PEESOtfAJL. A person csled Field, who has a lead of huxtering printing place somewhere in the city, has had the aueacity to p'iack the Eyjbning Stae in a little fly-sheet issued from his mr.-g-e. 'We appear to hare trodden on his co as ii our cri'icism of the catalogue of the ociety of Artists, which, it seem-;, had been executed br ■ his Field, doubtless in a manner as wel! a^ his_ limited appl-aices would admit, but which wes redly in its "get up" very unworkmanlike.

We are gkd to lc:?:* that the young man Webb, w'.ofell from the roof of St. James's Presbyterian Church, aj derailed in our Satur day's issue, is -iloiug as well as can be expected, consider! ug the seiions injuiio3 which he ■•_• ceived. Tho month Jy inspection parade of the Ar' rl lei-/ Volunteer* will take place at "Port Eri: o merfc at 7.30 p.m. 10-morrow. All merabera absenting themselves will be fined. Ihe Thames Mail of Saturday says : —" We are pleased to learn that the balance of debt upon the new Presbyterian Church, KJaraka Bridge, has been cleared off, through the energy of the pastor, and the liberality of Mr. Crombie, photographer, of Auckland, a fortunate Caledonian shareholder, who very generously gave a cheque to the Rev. Mr. Hill for half the balance of £150, otter that gentle man had collected the other portion." A divorce case is on the tapis in Wellington (says the Wanganui Herald), in which a re spectable hotel-keeper is petitioner, the co respondent being a groom. Legal action, we hear, is pending, and the circumstances avo of the mo3t painful nature, creating much sympathy for the injured husband, who has given no cause for bis partner's deliberate and professed infidelity. The monthly inspection of the Auckland Volunteer Artillery will take place to-morrow evening. A meeting of the members of the second company, Naval Voluuteers, i? advertised to be held this evening.—A meeting of the mem bers of the Auckland Troop Cavalry Volunteers will take place to-morrow evening. The p.s. Duke of Edinburgh leaves for Wangarei and Mangapai at seven o'clock tins evening.

PIOTOE OE WALES THE ATE E. Thebs was another very successful per formance at this- theatre on Saturday evening, when the magnificent comedy of " The Heir-i-.t-L_w" was re-produced, and, as upon former occasioDs, elicited loud commendations. Mr. Hopkins' ex traordinary impersonation of Dr. Pan gloss was as telling v% ever, and drewdown the most hearLjr applause, while Miss Colville as Cicely Homesnun wns equally successful. The other charretei'a were exceedingly well performed, espe cially those of Messrs. Ryan, Jones, and JHydes. The afterpiece was the comedi etta of " A Handsome Husband." in which Mr. Hoskins and Miss Colville showrd to great advantage. ' This evening Morton's splendid comedy of " The School of Re form" will be produced, o be followed by "A Handsome Husbaud." To-morrow evening Bouclceult's fiae play of •'' Lon don Assurance" will be performed.

BOWING CLUB ATHLETIC SPORTS.

These sports, which are to come off in the Albert Burracks ou Wednesday next, promise, to be in ever/ way a great success. There is no doubt tt_at sports of this nature have received :.\ immense impetus among our young p.ople since the omral in t'>e.colony of the pedes:/ n , Massri. B .d, BJrrrls, and Hewitt. Tiie sports of Ea tc? Monday were so great a succers that the member, of the Auckland Rowing Club determine.' to get up races of a simih-r character at an early date ; ; a committee was forme J, and stens taken to ensure a good programme. ScverZ prices were offered by the Rowirg Club, also by p.'vate individuals, and the management of the Theatre Eojal b^-.ve given a very handsome silver cup towards the same objeb!. 'there are also silver cups given by the club, and i% p. ir of sliver sculls and clasp-, given by Mr. E.lsaacs. Wednesday has bee? fixed for the sports to come off, unci a petition has bean driwn np and sent round to the numerous merchants in town, asking them to close their places of 'easiness in the 3 after noon, ' r order to give their e-.nplo-jli a half holiday ro attend the sports. To this they have illiberally responded, and Wednesday afternoon will be kept a3 a hr.lf-holiday. For ulitt last fortnight or threo weeks the in tending _ competitors have been in training, and hc-clly a morning or afternoon passes but large numbers of . ticra rr.ay be seen tying their powers round ?;:ie barrack green. A programme of the sporti, together with the nr.mc of the competitors, wi'l be found in our , o'Twiisii;' columns, -;«.d 7: numbers and : vcriety bo any .critrioj of success, then the spor!s should be v r^rert succsa3. Ihereae no lc:s th,n twelve events to come off, includ ir>T fl t :*"cc3, hurrle race, three-legged r/eos, and bycrcie races. There arc a large number cf entires for each event, many of which will doubtless be closely contested The (hvce-lcggei raes will be an amusing feature of the s-ortr, while the by cycle -.- -trill be cqual.y interc-iting. Tne spo. w„i commence: at one o'clock, and the entr ice to the Barracks will be, as upon die former occasion, one shilling. Major Heaphy is to be the judge, Mr. v ohn Copland the Btavl er, and Messrs. J. M. Daigavil'eaadD.B. Cra:ck ■ shank referees. The rules and regalaiions have j bean clrr.wn up up with gvo.-.s impartiulity by the committee, and the handicapping for the various oveiu3 has 3iven universal satisfaction. The rcrds containing :he ucmes and addresses of the competitors w:il bo on sale on the ground. We hope to see a very lnrge uttend n r. In the evening the p.-;ze-< will bo presented ;o the winners at the Theatre JRoyal, when there r,iil be an amateur performance by the members of the Rowing Club. -In con clusion, we may say that a tenth of the pro ceeds of the day's sports, and likewise of the evening's performance, will be presented (o a leer.

