The Evening Star. SATURDAY JULY 9, 1870.

We were gratified to see that Mr. Byan was rewarded last night, by a crowded house at the Prince of Wales Theatre, on the occasion of lm benefit; and we are surs he must have felt proud to see that his past endeavours have been met with such warm recognition at the hands of the Aucklaud public. At the cod of the drama, " The Moral Brand," which was played well, Mr. Eyan was loudly called for, ;ual on leading forward Mrs. Hill, that lady was showered witn boquets. We think Mr. Eyan might have ad dressed a fetv words to his audience, but suppose he had hardly recovered from his late "death." A dance by Miss Gre.enless, some capital buffo singing by Mr. Morgan, and the burlesque of "Macbeth,* brought the evening's en tertainment to a close.

There was a capital attendance at the Theatre Royal last night, it being for the benefit of Master Johnny and Miss Minnie Gourlay. A yacht va'ued at £10 was given away to a man ia the stalls who happened to hold the lucky num ber. VVe understand this talented family are about to- make a farewell lour through the provinces, and we are sure their endeavours to amuse wi!l bo re warded as they deserve.

The Bishop of Auckland will, we learn, preach at Sfc. Sepulchre's Cliurch to-morrow morning, and administer the Holy Communion. Bishop Patterson will, if well enough, assist in the service, and will himself preach at the same Church in the evening. The offertory will on belli occasions be devoted towards the deficiency in the funds of the past year, which, in consequence of heavy calls upon the income, amounts to near £40. A special general meeting of the mem ber:; of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterdny afternoon, at the Mechan ics' Institute. A report, prepared by the sub-committee, on the subject of the Bankruptcy laws, was brought up and fully discussed, at length. A discussion took place on Customs drawbnek, and a resolution was passed on the subject. A report on the gold duty question was also brought up, discussed, and adopted. The annual meeting of St. Sepulchre's wiil be held in the Church on .Monday evening next. The Right Rev. the Bishop of Auckland and Bishop Patterson will address the meeting.

! The monthly meeting of the members of the Auckland Institute will be held on Monday evening next. On Tuesday ! Captain Hulton will deliver a lecture on the " Manufacture of .New Zealand Flax." A meeting of persons interested in the estate of Mr. S JT. Smith, will be held at the stores of W. J. Hurst and Co., on Monday next. A cruel assault was perpetrated at the Thames on '! hursday evening. A man named Wallis, manager of the Poverty and Charleston, and who lodged on the bench between Shortlaiid and Granams town, was disturbed towards night by some noise. He left the house, and soon afterwards got engaged in a dispute with one Johnston. A fight ensued, and John ston got Wallis down, and kicked him in the most brutal manner. Wallis's spine was so much injured that he has since become paralysed, and is at present in the hospital. Johnston is in custody.

THE CARANDINI CONGESTS.

Notwi HSTANBiifG- the many counter attrac tions last evening, the City Ilall was again filled, when the Carandini family gave their fifth concert. The programme, last night, included many gems, which were rapturously received by the audience. Miss Rosina and Fannie sang many song.s, but we were sorry to see that the greater part of the audience will still persist in demanding encores. It must be very trying for these ladies to submit so often to this, but still they do so with good grace, and always come bofore then* audience smiling. The encores now are becoming such a nuisance that really they are not appreciated as they deserve, or ought to be, so we hope the audiences in future will be a little more lenient, at least. to the fair song stresses. Mrr Joe Small, of course, sang many of his comic songs; his " Unfortunate Man being as well received as ever. To-night an excellent programme is announced, and we are jure there will be a crowded house.

The Enter prise took the cutter in tow, but in conse quence of the heavy westerly breeze blowing since, she appears to be unable to remove her from her position. She is apparently now lying on the Spit, and as soon as the Enter prise conies up we shall be able to learn the name of the vessel. It is supposed by some to be the Alarm, which vessel proceeded to Kohimarima this morning to land cattle

He hus been living with a native woman, and brought her and their child up to Auckland.

