near the meridiaa in a more easterly direction and at an altitude of about 70° in the bright Btar Spica, in the constellation Virgo. Imme diately above this star are the constellations Corvus and Crater, the latter being on the meridian at this hour. The star Cor Hydra ■will be found about half-way on an imaginary line drawn from Procjon to tbe more southerly stars, forming the constellation Crater. The Southern Cross is but 30m east of the meridian, a Centauri following at a distance of 16° to the east. This star is a very noted double and is easily divided by a telescope. The bright star Canopus hag passsed the meridian, and is about half-way between that point and the S.W. horizon, while the bright star Achenar has an altitude of only 8 ° above the S.S.W. point, coming to ita lowest cul mination at 9 p.m. TJ^phenomena of Jupiter's Satellites are fcc.c^pig leBS interesting, owing to the mil'fflnity of the sun.

THIS DAY. (Before J.|M. Dargaville, Esq., and T. Ritchie, Esq., J.JP.s.) DBTXNKENNESS. Three drunkards were punished as usual. VAGRANCY. John Carroll was charged with a breach of the Vagrant Act by behaving in a manner likely to provoke a breaoh of the peace.— Fined twenty shillings and oosts, or 48 hours' imprisonment. LARCENY. Joseph McDonald alias Hanley was charged on remand with stealing a gold walch, valued at £6 10s ; a gold chain, value £9 153 ; a gold locket, value £3 ; do do £2 5s ; a pair of gold earrings, value £2 15s do do J63 ; do do, £4 10s; a diamond ring, value £10; do do £5; do do £5 ; a gold brooch, value £7 10s, and a gold neglige, value £1 15s. Total: £64 10s, the property of Miss Cook. ' j

Mr Bennett defended the prisoner, who pleaded not guilty. Eliza Cook, a single woman, residing at Market; Square, deposed as follows: On Sun day morning last the prisoner was at my house when a woman named Harriet Roberta brought the articles enumerated in the charge with her,,,and deposited them in a " whatnot;'" standing in my room. I saw them there myself about half an hour afterwards. The prisoner was in my bedroom at the time. I went to sleep shortly after, and woke up about one o'clock. The prisoner agreed to take me for a drive. I then missed the articles, and asked the prisoner for them. He said he had sot taken them, but accused Mrs. Eoberts of taking them. We then went for a drive to Onehunga. and I continued to request the prisoner to return me the things, and he still repeated his former assertion. We returned home about half-past six, and I spoke to Mrs. Eoberts, the prisoner went away. I then communicated with Detective Jeffrey, and the prisoner sub sequently returned to my house ; but etill persisted in denying any knowledge of the jewellery. Detectives Jeffrey and Ternahan arrived, and charged prisoner with the robbery. We all went towards the station together, and the prisoner then offered me £50, and to return my things if I would withdraw from the charge. The whole of articles produced are my property ; the neglige is not among the lot. Tne rings produced were in a box by them selves in another room. I had previously lent the jewellery to Harriet Roberts, and she returned them on the Sunday morning. I first became acquainted with the accused on on Friday Jast.

To Mr. Bennett: The prisoner was pefectly sober when he came to my house; he had some thing to drink while there. I had no suspicion of his dishonesty. , The " whatnot " (so called by the witness, but in reality a work box table) has been broken open. The prisoner saw Mrs. Roberts place the jewellery in the tabls, but I do not know how he came to know of the diamond rings in the box. The prisoner stayed with me from Friday until Sunday. The value of the property is £64 10s. Harriet Roberts, a married woman, residing next door to the prosecutrix, corroborated her evidence. [Left sitting.]
