MISS ROSE EVANS AT THE PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The performance at the theatre last night consisted of the production, for the first time in Auckland, of Tom Taylor's celebrated historical play "'Twixt Axe and Crown." The occasion Avas marked as a benefit to Miss Eo.se Evans, and we were glad to see so large im uidience present. The fair heneficiaire, of c .urse, sustained the part of the Lady Elizabeth, and drew a portrait of the unhappy young princess marked by the utmost grace, delicacy, and refinement, and displaying great histrionic poAvers. We have not space to refer particularly to the salient points of a performance which run in London for over three hundred nights. W Te may state, however, that the famous soliloquy in the fourth act (in Avhich, whilst immured and awaiting death amidst the gloom of night, in the Beauchamp chamber of the Tower, the Lady Elizabeth conjures up visions of those who had passed through that apart ment to the block) AA ras given Avith a thrilling effect that completely electrified the audience. Mr Joyce appeared as Gardiner, the intriguing Bishop of Winchester, and gave a vivid por trait of that cold-blooded and sinister prelate. Mr B. N. J ones personated Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devonshire, with much ability and effect, and was warmly commended. A special Avord of praise is due to Mrs Walter Hill, whose Queen Mary was remarkably good. Mr W. Ryan, as Simon Eenard, the Spanish Ambassador, also deserves warm commendation. Valuable aid was rendered by Mrs Ryan (Isabel Markham), Mrs Joy6e (Duchess of Norfolk), Miss May (Mignon), Mr W. Hill (Sir John Harrington), Mr Aveling (Sir John Bridges), and the rest of the company. Great credit is due for the manner in Avhich the play has been mounted. Miss Rose Evans, of course, met Avith a very cordial reception, and was frequently called before the curtain to receive the floral offerings of the admiring audience. This celebrated drama will be produced again to-night.

CHORAL HALL.

Another entertainment of a very interesting nature Avas given last evening in the Choral Hall iv aid of the school-building fund in connection Avith the parish of St. Sepulchre. Although tlie Aveather was not highly favour able, the large hall Avas completely filled. The performances Avere divided into tAvo parts ; the first part consisted of glees, songs, duets, and readings; and the second part of that lively farce, "A Regular Fix," which delighted the audience. Mr Browne, conductor of the Choral Society, presided at the pianoforte with his Avonted ability. The proceedings opened Avith a glee, '' How Can a Bird Help Singing" (F. Abt), was well executed ; "My Molly Asthore " Avas next given in a very pleasing and appropriate manner; then f olloAved a humourous reading,'' Pray Employ Major Namby" (from the pen of Wilkie Collins), Avhich was veiy fairly rendered, and received due applause. The pretty senti mental ballad, " When the Silver Moon is Beaming," was sang with taste and feeling ; selections from Belline's "La Sonnambula " were also admirably. The audience was then treated to a reading by Mr Pierce, given in genuine Hibernian style, from the Avritings of Samuel Lover, entitled "Rory's Present to the Priest," which elicited roars of laughter. The favourite duet from Maritana, " Sainted Mother, "by tAvo lady members of the Choral Society, was loudly encored ; as also was the touching song of " Margaretta,"by a gentleman amateur, who gave, on being encored, another of his favourite airs. The " Legend of Pdiampsinitus (Heroditus) ap peared to have been well read j but Avas not distinctly heard on account of some ill mannered youths Avhose discordant noises interfered with the proceedings of the evening. These disturbances were made by three or four apparently respectable young men, but who were evidently deficient in taste and manners. The Rev Mr Dudley endeavoured to put a stop to the fooleries of these disturbers of public harmony; and who, according to their merits, ought to have been put out and whipped, and in which Aye would gladly have taken a part. The entertainment concluded with a "Regular Fix," in which several amateurs appeared in suitable costume. Altogether it was a capital evening's pleasure, and in financial respects most agreeable to the feelings of its pro moters.

POLICE COURT.

THIS DAY. [Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.] LARCENY.

