The Evening Star. TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1870.

Thebe can be no doubt in any sane

man's mind that the Colonization scheme of the Government, however modified, will become the policy of NeW Zealand; and that we are on the eve of the expenditure of an enormous amount of borrowed money. But while the scheme is evoking testimony that it will be received with very general approval, one fear seems uppermost in every mind, and every one asks the question, will the expenditure be ho nestly devoted to the professed pur poses ? It must be owned that a fear so generally expressed cannot be and is not without grounds. The corrup tion of If ew Zealand politics not only stinks in the nostrils of all the other colonies, but is an abomination to our selves, at least to those of us who do not either at present or in prospect 'share in the blessings of the, golden showers. In a colony whose Parlia ment can be bribed without any viola tion of the spirit of the constitution, and any restless representative can bo gagged with a billet from the hands of the ministry, and still retain his seat to do the bidding of his purchasers; where facilities to log-rolling un exampled are introduced into the, deliberations of the House of Repre sentatives by the provincial factions of our curious constitution, —in such a colony, and in such circumstances, and with such a history, the prospect of the scattering about of a million golden sovereigns per year for ten years to come, may well make the stoutest heart quail. A consciousness of our national shame seems to have possessed the ministry in making a proposal that the expenditure should be in the hands of a kind of Commission, which is sure to manifold aggravate the evils: which it proposes to repair. It has been well said of such Boards that they have neither bodies to be kicked nor souls to be damned; and there cannot be a doubt that if tile responsibility is thus divided, the expenditure of the coming millions will make the past history of New Zealand to be, in comparison, honesty personified. Had we but an Aristides, his i single head could, with these millions, make, New Zealand,; the ' proudest dependency of England ; and the nearest approach to safety would be tb commit the business to one' strong haftd, directly responsible: to parliament. If that .; ■ parliament purged iis own pollution by prohibit ing any'member, saving the Members of the Executive; from holding a seat in it j( whose hand touched public monies, either in salary, fee or contract;, if it <lid bo. with. esprit de corps, and jeajojisly for its hoilor, the main grounds of public fear would be removed.. And if, thereafter, a Minis- ; ter 6$ Public "Works was exclusively charged with this department, the roads, and railways projected would be veny; directly under the control, of parliament, and the best guarantee that pur institutions can afford, would be,given to.the public for the honest expenditure of "the loan. Of course ,the addition of a new portfolio to the cabinet would be greeted with execra tion by all the small Joseph Hiirnes !in the colony, and the " penny wise,

pound foolish." method of leaving millions to be expended recklessly and; without responsibility,, will be advoca-; ted in preference to the creation of a. department' afc;v-the .cost of a. few thousands to efficiently control the expenditure7 of so '•many1 millions. But with such department and with a vigorous sweeping put of. the Augean stables, and a measure exclud ing ministerial pensioners from seats in-ithe legislature, there ia. 110 reason virhy politics in New Zeaiaud;- in con nection with state expenditure should not be as resoectable as elsewhere.

On yesterday a circumstance occurred in the Police Court requiring notice. One of our local magistrates laid a charge of obscene and violent language against a prisoner. On the commencement of the ca3e the .Justice was sitting on the Bench beside two brother Justices. Without leaving the Bench, but standing up, he gave evidence, and again taking his seat beside the other magistrates, the case was adjudicated, and the prisoner sent to gaol for three months. We do not say that this gentleman was not warranted in giving his evidence from the Bench. We

do not say that ,he communicated with the other Justices, or influenced their decision. Ou the contrary, we believe he did not, and that the case would have had the same result if the oi-di nary course of witness-bearing had been observed ; but we do say that the prac tice is reprehensible. The prisoner is a wild unruly member of society, and has his proper home at Mount Eden, but none th? less has he—and the public, too — the right to feel that he ia being impar tially tried; and the humour, which he could not conceal, was really excusable at proceedings which, to say the least, had. a farcical appearance. We say this in no unkindly spirit towards the geitletuan prosecuting. On the contrary, from haviog recently severely criticised him, we had a hesitancy in alluding to this matter; and his action, in bringing the case before the Court, where so many others^in similar circumstances, shirk their duties of citizenship, was becoming to him as a gentleman and a mngistrate. But we do think that, for the sake of ap pearances, and to give no cause to shake the feelings of reverence foi the law and the faith in its justice, even of the most ignorant and unreflecting, it is more becoming for a magistrate when appearing a suitor, to doff the commission for the time, and take his place on the floor of the Court as au equal with the defendant in the eye of the law. We are glad to welcome back to the les;al profession Mr. George Eodgers. We understand that his term of engage ment having expired with Messrs. Jackson and itussell, it is now his inten tion to practice on his Own accouut, as a solicitor, conveyancer, and land-agent, aipd from his well known ability and ex perience in,these departments, we have no doubt that Mr. Rodgers will ere long meet with that success which ho undoubt edly deserves.

