The Evening Star. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1870.

; The public meeting held at the Mecha nics'lnstitute on Tuesday evening was not a crowded nor an enthusiastic one. On the contrary those, if there were any such, who expected the Protection league to be launched amid salvos of artillery from human longs, must have been very considerably disappointed, for the meeting was a tame one, and had it not been from its presenting little ludicrous incidents to enliven its dullness, it would have been rather remarkable for it 3 life lessness. All this may be fully conceded to those who from the de'mt of the Pro tection League augur its untimely death. And as wholly irrespective of the effects of the League, the principles which it is formed to advocate will soon be embodied in the fiscal policy of JN"ew Zealand, if the debut of the League should afford a little hilarity to those who faithfully cling to a lost cause, it i 3 well.

Various circumstances contributed to make the inauguration of the Protection League, at the present moment, unat tended with eclat. There i 3 no use blink ing the matter, but ifc has had very much the aspect of being a dishonest election dodge, got up to prejudice the return of Mr. G-illies. Everything is fair, we know, in politics ; and if the opponents of the best Superintendent Auckland has ever had, hoped to effect a diver sion from the ranks of his sup porters,they are welcome to their success. But it is not fair to the great cause of fos tering home industries to draggle it in the dirt to work the ephemeral purpose of ob taining a few stray votes in a local elec tion. And the promoters of the objects of the League would have made it more popular if they had taken steps to disa buse the public mind of the impression that the movement was intended for a subterfuge in the carrying out of election eering tactics. As it is, the movement cannot now affect the candidature of Mr. Gillies, for, after his clear enunciation of his views before the electors, there does not remain a doubt on any mind, that to the whole extent de/irable for New Zealand, Mr. Gillies is as earnest as anyone for the development of infant industries, through the tempo rary application of the Customs tariff. We wish well to the ostensible objects of the Protection Leaguers. With all the warmth and ability with which we could, we have for many months counselled the formation of a League, knowing the grand results effected by such a movement in a sister colony, and should sincerely regret if the great cause under!aken should b defiled by small and unworthy motives The comparatively small meeting on Tuesday evening is sufficiently to be accounted for by the fact that the ma jority of the people hire not been edu cated up to an interest in the question. It may also be attributed to the fact that the policy of the Ministry in power being one of protection to native industries, the imposition of a protective tariff is re garded as an accomplished fact. But we thiok that the chill has been mainly caused by the suspicion that an attempt was intended to throw dust in the eyes of tlie people, and to form a League for Protection to—Mr. Williamson. We sincerely hope we are mistaken, and should like to have the suspicion re moved, so that the whole public may join •with heart and hand in helping forward a movement, having for its object, by means of a protective policy, the advancing of New Zealand to the foremost rank in the progressive march of colonisation.

A lechure of a very interesting and merito rious character, will be delivered to-morrow evening in the Symonds-strect Music Hall, by Mr. W. A. Thompson, on the subject of " Life Assurance." The Australian Mutual Provident, Society, of which, we believe the lecturer is the representative, has been the most eminently satisfactory and successful, perhaps, of all mutual societies ever pro jected. And a lecture on a subject of such general interest and importance as Life Assurance, based on the experiences and inci dents of the most prosperous society, should awake considerable attention. The admission is free. "We observe that the Tfew Zealand Local Industry League — Auckland Branch— hu3 opened an office in Stichbury's Buildings, Queen-street, where persons desirous of bo i coining members can enrol their names, i "Si

Ward's Amateur Minstrels wilL'give a per formance for the benefit of the Whau Public Hall, at 7.30 o'clock this evening.

The s.s" Airedale is postponed until Sa turday next at noon. A warning to admirers of flowers is afforded in anincident that occurred to two young girls, yesterday, in the Domain Gardens. Smitten with some curious and pretty roses, they pos sessed themselves of one each, and were caught in the act. Detained under charge till their friends were sent for, they were obliged to pay 2s. 6d. each for the roses, and taught a salu tary lesson, were left to go their ways in peace. The habit of "picking "in the matter of flowers, is rather prevalent, and causes annoyance in the gardens, and a few such little incidents may hare a beneficial effect.

