COMMERCIAL.

Evening Star Office, Friday afternoon. AUCKLAND STOCK AND SHARE * MARKET. MR. MARTIN SHOLL'S REPORT.

The following are the fale quotations of the week : —Tookey's, £5 ; Long Drives, £10 10s , Caledonians, £17 10s ; Shotovers, 7s 3d to 7s 6d; Young Americans, 8s to 10s. Demand for Long Drives at £10; Unas at 4s j Young Americans at 7s 6d ; all in small quantities.

MESSRS. TICKERS AND ORCHARD's REPORT.

The share market continues very depressed and there are few transactions to record. Shotover No 1 have been sold at from 7s 3d to7s6d; Long Drives, £12, cum. div.—£ll ex dix.; Caledonians, £17 10s ; Thames, £3. Bank Shares may be quoted—old issue, £15 10s; new, £14 ss, at which we have effected several sales.

MB. F. W. STEVENS' REFOBT. The market is still very languid; some business, however, in a few interests has been done—Long Drives, at £10l0s. and £11, ex. div.; Caledonians, at £18 ; Eurekas, at 3s. 9d. and 45.; Bank (new), £14 ss.

The winding up of companies and sueing for calls is still tbe order of the day, and until this state of things be cleared off, a healthier tone cannot prevail. It behoves colonhts to help one another in these times, and to cease litigation.

It is impossible to say what news the next mail may bring us, but so long as the Lritish funds keep up, we need be under no appre hension as to obtaining the loan. If the last telegram is to be relied on, consols were quoted at 91i, which shows that the Stock Exchange were pretty confident that England would not be drawn into the war. Consols may be regarded as the political barometer, and the price ascends or descends according to the chances of peace or war. If consols tall suadenly to 85 or thereabouts, war is to be regarded as close at hand ; and if on the contray, they mark 91 or 92, peace is pretty well assured. The members of the Stock Exchange watch narrowly the events occurring in Europe, andno men in the world are better informed.

Under the present aspect of affairs, the Government of New Zealand have very wisely determined to accept the Imperial Govern ment guarantee of one million; the price, however, to be obtained for this will depend on who is employed, and the state of the money market at the time it is brought out.

The Evening Star. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1870.

We venture to say that there is more lost by one day's dust in Queen-street than would pay the cost of watering tho main thorough fare for a month; and that the City Board should, in this particular, hive evinced so utter indifference to the demands of the people, exposes them most deservedly to general blame. At the last meeting of the Board applications on the subject of watering the streets were made. i s applicant had got all Queen-street to . !. ••*.ibe expenses, and asked the use of the v. ..ei* o.i.ts j another, we presume, from sonic siuiila.-.- arrangements, and not from mere philanthropy, offjred to pay for tho use of the carts. In the existing state of the dust nuisance, it was reasonable that Borne prompt and decisive, however tem porary, step 3 should be taken to abate this great injury to private property and annoy ance to the public. But instead of this, the matter has been remitted to the Streets Com mittee, to be reported on in, perhaps, a fort night or a month. There may be advantages in the observance of red-tapeism in the in terests of the dignity and orderly procedure of the Board, but we think, in tho face of choking citizens, a matter of so simple arrange ment might have been determined at a single sitting. Why, with all its limited powers, and embarrassed finances, the City Board should not undertake t'.e wa tering of the main street without send ing rou nd a hat for subscriptions is a mystery to persons who have had the privilege of re siding in other towns and cities ; but we be lieve that there are Commissioners who do not reside in Queen-street, and who see injustice in the appropriation of public funds for such a purpose. In the present state of things, and the apathy of the citizens, this narrow mindedness must be tolerated and left to over - rule the influence of the more public spirited members of the Board. But the urgent nature of the case, and the injury that is hourly done to various kinds of goods, demand that the water-carts, at whatever cost, or under whatsoever arrangements, should be at once set to work for the suppression of this intolerable nuisance.

The Duke of Edinburgh will leave Auckland for the Thames to morrow morning, at nine o'clock instead of one.

A meeting of the shareholders of the Baron Rothschild Gold Mining Company is adver tised to take place at the Thistle Hotel, at half-past 7 o'clock this evening.

