The Evening Star. WEDNESDA Y, JUNE 22, 1870.

We see by an advertisement that tbe Long Drive Gold Mining Company will pay a dividend of £1 10s. per share on Eriday, June 24, at the company's office, Shortland-street.. •>. As it lias been rumoured in the city that Mr. Cobley,-had died on his passage home, we note from the Home News.Xo hand that Mr. and Mrs. Cobley arrived at Marseilles on the 15th April, per P. and O. Co.'s s.s. Delta. W-_ave this morning seen a parting gift from Major Hamley to the library of the Mechanics' Institute. It consists of a very extensive series of maps and en gravings, bound together as an atlas. The series embraces every* country, ancient or modern, and maps of subdivisions of every kind, in detail and with great minute ness ; also a number of fine maps of the heaven^sbewing the, constellations in their mythical forms; while the latter portion of the work consists of beautiful views and

detailed plans of the principal cities of the world, with maps of their environs and engravings of their principal public buildings. The volume will be exceed ingly valuable as a book of reference, and will be a pleasing souvenir of Major Ham ley. By the way, why is it that no expression of the feelings of the people of this city has been made to this gentleman, now on the eve of his. departure for England ? By his urbanity of manner and courtesy towards every citizen that has come in contact with him, Major Hamley haswdn universal esteem ; and we shall be indeed sorry if he takes his departure in th^lnflexible without a demonstration of the fcofbd will of the people of Auck land, and their warm wishes for his future welfare.

The Police Court to-day seemed suffer ing a recovery from the surfeit of the Shortland-street robberies. Yesterday, till almost five o'clock, the Court had been engaged investigating the depredations committed on the stores of Messrs. Winks and Hall, which were not brought home to the prisoner Smith, but for which the prisoner Falcon was committed for trial. To-day justice had but as jrry offering, four miserable drunkards. One of them was ah old woman of about seventy years of age, who, trembling with age and the effects of grog on her poor old stomach, and whose nose, and brow, and cheek, were all battered and bloody from the ground having risen up and struck her poor old face. It has a sorry sight. She went t6 Mount Eden for a week.

Sudden Death.—Mr. James Chapman' the proprietor of the Clanricarde Hotel, Albert-street, died very suddenly about seven o'clock last evening. Deceased, who was fifty years of age, had been ailing for the last two days, but he was so much better yesterday that he was able to go clown town. On returning, however, he was taken much, worse, and died at seven o'clock. Drs. Kenderdine and Stockwell were with him before he died.

Asr inquest was held yesterday after noon, at the Provincial Lunatic Asylum, before Dr. Goldsboro', and a jury, upon the body of the woman named Sarah Newdick, an inmate, who died in the Asylum, on Sunday, under circumstances detailed in our yesterday's issue. After hearing evidence, the jury returned a verdict ihat the deceased died from natural causes.

Tmi ui->v school-room erected in the grounds of the Orphan iJome, St. Stephen's, Parnell, will be opened by the Might Rev. Dr. Cowie, Bishop of Auckland, to-morrow. Friends of the institution are invited to attend.

An inquest was held yesterday after noon at the Eailway Terminus Hotel, Official Bay, before Dr. Philson and a respectable jury, upon the body of John Hanuigan, aged 72, who was drowned in Cox's Creek on Sunday last. After hear ing the .evidence the jury returned a verdict that the deceased was "found drowned."

City Boaed.—A special meeting of the City Board was held yesterday, to con sider the draft of a Harbour Board Bill, proposed to be introduced by the Super intendent into the General Assembly. Messrs. Swanson, Boylan, and Clark (members of the Provincial Council) were also present. The clauses were discussed seriatim, and several suggestions were agreed to be forwarded to the Superin tendent at Wellington.

GOLD FROM THE THAMES.

The p.s. Royal Alfred brought up from the Thames yesterday afternoon, 2146 ounces of gold for the Bank of New Zealand, being the usual weekly shipment. The gold was brought up in charge of Mr. Murray.

ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH MAIL.