Richard Finlay was charged by LaAvrence Christopher with stealing a watch worth twenty-five shilings. The prisoner pleaded guilty, but in consi deration of his previous good character the Court sentenced him to only two months' im prisonment with hard labor. BREACH OF BY-LAAV. R. J. White, forleavinghis cart unattended, was fined one shilling and costs. THREATENING LANGUAGE. John Wynn was charged by Ellen Wynn, his laAvful wife, Avith using threatening language towards her. PIMr Joy defended. |In reply to a question from the Bench as to whether it was possible to settle the matter Mr Joy said that he could not understand the case. Both parties had, up to a few minutes ago, appeared friendly enough, and were living together. He believed the case arose out of a family dispute. Oil the husband promising not to molest his Avife the latter, on the recommendation of the Bench, agreed to take him along home with her, and the case was dismissed. This was all the business.

SPEAK GENTLY.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir, —With reference to the late lamentable .death of poor Cazali I would say that Auck land has her share of outspoken men (learned and illiterate) who you know are proverbial for being pests to society, and as lam a regular subscriber to your valuable paper, I beg your will kindly insert (for the benefit of whom it may concern) the following verses by Bates :— Speak gently— Speak gently—it is better far To rule by love than fear ; Speak gently—let no harsh words mar The good we might do here ! Speak gently, kindly to the poor, Let no harsh tone be heard ; They have enough, they must endure Without an unkind word. Speak gently to the aged one, Grieve not the care-worn heart; The sands of life are nearly run, Let such in peace depart. Speak gently, 'tis a little thing Dropp'd in the heart's deep well; The good, the joy, which it may bring Eternity shall tell, Vulcan,

THE NA NOBA APPEAL CASE.

j This appeal, which has been so long a time pending, came finally lefore the j Court yesterday, u'hen, after Mr Hesketh was heard in support of the jidgment in' the District Court, that judgnent was re versed with cost?. The case, on appeal, was not settled by counsel, iut stated and settled by Mr Beckham. It was very difficult to determine th< points upon which the opinion of the. Supreme Court ! was desired, and in the argument both j counsel and court were olliged to resort to matter dehors the case itself in order to make the case intelligible. The prin cipal points in dispute were two —whether justly the umpire for the Auokland regatta had jurisdiction to decide the question of the Na Noba's tonnage, and whether, secondly, his award, which gave the first prize to the Na Noba, was final and conclusive. The wholeargument, which lasted nearly three days, turned upon the second question. A race was run at the last Auckland regatta, in which, amongst other vessels, the Na Noba. the Dauntless, and the Aurora took part. After the race the umpire declared the Na Noba the winner of the first prize by time To this the Dauntless objected, and gave in a protest against the Na Noba, stating that she was a yachtjjand not a trading vessel, and therefore disqualified. The Aurora al?o objected on the same ground, and also on the ground that the Na Noba was under thirty tons register, and there fore disqualified. The umpire decided, after both protests, that the Na Noba was the winner, and the first prize was given to her. The present respondent, Moller, then brought his action in the District Court against the Regatta Committee, the present appellants, to recover the first prize, on the ground that the Na Noba, being under thirty tons register, was never in the race, and therefore the award of the umpire was bad. Judgment was given in the District Court for the plaintiff with costs, and from that judgment the defendants appealed. There was evidence given, but objected to, that the Na Noba was only twenty tons register, and also of the knowledge of the plaintiff of that fact before the race and before the determination of the umpire. Mr J. B. Russell, with him Mr Rees, for the appellants, the Regatta Committee ; Mr Hesketh for the respondent, Moller. The appellants' counsel contended that the decision of the umpire was final, and that although the umpire in his his evidence said that the fact of the under-tonange of the Na Noba was not submitted to him, jet that be did decide that in giving his award ; also, that the respondent had waived the objection to the tonnage if any objection existed. Also, that he had, with the committee, submitted the matter to the umpire, who had decided against him ; also, that the objection on the ground of under-tonnage was not tenable; and, lastly, that the respondent could not recover against the committee, who were stake-holders, without shewing that they had the verdict of the umpire in his favor, or that it was impossible to obtain that verdict; and that, as the decision of the umpire was against him, he was forever barred. They quoted the case of the Flying Cloud, " Evans v. Pratt, 3 M., and G. 761 ; Brown v. Overbury. 11 Ex 715 ; Benbon v. Jones, 14 M., and W. 195 ; Parr v. Winteringham, 28 L. J., Queen's Bench 123 ; Carr v. Martinson, 28 L. J., 2 8., 125 ; Walmsley v. Matthews, 3 M,, and G. 133; Goldsmith v. Martin, 4 M.,, andG-.5; and Russell on awards. Res pondent contended that the umpire had no jurisdiction, and that he had not decided the question of tonnage, without which the Na Noba was not in the race, and therefore could have no prize; that the umpire expressly stated that he had not decided the question ; also, that if he had decided that question, although upon Aveak or insufficient grounds, that his decision would then have been final. He quoted Sadler v. Smith, 38 L„ J. 2, B. 90, and Dines v. Wolfe, Privy Council Appeals ; Weller v. Deakin, 2 G._ and P. 618 ; and some of the cases quoted by the appel lants. Chief Justice Arney, without calling upon the appellants to reply, gave judg ment.

