Suspected Murder at Pakiri.

INQUEST ON THE BODY,

TERRIBLE DISCLOSURES

An inquest was commenced this afternoon a< the Terminus HoteJ, WynyardPier, before Dr T. M. Philson, Coroner, and a jury on tht body of a woman named Eliza Battersea, who came by her death it was suspected by violent means. A man named Charles Dyer has been arrestecl~under the following cir cumstances :—He is a settler well-known in Auckland, and for many years past has been engaged in the timber trade on the Pakiri river, has for a consi derable time been living with the deceased as his -wife, and, as is natural in such a condition, their lives have been anything but pleasurable. Dyer is a widower, and has a little place in the bend of the river, where he has lived with the deceased woman. For some cause or other Dyer grew jealous of his companion, and was in the habit of beating and other wise ill-treating her ; and it is alleged that on Thursday last he made a violent attack upon her, beating her in a brutal manner. He then poured a quantity of kerosene oil up on her head, and set fire to it. In an instant her body was in flames, and Dyer, it appears alarmed at the result, wrapped a sack around her body, and threw her into the water, where she was seen by a man named Watson who got her out. Dyer assisted him in carrying the poor creature to the hut, where she was placed upon the floor. Mr George Sharp, employed by the prisoner, came in and aided in washing the mud from the wounds of the sufferng woman. The lower part of her clothes had been burned away as far as the waist, and all the upper part of her body was scorched to a fearful extent. The hair was singed to the scalp. Salad oil was poured on her wounds, and she was placed on board until the departure of the Prince Rupert. Ellis Dyer, son of the accused, went in search of a constable, who took Dyer into custoyd and brought him and the woman to town in the Prince Rupert. The patient lingered on in great agony until nine o'clock last night, when she died on board the ketch. Dyer alleges that the ignition of the woman's clothes was quite accidental; that she upset a quantity of kerosine on them which caught fire. It is also stated that he was not in the house at the time of the occurrence, and that witnesses will be called to prove an alibi. In the meantime he is detained in custody pending an investigation. The deceased was about forty-three years of age and the prisoner fifty-five. At the., inquest to-day Mr Inspector Broham appeared on the part of the police and asked for an adjournment of the enquiry until Saturday next, as he had not had. sufficient time to call the witnesses together. The inquest was therefore adjourned until. Saturday next, the 18th inst., at eleven o'clock.

ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY.

The favourite opera of " Maritana" was repeated last, night by the English Opera Company at the Prince of Wales. The house was fairly filled. The east of characters was the same as in the first representation. As a whole the performance last night was more complete than its predecessor. Miss Alice May was in excellent voice, and was encored in "Scenes that are brightest." She also displayed the most touching emotion in the supplicatory invocation "Sainted Mother." Por this she was rewarded with a shower of flowers. Mr H. Hallam, as Don Csesar, sang with more vigour than on Monday. This was noticeable in the cavatina " Let me like a Soldier fall." The song "There is a flower that bloomefch " was also given taste fully and'well. Mr Rainford's Don. Jobo who a most meritorious piece of acting and vocalisation. He was encored for his fine rendering of "In happy moments, day by day. " Miss Lambert sang " Alas those chimes so softly pealing" with a fine pathetic simplicity. Mr. Levison displayed consider able improvement from Monday, in his ren dering of the part of the King. The orches tral accompaniment was conspicuous for its judicious marking of time and expression. The pianissimos were excellent. Mr Allen may be congratulated for, the fine state of discipline of his staff. To-night the " Grand Dachess" is to be reproduced.

AMUSEMENTS.

THE CIRCUS.

