ENGLAND'S AGREEMENT WITH RUSSIA.

CAUSE OF AMADEUS'S ABDICATION.

(PER Java CABLE.)

LONDON,

*' m, -. February 13 The official correspondence in relation'to central Asia has been laid before Parliament, and concludes with a despatch from Prince Gortchaooff dated 31st_January, from which .appears that the differences between the Governments of England and Russia related to Badakshan and Wakshan, in the Khanabe of Coodooz, which Russiaregarded as enjoy.no a certain independence. Considering,' how ever, the difficulty 0 f establishing the fact and especially not wishing to give the question an exaggerated importance, Russia would not refuse to accept the boundary line Earl Granville laid down. R ussia reHes hopefuU on England to use her influence to induce the rulers to maintain a peaceful attitude, and to reimquish measures of aggression.

February 14. Mr Gladstone lias introduced the Dublin University Bill, promised j inj the Queen's speech. It emancipates the University from the control of Trinity College, and bestows upon it the revenue of Trinity and others funds derived from ecclesiastical pro perty. Various colleges are to be incor porated with the University, which is to have a governing body of twenty-eight members, chosen irrespective of religion. The cause of the abdication of the Spanish throne by King Amadeus is sa id to be a question relative to the maintenance of artillery.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

«Be-oreP. A. Philips, Esq., Mayor, R.M.) DRUNKENNESS.

. Nine individuals were brought up this riorning charged with being drunk on Saturday night, and dealt with in the usual way. LARCENY. James Kelly was charged with stealing a pair of boots, value 16s, the property of John Benjamin Smith, of Auckland, on Sunday. Mr Bvoham stated that Mr Smith left his boots down stairs yesterday morning, and upou returning to his room, his boots were goije. It was found that they had been so,id by the prisoner to a person living in (Jhancery lane. Three months' imprisonment with hard labour. VAGRANCY. Ellen Whitaker was brought up charged under the Vagrancy Act of 1866 with being an incorrigible rogue and common prostitute, and behaving in a riotous and disorderly manner in Queen-street on Saturday last. Prisoner pleaded guilty to being riotous, but said she was neither a rogue nor a vagabond. His Worship said it would be useless giving prisoner a short sentence, as she would be here again shortly. She must be imprisoned for six months' with hard labour. BAD WORDS. Bartholomew Conway was charged with using threatening language towards Maria Conway, his wife, on Friday last. Mr Broham stated that some time ago the ' accused met with a severe accident in the j head, and when under the influence of liquor he was like a madman, j

Maria Conway, a respectable - looking woman, deposed th?^ on Friday last her husband came ho- Q e i n a dreadful state, and broke up all f^g furniture and crockeryware, and swore sn e should have a home no longer. He als; u threatened to take her life.

J_er husband said his wife irritated him, v*nd called him unpleasant names. His Worship said this was one of those un fortunate cases where it was evident the poor man was almost mad when under the influence of drink, in consequence partly of his accident. He should therefore remand the case until to-morrow, that the mental condition of the accused may be investigated. ASSAULT. William Webb, a respectable looking man, appeared on remand, charged with assaulting James Henry Evans and Henry Festing, on the 22nd instant. Messrs Evans and Festing stated that the prisoner, who bore a good character, having apologised, they wished to withdraw the charge. The case was accordingly dismissed. This was all the business.

DISTRICT COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thos. Beckham, Esq., District Court

Judge.) The usual bi-monthly sitting of this Court was held this morning, and the following cases disposed of : — BANK OF AUSTRALASIA V. MOORE. Clan.., £46 1.3s lid ; amount of over-draft. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for the plaintiffs. There was no appearance on the part of the defendant. Counsel applied to have the case placed at the bottom of the list, as the witnesses for the plaintiff had not arrived. Agreed to. IN RE MURPHY'S HILL GOLD MINING COMPANY. Mr J. B. Russell made an application to I wind up the affairs of this company upon a petition from creditors. r There was no opposition, and an order was granted to wind up; order to take effect twenty-one days from date. BANK OF AUSTRALASIA V. MOORE. This case was proceeded with, and, to prove the case, Mr Bennett, solicitor, deposed that the defendant had admitted to him that the amount claimed was due to the bank, and that he endeavoured to negotiate a settlement between the parties. Clement Winter, accountant at the Bank of Australasia, deposed that since the defen dant had admitted the claim the amount had not been paid to the bank. Judgment was given to the plaintiff. SAME V. MOUNT. This was the same claim as the last, the defendant being sued as a partner to the previous defendant. Mr J. B. Russell applied to allow the case to stand over for a fortnight, which was granted. MACFARLANE V. COOK. This was a claim for £100, damages for trespass. , Mr James Russell appeared for tbe plaintiff; Mr Hesketh for the defendant. Counsel for the plaintiff applied for an adjournment in the following grounds :— Major Mair, an officer of the Colonial Go vernment, and Resident Magistrate at

