The Evening Star: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1870.

Anyone that has seen the working of a' " Commercial Room" in other cities must -feel gratified that the subject of the establishment of such an institution in Auckland has been mooted in our Cham ber of Commerce. As will be seen from the report'of' yesterday's meeting of the Chamber^ of Commerce overtures have be. en inside;: from Greville & Co. through their agent here, aud that the matter has been referred to a committee to report at a subsequent meeting. The success that has attended these rooms in the hands of the gr,eat Australian telegraphic! company, the favour wjith which, especially in Melbourne, is regarded by commercial men, and the conveniences it has afforded for the transaction of busi ness aud obtaining the latest reliable jin formation regarding the operations jof commerce, area guarantee that the opening ~

of such an institution, when once-its ad vantages become known, would meet a very cordial approval. It is irae we. have news-rooms, with their seveiaT advantages; -'lsifet without saying, auy thing derogatory to/\any .of fthem, there is ijioneV having tliat special feature possessed by the " Coni mercial Eoems" of Melbourne. With telegraphic wires leading into the estab lishment, with" the immediate poating-up of the arrival and departure of vessels throughput thelerigth'and breadth of the colonies, and of all intelligence regarding the state of the markets and the iluctua tipns of trade, with news specially pre pared for its bearing, on commercial interests, the " Commercial Rooms" have possessed a speciality not -to be expected from Schools of Art, Mechanics' Institutes, Public Libraries, or general newsrooms ; while full files of all colonial newspapers and tra.de circu lars, for obtaining which Greville and Go-i as-telegraphic-.agents Jor. :nearly all the principal papers of the colonies, have, of course, special facilities, have made those rooms the standard reference on everything relating to commercial trans 'acfions. That Auckland should have such a flourishing concern as that of Mel bourne is not to be expected, but con sidering the enterprise of the company, its connection with Keuter and Co., the great telegraphic agents over Kirope, and the experience acquired by the pre vious working of the system, tliere cannot be a doubt that the " Commercial Rooms" in-Auckland vrould be an eminent suc cess. While as an " Exchange," at whi.-h commercial men would meet and inter change ideas, and transact or initiate business, they would supply a place for which w c have no attempt nt an equivalent in Auckland. We trust that the idea will he favorably entertained by the Chamber of Commerce, and by com mercial men in general, and whether car ried out in its proposed form or not, that Auckland will become as other cities are in the possession of some kind of " Exchange " or institution devoted specially to the promotion, of intercourse among our commercial men," and to the obtaining, systematically, of all the latest intelligence bearing on commercial ques tions.

" Mario Sluart" was reproduced at the Prince of Wales Theatre last night, with Mis* Rose Evans as the heroine. There was a moderate attendance. To-nigh;- Miss Evans takes a benefit, the play being the " Daughter of the Regiment," and the farce of " Nan. the Good for Nothing."

The " Auckland Original Variety Troupe of Minstrels" gave an entertainment lnsl night at the Catholic Institute, in aid of the funds for the orphans of the Sisters of Mercy. The object was the purest and best; the atten dance was; ; small, and the " MinistreLs " did their very best.

For the greater benefit of 'yfadame Moller's concert the City Hall was closed1 last night. To-night as usual Mr. George Cotterell will continue his very interesting impersonations, when we hope to see a well-filled: house to appreciate the really admirable acting of Mr. Cotterell. The rapidity with which this ever varying entertainment proceeds, without a moment's flagging interest, and the laughter provoking powers of the actor, are really de serving of a bumper house every night from the people of this city.

There was a fair attendance last night at the Music Hall, the occasion being a benefit to Madame Moller. We are glad further to learn that a very large number of tickets had been disposed of besides those represented by the audience, bo that this lady, who has always becu a favourite in 'Auckland, and who so generously assists in benefits, will de rive a satisfactory return from the concert. The entertainment was a very successful one, the programme being well selected, and 'the performance giving great satisfaction, some of the songs sung by the fair beneficiaire being very sweetly and feelingly rendered. v-- j

The Auckland Ethiopian Troupe, ■who, du ring their short career, " have won golden opinions from all sorts of people," and whose last entertainment, at the Music Hall, was such a splendid success, will give another at the City Hall, on Monday evening next, with such an array of " distinguished patronage" us is quite overpowering. His Excellency Sir George and Lady Bowen, His Honor the Superintendent, the Colonial Treasurer, and the Committees of the Institutions that have benefitted by the efforts of the Minstrels, lend ing their names to the Troupe. The object is to provide a "supply of musical- instruments for the company, and as the efforts of the company are .wholly devoted to charitable and public purposes, we have no doubt the public will requite them, and show appreciation of really good performances, by crowding the City fiall to the door.

