failing to contribute towards the support of their destitute father. Mr Brock appeared for the defence on the part of Josiah, and stated that his client was not in a position to render suoh assistance. The two sons Samuel and John were willing to assist their father, but owing to the old man's'^tsiaperate habits they were not dis •posed'to give money into his hands. The case was then adjourned until Friday next, in order to make proper arrangements. Mr Samuel Tiller promised to see that his father did not want in the meantime. Mr W. Atkin, who had interested himself on behalf of the father, desired the Bench to get something from the sons, or the old man might be allowed to starve. Mr Brock having promised that he should not be neglected, the case was allowed to stand over for a week. CITY BATES. Several city rate cases were on the lisb, but were not called on, as the Town Clerk informed the Oourt that they had been settled outsirLe. This was, all the business.

PARLIAMENTARY.

|From onr own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON.

Thursday. Onehunga.Endowments.

At the afternoon sitting, Mr O'Rorke moved a bill ratifying the endowments to Onehunga granted by the Provincial Govern ment at last sitting. The Government thought the land should be made a harbour endowment. The bill, however, with some slight amendments was passed through com mittee. Brissenden Land Purchases. In reply to Mr Swanson Sir Donald McLean said Mr Brissenden's land purchases in the North had nothing to do with his dis missial. They were quite satisfactory and had been approved by Judge Rogan. Mr Brissenden had written terminating his con tract with the Government. Gratuity to Mrs Williamson. Mr O'Rorke gave notice of a motion in favour of £600 gratuity to the widow of the late John Williamson. Representation Bill. Considerable discussion ensued on Mr Kelly's amendment in favour of a member for the Southern East Coast District instead of for Napier. The Government again an nounced its intention to adhere to the number of members in the bill although willing to allow alteration in boundaries. Piako Lands. . The committee of the Legislative Council on the certificate granted for land at Piako, held by Mr Thomas Eussell here reported that title was obtained through a false declaration, and recommended that it be annulled. Mr Bridges- Mr Bridges still declines to give further evidence before the committee, stating that he does not consider even now that the pro tection from legal consequences is sufficient. Government Land Transactions. In the Legislative Council upon the motion to read the Piako Land Exchange Bill a thitd time, the Council denounced the bill, and said the dealings of the Government with the public estate, of which that bill furnished an instance, must lead to insular separarion.

Upon a division, there was 12 for and 12 against the motion. The Speaker gave his castiDg vote with the noes, and the bill was thrown out.

AMUSEMENTS.

.PBINCE OP WALES THEATBE. The company at the Prince of Wales Theatre opened up a new line last night, and gave us " Othello/ one of the most difficult plays in tbe whole category of dramatic literature. Yet the representation wss decidedly good, and there we_e very few signs of weakness even in the mfnor character performers. Tmrcast was well arranged, and sreat ca;e wa3 taken w the accessories of the piece. We were pleaded also to notice the fidelity with which the text was adhered to Miss Carry George played the prjrt of Emilia, and wpngh the character is not one that is capable of {Wing treated with any special originality, the lady Imparted to her representation individuality and £gour, which showed that she had studied the r6le "self as well as imitated iti best expositors. In her scenes with lago she exhibited a true womanly flemeanour, which was veay telling r~. inst the cold villainy of the arch plotter. Of Mr Law-ence's lago we can say nothing but what is favourable. The character, it is evident, is thoroughly appreciated by "Us sctor, and the version of it given us last night wasconscieutousaDd rigorously a.j-jtic. MrO. W.we we have seen and admired in Othello before. i*st night's performance was, we think, an improve ment on his acting with Mr Fairclough He seemed more at home in the character and has at quired more repose of style. His p--sion was good, and he repre3 «ea any tendency to rant. Miss Lizzie Morgan ex -3" aa *°me capital acting in the part of Desdemona, ana her exquisite tenderness under the unjust suspi oons of her husband, brought tears to many an eyo. l.« BISS of- tte characte" wew acted with more or X 2? if '. bnt aU carefully and with good attention to aetall Altogether the performance reflected credit on tbe company as performers, and on the manage -s«£i*l or *^ c very salnstakißg preparations. To n«lit the •' Merchant of Venice" is to be played, ■mis magnificent comedy appeals to all classes of w»y-goers, as it contains a fair amount of sensation fonJ. as it contains some most beautiful poetic H« >m, and tellin 8r situations. The company open at r£L]v^ B» oVatardasri where they deserve, and are "early certain to receive a hearty welcome.

