FURTHER PARTICULARS

This morning telegrams bring us bad tidings of the Pretty Jane. Not only was she not floated.-off last night, but she has sanded up to such an extent, that the work of getting her afloat,-if accomplished at all, Avill not lie effected without great expense. The New Zealand Insurance Co., received the following this morning :—

" GISBORNE, this day. " Jane settled doAvn in sand : Compart ment all full of Avater. Bottom much damaged. Only appliance avc have are tanks and casks. Send Californian pumps and centrifugal if you can get one. Capt. wants to condemn and abandon. Cargo is all out, but much damaged. We await Instructions."

The A.S.P. formally gave notice of aban donment yesterday afternoon, but the Insnrauce offices liua'c refused to accept abandonment, and are sending Mr. Gouk Avitli men aud appliances to the assistance of the A-essel, by the Southern Cross, which left this afternoon for Gisborne and Napier. Captain Chrisp, .the Harbour-master of Gisborne, Avho has been in Audkland the last feAV clays, also returns by the Southern Cross. Only a small portion of the cargo is insured. The loss Avill fall in some cases, on the shippers, and in others on the consignees who take delivery on board the boat.

ROBERTS V. PERKINS,

The English champion played his second exhibi tion match at the Mechanic's Institute last night, his opponent boing tho wcll-knoAvn host of the Occidental Hotel, Mr E. Perkins, AA'ho received 500 out of 1000. The assemblage Avas much more numerous than on the previous evening, there boing about 140 gentlemen present. It Avill be seen that the game Avas well-contested, tho champion only Avinning by 38 points. Mr John Hart marked and called the game Avith accuracy , and distinctness. THE GAME. Roberts gave a miss in baulk at 813, and Per kins went for tho cannon off the spot, in Avhich, however, he failed. Roberts missed a cannon, and Perkins got a flukey loser, Avhich he supplemented by tAvo pretty "jennies" into the left middle.and other strokes, which brought, the game to 10 " love." Roberts then, beginning with two cannons, ran up 12. Perkins potted the Avhitc and left double baulk. Roberts missed tho cannon, and Perkins brought up his total to 21. Roberts noAV got the spot stroke on, but ho only made three. Game- Perkins, 531; Roberts, 22.

He then lost position, but kept on Avith delicately executed cannons to 87; still going on, at 95 he made a magnificent long "jenny" into the right top. At 8-25 ho passed his "first. 100, tho break being kept up by splendid all round play.

This tinic he put the red down 13 times. His second 100 was passed at B\3o, and after a magnificent display of all-round skill, combined .with a good sample illustration of the famous spot stroke, the trreat player finished his break at 211, after making 189 off the balls. Ho was, of course, loudly applauded. Perkins made a few, and Roberts added 8. Perkins then made a pretty screw loser and a "jenny." Game—ooß to 212. After two or three ineffectual efforts on either side, Roberts, at 231, made a run of 29, in which Avas an extraordinary cannon. All three balls wore in a line under the cushion, and he somo hoAV forced his OAvn ball betAvcen the white and the cushion, running it up with strong side on to the red.

ENTERTAINMENTS LAST NIGHT.

SIR HENRY HAVELOCK LODGE. i The members of the Sir Henry Havelock Lodge of Good Templars hold a concert last evening in the Edwardos-street School-room for tho piano forte fund. Shortly after the opening of the doors, the room was crowded iv every part by a respectable audience, and what was romarkable, the room was quite free from tho noisy boys Avho are in the habit of interrupting the pro ceedings of some Templar entertainments. Mr David Goldie occupied the chair, and in a wcll set speech explained tho immediate object of the concert, AvhicliAvas to assist in paying the balance duo on the pianoforte. Mr Goldie stated that £10 Avere cleared by the previous concert, and that meeting seemed to promise a like sum. They mot to interest and elevate one another by healthful recreation, and instead of argument, they had music. He then proceeded Avith the programme, which Avas rather lengthy. Mr Butschkow presided at the piano. The Mloav ing songs wore sung by the ladies:—•' Break it Gently to my Mother," and " Beautiful Days of tho Past," by Miss Jessie Woods; " Father bring Homo your Money To-night," by Miss Gribble ; " Tho Lover and the Bird," by Mrs Cottingham; also, songs by the Misses Cottingham. Songs wore also sung by gentlemen : " The Heart Bowed Down," by Mr McCappan; " Tho Queen of Avonmore," by Mr Carter ; "Sleep on Dearest," by Mr Redferh ; " The Death of Nelson," by Mr Ncal; " "Pis Hard to Love," by Mr Butschkow; " Tho Sleigh Song," by Mr Howden ; and "Nursery Rhymes," by Mr Hodgson."

