Soon after midnight he n!Lon deck, when the Captain gave orders f Seiib. He was at the wheel when *° s I ' ye the orders, and immediately after I «aye orders to haul it down again. He 1 ordered all the head sails to be hauled jrwn He-Bet the spanker, and the Captain d 0 heaving the wheel hard down to bring "w to the wind. The main-yard was flat aback, and the fore-yard shivering. The hief mate was on deck when the orders were Len standing by the port fore-braces; the fecond mate was on the poop, by the port main-braces; and the Captain was at the wheel, where he remained lor half-an-hour. The first bump she gave was about one o'clock just after he took the wheel from the Captain. After she struck the Captain went and looked into the binnacle. She was then south-east quarter east. He then said, " Set the mainsail." When she was aground he saw the Captain attempt to strike the second officer. He had previously called him into his cabin, and when on the first step'of the companion-ladder the Captain up with his foot'and shoved the mate down. The second mate run up through the steer age, saying "Hewould not be humbugged by the Captain. If he wanted to strike him let him do it on deck. He saw the Captain strike at-him at the wheel. He saw the Captain putting on the arrage ment, but he did not know that it was called a knuckle: duster. The mate bobbed his head, and the Captain struck the wheel. He oonldnot say,whether it was made of iron or brass or anything else. His Worship :It was not made of gin ger-bread, was it ? Oh, no, sir ! too hard for that. Witness continued :'He did not believe the Captain was drunk. He might have had a little, but he could stand on his feet. He did not consider a man was "proper drunk like" when he could stand." " - His Worship : What is your definition of drunkenness.

Well, sir, when I get drunk, proper like, I lays down in sailor fashion. How do you define being improperly drunk?/ .7 (IJIA \... \\ /. ;') Ton my word, I don't know, Your Wor ship. . ; Mr Holt here stepped forward and wished to contradict a statement made by Mrs Primrose in her evidence respecting his being prejudiced against the Captain, and to state that she told him in the presence of others that she had many opportunities of seeing the Captain, and that she had frequently seen him the worse for liquor. Horatio Wise, chief officer of theAnazi, wag next called, and deposed that on the evening of. the 28th his watch was from six to eight. They passed Tiiitiri light-house at Mf-past six—-the inner passage—wind N.E. Had a leading wind. After passing Tiri they bore away to the S.W., but her proper course for the BangitOto Channel was S. by E. They intended, to anchor under the headland, as the Captain stated to witness, hutthe.Captainaltered his mind, and said they would heave to for the night. (Witness here read particulars from the log.) They were six milfes from Tiri when they hove to, and were well out from Rangitoto. It was a little before eight when they hove to. He could not say -how she was heading; he went forward to look after the anchors. The.Captain hadjcommand of the deck at the time* 'giving"orders, but he could not say what his orders were. He was on the forecastle head. He could not at that time seesthe Bean Rock Light. It was a bright night, but there was a thin base on -the land,; with. the wind blowing strong, the sHip was perfectly safe. The Captain told witness that he did not know much about the Eangitoto Reef, and did not like to, run r up, and he was afraid the pilot Would tiot'bOme upr There was no signal made, nor rocket, fired. The ship bei D g hove to his watch, went below. The Cap tain went down at teatime, and had a smoke, i He 'returned to deck as soon as he was called. Some of the hands were on the poop. ,He went forward. The jib was stowed; the fore topmast-staysails and mizen topsails were hauled down ; the main yard was not set. ' He'could not speak posi wvely, his recollection was not clear on these matters. The Captain was in command, we were obliged to put.the ship about be cause of the reef ahead.

The Trustees' report showed that the bank rupts had been butchers in Wellington, where thegreater part of their liabilities were incurred They had afterwards dealt in cattle at Napier, but .did not keep any books or accounts after leaving Wellington. What memoranda they had wero destroyed in the burning of the Central hotel in Queen-street. The assets in their schedule consist of bul locks, horses, &c., running at large, and may never be realized. The liabilities on the Ist January were £690 10s 9d, ; and assets, £290 ; nominal deficiency, £400 10s 9d ; but real deficiency, £690 16s 9d.

Bankrupt received his discharge. Re Geo. Tiiorne. Mr McCormick, who appeared for the bankrupt, stated that his client had not been able to prepare his statement owing to tho Bank of New South Wales having noc made out their account. The Act provided that applications for enlargement of time could not be made by the bankrupt except in case of illness, but in this instance the^Trustee had instructed him to ask for an adjournment of three weeks. His Honor granted the application. Re THOMAS CA.SSIN. Mr Armstrong appeared for the bankrupt. There was no opposition. The report showed that the bankrupt had beena hotel-keeper attheThames, and in Sep tember last had joined one Purdie in starting the Parawai Gardens at Tararu, on which there was then a mortgage of £450, which was subsequently increased to £GOO. The gardens did not pay, and the interest of the mortgage not being kept up, bankrupt had been obliged to mortgage the stock and furniture of his hotel. These had been taken possession of by the mort gagee. The balance-sheet showed liabilities £972 13s lOd ; assets, £439 10s : deficiency, £533 3s lOd.

