The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1870.

In the Supreme Court, yesterday, after we had gone to press, the jury en gaged in trying the charge against Wil liam Eagg, of selling arms to natives, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict of guilty. His Honor ex pressed his intention of not trying the prisoner on the remaining four charges with the same jury ; and it was resolved to postpone their consideration till next week. Sentence was also deferred.

In the Police Court to-day there were but two drunkards, but one of theni, a woman who has been recently before the Bench for the same offence, seemed so utterly wretched and lost, as by her very appearance to plead earnestly for the shelter of an inebriate asylum, where the demon drink could be kept away by the power of law. An aged and respectable looking man, who seemed to feel his position, pleaded guilty to stealing a lamp from the house where he was residing. A person wliom the police seem to know too well for his comfort, was sent to gaol for three months as a vngrant. A man was charged with breaking into and robbing a fisherman's house in Official Bay, gave all the trouble of an investiga tion, and then seeing the case closing in around him, pleaded guilty ; so avoided a trial in the Supreme Court. He was seutenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

Essay and Discussion Class, Y. M. C. A.—The above class met on Thursday evening last, in the rooms, Wellesley street, Mr. Boardman (President) in the chair, when an interesting debate took place on the following question : —" Is Conscience an infallible monitor r" Mr. E. Can introduced the discussion in the negative, p.nd Mr. R. B. 8h alders in the affirmative. The debate was continued by Messrs. G. M. Main, Cherry, T. L. White, Robinson, Harrison, Boardman. (negative;, Mr. McGowan (affirmative). There was an excellent attendance of members, also several visitors, members of the institution. The business for next night of meeting (the, 30th instant), will be a paper by Mr. G. M. Reed, on " Duty in relation to the Amusements of the People."

A fiest dividend will be paid to those creditors in the estate of Walter Dudley, who have proved their debts, on or before the 27th instant. ' ' -

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The s.s. Phoebe, Captain Worsp, arrived in the Manukau this morning, bringing later news from the South :—

DUNEDIN, June 15. Two men have been drowned in attempting to cross Lake Wanaka.

One hundred and thirty tons of stone from Houghan's reef, near Cromwell, have been crushed, and have yielded 2J. ozs. of retorted gold to the ton.

The Provincial Council has been prorogued. In his address, the Superintendent gave ex pression to a conviction which he said had been long forced upon him, that the present system of Government, both General and Provincial, unnecessarily complex, and costly. There was, he thought, too much state about it, and some change should be made. The subject required due considera tion, and the new form of Government should emanate from the intelligent convictions of the people of the colony.

OPENING OF THE ASSEMBLY.

The fifth and last session of the fourth Parliament of New Zealand was duly opened by his Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, G.C.M.G., at two o'clock to-day. Shortly before that hour the members of the Wel lington Volunteer Artillery, No. 1. Company W.R.V., and the Veteran Volunteers fell in on the rec aimed land, and soon afterwards a large detachment from the A.C., under Sergeant-Major Revell, marched down from Mount Cook Barracks, and joined the parade. Lieut.-Colonel Reader then took command, and the Artillery Battery having fallen out so as to fire a salute, the remainder of the force, headed by the Artillery band, maeched up to the Government Buildings, where line was formed ready for the due reception of his Excellency. In the meantime the ladies began to assemble in the Legislative Council Chamber, which has been decorated in a very tasteful manner since last session. Every available seat was soon filled, and standing room even was at a premium before the first gun of the artillery salute gave notice that his Excellency had left his residence. Accom panied by Captain Pitt, R.A., Private Secre tary and A.D.C., and Captain Smith, A.D.C., his Excellency drove up to the door of the buildings and dismounted, the band playing the National Anthem, and the Volunteers and Constabulary presenting arms. His Excellency at one proceeded to the Legislative Council Chamber, and having taken his seat Captain Pitt was sent to summon the members of the House of Representatives. That House had in the meantime assembled, and the clerk having informed the members of the absence of the Speaker, Sir D. Monro, Mr. Carleton (Chairman of Committees) took the chair. On receiving the summons to attend his Excellency, Mr. Carleton, preceded by the Sergeant-at-Arms, accompanied by the Hon. the Premier, the Hon. the Postmaster- General, and the Hon. the Native Minister, and followed by the Clerk and the members of the House, proceeded to the Legislative Council Chamber, where the Premier placed in his Excellency's hand a copy of the speech, which his Excellency then read.

