TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1871.

" For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance,

And the good that we can do.

Owing to the magnificent pyrotechnic display with which the appearance of the Morning News was ushered in, we have been interested in noting the doings of this prodigy in journalism. " It will be," said the prospectus, " a Colonial, a .New Zealand journal: not like the other morning papers, a merely Provincial, or Auckland paper." "In politics and commerce it will be a leader of public opinion in Auckland, not a follower in the wake of others. If not a sun, it will be no satellite. In all that concerns philanthropy, social science, and public morals, it will ever be in-the foremost rank. In literature and general news it will be second to no.colonial journal." With the exception of our own mock prospectus respecting tho issuo of the " Morning Star," we have not seen in ;iny New Zealand journal such a jum ble of high falutin spread-eagleism and bombastical nonsense, as in the stupen dous, rhetorical, rlmpaotlicid, convul sions of our littlo contemporary, the livening News, when speaking of the coming wonder. We have to-day spent an hour in looking into the subject, comparing the JHceninq News of yesterday with tho Monting News of yesterday and to-day, and on our jour nalistic honor we submit a true account to our readers. Yesterday's Evening News contains six columns and a third of what may be called reading matter, aud we give our assurance that with tiie exception of one para graph of nine lines and three words, every line and every word appear in the Morning News. That paragraph is^the first of the news of the day, and is an extract from the Thames Adoer tiser with reference to the death of Mrs. M;iunsell.> "We have not found it in tho morning edition. "With this exception, there is not one word in the rending matter of the evening paper I h ;bis not reproduced, and generally v. ith-typographical errors,and all in the columns of the morning one. Leader and locals, extracts, Thames news, and all are reproduced word for word aud sentence for sentence. Even tho advertisements are fur the most part the same. In the Thames tele graphic, the two editions dovetail, the evening paper giving the telegrams lilted bodily from the morning paper, and a few besides, while the succeed ing morning edition [gives those few with a few additional, which are to be reproduced in the evening edition succeeding; all producing an entangle ment of " latest telegrams," which it ia given to few men to be able to unravel, In one telegram wo find indeed a correction. Tho evening paper says, " Caledonians quoted at £il2, now selling at £110." The same words lifted into'the morning paper appear as " Caledonians quoted at £112, now selling at £130," show ing the " reliable" character of state ments which are calculated to so affect the share market.

It may be said that what our con temporary is pleased to do is not'our. business. . To- this we demur. The existence of the Morning News was boastfully inado a protest agaiusfc the inferior journalism of the city, and, after the flourish of trumpets with which" its advent to the ranks of journalism was heralded, we are challenged to compare its pro mises and performances ; and where we find tho Evening JNews, in its en tirety, with the exception of nine lines and three words re-hashed and served up to the public under the name of the Morning News, we are irresistibly impelled to denounce this mongrel thing as the most disreputable parody on journalism that has at tempted yet to foist itseli on tho New Zealand public

We must apologise to our Faniell readers for the non-delivery of the Stab ycftovilay in that suburb. The man who usually delivers the papers there was laid up ill, in consequence of'having been beaten severely, on Saturday evening, by one of the contractors to the Par nell Board, who, it appears, was drunk on the occasion. In yesterday's issue, our " Man about Town" made allusion to a jollification held by the Parnell Highway Board, on the completion of certain works. The Highway

Board were nearly all tipsy, and were driving frantically up and down the streets, drinking at every public house, and making themselves generally glorious. Our unfortunate runner fell foul.of the happy party, and in the matter of a dispute respecting a three-penny piece, was felled, by the contractor, V>ko a buTloe«. We regret the rencontre, but when a hamlet feels funny, a«'idori)-fi, l w!ll.«ocii?,'/.

An application traß inacTe yesterday in the Supreme Court fov a rule nisi, for n writ of attachment agaiust C. A. Harris, jnu., for cutting up certain timber logs, which Jie, with Mohi, had moved to his own mill. The ground of the application was, that Mr. Harris, ha-r ---ing been on a previous occasion adjudged in contempt of^^Jpurt by removing these logs, he was wow in contempb for cutting them up. His Honor thought the proper legal process was by an action at law, to be brought by any person claiming the right to the logs.

His Honor Chief Just'co Aruoy will pro ceed South in the Lord Ashley, in order to attend the Court of Appeal. Mr. MacCormick was a passenger to Sydney by the Hero.