The Circular Saw Liner Constance arrived in harbour this afternoon, bearing with her the English Mail, being the. third occasion on which the vessels of this company have antici pated the steamers ; once by the Novelty, and twice by the Constance. So soon as the signal was observed the Post-office authorities had the Enterprise under steam, and received the mails on board the steamer, off the North Head. It is worthy of note that the Constance sighted Tiritiri Lighthouse yesterday, at three o'clock, and was at anchor under that island at seven o'clock last night. Had we telegraphic communipation with Tiritiri, as often urged in this journal, or with Cape Colville, as advocated by our contemporary, the New Zealand Herald in this morning'sj issue, we should have had the mails in the city last Might, and distributed early this morning. Every week furnishes further striking proofs of the value of this most inexpensive tele graphic extension.

THEATRE ROYAL.

These was a very fair attendance.at the Royal last night, when " The Serious Family" and " A.S.S." was produced. We are glad to see that Mr. Rayner has recovered from his late indisposition, and will appear to-night as John Mild-nay in Taylor's splendid comedy of " Still Waters Run Deep." This being their last night but one, we trust to see a full attend ance.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

These was another good attendance at this theatre last night, when the fine drama of " It is Never Too Late to Mend" was reproduced. The whole piece went a great deal more evenly than the night before. Miss Warne, as Joseph, played verj well, and with great feeling ; it is the best piece of acting we have seen this young lady undertake. To-night the same programme is announced.

NEW CITY HALL.

To-night the above place will be opened un der the. management of Mr. H. Eastwood, with the Miltonian tableaux of " Paradise Lost," to be followed by Mr. Logan, in a grand en tertainment entitled " Magic, Wonder, and Delight." , Should the weather prove fine, we anticipate a good house.

ARRIVAL OF THE 'CONSTANCE' WITH THE ENGLISH MAIL.

Thb Circular S-tw clipper Constance, Captain Gibbon, arrived in harbour this morning fj^nn Sydney, bringing the English '-mail via Sutez. We are indebted to Captain Gibbon for a copy of the Nome News, from which we extract the following:— ...--

New Zealand flax is in the shade. Our market reports show the price it has realised of late. Eope-makers say it is not adapted for maritime purposes, and that Manilla hemp is worth double the price of New Zealand flax. That this is the case is not quite clear. Certain commercial arrangements appear to have interfered with the ordinary market routine. In the meantime New Zealand has been selling at a low price, and it remains to see whether the prices quoted will pay the growers. The following letter was published in the .Standard on the 20th of April, with reference to the New Zealand product. It may lead the way to,a new industry. The letter reads thus:—" We hear much of the dearth of paper-making material, and your article of to-day speaks of the difficulties in the way of a regular supply of esparto grass. I would ask has the fibre of the New Zealand flax {Phormium TenaxJ been tried ? There is a boundless supply of it in the colony, and thus far it has not been utilised, though the Government have offered large rewards for the discovery of a process by which it can be prepared for weaving. Should such a discovery be made, it would be a most excellent thing for the colony, but I fear it is not probable, as no in digenous plant has yet given a fibre suited for textile purposes. Meanwhile, if tho New Zealand flax could be employed for paper making, it would confer great benefit on the colony, which wants it badly enough, and would also relieve the paper-makers from a difficulty which, from time to time, threatens to be serious. To me, using timber fur paper making looks like burning our candle at both ends."

The New Zealand Commissioners have lite rally nothing to say as to their proceedings in England. They have been treated civilly, and that's all. What they may be able to do with reference to emigration remains to be told. All that can be said is, that they are tryiDg their best, and the best of Dr. Featherstone and Mr. Bell should result in good. The English Government will give them an answer by-and-bye. Some offers they decline, and rightly so. They decline to receive worn-out soldiers . and useless officers, and, more than all, they decline to pledge the Colonial Govern ment to pay for them. Their position is an unhappy one, and the only consolation they have is that they are doing their best. The hope in England is that the gold diggings will produce a peace, although politicians have failed.

The City of Brussels, steamer, has arrived safely from New York, having proceeded under sail since she became disabled in her machinery. She was telegraphed off Crook haven yesterday, April 21, and was accom panied by the City of Durham, steamer, and the Rattler, steam-tug. Ten guineas premium per cent, has been paid to effect insurance on her.

