The Evening Star. SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1871.

"WnETiiEit for good or evil the city of Auckland has already been invested with Corporate honours. The " news paper rumour" about the proclama' tion has been true, and the gazette has arrived bringing the Municipal Cor poratiens Act of 1867 into force in this city. We do not hesitate to say that the Act will be productive of good, and that the enlarged powers of our civic authority will be used to advance the interests of the citizens. A strong desire was manifested that the personnel of the late City Board should at least pass under the review of citizens, although it is generally believed that the greater part of the members would have been elected to the new Council. How ever, this has not come to pass, and the late Commissioners, and now Councillors, will have an opportunity of showing the elevating influence effected by transition from the City Board to the Municipal Council. The first duty to be performed by the new body, in accordance with section 130 of the Act, will be the election of Mayor; but as the whole body of Commissioners has been transformed by the Act into Municipal Councillors, we do not suppose they will be un gracious enough to leave their chair man out in the cold. Mr. Philips has been the chief agent in all the tnove mentsthathave led to the establishment of the new order of things, and his ex clusion from the office, which owes its existence to his perseveringefforts would be a- modern illustration of the old complaint, sic vos non volis. We have incidentally heard that there has been some agitation respecting the appoint ment, but we could not regard it as other than one of the most unbecom ing acts with which the Council will inaugurate its new existence, if the very man who first agitated and care fully watched the progress of the petition until it resulted in his Ex cellency's proclamation should be summarily excluded by the first meet ing of the new institution. Such things do occur, and it is this absence of a desire to appreciate and reward the acts of public men that damns public spirit. There are others who take a more pretenti ous position among their fellow citizens, but for patient and unflag ging attention to the interests of the city, for defence of those interests through good report and bad report, Mr. Philips has no equal in the city. And whatever may be the selection in subsequent years, when it may be deemed necessary that the Mayor should be in a position to receive princes, and keep up the dignity of a nabob, it will be most becoming in the Council to take their late chair man with them to share their new honors, instead of making some more ambitious selection, the consequences of which may be all unknown.

SHARE EXCITEMENT.

The excitement to-day at the corner has been extraordinary. We are not justified, in describing it as a script mania, as the excitement is caused by real returns. To-day the Alburnia especially has been the cause of the furore, the shares which but a few days ago were at £2 5s Od, are to-day held for £12, being sold /reely a little under that price. We only hope that this excitement may not lead to evil. For so far it appears justified ; but if this excitement continues there must come a time for grief.

THE SHARE MARKET

Mr. J. Newman reports: Caledonian £190; Red Queen," 10s ; City of Dun edin, £6; Thames, £35, £38. £39 10s • Alburnia, £11; Kelly, £5 r Tookey, £20 5s ; Shotover, 10s ; Moanatairi, £4;' Prince Imperial, £5 ; Belfast, £6 • Wbau, 60s to 70s. Mr. J. T. G-arlick reports as fol lows : Caledonian, £185, £190, £195, £197 10s ; Thames, £39; Central Italy 30s ; Eureka Hill, £3 2s 6d ; Eed Queen, 11s; Belfast, £6 10s'; Middle Star, £5 ; Kelly, £5 2s 6d ; Golden Calf, 30s,

Wo are exceedingly gratified to see the success that lias so far attended Mr. Jen kins's plans for the lighting of the town clock. One face, the southern, was last Might lighted up with excellent effect, although it is not till Monday night that the performance is to be considered on its trial. As there are several alterations to be effected there will be no lighting-up to-night, but after the report on the appearance of the southern face of the clock on Monday night, probably Mr. Jenkins will be instructed to proceed with the two other faces.

THE CENTRAL ITALY G. M. CO* —SETTLEMENT OF THE JUMP ING CASE.