The East Newton Band of Hope held its usual meeting on Wednesday evening. There was a good attendance. The opening address was delivered by Mr. Cherry. Readings, reci tations, and singing, filled up the remainder of the time.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENTS IN VICTORIA.—CLEVER CAP TURE OF THE FUGITIVE BY THE AUCKLAND POLICE.

FROM TO-DAY'S " HERALD."

About eight days ago Inspector Broham, of the Auckland police force, received a warrant from Melbourne, via Wellington, empowering him to arrest one Thomas L. Harris, who was lately Secretary to the Bulla Shire Council, Victoria, and who had suddenly decamped about seven or eight weeks ago, taking with him the sum of £650, tho property of the Council. It was strongly suspected that he had taken his departure for New Zealand, and a warrant was at once issued and sent to Wel lington for his arrest, accompanying which was a description of the defaulter, together with the particular*, of the fraud he had committed. An individual answering the description had, it appears, arrived in Wellington, but had taken his departure northwards, and the warrant was accordingly forwarded to In spector Broham, of this city, with instructions to arrest him if possible, in order that he might be remitted to Victoria to answer for his offence. Itwouid seem that Harris, on his way up from Wellington, called in at Napier, where he stayed some little time, but he came 011 to Auckland by the Taranaki on her last trip to this port. The case was placed in the hands of Detective Murphy, who suc ceeded in ascertaining as a fact that Harris arrived by the above-named vessel, but every effort to lay haod upon him failed, for it seemed that he disguised himself as much as possible, and went under a variety of names. But, after considerable diffi culty, the police succeeded in getting a clue, for they found that a person an sweiing his description had been lodging at a, house in Official Bay, under the name of Captain Mordaunt. He had also passed under the name of Etheridge, as well as taking several other names at various times. Indeed, he seemed to have a name for every day in the week, in order, as much as possible to throw the officers of justice off the scent. With the money which he is alleged to have embezzled, he made pretty free, and while in Auckland he seems to have fixed his atten tion upon a lady of some little attraction, who returned the kindly feeling—although it is said that she is a married woman. How ever this may be, the luckless par agreed to make common cause with each other ; and the better to elude the vigilance of enquiring friends, they took passage on board the barque Santon, for New York. A number of boxes and other luggage was put on board that vessel, which left the harbour yesterday. But the police had not been idle, and they suc ceeded in satisfying themselves that the man they were after had taken his passage in this vessel, and that he was accompanied by a lady. The Santon was to have left the harbour on Wednesday, and on the previous evening Detec tive Murphy, accompanied by an ofli.-er of the Customs went on board in order to search the vessel for the runaways, but without avail. We are informed that the captain of the Santon threw every possible obstruction in the way of the officers. Although, however, they got no very definite cue on Wednesday, they were not to be put off the scent, and they again went on board the vessel yester day, at noon, and made a thorough search. L'hey then found the boxes, &c, belonging to Harris and his female companion, but there were no signs of these worthies, although the officers learnt that their passages had been paid to New York. Thinking it not very likely that this course would be pursued unless they meant to go on to that place. Murphy decided upon remaining on board the vessel until the last possible moment, while Carrigan, of the Water Police, was despatched in the pilot's cutter to follow in the wake of the vessel in case of anything turning up, Murphy himself intending to leave the ship with Capain Bur gess, the pilot, who gave every possible as asistancc** to the police. About half-past one o'clock the Santon left the harbour with a fair wind, and by half-past three she was well up with Tiritiri, but up to this time no sign had been seen of the fugitive, although it was strongly suspected that he was on ahead waiting the arrival of the Santon. When within a few miles of Tiritiri Captain Burgess and the de tective (the latter very reluctantly) were com pelled to quit the vessel nnd embark on board the pilot boat, which at once filled away, as though about to return to Auckland. But the eye. of every man in tho cutter were will open, and scanning the sea as well as the ves sel they had left. Within a very short time the house-flag, which had been flying at the main truck, was seen to bo hauled down, and a few minutes later Captain Burgess observed through his glass a small boat leaving the shore, and crowding all sail after the Santon. A second glance sufficed to show that the parties they were in search of were in the boat, and the cutter at once put about, and dashed away back to the Santon under a press of canvas, in order to cut off the smaller boat. The race appears to have been a very tight affair, the watermen in the boat crowding on all sail, but the superior speed of the cutter won her the victory, and when within a short distance of the ship she cut off the wherry, and very nearly ran her down. Harris was sitting in the stern steering, and the lady was sitting beside him. Murphy at once sprung into the boat and called upon him to surrender, which he at once did, seeing that resistance was in vain. The vessel then backed her main yard and allowed the officer to go on board, when the boxes, &c, of the fugitives were put on board the cutter, I the vessel filled away on her course, and the officers brought Harris and the woman on to Auckland, which they reached about midnight. When Harris was searched a small six barrelled revolver was found in his pocket, but he never attempted to use it. On searching the boxes a sum of money amounting to nearly £200, was found. It stems that the watermen were hired on Tuesday night, since which time the party had been waiting for the vessel to come up. They had a plentiful supply of provisions and a tent, which they fixed up on the shore on Wednesday night, and appear to have made themselves very jolly. Harris himself is a very cool card, and told our reporter in the guard-room a number of the facts mentioned above with the greatest sang froid.

