Vent the escape from due punishment of admitted gnilt, there must be extraordinary lews in your department. No country in the world could exist with anything like an approach to order, so far as public opinion affords means of judging. Therefore, it is the duty of the Government to publicly in vestige this case, and put a stop to such servants who now seem to exercise an un bounded intimidation. If the existing Go vernment is not sufficient for this matter, the cause of order and the necessity of self protection demand that it should be changed. We are perfectly aware that you have done your duty, and that you are a gentleman of high integrity, and have no desire to re present you in any other character.—lam, etc., Puelico, KihiEihi, 18th June, 1876.

(PER A L HAM BRA.)

MELBOURNE.

The week has been very dull aR regards general news, and the newspapersghave been mostly filled with Stevenson's case, which still occupies the court, while there are other cases to follow. The result is regarded as foregone conclusion, as the evidence as to valuation is very conflicting. The great Learmouth and Bailey case, which from Btart to finish has gcost something like £30,000 in law proceedings has so far resulted in favor of defendant. The proceeds obtained from the Eyrton mines have, after paying working expenses, been paid to a receiver, and there is now some thing like £25,000 in hand. The Hawthorne mystery has been given up, and the police have abandoned further Bearch after the missing Mr Thompson. Roberts, the billiard champion, has been giving exhibitions of his wonderful skill during the week, and has been very fairly patronised, but the games are all one-sided, although he gives great odds to his opponents. He has played on the new table at Govern ment House. An old man named Day, a collector at Say, has, by the death of a relative, come in for £100,000 in England. The "Edinburgh" is expected to repair the Darwtn cable in about a month. The inquests on late fires have resulted in finding open verdicts. Hennessy's case brandy very scarce ; sales 31s 6d ; currants selling freely at 5$ ; sugar also at full rates ; breadstuffa unaltered.

AMUSEMENTS.

EVENINGS WITH DICKENS. The Panopticon, being illustrations of the worn of Dickens, was again exhibited last evening, but strange to say the house was by no means fall. The goenes were described in a kind of a running lecture by Mr Searle, an actor of merit, in a lucid and pleasant manner. Mr BearJ.e"s knowledge of London Ufa and the localities of many of the novelist's most re markable scenes renders him the fittest person for such a position. The songs of Mr« Mitchell and Mr Skinner also aid very much the interest attached to the Panopticon. Mrs Mitchell's rendering of the pathetic ballad of "Little Nell" was extremelr touching. Thi« little story is told in the "Old Cariosity Shop," and known to every reader of Dickens. In addition to the literary illustrations were St. Peter's of Borne, the storming of the Bastlle, and two very taking pictures of tbe murmuring Loire by moonlight "We assure our readers that Skinner's Panopticon is a very excellent entertainment, consist ing of paintings, music, and song. MUSIC AT THE WHATT. Another of those pleasant periodical entertainments for the benefit of tha unfortunate inmates of the Whau Lunatic Asylum took place laat evening in the central part of the building and was largely attended, not only by persons from Auckland, but by the atisto cratio residents of Mount Albert, and the sylvan glades of surrounding localities. The 'buses from ths city were crowded, and much merriment was created on the way, in consequence of the shifts of circum stances, young ladles having to find seats on the knees of the musicians. The programme providsd for the occasion was choico ana ample. Mr William Doran TZnZ n C,Omi^ 8°5 B,? laoxcellent stTle» *»«•• "The "P?n Pwlrc^ ni ln »J*ih he excels, and the tw^m vT* Miss Jessie Woodssang "Beautiful fcnil™% s,° weU on evening. wffmrnpk»l,l^^ WWp-p?Or-WiU" «d the " Little A.

Mettam Brothers, who we understood bad retired from public 'Ho en an easy fortune, save two double songs and dances which were well received and encored especially their " All among the Eoses." The whole concluded with a rjpgro farce, the "New Prhna Donna," in which Mr P. Doran was most conspicuous and played with much vigour. A srre»t deal of the inn, and De Murskaallusions were the ingenious work or Mr P. Doran. win s»t the audience in roars as Ymick was aaid to do hy hia perfect wtt in the days of ' old. Mr Doran's new farce " O'Sullivan's Ghost" not beine ready, the " Prima Douna'1 was substituted. A. qnarfiillß party was subsequently formed, and aancißg kept up until the fl«t. hour of dewy morn. ■ CITY HAIL. The Skating Rink in the City Wall was well attended last evening, and much amusßment w«s created by the downfallineß and uprisings, adventures and mis adventures of those who ventured on the rink. This eveufner the peopl? of Ponsonby will have an oppor tunity of trying their skill in Ponsonby Hall, where tho skating rink will be established at eight o'clock by the statera.

