Mr He.^ketb, previous to calling witrjesscs for the nefence. addressed the yiry for his clients, in which he denied that any bona fide agre; meat for £10 a week wa° ever made between Captain Souter snd Mr Vickery ; all that was agreed upon was that plaintiff was to prepare certain plans for the purpose of ascrr'aiDirtg; the probable cost of the con templated work. After evidence for defence had been taken, The jury returned a verdict for nlaintifi of £193 12s and costs.

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM T. BUCK LAND.

When the paragraph appeared last evening referring to the dangerous illness of Mr William Thome Buckland we did not think it would be our painful duty on the following day to chronicle his death. But so it is ; Mr Buckland expired at his residence, JELemuera, yesterday, and thus another of New Zealand's oldest and most energetic settlers has past to his rest. Mr Buckland arrived in the colony from South Australia in 1841, and for several years carried on the butchering business in Auckland, fulfilling for two years a contract for supplying the military. He afterwards entered into pastoral puisuits, in which his natural energy and foresight were again displayed, and he soon took a position as one of Auck land's most successful settlers He was elected to the Provincial Council and General Assembly for the electorate of Franklin, and represented that district for twenty years. He was a man of strong char stcter, and hence made fast friends and bitter political enemies, but that his brusque out spoken manner had won general popularity is best proved by the continuous occupation of his seat for the constituency which fi.st chose him as its representative. Mr Buckland was wonderfully successful in his dealings with natives, and the lands beyond Cambridge, where there are now several fine runs, were opened up mainly through his instrumentality. It is fitting that we should say now, when he has been removed beyond the reach of praise or cen sure, that Mr Buckland was made of that sterling stuff which has built up England's great colonies, and as a settler of the right type the province has lost in him one it could ill spare.

For thi cause ihat lacks assistance,

And the good that we can do. Sic,—l hav«»been charged publicly in Queen- Btreet as being a traitor to Sir George Grey and his party. In justice to myself, and in honor, I wish to ask Mr Sheehan the 'fol lowing question :—Did he not know that I was pledged to Farnall and worked hard for him ? I ask putlicly that Mr Moat and Mr Farnal) should release me from so foul a charge.—l am, &c, Richard J. Felttts, Symonds-street.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

"THE SHAUGHRAUN."

The cordial reception which Mr Charles "Wheat lefgh and Dion Boucicault's great play, " The Shaugh rann," met with last night must hwe satisfied the most sceptical that Auckland play-goers have a very keen nose for scenting out anything- extra good, either in acting or in dramatic composition. Last night treats in both were presented to us, and the frequent applause and peals of laughter alike from the gay dress-circle and full pit showed how heartily they were appreciated and enjoyed. The plot of the play has been so fully commented on that it is not necessary to go through it again, but we may add that the. story is woven with the greatest artistic talent: 'Incidents abound, and lead to the most interesting situations : the dialogue is replete with sparkling humour of a characteristic type, with which every now and then touches of true pathos combine in & charming manner, and finally the climax is arrived at In that skilful, graduating way peculiar to Boucicault go thit the heroine, hero, and audience are all made happy together. As Conn, the Shaughrann, Mr Wheatleigh eyen surpassed the reputation which had preceded him. As a comedian, he is one of the very best we have ever seen. Many comic actors understand fully the art of declamation, and the force which attaches to a gesture or a pose, but very few, we will venture to say, know how to convey so much with so little apparent intention as Mr Wheat loigh. Whether it be by an elevation of the brow, by a comnression of the lips, or by a turn of the head this great actor so delicately paints with his outward expression the meaning of his lips that there ia little necessity to hear the words. The character of Conn is peculiarly Irish Wayward, impetuous, unruly vagabond as he is there is palpable in all his devilment a vein of affection and fidelity which endears him to us at once, in spite of all his faults; while although he is so ignorant that he cannot read, he yet makes np for the deficiency by a plentiful supply of that "mother wit" as it is called by which a man is " wiae without the rules," and which the ancients distinguished under the expression of crasm Minerva. We would not by saTing too much lead our readers to think we are indulging in hyperbole in thus speaking of Mr Wbeat lsigh. We will therefore only add that the best way for them to confirm our mrre than favourable verdict, or convince us o!untruth.i» to go and see him themselves. >'e*t to Mr Wheatleigh came >hree ver" even rortratts in Miss Carry Gorge's Clare Ffolliott Mr Collier's Harvey Duff, and Mr Lawrenco'a Captain Molytieaux. The firstn»med gave u« a tru" ty pe of the impulsive loving Irish girl: the next was to a nicety the strango mixture of discipline and courtesy w ich constitutes the British officer, unswervli.g from his dut except when exposed to that all powerful influence of a woman's smile which was sufficient 'to attract Sir Kenneth from his watch of the Standard, and make the soldier in the opera sing " Hang the Regulation." Ht Collier gave one of his most su< cessful pieces of acting : he painted the villainy of the bullyine. cow ardly police agent in truly artistic style and his brogue was unexceptionable. Mr Searle's Father Doolan was a ijentlemanlyand intelligent representation, and was the more to be admired, inasmuch as it "was unob trusive. There was also more repose about the char acter than is usually evident in this actor's efforts. Miss Jenny Nye's Moya was winning and true te nature and called forth frequent applause, Mr Bur ton's Kinchella was a meritorious representation of the low bred Irish Squireen. Mr Thornton may be said, after Mr Wheatleif-h, to have had the lion's sh» re of the work, for in addition to having an ar Juou? part to play in that of Kobert Pfolliott he has surpassed all former triumphs in his scene painting. To select two which pleased us most we should mention the cottage and the prison scene; In the latter a novelty was introduced in the use of machinery by which the scene changed from inside to out side the walla in a surprising manner. This caused loud and continued shouts of applause. Mr Thornton had to appear in answer to repeated calls. Mrs Searle made a capital Mrs O'Kelly—Conn's mother, and Miss Lizzie Basche was dressed charm ingly as Arte O'Neill. Mr Wheatleigh was enthusias tically called before the curtain at the close of the piece; In concluding our notice, we must remark upon the improvement which was manifest in the subordinate characters We under stand that this is due to Mr Wheatlelgb's unwearying pereonal superintendence of all the details. ' The Bhaughraun," it is certain, will enjoy a long run in Auckland. WILSONS CIRCUS. Thig interesting place of amusement was crowded last evening, part y In consequence of the announce ment that a new programme promising the appearance of the whole of the ladies, and partly in consequence of the popularity of the circus. The appearance of the«e ladies, vi*., M'dlles Leon. Annie, Kosano and Grade, brought forth the expressive enthusiasm of the audience, and their successive graceful performan ces were subjects of general admiration. There must have been at least two thousand persons in the circus. M'lle Annis was much applauded in her menage act, which was very perfect. M'lle Gracie's trapeze per formance was equally graceful; the other ladies also Were successful. Ali Hadj Hamo, known as the Arab wonder, performed his dagger and gun act with unmistakeable precision, and bowed bis thanks te an appreciative auditory. Without going critically into the special merits of the many scenes of the circus, we may say conscientiously that the circus is worthy all that can be s»id in its favor, and those who desire aplo9sant evening in company with their children, "nay enjoy such beneath the canvas any evening during the present week, which is the last week of the circus.