The Victorian Charge of Embezzlement.

The Court to-day was crowded, owing to the interest excited by the chase and clever cap ture of the Victorian bolter. The prisoner had the air of perfect nonchalance, using his tooth-pick as an indifferent spectator, and setting the detective right on minor points of his evidence. In the Police Gazette of Vic toria he is described as " English, a surveyor and architect, aged 34, 5 feet 9 inches high, medium build, fair complexion, sandyish hair, wh ikers, and beard, and good looking." As he is at present clean shaven, the prisoner, who is pleasantly com municative in private, explains the disap pearance of his beard by an encounter with the husband of the lady (Mrs. Cassidy) who has accompanied him in his travels. It ap pears that the party having travelled down from Sunbury to Melbourne, feigned drunken ness on the part of the husband led to a fight which resulted in the pulling out by the roots of one half of the prisoner's flowing beard. For the sake of appearance, the " bar berous" operation was completed, which fact, as he is anxious to show, and not the fear of detection, led to his barefaced appear ance in the dock. The conduct of the captain of the Santon, in keeping the " danger sig nal" flying so long as the officers were on board, shows unmistakeable complicity ; and it is evident that an extensive conspiracy had been in operation to shelter the prisoner and enable him to tscape from the country. This has been a costly operation to the prisoner, and explains the rapid drain of his ill-gotten gains. As no doubt the ramifications of the conspiracy will be thoroughly traced, we shall not further refer ro the subject; but we would call the atten tion of the police to the conduct of the water men employed by the prisoner, and who, we presume, are holders of a license. Mr3. Cas sidy still adheres to her luckless paramour, and both appear regardless of the infamy in which they have been involved. We heartily commend the spirited conduct and persever ance of Detective Murphy, and the whole of the police, who, in face of great difficulties thrown in their way at every turn, have hunted the prisoner to earth.

FURTHER DEVELOPEMENTS.

ARKEST OF MESSRS. ELLIS AND GRIFMTHS.

Scarcely had the charge of embezzlement been disposed of this morning in the Police Court, when it was known that Captain George Ellis, late of the Luna, and Mr. John Griffiths, had just been arrested on warrant and lodged in the lock-up. It appears that on the information of J. L. Harris and Mrs. Cassidy they had been charged with having represented themselves as cognisant of Harris' position, and us having been employed by the Auckland Detective Office to look after him, and prevent his leaving the country, and that by this false pretence, as alleged by prisoner, they had succeeded in relieving him of some £50 of ihe funds belonging to the ratepayers of Bulla Bulla, of which he had taken charge. As the charge will come up in the Police Court to morrow morning, and is likely to lead to fur ther disclosures, we shall refrain from criti cism of this astounding charge. Both the ac cused being so well known, the occurrence has created a great sensation in the city. The def ndants were brought up in the Police Court at two o'clock, this afternoon, under the Vagrant Act, and case remanded ; both being admitted to bad for then'appearance before the Bench to-morrow morning: a personal bond in £50, and two sureties of £25 being required from each. Messrs. Dutbie and McCoshkins entered into the required bonds for Mr. Ellis, and Messrs. Lewisson and Perkins for Mr. Griffiths.

SUPREME COURT.—Civil Sittings.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,

[Before Sir G. A. Arney, Knight, and a Common Jury.]

