The Evening Star. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2,1870.

The following is the amended resolution as passed by the House of Assembly regarding the San Francisco Mail Eoute : —" Seeing that neither of the Australian colonies has beeomo a party to the San Francisco steam contract, and that New Zealand has been left single handed to initiate this line, the com mittee is of opinion that in the future conduct of this service this colony should look to its own interests exclusively ; with which view it is expedient that the steamers arriving at Auckland from Honolulu should proceed to Port Chalmers, instead of to Sydney, calling a<*iin at Auckland on the return voyage to TToaolulu. The committee is further of opin ion that the time to be allowed between Auckland and Port Chalmei's, inclusive of stoppages at "Wellington and Lyttelton shall not exceed 100 hours. That with a view to carry the foregoing proposal into effect, the Government be empowered to increase the present San Francisco Mail Subsidy to a sum not exceeding £40,000 a year."

In the Prince of Wales Theatre last night the counter atttaction at the City Hall had a depressing effect on the attendance. Nevei' theless "The Broken Heart" was played with true feeling, and was thoroughly appreciated. To-night, the favorite play, the " The Hunch back" and the " School for Scandal" are to be produced.

The concert given last night at the City Hal^ for the benefit of the funds of All Saints' Church, was, as might have been expected, an unqualified success. The Carandini Com pany, aided by Madame and Air. Winter, gave their services gratuitously, and the Hall having been given for the occasion by Mr. S. Jones, the proceeds must necessarily bring a hand some sum to the purpose intended. Every member of the Carandini family and suite, saug with unusual excellence, while Madame Win ter's performances on the piano were them selves sufficiently delightful to constitute an evening's treat. Mr. Winter's singing also was exceedingly good, and altogether the highest satisfaction was afforded to the crowded house that assembled to aid in a deserving cause.

A meeting of the committee of the Mecha nic's Institute was held last night, when among other business a very cordial vote of thanks was passed to those ladies and gentle men who had assisted at the late entertain ment in behalf of the funds of the Insti tute. It was resolved that two paid collectors should be appointed, on commission, to in crease the list of subscribers and members, and a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Bur gess for a " Gazetteer of Victoria," presented by him. A requisition was receiver!, froma large number, asking for a meeting of members, to consider the advisability of altering the hour of closing the reading room from 9 until 10 a.m. A public meeting was ordered by the committee accordingly.

The usual weekly parade of the Auckland Rifle Volunteers was held last evening at the Drill-shed, when the usual evolutions were gone through. We understand that the morning drills will commence in October nest, and that the prize-firing will take place at the end of that month. The monthly inspection of the force will take place nest Monday evening.

A marine monster wa3 caught off Tapu Creek yesterday, by the men on board the fishina-boat Absconder. It resembles the shark, but possesses a tail nearly five feet in length. It is altogether some eleven feet in length, and may be seen by the curious on application to the men of the Absconder.— Advertiser.

The first anniversary services in connection with the Mount Albert Wesleyan Sunday School will take place on Sunday next. A ten, and public meeting will be held on the follow ing Tuesday.

A call of one shilling per share has been made in the Belfast G-old Mining Company.

Notice is given that Benjamin McKerras, of Auckland, has made a deed of arrangement with his creditors.

There was a special meeting of the members of the City Board of Commissioners yesterday afternoon, at their office, Canada Buildings, for the purpose of hearing objections to the la3fc (the fifteenth) assessment. There were altogether between 30 and 40 applications for abatement and objections against the present assessment; of this number about 40 were dealt with ; the remainder, being late applica tions, were adjourned. Abatement was allowed in between 20 and 30 cases, when a slight reduction was made. The remainder of the applications were not entertained a.il the assessment was ordered to stand as made. The late appeals will probably bo heard at the monthly meeting of the Board on Monday.

SUPREME COURT-IN BANCO.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. (Before Sir George Arney, Chief Judge.)

