The favourite clipper Novelty, Captain Nearing, arrived off the North Head last evening, from Sydney, having left that port on the 18th ultimo. She brings a cargo of general merchandisp, and several passengers. Captain Nearing report? a succession of gales from S.E. to N.E., with a very high sea for eleven days, thencr variable winds to the Kings, which were passed on Thursday morning. Had strong N.W. winds and dirty weather down ths coast, anchoring off the Heads at 6 p.m. Passengers—Mr. Blanche, and two steerage. Tbe Novelty passed the Hero about 10 miles south of the North Cape on Thursday, at 2.30 p.m., and the o.s. Nebraska off the Cavalier Island at 8.3 l,; in. same day.

Cotjj?ion.—As the schooner Clyde, Capt. Anderson, wa9 leaving the harbour last evening she came in collision with the barque Novelty, anchored off trie North Head. It appears that at -about eight o'clock, as th<= schooner was dropping down with tbe tide, she endeavoured to cross the bows of the barque, but there beinj scarcely a breath of wind, and the tide running very strong, she was unable to clear tbe barque, and came athwart the hawse, carrying away a con siderable portion of the Novelty's head gear, also splitting the mainsail and carrying awai some of the main digging of the Clyde. When the tide made the schooner got clear, anr 7 will probably leave again for Wangarei to day.

The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1871.

A steamer, supposed to be the Taranaki or Go-Abead from the South, is signalled in the Manukau as we go to press.

The fool-ball match between the Officers of H. M. s.s. Rosario and Auckland Citizens has been postponed till next Saturday.

Some very choice specimens from the Non pareil claim are to be seen at Mr. Slater's office, West Queen-street.

In our police report yesterday, A. Cannau, a seaman of H.M.S. Rosario, was misprinted A. Carrew, an error which we wish to rectify.

A meeting of creditors was held yesterday in the estate of J. J. Fernandez, hotelkeeper. The assets were set down at £140, the lia bilities at, £287 103. 6d. Mr. Thomas Mac ffarlane was appointed trustee. Messrs. Sec combe and Lyell were appointed supervisors.

A feat in pedestrianism was performed on Thursday night (says the Geelong Advertiser. 22nd April), which clearly proves that some of the fair daughters of Australia are no mean proficients in the art of " Topleyism." Four young ladies were discussing bow to set down to Queenscliff, when one of them, whose " warbling" has been admired bj ;housands, suggested that they should "pad the-hoof." "Done!" said her three com panions, and at half-past nine o'clock, with out donning a walking costume, or anything if that sort, they boldly started on their journey. On they went—past Moolap—up Kensington Hill— al^ng by the Wallington, •mrl down into the deeps of Fenwick's G-ully. r fe"e one of them began to tire, and had to avail herself of the horse of a preux chevalier. who on horseback accompanied the quartette to see that, they went fair heel-and-toe. The tired one, however, soon recovered her second

••--hid, and alighting, attempted by a great spurt to cut the other three competitors lown, but without avail. They kept" ohignou and chignon" right into the township, when 'hey all went in for a ru*b, and so cose wa> Ihe finish that the jmige did not see which of them was. the first to breast a tape. They reached Queenscliff at about twenty minutes to four, having thus negociated nineteen miles in a little over six hours. JN'ot bad work for representatives of the weaker sex.

The Grey River Argus is responsible for the following :—A good story comes to us from the Wainiea. The Warden's Court at that place boasta of course, of a Warden's Clerk, and the gentleman holding that position has an excel lent opinion of himself—so much so that he iot up a petition from the miners of that locality in favor of his being made a real live Varden in the place of Mr. Warden Schaw. • This little arrangement ■ idn't come off, and the Warden's Clerk remained Warden Clerk still, but lie had been in the habit of " sitting on the Bench"—that is to say, on a place along side the magisterial seat, and on the appear ance of that most exreller.t Ma istrate, Mr. Warden Price, the following colloquy is said to have occurred :—Warden, observing the CJlerk sitting by his side : ' Dear me, h'—m. Have you been made a J.P. ?" Clerk :" N o, *ir." Warden : " Then please take your seat below there" (pointing to the body of the Court below the bench). Clerk : "But there is no table!" Warden: "Then get a car penter to make one immediately, or get a box —get a box, sir!" And the ambitious Clerk of course suosided. The sequel, however, is better than the story. The following day a brother of the off nding Clerk, who appears to have been in the Indian array in the capacity of a surgeon, called upon Mr. Warden Price, and the scene that occurred is related to bo as follows: "Brother—(presenting car.i) : "Sir, I am Mr. Soand-So, an officer in the Indian army! You have insulted my brother, sir !" Warden: "Dear me-h'-m. I have also been an officer in the army—Bailiff! turn this man out." Mr. Price's motto is nemo me impune lacessit.

