The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1870.

Theee are many who hold that manufactories are ill-adapted to the circumstances of young countries. The general high price of labour, the absence of large realised capital seek ing investment, the dependence of a manufactory on the steady supply of the requisite raw or prepared material, whether vegetable, animal, or mineral, and ,the experimental and risky character of a new venture in new and untried circumstances, are all enu merated as obstacles in the way ol establishing colonial industries, and as having a deterrent effect on the con servative and cautious feelings of capital. There is force in the objec tions, and it must be owned that production of raw material rather than its elaboration in manufacture is more in character with the sentiments and position of young communities. But there may be circumstances in par ticular cases that more than counter vail ; and if we are not greatly mistaken those circumstances are to be found among us in relation to the manufacture of paper. Latest advices from England relative to the rise in price of this necessary of life, the gradual exaustion of almost every source of supplying the raw material, the enormous and increasing consump tion necessitated by the advance of civilization, combine to draw our attention to the approaching necessity for looking to our own supply of paper ; and we have the material to our hand in limitless abundance, the absence of which is becoming every where else the great obstacle to the manufacture. A cloud is at present hanging over New Zealand flax in home circles ; discouraging for a time

its application to cordage and textile fabrics. This discouragement arises from no questioning of the value of the fibre, but the injurious effects of the adherent substances. Perhaps it may be said without exaggeration that the fibre of New Zealand flax is superior in strength and other good qualities to any other in the world; and it is as certain as its existence, that chemical science, yet in its infancy, will overcome the difficulty. At present we know that difficulty can be overcome; and time alone is requisite to apply the means so cheaply as to make the fibre commercially available for cordage and linen. It is a question if that difficulty in any way debars the fibre from application to the manufacture of paper; or if the means, chemical and otherwise, used in preparing common rags for manu facture, would not exceed in cost the preparations necessary for removing the gum, if requisite, in turning the phormium tenax into paper. To a certain extent this is out of the region of experiment. Paper of the very strongest character and best quality has already been made from our fibre, and the expenditure of £50,000 a y.ear which the colonists of New Zea land make annually in the purchase of imported paper, is a guarantee for the demand. But this is only an approach to the extent of consumption that may arise from the extensive production of paper; articles of every kind in papier mache would follow in the wake. Clothing and furniture, embroidery, hats, bonnets, all from various prepara tions of paper are pouring in upon us from those two opposite poles of civilization, Japan and America; and it is known that the strongest and most durable piping in the world, for water and gas, has been produced from the same material. It is impossible to enumerate the advance that a few years will show in its application ; and the latter half of the nineteenth century promises to yet be called the " Paper Age." But, waving such considera tions, we have a present large demand; the time is most opportune, and it requires but -_me one of enterprise and spirit to move in getting up a company with a capital of some five or eight thousand pounds, to initiate a manufacture that not only promises to give a good return in dividends, but to confer an incalculable benefit on the public at large.

Theke was a fair attendance at the Prince of Wales Theatre last night, when the fine play of " Claude Duval" was produced, and for a first representation, was very well played. A regular Satur day night's programme is announced for to-night, and we have no doubt but that there will be a good attendance.. • 7.7