THE AUCKLAND COTTON COMPANY.

Some days ago we mentioned the fact of ihe schooner Onward having left this port for Fiji, ou behalf of the Auckland Cotton Com pany. We are happy to be üble to be in a position to state the prospects of the company, which are extremely good. The entire ull'uir was hatched and reared in this city, and is in every respect an Auckland company. The capital is £30,000, and the whole of the shares have been taken up. About 15,000 acres of land have been purchased at Wandy Bay, on the south-west point of Viti Levu, on which a ginning point was .erected at the time of the purchase, and a small portion in cultivation. About one half of the land is suitable for the culture of Sea Island cotton, which is worth from 4s to 5s per lb. The present manager of the company, Mr. BennJe, former owner of the estate, went down by the Onward to com mence operations, lie was accompanied by the secretary, Mr. Scott, who has also had experience in cotton-,, rowing. The brig Rita is expected shortly from the South, and she has been cha' tered by the company to taky down horses, slock, and implcmints for the estate. After lauding these, she will go on to China to procure coolies for working the plantation.

The circumstance of the land being level and near the beach, and thus suitable for the growth of the Sea Island cotton, enhances its value considerably, and we cannot but think that the company begins work under very favorable circumetances. It is satisfactory to see tllat this city is thus well represented in Fiji, and we hope that its works may soon be come expended.

We believe that there is ample room for other companies, and we shall only be too glad to hear of other organizations with similar objects. No branch of commerce can be of greater importance to Auckland than her Island trade. — Herald.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

I TiiE.finaneiiil policy of the Government, will I be discussed this evening in the House of; Representatives. It has been announced, with ; that truth we are nob in a position to state, -\ that the coalition of Auckland members under \ the leadership of Mr. Gillies and Mr. Reader \ Wood, do not intend to oppose the financial! policy, but merely to discuss it on its merits, j What has led to this result it is hard to con jecture, but the probability is that the favour able manner in ■which the statement is viewed by the leading Southern journals has had something to do with the determination. !

The Assembly has refused to receive the petition of the Wanganui and Rangitikei set tlers, asking it not to vote the Governor's salary. Their representative, Mr. H. S. Harrison, in presenting it, said that lie did so simply as a painful act of duty, and that he did not agree with its prayer. The petition of the Wanganui and Waitotara settlors, praying for compensation was present ed by Mr. Harrison, but objected to on the ground that its last two clauses contained language which was disrespectful to the House. Mr. Harrison withdrew the petition in order to amend it.

The debate on the Financial Statement commences to-morrow. If the House should declare against the proposals of the Govern ment, the latter is willing to accept six months supplies, so as to enable a dissolution tj take place, as soon as the Representation Readjust ment bill has been passed. In case of a dissolution taking place it is proposed that the new House should meet before the close of the present year. The Court of Appeal has decided that the last Criminal (Sessions held here were invalid. All proceedings accordingly go for nothing, and the prisoners still stand committed for trial on the Magistrate's original warrants. The Wellington (ias Company's Bill was rejected, for non-compliance with the standing orders.

A Committee of the house have reported upon the VVanganui petition, ask.ng that a sum of £2000, should be placed up.jii the esti mates, for the purpose of protecting the banks of ihe Wanganui river from further encroach ment. The report is to the effect ; that such works elsewhere are provided for by a local taxation, and the pettivion is not therefore recommended for favourable consideration.

