In objecting to the petition from Mr Mac farlane against Mr Yon der Feyde's election yesterday, Mr Reader Wood said that the petition was informal, and read from the Election Petition Act to show that the re quired formalities had not been complied with. The House decided on the voices not to receive the petition. INSPECTION OF MACHINERY. When this Bill was being considered Mr O'Neill endeavoured to introduce a clause limiting the day's work of engine-drivers and others in charge of machinery to eight hours, but this was defeated by 23 to 5. COLLECTION OF HIGHWAY RATES. Mr Sheehan moved that the law regarding the sale of land for non-paymenc of rates was unsatisfactory, and that the Government should draw up a measure during recess to facilitate the collection of rates. He was supported by Mr J. E. Brown and Major Atkinson, who bore testimony to the effect the great expense collecting rates had in retarding settlers, and hoped the Govern ment would consider the matter. Mr McLean said the Government would consider the matter. MR O'RORKE'S RESIGNATION. Upon the House resuming last night the Premier announced that Mr O'Rorke had sent in his resignation to his Excellency, which had been accepted. In the course of some remarks upon the Manawatu and Rangitikei award the Premier informed the House that the Government did not agree with the view of the Speaker a s expressed in his report.

ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY

"La Sonnambula" was performed by this company last night to a fair audience. The cast of characters was the same as on the two previous representations. Miss Alice May portrayed the sleep-walker Amina with the talent she always displays. Her well-ex pressed agony of mind at the suspicions to which her infirmity had laid her open, and her earnest protestations of her innocence, drew warm indications of sympathy from her audience. Mr Hallam's Elvino was life - like and characteristic. This gentleman is fast acquiring an ease and naturalness of deportment on the stage which will be of infinite service to him. Miss Lambert as Lisa, and Mr Eainford as the Count Eudolpho, provoked much applause by their histrionic and vocal efforts. Mr Vernon as Allessio was as usual irresistible in his humorous passages. The beautiful music of the opera was charmingly rendered by the orchestra under Mr Allen's able guidance. To-night the company positively and emphatically announce their last per formance in Auckland. "Martha" is to be the farewell representation, and we shall ex pect to see a crowded house to bid our visitors God speed. The company will appear at the Thames en Saturday night

SUPREME COURT.— Yesterday—

(Centhiued.)

Sittings tn Bankruptcy

(Before His Honor Sir George A. Arney* Knight Chief Justice.) Re Geo. Thorne, Jun.

Joseph Potter, late in the employ of bank rupt, was next examined at some length re specting certain land and property made over to him by Mr Thorne, and as to whether or not it was made over before or after the declaration of bankruptcy. He said the piece of land referred to in the plan is covered in and used as a shed. It was let to him with right of entry at an annual rent. He knew Mr Thorne at that time was in difficulties, and concluded that bankruptcy would follow unless some arrangement was made with his creditors. He' did receive a quantity of resin on the understanding that he was to be accountable to Messrs Cameron and Co., of New York, for the same. He took the goods in good faitb from Mr Thorne, believing his representation that the resin was the property of the said New York firm. He asted as agent of Messrs Tonka and Co. in respeot of some tobacco. There were other goods, which had not ar rived, consigned to John Roberton and Co., which he took possession of, sold, and duly accounted for. The tobacco came by the Queen of the South. He could not specify th» date without the book.

Allen Waterhouse gave evidence regarding a flour transaction, and respecting the manner in which the books of John Roberton and Co. were keDt.

The Couit then adjourned

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Dr. Home and H. Isaacs, Esq., Justices,) DRUNK. John Anderson and John Edwards were accused of being drunk in Queen-street last night. Both pleaded guilty, and were fined 5s and costs with the usual alternative. "William Wilkinson, for being drunk and creating a disturbance in the Prince of Wales Theatre last night, was fined double the amount. INDECENT ASSAULT. P George Wilson was charged with in decently assaulting Thomas Jones on the 14th August, 1874. The prisoner, at the request of Mr Inspector Broham, was remanded till Monday. ELIZA LYNCH. Eliza Lynch was charged with being drunk and disorderly; also, with being an in corrigible rogue and vagabond, and having no lawful means of subsistence. Prisoner pleaded guilty to being drunk, but denied being a rogue and a vagabond. She said she had only just come out of gaol after doiDg twelve months. Dr Home : Well, you seem in a fair way of going back again. .uliza : Oh, no, your Worship ; never no more. Please let me co this time for my child's sake.

