EXTRACTION

Friday’s Argus says - The warrant for the execution of the convict Sanders was received yesterday afternoon, at the Melbourne Gaol. He will be executed on Thursday next, the 31^st instant. Johnson is reprieved, and his sentence is commuted to hard labour for life, the first three years in irons. Sanders received the intelligence of his fate with composure, and though greatly cast down, appears to await the execution of his sentence with resignation. He is constantly visited by the Rev Fathers Moore and Lordan, and is very attentive to their instructions, and passes a great portion of his time, especially the night, in reading - sleeping but little.

Sanders. convicted of rape, was executed this morning.

Fatal Accident. - Mr Wm. Billing informs us that Samuel Sanders, of Angaston, (South Australia,) for seven years a resident of Creswick, lately on the Red Streak, met with an accident at Linton’s Diggings by being thrown out of his cart whilst going down a steep hill; the horse in running away broke its neck. Sanders died on Tuesday, the 12^th inst., in consequence of the fall. We are informed that the mates of the deceased opened a subscription list for the bereaved widow, and behaved very liberally towards her.

Thomas Sanders and John Johnson were charged, in the Supreme Court, before his Honor Sir Redmond Barry, with having, on the 20^th September last, at the Keilor Plains, committed rape upon Mary Egan. Both prisoners were found guilty and sentenced to death without hope of mercy.

The Banquet -

Host McKenzie, the new landlord, put on the table one of the best spreads we have had the pleasure of partaking of - everything was nicely cooked, the wines unexceptionable, attendants prompt in supplying the wants of the guests. Mr James McIntosh, J.P., of Dowling Forest, presided; supported on the right by the guest of the evening; Mr Lewis, CMCB; Mr Laidlaw, MBRB. On the left by Mr W C Smith, MLA; Mr G G Morton, CBRB; Messrs. Tomkins and Wotherspoon, of Raglan. The Vice-Chairman were - Mr T Bath and Mr J McPhillimy, JP; - supported by Mr James Baird, MBRB; Mr W Frazer, MLA; Mr D Gillies, MLA; Mr McLean, MBRB; Mr Cadden, MBRB, &c. There were also present Mr W B Dick, President of Glendaruel Agricultural Society; Mr Charles Seal, President of Ballarat Agricultural Society; Mr C L Little, JP; Mr F Everingham; Mr A McLaren; Mr Kinnersley; Mr Nimmo; Dr Creelman; Mr J H Mather, secretary to the demonstration; Mr A C Kerr; Mr Caselli; Mr McDowall; Mr Daniel Oliver, &c., &c. Mr Oliver, who officiated as toastmaster, ably performed his duties, and his excellent voice was frequently called into requisition in contributing to the harmony of the evening. Tasteful decorations and appropriate mottoes ornamented the room, which, owing to the wet weather, was not overcrowded, but nearly fifty persons sat down to dinner. Mons. Fleury conducted the musical department, accompanying and sometimes almost preceding the toasts, apparently from an objection to long speeches; as our space is limited we are compelled to abbreviate our full report taken of the proceedings.

After the usual Loyal toasts, the Chairman introduced the Army, Navy, and Volunteers.

Mr W C Smith, as Chairman of the Ballarat Rifle Rangers, responded.

The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, remarked that three years before he had, in that room, proposed Mr Service as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. That confidence placed in him was more than realised. Mr Service had proved himself the champion of poor men’s rights. In advocating the Land Bill, whilst in office, Mr Service was ahead of his colleagues. When the history of Victoria shall become that of a great and mighty people, the Bill for the Transfer of Real Property, introduced by Mr Service, will render his name famous. Lawyers opposed the bill because they said it would promote litigation; but who besides lawyers benefited by litigation? His constituents had solicited Mr Service to retain his seat, because, as their representative, he had done them honor and himself credit. It was proposed to invite Mr Service to a large banquet at Emerald Hill, as he belonged not to Ripon and Hampden only, but to the entire colony; we may well therefore, feel proud of him. [The Chairman’s speech was frequently interrupted by loud cheers.]

Mr J H Mather read the following address, signed by the Chairman:-

Sir, - Your constituents in the Minersrest and Burrumbeet divisions of this electoral district most heartily welcome you amongst them on the present occasion with feelings of much personal esteem and respect, and at the same time with feelings of pride that during your entire parliamentary career as their representative, while holding a very prominent position if the Legislative Assembly of this colony, your constant anxiety to promote useful legislation for the benefit of the whole colony, and your manly and independent conduct while both in and out of office have been such as both to merit and receive the approval of your fellow colonists at large.

