manner in which the second arrest was made, was an irregular proceeding, at least, and may possibly give rise to other complications growing out of the Chronicle and Sun war fare. It is also stated as a suggestive feature of this interesting disturbance, that although the supernumaries of the Sun'were arrested promptly on Saturday evening, no attempt was made to capture Napthaly, the acknow ledged author of the offensive publication, and he was sought after only by those who bad proclaimed a determination to wreak vengeance upon him regardless of law. The difficulty was brought to the attention if theTolice Court this morning, when all the parties arrested for libel by publication in the Sun made an appearance, Fitzgerald having been taken into custody in the Court room. The names of the prisoners were E. F Naphtaly, editor; R F. Fitzgerald, pub lisher; Geo. W. Stevens, H. D. Rowley,: J. E. Kenedy, John Armstrong, Owen Hogan, Edward Cotter, William Axtell, E. L. Robins, W. A Bnshnell, Charles MaClintock oaepbHowe, and J. F. Thrum. The six last named were arrested yester day afternoon, at the time of raid on the office.1, Mr Murphy stated to the Court that he appeared on. behalf of the prosecution, associated with Judge Campbell, who was unable to attend as yet, in consequence of an. engagement in another court. He asked a continuance of the exhaminafcion for that reason, and also on the grounds that several other fjparties connected with the \Sun newspaper were expected to be arrested. Judge Lake, who appeared for the defen dants, intimated that it was the design to waive" examination on all the cases. He questioned the proprsety of the second arrests, before the alleged had actually been re produced, as it appeared to be a violation of rights which were accorded to other news papers. After some discussion of the points in volved, Napthaly and Fitzgerald waived an examination, and were admitted to bail in $3,000 each. The remainder of the cases went over to Thursdoy. Thrum was re leased on $100 bail, the Court being satisfied that he was not connected with the Sun office. The remainder of the printers were held on 5;000 dols. bail.

. ; ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATISN. About half-past two o'clock this afternoon Napthaly left the City Prison, in custody of officer McMahon, for the purpose of procur ing the bail fixed, in his case by the Court. The. two were crossing Sansome-street on California, when; Sus. de Young approached unawares from behind, and when within a few yards he drew a revolver and commenced firing at Napthaly. The prisoner being unarmed, broke and ran from the officer, De Young continuing to fire some four or five shots. He was finally knocked down by a citizen, and then secured by the officer, who conducted him to the City Prison, the affair attracting a great crowd and causing intense excitement. .

A SECOND ATTEMPT TO SLAY. NAPTHALY. Gus de Young having been taken to prison his brothers Charles and Mike of the Chronicle immediately arrived, and were ad mitted tothe prison. Shortly after Napthaly returned in custody of an officer and entered the place. He was, standing in the corner when Mike suddenly approached him with a revolver drawn and cocked, and was on the point of firing when Napthaly started toward the other end of the prison, and before De Young could correct his aim he was throttled by bystanders and the pistol taken from him. > He was also placed under arrest. Charles de Young was then questioned con cerning his designs, and denied having any arms upon his person, but on being searched aloaded pistol was found in his possession. Napthaly and Fitzgerald were placed in the Dew part of the City Prison, as a precaution against any further attempts at assassinating either, _ the ordinary protection of the law not being deemed sufficient as against the Chronicle faction in the fight. THE PRESENT ADJUSTMENT Of this exciting controversy between the Chronicle and Sun is the holding of Gustavus De Young on a charge of assault with intent to murder, and M. H. De Young is charged with assault with deadly weapon. Charles De Young and M. H. De Young are charged with libel, on complaint of R. Napthaly. The arrangement of bail had not been announced up to the publication hour of the Bulletin.