The old shares, with right of new, we have have sold »t £15 10s., but they are now at least ss. lower ; this has been caused by opera tions in the new shares, there being a good zaany sellers, although in small parcels.

The Evening Star. FRIDA Y, SEPTEMBER 30, 1870.

Many will be sorry to hear that the favour ite little sterraer Royal Alfred is about to leave this port. She wae purchased yesterday by a Southern gentleman, and it is rumoured thut she is intended to trade among the islands o^ the Fiji group. The ripid advance of these islands demands, we have no doubt, such intercommunication, and nothing could be more suitable than this nice little steamer for floating in and out through the coral reefs, and visiting the various settlements that are clustering together in those sunny seas.

The s.s. Alhambra arrived at Newcastle, from the Fijis, on the 19 th instant. Captain Cadell was a passenger by her.

The monthly inspection of the Auckland Naval Artillery and Naval Volunteers will be held in Fort Britomart, on Tuesday evening next, at 7 p.m.

We regret that an error appeared in our report of Mr. S. Jones' sale, in last evening's issue. The Maori Chief brought £325 instead of £150, and the Royal Alfred was purchased by a Southern gentleman for the sum of £1225, and not withdrawn at £1525 as re ported. The terms of the sale were net cash on the fall of the hammer.

In the Provincial Government Gazette, pub lished to-day, there are notified the intention of granting a gold mining lease at the Thames to R. Blazard ; the appointment of George Keough to be collector and ranger for the Mount Wellington District ; the re-hearing of an Upper Thames land claim, Te Arohn, at the Native Lands Court to be lr Id at Auck land on 20th December ; a long list of native titles to be investigated at a Court to be held at Turanganui on 25th November, and of others at Haruru, Waitangi, on 21st and 22nd November ; a sitting of the Native Lands Court, at Shortland, on Bth November, for re-hearing cases of native claims at Coroman del ; and lists of Crown grants awaiting delivery at the office of the Registrar of Deeds in High-street.

The p.s. Challenger will take tbe place of th e Duke, and leave at the time advertised thjs evening and to-morrow.

A cricket match will be played between the Grafton Road and the Brighton Clubs, in the Domain, on Saturday next j wickets to be pitched at one o'clock.

The letter on the Fencing Act by " G. E." will appear to-morrow.

BENEFIT TO THE ORPHAN HOME.

We are gratified in having to record an unqualified success achieved last night by the Auckland Troupe of Ethiopian Minstrels, at the Music Hall, in aid of the funds of the Orphan Home. The entertainment was under the patronage of Lady Bowen, who, with Sir George an i the juvenile members of their family, and the officers of the Resaca, attended, and apparently greatly enjoyed the perform ances. The Hall was quite full, and the per formers in their best mood. Mrs. Woolley, whose instrumentation has now made her promised aid so attractive to the people of Auckland, kindly as-dsred, and, with several amateurs, pleasantly diversitied the perform ance. The songs, choruses, and comicalities in which this troupe specially excels were very good, and this deserving company have the satisfaction oi knowing that a very handsome donation will be handed over for the poor fatherless and motherless children at Parnell.

THE MAORI GORILLA.

The strange animal reported to have been found at Porter's Creek, on the other side of the river, we were informed last night by some natives that it is simply a seal. Whether the person who brought the first news of its being caught had never seen such an animal before, or could not resist the opportunity for drawing upon his imagination, we cannot say ; certain it is that the animal hus very little re semblance to the monster it was represented to be. —Thames Evening Star,

GOLD FROM KENNEDY'S BAY.

Several small parcels of nuggety gold were yesterday brought up from Kennedy's Bay, and sold at the Union Bank of Australia for the high, price of 70s. an ounce.—Thames Evening 3fail.

He would not worry cattle, nor was he a savage clog. I hat dog had been destroyer!, and he hud been unable to replace him. £20 would not be more thim a fair compensation for that dog.

September 23: Eichard Thame, "William Walker, and George Hopkius, who were re cintly convicted of having and using an illicit still, were yesterday apprehended on a charge of conspiring together to defraud Her Majesty the Qneen. They were admitted to bail in £200 each for their appearance to answer the charge.—Captain Gallois. owner and late mas ter of the barque Aurifera, which foundered on her passage from Newcastle to New Cale donia, in July last, was brought before the Water Police Court yesterday, charged, upon the information of Michael Robinson, late chief officer of the vessel, with having scuttled the Aurifera, with the intention of defrauding the National Marine Insurance Company. — l'he Exhibition is visited by thousands of people daily.—lmport markets are quiet but firm. Disposition on part of both buyers and , sellers to defer transactions until after receipt of news by mail. Candles enquired for; liquors at last quotations ; second class brandies in better request.

