The Evening Star. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1870.

It is worthy of notice how the principles of protection to native industries are asserting themselves all over the colonies. Although a protection tariff has been temporarily thrust aside in New Zealand its adoption is inevi table. Victoria has for years been develop ing ber resources under the influences of a wise Customs' tariff; it has become the battle cry of the popular party in Queensland, and we observe, by the mail just arrived, that the colonies of South Australia and Tasmania have both imposed protective duties. New Zealand is generally the last of the group to adopt progressive ideas, and like the ballot and Torrens' Act, protection must do battle with the predominant and characteristic " old fogeyism." It does seem unaccountable that with all the enlightening influences of colo nial life, ther-3 are still those to be found who will not see how circumstances alter cases, and cannot shake themselves free from the lessons instilled in early life, as adapted Lo a state of things wholly different. The sturdy manhood of Victoria has attracted general attention, aud the colonies are appa rently not too proud to folio tt in the same steps.

Two men named Walker and Tomlinson have had a very narrow escape from drowning, by the upsetting of their boat off Shelly Beach. The former being able to swim, placed the oars under the arms of Tomlinson and floated him ashore in safety.

No little attention was attracted this morn ing at the appearance in Queen-street of an immense and beautiful new cart loaded wiih lemonade and kindred beverage, belonging to Mr. Sutton. We are evidently not all given to tippling strong drinks, and the style in which Mr. Sutton feels warranted in present ing himself to the public speaks not only of his own success and enterprising spirit, but a growing appreciation of wholesome and pleasant drinks on the part of the public.

The Theatre Roval last night was fairly attended. The entertainment, which is of a varied and interesting kind, consisting of music, gymnastics, <&c, is continued nightly.

The Prince of Wales Theatre was well filled last night, in a benefit to Miss Evans. " The Greek Maiden" and "Turn Him Out" were produced, giving much satisfaction. To-night Miss Evai.s reappears in " Marie Stuart."

The terrible monster of Piako has turned out to be nothing but an old woman. The " sell" bus served to relieve the monotony of life at the Thames, and has done nobody any harm. Through the courtesy of a neighbour, we have been favoured with a photograph of the " Tupuna," as it appeared to the imagination, and cannot wonder at the ex citement caused by the Maori gorilla—the " latest discovery at the Thames." We would suggest to the enterprising photographer to obtain a likeness of the veritable old lady that has inspired such interest, and accom pany the photograph with a brief biography ; or have we not a Barnum here ? In the same cage with Mere Kuru she would draw.

It will be remembered that subsequent to the late election for the Provincial Council at Coromandel, 3ome representations were made to the Colonial Secretary respecting the con duct of proceedings. In consequence of these we are informed that the Colonial Secretary has appointed Thomas Beckham, Esq., a Com missioner to investigate matters, and that his Court of Enquiry will be held at Coromandel in about a fortnight's tir.i \

By the s.s. Auckla^ 1, w.iich left yesterday afternoon, for Sj -npy, Harris, the man charged with embezz iug £650, the moneys of the Bulla Shire Council, Victoria, was sent over to the Victorian authorities. He was accompanied by Mrs. C'assidy, who sticks to him throughout his difficulties.

The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Junction Gold Mining Company was held yesterday afternoon, at the office of .he legal manager, Mr. A. Boardman, Shortland Crescent. The directors' report and balance sheet, as well the mining manager's report, were read and approved of. The mining re port was of a highly interesting nature, and it is expected that a good dividend "ill be p;iy a.ble at the next crushing, to take place in a few days. Mr. Thomas Russell was elected a director in the place of Mr. T. S. Weston retired.

The members of the Auckland Rowing Club will hold ( their annual meeting at the Thames Hotel, at half past seven this evening.

Madame Carandini announces thai herself and company will give two farewell concerts at the City Hall, previous to their departure by the Wonga Wonga for San Francisco.

The anniversary tea-meeting in connection with the Edwardes-street Primitive Metho dist Sabbath School will take place on Tues day next.

Mr. Theodore Wright, from Victoria, will preach at the Christian Meetiag House, Cook-street, on Sunday evening, at 6 o'clock, subject:—" The Gospel, what is it ? "

A meeting of the officers of the Royal Arch Chapter, will be held in the Chapter Room, at half past seven o'clock this evening.

We learn t at it is the intention of His Ex cellency Sir George Bowen, accompanied by His Honor T. B. Gillies, Esq., to visit Wai uku on Tuesday next. The party will leave Onehunga in the Luna, on the morning of that day, and will arrive at Waiuku about two o'clock in the afternoon, when they will be glad to meet any of the settlers who may desire to be present on the occasion. Thb party will return to Auckland on the follow ing day. We have no doubt that our Waiuku friends will be glad to see that they are not forgotten, and we are sure that His Excel lency will find much to admire and approve in the fertility of the neighbourhood and the progress in settlement which has been made.