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] PACT AND FICTION. A STORY OF YESTERDAY AND TO-DAY. IT happened one fine day that St. Crispin sat smoking his pipe and thinking over the many changes that had taken place since he fashioned the first pair of shoes for Mother Eve. " Ah, said he, we have im proved since then ; and yet I remember how she praised my skill when I took them home, only, she said, ' the heels might have been a little higher.' And, strange to say, that off and on to this day the ladies have made the same complaint. I don't care how high I make the heels, but I don't like to see the dear things with corns and sprained ankles, and that sort of thing. But I suppose—". " Well, old Laps tone," said some one, coming up behind him, and slapping him heartily on the back. " Why, bless my life," said Cris, "if it isn't Daddy Neptune." "Right you are, my boy," said Nep, " but give us a drink, will you, for my throat's as dry as the 'Auckland pumps.' " "Dear me," said Cris, '' and I have nothing in the house but water." "Water," said Nep, and what better could you give me ; why I've never drunk anything else in .my life." "Now that's what I call water, said Nep, as he took a hearty draught." Where do you get it from? "Well, you see, said Cris, I've run very short of water this dry season, but that came from the Western Springs, and I am thinking of laying down pipes and things and getting it from there regular ; it will be a lot of expense, but they tell me, that when its all in Motion that it will never be Low water with me again." " Well, said Nep, I think it's about the best thing you can do, for it's':capital water; but where have you been all this time, why I have never set eyes on you since you brought Mrs. Neps boots home, and that's six months at least. By-the-bye, you'll catch it when she sees you, for leaving the pegs up." "Ah," said Cris, " you forget I'm not one of your restless wandering fellows, but a quiet business man." " Yes, and a fine business you will make of it," said Nep, "if you stick* to it as close as you do, why, you are looking quite \ seedy, you want more fresh air and the long and short of it is old boy that I am out for a holiday and mean to take you with me;" but, said Crisp, I must must be off to work, I've promised some boots1, and you know a shoemaker never breaks his word." " Are they for a lady ?" " No," said Cris. " Then let Jthem await," said Nep. " Just come with me old fellow and I will shew you some people who never wear boots are shoes at all." "Dear me," said Cris, how shocking. "Do you mean to tell me that there are at the present day people who have not availed themselves of my art ?" "I say it and mean it, said Nep." " Well I can hardly believe it said Cris, but as you say, I think that a little fresh air would do me no harm, and I really think that something ought to be done for these people. But who are they ?" "Oh, theres lots of them, said Nep, but we will go and see some they call 'Maories away m the South Pacific." "Pacific, said Cris, that sounds pretty: quiet, but the^ last time I went out with you we got into the Bay of Bis cay, and were nearly drowned you remember. "Oh, but its all right this time, all square; come on, you'll do as you are.' .. 1 1 must at least change my boots," said Cris, for a pair of the latest fashion^-and then my wife. : " Oh, we'll be back by tea time," said Nep "make haste, and I'll go and fetch the^boat round." And so our friends are fairly started, and the day being fine the good Crispin forgot his fears,, and sat admiring alternately the beauty Of the scenery and the polish of his boots, and a very pleasant hour had passed in this way when Crispin was startled by hearing some one shout out be hind him, "Snip ahoy there." -"Dearme, said Cris, "who. is that?" "Why it's old Boreas," said Nip. "For. goodness sake don't have that rough fellow here,' said Cria, getting nervous. "Ob, he's all right, ©owp} 9» ©Wlboy," said Nip, »8 b© stepped



on board. "Out for a blow, I suppose." "Oh no," said Boreas, " only just having a quiet look round." " But who is our quiet friend in the corner ; he iias wrapped himself up as if he was afraid of me ?" " Why don't you know him ? It's poor old Ois I've brought out for a sail ; we are going to see Waitemata." " Then I'm off," said Boreas, for I dare Dot show my face there ; the fact is, said he, some of those young scamps (you know who I mean) came to me the other day to beg a 'puff' or two, as they said to have a game among themselves; instead of that they must go and teaze the quiet Waitemata. Of course I get all the blame, and I may as well have the fun of it, said he to himself, giving a quiet blow, the result of which was soon seen on the water, for the ripples became waves, much to the consternation of poor Crispin. " There it is," said he, "I knew how it would be if lie came