PRESENTATION OF THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS TO MISS EDGER.

We were unable to give full particulars of this interesting event in our last issue, owing to the lateness of the hour of the meeting. The Bishop of Auckland, (Dr Cowie) who followed Mr Lusk, spoke as follows :— Re gladly accepted the invitation of the Chairman to speak a few words on so in teresting an occasion. As one of the senior English graduates present he had much pleasure in saluting the oldest, arid youngest female jyraduatie in New Zealand, in the person of .'Miss Kate Kdprer. Those interested in the progress of education were to be congratulated on the triumph of the principle involved in the bestowal of a 13. A. degree upon that young lady ; and her parents and teachers, as well as herself, were to be thanked for the honour that accrued to Auckland from the fact that one of its citizens wag the first woman to receive a B.A. decree. The Bishop could testify that the examination passed by IVliss Edtfer was of a higher kind than that required for the ordinary B.A. degree at Cambridge in his time, except that a know ledge of Greek was necessary there. At the English Universities the B.A. degree was noc conferred on women. Our grandmothers had not been admitted to it, and therefo'-e it was not desirablo that our sisters should be. Such was the nature of the objection; but such optionism was disappearing. Learned ladies were sometimes disparagingly called

" blue stockings," but nicknames were not arguments. It was. however, sometimes said that the cultivation <>.' the intellect of women was incompatible with the tenderness which was accounted one of their principal claims. The Bishop said that it wan not the cultivation of the intellect that repressed tenderness, but leaving uncultivated the affections,—sacrificing the heart to the head : the character could not b3 symmetricl if any one department were neglected. Ncrjlr-tumsui ulciscilur. The prejudice on this subjecfc had been confirmed in many mhulsbvtwo autobiographiesrccciitlypublisned —J S Mill's and ttiu-riot JMartineaus. They had however, the life of Sarah Coleridge, who was'one of the most highly educated women of the same period, and at the same time one of the most tender and refined. It was said also that the high intellectual training of women would put, an end to the proper "subjection of women." whatever that wtu;. The Bishop appealed ro the married men of the assemblage to say whether th-:re were not more men in subjection to their wives: so that this was a case of rcdiictto ml (tbmrdum. The becoming subiection on either side had to do with the auctions, and nor the intellect.: and wo might, say of it n<Uarum /urea expel as. The advantages to be gained by young women from studying for a University Degree were positive and negative. Among the forme" was the help g'ivouthsul to become lieips meat for Ihoie fellow mortals with, whom they looked forward to share the joys and halve the sorrows of life. The negative advantages would partly be seen in the limit placed to some of Cue many unre muaerative pastimes in which our young women spend a great part, of their time. Our daughters .is well as our sons should be taught to pray the prayer of old Thomas a Kimpis, Da iivhi. Domino, wire qao'.l se.iendam cat Rev. David Bruce, of St. Andrew's, next rose, and,as :■„ member of tue.scnata of the University of Xew Zealand, expressed the great satisfaction afforded the senate in having the opportunity of conferring the degree of Bachelor of Arts upon Miss Edger. Mr Bruce then described the degree, and the difficulties to bo passed in its attainment, and concluded by saying that the value of this occasion lies in the probability that it will stimulate young persons to apply them selves diligently to their studies, and that it will encourage the desire for high cultivation of intellect, and the higher branches of education. He hoped gentlemen of wealth and means would soon appreciate the benefit they might confer on this country, on their fellow-settlers, and on the future of this community, by endowing some professorial chairs, and ostablishing bur saries that would be, objects of competition.

Mr Macrae conducted Miss Eager to the table on the platform, and .addressing the Chairman, said: "I present to you, sir, as delegate of the Chancellor of the University of Xcw .Zealand, for admission to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Kate Milligan Edger. who has been declared to have fulfilled all the condi tions required for that degree under the now regulations of the University. The young lady was greeted with cheers, all the gentlemen on the platform rising to receive her.

The chairman then presented the diploma in due form, which was a certificate printed on parchment, as follows :—-" I certify that Kate -Miliigan Eilgcr has been admitted to the degree oi' Bachelor of Arts of the University of New Zealand,—Given under my hand, the 16th day of March, 1877. John Hkxky Taxcred, Chan cillor."

The Btehop then presented MJss Edger with a white, oaraelia, of considerable size and beauty, which meant, according to some who are skilled in such matters, "unpretending excellence." which she received with becoming modesty, It was announced that Miss Edger was about to leave Auckland to till an important scholastic position in the Ladies' College in Christchurcli, the emoluments of which amount to £300 per annum.

