-of fat, the captain immediately commenced to persecute him, and after reading the log, told him that he would have him yet, al though he had escaped once. Mr -J. B. Russell, for the prosecution, stated that the charge against the prisoner was laid by the mate, and not by the master. The prisoner was acting improperly in a certain part of the ship, and was asked to desist, and refused to do so. If the present charge against the prisoner failed, a charge of indecent exposure would be preferred ; as it wa3 necessary that something should be 'done to teach prisoner that he could not act in opposition to all rule and discipline without ft check. He would therefore urge that the charge be pressed against the prisoner; he had moreover engaged a solicitor, who learning the facts of the. case had ceased to act for him. Prisoner Intimated that he would plead guilty to any charge, as the captain was determined to hunt him down since the fat •was in the fire. His Worship "ordered the prisoner to gaol or one month with hard labour. Mr Russell said that as the captain and mate ha'i been broughb here, through prisoner haying the case remanded, and engaging a solicitor, he would ask for full expenses Hj S Worship said he could not go beyond £3 5 acoording to the Merchant Shipping Act. The court finally decided that prisoner should pay court costs, and fees, amounting to £3 9s 6d. On leaving the court to await the prisoner- the prisoner, addressing Captain Knight, ;aaid, " Captain Knight, I hope you are satisfied, and that the fat will no longer be in the fire."

GOOD TEMPLARS AT THE NORTH SHORE.

Ttie brothers and sisters of the Devonpnrt Lodge of Good Templars at the North t-hore, celebrated their third anniversary last evening by a concert, the interest of which waR greatly nngumented by vocal friends from the several Auckland lodges, Te» was provided at 6 30, and subsequently Mr David Gold-.e ■was called to the chair. Mr Goldie introduced the programme with suitable remarks, which were fully appreciated, and called the several performers in order to fulfil their promises. The voices of the sisters added much to the vncal pleasures of the hour. Sister Woods sang " Call me not back," and " Kiss me and I'll goto Sleep;" Sister Brook sang Bayley's sweet old song "She Wore a Wreath o( Eoses," aßd " Shells of the Ocean ;" Sister Gribb'.e sang " Beautiful Days of the Past" and " Napola tine ;" Bro Sceats sang " Beautiful Nell" and "I'll ax your Mother;" Bro Redfern gave " The Temper ance Man." Several excellent readings were given, viz: " Buy Gyour own Cherries" by Bro Redfc-rn ; " Uncle Phils Story," by Bro Leßoy ; "Tha Drun kard's Home " and the " Orphans Prayer" by bister ■Minnie Froude, and one or two others. The enter tainment was very successful and well attended.

The Suicide of Mr McKay,

At an inquest on the body of George Gordon McKay, who cut; his throat as the Pacific Hotel last night, a verdict of tem porary insanity was returned. Deceased was well-known in Auckland, and lived at the Albert Hotel. He was a trustee under the •will of Mr Anthony who died at the latter place a few weeks ago, and came down only yesterday morning with deoeased's brother to look after business matters. He was found on the bedroom floor with an immense gash made by a large pocket knife. He was formerly a broker in Australia, and a few yeara ago a legal manager of Ooromandel companies.

The Waikato Times published the follow ing second edition last night:—" Wellington, Thursday, 7 p.m.—Major Atkinson will be Premier and Treasurer ; Mr Whitaker Attor ney-General, and reside at Auckland. The other offices will be fixed this evening, and announced to-morrow. Mr Ormond and the Hon. J. Hall will join the Ministry, and Mr Bo wen retain his seat as Minister of Justice."

DUNEDIN.

(From our own correspondpnt). This day.

The Guardian admits Sir Julius Vogel's unflagging zeal for the colony, and says that when temporary partizan excitement passes away, the verdict of the colony will be that he deserTed the only rich prize the colony can give its public men. lie Mr Macandrew's motion, the Times Bays if resolutions are passed as to laying aside the land fund endowments and for taking unfair advantage of the session, the Provincial Councils should be again allowed to meet. The request is moderate ; hopes it will be heard, to obviate more unpleasant consequences. Bryant the Auckland G-arrotter. The Timea protests indignantly against the liberation of Bryant, the Auckland garotter, whose former petition to the previous Min ister of Justice was refused, as his conduct prevented all claim to the clemency of the Crown. It says the proper course would have been, three weeks before the expiry of his sentence to have transferred him to Auckland, and liberated him there. It urges an enquiry int 3 the irregularity. Local Option Bin. Mr Macandrew informs the Licensed Victuallers Association that there is no chance of Mr Stout's Local Option Bill passing this session. The Association re commends combined action on the part of similar bodies to secure a reduction of the high insurance preunus on hotel property. The Star admits that the Monday meeting, though its importance is over-estimated, shows thorough discontent in Otago at the present position of affairs, but ridicules the idea of the Otago members withdrawing, the practical effect of which would be to make the colony for the time being a prey to Can terbury run-holders, billet-hunters, and all other foes to good government. The proper place for Otago members is in the thick of the battle, where they can fight for the in terests of the province, so far as those interests are consistent with justioe to the rest of the colony. Presbyterian Union. The Presbyterian Synod meet on Septem ber 13, to finally deal with the question of union with the North.

