S. B. Biss, Chief Postmaster,

The Evening Star. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1870.

Last evening a very interesting service -was held in Pitt-street Weyleyan Church, before a large congregation, to welcome the arrival in Auckland of four young ministers from England, namely, the Revs. Messrs. Smalley, Issett, Lewis, and Williams. The Revs. C. W. Eigg and J. Buller made some remarks, in course of which they, in -the name of the Wesleyans of Auckland, welcomed the rev. gentlemen and expressed thanks for their safe arrival, and a hope that they might be emi nently successful in their new spheres of labor. Addresses having been delivered by each of the young ministers, the Eev. J. Wallis offered up prayer, and this most interesting meeting was brought to a close about half-past me o'clock. Mr. Tinne lectures on "Protection of Local^ Industries," this evening, at the Mechanics' Institute, under the auspices of the Local In dustry League. Admission is free, and we have no doubt that, from the popularity of the subject, there will be a good attendance. The case of Augustus Lemme, charged with stealing four bags of gum, was continued yes terday at the Supreme Court, and brought to a close at half-past seven o'clock, when the jury returned into Court, after half-au-hour's absence, with a verdict of "Not guilty." Lemme was then discharged. The s.s. Go-Ahead will leave for the Bay of Islands and Ahipara, at four o'clock to-mor row (Thursday). A first meeting of the creditors in the estate of John Moss was convened to be held at the office of theProvisionalTrustee.SupremeCourt, at noon yesterday. The bankrupt styles him self a " merchant," late of Durham-street. The liabilities are put down at £259, and the assets (nominally) £45. The meeting was adjourned for a week. _ The Eoman correspondent of L'ltalie says: —" If I say little about the scandals of the day, it is not because none exist, but from decorum. The great influx of clerical digni taries, many of them very wealthy, has caused by no means an improvement in morals. Without any particular scandal, I may mention that recently the sbirri of the Cardinal Vicar have been unusually busy, being charged to make numerous arrests,J not for political or doctrinal reasons but in order to check the ugly rumors which were current respecting several of the foreign bishops. Some of them were in the habit of receiving visitors of such a peculiarly unclerical nature, and the scandal was so loud, that his Eminence was determined to make a general onslaught for the sake of public decency. In pursuance of these in structions to the police a large number of " ladies" who were perpetually going to con fession at the bishops' private residence have been locked up, amidst the derisive sneers of the Eoman people "

Tenders are required for the removal and erection of the Grand Stand on the Epsom Race-course.

The assessment list of the Dedwood High way District is posted up at the Sii-folk Arms hotel, College Road. Appeals will bo heard on the 28th instant, from noon until 2 o'clock, p.m. A meeting of the trustees of the Savings Bank will be held on Monday next, at 4 o'clock, p.m. Tenders are required for the office of Pro vidore of the steamer Golden Crown.

o'clock

Deed of Assignment.—Mr. Hughes ap plied to the Court for an order for the com plete execution of a deed of assignment made by Charles Canning for the benefit of his cre ditors.

Twenty four creditors out of thirty-four had signed the deed. There being no opposition, his Honor granted the necessary order. In be Thomas Milne Maohattie.—On the motion of Mr. Sheehan, who appeared for the bankrupt, this case was adjourned until 11 o'clock this morning. In be John Smith.—The bankrupt, who had been previously examined, came up for his discharge.—Mr. Macgregor Hay said that he opposed Mr. Smith's discharge, but Mr. Wynn, who was retained in the case, was

absent. — The bankrupt stated that his solicitor, Mr. Rees, was also absent. — The provisional trustee informed the Court that although the bankrupt had set apart a sum from his assets for the payment of his legal expenses, he had not paid the fee for drawing up the report.—His Honor intimated that in future he would not grant any bank rupt his discharge until it was notified that the proper fees had been paid to the trustee. The case was then postponed until two o'clock.

POLICE COURT— Thursday.

(Before T. Eitchie and A. Clark, Esqs.,

Justices.)