Dr Home : You don't seem to have much consideration for your child yourself. Prisoner: I am a married, woman your Worship, and my husband is in good work. Mr. Broham said he was instructed that

prisoner's husband was as bad as herself. The charge was then proved by Sergeant aaunderson and Detective Jeffries. They the prisoner a very bad character. \ ,*f s Pen* nearly all her time in gaol, and 5 ?v cam. c out slie was <*runk till she again. She was a prostitute of

The Bench sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment with hard labour.

ALLEGED LARCENY.

Robert Cox and George Chapman were accused of stealing the sum of £1 18s Sd from the person of John Anderson on the 13th of August.

A remand was asked for by the police, and granted till Monday.

THE DISTURBANCE.—A PLUCKY C'ON'STAIiLE,

Alexander Anderson and Geo. Strongwell, two seamen, were accused of beiDg drunk and disorderly in Queen-street yesterday after noon, and also with assaulting Constable Graham while in the execution of his duty. Prisoners pleaded guilty to the charge of drunkenness, but said they knew nothing of the charge of assault. Constable Graham deposed to being called yesterday by Mr Grattan to turn the priso ners out of his house, the Thames hotel. He told Mr Grattan to turn them out himself. He did so, and as Anderson was very dis orderly, he (witness) went to arrest him, on which he became very violent and struck witness several timfs. Strongwell then came up, and he had all he could do to maintain his hold of the prisoner Anderson till assist ance came. He asked Mr Grattan to go or send for assistance, but he refused. Other witnesses were called, but did not answer, and the case was remanded for their attendance. The prisoner Anderson was then charged with assaulting Sergeant - Major Pardy by wilfully trying to injure him in a vital part. The offence was proved, and prisoner was sentenced to tho utmost punishment the law allowed, namely: two months'imprisonment with haid labour. ONLY A DOMESTIC SQUABBLE. Elizabeth Nicholson was charged with having committed a breach of the Vagrant Act by using foul and unseemly language within hearing of a public highway, to wit, West Queen-street. Mr Joy appeared for defendant, and said he was instructed that the language was made use of "in the course of a domestic quarrel between defendant and her husband. JUe did not think it was the intention of the Act to interfere in such cases. Mr Breham said the language was most filthy. Their Worships said as it was the first offence they should only inflict a fine of 40s. and costs. A CANDIDATE TOE TIIE ASYLUM. Alice Mills, a miserable looking woman, with a weak whining voice, was accused of being a vagrant and having no lawful means of subsistence. Prisoner said she was not well. She had appliod for admission to the Lunatic Asylum. Mr Broham said there was a doubt as to tho sanity of the prisoner. Her miserable con dition was brought about through drink. Perhaps it would be advisable to remand the case for a doctor to see the accused. This course was adopted, prisoner being remanded till Monday. CITY RATES. E. J. Feltus, Edward Lycet, Francis Pastoway, and John Cox were summoned for non-payment of various amounts of city rates. None of the defendants put in an appear ance, and judgment went against them by i default with costs. A LUNATIC. Grattan Sebastian McCabo was committed to the Lunatic Asylum on the medical testi mony of Dr. Hovell and Dr. Lee. The patient was described as a' receiver of goldfields revenue at Coromandel. This was all the business.

AUCKLAND HARBOUR WORKS BILL.

This bill, which is one of the most import ant Auckland bills of the session, passed its third reading in the Assembly on Tuesday night. It Is now passing through the Upper House. The measure, when it becomes law, will legalise the increase of the Harbour Board loan from £100,000 to £150,000. It also authorises the construction of the Dock as ; agreed upon by the Board, the building of a railway pier at the Breakwater, the reclamation of land from Harding-street to Hobson-street, and the filling in of the intake in Mechanics' Bay, between the railway and the foreshore.

ON SEPARATION—SO-CALLED.

(To the Editor of the Evenino Star.) Sib, —Some modern New Zealanders are, I observe, opposed, from real prejudice, to what for shortness has been commonly called separation, this so designated here with particular reference to the entirely peculiar position of these two island countries, with their respective islet pendants. I am satisfactorily convinced that perfect political separation—the legally constituting these two very different countries into two distinct colonies is now the desideratum, and also that had it been effected when first proposed and agitated, some eight]years ago, affairs here, especially northward, would have been in more than one 'respect vastly better. I need not now amplify and explain, having written largely on this question before. Will only just now add my independent opinion that if the one-sided partial, unfair measure yesterds,y proposed by the' Govern ment be carried, it will be the precursor of a growl deep, if not loud, which must inevitably and will surely and certainly issue in the grand to-be-wished finale. Viewed otherwise than as an instalment of the light and proper the proposed measure must be denounced.—l am, etc., Inde pendent.—Parnell, Tuesday.