NOTICE OF MOTION.

Mr. Farmer on behalf of Mr. Carleton, gave notice of motion for the appointment of the following Sessional Committees, Standing Orders, Library, Joint Committee on Standing Orders, Selection, and Joint Committee on Private Bills.

Mr. J. C. Wilson, C.8., gave notice of the appointment of a House Committee.

Mr. Creighton gave notice of the appoint ment of a Reporting Committee.

The Hon. John Hall gave notice of the ap pointment of a Joint Waste Lands Com mittee.

Mr. Carrington gave notice of his intention to move a reply to the Address.

The Hon. Mr. Fox gave notice of his inten tion to move that the House, unless otherwise ordered, meet at 3 of the clock each_day. The Hon. Mr. Vogel gave notice of the appointment of a Printing Committee, and the Hon. Mr. McLean of the appointment of a Public Petitions Committee.

The Hon. Mr. Fox brought in a bill to amend the Intestate Estates Act, and it was read a first time.

Mr. Mervyn gave notice of intention to introduce a bill to amend the Goldficlds Act, and Mr. Swan of a question about the impor tation of South Sea Islanders to Auckland. Mr. Travers gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill to compel the attendance of witnesses for the defence in criminal prosecu tions. A number of papers were then laid on the table by Ministers, and the House, on the motion of the Hon. the Premier, adjourned to Thursday, at 3 o'clock.

To the Editor of the Evening Star.

Sib, —My attention has been called to an article in your paper of June 10th, reflecting on my conduct on board the steamer Tau ranga when an accident occurred by the cap sizing of the pilot boat, at the time towing on the port side of the steamer. This took place in a tide ripple, where the current be comes narrow and Btrong, the boat's painter was too short, and the boatmen did not hear ov understand, an order from on board to let go. Contrary to the published statement neither boatmen or boat received any injury. When I reached the station I procured some arnica and investigated the reputed wound of I the man, said to be inflicted by a cut from one of the screw fans. I found the wound to be so slight a scratch that I did not even apply the arnica. My thanks are due to Captain Bolger for kindly towing us abreast of the station. I have only just seen a copy of your paper, or I would have answered it before this.—l am, &c, Thos. F. Cabmiohael. Pilot. 16th June, 1870.

Edward Turner was charged with a breach of the above Act, in being, on the 17th of June, without any lawful visible means of support. Detective Ternahan deposed : I have known the prisoner about six months, and he never did any work. He is the constant associate of thieves. I arrested him yesterday morning. Detective Murphy deposed : I have known prisoner about town for six months. He has no lawful visible means of support. He is always found in Chancery street, in the so ciety of thieves and prostitutes. He never does anything for his support. Sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. STEALING PBO-TL a dwelling.

Francis Williams was charged with having on or about the 25th of March, stolen from the residence of Paul Lopez, of Official Bay, money and goods to the value of £10. Paul Lopez deposed : I am a fisherman re siding in Official Bay. I remember about the 25th March last. I left my house about that time for fishing. Was away for two days. I had locked up the house. On re turning I found the house open and things missing:, viz., four sovereigns and six half sovereigns, one pound silver, and a gold ring valued two pounds, and a pound of tobacco. The silver and ring were in the pocket of my waistcoat, hanging behind the door. The gold was locked up in my box. The ring pro duced is mine. I have seen the prisoner before in Official Bay.

To prisoner : Did not see you break your house nor wear your ring.