Intelligence has been received to-day from Opotiki, to the effect that 34 rebels who had been in the bush since 1865 have surrendered, and are now prisoners at Opotiki. The late attack of Hauhaus on the store at Raglan is declared by Mr. McLean as not likely to cause any further trouble. The new petition for compensation from the Waitotara settlers has been presented to the House.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

July 2. Probably the most important part of yester day's brief proceedings was the reply by the .Native Minister to a question from Mr. Travers as to the recent amalgamation of the Auckland Police with the Araied Constabulary. The arrangement was, that the Commissioner was to select the men and manage the force, the Provincial Government would bo happy to make the arrangement- witli any other Pro vince, so that the benefit of Mr. Branigan's ex perience might be as widely diffused as pos sible. After some interesting bill business, the interminable Otiigo Hundreds Eegulation Act cropped up again in the renewed debate on Mr. Brown's motion, for leave to bring in Repeal Bill. The Provincial party and Mr. Vogel seenied indisposed to accord the usual permission; but the spirit of fair play prevailed in the House, and member after member protested against an attempt to bur!: the question. Mr. Vogi-1 expressed a conviction that the Hundreds system wns no longer suited to the requirements of the Province, and that free selection was rapidly gaining favour. Mr. Main concurred, and some little astonishment was catised by Mr. Brown, in a very emphatic manner, ex claiming " No, no," to some statement of Mr Vogel's as to what had taken place in the Provincial Council. Mr. Macandrew and Mr. M'lndoe confirmed Mr. Vogel's account, and when it came to his reply, Mr. Brown admitted that he had misunderstood what the Treasurer was saving. The Hundreds subject is not usually an amusing one, but Mr. Brown managed to make it so, and caused heartier laughter than perhaps ever before convulsed the House. With admirable se riousness he referred to the obstructions thrown in his way in bringing in the bill, as confirming what he had been told in Otago by Mr. Main, that no private -nffcrnber had a chance of carrying a bill through that House. In support of this, Mr. Main had told him of a highly deserving young member who had for three sessions tied to, carry a favorite measure. On the last occasion the bill got as far as a third reading, when it was rejected and this so affected its author that he went home, pined away, and soon died of a broken heart, This tragical legend, so far from im pressing the House with a sense of its misdeeds and the responsibilities it had incurred, caused roars of laughter, which were brought to a climax by perceiving the serious aspect of the speaker, who perhnps wished to foreshadow what would bo his on fate if his bill wns rejected. Mr. Main attempted some explanation, but, the House was not disposed ito nave a good thitig spoiled. The bill was i brought in and a first time. The Ballot Bill i was passed through committee after the de ! cision arrived at on a previous occasion by a : majority of one in favor of written nominations, ( had been reversed by »i majorityof 2, thenum '■bers being 26 to 24. The Married Women's ! Property Bill was referred to a Select Com ! ruittee; the bill for compelling the altend | anee of witnesses for the defence in criminal | cases was read a second time, and one or two ■. new bills brought in. After orders for some other returns, Mr. Williamson, referred to the progress being made in the Pacific Islands, ? and the desirability of this Colony cultivating

trade with them, moved for a return showing the number and tonnage of vessels which, at the respective ports of the Colony of New Zealand, have, during the years commencing Ist January, 1862, and ending 31st March, 1870, entered from and cleared for the several islands in the South Pacific; together with the principal articles of their cargo, and value of the same, and the number of passengers conveyed by such vessels. Mr. Rolleston took occasion to call attention again to the importation to Auckland of South Sea Islanders, and expressed a hope that, steps would be taken to guard the reputation of this Colony from such slurs as those' which rested on Queensland in a similar matter. Mr. Fox, in reply, said there was no fear of this Colony acquiring the same character as Queensland had done, and the G-overnment saw no reason at present to interfere. They had heard that a carge of these Islanders had been offered for sale at a port to the north of Auckland, but they did not believe the statement. The motion was agreed to, after Mr. Williamson had pointed out. that if these Islanders were allowed to come to the Colony some officer should be appointed to see that they were engaged on fair terms, and .that the agreements were properly carried out. The House then adjourned until Tues day, : ■■''■:"•?.""

THE AUCKLAND MEMBERS.