Dbtjnkenness.—Georgina Fowler and W. Burke were fined each 5s and costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours with hard labour. A. Marshall forfeited bail.

Larceny.— Catherine Douglas pleaded guilty to, having stolen one show bottle from the shop *of James Liuley, of Victoria-street. Pleaded guilty also to having stolen a decanter from the Occidental hotel. For each offence she was sentenced to one month's imprison ment. The Late Whipping Case.—Simon Lip stine was charged with having, on the 13th inst., assaulted A. E. Cohen, by striking him with a whip, and trying to choke him.—Mr. McCormick for the'prosecution; Mr. Joy for the defence.—A. E. Cohen deposed : About a week ago I met defendant near Wellesley street. He threatened me masonically, viz., that he would " cut my throat from ear to ear, and tear my breast out." I took no notice of it. Day before yesterday I was coming down Queen street. I met Mr. Lipstine and Mr. Chapelle coming from the wharf. Lipstine said " How about that book." I replied, " I told you that I mislaid it; so soon as I can lay my hands on it I will give it to you." He had in his hand a short, brass-bound heavy hunting whip. On passing on I found myself seized by the collar, and turning round I saw the whip descending on my head. It broke my hat. He struck at me again, which I caught on my hand. I then took hold of the whip and we struggled for it; when he attempted to kick me. ° Mr David Graham interfered, and being nearly choked, and as I was tied, black in the face, I was released. I believe from his impulsive charac fer that he will do me some serious injury unless he is restrained. —To Mr. Joy : I have been acting as Mr. Lip stine's agent. It was in connection with his bankruptcy that he said that if I did not hold my tongue he would cut my throat. He did not ask me about a cheque. I did not say that I might as well have the money as his creditors. I gave no provocation. The whip produced was not the one with which I was struck. In the examination in the bank ruptcy case of Mr. Lipstine, the Chief Justice imputed blame to me. He said that if my accounts had been as well kept as those of Mr. Lipstine, the examination would not have continued so long as it had, and Mr. Lipstine might not have been in the same condition.—Joseph Graham Percy : Defend ant came to my Bhop day before yesterday and borrowed a riding whip. It was the whip produced, he brought it back. He told me he was going to give a man a flogging. I told Mr. Cohen that the whip had been burned. lam positive the whip produced is the one borrowed. He told mo when he came back that he had assaulted Mr. Cohen. I did not know where the whip was when Mr. Cohen asked me.-To Mr. Joy: The whip was j_ot "injured on being returned. —John Bennett detailed the circumstances of the assault. It was with a whip similar to that produced.—Mr. Joy addressed the Bench with great force in reply to the evidence. —Fined 40s. and costs, but not ordered to give security to keep the peace. Assault.—Peter Dowd was charged with aseaulting Ellen Dowd by striking her on the face with his fist. Mr. Wynn for the com plainant. Mr. Bees for the defence.—Ellen Dowd deposed : We have been fifteen years married. We have three children living, one being three weeks old. On Tuesday last, when sitting at home, the assault was com mitted. He is as good as man as could be if it was not for drink. He struck me in the face. I fear that he may do me some grievous harm. Mr. Rees addressed the Bench for the defence. —Ordered to give his bond for £25, and two sureties of £10 each to keep the peace for three months.

Thomas McCaul was charged with attempt ing to set fire to two folding doors, the pro perty of D. Nathan, on the night of the 14th December. —Thomas Orday, a lad, deposed to having seen defendant, last night, opposite the Greyhound Hotel, and looking very hard at it. Was talking to himself. He went up Hardington's yard. He lighted a match, and set something on fire. Men went up and turned him out. He was intoxicated at the time.—James Rodgers, another lad, deposed to the same circumstances, and to defendant having stated that ho was looking for a shil ling. The paper burning was under a large gate. — Ordered to give surety, himself in £20, and one surety in £10, to keep the peace for one month. A_sat.lt. —J. Madigan was charged with having assaulted A. Twelvetrees. Mr. Joy for prosecutor; Mr. Wynn for the defence. — Complainant deposed: Yesterday afternoon, in my house, I heard defendant using insult ing language in the shop. On my coming out I saw him strike Mrs. Nairn across the shoul ders. I asked him to go out, and not make a noise. He then struck me in the face, and knocked me down. —Cross-examined by Mr. Wynn.— Mary Jane Nairn, a child of nine years, corroborated the circumstances related. —Mrs. Emma Nairn also corroborated the facts of the assault.—Fined 20s. and costs, or to be imprisoned seven days.

