The Evening Star. MONDAY, MAY 22, 1871.

It will, we believe, afford general satis faction to learn that the new Municipal Council of the' City of Auckland has to-day honorably recognised the ser vices of the Chairman of the late Board of City Commissioners in con ferring upon him the dignity of first Mayor of the city. Mr. Philips has hitherto been distinguished for rare diligence in attending to his public duties, and it would have been an ill requiting of his zeal and public spirit had the Municipal Councillors clone otherwise. The duties and responsi bilities of the Mayor are much greater than were those of the Chairman of the City Board, and although the new Council might have made an effort at conferring on itself a fictitious and ridiculous dignity by electing to the position of first magis trate of the city a gentleman of greater wealth and social pretensions, it has sbow,n its practical good sense in pre ferring sound serviceable qualities, such as in his public services hitherto Mr. Philips has invariably evinced. The honorarium voted by the CounciJ to support the dignity of the mayoral office has been arranged on economical principles; but though the sum of £250 will necessitate the frugal dis pensation of civic hospitalities, and but moderately recompense for the amount of. hard work required from his Worship, it doubtless foreshadows the prudence and economy that will characterise the administration of the affairs of the city. Having now obtained that which we have been accustomed to regard as a boon —the possession of municipal institutions—we can fairly hope that energy and progress will characterise the movements of our civic authorities. There is plenty to be done, and there are sufficient powers inherent in the new institution to do it effectually; and we do hope that the unpopularity that invested the City Board will perish with the official existence of that body, and that it will be our duty, as it will be our pleasure, to record from time to time with commendation the improvements in the appearance and conveniences of the city under the regime of our Municipal Council.

" Bogues' Corner" has come under the ban of the police, and " move on" is the order of "the day. Whether it is that " Bobby" is annoyed at the indig nity put upon him by the charge of dabbling with the unclean thing called " scrip" when clad in the trappings of the Armed Constabulary, or whether it is from the real inconvenience caused to sane persons when passing the junc tion of Queen and Shortland-streets, the new order will produce considera ble " animation," literally, in the share market. " Birds of a feather flock to gether," but why on earth the most crowded portion of our most crowded thoroughfares should have been selected as a roost in this particular case, it is difficult to divine. The proximity of certain of our leading brokers has had some thing to do with the original selection, but as every place all over the town where an office can be found contains one of these persons, like a spider waiting for flies, there is no special reason remaining why this corner should be devoted to the scrip maniacs at large. Surely the interests of our goldfields are sufficiently important to warrant the institution of a. Mining .Exchange. Nothing could be more admirably suited for this purpose than the large central hall or court of the New Zealand Insurance Company's building. It seems an unbearable in dignity say for a " Caledonian " to be rudely jostled by a policeman and bidden to remove himself from the public thoroughfare ; and the look of indignation likely to result is more than the Armed Constabulary should be called on to bear. Everything con

sidered, we do hope that a lodgement of some kind will be found for the new interest, and that enforced vaga bondage will not be added to the many other pains of the scrip market.

NORTHERN WAIROA.

SAD ACCIDENT.—TWO LIVES LOST. One of those sad accidents which cast a gloom over a neighbourhood, cause sorrow in fami lies, and fill some hearts with anguish, oc curred at Tokatoka on the 9th instant. A youth named Frank William North wood, and a man named Henry Sullnck, were drowned by the upsetting of a boat. The youth was related toMr.J. Fitness, of Tokatoka, (through his wife)' and employed by him in the stores of Messrs. Must and Co. During Mr. Fituess's absence in Auckland, the care of the atore was left in the deceased Sullack's charge. He appears to have been very anxious to do all he could during his absence, and made a voyage to Kaihu on Monday with two tons of gum, and returned to Tokatoka about three o'clock in the morning of Tuesday. He loaded again, and started with two tons and 13 cwt. more gum, Frank North-wood—Mr. Fitness's brother-in-law—being with him in the boat, at the helm. When abreast of Mr. Jenkins', it came on to blow very hard, and -whilst Sullack was endeavouring to take in a reef, the boat gave a heavy lurch, took in water, then righted again, and eventually sank. Captain Stanaway, of the Clyde ; Mr. Manning, of the Packet"; Mr. Stana>\ay, of Tokatoka, and several of the settlers on the banks of the Wairoa, spent considerable time in endeavouring to raise the boat and to find the bodies. The bout came to pieces with the efforts made, and, I regret to say, the bodies have not been found. The elder deceased was a married man, and leaves a family, now residing at Melbourne.—[" Herald's" Corres pondent, May 16.]

