THE ENGLISH THAMES.

THE panorama was exhibited twice on Satur day, in the afternoon to youngsters, and in til- "veiling to adults, and was avcll attended Os/^Xch occasion. These faithfully execu ted .pictures grow in favor, especially with persons who know the grand old river, and there are few Englishmen in Auckland who do not recognize some locality in close prox imity to its peaceful windings. We have referred to many of its bordering spots in relation to poetry and art, still there are many left untouched. Twickenahm Ait, or the Eel-pie House, is an excellent repre rentntion, and as we look upon the scene of the island-tavern which the eye of Jeannic Deans is supposed to have rested upon, ac cording to Sir "Walter Scott, a crowd of memories flood the mind. AYe think, not so much of Walpole, whose character Macauley held in light esteem, as of that cluster of literary worthies which engaged the thought* of Thackeray in his very read able " English Humourists" ; we mean the Twickenham coterie, including Swift, Pope, and Gay, with Arbutlmot, Halifax, War! burton, and others of less note, avlio were wont to sport upon the villa-lawns slop ing down to the sparkling river. A little, modest mansion, hard by, was occupied by Lady Mary Wortley Montague, who pleased and teased the Twickenham Bard at her own capricious will. A volume of fair dimensions might be written upon tins locality, embracing no more than live miles in extent. The Ait was frequented much by Dickens, Albert Smith, Leigh Hunt, and other modern worthies ; although John Forster says but little of the fact, In his friendly memoir of the great age novelist. We must however, rein in the pen, and come back to the Evening Star, which has but two pages to spare for all the news of the day. We simply recom mend all persons who have not "seen the panorama of the Thames, to do so without delay, associated as it is, with the history of England, and illustrated in the Theatre Royal, with the explanations of Mr. Ken nedy, the songs of Mrs. Cotterell, a member of the Carandini family, the comicalities of Mr. Cottorell, and the appropriate har monies of the orchestra.

SATURDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT.

The Temperance Hall was Avell attended on Saturday night, and its patrons appeared to appreciate the songs, recitations, and farces, given for their edification. Mr. Andrew mentioned the geographical position of New Guinea, and its climate and A-cgetablc pro ductions, and thought the climate might almost produce tails. Mr. Buchannan and his sons favoured the audience : these lads bid fair to be really capital singers. Mr. McKcnzie's recitation was well received, and was carefully rendered. Miss Jack sang better than usual. Miss Winch combe's voice was inaudible at the end of the hall. Her brother came out in good style in the

"Lightening charger," his bone playing being especially good,and his rapid make-up, surprising. Mr. Hodgson only gave one comic song, which produced much merriment. Mrs. Homer re ceived an encore, which she truly merited. Miss Hall's singing Avas remarkably good, and we assure her "was much appreciated. Messrs. Marsen and Cornish sang two fine songs in good A-oice and style, and were thoroughly admired. The "Tailed farce" and the National Anthem concluded the entertainment.

Assaulting A Wife.

A MAN named John Windsor was appre hended at Onehunga last night, by Consta ble Green, on a charge of violently assault ing his wife. Windsor lost his arm some three or four years ago on a tramway at the Thames, and since that period has become a settled drunkard. His children are in the Industrial School. Last evening he came home in a state of savage intoxication, and, without any apparent provocation, he struck his wife on the arm with a bill-hook, but the wound was not serious. He Avill be brought up before the Resident Magistrate to answer for his bru tality.

THE CEMETERY GRIEVANCE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —Will you allow me through the medium of your paper to apprise the public of what I deem a lack of honour and good taste, an injustice to myself, and a public grievance. Like many other persons who have sought a home in the antipodes, I havo have had to commit to the bosom of the Auckland Cemetery those I dearly loved. A parcel of unoccupied ground was selected under the direction of the sexton, the then only authority. A good substantial fence enclosed the ground for five or six graves, three of which are already occupied, .and I have still a numerous family who would prefer some day lying beside their friends. I have not in anyway altered the original plan or appropriated a single inch of ground, but merely planted shrubs and spent weeks of labour, as the sexton can testify, when no one else immediately con cerned either cleared a pathway, gravelled a walk, or opened a water course. Indeed it was one of those places just where a visitor could sit upon the bank side to rest or think ; and to show that I have not been niggardly, my last account to Buchanan was near £30. lie-visiting this place, in order to trim the grass-bed, what was my chagrin to find the pathway blockaded up, and even my fence undermined. I have no aversion to the honoured gentleman that lies there, but had some poorer person's friends requested the favour they would have been spurned with indignity. On enquiring who gave such an unwarrantable permission, I was in formed Mr Jones, who Ineithorjknow nor want to know; Ido not know either upon what terms he holds ofiice. But Ido know that some person ages services are dear at a gift, and that those thus entrusted require largely developed the bump of order and the badge of honesty. Although I believe I have done more than any other poor man personally to improve for some distance around that place in question. I gave £1 towards the alteration in the walks, etc., and when I think of the difference in my means and these intruders, it seems to some extent the re enactment of Naboth's vineyard, or the poor man's ewe lamb. Beside, I think, that the good old sire's sons have shewn very bad taste by almost shunting their father's remains in a crop patch and thus blockading up one of the most useful and nicely laid out walks. Would they not have displayed more wisdom and respect had they selected a nice position, cleared and beautified it 1 But 'tis like Auckland all over. For years another cemetery has been talked about, consequently the present one will be closed, and a beautiful specimen it will be for people to visit, with its miserable paths and dis orderly arrangements. But perhaps just now Auckland will" wake up, and even the poor will notsubmitto be trampled upon. If anyoncdoubts my veracity, let them just pay a visit to the cemetery, and open his eyes. The gates are always open and always will be. until hydraulic power is introduced to close them. Hoping that while I am away people will see that their money is spent judiciously, and the resting-places of their friends are not unnecessarily encroached upon.—l remain, A lover of order and fair play, C. Si'KAGG.

