The Evening Star. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1870.

In the Prince of Wales Theatre, last night, a fair house witnessed the performance of " Ladj Audley's Secret" and the " Spectre Bridegroom." To night Miss Evans appears as " Marie Stuart."

A miscellaneous entertainment was given last night at the hall of the Catholic Institute, as a benefit to Mrs. Flynn, whose husband has been recently drowned. The band of the Naval Volunteers assisted, and the entertain ment passed off with great success.

We again decline to insert the letter of " Civility," or his second communication. His statements are unfair, unjustifiable, and libellous. He can address himself to the com mittee. Considerable disappointment was felt by several parties who had gone out to visit the American man-of-war before she was prepared for the reception of visitors, and there is an impression with many that there is some xin willingness on the part of the officers to show the ship. This impression is wholly unfounded. Large numbers have been visiting the Eesaea for the last two days, and have met with the utmost cordiality. As the Teasel is now open, we would strongly recommend our fellow citizens to see the st vie of the naval armaments

of our cousins. "* The Lyttelton Times says :—We learn that the Ceylon Observer of August 6th gives the number of prisoners taken by the Prussians after the engagement at Weissenburg as 7500, instead of 500, as stated in our tele graphic summary. The public here are, we believe, under the impression that a Prussian war frigate is cruising somewhere in the South Pacific. This is quite correct. The frigate Hertha—of what armament we are not aware— wa s reported to have arrived about a month ago among the Pacific Islands. If this is really the case, we may hear that she has visited the French settlements there on no friendly errand. Prussia, it was said some mouths ago, is rather anxious to plant her flag in the Pacific. Frederick Albert Hoare, William Bell, and William Ifoldsworth have become insolvent. —A meeting of the creditors of Henry George Collett will take place on the 28tk instant, and of John Smith on the 26th instant. Wirope Hoterene Taipari gives notice that he intends to apply for his discharge on the 6th October.—A meeting of the creditors of John James Tretheway i; advertised for to-day. The Wellington l Jost of the 13ih says :— It appears that the officers of 11.M.5. G-ala'.ea, from the lloyal Commander downwards, are disgusted at the prospect of a two-years' cruise in Australian waters. Letters from the vessel denounce the cruel fiat which has so long a time postponed the return of the writers to their native homes, in the most vi D orous and expressive language.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTE ENTER TAINMENT.

An entertainment of a most successful kind was given last night in the hall of the Mechanics' Institute, and in aid of the funds of that establishment. There was a good house, the front seats being especially full. The first part consisted of readings and recita tions, capitally rendered, and of eornet-a piston and piano performances, both of which were warmly applauded. The second part wns devoted to the J-ithiopian Troupe. This portion of tlio entertainment was kept up with great spirit throughout, Bones and Tamho ui-ie contributing iimurn •■• v ivacity to the pr.irco.l ings. The soi.; well selected anil well executed, and I c pun -an I humorous dialogues interspersed v. i'e givatlv beyond anything we have heard from amateurs in Auckland before. The whole entertainment was exceed ingly good, though rather prolonged. We congratulate the troupe on the favorable im pression they have formed, and the committee of the Institute on the able coadjutors they have found in the " Auckland Ethiopian Troupe."

ACCIDENT ON MOANATAIRI CREEK.

On Tuesday, about 8 p.m., a3 a young man named Caul was coming down the trnnv.iy, to attend the complimentary dinner to Mr. Byrne, by some means or other he made a false step, and was precipitated down n very steep part of the bank, and feel heavily into the bed of the creek. An alarm was al. once raised, and he was assisted to his home, when it was found that he had received very severe injuries. As early as possible, this morning, he was removed, with care, to the hospital, and on being examined by the medical staff ifc was discovered that the hip was dislocated, and the body very badly bruised. Under skilful treatment the patient is now as well as can be expected.

SALE OF MINING PROPERTIES.

