THAMES GOLD MINING COM PANY.

la* our issue of yesterday, in giving a list of the shares in various claims held by the Thames Gold Mining Company,- we made a slight omission. We neglected to include 116 shares in the " Thames Gold Mining Company" itself, purchased in at £2 10s. per share, and now held by the company. These shares being now at a selling price of £35. This has been about as profitable an investment as any made by the directors. There is also a slight alteration to be made in the state ment of' the Eureka shares held, there being 899 of the new Eureka shares owned by the Thames Company. We reprint the corrected statement, and as we have found considerable interest to be felt in the information conveyed by us yesterday. we shall publish slips of the

CONCERT AT CITY HALL. The grand concert last niglit was peculiarly ill-suited in the ehnraeter of the weather, but the zeal of the public was not to be quenched by the " pluvial visitation," and, everything considered. there was an excellent attendance. The programme was admirably and effectively gone through, both amateurs and pro fessionals giving the utmost satisfaction. The third part of the programme consisted of the performance of the ISegro troupe, and con sidering that it was the first time the troupe were all together, the performance was very creditable. Owing to their not having had any {ji-aclice previous to goinjj on the stage, there were not so many comic JN regro songs as we should like to have heard. Bones, Tambo, and Mr. Johnson were remarkably good. Al together the concert was a great success.

VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE. The whole of the Volunteer forces of Auck land and the adjacent districts, are ordered to assemble in the J)oinain, oil the 2-lth instant, to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

Last night the usual weekly parade of the Auckland Rifle A roluntecrs too* placo at fche Drill-shed, in the presence of Major Gordon. Thero was a capital attendance, and the usual evolutions gono through on such occasions were performed most creditably.

The Evening Star. TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1871.

o^*E of the most painful cases that! have appeared in that place devoted to| the sius and sorrows of the people?" came up for review in the Police Court 7 to-day. A Mr. William Mantel, a] most respectable-looking mai/,appeared! in custody, arrested on warrant on the, information sworn by -^ne Williarw I .tyard, that he, Ma'teJ, had atol&if ! from him one ten-po^d and one fiv/ N pound note,'at KohPfama. MauiM had already stood a,t Vfi.bar vf*sfer day, when his appearance and manner were such as to show the improba 'ility of the charge. In. the absence of the prosecutor-, the case had been re manded, and Mantel having been in custody for two days, appeared again to-day in thp dock. The prosecutor Jy^iiii came forward, and with an Ifapology, stated that he had been mis taken, and had, since swearing the pin formation, discovered that the money aTI the time in his trousers pocket. BThfe scoundrel explained that he had I been in the habit of keeping the linoiiey in his waistcoat pocket, and lon not finding it there, had not || troubled farther to search his other I pockets, but had rushed into town and I sworn that Mantel had stolen it, and I got him arrested on warrant. We can |hai'dly conceive a more diabolical I offence,' and if the law cannot reach, |j and severely punish such trifling with I the liberty and character of another, I then we can only deplore the absence of the vigorous and summary action of Judge Lynch. A thorough thrashing, the marks of which he would bear to the end of his days, would be the most fitting requital to Meatyard for such culpable carelessness, and be the best quickener for his dull intellect. . But as the law will probably interpose, we trust that it will be shown capable of thoroughly reaching an offence that cannot but move general indignation. Mr. Mantel is known to a considerable number in the city as a man of thorough respectability and blameless character/ and the contrast between his appearance and. that of the low fellow that came forward as his accuser, was sufficiently marked to produce general commtnt. We do not hesi tate to say that it will afford exceed ing and general satisfaction to learn of the false accuser being consigned to the chipping of scoria for a con siderable time at Mount Eden.

In connection with the military review to take place in the Douiain an Wednesday next, the Queen's Birthday, we would direct attention to the fact that the various com panies will muster at ten o'clock on that day, at their respective private parade grounds, viz., tho Auckland Regiment of Rifle Volun teers in front of the Drill-shed, the Artillery and Navals at Port Britomarfc, and the Cavalry within the Albert Barrack Reserve, from which several places they will march to tho Domain.

