The Evening Star. SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1870.

So far as this end of the trans-pacific mail route is concerned, we hare bad, we think, the final deliverance on the reten tion or removal of the port of call. New South Wales has pronounced for Auck land, and with no uncertain language; while Queensland is conditionally com mitted on the matter to the course taken by the sister colony. The resolutions of the Sydney Chamber of Commerce have been submitted by deputation to the Go vernment of the colony, and received not only with approval but with the assurance that the Colony was already committed to Mr. Hall's contract by the action of the Go vernment. Mr. Collie is still conveying assurances of subsidy, but the game seems played out; and the Nebraska is fast vanishing from view. But yesterday the name of Collie would have stood against a thousand, to-day not one so poor as do him reverence. It would he kind for the Auckland people to give him a dinner when passing through on his homeward way, and make some small atonement for the sK Tits that alienated from us the spirit of the Nebraska.

In to-day's Tomahawk there is a really good cartoon on the millions loan. The Colonial Treasurer is standing at a table, piled with money-bags. Around are ex pectant dogs, bearing the names of the provinces, Utago appearing in the fore ground as a ferocious hull-dog. The Treasurer is presemiag a bag to the Superintendent of Auckland, who holds up his hands deprecatingly, while be side him is the "Auckland" dog, in suppliant posture, hat in hand, The legend is Mr. Gillies — " Throw money to the dogs, I'll none of it."—

Auckland clogs.—" How hard, Mr. Super. I want ray whack." There is a pleasing and touching little " In Memoriam " on the Tauranga, in which the sorrowful theme is treated with poetic feeling. The other portions of the publication are as trenchant as usual.

On Thursday night last some scoundrel, who must be as void of manliness as he is of honesty, effected an entrance into the Clanricarde Hotel, by removing a pane of glass from a window, and robbed Mrs. Chapman of money and goods. The fellow that would plunder a widow so recently bereaved and struggling to make an honorable living, deserves to be spit upon and kicked, in add: ion to the more respectable punishment of cracking scoria at Mount Edin.

We observe by advertisement that Mr. R. Beck, the well-known jeweller of Queen-street, has determined upon sell ing off his immense stock of jewellery, &c, at cost price. The articles enume rated are various, and for elegance and taste are unequalled. Ihe advertiser specially draws the attention of his lady visitors to the very choice selection of brooches which are of the newest designs and of most exquisite workmanship. Those of our readers whom fortune hai smiled upon, and of whom we have no doubt there are many, will do well to pay an early visit to Mr. Beck's establishment.

Captain Peek will preach to-morrow evening at 0.30 p.m. on board the Mary Shepherd (D.V.), referring to the loss of the Tauranga, when a collection will be made for the benefit of the widow* and orphans.

A keheahsal was held last evening in the Mechanics' Institute, by the Auck land Negro Minstrels, who are going to give an entertainment on Monday week, in aid of the abovs Institute. We believe that with plenty of practice daring the next week, the darkies will add in a great measure to the success of the entertain ment. The next rehearsal will take place on Monday evening, at 7.30, when all members of the darkened band are re quested to attend punctually. There was but a poor attendance at Royal last night, the counter attraction at the Music Hall and the weather no doubt being the cause. The "Jealous Wife" and " Lend Me Five Shillings" were the pieces produced. To-night a great bill is announced, viz., " The Tower of Nesle ; or the Chamber of Death," and the burlesque of " Cinderalla."

The Glassblowers had a very good attendance last evening, considering the frightful downpour of rain we had. All present seemed highly pleased with what they saw and heard. A large distribution of prizes brought the entertainment to a close.

The Bey. J. E. Sandys, passenger on board the s.s. Wonga Wonga, will hold divine service on board that vessel (D.V.) to-morrow, at eleven a.m. Officers and. crews of vessels are invited to attend.