LIBEL ON THE PBINCE OF WALES

In the Court of Queen's Bench on April 20, a rule for a criminal information was applied for against the proprietor of the Sheffield Daily Telegraph for a libel on the Countess of Sefton. The libel was in the following paragraph, which appeared in tho paper on tho 4th of April last, and which was printed as a leader paragraph, among the '* Latest News" — "Staetling Rumour. — The Prince of Wales is likely to appear in the Divorce Court again. It is stated in Westminster Hall that the Prince of Wales is likely to be again mentioned in the Divorce Court as a co respondent in a case in which a countess is the respondent. The case is said to be one by the Earl of Sefton against the Countess." The application for a criminal information was made upon the following affidavits on the part of the Prince and the other noble persons concerned, and which were filed in Court, and referred to as the grounds of the applica tion : — Affidavit of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, Marlborough House, Middlesex, sworn the 14th of April, 1870, states as follows : — "1. I have read the paragraph in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph. " 2. I was never guilty of the slightest im propriety with the said Countess of Sefton, and there is not the slightest foundation or pretext for the statement that I am likely to be mentioned in the Divorce Court as a co respondent in a case by the Earl of Sefton against the Counte.s. " 3. I know nothing of, and cannot concieve of anything, which could have suggested or given rise to such a statement." The joint affidavit of the Earl and Countess of Sefton stated .- — "1. We have read the paragraph in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph. " 2. We were married on the 18th of July, 1866. "3. We have lived together from the date of our marriage down to the present time in perfect harmony and affection, and we have three children. "4. There is not the slightest shadow of foundation or pretext for the above statement set forth, as contained in the S/ieffield Tele graph. " 5. And I, the said Earl, for myself say that I know of nothing, and cannot conceive of anything, which could have suggested or given rise to such a statement. 6. And I, the said Countess, for myself say that I know of nothing, and cannot con ceive of anything which could have suggested or given rise to such a statement. " 7. There has never been the slightest impropriety of any kind between His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and myself. "8. And we, the said Earl and Countess, say that we cannot look upon the said statement, as anything but a wicked falsehood and calumny."

Upon these materials, Sir John Karslake, Q.C., moved, on behalf of the Earl and Countess of Sefton. for a ori

minal information against a Mr. Long, the* proprietor of the .paper. After reading the paragraph, the learned counsel proceeded to say: —" My lords, there is not the slightest foundation of any sort or kind—as is stated by the Earl and Countess, asywell as by the Prince of Wales—for the suggestioar thus cir* culated ; and, although I understand $bme sort of apology has been made or offered^ the Earl of Sefton feels that it is his duty to apply to this Court for a criminal information against the proprietor." The Lord Chief Justice (with emphasis) : Most certainly, Sir John Karslake ; take a rule. "'■'" :.. Eule nisi for a ci-imiual information. '<■

AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAMS

By tbe barque Constance we have received Sydney papers to the 10th instant. Wo take the following from the Herald : — . MELBOUENE, June 9. In the case of Finlayson versus the Adelaide Insurance Company, a verdict was given for the plaintiff, £200. In the Legislative Assembly, the House is in Committee of Supply, and the immigration debate is proceeding. Mr. Grant has given notice for the intro duction of a bill for payment of members. It has transpired that the members of the Cabi net are divided on this question. Marcus Clarke has been appointed secretary to the trustees of the Public Library. Punch has a cartoon representing an Orien tal barmaid shocked at the Eeiby case. The point lies in a clergyman having recently ob jected to the Oriental dresses being allowed at the Bourke-street hotel. Sales of teas have been effected at full rates. Anti-State-aid resolutions have been carried, and the bill has been read a first time. Mr. Ellis, master of the hounds, Gipps Land, was nearly killed while hunting ; his horse fell heavily at the fortieth fence. June 7. The Federal Union Committee held a preli minary meeting yesterday. The Commissioner for Eailways refused to accede to the request of a deputation, that passes should be issued at Melbourne to men requiring to tracl-r cattle at Echuca, when mobs are sent from that place. An official report has been made on the graving dock. It shows that £15,000 worth of unskilled labour at ten hours, or £18,000 at eight hours, would complete the work; and it affirms that the contractor is, therefore, not entitled to more than £3000 compensation. Messrs. Power, Eutherford and Co., state that about 1100 cattle are yarded, but that generally they are much inferior to those of last week. Cattle of prime quality have slightly advanced in price. The firm report that they sold 200, principally from Gipps Land. 17,000 sheep were yarded, but they add that there is a very dull market; Eiverine ewes going at 10s. 6d., and wethers at 12s. 6d. In the action, Hewitt v. Argus, for libel, arising out of certain comments made on a rape case which the magistrates dismissed, verdict was given for the defendant. Eesolutions have been introduced in favour of the abolition of State-aid. It is proposed to do away with it in five years. The Government have called for tenders for the supply of the necessary pumping machinery te the graving dock, and will open them along with the English tenders. Father Nial has filed his schedule. The causes of his insolvency are said to be his having had to expend money to defend him self against criminal prosecution, and to become liable for Church debts. A fire broke out at Long's kerosene lamp warehouse, in Elizabeth - street, but little damage has beeu sustained. Flour has been sold by auction at £10 15s. to £10 17s. 6d.; wheat, at is. lid.; maize, at 4s. 4£d. ADELAIDE, June 8. It is evident thatJMr. Hart will be the dele gate to the Melbourne Conference. The Port Darwin Telegraph Bill passed a first reading in the Assembly. It has been affirmed, upon a motion by the Government, that it is desirable to send a delegate to the Melbourne Conference. The plant and properly of the New Corn wall Mining Company offered at auction to day, was withdrawn, the highest offer being £5000. One of the conditions contained in the telegram received from England by the Go vernment in regard to the British Australian Telegraph Company, consenting to make Port Darwin tho terminus, is, that the overland line must be opened for traffic by Ist De cember, 1871. Wheat is easier, without change in quota ions. June 7. The news from the goldflolds is still very favorable, and is exciting a great deal of in terest. The third resolution of the Government in regard to overland telegraphs, was negatived and so the result remains, the same as tele graphed yesterday. On the business paper of the Legislative Assembly to-day, there is a motion for a bonus of £2000 for the first thousand tons of pig iron smelted in the. colony. There is also an other motion in favor of a bonus of £1000 to the persons who shall first take a flock of 2000 sheep across the country within a thousand miles of the seat of the Government of the Northern territory. < . < An address has been agreed to iv the Coun cil, asking the Governor to construct a rail way north of Port Augusta. The Insolvency Bill passed in an amended shape. It was altered so as to vest the power of appointment in trustees, and give power to realise estates in the hands of creditors in all cases of assignment. A Bill to legalise marriage with a deceased wife's sister was passed yesterday. ;r

- HOBART TOWN.

The Bazarin sailed on Saturday for Sydney or Auckland. Mr. Reiby, the complainant in the. ease Reiby v. Bloomfield, has resigned since judg [ ment was given for defendant.

Whi are ladies juster than men ?—Because they are the " fairer" sex. "Mother," said a little child, "why are orphans the huppiest children in the world ?" ' They are not; but why do you think-they are, my child ?" " Because they have no parents to lick 'em." .

AUCKLAND BAND OF HOPE BAND.