SUPREME COURT CIVIL SITTINGS THIS DAY.

Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies, and

a special jury, namely, Messrs Boylan (foreman,)' Ireland, Cameron, . Eaton, Coupland, Heath, Harding, Filclor," Urwin, Fleming, and Morrow. ENGOSH AND BRISSUXDIiN".

In this action, Mr 1-J.ees, instructed by Mr Devore, appeared for the plaintiff, William Manvood English, and Mr Keskoth and Mr Lusk, for the defendant, Edward T. Brissendon. The plaintiif sought to re cover from defendant various sums of money, alleged to be due for wages, ami for payments made by plaintiff for goods, cattle, etc., in connection wifiii defendant's farm and store at Rnn'giriri. The plaintiif had been in defendant's service as manager, at a salary of 200, and the present- action arose out of the confused state of the accounts between the parties. The amount claimed was about £200. Mr Roes opened the case for plaintiff, and Mr Hcsketh replied. James Morton, accountant, deposed that he was one of the assigned trustees of the estate of defendant. lie had been applied to for wages and money advanced for ser vices at the store, and llangitiri. Mr Eng lish Was general manager of the store. He applied m Dacember last for monies al leged to be owing, and shewed him the pass-books and ledger, in evidence of his claim. He carefully examined the accounts, but found'no such sum-as £119 Ss (>d. He had not gone over the books with Mr Eng lish, but Mr English had opportunities of inspecting them. He discovered two let ters among the papers that came into his possession, signed by Mr English, dated respectively 20th and 2-Atii July, IS7G. He found a debit for tiie £35, posted by Mr English to his own credit of date August S. Mr Heskcth asked that a copy of the ac counts might be furnished to the jury. Witness continued. The easii book shews the receipts of £119 8s Gd, and the £35, and other small items, and he be lieved they must have been paid, as Mr English had posted them-ill his own book to his credit. Cross-examined by Mr Rees :He did not know a man named Jones, he had heard of him. He put in the set off in the action as one of the trustees. He did not ask Mi- English for an explanation about the £119 ; he had found other errors in the accounts ; lie did not inquire of Mr Brissenden about this special item. He kept the matter secret from both of them for reasons of his own. He had refused Mr English the opportunity of inspecting the books, when he wanted to know what was wrong about them. When Mr Cooper applied he was busy, and could not let him have them ; he was subpoened to give evidence. His Honor said Brissenden was nominally defending the action. < W M. English, plaintiff, deposed that on tile 20th ofJuly he received £119 from Mr McGlcish. "He received it on his own account, for shoop sold by Mr Brissen den who owed him a sum of money winch he ban-owed on the 10th July 1876. He kept the money lent to Mr Brissenden separate so as they should not be mixed tip with trade accounts. There was a balance out of the £115), which he either sent to Brisseuden or paid away on Ins <ICMr Kces examined plaintiff to shew that he had paid a number of small accounts varying from £3 to £20, on account of Mr Brissenden. . Jones, who kept the books, was the ser vant of Mr Brissenden. His account was admitted by defendant as being correct; lie understood the particulars, but the trustees did not, nor were they likely to know from Mr Brissenden. ,_ Cress-examined at great length by Air Hcsketh : The accounts were so mixed up, that it was almost impossible to .state them His Honor : Whose duty was it to keep those accounts. ? Plaintiif: Mr Jones's, who was em ployed for that special purpose. Mr J. B. Russell, solicitor, deposed that he was applied to by Mr Brissenden to endeavour to get the matter adjusted with the trustees if possible. He knew he was

