were the quf /H \* into service tha' webegantgx P\ \ aire would be all quo tations. X\£j 4 ' arer, however, at length tui ned^e^^wn resoures, and proved to %■* «!?ftr c *^a* c was no' merely a lec ture io^^lo but a thorough musician with a pe-^pt knowledge of the beautiful science. Mryump was not only instructive, but often Terykmusing in the treatment of his subject, and towards the close his remarks were eminently practical in their nature. It is quite true that if music and singing were cultivated at home much of the disturbance and discordance which so much impede domestic happiness would pass from families, and in consequence of the soothing influence of sweet sound they would breathe in an atmos phere of "peace and good will." Without going into the technical peculiarities of music gannits, staves, flats, and sharps, &c, we may say that Mr Crump deserved the vote of thanks proposed by Mr Barton for his lecture, which was of a most interesting and useful character. The choir sang during the evening, "This is the time for joy," " Lo, the bright crimson," and "Homeward Bound." The last was an exceedingly pretty ballad descriptive of the going down of the sun and his bidding the world good night. These sweet songs were exceedingly well rendered by the choir, and tended to show that the class has made great advances under their teacher of late. They also received the thanks of the audience. The proceedings closed with the benediction, pronounced by Rev. C. M. Nelson, M.A., of Sfe. Pauls. - ,

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Reckham, Esq., R.M.) ABDICATION OF REASON. Michael Mullens, a very old offender, pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly yesterday in Queen-street, and was fined 20s and costs, and Joseph Osborne for the same offence was fined 10s and coats. MICHAEL AND BRIDGET. Michael Skerry was charged with assault ing his wife Bridget Skerry last night in Lome-street. Prisoner wished to have the case remanded until Monday to give him time to prove his innocence. The case wa& remanded accordingly. ALLEGED COW-STEALING. Timothy Hayes, a milkman of Mount Albert, was brought up on a charge of steal ing a cow, value £4, the property of Thomas McQuiston of the Three Kings on the loth inst.

Mr Broham asked that the rase might be remanded until Thursday next in order to complete the evidence.

Mr Laishley, who appeared for the prisoner, asked that in case of a remand prisoner might be admitted to bail. His Worship scid that cattle stealing was « matter of serious import ; he could not allow the accused his liberty without finding srbstantial bail. It was shewn that the accused was a man of some means, and in a position to find sureties. The case was then remanded until Thurs day next, prisoner finding two sureties in £100 each. AFFILIATION. William Laxon, a very modest looking young man from Papatoitoi, appeared in an swer to a summons to shew cause -why he should not contribute towards the support of Harriet Green's illegitimate child, he being the father. Mr Armstrong appeared for complaint, an"* Mr Laishley for defendant. His Worship said that if the young man was really the father of the child he had better arrange for its support without the in tervention of the Court ; but if he was not the father he must be a great goose to keep the child. Mr Laishley said that William avowed that he was not the father. Harriet Green, a pale inoffensive young woman, who was in a very weakly state, and accommodated with a chair, deposed that she went to live as a domestic servant in the family of defendant's father, a settler at Papatoitoi, on the 21st April, 1873. She described the circnmstances under which the intimacy began in April, 1873, and had con tinned up to the 13th of November. (Mr Laishley cross-examined complainant at great length, but failed to shake her evi dence.) William Laxon, the defendant, denied the paternity, but on a strict examination by the Bench verified the girl's story in the main points. His Worship commented upon the conduct of defendant in ruining the girl, and then coming to the Court with all sorts of excuses. Mr Laishley would respectfully submit |

that the case should be dismissed, as the evi dence was not sufficient to bring the charge borne to Laxon. He had witnesses to call in his client's favor, and several had been sub pcened, but had got out of the way. They bad not bees able to i!x them. His Worship: I shall have to fix. the further hearing of the case until Wednes day next. The .case was then adjourned until Wed nesday next.

( George the Fourth is reported to have expressed his great delight from partaking daily (morning and evening) of a cup and a-half of CONGOU TEA. | Then Pekoe was unknown ; Woolong was unheard of; Kaisow, Moning, and the rarer sorts considered alike with the commonest of the T'a plant. Very marked lias been the classification and importation of this "so excellent a beverage " between that period and now. Yet still we can offer the same Congou Tea that pleased the English Court of his time from Is 6d to 2s. But matk this, that class of Tea would not please now. The " Queen Victorian" taste predominates all over the Globe for the very be3t Tea, and Coffees at the Lowest Rates, and as the duty is alike on superior and inferior Teas, it is plainly obvious thas the best article is unquestionably the cheapest. Day after day we renew our efforts to sell cheaper and cheaper. Our Teas and Coffees have the tripla ! qualities, viz :—Great strength, agreeableness of flavour, and advantageous buying ; hence, surpassing cheapness is their chief merit. Our Stock is very extensive. We sell at wholesale prices. No connec tion with any other house. Visit an immense Stock of Bacon and Hams. KaT Note the Address:— J.