In accordance with th« announcement in the papers, Mr. Craig offered to the public at the Thames, yesterday, the following leases of Gold Mining Companies. The biddings were very listless, and some of the buyers should be able to make a good thing out of the Atlantic, Jupiter, and Lord Raglan. The Lord liaglan sold for £50; Atlantic, £5; Jupiter, Te Papa, £6. The Golden Block and other pro perties were withdrawn, in consequence of no bidding.

DISCOVERY OF QUARTZ REEFS AT DIRTY SWAMP.

DtrEiNa the excavations on the railway at Dirty Swamp (says the the Bathurst Times) some very rich reefs have been discovered. Claims have been marked out, and, as usual, with goldfields' tactic, some of them have been jumped from real or fancied non com pliance with the Goldfields Regulations. The land upon which tho quai-tz has been found belongs to Mr. Lee, and tho stone is said to bo rich. Wo understand that some pieces of the quartz contain a very large proportion of the precious metal.

THE MAY MAILS, VIA SUEZ.

A telegeam from Galle, dated the 14th July, states that the Australian steamer then over due had not nrrived, and apprehensions were entertained of her safety. The Candia had sailed for Suez without the Australian mails. Ano'lirr telegram snys that tho slia-.nsr lmd arrived.

HIBERNIAN SOCIETY.

The members of the Hibernian Society, a branch of which has rec.-ntly been opened at the Thames by Mr. Byrne, a delegate from the parent society in Victoria, determined upon giving that gentleman a complimentary supper previous to his return to Victoria, and last night was fired on as the most suitable for the purpose. About 70 sat down to dinner. Mr. P. Griffin occupied the chair. The principal speakers were Mr. Byrne and Mr. John Williamson. The latter gentleman during his remarks referred to the great future that existed for this country. Irishmen of the North Island were the most successful of its colonists, and to them the country was in debted for its present prosperity. They hid exerted themselves like men, and proved thorn selves worthy sons of the old soil. The first man who commenced the cultivation of ths soil in the north of New Zealand was an Irish man, still living.— Adva-tiser.

WESLEYAN METHODIST SUN DAY-SCHOOL, UNION-STREET.

Tiie annual soiree m connection with this Sunday-school took place yesterday evening. Tea was laid out in the school-room, and at half-past six o'clock the tables were crowded, and numbers had to wait until the first batch had been removed. The tables were filled three times, and there must have been upwards of three hundred people sat down to tea. The room was very tastefully decorated with flags and evergreens, and must have caused the committee no little trouble to get up, at so short a notice. The trays were presided over by the following ladies: —Mcsdames Cousens, Pclly, Bcecroft, Rhodes, YVhite, Mackey, At kiu, Waterhouse, and Misses Coupland and Blakey. After tea, a public meeting was held, the Rev. Mr. Rigg presiding. The proceedings were opened with siuging and prayers. The Secretary read the report for the past year, by which it appeared there were on the books of the Sunday-school, 121 boys and 107 girls. There had been 73 scholars admitted during the past year, and 31- had left. The average morning attendance was 50 boys and 31 girls, and in the afternoon G7 boys and 54 girls —notwithstanding the difficulty of approach during the late severe wet weather. On fine Sundays the attendance was as high as 140 to 180- There were G male and seven female teachers. They were i 1 debted to one of the canvassers of the Auck land Sunday School Union for having added some scholars to the school; and during the past year some ninety volumes had been added to the library. Two class-rooms had been added, at a cost of £30, a sum which it was hoped the proceeds of this soiree would go far to liquidate. By the financial statement, it appeared that the receipts for the past year amounted to £44 19s 7d, and the expenditure i;7l 9s lid, leaving a deficiency of about £2G 10s.—Addresses were delivered by the Rev. Mr. Berry, Mr. James Coupland, Mr. Wrig loy, Mr. Parker, Mr. Battley, Mr. lTenms, Mr. Atkin, Mr. Arthur, and were listened to most attentively by the meeting—The pro ceedings were very appropriately diversified by singing, by the children of the Sabbath School. —The proceedings were brought to a termination by the benediction being pro nounced by the Chairman. Altogether a most; pleasant and agreeable evening was spent.