THE ALEXANDRINA.

We are exceedingly glad to find that the Alexandrina spoken of by us in our "Extra" of yesterday has not proved to be identical with the vessel of the same name now safely riding at anchor in our harbour. The identity of names, the fact of there being only one British ship bear ing this name, the circumstance of the vessel now in harbour, and till yesterday looked tor with some anxiety, having been at the time on a voyage which must have brought ber near to the'east coast of South America, and from which she might very readily have been blown into the Carrebiau Sea, all combined to produce one of the most remarkable coincidences on record. Our morning contemporary the Cross becomes virtuously indignant at our having published such "startling intelligence," and is pleased to style it * " sensation mongering." But we fail to see the duty of suppressing any intelligence, however " startling," and are astonished to think that our contempo rary, for whose fidelity to right-principles of journalism we have the utmost respect, should counsel suppression of any news, i he items in our extra were, so far as we know, or as our contemporary has made appear, strictly true, and even had they been incorrect, the conductors of that highly respectable publication, the News of the World, are responsible for their authenticity. Our contemporary has evi dently been under the impression that the murder had been committed at Puntas Arenas, whereas the statement was tnat the intelligence had merely come t© baa Francisco from that Pacific port.

:Our contemporary supposes that the Alexandrina "must have rounded Cape Horn" to arrire at the Puntas Arenas. As this would have been many thousand miles out of her course, we would sug gest as equally probable that she might have been blown across the Isthmus some hundred miles or so by one of those fearful hurricanes known to infest the West Indian Archipelago. The fact is, however, that wheresoever the sad circumstance may have occurred, whether on the eastern or western coast, the tid ings were conveyed to Puntas Arenas, nnd thence transmitted to San Francisco. The circumstances all pointed in the most striking manner to the ship now safely anchored in our waters; and, with that desire which we have to place our readers in possession of the earliest intelligence, we should not have b^en justified in suppressing them. We are ex ceedingly glad that the Alexandrina, now in harbour, has not been "connected with the unfortunate occurrence ; and we cor dially congratulate the worthy captain on the safe possession of his two legs, and beg to apologise to him for having writ ten his obituary notice.

MUTUAL MINING- INVESTMENT COMPANY.

Last night there was a meeting of in tending shareholders in this company held at the Army and Navy Hotel, the business beiDg to receive the draft of the deed of association, which was examined in detail under the guidance of Mr. Raw linson, for Messrs. Hesketh and Rich mond. There was a very large attend ance, Mr. Luscombe being in the chair; and a strong desire was evinced by all to guard against the company embarking in risky ventures. Among other things the directors were prevented from investing in the shares of any save dividend-paying claims and those of claims immediately adjoining. The company having been projected expressly for the benefit of .those of limited means, but, de sirous of sharing in the benefits of the present golden harvest, it is intended that such savings shall be guarded in every way possible from being lost, and that the possibility of " calls " shall be utterly removed. The system of payment for shares, as we have previously shown, is by weekly instalments of 5s ncr share, until these sums and the pro fits accruing shall have paid up the total nmount of £10 per share. Mr. Williams, whose office is at the corner of Queen and West Queen-streets, is the legal manager, with whom, during the week, after .Monday at noon, shareholders can enrol themselves and pay the first in stalments.

"THE ECHOES FROM THE WHAU."