The usual monthly parade of the A.N. A and A.N.V. took place last evening. There was a good attendance of members, and the ordinary evolutions were very well gone through. The usual monthly inspection of the Auckland Cavalry Volunteers took place yesterday afternoon, in the Albert Bar racks. About thirty members of the corps were present, and the evolutions of the force were well gone through. Thomas Macffarlane has become trustee in the estate of Robert Joseph La Nauze. A meeting of the creditors of Thos. Clarke is advertised for the 9th inst. B. N. Jones gives notice that he intends to apply for tis order of discharge on the Ist September.

A special general meeting of the members of Lodue 1.0.0. F., M.U., A.D.. will be held on Wednesday evening next. A special general meeting of the A.R.V. will be held on Monday evening next.

Ihe monthly meeting of the members of the Auckland Institute is advertised for Monday evening next, at 7.30, at the WBCe of the Civil Commissioner.

POLICE CJLJLT.-Saturday,

(Before D. B. Thornton and H. Morpeth, Esq?., Justices). MUNICIPAL POLICE ACT.

For breach of this Act, in allowing goats to stray, Anthony Deruse, G. Williams, G. Cordad, and W. Barton were each fined 10s and costs, or to be imprisoned seven days. _ J. Mullaly, for leaving a cart during the night on the Onehunga Eoad, was awarded a similar penalty.

SHORT WEIGHTS,

A. Lamb was fined £3 and costs for havlL-.g short weights on his counter.

A. Drummond pleaded guilty to having short weights in his shop. A second charge was laid of having certain false weights.

Inspector Eeilly deposed that he visited, on the 30th July, the shop of defendant, in Market-square, and had taken the weights produced—one professing to be 2 lbs., the other 1 lb., and each deficient by 2 drams. Fined £3, with costs, for each offence. PROTECTION TO ANIMALS.

P. Heath, a lad of 12, pleaded guilty to pursuing a pheasant with a gun at Takapuna, and was discharged with a caution. P. Nolan, another lad, having been re peatedly warned by the ranger, was fined £1 for same offence.

MEKCHAXT SHIPPING ACT,

Captain Davidson, of the Cantero, barque, was summoned by James Hill, a seaman, for wages due.

Mr. Hesketh for plaintiff, Mr. Wynn for defence.

Captain Davidson, called by Mr. Hesketh, deposed: I owe Hill wages up to July 16, £12 18s lOd, viz., to the day the ship was abandoned. Hill assisted me to pull out towards the ship next day. He was remaining in Auckland for the enquiry. I paid his board, because I w-as under the necessity of sending him to Newcastle, and he wa3 waiting till I could get him a passage. To Mr. Wjnn : I offered the order produced on the owner at Newcastle, with the sanction of the Collector of Customs. The other men took such order. I could not raise any money in Auckland. The other men have gone on to Newcastle, I having obtained passage for them in the Jane Dalgleish. Hill refused to go. James Hill, deposed to having been asked to come over to Auckland and give evidence on the enquiry. I claim wages till the 29th, because that was the first time he spoke of discharging us. He guaranteed our board ; I never insisted on being sent to Newcastle. To Mr. Wynn : I declined to receive the order for wages to the 16th, viz., £12 18s. lOd.

Mr. Wynn addressed the Court to show that the contract ended with the abandon ment of the Cantero, and Mr. Hesketh re plied.

The Bench found for the amount of £12 18s. lOd as due to plaintiff, each to pay his own costs.

It was debated between counsel whether the order on owner tendered was satisfaction

It was ruled by the Bench that payment should be in cash.

George Taggart pleaded guilty to the charge laid against him by Captain Moore, of- the Santon, of disobedience on oih August. A second charge of embezzling cargo was brought atjainet him, but Mr. Weston, for prosecution, after pleading to the former charge, desired to withdraw the latter.

For the disobedience prisoner was sentenced to 4 weeks' imprisonment with hard labor.

THE SPECIMEN STEALING CASE. —PRISONER

committed for trial.

