The Evening Star. FRIDA Y, JANUARY 6, 1871.

A man named J. C. Lane, recently from Auckland, jumped overboai'd from the steamer Morpeth, on the 27th ult. and was drowned. The barque Kate has sailed from Sydney for this port *with a full cai-go. A panorama of the principal incidents in the works of Charles Dickens has been painted by Charles Massey, and is being exhibited in Dunedin, where it is being lectured on by Mr. R. P. Whitworth, formerly of the Daily Times staff. Three deaths from scarlatina happened on board tbe ship Robert Henderson, which has arrived at Port Chalmers. Eight deaths under five years of age occurred altogether. The ve.-sel had been placed in quarantine, and the passengers removed to the Quaran tine Island. The inter-provincial cricket match between Otago and Canterbury is expected to take place in Christchnrch on January 23rd, 24th, and 25th. We deaire to -draw the attention of intend ing purchasers to the fact that Mr. Cochrane's extensive sale of household furniture advertised for to-day is, owing to the inclemency of the weather, postponed till to-morrow. The p.s. Duke of Edinburgh will leave for the Thames this evening, at 10 o'olock. We are informed that a requisition is in course of signature, asking the Provincial Secretary (Mr. H. H. Lusk) to become a candidate for the representation of Parnell, in the House of Representatives. It is un derstood that Mr. Lusk will not decline the requisition, which is very numerously signed. The Christian Times for this month, just published, contains a great deal of interesting and useful reading ; and from the manner in which it is conducted, its freedom from sec tarian narrow-mindedness, and the thoroughly readable nature of its contents, this publica tion seems to have now thoroughly established* itself as a public favourite. The company at the Theatre Royal has been rehearsing for the performance to be given under the direction of the Hon. Elliott Yorke, to-morrow evening. But, on con sideration, Herr Bandmann and the lessee thought it better to take the company to the Prince of Wales Theatre, on account of the greater size of the building, where the perfor mance will accordingly take place to-morrow evening. No doubt the local charity to be benefitted will derive advantage from the change of place. We have learned that another death has re sulted from cholera, of, we suppose, the Eng lish type, a Mrs. Gunson having died this fore noon, in Nelson-street, at 11 o'clock. Mr. Swan has announced himself as a can di late for the Thames district in the General Assembly. Tho important sale of household furniture, Sec, at the residence of Air. D. B. Thornton, who is leaving for England, will take place on Monday and Tuesday next. Wo learn, by a letter received from Ohine muri yesterday, that the opinions of the natives in that district, are that war in the Waikato is inevitable. So far as Ohinemuri is concerned it will in all probability remain neutral, as before.

THE JAPANESE TROUPE.

Thebb was an excellent house at the City Hall yesterday evening, and the singular performance of this wonderful company were received with the greatest satisfac tion. The entertainment will be con tinued to-night as usual, and to-morrow there will be a grand daylight perform ance at 2 p.m.

THEATRE ROYAL.

Here and Mrs. Bandmann appearing last night in "Hamlet," drew, as might have been anticipated, a very full house. To-night being for the benefit of_ Mrs. Bandmann, who has won golden opinions in Auckland as a finished actress, and being the last appearance of these dis tinguished artistes prior to leaving to morrow for Honolulu, we have no doubt that even the inclemency of the weather will not debar the public from crowding to see their magnificent impersonations.

THE GALATEA CONCERT.

The concert given again on last even ing, by His Royal Highness and the officers and men of the Galatea, was like that of the previous evening, an exceed ingly successful one. There was a large attendance; the performance of the Prince himself and of hi* gallant shipmates were received with unbounded applause, and a very handsome sum resulted for the bene fit of the " Home for Destitute Children." It must be admitted that the Prince is winnmg golden opinions by his action with reference to our charities ; and Auckland should know that in this it has received uuusual .consideration. And in tho genuine feelings which such actions must excite in a community, even a prince must feel more satisfaction than in the sycooliancy with which people so often prostrate themselves before royalty.

MOONLIGHT CONCERT.

It is to be feared that the inhospitable weather will operate against the intended Moonlight Concert to-morrow evening, in the Albert Barrack reserve. It was intended as a benefit to the Orphan Home, and the Home for Destitute Chil dren, and is under the patronage of His Uoyal Highness the Duke of Kdinburgh, whose name is on the programme as a performer, and whose band from the Ga latea is intended to take part in the per formance. We earnestly hope that the weather will clear up, so as not to neces sitate the postponement of what, at such prices, would be doubtless a treat to many thousands.

POLICE COURT.—Thursday.

[Before Dr. Home and Captain Wynyard, Justices 3 Assault.—Edward Nolan was charged by B. Delapiani with haviug violently assaulted him at the North Shore on the 27th December last, by striking him on the head with a stick. Mr. Joy for the prosecution, Mr. Rees for the defence.—B. Delapiani deposed that he .had had a civil summons to serve on Captain Nolan. Had tried for two months in vain to serve. On Boxing-day he went to the Lake, and having the summons in his pocket, when he saw Captain Nolan, who had a large stick in his hand. He was'afraid to go to him, and took Mr. Leaning with him as a witness. Nolan lifted the stick and threatened to knock witness's scalp off, calling him a per jurer and informer. On serving the summons Nolan threw .the summons back at him, and struck him on the left eye with the big stick. Witness fled from the crowd, which had • taken Nolan's side, and raised a small cane to defend his head.—Cross-examined by Mr. Rees. —Charles Lindgran, deposed to the facts preceding ihe assault, and continued : The blows were struck-, by both parties, but who struck the blow first I could not say. I saw blows struck by both parties. I saw I lelapiani't stick bi-oken.—Cross-examined by Mr. Rees.— This concluded the case for the prosecution.— Patrick Nolan (a, little boy) deposed :I am no relation to defendant. I saw defendant, his daughter, on tha beach. Delapiani crossed them there. They then went up to the tent. Dellapiani gave him a paper. Then Dela piani went a few steps away ; then came back and struck Captain Nplan. I w*3 about a yard from the Captain, who did not strike Delapiani before this. lam perfeotly certain