Your constituents have heard that, in consequence of your intended visit to Europe, you contemplate an early resignation of office as their representative. Such information would at any time since your first election have been received with regret, but under present circumstances, with the prospect of several very important measures being brought into Parliament during next session, and with the recollection of your arduous and successful labors during the past session fresh in their memories, your constituents cannot but very deeply and sincerely regret that your present connection with them is about to cease at a time when the interests of their district, as well as those of all other country constituencies in the colony, require the presence in Parliament of Men of ability and experience as their representatives.

When your constituents remember that the present Ministry have promised that a District Councils Bill shall be one of the first measures introduced during the next session of Parliament, and that the whole of the country districts of this colony are deeply interested in the introduction of local self Government on a proper basis, they feel convinced that your past experience in the management of local institutions, as the first chairman of the first municipality created in this colony under the Municipal Institutions Act, would have rendered your presence in the Assembly during the passing of the District Councils Bill a very important advantage to the district, as well as to all other country districts in the colony.

While now bidding you farewell and trusting that your visit to Europe may be a pleasant one, your constituents venture to hope that your absence from the colony may not be protracted beyond a few months, and that the colony may then again have the benefit of your able and highly-appreciated services in Parliament.

Mr Service said he could not appropriate to himself all the compliments bestowed by the chairman. He mus disclaim the first place in settling the Land Question. Amongst those who had devoted more time and more energy was one for whom he entertained feelings of the greatest respect, as one of the most unselfish politicians of the day - he meant Mr Wilson Gray. In accepting their testimony for bringing forward the Transfer of Real Property Bill, introduced by Mr Torrens in a neighboring colony, he must state that in carrying it through he had received support from members on all sides of the House. (Hear, Hear - from Mr Gillies.) Would state one or two things of interest with regard to the measure. Much doubt had been expressed about the probable action of Government in making appointments under the Bill, as the success of the measure must hinge upon the manner in which it will be worked. His opinion was that the Government were determined to give that measure fair play. The first appointment would be offered to the first conveyancer in the colony, and other appointments made in unison. Mr Archer, the Registrar-General had told him he would work with a will, and make it effective. A large majority of the Government supported the measure, who with the exception of four members, were in favor of the bill. The chairman had said that gentlemen of the black robe and white wig were opposed to the measure; but he would give the devil his due, Mr Anderson, Mr Wilson Gray, Mr Edwards, and Mr Higginbotham supported it. So far as the legal fraternity were concerned the bitterest opposition came from Mr Ireland and Mr Wood. He regretted that he could not aid the District Councils Bill, but he did not believe that his absence would interfere with that bill. He thought the Government would make this one of their first measures, and that their financial statement would be based upon it. Looking at the number of members who had been chairmen of municipal bodies he believed the measure would be supported by all parties, the road boards consulted, and the expenditure of local funds placed in the hands of local bodies. His reception by this constituency about three years ago had created feelings of regard and affection. "Let not him who putteth on his armour boast like him who putteth it off." He was then an untried man. Felt pleased at the demonstration, which showed that he could. Was impressed that he would soon be tired after leaving the colony, and be soon back again. Intended to leave for relaxation, and throw business and politics to the winds. He hoped their political would be changed into personal friendships, and that at some future time he would meet those whom he would be glad to call his friends. [The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.]

Mr C J Little proposed - " The Parliament of Victoria" in a humorous speech, received with tremendous bursts of laughter.

Mr Gillies, MLA, and Mr Frazer, MLA responded. Mr Gillies believed that if public men more frequently met with approval their duties would be much better performed than they are at times. But very few sessions of Parliament have performed more real work that the last.

Mr James McDowell, in a capital speech, proposed "The Agricultural Interest," which was ably responded to by Mr Charles Seal.

Mr G G Morton felt sure that "The Mining Interest" would recommend itself without much comment. It had made the prosperity of the colony, and in ten years increased the population from about 80,000 to half-a-million. (Cheers)

Mr Frazer, MLA, Said all the former ill feeling between miners and other parties had died away, as it was understood now that the mining and agricultural interests must work together. (Cheers)

Mr J Laidlaw gave the "Commercial Interest." Acknowledged by Mr Kerr.

Mr James Baird, in proposing the health of Mr Service’s supporters in other parts of the district, said that no one ever regretted asking him to come forward.

Mr Joel Tomkin and Mr Wotherspoon responded.

Mr W Frazer gave " The Ballarat Road Board."

Mr Morton (Chairman of the Board) replied.

During the temporary absence of Mr McPhillimy from the room, Mr McDowall introduced the toast of "The Learned Professions."

Responded to by Dr Creelman and Mr Casselli.

Mr Kerr proposed the health of Mr Nimmo, the friend of Mr Service, whom he accompanied on his journey.

Mr Nimmo made an excellent response.

Mr S Cadden gave "The Ladies."

Replies by Mr D Oliver, (a witty speech) Mr Lewis, Mr Mather, and Mr Everingham.

