The Evening Star. THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1871.

As will be seen from another column, a new establishment, really a very pretty and at tractive one, has just been opened in Queen street, opposite the Bank of New Zealand, for the sale of the most delicious of all delicacies —good fruit. It is in the hands of the pro prietor of the " Fijian House," on the Queen street Wharf, and a glance at the array of tempting wares, so tastefully disposed, is quite sufficient to produce that state of sensuous delight, described by the American reporter as "the mouth gushing jvith the watesr <f delightful anticipation." In common with all our local contempora ries, we were in error in yesterday announcing the arrival of the Alexandria. No other ship being expected, and that vessel being now fully due, the signal from the Flagstaff Hill, at North Shore, announcing a ship in sight, was naturally supposed to indicate the Alexandria. She may, however, at any time be expected. In another column will bo seen the an nouncement that the annual meeting of the Auckland Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society will take place to-morrow even ing, at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association, in Wellesley-street. It is need less to urge one word iv advocacy of the cause of such an institution, or of the duty of sup porting it, both by attendance at the meeting and by more substantial aid. As usual, a largo amount of most interesting statistics and general information regarding the opera tions of the society, will be submitted, which cannot fail to afford satisfaction to all those who wish for the best interests of humanity, and believe them to be best secured by the knowledge and the influence of Bible truth

The third of the series of literary and scientific readings at the Preparatory School, Hobson-street, will take place this evening, when a number of gentlemen will take part in the delivery of the following series of read ings :— Reading, "The Bridge of Sighs;" Reading, " Hans Breitman's Party j" Reading, "The Three Oddities" (by Thomas Hood) ; Reading, " The Miss Nomers;" Reading, " Early Rising;" Recitation, " The Heritage;" Reading, "The Combat" (Ivanhqe) ; Reading, "The Monk;" Recitation, "Paten and Dowlas ;" Reading, " Morning Visits."

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Union Literary Society takes place this evening, at half-past 7 o'clock, at the rooms, Wellesley -Btreet, when a paper Ivill be read by Mr. Eastwood, on " Poetry : its moral and social influence."

VOLUNTEER MATTERS.

The adjourned meeting of persons favorable to the formation of a Volunteer Commissariat Corps was held last evening, at the Belfast Hotel. It will be remembered that the meet ing of the 27th ultimo resulted in the appoint ment of a committee to draw up a form of ap plication to the Government to accept the services of the corps. About twenty were present, and Mr. F. H. Ibbetson, late Assist ant Commissary-General, was moved into the chair. Mr. R. Payne, jun., having been appointed secretary, the minutes of last meet ing were read and adopted, after which the chairman laid before the meeting a form, showing the plan on which it was desired the service of the corps should be accepted. No provision had been made in the Volunteer Act for the acceptance of the services of a Commissariat Corps, but it was competent to the Governor to enlarge the regulations, so as to embrace a corps of the kind. This application was adopted by the meeting, and some additional signatures were appended to the memorial, after which it was settled that it should be left in the hands of the committee, who should forward it to the Government'when a sufficient number of signature had beerf obtained ; and the meeting adjourned until recalled by ad vertisement from the secretary. -. * After the monthly inspection of tke Artillery Volunteers on Tuesday, Bandmaster Curry was presented with a very handsomd „ silver mounted huton; the gift "of Lieut. fe%acs. Major Gordon complimented the band \imon the proficiency which it 'in.h attained, find said that, as it was now the only one in Auck land, the members must use their utmost en deavours to become as perfect as possible. Petty Officer Wells, of No. 1 Company Naval Volunteers, has been unanimously elected as Lieutenant of the Company. The members of this Company will meet for drill this evening, at Port Britomart.

ARRIVAL OF THE 'MERLIN,' FROM TAURANGA.

SELLING ARMS AND AMMUNI TION TO THE NATIVES. NARROW E&CArE OP THE ' HAZARD.'

THE 'NEVADA' AT NAPIER.

The smart schooner Merlin arrived in harbour this merning from Tauranga. We learn from Captain Moller that a telegram was received at Tauranga on Sunday, announcing the arrival of the Phcebe with the English telegrams at Nel son on Saturday afternoon, and the Ne vada at Napier late on Saturday night. The p.s. Luna, from Auckland, arrived at Tauranga at G p.m. on Saturday last, and left again at 6 o'clock on Monday morning for the East Coast. The cutter Mary Eliza left Tauranga for Auckland via Wangamata on Tues day. A man named Hurley has been appre hended at Tauranga for selling arms and ammunition to the natives at Katalcata. Hurley is now imprisoned at Tauranga. and will be brought up by the next boat, to be tried at the Supreme Court. The cutler Hazard has had a narrow escape from being wrecked. She got too close in-shore, and was obliged to run in over the bar. When crossing, a heavy sea swept over her, washing the master from the wheel to the nose of the vessel, where he managed to save himself by clinging to a rope.

