EXPECTED ROBBERY ON BOARD.

M OF £2,000 WORTH OF IjOS JEWELLERY.

May Howard, an actress of acknow *, fint-wte talent, is a passenger by the Iws* 1 <«,«■ «omes with a full company. W. Collier, to play for a •"* in Auckland. It is so long since a troupe came to Auckland, fjI'our visitors are therefore the "r^cMisternation was created on board «,* Hero last Sunday morning, when if s g owa rd discovered that the whole of ?!? jewellery, amounting to nearly £2,000 i r {h had been abstracted from her jewel The lady had last seen it safe at ita hotel where she was staying in Sydney Lo hours before leaving, when she placed the gems in the casket herself, and deposited that m a leather reticule. On the vessel's arrival this morning the police were commu nicated with, and Detective Jeffrey made a search, without however, discovering the valuable missing articles. The loss is the more to be deplored, inasmuch as the various ornaments were mainly testimonials presented to Miss May .Howard in the different places irhere she has played. The jewels are nearly ill brilliants of the first water.

THE NEW DRAMATIC COMPANY.

It will have been noticed that a new drama no company, under engagement to Mr Delias, have arrived in this city by the Hero, from Sydney ; and will commence a series of splendid dramas and comedies as early as possible, of which, due notice will he given. Mr Collier, a gentleman well-known *n this city, and who has long striven in favour of the popular drama, will be at the head of affairs. The members of this company have won a good reputation in Australia and New South Wales. The Melbourne and Sydney journals say they are the best company that lave appeared in those representative cities. These artistes are all new to the people of .New Zealand, with the exception of Mr Aveling. Thecompany includes besides Miss May How ard) and Messrs. Harry Douglass, Holloway, Saville, Sweeney, and Stai-ke, Mrs. C. Jones, who represents the old woman to the life, and is said to be unequalled in this special impersonation ; Miss Patty Holt, the great character actress ; and Sam Poole, the origi nal comedian. The company will open with " The Wandering Heir," which had a lengthened run in Melbourne, and was a favourite for about 600 nights at one of the leading London theatres. Mr Kemp, the well-known scenic artist, is now on his way from the South, and will, on arrival, be en gaged on new scenery for this and other dramas in preparation.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Maori news scarce. Trying to find some dag to eat, and preventing the pheasants om destroying their com crops keeps them iaUy employed. They will, however, soon lave plenty of potatoes, when talk will again lie the order of the day.

Already some dozen of Te Kuti natives «c down country invitiDg their friends to a meeting, to be held there in March next.

Tawhiao has been rusticating for some time past at Kawhia. He is now on his way re tarning, and is expected at Pekanui near here to day.

There is great mortalily just now amongst the native children. It appears to be a kind of low fever. When taken with it they refuse all sustenance, so there are few recoveries.

GRAHAMSTOWN. (Prom our own Correspondent,) This day.

II A letter from his Honor the Supermten pt to the secretary of the Thames annual W, intimates that should other engage **n s not p'event him he wi)l be present at "6 Thames during the races. Good progress is being made with, the wwf extension, which is now out 60 feet. The Golden Calf crushing of 12 tons yielded « ounces.

The Loyalty trial of 25 tons gave 5 ounces. A few specimens were not included in the "rushing. ■ The Dauuntless Tribute started crushing {Way, and have a good rich paddock of •tone.

The Queen of Beauty crushing is showing JP well, and will have another lich yield on "turday. The new reef in the Vanguard working Foyes to be in the Queen of Thames ground, !"« will pass through aSportion of the Van "fo the Bird in Hand. At the Police court to-day the case against flortou, for breach of the Friendly Society's m,was withdrawn., natiTes aesem'bled at Pukateawairaha .? Tuesday to discuss the Ohinemuri ques-

*c Moananui strongly advised the natives ,w to sp?ak. but to leave the matter in the "Jm of himself and Te Hira. A Jong discussion then took place between ■oeaha to Wharekoheie, Mataia, Moananui, *"} to'Mackay. J!j c Moanauui, in addressing Mr Mackay, .. '■ You have your guns, powder, caps, Vn' v ° not care for tßat* * bave given J°i those lands outside for your goods, and Wat is all. Mr Mackay replied " What is this about ttß. powder, etc. I thought our warfare Jr to be confined to a war of words, and «rtona Uea were to be the weapons ;if you JP* talking; about those things, I can 11 you »t once that I am not; afraid of you deaftr,lrasaid: Theraihana has given the been • wto every Place- That which has given up outside in the daylight ought footo* • P ayment- This is asked for.