Death in the Police Cell.

INQUEST ON THE BODY

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Auckland Hotel, before Dr. Philson, coroner, and a jury, on the body of a woman named Frances Wilson, otherwise Langdon, who died on the night of the 19th inst. in the Police Htation, Mr W. G. Clarke, foreman. Sub-Inspector Pardy conducted on the part of the police.

The jury having viewed the body, the fol lowing evidence was adduced :— Constable Dews deposed that he did not know the deceased woman, Wilson, he took charge of her at the lock-up on Monday night; there were four males and one female in the cells at the time ; she was then fast asleep ; he saw her at five minutes to ten, she rapped and asked for water ; he gave her some, ahe drank about half a pint and laid down upon her back, and prepared to go to sleep. He took her by her arm to assist her to lie more comfortable on her side. She then made use oF an oath, and desired to be left alone. He saw her again at eleven o'clock in company with Setjfanfc O'Connor. She was then fast asleep ; he raised her head by the Perjeant's order, and placed a blanket under her ; he did not observe anything remarkable, beyond that she seemed suffering from drink of which she smelled very strong. Sergjennt O'Connor suggested the necessity of keeping an eye on her, and to visit the cell irequently to sea that ahe did not turn on her face ; he saw her every twenty minutes ; ahe coughed Beveral times about midnight. At half-past ODe on the following morning he noticed that her breath became vary irregular. Sergeant O'Connor immediately sent him for a doctor ; he fetched Dr Dawson, who re turned with him, and found the woman quite dead. He searched her and found two gold Tings on her finger, and a purse fproduced) containing la 9d, also four pawn tickets, small mirror, sundry papers, and a note addressed to Mrs Langdon. To the Coroner : She snored very much in Bleep, but not like a person in a fib. Sergeant Jeremiah O'Connor was next examined, and corroborated the statement of the previous witness. The woman was charged with drunkenness. He got a couple of blankets and a great ooat to make her as comfortable as possible. He visited her several times, but saw no change in her until half-past one in the morning ; her chin was then resting on her chest. She seemed shortly after to have a difficulty in breathing, and there was a noise in her throat, and tho pulse in her left hand beat rapidly. He then despatched the constable for a doctor. He noticed a ch&nge come over her features a little after two o'clock. Her face was flushed, her hands were warm, and she died without a struggle ; he had known her for a con siderable time ; she led a very dissipated life, and had suffered from delirium tremens. She had been living recently in Havelock street, off Symonds-street. Constable Richard Gamble gave evidence < He was at the station at half-past three o'clock on Monday last, when a message was sent to say that a drunken woman was lying in High-street ; he proceeded to the spot and found the woman on the pavement by the Shortland-street end of High-street ; she was laying on her left side with her face against the pavement. She was helplessly drunk. He raised her up and took her to the station. She was unable to walk. She desired him to let her lie for half-an-hour and she should be all right. She had a jet neoklace on with a bone cross attached, which he took off, as they seemed to impede her breathing. She had a bad eye, for which she had been under medical treatment; he had locked her tip before for drunkenness. George Goldie, Sanitary Inspector, deposed that he was in High-street on Monday after noon when he saw the deceased lying on the footpath apparently drnnk. When Constable Gamble turned the woman on t her side he recognised her as a person living in Haveloek street. On the 31st May he had occasion to call at the house where she lived; She was then drunk. He learnt that her name was Wilson and that a person named Harrison had lived there but who^was in the hospital. She told him that she was a lady. George Jennings, shoemaker, deposed that he worked in Shortland Crescent. Saw deceased on Monday at two o'clock ; she was passing the workshop, and nearly fell into the window ; Bhe was evidently tinder the influence of drink. She went as far as Ward"s the painter and put her bag on the pavement and sat down upon it. She presently got up and went towards Queen street. He saw her no more.