A scene from "Bombastcs Furioso," was also porformed in character, by Messrs. Squirrel, Young, and BroAvn. We must not omit to mention Mr Howden's accompaniments on the flute, which added much to the musical part of the entertainment. Altogether the concert was very successful. AVELLESLEY-STREET BAPTIST SCHOOL. This concert in aid of the FestiA-al fund of the "Wellesley-street Baptist School was also avcll attended. Mr John Brame Avas called to tlie chair, Mr Soaring H. Matthews conducted tho choir, and Mr John Hcrapath presided at the harmonium. The meeting was opened with prayer, and subsequently tho following pro gramme was executed: Song aud chorus by the choir " Happy children are we;" " Watching for pa;" and " Signs of the times."

Newton; "The old man and the croAv,:' by Miss Hazard; " One niche highor,"from Elihu Burnett, by Master Crancli; " Tho bad little boy avlio did not come to grief," a satire on Sunday Schools from the facile pen of Mark Twain, by Charles Brown. This piece called forth somo severe strictures from the Chairman, who considered the reading unlit for scholars of a Sunday School, and hoped the boys present Avould not bo influenced by such a burlesque upon truth. Several.moral and sacred pieces wore thou given, much to tho pleasure of all pre sent. The Spoiling Boe Avas then introduced for scholars under twelve years of age. Mr Matthews conducted. Miss Nellie Battley Avas the successful competitor, and received as the prize, a pretty volume, entitled, " Truth is Everything." In the second contest Miss Steven son led the way, and Avon the prize "Nothing to Nobody,"a small volume with an oxccllcntmoral. After 'some other business the mooting con cluded with tbe benediction. NEWTON* CONGREGATIONAL SCHOOL. A lime light entertainment Avas given last CA-cnintc in tho Newton Congregational School, for the "increasing of the-iicav church fund of the Primitive Methodist connection. Rev W. Tinsley in tho chair. Tho views Avero exhibited by Mr YV. Denncs, of Queen-street, and included some of the linest A'icw.s in Scotland and Ireland, in connection with the romances and poetry of those neighbouring isles. The whole was of a very entertaining character, and closed with the National Anthem.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The various musical and other performances at the theatre last evening differed in feAV respects from those of the previous evening. Mrs Hall took the leading character in the brief comedy which succeeded the musical novelties of Mr Kohler, and those of the comedian and vocalist, Mr Bent. Mr Wand's selections on the piano and violin. Tlie performances Avere of a satis factory and pleasing character. This evening Avill be devoted to the services of Messrs Kohler and Bent for their special beneiit, on which occasion Mr John Hall has kindly tendered his services. An entire change of programme has been made, including new comic acts, neAv specialities, cnrlinj,' with the laughable comecty farce of " Woodcock's Little Game." As this is the last night, the house should be croAvdcd.

CITY COUNCIL.

The ordinary meeting of the City Council Avas held this day at 2.30 p.m. Present :— His Worship the Mayor, B. Tonks Esq., Councillors Goldie, Prime, Masefield, Dick son, Brett, Yon der Heyde, Cosgrave. MINUTES. Councillor Dickson pointed out the omis sion of a question in the minutes, and he agreed to put the question again so as to save emendation of the minutes. A DENIAL. His Worship the Mayor said ho noAV took the earliest opportunity of referring to a statement made by Mr —iioav Councillor— Dickson Avhile he' (the Mayor) Avas in Wel lington. Mr Dickson had stated [that he (Mr Tonks) and his partner were the sureties for the Avaterworks contract. He Avould say in plain language that the statement was an unmitigated falsehood. And it Avas disgraceful, and coAvardly for any man to make such a statement regard ing an absent men. Councillor Dickson said he had seen the names of Mr Tonks and his partner in the copy of the deed in his office, and as soon as he learned that the Mayor denied the statement, he had made the amende honorable in the Press.

His Worship said the gravity of the offence was in circulating the falsehood Avhile he was absent. People, before making such statements, shot:'■ I take care to A'crify them.

Councillor Dickson : I am n X quite sure that I am altogether mistaken, after all.

" BULFORD PUT THAT MAN OUT !"