He did so, and under this authority sold the land to a Mr. Eastwood, made out the sa'e nole, and did all that was necessary, and defendant afterwards confirmed the salij. Defendant, On oath, deposed that he never gave plaintiff permission to sell his acre. He told him if he knew of a purchaser lie would be obliged if plaintiff would send him. Mr. Aitken, in Auckland, had his authority to sell, and when the land was sold he told them distinctly he could not make a hargain t'll he had seen Mr. Aitken. Judgment for plaintiff, with costs.

SUPREME COURT.—Bankruptcy.

THURSDAY, RfAY 11, | [Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Knight, Chief Justice.] . The usual weekly sitting in Bankruptcy was held this morning, when the. following cases were heard:— Re Edward Marsh Williams.—Mr. James Russell appeared for the bankrupt, who was unopposed.—The bankrupt was a magistrate in the Bay of Islands district, and became involved in litigation in consequence of a decision given upon wliat was known at the time as the " Hokiauga grog-selling case." On the 28th July his assets were £1293 17s. lid., and the liabilities £1178. But to the verdict against him, £500, the costs of maintaining the action, and travelling expenses, was to be attributed the bank ruptcy. The petitioner passed his last exami nation, and was discharged. Re Albert Eaton : Deed of Arrange ment.—This was an application by Mr. Brookfield for a declaration of complete execu tion of a deed of arrangement, by which the arranging debtor undertook to pay half-a crown in the pound. All the formalities pre scribed by the Statute had been complied with, except the filing the affidavit of resi dence.—His Honor made the necessary order, subject to the filing of the affidavit of residence. Re William Swtnton Laurie.—Mr. Mac- Cormick appeared to examine.—Mr. Hesketh was counsel for the bankrupt.—The case was part heard before the vacation. The exami-. nation by Mr. MacCormick had been con cluded, and the examination by Mr. Hesketh had been commenced. The ca?e stood ad journed to the 4th of May, but was further adjourned to this morning.—Mr. MacCormick said he was instructed to examine on the last occasion with respect to ihe mortgage. The Bank of New Zealand were now perfectly satisfied of the bona fides of that transaction. —His Honor: You mean the mortgage to the mother. I must say that the lady's evidence and her great respectability struck me with the conviction that she was merely a mother who was assisting her son to the extent of her little means. She entered upon the transac tion, I think, with the folc object of assisting her son, and, I may say, I thiuk it was a transaction which she ought not to have been led into. It L», I think, to be regretted (hat persons will enter into trade with little capital except what is represented by transac tions of the kind. I myself have no doubt about the bona fides of the transaction itself. —Mr. MacCormiekJsaid if he should find it necessary to oppose the bankrupt's immediate discharge, it would be on the ground of trad ing with insufficient capital, and what might, appear from the result of the examination in respect to the bill transactions.—Examina tion resumed by Mr. Hesketh: The last bill examined about was that for £472 133. lOd. On the 17th May I had some largo payments to make, which I could not meet I had, however, about £1300 worth of goods. I could only sell the goods at a sacrifice of at least one-third. I told Mr. Abbot, who had previously often offered mo assistance in the way of loans of money, what my position was. I asked him if he could assist me, as I did not wish to sacrifice my goods. He said he could not give mo cash, but offered to give me his promissory note for £500, for which he asked me £25. This latter proposition I demurred to. The bill was to have four months' currency. I was sued on thi3 bill. The negotiation was dropped, and re newed a dnv or two afterwards, when the terms were reduced to £12 10s. I gave him a bill of £500 as an acknowledgment of the debt, and a promissory note of £12 or the accommodation. The bill for £500 was simply to show the debt, and not to be used. Mr. Abbt said he would not use it. I discounted Abbot's bill for £500. I had one more bill of Abbot's current at the time. I saw the mana ger of tho Bank of New South Wales, who knew about the bill —that is, he knew what I was going to put the proceeds to. He told mc that I might draw a cheque on the Bank of New South Wales, in favor of the Bank of New Zealand, for the money, upon a bill that was lying over in the last-mentioned bank. The payments I had to make by the 17th were to retire a promissory note of James Mackay, jun., for £64 17s. 4d., also a bill of S. H. Meyers, for £182 ss. lOd. Both these bills had. been dishonored. .My account was over drawn £6L 7s. 4d. I paid the Bank of New Zealand, in consequence of which £140 worth of goods came into my hands. I sold these goods; the bill for them was deposited in the Bank of New South. Wales, and was paid. The sum I paid to the Bunk of New Zealand wa3 £354 os. lOd. Tho bill was, of course, discounted, and went into my account. These facts show how my credit-balance was re duced to £383. This transaction was in the nature __ of a loan from Abbot, for which T paid him £12 10s. — His Honor: The force this evidence is meant to have is that the bankrupt says, " So far as I am concerned, I never intended to set two bills floating which would enable Mr. Abbot to go into the world."—Mr. MacCormick: 1 think it is rather too much to put the words into witness' mouth, that because the manager of the Bank of New South Wales knew what wa3 to be done with the proceeds of this bill, therefore he knew of the nature of tho trans action between the witness and Abbot.—-' Witness .—Mr. Abbot told mo he had spoken to the manager on the subject. The manager knew I was to give my bill to Abbot as an ■ acknowledgment of the debt. -Tho £500 bill was not met at maturity. It become due on the 17th of September." I did not meet it be cause I heard of the failure of Messrs. Abbott and Smith—of each of them. -This is one of my liabilities. There is the bill of £280 Gs. 7d.. I had a payment to make on the 4th May of £455 Is. 9d. io Mr. Abbot. That was for the bill which included the £472. The •bill was given in February. It was given to Abbot in exchange for Mr. Smith's promis sory note to Abbot — Abbot asked me to ex change. Neither of them could meet the bill. I got Smith's note to Abbot in exchange for mine to Abbot. Mine came due''to Ab bot on the 4th of May, and I had to meet it. On the 3rd May Iliad bills and cash to tho extent of £481. Three of these bills I offered for discount, but the Bank would only discount tme of them, viz., Mr.

