HAMILTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day, The Maori King Planting.

Tawhiao is at itopua preparing ground for planting. The natives intend planting exfensive grain crops in consequence of the railway. Rewi has gone to Otorohanga to a tangi on a chief who died while he -was in the Bay of Plenty.

The Unfortunate Man.

There is great indignation here at the blackguard conduct of George Jones, jun., who sent a copy of the echo to Mr M orris with low scurrilous remarks in his hand writing on the margin. The letter from Mr Morris published in the echo was impudently altered. The promissory note was an accom modation to Jones. Morris paid Jones £45 in advertising. Jones always ran large grocery bills, which Morris took out in ad vertisements. The name of George Jones, jun., stinks in the people's nostrils here.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Corresppndent.)

This day. Mr. Vogel and the Agent-General.

The Post asks, to-night, what has become of Mr. Kennaway, who was sent home nominally to assist the Agent - General in putting his office in order, but really with the intention of sending Dr. Featnerston to the right-about. The Post says—" One thing we venture to predict. It will show that on arriving in England Sir Julius Vogel found Dr. Featherstoh s. position a much stronger one than he anticipated, and, wisely con cluding that discretion is the better part of valour, he abstained from all aggressive or irritating action towards the Agent-General. To have acted otherwise, he found would probably have involved unpleasant conse quences."

Politics on the West Coast.

The Times condemns the expenditure upon the West Coast Goldfields water-races, snd agrees with some of the West Coast papers in thinking that political undertakings upon the West Coast have proved an unmitigated failure.

Caning a School Boy.

Mr PilkingtoD, schoolmaster, who was fined a few days ago for well caning a rebel lions young rascal, has had all expenses of the case paid by voluntary contributions, and has also received a written expression of sympathy, amongst, the signatures being the Bishop of Wellington, Archdeacon Stock, and J. E. Fitzgerald.

Political Rumours.

The rumours flying about re the deposit of three millions of the loans, cause much speculation as to whether Mr Vogel will come out again or not. The majority believe not. A great many want to know what Mr Thomas Russell is doing at home. Indeed, to report half that is said upon the matter would only be adding one more to yonr many libel cases. It is known in well-informed circles that some four or five months ago a rupture took place in the friendship of Russell and Vopel, and that only for severe domestic affliction Mr Russell would have come out and obtained a seat to oppose Vogel's policy. It is surmised that recent transactions will have made peace.

GREYMOUTH.

[From our own Correspondent.] This day. How Mr Harrison, M.H.R., will Vote

re Abolition. HMr Harrison, M.H.R., had a crowded meeting on Tuesday night. He explained that the reason why he v©ted against the re solution of last session was because he had no confidence in that reality, and they were not the outcome of earnest thought and con viction, but the result of piqne. He ob jected to partial abolition, and to the main tenance of tbe compact of 1856, which, was grossly unfair to some provinces, and caused very unequal taxation. If a broad states manlike measure were introduced applicable to all parts of the colony, and making land revenues colonial revenues, he would not oppose it, but he objected to the proposals of the Government, so far as ascertained. After all, the good Government of the colony de pended upon administration. No political nostrum could of itself cure the evils, and he instanced Wellington as an example how even provincialism could be efficient and simple. A unanimous vote of confidence was passed.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Wednesday. - The Wreck of the Schooner Success.—The Bodies.

Additional pieces of wreck have been found at Longbeach, on the Ninety-mile Beach, some of which bear the words" " Success, of Auckland," thus setting at rest all doubts as to what vessel they belong to. An inquest on the three bodies found with the wreckage was held at Ashburton yesterday, when a verdict of " Accidentally drowned " was returned. The bodies were those of a white man and two Kanakas. The white man was dressed in oilskin overalls, the right arm tattooed blue and red, with a womau holding a flag and " Young America," pricked in below ; there was also a tall thrpe-masted schooner on the breast. ODe of the coloured men had tattooed on the left arm, " Kapulhmlmho Siomenth Okupilu," on the right, " Lealo Omalu Selplio." The other man had a flag on. the inside of the left thigh.