MOHI MANGAKAHIA T. CHAI&,

Application to dissolve injunction granted to Mohi against Craig. This was an adjourned case from last Court day, -when the appellant's (Craig) solicitor (Mr. Hesketh) was heard at great length in support of the argument for dissolution of tho injunction. To-day, Mr. MacCormick appeared to sup port the injunction. Mr. MacCormick proceeded to answer, seria tim, the arguments adduced by the other side. He proceeded to point out arguments in answer to the affirmation on the other side, that no sufficient urgency had been shown in applying for the injunction. The action had first been commenced on the 18th May, and tho injunction had not been applied for until the 24th June. The reason of this was that defendant had done nothing after the action was commenced for some time, but immediately the defendant had begun to remove the timber in order to cut it up the plaintiff came up to town and obtained the injunction. He thought the affidavits plainly showed that there was urgency shown. As to the argument that it was not shown that clanger was imminent, the learned counsel quoted "Drury on Injunctions," page 3GB, to show what the law considered imminent danger, and pointed out that the affidavits p'ainly showed that there was danger, imuii nent danger, of the defendant removing the timber. The plaintiff had been accused of laches in not proceeding more rapidly with the suit. Now, a charge of laches could not be brought against infants, married people— people «"» compos mentis. Surely, then, you could not charge a native who was, it might be said, ignorant of his legal rights with laches in this matter. The affi davits, however, showed that the defendamt had been acting in spite of repeated warnings from plaintiff to desist. The defendant also relied on the fact of a purchase from the natives in 1832 or 1863,, for his right to cut down timber. The foundation of his right, as he put it, was tho doing of an illegal act; for at that time an Act was in operation prevent ing all dealings in land or timber with the natives under a penalty of not less than £5, or. more than £100, to be recovered in a sum mary way. Under this so-called right he sold to Harris & Laurie, and soon afterwards re sumed possession of the mill, but he did not show by what means he regained possession ; then again, the defendant says that the plain tiff actually encouraged him to cut down the timber. The answer was that he was allowed to do so, under the impression that the defendant wns to pay for the timber. But he had failed to do so, and had not paid for it to thi3 day, nor offered to do so. Then, again, Eiria was not one of the native owners wiih whom the original contract was made. But subsequently her right was acknowledged, and money was paid to her, acknowledging her right. If the Whole of the money had been paid to this natiive, in order to carry out the alleged bargain, it would not be right in a Court of Equity to allow the plaintiff to take advantngi of the Act prohibiting dealing with the natives ; but the money had not been paid, and the de fendant had persisted in his wrong-doing, in spite of remonstrance and actual violence used to make him desist. As to the objection made on the other side of tho suppression of mate rial facts, one fact alleged to be suppressed was the appearance on the part of the defendant. Mr. MacCormick alleged that abundant proof was given of the appearance. (Left Sitting.)

I went to the Police Station ; had not had a quarrel with defendant or his brothers.

To Mr. Joy : I did not see which of them did the damage; the two others might have done it; I will not swear that defendant broke the door. Carolina Burke, wife of M.

Cross-examined at considerable length by Detective Murphy deposed to having found the hinges and casement broken; about a pound would repair the daim-e done. For the d fence, W.

From a quarter to ten till sunrise I was in my own home. Defendant came in at five minutes to eleven, and got a match to go to hia bed. I have never known his being out after 12 ; he mu>t pass through my room ; I swear that he could not have gone out again without obtaining the key of the outer door from me; he did not get the key on this occasion, and could not have got out. lam positive about this.

THE MANUKAU BATTERY.— MONTHLY REPORT.

(From To-Day's Thames Advertiser.)

During the month of August just ended, there have been 760 tons of stone crushed at the Manukau battery, from which the total yield obtai ed was 1493 ozs. 17 dwts. retorted gold, or an average of 1 oz. 19 dwts. 8 grains to the t >n. This mill, since it came into the present ownership, has been put into an ex cellent state of repair, and supplied with every rpquisite for a first-class machine. Compe tent management and first-class experts have been engaged, and the mill is becoming a great favorite with the public. We are in debted to Mr. Ellis, the company's manager, for the above returns.

The Eureka Company.—Yesterday morn ing a crushing for the JSureka wa9 commenced at the Moanatairi Company's battery, nnd Ihe stuff, we are glad to see, soon made a most promising chow on the plates. Before the manager could send the stone to this or any other mill he was compelled to make a road for the sledges, as the old track was re duced to such a miserable state as to be quite impassable. There is a good paddock of stone to hand, and if the weather continues fine enough to permit of the stuff being sent down, and the crushing continued, we shall expect to see a good result obtained from the Eureka crushing. The indications while breaking out the stone were very promising, Jand gold was frequently visible. The Junction. —The Junction crushing at the Kuranui battery has been giving the most complete satisfaction, and every promise of a high average yield. To-day the crushing will be completed, and the retorting will take place this evening. There have been about 100 tons crushed.

