The Evening Star. WEDNESDA Y, NOVEMBER 23, 1870.

A subject of a very interesting kind, not only to the residents in Parnell, but to the people in the City, will come up for discussion in the Provin cial Council this evening on the motion of Mr. Lusk. The circuitous and diffi cult means of communication between the populous suburb of Parnell and the centre of business, has long been a subject of complaint; while the beach extending, around by Port Britomart has presented facilities for effecting a communication so easy aijd so-accord ant with the apparent intentions of nature, that the wonder;,,Lis. the. ground of. complaint, should. have continued so long. ■ J^o doubt difficul ties have been in. vthe way? oJrtliis* pub lic work, and the fanciful valueplaced by persons on their rights to" the fore snore, of which, " dog in thei/ nianger'' like, they can make no use., #r ;have de T layed a great public' conTeraeßfie^, It; is evident to any one thatthe. tfalue of ,properl"e'3 abutting on this shore vw*buld: tfe greatly enhanced1! by the opening of a thoroughfare that would connect, not only Parnell but the Grreat &outh Eoad, with Queen=street aiid the^ wharves, and it': is, a pity r 'that siich power should be in the. hands of private parties. A gross blunder is frequently committed by Governments in-, the early daya of , settlement in disposing of the rights to the I*6 restore, and the banks of na'-.

vigable rivers ;;and where such rights have been unwisely /conceded, and no valuable interests have been created, it is to be regretted that legisla tion, which can do anything, does not interpose between the greed of selfishness and the legitimate de mands of the public. By what ever means the object contemplated in Mr. Lusk's motion can be com1 passed, even though it should be paying of large compensation, the natural track between the Queen street Wharf and the country by the way of Official and Mechanics' Bays, whether for highway or railway, should be in the possession of the public. It is to be hoped that the step taken by the honorable member for Parnell will not be viewed as one of local, but general interest, and that it will be preliminary, to the opening up that track which nature has indicated as the line for tho roughfare between the city and the country.

It will be seen from advertisement elsewhere that Mr. G-eo. Ivil, hairdresser, has removed from 203 to 121, Queen-street, next door to the British Hotel.

Tenders are required for making one suit of sails for the revenue-cutter Ringleader, specifi cations to be seen at the Custom-house.

In the Police Court to-day, a decision was arrived at by the Bench, which, from its total inadequacy to meet the case.. i» deserving df notice. A nurse girl, in charge of two infants, one of them a baby in her arms, had been sent .down by her mistress to walk on the beach in St. G-eorge's Bay. She happened to have been followed by a dog belonging to a neighbour, but which appears to have committed some depredations on defendant's ducks. The ac cused accosted the girl in violent language, and, without any provocation, or insolence of any . kind, seized her by the throat, and, with the child in her arm 3,. flung her violently to the ground. Every detail of-the linmanly attack was Tfully corroborated by witnesses, and the Bench in its wisdom or dered defendant to give his bond for £5 to keep the peace for three months, but ordered each party to pay their own cost 3. Such a decision is a simple mockery of justice^and if the helpless state of infancy cannrit receive better protection from the law, our confidence in the1 yahie' of law-courts will naturally be somewhat snakenl *~ ' '

It should be remembered by all the chari tably disposed that a benefit to, the Provincial Hospital will be given tornight by the Orpheus Minstrels, at the Symonds-street Music Hall. With such an ojbject and under such distinguished patronage,* and with such amateur talent, we anticipate' a- great .siicce"sS; and a valuable gift to the Hospital as the re sult of the generous effort;' ,■

The prize firing of^the Naval Volunteers, which, was yesterday to have taken place at the butts, at Point Chevalier, was in, conse quence'1 of the1 unfavourable;; state of tHe weather, postponed till Friday, wheij, from the result <jf the contest,, it wilK be«decided who shalLbe selected to uphold the "honor of Auck land at the interprovincial rifle .match ap prcSaening. To'day-thW Armed Constabulary are engaged at the butts, and to-morrow such of "the Auckland Bifle Volunteers as have not yet had an opportunity will proceed, for rifle practice to the same place.

PETTY SESSIONS

The same Magistrates then sat. in Petty ses sions to adjudicate on the business held over from the previous day.