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MON GONUI RIVER.

On the 15th inst., a gad accident happened on the Mongonui Kiver, by which a youth, named James Arthur Braund, aged 17 years, lost his life. It appears that deceased, witli Mr. Win. Braund, who had lately settled on their land, were coming down with two gum-diggers and a load.of gum; about .'even miles from the mouth of the river the boat got snagged and sapsized. Fourteen cwt. of gum and all the baggage was lost. The two diggers and de ceased clung to the boat, and Wm. Brannd remained hanging on to the snag. Shortly afterwards the boat rolled over again, and one digger (James Kelly) struck out for the shore. The other digger stuck to the boat, and de ceased struck out and got hold of a polo used by the natives for staking an eel pot. The boat drifted down stream until stopped by a fallen tree, and there Kelly reached and got hold of it. Deceased hung on to the pole for half an hour, and was seen by his brother to climb up higher. It is supposed that the pole overbalanced, as he disappeared' and was not seen again.—" Herald's" Correspondent.

DISTRICT COURT.—Monday.

[Before Thomas Beekhani, Esq., District Judge.] The usual fortnightly sitting of this Court was held to-day. "* - McAethur and Sheea v. Lord Ragi^n Gold Mining- Com pan?.—This was a peti tion to wind up ; there was a further petition from a creditor named Sarnie.- The plaintiffs had attached certain judgment debts in Su preme Court. —His Honor inquired why there should be a doiible petition. The effect would be double costs.—Mr. Lusk applied for the costs of previous hearing.—His Honor said these companies, in his opinion, had suf fered pretty smartly already. He would grant the order, but would leave the question of costs in abeyance. The Same v. The Goiden Biook Gold Minings Company.—This was a similar appli cation, which was decided in a similar man ner. Cocheane v. Shooting- Star G. M. Co. — This was also a petition to wind up. There was no opposition, and the company was ordered to be wound up. Nash t. Btjgden.—This case stood over for argument upon the question whether, when a plaintiff accepts a nonsuit, he can amend his particulars for the purpose of a new action.— Mr. Hesketh said the learned counsel on the other side had gone to Coromandel, and asked for an adjournment. He would consent to the adjournment, but would still object to any further amendment of particuars. Hastie v. Henderson.—Claim, £70. Mr. Hesketh for the plaintiff; Mr. Russell for the defendant. —This was an action to recover a yacht called the Wonder. The facts of the case as disclosed in the evidence were that the plaintiff purchased the vessel from a person named Charles Simmons, for £60. Simmons was left in charge of the yacht until the plain tiff should return to Wainui, at the Wade, where he is a settler. Afterwards heard that the yacht was in possession of Mr. Hender son, who refused to give her up. —In cross examination the witness said the vessel had been built by Carr, of Auckland, and that Simmons told him the boat was not twelve months old. Had lent Simmons various sums before the purchase, which formed part of the price. Some of this money was lent before the boat was in exitence. Witness heard that the vessel was seized by Mr. Holmes for a debt due by Simmons. Came to Auckland and found that Simmons was in prison. The boat was seized and sold by the Sheriff on the 21st of January, under a writ oiji.j'u., upon the suit of Holmes v. Simmons.—Charles Simmons, a fisherman, deposed that he sold the boat to Hastie, the plaintiff. The boat was built by Clare, and cost witness about £53. Wit ness received £20 from plaintiff when going to the Thames (before the boafe was built), £10 while in the Golden Harp, and other sums. Gave Hastie £15 on the completion of the purchase, which made up the £60. —The witness in his cross-examination said he had an interest in the Nonpareil with two other men. Remembered the Wonder being sold. Did not ask Mr. Copland to buy the boat in for him. Told Mr. Holmes that the boat (Wonder) was not his.— John Holmes (Holmes Brothers) said that he sued three persons—Simmons, Hodgson, and Jolly—and obtained judgment. The boat was sold to satisfy the judgment.—The case for the defendant turned upon the legal ques tions whether the document in this case, given as a receipt, came within the interpretation of " a bill of sale," und if that were allowed, | whether it should not be registered.—Mr. Hesketh relind upon the merits of the case. He denied that the receipt for the purchase money was in any respect like a bill of sale. This was a bona fide sale, and no notice was given to the plaintiff of any proceedings which would deprive him of the right to the goods he hud bought.—Judgment deferred. Judgments.—Tabb v. Dornwell, £7 18s; lionnington v. Rice, £28 ; Vance and Co. v. Igoe. .Adjourned.—Bitchie v. Jackmann.

