continuous fustlade ai phantom boat expedi- 4101S, and, as the steamers proceed up the harbor, the city batteries join in sustaluings the din, ihere ‘Was one feature Of tie affair Which will tend to make it remmemvered by the government astronomer, if by no one else. ‘The leaders of our brave defenders ‘with befitting ignorance placed two Armstrong guns in the Vicinity of tie observatory, and the concas- sions which followed their discharge e:tuer damaged or irretrievably ruined sclentiilc tastruments which cannot be repaited and replaced at a less cost than $25,000 to $5,000, The exact amount will be ascer- tained prior to the termination of the mlibuster war, and form an item of the bill of indemuity. Since then the citizens of Sydney have slambered securely, conscious that if invaders should come they will either wait under the foris to get slaughtered or place themselves over @ torpedo to be sent out of tae ‘world in a lofuer manner, THE NEW TARIFF. A matter of much more importance to many of our readers #8 an alteration in tue fiscal policy of lew South Wales to which Parliament nas assented.

Colonial Governorships are becoming more re- spectable positions than they were deemed afew years ago. Victoria was the first favored by bein, ranted a lord instead of @ barouet. New Sou! wles received au earl instead of a knignt, and now jneensiand is to have the Marquis of Normandy, ice plain Mr. Samuel Blackall.

He is also charged with countenancing the designs of the rebel chief Maafu, jt whose instigation the mountain tribes are fn arms and lately massacred the mbhabitants of one of King Thackambau’s towns, Latest advices say they contemplate an attack on Levuka, and that the gertiers had formed rifle ciubs for mutual defence.

The Commodore of tae Australian squadron recently de spatehed Her Majesty’s ship Rosario on a cruise to inquire into former chargea which, if then dealt with, might have been the means of pre- venting later occurrences, Unfortunately on her arrival at Jiji her commander mixed himself up With the quarrel between the Consul and the settlers, ‘Wasted a couple of months and then returne't to Syaney. ‘ihe presence oi an American mau-of-war in these waters would be hailed with satisiaction. Her Majesty's steamer Olio, bearing Commodore Stirding’s pennant, has put tu here for repairs, hav- ing harrowiy escaped total! loss on the coast of New Zealund, The southwest shores of that colony are deeply indented by arms of the sea, which are termed sounds, and In exploring one of wem, Known 4s Bligh’s, the vessel struck & pinnacle rock, tearing away planking and timbers along her bilge for a space of fourteen fet, On one side of the ship soundings could not be obtained at 20) tachoms; the other side rested on the rock, and through her broken timbers the water rusied in such a volume that it required the efforts of ail the crew and the sieam pulnps to keep her free. On eiher shore of the sound the cliffs rose perpendicuiarly, in some places reaching an altitud» of 2,000 feet, capped by snow, and no human settlement nearer than tity miles. The position was not a pleasant one, For- tunately Dr. Hector, the wellknown scienilst, was on board, and volunteered to make bis. way across the mountains to obtain assistance. He was suc- cessful, aud by the ald of divers the leak wis temporari stopped. The Imperial government purposes the esinblishment of a naval depot at this port, and in future seaworthy ghips will be vaid off here instead of having to return to Kugland, Her Majesty's steamship Blanche will be the first to come ander th.s regulation, her new crew being now enroute from Portsmouti.

Needy representatives Were found to be disposed to accept bribes and the wealthier ones to have @ constant itching for oftce. Asa corrective to this state of things the leader of the conservative party proposed that a salary of 1,500 per annum be pald to each member of the gisiative Assemby. A Dill to that effect wa3 passed, und the first elections held under its provi- sions have just taken place. The sumber of candi- dates was unusually large, new aspiranis for place and pay being numerous as leaves in Vallambrosa, The returns show that nearly all the old members have been returned, and where they have been re- jected the change has not been for the better. ‘Among those who lost their seats are two of the abilest politicians in any of the colentes—the Hon, George Higginbotham and the Hon.