Assault.— Richard Carter was charged jvHh having, on the l#h instant, assaulted R. Whithard, at Newmarket.' —Messrs. Wynn and Hesketh for the prosecution.—Ulr. Joy for the defence.—R. Whithard, deposed-: I "am stockman. ;to Mr. Buckland.. I was on. horseback, and .started my horse to head I the1 lamb 3. The horse's head was towards My. Carter.: The horse kicked up a little in starting. He called out, "you're a drunken fool; you're drunk." I did riot reply, bat went on after the lambs and put them through the toll-gate. I left my horse and went back to Mr. Carter to

ask him what; he meaiit. He wa»Js* the back do(s3way of the .Bla^hte^housey.i3 asked him wlmt he He said^f" You are -drunk. T> You're Brunk now." I said, "I said.) ." It's a lie." With that he snatched the .whip!, out of my hand, and, struck me over the head, with it. He struck me repeatedly over, the head, and broke th<pr&nale off the whip. We fell': I underneal;hS|sßt% had me by the hair, and was bumping my^h^ad on the ground. ;^I caught him by the beajrd. iHe was, pulled/ off me, and on gettiqg up I asked hini for the whip, arid he said, "Yes, I'll give yort it," and struck me'! again over the headAwo or three times ; and whfen I grasped the whip he struck me, and dashed me through the a fall of at least five feet. He had not ordered me to go out of the slaughter house. It was about six o'clock in the evening. Next day I laid the information. I. was per fectly sober at the time of the assault. I was knocked dizzy by the stroke on the head.—To Mr. Joy : I had but two glasses of beer and one of eharidygaff during that "day. I. am positive I had not tasted spirits that day, and that I was in no way under the influence of drink at the time of the assault. —The cross examination was continued at considerable length.—James Whiskey, a moulder at New market, deposed to the facts of the assault" as detailed'by last witness, and to .plaintiff being perfectly sober at the time. —E. Eichards, a slaughterman at the Newmarket yards, deposed, to having come forwai'd when the two were struggling on the ground. After their being separated, Carter struck plaintiff over the head several times with the whip, and the end flew off. Carter threw him over the verandah.— Cross-examined by Mr. Joy:—Jolmßrame de posed that lie had been in company with plaintiff"all day. Saw the parties at the time defendant charged plaintiff with being drunk. Whithard was perfectly sober at the time.—' C. Anderson deposed that he had known Whithard seven years, and never knew him under the influence. Saw him on the evening in question. Had taken tea with. him. He was perfectly sober. —-This closed the case for the prosecution. . ' .

The Court adjourned for half an hour.

"AS RICH AS A JEW."

The rich Jews of New York have much inherited wealth.and as they almost invariably live within/; their incomes, a Jewish family is certain to get rich. The murdered Nathan had been making money steadily ever since he.was a youth, and only death pufi a stop to his-, affluence. To his name may be added that of the Harts (Anglicised from the Hert); the Noes, the Rimsous (famed as pawn brokers), the Bernheimers^ the' Levys (and the Levisons), the Moses, the Einanuels, the Isaacs, the Solomons, the Davids, and other scriptural names, all noted for wealth. The rich Jews do not dash in the fast way for which "Young America" is notied. The only spoi'ting man of high rank that I know among them is August JBelmont. He lives in grand style in Fifth avenue, and keeps a fine stud of finely, bred horses. He has been for thirty years the head of a banking house which bears the name of Rothschild, and is the American agency of the great European capitalist. Belinont is too fashionable to bend himself to ■ the letter of Hebrew ordinances and customs. He is not one of the " stricter sort," and wandered so far into the Gentile world as to marry the daughter of ,an American commodore. The affair made great' excilment at the time, and the fashion able world was quite indignant that the niece of Pepry on the Lakes should marry Belmorit. The bride, however, had a deed of a Fifth avenue mansion to start with, and if the course of domestic life has not subsequeii: t tly run smooth, the world has not discovered it. The Jews are masters of the gold market, as- any one may know who enters the noisy room where the commodity is daily sold as an article of merchandise.

MARRIAGE OF FIRST COUSINS PROHIBITED BY NEW HAMP SHIRE.