The following is a translation of a portion of a letter recently received by a French resident in Greyinouth from a country man in New Caledonia : —" Noumea, May 25, 1871 Tho mines (to commence with) are nothing. There has been more gold bearing ground found since the first discovery, but these old mines are still ronmining very rich. The country is magnificent. As it is in many respects similar in its productions to those of Mauritius, Bourbon, &c, it will iv a few years become a maguinVont colony. I would not advise you to come here for two months yet. I will write another letter to you, and one for Hypolitc. lam in treaty for .the purchase of a stone 'quarry, and if I succeed I shall at once briug my family down, as I like tho place better than either.New Zealand or California. I left Sydney in com pany with somo families from Mauritius. They had Some Malays along with them. Some of the men are old miners, aud they think a good deal of the country. If, however, you want to purchase land it is very dear."

A stream of immigration from Otago to the Fijis seems to hare set in to some extent. Last week the schooner Lismore cleared out for Levuka, vrith fourteen cabin passengers and their servants. Amongst the passengers aro some very old and highly respected Otago settlers, and all intend to settle permanently in Fi.jis.

In the case of Mohi and Craig the Judge's certificate for costs will admit of fresh argu ment, inasmuch as when the sum recovered i? within the amounts to which the inferior courts have jurisdiction, tho costs of such courts only shall bo allowed: But the Costs in this case are allowed as costs "in the cause," —the question tried was one of right, and the higher scale will bo allowed. It is said, however, that the whole of Craig's estate has been assigned, so that he has no assets, and costs cannot be obtained from the assignee.

Brown, Campbell, & Co., is acknowledged with thanks.

Notice is given that James McShano lias filed a declaration of his inability to inoet his engagements with his creditors.

We learn on good authority that the para graph going the round ;of the papers, taken from the Nelson Colonist, that " it is reported" that Mr. Charles O'Neill, M.H.R.,had resigned his seat for the Thames in the General Assem bly, is without the slightest foundation.

THE SHARE MARKET.

ACCIDENT AT THE GOLDEN CROWN SHAFT.

On Saturday evening an accidents occurred to one of the contractors of tho G-olden Orovm mine while ascending tha shaft, in the cage, which but for tEe presence of mind and acti vity of the breaksman '"itiid- encihe-driver, would hare proved vory sorious, if not fatal. The contractor, Andrew McLaughlan, stepped into a loaded truck on tho cage for the purpose of ascending to the surface. By some means tho truck tipped up when the cage was raised' about a dozou feet. The capsized trujk jammed McLaughlan, but fortunately the brenkainan (Sanderson), who wus a at the collar of the shaft, noticed by the vibrution of the rope that something wa3 wrong, and had the engine stopped instantly, thus in all proba bility saving the man from more serious con-, sequences. The cage was then lowered to tho lauding, when it was found that, except soino severe bruises and injuries to the legs and feet, McLaughlan was safe. He was brought to the surface and conveyed^ to his own houge.— Thtmta Advertiter*

Waruer, Official Agent, deposed thnt ho liad prepared an estimate of the cost of wind ing up this company, and prepared a list of the names of persons liable as contributors. Had also*'*fbrwarded the usual notice to each of them. The names struck out were—H. N. Warner, Henry Soal, D. A. Tole, John Smyth. The , remaining names on ■ the list, which wore very numerous, trcre retained as contributors of the respective sums for. which they were severally Bet- down. Wild Missor/Bi Extended. —There waano opposition in this case, and the schedule of contributors was allowed to pass without ex ception. Jlaep and Shamrock Gold Mixing- Com pany.—The Official Agent proved tho pro paration of tho eslimate of tho cost of winding up, and the list of contributors, with the usual twenty-one clays' notice lo each. The schedule was passed without any names beiDg struck out.