" Fever too late to mend" and " better^ late than never." We learn that fchll subject of the deputation, to Au.s_.alia half not heen abandoned, and^that so soon af Mr. Thomas Henderson returns from thef South, as expected per Airedale next week, he and Mr. James Cruicks hahfc will proceed forthwith on the mission. li is certainly late, but a kind of providencl is fighting for us, and Mr. Collie i. getting sufficient rope to hang Imnselft We can take no credit for foresight, inas-f much as it was not consistent with th-i dictates of ordinary common senste, thai sxich an amount of misrepresentatioi_| should have been used to win over thef Victorians, but it is questionable if asp much good would have been effected for our interests by the most eloquent advol cates, as will have been done by leaving the hero of the ' Nebraska' eat and drini 1 and talk with that perfect abandon whie^ has been produced by the unwonted jolly-; and glorious circumstances in which he! finds himself. Something must have hap-; pened to the machinery of the ' JN"ebras-l ka,' and as she had her steam up many, months ago, her non-appearance will soonV cause uneasiness. It is highly advisable! then that two of our most sensible and! judicious business) men should be speedilyl in Australia; and by a little timely in{ fluence show the advantages of an already;; established state of things over what isj vague and visionary. "We are confident that the departure on this mission of the two gentlemen indicated will give un- qualified satisfaction in this city. The diorama of " Paradise Lost" was; again exhibited last evening, at the New City Hall, before a very large audience,,, and was well received. Mr. Logan' afterwai'ds went through some of bis clever tricks, and displayed gieat skill inf the art of legerdemain. Several of thef tricks are very well done, and would stand beside the great Anderson. A large number of presents were given amongst the audience at the close of the perform ance. To-night a double amount of elegant gifts will be given away. We understand that yesterday evening during the passage of one of the steamers from the Thames, a Jacly passenger was relieved of her purse containing a sum of money. It appears that some one taking advantage of her being very sick, and in a state of consequent helplessness, from the pitching of the boat, pilfered her pocket, and there is a vague, undefined rumour of a woman having been seen handing out the purse to a man, who must be her accomplice. We trust that our vigilant detectives will find the scent, but the circumstance should be a warning to ladies travelling, to prepare for these little incidents in sea-sickness. Thkke was a capital attendance at the Theatre lioyal last evening, when " The Honeymoon" and "1 he Poor Strollers," were produced. Mrs. Jackson as Julianna, in the former piece, was indeed a clever piece of acting, and this lady well deserved the applause she received. The other characters were all well sustained. The fine drama of " The Poor .Strollers" concluded the performance, and seemed to highly amuse the audience. To-night the Star Company give their farewell peiformauce, and a good bill being an nounced, we have no doubt but that Lhere will be a crowded house. The Rev. J. Buller, from the Thames, will preach at High-street Wesleyan Church to-morrow morning, and at Pitt street Church in the evening. Tub following information as to ascertaining the age of a horse, after it has passed a ninth year, is quite new to us, and will bo to the most of our readers:—After tho horse is niue years old, a wrinkle comes on the eyelid at the upper corner of the lower lid, and every year thereafter he has one well defined wrinkle for each year of his age over nine. If, for instauce, ahorse has three wrinkles, he is twelve. Add the number of wrinkles to niue, you will always get his age. Henby Sheppard Kjrkwood has filed his schedule. A meeting of the creditors of John Bennett is advertised for the Ist July. The choice of John Mowbray and Thomas Macffurlane as trustees in the estates of Jienry Powning Stark and Robert Henry Baitlett, has been con firmed. The said It. If. Bartletfc intends to apply to pass his last examination on the 301h June, and tho said .11. P. btark on the-11th August. The p.s. Duke of Edinburgh leaves Auckland on Monday, at 12.30 o'clock* and will remain at the Thames for three hours, returning at 4 p.m. A T-._tßi-.L-- gun accident occurred last Sunday, at VVaiwera. Four boys went out shooting with a gun, and one of them —i son of Mr. Meai—whilst standing on a fata log drew the gun towards him by the muzzle. The hammer was down, and must have struck against the log, as the gun went off, and the charge entered his side causing almost instant death. He staggered back a few paces exclaiming, " Bob, I'm shot," and expired. The lad was aged fifteen years. An inquest was held, and a verdict returned of accidental death. Ir is notified that the payment of Pensioners will lake place as follow. : — Auckland, July Ist; Onehunga, July 6th ; Otahuhu, July Bth; Drury, July Bth -, Panmure, ..ugust 4th; and Howick, July 4th. __ m

Sib, —I have read the report of the proceed ings in bankruptcy in the above oase, and as some of the statements reported to have been made by Mr. R. T. Gunn, if uncontradicted, arc likely to prejudicially affect me, I beg the favor of a space in your columns to refute some of those statements, and I may state, as it seems probable that I shall be examined as a witness in the case, if I am allowed, I shall refute, upon oath, Mr. Gunn's statements, and I can substantiate my refutation by the evi dence of others. Ronald Thomas Gunn is reported to have sworn that, "He (meaning me) handed the lot produced (referring to the invoices and papers then before the Court) but refused to give the remainder. Ho (meaning me) did not 3tate when he refused to * give up the bills of lading, that he had a lien on the goods they represented." If this is what Mr. Gunn swore, then I must say at least, Mr. Gunn has a very convenient memory. I am prepared to swear that I gave up all invoices in my possession, and that I withheld none from Mr. Gunn. Further, 1 distinctly told Mr. Gunu I refused to give up the bills of lading, because I had a lien on certain goods in my possession, for advances made, and until that lien was satisfied I refused to give up the documents, which were actually my title for the property in my hands. But I allowed Mr. Gunn to take, and I believe he did make, a copy of the contents of those bills of lading; and to his query whether I would keep thorn intact, I replied, " Certainly," and allowed Mr. Gunn to roll them up, place a sheet of foolscap round Them, and tie them with a string, offering at the same time to allow him to seal them; but he said he did not think it necessary to seal them, having seen everything else done. Since that date I have never been asked for the bills of lading, though my lion has been paid off. Mr. Gunn is reported to have sworn that he would not accept Mr. Cohen's offer, but he did not, as I am informed, state that which he very well knew, that I offered him the use of a private office, the services of my book keeper, and the free control of all my books and papers, for the purpose of making up or checking the accounts between myself and Lipstine. I certainly refused to allow any books out of my possession, as they contained entries relating to the business of other parties to the extent of £60,000 to £70,000. But had Mr. Gunn chosen, he could have examined into all matters as closely and; minutely as if he had taken the books out of my office. I might suggest a cause for Mr. Gunn's hostility to myself, but I do not think it worth while. People who are so ready to make and insinuate charges against others must, of course, be certain there is nothing in their own antecedents which will not bear the strictest scrutiny.—Yours, _c, , Albert E. Cohj-N.