The folloAving letter aa'us read: "City Council, Auckland, October 9.^-To His Worship the Mayor and Councillors : Gen tlemen, —I respectfully make the folloAving report: —On Saturday, the 7th inst., at about 10.30 a.m., Mr Halliday, cabinet maker, Shortland-street, called at the office to complain of a nuisance, proceeding from a aa .iter-closet attached by the side of the premises occupied by him in O'Council street), and belonging to the police es tablishment in Chancery Lane. I Avent Avith Mr Halliday to see the nuisance complained of, and he pointed the matter of complaint out. We Avent to the police establishment. I asked one of the con stables if he Avould be kind enough to shcAv me tbe water-closet, fixed upstairs. He referred me to the Sergeant-Major, avlio went AA'ith us, and opened the door of the closet, and remained some time with us. I Avas desirous to find out the cause of the nuisance complained of, and where it pro ceeded from. I procured a screAV-drivcr, and unscrewed lavo screAVs from the front of the seat of the closet, and Avas in the act of replacing them, Avhcn Sergeant Bulford desired me to come Avith him. Mr Halliday follOAved me, and avc were shewn into a room occupied by Inspector Broham, who, in a most indignant maimer demanded who authorised me to enter these premises. I said I have conic in my official capacity, and ill the execu tion of my duty as officer appointed by the Local Board of Health when he jumped to his feet and approached me close, and, more like a demon than a man said "d n you, leave the premises." I said "Mr. Broham I asked permission to be shewn the closet, as a complaint had been made about it." He said-" Who gave you permission ?" I replied " The Serjeant-Major." He said again " d n you leave these premises instantly, or I'll kick you down stairs. Hoav dare you to enter on Government property," saying to Serjeant Bulford "Remove this man instantly." So I pro ceeded to go clown stairs when avc Avere met by Sub-Inspector Pardy who came running up Avhen Inspector Broham called out "Pardy, remove that man, and sec that he does not enter on these premises again." 1 said to Pardy " Don't lay hands on me; I will walk out." I firmly believe I'AVOUId have been assaulted and maltreated had not Mr. Halliday been present. I res pectfully ask that an inquiry be made into this unfair abuse. If the head of the Police establishment Avill give me such treatment in discharging my duty, the public will, in many instances, folloAV the same example.— I am, gentlemen, yours obedienrly, Geo. Goi/die, Sanitary Inspector.

Mr Tonks said he had made inquiries into the matter, and had ascertained that the matter arose from a stopped .drain. He 'thought tlic Inspector had slightly exceeded his duty. Mr. Waddell said the matter ought to be inquired into. Tlie Inspector had no right to insult the Council's Inspector because he was in authority. Councillor Cosgrave suggested that a copy of "Good Words" should be sent to Mr. Broham. Councillor Dickson said if it had been Paddy Murphy avlio had committed the nuisance lie would receive no consideration. Councillor Waddell : Especially as his nuisance Avould bo as had as any other man's. A motion was proposed, that the matter be reported to tlie Defence Office, with a request that the conduct of Mr Broham bo inquired into. An amendment was carried, in favcr of the matter being first inquired into by the Sanitary Committee. RUTLAND-STREET. A letter drawing attention to tlie state of this street was read. Mr Cosgrave : "T.8.H." again ! The letter stated that the corner of Queen and Rutland-streets was " the regular resort of a set of foul-mouthed hoodlums," and a lamp there would be better than half a-dozen policemen. The letter was rcceiA^ed. , FINANCE COMMITTEE.

AUCKLAND CHORAL SOCIETY.

■ Mr. J. F. Barnett's cantata, "Paradise and the Peri," composed for and produced at the Birmingham Musical Festival of 1870; A\ ras performed by the members of this Society last evening. It attracted a large audience, but the performers were beloAv the aA rerage both in numbers and in pro ficiency. The cantata is a bold attempt on flic part of a young composer to give musical shape to a subject Avhich had already recei\red treatment at the hands of such masters as Schumann and Sterndale Bennett. Mr Barnett's music is tuneful and pleasing throughout, but rarely if ever does it rise to au appreciation of the ethereal ideas conveyed in the poem. At tho same time he slioavs a command OA rer the resources of voices and instruments which can scarcely fail to ensure popularity. By folloAving so closely the Avords of the poem, Mr Burnett is obliged to. introduce several A rery un interesting recitatives, some of which were last night judiciously omitted by the con ductor, Mr Edger. The soprano solos Avere divided betAveen Mrs Mitchell and Miss Edger, the contralto was undertaken by Miss A. MaunseU, the tenor by Mr E. Harkcr and Mr Burnham, and the bass by Mr George Harkcr. The last-named gen tleman AA'as hardly successful in his treat ment of the song, " Blest tears," Avhich Avas entirely devoid of expression, and was further marred by a Avant of distinct enunciation. If this singer would only learn to remedy these tAA'o defects he would doAvell. Mr Burnham lacked energy in his solo, but his melodious A roice told Avell in the unaccompanied quartctt "She Avept;" to our mind, the gem of the cantata. The tenor air "Oh if there be on this earthly Sphere" Avas Avell sung by Mr EdAvard Harker, though, perhaps, also deficient in energy. Miss Maunsell pleased us greatly in the beautiful air "One hope is Thine.'" Miss Edger had a difficult task in the music allotted to her, Avhich she per formed Avith great care and exactness. Mrs Mitchell AA'as not in good voice, and her first solo Avas the best. Of the choruses avc liked fc " Go Aving thy Flight," and " While thus she Mused, of Avhich the closing cadence Avithout accompaniment Avas beau tifully given. We Ayerc greatly disap pointed A\rith the final scene of the cantata. The music instead of rising Avith the theme, degenerates into an imitation of Mendels sohn, that strives to copy the sublimity of that great master, but fails in doing so. It is hero that the composer slioavs his Aveak ncss in sacrificingfhe real grandeur of simpli city for combinations Avhicli are incongruous to the Avords, and Avhich "while delighting the senses fail, to lift the heart to a concep tion of the sublime finale. —Sigma.