Sentinel comes to us with along account of the fatlare of the Bank of Tru- mansburg. Some time m February last persons who had money in the bank experienced difficulty in get- ting it. Suits were commenced, which Asa B, Clark, the vresident succeeded in geiting discontinued. On the 15th inst. concealment of tue unsound condi- tion of the bank was no longer possible and at that tume the Recetver, previously a pointed, laid before @ meeting Of the creditors a statement, By this state- mentin substance was conveyed the fact that Clark (President), bought gold to tue amount of $27,000 at lorty-nine Ceuts premium, and bougnt over $70,000 at about forty to forty-five per cent premium. Paid for carrying gold tuterest from tive to seven per cent, Brokers comuussion from one-eighth to one quarter per cent, ‘The bank lost by the depreciation in gold over $59,000, Many Ree people who were depositors are robbed of ail they had. From a Statement of account obtained from the American Exchange Bank, tarough which he made his pur- chases of gold, it is found that Olark made loans of that bank as _ follows:—No- vember 1, 1863, $54,000; November 9, 1869, $47,000; May 26, 1870, $12,000; June 1, 1370, $2,000. This makes $115,400 loans through that one New York bank since the last of 1868. From the figures in pos- Session of the receiver 1 is evident that Clark has fougat we tiger of god to the extent of some $148,000. The speculations in gold began some tume in 1867, At the meeting of the creditors on the 13th inst, 16 Was fuund that the habilities of the bank were probabiy over $52,000, All the claims were not presente at that time and some claims have veen Tonnd which were not upon the books of the bank, Against these habilities is the banking house ana lot and Nxtures and @ small amount of cur- rency, some good notes, more very poor ones, and other insignificant property, which, after all is adjusted and expenses paid, may amount to $2,500, Says the Sen/tnel:—It will be seen from this statement, carefully made from all the facts we have access to, that tis man Clark, who has been considered aria and honast, has deliberately in- dulged in gold gambiing with money which he had no moral right to use—money nard earned and be- longing to nen and women who can ily afford to lose it. This money is jon re no prospect of re- payment. The reports of the condition of the bank, as published in our paper for the last five years, do not bear the same look as when viewed without the light of recent developments. Among those who have been friends of Mr. Clark, to-day there are few who will own to being such. A RIDE TO DEATH. Two Unknown Men Killed on the Camden and Amboy Railread. Two respectably dressed men were killed on Fri- day might, about nine o'clock, at the Monmouth Junction, on the Camden and Amboy Railroad. The men had stolen aride on the freigut train, which was on its way from Philadelpiia to Jersey City, and when tho train was shurfted into a sid. ing to allow passenger trains to pass they were found and ordered to get off. They started on the road towards New Brunswick, and when a short distance from the Junction were caught be- tween two passing passenger trains and were both kuled. The body of one of the men was dashed against the fence by the side of the track, and two panels of the fence were broken by the cole lision, The other man was living when found. The train was roped and assistance was rendered. It was decided to take the surviving man to Trev- ton, and a telegraph message was sent to Dr. Cole- man, of Trenton, to be in readiness to receive the sulterer, Before, however, the charitable idea could be put into execution the man died. Yesterday the authoritits could not ascertain the names ot the men who thus met with a sodden and awful death. SINGULAR CASUALTY IN A SUGAR REFINERY, A Man Killed by the Bursting of a Water Pipe. About seven o'clock on Thursday morning a sin- gular and fatal accident occurred in the sugar re- tinery of Messrs, Brunjcs, Ockershansen & Co., 464 Washington street. For ten years past Diedrick Kruse, a German, forty-two years of age, has been employed in the refinery, his business being to take charge of an iron pipe some four inches in diameter used for conducting the Croton water from a large tank on the roof to the lower floors. This water is used principally for cleansing coal used in the refining process, At the time of the accident Mr. Kruse was working at or near the pipe on the flith floor, when it burst, broke completely of, and @ heavy portion of the Pipe fell on his arm, fracturii it badly and injuring him internally. Mr. Kruse, who lived at No. 535 Greenwich street, was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he dicd on Friday after- noon from the effects of the injuries, Uoroner Keenan, who has the case incharge, gave permis- sion fur the removal of the remains to the late resi- dence of deceased, In order to obtain information as to what caused the pipe to explode the investiga- tion was postponed for a day or two.