ARRIVAL OF THE 'TARANAKI'

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

Geevilm's Telegram: Company (Reuters,

Agent.]

DUNEDIN. December B.—The Bon. Mr. Vogel met the electors in the Piincess Theatre, which was crowded to suffocation, there being fully two thousand persons present. For the first half-hour the greatest uproar prevailed, and the mob would only hear James Gor don Stuart Grant, who was twice forcibly re moved —once by the police—but he contrived to return shortly after six, and commenced to speak for ten minutes, but was not heard. When something like silence was restored, there was only half an hour for Mr. Vogel to speak in. He said the charges of the Times against the Government in the matter of the Suez telegrams were the purest fabrica tions, as the purser of the steamer was a per sonal friend of Mr. H. George, printer of the Melbourne Argus, and obtained the news con tained in their third edition from him.which he gave to the operator at the Bluff, who trans mitted it to Wellington. He also said the Government had received most favourable assurances from England of our ability to raise loans, aad that the money would be forthcoming. Even now, the Government were prepared to carry out the proposed works.— Mr. Vogel promises, if time permits, to give another address. Thera is no question that a strong party was organised to prevent Mr. Vogel speaking at the meeting, and the greatest dissatisfaction at the result was loudly expressed by every well thinking person. December 7. —The Times has a most abu sive article, and says that as an expression of public opinion the meeting showed that the public is decidedly opposed to the policy of the Ministry ; whereas public opinion is quite the contrary. All the con fusion arose from a mistaken zeal in forcibly ejecting Grant, and tho foolhardiness of the Mayor and his supporters. Some forty persons made all the noise. The great body of the people were anxious to hear Vogel. A numerously signed requisition, asking him to re-address the electors, has been got up.— Macandrew has sent in his resigna tion. — Bradshaw opposes Mackaie. — Calder opposes Wood at Invercargill.— Wood and three other Southland members re ceived a most disagreeable reception yesterday on account of the action of the extension of the boundaries, and were publicly attacked with threats and insulting cries. They had to seek refuge in the railway station. —The Star's leader professes to clear up the tele graph question.

CHRISTCHURCH.

December 9.—The following paragraph in the Otago Daily Times, of December 6, is ut terly untrue :—" According to the Lyttelton Times it is expected (says the Otago Times) that at the general elections the country districts of Canterbury will return candidates opposed to the Government policy." I assure you public feeling is quite the reverse.

HOKITIKA.

December 9.—The country elections came off yesterday, Mr. W. S. Reidand the Hon. J. A. Bonar were re-elected for Hokitika. The election was well contested, and great excite ment prevailed during the day.

WELLINGTON.

Dec. 6th.—The cutter Supply, from Have lock, went ashore inside Pencarrow heads last night, and is likely to become a total wreck. — Horace Baker was found guilty of forging Commodore Lambert's endorsement to a bill of exchange. The sentence is postponed, as several points of law have been reserved for the Court of Appeal. Dec. 7, 8 p.m.—E. Puni is to be buried on Friday, with great ceremony, at the expense of the General Government. The public offices will be closed, and the town Volunteer Corps is ordered to the Hutt to take part in the ceremony, the Rangatira being chartered for their conveyance.

ALL SAINT'S CHURCH BAZAAR.