Mr DcvfTc, solicitor, deposed that lie had interviews with plaintiff and defendant in relation to this case, on the IG March lie saw them respecting the particulars of the present. Mr Brissenden then ackn nwlcdgsd that they were correct, but he hesitated to sign, a-: he had s n Jones to the Waikato to examine the accounts. H filly.be! c cd the claim was right, but as the trustees would not settle it, they must be made to do so, and he would confess judgment. He handed in a list of moneys paid on his account by Mr English (produced.) Mr Willcocks, the registrar, read out the items of the payments to the jury. This was the case. Mr Rees and Mr Hcskcth addressed the jury in favour of their respective clients. His Honor reviewed tiie evidence as clearly as possible, and submitted the case to the jury.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A SERIOUS accident occured yesterday to a man. named John Pover, who lias been for sometime in the employ of MrDornwell, butcher, of Queen-street. The accident hap pened about half-past live o'clock in the evening, rover was riding along Princes street in the direction of Government House when lie observed a, baker's horse and cart, driven by two boys, who were on the wrong side of the way. He pulled his horse on one side f r the purpose of clearing the cart, when the shaft came in sharp contact with his leg, and passed through the calf, or fleshy part. The poor fellow was immediately thrown to the ground, and at the same moment the horse fell. Seve ral persons at once went to the assistance of the injured man, and Dr Kendcrdine was sent for. The doctor, who was promptly in attendance, bound up the wound, and recommended that Pover should be sent to the hospital, Mr Dornwell pro cured a cab, and had him conveyed thither, where he received attention from Dr Norton, the present house-surgeon, who, having ex amined the wound, feared that amputation was inevitable.

WELLINGTON, this day.

FEMALE HORSEWHIPPERS.

Two cases oi norsewmppiuy lutve JU bu occurred in Wellington, both being inflicted by femini-ne liagellators on masculine victims The first was Hooper's case. The second arose thus : A certain young rrentleman, who not long ago was obliged to "O down on his knees and apologise to a barmaid for impertinence, circulated some very gross stories, to the effect that a cer tain person whom he named was hvmg on the proseeds of his wife's misconduct. Ims coming to the ears of the wife, she sought outlier young friend with a formidable .horsewhip, and managed to catch him in a well-known cigar shop, where she at once proceeded to administer a sound flogging, disregarding his shrieks and prayers for mercy. At length the proprietor of the shop not relishing such a scene in his estaoUsn ment, induced the irate dame to retire, on which she summoned her foe to come outside, if he was a man, for she had not half done with him yet." The brave youth, however, directly he could get loose tied into the private room behind the shop, and remained perdu till assured that his female eiicmv had taken her departure.

WELLINGTON QUARTZ. Mr Crawford, R. M,. informs the " Post that he lately received from Melbourne the following report upon a. pie<:e of quartz from this district, sent by him for examination : " Bank of Victoria," Melbourne 23rd May, 1977 —I have tested the quartz specimens left with me for assay and I find it tob« composed of sulphate of iron I likewise assayed for gold, and from 1000 grains I got a button weighing .034 ozs. or 1 002 per Sin Signed, J. CHAPMAN." Mr Chapman is described as "nrinerologistaml "■ssayerto the Bank of Victoria," and is deemed tne best in the colony. Mr Crawford purposes vin^ full particulars, with information Ss to localities in which the quartz was

found, in the paper to he read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, on the 21st inst. LIBEL CASE. ! The great libel ease, Anderson v. Gillon, occupied the Supreme Court all yesterday. It was tried by Sir Justice Richmond, and a special jury. The libel consisted in an insinuation by the ■' Evening Argus," that when a member of the Provincial Council Mr Anderson sold his vote for a place in the land office, and that his connection with the Wellington " Independent" was severed, owing to misconduct in canvassing the town. The evidence was very voluminous. The plaintiff gave evidence very clearly, entirely rebutting the insinuation. The defence set up was that the alleged libels did not bear the maturing attached byplain tiff, and that in a natural sense the words were true. Evidence of justification was not admitted, as notice had not been given. ?>lr Travers made an able speech for the defendant, and Mr Allen a brilliant reply. The jury, after retiring for half-an-hour, found a verdictfov plaintiff on the first count, with damages 40s, and for the defendant on second count. Each party will have to pay his own costs.

Omc o'clock was the hour ap-

| jointed for the rendezvous at jSewton, and i shorly after that time between 300 and 400 members of the Society, including rcpre " BClltatives from sixteen out of twenty-live Lodges had assumblea at the Hall.

SYDNEY

—THIS DAY.

] 111 the .Assembly yesternight, the (jiu«K< 11 of the Pacific mail service cropped up. IMr Parkcs acknowledged the extremely unsatisfactory position in which the ser i vice stood. He thought a better arrange ment might have been made by the l;ite Government. The present Government found they must, either let the service drop ; altogether, or adopt the course into which j the late postmaster-general had practically ■ forced them. The (•ovurnmcut had done all that was possible under the circum stances, but admitted that the present arrangements were not at all satisfactory.

GUN ACCIDENT TO MR SEYMOUR GEORGE.