His Honor the Chief Justice sat yesterday, in the Appellate Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Tho only cnse heard, was an appeal by Richard Oliphant Stewart, from a decision by the Justices of the Pence sitting in the Petty Session in the Court of Ifsarnawahiii. The information was taken out by a person named Cassinger, who charged Stewart —who it appeared was himself a J.P.—with selling a " bottle of grog," contrary to the terms of the Licensing (Provincial) Act, 1863. The Justices convicted and fined the defendant £20. The defendant now. appealed. Mr. Wynu am! Mr. Bennett for appellant, Mr. Hesketli for the respondent. His Honor aflirtned the appeal.

The Presbyterian Church Building Com mittee at the Thames have accepted the tender of Mr. Jchn Somerville for £450, for the erection of a church near the Karaka bridge, capable of seating 400 persons. Some of my clerical friends dabble a little in shares, and when they come Under the Verandah I generally pick up a racy anecdote respecting some incidents of clerical life. Here is the latest. Some time ngo a clergyman sure eded another in a district whore two churches had to be supplied with ministration. My friend the Rev. Mr. A™ always took the services of each place on alternate Sundays. Not so his successor, the Rev. Mr. B . He determined on taking both ehuivhes on the same day, and he caused to be posted on the door 3of the two churches the following notice : —"On and after this date the Rev. Mr. B will preach afc church in the morning, and afc church in the evening, and will baptise children at both ends." — Melbourne Leader.

A bazaar, in aid of the funds for the com pletion of the work now in progress at St. Mary's Church, OnehungJ, will be held this and succeeding evenings. A meeting of the trustees of the Savings Bank is announced to be held on. Monday afternoon next.

The anniversary ball in connection with the Otahuhu Public Hall is to be held on Tuesday next. A petition ha 3 boen filed in the Supreme Court for winding up the Auckland Saw Mill Company. Two charming little experiments in vivi section, worthy of the best attention of the So'-iety for the Prevention of Cruelty, are de scribed by Mr. Tame, in his recent treatise "De la Intelligence." The inventions do credit to Paul Bert, author of an essay "Sur la Vitalite propre dcs Tiasus animaux." Here is the first :—" Insert in the back of a rat the end of its own tail, having first pared it raw with bistoury jit will heal and take root. .A3 30011 as the graft is complete, amputate the tail about one-third of an inch from the old root. The rat's tail will henceforth grow the reverse way and out of the back, During the first three months the rat will evince very feeble signs of feeling when the tail 13 pinched. At the end of six or nine months the sensitive ness of the part will have much increased, but the animal will not yet be able to guess where he is pinched. After a year he will, however, be completely up to the trick, and will turn to bite the pinchers." Thus it is proved that experience must intervene befoi'e an animal can localise his sensations ; and that the ir ritation of the nerves which before the opera tion travelled in the centripetal direction sub sequently has effr't-f. in the centrifugal direc tion. The other experiment is similar, but still more ingenious : —" If you amputate the paw of a young rat, partially skin it, and intro duce it through the skin of another rat's side, it will engraft, take nutriment, grow, and ac quire all the ordinary parts of its structure, {is if it had remained with its former pro prietor."

HELLER'S WONDERS.

Last night this wonderful and "bewildering entertainment was witnessed by a densely thronged house at the City Hall. The pro gramme was the same as on the preceding two nights, and the feats were such (hat sifter a natural effort to discover the secret, the mind aban ions the task and surrenders itself to fcho influence of the supernatural, and is prepared to not feel astonishment at any strange occur rence. There is a change of programme to night, when new wonders undreamt of before will be produced. The musical portion of the performance this evening is superior to any that has hitherto preceded it, and a great treat may be confidently anticipated.