ST. MATTHEW'S SCHOOL

Yesterday afternoon an examination of the pupils- of St. Matthew's school took place, This was the first examination of these scho-' lar3 since Mr. Andrews has been appointed. The Rev. Mr. Jones, Incumbent of rit. Mat thew's, occupied the chair, and acted as judge, assisted by Dr. Hooper. About 250 per sons were present, including the scholars, and the examination gone through was a very lengthy ami searching one, questions on every branch of knowledge being put to the pupils, and answered in the main with great correct ness,showing that the tuition of (he pupils had been most carefully conducted. In all,nineteen prizes were awarded. At the conclusion of the proceedings the chairman congratulated th parishioners upon the appointment of Mr. Andrews to the office of master of the school, left vacant by the resignation of Mr. Taylor. A teacher more fitted for the appointment could not have been obtained,and he paid Mr. And rews a very high compliment upon the manner in which the entire examination had been con ducted, and which was satisfactory alike to judges, parents, and teacher. The presenta tion of the prizes brought the proceedings to a close.

This estste has been the subject of various pro ceedings in bankruptcy extending over se veral years, and one or two common law actions have arisen out of claims made by the bankrup or the trustee of the estate, as for in stance the right to a sum of money given by Mr. Thomas Henderson, sen., which was contested at the Civil Sittings of the Circuit Court, nearly two years ago. The bankrupt was a member of the firm trading as Macfar lane and Co., and the accounts referred to were tho3e of the partnership, and extreme]v complicated. Several motions had been niadr on behalf of the bankrupt to expedite the completion of accounts, which arc made up, with the exception of one or two items, in rejpecL of which the bankrupt disputes the allegations of the debtors to the estate.—Affi davits were re;id, setting out the proceedings which had been taken, and the matter wL referred to the Provisional Trustee.

TREE PLANTING.

The Prairie Fanner very justly coinmem 7! the spirit that has seized the farmers of Illinois to plant forest trees. It is clearly a Provi dential instinct, for it has swept the counts like an epidemic. Every one asks ? " How man) trees hare you planted this y«ar ?" Not out in a hundred answers " None." At ever\ agricultural meeting menibers vie with eacii other in reporting the largest number and the greatest variety set out. They are mostly from seedj and.usually eight feet apart, to bY thinned out as they expand in dimensions Every one speaks of the increased retentive ness of- the soil for moisture, within the influence of their protection. Especially the\ attest their sheltering effect against the dessi eating and disagreeable winds that arc the great objection to life on the treeless prairies They lvport a notable improvement in health less ague and rheumatism, and less catarrha. disturbance. A few years ago, some leader of the movement planted trees as wind-brake? to their orchards and their dwellings. In everr instance these have worked wonders in giviup increased fruit-ages, exemption from spring frosts, and unspeakable comfort to the family and to the barn-yard. The saving of catib feed is found to be no small item ; for even protection from adverse weather enables stoci to thrive on less.fodder. Villages, which a few years ago wore a bare and cheerless look, art now assuming the sweet attraction of their old New England homes. It favorably affect* immigration. First impressions biro- driren m&ny a new comer from the prairies.' Sine the furor for tree planting, the repulsirenes* is fast being changed to attractiveness. Among the beneficial effects of the youug forest may be mentioned many permanently flowing springs, which had long ceased to run. and new ones not previously observed. Wt wish this tree-planting epidemic would extend to California. There are premonitory symp toms indicating that the contagion has reached our borders.— Rural Press.