The All Nations.—A cleaning up and retorting for the All Nations Company, which occupies the six head battery of the Kuranui mill, will take place to-morrow. An average similar to that obtained from the last crushing is all that is expoded. Nolan's Candlelight —The shareholders of Nolan's Candlelight and the adjoining claims have,' at cousiderable expense and difficulty, formed an excellent road from the mine to Weston's battery, and yesterday it was made available to send down a paddock of quartz-from the claim to Weston's machine to be crushed. The. claiinholder.* in this locality have been for a long time almost completely 6hnt out from any communication with any of the crushing mills. The old road had become utterly impassable. The present road is much better constructed than the other, and also takes a more convenient course, so as to pass through the principal golden claims in the district.

Kennedy's Bay Gold. —A parcel of gold, weighing 27 ozs. 5 dwts., alleged to have been brought from Kennedy's Bay, was lodged yesterday at the Bank of New Zea land.

The Onehunga.—The tribufcora of the Onehunga Company's ground have cleaned up the Battery after crashing about twenty tons of stone, and tho gold obiuined from the retorting that took place yesterday yielding llozs. Vdwts, The parcel was melted at the Bank of New Zealand.

H.R.H. THE DUKE OF ELIN BURGH.

The Australian Squadron has effected a ren dezvous at Wellington. The new Commodore bas arrived, and ere this has relieved Com modore Lambert, and the Galatea v>\th her Royal skipper forma one of the squadron. Since the arrival of the news of the Galatea lying in Port Nicholson, many rumours have been afloat as to the Prince and his pi'O bable proceedings. It must be remembered that the Duke is merely here as captain of the Galatea, aud under the com mand of Commodore Stir ing, and that^ he is in no sense on a Royal tour on this occasion. Tattle said yesterday that a telegram had been received from H.R.H. to engage rooms at the Northern Club for his v c should he arrive. Other reports stated that the Galatoa aud Clio would sail for Sydney together from Wel lington without visiting this port. The reason of the Galatea being ordered to this station is the circumstance of the South Sea Island kidnapping practises having been brought pro minently before the House of Commons, aud although it seems like sending an elephant to satch a mouse, the Galatea probably happened the time to be the most convenient vessel

dispatch for the purpose. We have every reason to believe that the Galatea will there fore proceed direct from Wellington to the New Hebrid. Islands ou. her mission, and it is not prob., o that sho will visit this port before the en of the ye;ii\ Both the Galatea and the Clio seem to have made very quick passages from the Cape to Wellington, notwithstanding the heavy weather which they arc ropoi'tcd to have encountered. It is somewhat singular that these two vessels should have arrived in Wel lington on the same day, after having lost sight of each other for bj long. They left the Cape together on the 14th of July, got sepa rated almost immediately, and again sighted each other off Cape Palliser, New Zealand, on the 27th August. Our Wellington contempo rary, the Evening Post, tells us that they left the Cape of Good Hope in company, and continues, " which port they left on the 14th July." We would remind the Post that the Cape of Good Hope can hardly be called a port, as it is an immense territory, many times larger than New Zealand, and that, therefore, " the port of the Cape of Good Hope" is somewhat indefinite. From inform ation in our possession we are enabled to say that the "port" was Table Bay, or Cape Town, where the Galatea made a stay of three weeks. Of this period a fortnight was the stormiest weather ever known at the Cape. Notwithstanding this, however, a great deal of festivity was irdu'ged iv in the Duke's honor, the balls and parties,at least,being we. 11 attended. Amateur theatricals were pot up, and the Honorable Elliot Yorke, who is still with the Duke, sustained several of his best characters, including " Hamlet" and " Cardinal Wolsey," both of which were much admired. In the dry weather, pleasure and pic-nic parties were the order of the day, and, three days before leaving, the Prince laid the foundation stone of some new docks, in the presence of an im mense crowd of spectators. The Galatea re turns to these waters after an absence of nearly fifteen months. — Herald