Alexandra had been subpomaed to attend as a witness, his expenses also being for"! S3 tri tti u,,pffina in -*KS flippant tel but had SGnt a I official -1 • rt'am U1 reP ly' stating that his I p. kitties would not allow him to attend. _c Would, therefore, ask that Major Mair j be called upon his subpoena, after which he would apply for an adjournment, and take other action in reference to the witness. The usher of the Court then called W. G. Mair, who failed to appear. Mr Hesketh stated that he was not pre- I pared to resist his learned friend's applica j tion ; at the same time, he would like to know what the witness would be called to prove, as perhaps he would be prepared to admit the same.

Mr James Eussell said that Major Mair was the witness to the execution of a deed, which was now disputed. Mr Hesketh said the adjournment would be a serious inconvenience to his client, who was here at great expense with his witnesses. Alter some discussion an adjournment was agreed ror one month. Mr Hesketh would like to know what security he had for costs, as the party suing was a married woman. Mr J. Russell replied that she had a pro tection order, aud had a right to sue in her own name.

The case was adjourned for one month, with costs ot adjournment to defendant—£l6 2s.

_ HILL BEOS. V. CJ. IS. I__VE.RH, . J : his was an action in trover, in which the piamtiffs claim a sum of £27 17s. Mr J. B Russell for the plaintiffs, and Mr -brookfield for the defendant. An adjournment until next Court day was SiV°.J? c'f? een the Parties with the consent of the Court.

LTJNDON V. KAKATI. This was claim of £90 13s 6d for goods alleged to have been supplied. Mr Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr James Eussell for the defendant. His Honor suggested that the case should be settled without the intervention of the Court, to which the plaintiff dissented, and the case proceeded. The claim, according to the bill of particu lars, consisted of cash lent, clothes! and sundry articles supplied, and two horses sold by the plaintiff to the defendant. _ Ihe plaintiff, John Lundon, was examined m proof of the claim. He deposed that the defendant Makoare Kapati had a credit at his store, and was supplied with the articles as stated on the account. -He had. had a conversation -with the defendant in reference to the amount owing, and he had promised to pay when he went to the Thames. He also sold him, in July, 186S, a black mare for £30, which was a fair price. In July, 1866, Makoare came to him and said he wanted to buy two horses at Mr BucMand's sale, and had no money to pay for them. Plaintiff agreed to allow the two horses to be purchased in his name. He had since been charged by Mr Buckland with two sums for the horses bought, namely, £9 10s and £31 10s. He also became re sponsible to Mr Sheehan for a sum of £10 ss, advanced to Makoare to pay his exj>enses in attending the Native Land Court. The defendant had paid him £10 on account of the two horses.

Mr John Sheehan, solicitor, corroborated a portion of plaintiff's evidence, and proved that in a former action, in this Court, defendant had admitted some of these claims.

Several other witnesses were examined, and council having addressed the 'court his Honor said he would take time to consider the evidence and give judgment on the next Court-day.

This was all the business

When 'Spector Goldie's not about, And no policemen pass ; I let my dumb companion out, To get a bit o'grass." His Worship, " What have you to say?" And then he made a pause ; Then said, "Your cattle must not stray Against our sacred laws." " Alas ! your Worship, my poor cow ! I know your Worship's kind ; When lie replied, " No blarney now, You know you must be fined. But as this is your firstoffence. And not a heinous crime ; The Court will find you eighteenpence, And costs as well this time.
