The Evening Star. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1870.

We observe that Hepburn-street is under going a thorough renovation in the shape of 16 feet in width ; four drays being constantly employed in drawing earth, etc., in making ihe pathway. This improvement is certainly not befe _c it was wanted, and tha pedestrian on their way home ova da>'k nizht will not run the risk of turn ling into pit-falls, a? here tofore. We hope soon to see other improve ments in our much neglected surburbau thorougl far.-s.

The desire for notoriety must be supposed to be strong in some men's breasts, if we may judge from the following advertisment in a local contemporary : —" If the p;rty who was seen taking the Goat from Barrack Green, this morning, does return the same This Evening, and pay for this advertisement, his name will be exposed."

As will be seen from another column, H. P. Cohen, who rejoices in the appellation of ■' Cheap John" for short, is still in the " Ca-h Palace," dispensing comfo.'ts of the mos" mis etella: eous kind to those attending his levees. Announcing himself to sell "bankruptcy stocks," he certainly has fixed his prioes at rates that would not pay if his goods were procured in ordinary market ; but selling only for cash, he declares that he will not make those who pay suffer for those who don't, as is tho natural result of the credit; system. Anyone wanting anything included in the wide stretch of mercantile commodities reach ing "from a needle to an anchor" would do well to pay a visit to the " Palace" of " Cheap John."

The Thames Advertiser understands " that the Government are considering as to the ad visability of instituting a prosecution against the Union Bank for making a shipment of gold from the Thames to Auckland the other day, in contravention of the proclamation issued by the GovernriSent. It may also be noticed that tlie Fox-Vogel Mi dstry have made it a penal act to convey gold from Olii nimuri to Grahamstown, or from Coromandol to Grahamstown."

The annual meeting of: the Auckland Alli ance for the Suppression of the Liquor Ti.ffio will be held in the small rouin of the Young Men*B Christian Association, on Tuesday evening n«-xt.

Notice is given that Henry Richard Jury has become insolvent.— A meeting of the credi tors of Ci.arles William Sanders is fixed for the 4th of November.

An entertainment, consisting of readings, recitations, &C, was given in the Young Men's Christian Association last evening, in aid ol the Band of Hope Union Drum and Fife Band Fund. There was a poor attendance, but everything went off very well indeed.

Notice is given that the partnership hitherto existing between Carej, Gillos, Hunter and Co., h 9 been dissolved by mutual consent. The business, in future, will be carried on under the style of Hunter an i Nolan.

DIOCESAN SYNOD.

The Diocesan Synod met as usual on Friday. A considerable amount of business was trans acted. Among the rest,' it was decided -to raufi. a charge "of ten s illings for eaeth funeral in the Church cemetery-on a Sunday; and that fences in the cemetery around graves should not be more than three feet high. A motion was carried for holding a general meeting in Auckland at the next meeting of the Synod, at which papers shall be read. A long and animated discussion ensued in respect to the St. Stephen's trust properly. The subject was introduced by Mr. Boardman, who strongly deprecated the nonutilisation ot the trust property, and referred to the deter mination evinced to retake possession of it if not used for the purposes for whioh it was. granted. It was decide! to send a memorial to the Ministry to obtain power to lease for 60 years instead of only 21 years, as at present.

VOLUNTEER IN ELLIGENCE.

PRESENTATION OF PRIZES.

The presentation of the prizes won at the firing on last Monday and Tuesday, took place in the Albert Barracks yesterday afternoon. There was a very good muster of the men, who were put through various evolutions, which were creditably gone through. After the drill was over the men were formed into a square, when Captain Derrom presented the different prizes to the winners. Private J. W. Duff was the winner of the vase presented by T. L. Campbell, Esq. Captain Derrom said that he had hoped to see Colonel Lyons on the ground, but he had received a telegram

stating that the Colonel was very sorry, but that he could not pp's.-iblyjbe present. _The fine band of the Auckland:' Rifle Volunteets was present d'uriug the proceedings, and played various airs.

ARTILLERY PRACTICE.

The Naval Artillery held their second week l v big gun practice, at Fort Britomart, yesterday morning. The firing was at a target in the stream, 1500 yards distant, and was remarkably good. We understand that Friday.morning practices will be continued for some time.

POLICE COURT.— Saturday.