SPECIAL TELEGRAMS.

[FROM OTJB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] THIS DAY. THE NONPAREIL. — MOEE SPECIMENS. THE CALEDONIAN. PRINCE IMPERIAL CRUSHING

SHARE MARKET.

Grahamstown, 3 p.m. The Nonpareil mine is looking better than ever, and the next crushing will give,a handsome return. Gfood speci mens are being brought up daily, and shares are much enquired after. • The Prince Imperial crushing was completed on Saturday, and the retort ing took place this morning, the result being 22£ ounces from ten tons of stone, an average of over two ounces to the ton. I believe there is no truth in the report that the stuff crushed last week had been salted. It promises to be a very valuable mine. The Caledonian hare taken out another lot of specimens of average quality. The Poverty and Charleston crush ing is showing up well for a good return. A parcel of very nice speci mens were brought up late on Satur day. There has not been much done in the share market to-day. Thames have been sold at £23 10s., held for £24 10s. ; Nonpareil, £4 ss. to £4 7s. Gd. ; Central Italy, 17s. Gd. ; Tookey, £13.

The Middle Star.—Further stripping of the cap of the reef near the boundary of the Earl of Uister has produced a very fine lot of specimens, which will considerably swell the next crushing for the Middle Star. Many of the stones aro equal in richness to any that have been taken out of the miue. There ap pears to be a fine block of unbroken ground in this part of the claim, which will pay well for working, and now that the company have determined to work the mine vigorously, as it deserves to be, we shall expect to have regular crushings and steady yields to report from the Middle Star! In the lower level of the mine the reef main tains its character. Gold is very frequently visible in the stone as it is broken out, although rich specimens are not very plentiful in it, but the general appearance of the reef is pro mising. The main tunnel from the Moana tari Creek, which is to be entared for the joint benefit of this company and the Sons of Free dom will prove of -immense advantage to both mines, by giving a very deep level on the reef, as well as furnishing facilities for its more efficient working. The Royal Standard.—A parcel of about 20 tons of stone from this mine has been crushed at Bull's machine, JKaraka, but the average obtained was poorer than usual, only turning out at the rate of about 7 dwts. to the ton. Tookby's Company (Will's Tribute).— There were in all twenty-three tons of stone crushed for Wills and party at the Tram way battery. The result obtained from the retorting which took place yesterday is 86 ozs. of gold, a return which is far in excess of what was expected. This party of tributers are working one of the surface levels on the Bide of the hill, where a drive has been entered from tbe tramway level. The stuff crushed is all brown, and the gold is of a very good quality. This is the first crushing they have broken out having only recently taken the tnbut«. — Thames Advertiser,

The Message* dv Midi states that «thr Arabs are preparing for the Holy War through "but Algeria. Large bodies of troops are being sent there from Toulon. The transports Entreprenfcute and Juva are loading at Toulon whe-e a body of 15,000 men await their depar ture. This new insurrection is getting serioug and a vigorous action must be taken at once to check the rebellion, which is spreading among all the tribes." ■ The Fiji Times says : —« The U.S. Consul (Dr. Blower) proceeded to JKadavu soon afte» the murder of Mr. A. Underwood, by Tanna men, to enquire into the case. Whilst there he cauced one of the murderers to be appre hended, but the other one succeeded in making bis escape into the bush. The chief has, how ever, promised to get the fellow within about a week, and to forward him to JLevaka. The Harriet, cuter, brought the one man to Levuka, and Dr. Brower ha 3 requested Batvr Mcli to keep him in safe custody until | the second man reaches here, when both will be tried." We observe that Lieut. Woods is being employed to survey the Nanuku passage JPifi Islands. Mr. Woods has had great experience in surveys, and a better men could hardly ! have been selected for the purpose.