Four hundred sacks of mails from England, en route for Australia recently passed over the Pacific Railroad, showing (says an Ainer can correspondent) that this route from the United Kingdom to its Australian Colonies has been put into practical operation, as the shortest and probably the safest.

We understand that the captain an 1 officers of the U.S. s. Resaca were entertained at dinner at Q-overnment House yesterday eve ning.

DEPARTURE OF THE RESACA.

The U.S. war steamer Resaca as we goto press is getting underway on her voyage to Valparaiso. Since her arrival a very la-ge number, of our. citizens have enjoyed hospitality of her officers, and it must be owned that the first American war vessel which has been in our harbour for many years will have left very pleasing impres sions behind her. In the uncertain state of our future political career, it is advisable that we should cultivate the most kindly re lations with the United States, and from the present policy of England there could worse things befal New Zealand than to have the Stars and Stripes yet floating over Govern ment House. To our American cousins we bid a cordial farewell, with sincere wishes for their happy voyaging. The Volunteers from Fort Britomart, under the command of Capt. Guilding, have thundered forth our adieus in the accustomed salute of seven guns, which was replied to by the Resaca dipping her Ensign ; tint vessel, from the number of her gun", being precluded by the rules of the Navy, from firing a salute in return.

POLICE COURT.— Saturday.

(Before H. D. Morpeth, and A. K. Taylor,

Esqs., Justices.)

Drunkenness. —J. Shiers, for a fii-st offence, was punished in the usual manner; and U. E. Cowen, for a fourth offence, was fined 20s. and costs, with seven days imprisonment additional. Two Maori women, Mary and Caroline, were fined eocb 205., and to be im prisoned 48 hours for being drunk and disordei-ly. Vagrancy.—T. Greene pleaded guilty to having used obscene language in Queen-street, and was fined £5, with the alternate of one month's imprisonment.

Assault. —J. Norman was charged with having violently assaulted Mrs McLerie. Mr. McGregor appeared, and conducted the case, with great ability for complainant. Elizabeth McLerie deposed to the facts of the assault, and to her having been struck violently several times by defendant with a stick, on the night of the 29th nit., and to his having threatened to murder her. The Bench con sidered it the most aggravated case that had appeared for a long time, and sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment with hard labour, and to give security himself in £50, and two sureties of £25 each, to keep the peace for six months. Municipal Police Act.—J. Wilson, plead ing guilty to having no name painted on his cart, wus fined 10s. and costs, or to be imprisoned seven days. J. Brock, pleading guilty to having left bricks on the footpath of Upper Queen-street without receiving autho rity, was fined in the same amount with similar alternative.

The Court then rose.

FENCING ACT,

To the Editor of the Evening Star

Hik,— The present I think is a very fitting time t > say something concerning the Fencing Act, as the Provincial Council will be sitting shortly, when it is to be hoped something will be done to remedy this crying evil. Very few seem acquainted with the actual nature of this ptatutc, and the bad effect it has upon the community, and the drawbacks it produces to bona iide settlement. I will succinctly state the evils of it. Ist. It prevents the settler with a small capital from settling upon the land granted to or purchase.i by him, on ac count of his liability at any time of being cuil-d upon by his neighbour to fence, or pay his portion of the fence, aud his inability to do so, and his consequent ruin, should his neighbour proceed against him at law. 2. should the settler require a little capital for the purpose of stocking his land, the refusal he would be sure to meet with on account of the liability of the lender at any time being called upon to fence. 3. Should the settler have laid down his land in grass without fenc ing, his want of protection against the en croachments of his neighbour's, or any adven turer's or squatter's cattle. I might add much more, but I think this sufficient to show tho injury the Fencing Act is doing this country. I may .ay from my experience, which is not limited, that the fencing of land does not increase its value materially.—l am, &c, G.R. Wellington-street, Sept. 30, 1870.

THE MAORI GORILLA.

We are sorry to disappoint our readers, more especially with reference to any interesting question in natural history, but it now appears that the reported Maori gorilla is no gorilla at all. In point of fact, the M iori gorilla turns out to be an old woman. Professor Huxley must therefore wait for some time for the con firmation of the development theory by the ciscovery of the " missing link." We cannot give him any assistance. The statements which found their way to the public on this subject give but a faint idea of the wild rumours afloat in the town on the matter. We under stand that two gentlemen went over to gel, this most notable creature for public exhibition, and after a long walk came to the place where she was kept. There they were shown a poor old woman, who really, in some respects, is as great a curiosity as the gorilla itself would be. yhe has been as she is, it seems, beyond the memory of all who know her, and has at tained, it is said, the patriarchal age of 175. How this estimate has been arrived at we do not know, and so cannot guarantee its cor rectness. Her hair has dropped off, except a smalL tuft at the top, and, altogether, she is such a wonder that the gentlemen who went to buy a gorilla would willingly have made terms for her if her relations had permitted. — Advertiser.

Two elegant ladies were put out of the theatre recently at Florence. They were not content with endeavouring to compel the King, who was in the next box, to talk to them ; but upon his declining, they opened the door of his box and walked in. Liberty, Sisterhood, aud Equality!

