HAM AND EGGS. Frederick Morgan, a stalwart young man, • was charged with striking Denis Ruble, of tJ-' Dueen-street oyster saloon, over the nose __Jftj. clenched fist. Jir. Itiibie deposed that the defendant and one or two oi&ers called at his ham and egg establishment at "half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning; they ordered coffee and ham and eggs; he supplied them with rashers of best York ham and country eizes, qnite fresb ' but» in sPite of these facts, the prisoner called him and said, "Bubie d'ye call this stuff ham'- he replied in the affirmative, and when about to descant on the country and quality of the ham, Morgan caught a slice from his plate, and smacked it on his (Eubie's) face. He expressed disapprobation of such conduct when Morgan doubled his fist and gave him a violent blow on the Dose ; it bled copiously. They then ran out aDd went up Wyndham street, where prisoner, who was the sole offender, was given into custody. Prisoner said he was verily guilty, he did ■wipe Eubie's face with a rasher, and after wards gave him a punch on the nose. The Bench considered the assault unpro voked, and fined prisoner £10, or one month's imprisonment with hard labour. Prisoner submitted to the latter alternative as he was out of cash. AIXY AKD LUCY. Sarah Kerslake again appeared on a charge of threatening to knock out the brains of Lucy _Neal, but as the solicitors were not yet prepared to go on with the case, and there were a number of witnesses on both sides, the case was remanded until Monday next, Mrs Kerslake being admitted to bail as here tofore. MORE LIGHT. William Hamley, hotel keeper, was charged with neglecting to keep a light burn ing from sunset to sunrise over his entrance door on the 7th instant. Michael Lynch and George Andrews were charged with the same offence. Mr Broham expressed his belief that the offences were not wilful. The Bench fined defendants Is each, with costs. MICHAEL S COWS. Michael Rutledge was summoned for al lowing his two cows to wander in Ponsonby Eoad on the 14th of September. Mr. Kutledge said he was sorry, but it was almost impossible to keep his cows in. • They were high-spirited animals. The Bench dwelt at some length on their determination to put a stop to such offences. He must pay a fine of 20,'... and costs. DAVID'S HOSISE.

David May, for allowing his horse to stray in Newton Road on the 12th of September, was fined 10s. and costs. This was all the business.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

Saturday night saw two very enjoyable representations produced afc the Theatre namely "The Peep Show Man" and " Play ing with Fire." In the first piece which appears constructed out of the incident of the punch and Judyman in Dickens " Old Curiosity s"hop" the principal parts were played by Mr Lawrence. Miss Rogers, Mr Collier, and Mr and Mrs Searle. Jack Trudget, the rough sailor turned peep show man, was played excellently well by Mr Lawrence and it is not his fault if the author puts such phrases as "elevated termination " into a sailor's mouth. What interest was lacking in this performace was amply made up for by the brilliant little comedy that succeeded it. We have rarely if ever seen on the boards of the Prince of Wales a better cast or better rendered dra matic performance than " Playing with Fire." The fun which is most laughter provoking, turns upon the heart burns conse quent upon some experimental flirting advised as a cure for connubial indifference. Mr Lawrence never appeared to greater ad vantage than as the business-like, off-hand Doctor Savage. Miss Carrie George, as the doctor's better half, played the part of the jealous wife to perfection ; and Miss Morgan quite charmed the spectators by her captiva ting acting in the rdle of Mrs Waverly. Her beautiful song " Silver Threads amoDg the Golden" produced an encore, which she responded to by a lively American ballad with dance. Mr Sam Poole, as Pinchbeck the medical student and matrimonial agent, fairly convulsed the audience with his oddities, which, in their extrava gance, were not at all out of place here. Mr Searle, as Uncle Timothy, was as good an " old buffer" as we have ever seen in Auck land, and Mrs. Searle was not a whit behind as Mrs. Crahsticke, the eccentric old lady. Mr. 6. W. Collier obtained great applause for his gentlemanly '' Herbert." Miss Patty Holt had a part just suited to her in Perkins. The curtain fell to an enthusiastic burst of latißfaction on the part of the audience. If it is possible we should recommend that the piece be played again.

VICTORY EOR WELLINGTON.

PONDENT. J

WELLINGTON.

Saturday.

The team arrived here at 8.30 this morn ing after a very lumpy passag3 from Picton, The players were again very sick, the effect of which did not wear ofFall day. The match started at 2.30, and from the first the Wellingtonians had by far the bert of the game. They are a fine strong team, and worked well together. The play of Merry and Thomson was much admired; the former, a sixteen stonner, doing any amount of execution. Aucklanders were all astray. Not a man in the team was himself. When any one of them made a run of twenty yards he became completely baked, and got collared trough being unable to run further for want of wind.

A let of Aucklanders were quite amazed it the bad play shewn by their kickests. The boyß did their level best, but were sadly out of condition. The voyage entirely upset the whole of them. There was no good play hy a single member of the Auckland team. A dinner takes place to-night, given by the Wellington club, and the Auckland team jwve at noon to-morrow for Dunedin, where I hope they will arrive in better condition. There were a large number of spectators to game to-day. • Wellington won the match by fourteen Points, having got one goal, three touch downs, and six force-downs against two force-downs for Auckland. The spectators interfered greatly with the g»me, and lost Auckland two touch-downs. Better luck next time ! Ihe Wellingtonians are very hospitable.