The sound seemed to come from the south and tomove northwardly. The stone fell in the field of Mr. Bean, the flying earth being seeu by Mrs, Buck, who Itves near. The hole that it made was soon found and the stone dug ont!, It Was quite hot and broken, 80 tt could be removed only in pieces. ‘The most of it is now in possession of Mr. Luce, who dug it out, Tho outside shows plainiy the effect of melting heat. It struck with such force as to penetrate the hard soil to a depth of two feet. The stone 1s of a grayish color except upon the outside, where it is quite black. It is just twenty-two years, to a day, since a similar stone fell at Castine, It was much less in size and penetrated two inches into a hard, dry road. It came from the southeast and was ac- companied by a report that was heard at a distance of thirty miles, The occurrence of these phenomena 13 as old as recorded hisiory, and they bappen tn alt parts of the world. Sometimes the stones are of Immense size, One In South America 18 estimated to weigh 80,000 pounds, and there is one in Yale Col- loge that weighs 1,000 pounds. These stones have all one composition, iron being aon Ay Dt pest ingredient, combined with nickel, conpel mag: nesium, aluminum, 40, cine THE INSURANCE CONGRESS. THIRD DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Addresses by H. A. Oakley and President Savage, of the Underwriters—Dinner to tho Con- vention by the Equitable In- surance Company. The Insurance Congréss again convened yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, at the rooms of the Fire Underwriters, Nos. 156 and 168 Broadway, President Miller in the chatr. By invitation of the Convention H. A. OAKLEY, President of the National Board of Underwriters, addressed the Congress upon the results of the fire insurance business in this State. He read from a printed address he had delivered on a previous Occasion various tables showing the amount of capt- tal invested, the agzregate losses paid and pre- miums received, showing an aggregate in favor of the New York State comparies. He also gave a table showing the losses and premiums from inland insurance during eleven years. Tho estimates showed that in the inland business there was a loss of between nine and eleven per cent m the twelve years, and consequently not more than one-third of the insurance capital could be preserved to the country. He urged the Conven- tion to carefully scan these tables, and requested that fifty per cent be demanded on outstandmg pre- muum for jess than a year. The following extracts are made trom his remarks:— increase in the aggregate of dividends 00 to 18 05-100 in 18/0-the latter the re- remarkable exemption {rom losses e: sult of th perlenced by all the companies in 1660—while the grand aggregate of dividends to capital ts facreased from 10 29-100 m 1903, as the Fesuit ot tho averaze of mlue years, to 10 98100 10 18 the average for eleven years, Table two shows the average feeb of losnes to pre- miums to bave increased to the New York companies from 3715-100 ta 1669 to 5» 37-100 In 1310; of companies trom other States from 65 11-100 in 1869 to 62 25-100 in 1570; the Scgregute of all showing an. increase from 60 5-100 in 1569 to 63 68-100 in 1870, while the wrand uggregate of losses for the eleven years’ {s 68 7-100 agains 6.46.10) In this same connection | would call atteovion to the fact that from the ollicial returns made to Parliament by all of the companies doing busiuess in Canada it. appears that there were received, ion premiums. in 138, $ HM 3: pald for losses in 07,88, or cent, in 1670 “premiums, — §1,58,547, an losses $1,540,272, or 89 25.100 per’ centy a difference of 36 75-1u0 per cent between the two years. The year 1869 shows a lower averngo of losses to premalums than any year except 1¥63; while 1870 is only exceeded in ita average by 1865 and 1866—years notorious tor great and disustrous Josnes, Should the remainder of 1871 be as productive of losses as the firat four months have bern, the average of the present year will fuily equal the two disastrous yenrs referral to, ‘Table three shows that there has been an increase of ‘per centage of expenses from 22 34-100 per c 1865 to 33 14-100 fo 1:69 and $4 25-100 in 1870, making the erage ay:gre- gate 30 97-100, thus exhibiting ady increase in the per- centage for every year since 1862.

As the amount paid out for dividends during the sume perio’ was 1$52,9.6,0:4 99, it shows that avery large proporttan of the interest on investments was necessary, In order to meet these dividends, leaving but a moderate amount as additions to surplus diiring this long period, ‘able four—With reference to this table I find th ability of the compantes to write, which in 1260 was for every dollar of I ‘was {ucreased in 1889 to 2. fi a $199 99, very far below the average of the eleven years, which is $214 06. Mr. WALES, of Maryland, offered a resolution declaring it proper that companies doing business in other States should present to auch State an exact copy ol the financial statement by them pre- sented to the insurance officers of the Stato under which they have their charters, that the insurance ¢ mmissioner in such State shoula be considered the better Judge of the securities and investments constituiug the assets of such company, and that the Lommitiee on Blanks be requested to give the subject their con- sideration, and if in their judgment it be found practicable to embody in the blank forms to be sub- mitted by them a form of certificate, under the hana and seal of the Commisstoner or other ofiicer in charge of insurance in the State under the laws of which they hoid their charter, certifying that the said report is a proper and correc: Gnancial condi- tion of said company. Referred to the Committee on Blanks.