We extract the following from a leading article published in tke Wanganui Chronicle : —

" The Auckland members, under the leader ship of Mr. Gillies, appear determined to resist Mr. Vogel's financial proposals to the utmost, while a somewhet influential member of the house, in the person of Mr. Curtis, the Superindent of Nelson, is reported to be ready to aid and abet their efforts. Nay more, it is rumoured that one of the "whips" of the of the Government, Mr. R. J. Creigh ton, an Auckland member, who has been editr of Mr. Vogel's organ, the Southern Cross, iias pitched his chief, his paper and his party overboard, and elected to fight under the banner of Mr. Gillies. If this be the ca3e the Government will have a strong opposition to contend against, and the alternative will be forced upon them of either abandoning their financial proposals, or appealing. ;to the country." ■ • ■ ■

THE ENGLISH COMMISSIONERS.

Mr. Cabieton has given notice of motion for to-morrow, —" For copies of all correspondence not yet laid on the table having reference to the mission of Commissioners Featherston and Bell to England ; also, of all correspondence, including telegrams, concerning the non appointmen'o as Commissioner of Mr. Cracroft Wilson." Rumor has it that of the latter gentleman is somewhat sore upon this point, and conceives that in this as in rethe Ghoorkhas he has been rather hardly dealt with.

MYSTERIOUS CASE OF SUPPOSED SUICIDE.

(From the Melbourne Telegraph.) It will no doubt be remembered that some time since a M. Charles D'Aloustel, a profes sor of languages residing" in Collins-street East, near the residence of Mr. Wragge, chemist, was charged, bsfore the City Police Court, with, having indecently as-aulted a little girl named Smith, the daughter of a baker living and carrying on business in a lane alongside Mr. Wragg's house, and be tween Collins-street and Flinders lane. The evidence did not support the charge, and the accused was discharged ; and like everything else the affair was a nine days' wonder to all but those who were immediately connected with it, or with the chief personages in the charge. But although the public, as usual, lost sight of it, the principal actors in the affair— or at least one of them, does not seem to have regarded it in the light of a trivial affair but, on the contrary, it appears to have made a deep impression on his mind. Low spirits have alternated with unnatural excitement in the mind of M. D'Aloustel, who was apparently of a 'naturally excitable temperament. His friends made searching inquiries into the facts of the accusation, and the results of these were, it is, stated, such as to convince them that there was no truth in the accusation preferred against hira. Nevertheless, the charge made a deep impression of disgrace on a sensative nature, and the assurances of the continued confidence of his friends did not remove all its effects i'roin M. D'Alonstel, who refused to be comforted. Still there was nothing in his manner to lead his friends to anticipate that he was so much affected as to meditate putting an end to his existence. It was, therefore, a surprise to them yesterday, when it became known that circumstances had been discovered such as to lead to the almost inevitable supposition that he had committed suicide. About two o'clock a man named Edward Frost discovered on the banks of the Yarra, at the back of the resi dence of Mr. 0. E. Bright, South Yarra, a portion of v suit of clothes, sinco identified as those of M. D'Aloustel. There was a black frock coat, and an overcoat, a white hat, of the " bell-topper " shape, a black silk necktie, and a red silk scarf. Frost at once conveyed information to the police, and, on examination of the clothes, there was found in them a pocket - book containing £338, principally in notes, a £e\r postage stamps, and some memoranda and documents identifying the property with M. D'Aloustel. During the day the police and others were busily employed in" dragging the river for the body, but were unsuccessful up to a late hour, although there seems but little reason for coming to any other conclusion than that the unfortunate circumstances above referred to have so preyed upon the mind of M. D'Aloustel as to induce him to take his own life. This supposition is strengthened by the fact that, he has not been seen since Monday last, when lie was seen early in the afternoon leaving his house, but apparently in his usual state of mind, although some neighbours who noticed him at the time men tion that he appeared a little w lder in ap pearance than usual. ,M. D'Alouslel was by profession a French advocate, but since his residence in the colony has been engaged as a professor of languages. He was generally very popular, from his quiet unassuming man ner, and seems to have lived a very quiet life. He resided by himself in a cottage in Collius street east,, near Mr. Wragge's, and devoted himself to quiet pursuits. The search for the body mil be continued to-day, and as soon as it is recovered, an inquest will probably di vulge all particulars. ,