on board ; I shall get my boots spoiled, that's certain." And so he sat there trying to make the best of it, but very soon the boat was half full of water ; the others were quite at home in it, and took very little notice of him. At last he begged of Neptune to take in a litble sail, "for," said he, as a larger wave than usual came over them, "you are spoiling my boots." "Oh, hang the boots," said Nep, who was just in his glory, "Put your boots in your pocket," which, upon consideration, poor Cris decided to do, so he got off one, all right, but the other, as it came off with a jerk, slipped out of his hand and fell over board. Nep saw the accident, and pretended to dive for it, but soon came up without it, saying, " That a large stingare had made off with it." Upon this Crispin declared that he could not think of going ashore without boots, and wished them to put back, but this Nep would not listen to. By this time they were passing Rangitoto, aud it was decided that Crispin should be landed in St. George's Bay, and wait there till they came back and picked him up. Poor Crispin sat on the beach some time, thinking of the loss of his boots, (for the one he had was spoilt), when he began to think that if no one wore boots in the country he surely would not be noticed ; this gave him courage to look, round a bit, and getting upon rising ground he saw, at no very great distance, what appeared to be a town of some size, so he made up his mind that he would try to reach the place by any out-of-the-way path he could find. He had not gone far before he saw a man coming, upon which he scrambled behind a bush, where he could see without being seen. "Dear me," said Cris, as the man came nearer, " What a strange looking person, to bo sure, look at his . Why I declare he must have been playing Avith gunpowder, which has exploded in his face and left all those blue marks. I wish I was safe at home again;" but after a while he started again, and presently got into a more open country, where he saw several people walking about—some had been playing with powder and some hadn't; and, as they did not seem to take much notice of him, he became re assured, and walked on towards the town. After trudging over a lot of rough country he at length came to the Barrack Hill, where he saw a quiet looking boy of whom he enquired the way to the nearest boot-shop, (for he had long ago made up his mind that there were boots to be had) ; so the boy, being a respectable boy, did not direct him to Howick or the Whau, as is the manner of most, but told him to cross the hill and get into Queen-street, where he would find plenty. So he walked on, and at length came out just at the bottom of Wakefield-street, when he saw painted up in front of him '' Hemus's Star Colonial Boot Depot." Poor Crispin gave a sigh of relief, and walked quietly over. The person in the shop was rather sur prised to see a respectable looking elderly gentleman walk into the shop without boots or shoes on. " I want a pair of boots," said the old gent, "for I have lost mine." " Very good, sir; what kind shall I show you?" " Well, I really don't know, but as I am rather largely interested in the boot business myself, perhaps you would not mind letting me see the different kinds you have." '' Yes, sir, this is our price list," and the old gent read the following :— .; ■ •.: ■ Men's Strong Watertights,|l2s Cd ; best, 14s 6d



„ „ Lace, 10s 6d; best, 12s Cd „ Shooting Bopts, 15s ; best, 18s „ Balmorals, 12s ; best, TCs „ Bluchers, 8s 6d ; best, 10s 6d . ~ Elastics, 11s 6d, 12s 6d ; best, 14s Od, IG.I Women's Calf Elastics, 10s ed ; best, 12s Od B,,f?;Lace, 8s (id : best. 10s ed also a variety of children's lace and elastic boots, copper toes, etc., etc., an assortment of ladies' and children's kid boots-always on hand. Repairs done." The old gent, after fitting himself with a pair of best elastic sides with light toe and half-heel plate at 16s, expressed himself satisfied with them, and proceeded to inspect all the different kinds, which seemed to give him general satisfaction. At length he left, saying that we should probably hear from him in the course of a few days. Several days after we received the following by the Overland Route:—"This, is to certify that.l have made a careful inspection of the boots and shoes made and sold by S. Hemus, at the " Star " Colonial Boot Depot, top of Queen street, and find' them to be made upon the moat approved principles, as laid down by myself, also that they combine goodness with, cheapness.—Given under my hand, and seal, (date imperfect) St. Crispin.