SLAUGHTER-HOUSE SITE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —A correspondent in this mornieg's Cross in reference to the proposal of Mr Macready, writes of contaminating tbe springs at Low and Motion's mill. Is he aware that the proposed site for the Slaughter-house is nearly half a mile from the Springs, bounded by both a fresh and salt creek, and, considerable below the level of the water supply for the city. Unless the impurities of the Slaughter house are meant to run up a hill, it is hard to conceive hew it would contaminate the Springs. The time has arrived when the conveniences of the trade and consumers must be considered of more importance than that of the cattle breeders and salesman. If it will reduce the price of meat one half penny in the pound, it will be of considerable importance.—Yours, &c., Vindex.

"ROSEDALE."-NEW DRAMA AT THE PRINCE OF WALES.

There is something poetical in " Rosedale," tbe title of the interesting drama in five acts, which was produced at the Prince of Wales Theatre last evening with so much success. This somewhat sensational but really plea sant play hangs nicely upon a little story which glitters through it like a silver thread. The scenery also from the hand of che artist Mr. Thornton, gives a happy coloring to the passing scenes and is creditable to the artist, who we may state pjayed Cavendish May remarkably well. Miss May Howard per formed Rosa Leigh with grace and spirit. There was an airiness and girl-like freedom about tbe character which was displayed by' Miss Howard with the vivacity and un sophisticated air of a country maiden. Mrs Jones, as the mother of Rose, was motherly in the extreme and apparently of a stock that is passing away. Miss Stephenson as Lady Florence May, was fully equal to her ideal, and played with that peculiar skill and apparent reality of motion for which this lady has won more "than a "local habitation and a name." Miss Maggie Knight, an Auckland born young lady of prepossessing appearance, looked happy as Sarah, whose character she represented in a most satisfactory manner. Mr Collier, as Elliott Grey, was quite at home, and helped considerably to swell the interest of the drama. Mr Aveling as Matthew Leigh, the the young surgeon ; Mr Holloway as Myles McKenna, and Mr Oily Deering as Squire Cobb, were good and in the execution of their respective parts were highly suc cessful. Mr Collier's little daughter repre sented the spoiled, .self-willed boy, with power and elicited the approbation of the house. The piece will be repeated this evening; and to-morrow, Shakespeare's " Romeo and Juliet" will be presented to the public, Miss May Howard appearing as Borneo.

Romeo and Juliet,

Miss May Howard an artiste of unques tioned ability as a delineator of character, and whose fame extends over half the civi lised world, will appear to-morrow evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre in her great and greatly admired impersonation of Romeo. This play illustrative of the tender passion wrappen in the garb of sentimentality haß been represented for centuries before ad miring audiences in the different quarters of the globe, and Romeo has been assumed by male and female actors of various grades of genuis, and more particularly by lady artistes for these last years. The play has several times been introduced to Auckland audiences, and as many times has been welcomed by the listeners, but we believe on good grounds that the character of the passionately fond Romeo, has never been presented to a colonial audience with such fidelity and force of representation as by Miss May Howard, who is said to be unrivalled in her Shakesperian delineations on this side the ocean.. The play has always a fascination about it for young persons especially, and even older ones love to watch the scenes which bring back thoughts of early feeling and memo ries of joys that never can return. The scenes chiefly axe laid in Verona, and never did lovn commence under happier prospects benuath the "inconstant moon," and " never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Eomeo." With Miss Howard, therefore, as Romeo, swearing by the "blessed moon that tips with silver all the fruit tree tops;" and Miss Clara Stepheneon as the loving Juliet, with her ceaseless " good night ;" and Mr G. W. Collier, as Mercutio, the friend of Romeo, a dramatic treat of no ordinary occurrence may be truly anticipated by the frequenters of the Prince of Wales Theatre.

POLICE COURT.-THIS DAY.

(Befoie Thomas Beckham, Esq;, KM.) MIDNIGHT REFELLERS. George Craig (second offence) was charged with being drunk last night.—Craig, an elderly man, denied the charge; he spurned the accusation. Constable Melville deposed that the man was helplessly drunk in Durham-street, and quite insensible. Sergeant Sanderson stated that prisoner was in a sad state of inebriation. It was an act of kinkness to bring him to the station, as he was quite incapable. Prisoner : I was not tipsy though ; simply in a fit. His Worship : I will put the case off until to-morrow, if you have any witnesses to bring forward to establish your innocence. Prisoner: Rather not, your Worship; don't care about it; might as well be settled now, but I wasn't drunk. Fined 20s and costs.