"lackay then called on Ngatikoi. UteLf^P a Baharnhi said that he never *2iw to ca3t his debts on anyother Place 14 wunemuri. He had no interest else

where. (When Te Hira found how Te Kepa was shaping he got up and left the meeting attended by the "array of 1" Horopapera j Jhen le Moaranui tried to bounce the Itgatikoi, but Mr Mackay said that he need not try to dictate to him, and turning to Ngatikoi, he said,"Ngatikoi, you and yonr land are here. Fear not Te Moananui, but trust to me."

Hoare Te Mimiha then started to speak, but Te Moananui, Mere Titia, and Tarera nui tried to put him down. Then addressing Mr Mackay, they said, "If you side with Ngatikoi, take them with you. Take them away." Then followed a general shindy. Hopihona sided with Ngatikoi, and things got pretty warm. Te Moananui was dancing mad, and gave vent to his feelings in no measured terms. When he had finished, Mr Mackay took no notice of what he had said, but simply called on the Whakatohea to speak.

Pineaha te Wharekohai said he took the responsibility on himself for what had been done by Te Whakatohea. If others gave up land here in payment of their debts he would do the same. The Whokatohea debt was not large. He called on others of the tribe to speak sensibly iv reference to the matter ia hand.

Paraone to Maupu said that formerly Ngatitamatera had not been willing to allow him to share with them outside. Now he did not want to do so. He had an ancestor there through whom he could claim. He now said that his land was here in Ohine muri, and against that land would his debt be charged. He was fully determined on the point, and would say no more. Te Moananui again tried to change their determination, and then he and Mr Mackay went at it again. Tareranui and Mere Titia joined in, and after some discussion Mr Mackay told the natives that he would proclaim Ohinemun opened to the miners. He would withdraw his former prohibition, and call upon the miners to come and take possession Te Moananui's people and the Kiriwera then got up to go, and Mr Mackay told them that they had to thank themselves for what he had done. If they had met him fairly he would have gone into the matter quietly. Who cared for their displeasure ?

Wi Kolca then got up and said that he would now state openly that he gave up Ohinemuri. (He threw down a stick as a symbol, and Mr Mackay picked it up) Mataia followed suit, and exchanged his tewhatewha for Mr Mackay's whip. After the meeting, Mr Mitchell and several other Europeans waited on Mr. Mackay, and asked whether they were to consider Ohine miiri opened ?— Mr. Mackay replied that they would have to wait until he proclaimed the fact; in English before taking action. Be would state, however, that if Te Moananui and others persisted in refusing to meet him fairly and settle their just debts he would have no further consideration for them, but would proceed to act on the strength of the docii ments in his possession. Afterwards, addres sing the natives, he said he would claim to the eastward of a line running from the present boundary at Kurere, keeping along the base of the hills, and skirtiDg the Komata and Paeroa bocks, then passing the settlements and crossing the Ohinemuri River above them, then running by Rotokohu and cross ing the end of the range to the Waihou River, excepting the Waihi and Mataora settlements on the East Coast.

The rest of the day was occupied by the natives in discussing minor matters.

Things have now reached a crisis

Te Moananui started for Auckland on horse back last night with the intention to see the Government.

Mr Mackay has also left for Auckland,

Most of the natives who are willing to open the country, wish to do so on the same terms as now existing on the Thames, miners rights &c.

The Thames: Advertiser this morning asks

—"Will the Government back Mr Mackay in the step he has taken, or carry the matter further than he appears to have done ? Mr Mackay says he will take for gold mining the land from Kurere, the present boundary of the goldneld beyond Hikutaia, along the base of the hills, leaving the natives in pos session of the whole of the flat lands. We have very serious doubts whether Ohinemuri is worth having on these terms."