F. HARVEY, of Nebraska, moved that the con- vention recommend to the Legislatures of the States the adoption of provisions of law similar in eftect to the following:— First--That no person or company should be permitted to issue policies upon tho Ives of citizens of the States unless upon a specific premium, of which so much as will cover the cost of insurance due for the current year, according to the State standard of mortality and interest, should be collect able by cash in advance. Secont—That no company shall be permitted to issue poli- cles on lease within the State unless its table of rates shall be ceriitied to as suflicient for the completion of the policy contract proposer, such certificate to be made by an actuary to be designated by tha Snperintendent of Insurance of tho State fa which the company is organized; and the verifica- tion of such tables of rates shail be made upon the same as- sumptions of mortality and interest as were used by the company gn its original computation. Referred to com- mittee. It having been announced that the foreign tnsur- ance companies doing business in this country wished to be heard before the,Convention, Monday ‘was nanied as the day tw receive their suggestions, President SavaGE, Of the Boura of New York Fire Underwriters, addressed the Convention by invitation, defending the astern insurance companies, against which there was a prejudice, in the West, He declared that statistics showed that the Eastern companies business in oll patd more money in losses in most States than they se- cured in premiums; that some of the legislative en- actments of Western States were dis- grace, and he instanced Wisconsin, which com- elled any company doing pusiness there to le a bond that they would not appeal to the Supreme Court in contesting claims. An an Hilustration of the advantages on the side of the State, he deciared that the Aitna of Hartford had done business thirty-one years in Kentucky and twenty years in Missouri before they received a dol- lar in recurn for their Investinents over expenses, Mr, Row, of Michigan, oifered the following, which was referred to the Comuuttee on Invest- ments; Whereas the laws of several States require insurance com- panies to make investment of funds only In the State where organized, and whereas such enactments tend to increase Tetaliatory ant azgressive iegisiation, Resolve, That atch restriction as ‘to investments are un- wise and unnecessary, and that freedom to make safe and profitable Investinetité in any oF all States be allowed. Mr. PoYNE, ‘rom his Committee on Assets and In- vestments, offered an unofficial report for the con- sideration of the Committee of the Whole, and re- quested that it be not published by the reporters, who Were instructed as to their duties by President Miller. At half-past one the Congress adjourned, to enable 1ts members to accept the hospitalities of tne Equita- ble Liie Insurance Company, at’ the buliding corner of Cedar street and Broadway. At two o'clock the delegates, escorted by an officer of the company, arrived at the Equitabie Insurance building, where they were received by the President, Mr. William ©. Alexander, who es- corted them to the parlors, where a recherche lunch. ‘was awaiting them. The presiqent of the company presided and Mr. H. B. Hyde acted as vice chair- man. On the right of tne president was General Miller, State Superintendent of Insurance, and on the left ex-Vonfederate General Gustavus W, Smith, delegate from Kentucky, After paying their com- pliments to the rare dishes set before them President ALEXANDER Srose and formally wel- comed the officials to the hospitalities of ma com- pany, and called upon them to drink the health of the President of the Congress—George W, Miller— in pure Croton water, the onl, uquid, he deciared, that the company patronized, ne toast having been honored, Superintendent Miller responded, S taking for ms text an editorial appearing in an aiternoon Paper, in which the Convention were advised not to accept of too much yn | irom Insurance officials, lest they might be placed under obligations to companies. Mr. Milier took occasion to declare that the delegates were gentlemen who could accept of courtesies without sacrificing their indepencence, and could return to their deliberations and decide the weighty matters of the Convention im partially. ie complimented tne company thal was entertaining tiem for the high degree of pros perity it had m the past enjoyed. The next toast, “President Alexander,” Was given by Secretary Olcott ana responded to by Mr. Alexander in an able and happy speech, in which he set forth the ad- Vantoges of life Insurance in asuceinct Manner and declared its mission to be to succor and re- heve declining age and enable its beneficiaries to rise up and call it blessed. Mr. Henry Alex- ander, counsel for the company was toasted and briefly responded, as were also Mr. Harvey, of lin. nois, Mr. Phillips, and James W. Alexaauer, one of the vice-presidents of the Equitable, Mr. H. BR.
