LOT 4, SECTION 7, SOUTH NEWTON, SUBURBS OF AUCKLAND.

(To the Editor of the Evening Stae,). Sir, —Let me entreat you to use the influence God has given you in this community to prevent a gross act of injustice from being consummated as it threatens. Tbe facts are these : On the 17th of August, 1859, I pur chased by auction, at Connell and Ridings', an allotment of land situate as above, pay ing on the day of sale £1 13s 4d according to conditions. The remaining two-thirds of purchase money, f'3 6s Bd, were paid by my

uncle, Mr William Leicester Rogers (formerly

owner of the Greyhound Hotel), at the ex piration of the five years allowed to com plete the purchase. The purchase money, together with the amount requisite to obtain the title deed or deeds—(lam no lawyer) —

was placed in the hands of Mr. George Hampshire, hairdresser, Victoria-street—at that time a tenant of Mr Rogers, to pay to Mr ' David Burn, the owner or " vendor" of the South Newton allotments—in my behalf. Now to this time Mr Hampshire has always insisted that he paid the purchase money to Mr Burn in 1864—August or September— early in the morning before opening his shop; and I remember his coming to me on a Sunday, a few days after the expiration of the time allowed for payment, and congratulating me "on having secured my land by payment in full, claiming at the same the merit of having induced Mr Rogers to advance the amount, an'act which the latter has since and often

freely acknowledged. But, about two years hearing that Mr Rogers was in . ."difficulties,, and beiDg urged by Mr Hamp shire to "look after my deeds," I went to Mr Brookfield to inquire about them. Mij Brookfield solemnly denied either having such documents or knowing anything what ever about them. He has repeated the same

assurance on my visit to him this morning, .and Mr Hampshire still insists that he not jonlypaidMr Burn the balance of purchase '/money ior my allotment, together with three :yeaiß interest at. 8 per cent,, 5s 66. a year ; (I paid two years' interest to Mr Burn myself cpnsecutiyely), but also about £1 15s to Mr. -. Kissling, who, as I understand, was then Mr Brooktield's clerk, for the title deeds. Imagine, then, my surprise and panic—no very agreeable shock to a nervously-consti tuted man, not rich enough to buy off the mischiefs of this life, with abundance of money—to see my allotment coloured blue and'condemned for Bale at Arthur's mart this morning. I trust you will kindly insert this, and that all well-disposed and honest persons will abstain from offering to purchase my property, on which I have lived nearly 16 H y^are.—l am, sir, yours truly, • Frederick Augustus Mortyn.

ARRIVAL OF THE GAZELLE.

ThelGerman Government surveying ship the frigate Gazelle arrived in haibour from Brisbane this morn ing, a'ter a ran across of 10 days, during which variable weather has been experienced. The ship . came up harbour at once, and anchored in the man of-war ground. Soon after the Gazelle had an chored she was boarded by Mr Bucholz, the German Consul, accompanied by Dr Philson, and Mr i ill, (Collector of Customs. Dr Philson received the surgeon's report, which represented the ship as. Peifectly free from contagious or infectious disease, and having personally inspected her, gave her a certifi cate admitting her to pratique at once. Later on her commander, Baron Yon Schleinitz was waited on by Bis "Worship the Mayor, F. L. Prime, Esq., and the Town Clerk, P. A. Philips, Esq. We take the fol lowing description of the vessel from the Brisbane \ Courier :—The Gazelle is a wooden frigate, she was was built at Danzig in 1860. She is a screw steamer,. '280 feet in lengtl^bout 47 feet beam,, and has three masts _quar<^B mam deck there are only three ■■braKs pieces, which are placed at tfl Mfor arming the boats, and one 74-p^^BHH _W which is kept right forward, and caflTSe fire^Bßfiither the port or star board bow. _here is on me main deck a reserve screw propeller, made of brass, and which can be nttcd Into its place if required, through a grating in the deck just over the screw shaft. On a slight ""age just forward of themizzen mast observations ■ awtaKen, and from here the vessel is worked, w_.ile ".dial connected with the steering wheel shows we direction of the ship's course. A short ./"istance forward of this is a small engine * 'Or worktng the deep-sea sounding and dredgitg ■Pparatui, together with the line and reel used, ana ifuVW** 110*8 *re »~i to be ( effective to a depth of. i^r i — tts' Goin B down a _ hort flight of steps the 1{ ; ♦ vil(reßohed- A' present, only eight guns are, i(l P to. be wen, but as the vessel is now on a survey t . 1 rtw Be> ,h6 vwdea far less than her complement in, .:„ whick.is twenty-tight,guns . The guns I. vL';,?i br«*oWo.»ders by Krupp, and throw 74-lb sboti,'. j a?t_T 0"6 0B the BUn-deck are not of so recent a type" ■» we one on the main-deok. On the gun-deok is also" ■^« capites, jshiefiy remarkable for & number •_