On the charge against James Wilson of stealing specimens from the Whau claim being resumed, it was stated by counsel that tha defence would be withheld, and prisoner was committed for trial.

Mr. Sheehan applied to have the prisoner held to bail, and in a very small amount. He stated that counsel had a complete and tri umphant defence to the charge, but had pre ferred retaining it for a jury. The prisoner was the only support of an aged mother and his sisters, and requiring heavy security would be tantamount to sending him to prison. Bail allowed —prisoner in a bond of £100, and two sureties in £50 each.

The Court then rose,

ARRIVAL OF THE 'AIREDALE.'

The Circular Saw Company's s.s. Aire dale, Captain Kennedy, arrived in the Manukau at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

The mails and passengers may be ex pected in town about four o'clock.

CONCERT AT THE MUSIC HALL.

There was a very large audience at the con cert given at the Music Hall last evening, by Madame and the Misses Carandini, assisted by members of the Auckland Choral Society. The piece selected was Mendelssohn's master piece, " Elijah," and never before have Aye experienced such a treat. The solos were beautifully rendered by the Carandinis, Mr. Sherwin, and a member of the Society, and the choruses, with the exception of one or two, were exceedingly well done. The vocalists were ably supported by a full orchestra, under the direction of Mr. J. Browne, con ductor of the Society. We regret that our space precludes a lengthened report.

THE ENGLISH MAILS.

The s.s. City of Melbourne, with the English mail via San Irancisco, is expected to arrive here about Monday evening or Tuesday next. She left here on the 7th July, and would probably arrive at Honolulu on the 23rd. As the 24th would fall on Sunday she would, no doubt, be detained until the 25th, and, giving her sixteen to make the return passage, she should arrive here as above. There is every reason to believe that the Suez mail will be received here promptly this month, as two steamers will be leaving Sydney about the time of the arrival of the mail steamer there. The Hero is announced to leave on the 6th, but would probably wait a few hours for the mail, If not, the Auckland would be leaving about the Bth, so that in any case our mail will not be left in Sydney for several day* as on last occasion.

VICTORIA.

MUEDEE OF ME. WALSHE.

The betting market still continues in a very languid state, but it ia evident that Barbelle is going to run Tim Whiffler hard for the first place in the odds for the Metropolitan. She is now the most fancied for that race in the double-event betting. Phyrrus is also com ing forward in public estimation, and it is believed will carry the stable money. For the Melbourne Cup but little has been done beyond long shots. Little Dick was backed yesterday at 1000 to 25, Trump Card at 500 to 10, and Miss Wilkins was backed for Tas mania at 1000 to 8. For the double event Barbelle was taken with Glencoe at 1000 to 5, and again with Florence at 1000 to 4; she was taken with Palmerston and Flying Duch man at 1000 to 3. Phyrrus was taken with Manuka at 300 to 1. Tim Whiffler was backed for a place for the Cup at 50 to 20, and the Earl at 30 to 10.

The Fire at the Varieties.—The in quest on the body of Mary Tucker was con cluded on the 20th ult. The coroner having briefly summed up the evidence, one of the jurymen asked if it was not possible to attach a rider to their verdict, expressing an opinion that all three of the men who had been con cerned in the rescue of the girl were entitled to equal praise. The coroner said that while he had no doubt that each of the men had done their best to rescue the girl, the pre sent inquiry had nothing to do with that point, but was merely to find out bow de ceased came by her death. The jury then, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict to the effect that deceased came by her death from burns accidentally received at a fire at the Varieties on the morning of the sth inst.