POLICE COURT.—Monday.

[Before Dr. J. Nicholson and R. J. Porter, Esqs., Justices.] Drunkenness.—Four persons were fined for this offence with the usual alternative. Vagkancy.—Bridget Hankey, an old of fender, was sentenced to three months' im prisonment with hard labor. Malicious In-jury.—Michael Burns was charged by Gr. White with having broken seven panes of glass, value 205., in Barrack street. He was fined 20s. and costs, or in de fault seven days' imprisonment, with hard habor. Thkeatening Language.—Jane Quinn was charged by Mary Ann Paulgrave with having used threatening language towards her on the 18th and 19th instants. Case dis missed, each to pay his own costs. Licensing Act.—H. B. Stoney was charged with a breach of the above Act in having sold three glasses of rum, not having a license. Mr. Joy for the defence.—Francis L. Armi tage, of the Armed Constabulary, deposed : I went into the defendant's house, at the Wade, on the 13th instant, between 4 and 5 o'clock. Mr. Kelly was present. I asked for three glasses of rum. He produced a bottle, and I paid for the drinks. About three ov four hours after I was in formed that he had no license. Was not aware of that when I called for the liquor.— To Mr. Joy: I was in uniform when I went to Mr. Stoney's. I went there to get my horse a feed. Had a bottle of rum with me for a friend in the country. Mr. Stoney said he had some liquor for his own private use.— Maurice Kelly, deposed : I was in Mr. Stoney's on the 13th. Saw Constable Armi tage there, who called for drinks, and Mr. Stoney said he had none for sale, but only for his private use. Heard Constable Armitage ask how much he was indebted for all. I did not see money pass between them.—Mr. Joy addressed the Bench at much length in reply. —The Bench retired to consider the vordiot, and, on returning, stated that as from the 59th section of the new Licensing Act the onus probandi with reference to no money having passed was laid on the defendant, and as such proof had not been adduced, defen dant was fined £10 and costs.

G-EAHAMSTOWN, 1 p.m. The Caledonian have lodged 20,016 ounces. The Bass Rock, near the Nonpareil, have taken out some splendid speci mens. The Middle Star have crushed three tons, which have yielded six ounces of gold. Bixon's No. 1 crushing of forty seven tons gave 194- ounces. The Qolden Lion have opened a good reef. Scrip is enquired for. 2 p.m. The Cure will commence a crushing during the present week. The new reef struck — supposed to be the Golden Crown No. 2 —has every ap pearance of containing gold. North Devon scrip has been much sought after this morning consequent upon its close proximity to the Al burnia.