His schedule wa3 the same as he had filed at Grahamstown, and showed liabilities. £752 10a Bel ; assets, £228 6s Bd—deficiency, £524 4s. There was no question asked the bank rupt, and he received his discharge. Re JOHN D. UENTLEY. j Mr Alexander, instructed by Mr Beveridge, appeared for the bankrupt, and stated that he was unprepared to go on with tho case, as he was informed by his client that the Trustee's fee had notjbeen paid. The case was ultimately adjourned fort wo weeks. Re wm. j. 'smith.

ARRIVAL OF THE KENILWORTH.

WRECK OF THE EUGENIE.

THE CAPTAIN AND ANOTHER BURNT TO HEATH. The schooner Kenilworth arrived late last night from Samoa and Tonga Tabu. Captain McKenzie reports having left the latter port on Wednesday last. Had strong E. and N.E. winds throughout the passage, which was accomplished in a little over six days, one of the shortest passages on record. Pas sengers —Messrs. Peterson, J. Cocker, A. Macfarlane, M. Tourlienne, and 2 Kanakers. The Kenilworth brings the mate and one of the passengers of the shipwrecked schooner Eugenic. Erom the latter wc learn the following particulars of the disaster :— The Eugenic, Captain Clark, left Tahiti 12th July last with a French Government agent, and one hundred and thiaty nine natives of the Gilbert Croup. When about half way from Tahiti to the Gilbert Group a fire was discovered about sunset to havo originated in the part of the vessel by the explosion of a kerosino lamp. Efforts were immediately made to extinguish the fire, resulting in tho death of one of the crew three hours after The captain was also severely burnt and died after ten day's dreadful suffering. Arrived at the Gilbert Group on tho 2nd August, and landed 137 of the natives on six different islands. The vesseljproceeded to a solitary island of the group to land the remaining two, and on the night of tho 11th August anchored off Taputawea, but by a sudden squall the anchor chain broke and the vessel was taken again out to sea. Before daybreak she went on the reef, when crowds of natives immediately came along side, stealing every thing they could lay their hands on, but not offering to molest the men themselves. The crew, etc., got safely to land, and were picked up by the German brig Susanne, and were taken on to Samoa. The schooner Eugenic was formerly running between this port and Tahiti, and was chartered by Messrs Owen & Graham. Captain Clarke, whose untimely end we hear of by the Kenilworth, was well known in Auckland, being a brother-in-law of Captain Robertson, late of the brig Moa, and now of the ship Result. The mate, Mr Macfarlane, second mate, Mr Brice, and the steward went on board the Morning Star, missionary vessel, where they remained for a month after which they joined the Susanne, being landed with the passengers and crew.

THE PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

A novel performance was announced to take place last night at the Prince of Wales Theatre. The advertisement set forth in the approved high sounding style that a "Troupe Parisienne," .consisting of "talented artistes," would make their first bow to the public of Auckland in their " beautiful ballet and execentrique poses, dances, &c," and " grand quadrille execentrique dcs clodo ches. "_ When the announcement was made it was accompanied by a report— intentionally circulated or not we are unable to state with certainty—that the perform ance would be something "racy," in the real French fashion. The artfully inserted word poses, coupled with the Continental charac ter ascribed to the entertainment, was very suggestive of the departed glories of the Cider Cellars and Leicester Square, and as might be expected proved a splendid draw. At the time appointed for the commencement, eight o'clock, the theatre was well filled in the lower portion of the bouse, and there were not fewer than a hundred persons in the dress circle. The programme began with a farce which, except that it was absurd even beyond the limits of farcical absurdity, calls for no special comment. The audience were now on the tiptoe of expectation for the danseuses, but to their disappointment Mr Collier came forward and introduced a fine looking muscular man, and re quested that any two gentlemen, would come forward and'bind him. The old rope trick was then performed, and signs of satisfaction came from some of the onlookers, though impatience was evidently directing the manifestations of others. This done a pantomime in dumb show performed by the members of the Collier company served as a prelude to the engrossing feature of the evening. The audience did not seem to relish the introduction and " sibilated" freely ; but just as the expectant gazers were losing all patience at the tantalising delay, the pantomimists went off with a shout, and the four demoisellesfrancaises ran on. Assum ing the positions for a quadrille parisienne, and the orchestra having struck up a dance air, the ladies began their—well—move ments. For a few minutes the house was silent. The ladies continued. They advanced, retreated, and kicked ; they threw their scanty drapery over their heads and indulged in a, variety of extravagant gestures. It was evident that the figure and time were of small account with the performers. Pro bably the former was not known, and the latter imperfectly appreciated. The audience .suddenly awoke to the fact th_s they had been sold, and s_ suppressed mwv rnu? of laughter v the supr^ vidio\U<rai_-'

ness of the whole proceeding simul taneously escaped boxes and gallery, stalls, and pit. We do not wish to particularise such a performance ; suffice it to say it was a lamentably feeble attempt to imitate the notorious Can Can. But while there was all the impropriety of action characteristic of this discountenanced dance, there was not the slightest pretension to grace or elegance in the performers. Wo noticed several ladies present, and we pitied them, for they must have felt very uncom fortable. The evening's entertainment concluded with the •'Quadrille dcs Clodo chea," bub the audience had had enough, and signs of dissatisfaction greeted the fmale. We trust that tho management will see tho necessity of altering the programme.