The extraordinary general meeting convened for the purpose of determining the disposal of forfeited shares was held on Thursday last. On the motion of Mr. Russell, Mr. Sandes again took the chair, and opened the business of the meeting. Mr. Kussoll said he had supposed the directors would be'prepared with some proposition with regard to the business, of the meeting, but as that was not the case, and he was anxious to go away to Auckland, and all eyes were turned on him for some explanation, he would make a short one. He might say, at the outset, that in all the steps he had taken with regard to the ground, it had not been with him a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence. It was not for the sake of recovering the shares, but to establish his right, and steps were taken while he was smart ing under a sense of injury. He wished to disclaim any personal feeling in the matter. When he took these steps he did not know the class of gentlemen who were shareholders in the Central Italy. Except one or two, he did not even know the direc tors until last night. But he felt himself aggrieved. He was one of the earliest, and, he believed, the largest shareholder in the company, and as such would have to pay a large proportion of the calls. He was also a shareholder in every claim along that line of reef from the Cure to the Hand-in-Hand, and as such he was naturally anxious that the reef should be prospected in' the cheapest manner possible. From the source of information at his disposal he came to the conclusion that it would be best to put in a main tunnel from the Hauraki battery. By doing so large sums of money wpuld be saved. He communicated with the shareholders of several companies, and laid the matter especially before the legal manager of the Central Italy, who was also manager of the Cure, and several other companies. Encouraged by him, and through him by the directors of several companies, he instructed Mr. Wright to survey the claim and make a plan, a copy of which he held in his hand. When he sent the plan to the directors of the Central Italy, fie message brought back to him was that they were obliged to him for the plan, but they could not contribute anything towards its expense, although the preparation of it had cost him (Mr. Russell) ten guineas. He in conjunction with others of the largest share holders, met and sent in a requisition to the directors on the subject, but the reply re ceived was to the effect that they could not ses their way to do as was required. All thit was then left open was to prosecute the worlis expensively by separate workings, and he warned them that he would resist the collec tion of calls. He never remoicd his name from the register, but boldly challenged them to come on. A negotiation followed, and he offered to give up his shares provided he was relieved from his liabilities. Ho had an answer from the company that they would do as he required, but nothing was done. He received a notice of forfeiture, which, unfortunately, he overlooked at the time, and during his absence in the Southern pro vinces his shares wore forfeited. Ho wrote to the director?, asking to be reinstated in his shares, but did not receive a favourable reply. Now he wished to say that had he known the shareholders he would not have been a party to the steps that hud been taken. He would not have appealed to the law, but would have come (o this meeting and asked 'or his shares. As it was, ho had given instructions to with draw all legal proceedings, aud would now leave the matter of the return or non-return of the shares in the hands of the meeting.—Mr. Hicks said he thought that the directors or legal inannger should now make a statement, and if they did not do so for his part he would feel bound to think Mr. Russell was right.— Mr. J. Good all said that he, not being one of the old directors, was not acquainted with all the facts. He had never heard of the plan alluded to by Mr. Russell. It was one he would like to sec adopted. He was acting on the board of the Kuranui Hill Tunnel Com pany. The present plan was similar, and was instigated by Mr. Russell at considerable ex pense. He was a party to the forfeiture of the shares, but he did not then know that Mr. Russell was trying to carry out sucli a scheme ; but being a director, and acting in the interests of the company, he said that Mr. Russell's shares must- be forfeited, as well ns others, for non-payment of calls. On Mr. Russell's returning from the South lie spoke to him (Mr. Goodall) with reference to re storing the shares, and he said he would submit it to the directors, which he did. Their legal adviVer had, however, told them that although the directors had power to forfeit shares, they had no power to deal with them. For that reason the meeting was called, and he hoped they #would take the responsibility off the directors by settling the matter one way or the other. Mr. Russell had , explained that he was misguided. He would be loth to go to law, but he would like to see whether ground liko that held by the company could be jumped or not. He wished, as a speculator, to see proper security. He had taken up some leases, which he hoped to float, perhaps in a foreign market, and any insecurity of title would hurt him and others. The seizing of the Central Italy, if it had no other effect, would compel the Government to afford means to secure property. He was, as a di rector, prepared to go on with the litigation arising out of the question, but he could not now advise them to go on with a case which Mr.Burt had dropped.—Mr.Burtasked howfar the others, whose shares bad been forfeited, were acting with Mr. Russell with regard to opposing the payment of calls.—Mr. Russell said he could only answer for one or two, but if the meeting would take a suggestion from him, he would advise that they should either keep the whole of the forfeited shares or re store the whole.—The Chairman entered into an explanation with regard to the statements made by Mr. Russell. He said lie was one of the oldest directors in the company, and no such proposition as that alluded to by Mr. Ritssell was ever laid before the directors.— Mr. Russell said that he placed the plan at the disposa7 of the directors through the legal manager, Mr. Sfcyak.— The Chairman con tinued to gay that as an individual, when he heard of the plan, he heartily approved of it, and advocated it strongly, but could not get others to agree with him. The requisition signed by Mr. Russell and other .shareholders had never come before the directors, and he ventured to say that if it had an unfavourable reply would not have been returned.—Mr.

Pratt asked Mr. Russell whether the whole of" the proceedings were stopped P Ifc ap peared to him that if Mr. Eussell could jump the ground to-day, anybody else might do the same to-morrow. He wanted to know if the company's title was secure P—Mr. Eussell said that as far as he was concerned it was. He did not think any difficulty would arise about the title.—Mr. Shepherd then proposed that in con sideration of the legal proceedings on both, sides being forthwith stayed, be it resolved that the forfeited shares be restored to the original owners on payment, within fourteen days of calls due thereon, together with all legal ex penses incurred in relation to those shares, and the recent litigation.—Mr; Pratt seconded tke resolution. —Mr. Nixon proposed an amendment, that all forfeited shares be divided pro rata amongst the shareholders. — Mr. Fauvell seconded the amendment.—The amendment was put to the meeting, and was carried by a majority of one on the show of hands, but a poll being demanded by Mr. Hannaford, it was found that there was a very large majority against the amendment, for which the total number of &hares recorded as votes was 336, while two of the shareholders who recorded their votes against the amend ment numbered 485. The original motion was then put to the meeting and carried with out opposition, when the meeting terminated. — Advertiser.