A reporter for one of the New York daily pape-s, in speaking of a young lady lecturer, says : —" Her floating skirts of whiteness and lightness, her tiny pinched waist, her pretty little white kidded feet, her pink roses, her baby hands, and her fizzles were not un pleasant to the eye."

THE SUPPLE SHOOTING CASE.

Judgment was given in the Supreme Court in the case of the Queen v. Supple, who was charged with the murder of J. S. Walshe. The point reserved at the trial was whether, as the shot by which Walshe was killed had been fired accidentally and not by design, the pri soner could be found guilty of murder. The Court was unanimously of opinion that the prisoner was properly convicted. The general rule of law was admitted that if the prisoner had not been .engaged in any felonious pur pose at the time the shot was fired he ought to be acquitted ; but their Honors considered that the facts showed that the prisoner was engaged in a felonious object, namely, an attempt to murder Mr. G. P. Smith, and therefore upheld the conviction. On the following day the prisoner was sen tenced. On being asked what be had to say why sentence should not be pronounced on him, the prisoner replied thus :—Some years ago, I quarrelled with George Paton Smith, in consequence of his scurrilous abuse in a newspaper of my country. I knew he was the writer. I was the only Irishman on that paper at the time, and I resented it; and I consider that he is not a man who would not resent an insult to the honor of his country. From that time he commenced against me a system of slanderous attacks. I never had reason to complain of such a thing as slander till after my quarrel with George Paton Smith. His character as a slanderer is well known in this country. There are none in this country who can affect to be ignorant of his character as such ; and, in consequence of the impunity which he has suffered, he has found abettors in his system of professional vilification, and there are now men here who will undertake to hound down any one, either by writing or by word of mouth—stabbing, so to speak, in the dark. Two years after I quarrelled with George Paton Smith, Mr. Walter Monro Wilson, my brother-in-law, one of the noblest and most gifted men who ever had the misfortune to live in this coun try, was also calumniated, and through me. In this colony there is no check on the slanderer. As everybody knows an action for libel is of no use. The persons who pursue this practice pride themselves on the skill with which they calumniate a man's charac ter behind his back, so that he does not know whence the poison comes—pride themselves on the skill with which they can avoid an action for libel. What check is there for this state of things ? None. The duel is not allowed here. There are evils, no doubt, at tendant on the duel, but they are small in comparison with the evils resulting from its ab sence Civilisation ! They call that civilisation where nothing is felt to be higher than a good dinner and a large bank account, and slander has ceased to be regarded as a crime. I have not been brought up in such sentiments. I have always been taught to regard the assassin of character a.a reptile and a mean hound. These are my sentiments. As for me, I hope to give up my life cheerfully in its cause. Death on the gallows is supposed to be a disgrace ; but it cannot disgrace me. I shall confer honor on the gallows. I have to thank my counsel for their general exertions on my behalf. I am very grateful to them. I wished to leave this country, and I am glad to leave it at last—even though it be by the gate of death.

TO THE TRADESPEOPLE OF AUCKLAND.

Listen, oh, ye Auckland people ; Your city magnates are abroad ; Strike—ye must—your old church steeple ! Your Hags, your poles, your old sign-hoard! Know yo not the street protector— (He who is the beau ideal Of a nu-i-sance Inspector, Emptied from the " Corpo's" creel)— Has received most strict instructions ?— (Privately, of course, you know); But it's stninge how these instructions Are transferred from " So-and-so." Thus I heard, as I was drinking " Tommy Dodd" at I'erkin's bar :— Auckland city fast was sinking, 'Cause there was no -Maori war ! And that, for tho city revenue, " Grist must come unto the mill," Therefore, " on them lay the venue— " Go it, Young, with true good will." Thus instructed, straight unto Cosgr.wk went th' Inspector man, Vowing thai he'd soon undo Cosgrave, (_o., e nd all the clan. Then he thought he'd change his role— Having struck at higher game- Straightway to the barber's pole Went this man of nuisance fame. " Barber," said he, " strike your polo !" " No ; I'm hlow'd if that I Co !" — Said the man of barher-ous soul— " ' Not for Joseph'; not for you." Straight, then, to the city " Corpo" Went poor Young, with downcast looks ; " Summon !" echo'd from the force, O— " Summons issue from our books !" When before the Bench he came, This poor barber with his pole, "Motley" is the fitting name JFor the " group" who there control. With stentorian voice the crier Bawls out "silence !" to the crowd ; But, alas ! the laugh grew higher, Making Young look very proud. Then amidst most serious thinking, Occupying all the ileiich ; " Fined live bob !" (tho same as " drinking" Ditto for a drunken wench.) If contempt can thus be brought On your Court and Magistrates too, Blow me from Britoma.t fort If I care to dwell among you. Vie r out an.

" Tear-em," or " Pepper," as he was familiarly called, suffered greatly during the latter part of his illness, which, wa? primarily caused by bowling. He was one of the Australian eleven.