A TASMANIAN WILL CASE.

A TEtEGEAM to the Arrjiis states time in the Supreme Court (in Banco), on Friday, his Honor the Chief Justice gave judgment in the celebrated will c&sc, Rogers t. Espie. It was a testamentary suit heard in last term, and the Court was crowded on the occasion of the delivery of judgment. The testator had be queathed £1500 to his wife, whom he had married on his death-bed, and only a few hours before his death, she having previously been his housekeeper and attendant during his illness. He had also left £1000 to the Roman Catholic bishop for general religious purpose?, £400 to a brother, £200 to a sister, both of whom reside in .England, nnd left his wife to be the residuary legatee. The brother, who lives in Manchester, disputed the will, on the ground that the testator was of unsound mind, and that undue influence had been brought to bear upon him by the priest who had attended him in his last moments. His Honor said the circumstances were such as to warrant suspicion until all the facts came to be enquired into and explained. The evidence of Dr. Crowther and Dr. Brooke went to show that they thought the deceased had pneumonia, and was in a semi-comatose state before the will was signed ; and on their state ments" and opinions other medical witnesses bused opinions, some favourable and some adverse, to the testator's mental capacity. His Honor considered the evidence of the Rev. Father Sheehy and Mr. JBennisun, solicitor, supplied the kind of proof of capacity which the rules of the Court required—if that evi dence wns truo, and for various reasons his Honor thought it could not be considered otherwise than true. He was further of opinion that the account of undue influence was not established. After an able and exhaustive dealing with the evidence, medical and other wise, his Honor sustained the will; the costs of both sides to be paid out of the estate. The reading of the judgment occupied one hour and a half. Mr. Justice Dobson, who, before his elevation to the bench, had been one of the counsel engaged in the case, took no parb in the proceedings beyond stating that he simply adopted the Chief Justice's judgment, which would, therefore, be taken as the judgment of the Court.

SUPREME COURT.—Civil Sittings.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21

[Before His Honor Sir Q-eorge Arney, Knt., and a Common Jury.]

The Civil business of the Court was com menced to-day.

ALLAN o'NEILL V. JOHN KELLY.

Mr. MacCormick and Mr. Hesketh were counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Whitaker and Mr. Rees appeared for the defendant. This was an action to establish a question of ri lit to certain land in the Waitakeri district. Fijtn the statement of the plaintiff's counsel, it appeared that the plaintiff in the year 1856 surveyed, selected, purchased, and subse quently received a Crown grant for a piece of land in the Waitakerei. The declaration set out that in July, 1856, the plaintiff received the Crown grant, by which he became law fully seized of 220 acres of land in the Wai takeri Valley. The defendant, it appeared, consulted the plaintiff as to the most favorable district for selection, and plaintilF directed him to Waitakeri, but unfortunately the defendant selected a portion of that already included in the plaintiff's Crown grant. The mis take appeared to have originated with a discrepancy between the plans of surveyors. The defendant denied all material allegations. The issues left to the jury were- (1) whether the plaintiff was lawfully seized of the land ; (2) whether the defendant was in possession, and entitled to the land, or any part thereof. The evidence was wholly of a professional charac ter, to determine the boundaries of the re spective lands of the plaintiff and defendant. [Lett sitting.]

CORRESPONDENCE.

We are not responsible for Correspondents' opinions.

To the Editor of the Evening- Star.