THE FRANKLIN ELECTION.

Sir,—l addressed the settlers of Maketu oa Tuesday evening last, and, in the course of my address, I mentioned with regret that Sir George Grey's party was weakened by the candidature of Mr Lusk, and that the Central Committee (a meeting of which was w> be held that same evening) would possibly decide on withdrawing him, and "running" nun for City West. This was dssignated a despicable and unworthytelection trick." v ßo ' '"°^s are common among us. Be it what it may, it was and is still the line that Prudence indicates. I was in the field long •wore Mr Lusk. My lengthy and plain ■Pokenl address to the electors wm ia

the hands of the public long before Mr Lnsk bad decided to become a candidate for Franklin. The entire complication has been brought about by the imprudence of the Centra! Committee in putting Mr Lusk forward against me, and if thnr uowise action end in disaster to the cause of Sir George Grey and the country, on the Central Committee be the blame. Let the Central Committee even now withdraw Mr Lusk and secure the return of two supporters of Sir Geoif c Grey : in a word, let them sub stitute in their own counsel patriotism for pigheadedness.—l am, etc., W. Woodward.

[This letter, which should, have been re ceived yesterday, only came to hand through fchs post after one o'clock to-day, or Mr Woodward certainiy would have been en titled to the benefit of such explanation as it affords prior to the election. The version we have received of Mr Woodward's remarks differs materially from the above, but even this statement practically confirms our view of the subject, for at no time had the Central Committee or Mr Lusk the slightest intention of retiring from the attitude they had taken up in the contest. Under the circumstances it was a grave error of judgment, to say the least, on Mr Woodward's part if he desired to act fairly, to have circulated in an out-of the-way part of the district a groundless report calculated to damage an opponent.—

Franklin Election.

THIS DAY.

The polling in the Franklin election takes place to-day, and by four o'clock the most in teresting election of the suburban districts will be decided. The polling places are : Otahuhu, Papakura, Waiuku, Pokeno, Wai roa, Pukekohe, Patumahoe, Bombay, Maketu. The candidates are : Messrs Ham lin and H. H. Lnsk (Opposition ticket), Messrs May and Goodfellow (Abolition ists), and Mr Woodward, the indepen dent candidate. The last - named who declares in favour of Sir George Grey, hut denies the authority of the Cen tral Committee, has been repeatedly asked to retire in favor of one of the recognzed Opposition candidates, but has refused. The Ministerialist candidates provided a special train leaving Auckland at half-past two o'clock for the benefit of their city suppor ters, while the Oppositionists supplied coaches at 10, 12, and 2 o'clock. A good member of the free and indepen dent adopted these means of proceeding to the poil. Our arrangements for secur ing the results by carrier pigeons are nearly perfect, and we may therefore express confi dence in being able to give the totals in a late edition.

MEETING AT THE NORTH SHORE.

A meeting of the electors of the Waitemata District was held at the Devonport Hall last night, the object being to get the bulk of the electors to combine to vote for one of the three other candidates against Dr Lee. Not much interest was taken in the meeting as it was generally believed nothing would come of it,and of the candidates concerned only Mr J. S. Macfarlane had agreed to abide by the decision. Mr Atkin was voted to the chair. There was a great deal of discussion and a resolution was passed approving of the desira bility of making the choice, but when it came to selecting one, the meeting refused to pledge itself to abide by the result. It was then thought that the sense of the meeting should be taken by ballot. This was pro posed and carried*into effect, bo far that the papers were duly signed, collected and taken to the chairman. But that official, in the most innocent way in the world quietly mixed the used and unused papers. This prevented any scrutiny, and the meeting, having indulged in much laugh ter at their own and the chairman's conduct, refused to "do it again" and surreptitiously skedaddled.