LAST Monday Mr Seymour Gcoi^e met with an accident at the Kawati which was within an ace of seriously injuring him. ile was deerstalking about a mile from Sir G. Grey's house, with a Wcstley Richards rifle. Upon being discharged at a line back, the rifle exploded at the- breach. About two inches of the metal was blown clean away, and tke flash momentarily blinded Mr George. On recovering from tne shock, ho found himself very little injured, but his face is marked in several places by the pow der. It was fortunate the accident was no worse, far he was by himself, and assist ance would have been a long time in arriv-

THE MOKAU OPENED TO EURO PEANS.

Every event which marks the removal of the prejudices between the Maori and the European, is of importance in the History of the colony. An occurrence has just taken place on the West Coast, which denotes the gradually strengthening desire of the natives in what is called the King Country to invite Euro pean settlers to conip among them, The paddle steamer Hauraki was chart ered at Waita.ra on her last trip, to take six settlers ami their families to thcMoukau, a river about 30 miles north of the jWaitara, and hitherto so completely closed to Euro peans as Kawhia. The steamer entered the river Avith ease (the navigation is superior to that of the Weitara) and the settlers get ting into the boat, wert rowed up to the native settlement. It appears that the coming of the pake-has was expected and a large concourse of natives had assembled to meet them. Far from oft'er ikig any opposition every native vied with his fellow to welcome the strangers. They helped run the boat in, and exhibited every demonstration of joy. The chief* were particularly loud ill their expressions of gladness and told the Captain of the steamer that lie might tell all the pakehas that the Mokau was henceforth open to them for ever. We may mention that the land is exceed ingly rich and capable of great develop ment.

Messrs Partridge and Woollams, of Queen-street, have imported a novel ship ment of matches, appropriately dubbed "The Friend." The box not only contains wax vestas and fusees for lighting pipes and cigars when the wind is blowing high, but also a miniature candle fitted in a tin socket. These are to be sold at the price of the ordinary vertas, and are admirably suited to the pocket, being far less bulky than the common tin box.

The half-yearly meeting of All Saints' parishioners, will be held this evening in the school-room. The business will be important, including the passing of account? and appointment of churchwardens in place of Messrs Payne and Recs resigned.

At a general meeting of the creditors of John Leech, of Shortland-street, held this day at the Supreme Court buildings, it was unanimously agreed that the debtor receive his final discharge.

ACCIDENT BY A SAUSAGE MACHINE.

The details of an accident which occurred in Newton more than a week ago, have only just been related to us, and though, fortunately it docs not involve serious con sequences, yet it is of such a singular description that it is worth recording1. Mrs Tucker, the wife of Mr Tucker, butcher, of Karangahape Road, was engaged feeding a sausage machine which another person was employed, in turning, when suddenly her hair, ■ which she wore in plaits, caught in the wheel"-, and was drawn in between the rollers. Before she had time even to call out, her head was forcibly drawn against the cogs, which bruised her forehead frightfully, and tore out a good deal of her hair. The assistant was looking the other way at the time, and did not observe the accident, till she felt the extra exertion required in turning. Mrs Tucker, besides carrying a scar on her forehead' has her eyes still darkened by the rough usage of the machine and we regret to hear that some unkind poisons have been assiduous in assigning Mr Tucker as the cause, thereby heaping up for that respectable tradesman a large amount of undeserved abuse.

The soiree to welcome the Rev Mr Monro, to his charge at St Luke.-;, Remuera, will take place this evening. Crowthcr's busses leave the., P-ost-office, Shortland-strcet, at every lictlp^ittr up to .seven o'clock, and "will be available for visitors from town, who can return by the same means of con veyance. A visitor to the house of Mrs "Welsh, the ■widow, whose case was drawn attention to by a correspondent in last evening's issue, informs us that he found the family in great destitution. The widow and two children had supsisted chiefly on a pumpkin and Ccibbage, without bread, for two days. Mr J. King', who at once relieved the pressing necessities of the familvfrom his own purse, has undertaken to collect a, few subscrip tions on her behalf. We would draw the attention of the Relieving Officer to the ea^e. It c irtainly stems as much entitled to relief a^ many in which the rations are allowed. :"' M'K^ Remnants of Carpets at a Sacifice RIiMNAXTS of Floor Cloth at a Sacrifice REMNANTS of Dress Goods at ii Sacrifice Housekeepers have now a rare chance of procuring- short lengths of Brnsscl and Tapestry carpets and Floor Cloths low.