His Honoe took his seat on the Bench at 10 o'clock.

ALLAN O'NEILL V. JOHN KELLY.

This interminable case was resumed this morning. As on the previous days, Mr. Mac- Cormick and Mr. Hesketh were counsel for plaintiff; Mr. Whitaker, and Mr. Rees for the defendant. And, as on the pi'evious days, the the whole inquiry was directed to testing the accuracy of surveyor's plans. The evidence was very contradictory. There appeared to be an eccentric tendency isi the angles of engineers, according to the point of starting, and professional persons whose existence depends upon the as similation of such forms or quantities are sure to disagree with each other. It would appear from the evidence —a demonstrable theorem in practical mathematics —that two surveyors can not possibly follow out the same straight line in the same plane. The only thing the re porters could hear was the rustle of " double elephant," the crisp friction of tracing-paper, and the rattle of spirit levels, scales, and pencils. Mr. Fairburn was the first witness examine;! this morning. The convolutions of the Waitakerei river appear to have been a puzzle to the engineers. When our reporter left, his Honor the Judge, the bar, the jury, and the surveyors were busily engaged in the bed of tbe river. Mr. Fairburn was under examination for three hours. The case will not, probably, be concluded before a late hour in the evening. [Left sitting ]

POLICE COURT.— Friday.

(Before J. S. Macfarlane and T. Macffarlane, Esqs., Justices.)

Drunkenness. — Miles Sweeney and T. Hubbard were each fine 5s and costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours with hard labour. Embezzlement. -Thomas Lascelles Harris was charged with having, on or about the Bth August, 1870, embezzled the sum of £650, the property of the Shire Council of Bulla, in the colony "of Victoria.—Mr. Inspector Broham applied for a remand to Victoria, and tendered evidence of the identity and capture of the prisoner.—Detective James Murphy deposed : I know the prisoner to bo the person described in the Victoria Police Gazette produced, No. 32, August 9, 1870. I arrested him on a warrant" yesterday, charging him with em bezzling £650, the property of the Bulla Council, in Vicloria. I arrested him near the island of Tiri tiri, as he was going on board the barque Santon, bound for New York. I told him the charge. When I mentioned his name, he said, "Rightyou are." He said he had drawn the £650 from the Treasury, and placed it in the bank to his own account, and that it was in his official capacity as engineer and treasurer to the Shire Council that he had got the money in gold from the bank when he was prepared to leave Melbourne. He ad mitted all the facts connected with the case. I found £174 on him in gold ; he said he had spent the greater part of it. —The prisoner was remanded to Victoria, to be forwarded by the next steamer.

The Conrt then rose.

SUICIDE AT THE THAME?. News of a melancholy case of suicide reaches us from the Thames. Mr. Casset (a partner iv the firm of Casset & Forceau, grocers and general dealers, 173, Pollen-street,) shot him self through the head with a revolver, yester day. No reason is assigned for the rash act. The business had not long since been purchased from Messrs. W. G. Harrison & Go.

Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co., E. and H. Isaacs, Lewis Brothers, I. Phillips, and C. Davis give notice that their places of business will be closed on Monday and Tuesday next. Even old shoes are now cnnsiderad as valu able in commerce as rags. A recent writer gives the following respecting their use and manufacture: " They are cut up in small pieces, and these are put for a couple of days in chloride of sulphur, which makes the leather very hard and brittle. After this is effected, the material is washed with water, dried, ground to powder, and mixed with soire substance which makes the particles adhere together, as shellac, good glue, or thick solution of gum. It is then pressed into moulds, and shaped into combs, buttons, knife-handles, and many other articles." Icesterday's Advertiser says : —" Within the last few days a requisition was numerously signed, asking Mr. Creighton to stand for the representation of this district in the Provin cial Council. There were, we understand, 450 signatures appended to the requisition. Mr. Creighton has, however, declined to stand for the goldfleld, intending, we believe, to be a candidate for another district. Mr. Mitchel still remains in tho field, and as, notwith standing a few foibles, we might easily go further and fare woi*3e, we think he ought to be allowed to walk the course."

From our Thames telegrams we learn that a young man named Marshall has been drowned in the Kauwaeranga Creek whilst attempting to ford the stream.
