New Native Lands Bill-

The " Wananga" learns on good author ity that the promise made by the Attorney- General, Mr Whitakcr, to the House of Representatives that he would draft a new Native Lands Bill during the recess has been fulfilled. A new bill sweeping away all existing Acts, lias been drafted by Mr. Whitaker with the assistance of Chief Judge Fcnton. The "Wananga" hopes that the Government will secure "the confidence of the natives in this important matter by circulating the bill amongst them in the Maori language at least a month before

Parliament meets

The Friendly societies Bill.

The "Telegraph" in noticing the returns sent by the under secretary to several friendly societies with the object of giving Government information, in order to frame a new bill next session, points out that on the face the return asks that, they should lie returned to Wellington on the Ist April, while they were not posted in Wellington until the sixteenth April, and terms it more med dling and muddling.

Gold Discovery.

Several natives of Porangahau state that a European named Sierney or Kane, has left that district for Wellington after exhibiting specimens of nuggety gold whicli he alleged had been found on their land. Hcnare Matua, who states he has seen the specimens, complains that the man borrowed tools from his people, and said he had pegged off 100 feet where he obtained the gold. The natives are particularly anxious that if he shows gold at Wellington he will be seized and made to tell from where he obtained it.

CREDITORS' MEETING,

Mr Ford, late of the Criterion Hotel, held a meeting of his creditors this after noon. His assets were roughly estimated at £(>OO, and unsecured liabilities over £6000. The meeting appointed trustees, and the estate is to go through the Bank ruptcy Court. NAPIER HARBOUR WORKS.

When Messrs Ormond and Carruthers Avere being landed from the Wanaka in a •steam tug theyjhad an excellent opportunity of inspecting the Harbour Works. The tug was stuck on the bar for nearly two hours with seas dashing over her. Neither minister or engineer appeared to care for the prospect before them. Eventually the vessel was got off. Mr Ormond has gone to his estate, Mr Carruthers to Auckland. ROTTEN RAILWAY TIMBER.

It has been found that the Oregon timber imported by the Governnient for railways is now all rotten and will have to be replaced by New Zealand timber.

Mr F. E. Hamlin has resigned the Resi dent Magistracy of Maketu and accepts the appointment as clerk and interpreter of the Magistrate's Court here. He previously rilled the same situation, and on resigning was succeeded by his brother who recently died.

DUNEDIN, this day

Why the Governor was Hissed.

Under Hie heading " Why the Governor was hissed," Mr Stout supplies a column and a half letter to the "Guardian," in whicli lie reiterates the charges re the despatches on the Abolition Bill, and the bins as shown in his recommendation to Hunter, M.11.R, and Montgomery, as Consuls. lie says, in conclusion, if this be so, if the Governor has manifested party feeling, are the colonists so craven-hearted tnat they are afraid to condemn him for his action. if it is to be said of New Zea land colonists that their worship of aristo crats is so intense that all the shortcomings of the Governor are to be overlooked, then it is useless to talk of being in a free country or among an enlightened people. Nor is this a question for the Proviucialists alone. Once it is recognised that it is the correct thing for a Governor to have party leaning, we can afford to dispense with the Imperial Government appointing him. Why should the colonists not be able to elect their own Governor. No doubt those who assume to " appear " -the upper crust here, have the same class bias as in other countries—to one in authority they arc ever ready to bend, but I trust the citizens of Otago will manifest an independence of feel nig which will show they are ready to condemn any man who acts wrongly.

A CANDIDATE FOR PARLIAMEN-

TARY HONOURS.

The "Star" say that Under-Secretary Willis not receiving sufficient support, has abandoned the idea of contesting Auckland City West, but will take the earliest oppor tunity of trying to enter Parliament. CLERICAL NOTES. The Rev. Mr Samlford preaching at All Saints' last night, strongly denounced the practice of banks keeping clerks working late at hight, which as much as anything else produced mischief at St. Paul's. The Archrleacon had to lament the abstraction of a pound note from the collection bag. As the Governor leaves for Invercargill on Thursday, the projected civic banquet falls through. He will be entertained at a ball on Wednesday.

In the Supreme Court, Ringokl, for forgery, was sentenced to four years' penal servitude ; Klein, for burglary, to two years' hard labour ; Parkes, for forgery, two years' hard labour. Moffatt's case is now being tried. Tamihana, the hero of the Montoa Island fight, is dead. The natives are arriving m numbers to hold a tangi over him.

