POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) DRUNK IN THE STREETS. Three men, named William Wesb, David Williiims, arid Robert Leary were charged with this offence, and dealt with in the usual way. The former was fined twenty shillings, the second ten, and the third con signed to seven days' imprisonment. KINE AND THE CONSTABLE. Thomas Kine was charged with assaulting Constable Nicholson yesterday while in the execution of his duty by striking him on the head with a stone. Prisoner said lie could not recollect any thing of the matter. He 'sposed he was topsicated.

Constable Frederick Nicholson stated that at two o'clock this morning prisoner was lying down, naif drunk at the corner of West Queen-str.eet.

His W orshjp : What do you mean by being M-drnflk ? Are there degrees of drunken ness?

The constable -was not prepared to explain the S' averal stages of drunkenness from the sligrjt elevation of a respectable citizen to the j>e?,sfcly drunkenness of a denizen of Chancery h'me. Tie man was half stupid, and st'ag //ered across the street, and commenced to wow stones at him, one of which struck Slim, but not severely. Prisoner hoped the Court would deal gently with him, as he was green from the >buah, and not accustomed to colonial beer. His Worship told the prisoner that in as saulting the constable he had committed a very grave offence, and for which he must pay a fine of 60s and costs, or go to Mount Men for one month.

T A HEROINE. .John Smith, was charged with stealing a ■piece of bacon from Ann Jones, of Wakefield street, also 2s 6d in money from her till. ■We. bacon was valued at ss. Prisoner, a rough looking character, said fie did not exactly steal it, 'twas a-a-a-kind o compromise. ,He was not particularly hungry at the time; but he liked a rasher to* breakfast; he had occasion to take it. .Mrs Ann Jones, a shopkeeper in Wakefield street a delicate looking woman, stated that she had occasionally employed prisoner in cutting wood and that yesterday while she was m the, adjoining room she saw prisoner steal a collar of bacon from her shop, X \f' %> immediately put down 5 b?y.and ran into the street and collared him, and fixed him until the con- S'\ came and him into custody.

THE WATER SUPPLY.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —I have waited patiently for a refuta tion of my letter which appeared in the, Star of 2nd ultimo, and, receiving no reply, I take the liberty of troubling you again. Having devoted much time and study to the geolo gical features of the country near the West ern Springs I have arrived at the following conclusions : —That the whole catch-basin of some 5,000 or 6,000 acres is drained into the lava formation, which, ■when in a molten state, naturally found its' lowest level, and is there confined within certain limits by clay banks ',' answering to the purpose of dams. These lava or scoria seams take their rise at Mount Eden, Three Kings, and Mount Albert (which are fairly represented by extending the two fore-fingers and thumb of the left hand), and unite into one at or near Edgecombe's, and is there contracted by the encroachment.of the clay to a strip a few chains only in width, through which the whole drainage and rainfall, must pass before it discharges itself into a subterraneous basin, lagoon, blister, or whatever you like to call it, on'Edgecombe's property from whence the so-called Western Springs at Low and Motion's, and Edgecombe's Creek are , supplied by the water overflow ing the basin's lip at; or about the same level. That this theory is correct is clear from the fact that the springs at Edgecombe's Creek are five feet six inches lower than those at Low and Motion's, consequently the whole of the water would be discharged into Edgecombe's Creek if it were not, as I state,' retained in a basin. This could be easily proved by breaking down (ever so little) the lip oE the basin in the direction of the lowest level,' which would then take the whole of the water. The fiss\xres in the scoria being of limited dimensions only allow the passage of a certain quantity of water within a given time, hence the flooding of the Cabbage Tree Swamp and the lands adjacent, which ia nothing more than the back water which cannot force itself through sufficiently fast. I have seen jets of water five or six inches in diameter thrown up through the highest land covering the basin, occasioned by the pressure of the back-water, which clearly proves that this is the only source through which the whole waterfall and drainage is filtered. When it is borne in mind that the Cabbage Tree Swamp is at times four or five feet under water, this great pressure easily accounts for- the water being forced through the highest crust of the scoria. lam so con vinced that what I state is correct that I am prepared to undertake borings on Edge combe's land for the purpose of finding water at my own expense on condition that the City {Council pay me a reasonable sum (to be agreed upon) on my finding water sufficient to give at least one million gallons per diem, and I will find sureties to carry out my portion of the agreement. That the public should know exactly how matters stand is the reason of my writing to the Evening Star. —l am, &c, P. J. DALTOX, C.E.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The adjourned meeting of the Auckland School Teachers Association was held this afternoon in Mr Eraser's High School-room, Symonds-street, for the purpose of consider ing the remainder of the resolutions proposed by Mr Martin.

' Dr Kidd, President of the Association, sccupied the chair, and introduced the busi ness of the meating. We omitted to state, in our report of last meeting, that Mrs Andrew of Auckland, Mr Halliwell of JPokeno, and Mr Danvers of Hamilton-west, were admitted members of the Association. The Chairman in his opening remarks re ferred to a want of punctuality on the part of teachers, and hoped that members would endeavour to be more punctual in future. Mr Worthington read a letter from his Honor the Superintendent acknowledging receipt of resolutions. The Chairman stated that the second re solution had previously been adopted, and number seven was negatived, so that it would not be submitted to the Executive Council. The resolutions, therefore, which they had to consider were numbers six and eight. Mr. Martin said that three and four had been considered at the last meeting, and acted upon by the board, and he would now submit the following .-—"That the subject of remuneration having been carefully con sidered the teachers desire to express their appreciation of the efforts of the board on their behalf, while they substract that the amount of work done should determine in some measure the amount of salary to be received." Mr. Leonard seconded the motion. Mr. Worthington regretted that Mr. Martin should have brought forward this motion. He would move that number three stand as originally proposed, viz : — "That remuneration of teachers be fixed and paid by the Board, and be not depen dent solely upon the average attendance of scholars." Seconded by Mr Harrison. A good deal of discussion then ensued in which Mrs Shayle George, Messrs Worthing ton, Eraser, Martin, Leonard, Harrison and French took a leading part. [Left sitting.]

" Now is the time," says the Boston Traveller, ' ' to practise economy, not alone preach it. So Winks thought. Winks isn't poor; but on looking at the pasteboard advertisements which hang in the street cars he thought that the backs of them would make excellent false shirt bosoms. He procured some of the cards, and cut them up the right shape for use. The first day he put his economical plan into use it was a success ; but next morning, having arisen before daylight, ho got his pasteboard shirt-bosom on wrong side out, and aston ished his fellows at the office by walking about with portions of a sign intimating that Dr. So-and-so will lecture next Sunday evening at Harmony Hall on the subject of Spiritualism.