This case presents very grave difficul ties by the way in which it is transmitted to this Court, the judge of the District Court having, as it seems, not settled the case "after it had been drawn by counsel, but having drawn aud settled it himself. The question, however, with which I feel inclined to deal, and which seems to me to involve the real merits of the appeal is the one as to whether' the decision of the umpire in a matter of this description where he has jurisdiction is or is not final. There can be no doubt that in cases like this a party coming to a Court to recover the stakes from the stakeholder must be prepared to prove one of two things; Ist. That he has got the decision of the umpire in his favor. 2nd. That tbe um pire was no longer in a position to give him a verdict, Here the plaintiff' falls short in both points. In racing and sport ing matter the umpire is not an ordinary umpire or arbitrator, but is a person selected by all parties to give upon the spot a rough and speedy justice, and from whose decision if the event has come off upon which his decision was to be given is to be final and conclusive, irrespective of any law save that which, under the circumstances, seems to him to be just. All the cases quoted—and they seem to exhaust the authorities upon the subject—run in one groove, and are con clusive as to the power of the umpire to adjudicate without appeal, and they show that where that decision has been once given the Courts of law will not disturb them. The two cases mainly relied on by the respondent do not touch the question before this Court, In both those cases the event upon which the umpire was to award never happened. In " Saddler v. Smith," it is distinctly laid down that the judgment of the umpire was wrong, because there never was a race at all, and so there was nothing upon which the umpire could decide. Before he could have jurisdiction there must be a race, and in '* Saddler v. Smith" there was no race. So in " Weller v. Deakin." But in this case it is idle to contend there was no race. The boats were entered ; they took up their positions ; they startad ; they ran, and then claimed the prize s which had been offered. It is clear, therefore, that Mr Niccol, the umpire, had jurisdiction to award the stakes. But it is said he could not award

the stakes to the Na Noba without first deciding that she was of proper ton nage, and he says that question was not submitted to him. I do not think so. The fact of her tonnage might or might not be one ground of disqualification if it had been proved before the umpire, and he had chosen to disqualify upon it, If he had done so and given the first prize to the Dauntless there would have been no appeal from that any more than there is from the decision he actually gave. But I think he did decide it. How else could he place the three first vessels. If, as it is so strongly urged, he knew of the registered tonnage of the Na Noba, how could he possibly have given her the first prize without deciding this question. It may be that the argu ment of the appellants as well as the judg ment of the umpire is founded upon the alleged custom that smaller boats may rate themselves at a high rate of tonnage in order to qualify themselves for a race. But at any rate the course adopted by the plaintiff, even had the umpire been made aware of the tonnage of the Na Noba, would have led the umpire to believe that the tonnage was of no importance, or that if it were the plaintiff had waived it. But is said that he raised it by the protest of the Aurora. Then, if he did. the umpire decided it, because he could not have placed the Aurora third with out deciding that very question. Had the same case and evidence been raised before me I should have held that the umpire had decided the point, and that his judgment was binding upon the parties. I think the umpire had juris diction to decide this point, and the main point also, as to who won the stakes, and I am of opinion that he did decide it. I have not entered into the other questions which the appellants desired to raised, No doubt, as argued by Mr Russell, when a judge of an inferior court himself settles a case on appeal, the parties against whom he has given judgment cannot be shut up by the questions which it pleased him to put, but the Court of Appeal will see what questions material to the decision of the case itself, and of the points at issue between the parties, appear upon tbe face of the proceedings, and will decide, if necessary, upon all. Here it is not necessary —this c|uestion being decided the case is decided. lamat a loss to sco to see how the learned judge in tho Court below could arrive at the decision which he gaA re. The judgment of the Court will be that the decision in the District Court be reversed, and the respondent pay the costs of this appeal.