MATCH AGAINST TIME.

A WAI/KING- match against time came off yesterday, tho walker being Mr. Gwynne, of the Junction Hotel, Newmarket, and "the dis tance being eighteen miles, which was to be accomplished in three hours. The course was from the Junction Hotel to Otahuhu, from thence to Somerville's corner,* Auckland, and back again to the Junction. Hotel. A considerable number of persona assembled to see the start, which was to have been made at 2 o'clock but in consequence of Mr. G-wynne being ready before that time, it was made a few minutes earlier. The first mile from the Junc tion towards Otahuhu was done in nine minutes and fifty-five seconds, the second in nine minutes, and the third in ten minutes twenty seconds. After this, the walking was very even/ both to Otahuhu and back to the Junc tion. Sotnerville's Corner was reached at half past four o'clock, by which time Mr. G-wynne appeared to be thoroughly fagged, but he kept up the pace, nevertheless, and the last mile was done in nine miautes and twenty seconds. The whole distance was walked in three hours nine minutes aud twenty seconds, so that Mr. G-wynne succeeded in walking seventeen miles in the three hours. Just as the three liours had expired, he was opposite to the Captaiu Cook Hotel, in the Kyber Pass Eoad. For the first twelve miles of the match Mr. Harry Williams acted for Mr. G-wynne, and for the last six miles Mr. Edwardes performed the duties of second,—following; him up, spunging him, &c. Had the road been a level one the entire distance, the result would, probably, have been very different; but what with the newly metalled road towards Otahuhu, aud the number of hills which Mr. Ghvynne had to climb, it made tho task an exceedingly diffi cult one. Great interest was taken in the proceedings, large numbers of people following on foot behind the pedestrian, as well as numerous carts laden witli passengers, and many equestrians. At the conclusion of the match Mr. Gwynne appeared to be thoroughly exhausted, and was carried into the hotel amid loud cheers, it being universally ad mitted that he was game to the backbone, Bnd good for the accomplishment of any reasonable amount of walking in a given time. The stakes will be paid at the Occidental Hotel this evening.

TAURANGA.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

[fkoii the " hebald's" coeeesponbent.j (Before Colonel Moule, R.M., Messrs. H. T. Clarke, and B. M. Edgeconibe, Justices.) May 11. Beeach of Asms Act. — Charles Harley, publican, of KatiUati, was charged with selling ammunition to natives. The offence was the sale of a powder flask, a bag of shot, and some powder, for which tlie sum of £3 was paid. Suspicion had existed previous to the arrest of the prisoner, and his premises had been searched, but nothing found to criminate him. On a more recent search, ammunition was found—produced in Court —considerably in excess of his militia allowance. There were also found two double-barrelled fowling pieces, a horse pistol, a Kerr's revolver and case, together with bullet moulds and ammu nition for the same. The criminating testi mony was that of several natives, who de posed to the actual sale of the powder. —Detective Doolan, from Auckland, proved the apprehension of the accused. The cuse lasted nearly the whole day, being protracted by the necessity for trans lating the native depositions, and, at the close, the prisoner was fully committed for trial. Bail was to have been allowed, himself for £400, and two sureties for £200. Being unable to procure bail, he was removed in custody, remai-king that he had not two friends in the district. He will, probably, go up in charge of Doolan, the detective, in the Tauranga, this evening. It is rumoured that Colonel Moule is to have the vacant post of Mr. Brannigan. Everybody here would be very sorry if this should be the case; for, in his judicial capa city, Colonel Moule has been rigidly impartial and painstaking. He has been at all times assessible, —everyone desirous of consulting him ; and, as the officer commanding the dis trict, he is singularly popular, and more than one individual here can, and would, cheerfully testify to his kindly and obliging disposition.

A call of one shilling per share has been made in the Otago Gold Mining Company. The anniversary services in connection with the Grafton Eoad Wesleyau Sunday School will take place to-morrow. A public meeting wdl be held on Wednesday next.

It is rumoured that Colonel Moule is to appointed to the vacant post of Commissioner of Police, lately occupied by Mr. St. John Brannigan.

Wednesday next being Her Majesty's Birth day, there will be no business in the Law Court. Banco business will be taken either on Tuesday or the Friday following. The usual sitting in bankruptcy will be held on Thursday.