Political Meeting The resolutions to be proposed at the Caversham meeting are, That those represen tatives who passed the Abolition Act were not elected to do so, had no right to make any radical change in the Constitution of the country, and the people of New Zealand are justified in resisting its being carried out. That the abortive attempts of the Ministry to provide a measure of local government have failed. That it is not proper to appre hend great constitutional changes which have been impelled to the present course by the deßire to pawn or sell the waste lands of the province. That the sudden change in opinion which Wellington has often produced in some of our representatives, convinces us that one central government, with large place-dispoa

ing power, tends to corruption, That our representatives and Mr Burns be thanked for their action on the Reparation question^ and be requested to advise other Otago members, in the event of their failing to preserve the independence we enjoy under provincial in stitutions, to return to the province in a body, aud we will supDorfc them in preserving our rights at all hazards.

REPORTS ON CITY ACCOUNTS.

salient points of the two reports on City Accounts which we have not yet published, those of Mr P. M *Vv\ anX UI Brodie may be thus summarized : tL fk npon the collec«°n of rates aemarks : r lhe method m which this work is to be performed f'. IIIS76'JJ°(!1 lI S76'JJ°(! I.?° not thl»k a better plan c*n be devised. The collector or receiver is to be supplied with receipt forms filled in for the proper amount ana numbered consecutively, and theso he hands over to parties paying rates. The numbers of the jecelpts should, of coomb, tally with the nurnbars of the notice paper, and also with the ratepayer's uumber in the assessment books. So the collector or receiver would simply have to take the notice paper and tliP cash, *prpin?P hthe. num, be. r corresponding in hts prepared recent book, and if the amount agreed hand over the receipt to the payer, retaining the notice paper. He should have nothing to do with the posting up of thei money to credit of the individuals—that is outside of his province, and should be d-.ne elsewhere so as always to bava at hand a constant and efficient check. It is against all rule, as far as I have seen, for the receiver to post the individual amounts in the cate of partial payments, receiver would endorse payment upon the notice paper, and return the paper so endorsed tn th e ratepayer to be again produced by him upon tho next occasion of payment. He would also endorse su.-h pigment upun tho receipt form In the book, but such form would not bo excised troni the book or hiiidecl to the ratepayer until the whole was paid. By thi3 means the public would «ot bd detained a moment in tho collector s office, and much trouble and risk ef confusion would Ije save;! to him. By the present .system ho his to nuke six entries for each payment. The collector reqnires only one bock, viz., v day or tanlibook. H« a ould have nuthing to do with tlu< columns in tho rate-book. Mr McTnvish explains the form of rate-book he would recommend, and says: -'• The receipt-books, pjoperly male up and checked in the accountant's department should be handed to him when the notice papers are issued^ and all ha should do is to receive the rates, taxes, fines, rents, tolls, and everything the property of the Council as per the receipts in his possession, keep a correct account of the same, ana pay the total amount daily iuto tue bank tj credit of Borough Funds Account. . . . The work of the treasurer is miscellaneous, and Appears large in the aggregate, but wlun dissected it is not really excessive, involving only a few .entries daily, (except on particular occa sions), and the daily entries not always postud. I observe the receiver's clear ca*h-book has not been initialed by thd treasurer since 24th June. That the book docs not contain a true account of the moneys received (Waterworks rates being omitted by order of the Town Cierk) since s»me date. That the bank account has not been posted in the treasurer's ledger since 10th July. All the money received is not banked daily, in consequence of having so many hank accounts, and sin ill sums received on particular accounts are retaintd in treasurer's hands until they accumulate sufficiently to make a decent deposit, so that the receiver's cash book does not at all times correspond with the bank pass-bo jk. It is desirable that the ledger should show at any moment the balance of any particular account as well as the whole of the Bor. ugn Fund arid it is simple and easy enough to effect this." Mr McTavish lure explains the form of book he would recommend and lefers to the journal, petty casu-book, etc. U« continues :—" as the rates are col lected half yearly, the audit should be so too ; and I see by clause 118, page 20, it is proposed that quarterly audits be made ; but this need not occasion any, or, at any rate, much extra trouble Waterworks : With occasional supplementary clerical assistance when wanted, I see no reason to create a sepnrate depart ment for the Waterworks Mr Philips infoimod me it wa3 in consideration to have a^ second receiver specially appointed ior this particular duty, and 1 asked for my opinion ; but,in lhe.face of my remarks as to receivers' duties, T cannot recommend such an appointment, and consider it would lead to confusion All Waterworks' rates, as well as others, must go into one common Borough Fund. (See clause 4, pane 93 ; part 9, pages 16 and lu7 ; page 16, already allud-.d to.) Tiiere would thus be two receivers paying into one fund /rom separate books and from different accounts, which I tiling would be objectionable. In tho duties s«t down on page 2 of this report, 1 find that it is contemplated to " institute a system" fur Waterworks, ap*rt from the general sys tem herein comprehended. In thit caso this report will be defunct, as I have not taken such into account Generally, I cousider that the Town Clerk and treasurer, or accountant with the assistance of the receiver, and occasional clerical aid will be quite able to overtake all the work of the Council without any danger of any portion falling into arrears. By tb?s. I mean that all tolls, rates receipts, vouchers for payments, and all book 3of account, ledgers, etc , should ha prepared and kept in tiie Town clerk's office by Himself and the treasurer, or accountant and clerks, and the receiver's duties be confined solely to the receipt of moneys and payment of same into the bank. Borough fund, daily. I think all notices of rates should be posted to secure uniformity of delivery. This would save £50 a year additional pay ments to one of your valuers. The Inspector of Dangerous Goods' duties migbt I think be safely en trusted to the Inspector of Nuisances, and the money saved, £20 a year, appropriated to supplement your messenger's wurkly pay of 12a. which can hardly be considored adequate for his decent support.— ACCOUNT i." T.