A BOAT ACCIDENT. — NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.

Two men were picked up at an early hour this morning, while clinging to the bottom of an up-turned boat, off ,tho Piako. It appears that as Captain McAmuy, of the cutter Ota huhu, was leaving the Piako, where he had been detained for a tide through taking the ground on the previous day, after landing.a cargo of telegraph poles, he heard faint cries, as of some person in distress, but could per ceive no object on the water for a time. Presently, however, the cries became more distinct, and a dark object was visible some distance off, which the cutter was put about to reach, in the hope of rendering assistance if necessary. They were not long is discover ing that the object of their attention was a capsized boat of some description, to which two men were clinging for very life. The men were found to be very much exhausted - one of them even unable to stand on reaching the cutter. The unfortunate fellows were fishermen, who left tho Grahamstown wharf in a well equipped boat, about half-past 12 o'clock last night, for Piako. — Evening Mail. 1

A DELICATE MACHINE.

The King of Prussia recently visited a needle manufactory in his kingdom, arid was shown a number of superfine needles, thousands of which together did not weigh half an ounce, and marvelled how such minute articles could be pierced with an eye. The eye-borer asked for a hair from the King's head. He placed it under the boring-machine, made a hole in it, furnished it with a thread, and then handed the needle to the King.

MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY.

The journals of Toulouse publish accounts of a mysterious murder at Boux (Haute- Garonne). A tailor disappeared more than two months back, leaving a. wife and three children. He had attended a fair at Saint] Beat, where he went to pay a debt of 800fiv, and was seen at an inn with his creditor, who had been overheard to say to him, " Pay me the interest only, and leave .the capital to another time." A short time back an anonymous writing was picked up in a street, of Saint-Beat, bearing the words, "Search the cellars of the town, and you will find ' the man you are looking for. The authorities in consequence made a perquisition, aided by dogs, and discovered some human remains "in a vault beneath the inn in which the tailor had been last seen. The body had been cut into pieces, buried beneath a thick layer of salt, by which it had been preserved from decomposition.

STARVATION OF A CHILD BY HIS FATHER.

Before Mr. Baron Cleasby, Abraham Rock, mason, was charged vt ith the manslaughter of Benjamin Kock, at Barnsley, on the 6th of March.* The prisoner was a stonemason, and the boy in question, his son, was nearly two years of age: and the prisoner was indicted .that he, being a man of sufficient had not provided enough food for the child, from which lack of nourishment the lad had died. The prisoner was a man ' who could obtain plenty of work, but he had unhappily given way to drink. The child in question, five weeks before his death, appeared to be very healthy, but he subsequently sickened, for want of food and medical attendance, and ultimately died. On th. 28th of Novem ber the prisoner's daughter, a girl of thirteen, applied to him for some money to buy food. He gave her 1 s Bd., and from that time up to the 6th of March, when the child died, the prisoner gave her no more money. Prisoner had cottages that brought him in ss. 6d. per week, and he could also have made good wages at his trade. According to the evidence of I one of the neighbour women, when the children had no food for two days he threatened he would whip them if they did not lie still in bed. A number of witnesses' having been called in support of the prosecution, Mr. Campbell Foster, for the defence, contended that it was the duty of the relieving officer' to have administered relief in the first place, and then to have taken steps against the father to recover the expense. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to five years' penal servitude.