The Legislature of the State of New Hamp shire ha 3 just achieved a piece of heroic legis lation which i 3 sufficiently significant. After, the 24th December,. 1869, this local and paternal Government directs that first co sins shall not intermarry within the confines of its territory. This suggests a good many con siderations as to the"point at which, state interference with the Jiberty of the subject must end ; and it is not too much to say that there is scarcely any other topic of public interest that is So completely in chaos. As to the great desirability of first cousins not inter marrying, there can be no doubt. Medical testimony traces th« most ghastly evils to this cause; and con|mon .experience is full of instances oE-.t^b^Sire^Asultaqfit. Physical; deformity, decay,' and; insanity are the natural fruits of this intermafrrying, which is the rule: rather th.an.the exception, among many noble families in England. Even where there are no immediate evil results from this too close intermingling of blood.: the effects of such a marriage may be only postponed for a generation. ' It is' surely very desirable that such marriages should not take place*; and that young people;, who ..may be. inclined to laugh at bugbears which they deem" imaginary, should be taught, ..not only the risk they run in 'the present, but also^fche duty they owe to the future! We doubt very much, however, whether the State Legislature of Now Hamp shire was wise in translating their wiih into a compulsory law.— Examiner.

THE WAR.

FRENCH PANIQS. s,.'.'.'Tli'e-'FreiK^soldiera appearj&jbe singulady. liable to panics". [TlipiSticl£"recentlj,,ga,Te an account of a false alarm at Bouzonville, some miles to the east of Metz. A sentry who bad lost himself came suddenly upon another, who immediately fired and shot him dead. The contagion of firing set in, and the whele cor don of sentinels discharged their rifles. Many other instances in which French soldiers have given way to such sudden impulses can be mentioned. In the Crimea, in January, 1855, at break of day, after a perishing night of snowstorms, the advanced posts of a regiment encamped on the Intermann plateau, believing; themselves to be suprised, cried, " Aux armes !" In a few seconds they saw that they had raised a false alarm, but it was too late. The regiment, which was eucainped in column, took up the ciy, tumbled out of bed, and rushed' to the piled arms. The locks were frozen, and on being put on full cock, which was done by the men at once, would not re main so ; the hammers, net catching, fell, and the rifles went off. ,The first division of the column thought it was attacked in rear ; the second believed itself surrounded, and so on for the other divisions. For some^ time dis order was at its height, and the officers were powerless." The panic was ; communicated electrically to all the neighbouring regiments, in which the same things were instinctively ! repeated. Curiously, no one ■ was wounded, JWha^ was most worthy, of remark on this occasion was the iostapt cocking of the rifles. The tumblers of almost all Itpe. locks held a little moisture, which, .mixing with the hard? iened grease, caused an obstruction, arid so the hammers fell and the guns went off. On the :30th jof May, 1 859', Canrobert's 3rd"corps was at Prarola, on-the: right bank of the Sesiflj; a storiii came on, and after, it was over the men went to the piles of; arms to dry and clean, them. Finding some of the'charges moistened by the.raini they discharged the rifles, which in many cases missed or hung fire. One after, another the whole corps of 25,000 men fired off their rifles, battalion after battalion, in all the divisions. The most positive orders not to fire' were unavailing, and all this occurred when a great strategic movement, which tf as to be kept secret from the Austrlans, w& in progress. Jt was impossible to stop the firing, if it 'ceased at one' point; it'began at another, and agitation consequently prevailed during the whole evening and part of the night "On the, 31st? of May, 1859■•: (says a "Garde Rationale Mobile in;tke]£>pectateur Militaire), we crossed; the, Sesia .after Palestro., ,At 4 o'clock we y wei^e ' all on the right bank; -; The change was- so; rapid thdt we l migh£' well believe ourselves without a line of retreat ;'in large corps such things are divined by instinct. On returning to camp after a; reconnaissance the cry 'Auv armes' was heard.throughout ; 6ur division,- and all the troops round Palestro were on the alert.. It. was a false alarm. Such a panic often occurs during a campaign, and always "without reason. Sometimes it gains- the old troops, who are less susceptible than the young" and untried.. Afew; minutesi • ■.. generally , restores the', sense of security, ,' biit; 'in." ' meanwhile some seize. 'their' anna'i through* pKu'derice,) although,,acting on ihe'generalimpulse, others do so without motive, the vest' through inex perience, all reading a surprise, which..-. is generally quite improbable." The "Garde Nationale" makes a -practical suggestion for the abatement of such panics, and says that-jit would be suflieent if the trumpeters,sounded "la baroque,"-, which calls .'the soldier ta {§& meals or : to his rest. He also adds that' an' assured iine of retreat singularly increases'the confidence of .troops. It is riot enough that thei staff: should ' have this confidence ; they, should kn6w'h6w to communicate it to the; troops they direct. Incessant marches.and counter-marches'always leave the soldier in doubt and- dread. The longer action is delayed the more terrible becomes suspense, the^ unknown; and the, apprehended.— Tall 'Mall Gazette.- -' ■ ?
