The Evening Star. THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1870.

"We were sorry to see such a poor house at the Theatre Koyal last night, but the inclemency of the weather no doubt was the cause. Lacly Bowen however was present, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the capital performance. We are glad to learn that the spirited lessee intends to devote at an early period, another evening for the benefit of the sufferers by the loss of the s s. ' Tiitiranga,' and we trust that fino wealhcr and a bumper house will be the result of this charitabale object. The Glass Bloavebs.—We must again remind our readers that the American Glass Blowers open their exhibition at the New City Hall this evening, and as the fine weather has set in, we are sure that Mr. and Mrs. Woodroffe will have no cause to complain of the opening recep tion they nre sure to meet with.

We are requested to state that the wai'e house of Messrs. J. Cos-grave and Co. will be closed on this day and to-morrow.

We have receivei per Phoebe, a copy of the Illustrated New Zealand Herald, published in Dunedin, by Mr. 11. T. Wheeler. It abounds iv well executed cuts, and as a supplement to the July number a nicely coloured engraving en titled " Prosperity," is issued gratis. It contains all the important news of the month, and altogether is an excellent sum mary for our home friends and relations.

HotalMail Hotel.—We observe that Mr. Woolley, late of the Governor Bowen Hotel, Grahamstown, Las taken the hotel in Victoria-street recently occupied by Mr. L. If. James, of the North Shore. Mr. Woolley appears to have spared neither trouble nor expense in making the above hotel a first-class family hotel, and we have no doubt that he will meet with a fair share of public support. The enquiry regarding ihe late colli sion between the Enterprise and i'auranga was brought to a close in the Police Court to-day, and the deliverance of the Bench deferred till to-morrow, when the two charges in connection witli it against the owner and master of the Enterprise, for not carrying proper ship's lights, and for a breach of the "rules of the road" when meeting the Tauranga will be en quired into. The continuation of the enquiry regarding the abandoning of the Cantero, barque, off Hokianga, is pro ceeding.

A Little Girl Bukied Alive in Ohio. —About four weeks ago a little German girl in Brooklyn took sick of the lock-jaw, and, rumour says, that in a few days she was thought dead and was buried. On the evening of her burial, the mother, for some reason, was led to the grave, and with her ear pressed close to the ground, thought she heard a noise and believed her child to be moving in its coffin. She withheld from asking assistance for fear of being ridiculed, and immediately procured a spade and began to dig up the earth. Soon she came to the coffin, and hurriedly taking it from the earth, opened it, and. there found the body of her child, nine hours after its burial, as warm as if it were living, and lying on its side. che took the child to her house, where a physician was immediately called in, and every restorative applied to bring the child to life. It was too late. The soul had taken its flight, and in a few hours more the body was cold and icy. It was soon buried again, and lias not since been disturbed. The report is common talk among the citizens of the West Side, and tlie story, as above related, is well known to a great many reliable persons residing on Detroit street and in Brooklyn. Ratepayers of the Devenport High way District are informed that all rates not paid by the 16th will be Landed over to a solicitor for recovery. The annual monthly parade of the Auckland Cavalry Volunteers will take place in the Domain to-morrow afternoon.

The New Zealand Commissioners.— A letter from London says :— " Dr. Featherstone and Mr. Bell went to the Queen's Ball the other night;, and go to Lord G-ranville's State Dinner on the Queen's Birthday. Sir George G-rev has been invited, and has accepted theinvi tation, so it is hoped that his little grievances may be considered at an end, and he will shake hands over them."— Wanganui Paper.

A meeting of the Committee of the Home for Destitute Children will be held at the Young Men's Christian Association Rooms this afternoon, at four o'clock.

OBSCENE LANGUAGE

• The same prisoner was charged with using obscene language in Barrack-street, on the 31st July. Martha White and Jane Quin deposed to the facts. Several previous con victions were proved. Fined 40s, or to be imprisoned one month.

LARCENY.

Alexander Lamb and Martha Lamb were charged with having stolen a coat, value 255., two oilskins, value 405., and an Inverness cape, value 205., from the house of A- Cun ningham, of Newmarket, on the 24th of Juno.