WELLINGTON",

[From our Special Correspondent]

Monday, 12 noon. The Auckland Eesident Magistracy. Several applications have been received from Auckland gentlemen for the appoint ment of Resident Magistrate. The chances of appointment, however, lie between Mr. Brookfield and Mr. Barstow. The Govern ment may offer the post to one of the members of the province, which, it is said, they are at present contemplating. Private letters from Auckland state that Sir George Grey and the other Auck land members who have supported him in the Abolition and other measures in troduced by the Government are certain to get a most enthusiastic reception upon arrival in Auckland. The Representation Bill. The new bill to amend the representation it is expected will be introduced on Wednes day. The distribution of seats as is stated in the schedule is likely to give much dis satisfaction to the Auckland phalanx. The allotment of members for Auckland was left in the hands of a sub-committee in 1870, and I think a wiser course could not be followed this session.

Serious Gas Explosion,

A serious explosion of gas took place this morning in the strongroom of Izard and Bell's office. On one side the wall 18 inches thick was blown out. The other side and the roof were badly cracked. It appears that a clerk named Salmon in the office, having occasion to visit the strong room, smelt gas, and left the door open for half an hour to allow it to escape, then returned and struck a match and was about to light the burner, when the whole escape of gas in the strong room ignited. The shock threw the clerk some 12 feet ont inte the passage, seriously injuring him. He was taken to the hospital. {

August 29, latitude 44 S. longtitude 69 E., passed through a quantity of wreckage, apparently cabin fittings framed door, and Venetian blinds varnished were distinguishable. Had a good westerly wind across the Southern ocean. Clarke and Stanley, two boys belonging to the ship Waimea were brought up to the Police Court to-day, charged with embezzling cargo, also carrying a naked light m the hold during the voyage.

of liquor, and had been sitting on the culvert in the centre of the track opposite the road, when a ballast engine, coming into town about eleven o'clock, struck him on the head. The body must have doubled up, as it was dragged about 250 yards, by having caught the break-rod. Death must have been instantaneous. The body was badly mutilated. Both arms were shattered, the leus broken, and the head smashed. The deceased had resided in the district for years, and was widely known. The inquest takes place on Monday.

CONFIRMATION AT ST. MARY'S.

Bis Lordship Bishop Cowie held a confirma tion service at St. Mary's, Parnell, yesterday evniing. There were three young lady candi dates and about twenty young gentlemen, who had been prepared by the Very Rev. Dr. Maunsell, the incumbent Prior to the rite being administered, the Bishop delivered an impressive address on the appropriate subject of Seedtime and Harvest, which wa3 listened to attentively by the congregation. The choir sang the service very effectively. Two an thems were rendered, namely :—" Christ being raised from the Dead," quartette and chorus (Sir G. Elvey); and " Come, Holy Ghost," solo, duet, and chorus (Goss). The vocal execution displayed in those of these reflected much credit upon Mr. G. Brown, the choirmaster, who officiated at the organ. Miss Brook sang the solo in "Come, Holy Ghost" with great sweetness. The special occasion attracted a very large congregation. Among the male candidates were several Maoris.

Fatal Accident at Huia.

Thomas Marks, a young man who arrived per Dover Castle, was drowned on Sunday morning when attempting to cross the Huia Creek, near Mr. E. Gibbons' mill. His body was brought up to Onehunga on Sunday night to await an inquest. Be had been in Mr. Gibbons' employment, and was attempt ing to cross from the mill to the opposite side of the creek on a dangerous piece of rock under the dam, where there is a great rush of water, when he lost his life.

Several persons have had narrow escapes at the same spot. On bringing the body ashore, it was taken charge of by Constable Green, who at once communicated the facts to Mr Barstow, with the view to a coroner's inquest, which probably was held this after noon. The deceased is a young man, only nineteen, a native of Tyrone, Ireland, and came out by the Dover Castle. He is re ported as of steady habits, and had been in the employ of Messrs Gibbons and Co. a fortnight.

Tonks and Co., commenced this morning the sale of unredeemed pledges, consisting of gold and silver watches, jewelry, etc. A large number of bidders were present, and the sale was proceeding as we went to press.

EXCITEMENT IN THE SHARE MARKET.

A little excitement, not having its origin in a sudden rise in the price of Union Beaches or Caledonians, agitated the usually calm at mosphere of the Exchange this afternoon, and brought brokers to their doors. The cause of the stir i was a " breeze " between two well* known mining speculators the very antithesis of each other in appearance : one portly and heavy, the other slim but active. Words waxed warm, and not being sufficiently ex pressive of the strong convictions of the speakers, fists were resorted to, but the com batants were not fairly matched, and weight carried the day against agility. No bones were broken, nor any serious damage done to the beauty of either of the principles.

Sydney, September 8,

Robert Johnson, of Jingera celebrity, charged with extensive cattle-stealing from Shanahan's station, at Long Swamp, was sur prised by senior-sergeant Brennan and con stable M'Dalnogh, in the ranges, at day break, this morning. Johnson endeavoured to escape; he was fired at twice, captured, and lodged in Queanbeyan gaol to-night. This arrest took place thirty odd miles from Queanbeyan, in the mountains. A man was taken from an abandoned shaft this morning in a dying state; he remained all night in the water. There is little hope of his recovery. He will be the fourth life sacrificed within a few months.

A child, chased by dogs, fell down a shaft 25 feet deep. Great indignation is expressed at parties removing the logs from abandoned shafts ; a public meeting is to be called to memoralize the Government to make such an act penal.