DUNEDIN, this day,

SPIRITUALISM. An association for the investigation of the phenomena of spiritualism, and discovering truth thereof, has been formed in Dunedin. A four-roomed house at Opoho, insured for £140 in the National, was burnt down yesterday. The Governor holds a levee to-day.

CHORAL HALL.

Tins substantial and handsome building has now a very handsome facade, and is quite an ornament to the city. The outlay for the com pletion of the exter'or ornamentation was ad vanced, in the lirst instance by Mr Fenton, but Mr VV Swanson came forward and generously offered to give the money for a period of twelve months without interest. This offer has been accented in full confidence that the efforts of members of the Society will be exerted in the interval to free this hne building from all debt and it is to be hoped that the ladies and 2-entlcmcn who compose the Society, as well as the general public who desire to encourage and foster the cultivation of high-class musical taste, will shew that the confidence has been justified. The Society is now rehearsing " Chiipenc, winch will'be uroduced iv about two or three weeks hence," and wc believe., in such a manner, as cannot fail to ensure its entire success. „-_.

ONEHUNGA POISONING CASE.

INQUEST ON THE BODY. AX inquest was held yesterday at Mr John B-ierlv^s Family Hotel Onehunga, by Dr Phi son, coroner, and a jury of fourteen, on the body ol the boy, Campbell Kirkwood Clark. Mr Thomas George Blakey, foreman. James Sherlock gave evidence as to accom nanving deceased to the neighbourhood of the Three Kings, for the pm pose of catching rabbits, the finding of the bottle which they thought was brandy, as described in our complete notice in last evening's STAR. ~ ■ .

found tho boy with his eyes open, ap parently in convulsions. The limbs were extended, the iaws fixed, and it was with diffi culty that the mouth was forced open. The boy died within thirty minutes of his arrival. He tested the liquid, and found that it contained strychnine. The quantity of strychnine neces sary to cause death varied according to tho constitution. He had made a post-mortem examination of the body, but had reserved the stomach and contents for future examination. He could discover no evidence of desease in the abdomen He should be ablo to give the result of his examination on Thursday uext. The father of deceased having answered a few quest ions, the enquiry was adiourned until Thursday next, at the same hotel at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

THE GEORGIA MINSTRELS.

The tremendous house which last night, greeted the iirst appearance of the Georgia Minstrels shows conclusively two things: lirst, that the people of Auckland are ever eager to patronise a genuine novelty, second, that tho reputation or" the troupe had roused public expectation to the highest pitch. By eight o'clock every bit of sitting and standing room in the theatre was occupied, and the lessee was at last compelled to order the ticket office to be closed, thereby indicting a bitter disappointment on many who had to defer their promised pleasure. The interior of the house was a sight of itself, so densely packed were all parts of it. The strength of the supports was fully and satisfactorily tested last night, and the same may be said of the ventilation. In spite of the large quantities of carbonic gas which must have been evolved during the evening, there was never anything like oppressiveness in the atmosphere. But to the performance. When the curtain rose th^rc was no regular bow of minstrels seated with hands on knees, and every one in exactly the same position, but a drawing room scone met the relieved eve, with the performers seated aboMt in easy attitudes. Mr Hicks as interlo cutor occupied the centre of the stasre, seated at a small table. Singers and instrumentalists were mingled with artistic though seemingly chance arrangement. One feature of the group struck the spectator at once; this was the immistakeable negro cast of the countenances. Xo imitation here, no burnt cork and soap, but the genuine shiny black of the Ethiopian skin, with the high cheekbones, thick, prominent lips, and wide, gash-like mouth. A brief intro ductory speech by-Mr Hicks, was impatiently listened to, and then, at a fjiven signal, the company burst out into a iovial chorus. Two tambo men occupied the left wing, and two "bones" the right wing, and this seemed to be the only respect in which the time-honoured practice of negro minstrelsy was adhered to, though even in this it will be noticed, the usual proportions were doubled. We especially notice these because their per formances wore undoubtedly tho feature of tlie entertainment. Their antics fairly convulsed the audience, and how they worked in tho time as perfectly as they did whilst going through such fearful contortions, was a complete puzzler. This ovor. a series of solos and choruses followed: all in tho genuine plantation style. Taking the solos as specimens of artistic singing they were not good, but as samples of the real slave melodies of Geu-gia they were perfect. Mr Hicks made a hit with his " Little Log Cabin in the Bane," in which the expression and a-ti culation were capital, md well-deserved the encore they gained. Tho sotto voce repeats of the choruses must be mentioned as particularly lino. The iotees from the corner men struck us rather laboured, but a yarn told by one of the "bones" was first-class, and provoked hearty laughter. A farce, in which the ridiculous far exceded the witty, brought the first, part of the performance to a conclusion. Tho second part consisted of comicalities and character sketches Of various merit. Hosea EAstou'* banjo perfor mance was one of the best of them, and the farce, "A Squire for a Day," decidedly the tamest. Charlie Crusoe brought down the house by his stump speech, " What shall wc do with our girls ." which was as good of its kind as any wc have ever heard. Messrs Bowman and Mat lock's sentimental ditty ,vas clever; but a far higher compliment is duo to MessrsKecnan and Morton's clog dance, which could hardly bo beaten, it was of such exccllen c. " Mar'ha Jane Baron," a song by Billy Wilson, was heartily relished for its perfection of absurdity, and evoked loud encores. A scone in the cotton plantat ion,tho effect of which was heightened by some artfully-arranged coloured lights, made a suitable wind-up nf" the evening. Two mistakes call for rectification in future. One was, the performance was nearly an hour too long, and tho other was, the introduction of the negro camp meeting hymn, which bordered on the profane, and evidently displeased many of the audience. The merits of the company are so numerous that Ihcv may rest assured of public favour for a lengthened period. In dancing, tambourino, and bones manipulation, the originals are evidently vet far ahead of their imitators. Another bumper house is sure to welcome tho " Georgias " to-night and intending spectators had better he in time. The. dress circle plan is at Upton'" as usual. Mr Hicks is not a white man, as stated by tho "Herald."