Sib,—ln last night's Star I read a letter from a person signing himself a " Ten Years' Subscriber," but as your paper lias not been so long in existence I suppose his make-be lieve signature is as truthful as his statements in defence of the Secretary of the Mechanics' Institute. Your correspondent charges "A n otlier Mechanic" with "gross untruthful ness" in stating specific charges of in civility and impertinence at the hands of the Secretary. I cannot see how your " Ten Years' Subscriber," even if " paying daily visits" to the Institute, and " noting the manner the members were treated by the present Secretary," could so warmly give the lie t > a definite and specified occur rence. But if your correspondent intends to convey the impression that the general demea nour of the Secretary is courteous and oblig ing, I, for one, meet his statement with the assertion thut it is disobliging and churlish in the extreme, and that I have never known an institution depending on the public for support where such discourtesy would be tolerated. I know many members who have left in conse quence—myself among them —and it shows very little regard for their duties that the Committee do not compel the Secretary to treat people with common civility. The fact of constant discourtesy is known to everyone, and the letter of your " Ten Years' Subscri ber" will not throw dust in men's eyes. —I am, &c, Institute. ♦ To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sir,—ln reply to a "Ten Years' Sub scriber," I wish to say that I am not " one of those curses to any Institute," described by him ; that I have given no grounds for com plaint against me ; and that I am prepared to make an affidavit as to the truth of everything I have written regarding the unprovoked im pertinence of the Secretary to me. —I am, &.C., Anotiiee Mechanic. To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir, —Your correspondent a " Ten Years' Subscriber" defends the Secretary of the Mechanics' Institute from the charge of incivility made by " Another Mechanic," and says lie has never met any butono who did not say that " Mr. Talbot is the right man in the right place." In reply, allow me to say that I never speak to a subscriber or member of the Institute who does not say that his incivility is the cause of the failure of the Institute ; and that'the Committee, for some reason known to themselves, are afraid to interfere with him. — I am, &c, Rial Mechanic.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COL LECTOR OF CUSTOMS.

At the Sandwich Quarterly Sessions, John Frith Heatly, late Collector of Her Majesty's Customs of Ramsgate, was charged, on four separate indictments, with embezzling certain moneys belonging to her Majesty at Ramsgate, to wit, £5 0, and between the 21st of March and 26th of April, 1870, £441 11s. 8;1. on the 2G:h of April, 1870, and £210 17s. lid. on the 27th of April, 1870, and having pleaded guii'.ty to it, the Kecorder,in passing sentence, said that the offences to which the prisoner had pleaded guilty were of a very heinous character indeed, and thelawallowcd him toinflictpenalservitude for so long a term as 14 years. It was painful to see a man of the prisoner's position stand ing to receive the sentence of the law ; and though his offences would be visited with the greatest severity the law allowed, yet he thought it to be his duty to sentence him to a severe punishment, which was that he be sent to penal servitude for five years. The prisoner was then removed, the prisoner's wife, who had been accommodated with a seat upon the Bench, retiring at the same time apparently in much mental distress.

A CHASE AFTER AN ABSCONDER.

The Newcastle correspondent of the Sydney Herald states thai some excitement waa caused here yesterday by a report that tho steam tug Southland had left the harbour in chase of the brig Nil Despera-:dum for the purpose of cap turing an absconder from Sydney. On enquiry, I ascertained the following particulars :—The Sheriff's dep'ity afc Maitland had the same ijiorninji rptvijeed from Sydney a writ for the .-lIT. i-t ol" a lild/l il'Mill'll lirl.-i >]•, w'n: Iliul lefl the inu! ropo.i i with the intention ol proceeding

to New Zealand. It was soon ascertained that a man answering the description of Getson had taken a passage on board the Nil Desper andum, which was then several miles out>ide the Heads. Mr. Allen, the deputy-sheriff, at once chartered the Southland, and started in pursuit. The little vessel was put under full steam, but a stiff and favorable breeze en abled the brig to make headway, and she was nearly twenty miles on her voyage before she was overtaken by the tug and boarded by the Sheriff's officers. Then every obstacle was thrown in the way of capture by the master of the brig, and Getson, having shut himself in his cabin, declared his intention of shooting the first man who entered. Finding that it was impossible to effect a capture, the officers were compelled to retire on board the tug and return to Newcastle without their man. I am informed that steps will be at once taken to arrest Getson on his arrival in New Zea land.
