r* Prisoner said he was a new arrival by the ■RooDarel, and did not know the customs of the country. He was out and about. The Court sentenced him to one month's imprisonment with hard labour John Pascoe, another arrival by the same vessel was charged with a similar offence. Prisoner was under the influence of liquor at the time, and had not a distinct recollec tion of the offence. Fined 40s or the alterna tive term of imprisonment. JUVENILE THIEVES. Four hoys, named William Horn, . John Callan Thomas Maccaroni, and Josiah Maul, were charged with stealing 400 lbs of pig-iron from the yacht Energy, on the Ist inst. John Pell, m charge of the Energy, de nosed that on the day in question. He found the locker of the yacht had been broken open, and ». large quantity of iron ballast stolen. He had seen the boys loitering about, ac nad. made enquiries about the iron and found portions at different places. Samuel Moss, manager of a marine store in the old Market-place, deposed that the four boys offered the iron for sale and he bought it of them. To Mr Broham: He bought it to sell again. His Worship: How came you to buy iron of these boys when you must have known that they had stolen it. What did you give for the iron ? Come, answer me, sir? Witness: Well, well, your Worship, a halfpenny a pound. The boys told me they got it when the tide was out. What do you get for it, sir ? ; Seven shillings a hundredweight. His Worship: lam surprised that a man of your years should buy things of boys like these when your own common sense must have'told you that you were buying stolen goods. Do you teach your children to steal ? Witness: No, sir. His Worship: Your halfpenny a pound will be a dear bargain to you. It will stick to you through life. Stand down, sir. Stay, sir. How much did you buy of these boys, and what money did you pay them ? Witness: 1 bought 4801bs and paid the four hoys a little over 20s. Detective Ternaban proved to finding the iron at Moss's and to taking the boys into custody. Mr Broham said that Moss had been up before for similar dealings with young thieves.

Michael Kirby, an associate of the boys, gave evidence, but unfortunately implicated himself, and began to smile, and treat the matter very lightly. His Worship gave him a severe rebuke, and elicited from him that he was the son of a well-known tradesman, and went regularly to the Catholic school.

The Court sentenced them to six months' imprisonment with hard labour, his Worship remarking that he would no longer incur the responsiblity of letting such boys off upon such easy terms as heretofore. Three other hoys named Samuel Smith, Stephen Holland, and John Kennedy, were charged with attempting to pass counterfeit coin.

Mr Broham said this was a very bad case, and his application for a remand until Tues day Was granted. This was all the business.

-~, _. This day. me Times publishes the following telegram from Governor Fergusson's private secretary, dated Auckland : "I am directed by the Go vernor to inform you that the paragraph in the Independent of May 29, quoted from the Argus of May 11, and stating that his Excel lency has started the idea that all correspon dence between the Government of the seve ral colonies should come direct from and to the Governors of the colonies and not through their responsible advisers, has no foundation. The General Synod has resolved that steps should be taken without delay for the better endowment of the Bishoprics of Waiapu and Dunedin. Regarding the celebration of marriage, the Synod said there was no reason for making any formal alteration in the pre sent usage. It was resolved that the next ordinary sessions of the General Synod be held at Nelson in 1877. In order to defray the expenses of printing the following asses mont was made :—Auckland, £20 ; Nelson, £16 ; Christchurch, £20 ; Wellington, £20 ; Waipu, £7 ; Dunedin, £17. The Synod then closed.

REV. G. H. TURNER ON "THE TONGUE."

The third of the winter series of lectures was delivered last evening at the Young Men's Christian Association by the Rev. G. H. Turner, minister of the United Methodist Free Chnrch, Mr Herapath in the chair, supported by Rev. Alexander Reid and Rev. Wm. Tinsley. The subject of the lecture was the " Tongue : its use and abuse." The lecturer introduced his subject by re lating an anecdote of the tongue, and endeavoured to show from logical deduction, and various learned authorities, that the human family originally spoke but one language. He then proceeded to dea with the immediate subject of the evening, and treated first of the use of the tongue second, as a means of communication; third, as to its abuse; and fourth, as to its exces sive talking. The lecture was full of excel lent advice on the proper use of the tongue, plentifully interspersed with thoughts from Sir William Temple, Bunyan, Max Muller, and last, but not least, that initable wit of modern times, Douglas Jerrold. The lecture ■was occasionally eloquent and highly poetical, yet Mr Turner, despite these characteristics of earnest thinkers, was thoroughly practical. Speech between man and man is a revelation by words of those unseen thoughts and im material feelings which pass within the breast. The thought is not her c nor there but by putting it into language, by the help of visible things, it becomes the common pro rjertv of the community. To make the emotions of the heart or spirit manifest to others is poetry, and he is the greatest poet who possesses the power, and exercises it of making the greatest number of high emotions most distinctly manifest to the hearer The infinite forms of nature and the infinitely varied impressions they makeupon the senses are all put into requisition in order to set forth these emotions and make them intelligible to others. The language of the eve may shadow forth somewhat of the inner™ fl: but without the tongue and the pen the thoughts and feelings-would be unintelligible. The lecturer characterised the excessive talkers and scandal-mongers of society, and gave several apt quotations from Pope, Longfellows and poets, and concluded an admirable lecture with the words » Beware." We could have wished that a little music had been added as an ac companiment to these lectures, as in a pre vious course, as its sweet influences would have a cheering effect upon an audience when listening to lectures of a morally in structive nature, but the members ot me committee, we learn, are not musically UW pcdied, and so they h^ye go m\p<?.