__I entertainment in aid of the funds of the above band was held last evening, in the Young Men's Eooms—Captain Peek in the chair, who, in a few happy remarks, stated the object of the meeting. There was a very .choice programme gone through with; indeed it was so long that many had to be left out. Theiteetotallers of H.M. Bosariomustered well, and were the centre of attraction all Ihe even ing. The following was the programme gone through : — Opening Chorus, by Bosario's band. This was rapturously encored, the singing and concertina playing of the Jack Tars being excellent. Eecitation —" Peter McCrae," was well, given by Mr. B. Bond, who has got the real Scotch accent; song— " The Pilot,"-by Mr. Frewer, was nicely sung, this gentleman having an excellent voice ; re citation —"The Maniac," by A. McCulsky, w>is well given, and was also encored ; song and chorus—"Mary Land," was well rendered, Mr. M. Hauken leading the voices ; a read ing was next given by Mr. Le Koy, very humourously, the reader being thoroughly master bf his subject ; recitation by E. Tudehope was well given, the reciter evidently having practised the piece. Selections by the band, who mustered in full force in' their uniform, brought the first part of the programme to a close. Part 2.' Song by Mr. Pinhorn of. H. M.S. Eosario, was well sung, he has an excellent voice which he uses well. A dialogue on '* Trade" followed. A recitation by a Bom bay sailor was productive of much laughter, and a duet, " The Larboard Watch Ahoy," was deservedly encored, and was well sung by Messrs. Frewer and Pinhorn. Several Irish songs were sung in character during the evening by Messrs. Sanders and Buchanan, and were well received and frequently ap plauded. The comic song " Good bye, John," took well, especially by the lady part of the audience, and was sung well and in character by Mr. Cumming of H.M.S. Eosario. Eecita tion by George Carr was excellently given, and much applauded. Song, "Beautiful Nell" by Mr. Wise was next given, and web encorad. Eecitation by W. Duff was nicely recited. Song by Mr. McKinley, "The Flying Dutchman," was well sung, although the siuger was labouring under the disadvan tage of a severe cold. We must not forget to mention the playing on the concertina of Mr. Matthews, which was much admired by the audience. The entertainment was brought to a close by the Eosarios playing and the audience singing " God Save the Queen."

VOLUNTEERS.

A speciai. general meeting of the members of the A R.V. was held last evening at the Drill shed.Princes-street ; Captain Derrom in the chair. The rules of the battalion, drawn up by the committee of management for the guidance of the corps, were read and adopted, and will be forwarded to the Governor for his signature. On the motion of Captain Derrom, seconded by Corporal Spall, Dr. Campbell was elected a life member of the corps, and a vote of thanks was accorded him for the very handsome presents which he has made to the force from time fo time., A memorial drawn up by the Waiuku and Mauku Volunteer Corps, to be presented to the House of Assembly, was read, and evoked some discussion, the members generally agreeing that it was not. such a petition as should be signed by the officers of the Auckland corps, and a motion to that effect was carried. A letter was read from Mr. P. A. Philips, en closing a cheque for £2 25., £1 Is. to be a subscription for himself as an honorary mem ber of No. 4 Compeny; the other guinea to be given to the band-fund. The Chairman announced that the entertainment in aid of the funds of the band would take place at the Prince1 of Wales Theatre on Thursday (to morrow) evening, and he hoped that every member of the force woul_ be present in uniform., A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the proceedings.

POLICE COURT.—Wednesday.

(Before L. D. Nathan, Esq., J.P.)

DEUNKENNESS

Robert Penny, charged with drunkenness, was fined ss. and costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours with hard labour. Catherine Taylor, charged with the same offence, and not appear ing, forfeited bail. Mai-y Jane Smith, for a second offence, was fined 10s. and costs, or to bo imprisoned 48 hours ; and Margaret Con dron for a third offence, was fined 20s. and costs, with seven days' additional imprison ment.

Qumtion in Nosology.—ls " Goodness nose" a Grecian or an aquinine ? A kind physician, living near Boston wish ing to smooth the last hours of a poor woman whom he was attending, asked her if there was* anything that he could do for her before she died. The poor soul, looking up, replied : " Doctor, I have always thought that I should like to have a glass butter dish before I die." Piave, who wrote for Verdi the libretti of " Trovatore," " Traviata," " Rigoletto.'' and other popular operas, is now the unfortunate inmate of a lunatic asylum. There are three things in the world that know no kind of restraint, and are governed by no laws, but merely by passions and brutal ity—civil wars, family quarrels, and religious disputes. If you are a wise man you will treat the world as the moon treats it. Show only one side of yourself, seldom show yourself too much at a time, and let what you show be calm, cool, and polished. But look at every side of the world. —Shirley Brookes.