Mr T Bath proposed "The Press," which was acknowledged by Mr J Francis for Creswick and Clunes Advertiser, Mr Clarke for The Star, and Mr Lockitt for The Tribune.

Mr Service, in proposed the Chairman’s health, paid him a deserved tribute for his conduct that evening, but especially as a staunch friend of his.

Mr McIntosh briefly replied.

The healths of the Vice-Chairman were given - that of Mr Bath by Mr J Baird, and that of Mr J McPhillimy by Mr Service. Both gentlemen responded.

Mr W C Smith paid a just compliment to Mr J H Mather, the secretary to the dinner committee.

Mr Mather said he was always happy to further any public object.

Mr J McLean, in giving "Success to the Glendaruel Society," complimented Mr W B Dick as the originator of this year’s proposed Champion Ploughing Match.

Mr Dick responded.

The following healths were drunk:- Mr D Oliver’s the toastmaster; Mr Lewis, Chairman of Ballarat Council; Messrs Kerr and Co., proposed by Mr Morton; and that of Host McKenzie given from the chair.

The National Anthem brought the proceedings to a close between twelve and one o’clock.

For want of space we have omitted mention of the individual songs, but Messrs. Kerr, McDowall, Seal, and Dr Creelman, in addition to Mr D Oliver, (a host in himself,) contributed greatly to the pleasure of one of the most agreeable celebrations it has been our lot to witness.

The Body of Thomas Stubbs, the other missing man, was yesterday found in Hepburn’s Lagoon. An inquest will be held either to-day or to-morrow.

Mr Burton, solicitor of this town, has filed the following schedules at the sheriff’s office, Ballarat:- Daniel Sullivan, brickmaker, liabilities £103 2s 3d; assets £48 15s; deficiency, £59 7s 3d.

Mr Ebenezer Syme, one of the proprietors of the Age Newspaper, died yesterday afternoon, at half-past two o’clock, at his residence in St Kilda. For a long time back Mr Syme has been in a declining state of health, and his decease was therefore not unexpected. The prominent position Mr Syme occupied in connection with local journalism, for the last five years, is well know to most of our readers. Previously to his becoming connected with the Age, he was one of the writers for the Argus. Many of the ablest articles on the principles of constitutional government which appeared in that journal whilst the Constitution Act was under consideration in the old Legislative Council were from his pen. He represented the district of the Loddon, in conjunction with Dr Owens, during the whole course of the late Assembly’s existence. Prior to his coming to this colony, Mr Syme was engaged in writing some of the literary articles in the Westminster Review. He was unquestionably a journalist of much higher than average abilities, and strong original powers.

EPITAPH ON THE POET TAYLOR

Toll the bell with muffled tongue,
For this departed son of Song,
Who, like many more both better and worse,
Didn’t mend his fortunes by making verse,
He had his faults . . . . . Reader, confess!
Can you I pretend to less?
Let these, with his dust, be laid in the tomb,
And his virtues alone in our mem’ries find room.

The late distressing Accident. - Up to yesterday (Thursday) afternoon the bodies of Thomas Stubbs and Arthur Taylor, who since Sunday last are missing, and who, no doubt, found a watery grave in Hepburn’s Lagoon, were not yet recovered. Every endeavor was used to trace the remains of the unfortunate men; rafts were constructed and grappling irons brought into requisition, but without avail. The paddle which was used for propelling the boat was found floating on the lagoon, as also a piece of indiarubber, the property of Arthur Taylor. A powder flask and some catables - the latter very likely destined to serve as dinner to the missing men, were found deposited under a tree. To show the frail nature of the boat in which the accident must have happened, we may mention that a man who intended to use it for the search whilst stepping in was almost capsized.

Fatal Accident. - We refer to the letter of our Smeaton correspondent in another part of our columns, who informs us that Arthur Taylor, a youth of about 16, the younger son of Mrs Bradley, of Kingston, and Thomas Stubbs, a carpenter by trade (a Swede) who on Sunday morning went in a boat shooting in Hepburn’s lagoon were up to yesterday (Monday) night not heard of. The boat was found among the rushed, bottom uppermost, and it is feared that, whilst being upset, the two men were drowned.