We have received and perused the " Echoes from the Whau." They are the professed production of a " Brace of Lunatics." There is method, however, in their madness, and some of the Echoes, with their quaint illustrations, are genu inely comic. The frontispiece is excru ciating. It represents the lunatics in their cups, and under the potent in fluences inditing the "Echoes"—

There are two old men at the \Vhau, Who make to the public their bow ; They draw awful pictures, And they write horrid strictures These foolish old men of the Whuu.

Decidedly the gem of the brochure is " The Awful Moa." The incidents in his primeval history are graphically told, and the illustration representing his gobbling up of Maoris is irresistibly funny.

Who picked up little Maori boys As hens pick corn, with tapping noise, Closing their little dusky joys ?—■

The Moa! Who stood twelve feet without his boots ? Who collared boys and grubbed for roots ? Who didn't care for mild cheroots ?-— The Moa!

We commend the production to those interested in the pathology of madness ; and, by order of the unhappy individuals whose wierd words are therein contained, we are commanded to supply copies to all Her Majesty's subjects at the price of One shilling.

Stealing erom a Dwelling.—The case of Thomas Brown, on remind, charged with having stolen from the preaises of James Woodward, of the Whau, bacon to the value of £6, was further proceeded with.—Mr. Joy for the d. fence.—Detective Ternahan deposed that he arrested the prisoner on the 27th ultimo; that he had previously traced him for thirty miles beyond Waikakerei in October last, from information then received; but had not been able to effect the arrest sooner.—Mr. Joy addressed the Court for the defence.—The prisoner was committed for trial.

We are requested to mention that to-mor row being Trinity Sunday, the Holy Com muuion will be admhystered at St. Sepulchre's Church, at 8 a.m. The Bishop of Auckland will preach at the 11 o'clock service, and in the afternoon, at half-past 3 o'clock, will con duct Divine service at the Mount Albert schoolroom, Morningside hill.

ARRIVAL OF THE 'ALEXANDRINA,' FROM LONDON.

FEARFUJL storm,

TWO MEN KILLED,

The Alexandria, which arrived off the port last evening entered the harbour this morn ing, and brought up off the North Shore, for the purpose of landing some powder. The Alexandrina is a very fine and powerful ship, but she clearly shows, in-her appearance, the severity of the weather by which she has been knocked about during tho voyage. Our old friend Captain Sangster, formerly of the Rob Roy, is in command, and has given the utmost satisfaction to those who have come out under his care. The alexandrina landed her pilot off Portland on the 11th February, and took her final departure from Start Point on the following day. Passed Madeira on the the 26th, and crossed the Equator on tho 23rd March, in long. 22 deg. 45 W. Passed the meridmn of the Cape on the 17th, and on the 19th encountered a hard gale from W- to N.W. During this a heavy sea broke on deck, carrying away taffrail, wheel, and stanchions, filling the saloon and cabins with water, and doing other damage. The hen coops were washed adrift, and the port life boat smashed. A temporary wheel was at once rigged, the gale continuing for five days ; and on the 24th subsided. On'the 6th May, whea the vessel was in lat. 50 deg. S., long. 85 deg. 46 mm. E., encountered another violent storm, during which the vessel shipped a large quantities of water. At 4.45 p.m. the vessel was struck with a very heavy sea on the port beam, which smashed to pieces eleven stanchions, bulwarks, and rails from the fore to the after part of the main rigging, started the house from the deck, and did an immense amount of damage. A large quantity of water went below. All hands were set to work clearing away the wreck. The body of J. Moore, the second steward, was found lying on the deck on the lee side, with blood issuing from his ears and foaming at the mouth and nostrils. He was immediately carried into the cabin, and although every care and attention was given him, he expired in about an hour. On examination it was found that his skull was fractured. In clearing away the weather side, rthe body of Edward Day, a boy, was found jammed between the wind-stancheon, and mainmast. He was taken into the cabin, and it was found that the top of his skull had been smashed in. The two bodies were buried at eight o'clock in the evening. The vessel then pro ceeded on her voyage. Passed Tasmania on the 21st May, and Cape Maria Van Die man on Thursday last. Pabsengebb. —Mr. Thomas Bruce and wife, Mr. Thomas Bruce, junior, wife and child, Messrs. Haukness, Mr. Eraser, Mr. Henry Hartree, Mr. Robert Barker, Mr. William Wemyss, and twenty steerage passengers.