ROBBERY ON GREAT NORTH ROAD.

Tubks men named Charles Harris, Thomas Sheehan, and Joseph Smith were last evening arrested on a charge of assaulting one Wm. Chapman, on the Ghre&t J^ortb Road, on the evening of the 7ih instant, and stealing from him the sum of £31 in £1 notes. The follow ing are the particulars of the case :It appears that the prosecutor is employed at Hender son's Mil), and on Uie evening in question lie had occasion to come down from the mill to the Waikomili Hotel, mid-way between the mill and the Whau. Inside the public-house were Harris, Smith, and Sheehan. While staying in the public Chapman had one glass of beer only. Tho reason of liis going to the Waikoir.iti was to fetch a parcel which had been left for him. On getting {his he went outside, and was strapping*'it together, in order to put it on the horse's back, ■when Harris came behind him and gave him a violent blow on the back, and before he could recover himself put his hand into his pocket and took out his pocket-book. In this book was the sum of money mentioned above, which Chapman was carrying about with him, being wages that he had recently received. On losing the purse'he at "once turned round and demanded it back, but Harris —a tall, powerful follow —commenced to bully him, and wanted to fight him. The other two prisoners also got round him, and the poor man wag at length glad to make his escape

safft' and so.und, .leaving the money in the hands of Harris. The next day. lie came to town and gave information to the police, and last, evening Detective Ternahan appre hended Harris in Chancery-street, and he was at once identified by Chap man as the man who had robbed him. In his possession was found a one-pound Bank of England note with several holes in it, and to the identity of whi h Chapman is ready to swear. The other two men were apprehended on suspicion later in the even in', but Chapman had not seen them up toa late hour. They were all three dressed in new clothes, and they have been noticed to be spending money pretty freely during the last day or two. Harris is a very ugly cus to ncr to deal with. He has uot been out of prison long, havingbeen sentenced in the March sessions of 1869 to two years' imprisonment For a garotte robbery, and"to be twice whipped upon that occasion he stuck a man up in Wakefield-streefc, and assaulted him with such severity that the Judge considered it necessary to' oivler him to receive two flog gings du'riuj his term of imprisonment.

BESPONDEJfT.] November 8, 1870. The crushing for the Boyal Oak, at the Whakaroa battery, wa3 completed on Satur day, so far as the general stuff was concerned, but the specimens were crushed yesterday, and the retorting has not been completed. Thd best specimens, I understand, will go to Short land to-day, to be erusheJ in the amalgamating barrel of the Tramway battery. —The New Zealand Company's battery is not ready for crushing. In addition to new cams, an addi tional stamper has been added to each battery, making now five instead of four heads. I beiieve°tliis will be a great improvement to the machinery.—Tie pro-ipecfs of the Coromandcl gold field never looked brighter than at the present moment. Scarcely a day passes without some new claim striking gold, or an old one getting it ridier than ever. The last sensation is the Poverty. One large boulder taken from this claim weighs over sixty pounds and is full of gold.—The Rainbow End, a portion of the All Nations No. 3, came upon some good stone last week. It is a white quartz with the gold as though peppered a!l over it wherever broken, and calculated to give a return of about 20ozs. to the ton. —The Dwarf, a claim of two men's ground, adjoining the Rainbow End, have also struck gold of a superior character, but I have not yet seen any'of the specimens. The Rev. Father Francis paid the district a visit on Friday, and-he returned to Shortland yesterday. He preached on Sunday at the Catholic Church, Upper Township, to an over flowing congregation.—The Rev. Mr; Nekon is to pay us a visit towards the end of the week, and will preach on Sunday next in the School room at the Upper Township.

