POLICE COURT.-Friday.

(Before Thomas Ritchie, Esq., and T. B. Kenderdine, Esq., M.D., J.P.'s.) DRUNKENNESS. Jessie Bell was fined ss. and costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours with*- hard labor ; and Alice Murphy, for a second offence, was Sued 10s. and costs, or to be imprisoned for 48 hours •with hard labour. MINING XIABItITY/ ACT. Two charges of breaches of the above Act were laid against G-. F. Armstrong and Michael Hannaferd, and were adjourned by consent of counsel, the former till Monday, and the latter till Friday next.

BREACH OF THE rASSENGER ACT. James Carolan, Henry GHttos, and Thomas Binness, were charged with a breach of the above Act, in having stowed themselves away on board the Wonga Wonga, on her passage from Sydney, without having procured passage tickets for the voyage, James Carolan pleaded guilty. Matthew Isaac Robinson, deposed : I am purser on board'the Wonga Wonga. Dis covered defendants on board for the first time yesterday, when collecting tickets from pas senger*. They were asked for their tickets. They had none ; and their names are not on the passenger Hat. They were found in the intermediate. They had been concealed till we had gone to sea. Court adjourned for half an hour to procure the attendance of the steward of the Wonga Wonga. On the Court resuming, George Mill deposed : I am chief steward on board the Wonga Wonga. Saw the three defendants on board. I spoke to two of them. I warned them not to come in the ship unless they were articled. After the ship had left Sydney I saw them in the forepart of the ship. The chief officer, in my presence, asked them for their tickets. To defendant Binness : I said to you that on arrival at Auckland, if there were enough passengers, I would put you on wages. To Court: In Sydney, before the vessel sailed, I distinctly told him to leave the ship. Never saw you working on the passase, and the captain told me not to let you work. To Qittos (defendant) : Did not see you working. Saw you drunk once or twice. The defendants were each fined £2, or to be imprisoned for one month. INDECENT EXPOSURE. Henry Webb, on remand, appeared charged with a breach of the Vagrant Act, in having indecently exposed himself on Saturday last. Detective Ternahan deposed : I know the prisoner, whom I arrested on Wednesday afternoon, off Symonds-street, for this offence. Prisoner said it was quite a mistake ; but he was identified at the police ■tatibn by several persons as having so exposed himself. Two little girls of about ten years old gave evidence on the subject, and the Bench de ferred decision till after hearing of the sub sequent charges. The same defendant was charged with a similar offence on Monday last. One of the little girls and her nurae deposed to the faots of the case.

For the defence, Augustus Koch deposed that he had known defendant at Hawke's Bay for eleven years, and he had borne an excellent character, and especially on grounds of morality ; in fact, by " over morality," so to say, he hal pot into trouble in Hawke's Bay by hii endeavours to prevent persona from indecently exposing themselves by bathing in the sea below his residence there. The defendant addressed the Court with ability, and considerable powers of eloquence, and the Bench decided to remand the case till Monday, on which day the decision also on the previous case will be given. Bail ex tended. The Court then rose.

The Nelson and Cobden Railway is to be carried out. The Examiner,^ of the 28th, says :—" Everyone will rejoice to hear that the prospect of seeing the two extremities of tbe province connected by a railway, is highly promising. "We an nounced last month that gentlemen had been found in England ■willing to con struct the Nelson and Cobden railway, on the conditions offered by our Govern ment, and that objections solely of a technical character had prevented the signing of a preliminary contract. By the mail received yesterday, his Honor the Superintendent received letters'informinj; him that—through tlie intervention of Dr. Featherston and Mr. P:llon Bell (the New Zealand Commissioners) —all the objections had been overcome; and be fore the mail left, the solicitors of the contractors had been instructed to draw up a preliminary contract," on terms> mu tually ngreed upon. On the signing of this contract, an engineer of high attain ments will be despatched here to verify the survey made by Mr. Wrigg for the Provincial Government; and if that gen tleman's report be found to be a reliable one, the construction of the railway will at once be undertaken. But under any circumstances, the contractors will bind themselves to.at once construct a railway from Cobden to the Bi-unner coal mine— a most important work, and an excellent commencement of what we feel little doubt will quickly follow." • The Sydney Herald, of May 18, says : —" The telegraphic connection of Aus tralia with Asia, and thereby with Europe and America, is now so far on the road to completion that the money necessary for carrying it out ha« been subscribed, the I company has been organised, the contract for the construction of the cable has been Jjb. entered into, and a representative of the capitalists thus concerned is in Australia to negotiate with the Colonial Govern ments. If there is no hitch, therefore, two years may see the task completed, and Sydney be brought practically within a duy's distance of London." The Fiji Islands, which have so loug been begging everyone to take chargj of them, am, it seems, about to find a p r o - tector in a very unexpected quart«r. Prussia, of all powers in ihe world, is about to take them under her wing. She

has sent out, as we learn by the mail, a corvette, called the Bertha, to examine into the present state and prospects of the Islands, and, according to the report brought back, it will be decided whether or not a German colony will be established in the South Pacific. Worse people than the Prussians might come to live nest door to us ; still, it is ridiculous in Us to allow either them or anyone else to take possession of what should of right be our own. We trust that if the Imperial Government positively declines to inter fere, the colonies of Australia will on their own account annex Fiji to the group. - Wellington Post.

A meeting of the sub-committee in connection with the proposed Bagged School, was held at the office of Messrs. Combes and Daidy, at half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, but the business transacted was purely of a for mal character, and was devoid of public interest.

A collection of old coins, consisting of nearly one hundred and fifty pieces, is now on view and for sale at the establish ment of Mr. Kohn,. Queen-street. They consist of gold, silver, and copper coins, but mainly of silver, and are representa tives of the sterling currency of almost every age and of almost every country. There are but three gold pieces, but these are so worn by age as to- be almost beyond identification. The silver coins represent the currency of France, Austria, Eussia, Prussia, Spain, America, Ancient borne, Greece, China, and, in fact, every portion of the globe where money has existed for ages past- One piece—a silver coin is said to be two thousand years old. and among the collection are a large number of English pieces coined in the reigns of different kings —some of them being eight or nine hundred years old. Indeed, it is seldom that such a valuable collection of old coins is seen, and cer tainly never before in this city. They are the property of a gentleman who is about to leave the colony, and who is iv reduced circumstances. The sum of £15 only is required for the entire collectiou> which would form a most valuable addi tion to the curiosities of our museum, and we think they should be purchased for that purpose. .