A. Cunningham deposed : I live at Newmar ket. On the 24th of Juno I lost the articles produced. They are valued £4, ss. They were hanging in the hall. \.bout a week ago, I saw the coat on Mr. Willit. I went with him to the house of prisoner. Saw Mr. Lamb, who acknowledged to having sold the coat to Mr. Willis. I went ngain with Detective Terna hau, and saw Mrs. Lamb.

To Mr. Bennett: Have had tin's coat over two and a half years. At the time I went first, I did not see Mrs. Lamb, as she -was con fined to bed. I saw clothes hanging tip in the shop, for sale. I recollect Lamb saying that Mrs. Lamb had something to do with buying the coat. Their shop is in West Queen-street. Lamb offered no obstruction to my looking through the other clothes. William Willifc deposed : I am a farmer, l-esiding at North Shore. About Hie 2nd July, I bought the coat at Lamb's shop. I went with prosecutor to the police. I had paid Lamb 17s. 6d. for the coat.

To Mr. Bennett: The Lambs keep a clothes shop. I had gone to buy a muffler, and saw the coat, and my wife insisted on buying it. It was at the time hanging up in the shop, somewhere in the ceutro of the shop. It was on a hook, and not concealed. I thought the price a fair price for the coat. Mr. and Mrs. Lamb were both in the shop when I bought it. I paid Mrs. Lamb, both agreeing to the price. Anyone going into the shop could have seen the coat exposed for sale-

Detective Tei-nahan deposed : On the 27th July I accompanied prosecutor to Lamb's. Lamb said he hid sold the coat, that very likely Mrs. Lamb had bought it from some one. On a subsequent occasion on 1113* going, Mrs. Lamb stated she had bought it some three months ago, and then, on looking at an almanack, said on the 25th May.

The case was dismissed. LAKCENY,

The same prisoner was charged with steal ing a blanket, value fis. from Anne Walker, who deposed to having lost the blanket; and Agnes Uondon to having seen prisoner in Mrs. Walker's passage.

The case was dismissed

The Court adjourned at 11.30

THE PORT OF CALL.

It is with unfeigned satisfaction that wo con gratulate our Chamber of Commerce on the result of the deputation to Sydney. There can be no doubt that natural circumstances silently pleaded for Auckland in the matter of the port of call; but the appearance of Messrs. Cruickshank and lloberton before the Sydney Chamber cfConrrrerce gave an embodiment to the claims of our harbour, and the quietus to poor Mr. Collie. Sydney and Auckland, have -long been bound together in frienship and commercial relations, and flic resolutions passed by the Chamber of Commerce in Sydney are the expression of those feelings and the cementing of those resolutions. It must be owned that the question of the port of call has brightened up wonderfully of late ; and though eventually Fiji will, bt-yond all doubt, be included in the trans-Pacific route, the Hono lulu, Auckland, and Sydney line is apparently fixed for some time as the course of steamers. In the meantime, who can tell but our rela tions with California may be so confirmed that a branch line from Fiji to Auckland may never be proposed. The following are the resolu tions of the Sydney Chamber of Commerce, passed on the 14th instant, to bo confirmed on the 18th—the day on which the Novelty sailed, and which there is every reason to be lieve, from the tone'bf feeling in Sydney, and the influence of the Chamber, will meet with a favorable response in tho Legislature :—

"That the Government of New South Wales be applied to to place a sura of £10,000 on the estimates for the purpose of subsidising a mail service between Sydney and San Fran cisco, via Auckland and Honolulu, Sydney being made the terminus.

" That the foregoing resolution bo laid be fore the nes»t general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, to be held on the 18th instant.

FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR THE "HARP OF ERIN."

ONE MAN KILLED AND TWO SERIOUSLY INJURED.

A. veey serious accident took place at an early hour yesterday morning, which resulted in the instant death of a man named McGUnlay, and the injury of two others, named Lupfcon and Storey. The particulars of the accident, so far as we have been able to learn, are as follow : —A waggon, heavily laden with timber, left Auckland shortly after midnight, in chaise of the owner, Mr. Lxvpton, of Mount Eden. There were, besides, two men, said to be the owners of the timber, named McGinlay and Storey. The destination of the,waggon was Popakura. It was drawn by two horses, and the threo men were seated on the top of the timber. Shortly after passing the Harp of Erin Hotel, and when near the 1-mile post, the horses shied at something at the side of the road and the waggon coming into collision with a large stone, it-at once turned completely over, tho men falling underneath fche timber. McGinlay was at once killed, being struck by a heavy piece of wood, while the other two men were so jammed benuath the load that they were unable to extricate themselves. In front of them a short distance another cart