An editor who was asked to respond to a toast to women, declined, on the grounds that woman was able to speak for hersolf, and any m»n who undertook to do it for her will get himself into trouble. Some of the fair sex hare hearts as brittle as glass. He that would make an impression must use diamonds. A master bade his servants go and see what time the sun dial indicated. " Why, sir " ex postulated the servant, "it is night."' " What does that matter, you goose, can't you take a candle? ■ SxckLENT Haib WASK.-Take one ounce of borax, half an ounce of camphor ; powder these ingredients fine, and dissolve them in one quart of boiling water ; when cool, the solution will be ready for use ; damp the hair frequently. This wash effectually cleanses beautifies, and strengthens the hair, preser ves the colour, and prevents early baldness The camphor will form into lumps after being d lS solved, but the water will be sufficiently impregnated. * Stains.—Salts of sorrel will remove from un der the nails the stains caused by paring apples &c.

SOAKERS.

Tiling 13 a habit which has become alarm ingly prevalent of late years in all 1^ society. It is practised by people of all aff6 / and, unfortunately, by persons of both S It consists in a perpetual draining of «S of brandy, or "two penn'orths" of gin • a ? d not UHfrequently, of glasses of sherry an d * port. The beer tippler indulges in a cheaper but not xn the Jong run, I l ess S hquor-for the deleterioas effects of beer upo' S'-SSTpSf 1 are almosfc as Bad as «2 he 8 J ZZI I neCeßßity- J ea ' coffeerc^a and hJ^TTT 61*, these habxts lead to early death, and-the huiband and the father who started life full of eood intentions and possessed of a hopeful prospect is shovelled away to the worms, who LaSfc we know may be made drunk as they feed on his reeking carcase. Anyone who is accustom ed to mix m large societies of men, cannot fail to become aware of the sad havoc made by drmk amongst their number. A large per centage of the deaths that take place in iu C h associations may be traced either directly or indirectly to drunkenness. With some men, however, hard drinking really appears to agree most thoroughly. If it be in teed poison, it is so slow in its opera tion that many years of soaking seem rather to improve the soaker than otherwise. People cnn actually live on gin, and some positively do so ', but it is at best a very dangeroua experiment to try, for thousands where one survive?. If it fail to kill quickly, the habit of soaking tends to induce excessive nervousness, or it produces softening of the brain, and this renders him fit only for the madhouse. Nor, unhappily, is soaking confined to men. Although more revolting iv a woman, it is by no means rare in proportion to its detestability. Women who drink are the worst of drunkards, and the feminine soaker is one of the most pitiable sights under heaven. How often, even in respectable society, so-called, do we find the " ladies" of the household addicted i o this vice. Their husbands and families en leavour, successfully, as they believe, but generally in vain, to conceal the unwelcome propensity. The usual indications of soaking ire explained away by all sorts of ingenious inventions, but all these are valueless again&t the " odour" with which the unhappy woman' s determined to strike the nostrils. In such cases the practice, is incapable of any but the iimsiest disguise, and will "always, sooner or Inter, betray itself beyond the power of con cealment. There is a point, very frequently reached, at which soaking becomes a disease—when the soaker is unable to control his appetite ; when •egardless of all consequences, he flies to the old stimulent; and when his business, his cha racter, and his life are placed in jeopardy by bis vicious practices. Delirium tremens disposes of thousands of these " miserabJes," though in i very horrible way. The death of a man uffering from this disease is one of the most horrible sights that can be conceived. The -tarting eyeballs, the distended nostrils, the listorted mouth, the clenched fingers, the ttorror-striken visage, all tell a fearful tale of the terrible aspect which the last enemy has wrne. The countenance of a man so dying, never relaxes even long after death, and is borne to his grave stamped with the terror that has hurried him from life to deati. [usanity overtakes thousands of these pitable soakers, and they are carried out of the sight of men to fret and pine away the miserable remnant of their lives withiu the walls of, * ■ madhouse. If, perchance, they recover, the / rembling hand, the unsteady fingers, and ths shambling gait, proclaim what ghosts of their ormer selves they are become, and indicate 1 iow soon their journey will be over.—Man chester Free Lance.