hence the great circus with its many attractions was closed, and Mr Barlow sat at ease musing on the uncertain character of colonial weather, and wonder ing when it would clear up. The performances of dogs, monkeys, horses, the versatile clown, an old bud, and pretty Butterfly will appear this evening in new scenes and perform new feats, if the rain should not interfere to prevent it. To morrow afternoon the children may look out for Barlow's lilliputian scones at two o'clock, as that will be the final chance.

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Insurance Case. The case of Flexman v Standard Insurance Company occupied the whole sitting of the Supreme Court to-day. The plaintiff claimed £2,000 insurance on a fellmongery establish ment at Kaikorai, destroyed by fire. The defendant pleaded that plaintiff, at the time of making his application, stated that the building was not insured in any other office, while it was insured in the Norwich Union for £1,000. Plaintiff's statement is that the statement—"if not otherwise insured," was inserted in the insurance form without his authority, and he is not responsible. In ex amination he positively swore that he told Mr Reid (manager for the Standard Co.) and two clerks of the office that it was in sured in the Norwich Union. The case is still unfinished.

Painful Accident. Andrew Drake, railway porter, met with a serious accident to-day. While discharg ing goods, a box weighing half a ton struck him on the leg, breaking it.

Action against Waste Lands Board. The Waste Lands Board resolved to ask the Provincial Solicitor to move Judge John ston to deliver judgment in an attachment against a certain member of the Board.

PORT CHALMERS.

(From our own Correspondent.)

This day. TTnseawoztky Vessels. At the auction sale of the ship Don Juan, to-day, the hull and lower masts, in one lot, did not command a bid. The sails, gear, etc., were offered in lots, but met with poor bidding. The greater part was bought in. The coudemnation of the ship is regarded as a just measure. Other fishy vessels are under surveillance, and will receive little mercy, the Government surveyors having resolved to fully exercise the law. Consequent upon their action, a large schooner, the Anne Howlan, has been converted to lightering purposes* The insurance companies are also bestirring themselves. Their surveyor, Captain Russell, has prohibited the brigan tine Oreti from taking away more than enough cargo to ballast her. She left for Oamaru yesterday.

POST-OFFICE AND TELEGRAPH DE PARTMENTS AT HARKIN'S POINT.

The contract for the building, fitting, and comDletion of the above buildings which was taken by Mr H. P. Kavanagh was completed yesterday afternoon, and the buildings made ready to be taken over by the General Gov ernment. The offices are situated close to deep water at the railway station, Harkin's point, adjoining the new hotel of Mr Thomas Deacon of Riverhead, and will considerably enhance the value of the township property. Similar contracts have been executed by Mr Kavanagh both at Helensville and Newcastle, and as in the present case the work passed without any objection being raised. The probable co3t will be £50 D. Yesterday evening the contractor, his friends, and workmen enjoyed a very pleasant evening at the building previous to starting on a fresh job. Our correspondent informs us that Mr, Kavanagh is about erecting a number of cottages and villa residences on the line of railway.

THE SUGAR THEFT AT PUKEKOHE.

The sugar stolen from the Pukekohe station on Friday is said to be the property of a gentleman in Auckland who is carrying on- Operations in the Waikato, and the sugar was en route for the farm labourers, when it is alleged two men, Walker and Mansneld, espied the same, and were seen running away with it. The station-master at once gave chase, but the sugar proved too heavy a handicap, and was dropped while^ the two men escaped into the scrub. The station master at once telegraphed to Walker, the Constable at Papakiira, who-promptly arrested the individuals charged with the • offence, and brought them, to the^apakura lock-up, and the case will be heardgon Mon day HOne of the parties is generally occupied on hM own farm,! while^ne other|has had employment_filling_w»ggonslat i l'fiM:oße. |

PHILLIPPS' ART GALLERY.