This Bazaar is to be held on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 29th, 30th, and 3lßt of this month. Ladyßowen, we believe, will attend at the opening on the 29th, and it is very probable that the Duke of Edinburgh and suite will accompany Lady Bowen on the occasion. His Royal Highness will be a guest at Government House at that time. Lady Boweh gives a party on the Wednesday (the day before the Bazaar will be opened by her). It is therefore expected by the friends of the movement that a brilliant company will patronise the Bazaar on tho opening clay. The ladies concerned are working actively and energetically, and it is hoped that a yery handsome show of things will be provided by the time the Bazaar opens. The leading wholesale and retail drapery houses have mad handsome donations of valuable material which by fair fingers have been made up into a variety of useful and ornamental goods, calcu lated to tempt purchasers. There will be four stalls. Contributions of any articles suited to the Bazaar will be gladly received by any of the ladies and gentlemen on tho various com

mittees. Mrs. Whitaker and Mrs. Tassell have specially advertised that they will kindly take charge of anything intended for the St. Paul's stall. We are also informed that ar rangements are being made to have a series of entertainments in connection with the Bazaar, including short concerts, exhibition of magic lantern, microscope, electrical apparatus, and other things of a similar character. Considering the amount of anxious labor spent by many ladies in working for the Bazaar, and that it has the warm support and patronage of Lady Bowen, Lady Martin, Mrs. Cowie, Mrs. Whitaker, Mrs. Beckham, and a host of other ladies too numerous to mention, we may anticipate that the heavy incubus of £500 debt—entailing a charge of £100 a-year—will be very materially lightened by the receipts from this Bazaar; and, as every article given is an addition to the stock, the General Committee will be glad to receive the " smallest donation." As soon as the arrangements are complete full particulars will be announced in an advertisement.

PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.

THIS DAY,

The following are the most important subjects coming before the Provincial Council to-day:— Mr. Murray to ask the Provincial Secretary if the Government intend this Session to bring down proposals that will give effect to the address of this Council, No. 4, section 26, requesting His Honor the Superintendent to make arrangements for the immediate erection of a Market-house within the boun daries of the City of Auckland ? Mr. Creighton to ask the Provincial Secre tary, Whether the Government are prepared to bring down a bill to repeal the Turnpike Act, 1866?

That an esti mate of the cost of these works, should tbey be found feasible, ought to be obtained. Mr. Dyer to move, " That a respectful ad dress be presented to his Honor the Superin tendent, requesting him to place upon the additional Estimates the sum of £600, [for the purpose of subsidising a steamer to run be tween the Waitemata and Mahuraugi, and such other northern ports as may be agreed upon by the Government and the contractor." Mr. Kerr to move, "That a respectful address be presented to his Honor the Super intendent, requesting him to allow a portion of the tolls received at the Newmarket toll gate to be expended on the road, from the Harp of Erin to the Tamaki bridge." Mr. Hurst to move, " That the report of the North Shore Wharves Committee be now taken into consideration."

Mr. Hurst to move, " That a select com mittee be appointed to take into consideration the report by the Provincial Engineer on the Auckland sewerage and harbour, and report thereon ; and also on the best means of abat ing the nuisance existing at the mouth of the main sewer; committee to consist of Mr. Cadman, Mr. Hill, Mr. J. McLeod, Dr. Nichol son, Mr. Philips, Dr. Sam, Mr. Sheehan, Dr. Stratford, and the mover."

Among the orders of day are the One- Tree Park Bill, the Estimates, Licensing Bill, Highways Bill, Harbour Board Bill, Education Bill, Education Reserves Man agement Bill, and Kaipara Bailway Bill.

J. Cosgrave and Co. beg to inform the public that there is an entire revolution in dress, also in the prices of goods. It is neces sary it should be so, as Auckland it not in the flourishing position it was twelve months ago ; it is like all goldfield cities, suffering under a recovery, the working classes are more nit nierous and money less plentiful. Therefore, the prices of drapery and clothing must come down to suit the times. The population must have clothing suitable for an almost tropical summer. J. Cosgrave and Co. have met the crisis, they have broken down the monopoly of large profits that have reigned here for years past. They are determined the people shall be clad and that cheaply ; a great chance was offered lately, the stock of a large importer of drapery was in the market, a discount off English cost was given, and J. Cosgrave and Co. became the purchasers, hence our extensive and valuable sale of drapery takes place This Day, — [Advt.Ji