I have to record a painful occurrence which took place yesterday on what is known as Captain Hepburn’s Lagoon. It appears that a Mr Thomas Stubbs, a carpenter residing At Kingston, had a boat constructed for the purpose of duck-shooting, and yesterday, at daylight, in company with Arthur Taylor, the younger son of Mrs Bradley, of the Kingston Hotel, set out for that purpose, carrying their frail boat with them. The boat was made of pine, about nine feet long, and two feet wide, and about one foot deep at the sides, with an incline to the middle of about two-and-a-half inches, rather wider in the centre than at the ends, and is described as being much the shape of a coffin. As neither of them returned by sundown, anxiety was aroused for their safety, and, as no tidings were heard of them during the night, the worst fears were excited, and early this morning several persons proceeded to the spot to endeavour if possible to ascertain their fate. Rafts were constructed, and the lagoon searched in all directions. It was not long before the boat was discovered bottom uppermost among the rushes, abut no trace of the bodies or any vestige of clothing has yet been found. During the day a large number of persons surrounded the lagoon, doing what they could to assist in the search, but, unfortunately, no effective means of dragging the water were resorted to. With proper appliances, it would most probably have been approved to a certainty that of which there is at present little doubt. It would have relieved the painful anxiety which is now felt by the friends and relatives of the missing parties. To-morrow morning we believe, proper grappling irons from rafts constructed for the purpose will be brought into requisition, but the immense quantity of rushes will make the search very difficult. Thomas Stubbs has long been known in Kingston. He was a Swede by birth, and is reported to be a very steady man. Arthur Taylor was a youth about sixteen, but apparently much older. He was lately in the employ of Mr Macey, who speaks in the highest terms of his character, and, in fact, he was a favourite with all who knew him. The feelings of Mrs Bradley at the loss of such a son can be better understood than described.

DEATH OF THE FATHER OF THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN PRESS. -Mr Robert Thomas, who printed the first newspaper in Adelaide, died on Monday last, aged 79. Mr William Kiffyn Thomas, his son, is now and has been for many years prominently connected with journalism in the same city.

Obituary. - On Tuesday last, the mortal remains of Louisa Thompson, aged 5 years, were conveyed to the Cemetery. The body was followed by a numerous retinue of friends in vehicles, and by equestrians and pedestrians, most of whom were attired in mourning habiliments. I understand, as indeed would be inferred from the respectable procession, that the memory of the deceased was held in high esteem. Two members of the family had been suffering from the same complaint (dyptheria) that she fell a victim to.

New Insolvent.- Roger Dodwell Thompson, of Creswick, solicitor. Solicitor, Mr Geo Baynes, of Melbourne. Cause of insolvency - Pressure of a judgment creditor and inability to collect debts owing to insolvent at distant parts of the colony. The judgment creditor’s claim disowned, and too expensive to journey to Gipps Land to plead a set-off to which insolvent is entitled.

New Insolvent. - William Thompson, of Lake Learmonth, hotelkeeper. Debts. £539 1s; assets, £36; deficiency, £503 1s. Causes - Pressure of creditors, losses in business and sickness.

Funeral of William Henry Trevan. - On Thursday evening last, Richard Trevan of this town, received intelligence, per express, that his brother William Henry Trevan had been killed by the falling of a heavy mass of rock, in a claim of Simmond’s Reef Company, at Blackwood. He at once - although at a distance of 42 miles - made arrangements to have the mortal remains of his relative brought over to Creswick. Mr Dennis, proprietor of one of the Ballarat coaches, undertook the task, but unfortunately, about seven miles before reaching Blackwood, one of the horses dropped down dead, and had to be replaced by another one. The party eventually reached Blackwood, on Friday, just after the inquest on the body of the deceased ( and on the body of James Nankervis, killed at the same time) had been held. The mortal remains reached Creswick on Sunday at 1 p.m. and were committed to the grave the same day at 2.30 p.m. About 200 persons, several of whom were on horseback and in carriages, formed part of the funeral procession. In the absence of the Rev Mr King, Wesleyan Minister, who had to hold divine service at Kingston and Bullarook on that day, Mr T Cooper of Albert Street, was requested to conduct the religious ceremony. Mr Cooper read the funeral service in a very impressive manner, and after the singing of an appropriate hymn, the whole was concluded with prayer. Deceased, only 23 years of age, was very much respected.

An Imposter. - A young man, Samuel Tringrove, alias Samuel Tringrove Can, alias Richard Roberts, was yesterday brought up at the Police Court, charged with imposing on the Prince Of Wales Lodge of Odd Fellows by false representation. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, who, under the name of Richard Roberts, had only a few days ago received from the Ballarat Lodge £1 12s 6d to enable him to proceed to Sandhurst, had, on his arrival at Creswick made the sign of distress, and was, in consequence, accommodated with board until the first meeting of the Lodge on Wednesday, when, in consequence of secret information received, his case was investigated. It then turned out that he was an imposter. He was given in charge by the Provincial Grand Master, Mr Jones, and sentenced by the Bench to three days imprisonment, with the caution that if he was brought up again under similar circumstances he would be dealt with under the Vagrant Act.

The schedule of John Turner, Clunes, Miner, was filed in the Sheriff’s office on Thursday. Liabilities, £ 100 18s 8A d; assets £ 5; deficiency, £ 95 18s 8A d. Causes of insolvency, losses in mining and farming operations, want of profitable employment, and pressure of creditors.
