The Evening Star. TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1870.

By the arrival'of the Bella Mary from FTobart Town, this morning, the cause of acclimatisationis advanced by the valuable addition of brown trout ova, bronze winged pigeons, brown quail, and a number of rosella parrots.

City Hale. — The Carandini concert last night, originally intended as a benefit to the Mechanics'lnstitute, and generously handed over by the committee to the relief of the widows and orphans bereaved by the loss of the Tauranga, was in the highest degree creditable to the people of Auckland. The house was crammed beyond the bounds of comfort, aod the concert was eminently satisfactory. We believe a very substantial sum will be added by it to the funds of the Belief Committee.

'I o-night Mrs. Walter Hill takes her benefit at the Prince of Wales Theatre, when we hope to see a bumper honse. Mr. Walter Hill will appear for this night only, and Mr. Connor Roach is to recite an Irish comic story, entitled " The Rival Poets."

There was an excellent attendance aty the Theatre Royal last evening, when the " Old ( hateau" was j reduced, Miss Gougenhiem and Mrs. Harry Jackson sustaining the principal characters very successfully. "Whitebait at Greenwich" concluded the pvening's amusement. TH". nvnthly parade of the Auckland Nhvhl and .aval rtillery Volunteers is postponed until I riday next. A meeting >'f the members of the Auck land Band of Hope Drum and Fife Band will take place on Thursday evening next.

THE CITY BOARD.

The monthly meeting of the Board was held yesterday. A petition was presented, asking for repairs iv William-street, which was o-dered to lie,on the table. The sum of £60 was 01 dered to- be paid to Mr. Bartlett, on account, of the town clock. An application from Mr. Morrison, to lay certain portions of the footpath with asphalt, on certitin .terms, whs' not conceded. An iron safe was ordered to keep the city reords. The tender of Mr. At kin, for print ng, was accepted, and £_.'0 a year added to the salary of the Inspector of Weights and Measures, for services under the Dangerous Goods Act. Two landslips in Wellington-street and Constitution Hill were committed to the attention of the Fore man of Works, and the Board adjourned.

LOSS OF THE 'TAURANGA.'

THE PASSENGERS

Tbe following is the correct list of all on board the ill-fated Tauranga, so far as at present known. It is earnestly to be hoped that it will not require any addi tions to the sad roll from subsequent information : —

E. V. Bolger, master, single; J. D. Munroe, mate, married, 5 children ; Wm. Harwood, engineer, married, 1 child ; Wm. Devaney, fireman, mnrried, 2 child ren ; Charles Jobson, fireman, unmarried ; Geo. Oldham, trimmer, single; Griffith Fritchard, A. 13., single; Chas. Law, A.8., married, 1 child; W. E. Eansome, AB., single ; Wm. Forster, A.8., married, 2 children ; Wm. Hahn, steward, married, 6 children ; Christopher Keynolds, cook, single ; W. W. Clifford, cook's mate, single ; Wm. Eell, assistant steward, single.

8-Tloon Passengers—Mr. Hector ; Mr Wall.

steerage Passengers.—Mr. Land ; Mr Waiters.

Reynolds was supporting his mother, who was entirely dependent upon her son. Eeil was a son of Mr. David Kell, of Albert-street, and was late in the employ of Mr. Goff, Bay of Islands.

THE SEARCH

It is pleasiDg to observe the prompti tude with which a search has been insti tuted, to discover any relics of the s.s. Tauranga. The steamer Challenger, chartered, rt a very low figure, from Messrs. "Holmes, left this morning at three o'clock, and the Customs' cruiser, Ringleader, starts from the ihames to day. It will be a melancholy satisfaction to the bereaved, and allay the anxiety of the public, to know that the most thorough ■ioarch around the shores and adjacent is land* will be ma !«• ; although it would be but hoping against hope to suppose that any nvinti thing of all on boaru the I au ranga will ever teiuru to tell the tale of disaster.

VESTIGES OF THE TAURANGA.

The master of a coasting schooner ju<t •inived, reports that off Wangarei he passed through floating cases and other articles evidently portions of a wreck, and there are grounds tor believing that they may cast up from the hull of the Tau-

ranga

POLICE COURT.—Tuesday.