Mr Brodia reports under the signature of " Kx perentia Docet," and states that "The principal question is, Can the annual rates made and levied be included in one book ? In my opinion this can be done, and appended in a form that might be adopted and which (I am informed) is used in the City oi Edinbu-Rh. The schedules of general and special rates (15 and 17, v.C, Act, 1807) are exactly simitar, and I see nothing to prohibit their being (with the special rate for Waterworks Loan) recorded all together, if the collection thereof will be theroby simplified If the assessments are to be all included in one book, the rate notices should bo issued on one paper. To carry out this plan »11 the rates should dato from the same day, if possible. . . . Com plaints have, I know been frequently made in cases where property has changed hanas, and the in-coming tenant or new owner has inquired what rateß ara due ih-reon, that subsequent demands are made for ktrears, when he Imagined he h>.d paii all that was due in taking possession. With so many different rate-books to rtsff;r to. accidents of this kind are likely to 0(0 1-. 'if if there were a separate ledger account kept tjs every property in the city, an inquirer c< uld then see at 4 glance if all rates were paid up. Of course, it would entail a large amount of work to start an account of this description, but after wards this annual labour would be no more than posting into the receiver's fair cash-book. Rates are levied on the occupier or owner. The former is therefore the basis of operations. Expenditure : Whether the work of the cash-book (there are aix), journal, and ledger cannot be so ordered that the ledger should at any moment showr the state of any account, &c There are nearly 400 ledger accounts, the state of each appearing on the face of it, and any information re quired being therefore obtainable under the several headings. Whether the City Council accounts should be kept on the mercantile or banking principle appears to be the question at issue. As I cannot see tuat any similarity exists between the collection of rate*—the main source of city revenue—and mercantile every day transactions, I incline to the banking system. There can be no doubt as to which is the simplest, and all the Council's requirements would be mat, without a multiplicity of several entries and confusing verbiage." Mr tJrodie here describes vi hat he regards as the proper system of collecting rates. He thinks there should always be two in the receiver's depart ment, " otherwise there is no advantage in having the increased accommodation there." He does not thiuk there is any necessity of extra assistance in the Waterworks department, the collection of the special rate (water) being a very simple matter for the trea surer to deal with He considers that pending the alteration of Municipal laws, it wouJd not be wise to make aDy change", and concludes. "It appears that the paid to the three chief clerks, together wi'-h the Mayor's allowance, at the present time amounts to exactly the same as wa< paid to the sauae officials five years ago, when the Council cune into existence. It is not exaggeration to say that the work has since then increased tenfold, and that this year tho additional work will be more than ever,"

ANTI-SLANG SOCIETY.

HEEOTC EFFORTS OF YOUNG LATVIEB TO SUPPRESS THE AMERICAF LANGUAGE.