[Fnoit Today's "Thames Advjjbtiseb."] The Clyde axd Ttnb. —A small lot of about 7 tons for the tribnters of the Clyde and Tyne claim is being crushed to-day at Bull's battery, and the show ou the plates gives promise of an average yield of 2ozs. to the ton. This stuff was taken out of the leader. A trial parcel of about 5 tons taken out of the large reef on the higher level has been crushed, but did not prove sufficiently rich to pay for working. The Golden Barque.—All the available force of Vickery's mill (now reduced to two stampers on account of want of water) is em ployed on a parcel of stone from the Golden Barque cl-iim,Hape Creek. The Shotovisb. —Yesterday and the previous day a magnificent lot of specimens wore taken out of tiie ShofcoverCompanv'sm'ne from the main lode, in the workings above the 70-feet level. Some of the stones were almost solid gold) as rich as any ever pro duced by either the Shotover or the Long Drive in their palmiest days. We have been requested by Mr. F. Phipps to state that on and after Monday next he will m ike two trips pill" diem to and from the Wliau as follows : From Whau, at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. ; and from Union Bank, Queen-street, at 10.30 a.m. and 5 p.m. This will un doubtedly be a great boon ||to our friends at the Whau, and we trust that Mr. Phipps will receive that amount of support which his un dertaking deserves.

What has been the > on sequence of this law. Five persons have been brought up under tho clause, at l.he Wauganui Court, &nd everyone of them ])aid the amount rather th;in go to prison. The Act has not borne upon any of these persons unfairly, for their ability to pay was establis hed by'the fact that they did pay. Here is an instance of men being made honest by Ac of Parliament. — Herald, November 7. ■■

EXECUTION OF A PRUSSIAN SPY.

~l^, ori. Amongst the minor tragpdies enacted in the present war was the execution pf a Prussian spy in Paris. Lieutenant Hatf % a Prussian infantry officer, was shot in thv^, .'eatsaaarAnf the Ecole Militaire. Tlie Paris RbrrespondaJt of the Daily News says that General Troehu thought of pubicly announcing the hour fixed for the execution, but, on consideration, it w deemed better not to attract a crowd to tl' spectacle. At five o'clock in the mornhfc Lieuteuant Harth was informed by M. Euth a Protestant clergyman of Lille, that hii last hour had come. A few minutes after, wards the prisoner was placed in a cellular carriage, and guarded by twelve gendarmes was taken to the Ecole Hilitaire. A consider' able body of troops of all arms—gendarmes" lancers, guides, and cuirassiers—was drawn up on the perade ground. The colonel-com mandant and a major, and captain of the staff present, When Harth got out of the cellular carriage he noticed the troops, and bowed to them several times. A delay of a quarter of an hour occurred, as the prisoner arrived on' the ground at 5.45, and the execution was ordered at six percisely. He was placed with his back to a wall in a sort of a rectsa in the barrack yard used for' shoeing horses. The fi-ing party consisted of two sergeants, two corporals, and six soldiers of- the 42nd Bern, ment. Two non-commissioned officers with loaded rifles were stationed behind thepeloton as a i*eserve in case of need. Harth begged at first that his hands might not be tied, and that his eyes might not be bandaged; but he ultimately consented. He also asked that as a soldier, he might be allowed to give the woi'd of command to fire. The registrar of the court-martial read the sentence of death, and during a momentary pause, the prisoner in a firm voice cried, " Present! fire!" But this was not the signal which the firing party had been told to wait for. The last syllable of the judgment had'scarcely been read when the officer commanding the peloton drew his sword. Then the soldiers put their rifles to their shoulders (jove is the French word for present), and took deliberate aim. The officer lowered his sword, and in an instant ffarth fell, several bullets striking him almost in-tho same place, and making an enormous hole in the region of the heart. Nevertheless, although the prisoner was quite dead, one of the sergeants in waiting came up to +,he corpse and lodged a bullet in his head. The body, with the clothes on just as the man fell, was placed in a coffin and takea to the Mont Parnasse cemetery for interment.

DEATH.