was going the same way. The driver heard the cries for assistance, and at once went with another man to the overturned cart, and suc ceeded in releasing the two men from their uncomfortable position. McGinlay was quite dead. They then took Lupton and Storey to Otahuhu, where they received medical assist ance ; and Constable Molloy being commu nicated with, proceeded to the' scene of the disaster, and conveyed the dead body to Otahuhu, where it now awaits a coroner's in quest. We understand the deceased leaves a wife and family in Auckland. The Coroner was yesterday communicated with, and the inquest has been fixed to be held to-^ay^^^

THE LATE COLLISION.

CONTINUATION OF THE OFFICIAL

INQUIRY.

After the hour of going to press, yesterday, the evidence of Clifton, MacDermott, and Mr. Hadfield, who were on board the Enterprise at the time of the collision, was received, all corroborating in the main the statements of Captain Millis, and the enquiry was adjourned till to-day. It was resumed at noon, in the Police Court, before the same Justices —Cap- tain Daldy, Mr. Bitchic, and Captain Clayton, the Nautical Assessoi

Richard Millis, late captain of the ketch, lv-called and re-examined by the Nautical Assessor : I think the wind wa3 N.W. lam not sure if it was not N.N.W. When opposite Sail Rock S.E. by S. I was at the wheel. My course after passing the Rock was S.E. iS. I gave Clifton S.E. by S. when giving him the wheel at 12, the wind then was N.W. a little N. Would not bo sure if it was not N. The wind was inclined to shift to N. We were shipping no water. In smooth water the height of the covering board was five inches aft, amidships it was seven inches. Had no lazy guy ; had no rope on the boom to secure it from swinging. The boom was eased off close to the rigging. The jib was drawing at times. I had no tack trysail up. I was staying alongs'de the man at the wheel when I saw the bright light on the port bow. On the red and green lights being called out I ran up with the torch in my hand, not having time to light it. I had scarcely got below before Clifton called out. lie said he saw them right ahead. Could not swear that the helm was not put a starboard before this ; could not swear it was put aport either. The tiller was shipped abaft; the rudder-bead, and the wheel stood before the rudder-head. On coaling up I ran forward at once, and by the time I got to the foremast she struck. I saw the red light. iShe had no sails set. I believed I heard the working of the engines. 1 did not notice the funnel, or any paddle wheels. I fancy wo struck the steamer a glancing blow ; the ketch had a stout wire stay Sit up on the stem head ; when I examined the bows by putting my hand over, the stay was there. I saw none of the boats of the steamer. I did not hear the man at the wheel say anything. Turned the boat over on the starboard side. The rollocks were left in the galley; the oars were generally under the boat. Our boat was a whaleboat. There was no place for the steer-oar. Kept the boat to the sra by an oar on each bow. Clifton used the painter, and I used the rail, and we had to keep the stern to the sea. We shipped a little water at first. I swear I was not, under the im pression that the steamer/ went down. I think it was my imagination regarding the cries. (Pointed out on a chart the spot where the collision occurred—apparently in a right line, and half way between Sail Rock and Point Rodney.) I am aware that by crossing over tho neck from Little Omaha to the north beach I could have seen where the collision occurred. I worked my position about eight or ten mile 3 oiF the land before giving the wheel (o- Clifton, in order to try and see Tiritiri light. C. C. Clifton recalled : When I first saw the light it was on tho port bow. The com panion was twulve feet from the wheel. I believe the captain wont below immediately. Could see into the cabin partially. When I saw the red and grocn lights I had lost sight of the white light. The jib was flapping sometimes I looked under the boom when the white light had gone. I saw the red and green lights under the boom, a quarter-point on tho starboard bow. I most solemnly swear that I did not starboard my helm after seeing the red and green lights. I will not swear that I did not starboard my helm af cer I saw the bright light. I might have done so in order to keep my course. Ido not sweur nositively that I did starboard my helm. I don't know if the vessel came to windward. I positively swear that I did not put the helm hard-a-starboard. I do net know whether the vessel's head moved by the compass. I think we struck the steamer square. I think I saw the funnel. I swear that I did not then think that the steamer went down. I thought it was the Samson. The cry from the cabin I thought was from some ono hurt by the jibboom The other cry I thought was from some one overboard.