[feom anotheb cobbespondent.j

The Bass Rock, situated close to the Nonpareil, have struck a fine reef, and already some 30 lbs. or 40 lbs. of rich specimens have been taken out. North Devon have sold here at £2 to £2 10s. The Caledonian took out eight hundredweight of very rich specimens early this morning. About 3000 ozs. more will be lodged this afternoon. The Inverness crushing of 100 tons, without specimens, is yielding about 1^ ozs. to the ton.

THE MORMONS IN" AUSTRALIA. [FfiOM TIIE " MELBOUBNE DAILY TELEGKRAPH."] Brigham Young, we have been told, is cast ing sheep'a-eyes upon Central Australia as a possible future abode for the Saints when G-entile persecution shall have rendered the Salt Lake district as unendurable as Zion (Jackson's" county) and Nauvoo. Stuart's desert, however, is scarcely likely ever to wel come the energetic apostle, nor will the women of his harem hang up their harps on the wattles of Cooper's Creek. We are tolerably cosmopolitan, only it is necessary to .draw the line somewhere, and there would be conclusive reasons for drawing it at Mr. Young, were the rumour anything more than a joke. Our objection to receiving him and his brethren will be easily stated. It is exactly opposite bo that which has made us put an embargo on the Chinese. Our celestial brothers bring too few women with them to share their huts and ameliorate their lot, and Mr. Youug and his friends would bring too many. Only it may be pointed out tkat if that impossible exodus were possible, it would have its compensations ; we could learn some practical lessons from the Moi-mons. What travellers to the Salt Lake dwell upon is not the peculiar institution of that singular people, but their astonishing success in subduing the wilderness. TheSainis have preserved one of the arts of the heroic age, which we seem to have lost namely, that of " planting" new countries. Wherever they have settled they have transformed the desert into farms, cultivations, and irrigated allot ments, capable of supporting large and con tented populations. They have ho overgrown cities, absorbing the life of the nation—playing the part allotted in fables to the vampire bat. Where we have one man settled on the soil] the Mormons have ten ; and while the real colonist, who comes to build a home for him self and his children, content to leave an inheritance and not a fortune, is the rare ex ception in Australia, he is the common rule in Utah. Altogether we should really be disposed ;to welcome the brotherhood here right heartily if they would forget their " amiable weakness," as Mr. Weller would term it—leave behind their Mormonism, and bring their colonising instincts.

MEETING OF THE NEW CORPO RATION.-THIS DAY.

Emotion of a M A T OB .-The members of the did City Board met together at the£ offices Canada Buildings, this morning £ the last time. There were present Messrs P A Philips Hampton, Tonks, Staines, Macreadv Asher, Smart, Afckin, Bugden, and Georael.' Mr. Bugden explained to the Board that the long-talked of Corporation had now been granted, and his connection with them had therefore ceased. After reading the notification from the gazette, he retired from the room.—Mr. Smart was then moved to the chair, and explained to those present ■what was necessary tobe done.—Each then read a declaration that he would do his duty faith fully, after which they were declared to be full fledged councillors. The present business was the fixing the salary of a Mayor and appointing some gentleman to the office.—Mr. Macreadv thought the salary should be £200.—Mr. Hanvn ton moved that it be £250.—And Mr. Staines as an amendment moved that there be no salary at all attached to the officees there were many gentlemen who would take it for nothing.—The amendment was not seconded. —Mr. Hampton's motion was carried. On the motion of Mr. Macready, it was unani mously resolved to elect Mr. Philips the first Mayor of Auckland ; and in doing so the Council paid a well merited tribute to the business-like abilities, energy, and integrity of Mr. Philips, who was then sent for and invested with the insignia of office, after having made a similar declaration as those made by the other councillors. Coun cillor Smart congratulated him upon his appointment, and the Mayor replied fo suitable terms, saying lie hoped that the same harmony and goodwill would exist among them as in the' past.—At the conclusion of the proceedings, the Ma,yor invited the Council to take champagne with him, in honor of the occasion, and to inaugurate the new Corporation, in a fitting manner. They then adjourned to Menzies and had bumpers of champagne. Several toasts were proposed and responded to, among them being our new Mayor and Town Councillors.