''■ Many eyes "were directed towards Lower Queen-street this morning, attractutl by the beautiful and;sonbrous tones of the bell just elevated into the clock tower of the New Zealand Insurance Company's building. The tones are exceedingly sweet, and can, we think, be heard far beyond the utmost out skirts of the city. The tasteful style of this edifice, which is now, approaching completion, the tall and graceful tower, and the clock one of the largest and finest in the Southern colonies —will constitute the handsomest feature in oiir main, thoroughfare ; while as a means of keeping the community "up to time,"ithe,three faces of ; the dock,,at. such an elevation, and of such a size, will afford ex ceeding^ convenience to the public.

The Chamber of Commerce held its'monthly meeting yesterday aiternoon.at the,hall of the Mechanics' Institute, tie Vice-President, Mr. Yon der Heyde, in the chair. There was a fair-attendance of members. ~ A proposal was received from Greville and Co. (Reuter^s agents) for the'e'stablishment of a ''Cbinniiereial Room" in the city, and.-,asking the co-opera tion of the Chamber. The subject was referred to a committee'to. .report/ The subject of the conflicting provisions in the Gold Export Duty Act of the late session was brought before the Chamber, and a resolution was carried affirnring-the principle that it is the duty of the Government to carry out the expressed intentions of the Legislature, and collect the smallerduty.unpoae,a on gold.

DEPARTURE OP THE BLANCHE FOR

AUCKLAND

WELLINGTON.

October 10. — Archdeacon Hadfield was yesterday consecrated Bishop of Wellington in St. Paul's Cathedral, by the Lord Primate, assisted by the Bishops of Waipu, Auckland, and Nelson. The service was choral, and.the assembly immense, crowds had to go away. The Bishop o{ Waipu preached a sermon in which he defended the Church "from the charge of having failed to benefit the native race. The oaths of tbe Queen's supremacy and of obedience were omitted ; but a declara tion was made in lieu of the latter. Bishop Hadfield was formally inducted in the even ing by the Lord Primate, and led to his chair by the Eev. Mr. Stock, the oldest clergyman in the diocese. The Primate preached. At St. Paul's the Bishop of Nelson preached most eloquently. The whole, proceedings were solemnly impressive,— H.M.S. Blanche leaves for Auckland to-day with the English mail. ,

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.-INQUEST.

Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock an inquest was held at the Eden Vine Hotel, to i> Squire into the cause of death of Jane Costello, a child of two years old. . A jury having been sworn, and having viewed the body, the evi dence of Bridget Costello, the mother of the child, was taken by the coroner at her bed side, the witness being too ill to leave her bod. She stated that on the previous day, after hav ing settled up the kitchen, about 10 o'clock, she placed a four-gallon kerosene can, about half-full of water,on the water. The child was lying .on the floor. When the water boiled she took the tin off the fire to empty it into a tub, in order to wash some clothes. In order to lift the tin, which had no handle, she placed a towel round the itop of it., and in trying to move the child with her foot she lost her hold of- the tin,.,and let it fall, nearly the whole of the water falling on the child. She carried the child into the front room, and on stripping off. its clothes, some of the cuticlo was turn off. The child did riot scream much. She dressed the scalds with flour, and afterwards with rags steeped in olive oil. The child' died 'about three hours and a half-afterwards.-ifHer brother in-law, Bernard -Martin, was lying on the sofa in the kitchen, at tjie time of the accident, and was the only pefsoti £a tne ' house beside herself.—Bernard;?"Martin's "evidence was next taken, and wasiexactlyto the same effect as that of.^he.previous, witnes^. He had on; several occasions 'eeeh Mrs! Co?tello using the kerosene tin for,, boiling . waiter _ in. . Mrs.; Costellb'is very pbdr, and has' to support her three 'remaining •' children by washing. —, Samuel' Brown, one of the hospital-uui-s&t, and brother-in-law of Mrs. Costello; gave, evidence.

Part'of its face was scalded,; as was also the chest, belly, backy-and legs." Most of the cuticle was stripped off the scalded parts. He dressed the wounded parts with the usual liniment, but he had no hope of its recovery, ./iffifejvas tne whole o£ the evidence, aud.the jury.returned, a verdict that the deceased JaAe' Costello was accidentally scalded to death.