THE SHARE MARKET.

Mr. F. W. Stevens reports having sold Thames at £36 ; Alburnias, £14 ; Long Drives, £15 ; Otagos, £3; Tookey's, £25 and £26. The market is quiet. There is a demand for Tookeys, Thames, Albur nia, Bank, and Loan shares.

THEATRE ROYAL.

One of the largest assemblages that have been seen in the Theatre kloyal was present last night, to witness tho first representation of Mr. Utting's new drama, " The Great World of London." We have not space to criticise in full the play, or the manner of its performance, but are glad to be able to say that the affair was a complete success. There were some minor defects in the accessories to proper scenic effect, especially iv the court scene, somewhat marring the other wise satisfactory representation. The plot is well arranged, full of striking incidents, and excellently wrought out, and we can really congratulate the talented author on his first essay in the dramatic art. We sincerely trust it will not be the last of Mr. Utting's efforts at placing the mirror up to nature. The house was a bumper benefit to Mr. Joyce, who, as also the author, was called before the curtain to receive the plaudits of the spectators. The play will be re; produced to-night and lor some nights succeeding, and we do not hesitate to say that familiarity with jbe parts will present the play in a manner that will make it a decided favourite with play-goers.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

There was a very fair attendance last night at the Prince of Wales Iheatre, and the performance of the feats of legerder main, second sight, and the delightful chimings of the Bellringers afforded great satisfaction. To-night the entertainment will be varied ; and the announced acro batic feat having been prevented in public by the police, will take place within the Theatre.

The Kuranui crushing has given 149 ounces. The Prince Imperial crushing of 25 tons gave. I<6 ounces.

The %Golden Lion have not yet cleaned up ; they have a quantity of specimens still to crush. There is a splendid show of amalgam.

The Alburnia cleaning-up at the five-head battery is expected to give 800 ounces.

The Caledonian have a ton and a half of specimens on hand.

(From to-day.'s Advertiser.)

Thb What? CoMrAKV.—For several days past the.Whau mine has been turning out some excellent crushing stuff from the low level of the mine, where a rise is being put up on the reef. No rich specimens have been taken out, but in much of the Btone gold was freely visible. -The great drawback to the working of the mine hitherto has been the quantity of water which it makes, although even at present the lowest level is not as deep as that of the Alburnia.

The Middle Stlb.—The manager is sink ing a winze on the reef from the lower level of the mine, for the purpose of meeting the main tunnel which is to be put in from the Moanatairi Creek to intersect the lode of the Sons of Freedom mine. The winze is already down about 36 feet, and a good show of gold was obtaided yesterday from the winze.

The Albubnia.—This mine continued to produce stone of rare richness from the various workings yesterday, but especially from the lower level on the specimen lode. There were 2 cwt. of specimens taken out during the day. The crushing is turning out magnificently. There are about a ton of speci mens on hand.

The Pbince Impebial.—A crushing of 25 tons of stone from the Prince Imperial mine haß been completed, but the amalgam has not yet been retorted. There are 236 ozs. on hand, so that the yield will probably be over 2 ozs. to the ton.

The Caledonian.—More specimens were taken out yesterday morning, and the reef continues to look as rich as ever. It is expected that a large parcel will be taken out by the next shift. This company will during the next week employ no less than 67 head of stampers, as it is intended to have a part of the Criterion battery engaged on tbe general stuff.

The Poverty and Charleston. — The tribubers of the Poverty and Charleston have opened out a new leader in the upper level of the mine, from which, although it was only discovered this week, over one hundred weight of specimens have been taken out alrea iy. A shot put in yesterday discovered stone of very great richness, and, besides, a fine lot of specimens which were taken out at the time, left gold freely visible m the face. The leader runs E.N.E., and varies in thickness from a couple of inches to nearly a foot. It had been cut through un der the former management, but never opened out on. Ab.mt 50 lbs. weight of specimens were again taken out of this lode last evening.