Holdship's for £131 8s sd. The proceeds of that, with thecash imhand, would amount to a credit balance of about £2501 I expected tobeableto discount the other notes. The markets were vety bad. It was impossible to sell for cash. I requested Mr. Abbot ro renew the £455, or to lend me to tile extent of £230. , I also asksd him for £50 he owed, me. He agreed tefpay me, but he gave me a bill for £280<!lnstead of £230. I discounted the bill, and took up the one for £455..Smith's bill which I took from Abbot was not met, and it was renewed for £472 13s 2d: I met my own bill, and this one stands as'one of my liabilities. I had many conversations with the manager of the Bank of New South Wales with respect to Mr. Smith's position. He told me that Smith was sound, and that I might safely have transactions with him. He spoke of Mr. Smith in this way up to about the end of June. But his reply to the question at ihe last mentioned date showed me there was a doubt upon his mind. These circumstances of course only took place when talking about business matters gene rally. - About the 18thr of May I had a conversation with the_ manager about Mr. Abbot. Ho remarked that the £500 bill was j a perfectly good bill. About July I went to tell the position of my affairs to the manager, as I had heard of Mr. Smith's failure. Abbot told me that he would lose about £6,000 by it. I presumed that Abbot's position would be affected by Smith's failure.—His Honor : Is it known whether Mr. Abbot paid £6,000 into the Bank of New South Wales ? because one would like to know what it means, whether it was an actual loss, or whether it was such a loss as would be implied by varia tion in price of scrip.—Witness : I believed Abbot to be worth £10,000 or £12,000 ; if not in hard sovereigns, in property, &c, after pay ment of his debts.—His Honor: I do not mention it cynu-ally; but one is so much in the habit of hearing of persons being losers of large sums of money, it is desirable to know what is the real position of parties in an inquiry of this kind. Left sitting.

THE FATAL OCCURRENCE NEAR PAPAKURA.

Yotr received from a correspondent a few par ticulars of the fatal occurrence at Pupakura Valley. lam now able to forward you a few facts in connection with the enquiry held yes terday by C. Mellsop, Esq., R.M. The en quiry was held at the house of Hugh Hamil ton, a settler at Papakura Valley. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. and Mrs. Smith, after putting the child to bed, about nine o'clock in the evening, put the lump out, and left a small fire alight in the fireplace, and drew the door to without locking it, and then went down to the road, a distance of about twenty-five chains from tho house, to meet a neighbour, who was bringing them some stores from Auckland. They remained wait ing about an hour, and whilst in the act of receiving the stores, they saw the flames burst through the roof of the house. They immediately ran. towards the house, but before they got there the roof and walls had fallen in. It was a sawn weather-boarded house, thatched with nikau. It was utterly impossible for them to render any assistance to the unfortunate child, a small portion only of whose body was found the next morning, after the fire had gone out. The evidence taken clearly showed that the fire was purely accidental, and that no blame attached, to r.ny one, tho probable cause of the fire being that a spark might have ignited a bundle of dry tea-tree which had been placed in front of the fire-place for lighting the fire in the ' morning. Great sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who are hard-working and indus trious settlers, and who, bssidca their sad bereavement, have lost everything except the clothes they had on at the time, besides £7 in money. It is contemplated to raise a sum of money by subscription, to relieve Mr. and Mrs. Smith in their immediate wants. — [Correspondent.]

She came to me where I was working, and said she had been to the bnck and front of Hogan's house, and could find no person, that she wanted some, wood, and she supposed she would have to go Hogan to the beach.—Detective Terna han deposed y. I arrested the prisoner on the present charge on the 9th of May ; told her the charge. She at first denied all knowledge of.it, and then admitted that she had taken the money j told what the money consisted of, and where she had spent it; viz., one £5 note at Mr. Fitz's, one at Mrs. Shep herd's, one at Mr. Pope's, one at Mr. Johnson's,- and one at Keesing, Doitsh, and Keesing s, and said she paid all her debts.

Defendant carried a small dagger.—To Mr. Joy : Had said that defendant had the broad arrow marking her as a convict, on her left arm.