W". J. Hurst deposed : I am a merchant, in Auckland, managing owner and agent of the late steamer Taut auga. I believe the certifi cate of registry was on board. Her tonnage was 67 tons ; her official number 52,439. She was a schooner-rigged screw steamer. At 5.30 p.m. on 23rd July, she left Auckland, for Russell, Bay of islands, She had about 25 to 30 tons general cargo. She had two piles ol 9 x 1 sawn boards forward, in front of the bridge. She had two boats—one, a life-boat, and the other, an ordinary ship's boat, which had been recently passed by the Inspector of Steamers. I know she had two life-buoys—l think she had four ; they were placed on the bridge, ready for use. The boats were swung in on the davits when she started. It was the first time she had carried her boats in that way. It was in consequence of the bad weather on her last up passage forthe Bay. Produce copy of the articles. The following were the crew and passengers on board tlio Tauranga on her last trip :—JJj. V. Bolger (captain), William Har wood (engineer), John D- Munroe (mate), William Daveney and William Charles Job son (firemen), Gr. Oldhuni (trimmer), Griffith Pritcliavd, C. Law, William E. Ransome and W. Forster (A.B.'s), William Halm (steward), William Kell (assistant steward), Christopher Reynolds (cook), and I believe W. W. Clilford (assistant cook) was also on board. The pas sengers were—in the cabin: Edward Hertor (t cket 45), a gentleman that gave the name of W. Wall, also Mr. Land (ticket 39), Mr. Walters (ticket 40), in the steerage. I be lieve there were some others on board. I was on the steamer till she started. The Tauranga was a wooden vessel. Her usual speed under stoam was eight and a-half to

nine knots. According to her rate of speed she would have bsen on this night about ten miles on this side of Sail Rock at half-past 12. I went to the Bay of Islands on the 26th July, in the Samson. The Tauranga had not then arrived. I left again on Friday evening. She had not then arrived. We made a search returning, but did not find the steamer. _We searched along the coast and the Little Barrier. The owners of the Tauranga were as per list produced. She was three years old. Her value was about £3500. Part of my interest was insured to the extent of £1000. It is in the Australasian Insurance Company. I know there is no other insurance, on her. I estimate the value of the cargo at about £400, and specie about £300. We never keep a manifest. I think there i 3 no insurance on the cargo. She was well "found in everything. Her certificate was granted three months since. She had all the proper lights. I know that the compass was in good order. About the time of leaving the weather was dirty, and the wind, I think, about N.E., blowing stiff. To Mr. Bennett: I saw four passengers who went by the Tauranga. I knew Mr. Hector personally.

This closed tihe inquiry. In order to consider the evidence and draw up the decision of the Bench, the case was adjourned till to-morrow. The Court adjourned from two till half-past two, when the inquiry into the case of the barque Cantero was resumed, and was being continued as we went to press.

ARRIVAL OF THE 'WANGANUI.'

EXTENSIVE GOLD ROBBERY IN OTAGO.

PURCHASE OF THE RANGATIRA

The s.s. Wanganui arrived in the Manukau early this morning, from Wanganui, bringing later Southern news.

The gold awaiting the escort was abstracted from the police station at the Clyde. The value of the gold stolen is not yet known.

ORIGINAL POETRY.

THE EVENING- STAR

" Oh fatherj dear father," a young child cried,

" You say that all beauty is doomed to de-

cline ; The flow'ret I prized has withered and died,

When will the evening star cease to shine ? I have watched its bright light on many a night, But its brilliance to me seems ne'er to de-

cline ;

Oh why, if the flowret has passed from my sight, Why don't the evening star cease to shine ?'>

" My child," said tho father, " the gems of this earth They bloom for a time, then wither and die, But the stars they shine tho same at our birth

As they do at our deatk, though years pass by; And a beautiful truth to man is told By the constant light of the evening star, For it seems to say both to young and old • There's a world much brighter than jours by far.' " James Simmonds, Comedian, Author of " Let us Speak of a Man as we find him" and other ballads. Auckland, August 1, 1870.

In the committee on the Factory Bill a witness from Dundee was asked, " When do your girls marry ?" He replied, " Whenever they can meet a husband."