John Williams deposed : I am a fisherman residing at Official Bay. Remember about the the 25th of last month. Saw prisoner at that time in Official Bay ; about four o'clock in the morning. This was about 150 yards from Lopez's house. Saw Lopez's house that morning. About three o'clock I heard a noise inside. I got up about half-past two and went to Lopez's house to call him, found the door open and nobody inside. I live about twenty yards from his house. It was about half an hour after when I saw prisoner I identify the ring, which I know for the last six years as belonging to Lopez. To prisoner : It was not after four o'clock when I saw you. To the Court : It was daylight when I saw him. Lewis Henry Neumegan, being sworn with his head covered, according to the Jewish form, deposed : I am a pawnbroker, residing in Auck land. Know the prisoner; he came to my place on the 3rd of this month; he pawned the ring produced. I gave him las. on it. I afterwards gave the ring to detective Terna han. The name he gave was not Williams ; do not recollect it, but, can find by reference. To prisoner: I said at first I cauld not re cognise you at the moment, but alterwards did. I have no doubt whatever that prisoner was the man. William Davis, deposed : I am a sailor on board the schooner Colonist, at present in harbour. I know the prisoner ; saw him on the 16th of June ; he was working on board the vessel; he asked me to buy a ring ; I asked him what kind of a ring, he said it was a gold one, and if I gave him ss. and the pawnbroker 155., I might have it; he told me the ring was pawned.

Detective Ternahan, deposed: From in formation received, I proceeded on the 17th instant to Mr. Neumegan's, and got the ring produced, and afterwards arrested the pri soner ; he said he knew nothing at all about it.

Prisoner now pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

There waß a better audience at the Prince of Wales last night than there has been lately. The previous night's programme was gone through, everything passing off well. To night " Macbeth" with Locke's music will be produced, Mr. O'Brien appearing as Macbeth, Mrs. Hill, as Lady Macbeth. There ought to be a good house.

THEATRE ROYAL.

Theee was a very fair attendance at the Royal last night, when the splendid comedy of " London Assurance" was produced. Mr. Rayncr was announced to have sustained the part of Dazzle, but on account of his con tinued indisposition the part was entrusted on very short notice, to Mr. South, and we* were very much astonished to see him make so much of it. He deserves great credit for the manner in which he played, and we have no doubt in saying, were such parts forced on to Mr. South, that it would be the means of making him in time something above a low comedian. All the other parts were excellently played, Mrs. Jackson, Jas. Simmonds, Mrs. S. Howard, and Miss Raymond acquiting themselves very creditably. The capital farce of " Family Jars" followed, and gave Mr. Sam Howard another opportunity of dis playing his comic powers. To-night Mrs. Jackson appears in her great character of Lady Audley, to be followed by " The Wandering Minstrel," with Mr. Howard as Jem Baggs. We anticipate a crowded house.

An important decision for hotel keepers was lately made in the Napier Provincial Council, when a '■ feed" was defined to be one gallon of maizs or oats.

Tendebs for half year supplies, for the Provincial Government, must be sent in to the Superintendent's Office, before noon, on Monday next.

We have been'requested to state that a sale of Dauntless and Siak-to-Rise shares will take place on Monday next, at Mr. Newman's auction room. ."

AUCKLAND LITERARY SOCIETY.

EXTBAOBDINABY CHABGE AGIANST THE PBESS. Mb. Nobman, junior, brought forward his motion at the meeting last night, "That reporter be admitted to all the regular meet ings of the society." This was seconded by Mr. Mulholland. Mr. Eastwood', the Presi dent of the Society, objected most strenuously to the admission of reporters, affirming that reporters had their "partialities," and that he himself had a very low estimate of the value of their reports. Mr. Davis, junior, also op posed their admission, saying that at the Literary Entertainment, in the City Hall, in May, the reporters had not been supplied with chairs, tables, brandy, and other refresh ment?, and then look what notices appeared in the papers the following morning ! Mr. Mulholland defended the Press, and gave the results of eight years' experience in a news paper office. Mr. Sinclair said he had been an Auckland reporter, and knew all their requirements. When they came to a meeting, they expected a chair and a table, if convenient, but never any refreshment. With reference to the motion, he said the society might safely pass it, for the reporters would be very idle when they came to the meetings. The motion wasnegatived on a show of hands. Mr. Osmund Lewis occupied the chair, and was supported, on the left, by the Secretary and Mr. Busby.