William Matthews was fined 10s ; John Stafford, 20s, for the same offence. Peter Doull and William Johnston forfeited their bail.

EIDDY AND BESS,

Two female residents of classical Mill Lane, West Queen-street, known by their names Bridget Condron and Elizabeth Deid rick, were charged with swearing and using dreadful language in Mill Lane on the 16th instant.

The girls, rudely clad, pleaded guilty. The Court, on being informed on paper of the exact nature of the language used by these hapless daughters of Erin, expressed surprise.

The girls seemed to think that the lan guage was not so bad for Mill Lane—a re tired walk in the breezy region of West Queen-street, the haixnt of blighted flowers and ragged robes, but which have as yet escaped the keen eye of the poet and the fanciful gaze of the painter.

Constable Axam was walking in the lo cality on his beat, and his ears tingled with the terrible curses of the girls, whose lungs evidently were in a healthy state, as the at mosphere seemed to ring with the sounds of the girls' voices.

His Worship said the girls must pay £5 each, or go to prison witii hard labour for one month. BREAKING AND ENTERING. James Dunnett, a stout strong man, was charged with breaking and entering a dwelling-house, occupied by Charles Boyce, on the 22ad of May, and stealing therefrom gold and silver brooches, and two gold ear rings, value £5.

Mr Broham asked for a remand, in order that fact and evidence might be collected. Itemanded for a week. BREACH OF DOMAIN ACT.

Mr John Harker was charged with committing a breach of the Domain and other Acts, by taking away and removing the Artillery shed, which was the property of the Commissioners, without their consent and contrary to the provisions of the said Acts.

Mr Brookfield, who appeared fer defen dant, asked for a remand for a week, in the interim of which the case might possibly be settled.

Mr Harker, it appeared, acted under the instructions of Major Gordon, who was not aware that he was acting wrongly.

Mr Lusk appeared for the Commissioners, and consented to an adjournment.

The case was therefore adjourned until Thursday next.

This was all the business,

A Notorious Scoundrel.

A most notorious burglar, who has been for some months past a perpetual annoyance to the inhabitants, of City West and Pon sonby through his constant acts of pilfering, has been captured by Detective Jeffrey, and was brought up at the Police Court this morning and remanded for a week. This man (James Dunne) was convicted in 1871 of seven clear cases of larceny while living at the Thames, and on being confronted by Detective Jeffrey, presented a revolver at the constable's head, but was suddenly pre vented from carrying his threat into effect. The man was known to be living by theft, and his habit was, on dark Sunday evenings when persons were gone to church, to lift windows and commit his depredations. Several of the felonious acts of this evening prowler have recently been brought home to him ; and the s'lk shawl, value £5, found by Jeffrey in the man's possession has this morning been identified by the lady who owns it. This discovery alone is sufficient to find a conviction, had there been no other equally clear cases against him. He will be brought up again on Thursday next to answer the many misdeeds alleged to have been committed by him.

ENTERTAINMENT AT ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL.

Late Telegrams.

CBKISTCHUKCH.

[Per Presa Telegram Agency.] This day, Education Bill Agitation.

A public meeting took place last night to consider the new Education Bill. It was densely crowded. The following resolutions were proposed by Mr Wyun Williams, late Provincial Solicitor, and uuanimously agreed to :— " This meeting is of opinion that the amended Education Bill introduced dur ing the present sitting of the Provincial Council, will, if allowed to become law be seriously detrimental to the system of education introduced by the Educa tion Ordinance of 1873, and it is also strongly of opinion that his Honor the Superin tendent, the members of the Executive Government, and member? of the Provin cial Council should mutually agree that the Bill be postponed until next session." The utmost unanimity prevailed, and all the remarks against the Education policy of the present Government, and favourable to the views expressed in the Superin tendent's message to the Provincial Council were loudly applauded. All remarks to the effect that if the Govern ment did not withdraw their Bill, the Superintendent should veto it were also loudly cheered. Both Press and Times join in supporting the views of the Superintondent, and condemn in strong terms the bill introduced by the Executive, and if not allowed to drop, hope the Superin tendent will veto the measure.