DISTRICT COURT.—This Day.

(Before F. D. Fenton, Esq., District Judge)

LKAVIS BROS. A T. JAMES PEACHY

Claim, £42 ISs 4d. Mr Meyer for plaintiffs, Mr Kissling for defendant.

This Avas a claim for goods and commis sion, the particulars of which were heard last Court day, and on Avhich his Honor reserved judgment. Mr Kissling said that since the hearing of this case two Avitnesses had voluntarily come forward in favor of defendant: They knew a great deal about the matters in dis pute, and had simply come fonvard in the interests of justice. His Honor said that the case being actually closed, he could not admit further evidence ; lie had carefully gone through the particulars, and Avas prepared Avith bis judgment to the best of his ability. If Mr Kissling wished to introduce new evidence, the better AVay Avould be to move for a ncAV trial. The evidence was very confused, and lie thought plaintiffs had not made out wholly the various items of the account, and after deducting a por tion of the.claim, and admitting part of de fendant's set-off, his Honor gave judgment for plaintiffs for £18, no costs. Mr Kissling then made application for a neAV trial, as the Avitnesses previously re ferred to could give important evidence. Mr Meyer objected that his clients should be brought to Court again, because Mr Kissling had heard something about other Avitnesses.

Mr Kissling said that Peachy could prove that the evidence which bad not been given by the Avitnesscs named Avas most material in the case, and of Avhich lie Avas not aware of at the time of the hearing. If a new trial were not granted, there Avotild be a miscar riage of justice. His Honor said it Avould be a dangerous precedent to grant a hcav trial immediately after judgment. He must decline. L. D NATHAN AND CO. V. ALEX. HUNTER. ' Claim, £68 10s. This Avas a claim for goods and money lent. Mr Meyer appeared for plaintiffs, and stated that defendant had taken advantage of the Debtors and Creditors Act; hence there Avas no appearance of plaintiffs. Ryan, Bell and Co., v. R. li. Graham, claim £100. Mr. Kissling for plaintiffs, Mr. Heskcth for defendant. In this action, Mr. Heskcth confessed judincnt for the amount claimed Costs £o" 13s.

A. DXITIUE V. JOHN BOOTH.

Mr. UHefkcth for plaintiff, Mr. Rees for defend alThis was a claim for money paid, and was a most intricate matter, involving three persons, namely Alexander Uuthie, John Simpson, and John s'oolh, who borrowed the sum of £100 of Mr Swanson, for the purpose of completing a building at the corner of Ho bson and Cook-street. The question of responsibility was the question atJohn eßootli deposed that in November of 1872 he was indebted, £103 to Jolin Simpson, but lie naid him He did not remember meeting- Simp- BonandDuthiein Sceats Hotel on the 13th o that month, nor did he remember being asked wliat"was due from Simpson on the contract business lie did not agree to pay £100toDuthie on behalf of Simpson, providing that Simpson nfetabilldueto Mr Swanson tor that amount. He re eWe a receipt from Simpson for £100, o a the 30th November in the Queen's Hotel, but Duthic was not present. He paid to Simpson on that date five £20 notes ; there were aboiit£b in extras which he subsequently paid He had Said £35 to Mr Kirby on an order of Simpson's. Had never actually squared up with Simpson.as had never tendered his account He ... uv-"Jr n out of business several years, and had had o>^ *■—»ks. sold all his oo^ •• here put in, written out by An account was • ''John Booth," was witness, but the signature. —-itli Simpson in not his.

Div asked witness in June following it he would accept an order of Simpson's tor £100; but he refused to have anything to do with it. Uuthie said he had endorsed a note for Simpson for £100. He was not desirous of mixing up with their business. , To i'>ir Kees: Received a letter irom Messrs Hes keth and Richmond to pay money on Simpson's account. That was in .July 1873: saw I Hit hie about the same time, who told him that lie was going t) fetch Simpson from the Waikato to get the -::00. Jyuthie did not intimate Thai a claim was l7;ely to be made upon witness. He received a oill in Mr G-ilmour's hand writing,handedtohim by Dutiiie, for £115, with an order from Simpson t) pay £100. but he refused. Alexander Duthic, shipbuilder, deposed that he* walked down Queen-strcat with Sir. Booth, in November 1872, and they went into the British. The subject of this action was then discussed. He was afraid that he should not yet his money from Simpson. He asked Mr. Uootli what was the money due to Simpson, when he replied about £100. Simpson, who was present, said it was more, and referred to his pocket-book. lie then asked Booth, that if he got a receipt of £IOU from Simpson, on the job, would ho pay witness the balance, he at once consented to do so. JL£o then asked him for a bill for a month. He said, no but when tho job is finished, I will give you *b?!balance, which be about £100, He'fWM

got some note paper, on which Simpson wrote a receipt for £100. He passed it to Booth. No money passed from Booth to Simpson. His Worship : Is Simpson alive I Counsel: Caught in the Waikato, and is now outside.