evolving pistols which garnish its head, each one ntt'ng mto a compartment of its own. These, It is said, formed part of a large number of similar wea pons whinh were manufactured by Prussia at the time oi rue last American war for exportation to thatcoun «?' £ ing cnnt-rftr'and of war, they were seized by me Prussian Government, and are now used in ... _\ r - c_?T; y- „The ofter Portion of the gun-cloak is occupied by the Cabins of the officers and their mess room, as well as the apartments belongirg to the commaaner, witch latter are situated at the extreme stern of the vessel. In the dning-room of the com mander we noticed, growing in a largo tub, two specimens of the Queensland w.-tcrlily. in flower, Together with some other plants, which gave a cheer tui aspect to the apartment. In the "ship's office," wnich is near the cabins just referred to there is quite a collection of spears, arrows, and other warlike curiosities from the islands of the Pacific ; and in such nerce aud warlike company was a dainty little hat, made of yellnw dried grass and rushes, which had been constructed for the adornm. Nt of some dusky Delle of the Mauritius. On tr c third deck were the engines, which are 300 horse power nominal Near the engines are the furnaces and boiler?, which are ranged on either fide of tbe vessel, with a narrow passage between, and close to these is the condensing apparatus. This deck i_ the home of the sailors, the space forward of the engines being occupied in the centre of ihe vessel by ra-.ks for the men's kits, which were stoned aw»y in canvi_ bags. On either side were to be seen the utensils used by the men in taking their meals, and overhead were the hooks to which their hammocks are swung, and tbe portable tables, kept there when not in use. Quite in the forward part of tun ship on th's deck was to be se»D, by the aid of a lantern, the place in which were kept, in the strictest order, spare articles in the ironmons- ery line of every description ; here were also the air-pump and divers dresses, capable of supplying two divers at the the same time Visitors were also shown the_ outside of the powder magazine, and seemed satisfied without goin*. farther Below the third deck there was a ;space left in which to store paints, oil, *c, and thi3 was two feet from the ship's keelson, so tbat on the whole her depth of hold would be some thing like thirty feet.

PRINCE OF WALE'S THEATRE.