about this. The butt produced was broken off Delapiani's stick by the third stroke ov the Captain's head. The handle was bloody when I picked it up. Then Delapiani dragged the Captain down on the stones, and struck him, and put his knee on the Captain s chest, aud said by , I wish I had my km c here. A young man then d-aggedhmi off, and Delapiani' struck him on the head with his stick, and stunned him. The crowd then attacked Delapiani. Delapiani then ran up among the women, and asked them to have mercy on him and protect him. —He was cross-examined by Mr. Joy, and his state ments wavered considerably.—Annie Nolan deposed : After passing and repassing us on the beach, Delapiani came up after us, and gave my father a summons. Dellapiani turned round two or three steps to go, but turned round and gave my father three suc cessive blows on the head with the butt end of his cane. Me then dragged father down by the hair of the head on the rocks. I screamed, and people gathered round, and said it was murder. My father did not strike Delapiani. I a-n perfectly certain of this, for my father had sprained his arm some months ago, and was not well.—Cross examined by Mr. Joy.—The case was dis missed.

Friday.

[Before G. P. Pierce, Esq., J .P.] Drunkenness. —John Roach was fined ss. and costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours with hard labour. , Assault. —Michael Burke was charged with having committed a violent assault with an iron bar on R.

THE MURDER AT THE GREY.—THE WOMAN COMMITTED. EIGHT DEATHS ON BOARD THE ' ROBERT HENDERSON,' FROM GLASGOW. EARTHQUAKE AT NELSON. MURDER AT LYTTELTON. The s.s. Phcebe arrived in the Manukau this morning, bringing later papers from the South. We clip the following from our exchauges :— NAPIER. December 31.—The firing on Thursday has been decided to be informal ; the competition, therefore, took place to-day. Two represen tatives will be sent from the province Renouf scored 45, and Chicken 41 ; both belong to the Napier Rifle Volunteers.

NELSON.

Jan. 2.—A smart shock of an earthquake was felt on Saturday at about twenty minutes after midnight.

CHRISTCHURCH.

Jan. 2.—An inquest was held on the 30th inst., at Akaroa, on the body of Thomas Gro gau, killed in a drunken quarrel at Le Bon Bay. A verdict of -wilful murder was re turned against George Hall and David Wright. —Tne volunteer encampment at Summer com menced on Saturday. 300 volunteers at tended. Colonel Harrington reviewed them to-day, and a sham fight took place afterwards.

Mubdee AT the Grey.—A few days ago a man named George Patenaude was murdered at Noble's, by a woman named Margaret Quigley, a shanty keeper. The man had broken into her bedroom on the previous night, and, returning next day, used coarse liberties, which she would not allow. She was using a knife at the time', and ran out; he followed, and on the impulse of passion she ran it into his side. He died in ten minutes. The verdict was " wilful murder," and she was committed for trial on the Coroner's warrant. —Nelson Colonist.

We ( Wellington Post) learn from the Dun edin papers that the Robert Henderson, from Glasgow, arrived at Port Chalmers on the 23rd inst. Scarlatina had broken out on the passage and eight deaths had taken place. Several out of the 106 remaining passengers were suffering from the fever when they arrived in port. The vessel was immediately placed in quarantine, and it was determined to land the passengers on Quarantine Island, to have their clothes and luggage washed and fumigated, and to have the ship thoroughly cleansed before coining to her anchorage in porr. The Board of Health visited the quarantine station, where, says the Evening Star, "they witnessed a scene of neglect and dilapidation in the buildings that reflects the deepest disgrace upon the- Executive. The person who lives on the island to take care of the buildings had a row of tubs on the floor of the building to catch the water as it fell through the roof into the apartment. The hospital was a thorough fare for the wind through openings iv the walls ; aud off the roof of one of the buildings were two sheets of iron, thus leaving a large portion of it uncovered. So complete appeared the wreck that the health officer demurred to removing the passengers,*undev the apprehen sion that the buildings could not be made habitable.

Fall oca Meteob.—A remarkable pheno menon was witnessed on Sunday evening last, when about half-past eight o'clock a most, brilliant meteor passed across the heavens in a direction a point or two N.E. to S E., at a low elevation, aud, disappearing in fragments, burst wiih a loud report, the sound of which reached the earth in about four minutes. The appearance of the phenomenon a3 it shot along, apparently but little above tho earth, is variously described, for while some speak of it, as reseaibling a comet with a head as laive as the rr.ojn, and having a streaming tail, others liken it to a large eel, and beiug pretty nearly of equal bulk throughout, its whole length. The optical deception it caused to those who saw it burst and disappear,is not a-little extraordinai'y. As far as we can

learn, all who were so fortunate as to have, seen it, whether from the western side ol Blind Bar, or the western side of Cloudy Bay, agree that it fell to the eastwMfl of them, and but a short distance from wliere they stood. To persons in Waimea-west, the fragments, when the meteor burst, appeared to drop into a neighbouring field of oats ; persons who saw it from the Waimca-road were fully conscious it fell on the neighbouring hills ; while irom the telegraph station, in White's Bay, came a report that the fragments disappeared m tbe sea Th-s proves that, notwithstanding its apparent proximity to the earth, the meteor was at a considerable distance, and which is further proved by the time that elapsed be tween its bursting and the report being heard, giving it about sixty miles. It will be in teresting to learn over what extent of country the meteor was seen, and its appearance m the more southern parts of the colony.— Nelson Examiner, January 4.