Fbkeman's Bay Gold Mixing Company. —Mr. J. Ji.Kussell in support of Iho schedule as it stood; Messrs. Heaketb, Brock, and Coleman for the objectors, Messrs. Graham, Jones, W. Morrin, and Parker.— W. J. Parker , doposed that ho, with anotheiy was ownor of a full share in the original clainf, which" ho transferred to the company for sevonty scrip, as ho supposed, paid up —Mr. W. M. Hay, formerly manager, proved the transfer of the sliaro to the company. It was never registered. Did not know whero the transfer was. Mr. Way mouth was manager beforo tho witness. The document was prepared by witnosa, as solicitor to the company, and handed to Mr. Wayinouth. After the transfer was made, ground was claimed by some persons called "jumpers," who sued the company, and tho company lost tho ground. The consideration for the transfer was merely nominal, viz., 59.— Mr. Wm. Morrin eaid ho was in the same posi tion as the last objector. He and Mr. Morton Jones owned a half original sharo, which they gave up to the company for thirtj-fivo scrip, " paid up." The claim was held in partnor ship with Mr. Morton Jones. He could not any anything further than that the books of the company would show that, tliey had re ceived thirty-fire shares in the company as equivalent —eighteen for his portion of a " half man's" ground, and that these shares were paid up. Until all the other shares were paid up he objected to pay anything more. He considered the transaction as simply au " ox ehauge" of interest in tho' claim for scrip." The ground was afterwards jumped. — Mr. Bees submitted that -Mr. Morrin was clearly liable, for a transfer or interest must be in writing. There was no writing in this" case an.i consequently no evidence that any pay in, .it was made, nor any evidenoo of consider ation for these paid-up shares.—After some negotiation between counsel, Mr Morrinwith drew his objection. — Mr. Kesketh said that i the other parties were in the same position. — His Honor questfoned whether it was wisdom in thes« cases to object. It appeared to him >liat it was a falling from Soylla to Chavyblis.—Mr. Hes keth doubted whether they yould be in a better position even if they ptid the smaller amount. They were'not abh to sustain an action in the' SUprejhe Oouit.—Miv J. B. .Russell said ike Official Agont bad tho whole matter in his hand. WJiei^ parties were unable to pay, he would be ready to tako a reasonable compensation, but: he was bound to obtain sufficient to " wind-up" the com pany. There was no intention when share holders paid, the amount tliey .vwefe called upon to contribute to sue them agaku-^The objections of Messrs. Arckbokj, Hepburn, and V.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The re^open;nj; of the abdyo the£tre: lasfc 'evening was, notwithstanding the bois terous nature o'' the weather, an unquali fied success. The audience, which.'Was tolerably numerous, although, not demon strative;-seemed to enjoy Mrs. Ccntlivre's comedy of the " Busybody," and as each actress and actor appeared upon the sccno, a hearty welcome was accorded. Miss Colville was as charming" a» ever in her representation of Miranda, a charac-, ter which afforded ample scope for thabi piquancy and archness which so well be come her, and, judging from appearances, she seems to have enjoyed her visit to the Thames. Mr. Hoskins, as Marplot, was full of sparkling hum6ur.,sfeid viva city, and kept tho interest of the piece from flagging. Messrs.* Jones, Hydos, Kyan, Booth, and Clinton, sustained the other i characters in &\ mannor which evinced that the piece had been carefully studied and rehearsed. Miss Flora Ansteacl, Miss Jessie Raymond, and Mrs. B. N. Jones also sustained characters in tho piece, and contributed materially to i+g success. The farce of •" The Fast Tfraia," which followed,' and'in which Mr. Hoskins sustains the character of a fast-train high-pressure express Yankee, was most enjoyable. It is capitally con-,, structed, and" as a contemporary vety justly observes, is alone worth all the money paid at the doors to see. To'at tempt to give any idea of this comically absurd character by description would be futile. Those who care to enjoy a hearty laugh should see Mi". Hoskins as Jack Delaware ; it is a finished performance, full of fun, without a particle of vulgarity. We aro glad to see the Prince of Wales company once more, and as long as pieces continue to be produced as they ' night,we augur a liberal continuance of public support.# To night " The,. Bella's Stratagem," Which* was "so * severely' criticised at the ■'Thames, will be pro duced, followed by the farco we have alluded to. '""",*

CORRESPONDENCE.

[We are not responsible for our Correspondents' opinions.]

To the Editor of tho Evening Stab. a Sie,— iEhe Herald, of this.morning reports Ifchat the;cause of Mohi v. Craig is ended, and in another paragraph announces that the Chief Justice has refused to prevent the logs of Craig being taken by Harris. Ib is thus apparent that the verdict of the jury will be of no benefit whatever to Craig. Mohi took the logs from Craig under a process of tho Court called an injunction, and has sold the logs to Harris, and the Court looks on at the transao- tion. | ,-..' ... i -i ' r ;: Craig has had a large'supply oflaw iri the^ Supreme Court, and" the" jury^woufcTEave" given him justice, but it appears that the Chief Justice thinks moro of law than equity. It" certainly is strange that the .Couri^cpuld. not bo, made to see tUB proceedings of: Mohi, or Mohi and Harris in the same light as the jury, and I may add every intelligent man in Auckland. It may be quite correct in law, to . keep twelve gentlemen from their, business for at least ten Hays, and then render their labours of none effect, but tho jury are not the men I take them to be if thoy quietly submit to such treatment, without representing it in the proper quarter; and it is earnestly" to be hoped that the notoriously bad treatment Craig has had may lead to a reform in tho law oourts of New Zealand.—-I am, &c, Meboatob.'