Dr Dawson of Wellesley-street, deposed that he attended deceased in October last for delirium tremens. He was called to see her on Tuesday morning last at the Police Court. He attended at once, and on reaching the station found that she was dead. Her head and shoulders were supported by several blankets; she was in an easy position, with her hands by her side; the face was calm, and there was no- evidence of convulsion [; she must have_ died quietly. He made a post-mortem examination of the body; the body was well nourished, and presented no marks of external violence. Dr Dawson then gave minutely the result of his examination, and was of opinion that death was caused by apoplexy, acoelerated by intemperance. He believed the police had shewn proper attention to the deceased. This being the evidence the jury returned a verdict of death from apoplexy, brought on by excessive drinking.

HARBOUR BOARD.

THE ERRINGTON ENQUIRY.

A srEOIAL meeting of the Harbour Board was held to-day to investigate the statements in the Evening Star of the 7th inst., con cerning Mr Errington, the engineer of the new dock. ' . The following gentlemen who had been snmmoned to give evidence were present :— Messrs Errington, Aicken, Mandesley, Luokie, Ware, Humphreys, Dickson, and two or three others. ~..,....•. The statements alluded to were contained ia a series of questions contained in a leading article of the Star. Mr Cosgrave suggested that the sitting should not extend beyond two hours. It was settled that the motion for adjourn ment might be moved at any time. Mr Tyler, solicitor, asked to be allowed to appear for Mr Errington. Captain Daldy said it wm an open meeting at which any gentleman might be present ; but he was it of opinion that there was any necessity for legal assistanceem the'enquiry. The members present coincided 3 m this

Mr Errington said he was desirous of the matter being fully investigated. He wished to have the assistance of Mr Tyler, but he must leave it in their hands. He wanted a fair field and no favour. Mr Isaacs thought the ruling of the Chair man was very right. ' ■'•

Mr D. H. FcKenwe thought it was only reasonable that Mr Tyler should give Mr Errington his assistance. It was ultimately settled that Mr Tyler should be allowed to be present, but not allowed to address the Board.

On No. 1 question being propounded, Mr Errington said there was a gentleman present who could give them information as to hia capabilities. He requested that Mr Mandesley might be called Mr Man3esley of the London firm of Engi neers, said he had not the pleasure of knew ing Mr ErriDgton,. but he was shewn some of his drawings by Mr Jones, and he was of opinion, that hart they beep submitted to the Association of Civil Engineers, that body would have been only too glad to have en rolled him as one of their body.

The Chairman asked what the plans were, Mr Maudesley replied they were the plans of the Harbour Works, and he considered them well done.

Mr Mays asked what plans were referred to?

Mr Mandesley replied that he referred to the plans for the present contract. In answer to Mr Mays, Mr Mandesley said he was not personally aware that the plans were either drawn by Mr Errington or the design furnished by him. Mr Mays wished to ask Mr Errington a question.

Mr Boylan said if Mr Errington was to admit that he was not a Civil Engineer, the Board had condoned it and they were to blame.

Mr Brett certainly thought that as the Chairman had decided that the statements should be taken seriatim, it was advisable that all the evidence and questions upon any one point should be taken and put before another point was gone into.

Mr Holdship thought they had better decide the mode of procedure at once. Mr MoKenzie said he recollected Mr Tfrrington telling tham he was not a Oivil Engineer. He (the Chairman) knew it, and he did not see what was the use of putting the question. Mr Dfldy moved that the question No. 1 be passed.

This being seconded, Mr Mays moved as an amendment and Mr Brett seconded it—That Mr Errington be asked what works he has done.

The amendment was lost,

No. 2 question was then proceeded with. [Vhe enquiry was proceeding as we went to press]

Siffnor de Vivo, in presenting to the intelligent public of Auckland this Unexampled Cantatrice, feels sure that little need be said of her merits as an artiste, nor of the brilliant achievements she has made in Opera and Concerts in Europe, and especially in London, for Eix conEecutive seasons—these have passed into musical history. Her originality, versa tility, magnetic power of delineation, as well as the phenomenal range, flexibility, and quality of her voice, have placed her in the front rank of her pro fession, and made her the legitimate Buccessor of Jenny Lind. Ht-r advent in America and Havana, and lately In Australia, in Opera and Concerts, has been a series of Unparalleled Triumps. Her large and varied repertoire, representing the truest schools of Classicism, as well as the best works of Italian, French, German, and English operatic composers, will aflford her ample opportunity to please the various tastes of the music-lovin? public. • MDLLE.