MELBOURNE. September 1G : The French despatch vessel Surcouf sailed for Noumea, New Caledonia, to day. It reported that the officers had accepted and then declined the Governor's invitation to dine at Toorak. The facts are these :—Captain Crudell« and his officers were invited to the Wednesday evening party at Toorak, but they expressed great regret that, on account of the pressure of work connected with their anticipated departure on the follow in/T morning, they were unable to accept the invitation. They did not refuse the invitation at. the last moment, as was currently reported. —Great disappointment is felt at the scratch ing of Little Dick, as he was backed freely at 10° to 1. Croydon remains first favorite at 8 to 1.

September 17 : Coleman, Cawson, and Hanna have been committed for trial for salt ing the Revival Reef at Ballarat.—Supple has been placed in a condemned cell.—Keepsake has been backed for the Derby and Cup at at 1000 to IO.JTim Whifller's price for the Cup is 10 to 1 ; Croydon is a point less, but little business has been clone. —200 tons of flour were sold at £12 10s. 4,000 bags of sugar ex Mary Crack lord, sold at auction at current rates—ration, £26 9s. to £29 6d.; brown, £30 to £32 6s. ; raw to good yellow, £31 to £36.

Sept. 21.—The flour market is firm since the receipt of the English news; but little general business is expected till the Suez lnail arrives. Public opinion here inclines to the belief that the pending battle at Metz will be won by the French, but the colonists gene rally look on calmly. Now that Belgian inde pendence is assured, English cb.anc.ss of being involved are considered remote. Sept. 22. —Berlowitz has been sentenced to eleven months' imprisonment for fraudulent insolvency.—Pleuio-pneumonia is reported to have broken out in the Mansfield district. — A petition is being signed, asking for a com mutation of Stipple's sentence, on the ground of insanity.

the free list; cornsacks, woolpaks, ore bags, and gunnies are put on the 5 per cent, list; drugs and chemicals are all put on the 10 per cent. list. The House agreed to make a 5 per cent, list, but all unenumerated articles are to be considered as on the 10 per cent list.— The war news has caused great excitement, especially among the Germans. AtTanuuda, our largest and most important German town ship, there was a perfect furore, and the re joicings were kept up all night. September 21.—Out of 3000 bags of sugar offered this morning, some 800 bags were sold at full rates.—The Government have given six months before the new arrangement as to duties on spirits shall be enforced.

Despatch, dated Metz, August 9, states : — The Emperor went this morning to tke head quarters of Marshal Bazaine, who resumed command of the troops stationed at Metz. This is an indirect way of contradicting the rumour that Bazaine was to be made Generalissimo of the whole army of the Ehine. The Emperor is blind to his own in competency, and, disregarding the universal outcry against him, will cliug to the chief command of the army until another defeat exhausts the national patience. La France still asserts that the Prince Imperial is with his papa at the theatre of war, and will not return unless the Chambers expressly desire it. Begun, August 11. The belief is quite general here in official circles that the French empire is near its end, and that a military regency will soon be established, or a republic declared. The appointment of Marshal Bazaine is looked upon as an abdication by Napoleon of his military supremacy, and people think this will soon be followed by some act divesting him of civil supremacy. It is reported that Mr. Washburn, American Minister at Paris, has his hands full on account of the number of Germans who have claimed the protection of his flag. A copy of the Austrian neutrality circular has been received. The diplomats who hare read it think Austria is gratified by the out break with France whose sympathisers discredit the rumour that she will aid their side. It is generally believed that Austria will ultimately be found on the side of Prussia, and it is supposed that Italy will assist France, notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary.

The feature of the New York produce markets today was a decline in wheat and flour. The bears are very prophetic that low prices will rule.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM

THIS DAY,

THE ELECTION.

G-bahamstown, 2.30 p.m. The poll has closed, showing Mitchell to have recorded 298 votes, and Grove 150; or a majority of 148 for the former.

The Clyde and Tyne.—The tributers of the Clyde and Tyne claim, in To Papa, Gully, have commenced a crushing at the F.M.K. battery. There is a large quantity of stuff to grass, which has accumulated in paddocks while the roads were unfit for sending the stuff to the mill, and as the stuff now going through—which is a fair trial of the heap -is showing up for an average return, the tributers will, doubtless, make the mine pay well.

The Tower of London, Waio-Karaka Creek, have obtained a yield of 120 ozs. retoited gold frcrn their crushing of 52 tons of general stuff.

'1 he Resaca claim, Tapu Creek. —A parcel of gold, weighing 26 ozs. 9 dwts., retorted, was to-day brought up from the Resaca claim, Tapu Creek, and realised sixty-three shillings an ounce. The gold was melted, and reduced to 25 ozs. 17 dwts.