To live sagaciously in this world—steering between the passions and greed of others— requires wisdom and goodness almost super natural.

" What's the price of this article ?" inquired a deaf old lady. " Seven shillings," said the draper. " Seventeen shillings !" she " ex claimed, " I'll give you thirteen." '* Seven shillings," replied the honest tradesman, " is the price of the article." " Oil! seven shillings," the lady sharply rejoined ; " I'll give you five!"

" Are the pictures which you brought home frDm Europe all landscapes ?" said an artist to Mrs. Shoddy one day. " Lord bless you, no," replied the indignant lady; " they're ile paintin's 2"

Many hava remarked that there is nothing new under the sun, but the extoaortinaft yield from the Caledonian mine is something that was never yet known of, and even that is nothing when compared to the handsome^ Jewellery now being made daily by F. H. Lewisson, Jeweller, Queen-street, from' the quartz-stone from that mine. There are ear rings, brooches, pins, studs, solitaires, sleeve links, &c, &c, &c. Many may think it impossible for them to be finished in Auck land, the articles being turned out in such first-class style, but having visited the green stone lapidary, as also the workshop where the gold work is done (where anyone can see for tbemsplves, should they feel so inclined), we cun assure the public that the goods turned out by F. H. Lewisson (opposite the Union Bank) are purely Colonial, and would not disgrace any first-class house in London. A look in the window will well repay anyone, as the-e is always something new to be seen and admired, and never the same goods two dais together. Advance New Zealand! New Zealand Herald.—[Aw?.'] By the invitation of F. H. Lewisson w» paid a visit to his faotory to inepeot som» articles now being finished. We were well repaid for our trouble, and had no idea of the perfection he has obtained in the working of auriferous quartz and greenstone into jewellery; also, a black stone found in Mari's Island, which, when cut and polished, surpasses the English jet. It may be as well to mention a few articles now being finished, under order for the outgoing mail, viz., a pair of black earrings and brooch ; a mosaic brooch made of light and dark gold-bearing quartz and greenstone, in the shape, of a star—a beautiful specimen of colonial workmanship ; a mosaic quartz and greenstone cross ; an an chor made of quartz and greenstone, for a gentleman's pin; a set of studs, sleevedinks, and collar-buttons to match ; quartz horseshoe \in the centre of a piece of greenstone; and several masonic emblems, composed of quartz and greenstone. These, when the gold mount ing is finished, will be worthy inspection, and we should advise anyone desirous of sending home elegant presents to pay a visit to F. H. Lewisson's establishment, opposite the Union Bank, Queen-street.— Daily Southern Cross. — [Advt.]

An inspection of Mr. F. H. Lewisson's shop, nearly opposite the Union Bank, Lower Queen street, will show what can be done in the manufacture of jewellery in Auckland. There rings, lockets, brooches, earrings, and other forms of jewellery, manufactured in Mr. Lewisson's shop in Albert-street, are spread out in tempting profusion, and are no less remarkable for their variety and originality, than for their tastefulness, and their very excel lent workmanship. We cannot undertake to describe here the various buds, leaves, plants,, flowers, and other things, formed out of gold, silver, quartz, greenstone, cornelian, kauri gum, and other materials selected for the purpose. They must be inspected, in order to their being appreciated, arid this they will be largely by the favourers of colonial industries. Mr. Lewisson's jewellery has, of course, to compete with the cheaply worked productions of Great Britain and the Continent of Europe, but from this it has nothing to fear. Its superior quality and greater durability will not only tend to its being largely worn here, but to its; being extensively exported. Those desiring to send presents home will find all they could wish in Mr. Lewisson's shop to select from. Many of the articles for inspection and sale are as unique as they are beautiful. Mr. Lewisson's investment of capital, spirit of enterprise, and artistic skill deserve all the countenance and support that can be accorded to him.— Evening 2N"ews. —[Advt.]