We learn that the members of the Gourlay family leave by the Jveera to morrow for Napier and tne South. We are sure that we express a very general fealing when we wish the utmost possible success to these popular favourites in their* Southern tour. The pleasing enter tainments which they have invariably given, tho excellent impersonations and singing of Mr. and Mra. Gourlay, and the charming acting of Master Johnny and tlio winning little Minnie, have left in Auckland very pleasant recollections ; and we are sure will produce the same effect wherever this talented family maj appear. Thkatke Royal.—'This now popular place of amusement, was again crowded in every part last night, and we arc. sure that'the patrons were amply regarded by the performance of the new Star Com pany. The beautiful and touching play of " Easj; Lynue," founded on Mrs; Wood's ndVe'lfof thdt namei was produced, in which Miss Joey Gougenheim sus tained the two-fold character of Lady Isabel, and Madnme Vine. It is, we are suro needless to comment upon Miss Gougenheim's representation; suffice it to say that the interest throughout the whole piece was unflagging, Miss Gougehlieim being honoured by two calls, and loudly applauded. Miss Shepparde as Barbara Hare', looked the character and played remarkably well, while Miss Melville as /Cornelia, was simply an immense piece of acting, although, only a small part, this lady j made it stand out as a very pro minent -one of sths piece. We think there are few^sucll gjood " eccentric old women" as Miss Melville in New Zealand. Mr. Hayner as Archibald Carlyle, played in his usual gentlemanly and skilful man ner, while the other characters were done justice to ,by the other members of this really good company. The farce of "My Precious Betsy" concludedtlieperforman.ee To-nighi; The Ticket-of-Leave-Man is to be produced with Miss Gougenheim as May JSdwards, and Mr. Eayner as Robert Brierley.

Two men, named Coyle and Reify, both shareholders in the claim, had some dispute about iridhey inat tßrs, and after somo strong language, it is said ■Coyle struck ifceily dn the back of the neck; throwing hiat 'down. , Some or the other men on the claim separated them, after struggling for some time, and Eeily was going away, when Coyle caught him by the collar of his coat, and after swinging him round once or twice threw hini from,him over a terrace said to be between 90 and 100 feet high. The mania-hen taken up Was insensi ble and scarcely able to speak, his head being cut in several places, and his body badly bruised: He was at once taken to Ilia own house (the Crown Hotel), where lie noff Ue§ in a very precaripii3 state.

PARISHIONERS' MEETING ST.

•SEPULCHRE'S CHURCH. The annual meeting of tho parishioners of St. Sepulchre's was held last night in the church, at half-past seven o'clock, the Rev. B. Ti Dudley in the chair. There was not a large attendance of parishioners. Mr. Biggs read the annual report;, which was most satis factory, the av.iount raised from all sources and for all purposes being nearly £600, and the number of communicants had considerably increased. Through tho efforts of several ladies and gentlemen belonging to the church, a series of entertainments had beeu got up in aid of a school building .fund, which had now accumulated to a considerable amount. Mr. Hill read the financial statement, which, showed that for ordinary purposes the sum of. £4)91 9s 4d had been raised a small balance being on hand ; £140 had been raised for extra-parochial purposes duringj the year. The following gentlemen were elected a Church Committee: —Messrs. Johtl Batger; R. O. C. Eigcs, J. A. G-ilflllan, John Kelly, S. W. Hill, H. H. Lusk, Or. P. Pierce. J. H. Spicer, A. Morro3v, and "W. Matthews. Messrs. John Batger and R. O. C. Biggs were elected auditors for the ensuing year.

THE CARANDINI CONCERTS.

Crowded housesj still fill the City Hall nightly, and last night was no exception, the Hall being comfortably filled. It is indeed surprising to see in these times, so many amusements bo exceedinly well supported, and we are sure that the Carandini family must be more than satisfied at the support they have received during the past two weeks. An excellent programme was gone through last evening, the ladies being frequently encored. We again remind our readers that to-morrow Miss Fannie takes her benefit, when we doubt not but there will be a crowded house, tho larger number of the dress circle seats being already

BITTEN BY A BLOODHOUND—SHOCK ING DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.