(Before Dr. Kenderdine, Reader Wood, and

G. W. Gwynneth, Esqs., Justices.)

Drunkennest.—J." Foreman, W. Gourley, Ellen McKeon, and D. Cargo, were each fined 5s and costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours, Assault.—James Eggington was called to answera charge of having assaulted Catherine Gorman, but defendant not having received the summons left at his place, and beiug ab -eut at the Bay of Islands, the case was ad journed till 12th November.—Mr. McGreggor lor the prosecutor. Quakrels of Boys.—Georgo Colgan was charged by Frederietk Lee with having as saulted his son, John William Lee, by striking him on the head, on the 25th October.—John W. Lee, a boy of about eleven years, deposed : I was crossing Wakefield-street when defen dant caught hold of me by the collar and shook me and beat me with his hand on the head. I never offended him. —To defendant • Never beat your boy without cause.—To tha Bench : I have had quarrels with his boy but never struck him to hurt him.—C. E. Hooper, another boy of same age as defen dant, deposed : I saw defendant shake and strike Lee. Colgan's boy had pitched stones at Lee, and Lee had knocked him down to take the stones from him. —To defendant : We ran, away because we thought you would come down and beat us.--Frederick L^e, the father of the lad, deposed that defendant had threatened to beat the hoy, and that he wan tad to have his children protected. Defendant eiitered into a long explanation, from which it ap peared Lhat-a-series of quarrels had being going on among* the children, and the bench stating that the case was a very trivial one, at once dismissed it.

Enlargement or Bail.—Mr. Rees appeared for Mr. H. D. Maddock to apply for enlargement of bail. In doing so Mr. Rees characterised the case as one of cruel vindictiveness and hardship. Mr. Maddock had various transactions in Dunedin with one Gleeson, who at present owed Mr. Ms lelock and his partner some £380. Mr. Maddoc-, who had left Dunedin in the most open manne'i had expressed himself strongly, with regard to certain pecuniary transactions by Gleeson, who had since sworn information ag unst Mr. Maddock, and obtaine ! a warrant for arresting him, and bringing him back to Dunedin on a charge of fraudulently con verting £359 of trust, moneys. Mr. Maddock had fortunately retained all docments in con nection with these transactions, and from a perusal of these, learned counsel characterised the charge as monstrous. The case was re manded till Tuesday, bail being enlarged.

Beveridge, Creighton, Dignan, Dyer, Douglas, Mitchell, Stratfotd, Shauafihan, Taylor, Ellis, Re.vburn, Sam, Philips, Hay, Hamlin, Gordon, Martin, Shepherd, Swanson, Freer, Hill. The Clerk read the minutes of the preced ing sitting, which were, confirmed. PETITIONS. Mr. Carleton presented a petition from David Kidd, ; Mr. Gordon a petition from John Murray; Mr. Reyburn a petition from Thomas Preston ; Mr Carleton a'so presented a petition from Valentine Oliver. These petitions relit ed to grants of land. Captain I'reer presented a petition from- certain brewers, praying that a sum of £20, impro perly paid into the Provincial Treasary, be c paid. On the motion of Mr. Carleton the Standing Order No. 25 was suspended, with a view to move that all petitions having re ference to private grievances be referred to tho Private Grievance Committee. R.th motions were put and carried. ~ " STANDING ORDERS. Mr. Brookfikld moved, "That- a Com mittee on Slanding Orders be appointed. Committee to consist of Mr. Speaker, Mr. Carleton, Mr. Creighton, Mr. Lusk, Mr. Maclean, Mr. Shanaghan, and the mover." On-the motion of Mr. P. A. Philips, tho name of Dr. Sam was added to the Com mittee. - -,; j 77 PAPERS. The Provincial Secii-TAky bid on the table the report of the Provincial Engineer on the Queen-street Sewerage ; also, a report of the Gold Discovery Reward Commissioners. The papers were ordered to be printed. , On the orders for the day being called, the Council proceeded to consider message No. 5, from the Superintendent, iv which His Honor informed the Council of his having extinguished the claims of Mr. Busby, by st payment of £23,000. The Provincial Secretary in a lengthened speech, moved, " That while this Council is of opinion that the award is fairly and justly a charge npon the colony, the arrangement made by His Honor-the Super intendent is expedient under the circum stances." The question was warmly debated and the following amendment was moved by Mr. Carleton, " That while this Council ex presses no opinion on the question whether the award should be made a charge against, the province or against the colony, the ar rangement made by the Superintendent was expedient under the circumstances." He would move that as an amendment to the original motion made by the hon. gentleman the Provincial Secretary. An other amendment w_s subsequently-moved by Mr. Ellis —"That in the opinion of this ouncil, the principle of compensation by the House of Representatives, iv the instance ol Mr. Busby's land claims, by shifting the lia bility from the General Government to the Province of Auckland, is unjust and arbitrary. That, recognising the wrong inflicted on this [provincethrough theissueoflandserip, by which !„ large proportion of tho waste lands of the province was threatened with absorption, this