Messrs Phillips & Son have just received another importation of oleographs, photos, and pictures of various k'nds, which are not only btamiful and calcu lated to beautify the home, buc are offered at such prices as place them within the roach of the colonial workman, whose habits are of a sober and manly nature. We have been privileged to look at the new 'Selection, and were delighted with their hues and tints and subjects; but it would be unreasonable to expect that we should chronicle these hundreds of im pressions of nature and physiogonomy. We noticed one aqusgraph, representing Louis XVI. ; the beauti ful Marie Antoinette, and his family, in prison, pre viouw to his execution in 1793. The " Spanish Minßtrel Girl is a perfect gem of art; while the " Studies of Flowers" are exquisite and worthy the attention of every lover of tho fine arts. A fine painting representing a lako between the snowy moun tains of Noi7?av is of a lr~h character. A series of photographic views of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and Continental scenery aro exceedingly choice. The Queen and Koyal Family, including sons-in-law and daujthteis-in-lwv, is a fair picture of the Queen-mother fn her hajpiest position There are also among this collection ol i!lustrations some handsome pos;.raif-s— almost !'fe size—of the reformers Luther, Calvin, Melanchon, and others who lived in the dawn of the Protestant Reformation. Without going separately into the vatious pictures which com prise the art gallery of Messrs Phillipps and Son, we may say that they are worthy an hour's inspection, and such hour will not be iJI spent. It is truo that among the admirable endowments of our nature the sense or perception of beauty occupies a high place, and why should_ it not be cherished by the people generally ? A few instructive pictures in a room may have their influence on the heart and the affections, and be the innocent means of aiding towards the peace of the household. There is a very minute portion of creation that men can turn into food and clothes, but all nature and art may be used to minister to the divine sense of beauty.

THE KAIPARA RAILWAY.

This morning a steam travelling crane was forwarded to Harkins Point to be used for lifting goods between Riverhead and Helens ville and will certainly be a great convenience for those who have traffic work along the line. Mr. Fallon, the contractor, has every thing in readiness for handing over the rail way, so that when Mr. A. Passmore arrives (and he is now daily expected) the line will be taken over and this branch opened for permanent traffic. The construction of the Riverhead and Helensville line has had a curious career, so far as the contracting, engineering and management of the General Government was concerned, and we feel certain had the work of completion been left in the hands of the Provincial authorities at the outset the permanent way would have long since been laid and the line made available for passengers and goods traffic.

BONE BOILING.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —Would you kindly publish the follow ing letter in the interest of the citizens of Auckland in general, and the inhabitants of Upper Queen-street and its neighbourhood in particular. Is the Central Board of Health still in existence ? If so, could you inform me what steps they have taken with refer ence to the extensive bone-boiling and bone crushing factory which is being erected on Mr Belcher's premises corner of Queen-street and Karangahape road ? Where is Inspector Goldie and the other guardians of the public health ? Is their time fully occupied in hunt ing up real or imaginary stinks in the city ? or is it that, being situated outside of the city by the breadth of the Government road, they can only stand at the corner and shake their fists at it ? Mr Belcher has stated that he intends carrying on operations on a new principle which does away with all the smell. Bnt, sir, I have had some little experience in this kind of thing, and can honestly assure you that all the stinks in Auckland put together would be a fool to ifc. This new process is simply the same as is carried on by Messrs Soppett, in Freeman's Bay, namely, placing the bones in a steam-tight vessel and conveying the gas and steam that has been used in the operation into tanks of water to condense. This water must at once be run away, in the course of which it might easily be smelt all over the city. Personally i respect Mr Belcher and consider him an industrious citizen ; but as the natural drain age from his property runs in front of my door and down to the gully in rear of the Catholic Cemetery, I hope he will purchase the various little dwellings in his rear,so that he will have ample room to extend his busi ness. Of course, sir, you are aware that this gully runs along tho back of Newton to the bottom oi Arch Hill, and finds its outlet at Motion's mil), where the city is to receive its pure water from. Having made this public, I leave it in your hands, and remain, B.W.

"The "Weak Eat Herbs," says the apostle, and without denying the efficacy of mineral medicines in certain cases, it maj well be doubted whether those remedies which are derived from the vegetable kingdom are not the most efficacious as well as the safest. Certainly the astonishing cures of dyspepsia, kidney disease, rheumatism, and of the numerous maladies in which, tonic medication is serviceable, effected by Udolpho Wolfk's Schiedam Aromatic Sciinapps, whose constituents are vegetable, argue strongly in favour of botanic treatment.