A melancholy, and iv many respects singular death from hydvopliobia occurred yesterday morning, at Yoi;k<.-r-, Westrhester county, where the uorrifnng circumstances are at pre sent engrossing au unusual share of att-ention. To medical men it is another , terrible illustrition of tllef fact that although the poison conveyed in tho bite of a rabid animal may remain dormant in tho system for an indefinite perjed,, its power to torture and destroy life does not deteriorate. The victim, Thomas Lamb, who was in his 24th year, wus by trade an engineer, and em ployed at a foundry in the Tillage named throughout which, he was well known, | as a trustworthy, industrious man. During last winter, while employed in a brewery iv a neighbouring Tillage, deceased was bitten by a ferocious bloodhound, owned by his employ er, and although the wound iniiicled by the fangs of the brute was not very severe, the animal was at once dispatched, and the affected part having rapidly healed, the occurrence was soon forgotton by the deceased. On Tuesday of last ; week-, deceased was united in marriage with a young, woman hvhope mother had bitterly opposed his attentions to her daughter. Having by the exercise of a little strategy realised their matrimonial wishes, the married paii' had scarcely reached the dodu'eile of the v bridegroom, when tho mother of the bride made her appearance, and sifter, on her knees, imploring curses and vengeance on the luckless couple, fervently prayed that her daughter might be " a widow in less than three months." It appears that the diabolical imprecations of the mother had a most depressing effect on tho minds of the young people, and on the following day deceassd evinced symptoms of the awful malady, the seed of which hud been sown in his system some months previously. Medical skill was resortod to without avuil, and !on Friday,, the wretched man, in one of his pavoxjsms, escaped from his attendants, and after reaching somo open lots, displayed cat like agility.in bounding over i fences, and other-;' wise disporting like an.ianimals. He was* subsequently secured by two of the Yonkers police, who found it necessary to handcuff the madman,-on arriving at his home in Brook street. Either the sight or sound of water would throw the patient into .the • mos}; agonizing convulsions, and as the malady developed itself he would bark like a dog, snarling and snapping at those who were near' him. He continued to grow more violent and dangerous, ,so> that many hours before his dissolution, it was deemed necessary to bind him with, .strong; cords, and in. this, condition, his struggles, shrieks and liowls were truly sho.cking,.imtil death ensued as abo'v.custated.rrr-.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF INFANTICIDE.

Recently a woman named Foley, residing in Melbourne, gave birth to a female child which after lived for a few hours, was found beside her iv bed dead. "Mrs. Fok-y, at the birth of the child, was attended bj a nurse named Sprong, aud the nurse was present when it died. Dr. Blair had attended at the coofine ment, and shortly after birth the child had been transfer?jd to the care of the nurse .Sprong; the indthe'r watching the proceedings of the nurse, and, as she alleges,- saw her wash "the child's head with brandy, and pout down its throat; castor oil and gin. She had an idea that the castor oil-and gin was an impropriety, but had tacitly yielded to the superior know ledge and more extended experience of Mrs. Sprong. After the nurse's programme had beon exhausted, the child was placed beside the mother, and she fell asleep. The nurse also lay down nnd went to sleep. The husband of Mrs. Foley getting up at an early hour, had gofle into the yard, and was startled by a loud scream from his hansei On going' in, he found his wife with tlie child dead, declaring that rhe'nursa had killed ib, arid tho nursj denying in' strong' terms she had done anything wrong. Dr. Blair was immediately sent for,, and the child vta« interred on his certificate that it had died of." debility." Mrs. Foley, however, it seems, had hir n'us glvings and has be'in since much given to deplore tho Joss of tho child and blame the nurse. 'At length something seems to have come to her ears regarding the death of a child of Mrs. Sprong's daughtei', aufl tlieu she openly de clared that Mrs. Sprong had Ml led her child, Mr. Sprong alleging by way of reply that »lie (JVfra. Foley) had herself smothered the cliild. These things at last came to the ears of the police, and Dr. Youl, the coroner, after receiv ing a formal report, had the bodies of both children exhumed yesterday and examined. The exhumation of the bodies was a sickening spectac-le. Dvt Neild attended sit the ceme tery for the'purpose of making & post-mortem examination. From ono common grave no less than twenty-six infantile bodies were lifted before the two wanted were reached. They were enclosed in all sorts of wrapping, and every style of ooffin from, the decently pre pared little covered chest, to the coarse, unplained, deal board case, and one little tiny shred of mortality had been sent to its kin dred dust enclosed in a soap box. The result of the enquiry was thafc the daughter of Mrs. Sprong was committed for trial on a coroner's warrant for' infanticide.

THE SAIN FRANCISCO MAIL SERVICE.

The following is an extract' front a letter of. the Hon. C. J. Pharazin's to a gentleman in Wellington :—" I have .arrived at the conclu' sion that for the present we shall not make any impression on the M'Culloch Ministry as regards subsidy to Webb's San Francisco line of "steamers, since the* last advices, informing us that a subsidy of 500,000 dollars from the United States Government is likely to be granted. I have persuaded Collie to reduce his terms. He now offers to do the service for £30,000 from Victoria, and £20,000 from New Zealand, Wellington being the port of call; this is conditionally on- the States paying £1)00,000. I called on M'Culloch this morning' with this proposal, but could make no impression upon him. He is bent on ocean steamers via tho Capo to do the service in "45 days, and cannot see any advantage in.- this; American i line. I thini' people here are favourable to it, but you can not get up any demonstration amongst,such a large population, as you can in a small com munity like Wellington. We shall try Sydney, and as the delegates for the Conference are here, Collie will .be able to make some .progress before going thero. He has already had an. interview with them, and has stated that New Zealand /will never grant a.. subsidy unless Wellington be made the port of call. He seems to think that, although, he will haye a smaller passenger traffic by going v to Sydney, he will save considerably in coaling* I should like Fitzherbert to learn what I have written,, as well as* other parties interested." Pray is Mr. Collie the, representative of the New Zealand Government? ;The . imperti nence of some.people is perfectly astounding!. If the above were not on a par with the whole course of the conduct of the Wellington dele gates, we should be inclined to think that Mr. Pharazin had lost his senses. t , ,'