The repeated performance of Bob Roy last night was well received by the audience. The musical portions of the representation were most creditably executed, and again produced a great impression. The cast of the piece was the same as on the preceeding night and the various characters were well delineated. Miss Carry George was much admired as Helen McGregor, and Mr Lawrence as Rob Roy, shaped and acted his part vith fidelity to history and. tra dition. MR COLLIER'S BENEFIT TO-NIGHT. Mr G. W. Collier has been one of the most painstaking and hardworking "theatricals" we have had in Auckland. Both as an actor and manager he has commanded admi ration from all classes, and his benefit to night should be well attended if only to reward acknowledged merit. The play selected is Hamlet. Mr. Collier takes the title role. Miss Carry George appears as the Queen, Miss Clara Stephenson as Ophelia. Mr R. W. Lawrence plays the double of the Kins; and the Ghost. It will be seen that ♦he cast is an unexceptionally good one. The desire to see Shakespeare's master piece competently bandied, and to honour Mr Collier ought to prove an irresistible "draw." AIR EC'S ENTERTAINMENT. This umivalled -perfcr_oer in his particu'ar line, in connection with the well-trained and qualified mem t era of the Grand C mbri nation Troupe made their appearance la>-t evening in JLorne-street Hail to the gntificAtion of a large aurience. The programme possessed new and interesting features, and as each featuie was introduced it was met by the plaudits or the assembl»g. .Airec rerformed s^me of his most astonishing feats last night on the trapeze, but that which struck astonishment intothefmlnds of the spec tators was bis evening promenade head downwards, along the ceiling; and this daring act was performed fearlessly, and with, the utmost sang froid. The Irish delineations of Mr Alexander met with a hearty response, especially from those of the audience that bailed from the land of Moore and Curran. His grotesqtie ilustrationo of the brethren of the green Isle, and especially his songs and dances were well receivtd. Professor Jacobs was greatly approved in his magical representations In many of his tricks he was equally as successful as the l»te Fakir of Oolu, and not fsr b hind Professor Ander son, who created a great furore in London some four teen years ago. The distribution of the pri_.es was another source of amusement and fun, lncluiing one of Dennes' sewing machines. Then came the cemic marvel of tbe entertainment, the "Shadow Panto mime," produced at vreat expense with lim.light re flections. Altogether the ent-rtainment was highly amusing, and will be repeated again this evening, v. hen another sewing machine similar to that of last night will be included in the gift distribution. PONSONBY ENTERTAINMENT. The Chr.siy Minstrel entertainment and comic spelling-bee will be held this evening in Ponsonby Hall, in aid of the fu d. of the district cricket club. A number of the hading amat-urs of Auckland and Ponsonby wiil Jake pait in the entertainment, for wbich great preparations have been made.

We shall nor, be surprised to fb d tbe City Pall crowded to-morrow eve i R. CMH-ide.il g the Dature oi the entertainmet t, and the well-established popularity of the lecturer. ENIERTAINME^T. A very interesting entertainment was given last evening in the Young Men's Rooms, .Wellesley street, by the friends of Ihe United Free Methodist Church, on behalf of the harmoniumiund. Mr James Coupland occupied the chair, and after a. few in troductory remarks introduced successively the various performers according to the order in which they were printed. The T> mplar band played two overtures in a very creditable marner, and Mr Buti-chkow played two piano so'os, "CastaDiva." and "Kathleen JMavournetn." with his usual skill and judgment A duett (piano and violin), was an excellent performance by Miss Edger and Mr Hemus. _-i*s- Nesbitt, who has a sweet voice, sang with much taste the pretty ba lads "Come Birdie Come " and " "Why do t uromer Roses fade V Mrs Wright sai.g the V Bridge" very pleasantly. MiEs Dobson with her usual ability sang "Sunshine is Brightest," in which she was greatly cheered. _he re- dings were ',' Mrs Brown's Goosberry Wine," by Mr Blac-man ; " One of the Lowest," by Mr Thomas L White; "How she Conquered Him," by Mr G. Hemus A song "A ny Ornaments for your Fire stoves ' and m recitation, " The Death of the Mosquito," by Mr Allen, brought a very good enter tainment to a satisfactory close.

" W-, and those interested in phrenological and electro-biological science, earnestly and respectfully ask you, as the greatest favour you could possibly confer upon not only ourselves, but upon the public at large, that you alter your determination of not again appearing after to-morrow night, and consent to' favour us with another course of lectures- six upon pbreno ogical science, and six upon electro biological science-with ihe understanding that you will consent to the same being reported and pub lished, for the benefit of tin se who were unable to attend' your lectures, and in order that those abstruse sciences may be placed upon a broader and more familiar busts.—(Signed), Hon.

The popularity of Dr Carr's seances was indicated by the large attendance at the Odd Fellows' Hall last evening — N Z. Times, June 16 1875. Dr. Carr attracted an excellent house at the Odd Fellows' Hall last night, when he delivered a very interesting, eloquent, and instructive lecture on " .-ell Cv ture." He afterwards examined the heads of a number of those present, creating not a little amusement by his delineations of character. The experiments in n.esn_erism were exceedingly droll, and excited roars of laughter and app ause.—Wel lingtou Evening Post. June 10. 1875.

Dr. Carr maintains his success to the end. Last evening the Masonic Hall was inconveniently crowded. — ('tago Times. The Doctor is a clevrr man, and a fluent speaker, and it would, therefore, be strange if he were not listened to attentively.