PRIMITIVE METHODIST SOIREE.

THE annual t«a - meeting and soiree of th* Edwards-streot Primitive Methodist Church was held last evening. About 300 persons sat down to well-weighted tables, and partook liberally of ham sandwiches, cake, tart, and finest souchong, which did credit to the good taste of the ladies, whose names are worthy of type, and who deserved the vote of thanks proposed by Rev. W. Tinsley at the close of the proceedings. Their names are Mesdames Morris, Froude, Hall, Cullen, Tinsley, and Misses Froude and Leslie, nor should the name of Mrs Squirrell be omitted, who was extremely busy on this occasion. The public meeting was held in tho chapel, Rev. W. Tinsley in the chair. The proceedings opened with the 47th hymn, and prayer by Rev. W. Watkin. The chairman, in his o'.fining remarks, referred to the position and prospects of the church, whicli had now reached its 26th anniversary, He could not help reAerting to the fact that two of their oldest friends had "neon lost to them during the pact year, viz., tho Rev. Mr. Ward, the founder of the Edwardes-strcet Church, and Mr. James Harris, who was from its earliest, history connected with Edwardes-street. In looking to the past year, ho felt that they had not done so much as might have been done, still they had cause for thankfnlno?s. In the matter of finance they had been able to reduce the debt on the church from £180 to £50, which balance he hoped would ho. liquidated in the course of the present year. Rev. R. Taylor followed in a capital speech on " Spiritual Hearing," which was of an entertain* ing and interesting character, full of anecdotes in. connection with the subject. The speaker said th* Church wanted prayerful hearing, charitable hearing, and discriminating hearing ■; also, attentive bearing. Persons should not go to church merely to get into a cokv comer and sleep, but listen patiently, so that, Uie preaching might be pro!!table. Pay, J. t Robertson spoK.?' on " Individual Work," ana urged that ail OhciSlir-i.M tn.H.kl be W.u'X'YS '■>) hi-Ai-t fc.nci doyd. tvnd fevi.iu.-rd in inl'n lhi« biy.*-.iii;i Slicing irom

speech was calm, thoughtful, and wisely sugges tive throughout: Roy. B. J. Westbrooke's speech was characteristic, the subiect being '• Perse verance." Mr. Westbrooko dwelt at some length on the word in its varied significance, and spoko of the incentives (1) seeking to realise the importance of the work; (2) the talent and brcvitv of Time ; and (3) the reward of patient merit.' The last speaker was the Rev. W. J. Watkin, who made a thoroughly humourous speech on " Rumours of War," which stirred the laughter of the audience. The action and drollery of the speaker were very romarkable > and almost Grimaldian in character. Mr Watkin, however, turned his rumours to good account, and applied them as illustrations of Christian warfare, in harmony with the pictures which Bunyan drew in his " Holy war." In the intervals of the speeches the choir sang, " Go work in Mv Vineyard," and a number of Moody and Sankey's hymns, concluding with the doxology. .