Council is of opinion that, having regard to the principle" established, the, Superintendent has "acted 'precipitately in compromising Mr. tfusbv's claim without the advice of the Pro vincial Legislature first obtained." The dis cussion mainly turned on the fact of the set tlement having been made, and the money paid, without consulting the Provincial Coun cil, the Executive accepting the question as one of confidence. A motion of adjournment was defeated by the Ministry,, and supported by a majority of one, but at length, at nearly half past c even, the Ministry consenting,- the debate was adjourned till Tuesday.

It lias been reported in town this morning that a serious fire has oc curred at Ngaruawahia. We cannot vouch for the truth of the statement,

ARRIVAL OF THE ASTEROPE.

A SEAMAN DROWNED,

The ship Asterope—an old trader to New Zealand —arrived in harbour yesterday after noon, after an average passage from London of 100 days. The vessel is commanded by Captain Homer, and comes into port in a clean and orderly condition. She brings about 35 passengers, and a general cargo, the greater .portion of which is for Napier. Nothing calling for special mention occurred during the voyage, excepting That one of the seamen was drowned during a severe storm", while the ship wa_ running down her easting. During the first part of the passage the ship was favored with moderate winds, crossing the Line on the 31st day out, and the meridian of the Cape ou the 53rd day at sea. No land was sighted after leaving the-Start until making the coast of New Zealand. The Asterope left London on the 19th July, and had fine weather down Channel, taking her final departure from Start Point on the 23id. Fin. weather continued, and the island of Madeira was passed on the Ist August. On the 3rd of the same momh, in latitude 27 deg. N., longitude 23 deg. 50 mm. W., fell in with the NE. trades, which proved very light, and were lost in latitude 18 deg. N., longitude 26 deg. W. The ship was then detained for five days in the " doldrums," after which fresh breezes from the S.VV. and S. favoured her till crossing the Equator on tho 2_th August, in 25 deg. 30 mm W. longitude. The wind then .gradually veered from S S.E. to S.E.. the trades con tinuing moderate. They were carried as far as 25 deg. S. latitude, when the wind hauled to the northward, with rain. Thence had westerly breezes and fine weather until passing Tristan D'Achuna on the 9th September, when a fearful N.W. gale, with heavy sea was encountered for several hours. The meridian of Greenwich was passed on the 11th September, and that of the Cape on the 15th. Had strong westerly winds to the parallel of 30 deg. east longitude, when she encountered a strong N.E. and E. gale, which continued for three days ; thence had moderate westerly breezes till the Ist instant, when another severe gale from N.W. was encoun tered, with constaut rain and heavy seas breaking over the ship. During this storm one of the seamen fell from the jib-boom into the sea, and was drowned. The sea at this time was running mountains high, and it was impossible to render any assistance to the unfortunate man. Tha weather was also very thick, it being almost impossible to see the length of the ship. ' The Asterope ran down her easting on the parallel of 44 deg., which was characterised by moderate westerly winds md fine weather. The. meridian of Cape Leuwm was crossed on the 9th of October, and Tasmania on the 14th. Very light winds witli remark.ibly clear weather then prevailed for four days, when another stiff north-east breeze,- which subsequently increased into a gate, was met with, during which the ship labored, heavily. The wind then veered to north-west and west, and on Monday last, the 24ih, the Throe Kings were sight od. I'hence light variable winds and fine weather •.revailcd, passing Tiri Tiri at midnight on Thursday, and arriving in harbour yesterday afternoon. Passengers : —Mr. 0. G. Bouker, Mr. T. M. Lewis, Mary, and Hannah Lewis ; John and

Ann Smith, Mrs. Lipsteine, W. C.

J.

Tlierefore, the prices of drapery and clothing mustxome down to suit the times. The population must have clothing suitable for an almost tropical summer. J.