The "Reform Club" is the title of a new organiza tion in the West Knd, organized by young ladies for the purpose of discouraging the use of "slang phrasei" in conversation. At a recent meeting, while a member was addressing the society, she inadvertently nude use of the expression "awful nice," and was called to order by a sister member for transgressing the rules. . "In what way have I transgressed?" asked the speaker, blushing deeply. . • "You said it would be 'awful nice to admit young gentlemen to our deliberations," replied the other. "Well, wouldn't It be?1' returned the speaker: " you Snow you said yourself no longer as;o than yesterdiy that —" ■ " Yes, I know ; but you said ' awful nice.' That's slang " " Well," said the speaker, tartly, " if you are going to be so awful nice about it. perhaps it is; but I wouldn't say anything if I were you. Didn t you tell Sallie Spriggins, this morning, to pall down her basquo ?"' . '• No, I didn't," retorted the other, her face growing crimson : " and Sallie Spriggins will say I didn't. She won't go back on me " " This is a nice racket you are giving us, cried the President, af tar rapping both speakers to order, '* Let us ask, what Is the object of this society ?" "To discourrge slang1!" cried a dozen voices, " Kerect," said the President, "go on with the funeral " A member rose to explain that she had been fined at the last meeting for saying " awful nice" herself, but she hadn't the "stamps" to pay it now—would eett'e however, " in tl>e sweet by and by." "That'll be all right," said the President; "pay when you have the ducats."..t*? Another member yitsked if a young lady could say, •' old splendid" without subjecting herself to a fine " You bet she can't," said the President, who was the oriftinal founder of the society, and was therefore appealed to when any nice question waa to be decided. " Then " said the speaker, "ImoTe that Miranda Pew ceme down with the dust, for Ihesrd her say, that her beau was " just old splendid." Miranda* face was in a blaze as she cried:

" "Well, if toy bfeatt was such an old halr-piii as your fellow is, I wouldn't say it." " Shoot the chinning," cried the president. " Will you never tumble?" "But the con ur.ioD was too great to be ailayed Miranda's blood was up ; some tidfd with her, and others against her, and amid the Babel that followed, could be heard snch exclamations as " diy up," *• nlco blackberry you are," " wipe cff your chin," " hire a hall,' etc , when a motion to adjourn was carried "by a large majority.'1

THEATRICAL ROW WITH MISS CLARA STEPHENSON.

At Adelaide, Miss Clara Sfcephenson has jusfc had a very pretty quarrel with Mr Towers, whose clever little daughter Rosa is well remembered and liked by Christchurch folks. Several versions of the story have got abont, and as considerable interest has been taken in the matter by professional people and others, the acconut, as given in the Register, may be welcome : —During the perfor mance of "Nick of the Woods," on July 24, throughout the piece Miss Stephenson appeared to be Buffering from a severe cold, and her voice was at times almost inaudible. In the middle of the 6econd act she suddenly stepped forward and asked the audience to excuse her inabiltty to perform her part properly. She had been treated that day moat outrageously and cruelly, and she could scarcely stand. This speech was received with cheers and other signs of approbation, and the play proceeded. At the end of the last act Mr Frank Towers came forward, aud was greeted with prolonged yells, hisses, and hootings. "When he obtained a hearing, he endeavoured in the midsb of a storm of hisses to explain his version of the affair—something to the effect that if Miss Stephenson had only told him she was so ill, he would not have asked her to play. In answer to a perfoot storm of cries and calls, Miss Stephenson came before the curtain, and said, in an agitated and almost inaudible, voice, she had done her best during her engage ment. She had sat up sometimes until daylight, and had worked night and morning. She was sure everyone in the city could prove that she had tried her best;. They had seen her in new parts nearly every night, and she had had to work hard. She had had to employ two dress makers, and keep one constantly in the house. She had been most outrageously abused, and if they would let her speak in the Court on Thursdry next she could prove it. (Loud applause.) Each time Mr Towers appeared on the stage he was greeted with a storm of hisses, even in the afterpiece, until Mr Chaplin had to come forwurd and request the audience to desist. Miss Stephenson, on the other hand, was received with applause every time she made her appearance. Tho case came before the Police Court on the 27ch, when the Bench found Miss Stepbenson guilty of neglect in carrying out her duties, and fined her £2 with costs, -in ail, £6 10s.

THE OPERA. LA FILLE DE MADAME ANGOT.

This extraordinary and popular Opera BonJl'e was pro ducad to a crowded house at the new Theatre lust night by the Simonsen Oompiny, and produced on an Auckland audience the same remarkable effect as it has on every audience it has boeii brought before yet —that is to say it compelled the most enthusiastic suc cess, not only ou account of its rich aud sparkling mu sic, bat f-quallyon nceonntof its interesting aud di-li cately woven plot, beautiful scenery, anrtappoitinents. Our lengthy notice of tho details o( tho performance is crowded out to-day by pr*ss of matter, but we can say with truth that the w»y this opera was produced la»t night would do no discredit to a London theatre Everything was as perfect as It could be The orchestra fairly r«velled in the luxurious music, Madame Simonsen and her coa jutors on the stiige rendered the various characters magnificently. and|the scenery, aud mounting could hardly have been in better taate. We anticipate that l.» Fille de Madame Angot will have a long run. To-night we understand h dress circle setts are nearly all engaged already.