The trial of Gerald H. Supple for the mur der of Mr. J. S. Walshe, took place yesterday, at the Criminal Sessions, and resulted in a verdict which will cause an argument before the full bench. The jury after a most pro tracted sitting of fourteen and a half hours, returned a verdict of guilty of murder; but added that the discharge of the pistol had been accidental. Law points, upon this finding, were reserved. The court was densely crowded throughout the day, and great interest was manifested in the proceed ings. The prisoner maintained a very com posed demeanor, but made two or three inter jections in the course of the sitting, after the same manner as he did at the inquest. He remarked at one time that he had attempted the assassination because the ]aw provided no way of punishing his slanderers, and referred at another to a statement be had prepared, but this wan not read in court. He stands remanded for sentence. Now that the question of the sanity or insanity of the prisoner has been disposed of, we would merely remark that those of his friends who have been making extraordinary exertions in his behalf appear to have overshot the mark. Ihe evidence brought in support of the theory of his insanity proved too much. The major ity of the witnesses in his favour were more or less connected with a journal —the Argus — to which he was a constant contributor up to the time when be committed the crime of which he has been found guiity. His brief connection with the Age was more dwelt upon than his more recent connection with other journals, although it is hardly creditable that madness and the calm discharge of literary duties could co-exist for a long series of years. Some of his later contributions might have been referred to as affording the best of evi dence as to the state of his mind. Reference to his opinions on articles written twelve years ago, concerning which the witnesses them selves must have an indistinct recollection, and about which they are, not improbably, quite at fault, was overstrained and far-fetched in the extreme, and had a tendency to defeat the object of getting prisoner off on the plea of insanity.

A living female infant, about a fortnight old, was found on Friday evening inside the gate of the Hon. Wm. Highett's residence, Richmond. A sheet of note-paper attached contained the following, in a woman's hand writing : —" Oh do, for God's sake, be kind to my dear babe, for her broken-hearted mother will not forsake her long, but must, as I have no friends or relations, and my last shilling gone. Call her Beatrice. You shall hear from me as soon as I earn some money. From the most unhappy creature in exis tence." The child was on Saturday remanded by the local Bench, in order that the police might make inquiries.

At the criminal sessions yesterday, Freder ick William Musika, a publican, residing at Williamstown, was charged with shooting at one James Davis, with intent to kill him. Davis, a young man of about 30 years of age, was lodging at the prisoner's at the beginning of this year. Whilst there he seduced one of the daughters of his landlord, and after wards went to Gipp's Land. Musika first learned of his daughter's condition in the beginning of this month, and he became so exasperated that he threatened to proceed at once to Gipps Land and shoot Davis. Davis, who was ignorant that Musika was aware of his relations towards his daughter, re turned to Williamstown. on the sth of July, and at once went to the hotel, as he said, with the intention of marrying the girl. Musika, who was very much excited, fired a pistol at him. Three of the nipples had been plugged, and two attempts to fire failed, but on the third attempt the bullet lodged in Davis's side, the wound turning out to be a very slight one. Davis's manner of giving evidence excited general disgust in Court, and an attempt by him to throw the blame of his conduct on the unfortunate girl, caused the Chief Justice, in summing up, to designate him as " a being," retracting the tsrm " man," which he had previously applied to him. The jury found the prisoner " Guilty," and he was sentenced to one month's imprison ment.

The command of the large steamship Wonga Wonga, now running from Sydney to Honolulu, has been given to Captain John Steuart, of Melbourne. Captain Steuart is well known as having long held command of the s.s. Aldinga, and there is no doubt that he will be equally popular in his new

charge

MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

To the Editor of the. Evening Star

g lßj —What is the matter with the clock in the news-room ? All last week it stood at 10 o'clock; to-day it has been 9 o'clock all day. Would it not be advisable to call in the aid of one of our horologists, Mr. Macready or Mr. Bartlett for instance, to advise and, if necessary, to prescribe a remedy for its ail ments. I feel sure that our energetic and urbane secretary would feel deeply indebted to them for any advice or assistance they might render him in so important a matter as keeping such an erratic servant in order. Last week I thought it was intended as a protective hint, that we were to be allowed to remain as long as the privileged hurdy-gurdy persons in the large room, whom I very often envy their extra houi', and would willingly join, but that my saltatory days are gone by, but to-day my dreams in that respect have vanished into air.—Yours, &c,