WELLINGTON,

(From ©ur own Correspondent.) This day.

Mr Smyth, Madame Goddard's agent, is on his way to Auckland per Phoebe to make arrangements for giving concerts there. At her opening concert last night in Christ church hundreds of people were turned from the door.

Mr Allen's English Opera Company is try ing Timaru. The next "show" of any consequence likely to visit New Zealand is the Rev. Charles Clark, as preacher, lecturer, orator, and humourist. He is a perfect pulpit pet. The Wellington people are getting a little excited about their water supply, which is said to be running short. It is used for all sorts of purposes, from watering streets to running every variety of machinery. The Fost condemns the action of Mr. Pass more regarding the railway employes, and says if permitted to carry out such a system of economy in Auckland he must not try it here. Mr. Moorhouse addressed a meeting last night, and made a capital speech, which pro duced an exceedingly favourable impression as a candidate for the Mayoralty. The Strathnaver case was remanded again yesterday. It is understood that the City Council have agreed to buy the reclaimed land from the Provincial Government.

The following are the entries for the Wai rarapa races t ; —Maiden Plate—Princess Mary, Nanakid, Pretender, Policy, Hatfer, Warrior. Wairarapa Stakes—Premier, Voltaire, Tam bourini, Little Wonder, Phoenix. Ladies' Purse — Premier, Tommy Dodd, Little Wonder, Phoenix, Lady Gray. Hurdle Race—Tommy Dodd, New Zealander, Comet. Jockey Club Piate—Premier, Voltaire, Tam bourine, Little Wonder, and Pheenix.

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Conveyancing under the Land Transfer Act is found to be a snare

Yesterday's telegram re trout fishing is liable to misconception. The total weight of the heaviest catch was 13 lbs. The heaviest single catch a pound. The vexed question —whether trout here will rise to an artificial fly, was successfully tried at the Water of Leith and Stag river. Mr Stevens is exhibiting his patent paddle wheels to leading professional men here, who have expressed their approval of the design. The Guardian calls attention to the judg ment of Judge Gwynne, of South Austt alia, and its effects to the title to property under the Land Transfer Act, notwithstanding ex pressed legislation providing against invali dation of the title, in consequence of any fraud or error. Judge Gwynne decided that the fraud vitiates a contract of s&.le and pur chase or mortgage. The Choral Society's second concert drew a crowded audience, but the performance was weak owing to the paucity of singers. Mr Newberry, of Auckland, took the leading part, and was well received.

! Mr Reynolds addresses his constituents next week.

The Jockey Club meeting ksb rdsht was very stormy. There was so great an interest in the matter that the stewards adopted the unusual course of asking reporters to attend Goodman the jockey, Dodson the starter aud Marshall, one of the stewards, declared distinctly that Mabel was wilfully pulled ATi, Mitchelson, the jockey who rode Mabel, declares he never pulled her. He supposed she got frightened, and it was an accident. He had never been told by airy - oiw to pull her in, and had no interest in ]°Sm- g ' as he had won, it would have been ±45 in his pocket. Captain Hutcheson, the owner of Mabel, said inferentially that the Pro*? st arose out of spite. He added: Mitchelson has lost his reputation by stupid riding, and lost me my money, but I Still think him honest. You all go at me like a 'parcel of curs.'" Two stewards jumped up, asking if the epithet was applied to them. Hutcheson replied, to persons out side that the mares losing made a difference of £250 to him. He objected to the protest as being lodged too late. Weston, book maker, gave some curious evidence for the resolution of the disqualification of the jockey. Four voted for his disqualification and three against. Messrs Cutten, Downes, and Hutcheson voting. The question of dis qualifying Hutcheson's mare will likely be carried if Hutcheson himself does not vote as one of the stewards. It is too late to get at the mare or her owner. Hutcheson declared that the adjournment of the question was an insult to him, and resigned the vice-presi dency. The meeting broke up amid recrimi nation.