(Before J. Naughton, J. Newman, and G. B. Owen, Esqs., Justices). DRUNKENNESS. John Johnston, a very old man, was charged with drunkenness (a third offence). As he appeared to be very ill from the effects of drink and the infirmities of age, was ordered to be sent to the hospital. MUNICIPAL POLICE ACT. T. Freeman, charged with having his chimney on fire, on July 29, was fined 5s and costs. IMPOUNDING ACT. D. May, charged with allowing three cows to stray in Symonds-street, on July 24, was fined 5s and costs. LARCENY. George Given and Richard Given were charged with having, on the 22nd Tune, stolen from the Manukau, 5,000 feet of sawn timber, value £25, the property of William Brimner. Mr. Bennett (for Mr. Brookfield, who was detained by illness) for the prosecution; Mr. Wynn for the defence. William Brimner deposed: lam a carter, residi- gat Onehunga. About the middle of May the Challenger schooner was wrecked at the Manukau Heads; she was loaded with timber, on her way to Lyttelton. I saved about 25,000 feet, and carrying it from a quarter to half a mile, I stacked it in a gully on the coast, and leaving a man in charge of it, I came to Onehunga. I tried to find an owner, but could nov. I went down to the timber and took what was there to Onehunga. We had counted each day's carrying in stacks ; they had amounted to 24 or 25,00.1 feet. Found that on my return there had been removed about 5,000 feet. Saw a portion of this in a creek within half a mile of Given's house ; saw none of the timber in the posses sion of defendants. From what I had heard from the man in charge, I went to look for the timber. That which I discovered was like the timber which I had. This was seven or eight miles from where I had stacked it. I o Mr. Wynn : I went to Onehunga to Captain Synionds to lay the information, and was told I could only bring a civil case; it was then that I came to Auckland. The man I left in charge is called " cranky Jack." Have not been able yet to find an owner. I en quired at the Customs, they said they had nothing to do with it. I have made every p< ssible enquiry. I asked at the Cornwallis Saw Mdls where the timber came from, and they could net tell me. I saw Mr Rowe ; he sail he did not know whether it beonged to bun or Mr. Fairw ather. I understood from him that it belonged to one or the other. Even after this I had no idea to whom it belonged. I carried about 16,000 feet to Onehunga; Mr. Cochrane has ..bout 3,000 feet in his charge. Evans, the assistant pilot, recovered some; so did Short, Palmer, and Irwin. Had no authority to stack the timber ; I put no mark on the timber ; there was no distinguishing mark by which I could identify the timber. Mr. Irwin .did not go to defendant's at my request; I never gave him a list of timber to show the defendants. I never made proposed terms to Irwin ; he did to me, but I refused. I advertised this timber for sale on my own account. ■ Re-examined by Mr. Bennett: I saw the Marshal of the' Admiralty Court on the subject. To the Bench : Where tho timber was found was in the direction of the -wreck from my stack. I left 2,000 or 3,000 feet in the wreck. No one else could have picked up any of the timber but myself. I never adver tised for the owner. I picked up all the un broken timber. To -Mr. Brookfield (who had come into Court) : After stacking the timber, I con sulted Col. Balncavis and Mr. O'Brien as to what I should do. This was before I took it to Onehunga. John Fern deposed to having been em ployed by Brimner to look after the timber. On 22nd June I went to the signal station for victuals, and returned next day at 5. The stack was untouched when I left. On return ing, I missed between 3000 and 4000 feet. On the beach near the stack I observed marks of wheels and bullocks. I followed the tracks to where the wre"k was, and met Mr. Coch rane, and in consequence of what he told me, I returned to the stack. I had seen the de fendants walking on the beach at high water on the previous Sunday and looking at the timber. I have not seen the timber since it was taken away. Thomas Cochrane deposed : I am a farmer living at Waitara, Pollock settlement. On the morning of 23rd June I saw the defendants with a team of bullocks and a dray, of their own constr .ction, bearing sawn timber. They were heading towards the Pollock settlement. The peculiar wheel track led to Brimner's stack. I said, "Chaps, you will go to the Court; Brimner will have you up for it." One said there was no fear. George Given said they were getting new harness from Auck land, and would take it all away; that he would have four bullocks, and clear the beach from end to end —from Waiuku to the South Head ; that I was a d—d fool for carting such rubbish when there was so fine timber there. I said, if he thought he was right, then to go on. I told Fern what I had seen. D. Henderson deposed : On the 23rd June I saw the defendants' feeding buTlocks and carrying timber. Last witness was with me. Followed the track to Brii.ner's stack. The timber on their dray was similar to that in the stack. Did not see that timber since. When we met defendants, in conversation they said that they had enquired in town, and that Brimner could do nothing. There w s some good timber besides Brimner's on the beach, about <•. quarter of a mile from "where the wreck happened. I should sa_\ about two hundred feet, but I don't kuow ni eh about timber. Alexander Brimner deposed : I am the son of prosecutor. Defendant (George Given), came to my father's about June, to enquire if I could sell the timber. I said no ; that father was sick. lie asked to whom can Igo ? I said I did not l<now. This losed the case for the prosecuiion. Mr. Wynn asked the Bench if it was-neces sary for him to say anything in reply ? The Bench held that there was no identifi cation of the timber, and dismissed the case. The Coii'tthen rose.

I The South Bend (Ind.) Register, comment ing on the high price of egus, thinks that I "hens could make piles of money now by strict attention to business " A contemporary says the Philadelphia Led ger, has a discerning criticism of " Teunyson's last work on Holy Gruel."

THE THAMES.

ROBBERY AT SHORTLAND

Mr. Wilson's drapery establishment, Po len-street, was robbed on Saturday evening The premises had been closed about eight o'clock in the evening, and Mr. Wilson and his assistants had left for their Grahamstown establishment shortly afterwards. The pre mises were unoccupied. An entrance was ef fected through a window at the back of the building, and about £8 in cash abstracted from the till, besides which, a lot of ribbons, lace trimmings, &c, were stolen. The thief — for there does not appear to have been more than one concerned in the transaction — was evidently well acquainted with the premises, for the window through which the entrance was effected had a peculiar fastening. None of the stock was disturbed in any way, and the thief appears to have quietly walked to the till and taken the money, and then lifted the parcel of lace and ribbons from the shelf at the back. There were large parcels of silk in the immediate proximity, but these were not touched, and the thief having taken what he wanted quietly made his exit through the same window by which he effected an entrance. It appears that there are shrewd suspicions as to the identity of the thief, and we hope the police will succeed in bringing him to justice.