The Siamese and Asiatic Circus last even ing was well attended by a respectable audience, and the various equestrian and Bleight-of-hand performances were executed with success. The serial evolutions of the Siamese girl werei Btartling and wonderful. The balancing on the ladder eclipsed any thing of the kind that we had previously witnessed, while the tricks of Bungaro were equally remarkable, especially the bottle trick. The feats of Mons. Salavaro as the Indian from the Ear West, aod Mr Brame (an Auckland native), the fearless bare-backed rider, were certainly at the head of the equestrian exercises, and gave life and colour to the circus—indeed without these leading performers the circus would lose its greater attractions. The grand tilting tournament was an imposing sight, and was very gratifying to the spectators. The scene, reminded us o? the scenes so vividly described in Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe," a. book which every young man should read, not merely for its romantic associations,; but for its truthful insight into past history; The great scene of the entertainment however was "Mazeppa or the Wild Horse of Tartary*" which-was very fairly represented, with the Sale, lovely figure of the pretty Docey as [azeppa, bound to the wild steed. Mr. Collier looked quite venerable as the Castellan of Laurinski. Mr South took the part of Rudzoloff with much credit, while Mr Douglas represented Count Palaleni with his wonted cleverness. The humorous exhibitions of Messrs Foley and South were aptly given, despite a few stale jokes which bear repeating and. the new version of the ludicrous ballad of johnny Sands. Mazeppa, in its full representation, illustrates a phase •f history which Byron has encircled with his poetical genius. Mazeppa was real character—a Cossack, born in 1645, who subsequently became a page in the service of Casimier, one of the. Rings of Poland. For a certain immoral intrigue the King ordered him to be stripped and bound upon his horse, lying upon his back with his head towards the animal's; tail, and left, to his fate. He was at length rescued from his perilous posi tion, and won.the confidence of Frederick the Great. Re abandoned the "service of the Czar, and entered Sweden, where he died in 1709. The Circus in its general features of horsemanship is attractive to young persons, and calculated to win asmile sometimes from children of older growth; '-' THE MINSTRELS. ! The City Hatl minstrels were againsuccess fol with their lively and sentimental ballads and musical selections. The programme was of a similar character to that of the previous evening, and was frequently applauded; i The pieces of the evening- were : " That Rascal Harry," " Obeying Orders," and "Tricks on Travellers," which were brought outs with Qon-jjimmate ability. The California

mm,- i Is idvu a vol v pleasing entertainment, u'lwc vviug in its general characteristics.

" Gracious me !" exclaimed a lady in the witness-box, "How should I know any thing about anything I don't know anything about!"

There is laughter in Chicage because a St. Louis detective went there and had his pockets picked on a horse-car. Thk woman's paper, the devolution, is to be revived. It will be a-bustling sheet. Many of the daily papers say they are opposed to iniiation, and yet they are con stantly blowing up people. An old Scotchman of Boston used to say, I'm open to conviction, but I'd like to see the man that can convince me.

The Cobbler's End.—After breathing his " last" he gives up his "sole" and goes to the "upper!' regions. ■ -;- " Where there's a will there's a way " as the young man said when he eloped with the fair legatee.. , Letting off sleep," is a little boy's defini on of snoring. Caught by a Cockney.—A good story is told of George William Curtis, the poet. He prides himself, it is said, on his English acient, eschewing the Yankee "drawl." Therefore, when he was in England, and went to a tailor's he was not a little mortified at the proprietor exclaiming: "'Array, show the Hamerican gentlemen the flowery Weskets !" Mrs. BBioiiAM don't want to be Young. "Pleasant dreams, my dear," said the husband to his wife as he bade her "good night." She, did have pleasant dreams that night.'. Cause why? They had been for a drive through the Golden Gate Park, and the fresh and invigorating air of heaven had made her slumbers sweet. A drive through the Park and a meal at the "Villa," kept by Mr. and Mrs. Mangenberg, are'wortb more than all the medicines of all the

Pestered with " contributions of verse," from a persistent rhymester, till his patience gave out, an American editor wrote to his correspondent thus :—" H you don't stop sending me your sloppy poetry I'll print a piece of it some day, with name appended in full, and send a. copy to your sweetheart's father." That poetical fountain was spen*. taneously dried up. When does a man have to keep his word 1 —When no one will take it. •

A St. Louis woman wants a divorce just because she found 113 letters from a red headed woman in her husband's pocket. Divorce lawyers are now known as " patent separators." Adelina Patti at Pesth.—A correspon r dent writing from Pesth states that the recent visit of Mme. Adelina Patti to that city was the occasion of considerable excite ment when it was,known that she would sing at two concerts in the Salle de la Redoute. Every seat in the house was instantly secured, and the sale of. tickets •realised the large sum of £2y200. So eager •were the' public to* hear or see the prima donna that they broke open the doors and windows of the Salle, until, at last, the police were compelled to. .interfere. Mme.
